Chapter 146
Dark array!
This is a formation that is arranged in an extremely clever way with the help of natural terrain structure. There is no complicated Feng Shui Bagua, strange arts, it is purely with the help of special terrain. The naked eye can't see any mystery at all. Once trapped in it, there will be no way back. This is called "dark array"!
As the saying goes, the simplest way is often the simpler, the harder it is to crack.
Chen Yibai and Yan Xuefei acted separately and searched carefully in this cave for a long time, almost digging three feet into the ground, but in the end, no traces of the robbery hole were found.
It seemed that these three colleagues really escaped from the ground.
Or the robbery hole is not here at all!
"Captain Chen, could it be that you guessed wrong, and they came in from somewhere else?"
After searching for a long time without success, Yan Xuefei began to get more and more anxious.
Because this is a dead end, if the police chase them, they will be blocked here.
But Chen Yibai still firmly believed in his judgment. He frowned again, looked at the three corpses in the pile of rocks, and said with half-closed eyes: "If they came from somewhere else, why didn't they die somewhere else, but died here?"
Chen Yibai paused in the middle and continued: "Looking at the three colleagues, there are no obvious external injuries on their bodies, nor too obvious signs of struggle. Nine out of ten are trapped here alive. They should have dug a tunnel here, and when they wanted to go up, they couldn't find the tunnel!"
The tunnel couldn't be found?
Yan Xuefei felt very mysterious after hearing Chen Yibai's words, and frowned deeply with half-belief and half-doubt.
Chen Yibai glanced at Yan Xuefei again and said calmly: "Of course, this is just my guess. If you have any other ideas, you can also go and find it yourself, you don't have to follow me..."
"I..."
Yan Xuefei stared and hesitated, muttering in her heart: "If I have any other way, do I need to follow you?"
Although Yan Xuefei understands Maoshan Taoism, she is a layman in Feng Shui ancient tombs and knows nothing about it, so even if she has doubts in her heart, she can only follow Chen Yibai.
However, Yan Xuefei thought again, as a layman, is it a bit beyond the scope to question Chen Yibai, a professional tomb raider?
Just when Yan Xuefei was thinking about this, suddenly there was a strange sound of "squeaking" above her head, and it felt like something was crawling on the stone wall above her head.
Yan Xuefei subconsciously looked up and saw a large drop of liquid dripping onto her face. It felt warm and had a fishy smell.
This made Yan Xuefei feel sick and frightened. She wanted to scream, but was afraid that the disgusting liquid would flow into her mouth, so she quickly reached out to wipe it off.
After wiping off the fishy and sticky liquid on her face, she stared again and saw two red lanterns hanging on the top of the cave. The color was as strange as blood. One on the left and one on the right, about two or three meters apart, with a double shadow around them, swaying faintly.
"Run!"
Before Yan Xuefei could see what it was, she heard Chen Yibai's shouting. Her body was like a conditioned reflex, faster than the brain's reaction speed. She didn't bother to look at it carefully and ran in the direction of Chen Yibai.
Boom boom...
As soon as Yan Xuefei ran, a pile of rocks rumbled down from above. If she had been a second slower, she would have been smashed into a pulp.
Yan Xuefei was still in shock. After she stood firm, she looked up at the top of the cave again. The two blood-like red lanterns she had just seen were a pair of eyes, growing on both sides of the body. It was pitch black and estimated to be nearly ten meters long. It had a pair of sickle-like pincers under its body. It supported its body with hundreds of legs and crawled slowly on the top of the cave!
This is a centipede! It is even bigger than the centipede in the ghost story!
"Ah..."
Yan Xuefei was so scared that she screamed hysterically after seeing the full appearance of the centipede. She had never seen such an exaggerated zongzi before.
It seems that this insect is indeed a natural enemy of women, especially snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Chen Yibai was very calm, and didn't even feel any fuss.
After all, Chen Yibai has seen the world.
This centipede is far inferior to the Zhulong he had seen before, and can only be regarded as a "small centipede" at most.
And it is not unusual for there to be some evil creatures that are almost spirits in this thousand-year-old imperial mausoleum.
Perhaps because of Yan Xuefei's scream, the centipede opened its mouth, with white liquid flowing out of its mouth, and its body suddenly stretched and shrank, and its black hairy feet stepped on the rocks in the cave, and pieces of rocks were directly stepped off, rumbling.Smash it down.
"Captain Chen, we can't stay here for long, let's retreat first!"
Yan Xuefei saw this situation and immediately shouted to Chen Yibai.
"Well, you go first..."
Chen Yibai nodded, took the red ancient sword in his hand, and stared at the centipede above the cave with sharp eyes.
Yan Xuefei frowned immediately and asked hurriedly: "What about you?"
Yan Xuefei was not concerned about Chen Yibai, but if Chen Yibai didn't leave, she didn't know where to go!
"This centipede should be a tomb guardian, the exit is here!"
The appearance of this centipede further confirmed Chen Yibai's previous speculation.
In many special tombs in ancient times, not only tomb guardians were placed, but some also raised living tomb guardians, just like tomb keepers, but one was in the tomb and the other was outside the tomb.
So this tomb guardian centipede appeared here, and there must be a mystery in this place.
As soon as Chen Yibai finished speaking, the centipede seemed to understand what he was saying. It stretched and shrank its body again, crawling along the cliff of the cave, and its centipedes stomped on the rocks, rumbling towards Chen Yibai and Yan Xuefei.
Fortunately, Chen Yibai's night vision could see the whole picture and he could dodge in advance.
But hiding like this all the time was not a solution. The centipede moved swiftly along the cliff of the cave. If it climbed up a little, it would be an unreachable height, and it could not reach it at all.
After listening to Chen Yibai's words, Yan Xuefei simply gritted her teeth and followed Chen Yibai. After the two sides pulled back and forth for a few minutes, the centipede seemed to be a little impatient. It stared at Chen Yibai with its pair of strange blood-red eyes, and its mouth opened and closed, making a "hissing" sound. Four pairs of huge and thin wings suddenly opened on both sides of its body, and it fluttered towards Chen Yibai.
"This centipede can actually fly!"
Chen Yibai's eyes widened in surprise: "Flying centipede?"
