Chapter 676 Human Sacrifice
Chapter 676 Human Sacrifice
It was precisely because he knew this that Ye Lan did not expose her immediately.
And from observation, Hongqing only stayed by He Zheng's side and gave him a love spell, without any intention of harming others.
I'm afraid that Shan Shang pushed Yin Rujin and Sheng Nan away simply because he wanted to help the giant snake.
His nature is not entirely bad.
Others in the team stayed away from Hong Qing, and some gradually saw her origins.
"What did you say? She is the Red Devil? The Saint of the Miao Territory, it does sound very similar to her."
"It turned out to be the Red Devil, hiss, it's a good chance we didn't make a move at the gate of the courtyard just now, otherwise we would have died without a burial place!"
……
All the surrounding discussions were heard by a few people here.
Shouhou and others subconsciously stayed away from Hongqing.
Hong Qing sneered softly, with a charming look on her face, "Even if you have long eyes, you can still recognize me. Ye Lan saved your life just now."
Otherwise, the moment they pull the trigger, the insects in the ground will kill them.
After everyone heard this, they became even more wary of her.
Xie Chenan didn't understand the situation and touched his brother Electric Eel's arm, "What is this woman's background?"
"Red Devil, the fifth boss on the comprehensive list of the Selected to become a Miao saint, she was soaked and raised with the flesh and blood of her biological parents, brothers and sisters from the five ethnic groups, so that only one in ten thousand could grow into one. Every hair on her body was poisonous, and a drop of blood could poison all living creatures within ten miles. Animals and plants are walking killers.”
In other words, if you dare to attack her, you will definitely die first.
Originally, everyone planned to go their own way, but now that the Red Devil has appeared and teamed up with the powerful Ye Lan, no matter how reluctant the others are, they can only stand behind when they arrive at the pit.
"There is indeed a dry robbery hole here. It should have been dug by the previous team."
Yin Rujin stepped forward and touched the newly dug soil and the mucus on the ground, confirming that it was the first place where the giant snake appeared.
At that time, it returned to the cave after sweeping the valley, and went to the end of the valley to attack Ye Lan and the others.
I checked with instruments and found that there was enough oxygen down there, but no one dared to go down immediately.
"Ms. Ye, do you think there will be any giant snakes down there?"
Yin Rujin represents the forum, and now has a cooperative relationship with Ye Lan, who is directly appointed by the official, so her attitude is very polite.
Hearing this, Ye Lan looked at Hong Qing.
Hong Qing raised her chin and said with an arrogant look on her face: "The poison I planted can kill even a ten thousand-year-old bastard, but it won't have a chance to survive."
Ye Lan believed her on this point.
After ensuring the safety below, everyone went down the robbery hole.
The entrance was very deep, and there was an arrow formation at the bottom. There were more than a dozen corpses lying here and there, either bitten to death by giant snakes, or killed by thousands of arrows piercing their hearts when they slipped and fell.
"Senior sister, except for the smugglers who were mixed up in our team, everyone else died here." Wu Heng came over and whispered his observations.
Ye Lan nodded slightly and said nothing.
Now that everyone is dead, the clues to the Zheng family's national treasure case are gone.
The only good thing is that you don't have to worry about these people making trouble anymore.
The group of people walked towards the corridor in front. Although the murals carved on both sides were slightly oxidized, they were still colorful.
"Generally, most of these murals depict the life of the tomb owner. You can see there are traces of sacrifices here. In the middle is the great wizard, and people are gathered around. The person sitting on the chair at the back should be the tomb owner."
The surviving archaeologists could not suppress their excited voices echoing in the passage.
And along with his explanation, everyone gradually understood the records on the mural.
This seems to be a very ancient tomb, with many sacrificial scenes. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning, any weather can be achieved through the sacrifices of the great wizard, and the king's treasures on the chair are gathering more and more under his feet.
But as the requests for blessings became more and more demanding, the sacrifices required began to change from cattle and sheep to human beings.
"This is...human sacrifice."
As the archaeological expert continued his explanation, his voice became weaker and began to tremble faintly.
Because in the second half of the mural, almost all human sacrifices were made, and the number increased from a small amount to a large number. In the end, the capacity of the sacrificial cauldron expanded into a pot, and people were put into the pot one by one to cook it into soup.
The tomb owner on the chair at the back is holding a bowl and enjoying it.
When everyone thought about what he was drinking, their stomachs turned and they wanted to vomit.
But things are not over here. In the mural, the high priest also captured a giant snake. Unfortunately, the second half of the mural is missing.
"The painter hid key information, or maybe this secret is not allowed to be painted." The archaeological expert came here, already sweating profusely. "I think the owner of this tomb is likely to be a group of tombs from the ancient Stone Age. They They openly use the method of human sacrifice, believe in the most primitive religion, and cultivate things that are beyond our imagination. I don’t recommend continuing to go down, maybe going out is our best choice.”
How excited he was when he came down, how regretful he was now.
"If you want to go, go on your own, four-eyed frog. Don't stop me from getting rich." The money-obsessed fanatics were unwilling to listen to him. They pushed him back and signaled that he had to go back and help himself. They wanted to explore here. , Even if you bring back a stone, you will become prosperous.
The archaeological expert shook his head and immediately gave up fighting. He turned around and walked back to the entrance of the cave.
But within a short while, Ye Lan and others heard his exclamation.
"Where is the exit? Why is it missing! I want to go out, I want to go out!"
The group of people quickly turned back and found that the location of the robbery cave was gone, along with the bodies on the ground.
"With just a few dozen meters away, could it be that we've seen a ghost?" The thin monkeys were puzzled as they found no mechanism around them.
"There must be something weird in the corridor." At this time, the big man with a broken arm spoke, touching the mural on the wall and said: "We were just looking at this thing, and didn't notice that the corridor changed. It seemed to be in a straight line, but in fact it had changed. The passage has been changed, this is a very advanced mechanism in the tomb."
When he said this, many people understood.
But it's just the beginning, with the arrow array and the tunnel mechanism, the danger level of this tomb is also clear at a glance.
Since the exit was lost, Yin Rujin could only greet everyone, "Keep moving forward. You can only find the main tomb chamber before exiting."
There are usually escape exits built by craftsmen and prepared by themselves.
The group of people continued to move forward, passing by a large number of stone figurines buried with them.
"These things are older than those in the Qin Mausoleum. It seems that the textbooks are about to be rewritten." The thin monkey tried his hand and found that the stone figurines were extremely heavy. Although they were valuable, they were not convenient to carry. He could only mark them first and wait for later. Come and get it.
Yin Rujin only used her camera to record all this.
The group of people walked forward for a while and encountered a fork in the road.
One was fairly well lit, while the other was filled with thick fog, which looked the same as the poisonous fog in the valley outside.
At this time, the team had a disagreement.
Ye Lan chose the corridor with thick fog, but no one else wanted to go in.
"This looks like we are going to die. We haven't lived enough yet."
