Thousand Lantern Night

Xiaobai crouched majestically on the top of the high platform, becoming the only light source in this strangely dark space.The curly hair on Xiao Bai's body is the same as when I saw it in the Crescent Hotel, it can emit a very faint emerald light, like a small lantern.

This light source is not enough to illuminate the entire room, but it is also enough for us to see the general structure of the interior.

Different from the mass burial area outside, this is an unconventional square palace, occupying an area larger than a football field.Estimated from the footstep distance reported just now, it is almost 99 meters.It's just that the structure of this palace is not a wood and stone structure, but a whole ice sculpture palace.Much like a crystal clear Crystal Palace.

There is nothing in the palace, if those giant butts are not counted.Only a nine-meter square ice platform is carved in the center, which is nine meters high from the ground.

If there are organ spells, they should be concentrated in the area of ​​the ice platform.

Our curiosity was aroused at once, and we really wanted to start researching the secrets of the ice platform immediately.But there are still four giant asses around the outside, and if we don't deal with them, we will definitely not be able to concentrate on our work.

The burst of gunfire just now only temporarily blocked their attack, but it couldn't hurt them at all.And what's even more strange is that the bullet pierced through without leaving any scars, and disappeared immediately.Generally speaking, if it is an object that the bullet cannot penetrate, it will definitely rebound.But no.The bullets penetrated and disappeared without doing any damage to them.

This is a very scary phenomenon.Basically already supernatural.

After we fired for a while, it was completely ineffective, and we had to suspend the fire.

There was a slashed cut on the leader's butt monster, and streams of transparent juice flowed out, leaving wet and shiny marks on the ice it crawled over.

It was the wound cut by Zhang Qiling's ancient black gold knife.It seems that only black gold is still a little deterrent to this species.

After we stopped the fire, two butt monsters moved to Arno's corpse, and used their soft skin like wings to wrap the corpse and internal organs into the bottom. When they moved away, the ground was clean and there was nothing left.Together with Arnold's backpack and firearms, they were swept in.I could feel my scalp tingle.

Qin Ai gasped, "What the hell are these things? Meatballs? Meatballs? It's disgusting!"

The fat man said: "This way of eating seems to integrate the food with oneself. Could this be the legendary glutton?"

Xiaohua shook her head: "That's not right. The gluttons recorded in ancient books all have heads and ministers, at least they should have an open mouth."

The fat man said: "It's pitch black? Isn't he quite good at bragging? Seeing his big-headed emissary from the Heavenly Palace, you don't know what it is, do you?"

Qin Ai pushed Wu Zhuhan next to him, and asked, "Hey, I want to ask you something! Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb—"

However, Wu Zhuhan no longer had the arrogance he had before, and he was stunned and motionless, just staring at those monsters.

"Damn, I'm so scared." Qin Ai scolded, "Whatever his grandma is! What should I do when the key is down? I don't want to be eaten like this."

As soon as Qin Ai said this, I immediately shivered.When I thought that I was caught by that thing and almost ate it, I was in a bad mood.Not to mention the feeling in the darkness just now, the bottom of the big-ass monster should have a lot of thorns, like a big brush, it can be deduced that it eats food like a shredder.

Zhang Yinzhen said: "We can't spend all our time here dealing with these things. We must act in groups at the same time, a group of people deal with these monsters, and a group of people investigate this ice platform. If there is a way out, there is no need to fight them to the death. Preserve successor forces."

Zhang Yinzhen quickly made arrangements for the current situation. As expected of a soldier, he is very competent for the role of an on-site commander.What he said is also very reasonable, after all, the purpose of our second entry to the palace is not for these asses.Bronze door, the ultimate - is the most important.

Everyone immediately divided into two teams according to the deployment, and acted separately.

Zhang Qiling's black gold is lethal to the butt monsters, so Zhang Qiling is the vanguard when going to the front line, with Fatty, Qin Ai and Dan Lang as backup firepower.Zhang Yinzhen, Xiaohua, I and two other foreigners conducted a comprehensive investigation on the ice platform.I don't know why I was put in the back group as I don't know how to do tricks at all. Probably Zhang Yinzhen thought that if I was put in the front group, it wouldn't be a big deal.After all, after that incident in Miaojiang, I have been sluggish until now, and I have been hiccupping endlessly.

A few of us climbed onto the ice platform, and Xiaobai shook his tail at me, but stared at the ass monsters without blinking.I touched it, and said to myself that it was not in vain to pick it up, it is always so powerful in critical moments.Looking down again, Zhang Qiling was dealing with those monsters, looking extremely dangerous.No matter how good his skills are, his physical strength will have limits.So we must hurry up and find a way out before his limit.

Xiao Hua patted me: "Look at the walls and roof of this palace."

I observed the directions pointed by Xiaohua. Normally, the glacier layer is very thick. If there is a light source inside, we can only see the reflection of the ice surface.But the walls and top of this ice room look extremely transparent, as if surrounded by a chaotic darkness on the outside.Not only the surroundings and the top, but even the ground, looked down in a hazy deep black.

I asked Xiao Hua: "Is this an overhead structure?"

Xiaohua shook her head: "The outer part is the fetal hole, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers. This ice palace is built in the fetal hole, which can be said to be the place where all things gather spirits." Xiaohua pointed to the ice platform under our feet: " This is a coffin, and there must be a big person inside, who is spending his days in this place."

After hearing what Xiaohua said, Zhang Yinzhen turned around and said to the two foreigners, "Detector."

The two foreigners immediately opened up the equipment in their backpacks and adjusted them. The blue light pen projected an image in mid-air, and soon the detector depicted the topographical structure of the area around us.

The palace was indeed built in a fetal hole. From the perspective of the dragon veins of Changbai Mountain, this fetal hole happened to be at the position of the longan.It is an extremely geomantic treasure land with gathering energy.But this ice palace only occupies the upper part of the fetal cavity, the lower part is a wood and stone structure building, and there is a rock partition between the two floors of the building.From the position, there is also a wooden coffin of the same size in the wooden and stone building directly below the ice coffin.

A metal barrier was erected at the north-facing position of the wooden coffin.

When I looked at the location, I was a little confused: "Is that the bronze door? If yes, that wooden coffin is the coffin of King Wannu that Wu Xie and the others saw last time. What came out of it was the twelve-handed male corpse. King Wannu himself."

As soon as the words came out, he felt unbelievable, and said in amazement: "The coffin of King Wannu is below, so who is the ice coffin directly above? Who has a higher status than King Wannu, and is actually buried under King Wannu's coffin?"

Zhang Yinzhen looked at Wu Zhuhan, that guy was still leaning on the bottom of the ice platform sluggishly, without changing his movements.Seeing that the guide is no longer good, Xiao Hua said: "Who the hell is it, just dig it out and find out."

I suddenly realized, that’s right, it’s all come to this point, so why not be polite.Then I was worried again: "This ice coffin seems to be carved out of glaciers, how do I open it?"

Zhang Yinzhen asked the foreigner to frame the ice coffin with a detector, projected it, and there was nowhere to open it.It seems that they don't even bother to set up organs.It is impossible for any grave robber's tools to open such a thick and fully enclosed glacier coffin.Even if it can be cut open, it will take a few years. Who can hold in it for the New Year?

Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Aren't there advanced people here?" Then she said to Zhang Yinzhen, "What, do you still have any recruits?"

Zhang Yinzhen had a few conversations with foreigners, and one of them took out a small pen-shaped instrument from his backpack and introduced it to us: "This is the smallest type of infrared cutting machine, which is usually used to cut hard stone. We can see if we can cut a hole in this ice coffin—”

Zhang Yinzhen waved his hand: "Do it."

I nodded dumbfounded, when did the lower fighting equipment become so advanced.After this, is there any mechanism that can stop human beings from fighting?My ancestors, please ask for blessings.

The foreigner seemed to be a novice in operating the cutting machine. Although he knew the theory, it took him a while to open a very irregular gap.Before we started, we didn't consider whether this ice coffin that didn't seem to be equipped with a spring would have a built-in destruction device. We didn't think about it until we drilled down. Fortunately, it wasn't as complicated as we thought.

The shape of the ice coffin is also in accordance with the structure of the outer coffin and the inner coffin, with a total of nine floors.The foreigner cut down layer by layer, and became more proficient at the end, and soon exposed the innermost layer of the inner coffin.

The material of this inner coffin is different from that of the outer ice coffin, it is a very thick black jade texture.I can tell at a glance that the texture of this is the same as that of Guixi.It seems that the identity of the owner of this tomb is really special. We have worked so hard to get such a small piece of ghost seal and ghost ring, and he can actually use meteorites to make a coffin.

People are compared to corpses, and people are pissed off.

The jade coffin also has only one hole. We have no way to see what the corpse inside looks like. We can only use a detector to roughly describe it. It is a wet corpse, which is very well preserved.As for what the clothes look like, there is no way of knowing.The main job of the detector is to find out if there is any mechanism in or below the ice coffin that can indicate the exit.

Looking at the projection, Zhang Yinzhen frowned and said, "There are no funeral objects inside. This is not normal."

Xiao Hua nodded: "According to the position of the ice coffin, it is obvious that the status is higher than that of Wannu King. It is really unusual that there are no funeral objects."

I asked, "Could it be that this is just a shadow coffin, used to confuse people?"

Xiaohua shook her head: "If it's a shadow coffin, you can place it anywhere you want. It's a big taboo to put the tomb owner's coffin in the right position. King Wannu will never allow others to do this. There are alternatives to this kind of placement." Meaning. Which tomb designer would be so impatient to live such a trick for King Wannu?"

The foreigner holding the detector suddenly said, "Hey guys! There's a box inside!"

Zhang Yinzhen hurriedly said: "That must be the belongings of the owner of the tomb. Fish it up and have a look!"

A few people hummed and tried to find a way to get the box.The hole was too small, and I couldn't squeeze in, so I couldn't help but look back at the situation below.

Zhang Qiling only wore a close-fitting black vest on his upper body, and the hoodie was taken off to bind the hand holding the knife.Looks like it's been a tough fight.Fortunately, there was no injury.Those butt spirits no longer concentrated their attacks, but scattered around us, forming a siege formation against us.

Therefore, Fatty and Qin Ai Danlang each guarded an angle to guard against the sudden attack of the butt.

For some reason, I suddenly noticed that the butts were all facing me with the slits, as if they were aiming at me.

The fat man yelled: "Masters above, hurry up! There won't be enough bullets!"

Just as I was about to answer, Xiaobai suddenly issued a low warning towards me.I looked back and saw a strange mass of black gas wriggling constantly, like a huge mollusk.The moment I turned my head, it disappeared like a transparent bubble floating in the air, and merged with the darkness above the hall.
