Chapter 371 Opening the Tomb Door
Old Man Tang's hand slapped heavily on the end of the rune made of red rope.
The dead leaves vibrated, and the small pits forming the Rigellian pattern suddenly lit up with starlight.
The starlight spread along the red rope and lit up the entire huge rune.
The bright light illuminated Old Tang's face. He looked excited and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
"It's done! It's done!"
Taking two deep breaths, he restrained his excitement, straightened his face and called me coldly: "You, stand in the middle!"
"What middle?" I said blankly.
In fact, I saw that there was a gap in the middle of the red rope-woven runes, just big enough for a person to stand.
However, I knew this old man had no good intentions, so I pretended to be dumbfounded.
"That's right there." Old Man Tang pointed.
"I don't dare. This looks too weird. Mr. Tang, what on earth do you do?" I waved my hand timidly.
"I'll give you more money, ten times more!" Old Man Tang frowned impatiently.
The man with glasses turned his head and looked at me expressionlessly, with a deep chill exuding from his body.
"This" Before I could say anything, a sharp cat meow suddenly came from not far away.
"Meow-"
The howl was so pitiful that it startled a crowd of birds.
"Why is there a cat again?" Old Man Tang looked in that direction warily, his brows knitted into a big knot.
I was also surprised because the cry was not from Wangcai. Wangcai was still hiding in the bushes nearby without making any sound.
"Meow-"
There was another cat meow, the trees shook rapidly, and rapid and fierce footsteps sounded, as if a wild beast was running towards this direction.
"I knew it wouldn't go so well!" Old Man Tang snorted coldly and looked closely in that direction.
The trees shook violently, getting closer and closer, and with a bang, a black shadow jumped out of it.
"It's him!"
My eyes widened.
Fu Hao.
At this time, he looked ferocious, lying on all fours like an animal, making a cat howl from his mouth, and his eyes turned into cat pupils.
With his five fingers turned into claws, Fu Hao wrinkled his face and stared at Old Man Tang eagerly.
"Don't let him get close to the red line!" Old Man Tang shouted nervously, and at the same time, he flicked his old hand towards Fu Hao.
A yellow talisman flew over.
Fu Hao jumped away as nimbly as a cat, dodging Huang Fu easily.
"Why are you still standing there, beat him away quickly, he is no longer a normal person!" Old Man Tang yelled at me.
"I don't dare, he's too scary."
I was timid and held the shovel in my arms and stepped aside.
I wish that both of them would suffer, so how could I go up and help?
"idiot!"
Tang Laotuo cursed angrily, but Fu Hao had already rushed towards him. He didn't care about arguing with me and quickly accepted the challenge.
Despite his weak arms and legs, he is quite flexible.
Standing aside, I glanced at the man with glasses carefully.
Old Man Tang was fighting with Fu Hao, but he remained expressionless and showed no intention of helping.
Moreover, Old Man Tang didn't ask him for help.
This is a bit strange.
Who is the man with glasses? His status seems to be higher than that of Old Man Tang.
At this time, with Fu Hao restraining Old Man Tang, it was the best time for me to take action.
But this idea only passed through me for a moment, and I dismissed it as soon as it came up.
Because the tomb door has not yet been opened, and the situation in the ancient tomb is unknown. Taking action now would be equivalent to exposing the identity in advance.
It is very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted.
His eyes returned to Old Man Tang and Fu Hao.
Fu Hao turned into a cat, his fingertips became extremely sharp, and he rushed towards the red rope crazily, trying to destroy Old Man Tang's formation.
But Old Man Tang was not a vegetarian either. The yellow talisman flew up in his hand, giving him no chance at all.
After a few rounds, Fu Hao was already at a disadvantage.
The animalistic light in the cat's eyes flashed, and angry howls came from his throat. Fu Hao became anxious, took on a desperate posture, and finally found an opportunity.
The sharp nails scratched Old Tang's arm. Old Tang's movements were slightly delayed. He took this opportunity to pounce on the red rope.
My heart tightened and I could no longer stand by and watch.
Even if the formation is destroyed, I can't enter the tomb.
Old Man Tang's expression changed drastically. Regardless of his injuries, he reached out and grabbed Fu Hao.
Hissed.
The clothes were torn directly. Although Fu Hao was not caught, it at least made his movements slower.
As for me, I had already picked up a yellow talisman from the ground and swatted it towards Fu Hao.
"Ouch——"
Before Fu Hao's feet even touched the ground, Huang Fu stuck to his body, and he raised his head and let out a painful howl.
Then, he fell to the ground slumped.
What a coincidence, it just happened to fall into the gap between the red rope runes.
Old Man Tang and I both widened our eyes.
After a few seconds, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
Like an earthquake, fallen leaves rolled, branches swayed, and there was a rumble beneath the ground.
Click——
A gap opened from Fu Hao's feet.
The crack was getting bigger and bigger, like a giant mouth slowly opening, swallowing the unconscious Fu Hao in one gulp.
Fu Hao fell into the crack and no sound was heard.
The red rope breaks and the starlight dissipates.
The earth no longer shook, and there was deathly silence in the mountains and forests.
"The tomb door is open?" Old Man Tang's throat moved, and his eyes shone with surprise. He ran to the edge of the crack and looked down.
The dark opening was bottomless, and a faint cold air was blowing out.
I was shocked and scared.
If the person standing in the middle of the runes was me, I would probably end up like Fu Hao.
The method of opening the tomb door is so complicated. Fortunately, I didn't have the urge to reveal my identity.
"It's open! It's open!"
Old Man Tang walked back and forth excitedly twice, then calmed himself down and directed me to take out tools such as ropes from Fu Hao's backpack.
The rope was tied to the big tree on one side, and on me, him, and the man with glasses on the other.
After finishing preparations, Old Man Tang took out a fluorescent stick, shook it a few times, and threw it into the dark gap.
The fluorescent light fell into the darkness, gradually getting smaller and smaller, until it was no longer visible, but there was still no sound of landing.
"It can't be this high."
Old Man Tang was puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he waved to me.
"come here!"
"What's the matter?" I frowned, walked over and looked at him warily.
"Since you've seen it all, I might as well tell you what we are doing." Old Man Tang's eyes were strange.
My heart was raised. What was his purpose in telling me this at this time?
"We are looking for an ancient tomb. There are many valuable things in it. If you cooperate with us well, the benefits you will get will make you rich and prosperous for a lifetime."
"Ancient tomb?" I said cautiously, "How can I cooperate with you?"
"It's very simple." Old Man Tang smiled coldly and stretched his old hand towards my shoulder.
"What do you want to do?" I immediately took two steps back.
Old Man Tang smiled and said nothing.
The next second, I suddenly felt a pair of cold hands on my back.
Oops, I forgot there was another person!
That's too late.
I didn't even have a chance to turn around before I was pushed violently into the darkness by those hands.
