Chapter 2498: Qingqiu
Originally they didn't smell the stench of corpses, but after seeing this scene, the air was instantly filled with a faint stench.
Turning around and looking at the scene above, everyone felt their scalps go numb.
Fortunately, I didn't go directly to the tree tower. If there were so many dead bodies hanging above my head, I would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"How strange! Didn't those foreigners enter the secret passage?" Lin Ran felt a little confused when he saw some corpses wearing cowboy clothes and cowboy hats.
Even if the snake cypress has the ability to capture, it is limited to the coverage area of the vines, which is this cave.
But among the corpses above were some people who had not entered the secret passage.
Is it possible that those shadow people don't eat people directly, but kill them and bring them here to hang them?
Thinking about it this way, I felt even more shuddering.
"Don't be caught by snake cypress." This thought appeared in everyone's mind.
Going to the tree tower right now is not a wise choice.
Lin Ran planned to find a way to leave from this platform.
His eyes returned to the stone bed and the body on it.
Who is this person?
Lin Ran squinted his eyes and stared at the male corpse on the stone bed.
For some reason, no matter which direction he went, he felt like corpses were staring at him.
This is definitely not an illusion.
In fact, he was very interested in this corpse. If possible, he even hoped to take it out and study it carefully.
The demon fox has always been a special existence in Chinese legends.
The fox is called a spiritual beast because in the hearts of ancient people, it is a very smart and even cunning creature.
"Is this the owner of the tomb?" Liu Jingfeng looked at the corpse on the stone bed with his eyes shining.
As experienced local masters, this was actually the first time they had seen such a well-preserved corpse.
What’s even more bizarre is that there are no anti-corrosion measures.
Gold thread clothing can indeed prevent corpses from decaying to a certain extent, but it is not that they have never seen gold thread clothing, and the inside will still rot.
Unless the body died not long ago.
It was the first time I saw such well-preserved remains.
The only special thing is the mask on his face.
Because he was wearing a mask, it was impossible to see his face clearly, and because it felt wrong, no one dared to take off his mask.
Everyone just stood beside the stone bed, at a loss.
Wang Jinpeng couldn't stand such a dull atmosphere and asked, "Brother Lin, what should we do next?"
"He is thinking of a way, don't interrupt others." Huang Hao said.
"Isn't this a reminder?" Wang Jinpeng said slightly dissatisfied, "You know, there are many bugs waiting for us at our feet and above our heads."
Now is not the time to do research, Wang Jinpeng just wants to remind them of this.
In fact, of course Lin Ran was not doing research. He didn't even intend to find out who the corpse was.
I just vaguely felt that this corpse might be related to their subsequent life safety.
The special phenomenon just now made Lin Ran feel nervous.
However, he felt that he was quite lucky, because they reached the fourth ancient tomb, and except for Wang Jinpeng who was seriously injured, everyone else was safe.
This also brought everyone's trust in Lin Ran to the highest level.
Although he complained, Wang Jinpeng didn't say much and just waited silently.
He also understood that if Lin Ran couldn't handle it, no one else could handle the crisis situation.
At the same time, in another part of the ancient tomb.
The people of the Treasure Hunting Club never gave up exploring the legendary ancient tomb. They found the ancient tomb and sent a group of well-equipped tomb robbers.
But I didn't expect these guys in the ancient tomb to be so difficult to deal with, and they also suffered a lot.
Originally, more than 100 people were brought here, but now there are less than 20 people left.
So much so that Kogoro, who was leading the team, was frowning now.
"China really has enough secrets." Kogoro cursed.
They couldn't cope with the monsters in the ancient tombs, and even set traps everywhere. They suffered a lot.
"If you persist a little longer, you should be able to find the main tomb."
As the saying goes, the higher the difficulty, the greater the reward.
Kogoro hummed coldly, China's ancient tombs are really too complicated, like the ancient tombs in their country, no matter how complicated they are, they still have a sense of proportion.
"Alas, the mission is getting more and more difficult, and Amaterasu doesn't even bless us."
He sighed. In fact, before entering the ancient tomb, the treasure hunting club's advisor warned them of the dangers of this trip.
As a result, the superiors insisted on having their own way and just equipped them with equipment and let them go to the grave.
It certainly wouldn't have been so bad if the consultant had been there.
Unfortunately, the consultant has other work to attend to.
On the surface, he was encouraging the team members, but in fact, his subordinates knew what kind of monsters they encountered along the way.
It’s good to be alive, but I also want to find the main tomb chamber.
But once you join this organization, your life no longer belongs to you.
On the altar.
Lin Ran had already begun to wear gloves and study the corpse.
He found some bulging in the throat area of the body.
So he grabbed his throat with his hands.
This action startled the others.
"Brother Lin, are you taking revenge on him?" Wang Jinpeng asked.
"How is that possible?" Lin Ran replied lightly this time, but the hand on his throat tightened.
After a while, a bead spit out from the male corpse's mouth.
Lin Ran turned his head and glanced at the beads, and said to Guan Yun: "Come and help me see if there are any grooves on the bed that can just fit the beads in."
Guan Yun nodded and stepped forward to help, but when he was looking for it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Because the male corpse's hand, which was originally flat on his chest, suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Guan Yun was startled and immediately took out his gun and shot at the corpse.
A few bangs.
All the bullets were lodged in the bodies.
But there was no blood or other liquid flowing out, and the hand in his hand was indeed much looser.
"Are you okay?" Lin Ran asked. He originally just wanted Guan Yun to help him, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
Guan Yun glanced at his wrist. Good guy, the corpse was still quite strong. There was a red mark on his hand.
Guan Yun searched nearby and didn't see the groove.
"Did you guess wrong?"
Lin Ran began to recall what he had seen on TV series before, and it seemed that he had indeed seen similar TV series.
It is said that the author was really a tomb robber and was arrested and imprisoned after writing the novel.
In his novels, he described the story of the Qingqiu fox demon.
