Chapter 84: Raising Corpses 2

  Everyone followed Guan Nan's pointing direction and looked over, only to see that under the tall and sturdy willow tree, something seemed to be sticking out of the ground with one corner raised.

  "Go take a look."

  Everyone walked over there, and that willow tree was indeed very tall and large, with branches hanging down, part of it resting on the ground, a cold air came from around.

  That thing that poked its horn out of the ground turned out to be a coffin!

  A coffin was buried in the ground, but it wasn't buried deeply. The tail end was completely underground, but the head end surprisingly protruded from the surface of the earth. The entire coffin was at an angle of at least forty-five degrees, as if it had been squeezed out of the ground.

  Wen Baiyu said: "That female ghost really cheated us, there's nothing burnt here at all. Is this coffin hers? It's still intact."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow and looked at the coffin, saying: "This is a corpse-raising."

  As soon as he spoke, everyone else also furrowed their brows. Guan Nan only felt a chill in the air around her, accompanied by the cold wind of November, which made her scalp feel a bit chilly, and she couldn't help but rub her arms.

  Xue Yu took off his own coat and covered him with it.

  Guan Nan was slightly surprised, looked up at him and thought of changing into something for him. The blood marrow only had a casual V-neck shirt on, which looked cold no matter how you looked at it.

  But Guan Nan thought that saying so many words would make his tongue and teeth uncomfortable, so he only managed to squeeze out two words.

  "Thank you..."

  Xue Suo shook his head and didn't say a word.

  "Those who raise corpses usually leave the head of the coffin exposed to the ground, so that the corpse can absorb the essence of the sun and moon."

  Wen Baiyu said: "This female ghost brought us over here, what is it for?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "No matter what, she wants us to get hooked anyway."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said, "What should we do now?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou said: "Go back."

  As he spoke, he was about to walk down the mountain slope, and the crowd followed behind him walking down the mountain. At this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind from behind, "Whoosh" - it swept over.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's dragon-scale dagger "swish" suddenly came out of its sheath, pointing straight at the tip of Nü Bo's nose.

  The woman's eyes widened as she stumbled backward several steps, trembling as she gazed at them.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou slowly turned his head and said, "What is your purpose."

  The woman was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Your Honor, I really dare not deceive you, I have a grievance."

  The woman said, "I was threatened by someone. He told me to find two adults and then deceive you into coming here. He said that as long as you dig up this coffin, it would be enough. There is something underneath that the two of you are looking for."

  The woman finished speaking and raised a small red comb with both hands. In an instant, the small red comb turned into a black feather.

  Wen Baiyu was slightly surprised, black feathers, and this thing again.

  Every time it was a black feather that led them forward, Wen Baiyu felt very passive.

  "What is it that we're looking for?" said Wan Xi Jing Hou.

  The girl said: "I really don't know, that person only told me these... oh right, he also said that the two adults' medicine guide and materials are all ready, but there is no alchemy furnace, it's down here."

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but look at Wan Kuang Jinghou, that person was obviously talking about the content engraved on the candle dragon scales. They had already found the elixir of the strange snake, the soil of Huai'an country, and of course, the blood marrow flower. However, they didn't have an alchemy furnace, so the person's mention of refining equipment was probably referring to the alchemy path.

  "Who is that person?"

  The woman said: "I don't know, that person never showed his face, there was only a voice, the voice was very hoarse, I really couldn't tell who it was. He grabbed me and threatened me, if I didn't listen to him, he would use me to refine a corpse. I'm just a lonely ghost, I really couldn't resist, so I had no choice but to resort to this trick."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and took the black feather from the girl's hand, saying lightly: "Get lost."

  The woman was startled and immediately got up, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

  "Wan Baiyu said: 'Shall we go down then?'"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Let's go back first, we don't have the tools now, and if it's really refining equipment below, we didn't bring any medicinal materials either. Let's go back to get them and then come over to take a look."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, they indeed should make some preparations, otherwise they would become even more passive.

  The crowd turned their heads and walked down the mountain. Wan Qi Jing Hou raised his hand, threw out a black feather directly, and left without looking back.

  Two-day hot spring package, just stayed for one night and encountered such a troublesome thing. Wen Baiyu and Wan Qijinghou entered the room and saw that the large mirror on the dresser had been replaced. Wen Baiyu thought to herself, it must have already been signed for...

  Wen Baiyu lay on the bed and said, "You say why it's always black feathers, shouldn't black feathers represent the divine crow clan? Isn't Zou Chengyi the patriarch? If there are black feathers, they should be given to him. Why do we get them every time?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "Perhaps he wants to borrow our hands."

  Wen Baiyu was lost in thought for a moment, then Wan Jiahao said: "Do you still remember Professor Fang's underground room? He used our hands to let that ghost king go."

  Wen Baiyu said: "You've gotten to this point, and I have a question... The Gui Wang is so formidable, how did Professor Fang, an ordinary person, manage to capture it and bring it back, and even lock it in the basement?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head again and said lightly: "You're wrong, how can an ordinary person die twice?"

  "Wen Baiyu said: "You mean to say that Professor Fang is no longer an ordinary person?""

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded this time and said: "Perhaps he was an ordinary person at first, but he found something."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Like Guan Nan?"

  Wen Baiyu paused for a moment and then said: "You say Professor Fang is still alive?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "I don't rule out this possibility."

  Wen Baiyu said: "I don't know why, but Fang Xinran and the daughter of Ye Langwang look so alike, it's no longer a coincidence."

  Wen Baiyu said, and Wan Kuang Jinghou also lay on the bed, stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder, saying: "I was sitting outside all night yesterday."

  Wen Baiyu laughed and said, "Who told you to be so foolish and not come in yourself?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I'm afraid you won't be happy."

  Wen Baiyu let out a snort, turned over and covered herself with the quilt, saying: "I'm going to sleep now, wake me up at noon for lunch."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Just right, I also want to sleep, let's go together."

  He said, and then he burrowed into the quilt, stretched out his hand to hold Wen Baiyu, and his palm slipped into Wen Baiyu's clothes, rubbing back and forth on his waist.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't bear the disturbance, so he moved his waist twice, but Wan Jingshou's hand seemed to be stuck on his body. No matter how hard he tried to shake it off, he couldn't get rid of it. On the contrary, Wen Baiyu felt that this action was really embarrassing, so he simply stopped moving.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's hand was stroking his abdomen and he smiled saying: "You have muscles too."

  Wen Baiyu's feathers were stroked by his warm palm, and he felt a bit comfortable, immediately wanting to fall asleep, mumbling: "Still following you around."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's body leaned forward, rubbing against Wen Bai Yu's ear, lowering his voice, seemingly with a hint of seduction, saying: "Bai Yu, don't sleep, let's do something else..."

  The white feathers were blown by his warm breath and said: "What's wrong with you in broad daylight?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said calmly: "I see you can get emotional at any time."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu quickly rolled out of bed and said, "Don't sleep anymore, let's go soak in the hot spring, otherwise it'll be a waste."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou raised an eyebrow, thinking of Wen Bai Yu soaking in the hot spring yesterday, and couldn't help but want to smile, so he readily agreed.

  Two people got dressed and headed towards the large hot spring pool. As soon as they entered the bathroom door, they heard voices inside. It was so early, yet there were already people in there. They had thought they could have it all to themselves.

  There's someone changing clothes inside, and it seems they're still chatting. Wen Baiyu listened carefully, isn't that Guan Shan's voice? There's another person inside, but they're not speaking, at most just making a sound of "en". This pretentious tone is clearly Xue Miao.

  Guan Nan was changing his clothes while talking, he had come down from the mountain early in the morning and felt uncomfortable all over, a bit chilly, so he thought of coming to the hot spring pool for a soak, but as soon as he entered, he saw Xue Mu also came in.

  Guan Nan kissed Xue Mu strongly yesterday, but the other party didn't respond and even looked surprised, which actually hurt Guan Nan's feelings, thinking that his first love would end like this...

  Guan Nan felt more embarrassed and uneasy after seeing Xue Su again, the more normal Xue Su's expression was, the more Guan Nan felt that she had no chance, already been struck out.

  Guan Nan suppressed his disappointment and greeted him, changing clothes while making some conversation to avoid awkwardness.

  Guan Nan took off his clothes, and the movement was very fast. He had already put on a bathrobe and turned around, seemingly admiring Guan Nan's body.

  The reproduction speed of the Blood Marrow Flower is extremely fast, and in just a few days, its offspring will be born. This makes the Blood Marrow very excited, as their race may spend their entire lives searching for a suitable partner to reproduce with.

  Guan Nan's body was extremely smooth, with a hint of youthful awkwardness, his abdomen still flat, as if nothing had happened to him. He tilted his head to one side, and the blood clot saw two blood spots on his neck, which were naturally bitten by the blood clot.

  The blood clot looked at the two small blood points, like two red moles, appearing and disappearing with Guan Nan's movement of turning her head, suddenly breathing heavily, feeling a little anxious and uneasy, also didn't know why.

  Guan Nan changed clothes under pressure and soon felt that the person behind her was actually watching herself, this kind of pressure was really too great, perhaps the blood marrow was waiting for her to go out together.

  Guan Nan hastened her movements in changing clothes and rushed to take out her bathrobe, but the more she wanted to hurry, the more flustered she became, and things fell all over the floor.

  Guan Nan bent down to pick it up, and suddenly felt a dizzy feeling rushing straight to his brain. Guan Nan let out an "ahh" sound, and for a moment couldn't find his balance, and fell down with a thud.

  Blood rushed to his eyes, and with a quick movement, he grabbed him. Guan Nan almost knocked against the edge of the chair.

  Xuemu helped him up and said: "What's wrong with you?"

  Guan Nan shook his head, the dizziness he felt earlier came with a wave of fatigue and then disappeared. Guan Nan's face suddenly turned red, as Blood Jade was very close to him, supporting him, the two almost stuck together.

  Xue Mu put on a bathrobe, while Guan Nan didn't wear one. Guan Nan's skin felt the softness of that person's bathrobe and couldn't help but shiver.

  Xue Su saw that he didn't say a word, and the expression on his face was also very entangled, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart. He thought Guan Nan was suffering badly, and it would be just a few days before giving birth. The descendants of Xue Hua would also gradually absorb enough nutrients, and Guan Nan's suffering was normal. If she couldn't bear it, or if her essence was insufficient, she would be sucked dry by Xue Hua and turn into a desiccated corpse.

  Blood marrow suddenly felt some anxiety for no reason.

  Guan Nan looked at him, her heart filled with a bit of viciousness. She suddenly took a step forward. Xue Wu was preoccupied with his own thoughts and didn't have any guard up. Guan Nan pressed down on Xue Wu's shoulder, and her lips pressed against his.

  Kissed again...

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Jinhou were just about to enter when they saw this scene, Wen Baiyu immediately pulled Wan Jinhou into hiding, his heart still aching with a strong jump, saying: "My god, how many times has your apprentice done this kind of thing? I really underestimated him."

  "Who made him my disciple?" said Wan Kuang with a hint of pride.

  Xue Su was startled, and again revealed a hint of surprise. Guan Nan's two forceful kisses were both pure and chaste, but the second time he saw Xue Su's surprised expression, Guan Nan felt somewhat unresigned. He pressed down on his shoulders with both hands, clenched his fists slightly, and then suddenly stuck out his tongue, rubbing it back and forth between Xue Su's lips.

  Xue Su was even more surprised, he still remembered when he had offspring with Guan Nan, this person's resistance was so strong that he cried until he couldn't catch his breath, and yet he actually took the initiative to kiss him.

  Blood seemed to have smelled a familiar taste from Guan Nan's lips and tongue, which was the taste he had possessed before. His eyes could still catch two blood points on Guan Nan's neck side.

  Xuē Suī's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he abruptly wrapped his arms around Guān Nán's waist. This movement startled Guān Nán, who was wearing no clothes except for a swimsuit on the bottom. The two people tightly hugged each other, Xuē Suī opened his mouth, and roughly inserted his tongue into Guān Nán's mouth.

  Guan Nan immediately fell to the ground, frightened and at a loss, with Blood Jade's palm constantly stroking his body. Guan Nan kept trembling, his legs were weak, and he almost fell over.

  "Bang!" With a loud noise, Wen Baiyu heard the intense movement and couldn't help but sneak a peek, while Wan Jingshou also poked his head out to take a look.

  The intense kissing had already turned into a frenzy, with Xue Mu wrapping his arms around Guan Nan and pinning him against the wardrobe behind him. He was madly kissing Guan Nan's lips, while Guan Nan's hands trembled as they slipped inside Xue Mu's bathrobe, but he didn't dare to touch, only pressing his palms against Xue Mu's skin.

  Wen Baiyu furrowed his brow and lowered his voice, saying: "So intense? The Blood Marrow is also too shameless."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Even with integrity, one wouldn't sow seeds at first sight."

  Sowing...

  Wen Baiyu really wanted to strangle Wan Jingshou, how could he calmly say such a vulgar phrase.

  The bathroom was extremely intense, Guan Nan's brain was completely useless, and he was dazed and being held by the blood marrow, his body trembling.

  Xue Mu pinched his chin, making him turn his head to the side, and roughly kissed the side of Guan Nan's neck. Guan Nan didn't know why, but every time he was kissed on that spot, a tingling sensation would rush up, making his vision blur and almost fainting from the intense pleasure.

  Blood marrow returned to Guan Nan, which made Guan Nan's emotions surge, indicating that he seemed not to have been shaken out of the situation. Just as he was excited, a sudden severe abdominal pain struck him, and he couldn't help but let out an "ah..." sound. His legs went limp, and he almost knelt on the ground.

  Xue Su's originally rosy face suddenly turned deathly pale, and he hastily picked up Guan Nan, saying: "What's wrong?"

  Guan Nan was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, she just waved her hand and cold sweat kept dripping down.

  Wen Baiyu's first thought upon seeing this scene was that these two people were too excited, and wouldn't accidentally knock over the Xiao Xue Hua (Little Blood Jade Flower), would they?!

  Xue Su immediately scooped up Guan Nan in a horizontal hug, not even caring that his own clothes were half undone, and rushed out of the bathroom with Guan Nan in tow. As they passed by Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou, he didn't even give them a glance.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Let's go and take a look."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou thought for a moment, then nodded and went with the two people to Guan Nan's room.

  When they passed by, Guan Nan was already lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, his face still pale, but his expression had improved a lot, no longer as entangled as before, and it's estimated that the pain felt better.

  Guan Nan saw Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou arrive, he had been in severe pain just now, but only vaguely saw the two standing outside the bathroom, it turned out that nothing was wrong, suddenly his face flushed red, the good deed he did must have been seen by them.

  Guan Nan suddenly had an urge to crash and die...

  Wen Baiyu saw his awkward expression and didn't mention that matter again. "How's your body?"

  Guannan hastily shook her head and said: "I don't know what happened just now, my stomach suddenly hurt a lot, and I was dizzy, feeling weak all over... did I catch a cold?"

  Wen Baiyu felt a bit helpless, rubbing her face with her hand. Everyone knew that Guan Nan was pregnant, but Guan Nan herself didn't know. It was really unclear how to tell Guan Nan about this matter, and it should have been Xue Mu who told her.

  Guannan's body wasn't feeling well, she slept from morning till afternoon, didn't even eat lunch. After getting up, although she felt hungry, but still had no appetite at all.

  Xue Mu gave him a bottle of Zi Hua honey, and Guan Nan found that the faint floral scent was actually quite appetizing.

  Everyone stayed in the hot spring town for another night and started their return journey early next morning.

  After they returned to the small restaurant, Wan Xi Jing Hou went to prepare some equipment. He was more familiar with this as he had a lot of connections on the road and who made Grandmaster Jing's face very big?

  Wen Baiyu then packed up all the medicinal materials they had prepared, and Hou Shou heard that they were going to find Dan Lü and became particularly excited, saying: "Master, I want to go too, take me with you."

  Wen Baiyu saw that he couldn't move his legs and didn't want to bring the injured beast, the injured beast had no combat power, if they encountered danger, it would be bad, Wen Baiyu was afraid that he would get into trouble again.

  The beast saw Wen Baiyu and was speechless for a moment, then immediately said: "Master, take me with you, otherwise if we really find the dan furnace, how can we move it out? We must refine the medicine inside. I can eat freshly baked ones and help you see if it's right or not."

  Wen Baiyu was still a bit worried, the legs of the beast were already unable to move, what if something else happened?

  The beast was excited, seeing Wen Baiyu still not speaking, he came back to his senses, grabbed the collar of the snake and said: "Hurry up, hurry up, let the master take me away, I'm suffocating at home."

  The snake had no choice but to say, "Take him along with you, I can keep an eye on him. The beast has been cooped up at home for too long and is getting restless."

  The beast nodded desperately, its rabbit ears flapping back and forth, with an extremely sincere expression.

  Wen Baiyu seems to have no way out, and the beast has been hiding at home all along. Although the beast is gentle, it can't stay still, which is also pitiful for him.

  Wen Baiyu reluctantly said: "Okay, but you can't leave my line of sight, and everything must be heard by Huashe."

  The beast tugged at his ears and said: "Why listen to him? You are obviously my master, I'll listen to you, not him."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Because Hua She is more steady than you, and I'm a bit rough-minded, what if I don't take good care of you? You'd better listen to Hua She."

  The beast let out a snort and said, "I don't want to listen to him, he's untrustworthy."

  Wen Baiyu took a look and found that the beast was quarreling with the snake again. That was absolutely the beast's fault.

  "Just then, the monster continued: 'Last time, the snake said he would listen to me, but in the end, he didn't keep his promise. My legs can't move, and he actually made me move on my own...'"

  Wen Baiyu felt dizzy and couldn't move, but she could still move on her own.

  The result is that the beast continues to accuse Huashe, saying: "My waist hurts from moving, and it's very painful below. Huashe doesn't even help me a bit. Now my lower body still hurts, humph, I don't want to listen to him."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu's mind went "fuck" as she wondered how the conversation had turned into something so explicit, and that Nao Shou was actually talking about such things. Hua She was too perverted, and Wen Baiyu was now completely flustered.

  Fortunately, just as the beast was explaining the relationship between "can't move" and "move on its own", Wan Qi Jing Hou had already returned with his box.

  Wen Baiyu was overjoyed as if he had seen a lifesaver and hurriedly went to help Wan Qi Jinghou carry the box.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou was somewhat surprised, sat down, and listened to the beast's excited words: "Violent ruler, violent ruler, Master promised to take me with him."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't show much surprise and said: "Bai Yu has agreed, I have no opinion."

  Everyone packed up their things and prepared to set off early the next day to see what was hidden in that mountain bag.

  Xuemu is also considered a medicinal herb, so I'll bring it along. Xuemu didn't have any objections and said, "I can leave at any time."

  Guan Nan heard that they were going to set off, to the mountains behind Wēnquán City to see what was inside. She also heard that Xuě Mù was following them and immediately said: "Boss, Master, take me with you too."

  Wen Baiyu was a bit worried, Guan Nan's body was so weak, taking him along would be absolutely bad for him.

  Guannan continued: "I have a sixth sense, I can help you."

  Wen Bai Yu Xing said, "With your current sixth sense, it's like a horse that has already passed by..."

  Guan Nan's essence consumption was too high, all of which were absorbed by the descendants of Xue Mu Hua, so his special physical reaction also slowed down a lot, and his sixth sense also became relatively weaker.

  Xue Su furrowed his brow, thinking about Guan Nan's production period, and said: "Bring him along, he is alone here, I am worried."

  Guan Nan suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Right, right, bring me along too."

  Wen Baiyu naturally knew that Guan Nan's physical condition had been particularly poor recently, and he was especially prone to drowsiness. The feeling of vomiting had improved a lot, and his appetite had also started to increase. These were all manifestations of excessive consumption of vital energy, perhaps the delivery would be in these days.

  Wen Baiyu finally compromised. If Guan Nan really gave birth when they went out, he could hardly imagine whether Guan Nan was dead or alive.

  After a night's rest, everyone set out early the next morning and took a bus to the mountain behind Spa City.

  It was already noon when we arrived at the local place. Everyone found a small restaurant next to the hot spring town, ate something first, and then prepared to go up the mountain slope.

  Everyone walked up the mountain, just in time for noon when the sun was strong, but the mountain was covered with willow trees. Willow trees are known to have the heaviest yin energy and often grow on graves. They also have another name, "fixing soul willows", because of their strong yin energy, if a grave is surrounded by willow trees, the deceased cannot rest in peace.

  The willows on this hill are so lush and the yin energy is so heavy, how could anyone bury a coffin here.

  The coffins were as they had seen them, with the bottom buried in the earth and the head end sticking up at a 45-degree angle.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou put down his backpack, took out a shovel from inside, and prepared to start digging the soil to dig up the coffin. Huashe also came to help, holding Nao in her arms for Wen Baiyu.

  The little beast's body was very small, with two thin white arms wrapped around the neck of the warm white feathers. Two rabbit ears had already grown out, twitching back and forth as they watched the crowd dig in the dirt. The white rabbit tail also twitched back and forth, giving off a fluffy feeling that made one want to touch it.

  Guan Nan had only seen the Blood Marrow stretch out vines before, but never a beast like this. The beast was being held by the transformed snake all along the way, its voice soft and gentle, like sweet glutinous rice. Its legs seemed to be inconvenient.

  When they arrived at a deserted place, the rabbit-like creature stretched out its ears and tail. Guan Nan was even more surprised - this person was actually a rabbit?

  Guan Nan stared at the fluffy tail of the beast and wanted to reach out and grab a handful.

  Perhaps it was Guan Nan's serious stare that made the beast turn its head, and it saw Guan Nan's gaze still fixed on its tail.

  The beast with white feathers on its neck said: "Master, master, who is he?"

  Wen Baiyu had forgotten to introduce them and said: "This is a disciple of Wan Kuangying."

  The ferocious beast said in surprise: "The tyrant still has an apprentice, and he looks so tender."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Bai Yu Xing said: You little rabbit dare to say others are tender, but aren't you the most tender one?

  The sly beast chuckled and said: "He's been staring at my tail all along."

  Wen Baiyu said: "You haven't seen Guan Nan before, have you?"

  Guan Nan rubbed his nose awkwardly.

  The beast smiled and twitched its fluffy rabbit tail, saying: "You can touch it, the texture is particularly good, the snake likes to touch my tail."

  Guan Nan didn't know the relationship between the beast and the snake, but that little tail wagged back and forth, Guan Nan really reached out to touch it, and the feeling in her hand was fluffy and soft. The little tail even wagged again in Guan Nan's palm, so she casually pinched it again.

  "Ah..."

  The beast's tail twitched and it suddenly let out a low growl, Guan Nan quickly loosened his grip, thinking he had squeezed too hard.

  The snake heard the voice of the beast and immediately turned its head back, with a slightly darkened face, then walked over, and the beast immediately stretched out its hand to hug the snake.

  The snake took him from Wen Baiyu's arms and just listened to the beast hugging the snake's neck, saying: "Guan Nan touched my tail so comfortably."

  The snake's face turned even darker, and Guan Nan was startled, still not understanding what had happened.

  Wen Baiyu rubbed her face, a look of helplessness on her face. It was definitely when the Xiang Beast and the Hua Snake were doing something improper that the Hua Snake would pinch the Xiang Beast's tail, this had already become a conditioned reflex...

  Wen Baiyu really couldn't bear to look at the beast, the beast was born without a conscience, no wonder the snake was always angry, if the snake kept being so angry, it would probably die prematurely!

  The coffin has basically been dug out, and Huashe is holding onto Nao Shou without helping again.

  Guan Nan wanted to help, but was stopped by Xue Su. His body was originally weak, and Xue Su didn't want him to do physical labor.

  The crowd had already dug up the soil, and Wan Qi Jing Hou and Xue Su were about to lift the coffin, but as a result, the two of them used force to lift it up, and it was stuck, the coffin didn't move at all, not even a little bit.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou furrowed his brow, he and Xue Su's hand strength, absolutely could not lift a coffin.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down again, scooped a few times with the shovel at the soil below, dug a bit further down, and found that this coffin was actually dead, completely immobile. Its lower half was connected to a huge stone chamber, and its stone walls had been mortised to death. Even if they had the strength of giants, it would be impossible for them to lift the stone chamber out.

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "What's going on with this coffin?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow, stretched out his hand and knocked on the coffin, saying: "The coffin is empty."

  He said, using the dragon-scale dagger to pry it open, the coffin lid opened with a creak, and inside was indeed empty, without any burial objects. The bottom of the coffin was surprisingly missing, directly revealing a large pit, with stairs leading down, extending deep into darkness that seemed to have no end.

  "This is a passage?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded, and everyone put away their shovels, starting to take out flashlights and tie them to their arms.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou tied up the flashlight and crawled into the coffin, then adjusted the flashlight's aperture to make the light brighter, but not too wasteful of electricity.

  The crowd entered one after another, and Huashe hugged Nao Shou behind him.

  They crawled into the coffin and walked down along the stone steps, surrounded by a cool atmosphere, dark all around, illuminated by the faint white light of the flashlight.

  The beast on the snake's arm twisted back and forth, whispering: "Don't... don't squeeze anymore, it hurts, your grip is too strong...... hmm, so comfortable......"

  Wen Baiyu's temples throbbed with rage, and if it weren't for the blood marrow and Guan Xuan in between, she really wanted to throw her flashlight over. These two people were really enough, and the surroundings were gloomy, yet they still dared to make such a small move.

  Guan Nan's face is relatively thin, and he discovered a new continent. To his surprise, the Deceiver Beast and the Basilisk are a pair. The Deceiver Beast looks very cute, while the Basilisk has an extremely cold demeanor, giving off a scary first impression.

  The crowd walked down the stairs, which was very long. After walking for about ten minutes, they couldn't count how many steps there were anymore, nor did they know how many meters deep they had gone before the stairs finally disappeared and turned into a flat ground that stretched out in front of them.

  Wen Baiyu raised her head to look around, it was like a tomb passage, filled with yin energy, but it didn't seem like a tomb passage.

  After all, this underground building does not have a tomb gate. There are many rooms on both sides of the passage. The doors of the rooms are made of willow wood, with ancient styles but absolutely modern craftsmanship.

  If this is a tomb, it actually looks more like the interior structure of a silo.

  Wen Bai Yu looked around in surprise, thinking that this was a tomb, but unexpectedly it was an artificially built underground room.

  Who built it?

  What is it used for?

  Why make the entrance look like a coffin for keeping corpses?

  And where is the dan furnace they're looking for?

  It seemed like there were too many doubts, and Wen Baiyu was suddenly at a loss.

  This basement didn't have a single light installed, it was pitch black inside.

  They walked along the passage and soon came to the first door, a pair of willow wood doors with copper rings on them, which were double-opening in shape, but the door rings were all covered with dirt, as if no one had entered for years.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou used a dagger to lift the door ring, then hooked the door ring with the dagger and pulled it outward. The door was not locked, nor was it locked from the inside. With a creak, it slowly opened.

  Everyone was taken aback, they opened a door, and imagined what should be inside, perhaps furniture, or like Dr. Wang's tube building, with scientific instruments and experimental products laid out inside...

  But what they saw was just a piece of soil.

  The black soil is very soft and sticky, covering the entire floor without any flooring, leaving it exposed.

  The room was extremely empty, without windows, dark and devoid of light. In the black soil, a coffin was inserted at an angle of 45 degrees, with its head exposed above the ground, as if absorbing the spiritual energy of the sun and moon. The feet were submerged in the earth.

  Raising a corpse...

  Wen Baiyu suddenly remembered what Wan Jingshou had said.

  There is only one coffin in the room, and it's even for raising corpses. What is this basement used for?

  The beast hung on the python's neck, looked at the coffin and started to shiver, saying: "It's so cold, have you guys felt it..."

  The snake wrapped the beast tightly, and the beast very consciously unbuttoned the snake's coat, crawled in, hugged itself with the coat, and reached out to touch the snake's chest.

  Guan Nan also felt the chill and at the same time, a faint smell of blood wafted over. Perhaps it was because Guan Nan's physical condition was more sensitive now, she reacted strongly to the smell of blood. A surge of nausea rose up in her stomach, and she covered her mouth with her hand, immediately dry heaving.

  Everyone was shocked, Guan Nan's face turned pale, covering his nose, Xue Mu supported him and asked: "Not feeling well?"

  Guan Nan shook her head and pointed at the coffin, saying: "Blood..."

  It's Guan Nan's sixth sense, and his words haven't even finished yet, but his sixth sense has already come true...

  The coffin in the black soil at a 45-degree angle suddenly started bleeding, with blood seeping out from the gap between the lid and the body of the coffin, accompanied by a strong smell of blood.

  Blood dripped drop by drop into the black soil, and for a moment, the black soil became even more viscous. Suddenly, everyone realized that this black soil might have come from being stained red with blood time and time again, and after a long time, it turned black.

  Blood gushed out, and the smell of gore grew even stronger. Guan Nan couldn't bear it anymore, squatting on the ground with her legs going limp, her hands covering her mouth trembling, feeling dizzy as if she was about to faint.

  The beast looked at Guan Nan and said, "Is he fainting from blood loss?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu thought that the beast was fine not speaking, it looked cute and beautiful when it didn't speak, but once it spoke, it was ruined...

  "Thud...thud..."

  "Thud..."

  "Thud...thud..."

  The coffin buried in the ground suddenly started shaking, and more blood flowed out of the coffin. The lid of the coffin seemed to be jumping up and down, as if it was about to open at any moment.

  Xue Su suddenly picked up Guan Nan in his arms, Guan Nan's face turned red, wanting to struggle but had no strength.

  "Let's hurry."

  "Bang!" A loud noise, at the same time, the coffin lid was actually pushed open, and everyone only saw a blood-stained hand resting on the edge of the coffin.

  Always bloody hands without skin grasped the edge of the coffin and wanted to crawl out from inside.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou blocked the crowd and retreated, immediately exiting the gate. He stretched out his leg and kicked it, "Bang" The door closed, Wan Qi Jing Hou quickly opened his backpack, took out a small shovel from inside, inserted the handle of the shovel into the two door rings, just making a door bolt.

  Just after plugging in, I heard the sound of "Bang! Bang!" The wooden door was hit and made a loud noise, pushing outward one by one.

  Everyone went out of the door and walked quickly along the corridor. The remaining wooden doors were all made of willow wood, with two pull rings that opened outward in pairs.

  Wen Baiyu looked at these doors curiously and said, "There won't be coffins with corpses inside, will there?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It should be."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What does the master of this place want to do, what's the use of raising so many corpses?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Since ancient times, the purpose of raising corpses has been to communicate with the dead. There is also another absurd talk, many ancient emperors wanted to raise corpses, just like they excavated tombs for food and supplies, and also wanted to take away the corpses in the tombs, making them soldiers who do not consume food and supplies."

  Wen Baiyu's back felt a little numb, and the beast said: "The tyrant knows that it is more."

  The willow wood door behind was constantly "banging" and hitting, but the blood corpse inside seemed unable to run out.

  Guan Nan's situation wasn't good, and she actually fell asleep in Xuemu's arms.

  They went along the corridor, not opening any more doors, and kept going inside. Everyone's intention was to take a look first, if they found an unusual door, they would open it again; otherwise, they would encounter another bloody zongzi (a type of Chinese rice ball).

  They walked all the way in and soon saw a wooden staircase, an old-fashioned building that spiralled down, and amazingly there were even two underground floors!

  Those wooden stairs are very old and creaky when stepped on, looking very unstable.

  The crowd continued walking down, the stairs were very long, and below was a dark expanse.

  Wen Baiyu shone her flashlight downwards and suddenly saw a figure flash by. She was startled and said, "Someone's there!"

  He said, quickly running down, the beast shouted: "Master, don't go so fast, what if it's a rice dumpling!"

  He said, patting the snake, "Hurry up and follow."

  The snake walked at an unhurried pace and said, "There's still the master."

  Wan Jie Jing Hou quickly caught up, Wen Bai Yu ran very fast, but he couldn't keep up with Wan Jie Jing Hou's long legs, and three steps were taken together.

  Wen Baiyu was chasing after him, but because it was a staircase, he wasn't running too fast. The figure flashed by and continued to run downstairs. Wen Baiyu used his flashlight to shine on him, wanting to get a clear look at what the person looked like.

  It was at this moment that the person was illuminated by a flashlight, and he really lifted his head up. Wen Baiyu suddenly gasped in cold air with a "hiss", and even forgot to continue chasing after the figure.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou caught up and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu's eyes were somewhat dull and wooden as he looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou, saying: "Just now when that person lifted his head, I happened to be shining my flashlight on him, and I saw his face..."

  Wan Kui Jing Hou frowned and said: "Who is it?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Professor Fang."

  They had also thought that Professor Fang hadn't died, just like Guan Nan, although they found Guan Nan's body, but didn't know what Guan Nan had been through and was still alive.

  They found Professor Fang's body twice, the first time they buried it with their own hands, and the second time that body mysteriously disappeared. However, one thing is certain: Professor Fang was absolutely dead, but now he has appeared again in perfect condition.

  Moreover, it ran extremely fast, and in an instant, it disappeared into the darkness along the stairs. In a flash of raising her head, Wen Baiyu saw Professor Fang's face reflected in the faint white light of the flashlight, with a terrifying grin on his face that was nothing like the kind old man in the photo.

  Everyone caught up from behind, and Guan Nan had also woken up. Upon hearing that it was Professor Fang, he was suddenly shocked and said: "Impossible, I killed him with my own hands... how is this possible..."

  But as he said that, he also felt that it was impossible to continue speaking. He himself had clearly died, his corpse still on the bronze tree at the time, but now he was perfectly fine.

  Wen Baiyu said: "You and Professor Fang have a common point, that is, you both went down to the Huai'an National Mausoleum. Did you encounter something that others haven't encountered?"

  Guannan shook his head and said, "I had no contact with him at all. If it weren't for my father insisting that I go down to the grave together, I wouldn't even know him. We didn't talk along the way, he always led the team, I followed behind, and we never took any separate actions."

  Wen Baiyu listened, and it seemed like there was no useful information. Professor Fang's behavior became more and more mysterious.

  Everyone continued down the spiral staircase and arrived at the second underground floor. A look of surprise appeared on everyone's face.

  The design of the second underground floor leaves people with a sense of astonishment, as well as feelings of oppression and fear.

  The entire second floor underground is inverted, with the floor above your head and the ceiling on the ground. The doors around you are also upside down.

  And this layer is more like a tomb.

  Wen Baiyu looked around and felt very uncomfortable with this inverted tomb chamber. She didn't know why it was designed like this.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou beckoned with his hand, signaling everyone to follow him. Their purpose for coming was very clear: to find that dan furnace and refine the medicinal materials they had prepared.

  The crowd walked inside, to be exact, they were walking on the ceiling. Soon they entered the real tomb passage, with the dome itself being trampled under their feet, and the square base became the ceiling. The square base was carved with intricate patterns of rivers and mountains.

  The dome is paved with a transparent layer similar to glass. Inside the transparent layer, it's not mercury like in the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, but filled with water.

  They walked on the dome as if they were walking on ice, with a vast river flowing beneath.

  "Huh?"

  A faint sound, and there was actually something in the water. The thing swam over along the dome, quickly surrounding their feet. Two claw-like things grasped the transparent layer beneath their feet, crawling back and forth as if waiting for them to fall down so it could savor its food.

  Guan Nan had already walked down and was walking by herself when she saw something moving back and forth at her feet, and she couldn't help but move her footsteps, saying: "What is this thing?"

  Wen Baiyu looked at the thing in the water and said, "Mermaid?"

  It's indeed a mermaid, but to be precise, it's a mummified mermaid that has been resurrected as a decorative item and placed in the water to adorn this tomb.

  Merrows dragged their ugly bony tails in the water, swimming back and forth beneath them, looking up at them with greedy eyes as they walked on.

  As the crowd moved forward a little, the mummified merman also moved forward a little. The two sharp claws scraped against the transparent layer, knocking it indeterminately, wanting to shatter the transparent layer and grab its prey inside.

  Guannan covered her nose and said: "What a stinky smell."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What kind of person is the master here, what's the point of doing all this? And Professor Fang I saw earlier, could he be the master?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Nor can we rule out such a possibility. Do you still remember the basement of the villa? Professor Fang likes to collect this kind of thing."

  Everyone walked in along the dome, because it was something like glass, the shark people's corpses were constantly hitting and colliding below, everyone felt that this transparent layer was a bit unsteady, and they moved forward as if they were walking on thin ice.

  However, the dome continued to pour water, spreading over a long distance. The merman's corpse followed them all the way, and after walking for a while, they saw another black shadow in front of them. It turned out that there was more than one merman's corpse.

  Two mummies met and started tearing at each other, their tails thumping against the transparent layer with a "bang bang" sound, making everyone feel numb from the soles of their feet.

  These mermen corpses are very aggressive, biting and tearing at each other, their teeth are also sharp, and soon they will cut off their tails, making a mess in the water.

  Wen Baiyu felt nauseous just looking at it, and Guan Nan's body was already uncomfortable to begin with. She covered her mouth and immediately wanted to vomit.

  The crowd no longer lingered and continued walking inwards; this was a path of tombs, and tomb gates began to appear ahead.

  To everyone's surprise, behind the tomb door was a coffin, and that coffin was also stuck to the top of their heads.

  A coffin hanging upside down...

  This is no longer a design issue, they have indeed entered an inverted tomb.

  But why turn it upside down, is it just a quirk of the tomb owner?

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou looked around in a circle, raised his head and stared at the coffin. There was no inscription on the coffin, but there were actually small words lined up.

  Wàn Kuí Jǐnghóu lets everyone come over to take a look, is traditional Chinese characters.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Use the earth as heaven, use yin to fill yang, and use blood to nourish the corpse?"

  He finished speaking and looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou, saying: "Is it really a corpse? What is the use of the tomb owner raising so many corpses?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "Still don't know."

  They looked at the coffin, and Wan Zijun wanted to open it. Just as he stretched out his hand, a rustling sound came from the tomb passage.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou immediately withdrew his hand and said, "Someone is here."

  Everyone immediately became alert, turned off their flashlights and hid behind the tomb gate. Then they saw a black shadow flashing by quickly from afar, running rapidly towards this side.

  In the dark tomb passage, everyone turned off their flashlights again, and it was impossible to see what the newcomer looked like. They could only feel a very strong chill, and Guan Nan felt a bit cold, and actually started shivering.

  Wen Baiyu held her breath, thinking could it be Professor Fang? But just now, Professor Fang didn't have this evil aura.

  The approaching person drew near, moving extremely quickly. The Blood Marrow narrowed its eyes and suddenly a large number of vines burst out from behind it with a "whooshing" sound, sweeping past in an instant.

  The newcomer's movements seemed particularly swift, and with a quick flick to the back, they easily dodged the blood tendril's whip-like vines. The vines quivered in mid-air with a "pop" and immediately changed direction, continuing to envelop that person.

  The black shadow moved quickly, rolled on the ground and pounced over.

  Wen Baiyu fixed his eyes on him and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Yi Feng?"

  He said, and then turned on the flashlight. The light of the flashlight shone out, and that black shadow was indeed a ghostly wind. No wonder there was a kind of eerie chill earlier, it was coming from the ghostly wind's body.

  Although Chi didn't know this man, it seemed like they knew each other, so he temporarily stopped his attack. "Whoosh!" He withdrew the vines.

  Wen Baiyu looked back at Yi Feng's back, but didn't see Zhou Chengyi's shadow, and couldn't help feeling a bit strange. Yi Feng would never act alone, last time in the ancient tomb of Ye Lang Guo, Yi Feng acted alone once and even got seriously injured, Zhou Chengyi definitely wouldn't let him act alone again.

  Yi Feng's complexion seemed to have recovered, and he didn't look injured at all. However, his expression seemed a bit anxious, and upon seeing Wen Baiyu, he pushed up his glasses and said: "Mr. Wen, did you bring any medicine for injuries?"

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Wound medicine? Are you injured?'"

  "Ah, no, it's Young Master who is injured."

  Zou Chengyi also came, but he was not by Yi Feng's side.

  As for why Yi Feng and Zou Chengyi suddenly appeared here, Yi Feng didn't have time to explain. They entered the underground not long after and were attacked by Blood Baozi. Zou Chengyi was scratched and now has an infected wound.

  Yi Feng wanted to help him find some medicine for his wound, so he went down alone.

  Never expected to run into Wen Baiyu and them.

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and knew that it was definitely the Blood Glutinous Rice they had encountered earlier, which came out of the Willow Wooden Door and attacked Zou Chengyi and Xi Feng.

  Everyone followed Yi Feng back to the first floor quickly. Yi Feng temporarily settled Zou Chengyi in an empty room.

  When Xi Feng pushed the door and walked in, Zou Chengyi seemed to have woken up already. He sat up with his body tense, his eyes still blindfolded, a hint of panic on his face, but as if he had heard Xi Feng's footsteps, he regained his composure.

  Yi Feng took the warm white feather medicine and walked over, gently turning Zou Chengyi's chin to the other side, saying: "Young Master, I've kept you waiting, let me apply the medicine for you."

  Zou Chengyi didn't say a word, only pursing his lips tightly. His neck had been grabbed by the Blood Baozi and was now a mess of blood and flesh. The Blood Baozi seemed to have some kind of corpse poison, and it also carried a burning sensation. It looked like Zou Chengyi hadn't suffered any less.

  Zou Chengyi let out a "hiss" and then pursed his lips, saying: "Wen Baiyu? What are you doing here too?"

  It must have been after Zou Cheng lost his sight that he developed a good sense of hearing and also heard the footsteps of others.

  Wen Baiyu walked over and said: "Someone led us here, and there's a black feather that says what we're looking for is underneath. We came to take a look. How about you?"

  Zou Chengyi let Yi Feng apply medicine to him while saying: "Like you guys, we also received a black feather."

  He said, taking an envelope out of his pocket and handing it to Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu took it over and looked at it from front to back, but there was no writing on it. He pulled out the letter paper inside and found that there was only one line of words on it, which read: "The dan furnace is under the coffin."

  There was also a black feather inserted in the envelope.

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "What does this mean?"

  At this time, Yi Feng had already applied medicine to Zou Chengyi and simply bandaged him with gauze to prevent his wound from being touched. Then he said: "Okay, young master."

  Zou Cheng nodded slightly, as if it pulled on his wound, and he felt some pain, furrowing his brow involuntarily.

  Zou Chengyi said to Wen Baiyu: "When we came down, there was an iron shovel inserted on a door. I suppose it's your masterpiece?"

  Wen Baiyu touched his nose and said with certainty: "That must be the Blood Glutinous Rice Dumpling that got away. That's a masterpiece of Wan Qi Jing Hou."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou did not speak, he just raised an eyebrow.

  Zou Chengyi said: "You've found the snake and the earth, but have you found the flower?"

  Wen Baiyu glanced at Xue Su and said, "Found it too. Now only the alchemy furnace is left. The Nao beast has also arrived, just in time for you to be here, let's go down and find the alchemy furnace together."

  Zou Cheng nodded slightly.

  He knelt down, tidied up Zou Chengyi's clothes, and then tidied up the blanket on his legs. Zou Chengyi still looked the same, sitting in his wheelchair, wearing a ring on his hand, with a chestnut-colored head of hair, tea-colored eyes that couldn't see anything, habitually closed, pale orange lips, wearing a black Chinese tunic, looking very elegant and calm.

  Guan Nan looked curiously at Zou Chengyi's legs, the basement was very dimly lit, their flashlights were all placed on their arms and relaxed downwards, the light also shone down, the room was a bit dark, Zou Chengyi sat in a wheelchair, although he was covered with a blanket, but his legs were emitting a faint blue glow.

  Guan Nan had never seen a Divine Crow Clan before and didn't know that human legs could emit light, so he was naturally curious.

  The servant tidied him up and said: "Young master, you're done."

  The crowd walked up to the second floor, and they would inevitably pass by the transfer ladder. Suddenly, Yi Feng picked up Zou Chengyi with one hand and lifted the wheelchair with the other, quickly heading downstairs.

  Everyone got off the floor because the tomb was upside down, and the dome became the ground. Zou Chengyi's wheelchair walked on it unevenly, always tilting to one side. Zou Chengyi couldn't help but feel a little curious, so Yi Feng explained it to him and described the surroundings.

  Zou Chengyi was surprised after listening and said: "Is this raising a corpse?"

  Wen Baiyu listened outside the temple gate and said, "Have you seen this kind of thing?"

  Zou Cheng shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before, but I've heard of it. I also saw it in the divine crow clan's classics. 'Using the earth as heaven, using yin to fill yang, using blood to nourish corpses'."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Right, it's these few sentences."

  Zou Chengyi said: "Then my guess is correct."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Why does the tomb owner want to raise so many corpses?"

  Zou Cheng shook his head and said, "You're wrong. The master of this place probably only wants to raise one corpse, maybe the tomb owner himself. As for the other corpses that are raised, they're like the blood rice balls we encountered earlier - although they're being raised, once they've grown up, they can only be used as feed."

  Wen Baiyu frowned and said: "Fodder?"

  Zou Cheng nodded and said, "This is a kind of feed that absorbs the essence of heaven and earth. The big dumplings need to eat away these corpses."

  Zou Chengyi said, his eyes opened and entered, and his eyeballs emitted a faint light in the dim tomb.

  Zou Chengyi said: "There must be a big glutinous rice dumpling here, and I don't know what level it has been raised to."

  Wen Baiyu said: "These strange things, how can they be recorded in the classics of Shen Ya?"

  Zou Cheng smiled and said, "Because our lifespan is too short, it seems that nothing can stop the death of our clan members unless we find all the Jianmu fragments. However, these Jianmu fragments are things that can be encountered but not sought after, and our lives are too short, so far no one has ever found them all. Some clan members changed their minds and wanted to revive corpses, even if they were dead, as long as they could be kept alive, it was still living, so they thought of raising corpses... However, this method of raising corpses is really damaging to the yin virtue, and it consumes too much, it has already become a forbidden classic, only the clan leader of each generation can see it, in other words, it has been lost for a long time. I don't know where the master of this place got the method of raising corpses from."

  As they walked forward, everyone was talking and wondering even more after hearing Zou Chengyi's words. Zou Chengyi was the patriarch of this generation of divine crows, but there was another person constantly throwing black feathers at them. The black feathers represented the soul of the divine crow, and Wen Baiyu couldn't think of any other meaning besides that.

  But only the clan leader's classics were leaked out by someone, and this person even used the methods in the classics to raise corpses. What is his purpose? What is his goal?

  "Crack!"

  Just as everyone was moving forward, a faint sound suddenly came from behind, and everyone stopped to look back, shining their flashlights into the darkness behind them.

  "Ah..."

  Just then there was another faint sound, and General Wan Xi suddenly frowned, saying: "Not good, the dome is going to crack."

  Everyone immediately looked down and saw that there were cracks extending from the soles of their feet, accompanied by a faint "cracking" sound. It was clear that the two merman corpses had been fighting each other earlier, and their massive tails had cracked the dome.

  "Let's hurry."

  He said, pulling a handful of Wen Baiyu, and the crowd rushed forward together, running at the same time but not daring to tread heavily on the circular top, which was quite difficult.

  The crowd rushed forward, and just as they heard a loud "crash", Zhou Chengyi's wheelchair suddenly opened up from underneath. Before he could even cry out for help, his entire body fell downwards. What was frightening was that the water inside the dome wasn't actually very deep, but beneath this section there was actually a square-shaped opening, which had been sealed off with stone slabs. Zhou Chengyi's wheelchair was extremely heavy, and as it fell, it smashed through the stone slabs, revealing the opening. In an instant, Zhou Chengyi tumbled into the hole along with his wheelchair.

  He let out a loud shout and looked towards the dark deep hole, without thinking, he immediately jumped down from above.

  There was no staircase below, like a bottomless pit. Wen Baiyu immediately used his flashlight to shine down, but couldn't see the bottom and had no idea how deep it was. With a hiss of wind, he jumped down just like that.

  At the same time, the dome finally cracked open, and the water inside the dome surged out with a "whoosh" sound, pouring all into the stone cave.

  Wen Baiyu quickly pulled out the rope from his backpack, wanting to go down along the stone cave, but he had just pulled out the rope and hadn't even tied it up when Guan Shan suddenly said: "It's coming!"

  "What thing?"

  Guan Nan's face turned somewhat pale as she said, "Mermaid..."

  Merman's Corpse...

  "A slapping sound came from one side of the tomb passage, many dried merman corpses crawled over from a distance, their upper limbs were strong, crawling on the ground, the fish tail behind them slapped the ground with a "slap", jumping and crawling forward at a considerable speed."

  The beast was suddenly frightened and said: "So many! So many!"

  So many merfolk corpses are rushing over at the same time, it's absolutely impossible for them to get down from here. Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Fall back."

  The crowd began to move away from the entrance, quickly retreating backwards. The mummified merman was approaching them with a strong smell of rotting fish, bouncing towards them.

  Guan Nan felt dizzy from the pungent smell, covering her mouth and trembling all over. At the same time, she felt a cramp in her stomach, as if something was moving inside.

  With a thud, Guan Nan's legs suddenly went limp without warning, and he knelt down on the ground, his hands propping up the earth, shaking his head, seemingly somewhat dizzy.

  "What's wrong?!"

  Wen Baiyu saw him suddenly collapse to the ground, and immediately helped Guan Nan up. Guan Nan's breathing was a bit weak, his whole body kept trembling, he covered his abdomen with his hand, seemingly due to that severe pain, his face turned pale, his lips tightly pursed, and he couldn't say a word anymore.

  His face turned pale and he suddenly said: "There's no time left."

  Wen Baiyu didn't understand what was going on for a moment. Wan Kuang Jing said, "Find a flat place, Guan Nan's vitality is very weak."

  Wen Baiyu's mind buzzed for a moment, could it be that Guan Nan was going to produce? The reproductive power of the Blood Marrow Flower was very strong, this he had never heard of, but it was also too fast.

  That group of stinky mummified merfolk kept chasing after them, but didn't dare to rush up recklessly. It seemed like they were driving them back, forcing them to retreat further away from the stone cave.

  Wen Baiyu looked towards the stone cave, and he always felt that there must be something inside the stone cave. This thing made him feel a strange and ominous feeling in his heart. The group of dry corpses were obviously being raised, they were guarding this stone cave, not allowing outsiders to invade.

  The crowd retreated backward, and those dry corpses pushed them back to a certain extent, then stopped moving, as if they had given up driving them away.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou led them to a tomb chamber, where a large number of offerings were placed, looking like a place for sacrifice. On the stone wall, two ravens were carved, two huge ravens facing each other with their heads held high.

  Two-thirds of the offerings on the altar were made from the bones of the Divine Crow tribe, casting a dim blue glow over the dark chamber and emitting an aura of mystery.

  Xuemu hugged Guan Nan and rushed in, suddenly beckoning with her hand. The vines behind her quickly formed a huge bed, and Xuemu placed Guan Nan on it.

  Guan Nan lay there weakly, covered in sweat, her lips purple, and no signs of life on her face... if she hadn't been staring with her eyes open, she would have looked just like a dead person.

  The demonic beast looked at Guan Nan and said: "Is he injured? Master, give him some blood."

  Wen Bai's face looked terrible, Guan Nan's appearance was always in danger, his painful hands were spread on the ground, he couldn't even clench his fists, his throat kept rolling, his eyes were pointing, and his eyes were a bit blurry.

  Wen Baiyu wanted to say something, but he had no experience with this. Wan Kuang Jinghou pulled him back and turned his head to Xue Su: "Remember what I told you before."

  He finished speaking and pulled Wen Baiyu down to sit in a corner of the tomb chamber.

  Guan Nan was in so much pain that she had lost consciousness, her eyes wide open, her mouth slightly ajar, gasping for breath, her chest rising and falling to a very small degree, her whole body displaying a grayish white color.

  Xuě Suǐ was initially a bit flustered, he should be delighted, his offspring were about to be born, the mission of the Xuě Suǐ clan was to reproduce their descendants, they lived just to find someone who could reproduce their descendants.

  Now his descendants are about to be born, and the blood marrow feels an irrepressible fear. Guan Nan's breath is wandering, her eyes seem to be staring at him, but his shadow can't be reflected.

  Xue Mu grabbed Guan Nan's hand, his palm was icy cold, as if in an instant, Guan Nan had lost two sizes.

  Guan Nan's fingers moved slightly, as if wanting to grasp his hand tightly, but he didn't have the strength. The other hand of Xue Mu covered the back of his hand.

  Guan Nan's lips moved, as if he wanted to speak, but his voice was too small, no one could hear it, so Xue Mu leaned down and put his ear next to Guan Nan's lips.

  Guannan's voice was really too small, too weak, and Xue Mu only heard some intermittent sounds.

  Guannan said: "...... My intuition is always accurate ...... I don't know if I'm dead, can I still come back to life......"

  At the mention of blood and heart, he grasped Guan Nan's hand tightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hold on."

  Guan Nan's lips were slightly chapped and had turned a deep purple color, as if extremely dehydrated. His eyes were also unfocused, his body trembling non-stop, the sockets of his eyes felt sour, when suddenly he stretched out his hand, in the palm of which appeared a bewitching red flower. He plucked off the petals and placed them under Guan Nan's tongue.

  Guan Nan's complexion slightly improved, but soon turned pale again. The Blood Lotus in his belly continued to absorb nutrients, ready to burst out of his abdomen at any moment.

  Guan Nan took a deep breath, suddenly grasped the palm of Xue Su's hand tightly, and Xue Su looked up at him. Guan Nan's mouth was suddenly wide open, his mouth was already bleeding, all were blood, and the blood flowed down from the corner of Guan Nan's mouth.

  At the same time, Guan Nan's body bounced back quickly, and a "hiss" sound came from his throat.

  Blood marrow looked at him with some panic, only to see his abdomen start bleeding, something had pierced his abdomen and was about to drill out from the inside.

  Everyone smelled a bloody smell, Guan Nan was swept away by a severe pain, his eyes began to turn white, and his throat made a "hē——hē——" sound.

  That thing really had to drill out from Guan Nan's abdomen, and a tender green branch had already stretched out, with inverted thorns growing on the branch, and the ferocious inverted thorns were stained with Guan Nan's blood.

  Guan Nan's eyes widened as he stared at the branch, his face pale. He then closed his eyes, as if what he saw was unbearable - a flower bursting out of its own body, while it itself flowed with blood helplessly.

  Branches sprouted from the abdomen of Guan Nan, beginning to unfurl their leaves, one piece, two pieces, three pieces growing out, and then gradually even grew flower buds, bright red flower buds, with a bloody smell.

  The flower bud is small, taking Gwan Soo as soil, absorbing enough nutrients from him, and then becoming the true Blood Orchid.

  Guan Nan's abdomen was gushing with blood, his eyes widened, and he smelled a pungent and spicy smell emanating from the Blood Bone.

  Xue Yu said that there was this smell only when he got angry.

  Guan Nan's eyes were sour, and he couldn't help but shed tears. The tears at the corners of his eyes flowed down like a broken thread. He could only lie there with his whole body relaxed, the flower petals under his tongue had been crushed, and he didn't know if they were sweet or bitter. All his senses were about to disappear...

  Blood marrow looked at him, the pungent flavor all over his body became more intense, small flower buds slowly grew bigger, but still a flower bone, struggling to bloom.

  The leaves have grown to four pieces, and the Blood Orchid suddenly lets out a low growl from its throat. It grabs the branch with one hand and pulls it abruptly, pulling away the still fragile Blood Orchid flower and tossing it aside without even looking at it.

  "Hmm!"

  Guan Nan's body suddenly jerked, the branch on his abdomen was pulled off, and fresh blood spurted out. Xue Mu immediately reached out to press his wound, then plucked off his own petals and stuffed them under Guan Nan's tongue.

  Xuemu hugged him and said: "Don't close your eyes, look at me!"

  The small flower bud was pulled down, fell to the ground, without nutrient supply, the leaves quickly turned yellow and withered, the four leaves soon withered and died, the branch also broke off, leaving only a solitary red flower skeleton lying on the ground.

  Guan Nan was bleeding, but his complexion had improved a lot. Wen Baiyu couldn't bear to watch anymore and quickly ran over, cutting open her own palm, letting the blood drip onto the ground, and swiftly took out hemostatic medicine to stop Guan Nan's bleeding and bandage him.

  To be honest, the wound on his abdomen was small, but because of the Blood Coral, the bleeding was very severe. Wen Baiyu's blood dripped onto it and stopped the bleeding quickly.

  Guan Nan's Jing Yuan was damaged, and her breath was a bit unstable, but her complexion gradually became rosier, and she was no longer in danger of losing her life.

  Wen Baiyu didn't expect that Xue Su would pull away that flower bud, which was his descendant...

  Xue Su watched as Guan Nan's complexion gradually improved, his eyes no longer unfocused. He finally put down his guard and tightly hugged him, as if he didn't want to let go, feeling that if he did, Guan Nan would disappear from his sight.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou pulled Wen Bai Yu over and stopped his bleeding, then bandaged his palm.

  The beast looked at Guan Nang's abdomen and saw a bloody flower growing out of it, frightened, it crawled into the arms of Huashe, seeing that Guan Nang was fine, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  "Wooo..."

  The ears of the beast trembled slightly, as if it had heard something crying.

  "Wooo..."

  The voice was still very faint and seemed to be coming from inside the tomb. Could it be that there were zongzi inside the tomb?!

  Wan Jie Jing Hou was bandaging Wen Bai Yu's wound, but Wen Bai Yu's breathing was unstable due to Wan Jie Jing Hou's kisses. All she could hear was Wan Jie Jing Hou's heavy breathing and didn't notice the sobbing sounds.

  And Guan Nai and Xue Su were completely unaware of it on the other side.

  The ears of the beast trembled slightly and quietly pulled the snake, saying: "Ghost night cry? Something is crying."

  The snake pointed at the flower bud on the ground with its tail.

  The curious beast shook its ears and looked over, only to see a flower bone lying on the ground, its leaves and branches withered and fallen off, leaving only a small bone bud. The red bone bud trembled on the ground, as if crying.

  The curious beast patted the snake and pointed at the flower bone, indicating that the snake should go over.

  The snake knew what Xueguihua was and didn't want the Jiao beast to get close, but the Jiao beast was curious and insisted on going over, so the snake had no choice but to carry it over.

  Then I saw Huaguduo really crying on the ground, making "Woo Woo" sounds, which sounded especially pitiful.

  Flowers can actually cry!

  The beast was even more curious, and at this moment, it saw the petals of Huaguduo's flower move slightly, a petal unfolded, scaring the beast to jump, and Huashe also retreated two steps in alert.

  The petals were pushed open, and inside the flower bud, something was moving. The thing slightly stirred, pushing another petal open as well.

  The giant beast let out a loud roar and said: "Ah, it can't be that insect, right?!"

  Everyone was drawn in by his voice and looked down at the flower bud on the ground.

  At this time, the petals of Huaguduo had been pushed open three pieces, and that thing finally crawled out slowly from inside Huaguduo, making a pitiful "Wu Wu" sound, crying while crawling.

  He was just a little kid who hadn't even reached the age of being spanked yet!

  Not like a baby, but a lovely little kid, with burgundy hair that's a bit long, smooth all over, fair and tender skin, crying pitifully while crawling out of the flower petals.

  Everyone was stunned, it turned out to be a child...

  The child's fingernails were a bit long and grew extremely sharp, apart from that they looked very cute, crying pitifully, the small nose was red, after crawling out, slowly crawled towards the blood clot.

  The blood marrow was also surprised, their descendants were born as flowers, and to cultivate into a human form, they had to go through many years, just like himself, it was impossible for them to be born in the shape of a child.

  But the little kid was right in front of him, his appearance and blood marrow were extremely similar, it was a miniature version, but without the spiritual power of the blood marrow, he looked tender and cute, and especially pitiful.

  Guan Nan's breathing was slightly better, and he saw a child smaller than his palm crawling over, crying and panting. The child looked up at him, and Guan Nan was somewhat surprised.

  That little kid crawled over, bypassed the blood marrow, and climbed up the "big bed" along the vines. The blood marrow stretched out its hand to block it with some vigilance. According to reason, the offspring of the blood marrow should have been completely absorbed of nutrients before falling off from the host's body, at which time they would become adult blood marrow flowers.

  And this small Blood Core, apparently a semi-finished product, has only absorbed a small part of the nutrients and is not yet mature. It looks small in size. As for why it's human-shaped, even the Blood Core itself doesn't know.

  Blood marrow is probably innate in this child and will continue to absorb Guan Yun's essence. His complexion doesn't look very good.

  Xiao Xue Mu's face puckered up and he started crying again with a "wu wu" sound, as if accusing Xue Mu of bullying him.

  Guan Nan was cried to the point of being speechless, his body felt a bit better, so he propped himself up and sat up straight, stretching out his hand. Xiao Xue Mu Hua immediately crawled onto Guan Nan's palm, then hugged his fingers tightly and rubbed against them, making "ah... ah..." sounds with her mouth, as if calling out to him.

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback and said: "How can it be a child? Isn't it a flower?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "Perhaps Guan Nan indeed has something extraordinary about him."

  Guan Nan is fine now, and the little Blood Orchid has been born smoothly. It's so cute that it can't be described, and the position of the most adorable beast has been taken away.

  The little blood marrow flower seems to be particularly fond of the beast's ears, looking at the beast's ears, pointing with small fingers, as if wanting to grab.

  Although Guan Nan is fine now, Zou Chengyi has fallen into a big pit and they need to find him as soon as possible, they can't stay here any longer.

  Guan Nan walked with some weakness, Xue Su picked her up in his arms. Guan Nan felt this posture was a bit too embarrassing, but Xue Su said stubbornly: "You have an injury on your abdomen, carrying you on my back will make it split open."

  Guan Nan had no way out and also enjoyed the feeling of Xue Mu caring about him, so he didn't say anything else.

  The crowd came out of the tomb and saw that the mummies were still guarding the entrance, as if not allowing them to pass. As soon as they came out, they began to drive them away.

  The crowd was forced by helplessness and could only return to the tomb again.

  "What can be done about this?"

  At this time, Little Blood Bone Flower went "ah, ah!" and cried out twice, then crawled on the ground, her wine-red hair hanging down, revealing a shiny little butt, twisting and turning as she crawled forward, slapping the floor.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou walked over, stretched out his hand to touch the floor, and a stream of air flowed up from the gap in the floor, very weak, but indeed it was an airflow.

  There is nothing under the floor.

  Wan Xi Jinghou immediately took out a dagger and pried open the floorboards.

  Wen Baiyu smiled and picked up Xiao Xuemu, saying: "You're quite impressive."

  He said, brushing aside the small blood mandrake flowers that had fallen onto his hair, and it turned out to be a lovely young boy. The small blood mandrake flower looked down, seemingly a bit shy, with a red face and small short hands covering his eyes.

  Wen Baiyu was amused by him for a moment.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou pried open the floorboard and found a staircase leading down further.

  The crowd quickly walked away, Xiaoxue Hua remained in Guan Nan's arms, holding his fingers. They didn't walk far before Xiaoxue Hua cried out "ah ah" twice and waved her small hand forward.

  Wen Baiyu looked forward and saw that the third floor underground had restored the layout of Tongzi Building, with one room's door half open.

  Wen Baiyu pushed open the door, and a rotten smell rushed out, making everyone cough and hurriedly cover their mouths and noses.

  After the stench had dissipated, the crowd walked in and saw a person lying on the ground. He was lying on his back with his face to the crowd, not very tall, wearing a black Chinese tunic.

  Wen Bai's heart skipped a beat as she immediately ran over, stretched out her hand to hug the person, but found that their body was icy cold and had already stiffened.

  It's Zou Chengyi!

  Zou Chengyi lay on the ground, his complexion pale and grayish white, his lips purple, his body cold and stiff.

  Wen Baiyu's hand trembled slightly as she reached out and gently touched his nose.

  I'm exhausted...

  Wen Baiyu's hand trembled slightly, then went to touch Zou Chengyi's neck again. His body was icy cold, his skin had lost its elasticity, and there wasn't a single pulse.

  A buzzing sound suddenly appeared in Wen Baiyu's mind.

  "...Dead?"
