Chapter 115
Looking at Zhou Wen’s state, he was already rolling his eyes; if they didn't provide first aid, he would probably die of shock.
Captain Wang, the leader of the special forces, immediately said, “Everyone step back, we have ropes!”
As he spoke, he took out the tools he carried and fired them toward the sacrificial altar.
With a sound of metal and stone colliding, one end of the rope was already fixed on the sacrificial altar.
Captain Wang said, “Everyone, fasten the ropes and slide down slowly.”
“Once we get close to the vines, we’ll find a way to save Zhou Wen!”
Hearing this, everyone didn't dare to delay and lined up, one by one, to go down.
And the Fatty and Tian Zhen were at the back of the line; Tian Zhen kept staring at the position above the sacrificial altar, not knowing what he was looking at.
The Fatty turned his head and asked, “What are you doing? Young Master Wu, what are you spacing out for?”
Tian Zhen pointed to the place above the sacrificial altar and whispered to the Fatty, “Look, is there someone squatting there?”
Hearing this, the Fatty looked in the direction Tian Zhen was pointing.
Sure enough, he discovered that there seemed to be a person squatting behind the vines, showing only a back view.
The Fatty recognized at a glance that it was Master Zhang who was chasing Zhou Wen!
“Holy crap! What is the Master doing squatting there?”
“And he’s not moving at all, and below him is the jade bed where the corpse is placed.”
“Isn't he creeped out squatting there?”
Tian Zhen felt that Master Zhang’s situation was a bit wrong, and he pulled the Fatty.
“It’s not about whether he’s creeped out, it’s about us being creeped out; look closely at what he’s doing?”
Hearing this, the Fatty squinted and looked, and cold sweat broke out!
Because he discovered that Master Zhang was actually squatting above the sacrificial altar, hiding behind the vines, digging at the animal carcasses hanging there!
Not only that, Master Zhang was shaking his head, as if he were possessed!
…….
The Fatty looked at Master Zhang’s appearance, and his whole person felt depressed.
“It’s over, Tian Zhen, if the Master is possessed, who among us can save him?”
“Why did I say I didn't see the Master’s shadow when I chased here? It turns out he hid behind the vines!”
“What should we do? Should we call him?”
Tian Zhen stopped him, “Don’t move yet! I always feel something is wrong.”
“Based on my understanding of the Master, he went to save people; how could he go dig up corpses himself without saving anyone?”
“And his posture is too abnormal; don’t you think the way he’s squatting doesn't look like a person?”
Squatting doesn't look like a person?!
It must be said that the Fatty was scared by Tian Zhen’s words.
This is an ancient tomb, for heaven’s sake, and there’s a sacrificial altar below, and corpses.
Saying things like this can really scare people to death, okay?
But when the Fatty looked at Master Zhang’s back again, he also felt that Tian Zhen was right.
Because Master Zhang’s squatting action was somewhat eerie.
A normal person squatting to look at something wouldn't squat with both legs together, because it’s not easy to borrow force.
Usually, one leg is used as a support leg, placed behind the butt.
But Master Zhang not only squatted with both legs together, his upper body seemed to have leaned forward.
The posture seen from behind looks very much like all four limbs touching the ground!
This is a posture only animals have!
No wonder Tian Zhen said his back didn't look much like a person!
It’s just why Master Zhang would squat like that?
The Fatty and Tian Zhen couldn't figure it out, so the two decided to quietly approach the Master when they reached the sacrificial altar later, to see what he was doing!
By the time the two finally slid down to the sacrificial altar with the help of the ropes,
Captain Wang had already led people to start rescuing the hanging Zhou Wen.
Captain Wang kept reminding everyone, “Don’t get close to the vines, don’t step on them.”
“If you don’t touch or get close to them, they don’t seem to attack actively!”
Seeing the special forces rescuing people, Professor Chen left some people to help.
And some followed him to approach the stone platform on the sacrificial altar.
When the camera shifted to the stone platform, everyone saw that there were actually two corpses lying on it!
A young female corpse, draped in white gauze, eyes closed, face serene.
The male corpse beside the female corpse was wearing a bronze mask with a fox face.
He was wearing tight armor, his hands placed on his chest, holding a purple-gold box in his hands!
The most important thing was that these two corpses actually showed no signs of decay.
Professor Chen paced around the stone platform very excitedly, sighing constantly, “Lifelike, truly lifelike!”
One of the archaeological team members said, “Professor, although this corpse is well-preserved, the male corpse’s attire is clearly not that of a feudal lord.”
Professor Chen also nodded, “Indeed, he is wearing a general’s uniform; if I’m not mistaken, this man and woman should be tomb guardians.”
“In other words, although the male corpse is not King Lu Shang, King Lu Shang’s coffin must be nearby!”
Hearing this, the archaeological team members all became excited.
Professor Chen immediately ordered, “Let’s divide into groups; one group will search the sacrificial altar to see if there are any mechanisms.”
“The other group, we will prepare to study these two tomb guardian corpses!”
The archaeological team members immediately responded and then began to rub their hands in anticipation.
Tian Zhen and the Fatty had been keeping Master Zhang, who was squatting behind the vines, in mind.
Seeing that others were busy, Tian Zhen pulled the Fatty to climb up the steps to see what Master Zhang was actually doing.
When the two passed by the stone platform, they looked at the two tomb guardian corpses in unison.
The Fatty saw the female corpse and even made a joke.
“Holy crap! This woman looks pretty good!”
And Tian Zhen saw the fox mask on the male corpse’s face, but felt somewhat uncomfortable.
He always felt he had overlooked something, related to Master Zhang squatting above!
The two passed the stone platform and walked up the steps, but no one noticed their actions.
Even the viewers in the live stream room had their eyes focused on Professor Chen and the others studying the corpses.
Only Zhang Lin, holding a bowl of rice, was watching Tian Zhen and the Fatty with great interest.
“Tsk tsk, these two unlucky guys!”
Because at this moment, in everyone’s eyes, they couldn't see Master Zhang squatting behind the vines at all.
The viewers in the live stream room, under the high-definition camera, also didn't see anyone squatting behind the vines.
But as soon as Zhang Lin saw the Fatty and Tian Zhen’s appearance, he knew these two had been tricked!
The Fatty and Tian Zhen walked toward the place where Master Zhang was squatting.
Once they got close, they indeed discovered that Master Zhang’s squatting action was very strange.
The Fatty directly made a joke without a heart or lungs.
“Master, what are you doing? Are you here to take a dump?”
Tian Zhen was still blaming the Fatty for talking nonsense, but when he turned his head, he discovered Master Zhang had no reaction at all.
He was just squatting there, motionless!
Tian Zhen was even more confused, reaching out to pat Master Zhang on the shoulder.
“Master, Master, what’s wrong with you?”
At this moment, Master Zhang, who had been patted on the shoulder, seemed to have just reacted.
Squatting there, he slowly turned his head with a weird posture.
And when the Fatty saw his head-turning action, he was so scared he almost sat on the ground!
When Master Zhang turned his head, his body didn't move at all.
From his whole body, only his head was moving!
