Seeing the beetles rushing over at our feet, we hurriedly retreated, but just after taking a few steps, Yuanxiao suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't retreat! There are also behind!"

When we looked closely, not only behind, but also countless black beetles as big as eggs crawled out of the bodies of all the lamp slaves. For a moment, the ground of the entire tomb room seemed to have been poured into a large bucket of ink, and the black spread rapidly on the floor of the tomb room.

What's even more terrifying is that these beetles seemed to have identified our location and began to gather at our feet.

We didn't dare to stop and started running away in a hurry.

The second uncle said loudly: "Let's run along the tomb wall, find the exit of the tomb chamber, and rush out quickly."

So we started running quickly along the tomb wall. After running for a while, Yuanxiao shouted, "Ah!" We quickly looked back and saw that at some point a beetle had climbed onto Yuanxiao's pants and attacked Yuanxiao's thighs.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!" Yuanxiao shouted and knocked out the beetle with a short knife. "Oh my, this thing hurts so much!" As he said that, Yuanxiao cut off with a knife, and the beetle was cut off and a stream of yellow water flowed out.

Wen Mo walked over and raised it with a knife to look at it, and frowned.

When the second uncle saw Yuanxiao and Wenmo, he stopped and remembered to stamp his feet, "Don't study it! Run away quickly!"

The two hurriedly followed us, and I ran and asked Wenmo: "Boss, what kind of bug is that?"

Wen Mo took a deep breath and said, "This beetle, called the King Kong beetle, is very fierce and aggressive, and is often found in the northern grasslands. But I think it's such a big one, it's the first time I have seen this beetle. This beetle has a pair of big claws, which are very strong and can break branches. Such a big one here must have a greater strength." Then he said to Yuanxiao, "What it used to attack you just now should not be the mouth, but the pair of claws."

I followed Wenmo tightly and continued to ask, "What's the danger of this beetle?"

Wen Mo said: "It is not dangerous if there is only one, or only a small number of beetles, but if there are so many and so large, it is very dangerous. Once it is besieged by them, it will be torn apart soon. These beetles should be attracted by the white smoke. I really don't know how many diamond beetles are hidden here!"

Wen Mo's explanation made me frightened. We stopped talking and began to run hard, but we ran for a long time but didn't find any explanation at all.

Zhou Cheng reached out to stop us and said breathlessly: "No, don't run away, there is a problem. According to my estimate, we should have run a lap a long time ago, but there is no other exit except the sealed stone gate we saw when we first came down."

Yuanxiao was so tired that she was out of breath, "Brother Cheng, you won't make a mistake, right? Why don't we run away?"

Zhou Cheng waved his hand, "Absolutely, the error between the distance measured with steps and the actual distance will not exceed 2%. With the speed we just now and the time we took, we have run at least a lap and a half."

When the second uncle heard Zhou Cheng say this, he was stunned, "Can you say..."

Wen Mo nodded and said, "Yes, there is no exit here!"

When we heard Wen Mo's statement, we felt panic. I suggested: "Let's go down to the thief hole. Even if we give up this action, it would be much better than feeding bugs here!"

Everyone agreed with me and began to approach the thief hole, but we were only halfway through and could not move forward. More and more diamond beetles had completely occupied the area below the thief hole.

Moreover, there were a large number of beetles crawling out of the thief hole. I don’t know where they were just hiding. In short, we can’t retreat to the thief hole anymore, we have no way out!

If we force ourselves to rush over, we will probably fall into the pile of beetles and will never get up again. Besides, we don’t know how many there are in the thieves, so we must have fallen into the trap in the past.

Just when I was at a loss, Wen Mo said loudly: "Listen to everyone, everyone runs away to avoid being surrounded by beetles. Everyone finds a pillar, turn off the flashlight in their hands, and then climbs up the stone pillar. Quick!"

Although we don’t know what Wen Mo’s intention was to do this, we don’t have time to ask more questions at this moment, and we hurriedly followed Wen Mo’s instructions and acted separately.

We jumped over the piles of insects, and sometimes we had to withstand the attack of the beetle turtle. I knocked off the beetles that crawled on me one by one, enduring the pain of being attacked by the beetle turtle.

Finally I came to the edge of a stone pillar, but there was a lamp slave next to the stone pillar. This place can be regarded as the source of the diamond beetle and the most dense place with beetles. Although I was close to the stone pillar, I could no longer get close to it.

Wen Mo's voice came again, "You can use the light source to attract the beetle's attention." As he was speaking, he threw the Leng Fireworks over.

The light bursting out by the cold fireworks looks very bright and even dazzling in such a dark place.

It's strange that when the beetles saw the glowing cold fireworks, they couldn't wait to surround them.

Yuanxiao said "tsk" and said, "Hey, this method is good, it really works!"

Wen Mo explained: "This beetle is naturally phototaxis, and they will approach places with light."

So that's it! I took advantage of the beetle under the stone pillar starting to move towards the light source, and I took the lead, turned off the flashlight, and climbed up with all my strength.

Some parts of the stone pillar were carved very deeply, and there were many footholds and focus points, and it was not as difficult as I imagined to climb up. I stabilized my body on the stone pillar, and then took out a few glow sticks and cold fireworks from my bag, opened and threw them down.

The other four people were doing similar things. For a moment, the ground in the tomb was illuminated very brightly, and I was also frightened to find that the ground under our feet seemed to have turned into a pool of black water. The "black water" composed of diamond beetles was surging on the ground. Where there was a light source, it would soon be engulfed by the surging beetles. The whole scene was both shocking and terrifying.

Uncle Er told everyone that if they climbed onto the stone pillar, they would greet each other and soon received a response from the other four of us. It seemed that everyone had climbed up safely.

Although we are temporarily safe at this time, this is not a long-term solution. We can't stay on the stone pillar all the time. Needless to say, we will definitely not be able to hold on if we fail for a day. Once we make a mistake, we will immediately turn into beetle food. And it will be torn to pieces. It feels miserable if we think about it!

I couldn't help but shouted in a hurry: "What's going on! How could there be so many such things! Who would put so many bugs into his tomb? His uncle's Xu Fu! Take this method!"

Responding to me was a silence, and everyone was a little desperate.

After a while, Wen Mo said, "I think we have all been trapped. This room is not a tomb at all. It should be just a trap."

When I heard this, I was stunned. Uncle Er asked, "Wen Mo, what is Yi Si?"

"Have you ever heard of the Shadow Palace?" Wen Mo's voice came again.

"You mean, this is a Shadow Hall?" Uncle Second was surprised and heard from the darkness again. "I just heard of it. I didn't expect it to be like this here. I thought no one would really go to Shadow Hall to repair things."

We were confused when we heard this, and Lanxiao said loudly: "I'll say two, can we share information? Please explain it clearly. What is the Shadow Palace?"

Uncle Er told us that this Shadow Hall is a way to build a tomb and an anti-theft method. However, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you must be careful not to let the Shadow Hall affect the Feng Shui pattern of the original tomb. Therefore, this method has high requirements for the tomb builders. In the Shadow Hall, there are generally some layouts and decorations that are symmetrical to the original tomb chamber, otherwise it will affect the direction of the original tomb qi. For example, the stone tablets, cloud pattern tripods and stone platforms hanging upside down on the tomb top above us. In the original tomb chamber, there must be the same thing, but they must be placed normally on the ground.

Uncle Er was a little annoyed, "Actually, we should have thought of it for a long time. This is just a shadow hall that has only read some related records from ancient books, but it is really the first time I have seen it. Alas, I was negligent, negligent, no wonder we were surrounded by the Yinming Snake Vine at the top of the hill, so we could only shoot a thief hole from there to get to the tomb, so we would definitely come to this tomb room. No wonder there is no carving on the cloud pattern tripod or the stone tablet. It is unnecessary, it is all fake here!"

I really admire Xu Fu's scheming, and he actually set up this anti-theft trap step by step so precisely. I asked Uncle Er: "Uncle Er, do we have a way to go out?"

The second uncle smiled bitterly, "I just said that it takes time and effort to build this kind of shadow hall. Once it is built, it can be placed on the necessary path to enter the tomb. People who fight back will have no way to prevent it and will inevitably be hit. Even if they find a problem after entering, it will be too late. Once this kind of shadow hall comes in, don't think about going out again. Because there is enough space here to place any possible mechanism."

My heart suddenly sank, "Don't you, second uncle, do you mean, can't we get out?"

When I heard my question, Uncle II was silent for a long time before he said something to comfort us, "At least it's like this now!"

When Lantern Festival heard this, she wailed, "Hey! I missed my reputation as Tang Yuanding for a lifetime, but I didn't expect to die in such a place today! I'm not willing to give up!"

My mood is also very bad, but my personality will never sit back and wait for death. I shouted to Lanxiao: "Your uncle's Lanxiao! Don't howl!"

Yuanxiao replied: "What are you doing? You won't let me sigh before you die!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Even if you die, you have to fight again. It's too frustrating to wait for death like this!"
