It's the beast-headed monster that ran out of the sarcophagus!

I tried my best to swim up to the surface. Fortunately, the liquid soaked below was not a highly toxic chemical liquid. Otherwise, if I were not eaten by the monster, I would also be poisoned by this inexplicable liquid.

I swam to the shore, wrung out the wet clothes on my body, and observed the surrounding environment.

Corresponding to the entrance of the sarcophagus is a pool. The water in the pool is not clear. It is blue and translucent. It looks like a large pool of jelly. However, the "jelly" in this pool is not only not sweet, but also has a pungent taste.

The smell is a bit like the disinfectant water in a hospital.

I took out the flashlight from the waterproof bag in my backpack to illuminate the pool, squatted by the pool and looked inside.

Suddenly I broke out in a cold sweat.

This isn't a pool, it's just a huge petri dish.

Under the blue gelatinous liquid are all beast-headed monsters that look exactly the same. They are crowded together and fill the entire pool. As long as I sink a little deeper, I can step on these monsters with my feet.

I suddenly panicked. Could it be that Liu Sa and Er Pang were dragged into the water by these monsters?

I used the flashlight again and deliberately shined the light on the monsters' faces. They remained indifferent and closed their eyes quietly, as if they had been sleeping for a long time and showed no signs of waking up.

This is very strange. What kind of monsters are these? Why are they here? And who put them here?

The most important thing is where did Er Pang and Liu Sa go? At least they must have encountered something, otherwise how could they have jumped off one after another and there was no news from either of them?

This seemed to be one of the chambers in the mausoleum. Behind me was a corridor that should lead to somewhere. The light of the flashlight could not illuminate the entire corridor, and it was still pitch black at the end.

I was a little hesitant, whether to walk forward and try to find Liu Sa and Er Pang, or to study the monster under the pool again.

According to the characters of Liu Sa and Er Pang, they shouldn't leave alone after jumping down. If I go forward, if the two of them encounter danger, I will probably lose the best chance to rescue them.

But even my jumping down didn't trigger any mechanism. Will they have any accidents?

When I was struggling in my heart, I suddenly noticed that the monsters underwater seemed to be moving.

I immediately shone the light carefully and found that there was nothing strange at all, but I noticed that the monsters had very strange symbols on them.

After careful observation, I found that these symbols were exactly the same as the inscriptions on the sarcophagus.

In other words, the inscriptions carved on the sarcophagus were probably used to suppress these monsters.

The question is, what are these monsters?

It's impossible to draw a conclusion just by observing from a distance. Now I can only take risks and go down to fight those monsters.

I packed up the ceremony and took out the diving goggles and swimming hat from my backpack. I knew in advance that the archaeological target this time was in the Yangtze River Basin, and I was ready to do underwater archaeological work, but I never expected that our final target would actually be

It really has something to do with sea eyes.

I held my breath and jumped into the water. The closer I got to those monsters, the more frightened I became, fearing that they would suddenly come to life, attack in groups, and tear me into pieces.

But when I really swam close to those dense groups of monsters, I realized that these monsters were all dead, or rather dead in the water.

I found that there were obviously vacancies in several places, which meant that monsters had indeed escaped from here. I roughly counted them, and they basically matched the number in my mind.

In other words, the ghost hands under the ice and the monsters that jumped out of the sarcophagus all escaped from here.

But in their current state, unless outsiders intervene, there is basically no possibility of waking up and leaving the water on their own.

I can basically judge that these blue liquids are harmless to humans, but will restrain these monsters.

I observed one of the monsters closely and found that something seemed to be moving in its throat.

I suddenly became nervous, and after being in a stalemate with it for a while, I found that the thing in its throat seemed not to be the same thing as the monster, but more like the monster holding a living thing in its mouth.

I cautiously stretched out my hand and pinched the lower jaw of the monster's mouth, and the monster opened its mouth slightly. I shined a flashlight on it, and I actually saw a parasite ovulating in the monster's mouth!

I was so shocked that I almost couldn't hold my breath and choked on the disgusting liquid.

Not daring to delay any longer, I hurriedly swam out of the water for air and spit out the liquid in my mouth.

What was spat out was half-black and half-white hair mixed in the liquid.

I identified it and found that it should be human hair, and it was the hair of an elderly person. The white top and black bottom indicated that the person was older, but not particularly old, at least he was a living person.

It is very possible that this person is the culprit who released this monster.

I hesitated for a while, considering whether to go into the water again to look for Liu Sa and Er Pang.

Suddenly I vaguely heard someone talking. The voice was very small and far away, but judging from the direction of the sound source, it should be only a wall away from me.

I'm overjoyed.

There are only three possibilities for this situation. One is that the voice comes from Er Pang and Liu Sa, so I don’t have to look for them hard;

One is that the voice belongs to a member of the archaeological team. In this case, Professor Jiang and Shang Qingyun are nearby. Not to mention Shang Qingyun, Professor Jiang is also a leader in the archaeological field. With them here, it is better than searching for Liu Sa and Er Pang alone.

Much simpler.

There is also a possibility that the people speaking are from another group of people who came to visit the tomb.

Now I can only feel my way down the corridor in search of someone.

I held the flashlight and sneaked carefully. The corridor here was very clean and there were no burial objects. Unlike the place I passed before, which was full of utensils.

Not only that, except for the strange ear chamber where I just fell into the water, the corridor leads straight forward without any detours or ear chambers.

Only the voice that spoke was getting closer and closer.

But the closer the sound got, the more uneasy I became.

Especially when I heard the form and content of the sound clearly, I began to realize that something was wrong.

That's not the sound of human speech at all.

Rather, it is like the eulogy songs sung during ancient sacrifices, which are solemn and solemn and directly touch the hearts of the people.

As the space at the end of the corridor gradually expands, the line of sight gradually becomes brighter.

I was shocked by the scene before me.

It was a very majestic underground palace that I could never imagine.

At my feet was a cliff, and below was a deep pool. I saw countless skeletons floating on the water, and these skeletons were more or less rotten.

I immediately understood that the deep pool below was a truly corrosive liquid. Once a person fell into the water, he would turn into bones in a matter of seconds.

I also saw a dark shadow flashing under the water. I guessed it was some kind of deep-sea fish that was not afraid of this kind of liquid.

But what frightened me the most was the chain connecting the cliff where I was.

This chain is only as wide as a human forearm, and it seems to be swaying and extremely unstable.

Maybe even an average child's weight wouldn't be able to handle it.

The end of the iron cable is a platform isolated in the water.

It is like a giant awl made of stone, with the tip inserted straight into the water, and on the top plane is a huge coffin made of pure jade. The size of this coffin is several times larger than ordinary coffins, let alone holding a

People, even pretending to be ten people is more than enough.

I also observed several other chains connecting the island, and there were murals painted on the walls at their ends.

The place I am located is not the main entrance leading to the tomb here, but a small opening opened from the cliff connected to the chain. It seems that the people who built the tomb in ancient times had a conscious thought and opened an escape passage.

, but I don’t understand why the end of the escape tunnel is a pool for cultivating monsters.

The problem left for me now is how to reach the island in the middle, or how to get out.

In fact, the most conservative answer is that I go back the way I came, and then go back to the pool to find the answer, and maybe I can meet Shang Qingyun and the others.

In addition, there is another strange thing, that is, when I walked out of the corridor and came to the narrow platform on the cliff, the voice that sounded like talking and singing suddenly disappeared.

This makes me feel very creepy.

I squatted down and checked the iron rope in front of me. This iron rope was already rusty. However, I found that after the three iron ropes to the left, the fourth iron rope had a bright luster and should be very strong.

I gave up the idea of ​​going directly from the iron rope to the platform, and moved against the wall, little by little, along the platform that was half a foot wide at the edge of the wall.

Behind you are an abyss and a man-eating pool. Even if you take the plank road in Mount Emei, there will be a protective rope tied around your waist.

But now I have to walk along a platform that is only half the width of a foot without any protection.

This is a very physically and mentally demanding thing, and you need to be careful at all times. If you are not careful, you may die without a burial place.

At the same time, I am still paying attention to the murals on the walls to see if they can bring me some new revelations.

And I gradually discovered that the murals here can be said to be a supplement to the unfinished story in the inscriptions on the corona, and completely solved all the questions in my mind when reading the inscriptions.

The first is why the women of Osi Country want to leave Limu.

In fact, the earliest ancestor of the Osi Kingdom, the woman that Li Mu loved, learned the art of animal husbandry, which she stole from Li Mu.

It is said that Limu was just a herdsman at first. One day he met an injured dragon horse by the river. This dragon horse was a sacred object. In order to repay Limu, he gave him a dragon horse skin, which is Sansang from Osi Kingdom.

The river map obtained from the sacred tree.

This river map is amazing. Different people can see different things from the river map.

Limu learned how to control the beasts from the river map.

And the woman learned how to raise silkworms and the art of voodoo.

I thought to myself, why does this river map sound a bit like Captain Jack Sparrow's Compass?

After the woman stole the river map, she led her people to flee to a foreign country.
