Chapter 166 [Mercury Cave] (1)

Arnold was shocked when he saw the beast running away. He and Zhang Changgong seized the opportunity to turn around and escape. Although the beast was scared away, they would soon understand that the explosion had not happened and would inevitably follow him again. For both of them, winning time is to win life. As long as they fight for these amounts of time, they can escape to a safe range. Then Arnold can activate the explosives that ambushed in advance to destroy the way the beast tracks.

Sure enough, the beast soon found that it was deceived by Arnold. The anger made the beast crazy in an instant. The scales on its neck also stood up one by one because of anger, burst out with roars, and rushed into the disinfection room again at an astonishing speed.

Arnold and Zhang Changgong supported each other and escaped from the disinfection room. As soon as they escaped from the disinfection room, Arnold triggered an explosion in the disinfection room. In fact, they have not yet escaped to the safe range. However, the situation is so urgent that only by triggering an explosion in advance and blocking the road behind can we prevent the pursuit of the beasts.

A shocking explosion occurred behind him. The air waves caused by the explosion wrapped around the smoke and dust and threw them forward. They were like two leaves in the autumn wind rolling and floating forward, and they were grabbed and thrown into the air by an invisible big hand. Then they fell to the ground, making them paralyzed. They even lost their feelings in a short time and lay motionless. After a long time, they felt pain and slowly returned to their bodies.

Zhang Changgong slowly climbed up and shook off all the dust. He found Arnold from the rubble around him. Although Arnold was lucky enough to survive, he broke his right leg in the explosion. Zhang Changgong carried this unlucky companion and took Arnold to continue to flee with his strong willpower.

Although Luo Lie believed that Bai Yunfei did not dare to harm him at the moment, he was not clear about what was hidden in the Mercury Cave. Lan Ximei gave him a lot of information, which marked several places that were most likely to hide the safe. The Mercury Cave was one of them. However, the specific location of the Mercury Cave was not marked in detail, but it was only marked that among the hundreds of caves around the statue of Yongzheng, he and Bai Yunfei should have been considered smooth. They accidentally found the Mercury Cave.

Bai Yunfei was not wrong. Luo Lie was indeed deliberately trying to kill time. He didn't want every step he took was under Bai Yunfei's surveillance.

The gas mask is just in case. After taking the seed of wisdom, Luo Lie's body has improved greatly. The breathing method taught by Wu Jie has also entered a new realm. He can keep his breath for a long time, so that he can avoid inhaling toxic gas from the outside world.

During the period when Bai Yunfei left for ventilation, Luo Lie quickly slid to the front of the mechanism, turning the winch that looked like a rudder counterclockwise. Although the winch had been shelved underground for a long time, it still operated well. Luo Lie did not take much effort to turn the winch. The winch had just turned half a circle, and the white cloud flew away and returned.

Luo Lie chose to rest at this time, and waited until Bai Yunfei left for breathing again before quickly turning the winch.

Bai Yun ran outside and took a few breaths, feeling both angry and funny. Luo Lie really treated him like a thief. He was about to sneak in quietly and catch Luo Lie unexpectedly, but suddenly a gunshot came from outside.

Bai Yunfei couldn't help but be shocked. Today, only four of them entered the underground palace. They were divided into two groups. Naturally, he and Luo Lie could not shoot. In other words, the only one of them was Lu Weilin and the Ding Gopher. Bai Yunfei initially thought that it might be one of them who had left the fire, but not long after, the gunshots rang again, but this time they kept ringing one after another.

Bai Yunfei hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to walk outside. Compared to what Luo Lie was doing? The unknown crisis outside touched his heart more.

Luo Lie naturally heard the gunshots coming from outside. At this time, he had twisted the winch to the end. Because his body was tightly pressed against the rock wall, he could clearly feel the rock wall under him was emitting a low vibration. Amid the rhythmic vibrations, the mercury liquid level of about ten meters in diameter below quickly began to fall, and soon twelve black avatars were revealed. Luo Lie saw them clearly. These twelve avatars corresponded to the twelve zodiac signs, which were almost exactly the same as the twelve zodiac signs in the Old Summer Palace.

Most of the beast heads in the Old Summer Palace's water viewing method were lost when the British and French forces invaded in 1860. There are still twelve zodiac signs hidden deep in the building underground of the Old Summer Palace. How can it not be amazing?

Luo Lie soon discovered the difference between these beast heads, because the twelve zodiac signs are all standing images. As the mercury surface decreases, the bodies of the twelve zodiac signs are revealed. They are all beast heads, naked upper body, and strong and muscular.

As the mercury surface descends, an erect sarcophagus rises slowly in the center surrounded by the twelve zodiac signs. The sarcophagus is a common appearance in the West. The sarcophagus is not located directly south and north, but placed east and west. There is a stone sculpture on the lid of the coffin. The stone sculpture is carved with a flat Western warrior wearing armor and placing his hands on his chest, holding a long sword tightly. The sword body is wide, the hilt is thin and narrow, and the end is engraved with a cross.

There have been too many strange scenes underground before, so this time a Western sarcophagus appeared underground in the royal garden, which did not surprise Luo Lie too much. As the sarcophagus rose, the mercury liquid level declined continuously and quickly lost it clean. The bottom was completely exposed. The bottom was made of triangular yellow plates, forming a funnel that was high on the outside and low on the inside. Luo Lie was not far from the bottom and slid downwards, carefully landing on the metal plate at the bottom. When you get closer, you see that the metal plate was actually made of pure gold.

Luo Lie sighed inwardly with the royal luxury, but soon figured out the truth. Gold and mercury will not react chemically. Perhaps the real reason for using gold is that there are twelve gold plates, each of which is engraved with words. Luo Lie took a brief look and recorded some information about the underground alchemy land of the Old Summer Palace. The caves surrounding the statue of Yongzheng are called Bailian Caves.

Lying in the stone coffin above, Merlot, a famous Western alchemist, who had participated in the refining of pills and worked with Zhang Taixu. However, this alchemist obviously did not live as long as Zhang Taixu. Emperor Yongzheng died in a elixir explosion accident when he was alive. Zhang Taixu was secretly buried here because he had a close relationship with this person.

Luo Lie patiently read the inscription on it with the light of the flashlight, and was amazed in his heart. He didn't expect that so many twists and turns would happen underground in this royal garden.

Bai Yunfei had returned to the edge of the cave. Looking out from the entrance, he saw Lu Weilin and the goblin rat who had retreated to the ground. Dozens of rabbit-sized creatures behind them were chasing them. When they looked closely, they were dozens of big rats.

Lu Weilin and the goblindrical goblin searched from the other side, but their search did not start too long before they encountered a group of big rats. The two had to retreat from the cave and shot while escaping.

Although Lu Weilin's shooting skills were very accurate, he had many big rats, and the nickname of the goblin rat did not make these mice regard him as a kind of person. He was short and his running speed was behind. He had been bitten by the big rats several times. Fortunately, Lu Weilin rescued him in time, otherwise he would have been surrounded by those crazy big rats. Even so, the big rats were getting closer and closer to them.

Bai Yunfei could not stand by when he saw the situation in front of him. He took out a grenade and threw it into the group of rats. He was naturally holding the whole situation. The grenade fell into the middle of the group of rats, accompanied by a blast of the blast, and more than a dozen rats in the explosion were blown away by blood.

Bai Yunfei then raised his submachine gun, aimed at the surviving rat below and began to shoot.

Lu Weilin and the Ding Gopher had just recovered. They received strong support, stopped and ran away, gained a foothold, picked up their guns and aimed at the Shuo Rat behind to start shooting. With Bai Yunfei's air support, they quickly controlled the battle situation. Shuo Rat was killed and injured. The surviving Shuo Rats realized that the situation was hopeless and turned around and fled.

The battle situation has been decided, and only a bloody and bloody corpse of rats is left at the scene.

The goblin spitted, and it was the first time in his life that he was so disgusted with the word rat.

Lu Weilin gave Bai Yunfei a thumbs up to express his gratitude to him.

Bai Yunfei said, "How is the progress?" In fact, he knew without asking that the two of them had not found anything valuable. Among the four of them, Luo Lie had the information here. This separate action had no practical significance. Bai Yunfei believed that Luo Lie should have discovered something during the time when he came out to help.

The goblin shook his head and sighed, "I didn't find anything. I think we shouldn't separate, so we can take care of each other." What happened just now still made him feel scared. If they hadn't withdrew in time, or if Bai Yunfei did not appear in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The proposal of drilling the gopher was exactly what Bai Yunfei wanted. The three of them gathered together again. Lu Weilin said curiously: "Where is Luo Lie?"

Bai Yunfei pointed inside and reminded them to hold their breath before entering the Mercury Cave. When Lu Weilin heard that there was poisonous gas inside, he also took out a gas mask from his backpack. Bai Yunfei saw it and sighed in his heart that Luo Lie and Lu Weilin were indeed in the same group, and they were prepared for this.
