Mystery Leaks

Chapter 152

"Nothing will happen during the day, right?" Cao Nan said.

I also nodded, it is impossible for these tomb robbers not to know the power of the emperor's tomb, and they dared to dig it, they must have been prepared.Digging in during the day and retreating at night, even if there is danger, the danger will be minimized.

"They can definitely carry it, but not for long." Huang Mao said.

I was skeptical and waited patiently.

After waiting, it was noon. After eating some dry food and continuing to monitor, Huang Mao carefully counted the number of tomb robbers, especially when they came out to eat at noon.

There are 67 in total, and the error will not exceed three; in other words, the number of tomb robbers working in it is about 64 to 86.Plus sixteen on perimeter security patrols.The total number is between eighty and eighty-six.

This made me secretly startled. Including the people guarding the camp at the foot of the mountain, there were a total of 100 people.

The Tomb Robber appeared, and his former subordinates were also there, but the Tomb Robber, Xu Jiaojiao, Xiaobailian and others were not found.

Moreover, these tomb robbers were not under the command of the tomb robber, but a bald middle-aged man, who was only assisting.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound on the ground, and it shook slightly.

Then I saw people running out of the cave. We couldn't hear the sound from a distance, but we could clearly see them shouting, quite panicked.

"What's the situation?" Cao Nan asked hastily.

"Either it's a landslide or an explosion!" Hu Lai said with certainty.

"The landslide must be a large-scale landslide to have this effect. They used cement and steel bars to reinforce it. It is unlikely that this will happen. It should be an explosion!" Huang Mao analyzed.

"Boom!"

Soon, there was another sound.

Then I saw tomb robbers rushing out, and some people blocked the entrance of the cave with round jars on their backs. When they came out, the jar sprayed out several fire dragons and sealed the entrance of the cave.

"Something has come out, they are burning." Cao Nan said.

"There are at least six fewer people who came out!" Huang Mao said.

"Could it be the head of the coffin?" I said, last time in the tomb of Wuming Mountain, a snake mound was found, which caused more than half of the damage.

"It's hard to say, but in every emperor's mausoleum, especially in the Qin and Han Dynasties that advocated generous burials, there will be various traps outside the main mausoleum to deal with tomb robbers." Huang Mao said.

The following thing happened suddenly, and it ended not long ago. In about three or two minutes, the fire-breathing operation ended.

The tomb robber discussed with the bald middle-aged man and greeted them, and the tomb robbers entered one after another.

Soon the flames of electric welding appeared again, and the work began.It was as if nothing had happened.

"This is a group of desperadoes. Five or six people are missing, and no one takes it seriously." Cao Nan said in surprise.

Huang Mao nodded, "Those who do this kind of work get rich, and those who die are their own destiny. They have long been prepared for it. Few of them are clean under their buttocks, and they are all desperadoes."

I nodded, as I had seen it when I was in the village.

"Wait for them to evacuate, let's go in and have a look!" Huang Mao said.

Cao Nan's face changed, and he said, "No way, it must be getting dark when they evacuate, let's go in so nothing will happen."

"Fast in and fast out, nothing will happen." Huang Mao said
……

When the sun was getting westward, the tomb robbers really started to retreat down the mountain.Before long, the huge temporary camp was empty.

"Hurry up!" Huang Mao said, leading the three of us to dive over.

Soon we arrived at the gate of the camp. It was quiet inside, and there was no one there. It was evacuated.

When we walked to the east gate, it was pitch black inside. The flashlight shone in. The bottom of the cave had been paved with cement, and the top was reinforced concrete beams.

The burned ground has been cleaned up, but there are still some traces left. Huangmao found a charred corpse in the corner. It looked a bit like a four-legged snake, but its mouth was very sharp. I didn't see anything like it. something for the eyes.

"This is the Irontail Lizard."

Hu Lai's complexion changed slightly, and he said: "They live deep in the soil all year round, and occasionally jump into waterways, forming groups, their teeth can bite through even iron, and they are invulnerable. Even big insects are afraid of them. The only one who is afraid is fire."

"It seems that those who didn't have time to run, I'm afraid there will be nothing left!" Huang Mao said, and then cautiously went inside to explore.

The three of us also picked up our flashlights and hurried to follow.I don't know if it's because of the heat absorbed by the cement. It's chilly inside. Once I went in, it was like entering the cold winter months from autumn, and I felt goosebumps all over my body.

Not long after, a pile of bloody clothes with hairs on them were found on the ground, but the body was gone.

"There are at least three dead here, and there are probably more inside." Huang Mao looked at it and said.

Sure enough, another pile was found later, and no one took care of the bloody clothes, so they left them in a corner where they didn't get in the way.

"It seems that five of them were hung up, and the only food left was clothes, blood and hair, and nothing else was left." Hu Lai said.

My scalp felt numb all of a sudden, this is a scavenger, even the bones have been gnawed off, I hurriedly scanned around with a flashlight, but I couldn't find where these things came from.

After that, we continued to walk inside, and soon reached the innermost part. The roadheader was lifted to clear the way, and the drill bit was still buried in the soil.

"Why don't you smash this thing?" Cao Nan suggested.

I looked at Huang Mao and Hu Lai. They can dig dozens of meters in a day, all thanks to this roadheader. If it crashes, it will definitely delay their progress.

"It's not necessary. You can only smash some vulnerable parts, which can be replaced. The main body can't be smashed at all, and it will expose us." Huang Mao shook his head.

Cao Nan and I looked at each other, a little helpless, thinking about it, five or six people died at once and they didn't stop, how could they stop because the equipment was damaged?

"Go out, come back tomorrow, it's getting dark, go down the mountain early!" Hu Lai said.

We said yes and headed for the exit quickly.

"Xiao Lei!"

After running for a dozen steps, suddenly, an extremely familiar call came from behind.

My whole body froze immediately, the voice was so familiar and kind.

It turned out to be grandpa's!
I instinctively turned around and used my flashlight to shine a light on it, but I didn't see anything.

"Xiao Lei!"

Then the voice came again, right where it left.

"grandfather?!"

I yelled, but no one answered me, only my own voice echoed in the cave.

"No, I've been fooled!"

I shuddered tremblingly, but at this time there was no sound from Huangmaohu coming from behind me.It stands to reason that if I stop, they will definitely stop and ask me what's going on.But at this moment, there was deathly silence behind him.

I turned around immediately, my scalp exploded, and sure enough, the person was gone.

Not only are the people gone, but even the entrance to the cave is gone.

The flashlight shined on the original exit, and the boring machine stopped there quietly, exactly the same as the one behind it.

At the bottom of the two holes, the exit is missing!

"Fuck!"

I scolded, I don't need to think about it, I know that this is a dirty thing.It seems that there are no guards here, but we cannot see those guards.

Only then did I remember that Huang Mao said that the digging of the tomb was due to the joint forces of various forces. The tomb robbers dug the soil during the day, but who would guard it at night?
Those ghosts are evil!

This is a typical ghost-sealed door!

My hairs stood on end, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

I immediately ran towards the entrance of the cave. It is impossible for there to be two bottoms of the cave, maybe it is a cover-up.When I got to the "bottom of the cave", I kicked and bumped, hoping to break the blindfold.

But it is useless at all, the bottom of the cave is completely real, and there is no way out.

After thinking about it, I hurried to the direction of the real bottom of the cave to see if I was confused. One of the two bottoms must be fake.

But when I walked up to it, I saw traces of my kicking on it.I tried it again, and it turned out that the direction of the exit was exactly the same, and even the footprints on it were my own.

I panicked and didn't know what to do.

This is the first time I have seen this kind of ghost seal with the same two ends, and it is obviously more fierce than the last time I encountered it in the tomb.

How to do?
I was about to go crazy, and I fell into such a situation when I turned around, it was terrible!

"Clatter..." Suddenly, the sound of the iron chain being dragged came from behind, very clear in the deathly silent cave, the dragging didn't stop, getting closer and closer.

I was so scared that I almost peed, something came over.

What to do, it's over!
"Clatter..." The sound of the iron chain dragging was like a life-threatening soul bell, getting closer and closer...

I hastily pulled out the mahogany sword, gritted my teeth, spat a mouthful of blood from the tip of my tongue on it, and firmly pressed against the earth wall, ready to go all out.

But my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't even hold the sword. The extreme panic made me feel as if all the strength in my body had been taken away.

Soon, a black figure wearing a pointed hat appeared in front of him, dragging a black iron chain. There were three ancient characters on the pointed hat: You are dead!
It was dressed exactly like a human being, but it walked very stiffly. What was important was that the flashlight shone through without a shadow.

It came to stand in front of me, and even said: "You are dead, come with me!"

"We have no grievances, I have done nothing, can you let me go?!" I tremblingly begged for mercy.

"The King of Hades wants you to die on the third watch, and you are not allowed to keep anyone until the fifth watch. Your lifespan is over, so come with me, so you don't suffer from flesh and blood." The iron chain ghost's voice became a little colder, it sounded like a human being, but there was no trace of it. popularity.

"Where do you want me to go?" I was puzzled.

"Go to hell!" said the iron chain ghost, as he spoke, he picked up the iron chain and straightened it, pushing towards me step by step.Only then did I realize that its hands were not human hands at all, but dry like ghost claws.

"You...don't come here!" I panicked, and immediately stretched out my mahogany sword, desperately.

But it was unmoved, and instead smiled coldly, with endless sarcasm in its smile, just like looking at an ant.

"Go to hell!"

Seeing that it was about to get close, I gritted my teeth and stabbed towards it.

But I only felt a blur in front of my eyes, and it disappeared. Immediately afterwards, an iron chain came from behind me, and a cold voice came: "If you dare to resist, you will be punished!"

"Add your uncle!"

I struggled hard and frantically stabbed with the mahogany sword with my backhand.

I don't know which hit seems to hit it, it suddenly let go of me, backed up several steps, looked at me with a changed face, frowned and said: "An ominous person?"

"Get out, I'll fight with you again!" Seeing that it worked, I immediately became more courageous, feeling my eyeballs burning, and I gritted my teeth and prepared to fight to the end.

"Then I'll take you back even more!" In the end, not only did it not intend to let me go, but excitement appeared on its face.

"roll!"

At the very moment, a very pleasant voice suddenly came from behind me, very familiar.

Looking back, it was Lu Ningxiang who was dressed in red, her face was covered with frost, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger.

"I go!"

I hid behind her immediately, savior!

When the iron chain ghost saw Lu Ningxiang, his expression changed drastically, and he said, "Who are you, how dare you stop the underworld from handling the case?!"

"If you don't leave, you will die!"

Lu Ningxiang drank coldly, and after she finished speaking, she waved her jade hand, and a gust of fierce wind swept towards the chain ghost.It couldn't resist kicking back and almost fell to the ground.

"Go down the mountain!"

Lu Ningxiang hurriedly said to me.

I was stunned for a moment, and when I turned around, I found that the earth wall behind had disappeared, and a bright spot appeared in the distance, which was the exit.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

"Quick!" Lu Ningxiang urged me anxiously.

I quickly responded, stopped staying, turned around and ran towards the exit.
