Chapter 595 The Fallen Stone Coffin
Chapter 595 The Fallen Stone Coffin
"Boom boom boom——"
Upon hearing the sound, the faces of the archaeological team members turned deathly pale. They all looked up at the ridges on both sides, trying to see where the fierce rockfall was coming from.
"Comrade Yang Lele...you should probably say less in the future! Your words are so prophetic, they always come true!" Hawkeye's face was bitter.
Yang Lele was also somewhat at a loss.
Surely she couldn't have summoned this giant rock by asking for it?
Amidst surprise and uncertainty.
Yang Lele muttered under her breath, "This definitely wasn't something I brought on! How can you blame me for jinxing it?"
at this time.
Suddenly, Gu Wuyan pointed to the ridge on the left and shouted, "Ah Qin! What rolled down from this ridge wasn't a rock! It was...it was a coffin!"
Hear this.
The archaeological team members all turned to look at the ridge on their left.
A huge stone coffin was seen sliding down the ridge, its bottom scraping against the rocks on the ridge with a loud clanging and booming sound as it came down.
Although this isn't a rolling stone, being hit by a stone coffin would surely result in being crippled even if you didn't die.
Blessings never come alone, and misfortunes never come alone.
Just as the archaeological team members were panicking and trying to get out of the way of the stone coffin, Zhang Sitian's trembling voice rang out, "Three stone coffins are sliding down the right...right ridge!"
Hear the words.
The archaeological team members hurriedly turned around to look at the ridge on their right.
Just as Zhang Sitian had said, three enormous stone coffins were sliding down the ridge with great force. Moreover, as the stone coffins slid down the ridge, they also caused many rocks to fall off.
It was like a mudslide without water!
"Run!"
Gu Yang shouted.
The archaeological team members also wanted to run, but after realizing what was happening, they didn't know whether to run forward or backward.
"Run forward! If these rocks block this ravine, we won't be able to move forward even if we want to." After saying that, Qin An took the lead and ran forward.
Everyone saw this.
I quickly put all my strength into keeping up!
"Damn it... are we tomb raiding or running a marathon? Why are we running the whole time?" Wang Ping complained as he ran.
however.
His complaints were completely drowned out by the roar of the cascading stone coffin, and no one heard him at all.
"Boom boom boom——"
The group ran more than a hundred meters away before the sound of the stone coffin hitting the bottom of the valley came from behind them.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan stopped when they heard that the stone coffin had settled and could not possibly have hit them. They put their hands on their knees and breathed heavily.
It has clearly reached its limit.
The archaeological team ahead wasn't in much better shape.
They all stopped to rest.
After a while.
After regaining some strength, the group decided to go back and check on the stone coffins. The gravitational potential energy of them sliding down from such a high ridge was terrifying!
It must have been smashed to pieces upon impact.
If there were rice dumplings inside, they would probably be smashed to pieces, missing limbs, right?
"Let's go back and take a look."
Qin An was the first to turn around and walk back.
Wang Ping was a little unhappy. "Huh? We have to walk back to see? What's so interesting about a few stone coffins? What if another zombie jumps out of them? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"
however.
The rest of the archaeological team ignored him completely and simply followed Qin An back silently. In the end, even Zhang Yunfeng followed.
Only Shao Wei and Wang Ping remained.
"Whoohoo-"
A chilling wind swept through the depths of the valley, causing Wang Ping and Shao Wei to shrink their necks. After much deliberation, they decided to follow the archaeological team back to investigate. Otherwise, if a zombie suddenly appeared in front of them, one of them would be doomed.
"Oh? Young Master Wang! Didn't you say you weren't coming?"
Hawkeye saw Shao Wei and Wang Ping running up quickly and couldn't help but tease them.
Wang Ping forced a smile and said, "I just came along out of curiosity. If anything happens, I might be able to lend you a hand!"
It's that same high-sounding rhetoric again.
Hawkeye was about to retort when Gu Yang gestured for him to stop. There was no point in arguing with this kind of person. If there really were rice dumplings, they should just feed them to Wang Ping.
After being trained by the previous large mausoleums.
Gu Yang and Eagle Eye have long since become Qin An's sworn brothers—no, they're Qin An's men. Naturally, they won't tolerate people like Gu Yang who repeatedly offend Qin An as they did in the Qi King's Tomb.
These two special forces soldiers can tell the difference between protecting civilians and protecting idiots.
In the midst of an argument.
The archaeological team returned to where they had been standing.
The ground was littered with rubble, large and small stones almost blocking the road. There were four stone coffins in total, three of which had been overturned, and the corpses inside, filled with armor and animal skin clothing, rolled out and lay haphazardly on the ground.
Just as everyone expected.
The bodies slammed heavily against the rock face, some with broken arms and legs, some even with their heads smashed off, resembling a car accident scene.
Qin An frowned as he looked at the scene before him.
A question popped into his mind: "Why did these sarcophagi slide down the ridge?"
If this was a trap set up by the people who built Chi You's tomb.
So why did it happen just as the archaeological team entered the ravine?
No one on the archaeological team triggered the mechanism!
Could it be that the tomb keeper of Chi You's tomb activated the mechanism?
Qin An looked solemnly at the mountain peaks on both sides, trying to find the tomb guardian hiding inside.
at this time.
Xie Wenjing's voice rang out: "Brother Qin An... there is another coffin here that is intact and has not been knocked open."
Hear this.
Qin An withdrew his gaze and walked up to Xie Wenjing.
In front of her, the stone coffin that had slid down from the left ridge was not overturned by the powerful impact; instead, it was as if it had been placed there before.
They were neatly stacked near the edge of the valley.
“The rest of the stone coffins have been overturned, but this one is intact? Could there be something evil inside?” Wang Ping asked tremblingly.
Hear this.
Qin An turned around and glanced at Wang Ping subtly.
He then quickly looked away.
A brilliant plan came to Qin An's mind. As everyone knows, Qin the Great Philanthropist never holds a grudge overnight; he settles it on the spot.
It would be fine if there was nothing in this stone coffin.
But if there is a corpse in this stone coffin, Qin An will make it rise from the dead no matter what, and then let it eat Wang Ping!
After making up your mind.
Qin An said coldly, "Then let's open the coffins and take a look. It's not like these stone coffins slid down the ridge without reason. There might be clues to the tomb of the Chi You tomb owner inside."
