Just now, Zheng Yonghai suddenly came to life and said something. He pointed to the coffin and said that she was still alive. Doesn't the "she" in this coffin refer to the queen of Jingjue Kingdom? Is the Monster Queen resurrected again?
I couldn't help but look up, and I didn't know when the coffin lid of the Kunlun Sacred Tree had opened a crack. My heart was in my throat. Monkey and Miss Guo were also at a loss. The three of them had cold sweat on their palms.
There is no way to avoid disaster. Now that Queen Jingjue's coffin has been opened, it is clear that she is coming for us. The monkey raised his gun and aimed at the queen's coffin. I held the engineer shovel and the black donkey's hoof tightly to see what was inside. Something comes out.
At this moment, my mind was spinning seven or eight times. Is the Queen a ghost or a zongzi? If it is a ghost, I will deal with it how I want. If it is a rice dumpling, I will deal with it how I want. The stone beam is narrow and cannot be used. How can I retreat? I have thought about these situations.
But except for the lid moving a crack, there was no movement in the coffin. It is not an option to continue to waste it like this. Now we have two options. One is to retreat from the stone beam first regardless of any movement in the Queen's coffin. Make calculations.
The second is to advance before retreating, just go up and open the coffin board, and no matter what monster is inside, use the engineer shovel, black donkey's hooves, and assault rifle to greet her.
I immediately made a judgment in my mind. The first way seemed safe, but it was not feasible. There must be some kind of evil force lurking on this stone beam. The strange deaths of Zheng Yonghai and Chu Jian were the best proof.
And this devilish mysterious force is waiting for an opportunity to move. It wants to find a suitable opportunity to kill those of us who disturb the Queen's rest.
If we were to return immediately and were suddenly attacked while walking on this narrow stone beam, there would be no way to escape. At this time, we would have to bite the bullet and hope that the stone beam on this bottomless pit would not become ours. Dead end.
I looked at Monkey and Miss Guo. The three of them had the same idea and nodded to each other. They all understood the current situation. Although nothing had happened for the time being, it had already become a last-ditch situation. The only way to find out was to open the coffin and find out first. Only the enemy can find a way to deal with it.
Monkey handed the assault rifle to Miss Guo and asked her to be ready to shoot at any time. Then he spit into the palm of his hand twice and signaled for me to push the coffin lid open with him.
Since the coffin was wrapped with several iron chains as thick as a human arm, the lid could not be moved laterally. It could only be pushed from the front. The gap where the coffin itself was exposed was also at the front.
I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, and counted one, two, three with the monkey, and pushed the coffin board hard. This coffin made from the trunk of the Kunlun Sacred Tree has no traces of too much artificial processing and has largely retained its original appearance. The skin was still as good as new. If it hadn't removed a small crack on its own, it would have been hard to tell where the coffin lid was.
The coffin lid was not heavy, and with only seven points of force, a large piece of it was pushed open by the two of us. We both wore gas masks, so we couldn't smell the smell inside the coffin. We only saw a female corpse wearing jade clothes, lying on her back. In the coffin, other than that, the coffin was empty and there were no burial objects.
The female corpse should be Queen Jingjue. She wore a black mask on her face, so her face could not be seen. Her body was not exposed, so it was unclear how well the bones were preserved.
Is this the cruel queen who is said to be a monster? I cursed in my heart: "Damn it, she has to pretend to be a ghost and hide her face even after she dies."
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
The monkey asked me: "Old Hu, do you think that the death of Chu Jian and the others was caused by the queen in the coffin? Damn it, take off her mask and see if she is the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions, or... monster."
I said, "Okay, I was just about to take a look. Come and unmask her. I'm going to stuff the black donkey's hoof into her mouth. She will really be a monster. Let's teach her to eat her first." The black donkey's hoof that exorcises evil spirits." After saying this, he took the black donkey's hoof in his hand and prepared to stuff it into the female corpse's mouth.
The monkey rolled up his sleeves, stretched out a hand, and ripped off the mask from Queen Jingjue's corpse.
Queen Jingjue's face was revealed, with black hair like clouds, beautiful eyebrows on her temples, a delicate face, her eyes closed, and her face was frighteningly white. Other than that, she looked like a living person.
Before this, I had imagined countless times what this queen looked like, whether she was fat or thin? Or blonde? Or a high nose and deep eyes? But if I think about it a million times, I would never have imagined that the Queen looks like this...
Monkey and I said "ah" at the same time. No one expected that this queen looked exactly like Miss Guo. She was cut out of the same mold.
I didn¡¯t know what to do, my head was in a mess, I turned around to see Miss Guo¡¯s reaction, who was standing behind me. Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw Miss Guo who was standing behind us with a gun and covering us. There was no trace of Miss Guo. none.
Could it be that the corpse in this coffin is not the queen, but Miss Guo herself? I felt goosebumps rising on my body, and waves of despair stimulated the cortex of my brain. Sad, scared, nervous, helpless, confused, and many complex emotions rushed into my brain at the same time. Blank, our opponent is too elusive. We are like meat on the chopping board. Whether it is boiled or stewed, stir-fried or fried, it is all up to us. We are completely manipulated in the palm of our hands. We don¡¯t even know our opponent. What is it.
Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly felt a gloomy wind blowing around me, as if a gloomy object was approaching quickly. I thought to myself, "Well done." I raised my engineer shovel and struck back with my hand. It felt like I had hit a person, and when I looked closely, I saw half of the monkey's head chopped off. Blood spurted out, and it fell to the ground with a thud. It looked like it was dead.
I stayed there, what on earth did I do? Why are you so reckless? Am I really frightened by the monster queen? I actually hacked my best brother to death. I was heartbroken for a moment. But this time it was better. Five of the nine people in the archaeological team died one after another in less than a day. Even the monkey who was with me through life and death was killed several times. Ten years of friendship, my head was chopped off with a shovel.
I'm the only one left, what's the point of living? Maybe I should have given up my life when I was on the Kunlun Mountains and the Yunnan front line, lest I accidentally kill my most important companion. Even if I die, How can I see the monkey under the nine springs?
I gave up all thoughts, my head hurt as if it was about to split open, and I felt like I was falling into an ice cave from head to toe. I had no choice but to die. I pulled out the dagger from my waist, pointed it at my heart, gritted my teeth and stabbed it.
The moment the tip of the knife touched the flesh, I suddenly heard two gunshots. A rifle bullet hit the blade of the dagger, knocking the dagger in my hand to the ground.
The surroundings suddenly became foggy, and I couldn't see anything clearly. Who fired the gun? I was in a trance. The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. All logic was reversed. I vaguely heard someone shouting: "Lao Hu, come back quickly. Run back."
The sound was like a bolt of lightning appearing in the dark night. Although I didn't understand what was going on, I instinctively felt that I had fallen into a trap. Could it be that I was possessed by a witchcraft?
Thinking of this, I bit the tip of my tongue with my teeth, and my whole body was shocked. I found that I was in the middle of the stone beam, not standing in front of the Queen's coffin. The coffin at the end of the stone beam was intact, and the corpse-scented konjac on the coffin was blooming. , the petals that were originally rolled together opened, revealing the stamen in the middle, facing me like a radar.
On the other end of the stone beam, there were two people standing, Monkey and Miss Guo. They were so anxious that they jumped up high and shouted to me desperately, are they not dead?
The monkey held the gun and shouted: "Old Hu, you are so fucking crazy, come back quickly."
I had no time to think about it, so I walked away, ran back, ripped off the gas mask on my head, and spat out the blood in my mouth. Only then did my mind return to normal.
I asked the monkeys what happened to me just now? The monkey said: "Fuck, you almost frightened me to death. Didn't you want to go over and rescue Zheng Yonghai? You just walked to the middle of the stone beam and suddenly turned around. I don't know what happened to you. It was like sleepwalking. , swung the engineer shovel and smashed it, and then gesticulated for a long time. No matter how we called you, you couldn't hear it. Then you took the dagger and wanted to commit suicide. I wanted to go over and stop you, but I didn't rush, so I had to drive. I shot the dagger out of your hand twice. Are you crazy? Or have you been possessed by a ghost?"
I looked back at the long and narrow stone beam, and after trying to figure out the cause and effect, I realized what was going on. Everything I had just experienced was an illusion created by the demonic corpse-scented konjac. Damn it, it wanted to Lead me to suicide.
