Chapter 77: The Ancient Night Lang Country 4
"Zou Chengyi?!"
Wen Baiyu rushed over, picked up Zou Cheng and held him in her arms. Zou Cheng's face was much redder than before, perhaps the pain had already subsided, his eyes closed, breathing softly.
Wan Xi Jing Hou checked his nasal breathing and said: "Nothing's wrong, he just fell asleep."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, having walked over with tense spirits all along. Now that they relaxed, they felt weak all over and leaned against the tomb wall to sit down. There were only ten minutes left before the tide rose.
Zou Chengyi was sleeping quietly, without any reaction. Suddenly, Zou Chengyi frowned, his hands grasped randomly, and he shouted: "Yi Feng!"
He said, suddenly opening his eyes, but in front of him was a piece of darkness.
Wen Baiyu saw that he was awake, and with a mix of surprise and delight, said: "Zou Chengyi? How are you feeling? Are you injured?"
Zou Chengyi's eyes were a bit dazed, and when he opened them, Wen Baiyu saw a pair of pale blue eyeballs, which made her heart skip a beat.
Zou Chengyi rubbed his head with one hand and said: "I'm fine... where's Yi Feng?"
Wen Baiyu's face was a bit stiff, but fortunately Zou Chengyi couldn't see it. Wen Baiyu said: "Have you forgotten? We still haven't found Yi Feng."
Zou Cheng's face suddenly showed an unbelievable surprise, and he said: "Can't find him? Just now wasn't he still here?"
He said, suddenly stopped, covered his eyes with his hand, and burst out laughing, a bitter laugh escaped from his throat, saying: "Was it just my dream..."
Zou Chengyi suddenly realized that his eyes still couldn't see anything, and everything around him was pitch black. Maybe the pain had started to make him think wildly.
Zou Chengyi's body had no wounds, which they had already checked before.
"Wen Baiyu said: 'How did you suddenly disappear?'"
Zou Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. I felt like someone was strangling me as I ran forward. It hurt so much that I didn't have the strength to resist. Then... then I don't remember anything else."
"Wen Baiyu said: 'Who caught you?'"
Zou Chengyi said: "It should be a little ghost, I heard his laughter."
Wen Baiyu immediately fell silent, a little ghost grabbed Zou Chengyi and ran forward. Although the little ghost was agile, Zou Chengyi's body was much larger than the little ghost's, so even if the little ghost ran fast, it couldn't run that far.
And before they entered the tomb chamber, they saw a black shadow that ran all the way to this side. It clearly entered the tomb chamber but disappeared in an instant.
That black shadow seemed to have no malice, it just led them to see Zou Chengyi. Looking at Zou Chengyi's appearance, it seems that the black shadow saved him, but without malice, why hide and conceal?
Zou Chengyi slept for a while and his strength recovered. Di Liang took out food from his backpack to give to Zou Chengyi, but Zou Chengyi didn't have much of an appetite.
Just then, Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Listen, the tide is rising."
As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent and leaned in to listen to the sound of the tide rising. The entire tomb was underwater, this river water although not as vast as the ocean, also had its own ebb and flow, and the tides were very distinct.
It's strange to hear the sound of the tide rising in the tomb passage, a bit like a ghost crying, perhaps it's because the tomb passage is narrow and long, making what was originally a very ordinary sound somewhat eerie.
Before long, they heard a "rumbling" sound. Although they couldn't see clearly, they all felt that the outside tomb passage seemed to be moving and making some slight noise.
Wen Baiyu couldn't help but get up and walk to the entrance of the tomb, only to see that the path outside seemed much narrower than when they came, and was slowly squeezing in, closing in bit by bit.
The tide really touched the mechanism of the tomb, and the tomb wall began to move. In less than half a minute, I heard a loud "boom!" A burst of dust flew towards me, and the opposite tomb wall had already closed in, forming a natural gate that sealed the tomb chamber shut.
Zou Chengyi couldn't see anything, so he leaned in and listened carefully to the voice, saying: "What's wrong?"
Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand to push the tomb wall, feeling that it didn't move at all. He then walked back and said: "The tomb passage is blocked, we can't get out for now. There's nothing here, let's rest first."
Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced at his watch and saw that there were still about six hours until low tide.
Wan Qi Jinghou pulled out a few blankets from his backpack and handed them over, saying: "There are still six hours left, you can rest well, we can only leave after the tide recedes."
There were three blankets in total. Di Liang and Xiao Hai used one, Zou Chengyi used another, and Wen Baiyu looked at Wan Kuang Jing Hou and said: "You go to sleep too, I'll keep watch this time."
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "You were injured just now."
Wen Baiyu touched her own neck, it was completely healed, not even a mark was left, she must have been treated by Wan Jingshou while she was unconscious earlier.
Wen Baiyu said: "I'm fine now, and I slept a lot earlier, so I couldn't sleep."
Wan Jie Jing Hou walked over, hugged Wen Bai Yu, and the two lay down together. However, Wan Jie Jing Hou's physique was tall and large, while Wen Bai Yu's physique wasn't as petite as Xiao Hai's. The two of them lay on a single blanket, with Wan Jie Jing Hou's back still outside the blanket.
Wen Baiyu shifted outwards a bit, letting him lie down, and Wan Jingshou stretched out his hand to hold Wen Baiyu tightly, saying: "Just squeeze for a moment."
Wen Baiyu leaned against Wan Jingshou's chest, her eyes rolling back and forth as she swept the tomb chamber with her gaze. Wan Jingshou asked, "What are you looking at?"
Wen Baiyu said: "Let's see if there is a mechanism, that person obviously came in, but suddenly disappeared. I think there may be a mechanism in this tomb."
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Go to sleep first, there is still a long time before the tide recedes, rest first."
Wen Baiyu nodded, although he had slept before, but after all, he had lost too much blood. Now that he lay down, and with Wan Jingshou holding him, his body temperature was extremely high, and drowsiness rushed up, leaning against Wan Jingshou's chest, his eyelids fluttering rapidly.
Wan Xi Jing Hou couldn't help but laugh at his strained appearance, and reached out to pinch Wen Bai Yu's buttocks.
"Ah..."
Wen Baiyu was startled and almost jumped up, saying: "What are you doing?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "If we don't sleep, let's do something meaningful. You're not wearing underwear, are you?"
Wen Baiyu's face suddenly turned red and he said: "Get out of here quickly, I'm about to fall asleep myself, it's you who is disturbing me."
Wen Baiyu soon fell asleep, with a blanket under him. Although it was a bit hard, he couldn't be too demanding. With Wan Kuang Jinghou, the natural furnace, hugging him, he didn't feel the chill of the tomb either.
Wen Baiyu was sleeping soundly, slowly feeling a bit cold, shrugging her shoulders, and couldn't help but dazedly open her eyes. Her arm fell down and slapped the quilt, instantly becoming half awake. Then she reached out to touch beside her, only to find that there was no one there?
Wen Baiyu immediately sat up, while Di Liang beside him was still fast asleep with Xiao Hai in his arms. Although Di Liang had more physical strength, he was after all an ordinary person, and Xiao Hai had consumed too much energy, sleeping extremely soundly.
Zou Chengyi is even more unbearable, just now he was in so much pain that he almost died, the pain consumed his vitality, and it's impossible to recover from it immediately.
Wen Baiyu sat up, but none of them woke up.
Wen Baiyu's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, then lowered her head to look at her watch. It was only three hours, and there were still three hours before the tide receded. She didn't know where Wan Jingshou had gone.
The tomb is very large, but it's just that big, and it's square, and there's nothing inside, so you can see to the end at a glance.
Wen Baiyu stood up and saw a black shadow in the corner opposite him, which should be Wan Kuang Jing Hou.
Wen Baiyu quickly walked over and saw Wan Jiahao sitting alone in the corner, lowering his head and doing something unknown.
"Ten Thousand Generals Jing Marquis?"
Wen Bai crouched down and called out to him, but the other party didn't react at all.
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a bit strange. Why would he sleep in the corner of the wall instead of on the good blanket? Was this place more comfortable or something?
Wen Baiyu patted his shoulder, but Wan Jingshou didn't react at all. Wen Baiyu suddenly felt something was off and quickly reached out to shake him, only to find that the body temperature he touched was extremely high, almost scaring him to death.
Wan Baiyu was anxious and said: "Ten thousand..."
Just as he had spoken one word, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly moved, slapping his hand open and raising his head to stare at Wen Bai Yu.
Wen Baiyu was startled, and Wan Jingshou's eyes were bloodshot, as if he was about to devour someone.
Wan Xi Jing Hou gritted his teeth, and a coarse panting sound of "hēng-hēng" came from his mouth and nose. His face was ferocious and terrifying.
Wen Baiyu subconsciously took a step back, Wan Qi Jinghou's emotions became somewhat uncontrollable, and like last time, he revealed a hint of anxiety and brutality.
Wen Baiyu turned her head and took a glance at those three people, seemingly unaware, still fast asleep.
Wen Baiyu knew that once Wan Kuang Jing Hou was enraged, his destructive power would be extremely great, and he might turn into a candle dragon. According to the size of the candle dragon, this only escape room would be destroyed.
Wen Bai Yu squatted down and looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou, who was sitting in the corner of the wall, saying: "Calm down, it's actually nothing now, just bear with it a little longer and it will pass..."
He had just finished speaking, when Wan Xi Jing Hou's gaze was fixed on him, as if struggling with something, his facial expression changed rapidly, with some pain, and he reached out to grab Wen Bai Yu's arm, saying: "Bai Yu?"
Wen Baiyu saw that he was still conscious and recognized himself, immediately nodded and said: "It's me, I..."
He hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly let out an "ah" and his body fell backwards, landing on the ground with a thud. Immediately after, there was a rustling sound as something warm crawled up his leg.
Wen Baiyu looked down and saw that it was a snake tail, and Wan Kuang Jinghou's lower body had already transformed into a snake tail. Wen Baiyu was startled, but heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, only his lower body had turned into a snake tail; if he had suddenly transformed into a dragon, the tomb would have collapsed.
The snake's tail suddenly stirred up and wrapped tightly upwards with a "whoosh" sound, along the warm white feathers of Xiao Bai's small leg, wrapping around to the big leg, then pushing upwards.
"Hmm..."
Wen Baiyu suddenly took a cold breath, and the snake tail of Wan Qi Jinghou was on his crotch, with a strong heat degree, the tail was constantly rubbing against him. Wen Baiyu's face suddenly turned red, and he involuntarily opened his eyes wide, his hands grasping wildly.
Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes were still bloodshot, his head lowered to stare at Wen Bai Yu, and on his lips, neck, he imprinted one kiss after another, his mouth repeatedly calling out "Bai Yu... Bai Yu..."
Wen Baiyu was kissed by him and became extremely anxious, especially with his snake-like tail constantly rubbing against her. Wen Baiyu's face turned red as if it were about to explode, and her brain had already started to spin wildly, booming loudly. This was a grave chamber, after all, and there were three people present. Wan Jingshou suddenly went crazy, although this time the intensity of his madness seemed weaker than before, but she couldn't take it anymore.
Wen Baiyu didn't know that Dr. Wang's needle was actually used to stimulate instincts, and as the Candle Dragon, Wan Jingshou had another instinct besides emotional outbursts...
Wen Baiyu was entwined by the snake's tail, and Wan Jinhou stretched out his hand to tightly wrap around him, constantly kissing him, hastily tearing open Wen Baiyu's clothes.
Wen Baiyu didn't dare to shout out loud, lowered her voice, grasped her clothes tightly and said: "Wan Kuang Jing Hou... let's make a deal, can we go out and... and do that thing again?"
Wen Baiyu said, her voice suddenly rose a little, and she immediately covered her mouth. Wan Qi Jinghou's snake tail was extremely agile, and with a "whoosh" sound, it pulled down Wen Baiyu's pants. Wen Baiyu wasn't wearing anything inside, and the scorching hot snake tail instantly entwined itself around her skin.
Wen Baiyu dodged slightly, but Wan Jingshou's snake tail began to pierce into Wen Baiyu's crotch.
Wen Baiyu let out a loud "ah" and felt his snake tail about to squeeze in, so he immediately grabbed Wan Qi Jinghou, his voice somewhat hoarse, saying: "Don't... don't use that..."
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him, his breathing a bit heavy, his emotions seemingly more agitated, as if he hadn't heard Wen Bai Yu's words at all, his snake-like tail twitching wildly.
The snake tail of the dragon candle also had a hook thorn, Wen Baiyu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a "hiss" sound came from his throat, instantly biting his teeth tightly, followed by a warm flow from his crotch along the thigh seam, which should be blood...
Wen Baiyu's whole body was trembling violently, gasping for breath, her body began to convulse, and she tightly closed her eyes...
"White Feather..."
Warm blood flowed down from the snake's tail...
"With a 'hiss' sound, the snake tail that was wrapped around his legs suddenly disappeared. Wen Baiyu's body painfully bounced up once, and his throat quickly slid, letting out a moan."
Wan Qi Jing Hou had already transformed into a human figure, stretched out his hand to pick up Wen Bai Yu's disheveled clothes, looked at his pale face, and his lips kept trembling. He reached out and touched Wen Bai Yu's crotch, causing him to shudder violently.
Wan Kuang's heart sank instantly, he raised his hand and took a look, indeed it was blood...
Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes had already returned to their normal black color, a wave of regret swept over him, seeing Wen Bai Yu tightly closing his eyes, his heart suddenly felt like it was splitting open, and he fiercely pounded the ground.
Wen Baiyu was breathing rapidly, and Wan Jiehou hugged him, stroking his back and saying: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself..."
Wen Baiyu's chest heaved up and down several times before she slowly opened her eyes, took two deep breaths to calm herself, shook her head, and said: "It's nothing..."
Wen Baiyu saw that Wan Jingshou's face was very calm, with a hint of bitterness, as if when they first met, Wan Jingshou lowered his head, staring at the button on the ground that he had torn off, without looking at Wen Baiyu.
Wen Baiyu's heart was somewhat suffocated, he didn't like Wan Jingshou's current state. To be honest, Wen Baiyu and Wan Jingshou hadn't known each other for just one or two days, he knew that Wan Jingshou had a violent temper by nature, but Wan Jingshou had been restraining himself to be with him, all of which Wen Baiyu could see.
Wen Baiyu's expression turned slightly fierce as he suddenly reached out and pinched Wan Kuangjinghou's chin, forcing him to look at him.
Wan Qi Jing Hou was slightly surprised, Wen Bai Yu's action was like a rogue, and it looked fake.
Wen Baiyu coughed and said, "I said it's nothing serious, just a minor injury... I just bled a little."
Wen Baiyu finished speaking, and glared fiercely at Wan Kuang Jing Hou. She bit his lip hard, making it bleed, and only let go after hearing him hiss in pain.
Wen Baiyu glared with her eyes, lowered her voice and gritted her teeth: "I told you not to use that... You don't know how many reverse thorns are on that thing!"
Wan Xi Jing Hou saw that Wen Bai Yu was really fine and finally let out a sigh of relief, hugging Wen Bai Yu tightly: "Sorry, it won't happen again..."
"Don't worry, I've learned my lesson. You go crazy and don't recognize people, you have no conscience. Before, it was pinch when seeing someone, now it's pounce when seeing someone, it's simply shameless. Next time, I'll prepare a rope to tie you up."
Wan Xi Jing Hou was teased by him and said: "How is that possible? I only like you..."
He said, lowering his voice, his lips brushing against Wen Baiyu's ear, whispering: "Baiyu, I only want you."
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a current-like sensation on her back, and her mind started to explode with fireworks again. She didn't know if her face had turned red once more. She kicked Wan Jiahao's leg, but it landed on the wound below, causing her to grit her teeth in pain as if she was bleeding again.
Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him in pain and frowned, saying: "Let me take a look for you."
Wen Bai's face turned even redder as she said, "What are you staring at? Go find me a piece of clothing, they're all torn to shreds."
Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and walked over to rummage through his backpack, finding his own pants and Wen Bai Yu's clothes.
Wan Jie Jing Hou walked back again, Wen Bai Yu sat like a landlord, letting Wan Jie Jing Hou dress him.
Wen Baiyu finished dressing and looked down at Wan Jingshou, coughing once before saying, "Stop fooling around, quickly put on your pants."
Wan Qi Jing Hou casually put on his pants, the ones he had on earlier were destroyed when they turned into a snake tail, and naturally his underwear was also ruined.
Wen Baiyu suddenly sneered and just as Wan Jingshou was about to pull up his pants, Wen Baiyu suddenly reached out and slapped Wan Jingshou's buttocks, laughing and saying: "The feel is still okay, it's just a bit too hard."
Wan Xi Jing Hou tied up his pants while narrowing his eyes, then walked over and chuckled, saying: "There's something even harder, want to touch it?"
Wen Bai's face turned red instantly, like a pot exploding, and she really didn't know what Wan Qi Jing Hou's face was made of, to be able to say such shameless words with a straight face.
Wan Xi Jing Hou sat down against the wall corner, holding Wen Bai Yu and asked: "Still bleeding?"
Wen Baiyu coughed slightly and said, "It should be over by now."
"Does it still hurt?"
Wen Baiyu said: "Aren't you just talking nonsense? Let me try and see if I can mess with you!"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile on his lips, but somehow the smile didn't quite reach his eyes. His voice was cold and detached as he said, "You still want to stab me?"
Wen Bai's neck was stretched out, saying: "How can you still not allow others to think?!"
He had just finished speaking with a stern expression, when he was immediately caught by Wan Qi Jing Hou's lips. The two people suddenly breathed heavily, kissing each other, their tongues entwined, accompanied by a burst of rapid breathing sounds.
Wan Xi Jing Hou wrapped his arms around him and whispered in Wen Bai Yu's ear: "Bai Yu, it won't happen again..."
Wen Baiyu murmured "Mm-hmm", saying: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Wan Xi Jing Hou still stuck to his ear, with a hint of hoarseness and magnetism, said: "Next time let you be comfortable, okay?"
Wen Baiyu's heart suddenly surged with a fierce flame, and she bit down on Wan Kuangjinghou's earlobe, saying: "You're really something!"
Wan Xi Jing Hou touched his own earlobe, and without even looking, he knew that there was a row of tooth marks on it, and he didn't know if they had bled...
Wen Baiyu's face turned iron-green, and he walked back to lie down on the blanket. He simply shouldn't sympathize with Wan Kuang Jing Hou, it would be better to let him go crazy and die. Wen Baiyu had already admired Wan Kuang Jing Hou's serious and shameless behavior with all his might.
Wen Baiyu's voice was a bit loud just now, and Zou Chengyi immediately woke up. However, his eyes couldn't see anything, nor did he know that Wen Baiyu's face had turned red at this time. He also couldn't see that Wen Baiyu's walking posture was a bit awkward.
Poor Di Liang, he couldn't sleep soundly to begin with. As soon as he heard the noise, he woke up.Although he didn't dare open his eyes, he could clearly hear the two people's heavy breathing. With Xiao Hai in his arms, it was a miserable fate that had nothing to do with him.
Di Liang was afraid of waking up Xiao Hai, but Xiao Hai slept too dead and didn't react at all.
Wen Bai lay down with a hum, looked at her watch and saw that she could still sleep for more than two hours, then closed her eyes.
Wan Qi Jing Hou also walked over, leaned against the wall and sat down. Wen Bai Yu originally wanted him to lie down as well, but thinking of Wan Qi Jing Hou's violent behavior earlier, he felt it wasn't worth sympathizing with him, so let him continue being a rascal on his own.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou sat down against the wall, and as soon as he sat down, he immediately stood up again.
Wen Baiyu heard his rustling sound, extremely annoyed, after a while, he heard the sound of Wan Qi Jinghou knocking on the wall.
"Bang... Bang bang..."
Wen Baiyu finally opened his eyes and saw Wan Kuang Jinghou half squatting in front of the tomb wall, with one hand touching and the other knocking, but he didn't know what he was looking for.
Wen Baiyu looked at him with a serious expression, half-frowning, as if he was fully focused on finding something, and that expression was simply stunning.
Wen Baiyu couldn't help but cough and said, "What are you doing?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou turned his head and said: "The tomb wall is hollow, there should be a road behind it. I'm looking for the switch to open the door."
Wen Baiyu was startled and jumped up, and his lower body hurt again.
Wen Baiyu slowed down a bit, then walked over, squatted down and also knocked on the wall.
"The empty sound" should be what Wang Jinghou said as "empty heart".
Zou Chengyi and Di Liang themselves had already woken up. Hearing them say there was still a way, they immediately sat up as well.
The machine is definitely in the tomb chamber, and judging from the sound of the tomb wall, the space behind has not changed with the tide.
Everyone began to search separately, turning the entire tomb upside down, searching inch by inch.
After about half an hour of searching, Wen Baiyu finally found a gap on the opposite tomb wall. He immediately drew a few knives with his phoenix bone dagger and pried it open, hearing a "click" sound, the stone bricks on the tomb wall were instantly pried away.
Everyone heard the noise and gathered around, only to see that after the stone brick was pried open, it was a hollow space inside, with a large bronze bamboo tube.
There was a human face carved on the bamboo, with big eyes, a big nose and a large mouth, smiling at them. The smile seemed somewhat sinister.
Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand and grasped the bamboo tightly, twisting it with all his might. Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound was heard: "Rumble... Boom!"
The opposite tomb wall turned into a huge stone gate and slowly rose up.
Everyone looked and indeed there was a space behind the tomb wall, which was a tomb passage. There were less than two hours before low tide, but the passage had not closed, apparently this place did not have a mechanism to utilize tidal changes, it maintained a certain width.
Wen Baiyu shone her flashlight on the newly found tomb passage, which was pitch black inside and seemed particularly deep.
Everyone stopped hesitating, anyway there were still two hours before the tide receded, these two hours sitting was also in vain, immediately stood up, Wen Baiyu carried Zou Chengyi on his back and walked into the tomb passage.
Wan Xi Jing Hou walked in the front, stretched out his hand and grabbed Wen Bai Yu's hand, saying: "Can you walk?"
Wen Bai Yu gave him a glance and said: "I'm also a big shot, okay? Not so fragile."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that Wan Jieying had grasped his hand and pulled it back, causing his whole body to tense up.
Everyone heard a sound in the tomb passage, "rustle-rustle", as if something was rubbing against the ground and moving towards them.
"What ghosts?" said Wen Baiyu.
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "Those little ghosts' movements are very agile, unlike this sound."
"Zongzi?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded, seemingly also thinking it was a zongzi.
Zou Chengyi's eyes couldn't see anything in this pitch-black tomb passage, and even if he could see something, it wouldn't be of much use. His voice was exceptionally clear as he said, "I'm here."
As soon as he spoke, everyone suddenly took a deep breath with a "hiss".
"What's wrong?" said Zou Chengyi.
Xiao Hai spoke up first and said: "Uh... it's that beautiful older sister..."
He said, "No, she doesn't look good at all now."
Xiao Hai said, and also glanced at Di Liang, as if he felt that what he had just said was correct.
Di Liang felt a bit helpless, as Xiao Hai's focus kept deviating from the main topic, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or not.
Wen Baiyu said: "It's Fang Xinran!"
Zou Cheng leaned his ear sideways, without a sound, and said: "Dumplings?"
"I'm afraid it's turned into a rice ball..."
He said, and then saw Fang Xiran slowly walking over, her gait seemingly not lifting her feet, constantly scraping against the ground, her entire body covered in blood, but her face and exposed skin were intact, it was unknown where she was injured, or where the fatal wound was.
Fang Xiran's eyes were dull and her face was pale, her lips were white, she walked towards them step by step.
When he saw the crowd, his dull eyes suddenly became fierce, and then "heh heh" sneered, opening his eyes wide to stare at Xiaohai, his throat rumbling as if bubbles were about to burst out.
Fang Xiran smiled slyly and said: "Mirror..."
Wen Baiyu took a step back and said: "I don't know why, but I feel that Fang Xiran is not quite right. The dead person shouldn't have any consciousness, should she? She's not a rice dumpling."
Wan Xi Jing Hou drew the dragon scale dagger, saying: "It doesn't look like a zongzi, it's been possessed. This thing seems to be not easy to deal with, everyone be careful."
He said, suddenly letting go of Wen Baiyu's hand and rushing up.
Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a bit tense, Wan Xizong said it's not easy to deal with, so it must be a formidable zongzi. Moreover, this zongzi has consciousness and is attached to Fang Xinran's body through borrowing a corpse to return the soul, but its intentions are unknown.
Just as Wen Baiyu was worried, Wan Jie Jinghou had already rushed out quickly. Fang Xiran let out a loud roar and suddenly pounced forward. Wan Jie Jinghou jumped up, stepped on the tomb wall, ran a curved line, dodged Fang Xiran's attack, and then kicked Fang Xiran in the back with one foot.
"Ah!"
Fang Xinran let out a loud roar and was immediately kicked flying, Di Liang retreated several steps back with Xiao Hai, Wen Baiyu also backed away with Zou Chengyi, saying: "Where to kick?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou had already caught up at this time, and one foot stepped on Fang Xin Ran's back. Just as Fang Xin Ran was about to get up, he heard a "thud" and was pressed to the ground, his two arms trembling frequently, unable to get up at all.
Wen Baiyu couldn't help but wipe away a sweat, and indeed didn't know how to cherish the beauty, as Fang Xiner's chin and nose rubbed against the ground were all bruised.
Wan Ji Jing Hou's dragon-scale dagger/first shook, just pointing at Fang Xin Ran's occipital bone. At this time, Fang Xin Ran suddenly burst out laughing with a "heh heh" sound, and then heard a strange laugh, followed by a "whoosh", Fang Xin Ran's long hair suddenly rolled up, instantly becoming very long, and swiftly wrapped around Wan Ji Jing Hou's wrist.
Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat as he said, "Be careful!"
Wan Kuang Jing Hou's wrist turned, and the dragon scale dagger in his palm "swished" once. Suddenly, several "whooshing" sounds were heard, and Wan Kuang Jing Hou's long hair was cut off at once, falling to the ground in disarray.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou's left hand flicked out, and instantly a fireball flew over, hitting Fang Xin Ran with a loud crash.
Fang Xiran was smashed flying out, her long hair caught on fire, suddenly furious, then everyone heard the "haha" laughter coming from deep within the tomb passage, something was quickly crawling this way.
Xiao Hai suddenly clutched his chest and his legs went soft, almost falling to the ground. Di Liang immediately grabbed him and said: "Xiao Hai, what's wrong?"
Xiao Hai covered her chest and panted heavily, saying: "It's coming... it's coming..."
He said that, and suddenly heard a sharp "haha" laughter, a pair of blue light burst through the dark tomb passage, quickly crawling over.
Fang Xiran let out a cold laugh and said: "Since you're looking for death, I'll fulfill your wish."
She said, and the little ghost that crawled out pounced on her at once.
Wen Baiyu's eyes widened instantly, this little ghost was exactly the same as the one they saw in the underground room. Xiao Hai reacted the most to him, presumably this was the Ghost King that Fang Xiran mentioned earlier.
A delicate copper bell hung from the ankle of the little ghost, and as it climbed up, it rang out with a clear "ding-dong" sound. Zhou Chengyi's body was weak and couldn't withstand this ringing sound. At first, he covered his ears with his hands, but as the little ghost crawled closer, Zhou Chengyi became increasingly unable to bear it. Suddenly, his hands relaxed, and he fell from Wen Baiyu's shoulder, rolling onto the ground.
Wen Baiyu was startled and quickly picked up Zou Chengyi again, carrying him on his back. However, Zou Chengyi had completely lost consciousness, with barely any breath left in him.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Go first."
As he spoke, the crowd was about to rush over and run deep into the tomb passage. However, the little ghost reacted extremely quickly, chasing after them, and seemed to want to catch Little Hai, actively attacking him every time.
The crowd kept running forward, Fang Xiner's hair was all burned off, her head became black and charred, but she still chased after them, bringing that little ghost along.
Wen Baiyu remembered that Fang Xiner had said that the Gui Wang was raised by the daughter of Ye Lang Wang, and only listened to one person's words. Thinking about it this way, perhaps the one who borrowed a corpse to return to life was actually Ye Lang Wang's daughter?
Wen Baiyu thought of this and couldn't help but tremble.
They kept chasing from behind, but this wasn't a solution either. They charged forward and suddenly saw that there was something wrong with the tomb passage ahead. The floor had appeared in square grids, obviously a mechanism.
"Be careful with the machine."
Everyone was being extremely cautious, but with caution came slowness. Fang Xiran and Gui Wang had already caught up from behind.
Wen Baiyu gritted his teeth and shouted: "Get down!"
Having said that, he suddenly stepped on the brake.
Suddenly, with a "click" sound, many small holes opened on the tomb wall, followed by a "whooshing" sound, and countless crossbow arrows shot out from the small holes.
The crowd immediately fell to the ground, and Fang Xinran, who was following behind, didn't have time to fall down. Suddenly, "Ah..." a sound, his body was like a sieve, hit by countless crossbow bolts/arrows.
Fang Xiran opened her big eyes wide, blinked once, and suddenly fell to the ground.
The little ghost, being a crawling creature itself, was not injured by the crossbow arrows. However, upon seeing Fang Xineran's desperate situation, the little ghost seemed to have been startled and perhaps such creatures rely on their masters. The little ghost immediately turned around, let out a loud "Haha" cry, and then disappeared into the dark tomb passage.
The crowd suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and then heard a "plop" sound. Fang Xinran seemed to have deflated, his skin shriveling up instantly, turning into a desiccated corpse in an instant, still emitting a stench of rot...
Everyone felt a chill down their spine, was this the real Fang Xiran? This corpse is no longer usable, and who knows where the spirit that possessed it went. But for now, they were safe.
Everyone did not dare to stand up straight and crawled forward on the ground, quickly crawling over the floor of the machine room, only then daring to stand up straight.
In front of them was still the tomb path, Zou Chengyi was still in a coma, Wen Baiyu quickly put him down, touched his nose and mouth, and seemed to be even weaker. The bronze bell was extremely powerful, these people with full yuan were affected at most, but Zou Chengyi looked extremely weak.
Wan Xi Jing Hou touched his nose and then reached out to touch the pulse on his wrist, suddenly furrowing his brow and saying: "Zou Cheng Yi is not right, this extreme weakness of his is not caused by a strange illness."
Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Isn't it? Then what is it? Did Zhou Chengyi get poisoned?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "He has been drained, a large part of his essence has been lost, now his body is extremely weak."
Wen Baiyu said: "Is it what happened when we got separated back then?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Zou Chengyi is not a simple person, he obviously doesn't know his own situation, wanting to drain his essence and spirit without being aware of it, isn't something that can be done overnight."
Wen Baiyu was even more puzzled and said: "A very long time?"
Wan Qi Jinghou said: "To put it bluntly, it's like a chronic illness. You don't feel it in your daily life, but once there's a trigger, you'll start to feel the symptoms."
"What should we do now?" said Wen Baiyu.
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Can only let him rest well, his physique is biased towards yin and cold, we can't help him."
Wen Baiyu looked at Zou Chengyi's pale face and couldn't help but feel worried, but it was too late now. The strangest thing was that how did Zou Chengyi get targeted, who targeted his ability and drained his vital energy, making him so weak?
Besides, if someone wants to get rid of Zou Chengyi's abilities, why not just kill him directly? Why bother with this tedious process of draining his powers bit by bit? What is the point of all this?
Wan Xi Jing Hou took a glance at his watch and said, "We can't stop."
Wen Baiyu nodded and put Zou Chengyi on his back again. Then everyone continued walking into the tomb passage.
In front of them was a vast expanse of darkness, and the path to the grave was very long. Wen Baiyu started to feel a bit nervous and said, "Do you think this path is actually the opposite of what we're used to?"
Di Liang said in surprise: "You say that at low tide this tomb passage will close?"
Wen Baiyu said: "I'm just guessing, after all this river is not the sea, no matter how big the tide is, it can't push such a heavy tomb passage, it must be that the tide pulled the mechanism, if the mechanism is set to reverse, then the tomb passage will close during low tide."
When he said this, everyone felt that it made sense. With that, their worries came again. Everyone looked down at their watches and saw that there was still an hour and a half before the tide would recede. If that were really the case, they would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Let's go ahead and walk first, we'll find a tomb chamber in a while."
The crowd slowly moved forward, and suddenly heard a "click" sound. Wen Baiyu stopped in her tracks, and Xiao Hai said, "What's wrong?"
"Wen Baiyu said: 'Didn't you hear a sound?'"
Xiao Hai shook his head, and Di Liang didn't hear any sound either.
Suddenly there was another "click" sound, and Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly grabbed Wen Bai Yu, saying: "Be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tomb passage suddenly shook violently, and at the same time, a loud "crack" sound came from deep within the tomb passage, followed by the sudden tilt of the passage.
Di Liang shouted, "What's going on?!", the tomb passage suddenly turned into a slope, and the floor of the tomb passage was polished very smoothly. Everyone exclaimed and rolled down the tomb passage together.
Wen Baiyu felt his body unstable and fell to the ground, Zhou Chengyi flew out from behind him, rolling down the slope of the tomb path. Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhou Chengyi, who was dragged by him, quickly rolling down the tomb path.
Wen Baiyu's eyes were sharp, and with the help of the flashlight on his arm, the light rolled back and forth along the tomb passage. Suddenly, he noticed that something was reflecting light in front of them, pointing towards them - a row of sharp spikes!
Wen Baiyu grasped tightly, bunched up into a ball, and shouted loudly: "Hold on tight! There are reverse thorns ahead!"
Wen Baiyu said, one hand grasping Zou Chengyi, and the other hand fiercely scratching the ground, just hearing a "squeak" sound. The floor was too smooth, Wen Baiyu's fingernails slid down along the floor, and his fingertips were instantly split open, with a piece of bloody flesh hanging loose. The force of the fall was too great, he grabbed Zou Chengyi again, although the momentum of the roll weakened a lot, but still rolling downwards.
Just as they were rolling down, a tomb suddenly appeared beside them. Di Liang and Xiao Hai were very close to the tomb, Di Liang grabbed the door frame of the tomb, holding Xiao Hai back, and the two of them stopped on the slope, hanging in mid-air.
Wen Baiyu was in the middle of the tomb path, reaching out to grab, couldn't reach the tomb door, Xiao Hai reached out to grab him, and ripped off Wen Baiyu's sleeve with one grab.
Wen Baiyu's mind suddenly went "buzz" and she didn't care about anything else. She spread her body, transformed into a swan in an instant, grabbed Zhou Chengyi with her claws, flapped her wings quickly, and flew upwards. However, the tomb path was not wide, and after transforming into a swan, her wings were scraped by the tomb path. Wen Baiyu suddenly dived forward, threw Zhou Chengyi into the tomb chamber, and then flicked her claws to bring Di Liang and Xiao Hai into the tomb chamber as well.
Wan Qi Jing Hou at this time had already clapped his hands together, "Bang" a sound, five fingers were deeply grasped into the ground of the tomb passage. Wen Bai Yu immediately flew out of the tomb chamber again, grabbed Wan Qi Jing Hou's belt and pulled him in with one pull.
In the instant he was dragged in, Wen Baiyu immediately transformed into a human form. Because the tomb passage was too narrow, his shoulders, arms and back were all scraped raw by the passageway, and he lay on the ground panting heavily.
Wan Qi Jing Hou was thrown in, and pressed down on Wen Bai Yu's body. As he tried to get up, he saw that Wen Bai Yu was completely naked, his chest rapidly rising and falling, and his hands tightly wrapped around his own waist.
Wan Xi Jing Hou couldn't help but laugh out loud, Wen Bai Yu gave him a white eye and said: "Still laughing, take a look at me..."
He hadn't finished speaking when Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly lowered his head and licked his shoulder, Wen Bai Yu "hissed" as he inhaled sharply. There was a scrape on his shoulder that had been licked by Wan Jie Jing Hou, causing an unbearable itchiness and a tingling sensation down his back. Wan Jie Jing Hou's pants were also rubbing against his legs, but Wen Bai Yu was completely smooth all over.
Wan Qi Jing Hou stood up, quickly opened his backpack, and pulled out a piece of clothing for him to wear. Wen Bai Yu looked down and found that it was Wan Qi Jing Hou's undershirt. Wan Qi Jing Hou wore clothes that were more fitted, while he himself wore looser-fitting ones, making the shirt look like an oversized vest on him...
"Wen Baiyu said: "My clothes are gone?""
Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "If you mess it up again, there will be no clothes left."
Wen Baiyu: "......"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after narrowly escaping death. Zou Chengyi was still unconscious, while Di Liang and Xiao Hai stood up to take a look around.
This is a huge tomb chamber, with many offerings inside, looking very luxurious, and unmatched by the other few chambers.
The tomb chamber is a two-layered structure, surprisingly it's also a suite. Outside, in addition to the offerings and burial objects, there are many stone human figures, with very humble expressions, holding things, kneeling, playing musical instruments, all sorts of images.
Di Liang furrowed his brow and said: "Everyone is a woman's figure..."
Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said: "The owner of this tomb should be a woman."
They walked in and entered the inner chamber, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a huge bronze bamboo.
Everyone was shocked, such a large bronze zhu, should be a ritual vessel or sacrifice, on the bronze zhu were carved many things, including the Water Mother, methods for refining small ghosts, and carvings of the Night Lang Kingdom's wars with neighboring countries. There was also a woman dressed in luxury, surrounded by many serving maids, they seemed to be hunting, but there was no prey, in the middle of the hunting ground were inserted several zhu, on top of which were bound naked male slaves, it looked like they were being sacrificed.
The scene of sacrifice is very bloody, the Night Lang Kingdom is a slave country, and the treatment of slaves is not as good as that of livestock. The status of women in the painting is very high.
As the crowd walked past, they saw behind a huge bronze bamboo, an ice bed, the ice bed was bare in the air, emitting a faint chill, and on the bed lay a woman.
The woman's attire is exactly the same as that of the women on the bronze ritual vessels, even more exquisite and vivid than those depicted.
The woman's face is beautiful, her skin maintains a lustrous and moist complexion. She lies on the bed with her hands curled up and placed flat on her chest, her expression serene. Her age doesn't seem to be that great either, still in her prime years.
The woman's attire was elegant and luxurious, with ten silver bangles on each wrist, and a hairpin made of jade and silver adorning her head.
Wen Baiyu took a deep breath and said: "Fang... Fang Xinran?!"
This woman's appearance is at least 70% similar to Fang Xiran, except that her hair is not dyed and not permed into waves. Her jet-black hair is neatly combed into a hairstyle unique to the Night Lang Kingdom.
Everyone was also shocked and thought of Fang Xiner's strange behavior before, and hurried into the tomb, as if they knew a lot.
Wen Baiyu said: "Is Fang Xiner really a descendant of the Night Lang Kingdom? Then isn't your master also a descendant of the Night Lang Kingdom?"
Di Liang shook his head, he really didn't understand these things, and the teacher didn't let him study this aspect. Now that the teacher had been dead for so many years, and Fang Xiran had just turned into a mummy a moment ago, he didn't know who to ask about these questions.
Di Liang said: "However, looking at this scale, it should be the nobility of Yelang State, and it may even be the daughter of the King of Yelang."
Di Liang said, unable to help but sigh, "I've never seen a corpse preserved so well. Her skin even has moisture in it, and her eyelashes are still so distinct. Is it because of this bed?"
Everyone looked around and saw that this bed might have the same effect as the Phoenix Coffin stolen by Guangchang Wang from the Mozu Tomb, which could preserve a corpse without decay.
The ice bed was also piled up with many burial objects. Xiaohai shook Di Liang's hand and said, "There is something under her body..."
Xiao Hai said, pointing to his own chest again.
Everyone was shocked, could it be another mirror?
However, this corpse was preserved so well that Wen Baiyu was afraid to reach out and touch it, fearing that the corpse would be stained with blood and rise from the dead.
Wan Qi Jinghou took out a probe from his backpack, twisted two sections together, inserted one end of the probe into the back of the female corpse through the ice bed, and then gently lifted it up.
The waist of the female corpse was soon bulged, and under her clothes, a faint blue glow was revealed. Although it wasn't very bright, everyone could see clearly that it was indeed a blue mirror, exactly like the one they had seen before.
Just as the iceberg was exposed in the mirror, the female corpse that had been sleeping suddenly opened its eyes tightly.
Xiao Hai shouted "Ah" and said: "Open your eyes!"
He said, and saw a female corpse's face reveal a sly smile, then suddenly grasped the probe that General Wan Qi Jing was holding out.
With a "crack", the female corpse suddenly twisted the probe into a bend.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou's wrist suddenly turned, the probe "swish" spinning up, instantly leaving the female corpse's palm, and then the probe thrust forward, the female corpse violently flipping over.
Wan Xi Jing Hou did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but instead retracted his hand, hooked the mirror on the ice bed with a pole, and pulled it over with a "whoosh".
The mirror fell into the hands of Wan Qi Jing Hou, with a blue icy surface on the front and a raised relief carving on the back. The one that was knocked over was indeed the Water Escape Saint Mother, and it was symmetrical to the mirror in their hands, forming a yin-yang pair.
The female corpse saw Wan Qi Jing Hou holding the mirror and immediately became furious, letting out a loud "Hou hou" roar, sneering and saying: "You all come to die!"
This female corpse seems to be the one that possessed Fang Xiran's body just now, and it also has consciousness, I don't know if it's thanks to this mirror.
The female corpse stared with a pair of eyes, and rushed over to grab Wan Jie Jing Hou, but Wan Jie Jing Hou reacted extremely quickly. As the woman rushed over, Wan Jie Jing Hou had already flung his hand and thrown the mirror to Wen Bai Yu.
Then with a quick movement of both hands, he clamped down on the female corpse's arm. With a twist of his hands, there was a "crack" sound, and the female corpse let out a loud "ah". Her long fingernails scratched towards Wang Qishan's face. Wang Qishan leaned back and quickly dodged to the side. The female corpse didn't dare to entangle with him again and retreated backwards, but her arm had already been broken off.
Wen Baiyu immediately touched her arm, feeling that Wan Jingshou's movements were really too swift and decisive.
The female corpse stared with a pair of eyes, suddenly laughed, and the "haha" sound rang out again. A small ghost suddenly jumped up from the top of the grave and quickly crawled towards them, it was the Ghost King from earlier.
The Demon King's movements were extremely agile and abnormally ferocious, charging towards Wen Baiyu and pouncing on him fiercely, wanting to snatch the mirror from his hands.
Wen Baiyu dodged swiftly and pounced open, with Zou Chengyi still on his back. He was a bit less agile, so he stretched out his hand and flung out a flame.
The King of Ghosts let out a "haha" sound, but the little ghost didn't seem to be afraid of the flames. It was burned all over its body and turned black, yet it still laughed loudly with a "haha".
Wan Xi Jing Hou was about to go and help Wen Bai Yu, when he saw the female corpse suddenly pounce towards Di Liang and Xiao Hai. Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, and with a swift motion, he flung out his dragon-scale dagger, striking the little ghost's occipital bone. He then quickly rushed over to assist Di Liang and Xiao Hai.
The little ghost felt a gust of wind at the back of his head, quickly crawled open, the dragon scales knife first shook out, Wen Baiyu caught it with one hand, and then threw another fireball over.
The little demon's skin was all charred, but it still moved about with ease, as if it didn't feel a thing.
At this time, the person on Wen Baiyu's back suddenly moved, and Zou Chengyi seemed to have woken up, but he was extremely weak. He lay on Wen Baiyu's back, and every time the little ghost moved, the bells on his feet would make a piercing sound, which was undoubtedly a torture for Zou Chengyi.
Zou Chengyi weakly raised his hand and spoke intermittently into Wen Baiyu's ear: "Eyes... little ghost's eyes... are the bones of the Shen Ya tribe, not afraid of fire... dig out its eyes first..."
Zou Chengyi finished speaking and suddenly felt a heaviness in his head, as if he had lost consciousness, and fell onto Wen Baiyu's shoulder without moving.
Wen Baiyu was startled and shouted "Zou Chengyi" a couple of times, but there was no response from Zou Chengyi.
The little ghost had already quickly crawled over, and Wen Baiyu's dragon-scale dagger flashed once, then pounced forward to stab the little ghost's eyes. However, the little ghost seemed to have anticipated this, and it quickly moved its eyes, emitting a blue glow from within. The blade tip of the dragon-scale dagger was struck by the blue light, instantly forming a thin layer of ice on top, and a chill emanated from above.
The little demon kept attacking Wen Baiyu, and Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that the mirror in his hand was a hot potato.
Wen Baiyu pounced forward and rolled on the ground. Zou Chengyi, who was unconscious on his back, couldn't hold onto him and fell off in a heap.
Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and then he saw the little ghost laughing "haha" as it crawled forward. Its eyes quickly opened wide, and a pair of blue lights flashed over, causing Zou Chengyi to let out a sudden "uh" sound. The intense pain seemed to wake him up from his daze.
Zou Cheng's eyes widened, his shoulders and neck were each cut by a beam of light, his neck was only bruised, but his shoulder was pierced through, blood gushed out, and the blood that came out had some ice in it.
Wen Baiyu was startled and immediately rushed over, the little ghost climbed very quickly, seeing Wen Baiyu rushing over, "whoosh whoosh" a few times and it scurried away.
All of a sudden, there was a loud "boom" sound, a huge noise that seemed to come from nowhere, and the entire grand tomb chamber shook violently.
The female corpse and the little ghost both had a moment of stunned expression, then immediately rushed towards the tomb passage and quickly disappeared.
Wen Bai couldn't catch up, and immediately took out the hemostatic medicine from her backpack, sprinkling it on Zou Chengyi's wound, but there was too much blood, washing away all the medicine powder. The neck wound wasn't too bad, the main problem was his shoulder.
Zou Chengyi's hands hung limply, as if his shoulders couldn't muster up the strength. Wen Baiyu immediately used the dragon scale knife to make a shallow cut on her own palm, and let the blood drip onto Zou Chengyi's shoulder.
Zou Cheng let out a weak laugh and said, "The Phoenix Blood is indeed overbearing... Wen Baiyu, we are a clan of sinners, unable to withstand this blood. I'm afraid my wound hasn't even healed yet, but the pain will kill me first..."
"What's going to happen? You're bleeding too much."
Zou Cheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it'll be fine in a while. The little ghost's eyes are made of bone, they won't hurt me much, the bleeding will stop soon."
Wan Qi Jing Hou Di Liang and Xiao Hai also walked over, Di Liang's body had some bloodstains, he was scratched by the female corpse for a piece of flesh, but it seemed to be non-toxic.
"Wen Baiyu said: "Why did those two people suddenly run away?""
Everyone was puzzled, Wen Baiyu quickly took out the mirror from his backpack and grabbed the one he had just found. He pinched one in each hand and put them together, making a soft "click" sound. The two mirrors seemed to have an attractive force, or perhaps they were mutually attracted, and they stuck together instantly.
The yin and yang carvings are very symmetrical, tightly joined, the two mirrors merge into one mirror, without even a seam in between.
The mirror turned into a double-sided one. In the instant it closed, a brief blue light flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Zou Chengyi's eyes couldn't see, but he inexplicably felt a warm current flowing in. He reached out to feel the mirror and his face showed some excitement as he said, "I think I should know what this mirror is used for now."
As he spoke, his complexion also turned ruddy, his lips restored to a pale orange color, and his overall appearance improved significantly. Even the healing of his wounds accelerated.
"What's going on here?" said Wen Baiyu.
Zou Chengyi touched the mirror and said, "After my people die, our primordial spirits will condense into our bones. For some heretics, this is a great tonic. Perhaps Night King Wang uses bones to refine the eyes of small ghosts because of this. Earlier on the deserted island, we heard that female corpse say it was short two, and this mirror would soon be fully absorbed, as it contains many dead people's yin energy."
Wen Baiyu said: "What can be done after being satiated? Die and then reborn?"
Zou Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that, but it's not saturated yet. I just touched it a bit and took a breath, and the weakness from earlier felt like a dream. If it were saturated, what would you say?"
Wen Baiyu listened to Zou Chengyi's words and suddenly had a flash in her mind, with some strange feelings rising up.
"Living tomb."
Zou Cheng smiled and said, "Maybe it's possible."
Wen Bai's eyes widened in surprise and he said, "Can the disappeared Night Lang Kingdom really be revived? Will they emerge from their graves like the legendary living dead?"
As soon as Wen Baiyu thought of this, he always felt a chill on his back.
Wen Baiyu repeatedly looked at the mirror in her hand, the two mirrors were put together, but still lacked a small corner, and that fragment was naturally on Xiao Hai's chest.
Wen Baiyu said: "I didn't feel any strange power."
Zou Chengyi said: "You are the positive energy of Zhengyang, so you don't need this yin energy. All ghosts, spirits, corpses, and zombies need this yin energy."
Zou Chengyi said: "Perhaps it's the nourishment of this yin energy, so the female corpse on the isolated island and the one just now have consciousness, they are more fierce than dumplings."
Wen Baiyu nodded, this he agreed with.
Zou Chengyi's face fell in disappointment, and he said: "I thought it was the Jianmu chips that gave them consciousness. It seems I was wrong this time, it should be these two mirrors. There probably aren't any Jianmu chips in this tomb... Let's hurry up and find Yifeng, then get out of here."
Wan Xi Jing Hou took a glance at his watch, there were still half an hour left. Half an hour later was the time of the ebb tide. Even if the tomb passage here didn't close, the one they came from would open. That would be the best time to leave, otherwise when the next high tide comes, the tomb passage would shut again.
Wen Baiyu also agreed to quickly find Yi Feng and get out of this haunted place as soon as possible.
They walked out of the tomb chamber, and the previously tilted tomb passage had returned to its original state, becoming a straight tomb passage.
Everyone, having had experience, felt their way along the wall as they moved forward, not daring to relax in the slightest, for fear that the tomb passage would suddenly slope downward again.
They couldn't go far before seeing that the ground was covered with sharp thorns. This time, they didn't lean to one side and they didn't have any momentum, so they carefully took high steps and walked through the gaps between the thorns.
In front of it was a tranquil scene, with no sound at all. Not far away, another tomb chamber appeared, but this time it wasn't some high-ranking tomb chamber, instead it looked like a chaotic storage pit, without a tomb door, and from inside came a stench of rotting flesh that couldn't be described.
As I looked inside, the hairs on my body stood up in an instant. All I saw was a mountain of white bones piled up like a pyramid. Discarding corpses in this manner should be slavery.
Next to the White Bone Mountain, there are some people wearing ornaments. Slaves cannot wear ornaments, so those white bones are not slaves, but also not high-ranking people. They were tied up and made into a kneeling shape on the ground, which should be prisoners of war.
The outermost layer is a set of white bones, which have turned into skulls. Some of the bones are dry and withered, but there is armor on the ground, as well as long swords, indicating that they were soldiers.
A huge tomb chamber filled with corpses, at least nearly a thousand people.
If these people could really crawl out of their graves, the scene would be...
"There is sound."
Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly said.
A black shadow suddenly flashed by in front, and Wan Qi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, then quickly chased after it. The crowd saw this and immediately followed suit.
Wan Xi Jing Hou ran at an extremely fast speed, closely chasing after that black shadow, and quickly dashed into the dark tomb passage.
Wen Baiyu carried Zou Chengyi on her back, and their speed was a bit slow. As they watched, Wan Kuang Jinghou suddenly disappeared into the depths of the tomb passage. She couldn't help but feel anxious, just as she wanted to transform into a swan goose and rush up, she heard the sound "Hehe..."
A sound came from behind them, followed by a rustling noise, as if something was pouncing over.
Di Liang shouted "Be careful", Wen Baiyu immediately rolled on the ground.
Just then, the sound of "Hehe... Hehe... Mirror!" was heard. Turning around to look, it was actually the female corpse from the isolated island, her spirit refusing to disperse, and she had also followed them into the underground tomb.
Everyone was entwined by the female corpse, and Wan Qi Jing Hou's shadow had long since disappeared, let alone that black shadow. Wen Bai Yu suddenly became anxious and angry again. The female corpse's hands were bony, with a layer of terrifying scaly flesh on her face, and her mouth was open, revealing three rows of teeth inside. That piece of wooden debris had been swallowed by her, it was unknown whether it was still there or not.
Wen Baiyu narrowed his eyes and threw Zou Chengyi a glance, saying: "Continue!"
Di Liang hastily reached out to receive it, and saw that Wen Baiyu was holding a phoenix bone dagger in his hand, then moved his wrist and suddenly rushed up.
The female corpse's two hands grasped, and opened wide a large mouth full of flesh scales, ready to bite Wen Baiyu.
Wen Baiyu's palm landed on her shoulder, and then pinched hard. At the same time, his right hand chopped down, and a "crack" sound was heard. The female corpse tried to bite Wen Baiyu, but ended up having a sharp fang pried off by him.
The female corpse let out a loud "cuckoo" cry, spat out a mouthful of blood, and the ground was covered with teeth.
Wen Baiyu's dagger flashed in his hand as he spun it around, flinging off the blood on its tip. He took a deep breath, then suddenly sprang up and charged forward, taking the initiative to attack first.
The female corpse was furiously waving her two bony hands, Wen Baiyu jumped up and stepped on the stone wall, landing on her shoulder. The female corpse went crazy, wildly shaking her body, Wen Baiyu's legs entwined, pinning the female corpse's neck, and with a burst of strength, she twisted in mid-air, followed by a loud "thud" as both people fell to the ground. Wen Baiyu tightly locked the female corpse's neck and hands with her legs, raised the phoenix bone dagger in her hand, and said: "Let me see if Jianmu is inside your belly."
Just as the blade was about to fall, the female corpse suddenly went mad and with a fierce swing, Wen Baiyu was unprepared and was flung out. With a loud "thud", his back slammed into the tomb wall, causing many small stones to fall off the wall. His back hurt so much that it felt numb, as if all his internal organs were about to shatter.
The female corpse climbed up from the ground and ran forward quickly, seemingly wanting to escape. Di Liang grasped his gun and immediately aimed "bang bang" fired several shots.
The female corpse ran, her knee was hit just right, and she fell to the ground with a thud. She immediately got up again and quickly ran forward, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
Wen Baiyu suddenly jumped up from the ground, he wanted to chase after the female corpse, but the direction she escaped in was exactly opposite to where Wan Jinhong had disappeared.
Wen Baiyu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up."
He said, carrying Zou Chengyi on his back, and chasing in the direction of Wan Kuang Jinghou.
The crowd kept running forward, wasting a lot of time. The shadow of Wan Qi Jing Hou had long since disappeared, vanished without a trace, and there was no sound on the side. The tomb path was pitch black, leaving only their flashlight and the sound of footsteps.
Wan Jie Jing Hou chased after the black shadow, he heard Wen Bai Yu calling him, but the black shadow was just ahead, and if he hesitated for a moment, he would lose it. Wan Jie Jing Hou rushed forward, his eyes fixed on the black shadow as he was about to catch up.
That black shadow suddenly stretched out its hand and slapped the tomb passage, immediately followed by a "rumbling" sound. The tomb passage actually started rotating, and the speed was not slow. Wan Kuang Jing Hou quickly stabilized his lower plate. The black shadow suddenly turned around and threw something over with a "whooshing" sound.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou dodged and saw a black feather brush past his face.
That black shadow ran very fast, but never shook off Wan Jie Jing Hou. Wan Jie Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and suddenly charged forward, the dragon-scale dagger in his hand turned once, and a "swish" sound was heard as it slashed down.
The black shadow reacted quickly, flashing past in an instant. Just as he turned back, a burst of light suddenly appeared in the palm of Wan Kuang's hand, and a fireball flew out, hitting the black shadow's shoulder.
The black shadow suddenly plunged forward, but in an instant it rolled over, and he slapped the tomb wall twice with his hand. The tomb passage suddenly tilted backward.
The crowd followed behind, and just heard a loud noise. Something had happened in front, but everyone quickened their pace. They saw a black feather on the ground, and after walking a little further, they found the figure of Wan Qi Jing Hou.
Wen Baiyu quickly ran over, and it seemed that Wan Jingshou was not injured. He stood in front of the tilted tomb path, looking into the distance.
Wen Baiyu said: "Are you hurt?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "Lost."
Wen Baiyu let out a breath and said: "I just saw a black feather, is it from the person in the underground room?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "It should be, this person is not simple."
"Black feathers?" said Zou Chengyi.
Wen Baiyu said: "I told you last time I called, someone sent us a letter with a black feather inside. We went to the villa according to what was written in the letter and found another black feather."
Zou Cheng furrowed his brow and said: "Could it be a member of the Divine Crow's tribe?"
Wen Baiyu said: "You don't know, I know even less."
The path in front of the tomb was sloping and at a considerable angle, making it difficult for them to climb up. Suddenly, they saw Wan Qi Jing Hou feeling his way along the wall of the tomb.
"What are you looking for?"
Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Just now that black shadow was just pressing the switch on the wall."
Wen Baiyu shone her flashlight on the wall and searched for half a day before saying, "Do you see what he looks like now?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "No, but the yin energy is very strong."
"Wan Baiyu said: "Zongzi?"
Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't... He doesn't have the aura of a living person, but rather an eerie and evil aura."
"Monster?" said Wen Bai Yu in surprise.
Wan Xi Jing Hou said again: "Moreover, he is very familiar with the tomb passage here."
Di Liang said: "Are you a descendant of the Night Lang State?"
Wen Baiyu glanced at his watch and said, "The tide is about to recede. We need to hurry up or we won't be able to get out and will have to wait for the next low tide."
Everyone nodded, and they all looked for the switch on the wall. After a long search, the switch on the tomb wall was extremely small, almost seamless with other stone bricks, making it difficult to distinguish. Wen Baiyu felt that Wan Qi Jing Hou's words were right, only someone familiar with the tomb passage could do it.
Everyone found the switch and pressed it. The inclined tomb passage made a "rumbling" sound again, and slowly became a flat and straight tomb passage.
Everyone walked forward, and Wen Baiyu suddenly exclaimed: "There's light ahead!"
It's a long bright lamp...
That black shadow kept running forward, shaking off Wan Qi Jing Hou, and suddenly flashed into a tomb.
There was already someone in the tomb, a woman in white clothes, who looked 70% like Fang Xinran. It was the female corpse that had just escaped from the hospital bed.
The female corpse saw the black shadow walk in and immediately went over, saying: "Where did you go?"
The dark figure didn't speak, but walked into the tomb chamber. The huge tomb chamber was like a palace, with a stone coffin in the center and a throne behind it.
The dark figure walked over, sat down on the chair, stretched out its hand and touched its own shoulder. The female corpse also walked over, sat on the dark figure's leg and said: "Are you injured? Those people just now were really troublesome, they took away the mirror, but don't worry, the two mirrors have already merged together, this still needs to thank them, the mirror absorbed Fang Xiran's yin energy, now it only lacks one person..."
The female corpse said with an exceptionally charming smile, "I've already found the last target. What do you think of that cripple? He seems to be a descendant of the divine crow, and his body has plenty of spiritual energy, which just so happens to complement the aura of the mirror. As long as we use the mirror to drain him dry, our mission will be accomplished..."
The female corpse said, hooking her hand around the black shadow's neck and sticking to its ear, laughing and saying: "When I reclaim my country, I will be the queen, and you will not be without merit. Don't worry, although I am the ghost king's master, I know how to make the ghost king recognize a new master again. What you want, I will definitely give you, sooner or later, isn't that right?"
"Heiying suddenly laughed and said: 'Will the Gui Wang really recognize a new master? I've heard that a refined ghost only acknowledges one master.'"
The female corpse smiled and said: "Can I still cheat you? Don't worry, you can re-recognize the master. This method is recorded on a piece of skin, others can't understand it, but I can understand it. As long as the mirror eats the last person, our great achievement will be accomplished, and I will let the King of Ghosts recognize you as the master."
Heiying laughed again, suddenly stretched out his hand and wrapped it around the female corpse's slender waist. The female corpse moaned softly, fell into his arms, smiled and hooked her arm around Heiying's shoulder, about to offer him a red lip.
Heiying suddenly reached out at this time and pinched the female corpse's neck.
The female corpse suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him in terror, saying: "What are you going to do?"
"Hei Ying coldly laughed and said, 'I might as well tell you, Wen Bai Yu and the others found a piece of cowhide in the tomb of the living, with writing on it that they couldn't understand. However, just now you've already told me, it should be the method for Gui Wang to recognize his master again...'"
The female corpse's eyes widened and she said: "What do you mean?!"
The man in black suddenly stood up, his hands exerting force as he pinched the female corpse's neck and lifted her up. He narrowed his eyes and said: "Just now, I changed my mind. I really do want the Ghost King after all. It's too tiring for one person to do everything themselves, isn't it? Having a little ghost who can risk their life is not bad either... But you moved something that shouldn't be moved."
The man in black smiled coldly and continued: "Don't worry, the mirror will be full, but the last one is you."
As he spoke, with a burst of strength in one hand, there was a "crack" sound, the female corpse's eyes widened, and her head tilted down instantly.
The black shadow's eyes flashed with a momentary fury, his hands parted, and he violently pulled the female corpse's head down, throwing it to the ground. With another flick of his hand, he tossed the female corpse onto the throne, letting out a cold, sinister laugh: "We could have cooperated, but who let you want to move against him..."
Everyone who saw the Longming lamp was shocked, subconsciously thinking of the mechanism of the thousand-year-old ice, but the front Longming lamp only had a few lamps, and they were all around the entrance of the tomb.
A huge tomb chamber, larger than any of the previous ones, and as I walked in, it was a magnificent golden palace. In the center of the palace was a stone coffin, surrounded by bronze ritual vessels shaped like bamboo.
The murals in the tomb depict King Zhu and the Goddess of Hidden Waters, there is no way to refine ghosts here, otherwise it's all songs/praises of virtues.
Di Liang said: "Judging from this appearance, it should be the King of Night Lang."
He said, and then heard Xiaohai exclaim "Ah!" and point in a direction, saying: "Dry... dry corpse..."
They followed the direction of Xiaohai's finger and saw that at the deepest part of the tomb, there was a throne. On the throne lay a mummified corpse with no head, its body shriveled up and leaning against the throne. Its clothes were still intact, and on its withered arm hung ten silver bangles!
It was the female corpse they had seen before, seemingly still Night Lang Wang's daughter. In less than an hour, she had transformed from a well-preserved body that was just vying with them for attention into a desiccated corpse, and her head was gone!
Xiao Hai shouted again, then hid behind Di Liang. Next to the coffin, a head was rolling on the ground. The female corpse's head had also shrunk, her hair was disheveled, and her headdress had fallen off. There was still a bloodstain on the ground.
Xiao Hai himself lived at the bottom of the sea and had never seen anything, let alone such a bloody scene, he was suddenly scared out of his wits.
Di Liang covered his eyes and hugged Xiao Hai, saying: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Wen Bai furrowed his brow, this scene was indeed bloody. The luckiest one among them was Zou Chengyi, whose eyes were completely blind...
Zou Cheng leaned his ear to one side and said, "What's wrong?"
Wen Baiyu said: "A female corpse that looked similar to Fang Xinran had its head torn off, and the body was desiccated in such a short period of time."
Zou Chengyi was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Oh no, the mirror."
Wen Baiyu was reminded by him and immediately took out the mirror in his backpack, only to see that the mirror emitted a bright blue light, as if there was water flowing inside.
Zou Chengyi said: "The corpse energy of this zongzi is very strong, I estimate that it has been absorbed by the mirror, and now there's only one person left..."
"Wen Baiyu suddenly said: 'No, we forgot about Fang Xiran, she's also dead and has become a mummy. The mirror is already full...'"
Everyone was tense, the mirror had eaten its fill, and no one knew what would happen next. Everyone looked around cautiously, then focused their attention on the coffin in the center.
Wan Kuang Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and said: "The stone coffin has been opened."
He paused for a moment and added another sentence: "There was breathing sound."
Has it really come back to life?
There was actually a breathing sound in the stone coffin?
Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand to support himself on the stone coffin, glanced at everyone, indicated that he wanted to open the stone coffin, and then suddenly pushed open the stone lid.
"Rumble... boom——"
The lid of the stone coffin was pushed down by Wan Qi Jing Hou, and it turned out to be opened before, not sealed at all, and it was easily pushed open.
The stone coffin was opened and inside lay a man, indeed a person, because it wasn't even a corpse.
He was wearing a black coat, glasses on his face, with narrow eyes closed, even in a coma, he had an expressionless face, covered in blood, lying sideways in the coffin, with bloodstains seeping out from under the black coat, pale complexion, lips also turned white, seemingly due to excessive blood loss.
Everyone was shocked and amazed, the person in the coffin was actually the very Yifeng they were looking for!
Yi Feng was seriously injured and his breathing was extremely weak. Wen Baiyu reached in to check on him, then let out a sigh of relief and said, "He can still be saved."
Zou Chengyi couldn't see anything, but he heard everyone fall silent. "What's wrong?" he asked. "What's in the coffin?"
Wen Baiyu looked at him and said, "It's a gust of wind."
"Good heavens!"
Zou Chengyi was slightly startled, and his hands trembled as he reached into the coffin. He fumbled around and accidentally knocked off Yifeng's glasses.
At this time, the unconscious Yi Feng suddenly moved and slowly opened his eyes. Zou Chengyi said: "Yi Feng? Yi Feng..."
The wind seemed very weak, but he raised his hand and grasped Zhou Chengyi's hand, saying with great effort: "Young master, I'm here."
He finished speaking, his hand relaxed, and he fainted...
