Chapter 55: The Ancient Tomb in Changsha

  Changsha?

  Wen Baiyu showed them the address and said: "I'll go buy tickets. Let's take the next available flight to Changsha."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded, and Wen Bai Yu asked again: "Do you need to bring any equipment?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "When we arrive at Changsha, we can prepare."

  Tang Zǐ remained silent, staring at the blood-stained box in his palm, which was Lǎo Bǎn's eye, made by Tang Zǐ himself. Now, the blood jade-made eyes were here, and he found it hard to imagine what had happened to Yǔ Wèi Yáng.

  Three people took a direct flight to Changsha, which took two and a half hours in total, but they wasted too much time at the airport.

  The main thing is, they have no purpose and don't know where to find people.

  Wen Baiyu booked a room in a hotel near the airport, and the three of them checked in first. Wen Baiyu then made two copies of the large tree photo, one for each person, before they began to cooperate separately.

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou went to the market to buy supplies, while Tang Zi went to gather information about the giant tree.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took Wen Bai Yu to ride the bus, the location was very remote, and there were almost no people on the entire street. Wen Bai Yu had never been to Changsha before and couldn't think of any names.

  Wan Jingshou was familiar with the route, getting off the bus and walking a long distance. If Wan Jingshou hadn't led the way, Wen Baiyu would have probably gotten lost.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Have you been here before?'"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said: "I've been here a few times, I always come here to buy things."

  Wen Baiyu nodded slightly, and then heard Wan Qi Jinghou say, "We've arrived."

  There is a small gatehouse by the roadside, with an old-fashioned wooden door and a pair of wooden couplets on it.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou pushed the door first, but there was a chain lock inside, and it was only opened a little. Wen Bai Yu said strangely: "Don't open the door in broad daylight?"

  "This kind of store usually doesn't receive outside guests, only those in the know come in."

  On's true expression was revealed.

  A young man came over soon, took a look at the two of them and said: "Sorry, our boss is not here today, we are closed for business today."

  He finished speaking and was about to close the door when Wan Jie Jing Hou stuck it open with one hand. The young shopkeeper glared at him, saying: "What's wrong with you..."

  He hadn't finished speaking when Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "My surname is Wan Xi."

  That young fellow thought he had heard something earth-shattering, and immediately exploded, his eyes wide with excitement. He hastily pulled out the door chain, opened the two large doors, and said: "Oh, it's Master Jing! Please come in, please come in! What would you like to buy? Sorry, sorry, our boss is really not here today. What do you want to buy? If we have it in stock, I'll take care of it for you right away. If not, I'll call the boss back immediately."

  Wen Bai's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the accountant, this guy must have practiced changing his face, his attitude changed too much, it was as if Wan Qi Jing Hou was a great Buddha.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but take a glance at Wan Kuang Jing Hou.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou then looked at Wen Bai Yu and said, "Go in."

  Two men walked in, and the young shopkeeper immediately brewed tea and brought it over, placing the tea on the tea table, smiling and saying: "What would Master Jing like to purchase?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou pushed a piece of paper onto the tea table, and the young shopkeeper picked it up to take a look. He immediately let out a sigh of relief, as these were not difficult to handle. He nodded his head and said: "Yes, yes, we have all of these. Please drink your tea, I'll be right back."

  He said, lifted the curtain and entered the back room, soon came out with a large package, packed it in a hand-held backpack, smiled and said: "Master Jing, all is well, not one missing, please check."

  Wan Xi Jinghou didn't respond, and instead took out a photo of the tree, saying: "Do you recognize this tree?"

  The young man took a look, looked for a long time, and smiled: "Master Jing, I really know this one. I think all the local folks in Changsha know it. It's said to be a divine tree, and there are many ancient tombs in that area. However, no one dares to go in because it's a primitive forest and very eerie. No one who goes in comes out, Master Jing, do you want to go to this place?

  Wen Baiyu heard this and suddenly felt there was a way in.

  That young fellow gave them a detailed account of the location, which was extremely remote, at least half a day's drive away. The place was mountainous and wooded, and had recently experienced heavy rainfall, so the road conditions were likely to be poor, making it uncertain whether they could arrive within half a day.

  It's a very large forest, next to the village where the Tujia people live. The whole area is inhabited by traditional Tujia villagers. The young man said that few people there speak Mandarin, they all speak the Tujia language. If they didn't have a guide in the past, it would be difficult to enter the forest.

  However, few people are willing to enter that forest, and even fewer guides who understand Mandarin are willing to lead the way.

  Anyway, Wen Baiyu and others gained a lot, not only did they get equipment, but also found the specific location.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou paid the money and took Wen Bai Yu away with him.

  They returned to the hotel just in time to see Tang Zi coming back. Tang Zi drove a car and didn't get out of the vehicle, saying: "I have some clues, get in."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou carried his luggage onto the car, and Wen Bai Yu followed, saying: "We also have a bit of a clue now."

  Three people met, and indeed, as the young man said, this tree is quite distinctive. The old tree is very large, with a lush canopy, and most importantly, many vines are entwined around its trunk, circling around it. This kind of tree leaves a deep impression on people, as if being bound by something.

  Tang Zikai drove, the road was very difficult to walk, and later there was almost no road, and he had to drive up the mountain. The road was all muddy, and the car was like it had been rolled in a mud pit. Because the road was so difficult to navigate, they drove from noon until nightfall.

  Wen Baiyu glanced at her watch, it was already past eight o'clock. The sky had darkened and it started raining again outside, with dense raindrops falling down, making the weather cool down instantly, which also made the mood of the three people very depressed.

  Tangzi seems to be in a hurry, it's obvious from the start, and he takes corners very aggressively, which is not like Tangzi's style at all. Maybe it's because of the rain, or maybe Tangzi has always been hiding his true nature, not wanting to scare others off. The hidden anxiety and impatience have made him unable to hide it anymore.

  Wen Baiyu's tense gaze was fixed on what lay ahead, and he suddenly said, "There's light, is that a village?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou also saw it, furrowed his brow and said: "It's not lamplight, it's firelight."

  As they drew closer, they saw a large crowd of people gathered ahead, all wearing rain capes due to the heavy downpour. The capes clustered together, resembling a continuous range of small hills, creating a magnificent sight. These people were surrounding a stone platform similar to an altar, and on top of it stood a person who wasn't wearing a rain cape, making strange movements that looked like they were dancing.

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, and finally felt that this person was performing a ritual dance, with words of incantation in his mouth, behind him was a raging fire, and the surrounding people were all devoutly worshiping.

  "What's going on here?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It should be a villager, Tujia people have the custom of driving out ghosts with shamans."

  Those people dispersed quickly, and Wen Baiyu and his group had to find a place to stay overnight. More importantly, they needed to enter the forest and find a guide.

  Tang Zikai drove to a household, got out of the car and asked if he could stay overnight. However, when he knocked on the door, the person who opened it did not speak the same language as him. None of the three people present spoke Tujia, so they really couldn't understand what was being said.

  Tang Zi didn't wear a raincoat, nor did he carry an umbrella. He got soaked to the bone, but there was no way around it. At this time, an old man walked by from the side, wearing a straw rain cape, probably just finished attending the ritual ceremony, and said: "In this village, not many people understand Chinese."

  The old man was quite hospitable, surnamed Tian, and took the three of them to his home.

  Tian Lao's family has three sons, but none of them are here, all have gone to the city to work. Because of his sons, Tian Lao can speak some Chinese, although not very fluently, but after thinking for a while, he can say it out loud, and there is no problem communicating with him.

  Three people's clothes were all wet, took out their own luggage and started changing clothes, Old Tian was very hospitable to prepare dinner for them.

  Wen Baiyu took out the photo and said, "Old man, do you recognize this tree?"

  Tian Lao Tou nodded slightly and then waved his hand vigorously again. They looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what he meant. Tian Lao Tou said: "Can't go, can't go."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Why can't we go?"

  The old man said: "This tree... has ghosts."

  Wen Baiyu thought to herself, if there weren't any ghosts, they wouldn't go either.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'We have a friend who came over here a few days ago, got lost later, and the last message he sent us was this photo. This time we came to find someone. If you know this tree, please tell us.'"

  The old man thought for a moment and said: "There really are ghosts, many people went in but didn't come out."

  He paused and said: "Your friend probably..."

  He shook his head with some regret, indicating that there were more disasters than blessings, and Tang Zi's mouth was immediately shut.

  "Excuse me, do you know if there's anyone around here who could be our guide? Someone who speaks Chinese and can enter the forest?"

  The old man in the field shook his head and said: "It's raining so heavily, no one dares to enter the mountain, afraid of accidents. The fog is thick in the forest, it's easy to get lost, and this tree has ghosts..."

  He shook his head as he spoke, seemingly also worried, and for a moment couldn't think of who could be the guide.

  The old man in the field thought for a moment, then suddenly knocked on the table and said, "Someone."

  "Wen Baiyu immediately asked: 'Who is he? Where does he live?'"

  The old man in the field looked worried again and said, "Alas, but this person has a bad temper..."

  Wen Baiyu listened and seemed to understand, saying: "Is your temper bad?"

  The old man nodded and said, "He's not from our village, he's an outsider, speaks Mandarin better than me... but he has a very strange temper, rarely talks to others... He's got guts, someone saw him come out of the forest behind the mountain... Now that it's raining every day, if anyone is willing to take you in, it would be him."

  The old man said, and repeated: "He has a very strange temper, you go try your luck."

  Wen Baiyu didn't know what kind of temperament he was talking about, could it be that he was a transcendent being, so his temperament was very strange?

  The old man in the field pointed the way for them, and they still had some distance to go. The person was very unsociable and not a local, although he could speak the local dialect, but his personality was very introverted, many people wanted to make friends with him, but all ended in vain.

  Tang Zi couldn't sit still and bid farewell while it was still dark. The three of them got on the car and headed in the direction that Old Tian had said.

  It took only five minutes after starting up and we arrived at that small building.

  It's also a Tujia hanging house, but it looks very simple and crude. There is a small courtyard in front of it, which should be planted with vegetables, but the heavy rain in recent days has drowned all the vegetables to death.

  There was only one household in the vicinity, and as they opened the gate, they saw a person wearing a raincoat sitting alone in the courtyard, quietly sitting there, and it was unknown whether he was going to become an immortal or not. On this rainy day, his raincoat had long been soaked through.

  Tang Zi stopped the car and Old Tian said that person's name was Gan Zhu, even his name sounded strange.

  They turned off the car and got out of the vehicle. Wen Baiyu said: "Hello, is it Gan Zhuo Lao..."

  Wen Baiyu listened to Old Man Tian for half a day, feeling that he was an extraordinary person from the outside world, and since he spoke little, he should be the white-bearded old man in martial arts films. As a result, before he had finished speaking, the person wearing the raincoat lifted his head.

  Wen Baiyu was startled, this person looked very young, about the same age as himself, not over thirty years old, if he had shouted "old master" just now, he would have been done for.

  That person saw them, stood up, turned around and went into the house. Wen Baiyu was stunned. This person really wasn't easy to get along with, how could he just leave without saying a word?

  Then a voice came from inside the house and said: "Come in."

  Three people quickly entered the house, which was also very simple. After entering, Wen Baiyu felt a strange atmosphere that didn't seem like the Tujia ethnic group's decorations, it was a bit weird.

  Gan Zhu took off his raincoat, and Wen Baiyu looked even more clearly. He was in his early twenties, very young, tall and strong, dressed simply, with a cold face, expressionless, just sitting at the table.

  He made Wen Baiyu a little embarrassed, then quickly took out the photos and said: "We want to enter the forest behind the mountain, can you help us guide the way?"

  Gan Zhu picked up the photo and took a look, then flipped it over to read the words on the back. He furrowed his brow and said in an unchanging tone of indifference, "Do you know what's inside this tree?"

  Wen Baiyu was stunned by his question and truly didn't know. He had heard from Hun Dun that he had a physical body, but Hun Dun's words were ambiguous, so Wen Baiyu wasn't sure either.

  Before they could respond, Gan Zhu said: "We'll set off at dawn tomorrow."

  As soon as he finished speaking, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Gan Zhu said his piece and walked away without looking back, going upstairs to the second floor.

  Wen Baihe and they were on the first floor, Tang Zi couldn't sleep, he was worried about Yu Wei Yang, although they would set off early tomorrow morning, but didn't know what would happen tonight.

  Wen Baiyu saw Tang Zi repeatedly rubbing the blood box in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh, saying: "Don't worry, if someone has caught Yu Lao Ban to let us pass, it means that before we arrived, Yu Lao Ban is definitely fine."

  Tang Zid nodded and said: "But the other party's methods are ruthless, I'm afraid Boss Yu will suffer, he's just an ordinary person, all his life he has never suffered such hardships."

  Wen Baiyu was also frightened by this thought, how could someone be so ruthless, and suddenly dig out someone's eyes.

  One night, Tang Zidou didn't sleep, Wen Baiyu was a bit tired and soon fell asleep on the table. Wan Kuang Jinghou covered him with his own clothes and leaned against the chair, seemingly thinking about something, and he also didn't sleep all night.

  When the sky was slightly bright, there was a movement upstairs. Gan Zhu had come down from the second floor. He didn't bring anything with him, but carried a weapon wrapped in black cloth on his back. The shape looked very strange, and the handle seemed to be very long, it was unknown what it looked like.

  Gan Zong said very little, just: "Leave."

  Wen Baiyu immediately woke up and was still a bit disoriented, Tangzi had already followed first, Wan Xizhou carried the luggage and pulled Wen Baiyu to follow.

  Four people entered the mountain. The back of the mountain was very cold. At first, there were just a lot of weeds because it had rained yesterday and the ground was muddy. The air was full of fog.

  "Follow closely."

  After walking for about ten or twenty minutes, a forest appeared in front of me, shrouded in mist, looking very mysterious.

  Gan Zhu stopped in his tracks and said, "It will take about two days to get through the entire forest. The tree mound you're looking for is in the middle of the forest. If you hurry, you can make it there before sunset today."

  He said that they had to go deeper, because everyone was in a hurry, so their pace wasn't slow. Along the way, there were many insects, after all, it was a primitive forest. However, Wen Baiyu discovered something strange - those insects seemed to be very afraid of Gan Zhuo. As soon as Gan Zhuo walked by, the insects would immediately scatter, just like they were escaping for their lives.

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Jijinghou walked behind, Wen Baiyu pulled Wan Jijinghou and said: "Don't you think this person is strange? Look at those insects not biting him."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said, "In the old days, there was a kind of person who would eat all sorts of medicine from childhood, and use medicine to soak and marinate. When they grew up, their blood had already been infused with these medicines, so their blood was naturally medicinal, but also toxic. Gan Zhu should be this kind of person."

  "Wen Baiyu was shocked and said: "Ah? Is it the medicine man I saw in martial arts novels?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said, "Similar, but this kind of person has to suffer a lot. In the very early days, there were no more medicine people, at most using bought slaves or prisoners of war as medicine people."

  Wen Baiyu said: "This is also quite cruel."

  They walked further in, and the fog grew thicker. Wen Baiyu could hardly see her own feet, the fog made her eyebrows wet, she opened her eyes wide to grope around, shouting: "Wan Kuang Jing Hou?"

  He shouted twice, and suddenly someone grabbed his hand. Wen Baiyu let out a sigh of relief instantly, although he couldn't see, but the feeling should be Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  As expected, he heard Wan Gui Jing Hou's voice saying: "Catch me."

  Wen Baiyu nodded vigorously, but then felt that Wan Jie Jinghou couldn't see him, so he responded with a sound. Wan Jie Jinghou pulled him forward several steps.

  Suddenly, a loud roar of "Hoooo!" was heard, and Wen Baiyu was pushed away. He fell to the ground with a thud, but when he got up, he couldn't see anyone around him. The surroundings were filled with thick fog, making it impossible to distinguish east, south, west or north.

  Wen Baiyu had a bag on his back, with necessary equipment inside. He quickly took out his mobile phone, hoping there was a signal in this place.

  Wen Baiyu took out her phone and saw that although the place was remote, there was still a weak signal. She quickly called Wan Qi Jinghou, just as she did, another loud "roar" sounded.

  Then the thick fog rolled up quickly, as if it was stirred by some kind of airflow, and something rushed towards them.

  Wen Baiyu's hind legs moved unconsciously, and a flower-spotted thing rushed out of the thick fog. Wen Baiyu shouted loudly and turned to run.

  What the hell, there's still a tiger!

  Wen Baiyu's white feathers fluttered as she ran swiftly, the tiger with four legs chasing behind her. The tiger's massive body was much faster than Wen Baiyu, and it didn't know if it was because this forest had no one entering that the tiger couldn't help but bare its teeth and chase after Wen Baiyu with gleaming eyes.

  Wen Baiyu shouted "bad luck" and suddenly bumped into something with a "bang". The phone in his hand fell off, making a few "gulugulu" sounds as it rolled into the thick fog and disappeared from sight.

  Wen Baiyu was dizzy and disoriented from the collision, but she only thought of running away. The fog was too thick, and she crashed into a tree.

  Wen Bai Yu crawled forward a few times, reached out to touch her phone, but the fog was too thick. Although she saw it rolling in this direction, she couldn't find it at all.

  Wen Baiyu's heart was anxious, cold sweat dripping down, the tiger behind him had already arrived, "Roar!" A loud roar, a hungry charge.

  Wen Baiyu was so frightened that he suddenly jumped up, hugged the tree trunk and climbed up desperately.

  The tiger scratched a few times on the tree trunk, then gathered its strength, and its bounce was particularly good. Wen Baiyu felt that it had touched his own feet.

  Fortunately, Wen Baiyu was best at climbing trees, and with a few whooshing sounds, he climbed up to look at the tiger below.

  That tiger jumped up, its paws grasping the tree trunk, and then it continued to climb up. Wen Baiyu's heart was racing, this damn tiger could climb trees, although not very agile, but it absolutely couldn't be kept at bay, it would always manage to climb up.

  Wen Baiyu was in a hurry, broke off a branch and threw it at the tiger, but that was no different from scratching the tiger's itch. The tiger was enraged by Wen Baiyu, and the branch hit the tiger's eyes. The tiger's paw moved, and with a "bang", it smashed to the ground, several hundred kilograms of weight fell to the ground, and suddenly there were some scattered limbs.

  The tiger let out a mighty roar and then grasped the tree trunk with its front paws, suddenly standing upright and shaking the tree violently.

  Wen Baiyu felt the tree swaying again, this tree was not thick, and didn't know how long it could hold on.

  Wen Baiyu hastily opened his backpack and frantically searched inside, finding food, water, surveying equipment, a shovel, but no weapons. His only weapon was the phoenix bone dagger in his pocket, but once he threw it, it would be gone. If he didn't throw it accurately, he would be dead for sure.

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment about his chances of killing a tiger with a dagger and finally felt that it was simply impossible!

  Just as Wen Baiyu was rummaging through her backpack, she suddenly heard the sound of "Ka Ka Ka, Ka Ka Ka, Ka Ka" coming from the top of her own head.

  The white feathers on the back of her neck suddenly tightened, and she felt a chill run down her spine. What was making that noise on top of her head?

  Snake?

  This sound was short and crisp, and it didn't sound like a snake either. Could it be some unknown monster?

  Wen Baiyu's brain was spinning rapidly, and suddenly she felt a "click" as if something had fallen onto her back.

  Wen Baiyu drummed up the courage to stretch out her hand and touch it, still warm to the touch. She brought it in front of her eyes and took a look, only to find that it was blood!

  There was blood dripping from his head.

  Wen Baiyu didn't dare to look up, and with a "slap" sound, something else fell into Wen Baiyu's collar. Wen Baiyu mustered up the courage to reach in and feel around again. This time it wasn't ***, but rather a hard object that was slightly curved and thin like a shell.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, could it be a beetle? Would it be poisonous?

  He gritted his teeth and pinched the "worm" tightly, bringing it in front of his eyes for a closer look.

  "Damn it!"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly shouted, and it turned out to be half a shell of an open-heart fruit!

  Wen Baiyu was chased by a ferocious tiger in the eerie and dense foggy forest, and had no choice but to climb up a tree to save his life. As a result, a shell of a happy fruit fell from his neck, Wen Baiyu didn't think this tree could bear happy fruits.

  He's just teasing him.

  "Knock knock knock, knock knock knock, knock knock knock......"

  That voice was still thinking, Wen Baiyu raised his head and stared upwards. It turned out that he had climbed the tree too hastily just now and hadn't noticed that there were other people on this tree. Not far away from him, a man sat cross-legged on a branch, cracking melon seeds with a "crack crack crack" sound. After finishing the melon seeds, he took out a handful of peanuts from his pocket, cracked them open with a "crack" sound, and then casually threw the shells down.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The person who always has a big pile of dried fruits in his pocket, who else can it be but the creator of chaos!

  Wen Baiyu almost wanted to rush up and strangle him, but upon closer inspection, Hun Dun's movements were leisurely, but his entire body was covered in blood, with a large piece of skin scraped off his face, and he looked nothing like the creamy young master, extremely disheveled, with even a white bone exposed on his leg...

  Wen Baiyu was stunned for a moment, the tiger below was still struggling and shaking violently. Wen Baiyu held onto the branch tightly and shouted: "Hey!"

  Hun Dun was peeling a pomegranate, looked down and burst out laughing, saying: "Oh, it's you."

  He smiled, and the wound on his face squeezed out blood, which dripped onto Wen Baiyu's upturned face with a "plop".

  Wen Baiyu hastily wiped away the blood, and Hun Dun didn't know if it was due to pain insensitivity or not, but his legs were exposed to the bone, his face was covered in wounds, his clothes were soaked with blood, his complexion was deathly pale, yet he still peeled open a heart fruit to eat.

  "Roar——"

  The tiger crashed into the tree for half a day and started to get tired. It walked around under the tree several times, then began to climb up again. It jumped very high, and Wen Baiyu exclaimed "holy crap!" as he saw the tiger jump once more, suddenly grabbing onto the lowest branch with its paws wrapped around it, its two hind legs straining to push upwards, seemingly trying to climb up.

  Wen Baiyu was so scared that she couldn't move, and hurriedly used her hands and feet to climb up again. She climbed to the side of Hun Dun and said: "What are you doing here? Weren't you caught by someone?"

  Hun Dun peeled the happy fruit, this time not throwing it away casually, but instead looked down with his eyes cast down, stretched out his hand and threw it, and suddenly heard a loud roar "ROAR!!!!" The old tiger suddenly fell off the branch and crashed to the ground with a thud.

  Wen Baiyu was shocked, and saw a patch of fresh blood on the ground. The tiger's eyeball had been knocked out by Hun Dun using an olive pit shell. Wen Baiyu watched as the eyeball rolled around on the ground.

  The tiger was in agony, letting out a frenzied roar, shaking its head wildly on the ground, and then "slap" with one paw, it crushed its own eyeball.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  "Rustle, rustle, rustle......"

  Hun Dun finished eating melon seeds and happy fruit, then started rubbing peanuts. A pile of red clothes and shredded skin fluttered down from the big tree, looking very calm.

  Hun Dun was shoving peanuts into his mouth while saying, "Yeah, I don't know who tied me up either. Just look at my appearance and you'll know, this time I've suffered a great loss."

  He said, still moving his leg, the white bone exposed outside, seemingly fractured, with blood and flesh blurred together, making Wen Bai Yu feel nauseous. "Don't move... don't move..."

  Hun Dun said: "I'm running away, I don't have a physical body, and I basically can't beat him."

  "Him?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Who is he? The one who tied you up, did he also tie up a man in his twenties who looks refined and has a bookish air?"

  Hun Dun said: "I don't know who he is, but he looks evil, a sly one."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly shouted: "Skin! Huoyan's skin?!"

  Hun Dun continued: "Indeed there is such a person as you mentioned, and he seems to be blind."

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat as soon as he heard it. When Hun Dun met Yu Wei Yang, Yu Wei Yang's eyes had already been dug out.

  Hun Dun spread his hands and said: "I don't know anything else, I also escaped."

  He said, looking at Wen Baiyu, and then said: "But I know one thing."

  "What?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Hun said, "That person only has skin, no bones. Without bones, it's impossible to gather the yin and yang energies. This skin must be looking for a skeleton that can support it. In this vicinity, there is only the Tree Tomb, where my physical body resides."

  Wen Baiyu listened and somewhat understood that the Fire Demon's bones were shattered in the Huojing Temple, his skin was looking for a substitute bone, and Hun Dun being an ancient ferocious beast, his bones were naturally the best choice.

  Wen Baiyu still didn't understand, Huo Mo had tied up Yu Wenyang and brought them all here, what was the point of it? Besides the physical body of Chaos, what else did he want?

  Just then, a loud roar, the tiger because of being blinded, was completely enraged inside, although the movement of climbing trees was still clumsy, but it climbed extremely fast.

  Wen Baiyu was shocked and pointed down, shouting: "Dumplings! Quick! Quick hit it, it's crawling up!"

  Hun Dun was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing and said, "Why do you always call me Jiao Zi?"

  He said, just opened a peanut, then went "pa" and hit it over.

  The peanut hit the tiger's forehead like a steel ball, and it actually sank in, instantly punching out a blood hole. The tiger flew off the tree with a "thud" and fell into the thick fog, disappearing from sight.

  Wen Baiyu looked at Hun Dun in surprise, and Hun Dun shook his head regretfully, saying: "What a waste of a peanut! If only I had kept some happy fruit shells."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The tiger was knocked flying, but soon came back. This time it seemed to have learned its lesson and just circled around the tree, doing nothing, occasionally letting out a low growl, as if trying to waste their time.

  Wen Baiyu saw that Hun Dun's face was pale, although the other party looked very nonchalant, but if he continued to lose blood like this, he didn't know if he would die.

  Wen Baiyu quickly took out the emergency medicine box from her backpack and treated Hun Dun's facial wounds. The wounds were deep, with flesh turned inside out, and had many dirty things stuck in them. Wen Baiyu didn't know how Hun Dun had managed to escape, but looking at these wounds, it was a bit too tragic.

  Hun Dun didn't feel any pain, instead his cheeks were bulging as he ate. After finishing the food in his pocket, Wen Baiyu let out a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally run out of snacks. But then Hun Dun pulled out a large bag from his bosom, filled with all sorts of dried fruits and snacks, tore open the packaging, and stuffed them into his mouth.

  Wen Baiyu: "...... Don't you feel pain?"

  Hun Dun shook his head, then nodded and said, "It hurts."

  Wen Baiyu said: "You're still not being honest, your leg bones are dislocated, I don't know how to set bones, what can be done?"

  Hun Dun looked down at the twisted leg, then handed a snack package to Wen Bai Yu. He reached out and pressed on the bone with a "crack... crunch" sound, and the bone was reset for Wen Bai Yu.

  Wen Baiyu's teeth chattered with fear, Hun Dun took back the snack pack, his hands still covered in blood, and began to peel a fresh pomelo, stuffing it into his own mouth.

  "A long, long time ago, I didn't have seven orifices, nor did I have senses. The two characters 'Hun Dun' represent darkness and nothingness. My life was a blur. When I lost my physical body, I actually felt a bit excited. As an ordinary person, I could experience these feelings, and I thought myself quite lucky. Perhaps the feeling of pain is painful for others, but for me it's a real experience. Maybe one day when I become that orifice-less Hun Dun again, it can serve as a memory."

  Wen Baiyu thought of Wan Kuangjing's words and said: "You were doing well as a human, why did you suddenly want to find your physical body?"

  Hun Dun glanced at him and said: "It's not that I want to find, it's that piece of skin that's looking for me. If my physical body is taken away by him, I'll be gone."

  Hun Dun said, spitting out the longan pit, and then started cracking melon seeds again, saying: "Then you can't eat anything, nor watch movies."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu said: "May I ask you a question?"

  Hun Dun looked at him and hinted that he should speak.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Why do you want to be an actor?"

  Hun Dun's eyes sparkled as he smiled and said, "Many people chase after you and shout that they like you, it feels especially fresh. Unlike when I was a fierce beast, everyone avoided me, but fans would send me delicious food."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Two people sat on the tree for a while, and the tiger was frightened, circling under the tree. Wen Baiyu was also sleepy, and the tiger finally couldn't hold on and turned around to leave.

  Wen Baiyu wanted to go down, but Hun Dun said: "The animals here are very cunning, let's wait a little longer."

  He had just spoken when he saw the tiger turn its head and come back. The mixed-race man said, "I've been in this forest for a day now, and tigers are already considered to be the most docile animals."

  "What else is there?"

  Hun Dun said: "There are still many ferocious beasts in this forest, and there is also a Silver Lingzi."

  Wen Baiyu remembered that Yīn Língzǐ was a firefly, but it was good at deceiving people. He didn't expect that there would be such things in this forest, no wonder nobody could get out.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but feel a little worried about Wan Jingshou, and wondered if those three people had gotten separated.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Why did you choose your own grave in this place?"

  "Who says this is my own grave? Ancient ferocious beasts have a long lifespan, but no one would build a tomb for themselves. This is ridiculous."

  "Isn't this your grave? Then why is your physical body inside?"

  Many people like to hunt fierce beasts, just like the ancient ancestors liked to hunt Xianglong. The Xianglong was almost extinct during the time of Emperor Yao and Shun. They all thought that these fierce beasts had strange powers, such as their evil spirits could calm down all evil, or their bones, oil, or wings were extremely precious. Although in many people's eyes, fierce beasts and gods are much more powerful than ordinary humans, humans always have their own wisdom, they can create gods, and also have ways to destroy gods.

  "So, you were caught and locked in a tomb?"

  Hun Dun reluctantly nodded his head, seemingly feeling a bit embarrassed.

  The tiger kept circling under the tree for another half hour, and Wen Baiyu was getting impatient. "Do you know where that tree is?" he asked. "I got separated from Wan Kuang."

  Chaos contained plum blossoms and said: "When I was buried with the emperor, it should have been two thousand years ago. It's been so many years that I don't remember very clearly."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Didn't you escape yesterday?'"

  Hun Dun laughed and said, "Everyone only knows that the ancient tomb is in a tree hole, but no one knows where the specific tree hole is. If that Pi really knew, why would he catch me? I took him on a wild goose chase and escaped."

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit disappointed, and Hun Dun said: "Your man has also arrived? Then let's hurry up and find that tree hole, to dig out my physical body."

  Wen Baiyu's heart was filled with a burst of resentment, what kind of man are you?

  The tiger kept swaying back and forth, but eventually lost patience and really left this time.

  Wen Baiyu and Hun Dun came down from the tree, Wen Baiyu quickly lay on the ground to find her mobile phone, and as a result, she found it, but it had been trampled and broken, the screen was completely shattered, and pressing the power button didn't work.

  It's all set now, there's no way to contact Wan Xi Jing Hou, the only hope is to gather at the tree hole.

  Wen Baiyu and Hun Dun walked forward together. Wen Baiyu asked him to think carefully, although it had been more than two thousand years, but there should be a little impression.

  Hun Dun thought for half a day and said: "A big tree."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The fog in the mountain forest was very thick, and at noon the sun gradually rose, dispersing some of the fog, but it was still hazy, though not to the point where you couldn't see your feet.

  Chaos walked and ate at the same time, constantly making "Ka Ka Ka, Shua Shua Shua" sounds, which were extremely terrifying in the quiet mountains.

  Wen Baiyu turned her head and said, "You're always eating."

  Hun Dun said: "It doesn't matter, I always carry a lot with me."

  He said, and then pulled out a snack pack from his inner pocket, gesturing for Wen Baiyu to see.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  After walking for a whole morning, Wen Baiyu listened to him eating all the way and felt hungry too. So the two of them picked a place to sit down and eat something.

  Wen Baiyu took out a compressed biscuit and nibbled on it, but after two bites, she found it tasteless. Her mind was still worried about Wan Kuang Jing Hou. This forest is so big, and she didn't know if the three of them would get separated.

  Hun Dun saw him sigh and said: "Missing your man?"

  Wen Baiyu was momentarily speechless, and he indeed thought of Wan Jinhou.

  Hun Dun smiled slyly and said: "Ah, feelings are really good, I also want to fall in love."

  Wen Baiyu said: "With your appetite, who would dare to marry you? You'd eat someone into bankruptcy."

  Chaos patted his own belly and said: "My requirements are very low, whatever you give me to eat, I won't be picky, and I can take care of myself."

  Two people ate something, Wen Baiyu didn't dare stay too long and got up to leave.

  After noon, the fog began to thicken again, and the sky became overcast, as if brewing a heavy rain.

  Wen Baiyu was afraid of getting separated, so she took out a rope from her backpack and handed one end to Hun Dun. The two people were tied at the waist, the rope was not short, they could move freely and wouldn't get lost. Wen Baiyu thought she was really too clever.

  The two of them walked for a long time again, and Wen Baiyu said: "Do you know the way or not?"

  Hun Dun shook his head and suddenly pointed ahead. Wen Baiyu didn't know what he saw, but in front of him was a vast expanse of thick fog, nothing could be seen clearly.

  Hun Dun said: "There is no way."

  "What? No way?"

  He quickened his pace by two steps, and the rope pulled along with Hundun also moved forward. Just then, they saw a tall stone rock in front of them, which indeed blocked the way. If they wanted to continue moving forward, they had to climb up and flip over it.

  Wen Baiyu took out the compass and looked at it, saying that Gan Zhu was in the due south direction. If they wanted to go to the due south direction, they would have to take this road. The mountain was not high, but very steep, with many protruding rocks on its surface, which could barely be climbed.

  Wen Baiyu took one look and got a headache, saying: "You have so many wounds on your body, can you crawl?"

  Hun Dun stuffed a dried plum into his mouth, then put the snack pack back in his clothes' inner pocket, carefully patted it, made sure it was packed well, and nodded: "I'll try."

  He said, exercising his wrist, then suddenly sprinting two steps forward, using the protruding rock to push himself up, and leaping into the air, looking very light, grabbing the rock above.

  "What the...?!"

  Wen Baiyu was still climbing up, when the rope around his waist suddenly tightened. He looked up to see Hundun had climbed very high, and their rope wasn't short, yet it was still tight. Wen Baiyu was pulled upwards, almost choking to death.

  "Wan Baiyu shouted upwards: 'Climb slower!'"

  Hun Dun slowed down a bit, Wen Baiyu panted and climbed up, his fingernails were all scratched off, and blood was flowing out. He turned his head to look, Hun Dun had one hand grasping the rock, and with the other hand, he took out a individually packaged dried plum from his pocket, then used his teeth to tear it open, stuffed it into his mouth, and threw away the packaging paper.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu saw that he was covered in blood, but he was leisurely eating hawthorn, and suddenly the whole person was not good, saying: "Don't litter..."

  The two of them climbed up with great difficulty, Wen Baiyu was almost fainting, and when they reached the top of the mountain, they collapsed to the ground gasping for air.

  Hun Dun stood up, raised his hand to block the only sunlight, looked far away, took a deep breath and said: "It's going to rain."

  Wen Baiyu also stood up and looked into the distance. As soon as he did, he felt dizzy and his vision blurred. In his heart, he exclaimed, "Oh my god!"

  They had just climbed up from the foot of the mountain, and this hilltop was not enough to turn around, and they had to climb down from the mountain again. Below was still a forest, but because they were standing high, Wen Baiyu pointed to the distance and shouted loudly: "Look! That tree! That tree!"

  Chaos also looked back, a towering tree stood out in the midst of the dense forest, that tree was really too tall and large, like a crane standing among chickens.

  Wen Baiyu pulled out a photo from her pocket, which was taken in a level view, but judging by the appearance, it should be okay.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly looked like he had been injected with chicken blood, glanced at the sky and said: "Let's hurry up, we'll be able to meet up with them soon."

  Hun Dun clapped his hands without dissent, grabbed the rock first, jumped down, and looked at Wen Baiyu with a frightened heart. His movements were very elegant, like filming a movie, stepping on the protruding rocks with both feet, then stretching out to grab the rocks, crawling down little by little.

  Wen Baiyu also followed down.

  Going down the mountain is more dangerous than going up, although it saves energy, but the whole body is tense, and the rocks on this side are flatter than the other side, not so protruding. Wen Baiyu walked a few steps, his whole body felt uncomfortable, and his calf started to cramp.

  "Whoosh——"

  Something flew over Wen Baiyu's head.

  Wen Baiyu was startled and looked up, but there was nothing. Was it just a bird flying by?

  Wen Baiyu was a bit strange, and Hun Dun shouted from below: "Wen Baiyu, hurry up, don't be distracted."

  Wen Baiyu lowered her head to take a look, feeling a bit dizzy. The dense fog had already enveloped them, and the ropes tied around their bodies were now taut.

  Wen Baiyu hastily climbed down a couple of steps again, and there was another "whoosh" sound. Something flew over his head.

  Wen Baiyu quickly lifted her head and saw a black shadow, similar to a bat.

  Wen Baiyu's heart tightened as he stared at the massive object, which seemed even larger than his own body. If it were to collide with him, wouldn't that be equivalent to falling directly off the mountain?

  Wen Baiyu quickly accelerated his speed downwards. After climbing down for a while, he suddenly heard the voice of Chaos say: "Huh? There's a hole here?"

  "Whoosh——"

  It was that black shadow flying over again, but this time it flew directly from Wen Baiyu's side, a huge gust of wind came, and Wen Baiyu grasped the rock tightly, almost being blown away.

  That black shadow dove down directly, and Wen Baiyu felt the rope around her waist suddenly tighten. Wen Baiyu let out a loud "ah" and grabbed onto the rock wall, being pulled down desperately by the rope.

  Wen Baiyu shouted in her heart, "No!", was that giant bat going to attack Hun Dun? She and Hun Dun were tied together, if Hun Dun fell down, she would definitely be dragged down with him.

  Wen Baiyu grasped the rock wall tightly, the rope tied around his waist, and he continued to fall down. The tightness made Wen Baiyu breathe heavily, but suddenly, the rope loosened, and Wen Baiyu let out a sigh of relief.

  Then he started climbing down again, and indeed saw the hole that Hun Dun had mentioned.

  The rope went all the way into the cave, Wen Baiyu felt a bit strange, had Hun Dun gone in?

  His hands were covered in blood and he was really tired. There was still a third of the mountain left to descend, so it was just right to rest here for a while.

  Wen Baiyu grabbed onto the rock wall with both hands and swung himself into the cave, rolling to absorb the impact.

  It was strange that the rope actually dragged on the ground, and as Wen Baiyu walked forward, the rope dragged more and more, until finally saw the other end of the rope.

  Wen Baiyu quickly picked it up, and Hundun disappeared!

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a bit tense, with his confused movements, what was it that made him have to untie the rope?

  The space inside the cave is not large, it's quiet and still all around, in front of me is a vast darkness, I don't know what's inside.

  Wen Baiyu took a deep breath, pulled out the flashlight from her backpack, turned it on, and then simultaneously took out the phoenix bone dagger from her pocket, placing it in front of her chest, slowly walking inside.

  "Wooo——"

  A faint sound seemed to come from the entrance of the cave, and a gust of wind blew onto Wen Baiyu's back, making him feel a chill run down his spine as a cold air rushed in.

  Wen Baiyu had a faint feeling that something was off, and immediately turned back, shining her flashlight.

  Behind him stood a woman!

  The flashlight's intense white light shone on her face, and Wen Baiyu let out a loud "ah".

  The woman was surprisingly naked, with long hair scattered around her waist, a slender waist and a curvaceous figure. She looked to be in her thirties or older, but had a mature and voluptuous physique, with a flirtatious expression on her face.

  Wen Baiyu took a step back, frightened by the sudden appearance of a sleek woman in this desolate mountain wilderness. She wasn't a ghost or a monster, although she was quite good-looking. However, Wen Baiyu had already been trained to think that no one was as handsome as Wan Jinhong...

  The woman let out a "heh heh" laugh, and her two pale arms suddenly wrapped around him, sending Wen Baiyu tumbling to the ground with a thud.

  Wen Baiyu's back was padded with a backpack, but his head still "thudded" and he felt dizzy.

  The woman pressed down on his hand, and Wen Baiyu felt that he was not weak either. The woman's strength was extremely great, and with one hand, she pinned down both of his hands, just like a nail, without moving at all.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened in terror as the woman chuckled and said, "How delightful little brother, do you want to have some fun with sister?"

  Wen Baiyu immediately shook his head, shaking like a rattle drum. The woman laughed again, her laughter making Wen Baiyu's hair stand on end. He blinked, and suddenly saw that the woman had grown a pair of wings on her back - to be precise, bat wings.

  Huge wings sprouted out, and Wen Baiyu was shocked with wide eyes. It turned out that the black shadow she saw earlier was this woman.

  The wings were too big, the width of the cave was not enough, the woman rolled up her wings and slipped under Wen Baiyu's body, rolling tighter and tighter, laughing and saying: "Such a delicious little brother, it's going to get dark, you don't want to do something fun with your sister, then your sister can only eat you as a snack."

  The wings were folded tighter and tighter, the warm white feathers almost suffocating, the woman lowered her head, revealing the fangs in her mouth.

  Wen Baiyu's hands were clenched into fists, holding a flashlight and a dagger, staring at the woman's mouth which had stretched to its limits, her face suddenly ferocious, as if she was about to bite his head off directly.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly bent his elbow and punched upwards with great force.

  "Ah!!"

  The woman let out a scream as her fist struck her abdomen, and she felt a sharp pain, causing her to loosen her grip.

  Wen Baiyu was kicked open by one foot, crawled forward twice, wanting to get up from the ground. "Whoosh---" A sound came from behind, and the double wings pressed down on Wen Baiyu again.

  Wen Baiyu raised his arm, and with a swift slash of his dagger, he turned around.

  The woman let out a loud "Ahhh!!!" as one of her wings was slashed by Wen Baiyu's sword, causing her to scream in agony.

  The woman seemed to be enraged, gritting her teeth and flapping her wings with all her might. A strong gust of wind suddenly came, blowing Wen Baiyu over, rolling him down into the depths of the cave. The cave was actually downward-facing, and Wen Baiyu rolled in instantly, unable to stop himself, "Boom" crashing into something.

  Wen Baiyu took a look and it was actually Hun Dun.

  Chaos sat on the ground covered in blood and spat out a mouthful of blood, saying: "You've also fallen down, how unlucky."

  As he spoke, something suddenly flew over and let out a sharp cry of "Ah!", the voice similar to that of an infant.

  Wen Baiyu felt a sudden pain in his leg, turned his head to look, and in the dark cave, there was actually an infant with bat wings lying on his leg, revealing sharp fangs, and took a bite.

  Hun Dun said with a snort: "His teeth are numb."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt one leg go numb, the phoenix bone dagger swept across, and that strange baby was swept out by him, crashing into the wall of the cave.

  Hun Dun got up and said: "Can you walk?"

  Wen Baiyu leaned against the wall, one of his legs was completely numb, but he could still walk with difficulty by leaning against the wall and dragging his leg.

  Two people walked towards the depths of the cave entrance.

  Wen Baiyu said: "I met a strange woman at the entrance of the cave, with wings on her back. What kind of thing is that?"

  Hun Dun said: "It's Gui Mu. Gui Mu gives birth to a small ghost in the morning, and at night, due to weakness, she eats these ghosts."

  Wen Baiyu shivered at the news and couldn't believe such a thing existed.

  Hun Tun said: "The ghost mother will also seduce some people who don't know the situation to mate, so that they can give birth to little ghosts."

  Wen Baiyu was startled again, and Hun Dun laughed and said: "Hey, why did your face turn white? Did the ghost mother want to pair you up with someone just now?"

  Wen Baiyu's face turned even uglier, and he said, "Pfft pfft pfft."

  Hun Dun smiled and said: "If I see your husband in a little while, I'll tell him."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly imagined Wan Jieying's reaction and felt that the scene was too beautiful, so she didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

  Two people supported each other as they walked out, and behind them came the sound of heavy panting. Wen Baiyu was taken aback and said, "Could it be that they're chasing after us?"

  Hun Dun said: "Looks like he really wants to pair up with you."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Hun Dun said: "Let's hurry up, the sun is about to set, Gui Mu is very weak at this time, let's go quickly."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, but he was a bit out of breath. His legs were numb and couldn't exert any strength, not listening to his commands.

  "Ahh——" A strong gust of wind blew from behind, Wen Baiyu stood unsteadily, and with a "thud", she flipped over and rolled straight into the cave.

  Hun Dun's body was also covered in wounds, and he couldn't catch him. He simply let go of his hand, and the two of them rolled into it together.

  The cave below was very steep, and Wen Baiyu's seven emotions and eight thoughts were all mixed up, her mind was dizzy, she slid down the cave all the way, suddenly it brightened in front of her eyes, and she actually rolled out of the cave.

  He looked up and found that in front of him was a forest. It turned out that the cave had been extending downward all along, and the entrance was at the foot of the mountain.

  The chaos behind him suddenly rolled out and slammed Wen Baiyu forward, causing Wen Baiyu to shout in pain, slamming him so hard that his internal injuries almost came out.

  The ghost mother screamed behind her back, occasionally bursting out with a "hahaha" laugh, and suddenly flew out of the cave entrance.

  One of her wings was scratched by Wen Baiyu, and flying seemed a bit out of sync. She held something in her hand, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an infant. According to Hun Dun's words, that should be her own child.

  The naked ghost mother lifted the baby up, put it to her mouth, and then suddenly opened her big mouth wide, her mouth was like a snake's mouth, and with one bite, she bit down on the baby's head.

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  The baby let out a mournful wail, leaving only a blood-stained neck.

  Wen Baiyu was so frightened that her face turned pale. This ghost mother is too cruel!

  The ghost mother's mouth "chomped" and "chewed", with fresh blood dripping from the corners of her mouth, she spat out a mouthful, expelling white intestines and bones.

  Hun Dun's face sank and he said, "This is bad, she has eaten a little ghost."

  Wen Baiyu just heard him say that Gui Mu was weak at night, so she would eat small ghosts to supplement herself. Now isn't she no longer weak?

  Wen Baiyu quickly scrambled to his feet, and Hun Dun also got up. He clutched at his chest, which had a large gash in it. It was clear that he had been slashed, and fresh blood stained his entire chest, still seeping out.

  Wen Baiyu quickly supported him, Hundun had no physical body and was no different from ordinary people.

  The ghost mother laughed wildly and said: "Little brother, where are you going to escape? Sister thought you were delicious, but unexpectedly had thorns, which hurt people."

  She said, slowly walking over, Hun Dun went to pull him, but Wen Baiyu didn't move, only appearing somewhat tense.

  The demon mother thought he was too scared to move, and smiled triumphantly, saying: "Little brother, do you think sister is pretty? You can have some fun with sister first, then sister will kill you, and you won't die unjustly... Ah!!"

  She was still speaking, when Wen Baiyu suddenly pulled out a phoenix bone dagger from her sleeve and pounced on Gui Mu, pinning her to the ground. With a "pa" sound, she stabbed the dagger into Gui Mu's other wing.

  The ghost mother let out a loud howl, both wings were injured and couldn't fly for a while.

  The two wings shook slightly and with a "whoosh" sound, Wen Bai was blown away.

  Wen Baiyu was almost internally injured from the fall, but she couldn't care about that now. She immediately got up from the ground, grabbed Hun Dun and said: "Hurry up, hurry up, she can't fly anymore!"

  Hun Dun was completely stunned, running while covering his chest and laughing: "I thought you were going to sacrifice yourself for the greater good and sell your body to feed the ghost mother!"

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Don't tease me, run quickly! Damn it, she's coming after us!'"

  Wen Baiyu shouted loudly, but Hundun suddenly held out his hand, and Wen Baiyu subconsciously stopped in his tracks, saying: "What are you doing?!"

  Hun Dun covered his chest, his face turned pale, and he shook his head saying: "You go, I'm done."

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback for a moment, Hundun said: "Without flesh and blood, I am no different from ordinary people. With so much blood flowing out, can I still live? You hurry up and run, I'll go stop her."

  Hun Dun spoke with some difficulty, his movements labored. Excessive blood loss made his head spin, and speaking a single sentence seemed to exhaust all his energy.

  Wen Baiyu hadn't even had time to speak when Hun Dun suddenly turned around, took off in a sprint, jumped up, hooked his feet onto the branch of the tree in front of him, and swung his body, sending a burst of blood flying out like a flower, right into the face of the pursuing Gui Mu.

  The Ghost Mother let out a loud "Ah" and both of them thudded to the ground, Chaos seemingly about to engage in close combat with him.

  Wen Baiyu's mind went blank, and he shouted "If I'm going to die, then so be it!" He didn't believe that he and Hun Dun, two big shots, couldn't defeat a woman.

  Wen Baiyu also rushed up, and Gui Mu's body was already covered in blood. Her white skin had turned red, of course, it was the chaotic blood.

  Hun Dun looked at him coming over and immediately widened his eyes. Wen Bai Yu first made a "whooshing" sound, cutting off Gui Mu's twin wings.

  The ghost mother let out a miserable cry of "ah ah ah", and Wen Baiyu couldn't help but feel some pity for her. Just as he hesitated, the ghost mother suddenly pounced on him, her sharp fingernails digging into his neck, causing Wen Baiyu's eyes to roll back in his head. Wen Baiyu kicked out fiercely several times, and the two of them rolled around on the ground together.

  The demon mother had no wings, her eyes were already red from killing, and she lowered her head to tear at the shoulder of Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu let out a pained "ah" and Hun Dun climbed up from the ground, saying: "So intense?"

  Wen Baiyu looked at him still having the mood to joke, angry beyond words, he was choked again, unable to say a complete sentence, "Save... save... cough cough..."

  Hun Dun crawled up from the ground, wiped the blood off his mouth, and ran over. Wen Baiyu still hoped he would save himself, but to his surprise, the man suddenly fell head-first onto the ground halfway through.

  Wen Baiyu's heart turned cold in an instant, and Hun Dun was bleeding too much to know if he could hold on. He himself was also struggling to hold on.

  Just then, a loud shout of "Ah" from the Ghost Mother was heard, and Wen Baiyu felt a sudden lightness on her body. The Ghost Mother who had been pressing down on her had vanished, and was sent flying out, crashing into a large tree with a thud.

  Under the tree, I don't know what was there, but Guimu smashed it and made a "crack" sound, as if something had been smashed to pieces, splashing bones all over the ground...

  Wen Baiyu was panting heavily, and when she looked up, it was Wan Kuang Jing Hou. Tang Zi was also beside him, seemingly injured with blood on his shoulder. Next to them was a cold-faced Gan Zhu.

  Wen Baiyu let out a breath of relief, sprawled on the ground panting deeply. Wan Kuang Jing Hou helped him up and saw the deep bullet wound on his shoulder, his face looking extremely unsightly.

  "Wan Baiyu exclaimed: "Ah!", saying: "Dumplings! Quickly save the dumplings!"

  He said that, and everyone was stunned, not knowing who Jiaozi was. After reacting for half a day, they finally realized that Wen Baiyu was talking about Hundun.

  Chaos lay on the ground, motionless, with a pale face, and a patch of blood had already seeped out onto the floor.

  Gan Zong walked over and felt his pulse, then turned him over and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

  In just a few seconds, Hundun blinked his eyes, slowly opened them, and frowned, saying with a twisted tongue: "What did you make me eat... it's too bitter..."

  Gan Zhu didn't even look at him, still with a cold expression, stood up and said: "No nonsense, rest."

  The chaos was also exhausted, lost a lot of blood and fell asleep immediately.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Is he all right?'"

  Gan Zhu just shook his head.

  Wen Baiyu let out a breath of relief, Wan Xi Jing Hou helped him sit down and treated his wound. Tang Zi also sat beside them, treating his own wound.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'What happened to you all? Why are you injured?'"

  Tangzi let out a wry smile and said, "There are many Guimu in these mountains, as well as Silver Lingzi. If you're not careful, you'll get caught up in the Dao."

  Tang Tzu's face turned somewhat unpleasant, with a hint of helplessness. Wen Baiyu immediately thought of it - Yin Lingzi was good at confusing people, and Tang Tzu probably still thought he saw Yu Lao Ban, otherwise who could have made Tang injured?

  Everyone sat down to rest, and Wen Baiyu mentioned the big tree he saw on the mountain earlier. Gan Zhu nodded and said: "That's it, let's take a break before passing by. I've seen that tree, but I didn't find any mechanism for the tomb of the tree. From its appearance, it's just an ordinary tree."

  Hun Dun has been unconscious all along, he was injured like that, and it's unknown when he'll wake up.

  Wen Baiyu walked over to take a look at his situation, and when he lifted his head, he saw the ghost mother lying on the ground not far away, seemingly already dead. Her body had actually burst open with a big hole, which gave Wen Baiyu quite a fright.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou walked over and said, "That's a little ghost. Once the mother ghost dies, the little ghost will eat its mother's corpse. However, the little ghost doesn't have much endurance and can only attack people who are alone. Since we're in a group, there's no need to be afraid of it."

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit nauseous, three or four little ghosts were crawling on the ghost mother's body, gnawing at her with all their might, and the ghost mother's body was covered in blood.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly said "Huh?" and asked: "What's that?"

  He said, pointing to the tree pit, and saw many bones under the ghost mother.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou furrowed his brow and walked over, with Wen Bai Yu following him.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou walked over, and those little ghosts seemed to have been frightened, scattering in all directions.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down, reached out and lifted up the corpse of Gui Mu, then stretched his hand in to dig.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the blood-soaked corpse, and Wan Qi Jinghou actually reached out to search underneath it, looking at him with a face full of disgust.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou dug twice and pulled out a bone from below, took a look and said: "It's human bone."

  Then he dug again and took out a small jade coffin. Wen Baiyu looked at it and suddenly exclaimed, "How can there be such a small coffin?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou simply moved the corpse of Gui Mu completely away, underneath was a pile of bones. Wan Xi Jing Hou reached out and stirred them a few times, saying: "They are all human bones."

  Gan Zhu also walked over and said: "It should be a sacrificial ritual, a kind of black witch's sacrificial method."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Hei Wu?"

  Gan Zhu didn't say another word, his words were scarce and pitiful. He turned around, suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up the chaotic mess on the ground, saying: "It's getting late, let's go."

  Wen Baiyu looked at Tang Zi, who stood up and stretched his shoulders. He was worried about Yu Bo and wanted to set off as soon as possible.

  They walked for five minutes, and Wen Baiyu suddenly exclaimed, "Look!"

  In front of us, not far away, under a tree pit, there was actually a tower built with white bones.

  A row of white bones, with holes drilled at both ends, were strung together with golden thread to form a tower shape. The warm white light counted the number, and the tower had six layers. On top of the tower was placed a very small jade coffin, just like before.

  Gan Zhu glanced at the white bone tower on the ground and surprisingly kicked it apart with one foot, Wen Baiyu was somewhat puzzled.

  Gan Zhu said: "This is a suspicious formation. The tree mound is right in front of us. If we don't break through the suspicious formation, all these trees will become obstacles and we'll never be able to see the tree mound."

  They walked a bit further ahead, during which Hun Dun seemed to have woken up a little, but was still not very clear-headed. He actually tried to turn over and thought he was sleeping in his own bed. Then, he took out a peanut from his pocket and put it into his mouth, crunching away with a "crack crack" sound. He frowned, seemingly feeling that the peanut skin wasn't crunchy enough, and then spat out two pieces of peanut skin with a "ptoo ptoo" sound.

  Hun Dun was being held by Gan Xue, and he vomited all over Gan Xue's body. Wen Bai Yu immediately saw Gan Xue's face change, seeming to become quite frightening...

  Wen Baiyu's words are a bit ridiculous, but looking at it this way, Hun Dun has the energy to eat again, so it should be fine.

  After walking for half an hour, everyone finally saw that big tree.

  The tree was extremely tall, they looked up and could hardly see the treetop, the thick trunk, not even twenty adult men could encircle it with their arms, he had never seen a tree so thick.

  The trunk was entwined with some vines, which seemed to be tied very tightly in a circle.

  The trees next to the big tree are all tilted towards it as if they have become natural pillars to prevent the big tree from toppling over.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him with wide eyes and a tongue-tied expression. He walked around the tree twice, but didn't see any tree holes.

  Because many tree vines are entwined on the tree, it is difficult to see at a glance where there are mechanisms on the trunk.

  Wen Baiyu said: "How can we get in? Do we have to cut down the tree?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down, reached out to touch the soil in the tree pit, pinched a small handful to look at it, and smelled it. He shook his head and said: "There is burial soil under the tree, with very strong yin energy. This tree is similar to the Ming tomb we visited before, which was used for transporting nutrients. If this big tree is damaged, the tomb may collapse."

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Tomb earth?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The mixed layer of soil in the sealed earth, simply put, is the person who was buried with the dead. These people are neatly arranged in the soil. If we want to dig a tunnel from the outside and go in suddenly, we will definitely dig into the burial soil, and when the time comes, a large number of corpses will see blood and immediately rise."

  Wen Baiyu said: "So can only find the mechanism on the tree?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded.

  Everyone was momentarily at a loss, wondering where the entrance was and how they could avoid triggering any mechanisms that would damage the tomb, but instead open it.

  Wen Baiyu turned around again, stroking his chin and said: "This tree looks perfect, actually I've been wanting to ask..."

  He paused, looking at the crowd and said: "The person who caught Rain Boss, did they really go in? I just asked Dumpling about it, he said that the one who caught them was Zhang Pi. The reason why they caught Rain Boss is definitely to lure us over. As for catching Dumpling, it's because Zhang Pi wants his physical body, but he himself doesn't know where the tomb is."

  Wen Baiyu said: "You say that fake skin tricked us into coming here, and Jiaozi escaped halfway. Is it possible that he never actually went in and is waiting for us to open the tomb door?"

  He said that, and everyone fell silent. Indeed, it's possible from the appearance of this tree, not a single sign of opening, perhaps it's really waiting for a rabbit to come bounding by.

  "But there's no other way."

  They are currently very passive. Opening the tree coffin may fall into Huo Mo's trap. If they don't open the tomb door, they won't be able to see Yu Wei Yang.

  Everyone began to surround the tree and carefully search for the mechanism of the tree tomb. Wen Baiyu studied the trunk inch by inch, but the trunk was too big, and it didn't know when they would find anything at this rate.

  Wen Baiyu lifted his foot and was about to take a step forward when it seemed like something had fixed itself to the ground, he looked down and saw that a hand was grasping his ankle.

  "Ah!"

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud shout, he violently kicked his legs twice, but unexpectedly the hand that was grasping tightly was lifted by Wen Baiyu's leg and swung around, and in an instant, it was completely pulled out of the ground.

  Wen Baiyu was shocked, it turned out that this land had been dug up before, the soil was very thin, and it had already reached what was called "burial soil", with a corpse lying underneath.

  The warm white feathers were filled with yang energy, and the zongzi felt the blood energy, slowly coming back to life.

  Zongzi broke out of the earth, but after so many years, only a pile of bones remained.

  Wen Baiyu was frightened, let out a loud cry, and kicked one foot forward. Just then, there was a "crack" sound, and the zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling) that had been grasping his hand was kicked away by Wen Baiyu. Wen Baiyu immediately ran out in a flurry.

  Wan Xi Jinghou was right next to him, pulling Wen Baiyu behind him. The dragon-scale dagger flashed extremely fast in one stroke, "gudong" sound, the skull's head fell to the ground, still shaking on the ground, and the body suddenly scattered, paralyzed on the ground.

  Wen Baiyu let out a breath and said, "It's too scary, suddenly appearing in the middle of the night."

  He said, and hastily took out a flashlight to carefully illuminate the surroundings. It was only then that he saw the place where he had been standing earlier was slightly lower than the rest of the area. In fact, it had been dug up before, but not too deeply, as if someone had been afraid to dig further.

  The zongzi ran out from inside, and the previous position became a not small pit.

  Wen Baiyu exclaimed, "Huh?" and squatted down, pulling out the Fenggu bone dagger. She reached in and stirred around, but there was no corpse inside. Instead, she found a white jade coffin, roughly the same size as the one they had seen before. Wen Baiyu reached out to take it.

  He reached down but couldn't pull it out and wondered: "Is it stuck in the ground?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou also squatted down to take a look, then reached in and felt around, feeling the seam of the coffin board. He pried it open with his hand, and heard a "click" sound, as the lid of the jade coffin was pried open.

  Inside is a golden silk fabric.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took it out, and Wen Bai Yu's head suddenly hurt. He said: "What is this text? It also looks a bit like a pattern? Can you understand it?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "It's witchcraft."

  He said, Gan Zhu walked over, took the golden silk and looked at it, first surprised, then frowned, thought for a while, suddenly walked to one side of the big tree, and started counting the vines entwined on the tree.

  Nor did he know how many times he had counted, but suddenly stopped and pressed his hand on it. The trunk between the two tree vines actually sank down at once.

  "An organization?" Wen Baiyu exclaimed excitedly.

  Gan Zhu didn't say a word and continued to look at the golden silk in his hand, then walked to another side to count the rattans on the tree, and immediately pressed down on the middle of the rattan trunk.

  He pressed a total of four sides, and after pressing, the huge tree suddenly made a trembling sound, "rumbling" as if it was going to cause an earthquake. Immediately following that, the vines on the tree seemed to come alive, starting to violently pull outward on the trunk. A massive piece of wood, like a door, suddenly swung open.

  Everyone went inside to take a look, and surprisingly, the book was made of stone, with only a layer of tree bark on the outside. Inside, it was all built with stones. First, there was a well, with stone steps leading down to its depths, extremely deep, and you couldn't see the bottom at all.

  Wen Baiyu used a flashlight to illuminate the well, but couldn't see the bottom. He took out a fluorescent stick from his backpack, shook it, and threw it into the well. The green fluorescence splashed in, but quickly disappeared from view, unable to reach the bottom before vanishing.

  Wen Baiyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "This is also too deep."

  Gan Zhuo still held the golden silk and looked at it, suddenly furrowed his brow and said: "Earlier, someone went in."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What? Could it be the person who kidnapped Yu Yang just went in?"

  Gan Zhu said: "Who went in I don't know, but this mechanism has been activated before, and it was the wrong one."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Wrong? If it's wrong, how can it still be opened?"

  Gan Zhu suddenly laughed and said, "The ancients who built tombs were not benevolent. If this mechanism is opened incorrectly, the door will still open, but the internal structure will change, and the tomb raiders who enter will have no way out."

  Wen Baiyu shouted "Oh no!" and said: "Isn't that going to implicate Yu Ruyang?"

  Gan Zhu said, "I just pressed the correct sequence, but it didn't work. This mechanism can only be opened once, which means that the first time was wrong, and after that, no matter how many times you open it, they're all wrong. There may be hundreds of zongzi inside, or there may be hundreds of corpses. Do you want to go down? It's up to you."

  At this time, Hun Dun woke up. He struggled to get up, took out a handful of melon seeds from his bosom, and started cracking them with a "crackling" sound. He squatted at the edge of the well, looking inside, and threw the cracked melon seed shells into it. He said, "Hey, are you going in?"

  Wen Baiyu didn't hesitate at all and said, "Of course I'll go in, Yu Yang is inside."

  Tang Zi also had to go in.

  Wan Qi Jinghou put his backpack on his back, took the flashlight and tied it to his arm, saying: "I'll take the lead, you guys follow me."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou was the first to enter the well, Wen Bai Yu quickly followed, Tang Zi also followed, Hun Dun munched on melon seeds, looked at Gan Zhu and said: "Are you going in?"

  Gan Zhu didn't say a word, walked over, just about to dive into the well, Hundun grabbed him, and Gan Zhu immediately felt an extra gourd skin on his face, his originally cold expression becoming even more gloomy.

  Hun Dun didn't show the slightest embarrassment, threw away the melon seed shell in his hand, grabbed Gan Zhu and said: "Hey, I'm a patient, this hole is so deep, can you carry me?"

  He said, while taking out a peanut and peeling it to put in his own mouth. Seeing Gan Zhu not speaking, but staring at him gloomily, he immediately peeled another peanut and stuffed it into his mouth, saying: "Carry me down the mountain, I still have dried plum candies here, I'll give you some to eat."

  Gan Zhu's face turned even darker and he didn't speak, Hun Dun patted his hand, grasped his neck, and also patted Gan Zhu's shoulder, saying: "Drive."

  Gan Zhu has no idea what kind of temper he is anymore.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou walked in the front, Wen Bai Yu felt that this cave was too deep, all around were stone walls, and the stone steps were very neat, didn't know how this tomb was built back then.

  They walked all the way in, and suddenly heard a "ding-dong---ding-dong---ding, ding, ding-dong" sound, as if someone was playing an instrument.

  A chill ran down Wen Baiyu's back; this was a burial ground, how could there be someone playing music here?
