It would be fine to say that this is a group of mechanically controlled "mechanisms", but it is obviously not the case. They have no control mechanisms on their bodies and are completely free to attack.

As soon as I landed, I didn't hesitate for a moment. I immediately leaned over to avoid a spear thrust from the side, and ran forward almost lying on my stomach.

However, after going around half a circle, I still couldn't find the exit. At this time, my feet were so tired that my feet were weak, and my speed had obviously slowed down. When I looked back at the human figurines chasing me, I couldn't even breathe, these dead creatures were.

It didn't even slow down a bit.

"No wonder today's capitalists don't like to hire workers. Replacing people with machines is the way to development." I looked at these human figurines that didn't take a breath and shouted tired, but just pursued forward, not to mention how difficult it was.

"Damn it, how can I outrun them?!"

Fortunately, this group of human figurines has no intelligence at all and does not understand the principles of separation and interception. After this short circle, the situation has changed: originally they came down from the palace to chase me, but now I am fleeing to the palace.

They are all behind me.

"Let's go!" When I reached the side of the lowest platform, I didn't go around to the front and climbed up the steps. Instead, I put my hands on the edge of the platform. With a little effort, I jumped up.

When I rushed to the main entrance of the palace in two or three steps, the group of armored figurines had just walked around to the bottom of the palace, still three steps away from me.

Under the steps, a group of dark figures were rushing up the steps, as if they were filming a grand costume blockbuster. However, while I was here, I was really not in a good mood to appreciate the scene in front of me that was comparable to a blockbuster.

I didn't have time to take a breath, and I was about to push open the palace door, but the door suddenly opened from the inside, and two figures quickly jumped out from the gap in the door, almost colliding with me.

I stepped aside in time and quickly reached out to pull these two people to prevent them from running directly into the group of human figurines below.

Those who rushed out from the palace gate were not Xu Yaxian and Caiyun.

"Huh? Lin Kun, why are you here...uh, what are they?" Xu Yaxian gasped, looked up and saw me, and asked in surprise. But she stopped mid-sentence,

She had already seen the human figurines swarming up.

"There is no time to explain. Let's go quickly. We will be dead when they come up." I responded hastily, took their hands and started to walk into the palace.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yaxian grabbed my hand and stopped my intention. She said in horror: "We can't go in. Behind us is the thousand-year-old corpse chasing us."

"What?" I lost my temper immediately. On one side were nearly a hundred armored figurines, and on the other side the owner of the tomb came personally. "We are being attacked from both sides, can we get any more luck?"

Within a few words, the human figurines at the bottom of the steps had already rushed up to the last step. They raised their weapons and were about to charge towards us standing outside the palace gate.

"It's too late!" I had given up on escaping and was preparing to face the enemy.

At this critical moment, Caiyun's unique ancient sayings suddenly sounded in my ears. I turned around and saw her opening a wooden box, throwing all the gray powder inside towards the oncoming human figurines, and then waving her hands from time to time.

, quickly throw out the poisonous insects on his body.

As the last syllable in her mouth fell to the ground, the bodies of the thirty or forty armored figurines rushing at the front suddenly stiffened, and the steps were immediately blocked. The human figurines following behind couldn't close their legs in time, and they all hit the front.

On the human figurines.

Although the steps were not small, they could not accommodate nearly a hundred human figurines. In the chaos, nearly half of the human figurines on the steps fell to the bottom of the platform.

"Great! This move is instant!" I slapped my thigh and couldn't help but praise Caiyun's unique skill of controlling corpse Gu.

.

"Caiyun, work harder and control the remaining human figurines." I said quickly.

"I can only control so much." Caiyun shook his head helplessly, pointed to the small cloth bag on his body and said, "I have used all the corpse-controlling Gu I brought from the Taoist temple, and now there is no way to replenish the Gu.

"

"Then let these human figurines block the steps and block the rest." I could only settle for the next best thing.

Caiyun nodded and stopped talking, concentrating on controlling the figurines.

"Xu Yaxian, what's going on behind you? How did you encounter a thousand-year-old corpse?" I turned to ask Xu Yaxian. The only way out is behind the palace gate, but this thousand-year-old corpse is a huge obstacle.

"After we ran out of the cave, we ran around in order to get rid of the four corpse-turned-yin women. For some reason, the thousand-year-old corpse appeared and then kept chasing us." Xu Yaxian.

As he spoke, he looked back at the palace gate, obviously still frightened by the experience on the way.

"I understand. There were originally two vertical coffins in the Bagua Shuangyin Formation. One of the female corpses was attached to Ren Yonghai. She drove me into the water all the way. In this way, the one chasing you is the other female corpse."

I analyzed.

"Fortunately, Miss Caiyun is here. We were almost caught up by it several times, but we relied on her to temporarily resist it with her Gu worms. Otherwise, we would have died long ago."

"What can we do? People are blocking us both front and back." I couldn't help but frown and glanced at the situation on the steps.

The controlled human figurines were able to withstand the impact of the remaining human figurines for the time being by taking advantage of the favorable location. However, large beads of sweat began to roll down Caiyun's face. Obviously, it was definitely not easy to control thirty or forty human figurines at the same time.

things.

At this moment, I felt my arms were empty, and something fell out from the hem of my clothes and fell to the ground with a thud.

I looked down and saw that the copper box had fallen to the ground. The lid had been opened during the fall, and two things fell out.

"What is this?" Xu Yaxian squatted down and picked up the things that fell out of the copper box.

One of them is a piece of parchment, which seems to have been treated with special anti-corrosion and moisture-proof techniques. Although it has gone through thousands of years, it has not decayed at all.

Another thing is a bit weird. It is about half the size of Xu Yaxian's palm. It is made of metal and is round in shape. It is similar to my pocket compass in my hand. It is just that the surface is densely engraved with inscriptions of small mosquitoes and flies.

There is no rotating magnetic needle on it. In addition to the inscriptions, there are also strange zigzag patterns, but the light is dim and it is difficult to see clearly what is engraved.

"Where did this come from?" Xu Yaxian handed me the parchment. She held the metal disk and brought it under her eyes, carefully observing the inscriptions on it.

"There are white bones on the steps below. This copper box was found from its arms. There are also blood letters on the ground beside it. However, I haven't done much research on Chu characters during the Warring States period. Most of the characters can't be recognized.

."

While answering Xu Yaxian's question, I opened the parchment and saw some simple graphics drawn on it, "It looks like... a map?"

It’s not surprising to recognize it as a map, because there is a black line drawn from one side of the parchment, and it ends abruptly after reaching a square-like pattern. Apparently, this is because the intruder from the previous life died in the palace.

On the platform at the door.

This intruder does not look like an ordinary tomb robber. This simple map itself explains a lot. Someone came out of this underground tomb alive and drew the terrain into a map. Finally, the intruder held the

I'm afraid I didn't come here just to see the strange things in the tomb.

"Who is he and what is his purpose here?

What is it?" Thinking of the mysterious group of tomb robbers I met before, countless mysteries filled my mind.

I raised my head and looked at the silent palace in front of me. What kind of secrets were hidden in this tomb full of murderous intent?

"Brother Lin Kun, I can't hold on anymore." Caiyun's slightly urgent voice suddenly sounded, interrupting my thoughts.

I looked up and saw that Caiyun's little face was covered with sweat, and a few strands of wet hair were stuck to her cheeks. She was almost exerting all her strength to feed.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the hall.

There was a "bang" sound, and before we could react, the palace door suddenly opened automatically without wind and slammed inward. Then, accompanied by an extremely fishy and thick corpse odor, a black shadow suddenly flew out of the palace and headed towards

Caiyun, who was struggling to control the human figurines, rushed over.

This Cheng Yaojin who came out of nowhere is none other than a thousand-year-old corpse.

I reacted quickly and kicked off the ground. I rushed forward for a few steps like a cannonball. Then I fell sideways and slid across the ground, catching up with the thousand-year-old corpse.

I was half a body behind it, and my hands could no longer reach it to hold it. In a hurry, I straightened my waist, kicked my feet hard at the waist of the ancient corpse, and lifted it half up.

How tall is it?

The sharp fingertips of the ancient corpse brushed past Caiyun's back of the head, only picking up a few hairs.

"Caiyun, come back quickly, don't worry about those human figurines." I yelled loudly.

Hearing my roar, Caiyun moved his hands forward, and controlled the thirty or forty human figurines to rush down the steps, immediately throwing all the human figurines in front of him to the ground.

The entire steps were in a mess, and no human figurines could rush up for the time being. As for the thousand-year-old corpse, I sent it off the platform, and I didn't see its figure for a while.

After doing all this, Caiyun turned around and ran back, pulling me up from the ground. As for Xu Yaxian, she had already taken the opportunity to get into the palace and closed the two doors, leaving only a crack for me and

Caiyun goes in.

"Close the door quickly!" I followed Caiyun and rushed into the palace door.

Looking up, there was nothing in the palace, except for a screen wall standing in the middle. On the left and right sides of the screen wall, there was a passage diagonally downward and deep into the ground. Behind the screen wall, there seemed to be an entrance leading directly to the mountain.

With a "bang" sound, Xu Yaxian closed the door of the palace with all her strength, and quickly inserted the door bolt.

"What should we do next?" She paused, pointed to the passage on the right side of the screen wall, and continued, "That's the way we came here, we can't go there."

I nodded, quickly unfolded the parchment and took a look, then quickly stuffed it into my pocket, pointed to the passage on the left, and said, "Let's go out this way."

In just a short while, the human figurines outside the palace lost Caiyun's control and were no longer in chaos. Nearly a hundred armored human figurines had already swarmed outside the palace door and began to violently hit the palace door.

Under the huge impact, the already rotten door bolt was obviously deformed within a few seconds, and it was only a matter of time before it was broken.

There was no time to hesitate, the three of us looked at each other and ran into the passage on the left.

Just when I was about to run into the passage, I turned around and saw that the door bolt had been broken, the palace door was wide open, and the armored figurines were pouring in. In the middle of the figurines, the thousand-year-old corpse was clearly visible.

.

"Roar!"

Seeing me looking at it, the tomb owner from 2,000 years ago seemed extremely angry. He threw away the human figurines in front of it and roared at me.
Chapter completed!
