bloodbath song

Chapter 453 Life and Death
The shaking of the stone wall stopped for a moment, the stone chips fell, and a stone carving picture appeared on the stone wall. The picture covered the entire stone wall, and the picture was lifelike. Cheng He, even if he just looked at the stone carvings on the stone wall, he could feel the killing atmosphere on the warship, which made people go crazy.

Carefully approaching the stone wall and observing the stone carvings at a close distance, Ling Tao sighed: "Not to mention anything else, this picture alone is a great treasure. Its exquisite carving technology is unparalleled in the world, especially the battlefield depicted in this picture , it may have been thousands of years apart, perhaps such a battle really happened in history."

"Judging from the weapons and armor worn by the two sides in this picture, this is clearly the style of the pre-Qin period. I am afraid that it has been more than 2000 years ago. I can't believe that there is such a thing hidden under this mountain." A product of civilization that shocked the world," Xue Yao sighed.

"Don't move, be careful", Ling Tao reminded from the side, Xue Yao almost couldn't help but want to touch the stone carving pattern with his hand, who knows what mechanism is on it, Ling Tao said to stop it.

Xue Yao smiled awkwardly, there is no way, anyone who sees such a thing may not be able to restrain the desire to touch it, and if those historians and archaeologists see it, they will probably go crazy.

"There are characters here," Chen Gui said, pointing to a blank space next to the stone carving pattern.

These fonts are all pre-Qin characters. With Ling Tao's half-assed characters, he can barely recognize what is written on them even after a guess.

There are not many fonts, it is probably a paragraph, and it is a bit like a poem, which roughly means "Born to be a general, sweeping the world for decades, hundreds of thousands of souls roaring, I am indifferent, the sword comes out and drinks blood without regret, the king of the world Great, there are only a few who are worthy of the first battle, the destiny is theirs, and they will fight endlessly for the rest of their lives. My emperor has pity on them, they will be born here and buried here, and those who dare to trespass will die"!
Although it was only a sentence left on the stone inscription, the last dead word is scary. Although I don't know how many years ago these words were left, Ling Tao still has a feeling of unwillingness to disobey, as if he had crossed the border. There was a person in time and space staring at him coldly.

"It's scary. It's already confirmed that this should be someone's tomb in ancient times. Although I haven't seen the entrance and detailed introduction, the owner of the tomb must be a high-ranking person, and it's possible for princes and generals." Xue Yao lamented road.

Ling Tao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It can be seen that the owner of this tomb must be a peerless general. As mentioned above, he has fought all his life, and few people can fight him, and what is mentioned above? , must be thought to be the general who opened up the frontier and hunted the land, but I don’t know who it is.”

"Ahem..., no matter who it is, how are we doing now? I feel like I can't breathe anymore," Chen Gui said with difficulty breathing, taking a breath was very laborious.

At this time, they had no way out, the entrance to the exit had been sealed, so they could only move forward and enter the so-called mausoleum. However, the entrance of the mausoleum could not be seen, and there was simply no way forward or backward.

"The layout of this mausoleum is ingenious. I don't know how many terrible organs are waiting for us. Now that this painting has appeared, it must be reminding us of something. Especially, this sentence begins with life and ends with death. Life and death are Not reminding us of something"?Ling Tao stared at that passage and said.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xue Yao and Chen Gui and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to take a gamble?"
"What to bet"?Chen Gui was surprised.

"The bet on the words life and death is the mechanism that opens the entrance to the mausoleum. If the bet is correct, we may be able to live longer. If the bet is wrong, we can only be trapped and die here," Ling Tao said in a deep voice.

"Do we still have a choice? There is no way out, we can only gamble and see if we can move forward," Xue Yao nodded.

No need to say anything, Ling Tao came to that paragraph of text, took a deep breath, maximized his senses, and waited for the flowing sword on his wrist, then stretched out his hand to touch the two words carefully, life and death.

Ling Tao's fingers slid along the strokes of the two characters, and finally his eyes lit up, and he found that these two characters engraved on the stone wall can actually be pressed down, and they fit perfectly with the stone wall. If you don't touch it, if you don't If Ling Tao's senses were super strong, he wouldn't be able to detect them at all.

"Which word is it?"Ling Tao hesitated, he could press both words, but it is conceivable that if the choice is wrong, there must be big/trouble in the future, and he might die here.

"The air is almost exhausted, let's make a decision, life or death, the other party may not have the idea of ​​killing them all, choose life, maybe you can't enter the mausoleum, but maybe there should be a way out," Xue Yao said with a wry smile.

These words are not only her guesses, but also her fantasy, but the situation at this time can only comfort herself in this way.

Ling Tao's finger stopped on the new character, but after hesitating for a moment, he put it on the last dead character and pressed it down!

Hum..., when Ling Tao pressed this word, the whole wall shook, the interior rumbled, the whole cave trembled, and even dust and small stones fell from the top.

"Looks like I made the right choice. I put it to death and survived. The ancients liked to play such tricks," Ling Tao laughed.

Then, under the stunned gaze of the three of them, the entire wall in front of it shook, and shrank inwards. The surroundings were so brilliant that it was impossible to see how it was done. It was a hell of a thing.

"Is the mausoleum in front of you? It's so ingenious, it's so ingenious, there's air, so you don't have to die, huh..., I'm afraid, only the Mohist mechanism in ancient legends can do this, think of the owner of the tomb It is not impossible to find someone from the Mohist family to arrange the mausoleum," Chen Gui said with wide-eyed eyes.

At this moment, the three of them were extremely excited and looking forward to it. How could they not be excited that the things that had been buried for thousands of years were about to be revealed before their eyes.

However, things often turn out to be the worst at the happiest time. After the stone wall retracted for 20 meters, it sank abruptly. There was no so-called mausoleum entrance, but the fallen stone wall was covered with Small holes the size of a thumb are densely packed like a honeycomb.

"No, it's over," Chen Gui exclaimed subconsciously.

Then, there was a crackling sound inside the honeycomb-shaped stone wall, and in the next moment, amidst the whistling sound, a piece of bronze crossbow bolts shot out, which was at least three times more powerful than the crossbow bolts in the cave before, and could already It's as powerful as a bullet.

Swish... Ling Tao, who had been waiting for the battle for a long time, waved the Flowing Sword in his hand without hesitation. The body of the sword turned into a cold light, and with the sound of tinkling, he blocked or cut off the incoming crossbow arrows.

The damn thing is, the surrounding area of ​​this hole is bare, and it is impossible to even find a place to hide or find something to block it.

The crossbow arrows were so densely packed that it was extremely difficult for Ling Tao to resist them.

"Back, back, although the road behind is blocked by collapsed rocks, there is a turning point there, where you can temporarily avoid these crossbow arrows," Ling Tao said in a deep voice while waving the Flowing Sword.

The three of them retreated slowly, and the sound of clanging could be heard endlessly. Although there were countless crossbow arrows, Ling Tao only needed to block a small place. Moreover, although these crossbow arrows were powerful enough, they did not have the speed of bullets. The crossbow arrows roared like bullets, and he would also be beaten into a hornet's nest.

However, they only took two steps back when the ground trembled, and amidst the chirping sound, the bronze spikes that had appeared before suddenly appeared again. Caught off guard, one of Chen Gui's legs was directly pierced, and even his hand was also pierced. Being penetrated, the whole person was nailed to the ground and could not move.

And at this critical moment, Ling Tao turned the Flowing Sword in his hand, and while resisting the crossbow arrows, he cut off the spikes under his feet with a chichi sound, and pulled with the other hand, which prevented Xue Yao from being stabbed. wear fate.

"Hurry up and leave me alone, or everyone will die here," Chen Gui shouted. At this time, half of his body was pierced by the spikes and he couldn't move. The whole man was pierced, and the point of the thorn protruded from the top of his head.

"Brother Chen..." Xue Yao exclaimed, her eyes turned red.

"Go..." Ling Tao said in a deep voice, his right hand turned into an afterimage, and the flowing sword in his hand turned into a light curtain, blocking the crossbow arrows clangingly, and at the same time cutting off the bronze spikes blocking the way, the situation was extremely critical.

However, it is unknown who owns the tomb, and the crisis does not end there. The ceiling above trembles, dust and stone chips fall down, and the entire top is sinking. Soon Ling Tao and Xue Yao will be killed. Pressed into a meat paste, the roof of the cave, which weighs an unknown number of tons, is pressed down, and no one can bear it.

"Hmph, let me die, it's impossible." Ling Tao was aroused to be competitive, and he snorted coldly. The water was rushing like a rush, blocking all the crossbow arrows.

At the same time, Ling Tao didn't care too much, hugged Xue Yao's waist, stomped his feet, and rushed to the outside sideways, waving the flowing sword in his hand, and the bronze spikes in front of him were pierced by him one by one. Kick off.

Bang... Ling Tao and Xue Yao fell to the ground, and there was a rumble behind them. The boulder above the cave roof was pressed down, completely blocking the previous place.

At this time, the spikes on the ground were completely pressed under the boulder, and the crossbow arrows inside also stopped, and the sinking was blocked by the boulder.

Turning around to look at the fallen boulder, Ling Tao smiled wryly and said, "Is this the legendary stone that separates the world from the world... Huh..."?
