471 Chapter 471 Siguniang Mountain (31)

A large amount of high-temperature mist produced by the reaction of water and strong alkali was instantly sprayed out from the opening of the sprinkler hidden in the darkness of the tomb.

As the high-temperature mist continued to spray, the locations of the nozzles of the mechanisms were also revealed. They were all set on the top of the tomb chamber. There were eight nozzles in a circle around the top of the tomb chamber. The sprayed mist had already covered the tomb. The people in the tomb surrounded the center of the tomb.

There is a small circle of spray ports near the coffin. There are four spray points in total. Only some clear smoke as thin as a ribbon leaks out, but it must be a temporary state. After all, it is a fatal mechanism. It probably won’t cost much to spray like the outer circle. time.

The white mist ejected from the eight nozzles quickly gathered and occupied the sky above the tomb, spreading over a large area in the tomb. In the blink of an eye, it rolled toward the center of the tomb like a sea of ​​clouds.

Bai Hao knew that now there was less time for everyone to evacuate, and the amount of strong alkali reserved here was extremely huge. As long as he took a small step slower this time, the outcome would be the same for the mortal flesh in the tomb. He must die, even if he relied on Xiaoxun to protect himself with dragon scales, otherwise it would be difficult not to be injured. Bai Hao reminded everyone again: "Move faster."

The high-temperature mist came quickly and violently. The mist was also mixed with a lot of strong alkali solution. It dripped down like rain, and then started a new wave of chemical reactions with the alkali powder on the ground. In response, the temperature in the tomb rose suddenly, and the high-temperature mist falling from above and rising from below gradually connected into a wall of fog.

Li Yue said: "Bai Hao, it's too late."

Bai Hao sighed and said, "It's too late, don't worry about me speeding up." After saying that, he rushed out towards the end of the team.

Seeing Bai Hao rushing toward the high-temperature fog wall without stopping him, Li Yue understood what he was going to do, but still frowned slightly in worry and continued to speed up to arrange for everyone to enter the cave entrance in an orderly manner to escape.

At this time, the few people at the end of the team who were too close to the mechanism had already sensed something bad just before the high-temperature mist sprayed down, and they rushed towards the center of the tomb with all their might, but the high-temperature mist came. It was so violent that they had no time to escape before being surrounded by a large amount of mist and solution.

The heat was thick and thick, and they were completely submerged in the mist. The moment the white mist hit them, their bodies had begun to undergo fatal changes due to the double damage of the scorching high temperature and the corrosion of the strong alkali solution. At the same time, shrill screams were heard from many places in the tomb.

Their shouts instantly resounded throughout the tomb chamber. The team members who were still wandering at the entrance of the cave trembled with fear. This sound also reached the ears of us who were walking cautiously on the ice stone bridge.

With the cat behind my brother, I felt creepy listening to the sound coming from the tomb. It seemed to be even more tragic than the screams of bats I encountered before. The sound echoed in the empty stone walls, and my heart became even more pounding. Play the drums.

Bai Hao rushed to the vicinity of the outer mist, and the scorching heat wave hit him mercilessly. The mist was white and his vision was blurred. Bai Hao had no choice but to fumble around, and when he caught people, he would give them directions and let them know. They walked toward the entrance of the cave, and then saw several black figures struggling in pain in the mist, and some had fallen to the ground.

Bai Hao rushed over to check if there was any possibility of their survival. He met a wounded man at the relatively safe border who seemed to be still conscious and was walking hard toward the entrance of the cave. However, Bai Hao asked him, "Are you okay?" Ignoring him, he continued to stagger.

Bai Hao saw that the plain clothes on the man's body had been corroded by the strong alkali solution and were faded and mottled. Some of the fabrics were torn, and the exposed skin was burned over a large area. Some parts of the skin were wrinkled and red. Some places were so loose that it looked like the skin was about to fall off, and there were also a lot of blisters.

Although this man looked intact, he had actually been corroded from the inside out and was very fragile. When Bai Hao got closer, he saw that blood had begun to ooze from many places. He must have inhaled strong alkali into his body. , but he still has a breath, but he is already like a walking zombie.

Bai Hao spoke to him again, and the man suddenly stopped, and his body started shaking like an electric shock. He opened his mouth and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but only some strange words came out of his throat. As soon as the sound came, a large amount of blood spurted out from his mouth, and he fell to the ground with a "bang" after shaking for a few times.

Bai Hao knew that this person could not be saved, so he quickly looked around and saw a few people lying motionless in the thick mist. There was also an image of someone kneeling and swaying. Yes, he was probably in doubt, but he still cautiously went over to take a look at the situation.

This man's condition looks several times worse than the one just now. His skin is not only burned, red, swollen and wrinkled, but also has severe skin avulsions. He already has many wounds on his body. The skin was gone and fell to the ground beside him. His whole body was covered in blood, revealing the flesh and blood inside. It seemed that he had been torn apart by himself when he was struggling in pain, and the serious parts had been exposed. His bones and muscles were broken, and he was already dying.

Bai Hao suddenly felt that the small circle of spray nozzles behind him seemed to be officially activated. At the same time, Li Yue's voice came over and shouted: "Bai Hao, come back quickly."

Bai Hao looked back and frowned. Wasn't it because the mechanism was activated? Another large amount of high-temperature mist sprayed down. His vision in the direction back was blurred. These people were already hopeless. It was better to leave quickly. There was no delay. If it lasts too long, Xiaoxun will definitely become anxious and start to retreat just thinking about it.

Back to the coffin, there were still a few people lining up to go down. Li Yue asked him how he was doing, and he shook his head and said, "It's very miserable."

At the same time, Bai Hao also felt a cold and vicious look staring at him. Not to be outdone, Bai Hao immediately stared at him and said, "You are a little luckier than some of them. What a pity for those brothers." .”

Bai Hao looked at him and seemed to be wondering why he was fine when this person died tragically. However, Bai Hao was unhappy when he saw this person who bullied Xiaoxun. He rolled his eyes at him and said coldly: "Okay, it's your turn. Let's go quickly." I wanted to kick him into the hot mist, but I still had to protect him.

The man who was staring at the spy gave the man a push and said, "Go away quickly."

The spy glared at the man unconvincingly before agreeing to dig into the coffin.Li Yue looked at the circle of spray nozzles around the coffin and discovered a problem and said to Bai Hao, "Look, the aerosol here is blocked."

I saw a large cover above the coffin that was invisible to the naked eye and could surround the egg-shaped vault near the coffin. The aerosol was flowing along the arc-shaped surface in other directions, leaving just enough space near the coffin. Created some safe space.

Bai Hao looked up and said with a smile: "This girl has plans here."

Li Yue finally said in a more relaxed tone: "It's very thoughtful. The protection will not disappear in a short period of time. It just protects us from leaving the tomb safely and smoothly, but it also tries not to change the course of history. Isn't that great?"

Bai Hao said: "Yes, even if you let that annoying one go, look at his virtue, maybe he is holding something back. After all, he is a hidden danger."

Bai Hao snorted and said, "If he dares to touch a hair of Xiaoxun again, I may not kill him, but I won't make it easy for him."

Li Yue said: "Yes, Zhang Qiling and I will not make it easy for him."

The brother who was guarding the spy went down to the cave and shouted: "Master Bai, Miss Liyue, come down quickly."

Bai Hao and Li Yue looked at the coffin. Bai Hao replied: "Here we come." Then he said to Li Yue: "Let's go."

The two people entered the cave entrance one after another.

We have passed three stone bridges along the way, and there is another one. From this position, it is very clear from below. It is a huge ice lake. It can be said that there is a huge ice cave below. The distribution of ice can be compared to that of a snow mountain. glacier cave.

The ice cave is very beautiful, with transparent ice and white ice everywhere. There are also countless ice crystal condensations blooming like flowers, and long and sharp ice skates hanging from the edge of the ice wall with their tips downward. The layers are like waterfalls, and there are many on the ground. The thicker ones grow on the ground, and become thinner and more pointed as they go up, like bamboo shoots. There are also countless huge ice cubes. The pillar stood there like a big tree.

There are lines formed by the flow of water on the ice surface, and the lights reflect the bright light.

Ice crystals come in various shapes, some are like enlarged snowflakes stacked one on top of another, some are like clusters of pine needles, some are like crystal clusters, and many are condensed on smooth icicles as high as a person. , like crystal cactus that bloomed one after another.

I said in surprise: "This is so beautiful, but with such a large area of ​​ice, the way out will be frozen in it."

Of course, my brother didn’t answer my question. We continued walking. Just as we passed a row of ice pillars, I saw rows of huge ice-shelled black hairy balls standing behind those pillars. I couldn’t help blurting out: “Brother. Look, frozen black eggs."

Although Zhang Qiling still didn't answer the girl this time, his steps slowed down. When he came to face the frozen black hair, he paused for a moment, looking at those things with a murderous look in his eyes.

A short while later, Zhang Qiling took the girl into the small ice cave at the end of the last section of the stone bridge. After passing a short passage several meters long, the two of them walked out of a short ice cliff more than one meter high. , arrived at the bridge closest to the ground first, Zhang Qiling stopped, grabbed the girl's hand on his waist and asked her to stand up, and landed on the ground first.

The ice under his feet was relatively white and very thick, so he turned around and picked up the girl from the stone bridge.

Although the girl had fallen to the ground, she kept looking at the ice not far away. She held him tightly with her little hands, trembling slightly. It seemed that it was not just the cold, but her uneasy mood that had not calmed down at all.

Zhang Qiling took the girl's hand and began to walk slowly towards the lake, looking at the ice as he walked, until he stopped at the junction of the ground and the lake.

He looked around. From this side of the ice wall, there were many small holes high and low, but they were all formed by icicles. They were not really caves.

Frozen black hair masses surrounded the lake, and there were roughly dozens of them.

The ice in the glacier lake is very translucent, and the ice layer is quite thick. It is only more than ten centimeters thick. You can vaguely see the water under the ice layer. This should be an underground lake.

When I looked at the ice on the lake, I always felt that the color in the center of the lake was particularly dark, but it might just be a light problem. Then I looked at the frozen black hair around me, and I felt particularly uncomfortable. It felt like these things were frozen like this next to me. The hanging ones are scary.

The people who followed also marveled at the beauty of the ice cave, but what attracted more attention was where the road behind was.
