Chapter 531 Sea Tower Stone Wall
It was just daybreak, and the lighting conditions were not very good in the deep pit at the bottom of the swamp.
But it was enough to see the underground tomb that had been buried for many years and finally saw the light of day...
Dust particles floated in beams of sunlight. The golden iron rod passed from top to bottom, carrying Lynch and Robin, and slowly came to the underground tomb. They walked down from the golden iron rod one after another, and Lynch flipped it casually, and the golden iron rod fell into his hand under the traction of magnetism. Behind the two of them, a black battle armor with narrow eyes and glimmering light also floated over and turned his head to observe the underground tomb.
The underground tomb chamber is naturally a "chamber".
In fact, this is a huge stone chamber. It goes deep into the back of the elephant master, forming a large underground space. The four walls, as well as the ground under the feet of Lynch, Robin and "BIB", are all quite regular and solid bluestone slabs.
Lynch and the stand-in looked at each other. This environment reminded them of the whale Labu on the island.
Lab's body was modified by One Piece's ship doctor Crocus. There is a passage that looks like a corridor to humans for Doctor Crocus to enter and exit, allowing him to enter Lab's body at any time to inject sedatives and treat his injuries.
Compared with the level of body transformation of Lab, this underground tomb on the back of the huge elephant, which is only a dozen meters high at most, probably did not even completely pierce its thick skin... Even if it penetrated the skin, it was just equivalent to a sore on the back, which was covered with a "Band-Aid" bluestone slab.
On the bluestone walls and floors, scratches can be seen at any time.
Some have several scratches in parallel, with rough marks and irregular outlines.
Some of them are scattered one by one, and some are crisscrossed, with narrower and deeper cuts...
"There are claw marks from wild beasts, and sword marks from swordsmen's strikes."
Robin stroked the ancient scratches on the bluestone wall, and looked at Lynch. They both remembered the corpse they found at the beginning, the king of the Mink Tribe hundreds of years ago - the Wolf Lord.
The Wolf Lord is here. Has he fought with someone——with a swordsman?
Is this also why the Wolf Lord died unknown in this underground tomb and was eventually buried under the Great Swamp?
Robin carefully observed the structure, layout, materials, and decorative features of the tomb... Based on these layouts, she quickly deduced the location of the tomb where the coffin was actually placed.
"It should be over there."
Robin led the way, taking Lynch and "BIB" to bypass other roads and head towards the tomb. Soon they heard the voices of the Minks who had gone ahead.
"What's going on?!" The exclamation was obviously from Cat Viper.
"Don't shout, youkai cat... this is a tomb related to the Wolf Lord and Kozuki." The voice with hidden anger was obviously Inuarashi's.
Then the cat and the dog started bickering in low voices. Lynch and Robin followed the sound and turned a corner into a doorless tomb room. They were surprised by what they saw.
As Robin had expected, there was a coffin in the middle of the tomb - and as expected, there was no coffin lid; the coffin lid was obviously the one that Robin and his friends had discovered before, engraved with the Kozuki family crest and ancient characters.
Cats, dogs and other Musketeer fur tribes were gathered around the uncovered coffin.
What surprised Robin was that beyond the coffin, there was a wall of stone with a special color opposite, with dense ancient characters! What surprised Lin Qi was the scene inside the coffin that Cat and Dog were surrounding. He was taller, and he saw at a glance that there was a corpse lying in the open coffin! How could there be another corpse? And lying in this coffin? No wonder Cat Viper screamed in surprise just now... After all, before they came down, they thought that the three-meter-tall human was the person buried in the coffin.
But since there is already a corpse in this coffin, who was the person they fished out before?
"It's a bit smaller than that one..."
Lin Qi walked to the coffin and observed the corpse in the coffin with the cats, dogs and other fur tribes. Compared with the three-meter human skeleton found last night, the one in the coffin was obviously much thinner.
Cat Viper frowned, "It seems that this person is the one who wrote the ancient characters on the back of the coffin lid? And the corpse we found before..."
"Perhaps it is 'Tsuki Gumi'!" Inuarashi said solemnly and shook his head, "Or perhaps it is neither..."
Cat Viper rolled his eyes. "Is that what you have to say?"
He gritted his teeth and growled, "You've seen those claw and sword marks outside! The Wolf Lord had fought with someone here, so he died inexplicably!" He counted the cat's claws one by one, "The only people we know here are the Wolf Lord, Guangyue, and that Tianyue! Guangyue and the Wolf Lord are as close as brothers, so it's naturally not them who are fighting, then it must be Tianyue! - The Wolf Lord died at the hands of Tianyue, in a fight with Tianyue Jushi! And the one lying in this sarcophagus is a certain Guangyue who hates Tianyue Jushi!! "
Inuarashi stared at the corpse in the coffin.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Cat Viper said with hatred: "This explains why Guangyue in the coffin said, 'Tianyue saw me, this resentment and hatred will never fade' - the Wolf Lord died because of Tianyue's sight, and Guangyue, who is as close to us as a brother, of course resented him immensely! He also said, 'I feel guilty, and I will never be able to repay it in my lifetime' - isn't he saying that he blamed himself for not being able to save the Wolf Lord?!"
"You old dog can't even see such an obvious thing. Are you sympathizing with that bastard named 'Amatsuki Gushi'?" Cat Viper didn't know what kind of memories were brought up. With bloodshot eyes, he touched Inuarashi's forehead and growled, "I knew it - you traitor are not on the side of 'Kozuki'!!!"
"Crazy cat, have you had enough?!" Inuarashi was also furious, with his dog head against Cat Viper's head, "I just want to say that things are not that simple!"
"Think about it carefully - if the facts are true, why hasn't any information about the Wolf Lord and the Kozuki in the coffin been passed down to our country?!" He pointed his dog's paw at the corpse lying in the coffin, "If it is as you said, a 'Kozuki' hundreds of years ago failed to save the Wolf Lord and therefore felt guilty! Then why did he have the time to carve words on the back of the coffin lid and lie in the coffin peacefully, but didn't bring the truth out of this tomb - to let us understand what happened?!"
Cat Viper was furious and said, "Maybe he was just too badly injured to leave? Maybe a swamp appeared and he couldn't get out? Are you doubting the reputation of the samurai of the Kozuki family? I really misjudged you!"
The two of them were already full of hostility after just two words, and were about to start fighting regardless of the situation. When the members of the musketeers didn't know what to do, Lin Qi said leisurely: "Did you forget something?"
The cat and the dog leaned their heads against each other, panting angrily, and turned to look at him at the same time.
Lynch pointed ahead, and the cat and dog turned their heads to the other side. They saw a stone wall engraved with ancient characters. Nicole Robin was standing by the wall with her back to everyone, looking up and observing intently.
"The truth you want may be well engraved on it!" Lynch said unhappily, "Why are you in such a hurry before Robin finishes interpreting it?"
At this time, Robin reached out to touch the stone wall engraved with dense ancient characters, then suddenly retracted his hand and exclaimed in a low voice:
"This entire wall... is made of seastone?"
