Looking up at the top of the cemetery, a dazzling light illuminated my eyes and I couldn't open them at all.

It is not customary to install lighting facilities in most tombs. After the coffin is put in, the soil is sealed and backfilled, so it is useless to have lights.

Even if lampstands and other objects are unearthed from the funerary objects, they are just a kind of sustenance that "death is like life."

Things like everlasting lamps are even rarer.

Lin Yi has also experienced a lot of situations like building tombs in mountains.

Even if there is lighting equipment, it was only used by the craftsmen who built the mausoleum. It was abandoned after the mausoleum was built.

This was the first time he had encountered this situation.

The owner of the tomb took the initiative to build a huge light source in the center of the tomb chamber, for fear that those who would fight would not be able to see clearly if they came in?

Obviously there is an ulterior motive.

Before he could find any strong evidence, he felt a trembling sensation under his feet, as if something was trying to erupt from the ground.

"earthquake?"

"It's not going to be an earthquake, right? We're in the mountains. If there's an earthquake, it'll be all over!"

Everyone suddenly panicked, especially Guo, Ma and others, who had never experienced this state before, and suddenly started running around like headless flies.

This is the number one taboo of "going to the ground".

Once you arrive at the cemetery, there are dangers everywhere, and everything is still unknown. If someone runs around so recklessly, it is very likely that everyone will be killed.

"Can you guys stop fucking around? This place is full of traps. If you want to die, don't take me with you!"

Wang Qiang was yelling and cursing, wishing that he had a machine gun in his hand now and would kill all these bastards.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Wenhai turned around and tried to run back. Suddenly, the soil under his feet rose into the sky, and a pillar of fire as thick as the mouth of a sea bowl emerged from the ground.

"Mr. Ma, be careful!"

Seeing that the "Fire Dragon Pillar" was about to engulf him, A Biao flew over desperately and pushed Ma Wenhai out of the attack range of the fire dragon pillar.

But he himself was completely engulfed by the pillar of fire rising into the sky. In an instant, his whole body was ignited and he turned into a burning man.

"Ah~~"

A Biao let out a painful howl from his mouth. Ma Wenhai collapsed on the ground at this moment. Looking at his bodyguard being burned like this, he grinned and shouted:

"Save people, save people, you are saving people! A Biao, A Biao!"

In A Biao's situation, the people around him didn't know how to rescue him, and they didn't bring fire-fighting equipment.

Seeing him covered in fire, he was rolling on the ground in the area in front of the platform, making "ho ho ho" sounds from his mouth. Unexpectedly, another burst of flames shot out from underneath him, and A Biao was thrown into the air, and he fell heavily. Come down, then stop moving completely.

"A Biao! A Biao!"

No matter how loud Ma Wenhai shouted, A Biao would never respond.

"I killed you, A Biao!"

The bodyguard who had been with him through life and death died suddenly and was burned alive in front of his eyes. Ma Wenhai completely collapsed on the ground, his eyes were dull, and he was muttering A Biao's name.

When Guo Wenbin saw this, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​​​escape and stood there honestly without daring to move.

"Everyone, please pay attention. The noise just now is not like an earthquake. It should be the noise caused by some kind of mechanism or trap being activated."

"A trap? Are you saying that the flames that came out of the ground just now were a trap?"

Old Feng had an expression of disbelief on his face.

He had just come out from the shadow of A Biao being burned alive. Even Lao Jianghu, who had seen the world, could not help but feel frightened when he saw a living person in front of him being burned into a black charcoal in an instant. "No. How can this thing be a trap?"

Lin Yi knelt down and reached out to touch the hot ground.

"Helan Mountain is extremely rich in natural gas and coal resources. If I guess correctly, there must be an extremely sophisticated linkage mechanism hidden underground. Once someone triggers it, it will immediately cause a deflagration."

"No, it's true that there is natural gas and coal in the Helan Mountains, but who will light the fire?"

"This fire should never be extinguished."

Bai Lu interjected.

While Lao Feng was at a loss, he did not forget to glance at the man wearing red robes and sunglasses with the corner of his eyes.

This guy was obviously also listening to Lin Yi's analysis with his ears pricked up.

“In areas rich in natural gas and coal reserves, a phenomenon called ‘ground fire’ often occurs.

There are two reasons for this. One is that natural gas overflows from the rock formations here. After encountering a fire source, it will continue to burn until the natural gas in the middle of the rock formations is exhausted.

Another situation is that coal stored underground has a low ignition point because it has existed for a long time. Once it comes into contact with air, it will oxidize and dissipate heat, which will cause spontaneous combustion. "

As a native of Xingqing Prefecture and someone who also dealt with the mining industry, Guo Wenbin immediately understood the meaning of Bai Lu's words.

This kind of "ground fire" phenomenon is very common in coal mining. Once discovered during the mining process, water must be poured to cool down and extinguish the fire.

So after Bai Lu said it, he immediately understood the meaning.

"Then how is this trap triggered? Even if it is like a landmine, there must be a triggering mechanism, right?"

"It's just weight."

Huzi replied from the side.

He had been a mercenary before and had been on the battlefield, so he knew a lot about things like landmines.

"Maybe it's the weight, maybe it's the light and shadow."

Lin Yi cast his gaze on the shadow on the ground.

Everyone suddenly became nervous.

"Boss Lin, please don't scare me. I can throw away other things, but I can't throw away this shadow no matter what!"

Guo Wenbin cried with a sad face.

Under the light source above the head, everyone has a shadow. As Guo Wenbin said, shadows cannot be discarded.

"This is exactly the ingenuity of the person who designed this mechanism. He knew that the shadow could not be discarded. That's why he used it as an inducement to trigger the mechanism."

"Damn it, I'll fuck you to death!"

When Ma Wenhai heard that the trouble was caused by the light source above, he pulled out his gun and shot it into the sky, trying to destroy the light source.

After a gunshot, Wang Qiang immediately picked up the engineer shovel in his backpack and threw it at him with all his strength.

The shovel hit Ma Wenhai squarely on the head. As soon as the guy cursed half a sentence, he lay on the ground and fainted.

"Don't you know that stray bullets can cause accidental injuries? Not only does this mallet kill one of your own, but you also have to hold me back!"

Ma Wenhai finally stopped.

But the remaining people could only stand where they were, not daring to move, for fear that their shadows would cause explosions underground.

This situation was unexpected by the man in sunglasses. He had just released the paper man to inquire about the news. Unexpectedly, the mechanism here was a brand new version that he had never experienced before. (End of chapter)
