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

"It's a trap!"

At the top of the tomb passage, there is still this kind of ghost thing.

Lin Ran called Wang Jinpeng back, and the group tried to stay away from the hole in the mountain wall.

The members of the archaeological team were shocked by the sight before them, the dense vines.

More disgusting than venomous snakes.

Seeing that Wang Jinpeng was about to be caught by the vines, Huang Lei, who was standing nearest, fired several shots directly at the vines.

Unexpectedly, the vine really fell for this trick. In front of the gun, it actually showed fear and retreated back.

"Thank you." Wang Jinpeng shouted.

It was like walking through the gates of hell just now, and I was almost caught by the vines.

The tragic death of the archaeological team members came to his mind.

But the matter is far from over. Huang Lei is still confronting the vine with a gun. As long as the vine has the intention of getting close, he will shoot it directly.

It's really like being alive.

"What should I do?" He glanced at the others. It looked like an altar, but there seemed to be no place to leave.

If you are trapped in a small room, sooner or later you will become fodder for these vines.

And if you want to climb down, it's too late now.

Besides, there is an undercurrent surging below, and there are probably only a lot more monsters in the river than in the Tengmen.

Lin Ran rushed directly to the altar with one quick step.

At the same time, he greeted others: "Everyone, come here!"

"What should I do about this?" Huang Lei shot another shot at the vine.

"Come here and talk!" Lin Ran shouted to him.

After covering Wang Jinpeng's departure, Huang Lei decisively chose to retreat.

At this moment, the vine seemed to sense that the prey was trying to escape, and launched a fierce attack, attacking Huang Lei's back.

Regardless of everything, Huang Lei jumped directly towards the edge of the altar.

Not even close.

Wang Jinpeng immediately walked to the edge, took Huang Lei's hand, and pulled him onto him.

The two men rolled around on the ground and landed on the altar.

The others immediately moved away from the edge of the altar, fearing that the vine would continue to extend over.

But the platform of the altar seemed to have a natural barrier. The vines did not cross the boundary even half a step and stayed above the altar.

It seemed that he was still unwilling to give up, and kept trying to test him, but he did not leave.

"What is going on?" Professor Liu was frightened and sat on the ground. He had never seen such a terrifying scene in his many years of archaeology.

Lin Ran took a look at the length of the vines. It was not that they were not long enough, but that he was afraid.

But he still asked everyone not to act rashly just in case.

After observing for a while, I found that the vines were gradually receding.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"saved."

Wang Jinpeng and Huang Lei got up from the ground, and Huang Lei said "thank you" to him.

"Without you helping me, I would have died a long time ago. It's me who should say thank you." Wang Jinpeng replied without any politeness.

Originally, he disliked Huang Lei and the others, thinking they were inexperienced.

But after being attacked by the vines, he discovered that Huang Lei was still a team player and did not abandon him and escape even in dangerous situations.

Now I feel relieved about him.

Professor Liu climbed up tremblingly: "I didn't expect to experience such an exciting scene before death."

Lin Ran made a silent gesture.

"The word death is not spoken before the grave."

This is a taboo, otherwise the tomb owner may really think that he is here to accompany him.

Lin Ran and the others came to the altar.

There is a humanoid corpse placed inside the bronze tripod, with his hands behind his back.

It should be a human sacrifice used as a sacrifice.

In addition to the bones, there were some ashes inside, which should be weathered grain.

While Professor Liu was studying the words above, Lin Ran and others had already arrived near the bronze coffin.

"Open the coffin." Lin Ran said to Wang Jinpeng and the others.

"Isn't this too hasty?" Professor Liu, who was in a hurry to open the coffin just now, originally wanted to discuss it with Lin Ran.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ran directly gave the order to open the coffin.

Lin Ran was noncommittal. There must be an antidote within seven steps of the snake. The vines did not dare to cross the thunder pond, so they must be inseparable from the contents of the coffin.

Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning are never sloppy in doing things, and they pick up the tools and tilt them up.

After opening the coffin, everyone was shocked by what was inside.

Because inside the coffin lay a male corpse wearing an iron mask that covered half of his face.

But what's even more terrifying is that there are no traces of decay on his body.

It looks like a person resting quietly in a coffin.

But the pale skin and the corpse spots on it meant that he had been dead for a long time.

"Is this the founder of the Gui family?" Huang Lei was full of interest in the corpse.

Professor Liu had already greeted him with enthusiasm, completely ignoring the others.

"The rumor is that he was an ugly man, but since he had no descendants, his name was not left." Professor Liu shook his head after researching for a long time.

The corpse is wearing an iron mask, which is consistent with the rumors, so the possibility is very high.

Just when he was about to put his hand in, Lin Ran held him back.

"Don't touch it yet."

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to turn on and off the autopsy?" Professor Liu felt a little confused.

"Have you ever wondered why he didn't rot?" Lin Ran asked.

This reminded Professor Liu, who looked inside the coffin with lingering fear.

Is there mercury?

But they couldn't smell the mercury.

Based on his previous archaeological experience, corpses that can be preserved relatively well are usually filled with mercury.

It's a preservative that's been used since ancient times, but even mercury makes corpses look like they're thousands of years old.

Lin Ran pointed at the slightly raised mouth of the corpse, which looked like it was holding something in its mouth.

"Is it the corpse-fixing bead?" Professor Liu asked.

Lin Ran nodded, but he didn't expect that he had heard of this thing.

Professor Liu became even more interested: "I have only heard of it before, but this is the first time I have seen it. It is so amazing."

A bead held in the mouth can actually prevent a corpse from decaying forever.

Lin Ran thought it was normal, but he felt that the corpse-fixing beads might not be a good thing.

Radioactive elements have always existed in ancient times, either naturally underground or decomposed from meteorites in the sky.

If you want to prevent corpses from decaying, the most important thing is to prevent scavengers from approaching.

If there is radiation, it all makes sense.

Because he had seen experiments conducted abroad. A young man who was not afraid of death drank radioactive wastewater every day. Of course, the result was that he would not die unless he committed suicide.

His entire face was rotten and he died in excruciating pain.

But his body has been kept by the medical school, because after more than 100 years, it still looks like the one who died yesterday, and people are still studying him.

That's probably what true death with eyes in peace is like.

There seems to be a large amount of some kind of radioactive material in ancient tombs.
