Chapter 114: Candle Dragon Well 4

  Wen Baiyu was startled, and his pale hand looked just like a white-skinned zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling) he had seen before.

  Everyone was frightened and shouted loudly, subconsciously taking a step back. Then they heard someone yelling: "It's a damn dumpling, open fire!!"

  "Bang, bang, bang!" Several shots were fired at the same time, and the wellhead became a sieve. The bullets hit the stones around the wellhead, causing them to fly everywhere, "Rattling" as they fell down. That white hand quickly withdrew, pulling back into the well.

  Everyone fell silent for about two minutes, all holding their guns and staring tightly at the wellhead. Only then did they let out a sigh of relief. Chang Abacus looked at the man in the team and wanted him to go take a look if there was anything else in the well. The thug didn't dare to go and take a look.

  Wen Baiyu saw them pushing and blocking, and couldn't help but walk towards the well. Wan Shoujinghou stretched out his hand to stop him, and he himself leaned forward to look into the well, just as a "whoosh" sound was heard. In an instant, a white object suddenly emerged from the mouth of the well.

  Everyone immediately "ah" and took a sip, it was white rice dumplings!

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou was so close to the white-skinned zongzi that it was almost impossible to avoid, and everyone was waiting for the white-skinned zongzi to tear Wan Kuang Jing Hou apart. Chang Suanpan and You Gui had the following thought in their minds: if Wan Kuang Jing Hou died like this, then even if they really found Zhu Long, they could also get rid of one of the big heads who would share the spoils.

  Just as the lightning flashed, the white-skinned zongzi let out a loud roar of "Kah!", its two hands pounced out, wanting to grab Wan Kuang Jing Hou's neck, suddenly opening its sticky big mouth, full of sharp teeth biting towards Wan Kuang Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu took a deep breath, and saw that Wan Kuang Jinghou didn't dodge, but instead suddenly stretched out his hand, transforming it into a claw. With a swift swipe, he grabbed the zongzi's neck, beating the white-skinned zongzi by one step.

  The zongzi was caught, let out a loud "kua" cry, and immediately flailed its arms wildly, trying to tear at Wan Zang's face. The zongzi's arms were shorter than Wan Zang's, so it couldn't grab his neck, and could only wildly scratch at his arms.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou quickly swung his arm and pulled the white-skinned zongzi out of the well, slamming it to the ground with a loud "thud".

  The crowd suddenly burst into chaos, like a pot of oil poured with boiling water, shouting and dispersing in all directions. With a loud "bang", the white rice dumpling was flung to the ground amidst the crowd.

  Zongzi suddenly jumped up from the ground, like a madman, and rushed over to pounce on the person next to him. The crowd immediately dispersed, and Wan Jie Jing Hou kicked White Skin Zongzi's shoulder with one foot. White Skin Zongzi swayed, and Wan Jie Jing Hou pressed down again. With a "thud", White Skin Zongzi knelt down on the ground with his knees bent.

  Wen Baiyu rushed over, her fingertips aflame, and before anyone could react, she pressed them against the forehead of Baipizongzi. Baipizongzi immediately began to convulse violently, his mouth letting out a string of incoherent "ga ga ga" sounds as his head shook uncontrollably. With a loud thud, he collapsed to the ground and finally lay still.

  Everyone was stunned, Chang Suanpan and You Gui exchanged a glance, unexpectedly, Wan Kuang Jing Hou was so lucky, and looking at his moves, his reaction speed was extremely fast. If he really fell into the old well, they would all be no match for him in the dark.

  Everyone saw Zongzi's body and let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down, using a dagger to pick up the zongzi and took a look, saying: "It's the zongzi from the previous ambush on us."

  Chang Suanpan said: "It's this pale guy! Are they all crawling out of the well? Is this what Xie Fengzi meant by the guardian deity of the well? It can't be, no matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like a deity. And we've seen so many pale zongzi, are there still many in the well? How is this going to end?"

  Everyone listened to Chang's abacus words and started discussing them one after another. The surrounding area was in an uproar, with everyone talking non-stop.

  If you want to pour this bucket, you must put a rope down from the wellhead. Last time in Shaoyang, they did the same thing, but others didn't have such experience. Looking at the situation of this white-skinned zongzi, it's unknown how many more are inside the well. If we rashly put down the rope, I'm afraid it will end up like the tragic fate of Lang Feng that year.

  Everyone recalled and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if there were many such dumplings in the well, wouldn't it have been like throwing Yang into the tiger's mouth back then? No wonder Wen Lei and Wen Jiu immediately grabbed the rope and pulled up an arm instead.

  "You said: 'This is easy, let's throw an explosive inside and see what happens.'"

  "What if something good is ruined?"

  Chang Suanpan's eyes rolled around and he smiled at the crowd: "Everyone, don't worry, I have a plan."

  As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him, seeing that he was old and cunning, with a sly look on his face, they all waited for Chang to continue speaking.

  Chang Abacus smiled and said, "This way, we can form a team. With this team as the vanguard, let's drop down the rope and take a look to see what's inside. Who knows, maybe all those white-skinned dumplings will run out, leaving only a few behind. Nobody can say for sure."

  When he said that, everyone looked at Chang's abacus with suspicion. This kind of daredevil team, who would want to do it? They all came here to pan for gold, and some danger was also worth it, but this daredevil team, no one wanted to take the lead.

  "Let's hear Chang Suanpan continue to say: 'We, the first ones to go down, didn't go down for nothing. If we really got benefits, no matter if it's a dragon candle or other precious instruments in this tomb, these people will take the lion's share.'"

  At this time, Qi San Ye smiled and said: "What kind of big head is Occupying Da Tou, it sounds quite empty."

  Chang Suanpan was almost glaring at Qi San Ye, who always had a look of watching a good show, and every time he could poke through Chang Suanpan's plan.

  Chang Suanpan gritted his teeth and said: "Seven parts, occupying seven parts, what do you think?"

  70%...

  This is really too much, it's a complete loss.

  Many people heard this and several of them were eager to move, but they looked at the white rice dumplings on the ground and didn't dare to take the lead.

  Chang Suanpan looked at Wan Kuang and said: "Master Jing, among us, your martial arts skills are the best. How about it? Are you daring enough to go down?"

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but glance at Chang Suanpan with a smile, if they really didn't dare to go down, what was the point of their trek through mountains and deserts? Was it just to experience desert life?

  Wan Qi Jing Hou didn't say a word, he just gave Chang Suan Pan a cold glance, then took off his backpack and started searching for rope inside.

  His actions left everyone else stunned, and people began discussing it again.

  Xie Yan looked at the well mouth, he had indeed seen Xie Lin earlier, this was something he couldn't have mistaken, but Xie Lin's shadow flashed and disappeared. Although Xie Yan usually seemed very obedient, once he made up his mind about something, he would investigate thoroughly without leaving any stone unturned. He really wanted to know what reason Xie Lin had for entering the desert every year, and why she couldn't tell anyone.

  Xie Yan immediately said: "I'll go too."

  Chang Suanpan immediately laughed and said: "Ah, great! Now we have Master Jing and this young man, is there anyone else?"

  Wen Baiyu glanced at Chang Suanpan, who smiled and said: "Is Young Master Wen also going?"

  Wen Jiu Mu was somewhat anxious, pulling Wen Bai Yu and saying: "Bai Yu, this isn't a joke, no one understands the situation below better than us. If it's really Lang Feng seeking revenge..."

  Wen Baiyu didn't let him continue, and hastily said: "If Lang Feng wants to take revenge, I have no grudges against him. It's you, uncle, the two of you can just wait up there."

  Wen Kai immediately said: "No way, we're going down too."

  Wen Baiyu hadn't even finished speaking when Chang Suanpan eagerly said, "Great, great! I didn't expect so many people to go down in the first round. Is there anyone else?"

  Chang Suanpan's gaze swept across the crowd, and Qi San Ye smiled and said: "I'm just a curious person, I'll go down too."

  The little fox lay in Qi San Ye's arms, hearing the sound and opening its eyes, looking at Qi San Ye, but not speaking.

  Yougui smiled and muttered under his breath, "The crippled want to go find death."

  Others are somewhat resentful, but they dare not take the lead and just want to wait and see.

  Everyone started rummaging through their backpacks and took out all the ropes they had brought with them, preferably very sturdy ones.

  Wen Baiyu asked Wen Lei and Wen Jiumu, "About how deep is this well, do you know?"

  Wen Jiu Mu shook his head and said, "At that time, Xie Zongzi dropped the rope too quickly, it was almost thrown down, the rope was stretched straight, I estimate it didn't even reach the bottom."

  Wen Baiyu looked at their ropes and didn't know if they would reach the bottom of the well even if they were stretched out straight.

  Everyone prepared a bit because there was a huge stone tablet next to them, and it happened that the rope was tied to the stone tablet, which made it more secure.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou buckled the rope to his waist, then put on his backpack. Wen Bai Yu looked at his backpack with some concern, not knowing what unexpected things might happen when they went down.

  Wan Xi Jinghou gave him a reassuring glance, and the others also prepared themselves. There were quite a few of them, and the well was very large, so several people could jump in at the same time without it being crowded.

  Everyone tied their flashlights to their arms, so as not to hinder swinging down the rope. Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I'll go first."

  Everyone nodded, and Wan Qi Jing Hou jumped back, kicked the well wall, and slid directly into the well.

  The well was extremely dark, and although Wan Jie Jing Hou had a flashlight, the light could hardly penetrate this darkness, and he was about to disappear into the darkness. Wen Bai Yu was afraid of losing sight of him, so she immediately followed Wan Jie Jing Hou, took a deep breath, and dove headfirst into the well mouth, also kicking against the wall of the well as she slid down the deep well.

  All I could hear was the sound of "whooshing" and the wind, the rope hanging down into the seemingly bottomless well, the flashlight's beam dancing wildly as it followed Wen Baiyu downwards, shining back and forth.

  Wen Baiyu looked down and saw a faint light in the distance. He felt a bit worried and shouted, "Mo Jie Hou?"

  The echo was very loud, and the sound of the echo came faintly one after another. Wan Zongjinghou seemed to have heard his voice below and responded with a "I'm here."

  Wen Baiyu finally put his mind at ease, and his entire body quickly slid downwards. The light from the flashlight faintly illuminated the surroundings, casting a pale glow on the stone wall. Wen Baiyu suddenly went "Huh?"

  Below, Wan Kuang Jing Hou's ears were very sharp and seemed to have heard Wen Bai Yu's questioning voice. Immediately, a "click" sound came, which was the sound of the rope being pulled tight and stopping.

  Wen Baiyu slid down, raised his arm to the side of the well wall, and soon leveled off with Wan Jiahui, stopping there.

  Others saw them stop and thought they had encountered some danger, so they also stopped nervously.

  "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu shone his flashlight on the well wall and said, "Look here."

  Everyone looked in the direction he was shining, and saw that there were many scratch marks on the wall of the well. The scratches were black and had been there for some time, but the traces were very clear, as if something had climbed up from below.

  Everyone took a look and suddenly remembered the white-skinned zongzi from earlier. The zongzi also crawled out along the well mouth.

  "Is it the mark left by those white-skinned dumplings?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "No, we saw many white-skinned zongzi beside the oasis, but there is only one set of scratches here. It looks like something climbed up, not a group."

  "What is that thing?" said Wen Baiyu strangely.

  They are wondering, the people above don't listen and look down with a flashlight, but it's too dark inside, can't see clearly at all. The person who went down slipped quite far away and is completely out of sight now.

  Chang Suanpan and You Gui were both people who had been down the well twenty years ago, of course they knew how dangerous it was. At that time, Lang Feng was thrown in, and soon a stream of blood gushed out from the mouth of the well, accompanied by a terrifying dragon roar. The sound of the dragon's roar was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives. Although they were afraid, it also indirectly proved that perhaps there really was a dragon in the well.

  Chang Suanpan and You Gui were getting a bit anxious, having gone down for so long without hearing the dragon's roar or seeing any blood splatter, everything was eerily silent, had they unknowingly been eaten?

  The abacus beads rotated, and he touched the hanging strings, all of which were taut, indicating that there was someone above, and perhaps it was still safe for the time being. Could it be true that what he had said earlier was correct, that those white-skinned dumplings had all gone out to hunt for food, so only a few individuals remained in the well?

  Chang abacus was a little regretful, his heart and liver were in pain. At this time, a loud "heh heh" sound suddenly came from the ancient well, and a gust of cold wind burst out of the well mouth. The crowd who looked into the well with their heads raised were all startled, and they retreated two steps under the blow of the wind.

  Wen Baiyu and they were studying the scratches on the well wall, just at this time, a small fox suddenly sniffed its nose and said: "Wait, the smell is not right..."

  He said, Qi San Ye suddenly narrowed his eyes, the white flashlight shone over, hitting the little fox's eyes, the light circle was twisted to the maximum, this kind of flashlight beam is very strong, the little fox's eyes squinted, a bit unaccustomed to such strong light.

  At the same time, a loud "Ah!" was heard. The little fox's ears moved and he immediately turned his head to look back, only to see that a white-skinned rice dumpling had quietly climbed up from the bottom of the well and was now standing behind him, raising its hand as if to attack him. However, this white-skinned rice dumpling clearly hadn't seen sunlight in years, and when it was illuminated by the strong light of the flashlight, it suddenly couldn't see anything at all.

  Qī Sān Yé pushed the well wall violently, his arm strength was astonishing, "whoosh" past, hugging the little fox, while quickly swinging back. After all, the strong light was only temporary, and the white dumpling adapted to the light, immediately pouncing again, but pounced on nothing.

  Those white-skinned dumplings almost silently crawled out from the bottom of the well, they wouldn't even scratch a crack on the wall of the well. The white-skinned dumplings were covered with mucus, and when you put your hand on the wall of the well, it was as if it had stuck to it, and couldn't be shaken off.

  Those white-skinned dumplings swam up from the bottom of the well like fish, Wen Baiyu took a deep breath and suddenly pulled out the phoenix bone dagger, making a quick turn in his hand.

  The white-skinned zongzi's legs were extremely powerful, and with a sudden burst of speed, it pounced over from the opposite side.

  Wen Baiyu took a deep breath, and with a loud "whoosh", he kicked the well wall and swung himself over to the other side, where he landed with a thud. He looked up at his rope.

  Wen Baiyu shouted that it was not good, these smart dumplings were quite high, the white-skinned dumpling couldn't pounce on Wen Baiyu, and immediately pounced, hugging the rope of Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu's body shook violently as the rope swung rapidly, and with the heavy zongzi, it let out a "creaking" sound, causing Wen Baiyu to quickly smash into the well wall.

  Wen Bai's legs kicked out with force, her feet landing on the wall of the well to avoid her nose touching it. At the same time, she quickly raised her hand and let out a "whooshing" sound as she struck the small leg of the white-skinned zongzi.

  Bai Pi Zongzi let out a loud roar, releasing his hands and pressing down along the rope. Wen Baiyu looked up and saw that he was about to be crushed to death.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou's eyes narrowed, and he quickly kicked the well wall, rushing over and kicking open the white-skinned dumpling with one foot.

  Bai Pi Zongzi leaned back, letting go of the rope, and Wen Baiyu was swung around quickly. Wan Qi Jinghou caught him in his arms and asked, "Are you okay?"

  Wen Baiyu shook her head and said, "I'm so dizzy I feel like throwing up."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou was amused by him and laughed again, saying: "It's okay, go down and vomit some more."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  That white-skinned zongzi was kicked down by Wan Qi Jinghou, and it heavily smashed downwards, just hitting several white-skinned zongzi that were about to climb up. Suddenly, a "plop" sound was heard, and it seemed like the bottom was still quite deep. The white-skinned zongzi fell for a long time before making a muffled sound.

  Wen Baiyu shouted to everyone: "Hurry up, it's coming again!"

  They were suspended in mid-air, without any foothold, but those white-skinned dumplings climbed up and down with ease, definitely not to be tangled with them in mid-air.

  The crowd quickly slid down the rope, and white dumplings came out from the bottom of the well one by one. It seemed that there was really a nest of zongzi there, and the dumplings kept coming out and crawling towards them.

  Wen Baiyu said: "I'm now absolutely certain that this isn't a well at all, it's clearly a tomb, otherwise how could there be so many zongzi?"

  The white-skinned zongzi was like a madman, shouting loudly while rushing towards them and constantly opening its sticky big mouth to bite people.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and with a fierce push, he sent Wan Qi Jinghou flying. At the same time, a white-skinned rice dumpling suddenly pounced over and knocked them both to the ground.

  Wen Baiyu hadn't even opened his eyes when he felt a kick, and at that moment, Baipizong suddenly grabbed him. He had grabbed Wen Baiyu's calf, and his hand was sticky, like it had a layer of glue on it. His fingernails were extremely sharp, and with one swipe, they tore through Wen Baiyu's pants and sank in. The glue seemed to be some kind of anesthetic.

  Wen Baiyu's legs suddenly couldn't move, and it felt about the same as what Wen Jiumu had said.

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat flustered, and with a downward slash of the phoenix bone dagger in his hand, the white-skinned zongzi let out a "kua" sound and suddenly loosened its grip, falling from the well mouth.

  Wen Baiyu let out a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he found that there were even more white-skinned dumplings. Everyone was busy, almost surrounding them in a circle. No wonder Lang Feng had lost an arm the year before. This feeling was like falling into a wolf's den, as if they were going to be torn apart.

  Wen Baiyu solved a few white-skinned zongzi, shouting for everyone to follow up. He lowered his head and took a look, then suddenly shouted "Be careful!"

  The further down they went, the more dumplings there were. Wan Jie Jing Hou kicked one away, but another came pouncing over and grabbed his backpack. Wen Bai Yu slid down with a "whoosh" sound, just as he was about to help Wan Jie Jing Hou, he saw his backpack suddenly move, seemingly torn apart by the sharp claws of the white-skinned dumplings, and its contents burst out.

  First, a pair of white wings came into view. The wings weren't large, but they opened suddenly and stirred up a gust of wind. With a quick flap in mid-air, the white skin dumpling attached to the backpack was blown backward by the strong gust and slammed directly onto the well wall with a "thud". It then slid rapidly down along the well wall.

  Wen Baiyu fixed his eyes and took a look, it turned out to be Xiao Chonglong who had drilled out. Xiao Chonglong's eyes were red and glowing, in the dark well, almost illuminating the entire well, and was "huffing... huffing..." heavily, as if the white rice dumpling had just enraged him.

  Behind Xiao Zhu Long, there was a little angel-like baby, with both hands embracing Xiao Zhu Long's neck, lying on his back, curiously staring at the dark well, a pair of big eyes constantly blinking, not afraid of the white-skinned zongzi climbing up, and on the forehead, a shining red fire spirit was emitting soft light.

  Wen Baiyu was startled, Xiao Zhu Long's combat power was extremely explosive, but Dan Dan had no combat power at all. Dan Dan had an innocent and mischievous look on his face, hugging Xiao Zhu Long's neck and laughing "heh heh".

  Several white-skinned zongzi discovered the little dragon candle, and it seemed that because the little dragon candle was still a baby, it naturally emitted a delicious aura, and its body was filled with positive energy. Those white-skinned zongzi gave up attacking others and all gathered around, letting out "heh heh" roars towards the little dragon candle and Dan Dan.

  The egg seemed to be a little scared, hugged the neck of the small dragon tightly, kicked its legs back and forth, was wronged to cry, tears rolled around in its eye sockets, and rubbed its soft head hair on the small dragon's neck.

  "Whoa!" Bai Pizong shouted, dashing forward suddenly. Xiao Chilong flew in mid-air, seemingly very agile, flapping its wings and shooting upwards with a "whoosh". Bai Pizong missed his grab, and Xiao Chilong's tail whipped around, slapping him on the back with a loud "crack".

  The dumplings were hit by a scoop and flew out directly, hitting the well wall and starting to drop stones.

  Xiao Chui Long was born to be a good fighter, his breathing became more and more urgent, his eyes shone like fire, he quickly shuttled back and forth among the white dumplings, just heard "Dong Dong Dong......" several sounds, those white dumplings fell into the well one after another.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened in shock, the dark well was pitch black, the small candle dragon moved quickly, everywhere was a piece of darkness, what could be seen most clearly were those two red eyes.

  Xiao Chui Long seemed like a personal bodyguard, and with his ability to fly in mid-air, the timing and terrain were all on their side. Wen Bai Yu immediately slid down quickly under Xiao Chui Long's cover.

  At this moment, the wings of Xiao Chong Long "whooshed" and Wen Bai Yu was almost blown away by a strong gust of wind. The rope swung rapidly due to the wind, and when Wen Bai Yu turned his head to look, he found that a white-skinned rice dumpling had snuck up on Xiao Chong Long.

  The little dragon's wing was grasped by him, and a white feather fell from the white wing, with sticky liquid of white glutinous rice dumplings on it.

  The little dragon became even more violent, but because of the paralyzing substance on the mucus, the little dragon flapped its wings twice and seemed to feel something was wrong. Its wings shook rapidly, pulling the egg from its back and holding it in its arms. The two wings clamped together, and the two were immediately wrapped inside, head down, plummeting downwards.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, she suddenly released the buckle on her waist, the rope made a "whooshing" sound, and continued to slide down. She quickly scooped up Xiao Chui Long and held him tightly in her arms.

  Wen Baiyu's falling speed was too fast, and Wan Kuang Jinghou suddenly released his own buckle, aimed at Wen Baiyu, stretched out his hand to grab him, grasped Wen Baiyu's collar with one hand, and pressed the buckle on his waist with the other. With a "whoosh" sound, the two people went through a period of inertia and slowly stopped in mid-air.

  Wen Baiyu's mind was buzzing, just now that sudden scare made Wen Baiyu's soul almost run out.

  Everyone saw Wen Baiyu and Wan Jinhou disappear into the well, they quickly released their own locks, dived down fiercely, and soon saw Wen Baiyu and Wan Jinhou in mid-air. Seeing that they were fine, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

  The rope was about to be too short, but a strange thing happened. Those white-skinned dumplings didn't climb up from the bottom of the well.

  Under the wide wellhead, it was a long section of deep well shape, but soon, many holes of various sizes appeared on the well wall, and inside was a white swaying piece. Wen Baiyu stared carefully and found that those holes were all white-skinned zongzi, swaying non-stop.

  The white-skinned zongzi crawled out of the cave, roaring at them, but strangely, these white-skinned zongzi would never crawl down, only crawling upwards.

  Wen Kei was at the top, close to a cave, when a white-skinned corn suddenly rushed out. Wen Kei subconsciously released the lock and slid down, "whoosh" - just a little bit down, that white-skinned corn was only roaring at Wen Kei, as if it didn't dare take another step beyond the thunder pool.

  The cave was surrounded by a dense circle of well walls, and soon white-skinned zongzi came out of the cave, roaring at them, but still dared not to come over.

  Wen Baiyu curiously looked down below, wondering if there was something down there that made these white-skinned zongzi dare not come down.

  They couldn't care less about all this, finally getting rid of the threat of the white-skinned zongzi, they hurriedly slid downwards.

  The rope soon came to an end, and they still hadn't seen the bottom of the well. The crowd had no choice but to climb down along the wall, which seemed to have been artificially excavated. Although it was polished very smoothly, there were stone steps on the wall.

  The stone steps can only be passed by one person, and must be climbed down. It's very steep. Wen Baiyu grabbed the stone steps with his hands and stepped on them with his feet, taking small steps to climb down. After about ten minutes of climbing, because he had been exerting himself for a long time, his legs were sore and numb, and only then did the crowd follow him down the stone steps.

  Qī Sān Yé didn't let anyone help him, his arm strength was truly astonishing, he grasped the stone steps with both hands and came down step by step without needing to tread on the steps.

  After everyone landed, they first let out a sigh of relief, and then immediately held their breath again...

  The air at the bottom of the well was extremely foul, a rotten stench, a putrid smell, plus the bloody smell. There were many corpses at the bottom of the well, in addition to the white-skinned dumplings they had just knocked down, there were many more corpses, some still relatively fresh, and others already turned into skulls.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Look at you."

  He said, using a dagger to flip over the white-skinned dumplings that had fallen down and were almost crushed. Underneath, he surprisingly found a person pressed underneath. The person was someone they knew, from their own team. Before reaching the oasis, the team had encountered a large number of white-skinned dumplings, suffering heavy casualties, with many people being dragged away by the white-skinned dumplings.

  Wen Baiyu said: "So we've been dragged here?"

  Those white-skinned dumplings occasionally crawl out of the well to catch food, then peel off the living people to eat. Perhaps by accident, some people fell from the well mouth, and their corpses fell here, but the white-skinned dumplings did not come down.

  Wen Kai said: "Are these zongzi just for guarding the tomb and don't have the right to come down?"

  Wen Ke's conjecture is not without basis, because in some ancient tribes, the hierarchy was very obvious, and slaves were not as good as livestock. The only way for slaves to participate in sacrifices was through live sacrifice or blood sacrifice.

  Right below the well mouth, it's all corpses, the smell is extremely foul, and there are many small insects crawling on the ground, gnawing at the corpses. Because this well is not sealed, some insects will inevitably get in.

  They didn't dare to stay in this place, quickly moving forward, passing the well bottom position, in front of them was a tunnel, the tunnel walls had murals, looking at the situation, it really was an ancient tomb.

  They walked into the tunnel, where there were no more corpses inside. Wen Baiyu held Xiao Chonglong in her arms, and Xiao Chonglong was still flapping its wings, seemingly unwilling to give up.

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground to rest, having consumed a lot of physical strength from floating down from above.

  Wen Baiyu gently pried open Xiao Chonglong's wings, and Xiao Chonglong was still panting heavily, seemingly feeling that being ambushed by the white-skinned dumpling was a success, especially embarrassing, and didn't want to see anyone.

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit helpless, and Egg was still wrapped in Xiao Zhu's wings, crying so hard that he couldn't catch his breath. Perhaps the feeling of falling from high altitude had frightened the little guy, and Egg looked more delicate, probably scared, with two small meaty hands tightly grasping Xiao Zhu's clothes.

  Wen Baiyu's leg was also scratched, and at first the numbness was severe. But Wen Baiyu had phoenix blood, plus the situation was critical at the time, so she didn't notice it then. Now that she stopped, her leg felt tingling.

  Wen Baiyu was heartbroken to see Dan Dan crying, but she comforted him while thinking that they couldn't waste the good medicine for Dan Dan...

  Wen Baiyu wiped away Eggy's tears with her hand, first rubbing them on Xiao Chonglong's wing. Soon, Xiao Chonglong's wing was able to move again, except for missing a single feather and looking a bit like it had a gap in its teeth; there was no blood.

  Wen Baiyu carefully checked again, let out a sigh of relief, and then wiped away her tears on her leg, the numbness disappearing instantly.

  No one else was injured, but they were all sweating from their foreheads and must have been exhausted.

  Xiao Chong Long lay in Wen Bai Yu's arms, shrinking his wings to cover his fluffy feathers. He must have thought they didn't look good, and the aloof and awkward feeling made Wen Bai Yu laugh.

  Everyone sat down to rest, and Wan Xi Jing Hou examined Wen Bai Yu's wound. The scratch was quite deep, but the egg's tears were very effective, and it healed quickly. However, his pants were a bit torn and had become strips.

  Among them, only Qi San Ye and Xiao Hu Li haven't seen the little ones yet, everyone else is already used to it.

  Wen Baiyu was too lazy to explain, he was a bit exhausted. Qi San Ye and Xiao Hu Li also didn't mean to ask them to explain, on the contrary, they were even more calm and collected, as if they had seen even stranger things before.

  Little Feathers and Little Blood Bone Flower also crawled out of the backpack. Xiao Chong Long was in a bad mood because he lost a feather, and didn't care about Dan Dan. Dan Dan felt wronged and started sobbing, shouting "Ge Ge" (brother) as he went to find Little Feathers, and lay in his arms crying with hiccups.

  Wen Baiyu's heart ached as she watched, although Eggie's tears were good medicine, but he couldn't keep crying. Xiao Chonglong kept glancing over, but because he was missing feathers and had been ambushed by someone, it seemed like he couldn't put down his pride, and his mood wasn't great either. He stood with his arms crossed, not making a sound. Later, he really couldn't bear it anymore, and with a flick of his tail, he wrapped Eggie up in it.

  The soft egg called out "brother" twice, and the small dragon seemed to finally hold back no longer, stretching out his hand to touch his forehead. The little fire spirit cried until he was shiny, and the dragon's hand rested on his forehead, the fire spirit's light gradually becoming warm and gentle. The egg slowly stopped crying.

  Wen Baiyu let out a breath of relief, feeling that Xiao Chui Long still had a way out.

  Everyone sat in a row in the tunnel and rested for about ten minutes. At this time, it is estimated that the people above could not wait any longer, and their intercom actually rang.

  The abacus sound came from inside and said: "Master Jing? Master Jing? Can you hear me?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's intercom was always on, and suddenly a loud voice came out, startling everyone.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou hummed in response, and the people above heard their voices. At first, they let out a sigh of relief, but then seemed to be particularly disappointed, which made Wan Jie Jing Hou involuntarily laugh coldly.

  His cold laughter was very clear, and I estimate that everyone upstairs heard it clearly.

  "Chang abacus coughed and said: 'Master Jing, what's the situation below?'"

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "There is indeed a tomb below."

  As soon as he spoke, the people upstairs immediately became noisy again and started asking about the situation in a flurry of questions. Chang Suanpan asked: "What... what about the zongzi? Are there any zongzi?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou raised his head and looked at the caves above them, which were no longer visible, but there must have been several hundred zongzi.

  The abacus suddenly heard several hundred zongzi, and for a moment there was no sound again.

  Just as they were silent, the intercom suddenly let out a loud "Ahhh".

  The pitch-black tunnel was extremely deep, and a loud shout suddenly emerged from the intercom, echoing in the tunnel, and it was unknown how many times it echoed, scaring everyone into a shock.

  That voice was unmistakably Yu Gui's, although it had been altered somewhat by the intercom.

  The loudspeaker suddenly rang out with Yu Gui's loud voice: "There's a ghost!! There's a ghost!! Lian Feng has come to take revenge!"

  "Rustle rustle......"

  Right after that was the sound of electricity, "Pa!" The loudspeaker seemed to have fallen to the ground, and the last sound everyone heard was gunfire. Then the loudspeaker fell silent.

  Xie Yan immediately stood up upon hearing the words "Jiang Feng", quickly took two steps forward, lifted his head to look towards the well opening, but it was really too deep. Exaggeratedly speaking, this well had almost reached the center of the earth, and above it was dark, Xie Yan couldn't see anything at all.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly stood up and shouted: "Xie Yun!"

  At the same time, Xie Yan suddenly lifted his head and quickly rolled backwards. Then, a loud "Boom!!" was heard as a figure fell from the well opening, hitting the wall several times with a series of "Bangs", before finally falling to the ground with a thud, splashing blood everywhere, covering Xie Yan's head and face.

  Xie Yan's eyes widened as if he had been stimulated, and he quickly retreated two steps before suddenly falling to the ground with a thud.

  Wen Baiyu hastily rushed over, lifted Xie Yun up and pulled him back, lest anything else fall from above.

  That figure fell down and was already mangled beyond recognition. It was impossible to tell who it was, but judging from the clothes, it somehow looked a bit like Yu Gui.

  Everyone's hands and feet were cold with fear, this sudden change was too fast, if it wasn't for Wan Gui Jing Hou's good hearing, Xie Yan would have been smashed into a meat pie.

  Something unexpected happened above...

  Just then, suddenly heard "da da da......"

  "Bang bang bang......"

  "Bang bang bang......"

  Everyone immediately looked vigilantly towards the depths of the tunnel.

  The depths of the tunnel were very dark, but there was something in there that made a "dada dada" sound, like someone rhythmically tapping on the floor...

  Everyone had no time to care about what happened at the wellhead and suddenly turned back to stare into the depths of the tunnel.

  The tunnel was pitch black inside, Wen Baiyu used his flashlight to shine in, Xiao Chong Long faced the depths of the tunnel with a menacing grin and heavy breathing.

  With a flash of white light from his flashlight, he saw something deep in the tunnel crawling towards them...

  It wasn't big, long and thin, lying on the ground, crawling towards them bit by bit, making a "dada" sound with each move, making everyone's hair stand on end.

  "What thing?" said Wen Kai, narrowing his eyes.

  Qī Sān Yé sat at the very back, using his flashlight to shine a light, and suddenly squinted his eyes, saying: "It's an arm."

  His words fell, and everyone shuddered, a sleeve?

  The first thought that flashed through their minds was Lang Feng's arm.

  "Bang bang bang, bang bang bang......bang......"

  The sound was getting closer and closer, everyone shone their flashlights forward, and soon they saw clearly what it was, and as Qi San Ye said, it was indeed a python!

  That arm was pressing against the ground, hopping and crawling forward in a jerky motion. The arm had rotted to an unbearable degree, with white bones exposed on its fingers, yet the five fingers were moving nimbly, like playing the piano, scratching against the floor, "dada dada" as it crawled forward.

  An arm can actually resurrect a corpse, just like it has grown eyes.

  Wen Baiyu held Xiao Chonglong tightly, fearing that he would become impulsive again. Xiao Chonglong panted heavily against his arm.

  The crowd slowly backed away, and at this moment, a loud shout of "Ahhh!" came from above. With the shouting voice, someone quickly slid down the rope from above, then rolled and crawled down the stairs in a rush. Some people jumped straight down with a "thud" and fell to the ground, unable to get up, their mouths full of stench.

  It was those people on the wellhead, for some reason, they all rushed down, because there were many of them, which provoked all the white-skinned dumplings in the cave to become lively and start "heh heh" loudly shouting, the entire well echoed with the shouts of the white-skinned dumplings.

  Many people rushed out like a burst dam, climbing down the stairs, and started jumping halfway down, as if something was chasing them from behind.

  Chang Abacus was more fortunate and did not suffer much injury. Seeing them, he was even more excited than seeing his own family, shouting: "Master Jing! We've finally found you!"

  Everyone turned their heads to look at the well mouth, and then cautiously looked at the arm in the depths of the tunnel. At some point, the "dada" sound suddenly disappeared, and the arm also quietly hid into the darkness.

  Everyone in front of Inokuchi fell down one after another, and it was also discovered that those white-skinned dumplings seemed to only chase them to the location of the cave, and didn't chase further down.

  Everyone lifted up the wounded and entered the tunnel one after another.

  Wen Baiyu quickly put Xiao Chonglong and Dandan into her backpack to hide them, then frowned and said: "What happened up there?"

  Chang Suanpan's face suddenly turned as if he was about to cry, and instead said to Wen Yue and Wen Jiu: "Elder Wen, Ninth Master! We just saw Lang Feng earlier! It was clear at a glance, it really looked like him!"

  Chang Suanpan was afraid that Wen Rui and Wen Jiu would not believe him, so he said: "Master also saw it, don't believe me? Ask Master!"

  Wen Baiyu didn't want to tell him that Yu Gui was already being trampled under his feet, and had been smashed into a muddy mess.

  The abacus said strangely: "Where did the young master run to?"

  He said, "It's really Feng, I saw it clearly, but isn't Feng already dead? We only pulled up one arm, could it be that the original Feng just had one broken arm and was still alive? That doesn't make sense either. The Feng we saw earlier, he had both arms! He...he wants to kill us!"

  Chang Suanpan was somewhat nervous and spoke very quickly, his shouts and echoes were heard in the deep tunnel.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly let out a "hiss" and covered his mouth with his hand, the sound was very light, but it seemed to have great authority, everyone immediately fell silent, not even daring to breathe loudly, all covering their mouths with their hands, afraid of making any noise.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and looked into the tunnel, saying: "Someone is coming."

  Is anyone there?

  Is there actually someone in this godforsaken place?

  Everyone was a little unbelievable, and they were afraid that what Wan Qi Jing Hou said was just an empty reference, and if it really existed, it must be a glutinous rice dumpling.

  All of a sudden, there was a "rustle rustle" sound, which was completely different from the "thud thud thud" sound made by that arm just now.

  This sound is like someone walking without lifting their feet, the soles of their shoes rubbing against the ground and making a dragging sound, giving off a very decadent feeling.

  Chang Suanpan took a step back in fright and said: "This... what is this sound..."

  As he spoke, the crowd picked up their guns and cautiously looked into the depths of the tunnel, shining their flashlights. In the darkness at the far end of the tunnel, a pale face was slowly walking towards them, swaying back and forth.

  He hunched his back, with both hands hanging down, just like a zombie in a disaster movie, walking step by step forward, the bones of his legs were a bit twisted, as if extremely distorted, his feet scraping against the ground, making "squeak-squeak" sounds.

  Chang Suanpan let out a loud "Ah——", his voice extremely high-pitched, scaring the people holding guns so much that they trembled. As soon as Chang Suanpan finished shouting, the sound of "peng peng peng" was heard, followed by the sound of Wan Kuang Jing Hou falling to the ground.

  The tunnel wasn't too wide, and with so many people standing inside, it was inevitable that there would be those in front and behind. Just as Chang was about to shout out loud, the crowd was startled, and subconsciously opened fire. Wan Kuang and Jing Hou were standing at the very front, and almost instantly became targets, not hitting the dumplings but instead riddling them with bullet holes.

  Wen Baiyu was pressed to the ground by Wan Kuangjinghou, and the crowd also quickly fell to the ground. Gunshots rang out, "Boom boom boom" echoing in the tunnel.

  "Bang!" The dumpling was hit and suddenly fell backwards, falling to the ground with a thud, and immediately stopped moving.

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief, and it was only then that the person in front finally got up from the ground. Chang's face was still pale, and he pointed at the zongzi on the ground, trembling as he said: "He...he...he is Xie Fēngzǐ..."

  Only four survivors were left at that time. Now Yu Gui has also become a dead man, leaving only Wen Xuan, Wen Jiu Mu and Chang Suan Pan.

  Chang Suanpan's face turned pale as he stared at the dumplings scattered on the ground, saying: "It really is him..."

  Wen Ke and Wen Jiu Mu stared at Xie Feng Zi on the ground in shock, it was indeed Xie Feng Zi. Although they hadn't had much contact before, their impression of him was very deep. Xie Feng Zi was unkempt and already in a state of madness for research.

  Especially when Xie Fengzi finally jumped into the well himself, such a crazy move was really scary, how could Wen Lei and Wen Jiumu not remember it.

  "This well is too evil!"

  Someone shouted loudly, looking like they were already done for and wanted to quit, but there was a strong wind above chasing them. Moreover, if they tried to climb out from the well mouth, they would inevitably encounter those white-skinned dumplings in the cave. Earlier, they had slid down at such a high speed that they almost got caught and killed; if they climbed up instead, wouldn't they be torn apart?

  They had no choice but to continue moving forward, looking for a place to dig a hole and escape.

  But as soon as they thought of the depth of the well, everyone seemed to have lost hope again. Although they had equipment, how many years would it take to dig a hole to such a great height?

  Xie Fengzi was still lying on the ground, said to be Yangfeng's uncle, but Wen Baiyu couldn't see any resemblance between them, not even in appearance. Even though Xie Fengzi was already dead, his face still had that crazy expression, it was hard to say what kind of expression it was, maybe he was just hanging on, anyway, Wen Baiyu thought it was particularly awkward.

  The crowd walked past one by one, heading deep into the tunnel. They didn't dare to move Xie's body, fearing something unexpected would happen. Suddenly, someone let out a loud "Ah!" The person's movements were very strange, shouting while struggling to turn their head, their face deathly pale, with a terrifying gaze.

  Wen Baiyu turned his head and saw that Xie Kuangzi had actually moved!

  Xie Fengzi crawled up from the ground, grasped the man's ankle with his hand, and had a ferocious smile at the corner of his mouth, which made Wen Baiyu feel chilled to the core.

  That man looked clearly and shouted "ah" again, he had a gun in his hand and shot two shots at Xie Tuozi on the ground, Xie Tuozi's eyeballs were suddenly blown up, but he didn't react at all, still holding onto his ankle, as if he was not the one being shot.

  That man was so scared, Xie Fengzi's mouth made a "heh heh" sound, and with a sudden burst of strength, he jumped up from the ground, wrapped his arms around that man, pulled him back, and then opened his mouth to bite down fiercely.

  "Ahhh!!!!"

  That man was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes narrowed as he suddenly threw out the dragon-scale dagger with its scabbard, hitting Xie Kuangzi's forehead with a "thud".

  Xie Fengzi was forcefully thrown out and flew away, the people behind him quickly dodged, Xie Fengzi "thudded" against the well wall and flew far away.

  Everyone shouted "Ghost!" and rushed into the tunnel, afraid that if they ran a bit slower, they would be bitten by the zongzi.

  Xie Fengzi was struck by Wan Kui Jinghou's dragon-scale dagger and fell to the ground motionless, it is unknown whether he will rise again as a corpse.

  No one dared to go and see, so they had to walk towards the tomb path instead.

  It seemed quieter in front, that arm didn't appear again, only leaving a dark tunnel.

  There are obvious murals on both sides, which are well preserved and have not been damaged by anyone. However, due to years of weathering, some of them are blurry.

  Because the well was open, the sound of "Woo" wind could be heard in the well, like a ghost crying at night. From time to time, there were gusts of wind blowing through the hall, and Wen Baiyu pulled the lock all the way up to his neck. The cool air was too strong, making him feel a chill all over his body.

  The crowd walked deep into the tomb passage, and it was very quiet inside. About half an hour passed, nothing happened, and everyone relaxed, starting to bandage their wounds or drink water and eat food, but they didn't stop moving, everything was done while in motion.

  Chang Suanpan found that You Gui was gone, but didn't dare to ask and kept following them. It seemed like he thought Wan Qi Jing Hou was particularly reliable and didn't dare leave his side for a step.

  Then there was a "crack" sound, and someone seemed to have tripped, letting out a terrified shout.

  Chang Suanpan is now frightened by the sudden appearance of a snake in the grass, and immediately goes to pull Wang Jiehou.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou disdainfully waved his hand, lightly dodging Chang's outstretched arm, and swiftly moved to the side, landing on Wen Bai Yu's body.

  Wen Baiyu smiled, and the look of disdain in Mo Jue's eyes was exactly the same as Xiao Chui Long's. It seemed that it was indeed hereditary, but Xiao Chui Long had the same face as him...

  Chang Suanpan was startled and that person hurriedly apologized, only tripping once, also being frightened.

  "Crack!"

  Another sound.

  "Who the hell is scaring people again!?"

  At this time, the sound of "gurgling gurgling" came from the tomb passage, the sound was very clear, and it was getting faster and clearer, and it was approaching them.

  Wen Baiyu's expression suddenly tensed up, this time it wasn't someone who had tripped, but rather someone might have triggered the mechanism!

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou looked at the depths of the tomb passage and suddenly said: "It's a human head."

  He finished speaking for about two seconds, and the person in front immediately shouted: "Damn so many heads!!"

  Suddenly there was "Boom! Boom! Boom!" - the sound of gunfire.

  The crowd immediately dispersed to both sides, tightly sticking to the walls of the tomb passage. A large number of heads rolled out from the depths of the tomb passage, which was flat, but the heads were rolling down like a tide, necessarily with a drop in potential energy.

  A person's head, surprisingly similar to a white-skinned zongzi, with extremely pale skin and a ferocious expression. It turns out that those zongzi were indeed funeral objects, gathered on top of the tomb, and didn't dare to come down.

  "Gurgle... gurgle..."

  "Gurgle... gurgle..."

  "Gurgle... Gurgle..."

  A head rolled out like crazy, rolling extremely fast, rushing towards them. The crowd squeezed on both sides of the tomb passage, watching as human heads flowed by like a river, scaring everyone stupid.

  Those heads had a foul odor, possibly because they had been locked up for too long and suddenly released, carrying a rotten smell.

  Wen Baiyu covered his mouth and nose, Wan Qi Jinghou stretched out his hand to stop him, Wen Kai and Wen Jiumu were just leaning on the other side of the tomb path, Wen Baiyu was a little worried.

  Fortunately, these heads did not resurrect, feeling dead to the extreme, only in large numbers, very spectacular, human heads rolling out and sprinkling on the ground, the sound getting smaller and smaller, slowly subsiding.

  The turbulent waves of human heads thus subsided...

  But everyone was no longer calm, looking at the pile of people's heads below, dense and crowded, one after another, almost impossible to pass through, with no place to land.

  "What the hell is going on?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "What is this place after all? A place for sacrifice? That doesn't need to involve so many human heads either."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at the head on the ground and said, "This looks like a burial sacrifice."

  Chang Suanpan's eyes lit up and he said, "Buried with him? What a fighter!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Just entering the fight and it's like this, even if it's a fierce fight."

  Chang Suanpan was somewhat disheartened by his words, but as soon as he thought that when they came down, there was no bloodshed or dragon's roar, it was possible that those fierce and evil things were all asleep...

  The crowd waited for about five minutes, and the people on the ground still didn't make a move. It wasn't until then that they dared to continue walking, and no one dared to walk in front of Wang Qiuhou anymore. They all quietly followed behind him.

  Because there were too many people on the ground, everyone walked with caution, fearing that they would accidentally touch a corpse.

  Wan Xi Jinghou suddenly looked at a recessed wall and said, "The mechanism here has been triggered by someone."

  Chang Suanpan let out a shout and said, "Master Jing, don't scare people. We've all been following you, and we stopped moving for five minutes before seeing this sunken thing. Could it be that there are still people ahead of us?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said, "I don't know if it's human or not."

  Chang's face suddenly turned as green as a leaf.

  Everyone took a closer look at the recessed wall surface, and it was indeed a mechanism, a plate-type one. This kind of mechanism blended in well with the wall surface and wouldn't normally be discovered.

  Xie Yan carefully went to look at the mechanism, Wen Baiyu and the others had already walked a long way. Xie Yan crouched on the ground alone, not afraid of the people's heads on the ground, suddenly shouted: "Wen Baiyu!"

  Wen Baiyu turned around and saw Xie Yan had fallen far behind, thinking he had encountered something, immediately led the people to run back, Xie Yan was still carefully studying the mechanism.

  "What's wrong?"

  Xie Yan pointed at the mechanism and said: "There... is a mark here."

  Xie Yan said, using his gun to push away the human heads, those dense and numerous heads rolled on the ground, almost covering the entire floor. Xie Yan pushed away the human heads and saw the marks on the wall.

  If it weren't for Xie Yan's careful observation, these marks would have been overlooked by them.

  It was a mark made by Xie Lin'gong, they had also seen this kind of mark in Liu Yu's tomb, and they were already familiar with Xie Lin'gong's way of making marks.

  There were two words written here: "Danger".

  There is also an arrow pointing forward, indicating that it is safe to move forward.

  Xie Yan stared at these marks in shock, reached out and touched them, saying: "It's Mr. carved, he really came here."

  Although Wen Baiyu thought it was unbelievable, now it seems that Xie Linlang is the Langfeng from back then. He broke one arm and perhaps didn't die but instead survived, leaving a mark in the tomb.

  But it is unknown what Xie Lin encountered, perhaps there are more bizarre things in this tomb that stimulated him, causing memory problems.

  Wen Baiyu had inquired about Wen Ke and Wen Jiu Mu before, previously Lang Feng was a taciturn person, looking like a university student, very well-mannered, not talking much, but he wouldn't have memory problems or forgetfulness, after all they had been crossing the desert for so long, definitely more than a week, Lang Feng's memory was fine, the problem must have occurred after entering the ancient well.

  There are too many human heads on the ground, as if someone in front of them wants to bury this mark.

  Chang Suanpan immediately laughed and said: "This little brother has good eyesight, otherwise we wouldn't have discovered such an important clue. Someone really did enter before us?"

  "Isn't this a pitfall? Is there still treasure?"

  The meaning of "filter pit" and "secondary palace" is almost the same, both refer to repeated digging, indicating that someone has already dug this land before.

  Chang Abacus is skeptical, thinking that there must be something inside, and even if there isn't, they have to go in and find a weak spot to drill a hole out.

  Everyone had no choice but to continue walking, but they all reached a unified consensus.

  That's when someone pressed the mechanism, and the human heads came out. These human heads won't come back to life, they look like they were buried with the dead, and don't pose a great threat. The purpose is to conceal the marks on the wall surface, it's actually an obstacle-removing technique. They only need to follow these marks to continue moving forward, and they'll definitely find the exit. Who knows, they might not even need to dig a tunnel, even if it's a filtering pit, they can still get out safely.

  Wen Bai Yu furrowed her brow and looked at the marks on the wall.

  "What's wrong?" said Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu shook her head and said, "Nothing, just a moment ago, I felt something strange in my mind, like something was off."

  But where was it off, Wen Baiyu couldn't say for a moment, this feeling was very subtle, and a bit elusive.

  "There's also a mark on this side!"

  "Look over here!"

  "Look quickly, the marker turned this way!"

  Everyone followed the signs and walked forward, and there were indeed many signs on the wall that extended all the way. When they encountered a fork in the road, it would clearly indicate which direction to go, with "Danger" written on the other side.

  Everyone is a native son, at least some suspicion still exists, especially Chang Suanpan's suspicion is very heavy, he is very clever and afraid that this is a trap set by the people in front of him, so he left a mind.

  Everyone stood at the fork in the road, Chang took out a fluorescent stick from his backpack, lit it up and held it in his hand, saying: "Let's wait for a while before moving on."

  He said, rolling a fluorescent stick into the fork in the road marked "Danger".

  "Gurgle... gurgle..."

  The fluorescent stick was frozen stiff, rolling slowly along the floor with a "gurgling" sound, because Chang's abacus was also afraid and didn't dare to use force, and saw the fluorescent stick slowly rolling in.

  It rolled in very far, and nothing happened all the time. Just when the glow stick's light was about to disappear from their line of sight, they suddenly heard "whoosh whoosh whoosh"

  Bronze crossbow bolts/arrows shot out from both walls of the tomb passage, from top to bottom, all were small holes for crossbow bolts/arrows, and there was no way to avoid them.

  The glow stick was hit by a crossbow/arrows and immediately rolled up with a "ding-dong" sound, bouncing back and hitting the wall of the tomb passage.

  Everyone held their breath, watching the small bright spot of the fluorescent stick being knocked around and slowly extinguished. They all felt a chill down their spine. Indeed, it was dangerous, with so many projectiles flying everywhere in a dense and comprehensive manner. Even someone with Wan Jie's skills might not be able to avoid them all.

  Chang abacus patted his chest and said: "Great, fortunately there are these marks, let's go quickly."

  After the sound of the crossbow/arrows disappeared, everyone immediately turned around and wanted to head towards the marked fork in the road, just as they heard the "hēi——hēi——" sound coming from behind their backs.

  Wan Qi Jinghou suddenly said: "Not good, there are zongzi coming."

  Perhaps it was the loud noise that attracted the zongzi, and everyone heard a strange cry of "heh-heh" coming from the tomb path. Immediately, they rushed into another fork in the road.

  Because of the signal, those people began to rush forward in fear of falling behind and being trampled by the zongzi, all of them ran past Wan Qi Jing Hou, and for a time, Wen Bai Yu and others became the bottom.

  A loud roar of "Hoo---hooo" came from the tomb passage behind, and something rushed out quickly, as if chasing them. The crowd ran forward, and Wan Qi Jinghou grabbed Wen Baiyu's arm and pulled him to run forward too.

  Wen Baiyu still thought that Qi San Ye's body was disabled and there was no wheelchair, so he would need someone to take care of him. However, it seemed that he had misjudged him. Qi San Ye was becoming more and more interesting to Wen Baiyu. He was a master of martial arts, not only could he hit the iron egg accurately, but his arm strength was also astonishing, not losing to other able-bodied people at all.

  Crowds rushed into the tomb passage with markers, and the voices in front shouted: "Hurry! Run quickly! This way! There are markers here!! Hurry up!"

  Wen Bai Yu ran along with the crowd and saw those marks, there were many marks on the wall, all the way to the depths of the tomb passage, and even wrote "Danger, run fast".

  The crowd rushed in, running all the way, with the sound of "hōu——hōu——" constantly chasing after them, but never saw any shadow, only heard the huge strange cries and the sound of frantic running.

  The crowd ran wildly for twenty minutes, a full twenty minutes, non-stop charging forward, dashing towards the finish line with all their might, almost everyone was exhausted, panting heavily in the tomb-like path, running until they were completely soaked in sweat.

  They passed by several tombs, but the signs didn't point in, and surprisingly no one entered the tomb to hide, they all followed the signs with blind faith and ran forward.

  When they were exhausted, someone shouted: "Look! Run over here! Come in quickly! The ones behind are coming fast!"

  Everyone called out to each other, suddenly turned a corner and rushed into a tomb, the "hē hē" sound behind them getting closer and closer. Wan Qi Jing Hou brought Wen Bai Yu in as well.

  After they came in, someone pointed at the mark on the tomb wall, and there was a line of small words below it: "Press down heavily to trigger the mechanism, isolate the glutinous rice".

  "Look at the abacus, think for a moment, shout: "Dumplings are coming! Hurry up and press down to go!"

  Someone quickly pressed the plate-type mechanism on the wall, and a loud rumbling sound was heard. The door of the tomb chamber fell down in an instant, isolating the inside and outside of the tomb chamber, but it wasn't a stone gate, a wooden gate or a bronze gate.

  But...

  Iron net

  This craftsmanship is absolutely impossible for ancient people to make.

  Everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly rushed towards the iron net, with only one thought in their minds: they had fallen into the trap!

  The iron net was shaken by everyone with a "rumbling" sound, but it was extremely strong and couldn't be broken open at all.

  Everyone has tools and explosives on them. No sooner had he spoken than someone took off their backpack and went to dismantle the iron net.

  Just then, a "hū-hū-hū" sound was suddenly heard, slowly coming from the tomb passage, extremely clear, as if it were right next to me.

  Those thugs next to the iron net were immediately frightened, quickly retreating backwards, looking at the outside of the iron net in horror, using their flashlights to shine, and the zongzi was actually chasing after them. Now everyone's heart is filled with unknown feelings, truly grateful for this iron net that can keep the zongzi out.

  "Hmm——hmm——hmm——"

  "Hmm——hmm——hmm——"

  "Hah——hah——hah——"

  The sound was always a tune, repeated three times, Wen Baiyu frowned, feeling that the sound was strange.

  In the midst of repeated strange cries, they heard "creak... creak..." sounds, which were footsteps, and slow and deliberate, seemingly very leisurely, slowly walking towards them.

  Just as the strange cry of "Hoo---hooo" was only a door away, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, and at the same time, the footsteps also came to a stop.

  Outside the iron gate, there is a person standing.

  The man was wearing a black windbreaker, with a suit jacket underneath, and had a single-lens reflex camera hanging from his neck. He held the camera in one hand, while the other hand grasped a mobile phone that was repeating a recording, emitting "Heh---heh---heh---" sounds.

  The most bizarre thing was that the man was still holding a camera, taking pictures of them, capturing every terrified and shocked face.

  Chang Suanpan suddenly saw that person and frantically shouted: "Lan Feng!!?"

  The man standing outside the door, with a gentle and gentlemanly appearance, lightly waved his mobile phone to let them see that he had been chasing after them from behind just now, but only made noise without any impact, and smiled at them in a friendly manner.

  This is Xie Linchong!

  Xie Yan stared at Xie Lin in shock and said: "Sir? How are you here?"

  Xie Lin looked over, a cold indifference on his pale face, and said: "I was about to ask, how did you end up here? Was it I who let you come?"

  Xie Yan was asked and immediately fell silent, closing his mouth and pursing his lips, as if thinking of an answer, but he couldn't come up with a single one.

  Wen Ke and Wen Jiu Mu looked at Xie Lin Liang, Xie Lin Liang was exactly the same as many years ago, seemingly unchanged by age, but more elegant, appearing high above, like a noble, looking at these prisoners in iron cages.

  "It's really you."

  Xie Lin said with a smile: "Didn't you expect it?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "It's not that I didn't think of it, but just didn't understand your intention..."

  He said, and then said: "Just now I felt strange, those hundreds of people rolling out, were not to blur our vision, but actually the real purpose is to let us discover the mechanism on the tomb wall, right?"

  Xie Lin nodded silently without saying a word.

  Wen Baiyu said: "You enter the desert once a year, all these are in your careful plan, the marks on the tomb wall, at first they were all correct, to numb our thinking, when we reached the fork in the road, it was even more carefully designed by you, first with crossbows/arrows, and then suddenly appearing zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings), driving all the deeply trusting people into this tomb chamber, and then catching them off guard?"

  Xie Lin said with a smile: "You're right."

  He said, gesturing with his camera, "You know, I only have a memory of one week. To complete these things, how much effort will it take?"

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'What is your purpose?'"

  Xie Lin said two simple words: "Revenge".

  "Ah, no, no, no! Lang Feng, you can't say that. We were all unaware at the time and didn't expect Xie to be so cruel as to throw you down. Afterwards, we all rushed to pull you back up..."

  He said, Xie Lin'ao raised the camera, seemingly wanting to take a picture of Chang Suanpan. Chang Suanpan saw the lens and was frightened, hiding behind Wen Pei and Wen Jiumu, saying: "They... they also have a share!"

  Xie Lin said with a smile: "How, you think I'm a fool? My memory may only last for a week, but my IQ isn't that low."

  Chang Suanpan was so frightened that he said: "It's... it's all Xie Fengzi's fault, and also... also You Gui! It has nothing to do with me!"

  Wen Baiyu looked at Xie Linwan and said, "Since you said you've figured out the whole story, why did you lock up so many people here? You're not going to take revenge on all of them, are you?"

  Xie Linling smiled and shook his head, saying: "Who made them too greedy? Of course, I won't kill people indiscriminately. I don't like killing people indiscriminately either. Wen Baiyu, you can rest assured that your two uncles have nothing to do with this matter."

  He said, looking at Chang's abacus, "Yu Gui is already dead, now only you are left."

  Chang Suanpan let out a loud cry and retreated all the way back, pressing himself tightly against the tomb wall, saying: "No! It really wasn't my fault!"

  Xie Lin glanced at the crowd and said, "I think I can ask any of you to help me kill Chang Suanpan. Wen Baiyu, you also know that I'm currently unable to lift my shoulders or hands, I'm almost a useless person. Killing him would take too much time and effort, it's not worth it."

  Everyone was motionless, staring at Xie Linxiao outside with a look of shock.

  Xie Lin said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I have time, but you don't have much time left."

  As soon as he said this, everyone began to stir up, and someone shouted: "What do you mean!"

  Xie Lin said: "This tomb has a very unpleasant smell of rot, actually it's not the smell of rot, but toxic gas. In fact, it is commonly known as a suffocating pit."

  Everyone was stunned on the spot, what is a warm white feather that has never been in contact with.

  Xie Lin looked at Wen Baiyu with some surprise, smiling and explaining: "When the body is buried, in order to prevent decay, some medicinal materials are added to the body or the coffin liquid to preserve it. The medicinal materials are anti-corrosion agents and also a toxic gas that grave robbers fear. The release of the toxic gas is a slow process, and after inhaling a certain amount, one will unknowingly suffocate."

  Xie Lin's tone was calm, but the others were not. They all looked at Chang Suanpan, if they didn't take action to kill Chang Suanpan, Xie Lin would not open the door, and they would all suffocate to death in this airtight pit.

  Wen Baiyu looked at Xie Linwan, Xie Linwan was still very calm, Xie Yan narrowed his eyes and suddenly raised his gun, pointing it at Chang Suanpan.

  Xie Lin'gang furrowed his brow and coldly shouted: "I didn't tell you to take action."

  Xie Yan was slightly surprised and looked at Xie Lin'er, saying: "Sir?"

  Xie Lin's meaning is to kill Chang Suanpan, Xie Yan naturally wants to take the job, but doesn't understand why Xie Lin won't let him do it.

  Chang abacus was startled, constantly backing away, saying: "No no no, don't listen to him!"

  Xie Lin said with a smile: "The best candidates in my heart are Wen Xue and Wen Jiumu, of course, others can also be considered."

  Wen Baiyu looked at Xie Linwan, Xie Linwan's face wore a smile, but revealed a hint of cruelty.

  "Wen Baiyu hesitantly asked: 'What did you encounter in this tomb?'"

  Xie Lin smiled and said, "Metamorphosis."

  Two inexplicable words, nobody can understand.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou frowned and said: "You are a cicada."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly understood, and all of a sudden everything became clear. It turned out that Xie Lin was a cicada!

  Xie Linlang and Ye Liuxiang were both cicadas, in Liu Yu's tomb at that time Xie Linlang was very weak, suddenly fell ill, convulsing non-stop on the ground, actually it wasn't a seizure, but he was molting!

  They never thought Xie Lin would also be a cicada, so they didn't consider the direction of the cicada shell.

  Moreover, there were so many people sucked of blood in Liu Yu's tomb, obviously done by the Blood Cicada. At that time, only Ye Liuxiang was a cicada, and the rest was Xie Lianqiao.

  Xie Lin nodded slightly and gestured for them to look back.

  Chang Suanpan turned his head back, earlier they didn't notice, after all Xie Lin's appearance was too eye-catching, and they didn't pay attention to what was in this tomb chamber. Now that he took a look back.

  Chang's abacus let out a loud "ahhh" as he fell directly onto the ground, almost fainting, staring at something behind him in terror.

  Behind Chang's abacus, a human skin was lying on the ground. It was a very complete human skin, although it was a bit wrinkled and dry, but its appearance could be vaguely seen. Now, after Xie Lin's mention of "transformation", everyone who looked at that skin felt like it was Xie Lin.

  A glistening piece of human skin, from head to toe, was all there, except for one arm. The entire skin lay on the ground, like a rug. The skin had turned dark purple due to wind drying and stared with two hollow eyes, under the pale light of the flashlight, exceptionally terrifying.

  Xie Lin was attacked by something after being thrown into the grave, lost an arm, and what happened afterwards is unknown. However, judging from Xie Lin's expression, it must have been extremely miserable. After all, this grave is not simple, and the rope is not long enough. At that time, Xie Lin's blood splattered out, possibly because he was about to be dismembered by the white-skinned zongzi.

  Later, a transformation occurred. It's unknown whether Xie Fengzi knew it all along or not, but under intense stimulation, Xie Lin'gong might have already died, yet unexpectedly underwent ecdysis, shedding his dead skin and even growing out a complete arm.

  Xie Yan looked at the skin, covered his mouth, and suddenly felt dizzy. He took two steps back, behind him was a sacrificial table, made of bronze, in the shape of a dragon candle holder.

  Xie Yan retreated and accidentally knocked over the altar table, stretched out his hand to touch it, and suddenly heard a "sizzling" sound. Xie Yan's hand was scorched as if burned, emitting a smoky smell, and the palm of his hand turned black, almost burning a hole in it.

  No one expected this turn of events. It was just an ordinary altar table, and due to the commotion, someone had even bumped into it earlier, but nothing happened.

  Xie Lin's expression suddenly tensed up, and he said: "Damn it, who told you to touch that thing? Get away quickly!"

  Xie Yan stared at his palm in shock, Wen Baiyu also looked at his palm in surprise. His palm was like a fire, the dark color still spreading outward non-stop. The feeling was as if Xie Yan was actually just a ghost, and his palm had been scorched by strong yang energy...
