Will succeed

Chapter 61 Coffin

Therefore, even if there was no movement, everyone did not take it lightly, but became more cautious.

Suddenly, Zhong Li yelled: "Pay attention to your surroundings!" The sudden yell made everyone startled, but apart from being frightened, everyone knew that Zhong Li would not shoot for no reason, and they all paid attention to the changes around them.

Soon, everyone understood why Zhong Li drank so much.

It turned out that a few light blue bugs flew out from nowhere.Under the illumination of the night pearl, these bugs were not obvious.If it wasn't for Zhongli's good ears, he might not be able to detect some movement when he heard it.

In a place like the imperial mausoleum, no one would dare to underestimate even a small bug.Just in case, someone raised a sword and slashed at the bug.

I thought there would be some resistance, but I didn't expect to cut the worm in half with ease.However, before everyone was delighted, they saw a few worms in the tunnel turned into many worms flying out of the incense burner.

There are incense burners on both sides of the corridor, and the incense burner is almost as tall as a person. One can imagine how huge the number of insects flying out of it is.

Everyone was shocked, they still don't know what these worms can do, but it must be something unusual to appear in the imperial tomb.If these bugs are very dangerous, and there are such a large number, they will not be able to kill them all.

While observing, Li Jue walked quickly to the next stone gate, intending to open it to avoid direct contact with these weird insects.

I thought that this stone door would be pushed open like the first one, or it would be opened with blood injection like the second one.But Li Jue found that there was no blood gutter like before on the stone gate, only a hole beside it for no apparent reason, and pushing it hard was fruitless.

Seeing those little bugs getting closer and closer to them, Li Jue, who was always calm, couldn't help becoming anxious.Just when Li Jue was concentrating on looking for a breakthrough, a scream suddenly sounded in the corridor.

Looking back, it was the second child, and a raging fire ignited on his body.The flame was light blue, completely different from the usual dazzling red light.

Li Jue didn't know what caused it, so he yelled for the others to help put out the fire.Unexpectedly, no matter what method everyone uses, the fire will not go out, it is extremely strange.

"Your Highness, it's that kind of bug! As soon as the bug touched the second child, the second child caught fire! This bug must not be an ordinary thing!" Zhang Xinyue yelled, with anxiety on her face.

The insects were flying all over the sky in the corridor, and they flew to everyone's side in a short while, and everyone took up their swords and slashed hard.Zhong Li dodged to Li Jue's side, looked at Li Jue who was at a loss, and said in a firm tone, "Your Highness, don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, your subordinates will block you! Your Highness, open this door as soon as possible, so that you can It's safe."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Li did not stop, and returned to the battle situation again.

Li Jue couldn't help becoming nervous, the tight time made his palms start to sweat.But now, everyone's life is tied to him alone, and he can't let his wild thoughts.

Trying to calm himself down, Li Jue settled his heart little by little.He looked at this stone gate, not letting it go.

The screams coming from behind tormented his mind, obviously someone else suffered.Both Zhang Xinyue and Zhongli, who had extraordinary abilities, also failed, looking extremely embarrassed.

Li Jue punched the stone gate, venting his anxiety.Due to the dangers of the imperial mausoleum, Li Jue was covered with dust all over his body.

With a punch, the dust fell on the stone door, and some traces were gradually printed.Li Jue was overjoyed, and regardless of whether there would be insects flying out of the incense burner, he stretched his hand into an incense burner near the stone gate.

Fortunately, there were no such bugs in it.

He sprinkled the ashes he grabbed onto the stone gate, and more and more traces began to appear.A line of words appeared in front of Li Jue's eyes like this: If you want to enter this door, offer it with your arm.

Only now did Li Jue realize what the hole next to him was for, and the hole was indeed as big as an arm.However, in the past, when funerals came in, it was impossible to sacrifice one person's arm every time. There must be other solutions to this level.

Of course, Li Jue and the others didn't bring anything similar to laughter, and there was no such thing at the scene.What's more, look at the densely packed tiny fluff in the hole, if you put anything in it, you will definitely be noticed.

They don't have much time, and now it seems that the only way is to use their arms!

When Li Jue was about to give up his arm, a person was one step ahead of him.It can be seen from the fresh blood that this arm has just been separated from the body. Li Jue looked at Zhang Xinyue with a face full of pain, and his heart was complicated.

Seeing Li Jue looking over, Zhang Xinyue covered up her pain, and put on a smile: "Your Highness, let the subordinates do this... for such things."

His voice was intermittent, as if it would disappear at any moment.The stone door opened slowly, but Li Jue was in no mood to look any further.

Suddenly, Li Jue grabbed another handful of incense ash from the censer, and wiped it on Zhang Xinyue's severed arm: "Incense ash can stop the bleeding, don't worry, it will definitely save you after you get out!"

Zhang Xinyue acted indifferent, and seemed indifferent to the loss of her arm: "It's okay, it's just an arm, as long as my life is still alive, my subordinates can still protect His Highness."

Hearing this, Li Jue's eyes turned red.At this time, another scream came out from the tunnel, and another person died.

Before it was too late to be sad, Li Jue personally helped up Zhang Xinyue who had lost a lot of blood, grabbed another handful of incense ashes, and said, "The stone gate has opened, quickly retreat!"

Hearing Li Jue's words, the rest of the people moved towards the stone gate.When they caught a glimpse of the arm sticking out beside the stone gate, everyone couldn't help but wet their eyes.

After passing the stone gate, everyone quickly closed it to prevent the insects from entering.

Li Jue smeared half of the incense ash he grabbed on Zhang Xinyue's severed arm, and asked others to smear the rest on the bleeding wound.

At a glance, there were only four people left in the original eight-member team.

Li Jue's heart was very heavy, but he could only grit his teeth and move forward.

There are no glittering jewels in this stone room, but only coffins.Li Jue and the others were overjoyed. After going through so many traps, they finally saw the dawn of hope.

The tomb is very large, with four coffins and two ear chambers.The funerary objects are placed in the ear chamber, most of which are fragile and large things such as porcelain vases.

Treasures like the Resurrection Orb should be kept inside the coffin to keep the corpse from decaying.

However, the four coffins were not placed randomly.One of the relatively more ornate and large coffins is placed in the middle, and the other three surround it, just like the stars and the moon.

Moreover, there is a circle of water around the coffin, which is dark, and I don't know what is inside.But judging from the unsettled water surface, there are not only many things in it, but they are also not small.

Seeing such a situation, a normal person would know where the most likely location of the Resurrection Orb is.Now, the biggest problem is how to cross the circle of water.

Although its width can be crossed, no one knows what is inside, nor what will happen if it is crossed.

"Your Highness, ask your subordinates to go down and try." Zhang Xinyue covered her arm that had stopped bleeding, with a look of death on her face.

Li Jue raised his hand and said, "No need, take care of your injuries, I want you to get out alive!"

As he spoke, Li Jue took off his outer robe, wrapped it into a ball, and threw it towards the coffin.The robe flew by fast, but it landed even faster.

I don't know what jumped up from the water, but it knocked down the robe all at once.

"This..." Involuntarily, several people showed serious expressions.

Li Jue looked at several people, a little complicated.

"Your Highness, this subordinate has a solution." The person who spoke was a thin man with obvious calluses on his hands. It could be seen at a glance that he was a person who often used crossbow arrows.

He is called the fifth child.

Sure enough, his weapon was an arm-length crossbow.Shoot the crossbow at the coffin, and you can clearly see that there is a nearly transparent line connected to the crossbow.

The fifth child looked at Li Jue, pointed to the line, and said, "Your Highness, this subordinate can use this line to swing himself over. Then, the subordinate can take out the things."

Hearing this, Li Jue frowned, looked at the unaffected line on the water surface, and was a little worried: "No, although this line is not affected, if a person's body flies past, it will definitely be caught by the pool water." devour."

"Your Highness, if you don't try it, how will you know it won't work? Your subordinates can pass by quickly, maybe the things in the pool can't react at all, so it's not certain."

After finishing speaking, the fifth child disregarded Li Jue's order and swung past.

Halfway through, Lao Wu seemed to see hope, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face, but then his smile froze on his face.

It turned out that just as he was about to reach the other side of the coffin, a creature shaped like a fish jumped out of the pool and bit Lao Wu's leg, and there was also a thin thread in the pool that hung Lao Wu's waist. Wait, there should be something like a hook on the thin thread, because blood is constantly oozing from Lao Wu's waist.

That thin thread should have been shot into Lao Wu's flesh.

The strange fish is not the most important thing, it bites and bites.But that thin line was different, it looked like it was clearly trying to drag the fifth child into the pool.

If it wasn't for Lao Wu's crossbow arrows firmly nailed to the coffin, he would have been dragged directly into the pool.

However, before Lao Wu could rejoice, countless thin threads shot out from the pool, Lao Wu couldn't help it, he gritted his teeth, freed up a hand with a dagger, and gouged out the hooked flesh from his waist.

The flesh and blood fell into the pool, and the strange fish let go of the fifth child when it saw it, and chased after the piece of flesh.

Without any resistance, Lao Wu dodged those thin threads in time and arrived next to the coffin smoothly.

Not caring about treating the wound on his waist caused by gouging out a piece of flesh, Lao Wu looked at the coffin in the middle, trying to find a way to open it.
