Chapter 2553: Eliminating Obstacles
Wang Lei originally wanted to stand firm, but he gradually realized something was wrong, because he stepped on the edge, and he couldn't control his balance even if he wanted to stand firm.
Just when he felt strange, Lin Ran grabbed his collar and pulled him straight.
Wang Lei was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. In the army, he had received hell training. He could stand on his feet just now, but he lost his balance. He realized that something was wrong.
"Behind you is the edge of the platform." Lin Ran said.
Wang Lei looked into the distance with an expression of distrust.
"But, the jade platform is over there..."
"Are you stupid? Weren't you standing next to the jade platform before? How could he suddenly run so far away?" Lin Ran said.
Although Wang Lei is not very smart, he is not stupid either.
Lin Ran's words were like stones thrown into water, causing him to wake up instantly.
Yes, I was just pushed to the ground by the lady just now, how could I be so far away!
"Lend me your dagger." Lin Ran said, "Now I am the only one who can clearly see the location of the Qingqiu Demon Fox."
Wang Lei stared at Lin Ran with suspicious eyes, and then glanced at his teammates fighting the zombies behind him.
Finally, he made up his mind, closed his eyes, turned the knife in a circle, and pointed the handle at Lin Ran.
"Take it, you better not lie to me, otherwise I will cut you into pieces!"
"Thank you for your kindness." Lin Ran smiled slightly, took the dagger, and then ran directly to the male corpse.
After getting the weapon, at this moment, Wang Lei from behind suddenly shouted.
His voice was full of fear!
Lin Ran looked back and saw that the male corpse had sat up from the bed at some point.
Under the mask, Lin Ran saw those deep eyes.
It was no longer pitch black, but flashing green light, beating like a will-o'-the-wisp in the darkness.
But when he looked at Lin Ran, their eyes met, but the other person was not affected at all.
There was a bit of confusion in its eyes, but its body sat stiffly.
Lin Ran also felt a little creepy. The corpse actually sat up. Shouldn't he be affected by hallucinations?
However, he originally wanted to get rid of the Qingqiu Demon Fox.
This beast actually dared to get up, which gave him the opportunity to kill him.
Lin Ran's eyes turned cold, he grabbed the dagger, and a murderous intention arose spontaneously.
Lin Ran rushed forward with a lunge. Lin Ran also had the habit of exercising, and this step was very fast!
He stabbed directly at the corpse on the stone bed. The corpse seemed to be restrained. Before he could dodge, Lin Ran stabbed him directly through the eyes and directly penetrated the head.
And in the process, another eyeball fell to the ground.
When Lin Ran saw those eyes, he suddenly remembered something.
Could the monster they encountered in the tree hole be just an illusion?
Only now did he remember that the demon fox, like the snake chrysalis he encountered before, created illusions through its eyes. As long as the eyes were not destroyed, it could continue to create illusions.
He just cut off the demon fox's head before, but didn't destroy its eyes!
This may be the key.
Sure enough, it was almost as he guessed. After the eyes fell out of their sockets, they rolled towards the edge of the platform as if they were alive.
"Want to run away!?" Lin Ran's eyes became even colder. They had suffered a lot because of the demon fox before, and even Wang Jinpeng...
Thinking of this, Lin Ran didn't give him a chance to dodge. He quickly rushed forward and stepped on the eyeball.
There was a "click" and the eyeball was crushed.
In this way, the illusion created by the demon fox will disappear.
Lin Ran turned around to look at the other people. Most of them were confused. They were originally fighting the zombies, but now they were standing there, with a feeling of confusion as they drew their swords and looked around.
The demon fox now doesn't even have an eyeball left, and can no longer create terrifying illusions.
Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?!" Meng Xing looked at Lin Ran. They were all fighting with zombies just now. Everyone was too distracted to take care of themselves. Only Lin Ran was standing by.
And suddenly, all the zombies disappeared, and Meng Xing naturally knew that the problem lay with the man who called himself Wang Jinpeng.
"I killed the Qingqiu Demon Fox, so the hallucination was lifted." Lin Ran pointed to the jade bed with a smile. The male corpse that had been sitting up was now lying back on the bed, and he no longer felt as at ease as before. , a bloody hole appeared on his forehead, with a short knife inserted.
Lin Ran pulled out the knife from above and handed it to Wang Lei: "Thank you for the knife."
"Uh." Wang Lei shrank his hand, and he was even a little afraid of the knife.
Because this knife was obviously pulled out from a man's head, but there was no blood or brain on the knife, it was exactly the same as before.
"It's okay. This is just a mummy. The blood and body fluids inside have long since drained away." Lin Ran smiled.
"Okay." Wang Lei still felt a little weird. Anyway, he brought a lot of knives, so he didn't want to take this one. He took out the scabbard and handed it to Lin Ran: "See, you're not self-defense." I’ll give you the weapon.”
Lin Ran was a little surprised, but he really needed a weapon now, so he didn't refuse. Instead, he cupped his fists to express his gratitude, then inserted the knife into the scabbard and put it on his waist.
Meng Xing looked at Lin Ran in confusion. He did know how to deal with the dangers in this ancient tomb.
And what's with that strange familiarity about him?
As for the other people, they also had surprised looks in their eyes.
Because all their attention was attracted by the zombies just now, and only Lin Ran stood calmly on the spot, they suspected that something was wrong with Lin Ran.
Fang Yuan stood there, looking at Lin Ran's fingers thoughtfully.
After the hallucination crisis was resolved, Lin Ran prepared for the next step of exploration.
But this time, he did not find the key from the male corpse's mouth. Instead, he hid it in the female corpse's mouth.
Lin Ran thought to himself that he had already killed the Qingqiu Demon Fox, so he shouldn't encounter too dangerous a situation.
People also returned to the jade platform and carefully observed the two corpses.
"Is this a demon fox or a human?" Wang Lei looked at the two corpses with lingering fear. No matter how they looked, they looked like ordinary human corpses. However, both Lin Ran and Meng Xing called them Qingqiu Demon Fox.
"He was originally a human, but he was possessed by a demon fox. It can be understood that way." Lin Ran explained lightly.
He checked the mouth of the male corpse, where a copper key should have been hidden, but found nothing.
So he began to examine the female corpse next to him, and sure enough he found something in its mouth. He pinched its cheeks with his hands and asked it to open its mouth.
Except for Meng Xing and Xu Yun, everyone else frowned. No matter how courageous they were, they would not dare to do such a thing to a corpse.
Lin Ran even put on gloves and inserted his fingers into the female corpse's mouth.
After careful inspection, it was found that there was a hard object in the throat of the female corpse.
He was about to reach out and take it out when he suddenly remembered something and stopped what he was doing.
He vaguely remembered that when he took out the bronze key earlier, he also encountered a mechanism.
It was now the second week, and it was impossible for Lin Ran to make the same mistake. He put the female corpse back on the bed and groped its throat with his hands.
"What are you doing?" Wang Lei looked at Lin Ran with some disgust. The other person was not a forensic doctor, so it seemed a bit perverted to do this kind of behavior.
Not only did Lin Ran ignore him, but he got even closer, and then he almost looked at the female corpse's chest and towards her throat. This action made the people in Meng Xing's team feel very uncomfortable, thinking that Lin Ran was taking advantage. Although this female corpse It can be seen that she was a stunning beauty in life, but now she is just a mummy, and she still behaves like this, which is simply shameful.
Meng Xing was about to remind Lin Ran, but Lin Ran stood up straight and explained the specific situation to everyone.
"There is a key in the neck of the female corpse, but it is connected to a mechanism. If the object from the female corpse's throat is taken out directly, the mechanism will be triggered."
