People check in and punch cards in tomb robbery

Chapter 183
Chen Yulou has a deep and restrained personality, sometimes cautious and sometimes aggressive, it is difficult for others to guess his thoughts.

Just like right now, knowing that there is an arrow array set up in the ancient city, seven or eight of his men died in an instant, but he still ordered the team to charge forward.

Luo Laowai was very puzzled, and opened his mouth to ask the reason, but he swallowed the words that came to his lips when he thought of the repeated promises before going to the tomb.

Instead, he made a wish, and a flash of praise flashed in his eyes.

Although the mechanisms set up in the ancient tomb are exquisite and unparalleled, and they are triggered instantly after so many years, they are not artificial after all. After a round of arrows is shot, there must be some gap time when changing arrows.

And Chen Yulou wanted to seize this time difference, rush into the ancient city in one go.

This is also where he is experienced.

For an ordinary person, I am afraid that the first thing that comes to mind right now is to retreat.

However, in desperation, everyone must be in a panic, and the passage behind is narrow and dark, and it is extremely crowded. When the second round of arrows breaks through the air, the casualties will only be greater, so Chen Yulou let everyone continue to move forward.

Chen Yulou had a very high prestige among the bandits in Xiling. Now that they heard his order, the people in the front row did not hesitate, but immediately raised the rattan grass shield in their hands, and stepped forward cautiously.

This kind of rattan spleen grass shield is extremely solid, with a layer of cotton wool soaked in water on the outside and inside, and a layer of mud is sandwiched in the hollow of the shield.

It does not burn when exposed to fire, does not penetrate arrows, and cannot penetrate even venom.

The others followed closely behind the gang of thieves, and also rushed forward quickly.

Stepping on the dry bones all over the ground, the crowd quickly approached the city, and as soon as they reached the bottom of the city gate, there was another sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Countless arrows, densely packed like clouds, shot out from the top of everyone's heads.

"Chen is very calculating."

Luo Laowai couldn't see where he could not understand at the moment, he only felt that Chen Yulou really did not miss anything.

"Shut up Luo Shuai, we don't know what's going on in the city yet, so don't act rashly."

Chen Yulou just shook his head, and told Luo Laowai.

It is not a long-term solution for everyone to gather outside the city gate. They have to enter the city, but they are blind to the situation in the city. At this moment, they must send a few daredevils to explore the way inside the city.

At a time like this, entering the city in the dark would undoubtedly bet one's entire wealth and life.

But among the bandits in Xiling, there were still some who were not afraid of death. Five or six stood up immediately, put on rattan grass shields and self-defense weapons, and walked carefully towards the city.

At the beginning, footsteps could still be heard, but gradually, it became silent inside.

The people waiting outside felt their hearts beating like thunder, and they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing something.

It seemed like a quarter of an hour had passed.

The footsteps sounded again.

Five or six thieves left and returned, and no one was injured according to the situation.

"How about it?"

"Return to the shopkeeper, the ancient city was built in the middle of the mountain, and there is a poisonous miasma, but it can be tolerated with a face towel. Other than that, there is no abnormality in the city, and there are no poisonous insects in the mechanism."

"By the way, there is a sarcophagus in the center of the city, and there are several black lacquered coffins around it. There are many stone men and beasts standing beside it, and there are bones all over the floor."

A few guys, you say a word to me.

Although what was said was messy, it finally told [-]% to [-]% of the situation inside.

"The coffin? Are you sure you have seen it clearly?"

As soon as Luo Laowai heard the word "coffin", he was immediately elated, rubbed his hands vigorously, and his eyes were shining.

It looked exactly like Fatty Wang.

"Brother Chen, it seems that the one released in the city must be the owner of the tomb?"

"There is a main coffin and a funeral coffin, which is somewhat similar to the rumors, but Luo Shuai, it's better not to think about things like fighting too simply, otherwise accidents will easily happen."

After all, Chen Yulou is an insider.

To put it bluntly, there may be more tombs robbed than women Luo Laowai slept with.

The doorways and methods here are often impossible to guard against.

And one more thing.

Yuan people and tomb robbers have been sworn enemies since ancient times.

This is a life-and-death confrontation between the living and the dead.

Because it will not end well if it falls into anyone's hands.

Generally speaking, if the corpse of the owner of the tomb falls into the hands of tomb robbers, they will be thrown out of the wilderness, scraping jade to find pearls, or even throwing ashes and bones.

In the ancient tombs of the Yuan Dynasty, there are generally countless traps set up, the style is extremely sinister and vicious, mostly fire formations, quicksand, boulders and arrows.

There is no mercy.

Once the two sides meet, it will be an endless duel.

Chen Yulou stole many Yuan Dynasty tombs, and lost countless brothers. Several arrow wounds on his body were also thanks to him.

Although this Pingshan ancient tomb was originally a Taoist alchemy place, after it was occupied by Yuan people and built into an ancient tomb, there must be countless hidden secret formations hidden in it, so we must be cautious.

And the most important point is that the people of Yuan Dynasty have the saying of moving corpses, which is similar to Cao Cao's 72 suspects, creating false appearances to lure tomb robbers into the trap, and then triggering agencies to catch them all.

Although this ancient city also has an arrow array, but he still has a vague feeling in his heart, is it too simple?

All the way down, it seems too smooth.

An ancient tomb that has been unable to be stolen for hundreds of years is so close at hand?
However, he was just pondering this idea in his heart, he didn't say it bluntly, he just asked everyone to be careful, and specially left half of the people outside to respond.

After making full preparations, the group passed through the city gate and walked towards the sarcophagus that the thieves mentioned.

The surroundings of the city were dark and empty, and it was eerily quiet. In the darkness, only the cracking sound of people stepping on the bones could be heard.

"Be careful, something doesn't seem right here."

Wishing held a miner's lamp in his hand, but the light couldn't penetrate the surrounding fog, as if some monster there swallowed the light.

Glancing at the red girl beside him, he lowered his voice to remind.

The red girl nodded, took out a few darts and hid them in the palm of her hand, carefully staring around.

soon.

A group of people approached the coffins.

Except for the sarcophagus in the middle, there are five lacquered coffins around it, and there are countless colorful paintings all around.

Most of them are Ganoderma lucidum, Cranes and Songshan Mountains in the Sea of ​​Clouds, and there are also some celestial beings who are ecstatic.

"Chen Botou, isn't this the style of Yuan Tomb?"

Although Luo Laowai didn't learn any orthodox arts, he still had some good eyesight. He was staring at those painted paintings at the moment, feeling indescribably weird in his heart.

"No, it should be the slough of a Taoist."

The body of a person who has attained the Tao is called a slough after death, just as people in Buddhism are called a golden body, and they have similar meanings.

"Whether it is or not, first pry it open."

With such a large lacquer coffin in front of him, there might be countless gold and jade artifacts hidden inside, Luo Laowai felt extremely itchy, and he didn't say much when he saw Chen Yulou, and hurriedly called his hands to open the coffin.

Several engineers stepped forward, holding a probe, and forcefully pried open a coffin.

Just moved the coffin lid aside.

Suddenly there was a loud bang in the darkness behind them, and all the people who were prying the coffin turned their heads, only to find that a heavy gate above the city gate had fallen, sealing off the back road.

"It's broken. This place is not an ancient tomb palace at all, but an urn trap left by the people of Yuan Dynasty. Damn it, we fell for it."

This sudden scene.

Everyone was stunned immediately, and their faces were full of fear.

Chen Yulou, who was still observing the sarcophagus, also turned around suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he cursed through gritted teeth.

"Chen is the boss, what should we do next?"

Luo Laowai was still looking forward to what kind of artifacts could be taken out of the coffin, but he didn't know what he was waiting for. For a while, he froze in place, his mind went blank, he couldn't think of any way, and he subconsciously turned to Chen. Yulou asked for help.

But as soon as these words came out, he was also extremely disturbed.

Although he is the leader of a warlord who controls thousands of troops, he is full of crimes in the Xiangyin area, and every household has heard of his reputation as Luo Rentu.

But he is also from the green forest, and Chen Yulou is the chief executive on the green forest road, and his qualifications in the arena are much lower than him.

Moreover, several generations of leaders of the Chen family have almost controlled the entire smuggling business in Xiangyin.

Even if Luo Laowai is cruel and merciless, he is a man who can accomplish things, but without the support of Chen Yulou, a loyal brother, he would not be able to get to where he is today.

Now that he has caused so many catastrophes one after another, and now he has caused many people to be trapped in this city, he feels even more uneasy.

"Luo Shuai!"

Chen Yulou was also short of breath, he just felt a surge of energy and blood in his chest, and he regretted it in his heart.

If he had known that the situation would be like this, he would never have allowed Luo Laowai to go to the grave together.

However, it is too late to regret now.

"Brother Chen, I, Lao Luo, have made a mistake. I promise I will never do it again. If I violate my wish, I will be struck by lightning."

Seeing that Chen Yulou seemed to be angry, Luo Laowai immediately stretched out a few fingers, pointing to the sky and swearing.

"You...forget it."

Seeing Luo Laowai's rogue-like appearance, Chen Yulou had nowhere to vent his anger.

And now that the situation is dangerous and unpredictable, with that time, it is better to think about how to break the formation.

After just watching for a while, there seemed to be no other movement other than the gate being closed. He was also a little puzzled for a while, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind under the exhaustion of his mind and body.

"Brother Xu!"

Chen Yulou looked to the side not far away.

Wishing seemed to be in a strange state. Although his face was calm, he always felt that there was a sign before the storm.

"Brother Xu, what do you think..."

"Shh!"

Wishing didn't even look back, just made a silent gesture, interrupted Chen Yulou's words and said.

"listen!"

listen?
Chen Yulou was taken aback.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the darkness around him. The ancient tomb was completely silent. Logically speaking, it should be like this. If there is always movement, then something is really wrong.

But the feeling of dead silence made him extremely uneasy, and his keen intuition made him feel that there should be some danger hidden in the darkness.

"stop fighting."

The bandits around were startled by the opening of the gate just now, and they are still talking about it, hesitating like flies.

Chen Yulou was upset when he heard that, and frowned coldly.

Hearing this, everyone immediately shut their mouths and did not dare to make any sound.

In the gradually quiet air, Chen Yulou suddenly caught an extremely faint movement, like water flowing.

"It's the bowstring!"

Before he could react, the low voice of making a wish reached his ears.

Chen Yulou's complexion changed suddenly, and he quickly held his breath and concentrated.When he listened to it again, he really recognized it all at once, the tiny humming sound was clearly the movement of the bowstring of the crossbow being tensed.

Arrow array?
With his previous experience, he immediately thought of the organ arrow formation.

Looking intently into the distance.

He was born with night eyes, which can see farther than ordinary people.

Looking through the surrounding darkness, he could almost see a huge bed crossbow in the archery tower on the top of the city tower at a glance.

A large arrow, as thick as a child's arm, was buckled on the bed crossbow, slowly accumulating strength.

Moreover, the mechanism arrow array is far more than that. In the densely packed holes on the archery tower, there are also countless strong bows stretched out. Far away at the crowd, it seems that it will launch at any time.

"God arm bed crossbow!"

Chen Yulou's eyes were tearing apart, and his soul was almost scared to death.

He has robbed tombs for so many years, and he has never seen such a big killer in any ancient tomb.

You must know that the god arm bed crossbow is only used for siege on the battlefield. One arrow shot can break through even the city wall, let alone the flesh and blood.

The other party is going to put people to death.

"Drive the shield."

"Don't panic, everyone gathers together."

Seeing that the ambushes were about to be launched at once, Chen Yulou's mind was spinning wildly.

Be calm when it comes to major events.

The more flustered he is now, the more likely something will go wrong, and he knows this better than anyone else.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Yulou didn't care about explaining anything, and hurriedly ordered loudly.

The bandits under his command immediately erected their shields upon hearing the words, moved closer with him as the center, and soon formed a large circular formation.

Numerous rattan grass shields protected the formation like an iron bucket, almost airtight.

"Hold on!"

"The people outside must hold on. If someone is injured, the people behind will go up."

Chen Yulou was still roaring loudly, directing the action.

But almost at the same time, the crossbow array on the archery tower was finally activated, and countless arrows shot down like locusts in a volley covering the sky and covering the earth.

"Boom~"

Because the crossbow had been stored for a long time, its strength was astonishing, and there was a sound immediately.

Although the rattan spleen was strong, many of them were penetrated, and many robbers were shot and killed in an instant.

However, this group of people was also ruthless. Seeing that the person in front was dead, they rushed forward with a yell, picked up the shield that fell to the ground and lifted it up.

It's just that the arrows were covered with fire phosphorus, and they ignited in the wind, and kerosene was buried in the bones in the city, and the ancient city almost turned into a sea of ​​flames.

The formation of the people being burned was in chaos, and Chen Yulou couldn't restrain himself at all at this time, a group of people fled in all directions, trying to find a way out.

I didn't expect that the mechanism in Yuan's tomb would be so vicious.

It was clear that he wanted to keep them all here, looked around, and was about to take out the soft rope hook and throw it far away to escape, when he suddenly heard an extremely rapid whistling sound by his ears.

Turned his head to look.

An incomparably huge arrow, with a sharp sound of breaking the wind, swept towards them viciously.

It was the big arrow on the god arm bed crossbow.
