Chapter 398: The Secret of the Shang Dynasty

When our faces met, my whole body tensed up and my breathing became rapid.

But in the blink of an eye, I calmed down, slightly bent my body, glared at the other party fiercely, and the knife in my hand silently pressed against the cloth strips that bound Xiaozhi and me, ready to cut the cloth strips at any time and push Xiaozhi to the bronze rope.

I couldn't run away, someone had to stay.

This person could only be me.

Xiaozhi may have sensed my abnormality, raised his little head and looked at me, and saw that I was staring at the right side with a fierce look, so he subconsciously turned his head back.

The head that stuck out of the cave mouth shrank back silently.

Xiao Zhi didn't see the thing, so she asked me in confusion: "Brother Jingzhe, what's wrong with you?"

I was in doubt, and I could only force a smile on my face. After a short moment, I made a decision in my heart, and whispered: "Xiao Zhi, I'm going to cut the rope that binds us. You can only climb over this iron rope by yourself to find Lao Bai and the others. Don't be afraid, and don't look down. I know you can do it, right?"

Xiao Zhi was stunned and asked stupidly: "What about you?"

"I'll come later."

I smiled and rubbed her head: "Be obedient."

Xiao Zhi didn't say anything. This child is too smart. Although he didn't see the thing that just peeped at us, he has guessed something.

Just as I was about to speak, a muffled "bang" sound came from behind me. I could clearly feel the stone wall against which my back was leaning trembled, and there was a "crackling" sound of shattering. The broken stones rolled down. I immediately bent over to protect Xiao Zhi's head, but was hit on the shoulder by a brick-sized rock.

That thing was about to smash the tomb wall from the inside! !

I immediately knew what was going on, and lowered my head to cut the cloth strip. At this time, I had no other choice but to turn back and fight with that thing. I didn't want to drag Xiao Zhi with me, and I didn't even think about escaping to the other side. The chasm was more than 30 feet wide, so how could I have enough time? Lao Bai and the others were still hanging on the cableway. If I went up there, it would mean that I was giving up everyone's lives. That thing would only need to break the chain, and the consequences would be disastrous...

As a result, before I could cut the cloth strip, there was another loud "bang". The tomb wall, which seemed to me to be extremely solid, was smashed in two hits. With a "bang", I felt a strong force coming from behind me, and I flew out in the rubble that was flying everywhere. Maybe it was not my fate, but I did not fall directly into the chasm, but flew towards the cableway and hung on it for a while. Taking this opportunity, I directly grabbed a bronze chain and hung on it. Xiao Zhi was hanging under me by a strip of cloth...

The bronze chain was shaking with a "clattering" sound. I looked forward amidst the flying rocks. I saw a giant holding a golden gourd hammer standing not far away. His hair was disheveled, his muscles were like rocks, and there was something like a tattoo on his chest, like a tiger descending from the mountain, but the pattern was flashing with seductive blood. He was only wearing a battle skirt, showing a kind of barbarity and devilishness! !

This is... the statue at the entrance of the cave! ! !

That's right, it's him! !

But how could a stone statue become a demon god with flesh and blood in the blink of an eye? !

He stood there, casting a shadow that almost covered me, and grinned again, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Then... the golden gourd hammer was raised high, and it smashed down hard on the bronze chain at the edge of the chasm.

With a "clang", a ball of sparks burst out, and the bronze chain was instantly broken.

I held the chain tightly, but the only thing left in my eyes was the demon shadow...

What kind of existence is he...?

Is he a human?

This is impossible! !

This tomb is most likely from the Xia Dynasty. How can a person live for three or four thousand years?

Is it a corpse?

It doesn't look like it! !

It seems to have wisdom, which is completely different from the big zongzi I have seen. I didn't feel the corpse gas...

The tall demon shadow was getting farther and farther away from me, but I heard the exclamations and screams of Lao Bai and others. I held the bronze chain tightly and swung down with the chain...

Crash! !

The broken chain swung fiercely towards the earth wall under the chasm, like a long whip, whipping with a crisp "snap" sound, and the earth and rocks rolled down and flew everywhere...

How can the eggs be intact when the nest is overturned?

Hanging on this chain, my situation can be imagined. I was thrown hard against the earth wall of the chasm. Even if I didn't hit the stone, I could still feel that my body was about to be smashed into a meat paste. In addition, the giant was hit by a force that was far away from the mountain when he smashed the tomb wall. Blood instantly flowed out of my mouth, nose and eyes, but I didn't dare to let go. I still held the chain tightly.

The chain bounced off the earth wall and was thrown down again...

Snap, snap...

After collisions again and again, when the inertia of the chain completely disappeared, I was numb. I was holding on to the chain with my willpower, but I was hanging in the air. The evil miasma was ethereal in front of me. I looked down and saw that Xiao Zhi was still hanging under me. Then I gritted my teeth and asked, but I felt the bloody smell in my mouth, and I coughed from time to time, and a little blood splashed out.

"I'm fine..."

Xiao Zhi cried in her voice: "I didn't hit you, Brother Jingzhe, what happened to you..."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you all still alive?"

Lao Bai's hoarse voice came from above, muttering and cursing: "This is good, I can't even see where the end is when I look up, at least a dozen feet away, I can't climb anymore..."

The intermittent response made me breathe a sigh of relief, which was probably a blessing in disguise - at least everyone was alive.

The cloth strip around her waist was shaking. Xiao Zhi didn't know what she was doing. After a moment, her voice came: "Brother Jingzhe, this earth wall is not flat, there are stones protruding, we should be able to climb down, I seem to be able to see the bottom vaguely."

The two of us should be hanging at the bottom. If Xiao Zhi vaguely saw the bottom of the chasm, it means... the depth of this chasm is about 100 meters. Such a project is amazing...

Since it is far away from the top, let's go down, at least we can have a moment of respite!

I shouted at Lao Bai and the others, and reached out to grope towards the earth wall of the chasm. Sure enough, there were protruding pebbles on it. I used my hands and feet, and only let go of the chain in my arms after I stepped on it a little bit.

"Be careful."

I reminded Xiao Zhi and began to climb down little by little in the dark.

It was not far from the bottom of the ditch, only a dozen meters at most. The moment my feet touched the ground, I could no longer bear the severe pain all over my body. I sat on the ground with my buttocks, coughing up blood constantly. It was extremely painful when I breathed, as if I was swallowing a blade.

Xiao Zhi was frightened by my appearance and held my hand tightly...

After catching my breath a little, I patted her hand and whispered a few words of comfort.

I know my own affairs. I was hanging at the bottom. When the cableway was thrown down, the force I endured was the greatest. I am afraid that my internal organs were injured, but it was not fatal. I have learned some medical skills of Qingwei Dao, so I can still judge this. I am afraid that I will have to rest for a month or two on this trip back, if... we still have the chance to go back alive.

The rope chain above my head was swinging "clattering" non-stop. Lao Bai and the others landed safely one after another, each of them was covered in dust and extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, the flashlights on their bodies were not lost, illuminating the place.

The bottom of the ditch was wide and empty, with some green mosses and some unrecognizable fungi, but judging by the color, they were probably not good stuff...

They were a little worried about my condition, Wushuang took out the medical kit and bandaged the many wounds on my body.

After a life-and-death ordeal, no one had time to chat, and they were all silently recovering their strength. I don't know what unknown dangers are waiting for us.

I don't know what Cang Yao went to do, and it took a long time for him to find us.

"I want to find out what it is."

Cang Yao sat down beside me, frowning, and whispered: "Unfortunately, after breaking the chain, it turned around and went into the tomb. When I arrived, I only saw its back, but I didn't dare to chase into the tomb. You were the closest at that time. Did you see clearly what it was?"

As soon as these words came out, even Brother Yaozi and Lao Bai became excited and looked at me.

"Don't look at me, I'm also full of questions."

I responded, and then I roughly described the situation of my encounter with that thing.

After that, I stared at Cang Yao silently.

Cang Yao hung his head, and after a long time he said: "Yes, it should be them, the shadow of the Shang Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, for more than 600 years, always sitting on the throne in fear, afraid that they would come back. Every royal heir has heard their stories in childhood, and they are also in their nightmares..."

This is the secret! !

China has countless dynasties and countless royal families. When they ruled the world, there will always be some things in the vast world that will not float in the history books, but only wander among the royal family at the top of the carnivore chain at that time, and then, with their fall, they will be submerged in the dust of history.

Everyone has a gossipy heart, how can they not be interested in such secrets?

I suddenly became alert and asked, "Who are they?"

"An invincible army. If they had always been there, there would be no change of dynasties in China."

Cang Yao said expressionlessly, "This army is similar to the guards. There is no specific name, but... the Yin people habitually call them - Tiger Biao Lishi."
