Chapter 734 9 Dragon Carrying the Corpse Coffin

The bottom of this underground rift valley is five to six hundred meters wide, and the gravel on the ground is like a hill.

In the middle of the rift valley, there is a huge rock mountain that has been polished into a platform, like a small pyramid. A long stone step is built on one side of the stone, and there is a small lamp on both sides of each step. slave.

The things placed on the stone platform once again attracted everyone's attention.

It was a huge white stone coffin. Nine stone-carved hundred-legged dragons were coiled under the coffin, forming the image of a lotus. There were also four black stone figures standing around, facing all directions, kneeling in worship.

In front of the coffin is a large cauldron for holding sacrifices, and behind it is a screen wall.

Compared with the huge bronze door, this coffin seems much smaller, but if you get close enough, you can still feel that this coffin is actually very big.

"This is the Jiulong Corpse Carrying Coffin!" Li Duoduo's face was full of shock.

This kind of burial method is absolutely unheard of and unseen. I only saw some in my grandfather's notes.

"The Nine Dragons carrying the corpse coffin are just nine giant centipedes, aren't they?" Fatty Wang said disdainfully, but he was actually quite shocked in his heart.

Ye Cheng said in a deep voice: "Look carefully, those nine hundred-legged dragons are not stone sculptures, but alive!"

"What, alive, how is that possible?"

Everyone's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

Their location was around the top of the bronze door, still fifty meters away from below, and it was pitch black below, making it impossible to see clearly.

But you can feel it.

The bodies of the nine hundred-legged dragons were even larger, each one thirty or forty meters long.

Their shells are pitch black, almost the same color as volcanic rocks, so they look like stone sculptures.

But after taking a closer look, I really found that one of the hundred-legged dragons seemed to move.

hiss……

There were gasps of air, and everyone felt their scalps go numb.

The huge centipede dragon was almost as big as them in terms of its claws. Once such a big centipede dragon wakes up, it would be terrifying to think about it.

Ye Cheng watched carefully, "The position of their tails seems to be locked by chains. They should not be able to leave that position!"

"Oh, how did that old boy, the Net Slave King, do it? He was able to lock these nine giant centipedes in there?" Fatty Wang couldn't believe it.

Li Duoduo said: "Do you still remember some of the information we got before? It said that King Wannu was a monster from the underground. I didn't believe it at the time, but now I believe it. Only monsters can protect these nine giant centipedes. here!"

"If these centipedes are all alive, then they must have lived for at least a thousand years. Do centipedes have such a long lifespan?" Captain Zhang said!

"Normally, the life cycle of centipedes is three to five years, but the centipedes here are obviously different from those in the outside world. They have surpassed common sense!" Ye Cheng thought of the previous underwater world.

The animals and plants in that world were extremely huge, and their life span seemed to be much longer.

Near Changbai Mountain, there seems to be a mysterious force that maintains these things' extremely long lives.

"Could this be related to the Bronze Gate?" Ye Cheng thought in his mind.

The Bronze Gate is a place guarded by the Queen Mother of the West. It contains the secret of immortality. For countless years, all major forces have tried to find the Bronze Gate and find the secret of immortality.

Ye Cheng felt before that immortality was just a false proposition.

But as he gained more knowledge, he no longer thought so.

Because the living example is right in front of you.

Ji Cheng, who has lived for thousands of years, and Qin Shihuang, who does not know whether he is dead or not, these people have exceeded the limit of life span.

There are also these centipedes that have lived for thousands of years, and they are all related to the bronze door.

Perhaps there really is something behind the bronze door that can extend their lifespan.

In fact, the real Queen Mother of the West may not have perished, but is hiding behind the bronze door to exclusively enjoy the power that can bring immortality.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Fatty Wang say: "The coffin down here must be the coffin of Wannu Wang Lao'er. Although it is guarded by the nine big insects, since their tails are trapped, their range of movement must be limited. Moreover, these things have all fallen into hibernation, so as long as we keep quiet, we should be fine!"

"I think we should hang a rope from above, and then open the coffin from above to see what this Wannu Wang old man looks like!"

When it came time to open the coffin, Fatty Wang's brain suddenly seemed to be enough.

No one said anything, but they all undoubtedly agreed with Fatty Wang's point of view.

In this case, it is undoubtedly the best choice to quietly hang a rope from above to check the situation.

Otherwise, if you approach those big centipedes rashly, you may wake them up and you will be in trouble.

"Well, let's do it!"

Ye Cheng also nodded. They took out the pulleys and other tools, fixed them on the chain closest to the bottom, and prepared for action.

But at this moment, Fatty Wang felt someone push him on his back. He lost his balance and fell down.

"Oh shit, what bastard pushed me!"

His body fell down from the chains, but fortunately he was tied with safety ropes, otherwise he would have fallen freely.

If you really fall from such a high distance, even if you don't fall to death, it will be no problem at all to become crippled.

"Be careful!" Ye Cheng quickly warned, and the others immediately became vigilant.

Fatty Wang was hung by a rope. He swung around in the air for a few times before he stabilized his body, pulled the rope and climbed up.

It was pitch black all around, and the light of the flashlight could only illuminate the front of them. Instead, it made the distance in the distance appear even darker, limiting their sight range.

But everyone could hear the sound of wings flapping around, as if something was hovering, and there must be a lot of them!

"It's those human-faced birds. This should be their habitat. Now they have returned from foraging for food. Please be careful."

It can be inferred from the droppings on the ground that there must be a large number of birds gathering here.

Moreover, those corpses hung on chains were probably the prey of these human-faced birds. They were dried there and became the granary of these human-faced birds.

Some of the corpses they dropped would also become food for the giant centipedes below.

This can be considered a simple biological chain.

It has to be said that this old guy Wang Zanghai is very familiar with the idea of ​​symbiosis. His concepts are at least hundreds of years more advanced than those of the people at that time.

As soon as Ye Cheng finished speaking, dense crowds of human-faced birds swooped down from the sky and attacked them.

At this moment, everyone couldn't care less and could only shoot.

For a moment, there was a loud sound of gunfire, and there was a huge echo here, as if the whole world suddenly changed from dead silence to lively.
