Chapter 903: Corpse Turtle
Guan Yun smiled and patted his shoulder, and while helping him induce vomiting, he said with a smile: "I thought you were a person who had seen the world, but you just saw the corpse, so there was no need to vomit like this!"
Lin Ran's eyes turned red after vomiting, and then he stood up, gargled and explained: "I don't know if the corpse gas inhaled is poisonous. Vomiting can reduce the toxic substances."
"Haha, you are making all kinds of nonsense." Guan Yun obviously didn't take it to heart.
Lin Ran ignored Guan Yun and looked at the candle in the corner.
At this moment, the small red flame of the candle was still beating, and it did not go out during the process of opening the coffin.
There was no need to study the corpse in the hanging coffin. Lin Ran looked at the bottom of the hanging coffin, and there were faint traces of earth-moving.
"Jinpeng, Xu Ning, you two dig up this place and take a look." Lin Ran ordered the two of them.
"Yes." They responded in unison.
Then they took out their tools and dug beneath the hanging coffin.
After just a few shovels, I dug out something hard.
Remove the picture above and find a wooden box.
"Is this a real coffin?" Shen Yi asked. He thought it was amazing that Lin Ran could find such a hidden object.
"No, it looks like a burial object." Lin Ran said.
Seeing the wooden boxes, the two moved faster and soon dug out three wooden boxes from the soil.
There is an iron lock on the wooden box, but unfortunately it has become rusty due to its age.
Then he looked at Lin Ran and asked, "Brother Lin, there shouldn't be any mechanism in the box, right?"
He was now like a frightened bird, and everything in the tomb felt like a trap.
Lin Ran shook his head and said, "Probably not. You can first listen to see if there is any sound inside."
There was silence in the box.
So Wang Jinpeng picked up the machete and slashed with it several times, cutting off the iron lock.
With a crisp "click" sound, the lock fell to the ground.
When he lifted the box just now, it felt very heavy. It took him and Xu Ning to work together to drag the wooden box out.
After opening it, I couldn't care less about the rotten smell in the house.
Because, stored in the wooden box, are a large number of gold, silver and bronze wares!
What a funerary gift!
Wang Jinpeng's eyes showed a smile and he said: "Although the person in the coffin is not the tomb owner, the tomb owner's visible weapon still fell into our hands."
Lin Ran was not happy because he found the treasure. On the contrary, he continued to look at the ground, trying to find abnormalities in other plots.
After just a cursory search, the box was filled with various burial objects.
There is no method for making biological weapons, their main purpose.
When Wang Jinpeng saw that Lin Ran was still not satisfied, he said, "Could it be just their misunderstanding, just like when we were children, our parents always told us that there were ghosts, but in fact they didn't exist at all."
Lin Ran must have thought so before.
But they have already seen the monster, and the identity of the tomb owner has not yet been found out.
Lin Ran felt that there must be something wrong.
"Let's look for it again." Lin Ran said. He also knew that he couldn't stay in this room for too long.
The smell is secondary, it’s hard to say what toxic substances are inside.
He looked at the plot and found nothing unusual.
Should all the land be turned over and excavated?
Impossible, the funerary objects should all be placed in the same place.
Lin Ran came to the place where Wang Jinpeng and the others were digging the hole, and wanted to look down to see if there was anything left unfinished.
But at this moment, they heard a "ta-da-da" sound.
This sound was particularly permeable in the tomb.
Guan Yun raised his gun and pointed it at the entrance of the tomb passage.
"Is someone coming?" Lin Ran asked him.
"It doesn't look like a human...but the sound is the sound of water dripping on the ground." Guan Yun took a shooting stance.
The sound got closer and closer. After seeing the intruder, the faces of the five people instantly turned pale.
Corpse turtle!
Groups of corpse crickets were crawling into the cave, numbering no less than a thousand.
Guan Yun decisively gave up shooting. No matter how good his shooting skills were, he would never be able to hit this guy.
Instead, he lit the torch that had just been extinguished and held it up in front of the door.
Originally, using fire to deal with poisonous insects was the best choice.
But these corpse turtles had obviously just crawled out of the underground river, and their bodies were moist and difficult to ignite.
Guan Yun waved the torch and blocked the corpse turtle's first round of attack.
There were a few corpse turtles that were not afraid of death and were burned by the torches.
Seeing this, Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning also lit torches and stepped forward to help.
There were too many corpse turtles, and it was impossible to kill them all. They had already crawled into the tomb.
They have long lived on the corpses of humans and animals in the water, and their stomachs are full of filth. If they are bitten, they will definitely be poisoned.
"I was careless..." Because Lin Ran seldom came into contact with underground rivers, he suddenly forgot that wherever there were underground rivers, there would be corpse turtles.
"Run!" Lin Ran shouted to everyone.
"Where to run?" Wang Jinpeng waved a torch and knocked down a corpse turtle that jumped towards him.
The other corpse turtles took this opportunity to jump on him.
Wang Jinpeng was so frightened that he took off his coat and threw it into the group of corpse turtles.
"Over there!" At the critical moment, Lin Ran pointed to a strip of paint under the hanging coffin and they ran inside.
Regardless of whether there were traps inside, Wang Jinpeng took out all the remaining torches from the bag, lit them and threw them on his clothes.
The flame that ignited instantly formed a tongue of flame in the tomb, giving them time to escape.
Lin Ran walked in front with a flashlight, and the light shone into the corridor.
They rushed inside desperately. The interior of the corridor was as winding as the previous tomb passage.
After running for a while, they looked back and saw that no corpse turtles had followed, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are the Corpse Turtles? Have they left?" Wang Jinpeng gasped.
At least now, when I look back, I can't see any trace of the Corpse Turtle.
And I couldn't hear the sound of their army moving, so I felt relieved.
"They should be attracted by Zhao Lijie's corpse." Lin Ran said. Corpse turtles are particularly sensitive to the smell of corpses. Highly decomposed corpses are simply cakes in their eyes.
After briefly adjusting their breathing, they began to explore forward.
The corridor is very narrow, less than two meters wide, giving people a very depressing feeling.
Although there was no mechanism, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.
It was like the calm before the storm, which made him feel that there was great danger in the dark.
Obviously, Guan Yun feels the same way.
He kept holding the gun, frowning, and had no intention of communicating with anyone.
Several people walked along the corridor for 200 meters and came to a corner again.
Around the corner, leaning against the wall, sat a body.
Guan Yun pointed his gun at the corpse, slowly approached it, and kicked it. The corpse immediately fell to the ground.
