Chapter 512: Unlocking the Curse
at this time.
Yang Lele pointed at the ground and said, "Look at the black relief on the ground... It seems to depict how to use this altar!"
Hear this.
The archaeological team members dispersed in all directions.
Then he looked down at the ground where they had been standing before... He saw a man dressed as a high priest twisting two beads in his hands and placing them into the two white jade bowls!
When the archaeological team saw this relief, they were reminded of the huge eye in the background.
All of a sudden!
A bold idea came into their minds.
"You think...the thing the high priest is holding in his hand is an eyeball?" Hawkeye said with a pale face.
The rest of the archaeological team thought so too!
But they don't know why King Xing of Chu used eyeballs for sacrifice? And what is the purpose of this hourglass?
But just when everyone was confused.
Suddenly, there was a crisp "click" sound in front of me!
Everyone looked up!
It turned out that the hourglass mechanism was activated... I saw fine sand flowing from the upper funnel into the lower funnel!
The archaeological team didn't know what bad things would happen if the sand leaked out.
But instinct still drives them to think!
Gu Wuyan frowned and said, "Could it be that these reliefs mean... that we must sacrifice two eyes before the sand in the hourglass runs out? And the way to sacrifice is to place the eyes into two white jade bowls!"
Hear this.
The pupils of everyone in the archaeological team trembled!
Sacrifice your eyes?
Who is being sacrificed to?
Even the netizens in the live broadcast room felt that the development of the matter was a bit unexpected...
[Sacrificing eyes into a white jade bowl? This is something that can't even be broadcast, right? Wouldn't the livestream be shut down if this were to happen?]
[I don't understand...what's King Xing of Chu trying to accomplish by building an altar for eye sacrifices in this deep pit? Is there anything he can gain by sacrificing an eye?]
[Fight, fight... Guess who will selflessly sacrifice their eyes?]
[I guess what?! Selfless dedication? I'll dig out your eyes and sacrifice them in there!]
[I have a feeling something bad will happen if the hourglass runs out... Instead of just standing there staring blankly and not wanting to sacrifice their eyes, the archaeological team should retreat and wait for Brother Qin An!]
"That's right! The archaeological team can still climb out of this deep pit! So what if this area collapses?"
............
In a deep pit.
At this moment, everyone in the archaeological team also reacted!
There is no need for them to worry about whether to sacrifice their eyes or not... Anyway, the retreat route is not blocked, they can still climb out of the deep pit and retreat to the bottom of the dry well to wait for Brother Qin An.
"The hourglass is almost empty...why don't we go back to the top of the deep pit to avoid the limelight!" Jiang Liuli suggested.
The rest of the people had no objections either!
After exchanging glances.
Then he ran towards the dry well!
But at this moment.
In the three stone caves behind the altar... two crocodile-like creatures crawled out from the caves on the left and right. They surrounded the archaeological team from the left and right along the wall of the deep pit.
"Holy crap! There's something dirty!"
Gu Yang quickly moved the assault rifle on his back to his chest, then raised the assault rifle with both hands and began to aim and fire!
"Da da da da da da-"
At this moment, the archaeological team also saw the monsters coming towards them from both sides!
For a while.
Everyone gathered in the center of the deep pit and didn't dare to run forward.
Because the two monsters rushed in front of them at an extremely fast speed...the bullets shot by Gu Yang and Hawkeye could not break their scale armor defense at all, and could only slow down their speed.
"Old Gu! Hawkeye! The scales of these two guys are very strong! We can only use explosives!" Hu Jizhou opened the diamond umbrella and blocked the archaeological team.
Look from top to bottom.
The archaeological team's current formation is like a cone!
Gu Yang and Hawkeye looked at each other and both felt the seriousness of the problem, but they searched their bodies and could not find a grenade of suitable power. However, they had more powerful ones.
But the two were afraid of blowing up the deep pit!
Just when the archaeological team was at a loss.
A cold light flashed in the cave they came from, and then there was a "puff" sound, and a ferocious beast that was rushing towards them fell to the ground.
Everyone in the archaeological team took a closer look!
There was a shiny knife stuck in the head of the fallen beast! Wasn't this the knife that Brother Qin An usually used?
"Brother Qin An!"
For a while.
The morale of the archaeological team was greatly boosted!
The remaining ferocious beast, seeing its companions die tragically, no longer cared to bite the archaeological team in front of it... It flapped its short limbs and crawled towards the cave, wanting to return to its nest.
But how could Qin An tolerate letting the tiger go back to the mountains?
I saw his figure rushing out of the cave.
Then he jumped into the deep pit and ran to the dead beast at an extremely fast speed. He drew out the black gold ancient knife and threw it at the head of the fleeing beast!
"Pfft-"
The sound of the black gold ancient knife entering the flesh could be heard.
The ferocious beast that wanted to escape fell to the ground!
The whole set of movements can be described as flowing like water, and it is smooth and silky.
The archaeological team was about to gather around and ask where Brother Qin An had been, but Qin An raised his hand to interrupt them. He looked at Hu Jizhou and asked, "Old Hu! Do you still have the Zhuchen Pearl that Li Mengzhe took out from the Suobi Kingdom Tomb?"
Hear this.
Hu Jizhou was a little confused.
But he still quickly took out the Zhuchen Pearl from his backpack!
"Come stand in front of the altar!"
Qin An snatched the Zhuchen Pearl from Hu Jizhou's hand, and seeing that the sand on the hourglass was almost gone, he hurriedly called Hu Jizhou and Meng Yu to go to the altar.
Qin An first placed the Zhuochen Pearl in the white jade bowl filled with red liquid, and then took out two transparent eyeballs and placed them in the white jade bowl filled with white liquid.
After he has done all this.
The sand in the hourglass has just run out!
"Giggle-"
With the investment of the Zhuchen Pearl and eyeball!
A slight sound of gear transmission came from the center of the entire altar...
After a while.
"boom--"
A powerful shockwave erupted from the center of the altar, sending the archaeologists flying several meters away! A burst of intense white light blinded the archaeologists.
After the strong light gradually dissipated.
The figures of the archaeological team fell to the ground.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of people landing one after another rang out in the deep pit.
Before the archaeological team could react to what was happening, the tomb structure above their heads began to loosen, and large chunks of blue bricks and rocks fell from above!
