Chapter 105 - The hideous stone sculpture of a human face! (Please subscribe to the full chapter!)
Everyone was now completely convinced.
They were truly trapped in the "vicious loop" mechanism of the Ghost Tomb.
Partridge Whistle anxiously asked Li Xiaohu and Jin Suanpan, "Brothers."
Do you have a way to solve this mechanism?
Jin Suanpan pinched his chin, quickly racking his brains for a solution.
However, there are several types of ghost tombs.
Before he could determine exactly what kind of ghost tomb it was, he didn't know how to solve the problem.
Partridge Whistle looked at Red Girl again.
Born under the Moon Gate, isn't she the most skilled at deciphering and expanding mechanisms?
Hong Guniang is good at deciphering mechanical expansion, but only if she has prior knowledge of it!
She'd never even heard of this so-called Ghost Tomb, how was she supposed to solve it?
He could only shake his head helplessly.
"Don't rush," Li Xiaohu gestured to everyone to calm down.
He looked down at Erhu and asked, "Have you found it yet?"
Erhu meowed once, then turned around and began to lead the way.
Li Xiaohu gestured for everyone to follow.
They followed Erhu to a tomb wall.
Erhu dug at the base of the tomb wall.
One of the stone bricks was loosened quite a bit by it.
Li Xiaohu stepped forward and picked up the stone brick, and a pungent smell of blood immediately wafted out.
Below appears to be a dark room.
But it was too dark inside, and the entrance was too small.
Even if you shine a torch inside, you still can't see how deep it is or how big the space is.
Yin Xinyue covered her nose, forcing back her nausea, and asked, "What's down there?"
Li Xiaohu said, "It should be an altar."
"An altar?" Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
Li Xiaohu nodded in affirmation and continued, "The ghost tombs here are set up extremely cleverly."
"It uses a kind of 'sacrifice' mechanism."
"Once the presence of a living being is introduced into the tomb, the altar will recognize it as an offering and trigger all the mechanisms, activating the Ghost Tomb."
"The sacrifice will not stop until the offering is complete or the tomb is devoid of life."
As he spoke, he continued to look into the bottomless dark room.
"The smell of blood down here is so strong, this must be the altar."
The opening is too small.
No one could squeeze inside.
However, Li Xiaohu didn't dare risk letting the cat crawl inside.
What if it really is bottomless?
Even civets can fall and get injured, making it even harder for them to climb back up.
So he turned around and called Little Wukong up.
He then borrowed the Sky-Piercing Rope from Partridge Whistle and tied the rope to its body.
Then he cut his hand with a knife and dripped a little bit into a small bottle.
"Little Tiger, what are you doing?" Red Girl was startled.
Why would someone self-harm for no reason?
Li Xiaohu replied calmly, "A sacrifice."
"To shut down the mechanism, there must be a sacrifice."
Of course, he couldn't actually become a sacrifice; he just wanted to use his own blood to "trick" the mechanism.
After all, organizations are inanimate, but people are adaptable.
Organizations can never outmaneuver people!
Subsequently.
Li Xiaohu picked up the small bottle and gestured to Xiao Wukong:
"After you go down, find the place with the most blood energy, and then throw this bottle in."
He then made a throwing gesture.
Little Wukong took the blood bottle and nodded obediently.
Its spiritual talent is no less than that of the white-haired old ape.
Although there was no spiritual connection between her and Li Xiaohu through "Yunwu Tongzai", she could still understand Li Xiaohu's meaning.
Then he turned and went into the dark room.
Li Xiaohu slowly lowered the rope from above.
It sat there for a while.
“Chirp! Chirp!”
Only then could one hear Little Goku's faint cry.
Judging from the volume of the sound, it must be at least 20 to 30 meters deep!
Waited for a while.
Suddenly, the silent tomb chamber was filled with the clicking sound of machinery.
The old foreigner, holding a torch, followed the sound.
They discovered that a stone door had appeared out of nowhere on one of the curtain walls!
He shouted excitedly, "There's an exit!"
Li Xiaohu quickly pulled Xiao Wukong out of the dark room, and then led everyone through the stone door.
Behind the stone gate.
It was another natural cave, and quite spacious.
However, there was no entrance to the next cave or tomb door.
Partridge Whistle and the others were momentarily disoriented and didn't know where to go.
Li Xiaohu also had difficulty remembering such a small detail as which way to go, so he asked Jin Suanpan to use his expertise.
Jin Suanpan nodded knowingly.
After taking out a compass and calibrating its position using the tomb chamber behind him, he began to calculate the possible directions of the tomb chamber.
During the waiting period.
The group, holding torches, searched around for any other clues.
"who is it?!"
Out of the corner of his eye, Partridge Whistle suddenly caught a glimpse of a face staring at them!
He let out a sharp, sudden shout!
Then he pulled out his Mauser pistol from his waist and fired two shots, "Bang! Bang!"
Everyone turned to look.
They discovered that Partridge Whistle had shot down a dark object from the top of the cave.
Take a closer look.
It was a black spider the size of a cat!
Yin Xinyue was a little afraid of the insects and hid behind Li Xiaohu.
"How could it be a spider?" Partridge Whistle said, puzzled. "I clearly saw a human face just now!"
Li Xiaohu stepped forward and used his foot to flip the spider's abdomen over, saying, "You saw it right."
"This spider is called the human-faced black spider."
