Chapter 909: The Origin of the Ancient Tomb (Two Chapters in One)
Lin Li did not respond to Qi Mengdie's panic, because no matter how much he tried to comfort him at this time, it would be useless. Only practical actions could completely reassure him.
“Bang.”
Raised his hand and snapped his fingers, clusters of orange-red flames the size of fingernails quickly flew around.
“Huh…”
Qi Mengdie was suddenly hit by an oncoming heat wave and felt very hot.
She was extremely shocked as she looked at the more than twenty huge fireballs with a diameter of more than two meters that appeared in front of her.
"This...this is too exaggerated!"
"Lin Li's strength is indeed more than the middle level of the second level...!!!"
Lin Li didn't know Qi Qi Mengdie was shocked. He was concentrating on dealing with the surrounding monsters.
As more than twenty giant fireballs were created, a large area around them was illuminated by the light emitted by the fireballs.
"Woo..."
All the monsters that appeared made a scalp-numbing cry. At a glance, there were at least a hundred of these monsters.
You know, the number of monsters that besieged Qi Mengdie and her guards before was only thirty or forty, but now it has more than doubled.
"Why are there so many monsters?" Qi Mengdie looked away from the fireball, roughly estimated the number of monsters surrounding him, and said to himself in confusion.
"Let's go." Lin Li didn't wait for the monsters to launch an all-out charge, but with a thought in his mind, he preemptively controlled the giant fireballs around him to attack the slowly approaching monsters.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Fireballs drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air and landed among piles of monsters.
Lin Li did not let these fireballs explode, because more than twenty fireballs exploded at the same time, and the power produced was amazing.
If Lin Li was alone at the scene, he would not have to worry about the fireball explosion affecting him. Now in order to take care of Qi Mengdie behind him, he directly roasted these monsters with fireballs.
"Woo..."
Although these monsters can't feel pain, after being swallowed by the fireball, their screams can't help but increase in volume.
All of a sudden, scalp-numbing strange screams were heard one after another in the tomb chamber.
“It turns out that fire attacks can be used to deal with these monsters. It would have been nice if I had known this method before.”
Qi Mengdie saw the many monsters surrounding them, and in Lin Li’s fireball offensive She was defeated and muttering to herself. At this time, most of the panic in her heart disappeared.
Real knowledge comes from practice! Burn these guys directly with fireballs. The crystals in their bodies can't withstand the high temperature and there will be problems... Lin Li thought to himself with a smile as he saw the charred monsters falling to the ground with no sign of resurrection.
The monsters that had made Qi Mengdie and the others extremely desperate before were all destroyed within a few minutes under Lin Li's fire offensive.
The air is filled with a burnt smell, which smells quite unpleasant.
Lin Li raised his hand and waved it, trying to dispel the burnt smell lingering on the tip of his nose.
However, there were so many burning monsters around that there was no way to dispel the burning smell.
"The smell here is too strong, let's leave quickly..."
"Oh." Qi Mengdie was stunned by Lin Li's actions. After hearing the greeting and leaving, she came to her senses and stepped forward. He picked up his pace and quickly caught up with Lin Li, who was walking forward first.
“By the way, you and your guards fought fiercely with those guys here before.
The guards chose to stay and delay in order to cover you. Why is there not even a body of the guards around? See it?" Lin Li was a little confused and said to Qi Mengdie who was following him.
"I don't know about this either." Qi Mengdie shook her head when she heard this. She was also very confused about this matter.
It seems that those guards are all dead... Lin Li muttered in his heart.
He did not say this explicitly in order to take care of Qi Mengdie's emotions.
Because of the guard matter, Lin Li and Qi Mengdie suddenly stopped talking. The scene became quiet, and the sound of the two walking was clearly audible.
More than a minute later, in order to relieve the dull atmosphere, Lin Li said, "There are many murals in this tomb, do you understand?"
Qi Mengdie felt heavy, hearing Lin Li asked, her attention shifted a little, and then she talked about the mural.
"I can only understand part of these murals."
I can understand such abstract murals. Could it be that this woman is also quite abstract... Lin Li looked at Qi Mengdie in surprise and complained in his heart.
Originally, he just said something casually to relieve the dull atmosphere, but he didn't expect to gain something unexpected.
From the moment he entered this ancient tomb and saw the murals, Lin Li could not understand any of them.
Now that Qi Mengdie said that some of these murals can be understood, Lin Li said happily, "That's great. I don't know anything about these murals. Can you tell me about them?"
"Of course." Qi Mengdie is now injured and is completely a burden. Without Lin Li's protection, there is a high probability that she will not be able to leave the ancient tomb alive.
Being able to tell the content of the mural shows that she is not useless, so she is naturally happy to answer Lin Li's questions.
Then Qi Mengdie began to tell Lin Li about the life story of the tomb owner that she learned through some murals.
This ancient tomb is at least 13,500 years old. The owner of the tomb was an extraordinary leader during his lifetime. He once led an army to clear out the exotic beasts in the area where the ancient tomb was located.
After defeating the herd of alien beasts entrenched here, although the army won, the owner of the tomb also suffered extremely serious injuries, and eventually died of his injuries on the way back.
In order to reward the owner of the ancient tomb, the emperor at that time ordered people to build a tomb here according to the last wish of the tomb owner, and bury the outstanding owner of the ancient tomb and the sacrificed soldiers here.
Qi Mengdie told Lin Li all the information about the ancient tomb that she learned through the murals. The main content was the origin of the ancient tomb. As for the other things, Qi Mengdie was unable to analyze it further because of her limited knowledge.
"This is all I know."
Lin Li said with a smile, "You can understand these contents through the murals, which is already amazing. Do you like some ancient books very much?"
Qi Mengdie nodded shyly. Lin Li was a little confused when he saw that the other party was shy.
In fact, the reason why Qi Mengdie is shy is because everyone who knows her knows that Qi Mengdie is a woman who likes to dance with guns and clubs and has a fierce personality.
Unexpectedly, Qi Mengdie secretly likes to read books, especially some ancient books, and is even more interested in some abstract murals.
......
The two people walked and chatted, and soon left the tomb that was full of burning smell.
After entering the tomb passage, the sound of chatting immediately disappeared, because no one knew what was going on ahead, so it was best to keep quiet to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Lin Li was walking in front, the lights on his helmet and the flashlight in his hands illuminating the road some distance ahead.
Qi Mengdie, who was following him, knew that his current physical condition was a complete liability.
So she worked hard and paid attention to the surrounding situation. Once she found anything abnormal, she would be able to alert Lin Li who was opening the way in front of her as soon as possible.
"It hurts! I'm here, come and help me..."
In the tomb passage, Lin Li and Qi Mengdie heard the weak and painful sounds from the distance at the same time.
It can be said that the two people have deep memories of this weird sound.
“Damn it.” Qi Mengdie glared in the direction from which the strange sound came, and cursed secretly through gritted teeth.
The reason why she is in this situation is all because of this weird voice.
If she is strong enough, she will definitely destroy the source.
Lin Li didn't have much resentment towards the strange sounds coming from the distance, but he still felt a little unhappy when he thought that he had been tricked.
"Let's go and take a look." "Is there any danger?"
Although Qi Mengdie hated the weird noise that put her in trouble, her reason told her to be careful. Do what is right.
Otherwise she would be in danger again, even if Lin Li was willing to protect her, she might not be able to survive.
"How can one be considered absolutely safe in this ancient tomb?" Lin Li asked back.
Qi Mengdie was stunned for half a second when she heard the words, and then nodded. Then, she saw Lin Li walking towards the direction where the strange sound came from, so she quickly followed.
"Tap, step, step..."
The sound of footsteps echoes in the tomb passage, and when it falls in people's ears, it will make people feel panicked.
If it were just the sound of footsteps while walking, and for a person who is not extremely timid, he would not be so frightened that his palms would break out in cold sweat.
"I'm here, come and help me..."
The strange sounds of weakness, hesitation, and longing for others to help him continued to come from a distance.
Intertwined with the sound of footsteps, it echoes continuously in the tomb passage and falls on people's ears, causing an extraordinary impact.
Qi Mengdie, who was injured, was usually more courageous, but she was not immune to the impact at this moment, making her nervous heart beat fast.
Lin Li, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. Qi Mengdie, who was following closely behind him, was unprepared and bumped directly into Lin Li, letting out a scream.
“Ouch.”
Lin Li suddenly stopped, catching Qi Mengdie off guard. She thought something had happened, but when she was about to speak, she saw Lin Li stretching out his hand.
"Here."
"Take it and eat it."
Qi Mengdie looked at the thing in Lin Li's hand blankly, and then asked doubtfully, "This What is it?"
"Candy."
"Hey!" Qi Mengdie was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Li would treat him to candy at this time.
If it were anyone else, Qi Mengdie would definitely suspect that the other party was up to something evil, thinking that there was something wrong with the candy and that there would be disaster after eating it.
And this candy was given by Lin Li.
Although the two have known each other for a short time, Qi Mengdie trusted Lin Li's character and did not think there was anything wrong with the candy. She was just wondering why Lin Li suddenly invited her to eat candy at this time?
Qi Mengdie's doubts were quickly answered when she heard what Lin Li said.
"Sugar can relieve people's mental stress. I see that you are very nervous. It should be better to eat some candy."
"Thank you." After hearing Lin Li's explanation, Qi Mengdie quickly thanked her and said in her heart He muttered, "This person is so considerate!"
"How is it, how does it taste?" Lin Li asked with a smile when he saw Qi Mengdie stuffing a White Rabbit toffee into her mouth.
"It has a milky aroma, which I think is delicious..." Qi Mengdie replied.
"Just eat it if you like." Lin Li said, then he also opened a White Rabbit toffee and threw it into his mouth.
"It's just like you said. I ate the candy and I felt less nervous." Because of Lin Li's interruption, Qi Mengdie's nervousness disappeared with the sweet taste in her mouth.
“This is a method a friend of mine told me.” Lin Li said with a smile.
Speaking of eating sweets to relieve mood, this method was taught by Su Yue.
More than a year ago, two people went to see a movie and chose a horror movie. The reason why they chose this type of movie was Su Yue's decision.
This was very painful for Lin Li. While watching the movie, the horrifying scenes made Lin Li's emotions fluctuate violently.
Su Yue, who was sitting aside at that time, was quite calm and watched with gusto.
When she realized that Lin Li was too excited, Su Yue quickly took out a candy from her bag and stuffed it into Lin Li's hand, telling her to eat it quickly.
The embarrassing scenes from the past flashed through Lin Li's mind, and then he retracted his divergent thoughts.
“Let’s keep going forward.”
“Yeah.”
The two people paused briefly, and then continued walking towards the place where the strange sound came from.
…………
In the dark ancient tomb, there was a sound from time to time in a tomb that was invisible.
"Save me."
"Here, I am here..."
"I'm in so much pain! Come and help me..."
Compared to other areas in the tomb, this tomb chamber is quite noisy.
Weird sounds spread far away, and when they appear in quiet areas, they can make people tremble.
Suddenly, some white light appeared at the entrance of the tomb, illuminating a small area.
Then, the sound of footsteps entering the tomb.
"It seems that we have found the source this time. If anything happens later, don't panic. As long as you stay with me, I can ensure your personal safety."
"Yes."
“Do you want more candy?”
“Thank you, no need, I haven’t finished the candy you just gave me.”
Lin Li and Qi Mengdie stood in the tomb After chatting for a few words, the two people walked into the tomb chamber where strange noises were coming from.
"There are no psychic fluctuations here?"
Lin Li used his mental perception to explore the tomb. He found no abnormalities in the places where the light could not shine.
Lin Li originally thought that this tomb was the source of the strange sounds, and that there must be creatures emitting psychic fluctuations, such as the previous monsters with tentacles.
However, so far, Lin Li has not seen or sensed any living creatures or creatures emitting psychic energy fluctuations here.
"It's too slow to continue like this." Lin Li stopped and muttered to himself.
Qi Mengdie, who was following closely behind, said nothing and patiently waited for the follow-up.
Lin Li did not let Qi Mengdie wait for a long time. After thinking for half a minute, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The scene Qi Mengdie saw before happened again, one after another giant fireballs were born out of thin air in a short period of time.
"Spread out." Lin Li thought silently in his heart.
Then the giant fireballs surrounding his body quickly rose into the air and flew around.
The giant fireball, which was at least two meters in diameter, emitted light and heat, quickly dispelling the coldness and darkness in the tomb.
"What is that?!!!"
Qi Mengdie, who had remained silent after entering the tomb, couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw something in the distance.
