Tomb Raider: Invincible Double Pupil, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 348 Tragic Death
"What's the meaning?!"

Fatty Wang and Zhang Rishan were both genuinely shocked.

Xu Feng continued, "According to what Mr. Zheng said, the last time they came in here, they didn't bring many people with them, only a hundred or so. But there must be more than a hundred people on this mountain of bones."

"Have you ever thought about this, if my guess is correct, since the descendants of the Xiangxi Gu King can build a fake tomb door..."

"So, every time someone breaks into this place, they are brutally killed by the poisonous insects, and then their bodies are piled up among these bones. Then they continue to build a fake tomb door!"

Hearing this, Fatty Wang took a breath of cold air.

"This way, those who want to enter the tomb will never be able to do so!"

If everything is really as Xu Feng guessed, it is indeed a very good idea.

For the Xiangxi Gu King, it would ensure that his tomb would be preserved for generations to come.
However, such a huge process not only requires the descendants of the Xiangxi Gu King to guard it for their entire lives from generation to generation, but also requires them to possess extremely powerful insect Gu breeding technology.

even.….
And the ability to control poisonous insects!

Once someone dared to break into the tomb and destroy the fake tomb door, they would pile up the bodies of those killed by the poisonous insects in one place.

Then a fake tomb door was made to prevent subsequent tomb robbers from coming here.

“This is really weird…”

"The cost of this matter is extremely huge, and it is a cost that spans generations..."

Fatty Wang felt very much like a policeman.

Zhang Rishan was also confused.

Although they had heard what Xu Feng said, the two of them remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

After a long while, Fatty Wang said, "But how can this Xiangxi Gu King be so sure that his descendants will stay in this place generation after generation and guard his tomb?"

Xu Feng could only answer: "Perhaps, it is the order of their ancestors, and they cannot disobey it!"

This is simply an unbelievable thing.

Zhang Rishan couldn't help but say, "Yes, aren't the descendants of the Xiangxi Gu King too rigid? So many years have passed, do they still have to follow the teachings of their ancestors?"

Fatty Wang then interjected, "What era is it now? These people are still so pedantic."

At this time, all the other people also came over one after another, and gradually, they heard what the three people were talking about.

but!

Everyone finds it hard to believe this...
Just when everyone was talking and at a loss, Fatty Wang once again circled around the hill of bones.

Soon, he discovered a phenomenon.

Suddenly, the fat man raised his head and shouted in surprise: "Oh my God, I think what Master Xiao Xu said is absolutely right. These people who died here must have died in this place at different times."

Hearing this, Zhang Rishan immediately walked over: "What's wrong?!"

"Hey Fatty, what did you find out that you are so surprised?!"

The fat man pointed at the bottom of the bones and said, "Look. Through the gaps between the bones, the bones at the bottom have actually turned black. Do you see that?"

Hearing this, Zhang Rishan looked in the direction of the fat man's finger and saw that it was true.

The bones inside looked very rotten and black.

Obviously, it has existed in this place for many years... Then they looked upwards, and indeed they discovered a pattern. The higher up they went, the more white bones appeared on the outside, and it seemed that they were produced closer to the present. They looked like they had just decayed not long ago, and the bones were still relatively white.

As for the rest of the bones, the ones in the middle and inside, seemed to be almost turned into slag. They must have been here for many years!

It is indeed consistent with the situation that Xu Feng guessed...
Once someone dies in this place, they will be piled up here.

If someone else enters and is killed by the poisonous insects, new corpses will be covered outside again.

Therefore, layer by layer, a small hill like this was gradually formed.

After thinking about this, everyone felt a chill on their backs, and even the temperature around them seemed to drop suddenly.

The fat man felt goose bumps all over his body and couldn't help but stand up.

He walked in front of Xu Feng and said, "Young Master Xu, I think what you said is very likely correct!"

Zhang Rishan also followed immediately: "Not only that, I'm afraid that the last time Mr. Zheng came here, so many people died tragically, and this is not the first wave of people who died in this place."

Everyone has realized that Xu Feng’s guess is most likely the only fact.

Before the old man of the Xu family entered this tomb, perhaps many people had entered here over the past thousands of years, and were then ruthlessly killed by the poisonous insects and piled up into a small hill.

Finally turned into bones...
The old man of the Zheng family was just one of a small group of tomb robbers who entered the tomb of the King of Gu in western Hunan in the long river of history.

In fact, before Mr. Zheng, there must have been more people who came here and tried to rob the tomb, but unfortunately died here.

And in the decades after Old Man Zheng left, perhaps someone else had entered this place.

As for them at this moment, they are just the latest group of people to enter the tomb of the Xiangxi Gu King...
Then the fat man turned around and found that on the other side of the hill of bones, slightly above it, there were several corpses that seemed to have died not long ago.

The fat man was very surprised when he saw it. He pointed at the corpses and shouted excitedly: "Look quickly. Look quickly!"

I felt as if I had discovered a treasure and was very excited.

Xu Feng and Zhang Rishan immediately walked over and looked in the direction Fatty Wang pointed.

But all he saw were several corpses, still covered in flesh and blood, piled up on top.

Xu Feng immediately thought of the tunnel that appeared when they just came in.

The tunnel was clearly dug not long ago, perhaps only a few months ago.

They didn't think much at the time and entered the tomb through the tunnel.

Xu Feng originally thought that they might meet the group of people who dug the hole in this tomb, and might even become their enemy and have a battle with them.

But he never expected that these people might have died in this place long before he came in.

Of course, the way they died was probably the same as their predecessors. In order to forcibly open this fake wooden door, they used some method to carve out the tomb door.

It could have been hammered, it could have been burned, or it could have been like them, using explosives.

However, no matter what method is used, the result is the same.

After the tomb door was destroyed, the poisonous insects were released and then they were all killed!

Xu Feng looked up and observed the bodies very carefully.

These bodies had indeed died about a few months ago, and were covered in blood and had already begun to rot.

There is still some difference between it and the corpses next to it.
