RNP Chapter 1370
Chapter 1370
Huo Jilin was silent for a moment before answering.
"Maybe, these bodies are so well preserved in such an environment, there must be a special reason."
Just as the two were discussing the next action plan.
Suddenly, they felt a slight tremor under their feet.
Huo Jilin reacted very quickly and grabbed Wang Kaixuan.
"Attention! There is a mechanism!"
Sure enough.
In the next moment.
A slight and coherent mechanical turning sound was heard in the tomb.
Huo Jilin's intuition told him.
The activation of this mechanism was no accident.
He looked around.
Noticed that there seemed to be an object reflecting light under a layer of ice.
He motioned Wang Kaixuan to follow.
The two approached the area cautiously.
"It might be some treasure." Wang Kaixuan's eyes flashed with excitement.
Huo Jilin did not respond.
He just concentrated on tapping the ice surface with the shovel in his hand.
After some careful work.
A metal box came into the eyes of the two.
The box was covered with exquisite carvings.
It was covered with mysterious symbols.
Huo Jilin frowned and thought about what these symbols might mean.
At the same time, he looked around vigilantly.
Just in case.
After confirming safety.
He slowly opened the box.
There was a yellowed ancient book and a blurry map inside.
Huo Jilin carefully stroked the cover of the ancient book.
Feeling the traces of time left on the paper.
"This... Is this the legendary long-lost "Reincarnation Secret Record"?"
Wang Kaixuan came over and asked curiously.
Huo Jilin did not answer immediately.
He was concentrating on interpreting the densely packed texts on the ancient book.
These texts tell about the understanding and practice methods of a certain ancient monk on the method of transcending the cycle of life and death.
Although the content is obscure and difficult to understand.
But Huo Jilin can feel that it contains extremely profound knowledge.
As for the map.
It shows an unknown area.
And marked with illegible symbols and lines.
"It seems we have to go to this place." Huo Jilin whispered to himself.
Wang Kaixuan swallowed nervously.
"Mr. Huo, are you sure you want to go? That place doesn't look peaceful."
"I must go." Huo Jilin's eyes were firm.
"This book contains clues to that area."
The two examined the interior of the tomb again.
After ensuring that no potentially important clues were missed, they began to return to the original path.
Although the mechanism has been activated once.
But no one can guarantee that there will not be a second trap waiting for them.
As the footsteps of Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan echoed in the ancient tomb.
The two carefully walked along the tortuous passage.
Their breath formed a cloud of white mist in the cold air.
Every step seemed extremely cautious.
"It's so cold here." Wang Kaixuan wrapped his clothes tightly.
He shivered involuntarily.
Huo Jilin was speechless.
Just silently looking around.
They entered a new tomb.
This place is more gloomy and cold than any room they have passed before.
The walls are covered with thick ice.
A faint blue light is reflected.
And in the center of the tomb.
Two more male corpses appeared.
Lying on the ground.
"Oh my God..."
Wang Kaixuan took a breath.
"What's going on?"
Huo Jilin did not answer immediately.
He slowly approached the two corpses.
Even in the face of such a tragic situation.
He did not show too much emotional fluctuations.
He lowered his head to observe the characteristics of the corpse.
The face was distorted, the body was naked, and the skin was an unnatural blue-gray color.
"Brother Shenlong..."
Huo Jilin muttered to himself.
Wang Kaixuan was stunned when he heard the name.
"You mean... Brother Shenlong who disappeared more than ten years ago?"
Huo Jilin nodded.
"Yes, it seems that they finally fell into an illusion."
"Illusion?"
Wang Kaixuan was puzzled.
"Yes." Huo Jilin explained.
"Extreme cold will make people feel warm after taking off their clothes, and eventually die naked."
Wang Kaixuan shuddered when he heard it.
"Then wouldn't we also..."
"Don't worry." Huo Jilin interrupted him.
"We have enough equipment to deal with this environment."
This was enough to make Wang Kaixuan feel a little relieved.
After all, following someone as experienced and skilled as Mr. Huo.
It always brings him peace of mind.
Just then.
Wang Kaixuan noticed some black powder and fragments scattered in the corner.
"Mr. Huo, look!"
He bent down and picked up a larger fragment and handed it to Huo Jilin.
Take the fragment.
Huo JilinLin's eyes changed slightly.
"This is gunpowder... and it is a very old type."
"Gunpowder?"
Wang Kaixuan asked in surprise.
"Did someone try to use this thing to blow up the passage before?"
"It is very likely." Huo Jilin thought about it.
"But more importantly - why didn't it explode?"
"Or why are there so many unused explosives left?"
Huo Jilin didn't dwell on this question too much.
After all, just go down.
They will know sooner or later.
It's just a matter of time.
Then.
Huo Jilin took out the fire starter.
And made a simple courtesy to the bodies of the Shenlong brothers.
"May you rest in peace." He said softly.
And lit the paper in his hand as a symbolic farewell ceremony.
Just finished the ceremony.
Just about to leave.
Wang Kaixuan suddenly found a huge ice block in the corner of the tomb reflecting a strange light.
"Over there!"
He pointed in that direction.
Huo Jilin then approached to check.
When he approached, he found that there was a bottomless hole inside the ice.
"Passage?"
He whispered softly and reached out to touch the transparent and cold surface.
Wang Kaixuan tried to lean over and peek into the depths of the hole.
"It's hidden so well! What do you think is inside?"
"Anything is possible." Huo Jilin retracted his palm.
"But in any case, we need to be fully prepared before going down."
Huo Jilin's voice had just fallen.
The two began to check the equipment.
Make sure that every tool is in the best condition.
Wang Kaixuan took out several ropes of different lengths and several small LED flashlights from his backpack.
"These should be enough." Wang Kaixuan said.
Try to fix the flashlight on the shoulder strap.
Huo Jilin nodded.
Then he took a step forward and walked towards the mysterious passage covered by the ice.
He took a deep breath.
Then he stepped carefully into the cave.
The cold air was accompanied by a fishy smell.
The tomb passage was filled with gloom and silence.
Under the dim light.
Broken bones were scattered on the dry soil.
Wang Kaixuan followed closely.
But when he noticed the blood-stained remains of the bodies that seemed to have been bitten by wild beasts.
He couldn't help but gasp.
"Master Huo... what's going on?"
Wang Kaixuan's voice trembled slightly.
Huo Jilin frowned and looked around.
"It seems... something happened here."
