466 Chapter 466 Siguniang Mountain (26)
The white powder quickly spread from the opening of the stone door to the outside. In an instant, the ground in front of the stone door seemed to be covered with snow, turning white.

The fine powder rose and rolled with the air flow when the door was opened. It was white and mist-like, spreading in the surrounding air.

Everyone was always vigilant. No matter what was blowing out of the crack in the door, they instinctively backed away quickly, away from the door, and everyone invariably covered their mouths and noses.

As soon as I covered myself, a big hand suddenly came over to cover my face. The palm of the hand pressed down on my little finger that was covering my mouth and nose. The two long fingers of the big hand also pulled down accurately at the same time. My double eyelids cover my eyes.

I guess my brother already knew what those things were, so he caught me off guard again.

At this moment, his other hand was also moving, probably because he was afraid that I would move around. He also used a little force to hold the back of my head. I thought, these powders must be something powerful.

After a while, the flying dust gradually fell, and some people loosened their hands covering themselves, and then they smelled a pungent smell.

Qi Tiezui's facial features wrinkled, and he waved his hand in front of him, stirring the air in front of him, as if he wanted to blow away all the fine floating dust in front of him that was invisible to the naked eye, and said without opening his mouth. Said: "This smell seems to be alkali powder."

Zhang Rishan looked at the powder on the ground carefully, frowned and said, "It's a strong alkali." He shined a flashlight into the crack of the door, then turned back to us with a solemn expression and said, "There is a lot of alkali in it."

Qi Tiezui went over to take a look and his face was even uglier than Zhang Rishan's. He said, "The alkali powder from the patriarch's family is like free of charge. There is no place without powder in it."

Bai Hao also leaned over to take a look, and then heard him say: "Ah! It's evenly distributed, as if it had snowed."

Qi Tiezui said "Ah", "Isn't it? This is a bit troublesome, and the powder will stick to us. The smell of this stuff is non-toxic, but no one can stand its strong corrosiveness."

Gou Wuye sighed "Hey" and said: "This thing is more poisonous than poisonous."

Bai Hao said: "There must be more than just this powder here. The powder is sprinkled so evenly, it looks like it was splashed."

The dust had already fallen to the ground, and Zhang Qiling let go of the girl.

The girl looked at the powder and said: "Every move a person makes will drive the surrounding airflow. In that kind of environment, we can't escape those powders at all. Strong alkali is highly corrosive, and even dry powder is very harmful to the human body. The first thing to suffer is the exposed skin, our eyes and respiratory tract. I remember that the damage caused by strong alkali corrosion is irreparable."

Bai Hao said: "Look at your body to see if you have anything that can be used for protection. Wear whatever you have and tighten your clothes. Block as much as you can. When you go in, you must move as gently as possible to suppress other people's injuries." Raise the dust and rush out if something goes wrong.”

There seems to be no other way at the moment. Everyone knows how scary this thing is, so they all start to look for usable things in their own equipment. However, after experiencing several previous battles, many people's equipment is no longer very complete. .

While everyone was busy doing their own thing, Brother Bai Hao came over and said to me and Sister Liyue in a slightly serious voice: "You know how the alkali mechanism works without telling you. We are here to get something again and touch the mechanism. The possibility is extremely high. Once the mechanism here is activated, judging from the amount of strong alkali in it, even if we deal with it, I am afraid that we will not be able to escape as well as we can deal with the tree vines.

The loose powder here is extremely finely divided and spread so evenly. I think there is most likely a spray-type mechanism here. You must know that almost all the mechanisms in this place are fatal mechanisms, and they should be inevitable. , you two with delicate skin and tender flesh, just wait here to meet us. "

I could hear that he said these words in a tentative tone. Sister Liyue didn't respond to him, but I still said "no" firmly.

I saw Brother Bai Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at each other. Then they all stared at me. I knew that my answer must be within their expectations. I said to them: "I know." I am prepared for the danger of this thing and will be very careful.”

Brother Bai Hao didn't react this time. He always looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze. I tried my best to tell him with my eyes that you can trust me, I can do it.

But it was extremely difficult to wait for him to say "yes", which made me very nervous. I couldn't control myself so I rubbed my fingers and swallowed a few times.

He slowly walked to me, pulled up my sleeves, stretched them, and folded them tightly. Sister Liyue immediately handed over a pair of leather gloves in front of me. My brother took them and put them on my hands. After buttoning the cinch at his wrist, he looked at me again.

I knew that he understood what I meant, which was a kind of recognition for me, and I was naturally very happy. I said to him: "I understand that you don't want me to participate in the dangers of this place, but I want to protect it." you."

They are all important to me, and I definitely want to protect them in my heart. But looking at the person in front of me, I couldn't help but froze after saying the word "you", but suddenly I realized that this seemed to express I don't know that I also attach great importance to my brothers and sisters, so I hastily added the word "men".The person in front of me was looking at me with a pair of extremely clear eyes. The small joy of being affirmed and the awkward feeling after the brilliant expression just made me feel hot.

Brother Bai Hao poked his head over, let out a strange "yo", and said strangely: "What's wrong? Are you stunned?"

I stammered: "Where...how can there be..."

Brother Bai Hao said: "The light is indeed not very good, but it can't fool me. Why do my little ears turn red when I look at you? You don't need to bring ours with you when you express your feelings to him. We can understand." of."

I directly changed the subject and said: "I...I have thought about it. You don't have to be afraid of those alkalis. Just do what you have to do for a while. I will protect you."

As I said that, I took out three small weapons made of dragon scales and stuffed one into each of their hands. I took a deep breath and swung my right hand flexibly and elegantly like the tail of a swimming goldfish, using my own spirit. It can stimulate the spiritual energy in the dragon scales, so that the spiritual energy immediately forms a layer of pale golden protective layer around the four of us that only we can see.

After everyone was ready, we walked slowly in through the crack of the stone door. It was really white there, as if it had snowed, and the powder under our feet was at least thick enough to cover the soles of our shoes.

The temperature inside is a little lower than outside. This time the cold is so cold that it really feels like being in a world of ice and snow. The breath you exhale can freeze instantly, which makes many people's The bodies are all curled up.

I thought, since this is the main tomb, there will be a coffin. Sure enough, as soon as we entered, our flashlight light illuminated a huge black carved stone coffin placed on the stone platform in the center of the tomb. It was very large. It looks like there should be several coffins within coffins.

Not only is the coffin black, the surrounding stone bricks are also made of black stone. It is estimated that the areas covered with white alkali powder will also look like this black. I thought, if it were not for these white alkali powder lining The tomb is a little brighter, and it must be so gloomy that it makes people shudder.

There are many bottles, cans, boxes and other things around here. These things are also mixed with many large and small objects with strange shapes, but they are all covered with alkali powder. Only the outline can be seen, and the shape is more obvious. There seems to be an ornament shaped like a chicken, but it could also be a bird.

My brother’s goal should be the big sarcophagus in front of us. I saw him walking over and carefully looking at a small stone tablet more than one meter high on the side of the coffin facing us.

He gently wiped the surface of the stone tablet, and the patterns carved on the black stone and the words in strange fonts that were incomprehensible were immediately revealed. Some of the fine powder of alkali was embedded in the carvings, which made it clearer.

Zhang Rishan asked him: "Clan leader, do you want to open the coffin?"

Zhang Qiling moved closer to the sarcophagus, looking around it and thinking.

He walked to the side of the sarcophagus and stopped. He touched the outermost layer of the coffin, looking for something on it. He searched carefully, touching inch by inch.

Suddenly his hand stopped, and he took out the dagger from his body. The tip of his knife moved along the lines of the pattern carved on the coffin, just like writing on it, selectively depicting part of the content on the wall of the coffin. Suddenly there was a "Gada" sound, and a long square popped up. Only then did I realize that the pattern on this square looked very familiar.

My brother called me and tilted his head slightly in my direction. I quickly took out the stone box that I had just placed in my bag, held it in my hand and said to him, "Here."

He pinched the square on the coffin and slowly pulled it out until it was completely taken out. From this look, the designs of the two stone boxes were almost the same. The biggest difference was that the materials of the stones were different. The one I just took out is jet black.

He took the black one from my hand and gave it to me and said, "Keep it away."

I wiped off the remaining alkali powder and put the box into my bag. My brother stuffed the stone box he took from the amber monster egg into the groove of the black stone box. Just when he was about to stuff it in completely, he paused. After a while, he said: "Get out of my way."

Everyone took a few steps back, and then he pressed the last exposed point of the box in. With another "Gada" sound, he quickly stood up and retreated to my side.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that this layer of coffin began to crack, but it did not crack randomly, but cracked bigger and bigger according to an artificially designed irregular pattern, and then cracked out. Layering.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of friction between metal and stone was heard inside the coffin. Parts of these layered coffins began to tilt and collapse like dominoes, but after falling layer by layer, they formed a complete stone platform. With the appearance of the stone platform, the coffin wrapped in layers finally appeared in front of us.
