Chapter 76: Ye Lang Ancient Country 3

  Chapter 76: The Ancient Night Lang Country 3

  Wen Baiyu was pinched by him and almost jumped up, hurriedly putting on his pants quickly. However, due to the strong wind in the valley and not wearing underwear inside, Wen Baiyu always felt a chill down there, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou couldn't help but laugh at his appearance, and Wen Bai Yu glared at him.

  At this time, Di Liang and Xiao Hai had already walked back. Xiao Hai did not notice Wen Baiyu's abnormality and said: "That cave is particularly small, it's just a turn of the body, and Di Liang said there was a problem."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Is there still a problem with the mountain cave?"

  Di Liang nodded and said: "I've heard that there's a living tomb in Guizhou, I'm afraid this cave is one of them."

  The crowd followed and walked over, only to find that it was not a cave at all. It was just too dark, so people mistakenly thought it was a cave. This was a stone chamber built with stones on a large rock on the mountain in the canyon, just as Xiaohai said, there was only room to turn around.

  This is a tomb, and according to Di Renjie, it was used for living people after the destruction of the Nighlang Kingdom.

  The cave is not very big, they have to bow their heads after entering, and can't stand upright. On the top of their heads, there is a table with some unclear residue and some utensils, but all the utensils are empty.

  Di Liang said: "The living tomb is for the living, this one is for putting food in. Once the food is eaten up, the people inside will starve to death and become a real tomb. But it's said that the descendants of Night Lang are all crawling out from the living tombs."

  Xiao Hai was suddenly a little scared, Di Liang comforted him saying: "It's okay, this living tomb looks like it has been empty for a long time."

  Xiaohai said: "It's precisely because it was empty that it proves something must have crawled out, which is what's scary."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked around in a circle, then squatted down and stretched out his hand to touch the corner of the wall where some patterns were carved.

  Wen Baiyu also squatted down and said, "Huh? Is there a seam here?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded, then stretched out his hand to pry at the edge of the seam. Suddenly exerting force, a "click" sound was heard, and a stone block from the corner of the wall was pried off by him. The inside of the stone was hollow, and it actually contained something.

  A piece of skin.

  "What is this thing?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It looks like cowhide."

  He said, picked it up and unfolded it, and saw that there were words written inside.

  Wen Baiyu quickly let Di Liang take a look, but Di Liang couldn't see it all either. It can be said that he only understood some words because his research was stopped by the teacher at that time, so he didn't develop in this area again.

  Everyone got a piece of cowhide, but they couldn't understand the words on it and didn't know what it was used for.

  Wen Baiyu stroked his chin and said: "I think maybe Fang Xinran can understand this, let's wait until we find her to talk about it."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I'm afraid she understood but didn't tell the truth."

  Everyone fell silent at the same time, Fang Xiran obviously knew something, but had been hiding it all along. They knew very little about the ancient Night Lang Kingdom, and Fang Xiran was Professor Fang's daughter; perhaps Professor Fang had left behind other things that they hadn't seen, but Fang Xiran knew about them.

  Perhaps Professor Fang's research is just a matter of course for everyone.

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, then Xiaohai pulled on Di Liang's sleeve and said, "Let's go out, don't stay here."

  After all, it's a living tomb, and no one likes to rest in the tomb either, so they went back to the big stone again. Wen Baiyu lit the fire, fortunately the flames were fierce, although the wind in the canyon was strong, but couldn't blow it out.

  They sat around the bonfire, this small rock can't pitch a tent, so they had to huddle together for warmth.

  When everyone was about to fall asleep, Wen Baiyu's phone suddenly rang, and his ringtone was the default one, startling everyone.

  Wen Baiyu quickly took out her phone and unexpectedly found that there was still a signal in this deep mountain forest, but the signal was only one bar.

  The phone call was made by Zou Chengyi, and Wen Baiyu felt a wave of excitement. Had Zou Chengyi found the place?

  He had just picked it up and put it to his ear, saying "hello", but there was no sound inside. He took a look at the phone and found that it showed a failed call!

  The signal is gone too.

  Wen Baiyu quickly got up, walked around on the stone, holding his mobile phone and fiddling with it for a long time. It wasn't until half a day had passed that Wen Baiyu finally managed to get a signal, then he quickly dialed the number. The ringing tone lasted for a very long time, just as it was about to automatically hang up, Zou Chengyi finally picked up the phone.

  Wen Baiyu hadn't had time to speak when Zou Chengyi suddenly exclaimed: "Yi Feng is gone!"

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback and said: "What's wrong with him? Weren't you together?"

  Zou Chengyi's voice was urgent and his breathing was heavy, as if he had just been through intense exercise. "We found a tomb," he said. "Yi Feng went in to take a look and didn't come out all day. I think..."

  He stopped talking at this point and didn't continue, and the situation of the whistling wind was probably a bit dangerous.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Where are you, we'll rush over right away."

  Zou Chengyi said: "I don't know where there is a well..."

  He said that, the current sound in the mobile phone suddenly increased, then a burst of noise, Wen Baiyu called Zhou Chengyi twice, but the other party's voice was still unclear, finally "ding" a light ring, the mobile phone hung up, showing the end of the call.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly became anxious, his signal was still one bar, he immediately dialed Zhou Chengyi again, but the other party's phone just couldn't get through, and finally turned off.

  Wen Baiyu held her mobile phone and asked, "Is it Zhou Chengyi's call?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "They didn't know what tomb they had found, the wind went in and never came out. I think Zou Chengyi also encountered something, but his phone was unreachable. I asked him where he was, all I could hear clearly was 'there's a well'."

  "Well?"

  Everyone was at a loss as to where to find a well that had something to do with the tomb.

  Di Liang also shook his head and said, "I've never heard of a well like that."

  Yi Feng didn't come out of the tomb for a whole day, he must have encountered something. And what surprised Wen Bai Yu was that Zou Cheng Yi actually let Yi Feng go into the tomb alone. In other words, Yi Feng actually left Zou Cheng Yi, a person with a leg injury, behind by himself, which is very unreasonable. They must have encountered something, and at that time, they could only let Yi Feng go down alone.

  Wen Baiyu said this, and everyone became restless. Yi Feng had been gone for a whole day, and if he encountered danger, the longer it took, the less likely he was to survive.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stood up and said: "Let's go."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and asked Di Liang and Xiao Hai, both of whom were fine and could continue on their way.

  They had already stopped the car outside and could only walk forward on foot, following the water all the way. Not far from where they walked, Xiaohai suddenly exclaimed "Ah" and pointed to the front, saying: "There's someone."

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, in front of me not far away, a person was lying down, her lower body soaked in water, and her upper body lying on the rock, seemingly having fainted.

  It was Fang Xiran they were looking for.

  The crowd walked away, Wen Baiyu lowered his head to take a look, reached out and pressed on Fang Xinran's neck, still had a pulse, just a bit weak.

  Fang Xinran's hair was disheveled and covered her face, the crowd lifted her up and placed her on the flat ground beside her, only to see that Fang Xinran had a large bump on her forehead, seemingly with some broken skin, looking like she had hit it.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but want to laugh, looking at her like that, probably ran too fast, tripped over a big rock and got knocked out.

  Wen Baiyu scooped up some water and splashed it on Fang Xinran's face. As soon as the water hit, Fang Xinran suddenly let out a loud "ah!" and Wen Baiyu was startled, taking a big jump back and almost hitting the large rock behind her.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou quickly stretched out his hand to support his waist, otherwise Wen Bai Yu would have fallen and hit the back of her head.

  Fang Xiran suddenly woke up with a loud cry, his face pale, obviously frightened. Seeing them breathe a sigh of relief, he immediately said in terror: "D...did that monster catch up?!?"

  Di Liang shook his head and said, "They didn't catch up."

  Fang Xinran patted his chest and said: "Great, great......"

  Wen Baiyu sat on that big rock and said, "Do you know what that thing is?"

  Fang Xiran was taken aback for a moment and said, "Of course I don't know him."

  "Never mind, we have urgent matters too. You stay here and feed the monster by yourself, we'll leave first."

  He stood up and said, Fang Xinran immediately rushed over, grabbed Wen Baiyu's hand and said: "Don't go, you have to save me, take me with you..."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou's face turned unpleasant as he stretched out his hand to brush aside Fang Xin Ran's hand.

  Fang Xinran turned her head and grabbed Di Liang, saying: "A Liang, I'm Xinran, you can't leave me alone, take me with you, I..."

  Di Liang said: "We want to know about the Night Lang Ancient Country."

  Fang Xiran was taken aback for a moment and said: "You... you are also looking for this."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Really? You're also looking."

  "You'll never find it in your lifetime."

  "So if you want to come with us, let's cooperate and search together; otherwise, we'll leave you alone."

  Fang Xiran pursed her lips, seemingly in thought. After a minute, she said, "Alright, let's cooperate."

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "It's better to have done it earlier, let's go."

  Fang Xinran ran so far in one breath, and it was a bit difficult to walk. She wanted Di Liang to support her, but Di Liang spoke up ahead of time and said: "Xiao Hai, are you tired? I'll carry you on my back?"

  He said, and then he carried Xiao Hai on his back. Xiao Hai said strangely: "I just rested, I'm not tired at all."

  He said, sincerely to Di Liang: "I think Miss Fang is quite tired, why don't you carry her?"

  Di Liang: "......"

  Di Liang was choked with a mouthful of blood in his chest and almost suffered an internal injury from Xiao Hai's blow.

  Di Liang lowered his voice and said: "You really are generous."

  Xiao Hai didn't understand what was going on, blinked his eyes, and once again made Di Liang so angry that he almost died.

  Everyone continued to walk forward along the river, and Fang Xiner said: "I haven't been here either, I don't know the specific location, we still need to find it. But once we find the water source, following the water all the way forward will definitely lead us there."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Do you know if there's a well nearby? We need to find one."

  "What?!"

  Fang Xinran suddenly raised her voice, then felt a bit out of place and immediately shook her head saying: "I don't know what you're talking about, is it a well? Every place has wells."

  Wen Baiyu looked at her reaction, Fang Xinran must have had reservations, and this well was definitely related to the Night Lang Ancient Country. It's possible that Zou Chengyi and the others found what everyone was looking for - the tomb.

  Wen Baiyu took out her mobile phone and looked at it, but there was no signal at all. It was impossible to get through, and even if she did, Zou Chengyi's phone had been turned off anyway.

  Wen Baiyu was a bit impatient, they walked all the way until dawn, when the sky was slightly bright, Fang Xiran was already exhausted, panting heavily, sitting on a large stone in the water, and insisted on resting for a while.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took out food from his backpack and distributed it to the crowd. Everyone ate while resting for five minutes, then continued walking along the river downstream.

  The canyon is very long, and the water flow in front of it has started to widen a bit, allowing two or three people to walk side by side. It's no problem to drive in now, and riverbanks have appeared, so they finally don't have to wade through the water to move forward.

  They walked along the riverbank, following the flow of the water, with waist-high weeds on both sides, and the cold wind blowing through, making a rustling sound.

  Everyone came up from the water, their clothes were still wet, and they shivered with cold as soon as they were blown by the wind.

  Just then, a rustling sound was heard, followed by the sudden report of a gunshot, and a figure emerged from the bushes.

  A tall figure grasped Wen Baiyu's neck with one hand, pulling him back and tightening his grip. Immediately afterwards, Wen Baiyu felt something pressed against his temple.

  Just as a gunshot rang out, Wan Xi Jing Hou immediately dodged to the back, and the bullet hit right in front of his feet. He looked up and suddenly turned pale.

  All I saw was a tall man holding a gun against Wen Baiyu's head, his hand also reaching back to strangle Wen Baiyu's neck.

  His outfit is just right for being with Fang Xinran's group of people.

  Fang Xiran saw that he was overjoyed for a moment, the man burst out laughing and said: "Hmph! I'm starving to death, and it's just right that someone is delivering food to my doorstep. You, little kid in front, take off your backpacks and kick them over here. Otherwise, I'll shoot him dead with one shot!"

  He said, and at the same time, he gently bumped against Wen Baiyu's forehead.

  The man was much taller than Wen Baiyu, with extremely thick arms. He almost choked Wen Baiyu, who coughed twice.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's face looked very unsightly, and he said: "Let him go."

  The man burst out laughing and said, "Stop spouting so much nonsense to me. Let this little white face go, hurry up and kick the stuff over. Otherwise, if you anger me, I'll..."

  He hadn't finished speaking when Wen Baiyu coughed and said, "Who are you calling a pretty boy?"

  The man laughed and said: "I'm talking about you, what's wrong? Look at your pale face, I..."

  He hadn't finished speaking, when Wen Baiyu suddenly stomped down with one foot, right on the man's instep. The man let out a loud "ah" and was immediately enraged, just about to pull the trigger, when he heard a "whooshing" sound. He looked down to see that his crotch was actually on fire!

  "Ahhhhh!!"

  The man let out a loud cry and immediately jumped into the river, but the flames were too big and the water was too shallow. He sat down in the water with a thud, then lay down and rolled around, causing the water to make a "gurgling" sound.

  Wen Baiyu raised an eyebrow, and Xiao Hai saw that the man's crotch was on fire, and suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing with a "pu" sound.

  The man rushed into the river, putting out the fire, and his pants had already been burned through a hole. Xiaohai looked over curiously, and Dili quickly covered his eyes, saying: "Xiaohai, don't look at what's not proper to see."

  Xiao Hai said: "His pants were all burned off, it's so funny, what is called 'don't look at something indecent'? But you also often strip me naked and take a look."

  Wen Baiyu let out a "cough" and was choked, Xiao Hai was really professional in stabbing, one knife saw blood, Di Liang's body probably had dozens of knives already, what a miserable life.

  The men in the river thought they were being mocked and furiously raised their guns, saying: "Go die!"

  He was about to fire when Wan Jie Jing Hou's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly kicked up a small stone with his foot. With a "whooshing" sound, the stone flew out and grazed the man's wrist, causing blood to gush out instantly. The man let out a loud "ahh" as he fell into the river water with a splash.

  The stone of Wan Qi Jing Hou is more useful than bullets.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou walked up to Wen Bai Yu's side and asked, "Are you alright?"

  Wen Baiyu shook his head, with a very proud face, he had just burned through the man's crotch.

  At this moment, the man in the water suddenly let out a mournful cry of "Ahhhhh!!", scaring Xiao Hai so much that he jumped and said: "Is there a bug biting his butt in the river?"

  The man's body was half-crouched in the river water, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab frantically, with a look of terror on his face, his complexion pale, and it was unclear what he was doing. Suddenly, small bubbles emerged from the river water, one after another, very densely packed, and then the man slowly sank down into the water.

  The man shouted loudly: "Save me! Save me!!"

  He had just shouted twice when his body suddenly sank down and disappeared into the water. Mobile phone mobile terminal first launch address:

  This change is really too strange, they also came along the river, and the river embankment was not silt, on top of the silt there was a pile of stones, stepping on it felt very hard, let alone trapping people, even sinking down was impossible.

  And this man was actually swallowed by the river in front of them?

  Fang Xiran was so frightened that he began to tremble and sat down on the ground with a thud, saying: "I've seen a ghost! There's something in the river!"

  Everyone's first reaction was also that there was something in the river, but the water was too shallow. The man had to squat or lie down to put out the fire, and the water was clear. How could anything be hidden inside without anyone seeing it?

  At this moment, the river water made a "gurgling" sound again, and then many small bubbles emerged on the surface of the river, and something really came out of the river.

  He is a man!

  However, it was only a human figure, without facial features. A muddy face flowed with mud, dripping down from the river water, growing out bit by bit, and there were many small stones on its body, just like the skin of a leper, terrifying.

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Mud man?"

  A muddy figure emerged from the water, dripping with mud, and slowly walked up from the river. As he climbed up to the riverbank, a large hole appeared, and the man who had just been there was deeply buried in the riverbank, his face covered in mud, already suffocated to death.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Alas, this mud man is also quite handsome, how can he look so good? This mud man is really scary, it seems that Zou Chengyi's pinch is still better."

  A figure made of mud suddenly pounced over, a wave of earthy smell rushed over, Wan Kuang Jing Hou drew out the dragon scale dagger, leaped up, and kicked one foot on the chest of the muddy man.

  The muddy man was kicked back several steps, fell into the river, and then got up and continued to rush towards this side.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took advantage of this opportunity and turned his head to say to Wen Bai Yu: "Block for me." A flame burst out from his hand.

  Wen Baiyu immediately ran over to block Fang Xinran, but Wen Baiyu's stature was not enough, and Fang Xinran still stared tightly at the mud man.

  Wen Baiyu was afraid that she would discover the abnormality of Wan Kuang Jing Hou, so he directly pinched Fang Xin's neck, and Fang Xin let out a loud cry, and immediately fainted.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's hands burst into flames, and the mud man had already rushed to his side. Being burned by the flames, he instantly became hard as stone, completely unafraid of fire.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly narrowed his eyes and jumped up fiercely, kicking the muddy man's chest with a loud thud.

  With a "crack crack" sound, the mud man, although burnt to hardness, was extremely brittle and was actually kicked by Wan Qi Jing Hou into flying everywhere.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but touch her own chest, feeling that the kick was really too forceful, and even she herself felt the pain.

  As I watched, the mud man broke into four or five pieces and fell to the ground. But the mud didn't die; some of it touched water and immediately grew back into human shape, this time turning into many small mud men.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a headache and picked up Fang Xiran from the ground, saying: "Let's run away, this fight is not working."

  Di Liang grabbed Xiao Hai and said, "Let's go quickly."

  Xiao Hai then wiped his mouth and looked at those muddy men, sucking in a breath, saying: "Can I eat them?"

  Di Liang: "......"

  Di Liang immediately said: "No way, don't eat everything, it'll upset your stomach, follow me."

  Xiao Hai was left staring at those mud people and was dragged away by Di Liang.

  The mudman's reaction speed was not fast, to put it bluntly, a bit silly. Wen Baiyu and the others ran ahead, and the mudman reacted for a long time before slowly catching up.

  Because these mud men were really troublesome, and Wen Baiyu and others had to find Zou Chengyi and Xi Feng quickly, they didn't have time to entangle with them, so they hurried forward.

  They kept running forward, and Fang Xiran suddenly woke up midway. Wen Baiyu said: "I'll tell you, now behind us are not only the monster babies chasing, but also some mud people. If you know the place, hurry up and go, your people have almost died, do you still want to delay?"

  Fang Xiran's eyes flickered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, but still said: "I have a condition."

  "What conditions?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Fang Xiran said: "I'll take the things in the tomb first."

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "So you're a grave robber?"

  Fang Xinran coldly laughed and said: "What's a grave robber? I have my own plans, this can't be told to you."

  "We don't want to know, let's just move on, or else the things behind us will catch up."

  Fang Xiran looked at Di Liang again, then continued walking forward.

  Fang Xiran continued walking forward along the river, and after a short distance, the river became wider and more open. By dusk, they had already walked out of the canyon.

  The river flows into the sea and becomes a vast expanse of water, surrounded by forests on all sides.

  Fang Xiran said: "The ancient post road should be around here."

  Di Liang said: "In the forest?"

  He smiled and said, "No, in the water."

  Everyone was surprised, and the ancient post road of those years had been submerged by the river?

  Fang Xinran continued, "The well you're looking for is, as far as I know, the entrance to an ancient tomb. In the late period of Nanchao, King Nanchao and the surrounding twenty small countries had conflicts and constant wars. The Han Dynasty needed to ensure stability in the southwest, so they sent people to mediate, but King Nanchao refused to listen. The governor beheaded the then-King Nanchao Xing, also known as Mo Yaxi. Later, Mo Yaxi's father-in-law and son took revenge by sending troops to resist, but at that time, internal conflicts began within Nanchao. Mo Yaxi's son fled all the way, resulting in the 'Living Tomb' and the well you're looking for, both of which were used to deceive people."

  She looked around and said, "We've found the ancient post road, so we're close to finding the well entrance. What's known as 'tidal burial' refers to tombs being underwater. My father's research showed that the mechanisms inside ancient tombs all used tidal movements to change. When the tide rises, the tomb passage narrows; when it falls, the passage widens. If someone doesn't know the rules behind this and is still in the tomb passage during high tide, they'll be crushed to death."

  As soon as he said that, Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat. The tide had been going in for a whole day, and within that day, the high and low tides each occurred twice. Since the tide hadn't come out yet, it must have caught up with the high tide.

  The crowd walked forward along the river, and as they went further, the river became wider and more turbulent.

  Just as it was about to get dark, Wen Baiyu suddenly saw something lying on the shore. They quickly walked over and found that the thing was Zou Chengyi's wheelchair.

  Zou Chengyi's wheelchair is very special, the steel material is very light, extremely solid, and both armrests of the wheelchair have blades that can be taken out for self-defense.

  The wheelchair was overturned on the ground, already smashed into a corner, apparently having suffered a huge impact. Zou Cheng's blood-red signet ring had also fallen to the ground, and the knife blade popped out, with bloodstains on it.

  Wen Baiyu immediately looked around, there was no one, behind him was a forest, and in front of him was the vast river.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Zou Chengyi and Xi Feng found the ancient tomb, saying there was a well, Xi Feng has already gone in, Zou Chengyi can't be too far away, his wheelchair is here, the grave should be nearby. Don't know what happened to Zou Chengyi..."

  Wan Ji Jing Hou said: "Don't worry first, go find it everywhere."

  Because the surroundings were very desolate, people didn't dare to disperse and search separately, so they had to search together in a group. They walked deep into the forest but still couldn't find Zou Chengyi, and there was no bloodstain on the ground either.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This is not right, Zou Chengyi's legs are inconvenient, it's impossible to walk too far, we've all searched around, where can he go, will he be taken away?"

  "Perhaps it has gone down into the water."

  They were talking when they suddenly heard a loud "haha" laughter.

  Fang Xinran suddenly shrieked and said: "Ghost! That ghost!! He's back!!"

  Fang Xinran's reaction was too intense, Wen Baiyu said: "That child? What is it?"

  "Fang Xiner nervously said: 'It's a ghost! It really is a ghost, I've seen my father's research, my father called this thing a ghost. The nobles of Ye Lang have a way to raise ghosts, specifically using children as ghosts. Once this thing is raised, it only listens to its master's words.'"

  "Raising ghosts?" White Feather Fox asked doubtfully.

  As they spoke, "Haha" was heard again, followed by another burst of laughter, and then a " splash", something emerged from the surface of the water.

  The sky had already darkened, but it wasn't completely black. That thing crawled out of the river water, laughing as it crawled, which was what Fang Xiran called a "ghost".

  Fang Xinran was so frightened that her face turned pale and she said: "Really... it's really a ghost!"

  The child crawled out of the water and slowly crawled towards them, with a split mouth still smiling, but his eyes remained closed without opening.

  Wen Baiyu noticed that the ghost's neck had a long, bloody gash on it, which hadn't healed yet. It was possible that Zou Chengyi had inflicted the wound.

  The child laughed "haha" with a wide smile that almost reached their ears, then slowly opened their eyes and let out another "haha".

  Fang Xinran let out a loud cry and immediately dodged to one side, avoiding the child's eyes as if extremely afraid of them.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou pulled Wen Bai Yu to quicken her pace for two steps, then released her hand and suddenly started sprinting forward.

  The child's eyes turned around and stared at Wan Jie Jing Hou, the icy blue eye sockets emitting a glow. Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly jumped up and dodged the light. The child saw that Wan Jie Jing Hou had approached, and quickly started to crawl. His two arms were thick and strong, but he crawled with an unusual agility, swiftly crawling far away in just two movements.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou followed up, stretched his leg and swept it, and heard a "bang" sound. The child was kicked up by him in an instant, and the child let out a sharp laugh of "haha". He quickly crawled into the river water and disappeared after two or three times, never to climb back up again.

  "Did he run away?"

  Fang Xinran rushed over at this time, looking at the calm river water and said: "It must be in here, there are ghosts buried with the ancient tombs of Yelang State, that ghost is crawling up from the river, the wellhead must be inside!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "But Inokuchi is below, we don't know how deep it is, and we didn't bring a diving tank."

  Xiao Hai patted his own chest and said: "I'll go take a look."

  Di Liang said: "No way, the ghost is still down there, it's too dangerous for you to go down alone."

  "It's okay, I have an idea."

  He said with a smile, leaning close to Di Liang's ear: "I can become a clam, my shell is very hard."

  Di Liang was still a bit worried, and Xiao Hai said: "I'll go down for two minutes to see if there's really a well."

  Di Liang couldn't persuade him, and their situation was quite urgent now. Zou Chengyi had disappeared, and Yi Feng had been in the tomb for so long that he feared something would go wrong.

  Xiao Hai made everyone wait, and soon he dove into the water. Di Liang kept watching the surface of the water, fearing that the ghost would suddenly attack Xiao Hai.

  More than a minute later, the water surface suddenly made a "plop" sound, and Xiao Hai emerged from below.

  Di Liang felt a sudden relief in his heart, quickly reached out to pull Xiao Hai out of the water, then wrapped him in a towel and asked: "How is it, are you hurt?"

  Xiaohai shook his head and Fang Xiran said: "Have you found it or not?"

  Xiao Hai said: "Yes, there is a well below, it's a bit deep, but there is no water in the well. Holding one's breath can still go in."

  Fang Xinran immediately became excited and said: "Great, let's hurry down."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou just took a glance at Fang Xin Ran and then found a branch to start writing some numbers on the ground.

  "What are you writing?" asked Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Calculate the time of high tide and low tide."

  He said, glancing at his watch, it was already half past six in the evening.

  Wan Qi Jinghou threw away the branch in his hand and said, "We have limited time. Now it's already low tide, and before the next high tide, there are still three and a half hours left, which means we must get out of the well before 12 o'clock."

  Wen Baiyu frowned and said: "Three and a half hours is too short."

  Wan Qi Jinghou took off his backpack and then pulled out a waterproof cloth from inside and threw it to everyone. Everyone wrapped their backpacks with the waterproof cloth.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou put on his backpack and said, "For now, this is the only way. Hopefully, we can find Yi Feng and the others within three hours."

  The water was extremely cold, and Xiao Hai said it was a bit deep. Wen Baiyu felt a little nervous, but there was no time to waste, so she had to grab Wan Qi Jinghou and let him take her down into the water.

  As expected, not long after entering the water, an opening to a well could be seen. The opening was not large and even slightly chubby people couldn't fit in. Everyone crawled into the well, which had a certain distance before it stopped going straight down and turned into an L-shape. From here on out, the river water gradually decreased until it disappeared, leaving only slight dampness inside the well.

  Wen Baiyu gasped for breath twice, this was not just a bit deep, it almost took his life. Fang Xinran had already lost some strength and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

  All around was dark, and the crowd took out flashlights from their backpacks to tie them on their arms. Fang also took one and tied it on her arm.

  Wen Baiyu poked Wang Jinghou and said, "Why do I feel that Fang Xiran's movements are so professional?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded slightly, as if affirming Wen Bai Yu's idea.

  Everyone walked along the well and into it, a square passageway that was obviously man-made.

  They walked in for five minutes and suddenly a large gate appeared in front of them. The copper door was carved with floral patterns, which turned out to be the "ghost" mentioned by Fang Xiran.

  Two bronze doors, one side with a giant "ghost", both ghosts are on the back of a person, that person is sitting on a throne, under his feet are kneeling crowds.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the bronze door and said, "Carrying a ghost?"

  Fang Xiner gazed at the bronze gate in front of her, her expression somewhat agitated. "Right, right, it's this one," she said. "The person carrying a ghost is the master, and only the nobles of Night Lang Country have the privilege of raising ghosts. This is a symbol of status. I've heard legends that say Night Lang is the largest country in the surrounding area, not just because of its strong military power, but also because they are extremely warlike and consume a lot of resources. However, other countries have never been able to defeat Night Lang, precisely because they possess these 'ghosts'. The power of ghosts is incredibly strong, but raising them requires a great deal of consumption."

  "What does it need to consume?"

  He smiled and said, "Do you still remember the person we saw at the entrance of the canyon? The ghost crawled out from his belly. This is what needs to be consumed. Ghosts like to eat human internal organs, and they only eat living people. We need to use a living person to feed him."

  Everyone who heard it felt a chill run down their spine.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou checked the bronze door, which was open, and it was clear that someone had opened it before, probably the gust of wind just now.

  The crowd opened the bronze gate and walked in. Inside was the real tomb, where a passageway appeared, with carvings on both sides of the passageway.

  It was originally a bamboo, then carved into a narrative mural, and naturally became the Water Escape Saint Mother. The Night Lang Kingdom worships bamboo, the Night Lang King was born in ancient bamboo, given great power, and many ritual vessels in the Night Lang Kingdom have bamboo on them.

  The crowd continued to move forward, when suddenly they heard a loud "whooshing" sound. The long lanterns on both sides of the tomb passage suddenly lit up, and the flames rose high, scaring Fang Xiran into letting out a loud "ah!" as he exclaimed: "Lanterns! There are actually lanterns?!"

  Fang Xinran saw the Longming Lamp for the first time, and no one lit it, but it suddenly lit up. However, others knew that the sudden lighting of the Longming Lamp meant that someone must have touched the mechanism!

  Wen Baiyu suddenly tensed up, and then heard the sound of "haha" coming from afar. It seemed to be from the front tomb chamber. At the same time, a loud "boom" sound came from the front tomb chamber, followed by a person's muffled groan.

  Everyone looked at each other and immediately ran forward, that voice was Zhou Chengyi's!

  The crowd rushed into the tomb, first saw two ghosts, and then saw Zou Chengyi fell to the corner, his face was a bit pale, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, he wiped away his own blood with the back of his hand, and struggled to get up from the ground.

  Wen Baiyu saw Zou Chengyi's pant leg emitting a blue glow, and he actually stood up from the ground. His eyes emitted a blue glow, his body was filled with a terrifying aura, and he suddenly charged forward, stretched out his hand to grab a ghost, twisted his wrist, and retracted his fingers. With a "crack" sound, the ghost let out a "hahahaha" scream as its head was twisted off by Zou Chengyi.

  Zou Chengyi stretched out his hand and threw it, just throwing it to Fang Xinran's feet. The ghost's head had been twisted off, but it didn't fall off, the skin was still hanging on, twisted and lying on the ground. Its two eyes were like two caves, its big mouth open, as if staring at her. Fang Xinran was so scared that she let out a loud cry of "Ah——", stumbled two steps, and sat down on the ground with a thud.

  Another ghost saw the sudden change in front of him and seemed to be frightened. "Haha" he cried out, quickly crawling away from the outside.

  Wen Baiyu was startled by this scene, Zou Chengyi seemed to be in a state of violent rage, and he could actually stand up. His two eyes turned icy blue, staring blankly at the crowd.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand to stop Wen Bai Yu and said: "Zou Cheng Yi doesn't seem right."

  Zou Chengyi stared at them, his throat emitting a furious roar, his hands trembling nonstop. The crowd was frozen for several seconds before Zou Chengyi suddenly let out a loud bellow, his legs buckling, and with a "thud", he fell to the ground, instantly losing consciousness.

  Wen Baiyu quickly ran over, picked up Zou Chengyi, and felt that Zou Chengyi's weight was really too light. He rolled up Zou Chengyi's pant legs, and the icy blue bones had already begun to spread upwards from his knees, apparently because Zou Chengyi had used too much strength just now.

  Wen Baiyu checked Zou Chengyi's breathing, which was still stable, more stable than when he was furious earlier. The other party hadn't fainted for long, furrowed his brow, and opened his eyes.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly took a deep breath and said: "Your eyes..."

  As soon as he spoke, everyone noticed that Zou Chengyi's eyes had turned blue, a crystal clear blue, and his two eyes seemed to have become two pieces of jade, although they emitted a bright light, but were completely devoid of spirit.

  Zou Chengyi seemed to feel that something was off as well, he blinked his eyes, and then his face looked a bit dazed for an instant, stiffening up, his throat moved twice.

  Wen Baiyu saw his face stiffen and involuntarily stretched out his hand in front of him, waving it lightly. Zou Chengyi's eyes didn't move at all, as if he couldn't see him.

  Zou Chengyi let out a bitter laugh and said, "I can't see it anymore."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly didn't know what to feel in her heart, Zou Chengyi supported himself to sit up and said: "Actually I knew this was going to happen sooner or later, didn't expect it to be so soon."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced at his watch and said, "There's no time."

  "What time is it? Ah, something has happened with the wind!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "The tomb passage design of this ancient tomb should be changed according to the tidal changes, and in three hours the tomb passage will close, we must hurry up to find the exit."

  Zou Chengyi muttered: "Tides? But the wind has been coming in for a whole day."

  He said, and then stopped talking.

  Wen Bai pulled Zhou Chengyi up and put him on his back, saying: "Let's go."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou took the lead, and the crowd came out of the tomb chamber, walking along the tomb passage. The long lanterns on both sides lit up, and the tomb passage was no longer dark. However, everyone didn't know where the mechanism was. The long lanterns couldn't be voice-controlled, they must have touched something to ignite.

  Zou Chengyi lay on the back of Wen Baiyu for a while, seemingly recovering some strength, and said: "I found that those strange children have some problems. Their eyes are the bones of the Divine Crow clan, but they themselves are not members of the Divine Crow clan. Why do this?"

  Wen Baiyu shook her head, finding that Zou Chengyi was nowhere to be seen. She said, "I don't know, but we found something else. Do you remember the mirror we found in the Mirror Tomb? This mirror should actually have two sides, with a yin-yang pattern on the back that can be inserted together. The other side of the mirror should be somewhere in this tomb."

  Zou Chengyi said: "That mirror is also made of bones, what's it for?"

  Fang Xiran listened to them talking about mirrors and couldn't help but glance at several people, her eyes moving slightly as if thinking of something.

  They kept walking in, the tomb passage was very wide, and they didn't encounter anything. The long lanterns on both sides were burning continuously, like two fire dragons, leading all the way to the depths.

  In front of them was a tomb, and everyone walked in, only to see that there was no coffin inside the tomb. Instead, there was a huge bronze cauldron with two bronze bells hanging from its handles, emitting a foul odor from within.

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "How is there a pot here?"

  Wan Zhi Jing Hou said: "The Night Lang State has a special head-dressing burial, which is to put a copper pot on the head and bury it. This is their custom, just like the bronze tripod is a ritual vessel, their copper pot is also a kind of ritual vessel."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What's been cooked in this pot smells terrible."

  He said, and then heard "Dang Dang" two sounds, as if someone was knocking on the copper pot, but they were all standing here, a certain distance from the copper pot, it was impossible to stretch out their hands to knock.

  "Hmm..."

  Again two sounds, like knocking on a door, came from the copper cauldron.

  Wen Baiyu grasped Zhou Chengyi's arm with one hand, and held the phoenix bone dagger tightly in the other, vigilantly staring at the huge copper cauldron.

  Everyone leaned in to listen, but all they could hear was the sound of "dang dang", as if someone was constantly striking a bronze cauldron. Bronze cauldrons were originally cooking vessels, but later also became musical instruments. However, a cauldron this large couldn't possibly be a musical instrument.

  "Right!"

  A loud noise was heard, followed by the sound of "haha" laughter coming from the copper cauldron. Everyone looked up and saw Fang Xiran shouting: "Ghost! It's a ghost-refining copper cauldron!"

  Suddenly, several human heads emerged from the edge of the large copper cauldron. Those heads were very big and seemed to have been steamed, with sticky liquid dripping on their faces as they crawled out of the cauldron.

  They were all children, those children's eyes had been dug out, leaving only a big hole, looking like "ghosts" semi-finished products, without the blue light-emitting eyeballs, nor the tinkling sound of copper bells.

  Those kids one by one emerged from the copper cauldron, lowering their heads and looking at them with a raised corner of their mouths, making "haha" laughter sounds.

  Suddenly, a huge copper cauldron emitted "Dangdang" sounds and started violent shaking. Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Back off!"

  The crowd immediately retreated from the tomb, and saw that the huge bronze cauldron suddenly "clanged" to the ground, spewing out a stream of foul-smelling mucus. Immediately after, there was a "patter patter" sound, as several children with rotten skin emerged from inside, laughing "haha", chasing after them.

  Fang Xinran was so frightened that his soul left his body, and he shouted as he ran forward.

  The long bright lamp in front was still burning continuously, behind was the sound of "haha" laughter, and in front came the sound of "rumbling", as if something was moving.

  Wen Baiyu carried Zou Chengyi and ran forward, suddenly shouting: "Not good! It's a gate, the portcullis is going to fall!"

  He shouted, and the crowd looked forward to see that the burning of the Longming lamp was not some kind of crossbow mechanism or flip-board mechanism, but rather as the Longming lamp burned, the thousand-year-old ice that pressed down on the thousand-pound gate mechanism slowly melted. After the thousand-year-old ice melted, the thousand-pound stone door fell from the top and closed completely.

  As they ran over, the gate was only about eighty centimeters away from the ground, and with the melting of the thousand-year-old ice, the speed at which the gate fell was getting faster and faster.

  "Quickly run!"

  He suddenly crouched down and threw Zou Cheng into the gate, then he himself also dodged and slipped through the gap between the gate and the ground.

  Dilang pulled Xiao Hai in quickly, and Fang Xinran was so scared that she couldn't move. She didn't want to enter the gate, this thick stone gate came down, and it's unknown if there's still a way out. But behind them were many "pursuing soldiers".

  Fang Xinran hesitated for a moment, and Wan Jingshou kicked her knee with one foot. Fang Xinran's knee bent, and she fell to the ground instantly. Wan Jingshou didn't know how to cherish or pity her at all, and he kicked again, sending her tumbling into the stone gate.

  The gate fell rapidly, leaving only a little left. Wen Baiyu watched as the half-finished ghosts chased after Wan Qi Jinghou, entwining him. Suddenly, her five fingers spread apart, and a flame burst out from the gap in the gate, "Whoosh!" The ghosts were forced back.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou quickly ducked and slid, and immediately heard a "whoosh" sound, and swiftly slid in from the outside, with extremely crisp and neat movements.

  Suddenly, a loud "Boom!" sounded, and the massive thousand-pound weight fell to the ground with a thud, stirring up a cloud of dust. Any ghosts that tried to chase after were smashed into pulp by the weight.

  Fang Xiran sat on the ground, staring blankly at the falling gate, her face suddenly turning pale. "It's closed... it's closed... what do we do? We still have more than two hours, how are we going to get out?! I don't want to die here!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou did not speak, he just stood up and behind the gate there was another tomb passage, while in front of him was a fork, splitting into two tomb passages leading to different directions.

  There are no more lanterns in here, it's pitch black all around, and everyone turns on their flashlights.

  Wen Baiyu glanced at her watch, time was running out, and they didn't know how big this ancient tomb was.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Alas, how can the wind leave you alone?"

  Zou Chengyi said: "Because I saw a very strange child coming out of the water before, so Yi Feng said he wanted to dive down and take a look. He felt that there was something in the water. I stayed alone on the surface of the water. Yi Feng came up quickly and said that below , there is a well mouth, don't know if it will be a tomb or not. Of course, I also want to follow..."

  But Yi Feng did not agree, Yi Feng's attitude was very firm. Those strange children had problems with their eyeballs, all of which were made from the bones of the Shen Ya tribe. Yi Feng feared that if Zou Chengyi entered, there would be danger.

  The wind on the shore set up a stone array, letting Zou Chengyi and others wait for a while, and went down to take a look. At most two hours will come up, if it is really the tomb group of Night Lang State, then wait for notification to Wen Baiyu and others, and go down together again, more people can also take care of each other.

  Zou Chengyi fell silent for a moment and said: "But Yi Feng went in for a whole day without any news."

  Wen Baiyu said: "It must be trapped, and it's possible that there are other ways out."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "One thing is certain, Yi Feng absolutely did not trigger the mechanism, the mechanisms of Long Ming Lamp and Thousand Year Ice are one-time."

  Di Liang said: "The previous tomb paths only had one path, now they start to fork, which way should we take?"

  Everyone was a bit dazed, and Wan Qi Jing Hou checked the ground on both tomb paths, but there were no special marks, nor did he know which path the wind would choose.

  There are many ghosts buried in this tomb. It's absolutely unwise to search for them separately, but they don't have enough time left and can't walk through one by one.

  Just as everyone was racking their brains wondering which way the typhoon would go, Xiao Hai suddenly shook and said: "I... I feel a bit stuffy in my chest."

  He spoke up and everyone looked at him. Di Liang said: "Bored? Is it like in the villa?"

  Xiaohai nodded and covered her chest with her hand, which happened to be on the mirror, saying: "Hmm... after entering this stone gate, I feel a bit suffocated."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Can you feel which direction?"

  Xiao Hai first walked into the left tomb passage, took a few steps forward, then came out and walked into the right tomb passage. After taking a few more steps, he suddenly stumbled, and Di Liang immediately reached out to catch him, anxiously saying: "Xiao Hai, what's wrong?"

  Xiaohai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's this way, definitely this way."

  Di Liang looked at Xiao Hai's face which was red with exhaustion, and couldn't bear it. He picked up Xiao Hai and carried him on his back, saying: "Take a rest."

  Xiao Hai nodded, that kind of suffocating feeling was very strong, his heart beating faster and faster, Xiao Hai could hardly bear it, he leaned on Di Liang's back with his eyes closed, panting.

  Wen Baiyu touched his chin, the last time in the basement, Xiao Hai also had that kind of feeling, then they found the first ghost, the first ghost was obviously much more powerful than the few ghosts they saw later, and the copper bell on its feet was also very exquisite.

  After the ghost escaped, a black feather was left on the ground. I don't know if Xiaohai sensed that ghost or not. If it did, then that ghost actually escaped into the tomb. According to Fang Xiran's words, if the master raised the ghost, then the ghost would only listen to the master's words. So, the master of that ghost must be in this tomb.

  But everything is speculation, and Xiaohai doesn't know what this feeling is either.

  The crowd slowly walked in, surrounded by complete darkness, and the tomb passage was extremely long.

  The owner of the tomb obviously intentionally built the tomb passage so long, if we can't get out at that time, no matter whether we run forward or backward, we will definitely be crushed to death in the tomb passage.

  Wen Baiyu also took a look at the watch, and it was really not optimistic. They kept walking in, but the tomb passage was too long, and there were no tomb chambers on both sides of the passage. If they waited until dawn, if the tomb walls would indeed change with the tide, then the passage would shrink inward.

  They quickened their pace, and finally a tomb appeared in front of them. As soon as they reached the entrance, they found that this tomb was the same as the previous one, with a huge bronze cauldron inside, which was obviously used for refining ghosts.

  They didn't dare to enter the tomb chamber rashly, they took a glance inside and found nothing but a huge bronze cauldron, then immediately continued moving forward without stopping for a moment.

  Wen Baiyu said, "This is really too sinister. It seems that the tomb owner had planned ahead of time. The tomb passage is so long that when the tide rises, it will pinch people to death. If you find a tomb chamber and crawl in, you won't be pinched to death, but the tomb chamber is full of copper cauldrons, and ghosts will crawl out from inside, making it difficult to advance or retreat."

  Everyone cautiously emerged from the tomb, continuing to move forward. The surroundings were pitch black, and the murals on the tomb walls had changed from the Bamboo King and the Goddess of Hidden Waters to scenes of refining ghosts. Each person was carrying a small ghost on their back, as well as the process of feeding them, just like Fang Xiran had said.

  Wen Baiyu shone his flashlight on the murals and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Fang Xiner said with a smile, "See? I told you! This is what they were fed."

  All I see are those terrifying murals, the Night Lang Kingdom is a slave-holding monarchy, slaves and livestock are on the same level, especially since the Night Lang worship birds and cows, so sometimes slaves aren't even as high-ranking as livestock.

  On the mural, many soldiers of Niran are depicted bringing back slaves and some prisoners of war, locking them in cages, then the master would put the little demons into the cage as well.

  The little demon was like a tiger that had seen raw meat, burrowing into people's bellies and tearing at their internal organs.

  There is a picture of an imp sitting on the ground, holding a heart in its left hand and eating half of another heart with its right hand.

  Wen Baiyu looked like he was about to vomit, fortunately Xiao Hai had a tight chest and his heart was racing too fast, the prolonged intense excitement made Xiao Hai somewhat physically exhausted, and he fell asleep from fatigue, otherwise seeing this scene would have scared him to death.

  He excitedly pointed at the little demon sitting on the ground eating a heart and said: "This one, this one should be the King of Ghosts!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Ghost King? Is it the ghost raised by King Ye of Lang?"

  Fang Xinran excitedly said: "No, it was the daughter of King Yelang who raised him. King Yelang had a daughter whose natural talent since childhood was more formidable than that of his son. Moreover, she also raised the most powerful Ghost King. According to legend, the Ghost King would eat the internal organs of ninety slaves in one sitting. At that time, people were terrified of the Ghost King and some even resisted him. The surrounding small countries united together to wage war against him due to their fear of the Ghost King, which led to the conflict in the southwest. Later, the Han Dynasty sent someone to mediate."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'How did you know?'"

  Fang Xiran smiled and said, "I won't hide it from you, previously one of my father's good friends found him and told him that he had discovered something shocking. It was actually a mass burial site, just a large pit, but the corpses inside were extremely well-preserved, several thousand years old yet not rotten at all. Moreover, most of the people buried there were slaves or prisoners of war, their internal organs had all been removed, and they had suffered extreme fright before death, their faces were extremely terrifying. This mass burial site should be used to feed ghosts."

  Everyone suddenly remembered the work log they saw in the villa, Professor Fang's friend told him a huge secret, and then Professor Fang started to frantically study the Night Lang Kingdom, and soon came up with many results.

  The secret was actually a chaotic burial ground for feeding ghosts.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Ghost King? What Xiaohai sensed, could it be this thing?"

  As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent. If it was really the Ghost King ahead, then this matter would be difficult to handle.

  As everyone continued walking forward, Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that Zou Chengyi's body was trembling slightly.

  Wen Baiyu turned her head and saw Zou Cheng lying on his back behind her, his body constantly **, his eyes tightly closed, and his hands trembling.

  "What's wrong with you?"

  Zou Cheng shook his head and said, "Nothing's wrong, I just fell ill."

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat as he said, "Aching bones? Has the dan medicine stopped working?"

  Zou Cheng's whole body was covered in sweat, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. In an instant, his face turned pale and his light orange lips also turned pale. He weakly gasped for air, saying: "It shouldn't be... I must have been too impatient..."

  Wen Baiyu thought of Zou Chengyi standing in the tomb, his eyes shining brightly. He must have used too much power at that time and now the aftereffects had come.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Can you hold on?"

  Zou Cheng nodded and said, "I'm used to it, don't mind me, let's keep moving forward."

  Zou Chengyi finished speaking, only panting heavily, closing his eyes tightly, biting his teeth, and not saying another word.

  Everyone quickly walked forward and saw a tomb in front of them. Upon entering, they found that there was no bronze cauldron inside.

  Everyone took a glance at their watches; there was still over an hour before the tide rose. They had been walking for so long, and they could count on one hand the number of tombs they had encountered.

  The tomb was very spacious, with only a row of coffins placed in the middle, and from head to toe, there were actually nine.

  All the coffins were wooden, nailed shut and showed no signs of having been opened. Even if Yifeng had come in, it would have been impossible for him to open a coffin by himself. From this point, it was unclear whether Yifeng had actually come or not.

  Everyone in the tomb turned around, considering whether to move forward or not. They walked for almost an hour, but the tomb passage was too long. If they continued to move forward and there were no more tombs ahead, or if it was a copper coffin tomb, they would be in danger when dawn broke.

  If you want to stay here, then you have to wait until the tide goes out before you can leave, but that means waiting for a very long time. They brought food and that's not a problem, but staying in the tomb with the wind for such a long time is unbearable.

  Just as everyone was thinking, Fang Xiran suddenly let out a loud cry.

  Everyone jumped down and Fang Xiner pointed at a coffin, saying: "The coffin... the coffin... has no nails!"

  She said, and the crowd looked over. Indeed, this coffin had no nails because it was placed among many coffins, and at first glance, it didn't seem out of the ordinary. However, surprisingly, there were no nails on top, and the coffin lid was simply covered with a thin layer.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou walked over, stretched out his hand to push the lid, and heard a "click" sound. The lid was pushed open, and Fang Xin Rang shouted again, saying in horror: "Empty! Did it run away?"

  Everyone took a look and indeed it was empty. There were many burial objects in the coffin, not a fake tomb, there should be a corpse, but now it's actually empty.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's face didn't look good, and just at this moment, a loud "Ka!" sound was heard. Because everyone was holding flashlights, they saw a huge black shadow crawling into the tomb from outside, and a huge head was reflected on the tomb wall...

  Wen Bai's flashlight immediately shone over and it was a desiccated corpse!

  A desiccated corpse crawled in from outside, a sly smile spreading across its face as it slowly made its way inside.

  Fang Xinran saw a mummy for the first time, and it was still moving. Its entire skin had dried up and turned dark purple, its face was just a skull wrapped in a layer of skin. She was so scared that her face turned pale white, and her teeth chattered with fear.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced sideways, then stretched out his hand and patted the coffin lid. The huge coffin lid flew off with a "whoosh" and slammed into the desiccated corpse. However, the corpse's head seemed to be incredibly hard, and all that could be heard was a loud cracking sound as the coffin lid shattered.

  Wood chips flew everywhere, and Wan Zhi Jing Hou immediately pounced on him. The dry corpse stretched out his hand to grab him, but Wan Zhi Jing Hou kicked his hand with one foot, and then trampled down, hearing a "crack" sound, he had already stepped on the dry corpse's hand, making it impossible for him to move. Then, the dragon-scale dagger in his hand quickly rose up, and with a "whooshing" sound, it stabbed into the dry corpse's brow.

  The corpse shook on the ground and made a "gurgling" sound before stopping.

  Everyone let out a sigh of relief, but Wan Kuang Jing Hou's movements were not only fast, but also extremely ruthless. The onlookers were stunned, and just then, they heard the sound of "pa, pa!" Several coffins in the tomb began to shake violently, and the nails that sealed them burst out from inside, hitting the wall of the tomb with a loud crash.

  Fang Xinran shouted loudly: "Heavens! They're all going to rise from the dead!"

  With her cry, the coffin lid made a "hum" sound and was pushed open, from which many dried skulls' hands crawled out, followed by an entire mummy crawling out of the coffin.

  Fang Xinran was so frightened that he rushed out of the tomb first and ran deep into the tomb passage.

  No one was able to stop her, Fang Xiran ran too fast, and in an instant she disappeared into the dark tomb passage.

  At this time, all the mummies had crawled out, one had already been taken care of, and there were eight left. Wen Baiyu held the Fenggu dagger in his hand, and Di Liang also took out his gun.

  Zou Chengyi was still trembling on his back, and he had already lost consciousness. Wen Baiyu was worried and said, "We must end this quickly." He said as he rushed out first.

  Di Liang's movements were not bad, and with such a big commotion, Xiao Hai woke up immediately. He slid down from Di Liang's back. Although Xiao Hai was not very brave, he was extremely agile and could also help deal with two of them.

  Di Liang shot and killed one, the other came straight from behind, Di Liang stretched out his hand to grab him and threw him away. Just as he was thrown away, he saw a dry corpse wrapped around Xiao Hai, and Xiao Hai opened his mouth to bite.

  Di Liang's forehead suddenly throbbed wildly, and he rushed over to kick open the dry corpse, saying: "Xiao Hai, you can't bite everything, do you know that?!"

  Xiao Hai blinked his eyes and said: "But my saliva is also poisonous, my poison is very severe."

  Di Liang's forehead throbbed wildly. If Xiao Hai bit the dry corpse, Di Liang felt that his pressure would be too great, and he wouldn't know how to get close to Xiao Hai in the future.

  Those desiccated corpses were ferocious, but the four of them took down two each, and with Wan Xi Jing Hou's exceptionally swift movements, they all fell in less than two minutes.

  Wen Baiyu heard Xiao Hai was going to bite a dry corpse and thought it was particularly unkind, but couldn't help wanting to laugh.

  He just smiled, and saw Wan Kuang Jing Hou's face sink as he stared at him, while Xiao Hai was staring at him with a terrified expression, his eyes wide open, and Di Liang also stared at him, his hand tightening on the gun.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt something was wrong, their reactions were really off.

  Xiaohai's eyes were fixed tightly on Wen Baiyu, his voice trembling slightly as he said: "You... your back..."

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat perplexed but didn't dare move, with something standing behind him? And also a dry corpse?

  But even if there is one more fake corpse, everyone doesn't have to look at each other with such strange eyes.

  Wen Baiyu was still puzzled, he wanted to turn his head to look at Zou Chengyi, but Zou Chengyi had already stopped moving and wasn't making any breathing sounds, it was unclear whether he had fainted or not.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly shouted, "Don't move!"

  Wen Baiyu was startled by his voice, and Wan Kuangjing's expression was too serious. He didn't know what was behind him.

  Wen Baiyu wanted to slowly take a step forward and create some distance between himself and the thing behind him, but as soon as he took a step, he saw Xiao Hai tremble slightly, then subconsciously retreat a step, his eyes still fixed tightly on himself.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat...

  No.

  Xiaohai's eyes were always looking at himself, not the things behind him. When he took a step forward, Xiaohai suddenly retreated a step back in terror.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly realized that Xiao Hai's "back" wasn't behind him...

  "Haha......"

  Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from beside his ear, and Wen Baiyu's whole body stiffened. There was no sound of breathing on his back, but Zou Chengyi, who was weak, still had breathing. Now there was still someone lying on his back, but it seemed not to be Zou Chengyi...

  On the back of Wen Baiyu, a child was lying, his eyes were blue, and he wore copper bells on his feet, just like the murals on the bronze gate, little ghosts liked to lie on people's backs.

  Wen Baiyu's hands and feet suddenly turned cold, the little ghost did not immediately attack Wen Baiyu, Wan Jingshou's expression was gloomy, holding a dagger in his hand, slowly raising it.

  At that moment, Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a gust of wind by his ear, he violently shook his shoulder, but the ghost was like it was stuck to his back and didn't get shaken off. Instead, it suddenly lowered its head and bit down on Wen Baiyu's neck.

  A sharp pain suddenly swept in, causing Wen Baiyu's mind to go "buzz" for a moment, losing consciousness for a second. Immediately afterwards, a flame burst out from her hand, and with one grab, she caught the little demon behind her back.

  The little demon's sharp teeth were still biting into Wen Baiyu's neck, and despite being scorched by the crazy flames in Wen Baiyu's palm, it refused to let go. Wen Baiyu exerted all his strength to grab at it, feeling as if the flesh on his neck was about to be bitten off, and he felt a sharp pain.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou instantly rushed over, his hand holding a dragon-scale dagger flashing in the light, stabbing straight at the little ghost's eyes.

  The little ghost was forced to let go, immediately turned over and grabbed the tomb wall with a "thud", then quickly climbed up the tomb wall.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou saw the bloodstains on Wen Bai's neck and suddenly became furious, throwing his dagger with a "whoosh" sound. The little ghost let out a sharp cry of "Haha", but the dagger had already pinned its leg, which was wearing a bell. However, the little ghost did not stop, immediately tearing off its own leg and quickly crawling forward, disappearing from sight in an instant.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand to cover the wound on Wen Bai Yu's body, and his palm made a "sizzling" sound as it was scorched.

  Wen Baiyu immediately pushed his hand away and said, "Don't move, it's poisonous."

  Wen Baiyu's neck was covered in a patch of dark, almost black blood. Although she had obviously been poisoned, apart from her rough breathing, there didn't seem to be any other serious problems.

  Wen Baiyu has Phoenix Blood, it can be said that she is immortal, after being poisoned a large amount of blood will regenerate, but the pain and discomfort are still there.

  Wen Baiyu stumbled, and Wan Jie Jing Hou stretched out his hand to catch him, supporting him as he sat down. Without even checking if there was poison on his neck, he began to bleed him. Wan Jie Jing Hou's hands were soon scorched black by the toxic blood.

  After Wen Baiyu bled, the black blood finally started to turn red slowly, and her complexion was pale due to bleeding, but there were no other problems.

  Wen Bai's head was spinning violently, his whole body felt weak and soft. Even if his blood could regenerate, losing so much blood at once would still be extremely painful.

  He struggled to get up and said: "Where is Zou Chengyi?"

  Just now, Zou Chengyi was clearly on his back, but Wen Baiyu didn't feel anything at all. Zou Chengyi was replaced by a little ghost, and he disappeared under everyone's eyelids.

  Just now a commotion, Zou Chengyi was likely taken away by the little ghost, thinking that Zou Chengyi was still in a coma, Wen Baiyu couldn't sit still.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took a glance at his watch and said, "Time is running out, I'll carry you."

  He said, with a warm white feather attached to his back, he walked out of the tomb chamber in big strides, heading deeper.

  There were bloodstains on the ground, which had been left by that little devil earlier. They continued to crawl forward, winding their way through the tomb passage, and the crowd followed the bloodstains as they walked further ahead.

  Zou Chengyi was dizzy and his whole body was trembling with pain. This time, the pain was more severe than before. Zou Chengyi knew he had been too impatient and had lost control for a moment.

  Because of worrying about the evil wind...

  Zou Chengyi didn't want to think about why he lost control, this question was too ridiculous. Yi Feng was just a mud figurine made by himself, in other words, it was a servant or slave, because his legs were inconvenient, so he pinched out a slave to help him.

  Zou Chengyi's consciousness was dull and heavy, panting heavily, he couldn't see anything anymore, at this moment his eyes were dizzy, feeling the sky spinning and the earth turning, he felt someone choking his neck, pulling him forward.

  Zou Chengyi was completely immobilized, the intense pain left him powerless throughout his body, and with his legs crippled, Zou Chengyi felt like a fish on a chopping board, about to be torn apart by unclean things at any moment, as a meal on a plate, and he was helpless.

  The force that was pulling him forward suddenly disappeared, and Zou Chengyi vaguely heard someone mutter "idiot", followed by a baby's loud wail of "hahaha". A stream of something shot out and splashed onto Zou Chengyi's face, momentarily bringing him back to consciousness. The pungent smell was of blood, or maybe something else. Even with his eyes open, Zou Chengyi couldn't see anything.

  Suddenly a pair of arms picked him up, Zou Cheng let out a startled cry and tried to struggle, but felt that this force was extremely familiar.

  "What's wrong?"

  Zou Chengyi's eyes were blind, but he struggled to open them and frantically stretched out his hands to grab.

  Zou Chengyi indeed grasped something, and the person holding him gently wiped away the bloodstains on his face.

  Zou Chengyi heard the man's voice was very low and smiled: "Young master, it's me."

  Zou Chengyi suddenly let out a breath, and a wave of heartache surged up at the same time. The pain that had been ignored earlier also struck again. He grasped Xiao Feng's hand tightly and said: "I can't see anymore! I'm all alone because of you...!"

  The man held Zou Chengyi tightly and comfortingly stroked his hair, saying: "Don't worry, young master, you will see."

  He said that, Zou Chengyi let out a bitter laugh, and suddenly felt a warm kiss on his lips. His whole body trembled, and he immediately pushed with both hands.

  The man whispered in his ear with a smile: "Young master, aren't you in pain? Don't you remember me? I'm your medicine."

  He said, and pressed down another kiss, tightly sealing Zhou Chengyi's lips. Zhou Chengyi trembled, as if he could feel a sweet aftertaste in the other person's lips and tongue, but he didn't know if it was just an illusion. Zhou Chengyi felt his pain lessen somewhat.

  Zou Chengyi suddenly took a deep breath, his hands grasped the other's neck, his body leaned in slightly, and he fiercely stuck out his tongue, rolling it into the other's mouth, carefully kissing and sucking, entwining their tongues until he was almost suffocating.

  Zou Chengyi let out a coarse, heavy breath. He couldn't see anything, and it seemed that not being able to see had somehow alleviated his mental burden. After a suffocating kiss, Zou Chengyi felt that his leg really didn't hurt anymore, but his body gradually became weak, his mind dazed, and he slowly sank into darkness.

  Before falling into darkness, Zou Chengyi still heard the wind whispering in his ear, softly saying: "Young master, if you're tired, just sleep; when you wake up, everything will be fine... how can I bear to leave you alone..."

  The voice was too soft, like a lullaby, and Zou Chengyi finally couldn't hold on, losing consciousness in an instant...

  Wen Baiyu lost too much blood and lay on the back of Wan Qi Jing Hou, feeling a bit dizzy. When he woke up, he felt that his physical strength had recovered, after all, his blood was special and his recovery ability was very good.

  "Are you awake?"

  Wen Baiyu nodded slightly, suddenly had an idea, looked down at her watch and said: "No time!"

  There's less than half an hour left, and they're still in the long tomb passage. Not only did they not find the evil wind, but Zou Chengyi is also gone!

  Wen Baiyu said: "Haven't found Zou Chengyi yet?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "There is only one path in the tomb, if Zou Chengyi didn't go back and forth, he would definitely be able to find him."

  The road has only one way, going straight in, and it's as long as a ghost hitting the wall with no end.

  Less than half an hour was left and it was no longer possible for them to get out, the only chance of survival was to find a tomb chamber, and a safe one at that, until the tide receded.

  Everyone's footsteps were quick, constantly checking their watches, when suddenly a loud "crack" was heard from the front, as if something had flashed by.

  A black shadow.

  To be exact, it was a human figure.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat as she said, "Is someone there?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Pursue."

  Everyone immediately ran forward with all their might. The figure was running very fast, it couldn't be Zou Chengyi. He looked tall and big in stature, should be a man, and absolutely not Zhang Xinran either.

  The black shadow kept running forward and suddenly disappeared. Everyone chased after it and found a tomb in front of them, but the tomb was empty.

  In the empty tomb chamber, a thin figure lay there, he was alone, and it looked very conspicuous.

  Wen Baiyu rushed over in surprise and said: "Zou Chengyi?!"
