Chapter 166: Tomb Room

Because I was too afraid of these highly toxic butterflies, I didn't care about the dose when decomposing the explosives. I just thought that the more gunpowder the better, so as not to burn these tens of thousands of emperor butterflies at once. If they were flying outside, we would be in no way able to resist the enemy.

However, I never expected that the gunpowder among the four explosives could burst out with such power. When I ignited the gunpowder in the room, I felt a huge impact roaring. I suddenly felt a burning pain all over my body, and then my feet left the ground and were knocked back by the heat wave.

Fortunately, I was right in front of the hole door, and my back was straight from the stone bridge behind me. If that weren't the case, I'm afraid I would have to fall down the bridge.

Although my life was saved, I still fell to my vegetarian food. I felt a sudden pain in my back, and there were stars in my eyes flashing. I couldn't even scream "Ouch". I held my breath in my chest and couldn't get down. I lay on the ground and rolled my eyes.

Except for Ding Yi, everyone else was shocked and rushed up to surround me, asking me if I was seriously injured or injured?

I took a long time to breathe, and shook my hand at everyone with a wry smile and indicated that I was not a big problem. Then I raised my head and looked at the terrifying butterfly cave. I found that the firelight in the cave had disappeared, and the open cave door was extremely quiet. No emperor butterfly flew out of it. In addition, there was an unpleasant burnt stinking.

I know that this is my plan and that a large number of monarch butterflies should have been burned to death in the hole. Although the pain is still unbearable, my mood is getting better. Being able to avoid this great disaster can be considered a merit.

Seeing that there was a faint smile in my eyes, the prince seemed to guess what I was thinking. He stared at my face and looked left and right, and then he sneered and said, "Old Xie, don't be beautiful, and don't look at what you look like. You are like a goose egg. How can you be happy?"

Hearing this, I was shocked and quickly reached out to touch my face. I felt that there were a lot of particles in my eyebrows, knowing that it was caused by burning eyebrows and eyelashes. I quickly stroked my eyebrows a few more times and found that there was only a row of eyebrows that were extremely short on my skin.

This scared me very much. Although I am not as handsome as a bearded man, I am still a little confident when talking about my appearance. No matter what, it can be considered as a handsome appearance. Now I am burned bare. How do I meet people?

I thought of Ji Wenhui at the first time and quickly looked at her, and saw the light in her eyes flowing, both of which were intimate and hilarious. At this time, she faced me with all her eyes, and her body trembled for a few moments, and finally burst out with a "punch". She covered her lips and turned her head aside, and didn't even dare to look at me again.

My face suddenly felt ashamed as a big red cloth, and I felt both wronged and sad. But in front of Ji Wenhui, I couldn't act too twitchy, so I had to hold on and wave my hand and smiled: "What's this? It's not that I have no eyebrows. When I grow in a few days, I'm a handsome guy again." After saying that, I didn't dare to show my face for everyone to see. I endured the pain and got up, and quickly walked to Ding Yi's side and bent over to observe.

Ding Yi had stopped howling at this time, his whole body curled up, trembling constantly while making a weak ***. I saw a small amount of yellow liquid flowing out slowly between his fingers, so I gently grabbed his arm and said warmly: "Don't move around, I'll see your injuries."

Although Ding Yi was in extremely painful, he was quite clear-headed. His arms were originally tense due to severe pain. After listening to me, he relaxed his arms a little, slowly moved them away with my strength, and exposed his eyes.

At this time, the rest of the people also came over. When Ding Yi raised his palm, everyone let out a low scream at the same time, and their expressions were full of unbearable expressions.

I saw that Ding Yi's two eyeballs had completely melted, and a pair of black holes was still bubbled up. It seemed that the venom of the monarch butterfly had a dissolving effect. As long as it was invaded by toxins, it would slowly erode and melt the human body's flesh and blood organs like sulfuric acid. Such a violent and severe poison is truly unheard of.

Looking at Ding Yi's terrible look, I felt a little sad. Although this person is not a good person, what he does is nothing more than a deceiver. It is a bit too heavy to punish him by taking his eyes.

I felt sad and couldn't bear to see him again, so I turned around and asked the bearded man, "Is there any help?"

The bearded man squatted down and looked at it for a while, wrapped his fingers in his clothes and gently pressed it in Ding Yi's eyes a few times, and asked in a deep voice: "Does it hurt?"

Ding Yi's voice was extremely weak, and he replied in a trembling voice, "What...what does it hurt?"

My bearded man and I looked at each other with a very serious expression. It seemed that Ding Yi had lost consciousness. He didn't even realize such a serious wound. I'm afraid the toxin had spread on his head.

The bearded man pondered for a moment, then whispered to me: "The poisoning is too deep, I don't know if it can be saved. We brought some detoxification potions, and I can only do my best to match each other to see if it can work. But no matter what, his eyes will definitely not be able to be saved."

I sighed and nodded and said, "Try it, you can't see him die like this." Then I stood up and asked the prince and Ji Saner to help the bearded man heal poison and save people. I slowly walked to the door of the butterfly cave and watched thoughtfully inside.

I saw that the ground of the butterfly cave was covered with thick layers of butterfly corpses, most of which were burned into charred meat balls, and some of them were still struggling and rolling on the ground. However, because of their wings, they were only surviving and could no longer pose any threat to us.

When I recalled Ding Yi's experience, I couldn't help but feel scared when I looked at the butterfly corpses all over the ground. If the bearded man had not sealed the entrance of the cave at that time, how could we possibly resist such a large group of butterflies? If it weren't for a moment, we would have been besieged to death by a large number of emperor butterflies.

However, there is another puzzling thing in my mind, which is where did these huge monarch butterflies come from? How could they survive until now after thousands of years? Even with sufficient food and perfect ecological conditions, no creature can have such a long lifespan, let alone a butterfly with extremely short lifespan?

Just as I was at a loss, I suddenly felt a tender little hand gently holding my palm. I turned my head and saw that it was Ji Wenhui. I smiled at her, but I didn't say anything, and my mind was still thinking about the difficult puzzle.

Ji Wenhui saw through my thoughts and said softly: "Do you remember I said that this cave used to be a vacuum environment?"

I was shocked and vaguely thought of the truth, but I always felt that something was missing, so I asked her hesitantly: "Can these butterflies be kept for thousands of years by vacuum?"

Ji Wenhui shook her head slightly and continued, "There may be a factor of temperature." As she said that, she explained her theory to me.

Just as the butterfly hole was broken, a stream of cold air suddenly ejected, which means that the original temperature in the butterfly hole was very low. The monarch butterfly would hibernate in this environment, and while hibernating, a vacuum formed in the hole, so that the space would be completely isolated from the world.

It may be possible to preserve vital signs for thousands of years in such an environment. For example, the wet corpse unearthed from Mawangdui is similar to this matter. What's more, after the wet corpse was unearthed, scholars found that the corpse that was thousands of years ago was still growing with hair and nails, which is directly related to the environment in which it was preserved.

In this world, some things are difficult to explain clearly. Only after being discovered can they be recognized by people. Otherwise, they may always be considered a fantasy.

After Ji Minhui said this, I suddenly realized. Her analysis should be very close to the standard answer. At least in the present opinion, only such an explanation can explain this incredible thing clearly.

However, thousands of years ago, we can't figure out why people here sealed up so many emperor butterflies. It is estimated that this matter must be inseparable from the Nightmare Stone, "Soul-Suppressing the Soul", or the Blood Demon, and we can only slowly interpret this matter over time.

After a meal, the bearded man had already been treated. He told me that Ding Yi's eyes had completely dissolved and blindness was inevitable. However, due to the timely treatment, his life was temporarily saved. He should not be poisoned again within a few days. After leaving this place, he would find a way to eradicate the toxins in his body.

At this time, Ding Yi had already fallen into a coma, and probably wouldn't wake up for a while. Then I asked everyone to sit there and rest for a while, seized the time to eat something to replenish their energy, and set off again in fifteen minutes.

During this period, I criticized the prince a lot, saying that his way of throwing shoes was really harmful to others, so as to take revenge on the revenge he had ridiculed me just now.

After the rest, the bearded man asked me which bridge I would go to now? I said that since I have already walked through this bridge, don’t make random choices and walk one by one in a clockwise direction to save me from going around.

So the bearded man carried the unconscious Ding Yi on his back and walked back along the same path. After passing the corridor of the Jiulong Giant Column, he walked onto another stone bridge next to the Butterfly Cave Stone Bridge.

Since we had walked through two stone bridges before, nothing special happened on the bridge body, we were relieved about these stone bridges and walked much faster than before.

After walking to the end of the stone bridge, we found that the structure here is very different from that of the butterfly cave. There is also a stone door standing at the end of the bridge, but this stone door is made of good stone. The two stone doors are in a cross-open shape, with thick and solid door panels, and there are nine snake monsters passing through the flowers. This pattern is exactly the same as the dragon robe worn by the statue of King Jiulong. What surprised us the most was that the stone door had a small gap, which was obviously opened by someone.

As soon as Ji Wenhui saw this door, she yelled softly, then she took two steps forward, stared at the wall lights on the left and right sides of the stone door and watched carefully.

After a while, she turned around and said to me, "It's the eternal light, it seems to be a tomb."

Looking at the strange gap, I realized that someone was hiding inside. It was not entirely possible that the person who opened the stone door was Gao Lin. So I winked at Hu and Wang, and the three of them tiptoed and walked to the stone door step by step. Then I shone the flashlight through the crack of the door, held my breath, and looked in close proximity.

As Ji Wenhui said, looking at the light of the wolf's eyes flashlight, I vaguely seemed to see a coffin placed in the middle of the room. But what is quite unique is that the coffin lid of the coffin... seems to be open.
