Holy Bone

Chapter 1172
After passing through the Underworld, there is a collapsed underground palace, but fortunately, not all of the underground palace is buried, and people can barely pass through.

Jin'an quickly figured out that the reason for the collapse of the underground palace was not due to geological disasters, but man-made, because he found traces of gunpowder blasting.

What the gunpowder exploded was a diamond wall.

Diamond wall is a slang word in the tomb robbery industry. It is commonly known as Sanhe soil among the people. The diamond wall made of glutinous rice, clay and copper juice has not collapsed after thousands of years, and it is also waterproof and moisture-proof.

King Kong is known as invincible. Even if you dig a hole in this King Kong wall with a knife and shovel for a year, the cost is high, and there is a saying that there is a bowl of Sanhe soil for a few bowls of meat.

Although the Vajra Wall is not afraid of swords, guns, swords and axes, it is afraid of the explosion of gunpowder from ancient warlocks. It is now called alchemist gunpowder. As long as the amount of gunpowder is sufficient, no matter how thick the Vajra Wall is, it can explode for you.

It's as if the King Kong wall in front of me was blasted into a hole several people wide. The consequence was that a large amount of gunpowder was used underground, causing a geological disaster and the tomb collapsed.

Jin An took a look at the thickness of the Vajra Wall, and found that it was several feet thick, and could blow such a thick Vajra Wall into a big hole. Jin An had a guess in his mind. The hand of the alchemist?
Because only ancient warlocks can refine so much gunpowder.

Jin An passed through the cobweb-like holes in the Vajra Wall and entered the interior of the Vajra Wall. If he could spare no expense to build such a thick Vajra Wall, the inside must be the main tomb.

There is no coffin in the Vajra Wall, but a jade bed. I don’t know if the jade bed has been soaked in corpse fluid.Even if this jade bed was precious before, it is now reduced to an abandoned thing.

The owner of the tomb was not found on the jade bed, but a three-legged bronze furnace carved with lifelike three-legged golden crows was seen on the surface.

Looking at the three-legged bronze furnace, Jin An was taken aback. It looked like a pill furnace.

The next discovery surprised him even more. He found human skeletons in the tripod bronze furnace.

"Human bones?"

"There is a jade bed and a pill furnace in the tomb, and the human bones are not on the jade bed but in the pill furnace. This layout is too abrupt. Could it be that the ancient magician opened the diamond wall and then it is inconvenient to move The corpse directly moved the alchemy furnace into the King Kong wall, and used the owner of the tomb as a medicine primer to make alchemy?"

As for what kind of pill to make, Jin An has already guessed seven or eight points.

Think of the tomb-suppressing beasts outside, the huge Hades, and the expensive Vajra Wall. The owner of this tomb is of extraordinary status. In all likelihood, there is some way to keep his body from rot, and then he is taken away by ancient magicians. Refined the elixir of longevity.

Never underestimate the despicability of human nature before the temptation of immortality.

"If there are really ancient warlocks stealing corpses to make longevity pills, it is easy to understand why there are only bones left in the pill furnace, just like cooking stew, flesh and blood are the essence, and only bones are left in the end." As if to verify According to Jin An's guess, Jin An found a lot of residue in the alchemy furnace, which looked like the dregs left after the alchemy of medicinal materials.

Of course, after so many years, even the dregs of the medicine have rotted into black peat.

While Jin An was still looking down at the medicine dregs and human bones in the alchemy furnace, suddenly, the flame of the torch in his hand flickered.

Jin An glanced at the torch, and continued to keep his head down, his expression focused and devoted, and he didn't look back.

There was one more person in the reflection of the torch on the ground, and that figure was still gradually enlarged, and a person was slowly approaching behind him.

Jin An's attention was still attracted by the pill furnace, and he didn't seem to notice that there was an extra person behind him silently.

The person behind him was also very courageous, seeing that Jin An hadn't found him, he was still creeping closer to Jin An.

This kind of approaching quietly, it seems that the comer is not good, and wants to attack him from behind.

Jin An glanced at the ground out of the corner of his eyes, and continued to maintain a focused expression. He finally waited for the opportunity. When the people behind him were about to attack him, Jin An turned around sharply and took a torch to shine behind him.

The people behind never expected that Jin An would suddenly turn to face it, and it was so anxious that it hit the ground on all fours, trying to run away in a panic.

Wearing a hat, this person was the mysterious person he met before. The brim of the hat was lowered so low that Jin An couldn't see his face clearly for the time being.

But one thing is certain, this person is not tall enough to reach his chest and abdomen.

Jin An suppressed his inner curiosity. Seeing that the other party was about to flee in a panic, he immediately made a strong move.

The other party wanted to struggle in vain, but he did not expect that today a martial artist and a master of the three realms would come to arrest him.

Only then did Jin An realize that the so-called person was not a real person, nor was he the walking corpse he imagined, but a mandrill.

There are many folk legends about mandrills. Most of them say that mandrills like to imitate people in their behavior and dress, and always like to wear certain hats. They have a selfish personality and like to tease people and steal.

In Jin An's eyes, the mandrill struggled violently, the hat fell off, and the clothes that didn't fit well slipped off, revealing a monkey with black face and red eyes.

The mandrill was still struggling, and kept baring its teeth at Jin An, looking fierce like a ghost, and its eyes were especially vicious, just like a human being.

When Jin An picked up the mandrill with one hand, he had already noticed that the mandrill monkey was not a living thing, it was actually a corpse, full of corpse gas and rotten smell.

"A corpse puppet? A corpse puppet?"

"Is there a corpse driver in this tomb?"

Seeing that the mandrill was struggling violently, Jin An wanted to bite his palm fiercely several times, but could not communicate calmly. Without hesitation, he took out a dagger and stabbed it into the back of the mandrill's head. not moving.

Thinking that there might be a corpse chaser hiding in this underground tomb, Jin An became more interested. He wanted to know what the purpose of this corpse chaser was hiding here, so after killing the mandrill, he cast 72 transformations. He asked the mandrill to take him to find the corpse exorcist.

Under the effect of exorcising corpses, the mandrill was temporarily "resurrected", full of flesh and blood, and all wounds were healed, then turned around and ran out of the hole in the diamond wall, and ran towards the other direction of this huge underground palace.

Jin An followed closely behind.

Jin An still underestimated the size of this underground palace. If it wasn't for the mandrill leading the way, he might not be able to complete the exploration in just a few days.

It is precisely because the underground palace is so huge that it is more suitable for Tibetans. If you hide hundreds of people casually, they will not be discovered.

Some tunnels are even hidden in the cracks of the mountain. Without a mandrill leading the way, it is difficult to be found. However, these cracks in the mountain also made Jin An suffer a lot, and often had to drill in and out in a small space.

As he got closer to the target, he heard human voices, and more than one voice...
