Chapter 22: Going Down to the Tomb Again (2/2)



On the door made of fine steel lives a harmless spiritual sound Gu, which relies on moisture in the air to survive. It has a pair of extremely small wings, which, when touched, will emit a very crisp sound when the wings vibrate, forming a song that can often scare unaware people.

Jiang Shaomu first told everyone about the existence of this kind of Gu and the situations it would appear in, and then he and Zhang Qiling pushed open the door. The door gradually bent inwards with the force of the two people, and a unique sound was indeed heard from the door. If they hadn't discovered it before, this sound would have been really weird and scary in the tomb.

The door was completely opened, and the candles placed on the walls inside burned one by one, illuminating the entire tomb.

Jiang Shaomu took a deep breath, and the paper man he had released long ago floated forward according to his wishes. It circled the tomb chamber but did not trigger any mechanism. Jiang Shaomu took the paper man back in disappointment.

It can be seen that the designer of this tomb has really considered all aspects. Paper figures without a certain temperature and weight will not be able to gain any advantage here, so he and Zhang Qiling can only rely on each other.

Jiang Shaomu first glanced at the floor in front of him, then turned to look at Zhang Qiling, and seeing that the other party frowned, he did not move forward rashly.

Zhang Qiling took out a crowbar and smashed the ground in front of him. A floor tile collapsed directly. Jiang Shaomu looked into the hole and saw dense spikes standing on the ground, shining coldly.

Seeing Zhang Qiling shook his head, Jiang Shaomu crossed the hole, and Zhang Qiling quickly followed.

The two were still looking at the mechanism below when something suddenly fell off the ceiling above their heads, and then black bugs fell down.

Jiang Shaomu was quick-witted and threw a fire talisman into the group of poisonous insects. Zhang Qiling also helped by carrying a backpack and knocking many of them away. Neither of them let the insects get close to them.

Jiang Shaomu took a closer look and found that this was a kind of insect called "Dian Gu". It could directly paralyze the human nerves when it came into contact with the human body, making the person unable to move. If there were more means of attack at this time, the person could only wait to die on the spot.

While Jiang Shaomu continued to burn the living poisonous insects on the ground, he asked the people behind him to see clearly. The movement speed of this poisonous insect was not very fast, so it could only be attacked by surprise. As long as you were careful, it would not be a problem to avoid it.

The people behind nodded and kept it in mind.

It seemed that the only dangerous poisonous insect in this room was the one on the wall. After Zhang Qiling eliminated it with three moves and cracked several dangerous mechanisms that had to be passed, no similar danger occurred, so the people at the door came in.

This tomb chamber was not like the previous princess' tomb. As soon as they entered the door, they could see the coffin in the middle and the funerary objects around it.

The whole coffin was black, and Jiang Shaomu couldn't tell what it was made of, probably some kind of alloy. Fatty Wang went to the side to light a candle, while still looking around to check the burial objects.

Just as he reached the southeast corner and lit the candle, the isolation Gu in Fatty Wang's hand suddenly gave a warning. Fatty Wang didn't care to panic and nimbly dodged to the side and suddenly stepped on the mechanism. Fortunately, Hei Xia Zi happened to be there and pulled him up so he didn't fall.

Before Fatty Wang could recover, he discovered that the floor tile where he had just squatted suddenly changed from a hard lump to a gelatinous state, with a number of soft, slender insects trapped in the gelatin. When Jiang Shaomu saw Fatty Wang's movements and hurried over, he saw those slender insects trying to jump out.

Seeing the fat man's uncomfortable expression after seeing this scene, Jiang Shaomu said: "This is silk Gu. It can be sealed in clay for several years without dying. When the temperature is too high and the clay melts, it will attack humans to try to replenish its energy."

Seeing that everyone was gathering around, he continued, "This kind of bug doesn't even have a very strong jumping ability, so everyone must be careful."

Fatty Wang cursed: "This idiot designer actually foresaw our northern tomb-robbing methods!"
