Chapter 49 The Legendary Creature! A Dragon?
"Since we're already here, we should explore a bit before leaving. If we encounter any danger, we can always hide in the space."
After calming myself down, I approached the tomb passage.
It was pitch black all around, but the space was quite open.
On the walls on both sides, there are several huge bones embedded, which look like the vertebrae of some kind of creature, but they must be at least seven or eight meters long.
"What kind of creature's bones are these? How can they be so big!" Chen Jianming was shocked.
It was just a small section of the exposed spine, yet it was already taller than him.
If these are really the bones of some animal, how big must the whole body be?
He always felt that this tomb had an eerie quality, something unusual about it.
He stepped forward and tapped it; the leg bone made a crisp sound, like jade colliding.
He struggled to pull out the leg bone, stored it in his spatial storage, and planned to study it slowly after leaving this place.
The bone was so big that it left a large hole in the wall after it was pried off.
He continued onward, and soon entered the tomb.
Looking around, the tomb cave appeared quite empty.
The ground was covered with bones, and just like those in the tomb passage, they were all surprisingly large.
However, the bones in the cave looked more like a spine, and if connected together, they would be more than ten meters long.
He also discovered a huge skull, taller than a person, extremely sturdy, which could not be marked even after several attempts to cut it with an entrenching tool.
"Could this thing be dragon bones?"
An absurd idea popped into Chen Jianming's mind.
This creature was one he had never seen before.
A piece of his skull was broken off, and the teeth in his mouth were bigger than his head.
After so many years, these bones show no signs of weathering whatsoever, remaining as if they had just died.
He studied the skull for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
This wasn't a place for research either, so he decided to continue exploring.
After walking about a hundred meters, a corner suddenly appeared in front of us.
"Who?"
Chen Jianming was startled.
A reflection appeared in the tomb ahead!
The tomb was pitch black everywhere, and apart from the powerful flashlight in his hand, there shouldn't be anything else that emitted light.
He cautiously walked around the corner, only to find that he was actually in front of an underground lake, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the lakeside, there are still some bronze candlesticks and candles that are still burning.
"Is this...the legendary mermaid lamp? Is it an antique or something left behind by those tomb raiders?"
Chen Jianming stepped forward, looked at them for a while, and then put all the mermaid lanterns into his spatial storage.
Although they don't quite match the age of the tomb, these candlesticks still look like antiques.
Moreover, legend has it that the mermaid lamp can burn for a thousand years without going out. Although this claim may be an exaggeration, it is enough to show that it can burn for a very long time.
This is a treasure; many people never even see one of these things!
He was puzzled. The tomb raiders came to the tomb to steal things, so why did they leave the mermaid lamp behind?
He raised his flashlight and shone it across the lake, preparing to continue exploring, when he suddenly spotted a white shadow deep inside the underground lake.
"What the hell is that?"
He broke out in a cold sweat.
Although he didn't believe in ghosts or gods, in this kind of environment, anyone would inevitably feel a little scared if they suddenly saw a white figure.
I steadied myself and shone my flashlight in the direction of the shadowy figure, but unfortunately, it was too far away, and even with a strong flashlight, it was difficult to see clearly.
The dark shape looked blurry, as if it were floating on the lake. It looked like a person, but it was more than two meters tall.
"Is there a ghost in this tomb?" Chen Jianming swallowed hard.
Everything before him was too bizarre, completely beyond his comprehension.
"If I don't move, you absolutely mustn't move either. Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Amitabha Buddha, and all beings without righteousness, you are undoubtedly offending me."
He muttered to himself as he slowly backed away.
Fortunately, the white shadow in the lake, though eerie, remained completely still.
"Click—"
Suddenly, just as he was about to back away, he heard a soft rustling sound behind him, as if someone was walking barefoot on gravel.
Chen Jianming's entire body tensed up; he didn't dare turn around at all.
I was terrified that if I turned around I would see a gaping, bloodthirsty maw!
Strangely, after he stopped, the sounds of footsteps behind him also stopped.
However, before he could even catch his breath, a screeching sound, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, rang out from all directions.
The entire tomb was filled with this piercing sound, which was enough to send chills down your spine!
Chen Jianming mustered his courage and swept his flashlight around, but found nothing.
Looking back at the underground lake, the white shadow in the lake had also disappeared!
"Damn it, I've really met my match today!" he couldn't help but curse under his breath.
If you're looking for adventure and thrills, what's happening right in front of you is definitely more exciting than anything else. Curiosity really killed the cat.
After trying to calm myself down, I continued to look around. The piercing sound in the cave was still going on, and it seemed to be getting closer.
It sounds unpredictable, sometimes appearing in front of you, sometimes above your head.
"What is this thing?!"
Chen Jianming exclaimed in surprise and, after a thorough search, finally discovered a bunch of insects on the top of the tomb.
The insects were very large, about a foot long, and completely black. As they crawled, they made a series of piercing noises.
He had never seen such a thing before; it must be some kind of underground poisonous insect.
"At least it's poisonous insects, which is better than something dirty."
He retrieved some torches from his spatial storage and some insect-repelling herbs, scattering them around the tomb to keep the poisonous insects at bay.
The poisonous insects were terrified of fire. Upon seeing the torch, they retreated to the side, though they continued to scratch at the wall.
Behind him was the underground lake, and there was no way to avoid it, so he could only hold up his flashlight to look at the white shadow on the lake surface.
Sure enough, the white shadow reappeared, floating and sinking in the lake water, seemingly drifting out of the lake with the current.
"Why are you dressed like a modern person?"
As they drew closer, Chen Jianming gradually made out the white figure.
It really was a person, but his body was so huge that his whole body seemed swollen, and the clothes he was wearing were torn!
He could only see the white shadow clearly when it drifted to the lakeside.
It turns out he was a tomb raider who had been soaked to the point of becoming a giant!
He breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't some kind of old corpse from a mountain village or something.
I was really a little scared just now.
The main thing is that in this kind of environment, anyone would feel a little apprehensive when faced with this kind of situation.
"But why are these tomb raiders lingering here? Did they fail to steal anything?"
The tomb raider was completely soaked in a floatation bag, which looked quite disgusting.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Chen Jianming found a wooden stick in his spatial storage and slowly pulled it ashore.
He was very careful during the process; this thing could easily explode, and he didn't want to get covered in it.
Then, he took the tomb raider into his spatial storage and only learned the whole story a moment later.
"These tomb raiders are actually quite clever!"
