Chapter 274 Oil in the Lamp
If Tom’s words are not amazing, he will die.
More than just Taotie, he was stunned with shock!
Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird on the side were also shocked and died on the spot.
“Third brother?”
"Third sister-in-law?"
"White elephant and Komodo dragon?"
The hummingbird blinked and asked in confusion.
Fang Xiaocao: "!!!"
"The hummingbird also learned bad things?"
Fang Xiaocao muttered.
Fang Xiaocao said that he learned bad things from this one and bad things from that one, but he never reflected on himself. Why did he understand them all instantly...
"That's right!"
"Before, the third brother was the one I admired the most!"
"Now, I have to add a Taotie!"
Tom said matter-of-factly.
Hearing Tom's words, Taotie's eyes darkened and he almost lay down on the spot.
“Ahem!”
“Let’s hurry up and enter the general’s tomb!”
Seeing that Taotie’s eyes were red and on the verge of going berserk, Fang Xiaocao hurriedly Change the topic.
If you dwell on this topic any longer, something could easily happen.
If Taotie and Tom get into a fight, she and Hummingbird can't hold these two guys back.
Hearing Fang Xiaocao's words, Tom looked at the candle behind the stone door. The candle was burning very brightly, and the flames were jumping up and down, as if they were dancing happily.
“Yes!”
“You can go in!”
Tom nodded in agreement.
“Taotie!”
Seeing that Taotie was still on the verge of going berserk, Fang Xiaocao shouted to Taotie.
Hearing Fang Xiaocao's voice, Taotie's severe scarlet color faded a little, and he regained his clarity.
Taotie looked at Fang Xiaocao: "Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"
Fang Xiaocao could hear that there was a trace of suppressed anger in Taotie's tone.
“You protect me personally!”
“Let Tom clear the way in front!”
“Is that okay?”
Fang Xiaocao said with a smile .
Taotie is obviously angry now.
Not suitable for road opening work.
Anger can affect people's thinking and judgment.
Taotie was originally a tiger, but was affected by anger.
Who knows if I can step on some mechanism to play.
Taotie nodded: "No problem!"
"That's good!"
Taotie did not insist on rushing to explore the way, and Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tom, I leave it to you!”
Fang Xiaocao said to Tom.
"Okay!"
"No problem, I'll explore the way!"
Tom smiled and nodded.
“Hummingbird, you are the center of support.”
“If Tom gets into trouble, you come to support.”
Fang Xiaocao assigned another task to Hummingbird.
“Okay, Your Highness Princess!”
The hummingbird nodded in response.
“Let’s go!”
Fang Xiaocao waved his hand and shouted loudly.
Tom took the lead, followed the crack in the door, got into the stone door, picked up the candle on the ground, extinguished it, put it back in his backpack, and started the work of exploring the path.
Fang Xiaocao and three others also filed in along the crack in the door and entered the second stone door of the general's tomb.
At the end, it is still a tomb passage.
What is different from the previous tomb passage is that there are pairs of lamps on the stone walls on the two floors of this tomb passage.
Fang Xiaocao took a closer look. The lamp was made of metal. Judging from the green rust on it, it should be made of bronze.
Fang Xiaocao stood up on tiptoes and took a look into the lamp. She was surprised to find that there was a thin layer of transparent and viscous lamp oil in the lamp. "Huh?"
"There is still lamp oil in the lamp!"
Fang Xiaocao couldn't help but exclaimed.
Hearing Fang Xiaocao's call, Tom and the other two people also looked over. The three of them were paying attention to the possible hidden weapons in the tomb passage.
I didn't even pay attention to the lamps on both sides.
Looking at the almost transparent lamp oil in the lamp.
Fang Xiaocao felt very surprised.
I took out the match and wanted to try it by lighting it.
“Your Highness, no!”
Seeing Fang Xiaocao's actions, Tom was shocked.
Hurry up and stop Fang Xiaocao from moving.
The hummingbird on the side is closest to Fang Xiaocao.
With quick eyes and quick hands, he grabbed Fang Xiaocao.
Smoothly knocked the match off Fang Xiaocao’s hand.
Fang Xiaocao was confused and didn't know what was going on.
Looked at Tom with some confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"Is it the lamp oil that bites people?"
Fang Xiaocao blinked and asked in confusion.
"Almost!"
Seeing Fang Xiaocao's silly move being stopped by Hummingbird, Tom breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, you must not touch the things in this ancient tomb, especially these decorations."
Tom walked over quickly and said.
“Why?”
Fang Xiaocao asked curiously.
Fang Xiaocao felt that it was just a lamp.
What danger could there be?
She was just curious as to why the lamp oil in the lamp had not dried up after thousands of years.
And these lamp oils are actually transparent.
Was there such a sophisticated refining technology in ancient times?
What exactly is this oil?
It smells like fish.
Looking at Fang Xiaocao's gaze, Tom shook his head helplessly and explained: "Your Royal Highness, during the construction process of the ancient tomb, if there are hidden weapons installed, decoration and floor tiles are often chosen as a starting point. Switches, such as these lamps, may have some mechanism connected behind them, or With these lamp oils, poisonous gas or hallucinogenic drugs are often mixed into the lamp oil when setting up anti-grave robbery devices.”
“If a tomb robber enters the tomb and lights these lamps, it is very likely. It will release poisonous gas or hallucinogenic drugs, or it may trigger some mechanism.”
After listening to Tom's explanation, Fang Xiaocao's expression changed and he quickly took a few steps back, away from the lamp.
“It’s so dangerous!”
“I almost killed everyone!”
Fang Xiaocao said with lingering fear.
"Your Highness, please don't run around by yourself. You must pay attention to the floor I stepped on to prevent you from stepping on the hidden mechanisms in the floor."
Tom continued to warn.
Fang Xiaocao nodded: "Yeah!"
"Don't worry, I understand."
"But, what are these lamp oils made of?"
“Why hasn’t it dried up after so long?”
"And it's almost transparent. It's really magical."
Fang Xiaocao asked the question that he had always been curious about.
"This..."
Hearing Fang Xiaocao's question, Tom's expression froze and he said awkwardly: "I don't know either..."
Fang Xiaocao was a little disappointed that his curiosity could not be satisfied: "Okay..."
Taotie on the side smiled "hehe" and said triumphantly: "I know this!"
"You know?"
Fang Xiaocao was stunned and asked.
Tom also looked at Taotie curiously.
Taotie would actually know this, which they never expected. Taotie, a naive guy, doesn’t look like a top student, but a complete scumbag. How could he know what this is? ?
"Haha~"
Looking at Fang Xiaocao and Tom, their faces were confused and I didn't believe it, Taotie chuckled: "Don't look down on people, okay, I can't know anything. Are you done?”
Fang Xiaocao blinked and thought so.
You can’t look at Taotie with colored glasses.
Taotie is just a tiger, not stupid.
