Chapter 1369
As they hurried through the winding and complicated passage.
The heartbeat gradually calmed down.
Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan walked through the winding passage.
Although the heartbeat calmed down.
But the nervousness was still not completely dissipated.
They came to a tomb.
The walls were covered with ancient murals.
Each one depicted an intricate maze pattern.
"These mazes..."
Wang Kaixuan approached the mural.
Gently touched the lines with his fingers.
"Is it the map of this ghost place?"
Huo Jilin remained silent.
His eyes revealed deep thought.
He squatted down.
He took out a small notebook and pencil from his backpack.
He began to outline the outline of one of the mazes on the paper.
"Look here." Huo Jilin pointed to a special mark in the center of the mural.
"I have seen this symbol in the family classics, representing 'life'."
Wang Kaixuan frowned.
"Then...should we find the route corresponding to the word 'life'?"
"There is a great possibility." Huo Jilin nodded to confirm.
He stood up.
He scanned the entire wall with a sharp gaze.
"If my guess is correct, there must be a connection between these maze patterns."
The two began to carefully study each mural.
Finally.
After careful observation.
Huo Jilin discovered several subtle points.
Some maze patterns have the same turning points.
"Triumph!"
Huo Jilin's voice was low and firm.
"Look, these turning points are connected in a line..."
Wang Kaixuan immediately came over to check.
"Oh my God! Really! Could it be..."
"Yes." Huo Jilin interrupted him.
"This is the route to the next area."
The two followed the discovered pattern.
Marked a path on the ground.
At this moment.
There seemed to be a faint sound of a mechanism inside the tomb.
"Be careful." Huo Jilin reminded.
And hold the long knife tightly in his hand to prepare for possible danger.
Wang Kaixuan nodded to show his understanding.
The two walked cautiously along the marked path.
The footsteps of Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan echoed in the empty tomb.
It seemed that every step was reminding them.
This is the depths of the thousand-year-old tomb.
As the sound of the mechanism gradually disappeared.
The two came to another more gloomy tomb.
In the dim light.
They noticed an unusually flat stone platform in the center.
There were several dried and dark red cloth strips scattered around.
The cloth strips were weathered to the point of being almost fragile.
It seemed to have been an item used in some kind of ceremony.
Huo Jilin frowned.
He walked silently towards the stone platform.
He carefully compared the cloth strips with the clues left on the mural.
It was like interpreting a wordless book.
Wang Kaixuan stood aside and observed Huo Jilin's actions.
He looked around from time to time to be alert to possible dangers.
"These cloth strips..."
Huo Jilin muttered to himself.
"It should be the key to guide us to find the mechanism."
Wang Kaixuan walked forward.
"What should we do then?"
Huo Jilin did not answer directly.
Instead, he gently explored along the edge of the stone platform with his hands.
Suddenly.
He pressed a subtle spot with his fingers.
There was a light "click".
The stone platform slowly moved away.
A black hole extending downward was revealed.
Wang Kaixuan quickly took out the rope and flashlight from his backpack.
"As usual, I'll go down and explore the way first."
"Wait." Huo Jilin pulled him.
"I'll do it this time." After saying that, he quickly and steadily tied the rope.
And checked the equipment.
Wang Kaixuan knew that Huo Jilin rarely changed his mind after making a decision.
"Okay! Be careful."
Then Huo Jilin gave his body to the black hole and the rope.
As he gradually sank into the darkness.
Only the faint light from the flashlight told Wang Kaixuan that he was still descending.
A moment later.
Huo Jilin's steady voice came from the communicator.
"It's safe, you can follow me down."
Huo Jilin's voice echoed in the communicator.
Wang Kaixuan quickly calmed down.
Followed closely.
Their footsteps were particularly clear in the narrow dark cave.
The sound of sand sliding down was endless.
The two had just found a place to rest for a while.
Suddenly a cold wind blew from behind.
It brought the dampness and coldness of the deep tomb that could not see the sun.
Huo Jilin keenly felt that something was wrong.
He turned around and looked.
He saw the black giant snake appear like a ghost where they had just stood.
"Quick!"
Huo Jilin shouted.
Grab the sand on the ground andThrow it back.
Wang Kaixuan also reacted very quickly.
He knew that this was the signal given by Huo Jilin.
The two did not waste time in panic or hesitation.
Instead, they took action immediately.
Wang Kaixuan followed Huo Jilin into the deeper dark cave.
And pushed the sand piled up behind him with force.
Formed a simple but effective barrier at the entrance.
The black giant snake found that its prey had escaped.
Angrily hit the closed coffin.
Its huge body and extremely strong power made the entire tomb seem to tremble.
The coffin made a dull and terrible collision sound.
It seemed extremely terrifying in this dead tomb.
Wang Kaixuan felt his heartbeat speed up.
"Master Huo... Can we really stop it like this?"
He tried to suppress the fear surging in his heart.
Huo Jilin's eyes were firm.
"Don't talk, let's go!"
The two continued to move forward.
Struggling forward in the narrow and tortuous passage.
The air around was thick and damp.
And from time to time, the angry sound of the giant snake's collision echoed and amplified, making it even more terrifying.
"I say, Master Huo..."
Wang Kaixuan tried to ease the tension.
"If the two of us get out alive..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Huo Jilin interrupted him.
"Focus."
Although Huo Jilin didn't reply to him.
But Wang Kaixuan still found a sense of security from his mountain-like back.
When the two finally stopped.
It was impossible to tell how long it had been.
There seemed to be a faint light projected through the cracks in the stone in front.
Huo Jilin's eyes were fixed on the faint light.
He knew that this meant that the new tomb was in front of him.
He signaled Wang Kaixuan to stay alert.
The two slowly approached the cracks.
After some effort.
They finally squeezed through the winding and narrow passage.
When the two stepped into the new tomb.
A damp and cold air rushed towards them.
It made people shudder involuntarily.
The scene inside the tomb was incredible - it was covered with thick ice all around.
"Look at this ice..."
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help whispering.
"No one has been here for at least hundreds of years."
Huo Jilin nodded in agreement.
But he was more concerned about the two well-preserved but hideous male corpses on the ground in the center of the tomb.
The corpses were lying on the ground.
The hands were folded on the chest.
It seemed to be some special posture.
"Master Huo... do you think this is a ritual?"
Wang Kaixuan asked cautiously.
