The Wudang Junior Master

Chapter 278: The Frightened Lu Linglong

Zhuge Qing walked up to the corpse and poked it with his hand. The skin felt very hard, like camphor bark.

"Although these corpses look like they were tortured to death, but..."

Zhuge Qing paused, looked at Ma Xianhong and said, "Judging from what we experienced when we first entered this place, I suspect these corpses are more like the product of some failed experiment."

"The product of a failed experiment?" Ma Xianhong and Ma Long were stunned.

Wang Ye said, "You should still remember the zombie with a scorpion tail we encountered when we first came down, right?"

Ma Xianhong and the other man nodded. They would certainly not forget this.

"Where do you think the scorpion tail on the back of that zombie came from? It can't have grown on its own, right?"

"If it didn't grow naturally, then someone must have modified its body, ultimately creating a monster like this."

"If that zombie had been transformed before his death, then what was their purpose in transforming a human? Could it be to guard the ancient tomb here?"

Ma Long asked puzzledly: "Isn't it?"

"It's possible, but it's not like it." Zhuge Qing took over the conversation. "I've seen many places like tomb palaces when I traveled, but they are completely different from this place."

"Generally speaking, a normal ancient tomb wouldn't be this large, and it would be very scattered, with secret passages everywhere."

"A normal ancient tomb generally consists of a corridor, an annex, a burial pit, and a main burial chamber. They vary in size, but generally do not deviate from this structure."

"But this place, rather than a tomb, feels more like a slaughterhouse or something else. In short, it's completely different from a normal ancient tomb."

After Zhuge Qing said this, Ma Xianhong and Ma Long realized belatedly that all this was indeed unusual.

Yes, generally speaking, no matter how big the tomb is, there won’t be so many dead people.

Even though there was a custom of burying people alive with the dead in ancient times, when they first came down, they encountered a large-scale mass grave where the scorpion-tailed corpse was.

And here, we encountered a large group of people who were tortured to death.

The most important thing is that these people died miserably. Compared with ordinary burials, it can be described as a brutal massacre.

Generally speaking, for burial sacrifices, whether it was a human or an animal, they were simply killed and buried in a pit.

But here, the ways of death are different, which is quite strange.

After all, the ancients were not idle. Killing people was not enough to satisfy the emperor's will. If they wanted to use them as burial companions, they could just kill them. Why would they go to so much trouble and create so many strange ways of death?

So that these dead people can "protect" the ancient tomb after death and fight against all enemies who enter the tomb?

This reason does not seem to be sufficient. After all, if this is true, then the identity of the owner of the ancient tomb must be exaggerated.

How come a figure like the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor came out of such a remote place?

After all, this is Ailao Mountain. Most people who come here will die in this primeval forest.

There is already a natural barrier protecting it, yet so much manpower and resources were spent to dig such a large tomb here, and there are so many strange corpses. It can't be that immortals are buried here, right?

They didn’t think so before, but after Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing said this, Ma Xianhong and Ma Long also felt that something was amiss.

"But how can you be sure what experiments these people have done?" Ma Xianhong asked.

Wang Ye held up a finger and said, "Well, that's just speculation. After all, the corpses here all look so strange, it makes people think of some biological experiment."

"And if these people are really the 'medicine inducers' or 'guinea pigs' of ancient times, then this ancient tomb is very interesting, and we may encounter more troubles in the future."

Zhuge Qing said: "Yes, we just need to move forward and see what else we encounter."

"After all, we've been here for quite some time, and so far we haven't come across any proper tombs or coffins, but we've encountered a lot of strange things."

"If our guess is correct, then this place is not a tomb, but some kind of ruins."

........

"Sister Baoer, are you done?"

"OK."

"Okay then, come back quickly, it's about to explode."

"Oh."

After making sure everything was safe, Zhang Chulan nodded to Tang Wenlong and said, "Blow it up!"

Tang Wenlong was holding the remote control and looked very excited.

The last time he played with bombs was on Nason Island. Ever since he tasted the art of explosion, he fell in love with the earth-shaking feeling.

After the four of them fell down, they ended up in such a terrible place.

There were dead ends in all directions, and only one road in front led to a door, but the door was locked and could not be pushed open no matter how hard they tried.

So, Zhang Chulan waved his hand and decided to use explosives to blow open the tomb door.

At this time, there is no time to worry about destroying cultural relics. After all, in this underground world, the most important thing is to save your life.

click!

As Tang Wenlong pressed the switch, the explosives that had been placed long ago were immediately activated. After a ten-second countdown, there was a loud explosion.

Fortunately, they calculated and did not dare to put too much explosives, otherwise the place might have collapsed.

but--

Boom! ! !

As the explosives exploded, dust and rubble above heads fell like heavy rain.

Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Lu Linglong and Tang Wenlong, all four of them were reduced to ashes and looked extremely embarrassed.

"Ahem, damn, it should be about time. Don't let this place collapse and bury us."

Zhang Chulan fanned away some of the dust in front of him, then looked towards the previously closed tomb door.

There is no doubt about the power of the explosives. The tomb door that the four of them had been unable to open before was directly blown open with a big gap.

It was not until now that Zhang Chulan understood why they had been unable to open the door no matter how hard they tried.

It turns out that the tomb door was a gate stone, and the whole piece weighed about dozens of tons.

Fortunately, they brought a lot of things with them, and there was no quicksand trap here. Otherwise, with their violent way of blowing up the door, they would have been buried in the quicksand trap.

"It's open, let's go in." Zhang Chulan said to the three people behind him.

The four of them squeezed in through the exploded gap, then used flashlights to illuminate the surrounding environment and situation.

"Oh my god! There's a ghost!"

Lu Linglong suddenly screamed, her pink hair stood up, and she jumped onto Zhang Chulan's back.

Zhang Chulan was frightened by this before he could understand what was happening. He didn't care about Lu Linglong locking his neck and quickly looked forward.

When Zhang Chulan shone the flashlight, he took a deep breath and his scalp began to tingle.

He finally understood why Lu Linglong was so scared.

Not far in front of them, a woman dressed in ancient costume was kneeling.

The woman's face was lifelike, but it was frighteningly pale. When the light shone on her, her skin reflected a cold white light, without any trace of blood.

Dead? Living?
