Chapter 488 Hairy Zongzi
The scarred man suddenly pulled out his dagger and pressed the cold light against the bearded man's chin:
"Stop making excuses! Tomb Chamber No. 3 must be cleared tonight before anything goes wrong again.
Your heads will end up like these pots!"
He raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face and glanced at the crowd: "Also, send someone to keep an eye on those herb pickers. We can't let the news get out. Find a way to kill them."
Lin Panpan really didn't expect these people to come back. Several tomb robbers followed Lin Panpan and Lin Feng all the way with guns.
Lin Panpan frowned, feeling uneasy. "What are they trying to do by following us? Are they going to kill us to silence us?"
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "You never know. These people are capable of doing anything immoral!"
Lin Panpan sneered, took out a tranquilizer gun from his pocket and said, "You're dreaming, just wait and see how I deal with them!"
After a while, all these people collapsed on the ground and fell asleep.
Lin Panpan ran to the tomb robbers' lair, and the scene before her made her gasp.
Hundreds of tomb robbers were busy surrounding the cave, some were digging the soil with shovels, and some were hanging things out of the cave with ropes.
There were many antiques scattered on the ground, including bronze tripods, pottery jars, and porcelain bowls mixed together, covered with mud. Some of the bottles and jars were chipped and cracked, and it was obvious that they had just been dug out from the ground.
The scene was as messy as a scrap yard, with dirt and tools everywhere, exuding an indescribable eerie atmosphere.
Lin Weihua stared at the bronze and pottery vessels piled up in a mess on the ground, his eyes wide open: "Wow, what dynasty is this tomb from? How did they dig out so many treasures?"
Lin Panpan frowned, wondering in her heart, "It's hard to say right now. Let's see what they can dig out first."
Looking at those tomb robbers, they indeed have a clear division of labor.
Some people were specifically keeping watch on the surroundings, some were using Luoyang shovels to find the entrance to the tomb, and some were waiting at the cave entrance, handing up the things they had dug out one by one.
But just when everyone was busy, someone suddenly shouted at the top of their lungs: "Something's wrong! Something's wrong in the tomb! Several people are missing!"
The scene suddenly exploded.
The tomb robbers who were on alert ran towards the cave entrance in a panic, and those who were digging didn't care about their tools, just threw them away and rushed in.
The cave entrance was crowded with people running and shouting, "Hurry up and save them! Is there a trap?"
After a while, someone crawled out of the cave, his face pale and his lips trembling. "There's something down there... down there. Several people... are motionless!"
Upon hearing that something happened below, the tomb robbers at the entrance of the cave all rushed down.
After a while, a heart-wrenching scream came from the tomb. The sound was so sharp and creepy that it made people feel a chill on the back of their necks.
Lin Panpan quickly pulled Lin Weihua back, "Let's go! Stay away from here! This kind of ancient tomb is very evil, and you never know what fatal things might have happened!"
The two of them ran and hid in the woods in the distance.
Before he could catch his breath, bursts of screams came from the other side of the tomb, each one louder than the last.
Lin Panpan plucked up the courage to look inside, and her legs went weak with fear.
I saw several tomb robbers covered in blood, their flesh torn to shreds, and tatters of clothes hanging on their bodies. They were running around the open space like crazy, howling as they ran.
The remaining tomb robbers all had pale faces, staring at the tomb entrance with their guns raised, their hands shaking constantly.
The sound of gunfire continued, and no one knew what was going on in the tomb.
After a long time, they finally quieted down. The leader with the scar on his face cursed fiercely:
"Damn it! Zongzi appeared in the tomb! This place is too weird!
We lost dozens of brothers this time, and I’m afraid those who went in won’t survive!”
Someone nearby trembled and asked, "How could there be something like this in an ancient tomb?"
Lin Panpan, who was hiding in the dark, felt scared when she heard this.
Although she had never actually been to a tomb, she knew from books that the "zongzi" that tomb robbers talked about were actually corpses that were preserved exceptionally well in ancient tombs and even moved.
I heard that these things are as hard as rocks and so strong that they can strangle people to death.
Some will even pounce on living people and bite them, which makes your scalp tingle just thinking about it.
As soon as Lin Panpan climbed up the tree and stood firm, she saw several dark shadows moving towards her in the distance.
The black shadow moved faster and faster, like a gust of wind.
But before the tomb robbers under the tree could react, a black shadow suddenly pounced on them, opened its mouth and bit their necks fiercely.
Lin Panpan widened her eyes and almost fell from the tree.
Those things were covered with long gray-white hair, had blue skin, and long, pointed nails. They were just like the hairy dumplings described in the book!
Her hands and feet were cold and her back was covered in cold sweat.
When I read about it in books before, I thought it was made up, but I never thought I would actually see it with my own eyes!
The scene suddenly became a mess.
Some tomb robbers turned around and ran away crying, but before they took a few steps, they were knocked to the ground by Zongzi.
Some raised their guns and shot at the zongzi. The bullets hit the zongzi like hitting stones, and only sparks came out.
In a short while, several people's necks were bitten off by the zongzi, blood gushed out, and they fell straight to the ground, obviously not going to survive.
Lin Feng was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell off the tree. He quickly squatted down holding the trunk, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.
Lin Weihua's face was pale and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.
Lin Panpan quickly made a "hush" sound, signaling them to be quiet. She pinched her nose and whispered, "Hold your breath! They find people by smell!" The others also hurriedly covered their mouths and noses.
After eating their fill, the biting monsters didn't leave, but instead hung around nearby.
Their bodies were covered in blood, their long gray-white fur was messy, and they made strange "ho ho" sounds from time to time, their eyes staring around.
As soon as there is any movement, they will immediately turn around and pounce, their teeth gnashing with a "clacking" sound, which looks very scary.
A group of people hid in the trees and dared not make a sound, for fear of being discovered by the monster.
It was not until those hairy dumplings dragged their stiff bodies back to the tomb, step by step, and disappeared into the dark cave that Lin Panpan's tense back collapsed.
She gasped for breath, her voice still trembling:
"Damn it, I almost lost my life here today!
I don’t know how many ghosts are hidden in this tomb.”
Lin Weihua stared at the messy holes on the ground, his Adam's apple rolling up and down: "Those...those antiques that were dug out, do we still want them?"
His eyes swept over the bronze objects and blood-stained pottery jars, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the tree trunk.
He was scared to death, wasn't he? It was just a trip into the mountains, wasn't it? Why did he encounter such a dangerous situation?
Old Jia squatted down, picked up a piece of pottery covered with mud, rubbed it back and forth in his hands, and rolled his Adam's apple a few times before he spoke.
