C167 (1/2)
The entire tomb chamber looked like a battlefield!
The mummified corpses seemed to have gone through an extremely brutal war before they died. Most of them were mutilated to the point of missing hands and feet, or even a head. Some of them even had their bodies pierced by spears and were suspended in the air! It gave people a creepy feeling when they looked at it!
Moreover, the most terrifying thing was not the incomplete corpses, but the faint ghostfire that burned near them!
I once read that the ghost fire was caused by a spontaneous combustion of phosphorus in the body of the deceased.
However, no one had set foot in this place for at least a thousand years. Then what about those ghost flames?
Moreover, under the flickering will-o '-the-wisp, the entire tomb was filled with flickering shadows, making one's hair stand on end! In addition, the corpses seemed to have died with their eyes wide open, making people feel terrified. How could they dare to take a step forward?
”Brother, Brother Zhou, why … why don't we go back? Let's go back!”
Upon seeing such a scene, even the normally crazy Big Board could not help but be frightened. How could I dare to take even half a step forward?
”Don't worry, this is just the most ordinary Thousand Corpse Resisting Formation. Those corpses are only wax statues, so there is nothing to be afraid of.”
After saying that, Dong Wan'er actually walked over and took my arm. I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
I remember when we were at the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the sea, I saw countless heads underwater. At that time, Zhang Zi Kong told me that those were wax statues, but later on it was proven that those weren't wax statues, but real heads! It's just that at that time, Zhang Zi Kong purposely said that those heads were wax statues in order to stabilize our emotions!
”Wax?” If it's a wax statue, then what about those ghost flames? ”
”It's a wax figure made of phosphor wax, so after a thousand years there will still be phosphor powder coming out. If it was a real body, it would have been dried into powder long ago. ”Also, the eyes are usually the first parts of a corpse to rot. Even if you want to make mummies, you have to dig them out. Look at the eyes of those mummies!”
After saying that, Dong Wan'er pointed at the nearest mummy's eyes.
He saw the dried corpse's eyes. Although they looked very similar to Xu Man's eyes and those eyes seemed to be filled with resentment, but after Dong Wan'er's explanation, it had clearly become a flaw.
After her explanation, although the wax statues still looked very frightening and there was still a sense of fear in my heart, at least I had a foundation. I wasn't as scared as before.
After hearing Dong Wan'er's explanation, Big Board excitedly grabbed a spear from the ground. He then used the spear to pick up a furry object on the ground and walked back to us!
However, when the plank held the furry thing up in front of us, I was surprised to see that it was the corpse of a black cat! When she saw the black cat's body, Dong Wan'er's face immediately turned pale!
”This is bad!” Looks like I misjudged it! The black cat's corpse was inside the array, which meant that these corpses were real! And the cat body moved, and the corpse of the formation rose! ”
The moment Dong Wan'er finished her sentence, I saw the black cat that was raised by the big board suddenly open her eyes and look at me with resentment!
”Don't look at the cat's eyes! It can take one's soul! ”
Although Dong Wan'er had warned me in time, the moment the cat corpse opened its eyes and looked at me, I had already locked eyes with it! In this instant, I only felt my entire body instantly turn ice-cold. Furthermore, fear that came from the depths of my soul also quickly spread throughout my body!
In a daze, I felt as if I was flying toward the eyes of that black cat, as if that was the true home of my soul!
Just when I felt that I was about to enter the black cat's eyes, the qilin hanging on my chest suddenly emits a dazzling light. I have finally recovered from my shock!
At this moment, I was drenched in cold sweat while the black cat struggled to land on the ground from the spear in its hand!
At the same time, all the corpses in the tomb began to move!
Seeing this, I immediately turned around and was about to escape through the tunnel behind me, but I was stopped by Dong Wan'er.
”Don't run back! It was useless to run back now! This is the Thousand Corpse Soul Riding Array, if we do not continue forward, by the time we run back, we will be dead! ”
At this moment, Dong Wan'er's expression became extremely serious. She definitely wasn't joking! But there are so many mummies, it's scary just thinking about them, how can I dare to go forward?
At this moment, I had already put on a mournful expression. However, Dong Wan'er directly grabbed my hands and walked out without saying a word!
”From now on, close your eyes. Before you enter the tunnel, do not open them!”
Hearing her words, I immediately closed my eyes. However, what was inconceivable was that after I closed my eyes, the dark tomb seemed to have become extremely clear!
Yes, after I close my eyes, it's like I'm wearing an infrared night vision goggles. I can clearly see everything in the tomb, including those flickering shadows!
