Chapter 79: Coffin Mountain

We were completely intimidated by this huge death formation, hundreds of people... Oh my God, these coffins were lined up from who knows how many years ago!

I didn't want to move close to them at all, but there was no other way out of this funeral home, and most of the space was filled with coffins.

At this moment, I miss Brother Mouse so much. He has robbed tombs before, and now is the time when we need him! We are really at a loss with the coffin, what should we do next? There are definitely no gold or silver burial objects in it.

And we've seen too many skeletons. The temperature here shouldn't let them rot, so opening a museum doesn't seem necessary.

Doctor Lin supported the bottom row of coffins and climbed up. The ones on the right were stacked a bit like a pyramid.

I gritted my teeth and put the recovered saber on my waist, then stepped on the coffin board together, imitating Dr. Lin's movements and bent down there, groping for the bottom layer of the coffin above.

It seems... there is also a round hole. So these hundreds of coffins have the same design, are they all designed to drain the blood of the corpses inside?

"Don't touch it again."

Dr. Lin suddenly frowned and held down my arm. He took his hand out and saw that there were two holes in it and blood was dripping out.

"Scratched?" I asked with concern.

"It was punctured." He used a flashlight to illuminate the position of the round hole from bottom to top. "There are many thorns."

When I heard the word "thorn", I was very sensitive. Another thing written in the iron book appeared here?

I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, and found that the thorns protruded from the bottom and inserted into the round hole!

There are many thorns, growing on pipe-like columns. They look very much like the branches of rose vines or thorns, which is consistent with the description in the iron book.

Dr. Lin climbed some distance to the side and reported back: "All the coffins are exactly the same."

This phenomenon is a bit scary. The arrows in each coffin will pierce the heart of the deceased. The blood tank will drain the blood to the round hole. After exiting the hole, there will be a water pipe with thorns waiting there. It looks like a

It’s like a transportation system! The amount of blood in hundreds of corpses is not a small amount. Where do the designers of Deep Sea Funeral Home want the blood to go?

Looking at it as a whole, the barbed water pipes extend from bottom to top, so we can only see the source of these things at the bottom.

The young prince came over with dull eyes and helped us push several coffins near the ground——

It was not very heavy to push with the strength of four people. We moved the coffin one and a half meters from its original position, and then we discovered that the spiked water pipe was protruding from the ground, and it was pulled out from underneath as the coffin moved.

Come in a piece!

I took out my saber and carefully poked it a few times. The spikes were very sharp and hard, but the water pipe was tough and could be bent. I felt that there should be some soft material wrapped in its outer skin. I touched it gently with my hand.

When I touch it, it feels a little rough and has a familiar feeling.

"This thing is not man-made, it is alive."

Dr. Lin made this judgment, and then he squeezed out some blood from the pricked finger and dripped it on the sharp thorn tip——

The blood droplets did not fall along the smooth surface, but were gradually absorbed by the thorn tips!

I suddenly realized: "Damn, the purpose of inserting this thing into the coffin is to absorb the last blood flowing out of the dead body!"

"What do you need blood for? To supplement nutrition?" Gao Xiaoya helped her senior brother blow the wound on her finger distressedly, and suddenly said with a flash of inspiration, "The style of the coffin is man-made, the wizards deliberately let that thing drink

The blood was shed, and they were feeding it!"

I felt vaguely strange in my heart, so I pushed a few more coffins aside with everyone else, revealing a small open space in the middle.

It can be clearly seen that all the spiked water pipes are drilled from the ground, which means that there are at least hundreds of holes drilled in this place.

Fortunately, this is the North Pole, and the ground under our feet is very thick ice. Even if the source is below, we can still have a look at its ins and outs:

This room is not in the maze on the cloth, so the area below here is not the wizard's activity venue. The young prince took out another flashlight from his backpack, and together with the original one, they stuck it on the ground and illuminated the direction.

Underneath the darkness——

The sudden strong light instantly penetrated the darkness, revealing a large page under our feet before our eyes!

I shivered in shock. It turned out that the prickly water pipe was a plant!

Moreover, I have also seen the wide open look under my feet. It was the root system of the giant tree that our group saw when they fell from the World Tree into the Fish Cavity Tunnel!

What I saw at that time was only a small part of the huge root system. More roots were buried in the shining underwater desert and spread to farther and deeper places.

What none of us expected was that the World Tree, which everyone thought would never be seen again after bidding farewell to the iceberg, could actually branch off into another branch in the undersea desert and climb all the way here!

Fortunately, these are just roots, not small snake-like branches that can swim flexibly, otherwise everyone would not be alive at all right now.

I think the World Tree can no longer just be classified as a plant. It eats squid meat, dead people's blood, the body temperature of sea water and other weird things. It is clearly an omnivorous animal!

This kind of devotion after the death of wizards is quite in line with the spirit of the times. Green environmental protection promotes development! However, there are so many coffins used as fertilizer bags here that we can’t see the way forward at all! Could it be said that this is a dead end?

, if we want to leave, do we have to go back through the ice wall?

I turned to the left and saw Er Mao's body lying there, and turned to the right to see the black Arhat's coffin. At my feet were the roots of the World Tree. My old and new grudges were intertwined in my heart, and I was terribly depressed.

Quite frustrated, he sat down on the ground and let out a loud roar.

When I looked up, Dr. Lin was lighting the top with a flashlight. I found that the ice layer above my head was not a smooth plate, but was higher on one side and lower on the other like a step. There was a mistake on the top.

layer effect.

"Could our way out be at the top?!" I suddenly became energetic, "The wizard's metal workshop can climb up on the ladder, why can't we step on the coffin and walk up?"

Illuminating the top layer from this angle will leave a lot of dead spots and cast a lot of large shadows on it.

I encouraged myself, took away a flashlight, used the climbing skills I had practiced since childhood, and mustered up the courage to jump up to the pile of coffins like a monkey.

When I thought that what I was stepping on 50 centimeters below my feet was a skeleton corpse that had been drained of blood, I felt really weak in my ankles. But when I thought about the weirdo still fighting for his life or death outside, I gritted my teeth and stood up again.

I reached the top of the mountain of corpses made up of hundreds of coffins. It was so close to the ceiling that if I were taller, I could touch the ice with just one jump!

Standing in this position with a small view of the mountains, I can indeed see more things. The number of thorny tree roots drilled out of the ground is not equal to the number of coffins. The former is forty or fifty more than the latter, and they are somewhat mixed.

In the gap of the coffin mountain, it went around without passing through the coffin board, extending from the rear where we could not easily detect it to my side in the uppermost space.

Dr. Lin used to cast shadows because the ceiling had a split level, so when I stood at the highest point, the back of my head had to face an ice surface recessed from above. And those extra thorny trees

The roots dug forty or fifty small holes in that wall and extended to the back!

This is a significant discovery. In any case, this is not necessarily a dead end. At least there is another space above our heads!

I followed the example of the little prince who is very skilled in using flashlights. I raised my toes and passed the flashlight's light through the split-level blocks behind, hoping to see what else there was where the tree roots extended.

The tree roots that can reach upward are already very slender. These tenacious guys actually set up another small tree in front of me!

Although this one is small and thin, it is very dense. Although it is blurry, I can tell that there is no wizard's coffin there. It is difficult to understand why this one took the trouble to reach in.

I lowered my head and explained the situation to Dr. Lin. As soon as I relaxed my attention, the hair on the back of my neck stood up. I turned my body smartly and seemed to see something extra coming out of it!

It gradually approached me from a distance, and the light of the flashlight was intercepted by it, leaving behind a figure that made me extremely frightened!

Damn...it couldn't have been me who exposed everyone's location to the skeleton wizard with my flashlight!

I hurriedly pressed the switch on the flashlight. The second the light went out, I caught a glimpse of the figure walking from the room to the position across the wall from me. His outline showed that he raised his hands and put them close to each other.

directly in front of me, as if to attract my attention.

Don't... don't let me see you, don't see me! I turned off the flashlight, and the upper space immediately became dark. I stepped alone on the coffins of the dead, facing a middle man who opened his hand to me,

This scene is so weird and weird!

I took out my saber and held it tightly. Judging from the situation, he was alone. If he got out of the stairwell, I would slide the white knife in and the red knife out and push him down the coffin mountain!
