Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Looking at the severed hand on the ground, it has turned completely black at this time, and is rapidly decomposing.

Unexpectedly, the poison in this mural has been covered up for hundreds of years, and it is so terrifying that it makes the faces of the people extremely ugly.

As the leader, Cao De naturally wanted to stand up and boost morale at this time. "You take him out, and the rest of you, keep searching, and be careful not to fumble around."

The person who was pointed out by Cao De to send someone out was overjoyed, and hurried forward to tie the injured person to his body and backed away.

It's a bad start, and there is no gain, but one person is lost, and the other person is trapped inside, life and death are unknown, this trip is doomed to be full of dangers.

Under Cao De's instructions, a group of people began to use tools and slowly grope around the wall.

After an unknown amount of time, one person suddenly felt something poked by a tool in his hand. "General, there is a discovery here!"

Hearing the shout, a group of people hurriedly gathered around, and saw that in front of the tool, the civil official who was poking at the bi painting was sunken in.

This must be a mechanism. It is difficult to guess whether it will open the stone gate or trigger other life-threatening objects.

Cao De followed the same pattern and led his men back to [-] meters before ordering the man to loosen the mechanism.

Feeling nervous, the man let go of the tool, but nothing that could be imagined appeared.

There is only one reason for this possibility, the organ was not fully triggered, and to verify, the man poked the tool in again.

With the force, the tool slowly fell into the mechanism, and did not stop until a "click" sounded.

As soon as it stopped here, the stone gate rose slowly, and everyone's hearts were filled with joy, but at this moment, the person who opened the mechanism suddenly fell to the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise.

Chapter 536

"thump."

Seeing this, Cao De lost all the joy that had just arisen, and hurriedly led the crowd to check it out. After sniffing, he found that the man had passed away.

After putting down the torch, Cao De pulled out the iron rod around his waist and played with the corpse, trying to find out why he died.

But after looking at it for a while, he didn't find anything, but the change in the corpse at this time gave him the answer.

Just before the temperature of the corpse dropped, suddenly the face of the man on the ground turned black, and a trace of decay began to appear, obviously he died from being poisoned by the huge poison of the wall.

Then the mechanism that opens the stone gate must be accompanied by another mechanism, and it can kill people without responding.

The person was already dead, and there was no point in verifying it. Cao De stood up and announced the cause of death, had someone record it, and then led the people to walk forward again.

But at this moment, Cao De suddenly remembered why he didn't see the trapped person, and whether something would happen.

"Stop." Cao De waved his hand, looked forward and said, "Be careful, something is wrong, the people inside are gone."

Hearing this, everyone became even more nervous. Following Cao De's words, they started walking forward in groups of two.

After stepping through the stone gate, he didn't see any marks left by the man. Cao De felt strange, logically he was inside alone, even if he looked for the switch, he wouldn't go far. Could it be that he was in danger.

Crouching down to look at the ground carefully, he found that the man's footsteps were a little chaotic, as if some danger was coming, which made him anxious and at a loss.

"Huh?" What is the footprint left by something? Cao De suddenly found a strange mark, and quickly took a torch in his hand to shine on the ground.

After some observation, it was found that this was the footprint left by an inexplicable animal, that is, the animal would attack people, so he fled here.

Cao De stood up and said, "Be careful, there is a beast that can attack people, he must have fled forward, follow up."

After Cao De finished speaking, he led a group of people to walk forward, squatting down to check the footprints from time to time.

After walking for about 10 minutes, suddenly the torch that the man had discarded was found on the ground, and there were bloodstains on it. One of them squatted down and smelled it carefully.

"It's human blood. The blood has a slight smell, and it should be poisonous."

This person was specially selected by Cao De. His nose can distinguish hundreds of smells, and he is a veteran at finding graves and clearing roads.

Cao De frowned and said: "It seems that more bad luck than good, let's go."

In this way, the group continued to walk forward with doubts and worries. Bloodstains were found on the road, and it was obvious that the person was seriously injured.

After walking about several hundred meters, a pair of green eyes suddenly stopped the group of people in front of them.

Seeing this, Cao De whispered, "Throw the torch and see what it is?"

The first person got the order and quickly threw the torch forward, and saw a huge mouse covered with black hair, with blood dripping from its mouth, looking at them vigilantly, seeing the torch flying, quickly fled to the front passage.

"What kind of monster is this, how could there be such a big mouse?"

"Yeah, this tomb is hundreds of years old, what kind of living things do they eat?"

……

Looking at the people who kept questioning, Cao De reminded: "Rats live in groups, be careful, you may be attacked next time, light a few more torches, it seems that you should be afraid of fire."

Hearing the reminder, these people recovered quickly, and quickly took out their carrying torches, one in each of their left and right hands, so that the originally dark tomb passage was much brighter.

After getting ready, Cao De and his team continued to set off, passing by the bloody corpse with bone-deep wounds, everyone couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The corpse was black, and a clear eye could see that it had died of poisoning. That is to say, this unknown giant rat was carrying toxins. As long as it was bitten, it might be dead.

Everyone was more vigilant, always paying attention to the front, for fear that a group of giant rats would suddenly rush out.

After walking carefully for a thousand meters along the way, Cao De and his party never encountered anything again, which made them feel strange. Logically speaking, along the way, there should be tombs. Could it be that they opened the wrong hole.

At this moment, a corner suddenly appeared in front of them, which shocked everyone, and they could not help but hold the torch tightly with both hands.

Turning around the corner, two tombs appeared on both sides of the front, which made the crowd happy, and they all looked at Cao De, wanting to see which one he would choose to advance.

The choice of this tomb room is of great importance, and if it is not done well, the price will be paid. According to the practice of Qin history, the left side may be the burial objects, and the right side may be the mausoleum.

But when they come in, they are not walking in the right way, that is to say, they don't know whether it is going in or out, that is to say, they cannot confirm left and right.

Cao De thought for a while, and decided to take a gamble and drive the one on the left first. "Open this side first, pay attention to safety."

After getting the order, they began to search for the mechanism, but they bumped and bumped on the wall for a long time, but they didn't find anything unusual.

Just when they devoted themselves to finding the mechanism, they didn't know that danger was slowly approaching them.

Above the tomb passage, two pairs of green eyes were quietly approaching them.

"Squeak..."

A faint cry sounded, and something above the tomb passage quickly fell, attacking a person who was some distance away from the team.

"Ah!" A scream made Cao De and the others jump in fright. They quickly waved the torch and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

Seeing a giant rat biting the man's neck, someone threw the torch over without having time to think about it.
