Chapter 168 Humanoid bloodthirsty bat!
Several people grabbed their weapons. Luo Jianguo and Zheng Tong took the hunting rifle and semi-automatic rifle dropped by the tomb robbers. They went up the stone steps step by step and came to the top of the platform. The coffin looked intact.
Ermao Road:
"Yuemin, this thing is thousands of years old. The coffins outside are all broken and tattered, but this one is in good condition. What the hell is this Huangchangtichou made of?"
Zhong Yuemin said:
"'Huangchang' refers to the peeled cypress wood, which is called 'huangchang' because of its yellow heartwood color. 'Tichou' refers to the basic structural characteristics, which is basically laying out and stacking the cypress wood layers flat and vertically to the side panels of the coffin chamber. Look at this coffin, isn't it made like this?
This cypress beam is hard, thick, and heavy, making it a great anti-theft measure. Even if tomb robbers were to break into the tomb, they would still have to struggle to open it."
As soon as the words fell, the main coffin suddenly shook, "bang bang bang..." The dull sound seemed like something was trying to escape from inside. Several people's nerves immediately tensed up. Could it be that there really was an old witch?
The next second, "click", the bottom of the coffin suddenly popped out an animal's head, not from the inside of the coffin, but from the built platform.
When everyone saw it, they thought it looked like a wolf's head, with bared teeth and a ferocious face. However, after the upper body of this unknown creature from the ground came out, it actually had wings. This was not a wolf at all, but a large vampire bat. The joints of the wings on both sides were like pterosaurs among dinosaurs, with long sharp claws hooked on the ground, and the whole body was struggling to crawl out. This thing was definitely beyond their understanding of bats. The wingspan was probably two or three meters, and it must have weighed hundreds of pounds.
No matter what species it is, they must not let this beast out, otherwise they will be the ones who suffer.
Zhong Yuemin shouted at Zheng Tong and the other man, "What are you still standing there for? Shoot!"
"Oh, oh, good..." The two of them hurriedly pulled the trigger, "bang bang bang...", and used up all the bullets. The humanoid bat's head was immediately bleeding, but it did not die. Instead, it became more violent and ferocious, trying desperately to get out. Zhong Yuemin used the engineer shovel in his hand to chop directly at the bloody forehead of the bat, once, twice... In the end, half of its head was chopped off, and it was finally dead. This bloody and smelly creature was really strong and invulnerable to swords and guns. If this beast had not trapped itself, it would not be so easy to kill.
Everyone was still in shock when another unexpected event occurred. There seemed to be a low roar from under the platform. "Hiss, hiss, hiss..." It was very sharp. The dead humanoid bat's upper body began to move strangely again.
"Fuck, it's not dead yet, I'll give it one more blow!" Cao Gang was about to drop the machete in his hand.
"Don't cut, don't cut!"
Zhong Yuemin hurriedly stopped him and whispered:
"It's not the beasts that are moving, it's the ones below that are trying to climb up. We've disturbed their sleep. I'm afraid the inside of this high platform is the lair of these beasts."
"hiss……"
Everyone took a deep breath and lowered their voices consciously.
"Yuemin, what should we do now? We've run out of bullets. If we let these beasts out, we'll end up like these tomb robbers."
"Find an exit, find an exit quickly."
"There's no exit! These tomb robbers must have had their throats bitten and blood sucked dry by these bats the moment they entered. The tunnel they used to enter collapsed and buried them."
"I'm not talking about the holes dug by tomb robbers, but the ones made by the craftsmen who built this mausoleum thousands of years ago. Normally, these people would be buried with the deceased, but they didn't want to die like that, so they definitely left a way for themselves to escape when they built the mausoleum. I think this escape hole must be somewhere in the tomb. Let's find it quickly."
"...No, it's been thousands of years. Even if it existed, it would have collapsed long ago."
"No, think about it. There's no food or water in this tomb. These bats are bigger than adult men, so they need to eat and drink, right? And they're not gods. There must be a passage connecting to the outside world nearby. Find it quickly."
A few people thought the same and immediately dispersed to start searching. They soon made a discovery. Near the several coffins of human sacrifice on the left side of the main tomb, there were all the corpses of various small animals, such as mice, rabbits, etc. The bones were piled up into a mountain, which was creepy to look at. A hole was vaguely visible on the top of the corpses. It was just big enough for a person to pass through. Those with a slightly fat body would definitely not be able to enter. This should be the escape hatch left by the craftsmen who built the mausoleum.
"Call for help, call for help... Silly boy, Silly boy, Uncle Qin, Qin Ling..."
Everyone looked up and shouted towards the cave entrance, not caring about lowering their voices at this moment. Being trapped here means death. The area of this tomb is as big as two standard basketball courts. I hope that Hanwa, Uncle Qin and others above can find this cave entrance.
Anxiously waiting, the expected rope at the cave entrance didn't come down, and finally a bat came out of the nest of humanoid bats under the high platform. They quickly extinguished the torches in their hands and didn't dare to shout. However, the tomb was not completely dark. The coffin with yellow inscriptions actually emitted a faint and strange green light.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
The humanoid bat flapped its wings and wandered over the main tomb chamber. Only the flapping sound of its wings could be heard and its figure could be vaguely seen. This beast was looking for them. This horrifying scene made people's backs cold.
It's only a matter of time before you're discovered!
At this moment, Zheng Tong hurriedly nudged Yuemin with his elbow, signaling him to look up. A rope had fallen from the escape hatch, which had been silent the whole time. It was truly a life-saving opportunity. Everyone suppressed their excitement.
Zhong Yuemin pointed at Cao Gang and asked him to go up first. Cao Gang went over and grabbed the rope, wrapped it around his waist twice, and pulled it down twice. The people above were informed, and the rope was pulled up. Cao Gang was pulled up, got stuck slightly at the entrance of the cave, and went up smoothly. Soon the rope fell again. Ermao and Jianguo went up one after another. Xiao Ningwei took the initiative to stay last, full of courage. At this time, almost all the humanoid bats in the nest on the high platform of the main tomb came out. Some were hovering in the sky, some were gnawing on the corpses on the ground, and two were coming here. This was originally the 'feeding port' of these beasts, and they must be familiar with it.
"Xiao Ningwei, hurry up!"
"Brother Zhong, you go first."
"Stop talking nonsense! With your limited skills, what's the point of showing off? Hurry up!"
If someone else said this, he would not accept it at all, but what Brother Zhong said was the truth. He really couldn't beat him. He grabbed the rope with one hand, wrapped it around his body, and started pulling. He was still hanging in the air before he entered the cave.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind beside my ears, and a human-shaped bat flew down from the sky, grabbing Xiao Ningwei with its sharp claws and trying to drag him away.
"brute!"
Zhong Yuemin took a running start, flew into the air, swung the machete in his hand with all his strength, and slashed in the air.
A cold light passed by!
The claws are broken!
