Chapter 125: Yuanyuan Water Crystal Tomb 4

  The man saw them, first shocked, then swung his arm, and the python on his arm was about to pounce on them. Ming Gui quickly pressed a button on his back, and a golden needle came out of his back and hit the snake's head and body. In an instant, the python that was just fiercely attacking suddenly fell to the ground with a "thud", its mouth open, as if still drooling...

  The man saw a snake lying on the ground and immediately ran over, shouting: "Xiaobai!"

  He burst out laughing with a "hahaha" and said: "This snake is actually called Little White."

  The man snarled with tiger teeth, glaring at them, his tail behind him swishing back and forth.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'What kind of person are you, why do you want to scheme against us?'"

  The man grunted and obviously didn't want to talk to Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou took a glance at the giant python lying on the ground and frowned, saying: "Snake Gu?"

  Ming Gui looked at the giant python on the ground, his face still very expressionless, without a ripple, but said: "It's still a few thousand years old Gu mother, taking it back to soak in wine is not bad."

  Everyone was somewhat surprised. Was Minggui joking? However, there wasn't a hint of a smile on his face, so he must have been serious.

  The giant python, although its whole body was numb and soft, seemed to have understood, and immediately bounced twice on the ground, as if in protest.

  The man immediately blocked Little White behind him and said, "No way, you can't move Little White."

  Wen Baiyu thought that this man seemed to be missing a few screws, and for some reason, he wanted to trick them twice. Did he not want them to find this tomb?

  As a result, I heard the man continue to say loudly: "Xiaobai is my mouthful."

  The little white thing on the ground convulsed again and simply lay its head on the ground, continuing to drool...

  Wan Qi Jing Hou raised an eyebrow and said: "Are you Qiong Ji?"

  Wen Bai Yu looked up and down at the man in surprise and said, "Is this what a poor and strange person looks like?"

  Jiǔ Mìng immediately said: "How strange, he has grown a fox tail, but he is absolutely not a Fox Spirit, Fox Spirits don't have such a sturdy build, it's more like an Ox Nose!"

  Everyone took a closer look and found that the man indeed had the characteristics of a Qiong Qi, with porcupine-like hair, a tall and robust build, looking like a fierce beast, with bronze-colored skin, smooth muscles, it is said that Qiong Qi resembles an ox but has a fox tail, and its voice sounds like a dog.

  An Ran said with a strange tone: "Isn't Qiu Qi the one who eats snakes? How did he raise a snake?"

  Qiong Qi didn't deny himself, but proudly raised his chin and smiled: "Because I'm too smart to know how to make a living."

  The little white on the ground twitched again, although Xiao Bai's whole body was paralyzed by the golden needles, but he still heard it clearly. When he heard Qiong Qi's words, his face showed a look of disdain and despair...

  Everyone was also speechless, indeed too clever, thinking it's raising chickens to slaughter and eat?! That's a snake gall, or even a mother gall, how much time does it take to cultivate a snake gall, especially such a big snake gall!

  The bright ghost looked at Gu Qi and said, "Why do you want to plot against us?"

  Qiong Qi looked at everyone with a face full of disdain and said: "Because you are not good people."

  He said, and was about to pull out the golden needles from Xiao Bai's body.

  "Don't say I didn't tell you, if the golden needle isn't used with the right technique to lift the needle, your snake will be paralyzed for life."

  The poor and strange fox looked at Minggui with suspicion, but Minggui's expression was always the same, no matter how you looked at it, his face was paralyzed, without a single wrinkle.

  The strange gaze swept around, the white tail like a fox suddenly rolled up, and the lid of the coffin was rolled up with a loud "crack". His tail was incredibly powerful, and in an instant, it lifted the lid of the coffin, and from inside the coffin, a zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling) crawled out instantly.

  There is coffin fluid in the coffin, and the zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling) crawled out from inside. It's still a wet zongzi, but it's preserved quite well. However, the skin has shrunk a bit, and the eyes have also shrunk. It looks extremely disgusting.

  The zongzi seemed to be under the control of Gu Qi, and after running out of the coffin, it instantly pounced on the crowd.

  At this time, Qiong Qi suddenly picked up the giant python on the ground, carried it on his shoulder, and didn't forget to grab the ration backpack that Ming Gui had left for him. He quickly retreated backwards, his tail swishing back and forth, and knocked a few times on the wall surface, as if he had found some mechanism. The wall surface cracked open a hole, and Qiong Qi's agile figure darted in, the hole on the wall surface closing with a "boom" sound.

  The zongzi came over, apparently just stalling for time and not being very fierce. The crowd led the zongzi back into the coffin, closed the lid, and soon the zongzi was motionless.

  Jiǔ Mìng said: "This strange and poor thing, what's going on?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou thought for a moment and said, "Qiong Qi is the son of Shao Hai, so he should be even higher in rank than Gun. I reckon he's the ferocious beast guarding the tomb."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly realized something, and suddenly remembered that Qiong Qi had said before that some people wanted to find this place, but in the end they didn't come out, probably because they fell into Qiong Qi's trap.

  There are so many sea cucumbers outside the tomb, and there are still so many mechanisms inside the tomb. It's really not easy to walk in.

  A crowd gathered near the tomb wall where Qiong Qi had disappeared. Wen Baiyu imitated Qiong Qi's actions, touching the wall several times, but found no mechanism or switch. He knocked on the wall with his fingers, and suddenly heard a "click" sound. The wall began to shake violently, then burst open to both sides, revealing a large cave.

  Inside the cave is pitch black, it also looks like a tomb, all are transparent crystal, because the deep sea is also very dark, if you don't turn on the lights, you can hardly see anything.

  Wen Baiyu shone her flashlight around, but Qiu Qi was nowhere to be found, and there was no sound coming from ahead.

  Everyone stepped into the cave, and the cave quickly closed, making a "creaking" sound. Ming Gui turned his head to take a look and said, "It's gears."

  He said, listening carefully to the sound until all the portholes were closed, then frowned and said: "Strange, this gear sound is very similar to the gear of the underwater factory."

  An Ran was slightly surprised, if it were just the sound, he wouldn't be able to tell that it was Yan. Although Ming Gui looked young, his research on machinery was surprisingly deep, and he could distinguish between them just by listening to the sounds.

  Everyone walked along the path to the grave, and the path seemed very long. All the way was a sea view, just like before. This kind of path made people feel that it was constantly changing. No matter when, the sea view outside the path was different. If you stared at the outside, it was easy to get distracted.

  After walking for a while, Jiǔ Mìng suddenly covered his nose and said: "What smell is this? It's so stinky!"

  Jiǔ Mìng's sense of smell was more sensitive now, he first caught a whiff of something foul, and soon everyone else did too. It was the stench of rotting corpses, all too familiar.

  Everyone quickened their pace, moving forward. After a few more steps, the white light of the flashlight shone ahead and revealed five or six people lying horizontally in the tomb passage, their bodies piled on top of each other. Five or six adult men lay across the middle of the tomb passage, almost blocking all the roads.

  Those corpses have already started to rot, looking at their clothes, they are at least old generation Taoists, with backpacks on their backs, the backpacks look bulging.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou kicked the backpacks with his feet, and there was no movement inside, but he could hear the sound of metal. He squatted down and used a dagger to pry open the backpacks, only to see that they were stuffed full, one backpack was filled with funeral objects, it seemed that they were taken from a tomb.

  Wen Baiyu also opened a backpack, inside which were moldy bread, and surprisingly, there were even canned goods, and no shortage of water.

  Reopening other bags, most of them were dowry or burial objects and offerings that had been pressed down, with a clay figurine still clutching a string of pearls in its hand, probably also taken from the coffin.

  These country bumpkins looked terrified, as if they had received a great shock. The look of terror on their faces was really indescribable.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou used a spoon/ladle to flip through their clothes and said: "There are no external injuries, they were scared to death."

  Jiǔ Mìng shuǎi le yī xià, shuō: "Xià sǐ de? Tāmen kàn dào le shén me?"

  Translation:

  Jiǔ Mìng trembled slightly and said: "Scared to death? What did they see?"

  An Ran suddenly lifted her head and said, "There's a sound ahead!"

  Everyone listened and immediately looked forward, they quickly walked a few steps, and saw that the front tomb path suddenly changed its layout. The transparent walls on both sides no longer had floral patterns, but were replaced by one "display cabinet" after another.

  Transparent "display cabinet", just like there is a sandwich layer in the wall, what is presented in the display cabinet is all a bear!

  Those yellow bears in the transparent display cabinet seem to be specimens, each with different movements and vividly lifelike, looking very ferocious.

  One by one, the display cabinets were lined up in a row. At a glance, there were about ten yellow bears. These yellow bears were all tall and majestic. One of them could lie horizontally across two-thirds of the tomb passage, and its height was almost enough to reach the top of the tomb's dome.

  Mo Yi said: "Is this sound made by those yellow bears?"

  An Ran listened carefully and said, "No, it's still ahead."

  He was saying this when Wen Baiyu suddenly said: "Qiong Qi!"

  Everyone ran a few steps forward and saw Qiu Qi standing at the end of the tomb path, almost submerged in darkness. The corners of his mouth were raised in a smile, as if he was somewhat pleased with himself, but his image had nothing to do with being pleased.

  Only to see Qiong Qi's whole body was smooth and shiny, still not wearing clothes. The python, due to the golden needle, was still paralyzed and being carried on Qiong Qi's shoulder. Qiong Qi's smooth back had a backpack of rations on it, which just happened to cover his protruding buttocks.

  Qiong Qi stood at the end of the tomb path, his legs spread apart as wide as his shoulders, his hands still on his hips, with a very pleased expression, because he was not wearing anything, and the key position below was shining brightly.

  Wen Baiyu had an urge to stretch out her hand and support her forehead, while Dan/Dan curiously stretched his head out to take a look. Xiao Zhu Long then spread open its own wings, covering Dan/Dan's eyes, saying: "Can't look, will grow needle eyes."

  The egg was even more curious, blinking its innocent and mischievous big eyes at the little dragon candle.

  The poor guy's mouth made a "heh heh" sound, and said: "I advise you not to go any further. If you pull out the needles on Xiaobai's body, I might be able to forgive you."

  Ming Gui didn't even glance at him, instead gently pressing his hand against his back, a golden needle emerged from the flesh of his back. Ming Gui slowly pulled out the golden needle from his flesh, Gu Qi saw this action and felt goosebumps all over his body.

  The poor old man gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, you didn't listen to me, now let you taste some bitter fruit."

  He said, stretching out his hand to pat the tomb wall beside him. All the transparent display cabinets suddenly made a "click" sound, and one by one, they opened up. The yellow bear specimens surprisingly came back to life in an instant, letting out a loud roar of "Rooooar!", and fiercely jumped out of the display cabinets.

  Ten yellow bears rushed out of the showcase together, and the scene was really magnificent. The tomb passage was suddenly filled with a loud noise, and General Wan Qi Jinghou suddenly swung his sword and stabbed it into the palm of a yellow bear, shouting at the people in front: "Catch the thief first catch the king."

  Ming Gui rolled on the ground and looked up at Qiong Qi, who was standing in the innermost circle. Qiong Qi seemed to be full of confidence, waiting for them to be surrounded by Huang Xiong, and did not escape like before.

  Ming Gui suddenly ducked down to avoid Huang Xiong's slap, then rolled on the ground and quickly got up to charge forward.

  The strange gaze rose, and the giant python on his shoulder suddenly convulsed. The bright ghost was about to rush over, but Qiong Qi had not yet discovered it.

  The giant python's whole body was limp and soft, and it could only drool when it moved. It looked at the saliva on the ground with a disgusting expression and said: "Xiaobai, you're drooling, tonight I'll make snake soup."

  Xiao Bai was so angry that his two green bean eyes rolled back, and at this moment, Ming Gui suddenly pounced from the side.

  Qiong Qi was still watching the commotion, and didn't notice Ming Gui sneaking up on him. He was suddenly knocked to the ground by Ming Gui, and the giant python on his shoulder was flung off with a "whoosh", landing directly on the ground.

  He was a tall and sturdy man, but in an instant he was knocked to the ground by the bright ghost. His head hit the ground with a "thud", his back almost shattered, and the back of his skull nearly cracked open. He felt dizzy for a moment before quickly regaining consciousness. The fox-like tail swished violently, but before it could wrap around the bright ghost, the golden needle in its hand had already fallen, making a "whooshing" sound.

  "Ah!" Qiong Qi let out a loud roar, as the two of them were very close, still engaging in close combat. Ming Gui's ears were filled with his powerful roar, which echoed with a "buzzing" sound, causing him to shake his head involuntarily.

  The golden needle was directly inserted into the Chengshan acupoint on Qiu Qi's small leg, and because it was inserted very deeply, a wave of pain came rushing in. Although it was just a small golden needle with no presence, the acupoint chosen by Ming Gui was very painful. In ancient times, people were tortured by pressing the Chengshan acupoint, let alone being pierced by a needle.

  Ming Gui's claws sank very deep, Qiong Qi couldn't help but feel pain, his hind legs suddenly cramped up, and all the strength in his body was immediately drained away. He went limp on the ground, staring with a pair of eyes, baring his tiger teeth, the tail that had been swishing around suddenly softened, just like floating dust, soft white fur swept across Ming Gui's neck, directly pulling him down.

  Kyūki's lower body was trembling, but his upper body didn't seem to be restricted. He looked like he wanted to counterattack and suddenly swung his arm. Kyūki's physique was very lithe and about the same height as Meiko. He wasn't wearing any clothes, and the muscles in his upper arms were slightly bulging. His ancient bronze-colored skin made his muscles look smooth, and it also gave off a bewitching aura.

  Ming Gui reacted swiftly, dodging to the side while stretching out his hand, grasping and twisting the fist that Qiong Qi swung at him.

  "Ah!"

  Qiong Qi let out a loud cry, and Ming Gui quickly pricked him with golden needles on his arm and neck. Qiong Qi immediately lost his voice, went limp, and fell to the ground, his forehead covered in sweat.

  Ming Gui finally stood up from the ground and went to find the switch on the wall. Sure enough, there was a flat switch, Ming Gui stretched out his hand and pressed it, the switch made a "click" sound, and those yellow bears that were still attacking people immediately returned to the display cabinet as if they had received an order, then the display cabinet slowly closed.

  Everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, Wen Baiyu wiped the sweat from his brow, and the crowded path to the grave suddenly became spacious, it couldn't be any better.

  Qiong Qi has been subdued, lying on the ground, constantly convulsing. His pet Xiao Bai is thrown to one side, in a similar predicament, but unlike Qiong Qi, Xiao Bai is not convulsing, only lying on the ground drooling. As for why Xiao Bai keeps drooling, Ming Gui's explanation is that he is not very familiar with snake acupuncture points...

  The crowd walked away, and Jiǔ Mìng suddenly exclaimed, "Haha, what did you guys do to him? Why is he like this?"

  As soon as he said that, everyone lowered their heads to look at the strange poor thing on the ground. The tomb passage was very dark, and earlier when they were fighting with Huang Xiong, everyone's flashlights had all fallen to the ground. Some of them were broken and couldn't be used, while others had been smashed to pieces.

  Wen Baiyu picked up the flashlight that had rolled out and shone it on Qiong Qi's body...

  Only to see Qiong Qi lying on the ground, his four limbs paralyzed and soft, the place where he was pierced by the golden needle kept twitching, especially the Chengshan acupoint, it's estimated that the pain was not ordinary. Qiong Qi's small leg kept trembling, his ancient bronze-colored skin was covered with sweat, and his hedgehog-like hair was even flattened due to the sweat, making him look unexpectedly soft and smooth. His sharp eagle eyes were wide open, and there seemed to be some tears in them, it's unknown whether it was because Ming Gui found an acupoint that hurt too much. His nostrils slightly trembled, "huffing" and panting, his mouth, which resembled an eagle's beak, was half-open, and his lips were also trembling slightly.

  And between those two slender and agile long legs, that crucial position actually...

  It's hard...

  Everyone took a look and immediately looked away, but Mo Yi was curious and stole two glances at his master, then looked at the acupoints that his master had pressed, thinking that he must have used some profound and mysterious technique.

  Little Candle Dragon used his wings to cover Egg/Egg's eyes, and Egg/Egg said very cleverly: "Don't look... needle eye!"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Xiao Chui Long then gave Egg/Egg a rare smile, gently pinched Egg/Egg's little face and said: "Really clever."

  The egg was immediately delighted and put its own face against Xiao Chonglong's hand, rubbing back and forth.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the egg-like face of Wan Jie Jing Hou, which was similar to that of a small angel, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand, wanting to pinch his cheek like Xiao Zhu Long did.

  But before he could even stretch out his hand, Wan Xi Jing Hou had already grabbed his wrist and said: "What are you doing?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "I also want to pinch a face like that."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou: "......"

  Wen Baiyu looked at the egg, almost identical to Wan Jingshou's face, but more delicate and lovely. Perhaps due to her young age, she had round and plump cheeks, big eyes with long eyelashes that could knock people out with just one flick, a small pink mouth like jelly, a tiny nose that was neither too big nor too small, making you want to take a bite, the texture must be milky sweet, or perhaps silky smooth?

  Wen Baiyu said with emotion: "I've always wanted to see our egg wear a skirt."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly blinked and said: "Why?"

  Wen Baiyu sighed and said: "I always feel that such a face is wasted if it doesn't wear a skirt."

  Wan Kuang's eyelid twitched again, and he was finally speechless.

  Ming Gui looked at the poor Qi on the ground, and for a rare moment, he revealed an unusual expression. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his face, which normally had no expression, now seemed to have a different look. Tears and smiles were always superfluous on his face, but this furrowed brow made Ming Gui's entire person seem different. Perhaps it was because of his focus that his whole face no longer looked like a dead man's face.

  Ming Gui crouched down to look at the acupuncture points he had just done, because Gu Qi was closer and couldn't speak, he could only glare at him with his eyes, baring his tiger teeth.

  The ghost said with a puzzled expression: "I don't remember which acupoint I pressed that got you excited."

  Ming Gui spoke very directly, and everyone who heard it almost burst out laughing. Qiong Qi couldn't move at all, he could only stare with wide eyes.

  Qiong Qi's tail drooped and lay on his body, covering the golden needles on his legs. Ming Gui reached out and grasped Qiong Qi's tail, placing it to one side. As a result, Qiong Qi's tail rapidly trembled in his hand for an instant. Qiong Qi's nose emitted a loud, husky breathing sound, "Hoo-hoo-hoo". In just that moment, Qiong Qi became even more excited in that place.

  The ghostly figure's outstretched hand tugged at his tail again, which was very long with soft white fur that looked quite thick, but it was actually just fluffed up, and in reality, it was no thicker than a cat's tail. It was hard to imagine that such a tail could have so much strength.

  He gave a sharp tug on the Qiuji's tail, and the Qiuji's breathing grew louder, as if it was getting more and more excited. Its ancient bronze-colored skin broke out in sweat, glistening with a layer of moisture, its chest rising and falling rapidly.

  Qiong Qi's face turned slightly red as he stared fixedly at Ming Gui, his expression as if he wanted to flay him alive.

  Wen Baiyu coughed and was about to tell Ming Gui to stop "researching", but Wan Qi Jinghou interrupted him, suddenly pointing at the position between Qiong Qi's shoulder and chest, saying: "Wait a minute, this is a green floral pattern."

  Everyone immediately looked over, and saw that Qiu Qi's body really had green flower patterns. This pattern was all too familiar to everyone. Xie Yan subconsciously took a glance at Xie Lin, it was the poison of the Thorny Bamboo.

  Xie Lin's body and Wen Baiyu's body both have this poisonous thorn, the difference is that Xie Lin's poisonous thorn has been there for a long time and the poisoning is very deep. The poison in Wen Baiyu's body was self-controlled and did not spread further.

  And on Qī Jī's body, green flower patterns appeared, the patterns gradually emerged from his ancient bronze skin, not dim, but very bright, hidden under the sweat, with his chest constantly heaving.

  Egg/Egg struggled to get out of Xiao Zhi Long's arms and pounced on Wen Bai Yu, who immediately felt delighted. Egg/Egg seemed closest to Xiao Zhi Long and wouldn't actively seek out Wen Bai Yu for a hug. After Wen Bai Yu wrapped his arms around the little angel Egg/Egg, Egg/Egg immediately said: "Daddy... daddy... can't look! Needle eye!"

  Said while still very straightforwardly pointing at his own eyes, and then said: "Brother... brother said..."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhu Long beckoned with his hand, and Dan/Dan let out a series of "ah"s as he slipped out of Wen Bai Yu's arms and ran over, his little boots making "da-da-da" sounds as he moved with great enthusiasm. He pounced on Xiao Zhu Long, but due to his small stature, could only hug his leg, then jumped up and down, shouting in a childish voice: "Ge-ge hold! Ge-ge hold!"

  Wen Baiyu quickly found a blanket and covered Qiuji's lower body, otherwise it wouldn't be good for him to be gawked at by so many people.

  Wen Baiyu said to Ming Gui: "Remove the needle from his neck, we want to ask him some questions."

  Ming Gui pulled out the golden needle with a swift motion, and Qiong Qi let out a loud "Ah!" that was still full of energy, causing everyone's ears to ring. Wen Baiyu couldn't help but rub his ears.

  "You dare to touch my tail! Let me go or I'll bite you to death! Don't you know that a tiger's tail can't be touched?!"

  The bright ghost looked down at Qi Gu with a calm tone and said, "You are not a tiger."

  The poor guy immediately retorted loudly: "I'm more ferocious than a tiger, so you can't touch my tail! Let me go quickly, I'll bite you to death!"

  Wen Baiyu listened to them quarreling and got a headache, saying: "We have a few questions to ask you, after asking, maybe we will let you go."

  Qiong Qi glared with his eyes and said: "What's called no guarantee!"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said in a gentle tone: "That means if you don't answer, they definitely won't let you go."

  Qiong Qi: "......"

  Qiu Qi's ears drooped down at once and stuck to his sweaty hair, seemingly a bit disheartened.

  Nine lives lay in Donghai's arms, and then flipped over, hugging Donghai's neck, whispering: "How do I feel that the master is getting more and more black-hearted, must have been spoiled by the tyrant...... And that thing is really a fierce beast, it's simply a shame to the fierce beast world."

  Wen Baiyu was still smiling and said: "The first question, you haven't answered us yet, why do you want to scheme against us."

  The poor devil glared at them and said: "Foolish mortals, I've already told you just now, because you are bad people."

  Wen Baiyu stroked his chin and said, "So, you're the fierce beast guarding this tomb?"

  Qiong Qi nodded.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Those people before, did you cheat them into coming and then scare them to death?"

  Qiong Qi let out a grunt, seemingly in agreement, and said: "They're also a bunch of bad people, wanting to sneak into the tomb to steal things."

  "We didn't come here to steal things."

  The poor devil didn't believe him, saying: "Foolish mortal, do you think I'm a grass-eater? I'm such a clever beast, I can see at a glance that you're all bad people."

  Wen Baiyu had a bit of a headache, the fierce beasts he encountered seemed to be abnormal, such as the dragon Wǔ Xiāo who was obsessed with flowers, and the Hun Dun who loved to eat snacks. The most normal one was probably Luo Qi Feng, because he didn't even know he was a demon.

  Now I see a strange creature, it's actually a ferocious beast with a brain that can't think crookedly and is missing a few screws...

  Wen Baiyu said: "I need to correct you, we are not foolish mortals."

  Qiong Qi let out another "hmmph" and said: "You still want to deceive me? Let me tell you, I'm the most intelligent one among all the ferocious beasts..."

  The smartest...

  Before he could finish, Wen Baiyu suddenly raised his index finger and a huge flame burst out from the tip of his finger with a "whooshing" sound. The golden flame was enormous and shot straight up into the sky, almost burning off Gu Qi's hair and ears. The massive flame reached all the way to the top of the tomb before slowly disappearing.

  "Ugh——" he grunted, looking like his mouth was very hard to open, and said: "That's also foolish...... not a mortal!"

  "Hahaha!"

  Jiu Ming burst out laughing, rubbing his belly as he said: "Hahaha my mom, I'm dying from laughter, no way, how can Qiu Qi be so stupid..."

  Jiǔ Mìng laughed and was still rolling around in Dōnghǎi's arms, the cat ears twitching back and forth, the eight half-cat tails also laughing and shaking like convulsions, constantly slapping against Dōnghǎi's body.

  Donghai had both hands wrapped around him, unable to free up a hand to grab his tail. The nine-lived tail kept sweeping wildly about. Just when Donghai couldn't take it anymore, the Nine-Lived suddenly stopped laughing and clutched at his belly, saying: "Why do I feel like my stomach hurts?"

  The nine lives of this speech scared everyone into a cold sweat. Now that Nine Lives is pregnant, don't laugh it off.

  Donghai was so anxious that he started sweating just by listening, and immediately put down the nine lives, letting him lean against the tomb path, and even spread a blanket on the ground, fearing it was too cold.

  After a while, Jiǔ Mìng said carelessly: "It doesn't hurt now, maybe it was just laughing earlier."

  Donghai let out a sigh of relief and said, "From now on, no more strenuous exercise is allowed."

  Jiǔ Mìng was just about to retort when Dōnghǎi added, "And no loud laughter either."

  Nine Lives: "......"

  Everyone waited until the ninth life was over, and only then did they turn back to look at Qiong Qi. A strange phenomenon appeared: the green flower patterns on Qiong Qi's body had actually disappeared.

  Wen Baiyu exclaimed, "Huh? What's going on here?"

  Ming Gui took a closer look at Qiong Qi's chest, and Qiong Qi's face turned red again. With the golden needle still stuck in his body, he couldn't move, so he could only glare at Ming Gui with his eyes.

  The ghost stretched out his hand and touched the poor man's chest with the back of his hand, and the poor man suddenly let out a "hmm" sound, his whole body trembling.

  Ming Gui remained calm, his expression unchanging, and said, "The body temperature has dropped. Is it related to the body temperature?"

  Perhaps the pain of the golden needle has become accustomed to his body, and he is no longer so twitchy, so his body temperature has come down, and the sweat on his body has slowly fallen.

  Wen Baiyu said: "You've been poisoned."

  He said, lifting his sleeve, revealing a green pattern on it that wouldn't disappear with changes in body temperature.

  Qiong Qi's face suddenly darkened as he stared at the green floral pattern, his temper flaring up in an instant. The needle on his body moved abruptly, causing Wen Baiyu to jump in fright. Wan Kuang Jing Hou immediately reached out to stop Wen Baiyu from retreating.

  Qiong Qi struggled to get up fiercely, but Ming Gui reached out and patted him on the shoulder. A golden needle was inserted, and Qiong Qi immediately went limp like a deflated balloon, collapsing to the ground instantly.

  Due to the intense struggle just now, the quilt on his body actually fell off, and Qiu Qi's critical position was exposed again, and he became even more excited than before.

  Ming Gui's face changed suddenly, and he said: "So you're excited about pain?"

  Jiǔ Mìng was drinking water, "Pū——" a sound, almost choked himself to death, wanting to laugh, but not daring to laugh loudly, had to cover his mouth and secretly laugh, his tail shaking back and forth, while Dōnghǎi looked at him with a helpless expression.

  "Ugh!" Qiong Qi exclaimed. "Who knows what you've done, you dead face! I...I feel so strange all over now!"

  Qiong Qi's body temperature rose again due to excitement, and the green patterns quickly reappeared, almost covering his entire body, getting brighter and brighter. When Qiong Qi's breathing stabilized, those patterns slowly receded again.

  It's indeed related to changes in body temperature.

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Why are you so furious whenever this poison is mentioned?"

  The strange gaze was very sharp, but there was no answer, just a shake of the head, and then he didn't speak again.

  Wen Baiyu felt even stranger, and didn't know why Qiong Qi had decided to stop speaking.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Since you say that the beast guarding the tomb, was this tomb ever robbed several thousand years ago? What did people from the Western Queen Mother's country come here for?"

  His eyes gleamed with an even more sinister light, and at this moment he looked like a fierce beast. "Of course they came to steal things," he said, "and they're a bunch of bad people, too..."

  He said up to here, suddenly shut his mouth and didn't say another word, turning a deaf ear to them.

  "What's stolen? A handful of dirt?"

  Qiong Qi suddenly laughed and said, "That's right, there is indeed a treasure in this tomb, but that kind of treasure isn't something ordinary people can take away. You'd better not waste your energy. I see you haven't turned rotten yet, as long as you don't take anything from the tomb, I can let you off!"

  Wen Bai's eyelid twitched, and he looked up and down at the poor Qi lying on the ground, as well as his own "mouthful" Xiao Bai. They were indeed very intimidating in appearance, but at this moment they looked like fish on a chopping board, and yet they still wanted to spare themselves!

  Ming Gui suddenly crouched down, looking at Qiong Qi eye to eye, startling him and causing his face to turn red. The hair on his ears stood up as he bared his tiger teeth and said: "What's going on! I'm telling you, I'm the one who's scared!"

  Ming Gui said: "We are not bad people, and we won't steal anything, so you can rest assured. I also want to know one thing, the people from the Western Queen Mother's country came to the tomb after they died, originally wanted to take away the Xirang, but they didn't have the conditions to take away the Xirang, so they thought of another way. They didn't steal anything from the tomb, but instead put something in the tomb and installed many protective mechanisms. Is that thing a golden coffin?

  When Ming Gui spoke, his voice was very soft and had a slightly low magnetic tone. His flat face suddenly showed a hint of change, a change that was hard to put into words, but it somehow drew people in, making them involuntarily attracted to his voice and expression.

  The strange expression suddenly became wooden and then nodded, saying: "Yes."

  Everyone was shocked, the golden coffin, wasn't that the Zhuan Coffin? The people of the Western Queen's country had gone to such great lengths, and yet they were adding a coffin to someone else's tomb. This was indeed a good method, as this tomb had suitable soil for the Golden Cicada and rich yin energy. Compared to building such a massive tomb, the underwater factory wasn't worth mentioning.

  He stood calmly on the side, staring at Ming Gui's face, and suddenly became a little flustered. Mo Yi pulled him back and covered his eyes, saying: "Wake up, don't stare at my master uncle, this is a profound psychological connection, equivalent to hypnosis."

  An Ran immediately came back to her senses, still feeling a bit dizzy in her head. Xie Yan also snapped out of it, quickly regaining his composure. It turned out to be a hypnotic suggestion, no wonder he felt a bit dizzy earlier.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is the golden coffin material inside?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "It turns out that Xi Ze is absolutely a burial object of the main tomb, and Jin Chan's coffin material will also be placed in the main tomb."

  Jiuming said: "This is great, let's hurry up and go, maybe we can make it out for lunch tomorrow at noon!"

  Ming Gui saw that Qiong Qi was old and honest, so he snapped his fingers. Qiong Qi was taken aback, as if he had just woken up from a dream. However, his memory did not disappear, and he suddenly remembered the words Ming Gui had deceived him with earlier.

  The poor devil gnashed his teeth and said to the bright ghost: "You take out the needle for me, I'll bite you to death! I will definitely bite you to satisfaction!"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Covering her face with her sleeve, she thought to herself: "Am I too impure? Why does listening to such strange words make me blush?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou reached out and wrapped his hand around Wen Bai Yu's waist, whispering in his ear with a soft chuckle: "Sounds like this biting method isn't bad either?"

  Wen Baiyu's face suddenly turned bright red, she glared at Wan Jingshou, stretched out her hand to rub her ears hard, her ears were red from top to bottom, and there was a tingling sensation, Wan Jingshou was simply too despicable!

  However, to his surprise, Ming Gui really pulled out all the golden needles from his body. When he was pulling out the needles, Qiong Qi was shouting loudly again, with a full and sonorous voice, and his shouts echoed throughout the graveyard.

  Ming Gui pulled out the needle, covered him with a quilt and said: "In about fifteen minutes, the numbness in your body will be gone. With your physique, you'll probably be able to walk in ten minutes."

  He said, and then pulled out the needles on the giant python beside him. Xiaobai finally stopped drooling, but like Qiongqi, he couldn't move immediately.

  Ming Gui beckoned to everyone and said, "Let's go."

  Qiong Qi was still unable to move, his eyes wide open as he watched them head into the tomb. "Where are you going?!" he shouted. "You're not even taking anything! If you leave now, I'll let you off easy. I'm serious, hey! I'm not joking, don't go any further! There are those bad people's traps up ahead!"

  Jiǔ Mìng xiào xī xī de bèi Dōng Hǎi bào zhe jìxù wǎng lǐ zǒu, shuō: "Qióng Qí shuō yào fàng guò wǒmen ne."

  English Translation:

  Jiuming smiled and was hugged by Donghai as they continued walking in, saying: "Qiongqi said he would let us go."

  The ghost face had no expression, saying: "He is reminding us that there are machines related to this, and judging from the scale of the underwater factory, the people of Xiwangmu have added a lot of machines here."

  "Moyi said: 'Master Uncle, can you see which specific mechanisms are involved?'"

  Ming Gui said: "I can see part of it, some of the parts are quite typical, but there are also some that I couldn't make out, so let's all be careful."

  Ming Gui said, just about to move forward, when Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly said: "Wait."

  As soon as he finished speaking, An Ran said: "There's a sound!"

  Suddenly, a bronze partition descended from the sky in front of the tomb path, like a wall, cutting off the front tomb path into two halves, and one tomb path became two.

  Jiuming's eyes widened and he said: "What's going on? None of us moved, so how did one path turn into two?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took out a fluorescent stick from his backpack, lit it up and gently rolled it forward. The light of the fluorescent stick rolled into the transparent tomb passage on the left.

  The glow stick made a "rumbling" sound and quickly rolled in, gradually hiding into the dark tomb passage.

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief as nothing happened. The glow stick rolled away and the tomb passage gradually darkened.

  Just as everyone was relieved, the glow stick somehow touched something and made a "stick" sound, very small and light, but immediately followed by a "rustling" sound, it's hard to say what it was.

  Because the sound was very small, everyone didn't take it seriously and continued to look at the dark tomb passage.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou raised his head and looked at the top of the tomb, which was milky white in color, not transparent. This was different from other sections of the tomb passage.

  Wan Kuang's expression changed, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, grabbed Wen Baiyu's hand and said: "It's not good, let's go quickly!"

  Everyone was startled by Wan Qi Jing Hou, but Wan Qi Jing Hou was obviously the leader of the group. As soon as he spoke, everyone naturally believed him and quickly retreated backwards.

  "What's wrong?" Wen Baiyu shouted loudly.

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "This tomb passage has a sandwich layer, and the top is a flowing sand layer."

  As he spoke, the crowd heard a "shhh" sound, which started small but gradually grew louder and louder, already starting to deafen their ears, accompanied by the trembling of the tomb passage.

  Ming Gui suddenly realized something and said while running: "There is a quicksand layer in the tomb passage, that bronze plate was just used to destroy the balance of the tomb passage, so walking on the left or right side doesn't make a difference. After the bronze plate appeared, it has already broken through the middle layer of the tomb roof, if there's any more vibration, the quicksand layer will immediately collapse."

  Everyone rushed back desperately, with a very thick layer of quicksand behind them, and inside were sharp stone chips. If buried, it would be difficult to struggle out.

  After running for a while, everyone saw Qiong Qi lying on the ground. He seemed to be able to move already. Wen Baiyu subconsciously glanced at his watch and found that only eight minutes had passed. It seemed that Qiong Qi's physique was really very good.

  That giant python called Xiao Bai can move now, after hearing the noise, it turned its head in surprise, a snake face actually showed a frightened expression, then "whoosh" hid behind Qiong Qi, as if afraid that Ming Gui would use golden needles to pierce it again.

  The giant python hid behind Qiu Qi and even nudged him with its head.

  Qiong Qi raised his eyes and took a look, and those people actually came back. He immediately put on a triumphant smile and said: "You've finally found your way back, I'm a very broad-minded fierce beast, I can..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Ming Gui ran towards him, stretched out his hand and pulled Ku Qi up, saying: "No more nonsense, let's run."

  His strange words were interrupted by him, very unpleasant, and although he could move now, his body was particularly sore/soft, walking was staggering, let alone running.

  Qiong Qi ran two steps, "Bang" fell to the ground, his tall body fell on top, just like a tree falling down, the tomb passage was shaken several times. Ming Gui's expression finally changed, looking at him with a silly/white-eyed gaze, saying: "The sand layer collapsed, aren't you satisfied with the speed of the sand leakage?"

  Qiong Qi immediately retorted, "It's not like I wanted to fall down, and it's not like you're a dead man!"

  Listening to the sound of being buried behind her, Wen Baiyu couldn't help but shout at them, "Stop talking nonsense and run quickly."

  Qiong Qi couldn't get up, Xiao Bai used his head to butt him. If it were an ordinary person, with a stature like Wen Baiyu or An Ran Xieyan, even Xie Linxiao would be barely enough, but Xiao Bai directly rolled up the person and ran away. However, Qiong Qi's stature was too tall, and Xiao Bai seemed unable to roll him over.

  Behind him was the sound of quicksand collapsing, a sound that was particularly terrifying to Tufu, after all, it was a sound of mutual destruction.

  Ming Gui didn't say anything else, and Mo Yi anxiously shouted: "Shifu!"

  Ming Gui suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up Qiong Qi from the ground. Qiong Qi let out a loud "ah" as he was lifted, not expecting Ming Gui's arm strength to be so great. He was carried off in the same way as Xiao Bai, with Ming Gui immediately running forward.

  Qiu Qi's height was unexpected, and he didn't think anyone could carry him, yet they were running so fast. Qiu Qi struggled and shouted: "What are you doing?!"

  The ghost said succinctly: "Save your life."

  Poor guy or very proud, I guess he thought himself a very clever beast, being carried by people is not good-looking, damaging his dignity, so he was very uncooperative.

  Ming Gui said: "You should lose weight, I can't hold on if you hit me again."

  Qiu Qi's face suddenly turned red, and he protested: "What are you talking about? This is muscle!"

  He indeed had muscles on his body, and they were very smooth, with not a single ounce of excess fat. Coupled with his dark bronze skin, he looked robust and handsome, that is, when he didn't open his mouth to speak.

  Poor Qi thought, I don't know how many foxes on the island are fighting to mate with me, and this dead face actually said that I should lose weight, it's absolutely slanderous and insulting!

  Xiao Bai followed the rapid movement in front of him, and the quicksand behind him collapsed faster and faster. They could hear the sound of "crack crack crack..." which was the sound of the tomb top collapsing.

  Fortunately, just now was only with fluorescent stick to probe, and Wan Xi Jing Hou did not use force, otherwise the collapse of quicksand layer is only an instant thing, then there is no rescue.

  The bright ghost was obviously annoyed by Gu Qi's endless chatter and said, "If you speak again, I'll use a needle to pierce you."

  Qiong Qi was taken aback for a moment, and didn't know why, but his face immediately turned red, all the way to the roots of his erect ears, and he gritted his teeth, saying: "Do you believe I'll let Xiao Bai bite you?"

  He said, turning his head to the giant python: "Xiao Bai, bite him!"

  The giant python chased them, immediately shaking its head like a rattle drum, seemingly a little afraid of the bright light, so it didn't dare to bite.

  The poor guy's going to die, his chest keeps heaving up and down, suddenly he grabs Ming Gui's neck and "ahh" really bites down, Ming Gui immediately lets out a faint "...ehhh", although the voice is very soft, but Qiong Qi's ears are sharp, hears it clearly, can't help but smile proudly, even licks his own tiger teeth.

  There was an obvious red tooth mark on Minggui's neck, and although the bite wasn't light, there was no blood, just a mark.

  Ming Gui gave Qiong Qi a chilly glance, and Qiong Qi's ears twitched as if intimidated by Ming Gui's gaze. He thought to himself, "I just took a small bite, didn't even draw blood, why are you being so petty?"

  Everyone rushed forward together and soon arrived at the tomb chamber they had encountered before. As soon as Qi saw it, he shouted loudly: "Run in! The mechanism is on the wall, knock three times!"

  Everyone opened the machine and ran into the tomb chamber, only to find that not only one grave passage's quicksand layer collapsed, but also other quicksand layers cracked due to the vibration, and the sand inside leaked out.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou walked to the edge of the tomb, kicked the door with a loud "bang", and one of the doors closed with a "bang". Xiao Chui Long also swung its tail, and the other door also made a "bang" sound. Both doors were fully closed, and the sounds of "shasha" and "dangdang" could still be heard from outside. The tomb's mechanism and doors were all closed, turning the tomb into a sealed space.

  The sound of the collapse lasted for a long time, and the tomb chamber they were in was very empty. Except for the coffin that had just risen from the dead, there was nothing else. Perhaps there were things before, but they were all taken away by those dead grave robbers.

  But this tomb is fully transparent, and there is no quicksand layer on top, it should be relatively safe.

  Everyone ran until they were exhausted, especially Xie Linxiao, who was extremely weak physically. His face was covered in cold sweat. Xie Yan supported him and found a place for him to sit down and rest, taking out water from his backpack for Xie Linxiao to drink.

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Jiǔ Mìng said, "Is this tomb really going to be destroyed like this? It's also too pitiful, setting up so many layers of quicksand."

  Wen Baiyu said, "It's impossible. The people of the Western Queen Mother's country went to such great lengths to put the golden coffin in here, it's absolutely impossible that they would let it be buried at sea. This also doesn't conform to the rules of the Golden Cicada entering the earth. Perhaps the tomb passage just collapsed partially, which is unimportant, but it has blocked our path."

  "What about the rest of the way?" An Ran asked.

  Mo Yi smiled and said: "Don't forget we have someone here who knows the inside story."

  He said, looking at Gu Qi.

  Qiong Qi stared with his eyes wide open and said: "What are you looking at me for? I won't say anything."

  Wen Baiyu curiously said: "You are a tomb guardian, why don't you say anything? The ones who put the golden coffin in this mausoleum are from the Western Queen Mother's country. By rights, they should also be considered as inverted Dou. Tell us, we only want the things inside the golden coffin, and you have also been poisoned by the Thorny Bamboo Poison. If we can get the things inside the golden coffin, it will also be beneficial to you."

  Qiong Qi's expression changed slightly, he sat on the ground, crossed his arms, and remained silent for a while.

  Everyone stared at him, Qiu Qi's face changed several times, still not speaking. At this time, the little white beside him nodded slightly, as if indicating that everyone should look at him. Then, the huge snake body began to stretch on the ground, constantly twisting and deforming, and amazingly formed into words.

  He felt lost

  After the python spat out these words, Qiong Qi suddenly jumped up, grabbed the python and shook it, saying: "You little white-eyed snake, I should make you into a snake soup right now."

  At this time, Egg/Egg saw the giant python writing with "one stroke", and suddenly burst out laughing, seemingly finding it very interesting. In a moment of inattention, Egg/Egg slipped out of Xiaolong's arms and ran over, grabbing the giant python's tail with one hand. The giant python was still being swung back and forth by Qiongqi, its tail dangling on the ground, when Egg/Egg pinched it, causing it to twitch suddenly.

  The egg pinched the giant python's tail, and for some reason, it felt familiar when it saw the tail. The tail looked similar to that of a small dragon, but there was no hook-like thing on the tail. It stretched out its hand and pulled hard, as if trying to pull out the hook, then opened its mouth, about to stuff it in.

  The little dragon moved very quickly, flapping its wings and stirring up a gust of wind. In an instant, it flew to the egg's side, picked it up in one swift motion, and said, "Don't bite, not clean."

  The egg was crushed and its mouth was twisted, but it still threw Xiao Bai's tail down. Xiao Bai inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

  DanDan pointed to Xiaochilong's leg, indicating that he wanted a tail. Xiaochilong had no choice but to transform his own leg into a tail and hand it over to DanDan, who looked pitiful.

  Egg/Egg burst out laughing, pulling the hook on Xiaochi Long's tail back and forth. Xiaochi Long was tense all over, almost to the point of cramping up, fearing that the hook on his tail was too sharp and would scratch Egg/Egg.

  "What's embarrassing? You say it out loud and we won't laugh."

  Ming Gui nodded and said faintly, "Anyway, it's not your first time losing face."

  What Minggui said sounded like a joke, but he himself didn't smile at all. Because everyone was waiting for him to talk about the Queen Mother of the West, they were all holding back their laughter.

  The poor guy's face turned red and his neck thickened. He jumped up and said, "What do you mean! Believe it or not, I'll bite you again! Bite your neck off!"

  As soon as he said that, Ming Gui's face suddenly turned cold, and then he touched his own neck, where there was still a tooth mark. It's estimated that this thing is like a hickey, it won't go away for several days.

  Ming Gui's face looked very unpleasant, and he said coldly: "I don't like others touching my neck."

  Qiu Qi was stared at by him and subconsciously shrunk his neck, but still stubbornly said: "Why?"

  Mo immediately thought of the reason why the sect leader didn't like others touching his neck, because the neck is a vulnerable part of the human body. I guess no one likes their neck being touched, as it represents danger or something else profound and mysterious.

  The result was that Ming heard a ghostly voice that was still very cold and only said one word: "Itchy."

  Wen Baiyu immediately rubbed his temples and changed the subject, saying: "So you start talking, you don't want to stay here with us forever either?"

  Qiong Qi said: "I don't want to see dead people's faces for another minute."

  Qiong Qi said, still cooperating, "I am the ferocious beast guarding the tomb here."

  He added, "Extremely intelligent ferocious beast."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Qiong Qi continued to say that he himself was guarding the tomb, to be honest, it was actually a kind of burial. Later, a group of people came, but Qiong Qi didn't know who they were, and it just so happened that they were the people known as the Queen Mother of the West.

  The burial is particular about Feng Shui. After this group of people opened the tomb, the Feng Shui changed and Gu Qi woke up.

  It's just as everyone thought, these people were after the miraculous soil that can nurture life, which has become a burial object for Yu and is stored in his coffin.

  However, this treasure is not something that ordinary people can pick up. Even if the Queen of the Western Kingdom was made into a golden cicada with earth as her faith, she still couldn't pick up this divine earth.

  Wen Baiyu was very curious, "Can't pick it up" what does it mean?

  "Can you pick it up?" Ming Gui suddenly asked.

  Qiu Qi's face turned red, and he immediately coughed, saying: "Cough, don't interrupt me, I'm going to continue speaking."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said faintly: "It's definitely impossible to pick it up."

  Ming Gui then turned his head and asked Wan Qi Jing Hou, "Why?"

  He said calmly, "Because he is a burial object, if the burial objects can be taken away, then there should not be any burial."

  Ming Gui nodded, seemingly understanding.

  Qiu Qi's face turned bright red as he said, "Hey! Do you two think I'm dead or something?!"

  Ming Gui said: "Strictly speaking, you are dead, only a ferocious beast that has risen from the dead."

  Qiong Qi: "......"

  Wen Baiyu was afraid of being possessed by a strange ghost and said hastily: "Then what?"

  The poor guy no longer argued with Minggui, and very reluctantly turned his head to Wen Baiyu and said: "Then they caught me, I don't know what they tattooed on my body, it was very painful at first, but later it healed and disappeared."

  "Are those green floral patterns?"

  Qiong Qi nodded, seemingly embarrassed to be caught, and continued: "They placed a golden coffin in the main tomb chamber, then left. Before they departed, they told me some things that I initially didn't believe, but later came to believe."

  "What's wrong?"

  He felt that his stomach was hung upside down, but Qiong Qi spoke hesitantly because he thought it was embarrassing.

  Gu Qi said: "The first thing is that there are many mechanisms/traps in the tomb passage, they also asked me to continue guarding the tomb and not to wander around, you have already experienced this."

  He said, comparing it to the second one, and then said: "The second is the green pattern on my body. I don't know what it's called specifically, but they say that since I have these green patterns on my body, I can't leave the golden coffin/material, otherwise, I will be in extreme pain. At first, I didn't believe it, and since the tomb was already open, to be honest, I was also buried with him, who would like to stay here? So I planned to go out. But later I understood that my activity range is very limited, at most only around the island, I can't leave this island, otherwise, there will be an inexplicable pain on my body, and I couldn't describe what it feels like."

  Wen Baiyu immediately understood that Qiong Qi had also been poisoned by the Gu worm, perhaps his Gu worm was still the most primitive kind and couldn't leave the golden coffin material too far away because there were Gu worm wooden plaques inside the golden coffin material. One Gu worm wooden plaque couldn't detoxify but could inhibit the toxin.

  When mentioning green floral patterns, the whole person became limp, ears drooping on his head, and the fox tail hung down, spread out on the ground.

  Just when I felt poor and sad, and also felt ashamed, and was about to get angry, I heard Xiaobai's excited "Squeak---" sound beside my ear, and almost choked to death when I turned around.

  Xiaobai excitedly opened his big snake mouth, shaking his big head, just like a big dog, sticking out his tongue at the eggs and small feathers.

  Little dragon is holding an egg, the egg is pinching a piece of bread, and is crumbling it into small pieces. As soon as he throws them up in the air, Xiao Bai will excitedly raise his snake head, open his big mouth, and swallow all the bread crumbs.

  Just like feeding ducks with breadcrumbs in a zoo...

  At first, only the egg/egg was playing like this, but Xiaobai looked too much like a big dog, sticking out his tongue/head, and had no aggression at all, just like his owner, who was also very playful. The little feathers couldn't help but join in on the fun either.

  At first, Xiaoxuehua was worried about safety and being threatened, but Xiaoyumao pinched some breadcrumbs and threw them a few times. The giant python, called Xiaobai, only knew to raise its head to chase the breadcrumbs thrown in the air, and didn't even try to snatch the breadcrumbs from the little ones' hands. It didn't have any wild beast feeling at all. Later, Xiaoxuehua also felt relieved, especially when Gou Tui pinched some breadcrumbs and put them in Xiaoyumao's hand, letting Xiaoyumao play very happily. Even throwing breadcrumbs became a fun activity for everyone to participate in.

  Xiao Chong Long was not afraid of Xiao Bai's attack at all. If that giant python dared to attack, before its tail had even transformed into legs, it could be swung over directly.

  The egg was very happy, looking at the giant snake head swaying back and forth. On the left, it ate a piece of bread crumbs thrown by the little feather, on the right, it ate another piece of bread crumbs thrown by the little dragon, and couldn't help but "hehe" laugh out loud. It even grabbed the little dragon's sleeve and laughed, saying: "Brother! Brother, throw!"

  Xiao Chong Long couldn't resist Egg/Egg's cuteness, he actually didn't want to play such a childish game, but Egg/Egg kept calling him "ge ge" in a soft and cute voice, Xiao Chong Long's face that had been cold for thousands of years almost melted, so he picked up a piece of bread and threw it over, playing together with Egg/Egg.

  The top of the poor Qi's head was about to smoke, the poor Qi was something that eats Gu, thinking back to those years in order to fill his own belly, and there were no Gu around, so the poor Qi had no choice but to refine Gu himself. Fortunately, there were many snakes and insects buried in the tomb, it took a long time to finally refine one, unexpectedly refined a mother Gu, however Xiao Bai was male...

  This big wasp mother, Qiong Qi felt that eating it would be a bit wasteful, so he waited until there was no food to eat it again, and as a result, he raised it all the time.

  It's actually hard to imagine what Wen Baiyu's brain structure is like, after all, a fierce beast that eats Gu, he himself raised a Gu Queen...

  Egg/Egg seems to especially like Xiao Bai. After finishing a whole loaf of bread, she pats Xiao Bai's head with her little meaty hand and says: "Cute... cute!"

  The python's body is very long, much thicker than an egg, and can swallow the whole egg with one mouthful without any effort. The snake skin is icy cold, with black flower spots on the white snake skin, and a pair of sharp black bean eyes, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with being cute...

  Wen Baiyu is now beginning to suspect Egg/Egg's level of appreciation!

  Xiao Chong Long saw Egg/Egg really liked Xiao Bai, so he was a bit unhappy and scowled. He pinched another bun but didn't crush it, and threw it over. Egg/Egg was still taking pictures of Xiao Bai when suddenly "thud!" a bun flew over and got stuck in Xiao Bai's big mouth, packaging paper and all. The impact was huge, and Xiao Bai was dazed for a moment. When he came to, his two black bean eyes lit up again, and with incredible agility, he wrapped himself around the bun, quickly tore off the packaging paper, squeezed out the bun inside, opened his big mouth to take a bite, and almost swallowed his own tail in the process.

  Egg/Egg saw Xiao Bai like this and laughed again, "Hehe" laugh, clapping hands said: "Cute!"

  Xiao Yan Long's face turned even darker, and he let out a dry cough. Dan Dan turned his head around, hugged Xiao Yan Long's neck, and secretly wiped the breadcrumbs from his hand onto Xiao Yan Long's collar. He then gave Xiao Yan Long a peck on the cheek and said, "Brother... you're the most adorable!"

  Xiao Chui Long heard the word "most" and directly ignored the cute part, couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, then shook off the bread crumbs on his collar.

  The egg was caught, and it immediately let out a "hee hee" laugh, and boldly rubbed itself against the small dragon's body.

  Wen Baiyu's temples jumped straight up, and he rubbed his face with his hand. He said to Qiong Qi: "We know the way to detoxify, if you help us find the golden coffin, you can also get out of here."

  Qiong Qi listened and could leave from here, his eyes widened instantly, saying: "Are you telling the truth?"

  Wen Baiyu looked at him disbelieving and said, "Of course it's true. The reason you can't get out is because there's nothing to restrain the toxins in your body. That thing is inside the golden coffin."

  Qiong Qi immediately felt a little excited, he hadn't left the tomb since waking up, at most walking around on the island, but there was no one there either, and if someone occasionally came, they were all people with ulterior motives.

  Actually, Qiong Qi reminded them not to go down when they were about to fall into the whirlpool, but at that time, everyone had already made up their minds and didn't hear Qiong Qi's voice. Qiong Qi also felt that these people weren't bad because Ming Gui left him a package of food supplies, enough for three days' worth, unlike last time when those scholars who went to sea didn't leave anything for him.

  Qin Qi was apparently moved by their words and said, "What you just said is right. Those people built the mechanism, it's impossible to let that golden coffin be buried in water, the quicksand layer is only in some unimportant places, I know there are other ways to go, and the main tomb chamber is not on this layer, but below."

  Everyone heard that Qiu Qi actually cooperated and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stopped the egg from throwing bread at the right time, if he threw bread again, their rations would have been fed to Xiaobai.

  Egg/Egg pouted, but didn't ask for bread again. He was being held by Xiao Huo Long and was playing with his own fingers. Wen Bai Yu found that sometimes Egg/Egg could be a bit sinister, while other times he was just a quiet little angel. He could play with his own chubby hands for half the day, and even just a few fingers could keep him entertained, who knows what game he was playing.

  Qiu Qi stood up and started searching on the ground for a mechanism, saying: "I saw them installing a mechanism here, but what kind of mechanism it is, I didn't see clearly. The main tomb chamber must be underground, now the tomb passage has collapsed, we need to go down from here."

  As soon as he spoke, everyone started searching for the mechanism on the ground. Ming Gui and Mo Yi were both from the Ink School, so they were very skilled at finding mechanisms. Wan Xie Jing Hou and Xie Lin Yun were also old-timers in the jianghu, so they naturally knew what to do. Everyone quickly got busy.

  Although the tomb was large, it was still limited in size. Everyone looked for a place to rest. Wen Baiyu saw that the little ones were a bit listless and must be hungry, so she prepared some food for them.

  Egg/Egg sat in the arms of a small dragon, holding a milk bottle and drinking milk. When his hand relaxed, the milk bottle rolled out from his arms, "pa" fell to the ground without breaking, and rolled forward along the tomb chamber. Wen Baiyu stretched out her hand to catch it, but saw that the milk bottle suddenly stopped for a moment and made a "click" sound.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet empty, thinking "not good", in an instant the floorboards opened with a loud crash, revealing two flaps that had flipped open downwards, and Wen Baiyu fell through from above.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou shouted "Bai Yu!"

  Wen Baiyu subconsciously flapped her wings open, but the next moment made a "bang bang" sound. Her wings were too big, and the space below was like a vertical tunnel. Wen Baiyu's wings immediately hit the four walls, rubbing against them, and she let out a pained "Ah——".

  At this moment, Xiao Xue's flower suddenly pounced forward, and the vine stretched out violently. A "swishing" sound was heard as the vine rapidly extended and bound Wen Baiyu's waist in an instant.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly stopped in mid-air, Xiao Xuemu Hua was pushed forward with a scoop, and the small feathers immediately stretched out to hug Xiao Xuemu Hua's waist, pulling him back. Xiao Xuemu Hua looked so beautiful that his nose was about to run.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou let out a sigh of relief, and took a peek, only to see that the tunnel wasn't transparent, it was obviously a later addition, a mechanical device, straight up and down, requiring tools to descend from here, Wen Bai Yu was suspended in mid-air.

  Under Wen Baiyu's feet was a pool of water. Just now, the milk bottle had "splashed" into the water with a loud noise.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou furrowed his brow, and suddenly his face changed, saying: "Quickly pull him up."

  They themselves are going down, Wen Baiyu is suspended in mid-air, and according to reason, they should also be let go, pulling up for a while will still go down.

  However, Wan Xi Jing Hou's face looked very unpleasant, and Xiao Xue Mu Hua immediately withdrew her own vines.

  At this moment, a "plop" sound came from the water pool, and the fallen milk bottle suddenly shot up like a rocket, and Wen Baiyu quickly shrank back. The milk bottle almost stuck to him as it flew upwards, and with a loud "bang", it exploded on top of the tomb.

  The egg was startled and cried "Woo woo", its forehead's fire spirit flashing, staring at the flip board as if something was about to come out from underneath.

  Right behind Wen Baiyu, a large number of "plop plop" sounds came from the water pool, and a giant monster with a cylindrical body, dark black with fluorescent blue, suddenly drilled out of the water pool.

  Wen Baiyu let out a loud "Hmph!" and it turned out to be a giant sea cucumber digging a hole. It was actually another mechanism, if someone unknowingly went down, they would definitely end up in the belly of the sea cucumber.

  The sea cucumber poked its head out, saw Wen Baiyu, and used its tentacles to wrap around Wen Baiyu. Wen Baiyu was quickly pulled upwards by the vines, while his palm opened wide and suddenly shot out a flame.

  The sea cucumber's tentacles caught fire immediately, and it let out a strange cry as it dove into the water. The black whirlpool quickly extinguished the flames, but in that brief moment, Wen Baiyu had already been pulled up.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly grabbed Wen Bai Yu's arm and pulled him up, at the same time, a huge sea cucumber emerged from the pool water again. Although the tunnel was limited in width, this sea cucumber was not as large as the ones outside, apparently it was not raised for digging holes, but rather as a mechanism, its body was relatively slender and long, just right to drill out of the tunnel at once.

  The disc-shaped tentacles suddenly landed on the edge of the flip board, and Wan Qi Jing Hou rushed over. The dragon scales flashed, and with a "swish" sound, one of the sea cucumber's tentacles was cut off in an instant.

  The huge sea cucumber hadn't even poked out yet, and suddenly a lot of black liquid sprayed out. "Hiss——" With a swift reaction, Wan Qi Jing Hou rolled on the ground and dodged to the side. Just then, Qiong Ji let out an "ah" and said: "What is this thing?!"

  Qiong Qi immediately wiped himself clean, and all the black liquid splattered onto his body. Plus, he wasn't wearing any clothes, so not a drop was wasted.

  Ming Gui was afraid that the thing was poisonous, so he immediately took out a disinfectant wipe and wiped the black liquid off his chest. Qiong Qi shuddered suddenly, his ears also shook, and the cool disinfectant wipe made his whole body break out in goosebumps.

  Qiong Qi's body was stark naked, and any slight change could be seen clearly. For some reason, Qiong Qi's lower part suddenly became excited again! And it got excited extremely quickly...

  The ghost was taken aback and said, "You're really hard to understand."

  Qiong Qi's face suddenly turned red, he was a bit puzzled about what Ming Gui said, but it was absolutely not something good, you could tell from the expression, although Ming Gui's expression didn't change at all.

  The huge sea cucumber was suddenly swept away by Wang Qi Jing Hou, and it fell rapidly downwards. A loud "splash" sound could be heard, as if it had fallen into the water again.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's face turned dark as he looked down for a few moments, but there was no movement in the water pool, and the color of the water was pitch black, nothing could be seen, however, the giant sea cucumber did not emerge again.

  Kurome rushed over and said, "Master, are you okay? I thought for sure that sticky sea monster was going to eat you! Although I do like seafood, something with tentacles bigger than me is absolutely not something I'd eat."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou walked over, Wen Bai Yu hadn't completely transformed into a swan just now, the clothes on his back were slightly torn, because his wings had been retracted, and there were bloodstains on his back, it looked like he had fallen down and rubbed against the tunnel, the tunnel's grinding was not good, and it had scraped off the skin on his back.

  The egg was crying "waaah", Wen Baiyu held the egg in her arms and comforted it, the egg lay in Wen Baiyu's arms, its small face looked particularly pitiful, its big eyes were red from crying, its eyelids were swollen like walnuts, its eyelashes were wet, and could hold back large tears. To be honest, when the egg cried, it made Wen Baiyu want to pinch its cheeks...

  The egg leaned its head against the warm white feathers, crying and sobbing, saying: "Daddy... Daddy... no... don't drink milk anymore, waaah..."

  Wen Baiyu didn't understand at first, but later realized that the egg thought it had done something wrong. Its milk bottle rolled over and opened the switch, causing Wen Baiyu to fall down.

  Wen Baiyu was so heartbroken by his crying that he coaxed the egg(s) with all his might.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou used Egg/Egg's tears to wipe the wound on Wen Bai Yu's back, it was just some abrasions and not serious. The healing effect of Egg/Egg's tears was so strong that it healed immediately and didn't even sting.

  The egg saw that Wen Baiyu's wound had healed, so she finally stopped her tears of grievance and ran back to Xiao Zhu Long's arms.

  Xiao Chong Long gently wiped away his tears, Dan/Dan cried so hard that his eyes hurt and hid, not letting him wipe them. Xiao Chong Long's face was a bit helpless, but he still kissed Dan/Dan on the forehead, and Dan/Dan suddenly burst out laughing, the fire spirit on his forehead twinkling brightly.

  Wen Baiyu changed his clothes while saying, "There's a giant sea cucumber below. How are we going to get down? We must go down from this place, right? What can we use to lure away that sea cucumber?"

  He was talking, when the giant python Xiao Bai suddenly swam over and nudged Ming Gui. Ming Gui was still studying the flip board and was wrapped around his arm by Xiao Bai and pulled inside, then nudged him to walk in.

  Just then, the poor Qi who always liked to talk and show off his intelligence suddenly didn't say a word for half a day. Instead, he crouched in the corner by the wall, curled up into a ball. Although he was quite tall and big, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't curl up into a ball. His ears drooped down to his head, and his tail stretched out from behind to wrap around his legs.

  Ming Gui also discovered the anomaly and said: "What's wrong with you? Was the liquid from just now poisonous?"

  He said, wanting to go over and take a look, but in an instant, the poor Qi who was squatting on the ground suddenly pounced up, with a fierce face, baring his tiger teeth, and eyes full of bloodshot, "Bang!" He knocked Minggui to the ground.

  Everyone's heart skipped a beat as Mo Yi had already taken out the golden needle and shouted: "Master Uncle!"

  Even Wan Jie Jing Hou and Wen Bai Yu took out their daggers, thinking that the black liquid must be poisonous, causing the poor beast to go wild?

  The result is indeed beastly/sexually wild...

  But it's another kind of beast/sex...

  Qiong Qi's face turned red, breathing heavily, wanting to eat like a human, key positions excited abnormally. It turns out that the sea cucumber itself is a highly nourishing thing, and the giant sea cucumber that has been around for thousands of years is even more nourishing. Qiong Qi, who was full of energy, had probably suffocated in the tomb for thousands of years...

  Qiong Qi suddenly knocked Ming Gui to the ground, pinning his arms with both hands. A long, fluffy fox tail wrapped around Ming Gui's waist. The two were roughly the same height, and Qiong Qi was naked, revealing his muscular physique and lithe figure. However, since Ming Gui had been carrying Qiong Qi as he ran forward earlier, it wasn't hard to tell that he actually had extraordinary physical abilities too.

  Kui Qi immediately descended upon him, his lips tightly sealed against Ming Gui's, but apparently had no idea how to kiss, and instead kept chattering his teeth against Ming Gui's lips, causing them to crack and bleed slightly.

  Qiong Qi wouldn't kiss, and soon gave up on Ming Gui's lips. Suddenly remembering the feeling of biting Ming Gui's neck before, he quickly lowered his head, opened his mouth and bit onto Ming Gui's neck, then stuck out his tongue to lick back and forth at his neck.

  Ming Gui was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, which were cold and piercing. With a sudden burst of strength, he broke free from Qiong Qi's grip on his hands. Ming Gui quickly turned over, pinning Qiong Qi to the ground, and in an instant, their positions were reversed.

  Ming Gui's eyes were very sharp, his hands pressed down on Qiong Qi's arm, Qiong Qi's tail swept up to hit Ming Gui, Ming Gui bent his knee and topped it off, directly pressing his tail to the ground. Qiong Qi's tail was particularly sensitive, immediately letting out a "hiss" sound, raising its neck.

  The ghost's voice was cold and said: "I told you not to touch my neck."

  Qiong Qi was stunned for a moment, seemingly intimidated by Ming Gui's gaze. However, his tail was being pressed down, rendering him immobile. Ming Gui whispered, "You're looking for death."

  Wen Baiyu felt something was off in front of her eyes. These two people had changed from being intimate to wanting to fight, and she was thinking about how to mediate the situation.

  The result was stunned, and the next moment, Ming Gui suddenly lowered his head, pressed his lips to Qiong Qi's lips, Qiong Qi opened his eyes wide, made two "uu" sounds in his mouth, and quickly let go of his tail, which obediently wrapped around Ming Gui's waist, with the tip still swinging...

  Xiao Chui Long and Xiao Xue Mu Hua naturally blocked the eyes of Dan/Dan and Xiao Yu Mao, Dan/Dan blinked and said: "Long needle eye?"

  Xiao Chui Long nodded slightly...
