The tip of the sword was inserted into the crevice of the stone, as if it was hooked into a mechanism.
Qin Ying grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out. Suddenly, there was nothing under her feet, and she fell into a deep pit that appeared in an instant. With a loud bang, the 10,000 jin stone cauldron actually fell into the pit.
Qin Ying immediately fell into a pitch-black darkness, and a nauseating stench floated in the air.
Qin Ying rolled along with the momentum to dissipate the force of the downward impact. However, she crashed headfirst into a puddle of mud. She secretly cried out in her heart that this was clearly a trap left for the grave robbers.
He struggled to get up and brandished the ancient greenish-bronze sword above his head, but all he left was a string of dazzling sparks. The huge recoil made Qin Ying's right arm numb and her heart beat rapidly.
He had never seen such a bizarre tomb. He thought that a mouse had fallen into a rice jar, but he did not expect it to be a black pit.
Qin Ying turned on the flashlight she carried with her and looked up at the bird seal carved on the huge stone above. It was clearly the unshakable stone cauldron.
He used all his strength to slash a few times, but he did not expect that the bronze sword, which could cut through iron like mud, did not leave a single sword mark on the incense burner stone.
Qin Ying's heart sank. She looked at the surrounding walls. They were all made of the same material as the stone cauldron. The dents left behind were perfect for the stone cauldron.
Emperor Shun was a trap. Qin Ying wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He was even more anxious. However, he tried his best to calm himself down. This was the home of grave robbers. Didn't all the ancestors of the Qin family never return?
The power of the flashlight was limited. Qin Ying knew that the more anxious she was, the more dangerous it would be. She took a deep breath and turned off the flashlight. The pit instantly fell into a dark silence.
He had now completely understood that it was only a step from heaven to hell here. What he should do now was to open a path to the human world.
Suddenly, he felt a cold breeze blowing over. He was instantly overjoyed. There should be a passage connecting this place to the outside world.
However, this cool breeze was extremely weak. If one's body and mind were not immersed in darkness and silence, one would not be able to detect it at all.
His large hand reached into the Hundred Treasure Purse and took out a roll of human skin. His finger drew a few incantation marks in the darkness, and the human skin immediately left his hand, turning into a puppet floating in the air.
This was a secret skill unique to Mountain Moving Taoist. Corpse puppets were made of thousand-year-old corpses. They were extremely powerful and could find wind and drill holes. As long as they were not trapped in a confined space, they could find a chance of survival.
The corpse slave puppet's body was light and floated in the wind. After a moment, he snatched the bronze sword from Qin Ying's hand and slashed at a wall.
With a bang, a stone door was smashed open. The cold wind that blew in carried a fishy smell.
Qin Ying immediately became cautious. Not only were there ghosts in the ancient tomb, but there might also be demons.
He didn't dare to turn on the flashlight. Instead, he ordered the corpse slave puppets to open the way with the ancient greenish-bronze sword.
The corpse slave puppet was fearless. It flashed into the cave, and Qin Ying followed behind it carefully. He followed the direction of the wind and groped his way forward.
After walking for an hour, his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness underground. He found himself walking in a long, wet tunnel, but he had no time to consider whether this tunnel led to heaven or hell.
After walking for another hour or so, Qin Ying saw two more red light spots in front of him. He was delighted.'Could it be that Emperor Shun knew that his descendants were worshiping him, so he lit the candle in advance?'
According to the common knowledge of tomb raiding. The longevity candle had its own flame that would spontaneously combust when it saw the wind. Those who did not know why would think that it was a ghost welcoming guests. However, to the grave robbers, they had found the main culprit.
Qin Ying quickened her pace, and the soil under her feet became softer and sticky, as if she was walking in a swamp.
After walking a few dozen steps, Qin Ying suddenly pulled the red string tied to the corpse slave's body. She stared at the two red lights in front of her with goosebumps.
This was not a Phosphorescence Longevity Candle, but the eye of an animal. Vaguely, he could see that this thing was actually a monster with a burly body, a humanoid body, a ferocious face, four fangs at the corners of its mouth, and a huge red tumor on its forehead.
Qin Ying tried her best to search for the knowledge that Grandpa Dead Ghost had imparted to her before. Suddenly, she remembered that there was a picture of this monster in the Search for Gods. "It's actually a mandrill."”
It was better to meet a jackal than a mandrill. This thing was extremely powerful and could subdue tigers and leopards. It moved like the wind and was extremely intelligent.
Although Qin Ying had the corpse slave puppets to protect her, her legs were weak and she almost ran away.
The mandrill had already noticed Qin Ying and the corpse puppet slave, but it was afraid of the murderous aura emitted by the corpse puppet slave and the bronze sword and did not dare to act rashly. However, it did not intend to retreat. Instead, it glared at the youth who had intruded into its territory.
Qin Ying's palm, which was holding the flashlight, was already drenched in cold sweat. He clearly remembered Grandpa Dead's special warning when he mentioned the mandrill.
Most of the mandrills that entered the mausoleum had Dao attainments. They lived on the ground and were proficient in escape techniques, which was why they could use the mausoleum as their nest.
Even if the ancestors of the Qin Clan were still alive, they would not dare to provoke this thing. Once they provoked the ferocity of this thing, even if they did not die, they would lose a layer of skin. It was even more terrifying than a thousand-year-old corpse.
This mandrill was huge and had cultivated for countless years.
Qin Ying bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to calm down. The hundred-year-old mandrill was already sentient. Perhaps this mandrill, who had cultivated for an unknown number of years, could understand human language.
He had the corpse puppets retreat to show that they had no hostility, then he cupped his fists and bowed to the mandrill."Brother, this little brother has no ill intentions for entering your precious land. I just want to leave now. If you let this little brother live, I will definitely repay you in the future. What do you think?" After he finished speaking, he tentatively took a step forward.
"Roar!" Although it had taken a small step forward, the mandrill seemed to have sensed a threat. It opened its huge mouth and roared. A faint golden gas, which was wrapped in a pungent smell, rushed toward them.
Qin Ying held his breath and looked at the mandrill, who was unwilling to give way. Could it be that he did not understand human language? A flattering smile appeared on his face."Brother, I really don't have any ill intentions. I just want to borrow the road to leave. If you want to eat meat, when I leave this place, I'll definitely give you tigers and leopards to enjoy.”
The mandrill looked at Qin Ying vigilantly, but it did not have the slightest intention of making way for him. It roared repeatedly.
Qin Ying cupped her hands." Brother, I'm not lying to you. Human flesh really doesn't taste good. It's sour and bitter." However, if you want to eat people, your little brother will spread the news that there are treasures hidden here. There will definitely be people coming to you one after another. Among them, there is a kind called women who are the most greedy. They are fragrant and tender, and they taste extremely refreshing. What do you think?”
