Chapter 224 Giant Rat Crisis
Chapter 224 Giant Rat Crisis
On this day, cracks appeared on the top of the corridor, and water from the inside of the mountain seeped down. The ground was muddy, and the depth of the mud could not be seen from the surface.
Seeing the mud piled up on the road, Sima Yi and the others couldn't help but stop.
Because they saw dozens of white corpses in front of them. These corpses were connected to each other one by one. Thick iron chains were tied to the ankles of the corpses. Tools such as shovels and iron cones were scattered around the corpses. The century-old lake has been soaked in rust.
"The owners of these skeletons were mostly slaves or captives who dug the cave. When the cave was dug through, when the cold spring water flowed into the bottom of the cave, they had no time to escape and were drowned at the entrance of the cave. It slowly rotted away, but the skeleton settled in the mud at the bottom of the lake..." Liu Zifan put forward his own conjecture.
Obviously, this idea has been agreed by everyone.
"Then how should we get there?" Tao Chengzhi asked.
"The silt is not long. We can move the stone statue in the palace and throw it in, and then step on the stone statue." Liu Zifan said.
"Well, it's a good way, Xu Chu took people to move some stone statues here." Wei Ji said.
Chen Wei, who was hiding in the palace room, was hesitating whether to follow up, when he suddenly saw someone turning back, he immediately retracted behind the stone statue of ghosts and gods.
"Why are they moving the stone statue?" Seeing Xu Chu and others carrying the stone statue out, I felt strange.
After they finished moving the stone statue, Chen Wei decided to follow up to have a look. When he passed by, he suddenly found a switch exposed on the base of a stone statue after it was emptied.It is not available on the bases of other half-empty stone statues.
"The switch is hidden under the base. If you don't move it, you won't be able to find it. It's hidden so deep, it shouldn't be some kind of mechanism." After thinking about it, Chen Wei lightly pressed the switch.
There was a clicking sound, and there seemed to be the sound of the stone door opening outside the corridor.
Chen Wei walked out, about ten meters away from the turn, Chen Wei saw the muddy tunnel, saw the stone statues submerged in the mud, and Chen Wei understood why the other party moved these stone statues just now.
"I clearly heard the sound of the stone gate opening just now, but why can't I see the opening?" Chen Wei stepped back again, and the moment he turned his head, a hole appeared at the fork in the road.
Chen Wei walked over, looked at the entrance of the cave, and was stunned.
……
In the long corridor, Sima Yi and others have been walking for half an hour, but there is no end.
"Is this the way?"
"Could it be wrong?"
"There is only this way, and there is no choice."
……
Slowly, a disgusting stench came to the nostrils.Everyone thought it was poisonous gas, covered their mouths and noses, and held their breath.
After the stench gradually dissipated, everyone slowly moved towards the exit of the corridor. Inside the corridor, it was pitch-black and eerie.
Sima Yi took a fire and threw it in. Under the light of the torch, thousands of corpses were piled up in a pit not far away more than ten meters away, the size of a football field, forming two towers more than ten meters high. The mountain of corpses, the mountain of corpses is made up of densely packed corpses stacked together. It stretches endlessly and extends hundreds of meters away. After hundreds of years of corrosion, the upper parts of the corpses have been corroded, revealing The white skeleton, the corpses piled up below have not been rotten clean, and thick black blood oozes out. There is a thick layer of blood floating on the pit, emitting a disgusting stench. People with poor endurance immediately vomited stand up.
Although Sima Feixue didn't vomit, she covered her nose and mouth and frowned.
"It is said that in order not to reveal the secrets of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, Qin II ordered that all the prisoners and craftsmen who participated in the construction of the tomb be locked inside the tomb, and the corpses piled up like a mountain. I am afraid this is the place where the prisoners and craftsmen piled up their corpses!" Liu Zifan said. .
"There seems to be something moving down there!"
Everyone was shocked and all backed away.Sima Yi threw down the torch again.
In the light of the fire, everyone could see a few astonishingly large dark-colored giant rats slowly crawling out from the pile of corpses at the bottom. Make a creaking sound.
"Did these rats grow so big by eating corpses?" Xu Chu couldn't help being startled when he saw these rats, especially those rat eyes were blood red and glowing red, which made people tremble.
"I will smash you to death!" Xu Chu lifted a stone from the corner of the wall.
"Don't!" Wei Ji shouted hastily.
The voice didn't fall--
The stone in Xu Chu's hand had already been smashed down, hitting a mouse, smashing it into meat paste, black blood oozing out.
"The blood is actually black?"
These mice apparently usually ate carrion corpses and poisonous insects in the ancient tombs, carrying countless bacteria and viruses on their bodies, and mutated.
What was even more frightening was that after the mouse was crushed to death, countless pairs of bloody eyes appeared one after another in the pile of corpses, densely packed for hundreds of meters.
Those rats had gnawed on the carrion corpses in the corpse pile for so many years, and now they saw a live body, and the black hair on their bodies immediately stood up, making creaking, creaking sounds.
Then everyone saw the dense blood-red eyes moving quickly, running towards the direction where everyone was standing.
In the flames, those giant rats were getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, everyone saw thousands of giant rats rushing towards them like a tide.
The Kongtong Guard standing in front with the torch was so frightened that he threw away the torch and ran away. Sima Yi and the others had no other thoughts when they saw the group of rats.
The two Kongtong guards who were injured in the palace earlier were the slowest, falling behind, and were overtaken by the swarming giant rats in the blink of an eye. On the body, the two Kongtong guards uttered blood-curdling screams, but the next moment they were gnawed into two rows of white corpses by giant rats.
The giant rat that came from behind continued to chase towards the tomb.
The speed of these giant rats was so fast that after being caught up, some people were bitten into bones alive.The screams echoed in the corridor, making those who ran in front even more terrified.
Two or three giant rats had already reached Wei Ji's feet. Wei Ji was shocked and shouted for help.
A general rushed to Wei Ji's side and kicked the giant rats away with his feet, but immediately a few more rushed over and rushed forward to follow.
Wei Ji suddenly grabbed the general and pushed him back. The general didn't expect that Wei Ji would betray him, so he screamed unwillingly and fell down among the rats.When the swarm of rats passed by the general, they stopped for a while, allowing Wei Ji to escape temporarily.Countless rats covered the general's body, and after a while, only a white bone remained.
Sima Feixue, who was not far away, happened to see this scene, his face was as cold as ice, and while retreating, he scolded: "You are too cold-blooded and despicable!"
Wei Ji ran forward desperately, glanced sideways at Sima Feixue, and said with a sneer, "I'd rather let the world down than let the world down on me!"
A look of disappointment flashed in Sima Feixue's eyes. Even if such a person is a saint, don't we have to assist him in Jiange of Shuzhong?
"Senior Sister, save me!" A disciple of Jiange in Shuzhong was bitten by a giant rat behind him. These rats that devour dead bodies are often very poisonous, and it is unknown how many viruses and bacteria are on their bodies.
The disciple was bitten, and his whole leg was immediately paralyzed, dragging his legs and running desperately.
Two feet can't run these giant rats, let alone a person?
