Tomb Robbery: Successor to the King, starting in Yunnan Worm Valley

Chapter 488 Qilin Locked Dragon
  Not only is the flame bright, but the burning time is very long.

It's not something that ordinary fireworks and firecrackers can compare to.

With the help of the flying dove, everyone finally got a clear view of the space at the bottom of this huge bottle.

I saw that the top of the space was a large piece of ferocious rock.

There are many gaps in these rocks.

Inside the gaps are dark red rust mixed with copper-green.

It has obviously been invaded by the Nine Death Jingling Armor.

Many rocks are making dull sounds.

There are clearly signs of further collapse.

In the space below, jade bis and sarcophagi are exposed in many places.

And there are some shadowy things moving.

These so-called "corpse fairies" looked very ominous and strange. Hu Bayi, Shirley, Yang Wang, Fatty and others were stunned for a while.

The timid girl turned her face away directly.

At this moment, there was another loud rumbling sound from the top of the rock.

It was probably the Jiushi Jingling Armor's Zaishipo rock formation. Many stones fell from above and hit the ground, stirring up countless smoke and dust.

Several people quickly covered their mouths and noses with cloth.

At the same time, his face darkened a bit.

The Queen Mother is in danger. If the stone just hit someone, it would basically turn into a meat pie.

Wang Ye relied on the light of the flaming dove and used his eagle eyes and night vision to quickly see clearly what was going on at the end of the plank road.

There were actually several extremely tall tomb beasts on the roadside.

These tomb-suppressing beasts are somewhat similar to those dug out from the Feng family's old house in Qingxi Town when everyone first saw them.

However, it is much larger.

Any one of them is two or three meters high.

And the materials are all made of wrought iron.

It also has scales on its body and horns on its head. It doesn't look like an ox or a dragon.

It looks a bit like a unicorn.

But the unicorn is antlers, which are curved and sharp horns.

It looks scary.

Professor Sun also saw these black iron guys.

"These are iron unicorns."

Wang Ye frowned slightly. They were indeed unicorns, but these unicorns were not very authentic. They did not look like auspicious beasts at all. Instead, they looked particularly evil.

It turns out that these iron unicorns are not ordinary tomb-suppressing beasts, but a kind of lighting equipment in the underground palace of the emperor's tomb.

The reason is also very simple. Ordinary rich people or dignitaries cannot afford to play with such a large iron tomb beast.

Only the royal family has this strength.

This thing is hollow inside and contains a special dye.

It is different from the Wannian lantern in the Tomb of King Xian in Yunnan Worm Valley.

The Ten Thousand Years Lamp is made from the South China Sea shark's grease. Once lit, it can last for a long time without going out.

This long time is measured in thousands of years.

But the light of that perpetual lamp is very dim.

It's a bit dimmer than the light of a normal candle.

Although it takes a long time to ignite, the lighting effect is actually very weak.

It's just a little light in the tomb. It's pretty good if it can illuminate the ten thousand year lamp. It's very perfunctory.

But the iron unicorn in the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum, also called the unicorn locking dragon lantern, is different.

After the lamp inside is lit, eight hundred pieces of kerosene burn to produce light.

The fire is very bright, enough for roasting meat.

The long burning time depends entirely on quantity. Thousands of kilograms of kerosene can be placed in a Kirin Lock Dragon Lantern.

And this thing can slowly extinguish itself when it is not needed. The heat generated by the flame will drive the mechanism inside, slowly shut off the supply of kerosene, and isolate the flame.

There is a fixed time limit for burning once, and then it will extinguish on its own.

Next time you light a cigarette, you need to understand this mechanism. If you operate it correctly, it is like a lighter and can be easily lit.

Because the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum is different from other tombs, sometimes, there is really a need to open an underground palace.

The main reason is to be buried with other people.

Especially in ancient times, the life span of women was longer than that of men. Sometimes the queen mother would die after the late emperor.

After many years, the old queen mother passed away and she had to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. To accompany the late emperor, it was natural to reopen the underground palace and bury the queen mother there again.

This is when these Kirin Lock Dragon Lanterns come in handy.

But the lighting method of these unicorn lock dragon lanterns has been lost.

This thing can only be ignited by its own mechanism.

If brute force is used, such as using a gun to make a few holes in the top, or breaking the oil tank for lamp oil and lighting it again, it is equivalent to setting fire.

It immediately set the whole thing on fire.

Not to mention that the oil cylinder inside the Kirin Lock Dragon Lantern is very well protected.

It is really not an easy task to cut open the oil cylinder.

But since it is an agency, it is not difficult for Wang Ye.

Ever since Wang Ye acquired the Mohist mechanism technique, he has been very interested in the mechanisms in the ancient tomb.

Now that I have encountered the Kirin Lock Dragon Lantern, I need to practice hard.

Soon Wang Ye walked to the side of the Qilin Lock Dragon Lantern, reached out and took out the Star-Shattering Sword.

He struck the huge black iron unicorn several times with the back of his sword.

Tie Qilin made a dull sound, obviously there was something inside.

Wang Ye put his ear next to the Qilin Locking Dragon Lantern, and used the sound of tapping to use the skill of listening to thunder to identify acupoints.

Soon the entire three-dimensional structure of the Kirin Lock Dragon Lantern appeared in Wang Ye's mind.

Then, just like solving a math problem, Wang Ye quickly found the key to the mechanism.

He reached out and groped around Tie Qilin's head.

Soon I found a big iron ring on Qilin's nose.

Wang Ye's mouth twitched slightly, and he said he was not a cow...

Then use both hands to pull out the nose ring.

There was a burst of metal friction, and the mechanism started to operate.

Tie Qilin's stomach also made a clicking sound, and soon bursts of fire began to shine through the gaps in the scales on Tie Qilin's body.

It felt like some kind of ignition device was being turned on.

All limbs of the Qilin Suolong Lantern were buried in his younger brother.

Moreover, there are ditch-like pipes connecting the limbs of different iron unicorns, which actually contain kerosene.

The first Tie Qilin's body burst into flames.

The light of the flames rose with a puff of smoke.

The fire suddenly illuminated the surroundings.

Soon the fire oil in the second Tie Qilin's body was also ignited.

One after another, the flames extended all the way to the depths.

King Hu Bayi, Fatty Shirley, Yang and Mo Meier were all dumbfounded.

In this huge space, there are actually forty or fifty huge Qilin Locking Dragon Lanterns.

These unicorn lock dragon lanterns were all good, and they were all ignited by Wang Ye's operation.

The firelight illuminated the originally very dark cave.

It's just that the kerosene inside the Kirin Lock Dragon Lantern is obviously mixed with some phosphorus powder or other materials.

It should lower the ignition point and slow down the burning speed.

The side effect is that the light of the flame is a bit greenish.
