Chapter 273 The Red Hou fell asleep as soon as it lay down.
To allow the air inside to fill more quickly, Cheng Feng summoned a strong gust of wind to blow into it.
After confirming that there would be no oxygen deficiency, Cheng Feng spoke:
"That's enough, let's go."
After saying that, Cheng Feng led the way into the iron gate that had appeared on its own.
The four women quickly followed, using their flashlights to illuminate the path for Cheng Feng.
As Cheng Feng and the four women stepped through the iron gate, the altar outside, which Cheng Feng had removed from Suled, began to rotate again.
Cheng Feng, inside the gate, turned around and saw the iron gate slowly closing under the action of the mechanism.
As you can see, the inside of the iron gate is smooth and flat, and the gap is almost invisible when it is closed.
"If this were an ordinary tomb raider, their trip would likely be doomed; there's virtually no chance of opening this iron gate from the inside."
Chen Wenjin shook his head and sighed as he looked at the closed iron gate in front of him.
The iron gate is at least thirty centimeters thick; even with explosives, it wouldn't be effective. Not only would it fail to be blown open, but it would also be impossible to breach it.
There's also a real possibility that they'll bury themselves alive.
"Who cares? They can't keep us here anyway. When we leave, the boss will even take the door with him."
Huo Ling wasn't worried at all. After speaking, she turned on her flashlight and looked around.
Then she was stunned by the scene inside the iron gate.
Terracotta Army!
Within the beam of the flashlight, two Mongol cavalrymen stood side by side, their craftsmanship resembling that of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.
However, compared to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, it lacks some of the solemnity and grandeur, but possesses more of the boldness and wildness of the grasslands.
To take care of the four women, Cheng Feng took out a flare from the imaginary space.
After igniting it, he casually threw it far away.
Soon, light shone, illuminating the entire tomb chamber.
From where Cheng Feng and his group were, they could only see a row of terracotta cavalry figures in front of them, as they were too tall and blocked their view.
"Shall we find a sturdy spot, climb up, and check the situation?"
At this moment, Yang Xueli spoke up and made a suggestion.
Cheng Feng smiled and shook his head, saying:
"Why go through all that trouble!"
Then, amidst Yang Xueli's frustrated expression, Cheng Feng opened his Boundless Demon Eyes, and the terracotta figures in front of him began to disappear one by one.
A few minutes later, the entire tomb chamber was revealed to them.
The space here is several thousand square meters, and directly opposite the iron gate is a row of stone pillars that are more than ten meters high and extend straight up.
The stone pillars that were originally lined with terracotta figurines of various shapes are now empty.
Led by Cheng Feng, the group walked forward through the empty tomb chamber.
The four women following behind Cheng Feng looked around to see if there were any other passages or entrances.
However, even after the group reached the innermost part, they did not see any other entrances or exits.
Unlike the walls on either side in front, there was a huge mural on the wall directly opposite them at the back.
Next to the mural, there is also a text written in Mongolian.
Below this wall is an arched doorway, and nothing else.
"It's a pity Professor Wang couldn't come along; if he were, he would know what these Mongolian texts record."
After examining the murals and Mongolian script on the walls, Cheng Feng said softly.
The mural has no special significance; it is simply a record of Genghis Khan's achievements in defeating his enemies.
Cheng Feng was still somewhat concerned about the text beside it, as it might contain information about the tomb.
At this moment, a pair of eyes filled with ferocity and resentment looked at Cheng Feng and his group from inside the arched doorway.
Cheng Feng, who was talking to the four women, suddenly turned his head to look at the archway.
Before she could dodge, her venomous gaze met Cheng Feng's in a deep, intense eye contact.
Upon realizing they had been discovered, the person whose gaze was directed did not flinch, but moved from the darkness into the area enveloped in light.
Only then did the four women realize the abnormality, and at the same time they saw what had been hidden inside the archway.
This creature resembles a dog, covered in thick red fur, and is about the size of a yellow cow. Only a pair of gray-black eyes protrude from its fur.
Its hind limbs are thick with short, not very sharp claws, while its forelimbs are slightly thinner but have sharp claws.
Roar
Suddenly, the fur on the creature's head bristled, and it roared, revealing a huge mouth filled with blackened, sharp teeth.
"Hiss~ What kind of monster is this? It looks so scary!"
Huo Ling couldn't help but draw her gun. Although she might not need it, having it in her hand made her feel much more at ease.
Then Yang Xueli answered her questions:
"Legend has it that in the Mongolian region there is a monster called the Red Hou, which resembles a dog and has red fur."
These things all match up.
As soon as Yang Xueli finished speaking, the Red Hou seemed to see an opening, and its powerful hind legs suddenly kicked out.
It rushed towards Ah Xiang, who was leaning against Huo Ling, at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
The three women saw it, but their bodies didn't have time to react.
Just then, Cheng Feng instantly brought all four women into the imaginary space.
At the same time, he leaped back several meters, causing the red beast to land and miss its target.
After landing, the red beast didn't linger. It merely skimmed the ground like a dragonfly touching the water before rushing towards Cheng Feng, who was a few meters away, without any hesitation.
The speed that Honghou was so proud of meant nothing to Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng raised his foot and delivered a powerful side kick, striking the red beast squarely on the head.
The powerful force instantly shattered the Red Hou's head into pieces, like a watermelon smashed by an iron rod, leaving a mess of liquid on the ground.
The remaining body of the red beast slammed into the stone pillar behind Cheng Feng due to inertia.
Finally, it twisted into a bizarre posture and fell asleep on the spot, seemingly without any direction.
'Ding~'
The mission to eliminate the Red Hou has been completed.
Reward: Vermilion Fruit
Do you wish to collect it?
"Claim the Vermilion Fruit; other rewards will be held for now."
Cheng Feng hasn't claimed the rewards he received when he went to Gutongjing yet; none of them are things he'll need anytime soon.
So he just left it in the system for now, but since Zhu Guo Cheng Feng could use it right away, he immediately took it out.
'Rewards have been issued'
With the system notification, a red fruit the size of a longan appeared in Cheng Feng's hand.
The fruit's red color is crystal clear, resembling a piece of glass-like red jade, and it also emits a unique fragrance.
It significantly suppressed the stench emanating from the red beast.
"Even in death, it's disgusting!"
Filled with disdain, Cheng Feng rubbed his fingers together, igniting a wisp of inextinguishable dragon fire.
He then burned the Red Hou's corpse to ashes, but even so, he still frowned deeply.
It was entirely because tiny red hairs were floating everywhere in the air.
This is why Cheng Feng immediately took the four women into the imaginary space.
According to the secret techniques of moving mountains, the most terrifying aspect of the Red Hou is not its claws and teeth.
It was its red fur that was the most striking feature.
Every single red hair flying everywhere is highly poisonous.
Once it gets on a person's skin, it will cause that area of skin to ulcerate rapidly.
If it gets inhaled through the nasal cavity, the person is beyond saving, as the body will decompose rapidly along the route from the nasal cavity to the lungs.
Cheng Feng casually tossed the Vermilion Fruit into his mouth, savoring its flavor as he walked toward the archway from which the Red Hou had emerged.
If we disregard the possibility of hidden doors, that is the most likely place to lead to other burial chambers.
"What a wonderful taste, it's like eating nature itself."
The taste of the red fruit is hard to describe using existing terms like sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. If I had to describe it, it would be like the fresh scent of a rainforest in the early morning.
After eating the vermilion fruit, Cheng Feng walked into the archway.
The space inside was rather low and long, with a ravine more than four meters deep running across Cheng Feng's front.
The ravine is seven or eight meters wide and several tens of meters long, filled with countless skeletons—cattle, sheep, humans, and wild animals.
Cheng Feng also saw a small nest made up of soft, rotten corpses, with red hair everywhere inside.
"Damn it, these shoes are no good!"
Thinking that he would change his shoes later, Cheng Feng looked across at the other side.
As expected, on the other side of the corpse channel was another iron gate exactly the same as the previous one.
