I was in a daze as I watched him slowly approach . At that ti, I must have fallen into a state similar to dozing off for a few seconds while driving, so I didn't give an imdiate warning.
As he gradually approached , he slowly pointed to his intestines and I felt as if I could sll their fishy odor. At this ti, a very weak instinct in my heart shouted: Don't sleep!
I imdiately woke up and looked directly in front of , only to find that Jiang Siwang was gone.
Just like dozing off for a few seconds while driving, I first felt a huge sense of panic. But I wasn't fully awake yet, so I looked around with my flashlight. Without Jiang Siwang standing there, it was just an open space in front of the tomb door. But for so reason, I found my whole body covered in sweat.
Was it a dream?
I looked at my watch (it showed a normal ti, so there shouldnt have been a ti skip like before; Fatty was just really tired) and found that I had just dozed off for about a second. I wiped my face and looked around again.
At this ti, I was still a layer away from reality and felt that kind of daze you normally feel just after waking up. But the constant psychological hints instantly woke up and I found that there was really nothing there.
I dared not be negligent in this place and figured Id have to be at least a little superstitious. I started to wonder if this was my subconscious mind reacting to this place. Was Jiang Siwang warning about sothing? He was pointing to his intestines, but what did that an?
His upper body was human while his lower body was intestines. I kept feeling like I had heard this story sowhere before.
This one-second nap had feeling more energetic, so I stood up and thought about where I had seen this symbol before. But at this age, the more I felt that I knew it, the more I couldn't rember it. I kept thinking about itsotis sitting, sotis doing push-ups, sotis lying flat on my backbut I just couldn't seem to rember it. Fatty and Poker-Face slept very soundly, and before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.
When I got bored, I watched the door. To be honest, this observation habit ca from my fear of the door, because I was worried that sothing would co out of it. But after watching it more than a dozen tis, nothing ca out.
After a while, the more I looked at it, the less I paid attention to it. At least, that was the case until the last ti I looked at it. I didnt see anything in the doorway this ti, but after a quick glance I suddenly felt that sothing was wrong. I turned to look at it carefully and found that there was nothing in the doorway, but it still seed different from before.
I couldnt figure out what exactly was different, but I instinctively felt that it was. It was like the darkness in the doorway had beco deeper, but my flashlight couldnt reach it since it was at a higher spot. After thinking about it, I stepped on the niches in the fake door and began to climb up.
It didnt take long to climb to the place where Poker-Face had been at before. Since the darkness was so strange, I leaned in the doorway, held my flashlight up, and shined it inside.
A strange wind blew out from the doorway. It was very weakalmost like a breathand had a musty sll that was mixed in with the cough-inducing stench of rotting viscera. It was very dark inside, but unusually so. I climbed up, squatted down at the entrance, and touched the wall of the tunnel. I found that the stone had been soaked in a black substance, which ant that it must have been specially treated.
This black substance seed to absorb light, making it impossible for my flashlight to shine as far as before. But to be honest, when I saw this doorway earlier, I didn't think that it was like this. After touching the tunnel wall, I found that this black substance ca from a bunch of black spots on the stone.
Were these black spots that ca out of the stone the sa as the black spot we had seen before?
I looked into the depths of the doorway and found that it was another deep tunnel, but the deepest part was a dark, primal chaos.
I stared at this chaos carefully, hoping to see a clue, but there werent any details at all. The end was just like a void in the universe. I didnt know why, but as I watched it, I suddenly found that I wanted to go in.
This kind of desire was so strong that it surged up from my heart and I almost imdiately moved forward a few steps. But I quickly held onto the tunnel wall to prevent myself from moving.
The rational part of my mind knew that this was bad, so I tried to turn my face away from the front. But at this ti, I found that I couldnt turn my neck or eyes away. The void was like a huge vacuum, and my consciousness began to wander.
For about two or three seconds, I realized that I hadnt been slacking off when I dozed off before. Since I was in the sa situation now, I knew that it had all been because of this hole. But this reasoning only supported for two or three seconds before I began to lose my sense of autonomy.
I dont have any mory of what happened next; I only felt that the darkness in front of was endlessly deep, but at the sa ti, it was like a kaleidoscope.
When I ca back to my senses, I didn't know how far I had gone. It was actually the extre cold that woke up. I found that I had co to a very dark space that was surrounded by endless darkness on all sides, but there were three huge stone tablets in front of .
There was ancient Mongolian script on the middle stone tablet, but Chinese on the left stone tablet. I illuminated it with my flashlight and found that there were several very large Chinese characters on it: Shilongyishan Heichitian.(1)
This should be the self-proclaid na of the god who was buried here.
My toes were numb, so I pointed my flashlight at my feet and touched them. I found that the ground under my feet was covered in ice and I could even see my breath when I exhaled.
I looked around with my flashlight and found that it didnt reflect off of anything, which ant that this space was huge.
I then looked behind but didnt see any footprints; I had no idea which direction I had co from.
I glanced at my watch and felt my heart freezeI had been walking for almost three hours. Those two would surely be frantic when they woke up and found that I had disappeared. I wanted to go back imdiately, but after thinking about it, I realized that I might get lost. I hesitated again and then looked back at the three stone tablets in front of .
I took out my flares and shot one into the air.
The light catapulted into the sky and lit up the surrounding area. The light wasnt that strong, but it still showed a vague outline of the area I was in. I found that this was a cave hall, at least the size of a stadium. There were countless stone houses behind the three stone tablets that looked very primitive, but all of them were built like temples. They were so densely packed into the cave walls that the walls were almost completely covered. These stone houses surrounded a huge stone building that looked kind of like a stone temple without any doors or windows.
It really was a stone mountain. This scene was about ten tis the size of the Corpse Country banquet. The huge stone building was sothing that humans couldnt build from scratch, so they had chosen a natural cave to use. But the most shocking thing was that there was a huge mountain wall behind the whole tomb chamber.
And on that mountain wall, there was a huge black spot like so kind of ancient virus that had infected the cave wall hundreds of ters up. Its tentacles extended all around like so kind of creature, forming one mark after another on the cave wall.
Black sun. This was a black sun.
I took a deep breath. This was the black pool that had been painted on the mural, so did that an that this was a dragon vein?
My God, the worlds second most valuable tomb was built directly inside of a dragon vein. This is as pure as you can get it.
