Chapter 42: Grave Below, Snake Mountain Above

  "A very familiar feeling... I feel like I've been here before..."

  Wen Baiyu listened to his words and was somewhat puzzled. Had Wan Kuang Jing Hou fought in this arena before, and was the thief's den also dug by him?

  But if the thief's hole was dug by him, it doesn't make sense that Wan Jie Jing Hou only remembers this fight and not that thief's hole.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him strangely for a few moments, only to see Wan Jijinghou walk to the edge of the huge stone gate, then raise his hand and gently stroke the door, as if searching for something.

  Suddenly, his hand stopped moving, and his face changed color. He pressed down on the palm of his hand with force, and a crisp "click" sound was heard. On the door, there was actually a hidden panel, but because the tomb door was carved so vividly, not a single seam or trace could be seen.

  As Wan Xizong pressed the mechanism, the stone gate rumbled open, revealing a long passageway inside. The passageway was still round at the top and square at the bottom, with intricate carvings that seemed to come alive. On both sides of the passageway stood two rows of stone statues, lined up in sequence.

  Wen Baiyu exclaimed, "Ah!", and said: "Is there a living person inside?"

  They walked in, Tangzi went forward to take a look, and then raised his hand to touch and knock on the stone, saying with doubt: "It's hollow, there's nothing inside... According to this large-scale tomb, it should be above the marquis-level tomb or even the emperor's tomb. There should be sacrifices in the tomb, but it's empty here."

  "This is normal, right? If nothing's wrong, then pouring a layer of cement on a living person to bury them alive is just too barbaric."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou listened to him say this, turned his head and looked at him for a moment, saying: "Let's go."

  They walked along the passage, this time without a maze of returning words. A thoroughfare led all the way to the bottom, and in front of them appeared something similar to a corridor with balustrades on both sides, a canopy in the middle, and bricks on the ground that were quite strange, divided into black and white colors, which would be mistaken for a chessboard if one didn't know.

  "What is this thing?"

  Wan Ji Jing Hou said: "This is a trap floorboard, only one color can be stepped on, otherwise it will trigger the mechanism."

  "What color is it stepping on?"

  Tangzi smiled and said: "Try it once and you'll know."

  He said, taking out an empty bottle and tossing it out with his hand.

  Just as he threw it out for a moment, Wan Zong Jing Hou suddenly said, "White."

  All that was seen was an empty bottle falling to the ground, just landing on a black brick, and then hearing "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds, crossbow bolts/arrows shot out from all sides, metal thorns also appeared on the black bricks, and the empty bottle on the ground instantly shattered.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Bai Yu looked at the bottle on the ground in surprise, and then looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou in surprise again. She didn't expect that Wan Qi Jing Hou would guess correctly, and could only nod her head in agreement.

  Everyone stepped on the white bricks one by one and walked in, the passage was very long, the bricks were not big, and walking a lot was quite tiring. Everyone carefully looked down at their feet and said that even if they were experts, it would be difficult to escape alive in this kind of mechanism with dangers lurking everywhere, so everyone was extra careful.

  They walked over and entered a stone chamber. The door of the stone chamber was open, with many coffins placed inside, row upon row, very majestic.

  Wen Baiyu shuddered, this stone chamber was so large that there were at least thirty or more coffins.

  The stone chamber seemed to have been visited before, probably by those grave robbers. The stone chamber was turned upside down, and many coffin lids were open. Wen Baiyu plucked up the courage to take a peek, and exclaimed in surprise: "Empty?"

  He looked at other coffins as well, and they were also empty.

  Yu Wenyang said: "Those grave robbers won't even spare the dead?"

  Tang said: "Looking at the tomb's appearance, it should be from the Warring States period or even earlier. If there is really a corpse in the coffin, that would be a treasure."

  Wan Qi Jinghou suddenly said: "No, all the coffins here are empty, there is no corpse at all."

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "No corpses? What's the use of putting so many empty coffins?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou just shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I'm sure there's no corpse inside. You can open it and take a look."

  Tang Zi and Yu Wei Yang also found it strange, so they decided to open a coffin to take a look.

  Tang Zi took the military knife, pried open the edge of the coffin, and then drew a circle along the seam of the coffin lid, frowning: "Not sealed, no nails."

  He said, stretched out his hand and with a light effort, he flipped open the coffin lid.

  Everyone looked in and indeed there was no one inside; it was empty with nothing at all!

  Tang Ziyu opened two more coffins, which were also empty. The remaining coffins didn't need to be checked anymore. This time they believed him, but Wen Baiyu was even more puzzled. Wan Kuang Jinghou seemed very familiar with this fight, as if he had really been there before, but looking at him like that, he couldn't remember it.

  They walked out of the stone chamber and into the passageway, which seemed somewhat unusual this time. The dome still depicted the sun, moon and stars, but these dense stars actually formed a flowing Milky Way, looking magnificent and dazzling. The Milky Way flowed quietly in the transparent cover plate on the dome.

  On both sides of the corridor are various murals carved with gems, which look stunning under the glow of the galaxy.

  Wen Baiyu raised his head and sighed, saying: "The wisdom of the ancients is indeed not to be underestimated. What is this on top? It looks really good."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou also looked up and said: "It's mercury sealed inside."

  "Wen Baiyu was shocked and said: 'Mercury? Isn't that highly toxic?'"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said, "There must be a problem with the murals on both sides. If greedy grave robbers touch the murals, they may open the switch that seals the dome, causing mercury to pour out and burying the grave robbers alive."

  Something deadly was hanging over her head, and the feeling made her blood run cold. Wen Baiyu hastily lowered her head and didn't dare to open her mouth again. Earlier, she had been looking up with her mouth agape; what if some mercury had dripped down? Now that she thought about it, she felt a lingering fear!

  They continued walking in, and Wen Baiyu suddenly turned her head back for a glance.

  Yu Wei Yang looked at him quickly turning back and said: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Nothing, just feel like someone is watching us."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  Yu Wei Yang shivered and said: "We're in a tomb, can't you be less scary?"

  Wen Baiyu shrugged and continued to follow Wan Jinhou forward.

  Not far away, Wen Baiyu suddenly turned back, and Yu Wenyang was startled, saying: "What's wrong again?"

  Wen Baiyu stood firm this time, turned his head and said: "I always feel that there are eyes watching us from afar."

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Are you scared from watching too many horror movies? Who has eyes like that?"

  Wen Baiyu was about to turn around and continue walking when he suddenly saw something glowing in the depths of the tomb path behind him.

  Wen Baiyu was shocked and shouted: "There really are eyes!"

  Yu Wei Yang turned back to look, and indeed it was true. In the depths of the tomb path they had walked through, a pitch-black darkness loomed, and in the midst of that darkness, a pair of eyes were staring at them. The color of those eyes was very strange, not like human eye color.

  Yu Wei Yang was startled and immediately saw a second pair of eyes.

  In the dark tomb passage, another pair of eyes appeared, and then another...

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud "ah" and exclaimed: "It's moving!"

  Just as he was shouting, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly said: "Be careful!"

  They saw eyes that were far away from them suddenly flying forward, and then they heard a "whooshing" sound. Something was tied to Wen Baiyu's wrist.

  Wen Baiyu lowered her head and took a look, it was actually hair!

  Disheveled black hair, as if it hadn't been washed for hundreds of years, slowly shrunk back, Wen Baiyu's face turned pale in an instant, feeling like her hands were going to be crippled.

  "Whoosh!"

  Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly chopped off the hair on Wen Bai Yu's wrist, and Wen Bai Yu stumbled backward several steps before being caught by Wan Jie Jing Hou.

  "Wen Baiyu panted heavily and said: "Is... is the head of those female corpses!? They actually followed us into this tomb?!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded, and in the darkness, more and more eyes appeared, slowly gathering together.

  "Whoosh!"

  Another black-haired man rolled over, Wen Baiyu's heart burst out a curse word, quickly rolled on the ground, then reached into his pocket and grabbed the Phoenix Bone Dagger, immediately meeting the incoming head with a blow.

  That head was cut by a sharp blade, and the hair that had rolled over was suddenly severed, floating to the ground. The female corpse's skull let out a shrill scream, which scared Wen Baiyu so much that he shuddered.

  The skull fell to the ground with a "crack", black messy hair covering her face, a pair of eyes wide open, faintly visible behind the hair, a blood stain from the right eye to the mouth, her mouth agape, revealing rotten teeth inside, she convulsed on the ground for a moment, then stopped moving.

  Wen Baiyu was startled by Tang Zi's expression and took a few steps back. At this time, Tang Zi pushed Yu Wei Yang forward, pushing him to Wen Baiyu's side, saying: "You two go first."

  Those skulls, due to Wen Baiyu's strike or the miserable cry of "companion", were somewhat intimidated and did not dare to rush forward. They only surrounded them from one side, sometimes approaching and retreating, forming a black semicircle that continuously contracted.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Let's retreat slowly, they seem to be afraid of catching up."

  Wan Qi Jinghou shook his head and said, "There is mercury on the road we came from. If these heads touch the mechanism, the mercury will spill, and we'll all die here."

  He finished speaking and slightly tilted his head towards Wen Baiyu, saying: "You go first, there's a stone room to the left up ahead, we'll wait for you there."

  Wen Baiyu heard him say this and didn't want to stay any longer. She grabbed Ruyu Yang's hand and said, "Let's go quickly."

  Yu Wei Yang still had some hesitation, but was caught by Wen Bai Yu and followed him running forward.

  They ran on, and the skulls behind them began to stir, with a hint of attacking momentum.

  Two people ran forward, Yu Rong Yang said: "Can they hold on? So many heads!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "This should be okay..."

  He said that, and then heard a faint "click" sound. Yu Wei Yang suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his whole body stiffened up, his eyes wide with terror. He then lowered his head and said: "I... I may have stepped on the switch."

  Wen Baiyu also heard the sound and stared at Yu Yang's feet, it was indeed a movable stone slab.

  Wen Baiyu immediately reached out and said: "Quickly grab my hand."

  Yu Wei Yang also stretched out his hand, tightly grasping Wen Bai Yu's hand, and then slowly lifted his foot up, only to feel Wen Bai Yu pulling himself forward with a sudden force.

  The stone slab was stepped on, but instead of a mechanism triggering, a trapdoor suddenly swung open with a loud "click". Wen Baiyu happened to be standing at the edge of the trapdoor and Yu Wenyang, who had rushed forward, found himself stepping into thin air without any foothold. In an instant, he plummeted downwards, only to be yanked back by Wen Baiyu, left dangling in mid-air with a loud "thud".

  Wen Baiyu grasped Ruyu Yang's hand tightly and looked down, saying: "My mom, it's too deep down there."

  Yu Wei Yang was so frightened by his words that her whole body trembled, and she felt as if the arm he grasped would break off, her entire person suspended in mid-air.

  Wen Baiyu gritted his teeth, he lay on the edge of the skateboard, feeling himself slowly sliding down along with the skateboard, and was about to fall off together with Yu Yang.

  At this moment, Wen Baiyu suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the front, Yu Wei Yang didn't know what he was looking at, but his expression made Yu Wei Yang's goosebumps all over, saying: "Wh...what's wrong?!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "A head... another one has come!"

  Yu Wei Yang gritted his teeth and said: "Let go! After all, it was my foot that stepped on the brake, it's better than everyone falling down together, hurry up and let go!"

  Wen Baiyu simply lifted her head in terror, looking at the person rolling over from a distance. The face of that person had scars, apparently it was Wan Kuangjinghou and Tang Zitong who were injured behind, but she became a fish that escaped the net and came over.

  A woman's face revealed a sly smile, her black hair suddenly stretched out with a "whoosh" sound, instantly wrapping around Wen Baiyu's face.

  Wen Baiyu subconsciously lowered her head and suddenly let out a loud "ah" as she slipped and fell, sliding down the skateboard.

  Wen Baiyu only felt a sense of weightlessness, his hand still tightly grasping Yu Yang's hand, the two people sliding down along the overturned board, with no idea how deep it was below. Wen Baiyu's other hand subconsciously flailed about, having completely lost all technique.

  Just then, with a "pop", the downward momentum of the two people suddenly stopped.

  Wen Bai's eyes widened in surprise, and it turned out that his hand was holding a phoenix bone dagger. Earlier, he had panicked and randomly waved the dagger around, and unexpectedly, it had stabbed into the stone wall under the counter.

  Don't look at this bone-made knife, but it cuts through iron like mud. It suddenly inserted into the stone wall and was very firm. Two people were suspended in mid-air without moving.

  Yu Wei Yang was shocked and stared at him, just then Yu Wei Yang suddenly raised his head and said: "Wen Bai Yu! Wen Bai Yu! Above you!"

  The white feather was frightened by his terrified eyes, and the woman's skull was wrapped in hair on top of it. The entire face slid down from the flap, just like a hanged ghost.

  Wen Baiyu raised his head and suddenly let out a loud "ah". The woman's face was only a few centimeters away from his, almost nose to nose. Her face was pale and swollen, and a strong, pungent smell wafted up, making Wen Baiyu feel dizzy and lightheaded.

  Wen Baiyu's hand moved unconsciously, and the sharp Phoenix Bone Dagger that could cut through iron like mud not only managed to insert itself into the rock, but also actually split the rock in two with a loud crack. They suddenly began to rapidly descend.

  The Feng bone knife/first in the rock issued a "crackling" sound, quickly splitting open the stone wall under the flip board, two people with knives/first as resistance, although still falling, but the force was much smaller.

  "Bang!" A loud noise, two people fell into a big pit under the seesaw.

  Yu Wei Yang was knocked to the ground, but he quickly got up. The woman's head also somehow slid down the rock wall, her hair making a "whooshing" sound as it extended and then retracted back.

  Yu Wei Yang got up and went to pull Wen Bai Yu, but Wen Bai Yu's face turned pale, and he let out a painful hiss, saying: "I... I have no strength in my legs."

  Yu Wenyang said: "Broken off?"

  Wen Baiyu anxiously said: "I'm really having a hard time, if this leg breaks again I reckon I won't be able to get up!"

  "Gurgle... gurgle..."

  Her head was spinning on the ground, and soon she rushed over, her hair swooshing over, Wen Baiyu endured the pain, rolled on the ground, and rolled to Yu Yang's feet.

  Yu Wei Yang hastily stretched out his hand to carry him, Yu Wei Yang's figure was very thin, how could he compare with Wan Kuang Jing Hou's stability, but he didn't dare to stay, and immediately took off running.

  The space under the plank is very large and it's unknown where it leads to.

  Yu Wei Yang ran forward, the head behind him rolled and chased after them, suddenly bouncing up from the ground, "whoosh" and tripped Yu Wei Yang's ankle.

  Yu Wei Yang was caught off guard and pounced out, slamming Wen Bai Yu to the ground in an instant.

  Wen Baiyu's head knocked against the ground, and suddenly it was warm and dizzy, feeling like she was about to go crazy. For a moment, she was stunned, her brain spinning, and her eyes went black and numb.

  "Roar——"

  The head let out a sharp howl and charged over, opening its bloody great maw, ready to bite Wen Baiyu with its rotten teeth.

  "Ah!"

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud cry, panting heavily, and with a wave of his hand, the Phoenix Bone Dagger flashed with a "whoosh" sound, as if it was emitting a fiery glow.

  "Roar——"

  The skull let out a loud shout, as if it had been flung out by an enormous force. With a "crack" sound, it flew backward and crashed into the rocky wall, then slid down along the rock face, rolling on the ground, motionless.

  Just a moment ago, Yu Wei Yang saw a dazzling red light, like the color of blood, and thought it was from his head, so he quickly ran over to help Wen Bai Yu up.

  Wen Baiyu was panting heavily, his eyes slightly unfocused. Yu Yang supported him and saw his pupils, then froze for a moment before exclaiming in alarm: "Wen Baiyu... your eyes seem to be bleeding!"

  Wen Baiyu was called back to his senses by the sound of rain outside, blinked his eyes, and reached out to wipe away the blood. He didn't feel any pain, but rather a severe headache, as if he had been stunned silly from the collision.

  Wen Baiyu rubbed her eyes, and Yu Wangyang saw that the flash of fiery red in Wen Baiyu's eyes just now suddenly retreated, as if it were his own illusion.

  "What's wrong with me?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Yu Wei Yang stared blankly for a few moments before shaking his head and saying, "I must have hit my head and gotten it wrong, never mind."

  Wen Baiyu reached out and touched the back of his head, a patch of blood, saying: "I'm the stupid one, I was never clever to begin with."

  "Hehe......"

  As soon as Wen Baiyu finished speaking, a soft laugh was heard, like the laughter of a young girl, very light and ethereal, echoing in the deep ditch under the plank, sounding extremely eerie.

  Wen Baiyu and Yu Wei Yang were both startled, they looked up to see a person lying on the back of a giant not far away!

  That person looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, like a little girl. She was extremely beautiful, with long hair scattered behind her ears, round eyes with a hook at the end, looking pure and lovely, yet not lacking in charm. Her eyelashes were dense and long, blinking repeatedly, as if they could blow people away. Her eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, her mouth small and thin, the corners of her lips curled up, as if she was always smiling.

  The little girl hid behind the stone, her eyes curved in a smile, as if she saw that they thought it was interesting, but also very shy. When they looked over, the little girl shrank back behind the stone.

  Seemed very curious, finally stretched out half of his body, looked ahead.

  Wen Baiyu and Yu Wei Yang both blushed at the same time, is this girl not wearing clothes?!

  The little girl poked her head out, revealing half of her scapula, the shape of her collarbone was perfectly formed, her slender arms, sloping shoulders, and the curve of her arm was also very beautiful. Her skin was a porcelain white color, looking flawless, with pale pink flower petals tattooed on her shoulders and arms, in a scattered pattern, extremely vivid.

  Wen Baiyu could even smell the fragrance of flowers.

  And this little girl isn't wearing clothes!

  Luckily the little girl only exposed a part of herself from behind the stone, otherwise she would have been completely exposed. They were all big men, it was really embarrassing!

  Wen Baiyu puckered up her mouth, this lovely little loli, how come he didn't meet her earlier? If they had met earlier, would Wan Qi Jing Hou have been able to bully him!

  But it's all too late now, and Wen Baiyu's heart is filled with sorrow.

  "Hehe......"

  The little girl seemed to be amused by Wen Baiyu's silly appearance, her bright eyes looking at him with a cute and shy smile.

  That girl's demeanor is extremely elegant, her face is beautiful, and a smile reveals a hint of charm, it's not an exaggeration to say that she's enchanting.

  Yu Wei Yang tugged at Wen Bai Yu's clothes and whispered, "This is a tomb, how can there be a little girl? Could it be a zongzi?"

  Wen Baiyu was startled by his words, almost blinded by the "beauty" of it all. This place is so eerie, this tomb is beneath the Ming Tomb, which already has two layers, plus the distance from the thief's hole, at least 120-130 meters down, how could a young girl be here?!

  Moreover, this little girl has a very good complexion and doesn't look like she's starving at all. Even if they brought water and dry rations, they didn't have as good of a complexion as the little girl.

  Wen Baiyu felt more and more eerie as he thought about it, saying: "Let's...let's hurry up and leave."

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Where are we going? If we stay here, when Tang Zi and the others come over, they'll see the flipped board on the ground and can follow it to find us. If we go further ahead, I'm afraid they won't be able to find us..."

  "Hehe......"

  The little girl was still smiling, her hands grasping the stone, looking at them with pure big eyes, as if exploring whether they were good or bad people.

  Wen Baiyu was startled by his smile and said: "But this girl is so strange, always smiling, it's creepy..."

  He had just spoken when Yu Wei Yang suddenly widened his eyes and said: "It's... it's coming!"

  Wen Baiyu was startled by him and almost let out a loud cry, but his mouth opened wide without making a sound.

  All that can be seen is that the "little girl" has already stood up from behind the rock, her porcelain skin radiating a lustrous glow, her slender figure not showing any bones, with sloping shoulders, a delicate waist, smooth thighs, beautiful calves, and even her toes are plump and rounded like small shells, looking soft and lovely.

  His left shoulder, left arm and right waist and right thigh all had scattered petal tattoos, Wen Baiyu felt that this time was not an illusion, he could smell a floral scent!

  If you ignore what's between her legs, she really is an angel...

  "Damn it..."

  "It's a boy!"

  Yu Wei Yang took a step back and said: "Isn't this something we should be discussing now?!"

  The boy's hair fell on his shoulders, "heh heh" laughing, his smile seemed particularly infectious, the whole person seemed like a god, every move and gesture exuded spirit, slowly walking over.

  Wen Baiyu was so scared that his hair stood on end. Would a normal person walk around smiling foolishly without wearing clothes? And what's with the floral scent? This is a tomb, where did the fragrance come from? If there's a fragrance, it must be a ghost!

  Yu Wei Yang stretched out his hand to pull him, preparing to escape with his life.

  At this moment, the boy hooked his hands and had already taken a step ahead to hook around Wen Baiyu's neck, then sat down in Wen Baiyu's arms.

  He was very small in stature, like a nest in Wen Baiyu's arms. Compared to him, Wen Baiyu was tall and majestic...

  Wen Baiyu was so scared that he didn't dare move, and the lovely boy happened to be sitting on his broken leg. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to curse.

  "Hehe......"

  The little boy laughed again and said: "What's your name?"

  White Feather's teeth were clenched, her lips tightly pursed, and her head shook like a rattle drum, absolutely refusing to speak.

  The little boy's skin was smooth to the touch, like fine ceramics, both glossy and slippery. Although he looked thin, his body felt plump, but most importantly, his whole body was icy cold!

  Ghost...

  Wen Baiyu's mind was left with only this thought.

  Just then, "Bang" a sound came from behind.

  Wen Baiyu was surprised to turn back, and saw that Wan Kuang Jinghou and Tang Zi had already slid down from the plank, their waists still tied with ropes. There were some bloodstains on both of their bodies, but they seemed to be unharmed.

  As soon as Wan Qi Jing Hou arrived, he saw a person with a shiny body sitting in Wen Bai Yu's arms, holding him tightly and immediately looking very unhappy.

  Wen Baiyu opened his mouth and shouted for help, saying: "Wan, Wan Qi Jing Hou... save me!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes narrowed, and he saw that the little boy seemed to be extremely afraid of him. Suddenly, he sprang up, and Wen Bai Yu only felt a flash before his eyes. That little boy had transformed from a big living person into a rabbit!

  Rabbit!

  Moreover, it has the upper body of a human and the lower body of a rabbit, with a rabbit's tail, and its whole body is covered in white fluff. If you ignore its human body, it really looks like an adorable rabbit.

  But how could this be overlooked!

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud "Ah!" and her face turned pale, as if the pain of having her leg cut off was nothing compared to this.

  The rabbit jumped very far with a "whoosh", and then another "whoosh", disappeared into the darkness.

  Wen Baiyu saw him escape and immediately felt a sense of relief.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou walked over with a terrible expression, Wen Bai Yu sat on the ground, grasping his pants and said: "Scared me to death..."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and touched his hand, with a cold sweat in the palm of his hand, and his face finally eased up a bit.

  "What was that just now? A ghost?"

  Tang Zi looked at Wen Baiyu's pale face, then saw Wan Kuang Jinghou's unpleasant expression, and smiled very impolitely: "Boss, the one just now was called Rao Shou, also known as Chan."

  Wen Baiyu said: "A goose? He doesn't look like a goose at all, nor does he look like an egg. Clearly, it's a rabbit!"

  Tangzi laughed and said: "It's not a domesticated goose, but a deceitful creature. It's an ancient divine beast with a beautiful face, but its body is like a rabbit. It's said to have elegant manners, delicious meat, and medicinal value. However, the creature has the ability to bewitch people's hearts, and it likes to tell stories, but the words that come out of its mouth are not true. Some say that if you eat its meat, you will never speak the truth again."

  Wen Baiyu said: "How can there be such a monster in this tomb?"

  Tangzi said: "Maybe it was buried with him, or maybe it was a pet raised by the tomb owner."

  Wen Baiyu sat on the ground panting, and then pitifully said to Wan Jijing Hou: "My leg is broken again, I'm so unlucky."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down to take a look, and this time Wen Bai Yu was in more pain than usual. Seeing his pale face and cold sweat, Wan Qi Jing Hou couldn't help but feel some sympathy, so he put away his indifferent expression and said, "It's not broken."

  "Really!?"

  Wen Baiyu happily said: "I thought it was broken again, it's good that it didn't break! But why does it hurt so much if it didn't break, more painful than last time?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said faintly: "It's possible that it's fractured."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu's heart was wailing in grief, it would be better if it were broken off, I heard that a fracture is more painful than being broken off!

  Wan Jie Jing Hou stretched out his hand to pick him up, and Wen Bai Yu cooperated by lying on Wan Jie Jing Hou's back, pitifully saying: "It hurts especially."

  "Endure a little, let's find a way out. There is no regular hospital on this mountain, we need to go into the city to find one. If we delay for too long, your bones will heal crookedly and you'll have to be rebroken and reset."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu's whole body trembled and said: "You'd better not say that..."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou carried Wen Bai Yu on his back, and Wen Bai Yu said: "The road ahead doesn't know where it leads to, that rabbit just flashed by and disappeared, there must be a path ahead."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and carried him forward on his back.

  Tang Zi followed behind, walking alongside Yu Wei Yang.

  Tang Zi saw that Yu Wei Yang's body was covered in scratches, took out some medicine from his backpack and sprayed it on him, saying: "Boss Yu, does it hurt?"

  Yu Wei Yang endured the pain and shook his head, saying: "It's nothing, you have so many wounds on your body, hurry up and treat them, otherwise they'll get infected."

  Tang Zile smiled and said, "It's okay, just minor injuries, don't waste medicine."

  Yu Wei Yang said: "What's wrong with it? Stretch out your hand."

  Tang Zǐ reluctantly stretched out his hand, he just wanted to tell Yu Lǎobǎn that in fact he really didn't need the medicine for injuries, as he could heal himself, it's just that it wasn't as miraculous as Wàn Suì Jǐng Hóu's blood and saliva.

  Yu Wei Yang carefully applied medicine to Tang Zi, and wrapped gauze around the deep wound to prevent it from touching anything or getting dirty.

  "Rain boss."

  Tang Tzu suddenly called out in a low voice, Yu Wei Yang looked up in confusion, and then saw a shadow pressing down on him, followed by a scorching heat on his lips.

  Tang Zhen's body temperature was very high, so high that it seemed like he was on fire, and it was imprinted on Yu Ruiyang's lips.

  "Hmm..."

  Yu Wei Yang subconsciously let out a sigh, and Tang Zi had already stretched out his tongue, probing into Yu Wei Yang's mouth, gently rubbing against Yu Lao Ban's tongue.

  Wen Baiyu was perched on Wang Jingshou's back, still thinking that the two people behind were really slow, wondering if something had happened to them, when suddenly there was no sound.

  Wen Baiyu turned around anxiously, only to see Tang Zi pinning Yu Yang against the stone wall, their lips locked in a kiss, and Tang Zi's hands were also rummaging inside Yu's clothes.

  Don't look at Tang Zi, usually like a silly big boy, but that's when it's simply a model of not wanting face.

  "Cough! Cough!"

  Wen Baiyu coughed twice with great effort, and Yu Yang was so frightened that he almost slid down the stone wall, but was caught in Tang Ziyi's arms.

  "Hurry up and walk, don't fall behind!"

  Yu Wenyang's face turned bright red, Tangzi naturally grabbed Yu's hand and said: "Boss Yu, can you walk? If not, I'll carry you on my back."

  Yu Wei Yang glared at him and said: "I'll go myself, I don't know how much longer the road is, you'd better conserve your energy."

  Tang Zixiao chuckled and said softly to Yu Wei Yang: "Well, since Boss Yu has said so, I'll conserve my energy for now and wait till we get back..."

  The latter half of the sentence he said in a very low voice, but Yu Wei Yang's face turned red like it had been cooked, and she glared at him fiercely, however Tang Zi was unmoved.

  Wen Baiyu's mouth was watering, these two people are simply inseparable, showing off their love every day, it's really nauseating.

  They kept walking forward, a very long distance, all the way was black/dark/dark, although the surrounding area was dug out very smoothly, but there were no murals, nor brick heads.

  Yu Wei Yang began to suspect that this was not a tomb but a mine.

  Just as they were about to lose patience, the stone wall turned into a passageway and finally returned to normal, with a round top and square bottom, more exquisite than the outside.

  Wen Baiyu was shocked to discover that every mural in this corridor depicted Feng Huang and Xiang Wang, even in their daily trivial matters.

  "Hey, look! It's that rabbit from just now!"

  Everyone looked at the mural pointed by Wen Baiyu, Yu Wei Yang said: "It's really that rabbit."

  The mural depicts a small story, the rabbit is a deceitful beast, although it is lively and beautiful, but it is not an auspicious animal. The deceitful beast has been a symbol of deception and bewitchment since ancient times. It is said that where the deceitful beast appears, the local customs are not good, and many phenomena such as the lower classes cheating the upper classes, people rebelling against officials, children being unfilial, wives being unchaste, and even children killing their fathers will occur.

  An official caught a strange beast and presented it to King Xiang. King Xiang ordered someone to tie the beast to a wooden stick and throw it into the fire to burn it.

  The Huan beast looked pitiful, seemingly still a cub. Hong Yu rescued the Huan beast and King Xiang couldn't bear to reject Hong Yu's intention, so he put the Huan beast in a cage, fitted it with a golden muzzle, not allowing it to speak, and gave it to Hong Yu.

  Wen Baiyu said: "So this rabbit was raised by Hong Yu? That's thousands of years ago, it has become a spirit!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and looked at these murals, one by one, but most of them were just trivial matters.

  Further inside, there was a stone chamber with the door open. Inside were two coffins, but their lids were wide open and there were no boxes to cover them.

  Wen Baiyu took a look and saw that the coffin was indeed a good thing, but inside it was empty, there was nothing.

  Yu Wei Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, saying: "Looking at the carvings and decorations, this should be the main tomb chamber. How can it also be empty? This entire underground palace is so grand, yet there's nothing inside?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly said: "It's not like there isn't."

  As he spoke, everyone followed his gaze and saw that behind the two coffins, there was a small stone pedestal, on which a bronze box was placed. The box was square, about 30 centimeters on each side.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou carried Wen Bai Yu and walked over, only to see a fluffy thing crouching behind the box. As they approached, the fluffy thing flashed and suddenly jumped up, turning out to be that beast!

  The beast jumped twice and plunged into the darkness, disappearing again.

  Yu Wenyang said: "In this whole tomb, there is only this bronze box? What's inside?"

  Wen Baiyu cautiously stretched out her hand to poke at the box, and it seemed that no mechanism shot out, so she boldly touched it. The box was very heavy, after all, it was made of bronze, but there was no sound coming from inside. On the front of the box, there was a lock hole.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the shape of this lock and felt very familiar, suddenly "ah" exclaimed: "It's the key that Jiǔ Mìng brought back, that key must be used to open this lock!"

  He said, and then added: "Ah... but I left the key at home."

  Yu Wei Yang: "......"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Saying it is equivalent to not saying it, and still don't know what's inside."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What's so difficult about it? Let's just bring the box back and open it at home to take a look."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and touched the box, on which was carved a phoenix pattern. The lines of the pattern moved under his fingertips, stirring up an inexplicable tremor.

  The things in here are very familiar, so familiar that it's as if he had put them there himself...

  Wen Baiyu felt that since they found the bronze box, Wan Kuang Jing Hou had been acting strangely, often spacing out and not knowing what he was thinking about. When called three times, he would only respond to one of them.

  And upon hearing this voice, he may not necessarily come to his senses, but instead turns around and stares at himself with a particularly complex gaze, as if thinking about something, leaving Wen Baiyu bewildered.

  They came out of the underground palace and immediately went down the mountain. They had stayed in the tomb for quite some time, and the boss of Nongjiale thought they had been taken away by the female ghost on the mountain and were about to report them missing. As a result, they saw them return, and their bodies were very battered, with Wen Baiyu's leg broken.

  Four people quickly drove into the city, found a hospital for Wen Baiyu in the city, and indeed had a fracture. However, since Wen Baiyu was carried on his back all the time and didn't move around, he fixed it and there was no big deal. He got a plaster cast and waited to have it removed.

  They lingered in the city for a few days, and everyone still decided to drive back to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, they would have Wen Baiyu take another look at her leg, which would also put their minds at ease.

  Wen Baiyu bought a cane, after all they had a lot of luggage, if they also bought a wheelchair, there would be no room to put it in the trunk.

  Wen Baiyu was sleeping on the road, while Wan Kuang Jinghou was in a daze. Sometimes he stared out of the window, and sometimes he stared at Wen Baiyu, who could feel a "scorching" gaze even though she was asleep, and it was impossible to ignore no matter how hard she tried.

  When the sky outside was darkening, Wen Baiyu and others were still in the wilderness, not a single soul in sight. It seemed that they would have to sleep in the car tonight. However, for Wen Baiyu, he only needed to get off the car when he wanted to use the restroom or throw up.

  The car had gone halfway when Wen Baiyu suddenly shouted: "Can't go on, stop the car, pull over... I'm going to throw up..."

  Tang Zi had no choice but to stop the car, and Wen Baiyu got out of the car, leaning on his crutches, hopping forward one by one, walking into the nearby woods.

  Wen Baiyu puked every two hours on this road trip, it had become a daily routine, the other three people were already used to it.

  Wen Baiyu slipped into the grass, propped his crutch against a tree, and was just about to bend down and vomit when suddenly there was a rustling sound behind him.

  Wen Baiyu felt a sudden jolt and thought it was a wild beast, just as he was about to turn his head around, something suddenly pressed against the back of his skull, cold and icy, a pipe.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly stiffened.

  The person behind her spoke in a low voice and whispered: "Sister, we meet again."

  Wen Baiyu heard the voice and felt somewhat familiar, and this way of calling, only one person would use.

  Wen Baiyu turned his head around, and indeed saw a man wearing a black leather jacket standing behind him, with a cigarette in his mouth, smiling at him. However, he was holding a gun in his hand, seeming not very friendly at all.

  It was before in Shuicheng beside, together fell Dou of time narrative.

  Shi Xu smiled and looked at him with a smile, Wen Baiyu frowned and said: "What are you doing?"

  "Hey, sister/brother, don't speak too loudly, what if you attract someone?"

  He said with a smile, then collected his expression and said seriously: "It's hard for you to follow me on this trip."

  Shi Xu used his gun to heavily tap Wen Baiyu's head, and Wen Baiyu stumbled, almost falling to the ground. His legs were not agile now, and he was lifted by Shi Xu's hand, immediately being carried like a small chicken into the depths of the forest, with his crutch falling to the ground with a "thud".

  Shi Xu took Wen Baiyu and walked inside, soon saw a van, pushed Wen Baiyu up, there were already people in the car, a total of three people, plus a driver.

  A stout middle-aged man, dressed in gold and silver, with a large ring on his hand, looked like a nouveau riche. His chin was almost three layers thick, with a lump of flesh hanging down, his belly was so big that it seemed to hit the ground, his eyes were narrowed into a slit, with a cunning and lewd look.

  Another one looked like a pointed mouth monkey, and there was a pungent smell of disinfectant on his body.

  There is another person who looks like a fighter/hand-to-hand combatant, with a military sword hanging from his waist, and the bag behind his buttocks is bulging, definitely with a gun inside.

  That fat middle-aged man smiled and sized up Wen Baiyu, saying: "Stone, you said the important person is him? Without him, we can't dig that land? I think he's thin and small, not like a key figure at all. Look at this little face, it's quite elegant, really to my taste, haha! Stone, you wouldn't have brought someone for me to play with, would you?"

  He finished speaking and started laughing lewdly again, Wen Baiyu stared at him with wide eyes.

  The self-proclaimed Guan Ye laughed and said: "Ah, I like the eyes, after finishing the fight, this kid I must take away."

  Shi Xue smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He just said, "That can wait till after we're done with the fight. Don't mention it, Grandpa. This is indeed a crucial person. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to make it."

  That person who smells of disinfectant all over his body is a doctor, a returned overseas Chinese with piles and piles of academic certificates and honorary doctoral degrees. This kind of person has become mentally ill from doing scientific research.

  Dr. Wang said: "What's so special about this kid that he has to come down with us?"

  "Alright, let's not ask about the origin, it's also a rule in our line of work. Let's just not ask too much, anyway, this tomb definitely has what you want and what I want, we'll each take what's good for us."

  That big and powerful hand shouted: "Who knows if you're deceiving us?"

  Shi Xun smiled and said: "If Old Xi thinks I'm cheating you, he can get off the bus now."

  Old Guan smiled and said, "Don't quarrel, let's talk it over. Anyway, we've already agreed to go to that divine tomb to take a look. The things in the tomb, you really only want one? The rest will belong to us?"

  Shi Xiang said: "Listen to what I'm saying, what I say is naturally true. I'll just take one thing, it's not something valuable."

  Wen Baiyu listened to them, one sentence each, and didn't even know what tomb it was, let alone bringing himself what. If he brought Wan Kui Jinghou, he could still use his strength, but now that his legs were crippled, bringing himself down wasn't being a burden?

  Wen Baiyu watched them chatting happily and sat alone in the corner, with Gu Ye occasionally glancing at him, his gaze making Wen Baiyu feel nauseous.

  Wen Bai's heart was racing, almost jumping out of her throat. The car had been driving for half an hour, and Guan Ye and the others began to discuss the terrain of this trip.

  Wen Baiyu shrunk into the corner, his hands tied behind him, no idea how they were tied, anyway very unprofessional. His fingertips strained forward, and he managed to reach his pocket, Wen Baiyu's fingertips desperately pinched, pinching his phone, then stuck it to his back as much as possible.

  Wen Baiyu brushed her hand over the phone, putting it on silent mode. Then, she fumbled in the dark and pressed a few numbers, not knowing if the call had gone through or not.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou and the other two waited for Wen Bai Yu to finish vomiting and come back, but it seemed like Wen Bai Yu had gone for a very long time. Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow, got down from the carriage, and said: "I'll go take a look at him."

  Yu Wei Yang smiled and said: "Is it all vomited out?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou left for a while and immediately came back, holding Wen Bai Yu's cane in his hand.

  Yu Wei Yang said in surprise: "Where is Wen Bai Yu?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It's gone."

  Yu Wei Yang was even more surprised and said: "Disappeared? In this desolate mountain wilderness?"

  Wan Zijun said: "There are wheel marks in the forest, let's drive the carriage in and chase after them."

  Tang Zi immediately got in the car and drove it into the woods, and indeed saw tire tracks, which looked like those of a truck rather than a small sedan.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's face was very bad, just at this time, Wan Xi Jing Hou's mobile phone suddenly rang.

  This was the first time Wang Jue's phone rang. Before, Wen Baiyu had thought it would be inconvenient for Wang Jue not to have a phone, so she bought him one. The two of them used identical phones, which looked especially like couple phones, and Wen Baiyu secretly laughed about it for a long time.

  There were only a few numbers in Wan Kuang's phone, Wen Baiyu's, Tangzi's, Yu Wei Yang's, and no one else's.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou lowered his head and took a look, and the phone display showed that it was actually Wen Bai Yu!

  He immediately answered his cell phone, and a noisy sound came from inside.

  A middle-aged man's voice laughed loudly and said: "I had also heard about it before, I heard that this cave is one of the suspected tombs of King Xiang, but because the terrain is very dangerous and the cave is very evil, many masters returned to the entrance, and many people died inside, do you have confidence?"

  Shi Xu's voice laughed and said: "It really is a bit of a challenge for me, this fight I've been through once, it's indeed evil, but not to the point of being fatal. The main thing is that there are too many things inside, it's hard to move them out. To be blunt, if this fight were to be emptied, being rich enough to rival a country would be an understatement. Even if you splurge all day, it's enough for your descendants to eat for three generations."

  Lao Xiu's voice said: "Really!? What are we waiting for? Let's get going! We should arrive early, or someone will snatch it from us."

  Grandpa Pipe smiled and said: "That's the way it is, hurry up and drive, hurry up and drive. We'll pour a toast, and I'll also taste this tender meat. Looking at this young man with delicate skin, when he blinks, it makes people's hearts itch. Ah, he's staring at me again."

  Shi Xiang said: "Be careful, Master Guan, this person has a background."

  "What's the big idea?"

  Shi Xu said, "His two uncles were famous on the road twenty years ago, Ke Ye and Jiu Ye, although they have retired from Jianghu for many years, people in the martial arts world still buy their accounts."

  Master Guan was taken aback, but he still forced himself to calm down and smiled: "When I, Master Guan, was young and vigorous, his two uncles were still wearing split pants. Besides, if his two uncles heard my great name, they would probably rush to send their nephew/son to my bed!"

  The old man spoke recklessly, unaware that their conversation had been overheard by others.

  Shi Xiang said: "Let's talk about something serious. We're going to She Shan by waterway, how is Master Guan's preparation?"

  Old Guan laughed and said: "You little guy is too cautious, asking me three to five times, it's on my body, it's just a boat, Old Guan can still handle it. Moreover, I've rented a few people to do the work, when the time comes, take these people to She Shan, load and unload the things in the bucket, and then push them into the sea, that's it!"

  He said that here, Wen Baiyu didn't know what Snake Mountain was, but he also heard the key words. He was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly hung up his phone and put it back in his pocket.

  When he hung up, Shi Xu was looking this way, as if he had seen something, but didn't mention it.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou heard the end of the call and looked down at his phone, the call had been cut off, his face was extremely ugly.

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Wen Bai Yu was taken away? To take him to Snake Mountain? What is Snake Mountain, is it the one recorded in Shan Hai Jing?"

  Tangzi sank his face, nodded and said: "Shan Hai Jing has a record, 'Inside the North Sea there is a snake mountain, the snake water comes out from it, and flows east into the sea. There are five-colored birds flying over one town, named Quque bird'."

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Where is Snake Mountain? Isn't this a legend? Is there really such a thing as Snake Mountain?"

  Tang Zǐ said: "In the past, people had a habit of referring to islands as mountains. Therefore, many people think that Shéshān (Snake Mountain) is actually Shé Dǎo (Snake Island) in the Bohai Sea. However, whether or not Shéshān is indeed Shé Dǎo is merely an inference and there isn't any conclusive evidence."

  Yu Wei Yang said: "These people say they are going to fight under the Snake Mountain, could it be that they are actually going to the Bohai Sea? I heard them say they still need to rent a boat, if they go out to sea, we won't be able to find them! We must hurry and catch up with them."

  The white feather was shaken to vomit, enduring all the time, his stomach was uncomfortable to death, and his leg was broken, he couldn't escape by himself.

  The car kept taking small roads and didn't take the highway. Wen Baiyu also didn't know how to get there, so when night fell, everyone got out of the car to set up tents.

  "Tonight, I'll share a tent with this little guy," said Guan Yeye with a smile.

  Shi Xu laughed and said: "Don't bother, Gu Ye, I'll just share a tent with him."

  Wen Baiyu got off the car, and everyone lit a bonfire. They sat around the fire eating canned food and other snacks they had brought. Wen Baiyu's stomach growled with hunger as he stared at the dark forest, thinking to himself how unlucky he was.

  Shi Xu suddenly walked over, handed him a bundle of rope, then took out some dry rations and said: "Sister-in-law, eat something."

  Wen Baiyu glanced at him but didn't take the thing.

  Shi Xu sat beside him and said with a smile: "Eat some, if you're starving, Wan Kuang Jing Hou will tear me apart."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Why are you arresting me? I don't know anything."

  Shi Xu lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask for Wan Kui Jing Hou's help, but I know he doesn't like to get involved in other people's business...and this matter is extremely important, so I have no choice but to resort to this. Once the matter is settled, whether you want to kill me or execute me is entirely up to you."

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback, then said: "You want to bring Wan Kuang Jing Hou over? You saw me making the call and deliberately let me make it to Wan Kuang Jing Hou?"

  Shi nodded and smiled wryly, saying: "I really had no choice but to come up with this idea, but I promise you, absolutely won't hurt you. If anyone touches a hair on your head, I'll fight them to the death. Is that okay?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Then what business do you have, that you must bring Wan Kui Jinghou over?"

  "I can't say now."

  Wen Baiyu glared at him and immediately went to dig out his phone, but Shi Xu snatched it away and casually threw it deep into the woods.

  The phone suddenly disappeared in the dark and couldn't be seen at all.

  Shi Xu said: "Wan Kui Jing Hou already knows where we are going, he will find us soon, other things, don't worry about it, I won't harm you, just help me with this."

  Wen Baiyu was already so angry that he couldn't eat, sitting by the fire pit, Gu Ye and a few others had fallen asleep, still smiling and letting Shi Xu watch Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu stared at the flickering flames, leaning against a tree and pretending to sleep, but couldn't fall asleep.

  "Shasha..."

  Just then, Wen Baiyu suddenly heard a rustling sound, as if something was moving quickly through the grass, and then a white shadow darted past.

  Wen Baiyu was startled and suddenly opened his eyes, again with a "rustling" sound. The white shadow flashed by especially quickly, appearing unusually eerie in the pitch-black night.

  After two rings, the surroundings suddenly fell silent again. Wen Baiyu straightened her back and sat on the ground, vigilantly looking around.

  Suddenly, Wen Baiyu's back felt a chill, and he saw a pair of fiery red eyes staring at him from the grass. The eyes were round and emitted a frightening glow.

  Shi Xu was extremely alert and saw the red light. He immediately fired a shot with a "bang" sound, and the pair of red eyes disappeared instantly.

  Wen Baiyu was startled, and the people in the tent also woke up and immediately crawled out. Guan Yeye's courage was the smallest, shouting: "What's wrong! Why shoot!"

  Shi Xiang said: "This place is not clean, let's put out the fire and hurry on our way."

  Grandpa Guan was so scared, as soon as he heard something was wrong, his face turned white. He was the first to get into the car. Old Xu packed up the tent and put out the fire. Everyone got in the car and they started driving again.

  Everyone got on the car and stepped on the gas pedal for a while. For several days in a row, everyone didn't even set up tents and just slept in the car.

  Also don't know how many days passed, finally arrived at the port, but it's not a regular sea port, there is a boat parked there, looks like it was prepared by Master Guan in advance.

  The old man smiled and looked at the boat, saying: "How's that? Stylish? This is a good fellow I bought for a high price."

  Everyone got on the boat, and the boat was stocked with dry rations and water, as well as a lot of equipment, everything was fully prepared.

  "Besides, I've already found the laborers for unloading. There are too many people and it's too chaotic. In total, there are ten laborers. Later, let them all get off the boat together to move things. If we need to dig a tunnel, these people can do the work."

  Wen Baiyu was pushed onto the boat by Old Xu, who cursed and scolded him, saying: "Stop pretending to be a foreigner, hurry up and go on board!"

  The white-haired old man was pushed forward, there was water on the boat, the floor was slippery, and his cane slipped out from under him. His whole body tilted to one side, and he almost fell to the ground.

  At this time, a man beside him suddenly stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Wen Baiyu's waist, holding him up so that he wouldn't fall.

  This feeling is too familiar, and the person's body temperature is cool, Wen Baiyu suddenly raised his head, looking at the person who was dressed in a miserable manner, it was actually Wan Qi Jing Hou!

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou wore a coarse linen garment, with even his sleeves rolled up, but he was born to be a clothes rack, and even tattered cloth looked great on him.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him in surprise, but Wan Jingshou didn't seem too surprised. Wen Baiyu quickly withdrew his gaze and glanced to the side, good guy, Tangzi and Yu Wangyang were also there...

  After several days, finally gathered a table of mahjong again...

  Wen Baiyu looked at them in surprise with their outfit, but quickly withdrew her gaze, unable to reveal her trap.

  "Old Xǔ, be gentle with your hands. This young whippersnapper is so tender, don't cripple his legs. After the fight, Guǎn-yé still wants to enjoy him."

  He had just finished speaking when he heard a "giggle" sound. It turned out that it was the creaking of his finger joints, which sounded particularly frightening.

  They didn't stay for long, after hurrying on the road for a few days and getting tired, they prepared to go back to their respective rooms in the ship to rest.

  Wen Baiyu also has a room, and now they are no longer afraid that Wen Baiyu will run away. Anyway, the boat has already set sail, and Wen Baiyu can't jump off the boat either.

  Everyone went to rest, and Wen Baiyu also entered the room, plopping down on the bed with a thud. Feeling exhausted, she had been nervous all along, and after seeing something strange in the woods, her nerves were stretched taut. Now that she saw Wan Jinhong, Wen Baiyu's heart relaxed, and she felt a wave of fatigue wash over her.

  Wen Baiyu fell onto the bed, although the boat was big, it was after all on water, rocking back and forth.

  Just as Wen Baiyu was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Her stomach growled with hunger, thinking it was food delivery, so she struggled to get up, leaning on her crutches and walked over to open the door.

  As soon as the door opened, someone suddenly flashed in and then "bang" closed the door. Wen Baiyu let out a soft cry of "ah", then retreated several steps, pressed against the bed, looked up, and it was actually that stout Manager Guan.

  Grandpa Pipe smiled and looked at him, stretched out his hand to touch his face, with a look of excitement, saying: "Ah, little Wen, we've walked this far together, after all, we've developed some feelings for each other. Now that there's nothing else to do, how about..."

  He said, Wen Baiyu almost vomited on his face, casually reached out to grab him, and suddenly heard Guan Ye let out a loud "Ah!" and retreated several steps, covering his own hand.

  There was a big gash on the back of his hand, with flesh turned inside out and blood gushing out. Wen Baiyu glanced sideways to see that Feng Gu's dagger had been stuck to his body all along. The dagger could split mountains, let alone Master Guan's hand.

  Old Man Guan's face turned black with rage, and he shouted: "Don't give me any lip, or I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

  Wen Baiyu's eyes were gritted with anger, but just as he was about to pounce like a sick cat, the door suddenly opened quietly behind him and someone walked in.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly burst out laughing, and Guan Yeye thought he was afraid, saying: "As long as you're honest, it's fine, you know you're afraid?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "Still don't know who will feed the fish."

  He said that, but Guan Yeye suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. Before he could turn his head around, there was a loud "ah" cry, and a body thudded to the ground with a "thud". He fainted immediately.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou walked over from behind, his face looking very bad, and arrived at Wen Bai Yu's side, saying: "How's your leg?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "It seems like nothing's wrong, I'm just too hungry. I haven't eaten properly for the past few days."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou reached into his pocket and pulled out a few things, handing them to Wen Bai Yu. Wen Bai Yu looked down and saw that they were chocolates. At this point, it was the only thing available, so he peeled off the packaging paper and stuffed the chocolate into his mouth.

  Who would have thought that just as he was about to put it in, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly leaned over, grasped Wen Bai Yu's shoulder, and kissed him on the lips. His tongue immediately darted in, and with a quick flick of his tongue tip, he snatched away Wen Bai Yu's chocolate.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened instantly, Wan Qi Jinghou was simply too shameless, he had eaten it all and then took it back, Wen Baiyu immediately got "angry", this was simply robbing food from a tiger's mouth, especially when he had been hungry for several days.

  Wen Baiyu tightly wrapped her arms around the back of Wan Jieying, to prevent him from escaping, then stretched out her tongue and actively inserted it into his mouth, also imitating his movements, rolling up the chocolate with a quick flick of her tongue tip, and not willing to show weakness, she rubbed against Wan Jieying's tongue tip several times, not letting any chocolate go to waste.

  But after doing this thing, Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a little regretful. What's all this about? For a piece of chocolate, it doesn't seem quite right...

  Wan Qi Jing Hou and Wen Bai Yu's breathing both became heavy, their tongues entwined, the electric current-like sensation filled Wen Bai Yu's limbs and head, his waist was soft and unable to move, he tightly clung to Wan Qi Jing Hou's back, the two people quickly became excited.

  Wen Baiyu was pinned down by him, and a deep breathing sound of "ha... ha... " came from his throat, as if he was about to suffocate, and his arm trembled.

  Wen Baiyu took a glance and found that Guan Ye was still on the ground, saying: "That person is still there..."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou leaned in close and whispered with a smile: "Then throw it into the sea to feed the fish?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "I like this idea, let's throw him into the sea first, then we'll head back."

  Just then, a loud "boom" was heard, and the hull began to shake violently.

  "Ah..."

  Wen Baiyu lay on the bed, and with a swoosh, he slid down along the slope, almost hitting the wall. Wan Jiahui stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms.

  "What's going on!? Are we going to capsize?"

  Suddenly, someone outside shouted: "Sea monster! It's a sea monster! There is a sea monster!"

  Right after that was a loud "bang" sound, their boat seemed to be suffering from severe impact, something from the side of the deck suddenly lifted this huge ship.

  This ship is not small, and it's unknown what kind of huge monster can make it shake like this.

  Wen Baiyu's face turned pale as he was carried by Wan Qi Jing Hou, and the two of them had just left the room when they saw Tang Zi and Yu Wei Yang.

  Yu Wei's face turned pale and he said, "The boat is leaking."

  As expected, water was pouring in from outside, and the hull was still shaking violently, with each impact making a loud crashing sound.

  Wen Baiyu sat on Wan Kuang's back and said, "What kind of ghost is this, with such great strength?"

  He was saying this when many people started shouting, "Sea monster! Look! The sea monster is coming! Save us!"

  In the midst of the shouting, a loud " splash" was heard, and a huge wave rose up. A pair of enormous green eyes appeared in the waves, emitting an eerie glow. The eyes were extremely large, like two gigantic bronze bells.

  Wen Baiyu stared at the monster hidden in the waves, and vaguely saw the monster's shell, which was black and green, reflecting light, and each shell was as big as a bowl.

  The monster suddenly let out a loud roar, then "Boom!" A huge sound, with the waves rolling up, two huge wings suddenly appeared.

  Huge waves were turned over, slapping against the ships, water pouring in, and people's screams everywhere.

  "What kind of monster is this!? And it has wings!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It should be a snake transformed."

  "Snake?" said Wen Bai Yu in surprise.

  Wan Kuang didn't answer him again, but said: "Board the small boat."

  He said, taking the lead and carrying Wen Baiyu forward, Tang Zihao and Yu Wei Yang ran behind them. They put down the lifeboat, and Wan Qi Jinghou put Wen Baiyu on it, only to jump back onto the deck suddenly.

  Wen Baiyu was shocked and shouted: "Where are you going?!"

  Wan Qi Jinghou rushed into the big ship that was advancing into the water, after two minutes, he came back with many gifts in his hands, his body was all wet, threw the gifts on the boat, and then launched the lifeboat.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Take some equipment and dry rations, otherwise with such a big sea, even if you have a boat, you won't survive."

  Four people sat in the lifeboat, and the huge python seemed to have ignored such a small lifeboat, still attacking the big ship.

  The snake's body was extremely long, thicker than an ancient tree, with hooks on its tail sharper than a blade. Its wings were also covered in large and small hooks. As it raised its head from the water and suddenly coiled around the ship, there was a loud "boom" sound, and incredibly, it dragged the huge ship into the water.

  Wen Baiyu was already astonished and said: "This thing is so powerful?"

  Tang Ziyi wiped the water from his face, laughing and saying: "Legend has it that the snake-like creature appears around Yin Mountain. I've never seen anything like this before, turns out it really does have wings."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What is the essence of the snake's transformation?"

  Yu Wenyang said: "The Huashe recorded in the Shanhaijing is a water beast with a pair of wings on its back, which rarely opens its mouth. The cry of the Huashe can summon great waters. It is said that during the Spring and Autumn period, someone in Daliang City, Wei State heard a strange roar and found a giant snake-like monster, followed by a flood of the Yellow River, which submerged 850 villages."

  "There is also a legend that the snake spirit was originally one of the ancient gods, Zhuo Jiuyin, but because of its violent and angry nature, it committed a mistake and transformed into a snake spirit, hiding at the bottom of the water and surviving by eating humans."

  Wen Baiyu said: "I've heard of Zhu Jiu Yin, isn't he supposed to be very powerful? They say that when he opens his eyes it's daytime, and when he closes them it's nighttime; when he exhales it's winter, and when he inhales it's summer."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded.

  Wen Baiyu said: "How did this python hide here? Is there really a remarkable tomb nearby?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "It's not clear now."

  Wen Baiyu looked up at the darkening sky, and the sea was pitch black, nothing could be seen, only the sparkling waves. Suddenly, she felt a little frightened and said, "Where are we drifting to? There isn't even a sign."

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "The wind and waves of the sea snake are too great, the lifeboat can't go against the waves, it can only take one step at a time."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, and her stomach suddenly growled loudly. Wan Qi Jinghou took out some food and water from his backpack and handed them to Wen Baiyu, saying, "Eat something."

  Wen Baiyu almost saw a relative, and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth. He was so hungry that he was about to collapse.

  Just then, a "plop" sound was heard, and it seemed that something had emerged from the water. Then a hand landed on the edge of the lifeboat.

  That hand was extremely white and slender, set off by the dark seawater, it didn't even look like a human hand.

  "Ah!"

  Wen Baiyu jumped in fright and retreated a few steps, saying: "Ghost... ghost hand! It's coming out of the water!"

  Yu Wei Yang was also startled.

  Then came a "splash" and another hand stretched out from the sea, grasping their boat, followed by a human head, "splash" sounded as it emerged, and "thud" fell onto their boat.

  "Ah..."

  Wen Baiyu shouted again, and the man's eyes opened. They were red eyeballs, which shone like a pair of bright lights in the dark night.

  At once the head moved, and the hand also moved. Then something else emerged from the sea, and Wen Baiyu saw it clearly this time. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a person who had climbed onto their boat.

  Moreover, this person looks very familiar. Most importantly, he is all shiny and smooth, with porcelain white skin, a small face that's not even the size of a palm, round eyes, and after climbing onto the boat, he fell down on it, with a plump rabbit tail on his butt!

  What's so cute!

  Wen Baiyu almost got scared to death, but when she took a closer look, it turned out to be the Xiang Shou she had met in the underground palace earlier.

  The giant beast couldn't swim, half of its life was gone, it fell on the boat, inhaling less and exhaling more, motionless. If not for the fact that it still breathed, Wen Baiyu thought there would be another corpse on their boat!

  Wen Baiyu looked at him for half a day and said: "How... what to do? He seems to have fainted."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou glanced at the beast and said, "Let's keep it for now. The wind on the sea is strong, and when it gets cold, we can peel off its fur to block the wind."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The beast heard this and suddenly jumped up, a pair of big red eyes staring at Wan Qi Jing Hou, muttering: "You're really too bad, after such a long time you haven't changed, still a tyrant."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and said: "Do you know me?"

  The beast's eyeballs rolled around and looked particularly lively, saying: "I don't know."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes narrowed again, and the beast was so frightened that it trembled all over. It twitched its nose, suddenly darted behind Wen Bai Yu, hid behind him, stretched out two white and tender hands, and hung them on Wen Bai Yu's back from behind.

  Wen Baiyu still remembered that he was a wild beast and didn't dare move at all.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said in a cold voice: "What's inside the bronze box, do you know?"

  The beast smiled and said: "I don't know."

  Wan Kuang's face was extremely unsightly, and Wen Baiyu felt that if things continued like this, they would freeze to death in the ocean before getting lost at sea.

  Wen Baiyu hastily mediated, saying: "If you know what's inside, hurry up and tell us."

  The monster looked at Wen Baiyu and said with a smile: "But I don't want to tell him."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The beast has already practiced the technique of making people angry and resentful.

  Wen Baiyu really had no way, the beast was still hanging on Wen Baiyu's back, and then reached out to grab food from the backpack, just like a rabbit, hugging biscuits and crunching away.

  Wen Baiyu felt like his back was being raked over with a grain sieve, and many cookie crumbs fell off.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Can you get off my back?'"

  The beast blinked its big eyes and said sincerely: "No way."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The beast smiled slyly and said: "Because I like you, I want to hang on your body."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Baiyu suddenly felt the strong north wind blowing again. Just when Wan Qi Jinghou was about to make his move, the beast suddenly said: "Actually, I know what's inside the bronze box, but I don't want to tell you now. What if I tell you and then you throw me into the water? I can't swim, what would I do?"

  Wan Kui Jing Hou's face didn't look good, but he never made things difficult.

  It was already late at night, and Wen Baiyu started to feel drowsy. The sea breeze was strong, and Wan Jingshou took off his own coat to cover him with it. Wen Baiyu waved his hand and said: "I don't want it, you wear it yourself, what if you get sick?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled lightly and said, "I won't get sick."

  Wen Baiyu insisted on not doing so, and shrank to the side of Wan Jingtaihou, saying: "The two of us will squeeze together and won't be cold."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stretched out his hand to hug Wen Bai Yu, and Wen Bai Yu suddenly felt that his decision was wrong. If he wanted to snuggle, he should snuggle with Tang Zi, because Tang Zi was a grave, with high body temperature. However, Tang Zi was hugging Yu Boss and sleeping, so he definitely wouldn't snuggle with him. As for the new beast on board, it was even colder, like ceramic.

  Wan Kui Jing Hou...... is simply a mobile refrigerator!

  Two people squeezed together, Wen Baiyu felt even colder. Wan Jingshou suddenly lowered his head and said: "Baiyu."

  Wen Baiyu was called like this, and he suddenly felt a little dazed, as if it was very familiar. His uncle often called him White Feather too, but it didn't feel the same as when his uncle called him that. The familiarity rose from the deepest, most unfamiliar place in his heart, instantly flooding his brain.

  Wen Baiyu's head jerked up in surprise, and Wan Jingshou's lips had already descended. The two people's breathing was entwined together. Wen Baiyu stretched out her hand and tightly grasped the back of Wan Jingshou's clothes.

  Wen Baiyu's breathing was particularly heavy, Wan Zongjinghou smiled and his palm stretched into his clothes, Wen Baiyu let out a "hiss" sound, saying: "Too cold!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou still smiled lowly, stroking his waistline and said: "You're getting hot so quickly."

  Wen Baiyu's old face turned red in an instant, and he stuttered: "N...nonsense."

  At this moment, Wen Baiyu suddenly saw the beast lying on the boat open its eyes, a pair of red eyeballs suddenly opened, very scary, and scared Wen Baiyu to tremble.

  The beast sat up and suddenly looked into the distance, where the dark sea still had a misty atmosphere. The dimness combined with the thick fog made it impossible to see what was ahead, only a vast expanse of confusion.

  The beast suddenly retracted its playful smile and said: "Snake Mountain..."
