Chapter 259 Alive
"What's wrong with this bug?" Xiao Zhao asked.
"When it dies, its body quickly secretes toxins, which stick to the mucus and remain attached to the creature that steps on it."
Zhang Qiling explained,
"The toxin is colorless and odorless, and it slowly emits gas that corrodes the nerves."
He turned on the flashlight and took a few steps towards the group of stone pillars.
Qin Yuchen followed.
"We're going inside?"
Before the group of people could recover from what Zhang Qiling said, they saw the two of them walking straight in. Wang Kan just helped Boss Qian sit down, and then immediately helped him stand up, and caught up with Qin Yuchen with a group of people.
"Yeah." Zhang Qiling responded at the front.
Boss Qian glanced at Peng Zi behind him.
The compass in his hand was not affected by the magnetic field and was functioning normally. The direction they were heading in now was the direction in the message.
The direction is south.
Pengzi nodded to Boss Qian.
Boss Qian raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at Zhang Qiling a few more times.
When they went down underground, the nine people naturally let Qin Yuchen and Zhang Qiling lead the way. They didn't talk much and were very obedient.
Just as Boss Qian himself said, he understood the rules of Qin Yuchen's tomb.
The stone pillars are spread over a large area. The deeper you go, the denser they are. They all look similar, so it is easy to get lost.
The compass on Peng Zi's body was already spinning around, but Zhang Qiling and Qin Yuchen were very clear and could move freely among the stone pillars.
They followed the two people in front of them, paying attention to their feet from time to time.
They had not encountered the kind of insects that Zhang Qiling described, but they were encountering more and more white stripes.
They couldn't help but become alert and were very careful when they stepped on the ground, for fear that the thing would stick to the bottom of their shoes if they were not careful.
Boss Qian gritted his teeth, sucked in his stomach, and struggled to squeeze out of the gap.
As soon as I went out, I found that everyone except the two people who led the way was standing there in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Boss Qian pushed aside the people blocking his way and squeezed to the front.
As soon as he stood still, his eyes widened when he saw the scene illuminated by the unburned light.
"Boss, we found it!"
The lights went out, and Wang Kan quickly fired another shot into the air, saying excitedly.
They were now standing on the edge of a cliff.
At the foot of the cliff is a very complete and ingeniously constructed underground palace that is no different from the Forbidden City.
It is so large that even under the illumination of the lights, it is still difficult to see its entirety.
"Hahaha!! The news is indeed correct!" Boss Qian couldn't stop laughing. He hugged a group of people around him to celebrate the victory.
Unlike a group of people who were immersed in excitement, Qin Yuchen and Zhang Qiling had already found a way down.
Qin Yuchen kicked the person closest to him as a warning, and when the person looked over, he grabbed the rope and slid down the cliff.
"Let's go, let's go down!"
The man immediately reminded the others, found a few places to fix the ropes, and quickly followed Qin Yuchen and the others down.
The two men landed on the roof and heard the sound of wood cracking, and quickly jumped down from the roof.
They were still outside the city gate, but they could already feel its grandeur.
The surrounding houses are magnificent, solemn and gorgeous.
From the carvings on the doors, windows, beams and pillars, we can clearly see the prowess of the skilled craftsmen in ancient times.
Walk through this area of houses and into the main road paved with blue bricks, where you can see the tall and heavy city gate at a glance.
Boss Qian and his gang could hardly hide the joy on their faces. Their pace unconsciously quickened, and finally they ran towards the city gate.
"Holy crap, boss! Those copper nails on this door are pure gold!"
"Boss, boss, and this door knocker too!"
"What do you mean?" Wang Kan came up to Boss Qian, took out a tool and made a prying motion.
Boss Qian's jaw was sore from laughing. Just as he was about to nod, he saw Qin Yuchen and Zhang Qiling walking towards them out of the corner of his eye.
His mind quickly calmed down, he coughed twice and shouted, "What are you doing! We haven't even arrived yet, and you're already frightened by something like this?!"
"Go and tell them not to move." Boss Qian pushed Wang Kan.
Wang Kan also noticed Qin Yuchen and the other person, and immediately understood what Boss Qian meant. He pushed the other people who were drooling over the copper nails.
"Stop it, don't you want to live anymore?"
He lowered his voice and motioned for them to look behind them.
Qin Yuchen took in all their movements and expressions, and had no intention of drawing his sword.
Boss Qian changed his expression and asked, "Forgive me, Master Qin, we couldn't help ourselves."
"fine."
Originally, he thought that he would make trouble, but after hearing Qin Yuchen's answer, Boss Qian felt that the temperature in the underground palace was even colder.
He was a little confused about what this meant, but seeing that Qin Yuchen didn't make any moves, he felt a little relieved.
This sound also successfully made everyone stop what they were doing and start thinking about how to open the door.
Pengzi tried pushing the door, but it didn't budge.
Zhang Qiling came to the door and first looked at the entire door before reaching out and grabbing the door knocker.
Peng Zi and others who were looking for a way gradually retreated away from the door and watched Zhang Qiling's actions silently.
The dull and suppressed knocking sounds rang out rhythmically, forming an echo in the empty environment.
The tightly closed door seemed to sense something, and with a click, the two heavy doors slowly opened inward from the middle.
The dust settled, and the moment the flashlight shone in, the first thing that caught my eye was a square that stretched as far as the eye could see.
There are also heavily armored human-shaped iron figurines that are illuminated by the flash of light.
"I rely on..."
Qin Yuchen entered the door first and walked lightly to the nearest iron figurine.
He looked up at the tip of the spear in the iron figurine's hand and frowned when he saw the dark red substance on it.
When he lowered his eyes, his gaze met the pair of empty eyes in the armor.
“…alive.”
These two words made Boss Qian and his group change their expressions instantly.
"What?" Xiao Zhao couldn't believe what he heard.
"Don't make any noise, just go through quietly."
Qin Yuchen didn't explain much and walked in.
Everyone shut up obediently and followed with light steps.
You won’t know until you walk in. Once you walk in, you will see that except for the road leading directly to the palace in front, both sides of the road are almost entirely lined with iron figurines.
The iron figurines were only as far apart as a fist, standing in neat rows in the square, one next to the other.
They held spears in their hands, solemn and silent.
A group of people walked quickly and carefully towards the palace.
As we got closer, we could hear the sound of armor rubbing against each other in the square.
The person walking at the end looked back as if he sensed something.
When he turned around, he saw a pair of green pupils staring at him.
"!!!" The noise frightened him so much that he stumbled backwards. When the scream almost broke through his throat, he remembered Qin Yuchen's reminder and quickly bit his tongue to stop himself from shouting.
