Chapter 29 Tomb and Blood
"Hmm?" Some loose, dry and porous rocks do absorb liquids, but this cave is granite!
Granite has a dense structure, high compressive strength and low water absorption rate. It is absolutely impossible for liquid to penetrate at such an exaggerated speed!
"Ding ding!" Levi tapped the stone wall with his fingers, but the sound was dull and did not sound like an empty wall.
But in just a short time, the large pool of blood left by the ogre on the stone wall disappeared completely, without a drop left, as if the stone wall was a living creature that greedily sucked blood!
Levi's brain was running at high speed. Thanks to his concentration and greatly improved mental power, Levi quickly constructed a three-dimensional map in his mind, and then Levi was surprised to find that the place behind the stone wall was just below the stone tomb on the ground!
Levi put the ogre, whose injury had obviously stabilized a lot, aside, and then pulled out a steel pipe from the collapsed scaffolding, and then stabbed it towards the stone wall!
"Swish!" With Levi's 6 points of physical fitness, the steel pipe in his hand suddenly made a sharp whistle and suddenly plunged into the stone wall!
The granite, which is harder than ordinary steel, was pierced through in an instant like tofu, and the three-meter-long steel pipe was almost completely immersed!
"Hmm?" Feeling the change in force during the insertion of the steel pipe, Levi's heart moved. The last thirty or forty centimeters were easily immersed, indicating that the stone wall was only more than two meters thick, and there was indeed another space behind the stone wall!
"Swish!" Levi pulled out the steel pipe filled with rocks, and saw that the rust on the steel pipe completely disappeared, and because of the high-speed friction, the steel pipe actually became slightly red, and a wisp of green smoke came out.
"Dang!" Levi threw away the steel pipe in his hand, bent down and looked at the small hole that was pierced. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen clearly, but there was a humid water vapor coming out, mixed with a strange and pungent fishy smell.
The strangest thing is that from the space behind the stone wall, there is a very regular "click-click" sound.
Levi took out two military fluorescent sticks that were more than 20 centimeters long and as thick as thumbs from the pocket on his waist. After gently crushing the glass tubes in the fluorescent sticks, the fluorescent sticks immediately emitted extremely bright light, and then threw them into the small hole on the stone wall!
From the introduction of the bloodthirsty dragon bat's dragon blood, Levi could roughly guess that what the people in the original textile factory wanted to find was very likely related to the legendary dragon!
Although the leather book described a trace of dragon blood, Levi had to be more cautious about the existence related to this mythical creature.
Through the high-brightness fluorescent stick lighting, Levi immediately saw what was behind the stone wall.
It turned out that behind this stone wall was a small tomb that looked only dozens of square meters. It was empty inside. In the middle of the tomb was a stone platform about half a meter high, and a withered skeleton could be vaguely seen lying on the stone platform.
But from Levi's perspective, the thing that made the "click" sound could not be seen, perhaps it was blocked by the stone platform.
Levi carefully sensed that he did not sense any danger from the tomb, so he kept picking up the steel pipe beside him and stabbing it towards the stone wall, and soon the stone wall in front of him was riddled with holes.
"Boom!" Seeing this, Levi punched the stone wall in front of him, and the severely damaged stone wall collapsed, revealing a passage large enough for him to enter and exit.
After the dust cleared, Levi took out two fluorescent sticks and threw them in again. Although this kind of fluorescent stick can provide a high-brightness light source, it lasts for a very short time, usually only five minutes.
Walking into the stone tomb, Levi looked around and found that this stone chamber did not seem to be dug out by manpower, but existed naturally. There was no passage leading to the outside world in front, behind, left and right, but in the southern corner of the stone chamber, a one-meter-wide underground river was quietly flowing.
And this underground river is the only way in and out of the stone chamber!
A withered skeleton was placed on a stone platform half a meter high, and there was a shallow pool of blood around the stone platform. The blood inside had turned into a black viscous liquid, emitting a pungent bloody smell, like oil!
But strangely, this blood, which had existed for an unknown period of time, did not coagulate and dry up. It was very likely the blood containing dragon blood, and it was also the magical blood that gave birth to monsters such as bloodthirsty dragon bats!
And as he approached this pool of blood, Levi noticed that the blood in his body became active and tumbling, as if it was about to leave the body and be sucked into this pool of blood!
This suction force on the blood was quite strong. It was possible that when ordinary people approached, the blood in their bodies would be forcibly sucked out. The blood left by the ogre on the stone wall just now was also sucked away for this reason!
But with Levi's current physique, this suction force would not cause any interference to him.
And this blood clearly flowed out of the withered skeleton on the stone platform, which means that this skeleton was once a powerful humanoid with dragon blood in its body!
"But why does the human body contain dragon blood? Are they descendants of dragons? Or is it through some special method that dragon blood is transplanted into the human body?"
Levi looked at the bones on the stone platform that had existed for at least a hundred years, and countless thoughts surged in his mind. Would blood transplantation exist more than a hundred years ago, or could it be an extraordinary method?
"Swish!" At this moment, a gust of wind poured in through the hole that Levi opened. The bones on the stone platform might have been rapidly oxidized and collapsed into a pool of powder!
"Hmm? What is this?" As Levi walked into the stone tomb, he finally saw that the thing that was blocked by the stone platform and kept making a "clicking" sound was actually a mini loom!
Some information in Levi's mind was immediately pieced together. The Weaving Church, the church messenger who fled from England to America with the magical treasures in the church, and the church messenger with magical powers!
It turned out that the legends told by Richard were all true!
The dry bones on the stone platform should be the church messenger whose body was collected by Richard's grandfather!
The stone tomb in the textile factory was a fake tomb to deceive people. The body of the messenger and the church treasures were hidden by Richard's grandfather in a granite cave dozens of meters underground!
If you don't know the intricate water system of the underground river, it is almost impossible to come here, so the people in the textile factory at the time could only choose the inefficient method of digging holes to find the real cemetery!
"So besides Richard's grandfather, there are other people who know what happened back then." Levi looked at the mini loom in front of him, and thinking of the huge project under the textile factory, he guessed that the forces that were looking for the cemetery back then were definitely not weak.
But for some reason, the other party gave up the search. If the other party continued to dig and search on this stone wall, it would not take long for them to find the tomb behind the stone wall!
This loom is only the size of a child's desk, and each part is made of a brown wood, which looks small and exquisite.
But the shape of this loom is also very strange, with eight wooden legs, two upright shuttles and winding machines on the left and right, and it seems to have become a monster with a human head and a spider body in the shadow!
And the most surprising thing is that this old loom is not connected to external power, but the shuttle and winding machine are constantly moving on their own, sending white silk into the spinning machine, weaving a piece of white cloth, and the white on the shuttle machine does not decrease, and the woven cloth does not increase at all!
"Buzz!" Just as Levi approached the loom to observe, the mask of the Faceless Man suddenly flashed golden lines, and the flashing frequency became faster and faster, and the head almost turned into a golden light bulb!
