The tomb that Ji Thrush and the others are currently in is not too small. It is square enough to be 30 square meters, and there are many Ming vessels piled up around it. iron or silver.
The tomb was well sealed, and even after a thousand years, the metal vessels in the tomb were still well preserved.
Dong Jing picked up a wine glass and took a closer look in front of him. Under the gray, black and green copper rust, the delicate thunder pattern around the base is still clearly visible. Treasures denominated in gold.
It's just that the tomb was sealed so well that everyone felt a little panicked after only coming down for five minutes.
But they had no time or energy to wait for the vault to be ventilated.
Fortunately, both Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo were participants from "Peach Blossom Spring", and they were well prepared before entering the "World" with SS-level difficulty.
Both of them exchanged for a full set of battlefield necessities, which of course also included chemical defense supplies.
They pieced it all together, and actually got together four sets of gas masks.
With the help of Ji Thrush, Dong Jing put on the mask, looked around curiously through the two eyepiece glasses, and couldn't help but ask:
"Speaking of which, I'm really curious about the inheritance of the two of you."
He said:
"These weird little gadgets in your hands look like the Mohist's organ hagans."
The second young master of the Dong family said, and then glanced at Ren Jianmo, "But your brother's supernatural powers are more like those of the Taoist sect...but you are so good at fighting!"
He said and shook his head:
"Oh, forgive me for my shallow knowledge, I really can't figure out the origin of the two of you!"
"never mind."
Ji Thrush reached out and hooked the young man's shoulder, "It's not important, the important thing is that we have to find your 10,000 elite soldiers as soon as possible!"
Dong Jing knew that Ji Thrush meant that he didn't want to elaborate, and thought that this might be the school's rules, so he wisely stopped asking.
At this time, Ren Jianmo also urged:
"The mask can only last for an hour, let's go, don't waste time."
So everyone left the tomb through the only exit.
Outside the door is a deep corridor.
The corridor was very narrow and the height of the ceiling was also low. Ren Jianmo, who was 1.88 meters tall, couldn't even stand up straight, and could only walk forward in an awkward posture with his waist slightly bent.
There is no lighting in the passage, and outside the range of the rainy night light, it is pitch black that can't be seen at a glance.
Ren Jianmo fiddled with his "freedom of one cubic meter" for a while, and raised his hands, and two glistening blue lights flew out, hanging in mid-air like two will-o'-the-wisps, illuminating them. Light up a small area in front of you.
Ji Thrush was taken aback for a moment, but after seeing clearly what the two "wisps" were, he couldn't help but secretly said "smart".
What Ren Jianmo released were two paper figurines - Onmyoji Shikigami (advanced).
Earlier, Ji Thrush exchanged 8,000 points for a stack of Onmyoji Shikigami (advanced) from the boss of Qinxuehui, and shared them equally with his companions, each of them got a dozen.
Now Ren Jianmo didn't know what kind of fluorescent material he had painted on the paper figurines, and let them fly ahead like two fluorescent lamps, which could be used for lighting and help find the way. It was indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
So the four of them led ten zombies, followed the two small paper figurines, and walked through the narrow corridor step by step.
The first part of the road was uneventful.
The corridor is long and narrow, dark, except for the sound of people's footsteps and clothes rubbing against each other, there is no slightest noise.
A group of people walked along the corridor and passed two tomb chambers, each of which piled up some funeral objects such as boxes, cages and utensils, but none of them were real tomb robbers, and they were not interested in the ancient artifacts, so they only looked outside the tomb At a glance, after realizing that there was no buried soldier he was looking for, he immediately turned his head and left.
After passing the third tomb, the corridor also came to an end.
Or to be more precise, the corridor is divided into two here, and the T-shaped points to the left and right in two diametrically opposite directions.
Regardless of whether it is left or right, they are equally wide and narrow, equally dark, and equally do not know where to lead.
Ji Xiaoniao poked the second young master of the Dong family in the waist and eyes with his elbow, "How about it, do you have the blueprint of the underground palace of this ancient tomb left at home?"
Dong Jing looked very embarrassed.
Indeed, the ancestors of the Dong family who participated in the design and construction of the mausoleum thousands of years ago left some structural drawings of the underground palace, but they were not complete. With the changes of the years, some blueprints have been lost, or defaced beyond recognition. The second young master of the Dong family can't really hope that the map he brought can give them much instructions.
"Then we have only two options."
Ji Thrush spread his hands, "Either choose one of the two to try your luck, or split up and take each side."
Dong Jing frowned.
In an astonishingly large ancient tomb of the former dynasty, he really felt that it was not a wise decision to move separately, and if he encountered a fork in the road, he would have to separate. With just a few of them, they couldn't go far.
But let him choose one of the two purely by chance...
The second young master of the Dong family gritted his teeth silently.
——The "mask" on his face that allows him to breathe freely can only last for a while, and there is no room for them to make mistakes.
Thinking of this, Dong Jing turned his attention to the witch Irina.
"I said… "
The boy lowered his eyes and tugged at his braid reluctantly.
"Do you have a way to figure out which direction the funeral army we're looking for is in?"
After hearing Ji Thrush relay Dong Jing's request, Yi Lianna did not answer immediately, but turned her head to think seriously.
Moments later, she took off her oxygen mask.
The air in the tomb passage is stagnant and turbid. People who stay in it for a long time are prone to hypoxia, but fortunately, there is no poisonous gas, and it will not endanger life for a while.
Like a red-haired statue, the girl stood in the corridor with her eyes closed, her head raised slightly, her palms spread flat by her side, and she chanted some incomprehensible language in a low voice.
"It's too closed in here..."
Elena said in a low voice:
"The wind elves are very weak and can barely respond to my voice."
As she spoke, she took out a thin stick as long as her little finger from her belt.
It was a kind of psychic potion that the little witch made by hand on the way - the incense was obtained by mixing wormwood leaves and calamus roots in a certain proportion, kneading them into strips and drying them in the sun.
The girl lit the incense, and a thin, scented white smoke curled up into the air.
To Ji Thrush's surprise, the smoke didn't go to a high place, but turned suddenly in mid-air, and drifted straight to the fork on the right.
"here."
Elena extinguished the incense, put on the mask again, and pointed to the right:
"The wind spirit said, go over there."
&&& &&& &&&
So everyone followed Elena's instructions and walked to the corridor on the right.
However, the zombie walking in the front only advanced less than twenty steps before falling to the ground without a sound.
"Danger!"
Without saying a word, Ji Thrush jumped to the side, hugged Elena and rolled into the corner.
On the other hand, Ren Jianmo reached out and grabbed the collar of the second young master of the Dong family, and with a strong tug, dragged him to the foot of the wall.
At the same time as the girl was screaming, Ji Thrush heard countless crackling winds.
He was protecting Elena, and almost his whole body was glued to the wall of the tunnel. Twenty or thirty arrows brushed against their toes and nailed into the ground, each of which was deeply wedged into the soil.
The continuous sound of machine expansion and the clang of arrows falling to the ground lasted for half a minute.
When the sound stopped, except for Ji Thrush and the other four living people, all ten zombies had been shot down to the ground by the rain of arrows just now.
Ji thrush broke out in a cold sweat.
When he was reading tomb robbery novels, he felt that no matter how powerful the traps described in the book were, they were nothing more than dead objects. As long as he was careful enough and reacted quickly, it shouldn't be difficult to crack them.
However, when he encountered it in person, he realized that the triggering of these organs was so unexpected and so unexpected. If it weren't for his dynamic vision, he might not have escaped the same fate as the living corpses, and now he has turned into a hedgehog.
No one dares to act presumptuously.
Ji Thrush protected Elena, Ren Jianmo grabbed Dong Jing, and the four of them waited for a while until there was no second round of crossbow arrows shot, and then cautiously and tentatively returned to the corridor.
The ten corpses were full of arrows. If they hadn't been dead for many days, they would have turned into blood gourds.
But fortunately, the rain of arrows was still not enough to kill the living corpses. The scattered arrows all over the body had no effect other than making them move slower.
It's just that after being frightened, the few people no longer dare to underestimate the trap in the tomb.
Ren Jianmo released a few more paper figurines with luminescent materials on their bodies to make the lighting range wider, while the second young master of the Dong family divided the ten zombies into two groups. A group of guards guarded and protected at the end of the team.
They walked lightly, walked through the corridor densely covered with arrows, and continued to move forward.
At the end of this corridor is a rectangular tomb.
It is said that it is a tomb, but it is not always the case.
The short side of the room is less than four meters, but the long side is very wide. Ji Thrush roughly estimated that it must be close to twenty meters. On the opposite side of the room was a boxy door leading to another corridor.
Such a structure makes this rectangular tomb look more like a spacious corridor.
There are no cages and utensils that they have seen before, but a row of terracotta warriors that are the same height as a real person stand in each corner of the room.
At first, Dong Jing thought they were human sacrifices, so he ran over to check them excitedly.
But when he lifted the helmet that was used to cover the face of one of the terracotta warriors, he realized that they were all realistically made terracotta warriors.
Since it is not a material that can be made into a zombie, the second young master of the Dong family is naturally not interested.
He threw the helmet mask he took off on the ground, and turned around to return to the team.
However, in the next second, Dong Jing heard a very soft "click" sound from the terracotta figurine behind him.
He turned around abruptly, and saw that there was a long and narrow crack on the face of the terracotta figurine whose helmet he had just lifted off!
