The Strongest Iron Triangle of Tomb Raiders

Chapter 391 Stone Coffin
"Third brother, fourth brother, look, there seems to be a plank road on it, and there seem to be murals on the rock wall."

"Go, have a look."

As you go up, the branches of the bronze tree become denser and denser. Just not far above, a plank road appears, and you can continue to walk up through this plank road.

After going up the plank road, the three found that there were many murals painted on the cliff on the inner wall of the plank road.

On a smooth cliff, there are also written narratives.

"Nai Nai's, this sacred bronze tree was suddenly dug up during the Qing Dynasty."

"This guy, looking at his clothes, should be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

"Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty."

"No wonder there are so many military officers of the Qing Dynasty in the hidden coffin hole outside. It turned out that they were protecting the bronze sacred tree for the emperor."

The murals describe that during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, a bronze sacred tree was found in this ancient mine.

Three thousand death row prisoners were secretly escorted to this place, and it took several years to dig out this sacred bronze tree.

These plank roads on the cliff were built for Emperor Kangxi to appreciate the bronze sacred tree.

The military officers of the Qing Dynasty who died in the coffin hole outside were to stay here and guard the bronze sacred tree for the emperor.

"So, these masks are also related to Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Who knows."

No one knows whether these mask Gu worms have anything to do with Kangxi.

But one thing is certain, these mask Gu worms are very old.

It is very likely that when Kangxi asked people to dig the bronze tree, they dug out these mask Gu insects together.

The plank roads on these cliffs are very well preserved, and there are many tree roots hanging down from them. If there is no accident, they should be close to the surface.

The roots of these tree roots were intertwined and blocked the plank road. As Ming Li walked forward, he split the tree roots blocking the road with Minghong knife.

"Second brother, third brother, be careful and pay attention to the falling rocks above your head."

Due to the invasion of tree roots, the stones above became cracked and loosened, and stones fell from the top of the head from time to time.

While walking, Ming Li reminded Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle to pay attention to the falling stones above their heads.

After walking along the plank road for a certain distance, a cliff of nearly ten meters appeared in front of it.

Standing on the cliff and looking up, you can reach the top of the bronze tree in about ten meters.

Of course, more than ten meters refers to the straight-line distance from the eyes to the top of the bronze tree. It is not so easy to really reach the top of the bronze tree.

As for the situation at the top of the bronze tree, a large group of roots hung down, covering the top of the bronze tree, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

These massive pale roots twisted together, grabbing the trunk of the bronze tree like a giant hand, as if to pull it out of hell, making people's skin crawl.

"Third brother, fourth brother, look, the roots are shrouded, like a statue."

"Have it?"

"It really looks like a statue, quite similar to the statue we saw on the cliff above the mountain crevice before."

Among the entangled roots, two bronze-like arms can be vaguely seen. It is difficult to see what the statue looks like because of the obstruction of the tree roots and the bottom-up view.

The three of them didn't continue to care about the situation at the top of the bronze tree, and decided to climb over the nearly ten-meter-wide cliff first, saying that all the mysteries will naturally be resolved after they go up.

Although this cliff is nearly ten meters wide, it is not difficult to pass it.

The tree roots hanging down from above were very strong, and the three of them quickly crossed this section of the cliff and reached the opposite bank with the help of these tree roots.

"Third brother, fourth brother, look, there are really statues on the top of the bronze tree, not one, but four."

From the position we are in now, we can see the above situation more clearly.

The top of the bronze tree should be a circular sacrificial platform, and there are bronze statues on the four sides of the sacrificial platform, but the bodies and faces of these statues are wrapped in the roots of the tree, and their appearance cannot be seen clearly.

"Second brother, fourth brother, there is no way ahead."

"Fourth brother, what should we do now?"

"It seems that we can only climb up from here."

After passing the nearly ten-meter cliff just now, and walking less than ten meters forward, I didn't expect that there was a dead end ahead.

The three had no choice but to turn back, intending to climb directly from this place to the top of the bronze tree.

Chen Yulou took out the Flying Tiger Claw and threw it upwards vigorously, and the Flying Tiger Claw was inserted precisely into a tree root hole as thick as a calf.

After a while, the three of them climbed up to the sacrificial altar one after another. The sacrificial altar was wrapped by thick tree roots hanging from above. These roots were as thick as two or three thighs combined, forming tree roots extending in all directions The hole, the bottom cannot be seen at a glance.

"what sound?"

"The sound seems to be coming from inside."

"Go, have a look."

Just as he climbed to the intertwined tree roots on the edge of the altar, before he had time to observe the surrounding situation carefully, there was a sudden sound like teeth grinding.

The three of them looked at each other, and slowly crawled towards the direction of the sound, and came to the edge of a hole formed by tree roots, from which the sound came.

When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the cave, the sound stopped abruptly, as if it had never appeared before.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, let's go in." Ming Li held the Minghong Knife and got into the hole formed by the tree roots first.

The situation inside the cave was completely different from the outside. It was very humid inside, and the skin of the roots was very soft. There were actually many unknown mushrooms growing on them. Many small insects living inside were frightened and fled in all directions.

After continuing to climb a few meters, a low space appeared in front of him, which was full of intertwined tree roots. In this low space, there was actually a huge solid sarcophagus tied by tree roots.

"Nano, there is actually a coffin."

"This place is the center of the altar. I don't know who is buried in this coffin."

This coffin is not so big, it is a circle larger than the normal coffin, it is as long as six or seven meters long, and it is not known who is buried inside, so such a big coffin is needed for burial.

The same cloud and thunder pattern as on the bronze tree is engraved on the edge of the coffin cover. The other parts of the coffin are almost grown together with the roots of the tree, and the reliefs on it are not clear.

"Second brother, fourth brother, could the person buried in this coffin be the maker of this sacred bronze tree?"

"It's possible, who knows."

It is not easy to be hungry to place such a large coffin in this place.

As for whether the maker of the bronze tree is buried in this stone coffin, who knows.

"Nanai's, the inside of the coffin seems to be empty." The lid of the coffin was opened a crack by the roots of the tree that grew inside.

Chen Yulou came to the place propped up by the tree roots, squinted his eyes and took a look inside the coffin. The space inside was very large, like an empty coffin.

"No way, let me take a look." Partridge Whistle held a phosphorescent lamp in his hand, and looked into the coffin while lying on the crack.

At this moment, the sound of grinding teeth sounded again, and the sound came from inside the stone coffin.

The sudden strange sound frightened the partridge whistle, and almost dropped the phosphorescent lamp made by grinding the dead bones into the coffin.

"Nano's, there's something inside!"

"Huh..., you startled me."

"Boom..."

Ming Li directly pushed the coffin cover away, and the situation inside was somewhat beyond the expectations of the three of them. Inside the stone coffin, there was heaven and earth.

From the outside, the stone coffin was only a little over one meter high, but the inside of the stone coffin was filled with gray mist, and it was impossible to tell exactly how deep it was.

This stone coffin is connected to the bronze tree, and the inside of the stone coffin is probably recessed into the bronze tree.

There is also the gray mist inside the stone coffin, which is so thick that even Ming Li and Chen Yulou couldn't see the situation inside the stone coffin clearly.

The strange thing that made the treading sound was probably hiding in the mist in the stone coffin.

"Fourth brother, what should we do now?" Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle looked at Ming Li.

The situation inside the stone coffin was very strange, whether to enter or not, the two waited for Ming Li to make up his mind.

"I'll go down first to find out what's going on." Hanging the flying tiger's claws on the edge of the stone coffin, Ming Li slid into the stone coffin first, holding the Minghong knife.

After sliding for about three or four meters, it reached the bottom of the stone coffin.

There was a strange thick fog all over him, and he couldn't see what was going on inside at all. When he flicked it with his hand, the fog was as thick as water, and there was a vortex of air flow visible to the naked eye.

After Ming Carp descended into the stone coffin, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle also slid down through the flying tiger claws.

"Second brother, third brother, the inside of this stone coffin is very strange, don't get separated."

After entering the interior of the stone coffin, the three of them found that there were many mural reliefs on the inner wall of the stone coffin, depicting the casting scene of the bronze tree.

These relief murals also solved the casting puzzle of the bronze tree. This bronze tree was not cast at one time, but made in sections, and finally became such a huge bronze tree.

"Tap Tat Tat..." At this moment, the strange Tattat sound sounded again.

In order to prevent the three of them from getting separated in the dense fog, and it was too late to make a move in case of danger, after entering the stone coffin, Ming Li let Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle go to the front, and he came to the back.

The strange stepping sound came from behind him, very close to him.

"Go to Nima." Ming Li slashed out without hesitation, and the thick fog was directly slashed.

However, nothing.

Could it be that there are really ghosts in this stone coffin.

Never mind, Ma De, even if there is a ghost, it's just a coward, don't let Lord Ming catch it, otherwise, let's see how he makes it.

Then, Ming Li greeted Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle and walked slowly towards the middle of the coffin chamber.

If there is a coffin in the stone coffin, the coffin must be placed in the middle of the coffin.

"Third brother, be careful!" Ming Li pulled the partridge whistle back.

"It's so dangerous, I almost fell." Partridge Whistle patted his chest with lingering fear, if Ming Li didn't hold him back, he would have fallen.

There is no coffin in the middle of the stone coffin. There is a bottomless pit in the middle of the stone coffin. Several bronze chains are tied to the bottom of the coffin, and the other end is submerged in the deep pit in the middle of the coffin.

The sarcophagus sank two meters deep into the bronze tree, and there was nothing in the coffin chamber. There was a deep pit in the middle of the coffin chamber. The real coffin was below, inside the bronze tree!
