The little green snake seemed to understand what people were saying, and nodded its head downward, as if to make a promise to Yin Ling'er.
Then it followed my palm and got into my sleeve!
The place where the small bamboo crawled was freezing to the bone. For a moment, I felt goosebumps on my arms, as if I had arrived in the coldest winter.
Now that he had a countermeasure, Lao Jiang proposed to speed up the pace and try to enter the main tomb before Wuxi and the others!
However, just when we prepared everything and started to set off, suddenly, the entire underground space shook violently like an earthquake.
Suddenly, the entire bronze forest began to shake, and countless dust and clods of earth fell from the top of the tomb, which made us look disgraced and our feet bumped from side to side, making us extremely unstable.
I tried my best to hold Yin Ling'er steady, who almost fell. I looked at Lao Jiang and asked, "What's going on? Is this tomb going to collapse?"
Yin Ling'er carried the huge bamboo basket and swayed here and there, her head like a tumbler. As she shook it, she asked, "Is it an earthquake? I heard that earthquakes occur frequently in Xichuan?"
"What, this earthquake is coming sooner or later, but it's coming now? Are you kidding us?" Ge Weihan was confused by Yin Ling'er's words, fearing that a group of us would fall here like this.
Chief Acuo said that there are very few earthquakes in Wawu Mountain and it cannot be an earthquake.
"Crack!"
However, as soon as he said this, there was a harsh tearing sound under his feet, and a huge crack spread instantly on the ground, as if it had been split open by Pangu's giant ax that opened the world.
Fortunately, Chief Acuo reacted very quickly and jumped aside quickly, but the fate of one of the mountain guards was not so good.
His body sank rapidly, and he was about to fall into the dark abyss in the next second.
At the critical moment, Lao Jiang threw out a rope and threw it at the mountain guard: "Brother, hold on!"
The nearby bronze sacred trees were crumbling, and some even scraped and collided with each other, making loud thumping noises.
While Lao Jiang was pulling the mountain guard out hard, he shouted to us: "It's not an earthquake, nor is the whole tomb about to collapse, it's the area where we are that is collapsing!"
Lao Jiang is a first-class mechanism master, and he figured everything out in just a short time.
He told us: "It was Usi. Usi and the others opened the door to the main tomb, causing the bronze forest to activate the self-destruction device."
I was surprised at first, and then cursed: "Grandma, they opened the door of the main tomb, and if it collapsed, they would also collapse the main tomb. Why did they collapse our place?"
He gritted his teeth and exerted force, and the veins in his hands had popped out. Seeing him struggling, I wanted to go over and help.
Unexpectedly, the Acuo clan leader moved like a rabbit. He and several other mountain guards had already arrived in front of Lao Jiang, tightening the rope like a tug of war.
Lao Jiang kicked his feet back on the ground, trying to use his strength. At the same time, he did not forget to glare at me, wishing he could give me a chestnut from the air: "You brat, you were so smart just now, and now you are dumbfounded. Forgot. Did Chief Cuo say that? The purpose of this tomb in ancient Shu was to prevent tomb robbers from entering, but to prevent the thing inside the tomb from getting out. "
The loud voice of Patriarch Acuo also came at the same time: "Yes, our ancestors said that all the institutions and holy insects protecting the tomb are to prevent the thing in the tomb!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rope crawled out little by little along the huge gap in the abyss. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the figure of the mountain guard gradually appeared in the gap.
He held the rope with one hand and climbed hard on the edge of the abyss with the other hand. There were red blood marks on both hands.
Fortunately, he still came up.
Seeing the mountain guard landing smoothly, Lao Jiang retracted the rope, then looked ahead and said: "Everyone follow me and rush forward, taking three steps to take one breath."
"Hurry before it collapses!"
After that, Lao Jiang took the lead.
Yin Ling'er was carrying a big bamboo basket, and her center of gravity was unstable. In addition, the world was spinning in Western Zhou Dynasty. When I pulled her to run, she would fall down from time to time.
Considering that she was injured during the Gu fight.
So before she could speak, I took the initiative to bend down and pick her up!
Ge Weihan was quite interesting. He ran next to me and helped hold the big bamboo basket with one hand, which slightly lightened my burden.
Patriarch Acuo and several mountain guards received Lao Jiang's favor and took the initiative to cut off our heirs.
Rumble, rumble, thunderous sounds kept ringing in my ears, like a murderous drum sound that wanted to wipe us out one by one in this bronze forest.
The ground beneath our feet was like a constantly shaking turntable, making our center of gravity extremely unstable. From time to time, large and small rocks fell from above our heads. Some were only as big as a fingernail, while others were like fists, falling heavily.
There were even a few huge rocks that made deep circular pits on the ground.
I saw with my own eyes that Lao Jiang, who was leading the way for us, was running when a long stalagmite suddenly fell from his head.
The stalagmite was like a piercing sword, thrusting towards Lao Jiang's head!
Fortunately, Lao Jiang was very strong and could distinguish sounds by listening to sounds. He swooped to avoid it, but he missed another stalagmite.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Lao Jiang had reacted any slower, he would have been skewered on the spot!
The accident was much scarier than imagined. No one knew where they were buried until the last moment.
This place is much more exciting and thrilling than I imagined!
I originally thought that the horror was limited to this, but then I discovered that the institutions of the ancient Shu Kingdom were far beyond my imagination. As I ran, I found that the bronze tree next to me was actually getting shorter as it receded.
When I turned around, I realized that the bronze tree behind me was almost invisible, with only dark green branches exposed.
In other words, these towering bronze sacred trees are falling into the abyss one after another at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Only then did I understand that this bronze forest itself was part of the organization.
Why are every tree the same distance apart?
Because they are cast on one floor after another, and all the floors form a giant platter.
Once the self-destruct mechanism is activated, these floors will crash into the abyss.
In other words, the entire bronze forest is empty underneath.
No wonder there was such a long abyss just now, swallowing up the mountain guard.
As the thunder became louder and louder, it seemed as if a monster was born, and even the heaven and earth were shaking!
