Chapter 572 Danger Surrounded
at this time.
Suddenly, the eight stone statues of wild beasts in the tomb all turned around and faced Qin An... The wicks of the eight oil lamps hanging on the eight stone walls flickered! The dim yellow light shone on the eight stone statues of wild beasts, as if they had come to life.
The tomb was filled with a somber atmosphere!
Until then.
Qin An then realized... the eight beast statues in the tomb chamber seemed to be the same ferocious beasts from the mural depicting Chi You battling the wild beasts in the outer passage!
While reminiscing.
The tiger statue, which was originally located due west, suddenly moved!
"Boom bang bang-"
Accompanied by the sounds of drums and music emanating from all around the tomb... the tiger statue, like an ancient chariot, crashed into Qin An's back at an extremely high speed.
If you get hit by this, you'll break at least two bones!
Fortunately, Qin An could sense the killing intent.
He jumped up and spun around in mid-air before landing steadily after the tiger statue had charged past.
"Puff-"
however.
Before Qin An could even catch his breath after landing!
A series of whooshing sounds filled the air.
It turned out that the eight beast statues were shooting out long, thin silver needles from their mouths one after another. These needles were shooting out at extremely high speeds, and the light in the tomb was very dim.
Therefore, even with Qin An's keen eyesight, he could not detect the flight trajectory of these silver needles.
"You little brat! You've never seen a numerical monster before, have you?"
Since there's no way to avoid it.
So Qin An simply stopped hiding!
He directly sheathed the Black Gold Ancient Sword back into its scabbard on his back, then stood in the center of the tomb and activated his max-level Indestructible Body.
For a while.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"
The clanging of metal echoed like a symphony in the tomb chamber. Apart from leaving tiny holes in Qin An's clothes, the silver needles posed no threat to him.
that's it.
The silver needle mechanism continued for two or three minutes before gradually disappearing!
After standing there for another ten seconds or so.
They confirmed that no more silver needles were shooting out of the mouths of the stone statues.
Qin An slowly opened his eyes.
He looked down at the silver needles scattered all around him! He thought to himself that it was a good thing he came alone to scout ahead; if he had brought the archaeological team with him... the others would definitely have been shot into pincushions.
To prevent other mechanisms from lurking within these beast statues, Qin An decided to destroy them all!
But before that...
"System, how many science points do I need to repair my clothes?" Qin An asked in his mind.
[Ding! Only 300 science points required!]
This price is a bit high.
But this is inside the tomb.
Qin An's clothes had long been riddled with countless silver needles, turning them into Syrian war-damaged versions. Although the price was a bit high, he had no choice but to accept it.
Qin An nodded.
The system then deducted 300 science popularization points.
Qin An's clothes were restored to their original state, and all the needle marks left earlier had disappeared.
After closing the system panel.
Qin An then drew his black gold ancient sword and stepped forward, chopping the eight beast statues into pieces one by one.
And indeed, things turned out exactly as Qin An had predicted!
Inside these beast statues, there are still many silver needles, as well as some other mechanisms. In front of the silver needles is a power-charging launch device from which these mechanisms will launch in a queue.
After all the stone statues were destroyed.
Qin An was about to use the Black Gold Ancient Blade to forcefully break through the wall in order to destroy the device behind the wall that was emitting the drumming sound, but at this moment, his previously dormant killing intent sensed a dangerous aura behind him!
No!
Again?
Damn, how many traps are in this tomb?
Qin An initially thought that the filthy creatures in the eight stone coffins had risen from the dead, but when he turned around, he found no filthy creatures jumping out of the stone coffins.
Even the giant panda that was seen when the coffin was opened earlier was lying perfectly intact in the stone coffin, without making the slightest noise.
Where did this killing intent come from?
Is it not in front of you?
That could only be... Qin An slowly raised his head to look at the sky above him, and suddenly, his pupils dilated!
Two women were found pasted on the ceiling of the tomb!
"Why did it take me so long to realize this?" Qin An frowned as he looked at the two women.
at this time.
The two women began to freefall and fall.
Qin An originally thought the two women would fall straight to the ground, but to his surprise, they turned around in mid-air and then drew two iron swords from their long sleeves.
With lightning speed, it stabbed at Qin An's face.
Qin An dodged to the left with a somersault.
The woman in red missed her target.
The sword tip grazed the ground where Qin An had stood, sparking a series of flashes. The woman in blue clothing pursued closely behind, turning around and thrusting at Qin An's face again.
Qin An raised his black gold ancient sword to parry the attack.
He then retreated three or five steps.
Until then.
Qin An finally saw through the two women. They were both beautiful, but their exposed skin had some cracks, and each of their joints was tied with a rope, which made a "clucking" sound when they moved.
Qin An asked in shock, "A puppet?"
If the person on the other end is alive.
He might even exchange a few pointless words with Qin An.
Unfortunately, the other side is an inanimate object.
"Giggle-"
It was accompanied by a cracking sound from the joints.
The puppet dressed in red emitted a series of cracking sounds from its neck, then it brandished two long swords and charged at Qin An in a left-right attack stance.
Qin An raised his hand to block!
He then forcefully pushed aside the long sword in the red-clad puppet's hand, intending to slice off her head with the blade, but to his surprise, the puppet's head separated automatically!
The black gold ancient sword sliced straight through the gap between her head and neck.
After the Black Gold Ancient Sword was taken away.
The female puppet's head was put back on, looking fresh and clean!
This time.
Qin An finally understood what that sentence meant.
"Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living!"
Qin An's attack failed, leaving him vulnerable to attacks from both sides. The puppet dressed in blue had somehow managed to get behind him.
The longsword in his hand pierced straight down!
The full-force strike seemed poised to pierce Qin An's skull!
Damn it!
This woman is so ruthless?
Don't let me catch you!
If I catch you, I'll tear you to pieces!
Qin An knew the principle that a wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him, so he directly entered the living space.
"Dangdang——"
The longswords in the hands of the two female puppets pierced straight into the ground.
As Qin An's figure vanished into thin air within the tomb chamber, the two female puppets seemed to have lost their target of hatred.
He just stood there, stunned and motionless.
They didn't even pull the longsword stuck in the ground out!
