Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran and his group continued to explore, and there began to be a fork in the road.

Lin Ran's idea was simple, just to avoid the route of the Qinglong Club.

People in the Blue Dragon Society will encounter a curse, which means there is a problem with their lines.

Others, however, sounded like they were written from heaven.

After all, it was their first time to come to Qianling, and the previous tombs they had cleared were ordinary ancient tombs.

Wang Jinpeng asked: "Brother Lin, didn't you say before that Qianling Mausoleum has never been stolen? Why is there a robbery hole here?"

The emergence of robbery holes often means that the tomb has been stolen, but there are no rumors about Qianling in the market.

"There are robber caves, but Qianling Mausoleum should never have been stolen." Lin Ran explained.

The geographical location of Qianling Mausoleum is very special. It is built with a mountain behind it.

The archaeological team did not excavate, mainly because the archaeological team needed to consider preserving the integrity of the ancient tomb.

Because it is located on Liangshan Mountain, the terrain is difficult and large equipment cannot be transported up.

Excavation work is more difficult to carry out.

The tomb robbers have no such concerns.

Explosives and the like can be used whenever you want.

The Qianling Mausoleum has existed for many years. Although the specific entrance has not been excavated, the people who took advantage of it must have been targeting it for a long time.

The people of the Qinglong Society were probably lucky enough to dig directly into the tunnel.

It is indeed not easy for the Qinglong Society to dig the thieves' hole here.

However, they still missed one of the most important parts, that is, Qianling Tomb is not an ordinary ancient tomb, and it requires constant back and forth to find the way.

Moving along the road, they entered another cave entrance.

With the light of the flashlight, everything in the cave was as clear as before.

Lin Ran frowned.

"Did you smell a strange smell?" Lin Ran sniffed.

"Yes." Wang Jinpeng said, "It smells like a putrid corpse."

Lin Ran nodded. He also suspected that there was a corpse of a tomb robber in the tomb passage.

After Lin Ran said this, others became alert.

"There is indeed a putrid smell, which comes from corpses that have recently died." Guan Yun said.

The tomb was filled with a strange smell.

Originally, it was normal for ancient tombs to have the smell of decay, especially tombs like Qianling Mausoleum that had existed for unknown lengths of time.

After taking a few steps forward, I suddenly stepped on something under my feet.

crunch.

Lin Ran kept reminding others to pay attention to their steps, but he didn't expect that he would be in trouble.

He didn't move, but picked up the flashlight and shone it at his feet.

What I saw was the skeleton of a mouse.

Lin Ran just breathed a sigh of relief.

At least it's not a trap.

Lin Ran saw that the mouse's body had completely decomposed, leaving only an empty skeleton.

What made him even more horrified was that there were rat corpses all along the tomb passage.

"Why are there so many dead rats?"

"No wonder it stinks so much."

Wang Jinpeng and the others couldn't help but cover their noses, and finally discovered the source of the stench.

But Lin Ran didn't feel relieved, but became even more confused.

The number of rat corpses in front of us cannot be described as too many, they are completely piled up like a mountain.

Wang Jinpeng felt like his hair stood on end.

"Are there any monsters here that eat rats?"

Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone felt as if a stone was hanging in their hearts.

Because they had no idea why there were so many rat corpses in the ancient tomb.

There aren't usually many rats in ancient tombs, as rats will eat the coffins until they dig out the bones inside.

Rat-proof measures were taken into consideration during the construction of most ancient tombs.

And if there are so many rats in the tomb, it would be a bit fanciful to prevent others from discovering the existence of the tomb.

The tomb robbers were all professional surveyors, and it was impossible for them not to notice the abnormality of the rat.

What’s even more puzzling is what exactly exists in the ancient tomb that causes the piles of rat corpses to accumulate here.

They stopped temporarily because of the appearance of rat corpses.

Everyone could only look at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran frowned, but his expression calmed down.

"There should be some kind of creature in the tomb passage that specifically preys on rats." Lin Ran said.

"But it doesn't look like it's that big."

"Although there are many rat corpses, it can be seen that the death time of the rats is not consistent. Some rat skeletons have turned black, but some are still milky white. They were obviously eaten not long ago."

"But, you still have to be careful." Lin Ran looked at the dark tunnel.

It was as if there was a pair of terrifying eyes staring at them.

There is only one possibility when a large number of bones appear.

It's the monster's lair, it should be nearby.

Guan Yun silently loaded his pistol and walked in front of the team.

No one proposed to go back the way they came. They knew that now that they had come this far, they could not look back.

No need to remind, everyone is alert.

Lin Ran was very satisfied with the reaction of his companions. They were now well-trained native masters.

No one from the Qinglong Society should have been here before.

Because if you don't pay attention to these skeletons, you won't notice them at all.

These skeletons basically maintained their integrity, which strengthened Lin Ran's view.

Maintaining formation, everyone began to move forward.

After learning that there were rat bones on the ground, they became even more cautious.

Although there was no danger of stepping on a rat skeleton, they were careful to avoid it.

Without him, it’s just because I have to distinguish the sounds around me.

The further in, the rancid smell gets stronger.

And the number of rat carcasses is also growing in piles.

Later, it even got to the point where it was unavoidable.

Lin Ran had a strong feeling that the monster that killed the mouse was just ahead.

And there is a vague feeling that it may eat more than just mice.

As carnivorous creatures, as long as they are not too small than humans, they will definitely treat humans as delicacies.

But he didn't quite understand why there were so many rats in the tomb.

Whatever it is, it won’t be long before you can see it with your own eyes.

Lin Ran actually wanted to know the answer.

The world's great wonders.

There are many things that you can only know the answer to by seeing them with your own eyes.

Lin Ran no longer thought about it and walked towards the depths of the tunnel.

However, it was different from what he imagined at the end of the tunnel, where a huge monster was eating the mouse carcass while watching them.

After rounding a bend, what appeared in front of them was not the end of the tunnel.

Rather, it is an open land.

They actually walked out of the narrow tunnel, and what appeared in front of them was a huge underground grotto.

It looks like it was formed naturally, with no traces of artificial repair.

Lin Ran stepped into the grotto and shined a flashlight around.

Under the light of a flashlight, you can see that the area of ​​the grotto is dozens of square meters, and its width alone is about twelve meters.

Directly ahead is a relatively flat rocky ground.

At the end of the road, looming...

The underground palace!
