Chapter 1609: The calm before the storm
When the door of the tomb was opened, the scorpion appeared. Naturally, you had to be careful on the way back as this strange insect suddenly crawled out from under your feet.
It would be terrible if they bite you.
"It doesn't matter, everyone, stay close together. Scorpions will not attack people actively, as long as they don't step on them."
Since these four people are the only ones left in the team, we can only work together.
After Lin Ran finished speaking, he walked into the tomb first.
After passing through a short tomb passage, Lin Ran noticed something.
The entire passage is showing a downward trend, and they are now moving underground again.
It's strange to say that in this tomb, they first moved from the underground to the ground, and then moved down again.
Now that I have turned back several times, I can no longer remember whether I am going down or up.
But there is only one way, and we can only move forward bravely.
Soon we came to a quaint tomb.
Compared with the previous tomb, the feeling here seems more chronological, and the inside is particularly vicissitudes of life.
The walls are full of mottled spots and some scratches.
On both sides of the wall, there were a completely countless number of skeletons.
And not just human skeletons, but horse skeletons as well.
Until their death, these skeletons were mounted on horses.
Having seen too many corpses, skeletons no longer make them feel any fear.
Then Liu Jingfeng appeared next to Lin Ran and asked, "These skeletons feel strange. Are they cavalry?"
Lin Ran nodded, he also felt that this should be an army establishment.
The tomb was relatively narrow, so it was easier for him to check the condition of the skeletons next to it.
I originally thought that the horses these skeletons were riding were the strange horses that I had just seen on the stone slab.
It has been suggested before that the feet of this strange horse are very large and have long toes.
But the skeleton horse inside has no signs of toes. No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary horse.
"It's strange. Could it be that the previous mural was just a mystery?" Lin Ran checked several skeletons, all of which were riding ordinary horses.
But no one could answer his question, and Lin Ran just raised the question.
Of course, their progress has still slowed down a lot.
Who knows what strange traps there are in this ancient tomb, I can only move forward step by step and slowly.
The tomb was very dark, as if it contained huge danger.
But they walked for more than ten minutes without encountering any traps.
The mounts of the cavalry were ordinary horses, which was nothing new.
But Lin Ran had a very strange feeling in his heart, that something was wrong.
And behind each cavalryman, there is a strange stone hanging on it.
It is completely transparent and looks like glass. It will reflect light when you shine it with a flashlight.
It doesn't look particularly luxurious, but when placed next to these skeleton knights, it looks a bit awkward.
Moreover, the entire tomb is constantly spreading forward, taking on the shape of a funnel, and it looks very spectacular.
After walking forward for a while, I found two special knights appearing in front of the road.
They were like guarding the gate. They were all covered in armor. They were about two meters tall and extremely large. The swords they held were taller than Lin Ran, giving people a sense of oppression.
They didn't dare to continue walking past, always feeling as if they would suddenly come to life when they got close, and then chop off the heads of those who passed.
But he couldn't stay where he was. Looking at them from a distance, Lin Ran sighed in his heart.
Then I threw the backpack directly over, trying to see if there was a system similar to infrared sensing.
However, after the backpack landed, the armored knight did not make any movement.
Lin Ran did not pass by rashly, but came to a closer place and observed the two armors in front of him.
Different from the other knights, they were also equipped with equipment, while the other knights only left skeletons.
"This is so spectacular." Lin Ran had to sigh. If there were really skeletons inside, how big would this soldier be?
The scene in front of you should not attract his attention.
Finally, I mustered up the courage to go through, and the strange scene I imagined did not appear.
"It should be fine." Lin Ran walked to the exit and looked back at the three of them.
The three of them had their hearts in their throats, thinking that Lin Ran's head would be chopped off.
But if this scene really happens, it's unclear how they will go next.
Fortunately, everything is just their fantasy.
Lin Ran looked at their frightened expressions and smiled slightly: "What are you thinking about? Come here quickly."
Others will naturally not delay. Since there is nothing to do, it is best to pass as soon as possible.
As they passed through, they were still a little worried and stared at the armor, fearing that the armor would suddenly come to life when they passed by.
It wasn't until after it passed that Liu Jingfeng couldn't help but sigh: "The design here is really amazing."
After visiting the tomb for many years, no ancient tomb has ever made him so frightened.
Most of the ancient tombs are buried underground at most, so building an underground palace is really a big deal.
This is basically the size of an underwater town, with such a huge space that even the ancient cities we encountered before are inferior.
Liu Jingfeng also lamented that during this year of archeology, he had experienced more visits to tombs than he had accumulated in the past 30 years.
"Can an ordinary country really afford such a project?" Liu Jingfeng couldn't help but ask.
According to the level of engineering in the 21st century, it may still be possible.
But such a time-consuming project was still used to build a mausoleum. If the people knew about it, they would definitely complain.
And most people think that dust will return to dust, and there is no need to spend a lot of time building tombs. Even in the later period, people began to practice water burial or tree burial, and scatter their ashes directly into the sea.
With the development of economy, people's ideas are constantly changing.
On the contrary, in ancient times when the economy was underdeveloped and full of superstitious ideas, people were more willing to spend time studying how to build high-end tombs.
This is the inevitable development of history and cannot be controlled by any person or force.
After passing the intersection, the rest of the road is basically safe.
Is there no trap set in this ancient tomb?
But I feel a little bit incomprehensible. If it is true as Qin Meng said, these tombs were built to prevent the monsters inside from escaping. Like bow and arrow tombs, the correct way to open them is to directly release cold arrows.
