Volume 1 Jin Dynasty Ancient Tombs Chapter 14 Lower Layer Wang Tomb

  With a "thud", the dry corpse fell to the ground like a ball, rolled back, hooked up Old Liang's body with his hands, and retreated back to the side of the pottery jar. At this time, the sound of gunfire also started, as well as Zhu Baozi's loud cursing, it seemed that he had also formally turned against Liu Wei.

  Shitou was holding a military shovel and standing in front of me, I quickly got up, fortunately Shitou rushed over at the last moment, otherwise I would have been done for today, and the shotgun didn't know where it fell.

  After being patted back by the military shovel, Ahn Qi kept sucking on her little finger, making a pitiful face. But I knew this was a sign that she was about to blow up, so I quickly pulled on Shi Tou's clothes and slowly backed away.

  "Squeak," a sharp cry like that of a mouse, and Ah Gui came running over on all fours, using his hands as legs. Bang! The stone was knocked onto me, and the two of us fell together, rolling to one side. I saw that the military shovel in Shi Tou's hand had been broken, evidence of Ah Gui's powerful blow.

  The dry and withered body suddenly sprang up, its mouth wide open as it pounced on us. The stone general used his shovel to fling it away, but the blow had no effect on the dry and withered body. Suddenly, the stone general flipped over onto his back, kicking the dry and withered body in the chest, sending it tumbling to one side. But then the stone general fell over again, rolling around before scrambling to his feet. As soon as I got up, I saw that the dry and withered body was now less than three meters away from me. It suddenly stood upright, its body contorted like a monkey jumping down from a tree, baring its teeth and claws as it pounced on us. A loud gunshot rang out, and the dry and withered body was knocked to the ground by the massive force of the hunting rifle. I rushed forward and kicked it, but tears instantly welled up in my eyes - it hurt so much! It felt like I had kicked a rock. Before I could even recover, I was dragged away by a powerful force - it was the stone general, who had come running over.

  The "creaking" sound grew louder, and the stone suddenly stopped. From under his feet, he picked up a piece of copper tripod debris, rushed back, and collided violently with the drought demon. Although the drought demon was knocked back, the stone was even more severe, and the debris was broken. The person rolled on the ground several times, feeling like he had hit some kind of mechanism. With a loud "crack", a hole suddenly appeared under the stone's feet. I rushed over to grab his hand, but it was too late, and he fell in anyway.

  "Rustle rustle," the locusts flew quickly towards me.

  "Asshole," I flipped off Ahn Qi, and then the stone also jumped down.

  I fell less than three meters and sat on the ground, with only a small hole beside me, just enough for someone to crawl in. Fortunately, the drought demon did not chase after me, which put my mind at ease. What made me curious was that I and the stone fell almost at the same time! Where did the stone go?

  "Rocks, rocks," I shouted twice inside the cave, and there was an echo, but no response from the rocks. There was only one path around me, and although I was a bit scared, I had to grit my teeth and take out my flashlight, holding it in my mouth as I crawled into the cave.

  I thought this should be a passage dug by the tomb builders, after all, it's not uncommon for tomb builders to die inside their creations in ancient times. They would also leave a way out for themselves. I naturally assumed that following this passage would lead me out of the ancient tomb, but soon discovered that the passage had reached its end.

  I didn't think the ancient tomb was only this close to the surface. Stretching my upper body out of the cave and shining my flashlight, I couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, what kind of place is this?"

  At the entrance of the cave, rows and rows of life-sized terracotta soldiers stood upright, with occasional scattered skeletons visible. The terracotta soldiers were divided into four columns: one column consisted entirely of infantrymen, another was all cavalrymen, a third column comprised soldiers driving chariots, and the fourth column had archers behind them. However, in the middle of the four columns, there was an empty space with only a large terracotta flag standing upright. Just as I was looking around, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards me. I muttered to myself that something was wrong, fearing that I might have encountered a wild boar. Before I could retreat back into the cave, my foot slipped and I fell to the ground outside the entrance. I pulled out the Swiss Army knife that I always carried with me, ready to take action.

  "Don't move, it's me."

  "Stones," I sprang up, the sound of stones was too familiar to me. I patted my buttocks and asked, "Just now I called you from behind, why didn't you answer?"

  "Are you calling me from behind?" Shi Tou was taken aback, furrowed his brow and said "This is strange, I just fell down and heard your voice calling me at the entrance of the cave. When I came down, the voice was over there," he said, pointing to the left front with his hand. The light from the flashlight only illuminated the soldiers, but couldn't see the end. Shi Tou thought for a moment and then said "I walked in that direction for a while, if I hadn't heard your voice echoing from behind, I wouldn't have been able to come back."

  "What did you hear me call out in the cave? What did I say?" I asked hastily.

  The stone thought again and said, "I don't remember, it seems like I didn't say anything? But my heart tells me you were calling me at the entrance of the cave."

  "My goodness, this is really strange." I also can't figure out what's going on.

  "Alright, we've finally gotten rid of those people, let's hurry up and find a way out!" When it comes to things I don't understand, I usually just don't think about them. This is also why I'm not good at studying. During class, when the teacher asks questions, I often don't get it, and afterwards, I naturally don't feel like thinking about it either.

  Just as I and Shi Tou were about to take a step, a sound suddenly came from inside the cave. I listened carefully, and my face changed color in an instant - it was the sound of something crawling. I stared at Shi Tou and said, "It's Han Kuai coming after us."

  The stone looked much calmer, with a bullet in his mouth, took out the shotgun and loaded the bullet, saying to me "You get out of the way first."

  "Old Three, hold on a bit." A voice suddenly came from inside the cave.

  I exchanged a glance with Shi Tou and whispered "Zhu Bao Zi."

  The stone signaled me to turn off the flashlight, and he squatted down beside it, holding his gun against the wall of the cave entrance. I quickly ran behind a soldier and hid. Soon, a bright light shot out from the entrance, and then I saw a fat head sticking out. Before I could react, Shi Tou had already grabbed Zhu Bajie's head and pulled him out of the hole, pinning him to the ground.

  "Ah," Zhu Baozi cried out in terror, probably thinking the stone was a rice ball. But when the stone was pressed against his head with a gun, he returned to normal and asked "Who?"

  I stood up and turned on the flashlight "Zhū Pàngzi, we meet again."

  Zhu Pangzi recognized my voice, but the stone pressed against him, he couldn't turn his head around, and coldly said "Hehe, it's Lin brother."

  "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Old Three also crawled out of the hole. Seeing Old Three's appearance, I was shocked. At this time, Old Three was covered in blood all over his body. The upper half of his clothes had been torn off and wrapped around his left shoulder. His entire left arm was gone, and there was a fist-sized hole in his belly, with intestines bulging out. There was also a wound on his leg that caught the eye. It's really not easy to be alive.

  "Stone, let him go! We are allies." I said with a smile to Stone.

  The stone loosened Zhu Bajie, and Zhu Bajie quickly got up, without saying a word to us, turned around and carried Lao San out of the cave, put him on the ground, tore off his clothes, and wrapped them around Lao San's belly.

  "What's wrong with him, how did he end up like this?"

  "It's not Liu Wei," Zhu Pangzi said with a fierce glare in his eyes, "He actually opened fire on us and attracted that monster."

  "What about Liu Wei and them?" I asked again.

  "I don't know?" Zhu Pangzi shook his head and said with a hint of emotion, "I'm afraid they won't be able to escape. If it wasn't for Lao San sacrificing himself to protect me, I would have died at the hands of that monster long ago."

  "Hey Zhu Baozi, you should be a frequent loser too! Why don't you prepare more?" I asked with a hint of teasing.

  Zhu Pangzi chuckled and revealed a rare silly expression, saying "Now where can you find so many ancient tombs to rob? Besides, we didn't encounter these things when we entered the ancient tomb before."

  "Hey, how many ancient tombs have you been in?"

  Zhu Baozi stretched out two fingers, and I exclaimed in surprise, "You've only been to the ancient tomb twice?"

  Zhu Pangzi awkwardly smiled and said "Not that I've been in twice, but this is the second time."

  "Hey, then what's with the act of being my senior?" I took a step forward and cursed at him, pointing at his nose, but he surprisingly had an unusually good temper and didn't get angry.

  "Huh, suddenly I felt something was off, it seemed like I had stepped on something, just like a fallen tree branch. As my foot was about to lift up, it was suddenly entwined, and before I could even react, my foot was yanked upwards with great force, causing me to be upside down, my head making intimate contact with the ground, the pain caused tears to flow out instantly, and stars were flashing before my eyes."

  "Rock save me!" After shouting this sentence, I felt my body being swung back and forth.
