Fu Xingchuan, who was running, made a gesture, and the heavy stone door opened in response. There was a faint light shining inside the door, and a cold wind blew from inside.
Fu Xingchuan's red flame enveloped the five people. He took the lead and was the first to rush into the stone door. Li Nian followed closely behind, and when he passed the door frame, he put away the green willow whip in his hand. The scalps of Yin Qiaoqiu and Zhong Qiaoqiu narrowly missed the roof of the cave, finally escaping the fate of hitting the threshold with their faces.
With a click, behind them, the stalagmites bite fiercely, blocking the stone door tightly.
Fu Xingchuan breathed a sigh of relief. He stopped and put Qi Xin down in his arms: "Miss Qi, are you okay?"
Ordinary people may never see such a scene with special effects in a blockbuster movie in their lifetime. Qi Xin's face was pale, and his neat bun was a little loose. The ends of her eyes were even redder, and a few strands of hair were stuck to her cheeks with sweat. It wouldn't be surprising if she cried the next second.
Fortunately, she was barely conscious.
"I'm okay." Qi Xin said firmly.
After saying this, she still didn't ask any questions. Qi Xin just stared at Fu Xingchuan with his slender eyes, as if trying to remember his appearance.
Fu Xingchuan was a little surprised when he saw such a calm crowd for the first time. He didn't break the casserole to ask the truth, but walked back to the stone door. A round ball of fire ignited in his open palm, and the stone door suddenly became bright.
The appearance of those "stalagmites" was also revealed in front of them. They were yellow-white in color and covered with thick and hard dark dirt. The dirt was brownish-red to almost black, and exuded a faint fishy odor.
Yin Ren's entire face expressed dissatisfaction. Perhaps because his gaze was too direct, Professor Li said casually: "I don't know how to perform magic, so I can pull you over at any time and protect you more easily."
Zhong Cheng said that he stretched out his hand to touch it, but the dragon skillfully bent its body and avoided Zhong Cheng's finger. He watched with regret as it wandered away, then stared at the tips of Yin Ren's hair.
Yin Ren continued to pretend to be stupid and sat down on the stone floor.
"Lao Li, please pay attention to the environmental indicators and don't let our people inject mold or poisonous gas. Miss Qi, just follow me. Just speak up when you are tired."
The passage behind the stone door is not long, and the firelight at the end is even a normal warm color, giving it a vague smell of human smoke.
He snapped his fingers with his free hand, and Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng said that the floating technique on their bodies was canceled immediately. Zhong Cheng said that he half-knelt down on the ground decently, but his clothes were not very neat. As a scientist, Zhong Cheng said that he was invulnerable to ghosts and gods, and clothes were not immune to the levitation technique. He was basically being carried around by clothes that had a levitating effect on him. His shirt was in a mess, with a section of his waist hanging out.
Fu Xingchuan walked in the front as usual, his flame shield turning into two thigh-thick fire dragons. They bend their long bodies to protect the group of people. The scales of the little dragon were clear in the firelight, and its eyes turned around alertly, as if it were a living thing.
It's not enough to prevent them from backstabbing, Yin Ren muttered in his heart.
Very much like teeth.
Could it be that a thousand years of evil has taken away the peach blossoms and overdrawn all the remaining luck
He glanced at Zhong Cheng from the corner of his eyes, and his eyes met Zhong Cheng's eyes. In the dim cave, the black eyes were without any luster. The man arranged his clothes step by step, and soon his eyes drifted over, making Yin Ren's cheeks itch.
They bite tightly, blocking the stone door airtight.
Yin Ren scratched the side of his face with satisfaction.
Seeing Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng telling him to slow down, Fu Xingchuan gave straightforward instructions: "If everything is fine, go inside first. There is wind inside, and there must be a way to the outside world. As long as I find a crack, I can blast a way out. ”
I have to say that Lord Ghost King's appearance is very advantageous. Yin Ren's movements are so embarrassing, but the face with winding black hair still makes the whole scene pleasing to the eye.
Fu Xingchuan made a long silence, and the fire ball in his hand jumped twice: "The mechanism here is interesting."
Qi Xin nodded.
This time, Yin Ren failed to look into his eyes with "congeniality".
One hand was tied up with a wicker whip, making it difficult for him to move freely. Zhong Cheng frowned a little as he spoke.
There were no such stalagmite teeth growing inside the stone gate, so they were barely safe. Professor Li did not let go of the green willow whip. The green willow sticks were still wrapped around the wrists of Zhong Chengshuo and Yin Ren, tightening the two of them like shackles on one side. At best, the scene was like escorting a prisoner; at worst, it was like walking a dog.
It's a pity that everyone present, except for Zhong Cheng who said he was very serious about watching, the others were not bewitched at all.
But they were indeed unreasonable - this unfortunate accident was really caused by them, and Yin Ren was in a daze. Since entering Shi'an, he has never encountered a "smooth" case.
Yin Ren smelled the smell of corpses.
Very many, very old bodies. They lay at the end of the tunnel, waiting for them. The faint smell was sent out by the living wind, wrapping them like a veil of corpses.
There is nothing wrong with the corpse itself. Many ancient burial pits will have this smell of old corpses. The problem is that those corpses are mixed with strong or weak evil forces. They are mixed in the smell, turning the faint corpse smell into It was extremely cold.
What's worse is that the power of those evil spirits does not come from the same evil spirit.
Fu Xingchuan probably also noticed something was wrong, and he walked slower.
The appearance of the strong man Shi'an remained unchanged, but Yin Ren could feel the surge of the man's power - like a beast hiding behind the bushes, Fu Xingchuan was ready to throw a fatal blow at any time.
The Shimen Tunnel is not long, but Yin Ren feels like they have been lingering in it for ten thousand years.
Finally, they stepped into the light at the end of the tunnel.
They were inside a building, which was extremely old and had everlasting lamps burning on the walls. The lights swayed gently in the wind, illuminating the surrounding scene—
Qi Xin took two steps back and covered his mouth and nose. She froze in place blankly, looking like she didn't know whether she should vomit or not.
This building is spacious and gorgeous, with mottled murals and a typical Gong Dynasty style. Most of the mural is hidden in the shadows, and in the parts illuminated by the fire, you can vaguely see the entangled figures of people and evil things. I don’t know what the ingredients of the vermilion pigment are, but after thousands of years, it is still so bright that it is dazzling.
There is an empty altar in the center of the room. It is painted in the same red as the murals and is so bright that it is out of place here. It can be seen that what was originally placed above was later moved away.
But there is still a lot of "stuff" that has not been removed.
For example, those extremely distorted mummies were wrapped in chains and spells on the wall. They are chained to the wall, almost blending in with the distorted murals. Yin Ren knew that those corpses belonged to humans, but he only judged them based on their smell.
Just looking at the appearance of those things, it is difficult to classify them as "human".
The body closest to them was more than two meters high. The corpse's shoulders were bent and folded, making the man's armpits and hip bones almost flush, his arms and legs the same length, and the whole person turned into a comb with only four teeth.
The man's head was embedded in the middle of his arched upper body, and his mouth was abnormally enlarged, almost penetrating his chest. Above the huge mouth, there are only two human eyes standing upright. They shrink to the size of a thumbnail and are difficult to spot without looking carefully.
His or her withered arms stretch toward the altar, and the deformed mouth opens wide, revealing teeth as big as a child's fist. I don't know if he was screaming or cursing.
And this is just the most "normal" one among them.
Beside it, another corpse's head was swollen to the size of its torso, and its facial features were all over it. A little further away, the skin of the corpse is extremely proliferated, wrapping the person in layers in the center, like a flower of dried flesh.
Their appearance is too bizarre. When ordinary people see it, it takes a while to figure out what it is before they realize that the corpse is scary.
No one in Shi'an spoke for a moment.
Half a minute later, Zhong Cheng said he took out his mobile phone and backpack and coughed lightly: "Can I take pictures and take samples?"
Yin Ren could hear that he was trying very hard to suppress the expectation in his voice, but unfortunately he was not very successful.
Zhong Cheng said it was not like he had entered an underground monument full of strange corpses. His excitement was like that of a five-year-old child visiting a candy store.
Fu Xingchuan looked at Zhong Cheng and said, "...you take the picture."
"Except for corpses, don't touch anything else." Before Fu Xingchuan finished speaking, Li Nian continued, "This building is from the Gong Dynasty. It is quite well preserved. The murals and stone carvings are all important cultural relics."
Fu Xingchuan looked at his partner with even more words. He exhaled slowly and summoned a dozen more fire dragons.
"Let me look around," he said casually.
Minister Fu’s tone was understated, and the scene of performing the surgery was grand—
More than a dozen fire dragons stretched their bodies and crawled out through the doors and windows of the building. They circled around the building, and the flames burned like the sun, illuminating the dark underground into a bloody dusk.
At the same time, Fu Xingchuan crossed his arms, and a water curtain was reflected under the dome of the building, creating a miniature mirage in an instant.
The scenes around the fire dragons were shrunk one by one on the water curtain.
Looking out from the huge doors and windows of the building, the outside is still a door, and the outside is still a window. Buildings of different dynasty styles stack up and overlap, making this place look like an entire mixed insect nest.
The air in the fire dragon belt was a little warmer, and under the baking, the smell of corpses came from all directions.
Fu Xingchuan was silent for a long time as he washed the scene on the water screen, activating the single-sided earphone.
"Lu Xiaohe, pick up Hao Wence."
He chuckled.
"Things got a little exciting, we found the largest 'anthill' yet."
Lu Xiaohe: "..."
Lu Xiaohe: "...ant nest?"
As for the snake-eating that was promised, the development of this execution mission is simply getting more and more outrageous.
"That boy Xiang Jiang, the investigation was not done well. Did the Sinking Society use the mine to raise evil creatures?... We thought this was the Sinking Society's dog cage, but it turned out that it was just a guard puppy, and the hard food was still behind. "
A fire dragon circled Fu Xingchuan, and his red shirt was reflected so brightly that it almost burned. Li Nian clicked his tongue very loudly and tightened the green willow whip in his hand. Zhong Cheng said that he was carefully slicing the corpse when he was pulled by a long wicker and almost cut his own hand.
"What is an 'ant nest'?" Yin Ren asked knowingly.
"The Sinking Club is a very old organization. You must have learned about it."
Fu Xingchuan scratched the stubble on his chin.
"They also have their own research institution. Previously, Huajisi, um, Shi'an's predecessor was closely traced, and the hiding places they could find were limited. In addition, some 'research materials' were difficult to transfer. After a research building was scrapped, they A new one will be built next to the building... They call this research complex an 'ant nest'."
"To ensure data security, an 'anthill' will only have one research topic. If it is not exposed for a long time, it will develop into what you see."
Above the water curtain, layers of buildings blend with each other, making it countless times more "busy" than the mountain towns on the ground. Although it has been abandoned for thousands of years, the ever-burning lights in the building have not been extinguished for a long time. In the chaotic darkness, it looked like a giant beast with countless eyes.
Yin Ren pointed out: "Since this is a test site that will be sunk and abandoned, shouldn't they protect it well?"
Although with Fu Xingchuan's level, there is a high probability that he will not be needed to induce him.
Sure enough, Fu Xingchuan gave him a meaningful look: "The experimental building is difficult to build. They abandoned it because there must be some kind of 'danger' here. As for what kind of danger it is, it depends on the research theme of this damn place."
The Sinking Club did not deliberately hide this ant nest, and since the Gong Dynasty, this ant nest has not been discovered by Huajisi for thousands of years.
This can only mean one thing - no "righteous person" who has seen this anthill will live to tell the news.
