Chapter 622: Heavy Pressure, Secret Method of Incorruption
The flames were so hot that they instantly burned through the body of the terracotta figurine, revealing a layer of light green metal inside.
"This is……"
Ye Bai's heart moved.
This is a skeleton!
However, the surface of the skeleton is coated with a layer of strong rust-proof glaze, making it look exactly the same as the terracotta figurines, even the bone structure is exactly the same.
"Could it be the Terracotta Army?"
Ye Bai was a little hesitant.
According to historical records, during the Tang and Song dynasties, there was a kind of iron tool specifically used for steelmaking, called the Terracotta Army.
This kind of pottery figurine is forged through secret means. Each piece can withstand a thousand pounds of pressure and can be stored for a long time and remain alive forever.
At first, Emperor Huizong of Song, Li Zhi, had planned to use the Terracotta Warriors as an army.
Unfortunately, he died before he could take action.
"It seems that my guess is correct."
Ye Bai thought to himself.
Since this is a mausoleum, these terracotta warriors must have been abandoned long ago.
The owner of this skeleton must have taken good care of it during his lifetime and did not want it to decay, so he applied a layer of rust-proof glaze on it to make it look like terracotta figurines.
He used his dagger to cut the metal chains that bound the skeleton.
Then, a small, ancient key was found in the skeleton's abdomen.
Take the key and turn it gently.
Squeak!
The wall of the stone chamber slowly opened.
A wisp of cold air blew in his face, causing Ye Bai to shiver all over.
"here it is......"
His pupils shrank suddenly.
This is actually a heavy door!
Behind the gate was a deep tunnel.
The tunnel was extremely dark and exuded a rotten and damp smell.
"Oh my God, it's an underground palace..." Ye Bai was stunned and extremely shocked.
This was the first time even for him to see such a shocking underground palace.
What secrets are hidden in this tomb?
"These antiques and weapons should be burial objects."
He looked at the bronze coffins scattered all over the ground.
But more than that, there are lifelike corpses!
"Where are you looking?"
The woman in black reminded him, murderous intent in her voice.
Ye Bai looked down and saw that she was staring at him with her fists clenched.
"I'm not interested. Please do as you please."
He shrugged and walked into the tunnel.
The woman in black stood there for a long time and finally chose to leave.
Although she is a ghost, she is still afraid of death.
Ye Bai had no interest in provoking her, and she was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"It doesn't seem to be dangerous."
Ye Bai stepped into the tunnel. There was no other danger along the way except corpses.
"Is there no treasure here at all?" Ye Bai frowned slightly.
If this is the case, this journey of exploration will be fruitless.
But he felt something was wrong.
He walked in the tomb for a long time but still found nothing.
"Strange..." Ye Bai muttered.
He looked up and suddenly froze.
At the end in front of him, there stood a giant pyramid-shaped building that was three meters high!
This is......
The remains of the royal palace in myths and legends?
"No, the style of this palace is so different from the European Middle Ages on Earth."
The more Ye Bai looked, the more confused he became. "The layout here is very strange, like the ruins left by some kind of civilization..."
He walked to the front of the giant pyramid.
Here, there is a huge platform surrounded by arc-shaped stairs, like an altar, with huge sculptures standing on it.
These sculptures are all made of exquisite stones with bright colors.
“What a beautiful stone sculpture.”
Ye Bai couldn't help but admire.
He had never seen such a perfect work of art; it was simply a masterpiece of God.
Ye Bai couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
Suddenly, his fingers were burned!
He pulled his hand back in pain, only to see that his fingertips were burnt and emitting scalding smoke.
There are electromagnetic waves on the stone, which will release intense high temperatures.
Ye Bai frowned.
"It seems to be some kind of formation?"
His mind was racing.
The environment here is extremely harsh. There is no oxygen and the air is thin. An ordinary person's lungs will be roasted if he stays here for one minute.
However, the body of the Terracotta Warrior remained intact.
"The owner of these sculptures must have practiced martial arts and had a strong physique."
Ye Bai pondered, "But why did they go to the trouble of building such a palace? Could it be that they were trying to protect these sculptures?"
He was in confusion.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, blowing up dust on the ground and landing on Ye Bai's face.
He suddenly came to his senses.
"There is something strange here!"
Ye Bai became alert and continued to move forward.
The tunnel is filled with various terracotta warriors, chariots, and shields, so many that they can fill the entire tunnel.
Ye Bai moved forward.
He gradually understood.
"The Terracotta Warriors are guarding this place because their owner wants to take these things away!"
But why would they do this?
The Terracotta Warriors are burial objects. According to ancient tradition, it was the most correct move for the emperor to place burial objects on the dragon vein to guard it.
But here these burial objects are buried in this kind of place.
"Is it because of some special reason?"
Ye Bai couldn't think of an answer, so he quickened his pace and ran forward.
Soon, the end of the tunnel arrived.
The scene that came into his eyes surprised him greatly.
A huge empty room appeared before him.
In the center of the house, stood a huge coffin!
The coffin took up most of the room, enough to accommodate hundreds of people lying inside at the same time. It was extremely luxurious.
"What is this?"
Ye Bai was extremely confused.
He went to the end of the room and searched carefully, but could not find any way to open the coffin.
He retreated back into the room and looked at the coffin in front of him.
This coffin is actually a wooden structure with various decorative patterns carved on the surface. It is simple and elegant, and has a sense of age.
"What pattern is engraved on the coffin?" Ye Bai looked at it for a while, then suddenly frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
He always felt that these patterns gave people a creepy feeling.
He tried to touch the coffin.
boom!
The coffin lid suddenly exploded.
A shadow as black as ink suddenly rushed out and bit towards Ye Bai.
Ye Bai had anticipated this and quickly dodged and avoided the attack.
"It's a zombie!"
His heart was pounding.
Just now, when the zombie rushed out of the coffin, he clearly saw that the zombie's mouth was open and its two teeth were as sharp as swords!
This zombie is alive!
Its skin is as black as ink, with a strange luster, its muscles are smooth and graceful, and it is filled with explosive power, as if it can tear the air apart at any time.
This is an extremely terrifying corpse!
After the zombie missed its attack, it roared to the sky.
Ye Bai took a look and was shocked.
This zombie's body is extremely huge, more than three meters tall, and is even more muscular than those giant terracotta warriors!
His chest was convex and concave, and his blood vessels bulged like twisted tree roots, full of a sense of powerful strength.
Its neck is long like a python, and its scarlet tongue makes a hissing sound when it moves in and out. It is terrifying and ferocious, which is chilling.
