Chapter 254 Tomb Chamber Mechanism
Chapter 254 Tomb Chamber Mechanism
Most of the evil corpses attacked those who were fleeing, leaving only the two largest ones still staring at Ning Ji and Si He, but they were still wary of the aura in the tomb and did not dare to approach.
Ning Ji glanced at the melee not far away and saw that it had not affected this side. He then picked up some fallen swords from the ground and threw them into the tomb.
boom!
Snapped!
After the sword was thrown into the tomb, it did not trigger any mechanism and remained very quiet. Ning Ji then slowly retreated into the tomb with Si He.
The two evil corpses roared even louder, but they didn't dare to go in.
The light in the tomb was dimmer than outside because there were not many night-shining pearls hanging on the rock wall, only four, one in each corner, and the night-shining pearls were covered with a thick layer of dust, which blocked most of the light.
Just as the two of them stepped into the tomb, several other people were forced to hide in as well.
At this time, several people had fled to the tomb passage on the cave, and several people died under the siege of the zombies. The remaining people had no choice but to come in, otherwise they would have died under the siege of the zombies.
Hearing the noise, Ning Ji and Si He glanced at the people who came in, then looked at the situation outside the tomb, and ignored them for the time being.
"What, what should we do? Senior brothers are dead!"
"Rest for a while first. Those evil corpses dare not come in. We can take a breath and then find a way out."
"Sun Tian and the others are such bastards! They actually left us and ran away without a word! If they hadn't fled rashly, my brother and the others wouldn't have died!"
"If we had known it was so dangerous, we shouldn't have come..."
……
The few people who escaped were still in fear. They looked at the corpse outside vigilantly, and were also on guard against the situation in the tomb, talking in low voices.
When they saw the man and woman in the tomb looking for something, they gradually shut up. They were confused, but also surprised at how well they knew about the tomb. After all, they had seen how skillfully the woman opened the tomb door before.
At this moment, Ning Ji took a torch and lit the oil lamps on the rock wall. In addition to the night-shining pearls, there were oil lamps at regular intervals on the rock wall that could be lit.
As Ning Ji gradually lit several oil lamps, the tomb gradually became brighter.
The few people who came in couldn't help but start looking around the tomb.
This tomb chamber is very empty and square, with nothing in it. It doesn't look like a tomb at all. After all, there is not even a coffin or any burial objects here, but the evil aura is everywhere, which is very weird.
However, there are many murals on the rock walls, all of which are scenes of ancient sacrifices. In addition, there are some runes of suppression. There are not many of these runes, but the range of their carving is very wide, distributed in four different directions, which are particularly conspicuous. They are obviously suppressing the things in the tomb, which looks even more weird.
Si He carefully scanned the tomb and finally found two sun symbols, one on the rock wall directly in front, and the other on the top of the tomb, just like the Tianshan ancient tomb.
She remembered that Old Man Jiang had pressed the mechanism on the tomb's roof to open the door. The mechanism on the rock wall might reveal the sealed coffin within the tomb, but it would also trigger a mechanism, which could be dangerous.
She whispered her guess to Ning Ji and didn't act rashly. Moreover, the ancient tomb of Tianshan required blood to activate the mechanism, but that might not be the case here.
Ning Ji looked at the two sun symbols, then took her hand and slowly walked around the tomb, carefully checking everything here, but did not activate the mechanism immediately.
When the people at the door of the tomb saw two people wandering around inside, they all guessed that they were looking for hidden mechanisms and wanted to find the treasure in the tomb.
In this regard, they are also happy to see the two play as forwards, so that they can take advantage of the situation. Anyway, they cannot go out for the time being.
Ning Ji and Si He walked around the tomb and indeed found some tiny holes on the rock wall. It was not difficult to guess that as long as the mechanism was triggered, these holes would project out something harmful.
Si He whispered to him that before in the Tianshan ancient tomb, the mechanism was used to fire some short arrows or hidden weapons.
However, the hole in this tomb is too small, so there would be no short arrows. Perhaps it was something else.
Roar~Roar~
The roars of the ferocious corpses outside could be heard from time to time, echoing in the tomb, making it even more eerie and terrifying.
"Hey! How long are you going to find me? The situation is critical right now, so it would be wise to find a way to leave here as soon as possible."
At this moment, one man couldn't help but speak up. He wanted to leave rather than search for treasure. Not everyone valued property that much, especially with so many dead and the dead still surrounding them. He didn't have the ability to break out, but seeing the man and woman's nonchalant treasure hunt, they must have some skills, so he wanted them to take the lead.
However, Ning Ji and Si He ignored his question.
"Hey……"
The man was displeased and just spoke again, he saw two people standing next to a rock wall, and the man suddenly threw the fire stick in his hand at a rock wall in the middle of the tomb.
boom!
A loud bang startled them all, and they immediately looked over there vigilantly. After the fire stick fell to the ground, a sudden noise came from the tomb.
Click, click, click—
It sounded like a mechanism being activated. They had never imagined that the two men had actually found the treasure hiding spot?!
But the next moment, the tomb door next to it suddenly slammed shut!
The noise scared them all and they thought to themselves that it was bad, but it was too late to do anything because they were all trapped in the tomb!
Immediately afterwards, a faint gas emerged from the rock wall in the tomb chamber. It was like an unpleasant stench of decay, mixed with a strange smell, and it was very smelly.
Ning Ji immediately took out the medicine bottle, poured out two detoxifying pills, and had him and Si He take one each. Then they took out a cloth soaked in medicine and covered their faces to at least block out some of the stench.
After putting on the cloth, Si He tried her best to hold her breath. The smell was too bad. She didn't expect that this mechanism could actually emit foul odor!
Ugh~
Not far away, some of those people couldn't stand it anymore and started retching.
Now, they all realized that this was triggering the mechanism in the tomb, not finding the treasure!
They were so angry that they wanted to curse, but when they opened their mouths, the stench was unbearable. They immediately didn't want to speak for fear of inhaling more of the stench, and this smell was definitely poisonous!
At this moment, the huge floor tiles in the middle of the tomb suddenly opened, revealing a rectangular pit, and then a sarcophagus slowly rose!
Ning Ji and Si He were not surprised, this was within expectations.
But the people near the tomb door were shocked!
They really didn't expect that a coffin would rise!
This scene was so weird that it made their hair stand on end!
