Chapter 166 [Mercury Cave] (Part 2)

Luo Lie stood in the center of the twelve golden carvings, surrounded by statues of the twelve zodiac signs with beast-headed and human bodies. In the middle of the Mercury Cave, a Western-style sarcophagus was extremely abruptly lying there.

A greedy gaze appeared in the eyes of the Ding Ghost Rat, and his attention was always focused on the twelve golden engraving boards. If these engravings were all made of pure gold, just take one of them and you can enjoy your life's glory and wealth. Because his heartbeat began to accelerate. Unfortunately, in the state of breath holding, this caused his oxygen consumption to increase rapidly. The Ding Ghost Rat was the first person to turn around and leave to breathe.

Bai Yunfei looked at everything in front of him quietly. He didn't dare to speak, but just pointed to the sarcophagus in the middle.

Luo Lie looked at Bai Yunfei and nodded. He understood what Bai Yunfei meant, and the secret might be in the sarcophagus.

Luo Lie waved to Lu Weilin. After Lu Weilin chose the fixing point, he also slid into the hole along the rope. Only by approaching this sarcophagus can you feel its strangeness. When you come to Luo Lie, the current position of the sarcophagus lid is level with their heads. When you bend down and look down from the lower direction, you can see that there is a Roman column supporting each at the first position of the sarcophagus. There is not one unity between the sarcophagus and the Roman column. There is also a relief at the bottom of the sarcophagus, which is a naked half-body carved with a human body, and a snake tail on the lower body, which is the legendary beauty snake.

Luo Lie had already identified that the relief at the bottom of the sarcophagus was Medusa. This woman was not only a snake body, but also her braids were covered with small snakes. Luo Lie could not understand the reason. Why did Zhang Taixu hide Merlot's coffin here? Judging from the mechanism just now, Zhang Taixu still spent some time back then.

Lu Weilin said: "Open it?"

Luo Lie said: "Have you noticed that this coffin is larger than the ordinary one?"

Lu Weilin realized this just after he reminded him that the sarcophagus was heavy, which was different from the common Chinese coffin. Despite this, he believed that if he worked with Luo Lie, he should still be able to open the sarcophagus.

Luo Lie said: "If you give the mask to Bai Yunfei, he should have a way."

Lu Weilin was stunned and immediately understood what he meant. Luo Lie did not trust Bai Yunfei. Among the three people who came with them, Bai Yunfei was obviously the most powerful one. It was very unsafe to leave such a person outside. This is why Luo Lie was not in a hurry to open the sarcophagus.

After hearing Lu Weilin's retelling, Bai Yunfei immediately understood Luo Lie's intention. He nodded, took the gas mask from Lu Weilin's hand, and walked down the rope to Luo Lie's side. Because it was natural to struggle to speak with the gas mask, Bai Yunfei shouted: "What are you planning to do?"

Luo Liedao: "Open this sarcophagus."

Bai Yunfei nodded and then said, "I can't tell that your suspicion is really serious."

Luo Lie said: "If you are suspicious, Mr. Bai will not be able to go here at all."

Bai Yunfei's heart sank, but he could not deny that what Luo Lie said was very reasonable. In fact, along the way, Luo Lie had many opportunities to get rid of them, especially when encountering the tide of corpse worms, Luo Lie could set up a trap and let them fall into the corpse worms. Luo Lie did not do that, but chose to sacrifice himself to save them.

Luo Lie patted the bottom of the sarcophagus and said, "This sarcophagus is rare in the East, but there are many in Europe."

Bai Yunfei said: "Why did the Qing Dynasty emperor spend so much effort to transport a coffin from Europa?"

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "It should be based on local materials. When the construction of the Old Summer Palace, many European craftsmen were hired. These craftsmen were able to design buildings like Dashui Fayuan Yingguan. A mere coffin would naturally not defeat them."

Bai Yunfei said: "Isn't the monster lying inside?"

Luo Lie didn't say anything, but the girl in red in the ice coffin in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm, the princess of Xixia Kingdom, was still vivid after more than 800 years. The female corpse had been taken to Ningxia by Yan Tianxin, with the intention of letting her soul return to her hometown, but the resentment of her lonely soul for hundreds of years.

Bai Yunfei said again: "I'm afraid there are a pile of white bones."

Luo Lie climbed up the sarcophagus and landed his right palm on the samurai relief on the front, but suddenly felt a palpitation. He hurriedly moved his palm away from the cold sarcophagus, calmed down his mood, and then put his palm on again.

Bai Yunfei came to the other end of the sarcophagus, and he also felt the movements and stills in the sarcophagus by touching them. Although Bai Yunfei never believed in evil, since entering the underground palace today, everything he experienced has subverted his past cognition.

Luo Lie felt cold and hard in his palm. The sarcophagus hidden in the mercury pool was separated from the air, so it did not leave too many traces of time. From the outside, the sarcophagus looked very new and still maintained its appearance when it was originally completed. Luo Lie closed his eyes and removed the distracting thoughts in his heart. He did not sense any vitality from the sarcophagus. Even around them, in the mercury cave, there was no other life form except him and Bai Yunfei.

Luo Lie opened his eyes and carefully observed the gap of the coffin lid. The coffin lid and the body were closed with a substance similar to wax. When he pulled out the flying knife and wanted to insert it into the gap, the thin blade could not be inserted into it freely, which shows the precision of workmanship.

The two carefully searched around the sarcophagus and found a gap near the top of the sarcophagus. The gap was enough to insert a crowbar. Luo Lie judged from the appearance that the sarcophagus should have been opened. The gap should be a trace of human damage. Luo Lie took out the crowbar he carried with him, inserted the tip from the gap, and raised the cover with both arms. Bai Yunfei grabbed the edge of the coffin and helped push it aside. Because the position of the sarcophagus was high, the two of them were unable to exert force and took a lot of effort to push the cover open. They were afraid that the cover of the coffin directly hit the ground and touched the mechanism. The two worked together to lift the cover of the coffin and spear aside.

There was no hidden weapon in the sarcophagus. There was a white skeleton lying. The skeleton was wearing golden armor and a golden helmet. His hands were closed on his chest, and he maintained almost the same posture as the relief warrior on the coffin lid, but he did not hold any weapons in his hand. Most of the dead body was submerged in gold coins, and the gold coins buried with him accounted for almost half of the sarcophagus.

Bai Yunfei also noticed this and guessed in his heart that someone might have stolen the sword from the deceased. Although there were many treasures in the coffin, there was no safe that Bai Yunfei wanted to find. He was inevitably a little disappointed. To be fair, he didn't want to continue staying in this weird underground world, and his potential intention was to leave here as soon as possible.

Luo Lie's foot had already stepped into the sarcophagus. He seemed to hear a call from some kind of sound in his heart, and he wanted to find out.

After relieving, Lu Weilin came to the Mercury Cave again and observed the situation below from a high place. Because he could not see the details in the sarcophagus clearly between a distance. Just as he was trying to observe, he suddenly felt something strange behind him. When he turned around, he saw the burrowed gopher standing behind him with his head tilted, and his blood-covered eyes looked at him strangely.

Lu Weilin did not ask questions because he was worried about inhaling mercury steam, but an ominous feeling came to his heart. The goblock staggered towards him, and Lu Weilin retreated, and he had an extremely keen sense of danger.

The goblin suddenly burst out with a shrill scream, then opened his arms and rushed towards Lu Weilin. Lu Weilin grabbed his arms and tried to push him away. The goblin looked like a madman, opened his mouth, and blood was dripping between his teeth. His white teeth tried to bite Lu Weilin's throat.

Lu Weilin raised his foot to press against the lower abdomen of the Dingmouse, making it impossible for him to succeed. Then he kicked the Dingmouse out of his side with all his strength. The Dingmouse fell to the ground, and soon got up from the ground in an extremely strange posture. First, he raised his butt and his jaw against the ground. He raised his head and looked up at Lu Weilin, and his throat made a strange laugh.

Lu Weilin was already suffocated at this time. He wanted to go out for ventilation, but was blocked by the burrowing gopher. The burrowing gopher stood up and attacked Lu Weilin again.

Lu Weilin didn't know what was going on with him? In a critical moment, he raised his butt and slammed hard on the face of the Dingmouse. The Dingmouse's head turned to the side due to Lu Weilin's heavy blow. However, he seemed to have lost the pain and still approached Lu Weilin at all costs.

After hitting the goblock, Lu Weilin tried to escape from the gap beside him, first went outside to breathe and then considered how to deal with the situation in front of him. He never wanted the goblocklock to fly over, grabbed his left leg, and then opened his mouth to try to bite his calf.

Lu Weilin didn't know if this guy had changed like this just because he was bitten by a rat. Seeing that the goblin was about to bite him again, he raised his right foot and kicked it hard on the face of the goblin. The goblin was kicked by him so hard that his head was tilted back, but he still refused to relax Lu Weilin.

Lu Weilin could no longer hold on, so he raised his pistol and aimed at the right shoulder of the drilling gopher to shoot.

After being shot by the gobeast, his arms were relaxed slightly. After Lu Weilin broke free, he quickly fled to the entrance of the hole. When he came to the place where the air was fresh, he took a few breaths of air and then the suffocation disappeared. At this time, the gobeast followed him again, and the injured shoulders were covered with black blood, with a strange smile on his face, and his mouth opened and closed, and it seemed that he was already unconscious.

Lu Weilin roared angrily: "Stop for me, otherwise I will be rude to you."

His threat did not play any role in the drilling gopher. The drilling gopher still walked towards him step by step. Lu Weilin had no choice but to raise his pistol and shoot the drilling gopher's right leg. The drilling gopher bent his right leg, and then dragged his injured right leg and limped towards Lu Weilin.
