Chapter 36: Bai Yuzhong (2)
It's a large hall.
Stepping here, it means that you have officially entered the core of the underground palace. The feet are paved with green bricks, and the walls are elegant Qin Dynasty painted bricks. It continuously outlines the great achievements of the Qin Emperor in destroying the Six Kingdoms and unifying the Central Plains. Every five meters, there is a wall lamp sticking out. Overhead is a relief of a giant dragon circling, and the carving is extremely exquisite.
The giant pillars of the dragon stand in the hall, and this hall is endless, I am afraid that it is thousands of meters in size. The giant pillars are like towering old trees, and the hall is like a dark forest. Dim lights, desolate murals, intertwined light and shadow...... The thick atmosphere of history is blowing in the dust. When people are in it, they can't help but feel a sense of insignificance.
But everything was ruined by the high technology scattered around.
Guns were scattered on the ground, open backpacks, and mutilated bones...... Everything is so obvious that when you close your eyes, you can see how these people struggled with all their strength in the first place. In a panic, he opened his backpack and took out his gun, but in the end, only the senior of the Chongxuan faction walked out. but trapped in the river of mercury.
Jiang Xian walked to a pillar. The stone pillar collapsed more than two meters away, leaving only the upper and lower sections, and the center was missing. And right next to the stone pillar, the blue bricks on the ground cracked. There was even a headless skeleton lying down.
"It was smashed from right to left." Ling Xiaozi quietly walked to Jiang Xian's side, looked at the traces of the broken stone pillar, and said in a deep voice: "It's definitely not human power, people can't do this." ”
Jiang Xian retracted his gaze and looked at the deep hall, his eyes narrowed slightly: "It's not just people...... Its fragmentation height is around two meters. Judging by the size, the thing that broke the stone pillar...... I'm afraid it's more than two and a half meters. Moreover, these stone pillars are carved in one piece. Not hollow. To break them...... The power of the puncher...... More than a ton, no! At least two tons! ”
Behind them, everyone gasped.
No matter how good the kung fu is, if you are touched by this monster, it will be a broken bone and tendon!
"In nature...... Got this kind of thing? Hong Siniang was stunned.
Jiang Xian squatted down, looked at the skeleton of the corpse, and said in a deep voice: "Some large creatures such as elephants can be easily reached. But they can't hit this meter. ...... who can do this kind of action I have a guess. ”
His eyes darkened, and he said word by word: "King Kong orangutan." That is, the silverback gorilla. ”
"Adult silverback gorillas, up to two meters tall. The power of the fist can reach two tons, which is more than enough to break the stone pillar. ”
"Why the adamantine orangutan?" Ling Xiaozi frowned in the rhythm of immortality: "Bears can also achieve this kind of strength......
Before the words fell, Jiang Xian looked at the idiot. Ling Xiaozi swallowed the second half of the sentence in his throat, coughed and said: "Of course, because this is the tomb of Emperor Qin, if it is a silverback gorilla, then it can explain what the monster in the pit is." And the other side has this power and motivation...... Don't look at me like that, just ...... Feel free to ......"
Jiang Xian retracted his gaze and nodded: "In nature, the only people who can hit this angle and have the ability to break this kind of stone pillar are the Vajra orangutan and the bear. But in the tomb of the Qin Emperor, I have seen their movements and sizes through the tent, and they are most likely King Kong orangutans. But ......"
"There are no orangutans in China." Hong Siniang said quietly: "The orangutans in Asia are all orangutans with small sizes. The silverback orangutan you're talking about only grows in Africa. ”
The eight-armed Arhat continued: "Besides, back then, Emperor Qin also went to sea to the east, not to the west. How was the silverback orangutan introduced in Africa? ”
Jiang Xian shook his head, this was also what he couldn't figure out.
Two thousand years is too short in the history of biological change. Usually it is more than 10,000 years and 100,000 years as a stage. Fossils can infer what kind of creatures existed where and at what time, but the super-giant orangutans have never appeared in the history of China.
There is no reason to appear out of nowhere. At least there must be some traces.
"Let's move forward." He retracted his gaze and breathed a sigh of relief: "No matter what the mystery is, if you break this dungeon, you will always find a clue." ”
The hall was very quiet, which made everyone who had been killed all the way to life and death uncomfortable. The flashlight broke through the darkness and shone ahead, but nothing was found.
Time passed quietly in the dead silence, and the hall was surprisingly large, and the group walked for twenty minutes. Jiang Xiancai raised his hand and pointed ahead.
Hydroacoustic ......
In this emptiness, there was the sound of water!
There is the sound of water, which means that the source can be traced to find the entrance! Everyone's eyes lit up, and they quickened their pace in an instant.
It's getting closer...... After just a few minutes of running, rows of caves five meters high and four meters wide appeared in everyone's eyes, and the caves were extremely polished. Only the oil lamps on both sides are used as decoration. And beyond the cave...... Through a trace of moonlight!
"Something is wrong." While running, Hong Siniang approached Jiang Xian and said in a deep voice: "If this is the exit, then what is the Great Wall of Mercury and the underground palace in front of you to hide?" There's nothing in it, but it's trying to stop everyone from moving forward? But ahead is a natural exit? ”
This was not just his doubt, everyone's eyes were on Jiang Xian. He shook his head and was about to speak, when suddenly, a slight "thump" entered his eardrums. He stopped abruptly.
Brush Brush Brush! Everyone stopped at the same time, and then instinctively rushed to the surrounding pillars, hiding behind. Staring at the entrance of the cave.
Boom...... It wasn't an illusion, and immediately after, a second sound sounded outside the mouth of the cave.
There was a dead silence in the hall. All that was left was the dim light flickering. Everyone's eyes were crossed, and everyone could hear what was there...... Something extremely large is slowly approaching here.
Boom...... Boom...... The voice became clearer and clearer, as if stepping on the human heart. An inexplicable sense of depression and crisis is like a cocoon, wrapped more and more densely, until people can't breathe. Jiang Xian gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Climb up." ”
No one answered, but all of them climbed up the pillar with the slightest noise, the most agile speed. Almost at the same time, at the entrance of the cave, a head the size of a basin poked out.
The deep voice of "Roar ......" resounded through the passage like muffled thunder, and a loudspeaker entered the hall. The moment they saw the head, everyone felt a chill down their spines and climbed up with all their might.
This...... I'm afraid it's the murderer who caused all the tragedy here.
The head is so big, the body is probably about four or five meters! Pistols have little effect on them, except for submachine guns. However, they only had pistols and swords in their hands!
Knock, knock...... The sound of heavy footsteps was getting closer and closer, and everyone didn't dare to look down at all, desperately climbing up. Heavy footsteps were accompanied by a short roar of "roar, roar", and the moment the sound entered the hall, everyone stopped moving in unison.
Crackling...... The sound of the lights popping was heard occasionally, and the hall was once again dead silent. A behemoth has already entered the hall.
On the four pillars around it, none of the four Jiang Xian climbed to the top. Not being able to make a sound means that there can be no big movements, and not being able to make big movements means that the speed of climbing is not too fast. So...... Jiang Xian only climbed to the position of seven meters.
The monster was less than ten meters away from them. As the monster advanced, everyone invariably adjusted their movements slightly, hiding in the blind corner of the monster's realization. No one wanted to rush up and make a gesture, because ...... It's more than five meters tall! That's almost two floors!
"......" Ling Xiaozi's teeth trembled a little, every time the monster raised his leg and stepped on it, it was the time for them to adjust their movements - no one needed to teach them, this was an instinctive life-saving move, and everyone was like that. It was carefully entangled with this Grim Reaper, who was less than ten meters away, as if dancing on the tip of a knife.
Knock, knock - the huge palm fell to the ground, even raising a circle of dust around it. The huge body walked slowly. The oppressive force is indescribable. As it got closer, everyone could see clearly. It was indeed an orangutan.
A species that has never been seen before!
The body is similar in appearance to that of a normal orangutan, but it is covered in silver hair. Moreover...... A row of razor-sharp teeth in the mouth!
It gently stretches its forearms and crawls on the ground. The thick hind legs followed in a rhythmic manner, and the human-like palms occasionally lightly slashed over the stone pillars next to them. The sharp nails even brought a piercing "......" sound on the hard stone pillar.
It is engraved on people's hearts.
The nose like a black hole twitched desperately, as if smelling something. The two huge fangs of the lower jaw resembled a wild boar, and saliva trickled to the ground along its steps. Like blood dripping from a butcher's hook. Just as he reached the center of the pillar where the four of them were, he suddenly stopped moving.
No one dared to speak.
Everyone held their breath, and all they could hear was their hearts beating wildly in their ears. Jiang Xian glanced at it quickly, and immediately scolded in his heart.
He had only climbed to seven meters on his own, and the most difficult eight-armed Arhat was only five meters tall!
As long as the orangutan-like monster waved a punch, it didn't even need to raise its hand. You can directly catch the eight-armed Arhat!
Not only him, but Hong Siniang's eyes were a little red. His hand had already grabbed the dry tobacco pouch behind his back, and if something happened, he would probably be the first to rush out.
Time seems to freeze. The orangutan's huge head looked left and right for a while, as if it couldn't be sure. Yoyo turned around.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it jumped suddenly and rushed towards the pillar where Ling Xiaozi was!
"the mud horse!!" Ling Xiaozi's soul flew out of the sky, and he was about to scream subconsciously. However, at the critical moment, he actually suppressed his instinct. At this moment, his hands loosened, and his body hung upside down with a golden hook, and then the gecko swam against the wall and actually slipped off the pillar. Stuck in the shadows of the pillars.
A series of actions flowed smoothly, making Jiang Xian and Hong Siniang retract the hands they had just raised. The three extremely nervous eyes stared at the stone pillar where Ling Xiaozi was. The heart was beating wildly in an instant, almost rushing out of the chest.
And just under the shadow of the stone pillar, Ling Xiaozi raised his head tremblingly. Look at the two giant orangutan feet above. The shivering feeling for the rest of his life made goosebumps burst all over his body, and if he did it again, he probably wouldn't be able to do that step just now.
He only felt his scalp blow up, and his hair stood on end. One hand sealed, his mouth opened and closed quickly, and he muttered silently: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable...... Sanqing Ancestor ......"
On the other side, his hand was already dusted.
The Grim Reaper was less than a meter away from him!
