Chapter 87 Bronze Cauldron 2

  The wrist of Wen Bai's white feather was grasped by a desiccated hand with black hair!

  They had seen black-haired or hairy zongzi before, but Wen Baiyu had never seen such long hair. Those hairs were no longer downy, a bit like feathers, but not as hard as feathers.

  Wen Baiyu quickly shook his feet twice, but the black-haired hand was very powerful and tightly grasped Wen Baiyu's ankle without letting go.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou felt his movement and immediately lowered his head to look, the dragon-scale dagger in his hand "pa!" A sound was made, and it happened to be stuck on the dry corpse's hand.

  The corpse didn't know how to dodge, and was immediately struck by the dragon scale dagger. Suddenly, it loosened its grip, and Wan Jinhao pulled Wen Baiyu back two steps. Soon, others nearby also discovered the commotion and turned their attention this way, instantly shouting loudly.

  "There's zongzi!!"

  "We have zongzi here too!!"

  "Fire!"

  There were many people in the cave, and the chaos was still going on. Deep inside, the sound of gunfire echoed, reverberating through the cave. The cave began to shake slightly from the shock of the gunfire, and scattered rocks fell from above with a "crackling" sound.

  Wen Baiyu said: "The mountain cave itself is collapsing and can't be opened again!"

  As his voice faded away, the depths of the cave in front of them suddenly fell silent. The black-haired mummy's hand that was beside them also disappeared, leaving behind a pool of dark green liquid. The dragon-scale dagger remained stuck in the ground.

  The gunfire in front disappeared, everything was quiet, and no one shouted to open fire anymore. The cave dropped a lot of small stones, but it didn't collapse again in the end.

  Mo Yang squeezed up from behind and rushed towards the depths of the cave, running halfway when he saw Liu San, who had a gunshot wound on his body, paralyzed on the ground, with blood all over his chest.

  Mo Yang quickly squatted down, gave him a check on his wound, and had people carry him out of the cave.

  Wen Baiyu took a look at Liu San, who only had a gunshot wound on his arm. The blood on his chest was probably splattered there. He looked like he had been frightened out of his wits and was somewhat disoriented, but he wasn't in any danger of losing his life.

  Mo Yang took out two long wooden signs from the pocket of his coat, pinched them between his middle finger and thumb, and quickly walked towards the depths of the mountain cave.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the wooden sign in Mo Yang's hand with a puzzled expression. Wan Qi Jing Hou said, "It's made of peach wood."

  Peach wood can ward off evil spirits, this is what everyone acknowledges. But are these two slender peach wood signs Mo Yang's weapon?

  Xue Bai and Zi Che escorted the people out of the cave, while Mo Yang led the way into the depths of the cave, followed by Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou.

  The deeper they went, the more they could smell a strong bloody/fishy smell. This feeling made all three of them frown, and they didn't know how many black-haired zombies they had encountered, but the losses must have been severe.

  Mo Yang's flashlight beam wasn't very large, shining directly on the ground. Suddenly, he took a deep breath, clearly stunned for a moment. Wen Baiyu rushed up from behind and peeked out to see that the ground was littered with corpses everywhere.

  It wasn't Hei/Mao Zongzi's corpse, but rather Mo Yang's teammate. In the not-so-large cave, there were five or six corpses scattered all over the place, stacked on top of each other.

  But as I looked around, there wasn't a single dead body of a black/haired zongzi.

  Mo Yang rushed over to check the bodies, which were still warm and bleeding profusely. They were all Mo Yang's people, more than half of whom had died in the previous battle.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou furrowed his brow and said: "All are gunshot wounds."

  He said, also squatting down to carefully examine, all the people were shot, except for gunshot wounds, there were no other external injuries. From the color of the bleeding, it was not poisoning either.

  The cause of these people's deaths is likely to be mutual slaughter...

  Wen Baiyu suddenly shouted: "Hey you guys come over here, there's something alive!"

  As soon as he spoke, Mo Yang and Wan Qi Jing Hou rushed over immediately. They saw Wen Bai Yu moving a corpse away, revealing the person underneath. The man's face was pale, obviously having suffered extreme fright. His swollen lips were trembling non-stop, his eyes kept rolling back, looking like he could die at any moment.

  It's Hamster.

  Haozi leaned against the corner of the stone cave, covered with corpses, and kept trembling, mumbling incoherently: "Ghost... so many ghosts... there are ghosts... don't kill me..."

  Mo Yang helped Hao Zhu up. Hao Zhu was out of it and his left leg was slightly injured, but not seriously, just a scrape.

  Mo Yang supported Haozi to take him out, but Haozi kept saying that there were ghosts, pointing at the wall of the stone cave and saying: "There are ghosts! There are ghosts! There are ghosts over there!"

  Wen Baiyu turned his head to look, and the wall of the stone cave was actually nothing, just because of the collapse, a large stone hung down, just stuck there, illuminated by the flashlight, it was just a dark shadow, how could it be a ghost.

  Haozi shouted desperately: "It's a ghost! It's a ghost!! It really is a ghost! Don't kill me!"

  His emotions became more and more agitated as he grew older, Mo Yang was taller than him, carrying an injured person, but suddenly started to struggle, Hao Zi's struggling intensity was too great, shouting non-stop, suddenly pointing at Mo Yang, saying: "Ghost!!!! You're also a ghost!!!"

  Haozi said, suddenly touched his own pocket, Moyang's eyes drooped, and saw something quickly pressed against himself, it was a gun!

  Haozi couldn't tell humans and ghosts apart, and was about to shoot at Moyang. Moyang stretched out his hand and twisted Haozi's wrist, quickly lifting it upwards. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, "Bang!" The bullet hit the top of the cave, and immediately, a loud rumbling sound was heard, "Rumble!" Many rocks and soil came pouring down.

  A slightly larger stone fell down and hit Haozi's head, causing a lot of blood to flow out instantly, knocking him unconscious.

  Mo Yang picked up a handful of dust from the ground and put it on his back, saying: "Let's take a look if there are any survivors, we'll go out first."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, and he and Wan Qi Jinghou searched around separately, but unfortunately, no one was alive. These people had been seriously shot, and each person had not only one gunshot wound, but several wounds, some of which were like beehives. Their faces were full of fear, and if they weren't covered in blood, Wen Baiyu would have thought they died from fright.

  Three people came out of the cave and were immediately met by someone who came to receive them, and Haozi was also carried over.

  Mo Yang asked: "How is Liu San?"

  He said: "Don't worry, Master Uncle, it's all right now, the bleeding has stopped."

  Mo Yang said: "Take stock of the number of people, how many are missing."

  The sky outside was getting dark, and some people behind were also injured. Everyone helped to set up the tent and then let the wounded lie down, in a mess.

  The little cart came over and said, "Are you guys okay?"

  Wen Baiyu shook his head and said, "Nothing's wrong, but this cave is a bit eerie."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou recounted what they saw in the cave, and Zi Che Huo raised an eyebrow, saying: "Mutual slaughter?"

  Wen Baiwu said: "Moreover, Haozi's mind is unclear, I think they may have seen some hallucinations, and these hallucinations are very frightening, so they shot at their companions."

  Xue Bai's team of four were all there. Mo Yang quickly walked over and communicated with them, saying: "Adding the ones in the cave, we are still short of four people."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Less? Did he run away after running out of the cave?"

  Mo Yang said: "It's unlikely, this is a remote mountainous area, where can you run to escape? Are you going to walk to the city on foot?"

  He said, paused for a moment, and then said: "I suspect there is still a way inside the cave."

  Wen Baiyu thought back and realized that at the time, the cave was too chaotic, with so many dead bodies, they didn't even notice if there were any other paths inside.

  But now that I think about it carefully, if there was no road, where did those black/haired zongzi come from? Could they have come out of the forest and into the mountain cave? The first people to discover them were definitely from inside.

  Mo Yang thought for a moment and said, "We've lost four people, and there's a possibility they're still alive. I'm going to take some people into the cave right now to take another look. If we find a way out, we'll continue on. What do you think? Are you staying here or coming with me?"

  Wen Baiyu looked back at the cave behind him. The yin energy of the black-haired cornel just now was very strong. According to reason, after dark, the yin energy is too strong and should not enter the cave again. However, four people may still be alive, and rescuing people is like fighting a fire, there's no time to wait.

  He hadn't even responded yet when Xue Bai said, "Let's go together."

  Mo Yang nodded and said: "I'll leave some people to take care of the wounded."

  Mo Yang said, and quickly went to deploy his men.

  Liu San has woken up, he was relatively ahead when entering the cave, Mo Yang asked him what he saw.

  Liu San recalled with some difficulty, seemingly still in a state of extreme shock, saying: "So many... so many female corpses..."

  Everyone was shocked, how could it be a female corpse?

  Isn't it black/glutinous rice dumpling?

  Liu San nodded and said: "It's a female corpse! Just like the one we saw in the woods, with deep green skin, it was especially terrifying... I was looking at the mural, when I turned my head back, my brothers behind me suddenly disappeared and turned into female corpses. Those female corpses rushed towards me to kill me... I retreated backwards, but bumped into something, and when I turned my head again, I saw more female corpses. Our people had all disappeared! I didn't have time to react, a female corpse knocked into me, and I flew out and crashed into the wall. At that moment, my arm hurt so much that I couldn't even hold onto my gun... Later, my consciousness became a bit fuzzy..."

  After Liu San said that, everyone was more certain about Wan Kui Jing Hou's idea. Perhaps there is something in the cave that causes hallucinations, such as gas or murals. It is also possible that those suddenly emerging black-haired zombies caused hallucinations.

  People who have hallucinations think that their teammates around them are actually ghosts or female corpses, overall it's just something they imagine.

  Mo Yang went to prepare, they wore gas masks, and followed the few people who entered the cave, choosing the best ones that could be reached by hand.

  The little cart was worried and said: "Master, don't go in."

  Xue Bai smiled and said: "Worry about your adoptive father? Silly child, your adoptive father's physical strength is very good, huh?"

  He said, and kissed the child's ear.

  Zi Che's face suddenly turned a little red, he didn't expect Xue Bai to be joking with him.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly rolled her eyes, Zi Che was really too innocent, Xue Bo this old rascal, eating tender grass was one thing, but he was also so shameless.

  Moreover, Xue Bai is obviously well-trained. Don't be fooled by his suit and gentle demeanor, it's all a facade. And let's not forget Xue Bai's marksmanship is unparalleled, he once even shot at Zi Che's car, the bullet was very precise, causing significant blood loss but no life-threatening injuries.

  The crowd prepared for a while and soon re-entered the cave, leaving some people to watch over the wounded and supplies, also facilitating their withdrawal.

  Mo Yang led the way, with everyone else wearing advanced gas masks. As they entered the cave, it was still very low and narrow, forcing them to crouch down as they walked. Gradually, the space opened up.

  They continued to move forward, and soon they arrived at the previous location. Moyang suddenly made a sound of "Hmm?", and everyone rushed over to see that the ground was covered in bloodstains, but the corpses that had not been dragged out earlier were all gone!

  "What's going on? Just died and came back to life?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at the ground and said: "There is no sign of dragging on the ground."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is it really getting up and walking by itself?"

  Mo Yang shone his flashlight inside and said, "Let's keep going and take a look."

  He said, continuing to walk in, the road ahead disappeared quickly, and the murals on both sides were Feng Shui, while the cave was filled with bloodstains, this feeling was really too eerie.

  Everyone didn't have time to admire the Feng Shui anymore, all of them stared at the wall in front, the cave suddenly came to an end, but where did those missing people go? And where did those missing corpses go?

  Everyone was a bit tense for a moment, Xue Bozi's car was fine, after all, he had seen the world before, but Mo Yang's people were not doing well, they were shaking and asking Mo Yang what was going on.

  The cave had reached its end, but there were signs of a collapse in front, and a pile of rubble blocked the view. Wen Baiyu squatted down, stretched out her hand to move the rubble, and said, "Huh, there's blood."

  As soon as he said that, everyone quickly squatted down to take a look and indeed saw bloodstains on those broken stones. The bloodstains had not yet coagulated and looked like they had just been splattered there.

  Mo Yang said: "There is a road ahead, dig it open."

  He said so, and everyone immediately took action, taking out their shovels and starting to dig away the collapsed stones and soil in front of them.

  After digging for a while, a large hole soon appeared in front of everyone.

  Mo Yang shone his flashlight into the hole, which was very dark and opened downwards. It extended all the way down, a circular hole with smooth edges that looked like it had been excavated by humans, absolutely impossible to be formed naturally.

  Place your palms on the entrance of the cave, and you can feel that inside the cave there is always a surge of cool air rising up, without any wind, but the cool air keeps surging up, making people feel chilled to the bone.

  Wen Baiyu wanted to go down and take a look, but Xue Bo stopped him, seemingly wanting to talk to him. Mo Yang didn't notice them, and led the way, tying the rope securely, preparing to go down first and take a look.

  Wen Baiyu looked at Xue Bo and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Xue Bai shook his head and said: "I've said it before, this tomb is going to be extremely dangerous. Since we're cooperating with them, someone should go ahead and scout the way."

  Xue Bai was an old fox.

  At this moment when Wen Baiyu stopped, a person from Mo Yang had already tied the rope, and the other end of the rope was hung on a large stone in the cave, and also pulled by everyone's hands.

  He slowly slid down the stone cave, with a whistle in his mouth. If something happened, he would blow the whistle. A long whistle meant pulling the rope, and two short whistles meant stopping.

  Everyone slowly let out the rope, after all, it was pitch black inside the cave entrance, and nothing could be seen. After that person went in, Mo Yang himself still shone his flashlight, but less than a minute later, even when the light was turned up to its maximum, he couldn't see him anymore, it was just a dark mass inside.

  Mo Yang was about to give up using his flashlight when suddenly a loud scream of "Ahhhhhhh!" came from the entrance of the cave.

  It wasn't a whistle but a loud roar that scared everyone, some people almost let go of the rope and nearly lost control.

  Mo Yang's eyes narrowed and he shouted: "Pull the rope! Pull it up!"

  Everyone started to pull the rope vigorously, but the rope seemed to be stuck and couldn't be pulled up no matter how hard they tried. Zi Che saw this and also went to help pull the rope. His arm strength was not small, after all, he had been trained since childhood.

  The rope let out a creaking "groan..." as it was pulled up bit by bit.

  The cave/mouth was quiet after that shrill cry, as if nothing had happened.

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat suspicious, always feeling that as the rope was pulled up, a gust of yin wind also climbed up along with it.

  "Squeak... Squeak..."

  "Ugh..."

  The rope was almost pulled up with great difficulty, and a bloody hand grasped the edge of the hole. It seemed to be seriously injured. Someone wanted to lend a helping hand, but Wen Baiyu suddenly shouted: "Don't move him!"

  However, it was too late, the person had already grabbed the bloody hand, and with a strong pull downwards, the person almost fell headfirst into the hole, but Wen Baiyu quickly pulled him back.

  In a split second, the man suddenly took a deep breath and fell to the ground at the entrance of the cave. As he lifted his face, it coincidentally met a bloody face staring back at him.

  The face seems to have been peeled off, with two eyes bulging out, abnormally terrifying.

  "Ahhh!!!!!!"

  That man was so frightened that he retreated several steps back.

  They all wore gas masks, while the people tied up with ropes did not have gas masks. However, judging from their windbreakers, they were indeed their teammates. At this time, they had already been stripped of their skin or splashed with strong corrosive substances on their faces, and their entire bodies were covered in blood.

  The blood man seemed to have lost his mind, climbing up along the rope, biting anyone he saw.

  The child reacted extremely quickly, turned the gun around, aimed at the human's forehead and fired a shot with a "bang".

  The blood man was beaten back two steps, but did not fall down, moved his neck, and seemed to have no injury.

  The little cart was somewhat surprised, even if it were a rice dumpling, it would still be a flesh-and-blood body, and yet it wasn't afraid of the bullets.

  The Blood Man was shot by Zi Che, and he started to get angry, rushing over fiercely. Xue Bai hugged Zi Che's waist and quickly retreated two steps. At this moment, Mo Yang suddenly rushed over, holding two extremely thin peach wood signboards in his hand, like needles, and stabbed them into the Blood Man's head.

  The blood man let out a loud roar and with a "thud" knelt down on the ground, curled up together, as if he was about to die.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the blood man kneeling on the ground, looking very painful, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, saying: "There is a blood spot on his temple, it's Haichong."

  Xue Baiying immediately came to take a look, and indeed saw that on the blood man's temple, there were two deep puncture marks. Because the blood man's entire body was covered in blood, these two marks were too small and extremely easy to overlook.

  "What's to be done? Can we still go on?"

  He said, and others also started to echo, saying: "Yes, Captain, our casualties are already very serious now. What if we go all out and get wiped out? It's not worth it."

  Wen Baiyu knew they were retreating as soon as she heard it.

  Mo Yang fell silent for a moment before saying, "You carry the wounded down, I'll go alone. If I haven't returned by dawn tomorrow, you can head back."

  When he said that, those people first let out a sigh of relief, they didn't have to continue anymore, but then again, some couldn't help but feel uneasy, Mo Yang was actually going down alone.

  Wen Baiyu glanced at Xue Bo and said, "What about you guys?"

  Xue Bai looked deeply at the hole and said: "Since we've come, of course we have to go down. If I'm not mistaken, what's below is the tomb we're looking for."

  Wen Baiyu looked at Wan Jingshou again, and Wan Jingshou also nodded. The carriage naturally followed Xue Bo.

  They decided on a team of four plus Mo Yang, and the five of them prepared to go down into the cave.

  Wan Kui Jinghou put the rope around his own waist and said: "I'll go down first and take a look."

  He finished speaking, Wen Baiyu was a bit worried, then heard Mo Yang say: "Don't worry, I'll go down first. If everything is fine, I will give you a signal."

  He said, his movements were very agile, and he sank into the cave entrance, kicking against the wall of the cave, then slid down along the entrance. Mo Yang had a flashlight on him, just in case, and also brought a glow stick.

  Everyone watched as Mo Yang went from being clear to becoming a fluorescent dot, and then disappeared.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him and stroked his chin, saying: "This Mo Yang looks calm, but people are actually quite impulsive?"

  Xue Bai laughed and said: "This person is thoroughly calm, it's just that some things make him impulsive, in fact he is desperate to die."

  Wen Baiyu looked at Xue Bo and said, "You must know something, but it seems like you don't recognize each other."

  Xue Bai said: "I don't know him personally, but I've heard some stories about him. You know, as a businessman, I have more connections and hear more stories."

  Xue Bai said that Mo Yang was actually very famous in the Taoist community before, but many people haven't heard of him. This is because Mo Yang's fame wasn't like that of Wan Qi Jing Hou; his reputation was fleeting and he quickly retreated from public view, fading out of this circle, so many people don't know about him.

  Mo Yang didn't work alone, he had a partner, a girl who was his childhood sweetheart. It's said that this girl was quite pretty, and the two of them were in a romantic relationship. The girl's skills were just as good as Mo Yang's, so when they partnered up, they naturally became unstoppable, and gradually gained fame.

  However, that year was also in Xuzhou. They didn't know what tomb they had entered, and the girl died inside the tomb. Moyang suffered serious injuries. When he came to, he had been rescued by someone and was no longer in Xuzhou.

  Because of this matter, Mo Yang quit this circle, seemingly evaporating into thin air, and suddenly faded out.

  Mo Yang is considered a very talented person, his master is very powerful, with a high status in this field, and Mo Yang has obtained the true transmission. The peach wood needle was used very fiercely, but due to the partner's affairs, his will had already sunk, many people wanted to invite him out of the mountain, Mo Yang refused all of them.

  Xue Bai said: "This time he came out of the mountain, if I guessed correctly, this tomb is likely to be where his partner died back then."

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "But Mo Yang is not familiar with this cave."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Maybe it's from another place into the tomb."

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and it made sense. No wonder Mo Yang insisted on going down, on one hand to save his teammate, on the other hand, perhaps for his partner.

  At that time, his teammates died in it. Now perhaps someone will die again, Mo Yang's impulsiveness is normal.

  They talked for half a day and didn't hear Moyang's whistling sound. Wen Baiyu said, "Nothing will happen, right?"

  "The little cart said: 'Don't wait anymore, I'll go down and take a look.'"

  Xue Bai grabbed him and said, "Good boy, if you want to go, your adoptive father will go first."

  The little cart was somewhat surprised, and saw that Xue Bai had already put on the rope, continuing to say: "This tomb is where Father insisted on going, and how could Father bear you to have an accident."

  The little cart heard him say that and became even more worried, Wen Baiyu said: "Don't be so pessimistic, let's say something auspicious, we'll stick together and take care of each other."

  The child nodded immediately and also put on the rope.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou helped Wen Bai Yu put on his armor and then put on his own iron helmet, saying: "I'll take the lead."

  He said, and drilled into the hole. Wen Baiyu saw him slide down a bit, and immediately followed up, also sliding down. He didn't dare to follow too closely, fearing an emergency situation, nor did he dare to follow too loosely.

  The cave seemed to have no end, extending all the way down. Wen Baiyu slid down while shining her flashlight around, it was just a stone cave, excavated very smoothly, looking like it took a lot of manpower.

  This cave is so deep, according to what Xue Bai said, the tomb of the Qin Dynasty is below, so the stone cave should also be excavated in the Qin Dynasty, and it may be a product of the Da Pengguo period, which are all things that happened thousands of years ago. Not to mention thousands of years ago, even now, digging such a deep hole, with technology, is not easy.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him, and a strange thought arose in his heart - could it be an official thief?

  If it weren't for mobilizing troops, such a large-scale artificial operation would have definitely alerted the authorities at that time.

  Keep sliding down, there's no end in sight. Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and said to Wan Kuang Jinghou below: "I'm going to throw a fluorescent stick, be careful."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou hummed, and saw Wen Bai Yu snap the fluorescent stick, which immediately emitted a red glow. Wen Bai Yu loosened his hand and threw it straight down.

  The glow stick fell rapidly in the air, and Wen Baiyu suddenly said "Huh?" The child on top looked unclear and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu wanted to take a closer look, but the fluorescent stick had already fallen down. The place where it fell was pitch black again. The fallen fluorescent stick seemed to have hit something and bounced back up.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "It's finally over."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Something's off down there. Just now when the glow stick fell, I saw a broken rope."

  As soon as he spoke, everyone became tense. The broken rope? Their ropes were all intact, and only Moyang had gone in first. Wasn't the broken rope Moyang's?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's arm was long, and with a single stretch of his hand, he lifted the rope that Mo Yang was holding onto. The rope didn't seem to be strained at all, and with one lift, it started swaying wildly. Below, there was indeed no one hanging from it.

  Everyone quickly slid down, after all, they were about to reach the bottom. As they slid down, they indeed saw the broken rope, which was still three meters away from breaking off in mid-air.

  Smooth cut

  Everyone fell to the ground one after another and quickly unfastened the iron buckle at their waist.

  The rope broke at a distance of three meters. At such a high altitude, even if Mo Yang's hands were good, he might still be injured.

  Moreover, he chose to cut off the rope and didn't come to sound the alarm, definitely an emergency situation had occurred.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at the stone wall beside him, there was a mark of impact on it. On the stone wall, there was a small hole that seemed to be the work of Mo Yang's peach wood needle.

  Wen Baiyu said: "There is blood on the ground."

  The cave came to an end and in front of it was a flat area, indeed a tomb passage, a stone tomb passage. On the ground there was a patch of bloodstains, the bloodstains had turned black, seemingly a sign of poisoning.

  Wen Baiyu took a step forward, and the fluorescent sticks on the ground suddenly went out. The surroundings were somewhat dark, and under her feet, there was a "clattering" sound, which startled Wen Baiyu. She looked down and found it was an anti-toxic mask.

  Needless to say, the zongzi won't be wearing a gas mask, it must be Moyang's, Moyang's gas mask is here, and there's blood again, definitely encountered some accident.

  Everyone walked along the tomb path and went deep inside, Wen Baiyu shone his flashlight around and said: "It's very strange, this place was built like a tunnel. If it's a tomb, it's too simple."

  Xue Bai, however, did not think so and said: "It really is here..."

  "What exactly are you looking for?"

  Xue Bai fell silent, and Wen Baiyu looked at Zi Che. Zi Che shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't know either.

  Wen Baiyu sometimes especially obeyed his father's car, he was completely unreserved to his adoptive father, and didn't even know what things were, just following him down the grave.

  The child seemed to understand Wen Baiyu's helpless gaze, but only pulled at the corner of his mouth and didn't say a word.

  Xue Bai grabbed Zi Che's hand from behind and said: "What I'm looking for is a corpse, I need to take this corpse out and bury it."

  As people walked further in, it indeed looked more like a tunnel than a tomb passage. The stones on both sides had nothing on them, only polished to be smooth.

  Everyone kept walking in, and there were intermittent bloodstains on the ground, with multiple impact marks on the stone walls, as if they had been fighting.

  Just then, a "boom boom boom" sound came from deep in the tunnel, followed by a huge roar.

  Everyone was shocked. Was there still a beast in the tunnel?

  This sound is huge and doesn't seem like a zongzi, but rather like a bear's roar.

  Suddenly, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" sounded, and it was actually gunfire.

  There's gunfire; it must be Mo Yang.

  The crowd surged forward, and suddenly Wan Qi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and said, "Be careful."

  Everyone immediately stopped and looked down at the ground, realizing that they had run too quickly earlier and hadn't noticed anything. Moreover, the tunnel was so dark, and their flashlights were always shining forward, without noticing what was under their feet.

  At this point, Wen Baiyu stopped and saw that under her feet, there was a faint thread.

  That line is very thin, from the left side of the tunnel to the right side, intercepting the entire tunnel, only up to ankle height.

  If it were in normal times and the tunnel was this dark, you basically couldn't see with your naked eye. Add to that high-speed movement, and you'd have to cut off both feet to avoid disaster.

  However, Wan Jie Jing Hou had good eyesight and with the addition of this silk thread already stained with blood, it looked like someone had slaughtered something on it. The thin silk thread stained red was still discovered by Wan Jie Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and the one who should be injured was Mo Yang, after all, he was the only one in front of everyone.

  Mo Yang must have been scratched while running at high speed.

  Everyone stepped forward cautiously, and the sound of gunfire was loud in front. There were not only one or two shots, but also other gunshots, as well as fierce firepower from artillery.

  Everyone looked at each other, wasn't it Mo Yang? Even if Mo Yang had guns in both hands, there were only two sounds. Now the front was chaotic, with many people seemingly present. It was impossible for Zongzi to use a gun.

  The crowd continued to move forward cautiously, and indeed there was another thin line ahead. This time it wasn't red, but because they were cautious, no one got hurt.

  The sound of gunfire grew louder and there were also the roars of massive beasts. The tunnel emitted a "rumbling rumbling" crashing sound.

  A huge, strange creature stood at the end of the tunnel, its body so large that it filled the entire passageway. It had a bizarre shape and made a sound similar to a bear's growl, but what was even more astonishing was that it had a stone head and body, leaving everyone speechless.

  The monster made of stone was not afraid of bullets, at most it would be shot with a few holes, and the powerful weapon would blast away a piece of stone, but the monster would not be injured at all, still raging furiously.

  Apart from the monster, they also saw a group of people, as many as seven in total. Among them were Mo Yang and another familiar face, Peng Siye, who had previously invited Wan Qi Jing Hou to join forces.

  Mo Yang was seriously injured, with blood all over his ankle. He covered his leg with his hand, and the upper part of his thigh was also injured, seemingly scratched by a terrifying claw mark. The wound was deep, with skin and flesh turned inside out, and the blood flowing out was somewhat black.

  The other five people seemed to be punching/handing, naturally following Peng Siye into the fight.

  I didn't expect Old Man Peng and his family to be involved in the fight as well, it seems like they're heading in a different direction.

  Next to the huge monster were two black-haired dumplings, one of whom had blood on his hand and flesh under his fingernails, definitely the one who hurt Mo Yang.

  The hands holding the guns blasted the monster fiercely, and the black-haired corn would be shot and stumbled, while the stone monster was not moved at all.

  The stone monster was huge, but it moved inconveniently and let out a loud roar. The two black-haired men beside him immediately rushed up, one of them pouncing towards Mo Yang.

  Mo Yang took a step back, and the wound on his foot immediately burst open, causing him so much pain that he sat down on the ground. Hei Mao Zongzi pounced over, Mo Yang didn't have time to dodge, and could only stretch out his hand to take out the peach wood needle, firing it off in succession.

  Hei/Mao Zongzi was hit in the eye, let out a loud "Kaka" cry, retreated two steps, and immediately rushed over to grab Mo Yang again.

  Peng Siye turned around and took a look, then immediately rushed over, hugged Mo Yang who was on the ground, rolled on the spot, and quickly fired two shots at the zongzi.

  Mo Yang had seen this dumpling before and said, "No use, he's not afraid of guns!"

  Zongzi was indeed not afraid of bullets, and immediately pounced on him again to grab him. Peng Siye didn't dodge, his Western-style suit was already stained with blood, the white shirt had a bloody mess, but he didn't look disheveled at all.

  Just as the dumplings were about to pounce, Peng Siye suddenly rushed up, grabbed the dumplings, and slammed them to the ground with a "bang". He quickly pressed his gun against the dumpling's temple, and a series of shots rang out: "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The black-haired dumpling's brains splattered out for a moment, until the bullets were all used up.

  There were sea worms in Hei Mao Zongzi's head, and although the sea worms could control corpses, even if the corpse was extremely rotten, it could still be controlled. However, the sea worms weren't invulnerable to attacks, and Peng Siniang's consecutive blows struck them down, causing the sea worms to explode instantly and mix with Hei Mao Zongzi's brain matter, making it impossible to distinguish between the two...

  Mo Yang was almost stunned, revealing a hint of surprise on his face.

  Not to mention Mo Yang, even Wen Baiyu was stunned. Who would have thought that Peng Siye's face, which looked so shrewd and businesslike, could be so ruthless?

  One black-haired dumpling died, and another one was also treated the same way. The gun skills of the car were very accurate, after all, they were learned from Xue Bai. Firing several shots at the black-haired dumpling, it let out a loud roar, but ultimately fell to the ground. Something crawled out of its head, like maggots, but was black in color. The car immediately fired another shot, hitting the thing and causing it to scatter everywhere.

  The black-haired Zongzi had been taken care of, but the gigantic stone monster hadn't been. It swung its hard stone arms and charged at the crowd, starting to fiercely pound them.

  "Boom!"

  "Bang! Bang!"

  "Hmm..."

  The enormous monster was truly too large; in his eyes, these people were just tiny ants.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and suddenly sprang up, rushing towards the monster.

  "Wen Baiyu shouted loudly: 'Where are you going?!'"

  Wan Jie Jing Hou seemed to have not heard, Wen Bai Yu scolded loudly, seeing Wan Jie Jing Hou rush over, Wen Bai Yu flung off the poison-proof mask and immediately followed suit.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou rushed over, and the monster immediately discovered it, swinging its stone arm, cutting across Wan Kuang Jing Hou's waist.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou immediately sprang into action, pushing off the wall of the tunnel and jumping onto the monster's stone arm, then quickly swinging upwards.

  Wen Baiyu's heart was racing as he quickly kicked off the wall and jumped up along the route that Wan Jingshou had taken earlier. Wan Jingshou moved swiftly, already climbing onto the monster's head, and when he looked down, he saw Wen Baiyu, grabbing his arm and pulling him up.

  "Come here, what are you doing?"

  As he spoke, the monster began to shake violently, each time making the two feel that their heads were about to scrape against the tombstone. If they straightened up slightly, they would be crushed into a meat paste.

  Wen Baiyu was dizzy and nauseous, he had just seen Wan Jingshou's series of dangerous moves and was already very angry, now being dazed and uncomfortable, he hastily shouted: "Get out!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

  Wen Baiyu finished speaking, also stunned for a moment, his old face slightly red, but now is not the time to blush, just listen to Wan Qi Jinghou lightly laughing, his voice full of indulgence, saying: "Good, come in a while."

  Wen Baiyu wanted to pounce on him and bite, but at this time, the stone monster was shaking more and more violently. Wen Baiyu's hands grasped the stone, and his lower body could no longer stabilize.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly pulled out the dragon scale knife, inserted it into the gap in the stone, and Wen Bai Yu also imitated him, inserting the phoenix bone knife.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him and said: "Jump with me."

  He finished speaking and said: "Let's go!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou pressed down on the hilt with both hands, suddenly leaping downwards. The weight of his body combined with the enormous force he exerted downwards, and the dagger sliced through iron like mud. Instantly, a "whooshing" sound was heard, as the dragon-scale dagger forcibly carved out a massive gash in the stone monster.

  Wen Baiyu took a deep breath and followed Wan Qi Jinghou as they jumped down together. The two of them were like cutting a cake, and just then, there was a loud "Rumble" sound, which perfectly cut off a corner of the monster from top to bottom.

  A huge stone fell down, and Wan Xi Jing Hou immediately hugged Wen Bai Yu, stretched out his hand to cover his head, and ran back a few steps.

  A loud rumbling sound continued, and rocks fell to the ground like rain. People nearby quickly scattered and ran away. Xue Bai immediately hugged Zi Che, pressed his head into her bosom, and carried him to a corner.

  The child himself had the ability to dodge, but Xue Bai hugged him and tried his best to protect him in his arms, making Zi Che feel a bit speechless and not struggling, obediently letting Xue Bai hold him.

  Xue Bai looked at him motionlessly and anxiously said: "What's wrong, are you injured?"

  The little cart hastily shook its head and said, "Where's Father?"

  Xue Bai smiled and looked at him, saying: "Uncle is fine too."

  The gigantic stone monster swayed twice, and stones fell one after another. However, because it was too big, it seemed to be only injured. Under its stony exterior, gears were unexpectedly exposed...

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Is it a machine?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow, the gear's appearance was alloy, because it was wrapped in stone, it was well preserved, with some dark green color, looking like bronze.

  The huge stone monster exposed its "bones" and stopped attacking them, it seemed that Wan Qi Jing Hou's method was effective. The monster let out a loud roar, turned around and started moving quickly with a "thud thud thud" sound, and actually ran away, rushing towards the depths of the tunnel.

  "Bang bang bang..." The sound was endless, but after a long time, it suddenly disappeared in the dark tunnel.

  As many people were seriously injured, no one went after it again. Moreover, it was really unclear what that monster was, looking like a creature from the tomb?

  Outside is stone, inside are gears, and it can even make a roaring sound, which is really too mysterious. If this is indeed from an ancient tomb, then the technology is too advanced.

  Behind them were many small tripwires, and the monster disappeared into the tunnel again. It was a case of having wolves in front and tigers behind, so everyone sat down on the spot and bandaged each other's wounds.

  Mo Yang stared at the monster's disappearance, his eyes somewhat dull, clutching the peach wood needle in his hand, panting heavily.

  The crowd came over, Wen Baiyu lowered his head to look at his wound and said: "You're really lucky, if it was a little more severe, your foot would have been severed. Don't move anymore, otherwise you'll be crippled for the rest of your life."

  Mo Yang didn't say a word, his eyes still somewhat dull, as if he was thinking about something. There were also wounds on his thigh, and they were quite deep. Wen Baiyu felt that the wound on his foot was bleeding a lot, but it was just a cut, whereas the one on his leg needed to be treated in time.

  Wen Baiyu said: "The wound on your leg is poisoned, let me help you."

  He said, taking out scissors from his backpack. Moyang's leg was torn and had been roughly bandaged, the bleeding had stopped, but his pants were stuck to his leg with dried blood. At this point, there was no choice but to cut them open.

  Wen Baiyu stretched out his hand, but Mo Yang, who had been silent until then, suddenly raised his hand and slapped Wen's hand away with a loud "slap".

  Wen Baiyu was startled and dropped the scissors in her hand, looking at Mo Yang in surprise.

  Wan Xi Jinghou's face turned ugly, Mo Yang knew he had lost his composure, his voice was a bit hoarse, and said: "Sorry, I'll do it myself, thank you."

  Wen Baiyu found it even stranger, not knowing why Mo Yang wouldn't let others touch him. The action of slapping his own hand open wasn't heavy, but the reaction was extremely intense. In an instant, his eyes narrowed as if he had seen something terrifying.

  Wen Baiyu withdrew her hand and looked at her palm, but there was nothing scary about it.

  Mo Yang picked up the scissors on the ground. Wen Baiyu kindly reminded him: "It fell to the ground, remember to disinfect it."

  Mo Yang nodded and repeated: "Thank you."

  Mo Yang sat down against the wall, a little distance from the crowd, lit a fire to disinfect the scissors, and with very skilled movements, heard the "snip snip snip" sound, and neatly cut open the pants on his leg.

  Mo Yang bit his lip, hurting badly, his face turned pale, his body shaking, but he endured it without making a sound.

  As this place seemed to be non-toxic, everyone took off their gas masks, feeling suffocated and sweating all over their faces.

  They rushed in, didn't even have time to eat, now they're fighting fiercely, their stomachs are growling. The six of them looked like they had been here for a long time too, hadn't eaten yet, after finishing the bandaging, they started preparing to eat.

  Peng Siye stood up and walked over, smiling as he said to Wan Jieying: "Mr. Wan, we meet again! What a coincidence that this burial site is the one we arrived at first."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou raised an eyebrow, and Peng Si Ye smiled and said: "Of course, if it wasn't for Mr. Wan earlier, we wouldn't have been able to deal with that monster either. So now I'm inviting Mr. Wan to join us for the second time, what do you think?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "We are not a team, there is another one over there."

  He said, raising his chin and looking at Mo Yang.

  Peng Siye turned his head and took a look at Mo Yang, understanding the meaning of Wan Kuang Jing Hou. It was very clear that Wan Kuang Jing Hou asked Peng Siye to ask Mo Yang's intention again.

  Mr. Peng said instead: "I and Little Mo are old friends now, so Mr. Wan can rest assured that he will definitely be willing to join."

  Wen Baiyu curiously went to look at Peng Siye, and then looked over at Mo Yang. Mo Yang had cut open his pants and was treating the wound on his leg, but his ankle was almost completely torn off. Wen Baiyu had taken a quick glance earlier and estimated that there were scratches all over the bone. At the time, he must have been running extremely fast.

  Mo Yang treated the wound on his leg, wanting to bend his knee, but at the same time, he was bearing down on his ankle, and the pain made his face turn white. At this moment, hearing Peng Siye's words, his face began to turn green again, and his lips were trembling slightly.

  Wen Baiyu felt it was infuriating, and no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like an "old friend".

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded, and it was decided that these six people looked like Peng Si Ye was in charge. The others were mostly tall and strong, with ample firepower and resources. It seemed that the group had encountered big trouble just a short distance into the cave, so being able to help each other out was for the best.

  Peng Siye saw that Wan Jieying had agreed, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face. This was the first relatively genuine smile that Wen Baiyu had seen from him; at other times, it was like a mask hung on his face, which could be used as a signboard no matter what happened.

  Mr. Peng said: "Let Mr. Wan rest first, I'll have someone bring you some food and water."

  He said that, turned his head and said a few words to someone, then the person walked over with two backpacks, handing them food and water.

  Peng Siye didn't go back, he just took some food and water, walked to the side of Moyang, and sat down naturally.

  Mo Yang was struggling to bandage his own wounds, one hand pressing against his knee bend, making his kneecap curve up, with injuries on his leg and ankle that would tear open with any force, this leg couldn't bear any weight at all. His other hand sprinkled medicine powder on top before bandaging, the movement was quite difficult.

  He saw Peng Siye sitting beside him, and suddenly became tense, his back straightened, and the hand holding the gauze relaxed, revealing a few peach wood needles at the fingertips.

  Peng Siye smiled and said, "I'll get you some food. We're comrades now, so isn't it a bit unkind to point your weapon at me?"

  Mo Yang didn't say a word, his lips just slightly trembling, he lowered his head and withdrew the peach wood needle from his fingertips, continuing to bandage the wound.

  Peng Siye put down his things, got up on his knees in front of him, stretched out his hand to take over the gauze and said: "You've torn open all your wounds, let me help you."

  Mo Yang's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he slapped away Peng Siye's hand with a loud "slap". At the same time, his finger swiftly poked out with a peach wood needle, and Peng Siye's hand immediately had a shallow scratch, which was slightly red but didn't bleed. If Peng Siye hadn't dodged quickly, his fingertips would have been cut off.

  Wen Baiya shrunk her neck, it turned out that there was nothing wrong with her own hands. It seemed that Mo Yang was still gentle with her?

  Peng Siye looked at the back of his hand, his expression was unpleasant for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said with a sigh: "Xiao Mo's temper is still so big, you don't want to be disabled, do you? Come on, listen."

  Mo Yang's face turned pale, and he blocked Peng's outstretched hand, saying: "Peng Ye, you're too kind, no need to trouble yourself."

  Peng Siye's face didn't show any unpleasant expression this time, and he seemed to be covering it up quite well. He said, "I'm your lifesaver, after all, and with this time, I've saved you twice now. Shouldn't Little Mo be grateful to me?"

  He said with a smile, lowering his head and leaning in close to Moyang's ear, "What's wrong, Moyang? You're still being formal with me. Do you want me to spill the beans about that little thing of yours?"

  Mo Yang's face turned deathly pale, his body trembling uncontrollably as he closed his eyes, seemingly overwhelmed by a massive fear, his breathing shaky.

  Peng Siye saw that he was no longer moving, and smiled as he patted his shoulder, saying: "I remember when you were injured, your temper was very big."

  He said, his hands moved quickly and neatly, propping up Mo Yang's leg, disinfecting it, then wrapping it in gauze. He went on to treat Mo Yang's ankle, the wound was deep enough to see bone, and since it was in a place that was easy to move around, it wouldn't heal in less than two months.

  Mo Yang didn't move, leaning against the stone wall, his eyes a bit dull, staring blankly at the top of the tomb, not feeling any pain, and his eye sockets couldn't help but redden.

  Peng Siye finished treating his wound, saw that his eyes were red, and this was a rare thing. He couldn't help but soften his tone and said, "Alright, I shouldn't have threatened you, but I really am doing it with good intentions."

  Mo Yang's eyes didn't move at all, and Peng Siye said again: "I won't use that matter to threaten you from now on, okay?"

  Mo Yang's eyes finally moved this time, seeming to glance at Peng Siye. Peng Siye smiled and said: "You've finally got some expression."

  He said, handing the food to Mo Yang, "Eat something."

  Wen Baiyu hid to one side, watching the show. He vaguely heard a few sentences and didn't know what kind of trick Mo Yang had grasped in Peng Siye's hand, and it seemed that this matter was quite important to Mo Yang.

  I heard from Peng Siye before that he had saved him twice, this is one time, and there was another time. Thinking of what Xue Bai said, Mo Yang and his partner were trapped in the tomb, Mo Yang's partner died, and when he woke up, he had already left Xuzhou. Could it be that the person who saved him was Peng Siye?

  If it's like this, what's so special about this tomb that two people have to come down multiple times to investigate?

  Wen Baiyu stroked his chin, somewhat distracted, and Wan Jingshou said: "What are you thinking about?"

  Wen Baiyu told him the whole thing, but even Wan Jiahao didn't know about this tomb. Xue Bo just said he wanted to find a corpse and take it out for burial, but what kind of corpse it was, none of them knew.

  Wen Baiyu wanted to ask Xue Bo, what kind of corpse it was. Could it be that someone had been buried here before and died inside? Did Xue Bo's conscience tell him to take the corpse out?

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and it seemed impossible. With Xue Bo's ruthless heart, unless the body was that of his son, he wouldn't have come down again.

  He thought so and immediately went "hiss hiss hiss" three times, thinking that good things don't work out but bad things do, and he absolutely couldn't make any wild guesses.

  He was thinking about it when he saw Zi Che walking over and sitting down beside him with an unnatural expression on his face.

  The white-feathered fox looked at Zi Che with a suspicious gaze and said, "What's wrong?"

  The little cart shook its head and said: "Nothing... just checking if you have enough food."

  He said, putting down what was in his hand, but he didn't leave and sat back down next to Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu is acting strange, did Zi Che eat something bad? He's actually not following Xue Bo, but instead ran over here?

  He looked over at Xue Bai's side and saw a person sitting next to him, who was the same person who had just brought food and water over, and should be Peng Siye's assistant.

  That person has a refined appearance, looking like a handsome man, with a smile that reveals a hint of cleverness. He is slender and tall, with muscles hidden under his crisp black clothes, smiling and talking to Xue Bai, seemingly familiar with him.

  As soon as Wen Baiyu saw him, his heart sounded a loud alarm. He looked at Zi Che and asked, "Who is that person?"

  The little cart shook its head and said: "I don't know what it's called, but I've seen it before. I used to follow my adoptive father to work and heard that he was quite skilled with his hands."

  Wen Baiyu looked at Zi Che's sulky expression, 100% jealous, and Zi Che was not one to eat vinegar randomly. Wen Baiyu had never seen Zi Che eat vinegar before, so if he was eating vinegar now, there must be a reason for it.

  Wen Baiyu pulled at Wan Jieying's sleeve, and Wan Jieying looked at him with a puzzled expression, unable to help but rub his temples.

  That finely featured man seemed to feel someone sizing him up, and he alertly raised his head, just in time to see Wen Baiyu. Wen Baiyu felt a bit embarrassed, shifting his gaze away, but the man didn't shift his gaze, instead turning his head slightly, his eyes burning with intensity as they shot over.

  Wen Baiyu turned his head and found a good fellow staring at Wang Jihou.

  Wen Baiyu thought to herself, Am I already dead?

  The little cart sat beside Wen Baiyu, leaning against the stone wall, with his knees together and curled up, burying his face in his knees, shrinking into a ball, somewhat depressed.

  Wen Baiyu's heart sank as soon as he heard this. Suddenly, he let out a loud shout: "Xue Bo, the sedan chair is uncomfortable."

  Xue Bai was speaking when he suddenly heard this sound, immediately straightened up and quickly walked over.

  The child stiffened for a moment, wanting to lift his head, but was pressed back by Wen Baiyu. He remained still, keeping his face buried in his knees, and didn't know what expression he had on his face now.

  Xue Bai quickly walked over and anxiously asked: "Zi Che? What's wrong?"

  The child shook his head immediately, indicating that he was fine.

  Xue Bai saw that he wasn't speaking and immediately squatted down, reaching out to wrap his arms around Zi Che's shoulders, saying: "Good kid, what's wrong?"

  The child spoke in a low and stuffy tone, with a slightly nasal accent, saying: "Nothing's wrong, I just feel...a bit uncomfortable..."

  The child spoke hesitantly and stuttered, Xue Bai thought he was uncomfortable, even his voice changed.

  Xue Bai reached out and dug his face out, touched his forehead with his own, found it wasn't hot, not a fever, let out a breath of relief, took off his own coat and draped it over him, saying: "Is the tunnel cold? Your hands are chilly."

  The child's head was pressed against his forehead, and the two people's noses were intertwined, scaring him so much that his face turned red in an instant. He hastily shook his head and said, "It's okay now."

  Wen Baiyu smiled and looked at Wan Jingshou, who chuckled and lowered his head to whisper in his ear: "You have a lot of bad ideas."

  That delicate-looking person was chatting with Xue Bai, just saw Xue Bai walk away nervously, couldn't help but frown slightly, seemingly not very happy, and had to head back.

  Peng Siye glanced at him and said, "Fang Jing, you're a clever person, don't provoke Xue Bai. He's Xue Bai's treasured adopted son, who in the martial arts world doesn't know that? If you provoke Xue Bai, I won't have the ability to protect you."

  Fang Jing smiled slightly, with a shrewd look on his face, and said: "Boss, as you said, I just knew Mr. Xue before, it's not very polite to meet without greeting."

  Everyone fought against those two black-haired corns and the huge monster, suffering quite heavy losses. First, they sat down to rest, then the three teams counted together.

  Old Peng said: "We came in with a total of ten people, now only four are left. There is a grave on the top of our heads, we fell from above and then met Little Mo."

  He said, pointing to the top of his head. Wen Baiyu looked up and saw that there were indeed small marks on the top of the tomb, probably a mechanism or switch. Their people accidentally triggered the mechanism and fell from above. And this below, it's clearly prepared for grave robbers, the black-haired zombies and stone monsters are not accidental.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stood up and looked at the small marks on the wall. The top of the tomb was very high, otherwise how could that huge monster move freely in the tunnel.

  Fang Jing looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou and said: "We've brought a ladder, do you want to climb up and take a look?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou didn't say a word, but suddenly sprang up and stepped on the vertical tomb passage "pa pa pa" three times, quickly borrowing force to jump upwards. After three steps, there was still some distance left, and even if Wan Kuang Jing Hou was extremely powerful, he could not possibly stand in mid-air after stepping on the tomb wall, nor could he move that piece of flipping board.

  Fang Jing had a look of watching a good show, with his arms crossed and standing there. He saw that after Wan Qi Jing Hou borrowed force to jump up, he immediately grabbed both hands, making a "slapping" sound, just like a gecko, and stuck them on the tomb wall, continuing to climb upwards along the vertical tomb wall. In two or three moves, he walked to the top of the tomb above their heads, grasped the top with one hand, and pushed the board over with the other.

  Just then a "boom" sound was heard, and the shovel was pushed up and stuck for a moment, but it didn't move.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's hands loosened at once and he immediately jumped down from the top of the grave, while Fang Jing was already shocked speechless.

  Wen Baiyu immediately went up and said, "How is it?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "It's locked, and it's a one-way open. There must be a mechanism on top. If you want to get through, you still have to go in from the tunnel."

  Peng Siye had previously partnered with Wan Jieying, so he was no longer surprised by Wan's methods. On the other hand, Mo Yang was somewhat shocked. He had seen many masters before, but it was hard to imagine what an even more formidable master would be like. Now that he saw one, he finally understood that if you can't imagine something, it really doesn't exist.

  "Let's continue moving forward, we don't know what's ahead of us now. It's too late and I suggest everyone take a rest, let's set off again tomorrow morning to recharge our energy."

  Mo Yang immediately said: "My people are inside, can't delay."

  "Your injury is already very serious, you can't even walk, and going in like this will be of no use."

  Mo Yang didn't say a word, he just propped himself up against the wall and stood up. Peng Siye's voice was much colder as he said: "I won't stop you from going in, but you've been to this tomb before, you're also very clear about how many mechanisms are inside. People who go in rarely come out alive, you should be clear about how much hope you have of finding the person you're looking for, don't do something futile."

  Mo Yang suddenly became excited, his legs seemed uninjured as he quickly rushed over and grabbed Peng Siye's collar.

  Peng Siye was dressed in a suit, although there were bloodstains on it, but he looked unruffled and was half a head taller than Mo Yang. Mo Yang was struggling to drag him along.

  His eyes turned red, as if he wanted to devour someone, his hoarse voice growled: "You also abandoned Kong Jie like this, when Kong Jie was still alive! You also gave up on her! How much do you need to clear your mind?! You don't have any blood or humanity, you're not even human!"

  Mo Yang was yelling hoarsely with all his might, and although he was shorter than Peng Siye, he didn't lose out in terms of momentum. The crowd was stunned, especially Peng Siye's entourage - who didn't know that Fourth Master was a force to be reckoned with on the road, able to accomplish anything with just a wave of his hand? Yet here someone was, daring to grab Peng Siye by the collar and loudly interrogate him, even going so far as to scold him.

  Mo Yang finished speaking, his hands fiercely loosening, and he violently bumped open Peng Siye who was blocking in front of him, limping forward.

  "No way."

  Old Peng shouted at him in a tone as cold as death.

  Mo Yang didn't turn around, not even pausing for a moment. He let out a cold laugh, his voice low and trembling slightly as he said, "No need to threaten me anymore, I'm not afraid of anything now. Go ahead and say whatever you want, it's all the same to me who hears it. Your threats are nothing but white noise to my ears, anyway... I'm just a monster..."

  Wen Baiyu looked at Mo Yang's back, his heart racing slightly. With each step he took, blood began to seep out, and the tunnel was immediately filled with the smell of iron and blood.

  Wen Baiyu glanced at Wan Jingshou, neither of them spoke. Wan Jingshou nodded to him, seemingly agreeing with Wen Baiyu's decision.

  Wen Baiyu was about to stand up when Peng Siye immediately turned around, his face looking anxious as he quickly walked a few steps forward and caught up with Mo Yang in front of him, embracing him with one arm.

  Mo Yang was startled and struggled fiercely, but Peng Siye's tall and large body couldn't hold down a struggling Mo Yang. The two of them stumbled for several steps before Peng Siye's back slammed into the stone wall with a loud "thud".

  "Shh... alright, I won't stop you. You know my temper isn't good either. I'll let it go this time, okay?"

  He said, carrying Mo Yang on his back, "Use your knee to press against my waist, and you'll hit the wound."

  Peng Siye finished speaking, and Chao looked back at him, saying: "Pack up your things, let's set off now."

  Peng Siye has given the order, and his men immediately pack up their things. Wen Baiyu was also thinking of setting off, so he naturally had no objections. Xue Bai saw that Zi Che had not been injured, and after resting for a while, he had already recovered his strength.

  Xue Bai was worried about what Zi Che had said earlier and didn't know if it was something serious.

  The little car hastily shook its head and said, "It's really all right now."

  The child himself was not uncomfortable and was not good at lying, so he couldn't pretend anymore. It was very cool in the tunnel, so he quickly returned his overcoat to Xue Bai.

  Peng Siye personally carried Mo Yang on his back, and after a while, he felt that his back was wet. Mo Yang is a person who is cold outside but hot inside, and he rarely shows his emotions, but he is very loyal.

  "Old Peng knew his temper and said, 'If you're tired, take a rest. We're heading inwards now, don't worry, I keep my word, absolutely won't go back on it, I've said I won't threaten you again.'"

  Mo Yang didn't say anything, he was indeed tired, his legs were aching and had no strength left.

  Peng Siye let out a sigh and knew that Moyang was going to sleep, so he said in a low voice: "As for Kong Shanshan's matter, Moyang, I really can't do anything about it..."

  Mo Yang seemed to have not heard, had already fallen asleep, and didn't know if it was due to excessive blood loss or fainting, his body completely lacking strength. If Peng Siye hadn't stretched out his hand behind him to hold onto him, he would probably have fallen off already.

  Wen Baiyu heard the three words "Kong Shan Shan", and also heard Mo Yang say something about "Sister Kong" earlier.

  Xue Bai said in a low voice: "Kong Shanshan is Mo Yang's partner."

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, Mo Yang called her Kong Jie, just one look and it's clear she's older than Mo Yang. And this kind of address, absolutely not lovers, who calls their girlfriend "sister"? Isn't that ridiculous?

  Wen Baiyu was very curious about what Mo Yang had encountered in this tomb before, but Kong Shanshan was already dead. If he asked, it would be bad for Mo Yang and not very polite either.

  Wen Baiyu's gaze was fixed on Mo Yang, her eyes constantly turning towards him, suppressing her curious thoughts.

  "What are you looking at?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "It's just curiosity."

  They kept walking in, the tunnel was too deep, with a feeling of not being able to reach the end. They walked for two hours, and it was always a flat tunnel, without any ups or downs, nor any twists or turns. Although everything was very calm along the way, it was extremely demoralizing.

  Everyone's physical strength is a bit unable to keep up, and some people start to doubt whether they have been led astray.

  After all, the tunnel stone wall is empty, there is no carving at all. What if you have been walking in place for two hours, wouldn't that be too miserable?

  Wan Qi Jing Hou made a mark on the stone wall, and everyone continued to move forward, making marks along the way. They walked for a very long time but didn't encounter any of their previous marks. Everything was still the same, as if they were walking in place. The stone monster was nowhere to be seen either.

  Wen Baiyu walked a bit tiredly, raised her hand to look at her watch, and found that it was already nine o'clock. They had made the mark at nine o'clock earlier.

  Wen Baiyu shook her wrist and found that the second hand of her watch wasn't moving. She said, "My watch has stopped."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou also raised his hand to look at his watch and found that it was also nine o'clock, and the second hand had stopped moving.

  Several others also let out a "huh" sound, with someone loudly shouting that my watch was broken.

  Everyone was immersed for a minute, the white light of the flashlight hit the stone wall, and for a moment everyone's face looked strange, with intense fear.

  Someone said: "It's impossible for both of our watches to be broken at the same time, could it be... has time stopped?!"

  As soon as he spoke, more terror appeared on everyone's face.

  Time stood still. This was indeed his nonsensical talk, but they were in a tomb, where any nonsense could happen at any time.

  Everyone was stunned, and for a moment, there was only an eerie silence.

  Mo Yang woke up at this time and saw them stopping in place. Everyone's face was not good-looking. He said, "What's wrong?"

  "Old Peng turned around and said: "We've encountered some minor issues, you continue resting, we'll set off again immediately.""

  Mo Yang was even a bit dizzy, because of the blood loss his brain was turning very slowly, he really lowered his head and leaned on Peng Siye's shoulder, continuing to sleep. At this time, Mo Yang was probably the most at ease, because he had no idea what had happened.

  Wen Baiyu looked at his watch, then at the tunnel, and suddenly said: "It's not right, time hasn't really stopped. Think about it, before we stopped to make marks, the time on our watches was 9 o'clock in the evening. If time had really stopped at 9 o'clock, there should be previous marks on the tunnel around us, but now there is nothing. Maybe it's just an illusion."

  "But our watches can't all go on strike at the same time."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou furrowed his brow, raised his hand to look at his palm, and found a small black spot on it. He suddenly walked over to the stone wall of the tunnel, reached out to touch it, and when he lifted his hand again, he saw that his palm had also been stained with the same black substance.

  "What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It's magnetite rice."

  As soon as he spoke, the crowd rushed to the wall and began scraping it with their hands. The black wall quickly revealed a patch of white stone beneath. Their palms were all covered in iron filings, which stuck to their watches as soon as they put them on.

  Everyone was amazed and said: "How can it be magnetized rice?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "In ancient times there was only magnetite, it is impossible for this thing to appear."

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "It seems that someone has preceded us in digging the grave and wants to use this to wear down our will."

  Everyone has witnessed the ferocity of Wan Qi Jing Hou. When he spoke, it seemed to carry particular weight, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

  Wen Bai furrowed his brow, this thing couldn't be made in ancient times, and the ancients wouldn't have known what kind of watch to bring with them when they were buried. It was clear that someone had intentionally tried to trap them to death. In such an environment, if their willpower collapsed, even if they had food and water, it was estimated that they would not continue walking forward, but instead sit down and wait for death.

  Who is going to do this?

  Wen Baiyu suddenly thought of that black feather and her heart skipped a beat. Was it possible that this time, the person wanted to get rid of them once and for all?

  Everyone is now invigorated and starts moving forward again, all praising Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou for their quick reaction, otherwise they would have been stupidly trapped here.

  Fang Jing couldn't help but glance at Wan Qi Jing Hou, her beautiful eyes constantly wandering over him. Wen Bai Yu felt extremely annoyed, wondering if she had to pay for every glance, and yet she was stealing so many looks.

  The crowd continued walking forward for a long time, as they didn't have watches and didn't know the time, but it wasn't short. Finally, they saw a large gate, and everyone had a feeling of wanting to bury their heads and cry.

  Everyone was really exhausted and sat down at the door to rest. The feeling of this long journey, combined with mental exhaustion, even if they knew that Wan Qi Jing Hou said it wasn't time standing still, but couldn't help being afraid, all felt a bit powerless.

  Everyone sat down, and Peng Siye gently laid Mo Yang down. Mo Yang was unconscious and had started to run a fever, his mind unclear as if he was still trapped in a nightmare, softly calling out for Kong Jie.

  Mr. Peng reached out and touched Mo Yang's forehead, which was extremely hot to the touch. He had someone fetch some fever-reducing medicine, woke Mo Yang up, and made him take it. Mo Yang was very dazed, his eyes dull and unfocused, but he obediently took the medicine and stared blankly at the wall.

  "Go to sleep," said Peng Siye. "You'll be fine when you wake up."

  Mo Yang closed his eyes at this time, as if he had fallen into a coma again.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is it because the poison of Hei Maozongzi hasn't been cleaned up?"

  Old Man Peng nodded and said: "It should be, there is no poison on his ankle wound."

  Wen Baiyu couldn't bear looking at Mo Yang's miserable state and said, "Let me take a look at his wound."

  Peng Siye hesitated for a moment, Wen Baiyu was somewhat puzzled, and didn't know what Mo Yang had on him that couldn't be seen by others.

  But Peng Siye still nodded.

  Wen Baiyu beckoned to Wan Jingshou, indicating that he should shield him. Wan Jingshou knew what he was going to do - the Phoenix Blood could not only counteract poison but also heal wounds. He wanted to give some of his blood to Mo Yang, but there were too many strangers around and he feared others might discover more than they needed to know.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stood up and stood beside Wen Bai Yu.

  Peng Siye was a bit worried and wanted to watch, but Wan Jie Jinghou suddenly took the initiative to talk to him, Peng Siye was slightly surprised, just in time to shift his attention.

  Wen Baiyu moved quickly, opening Mo Yang's wound, rapidly dripping some blood, then wrapped a new gauze around it. Her movements were neat and efficient, after finishing she used medical cotton to wipe her own palm clean.

  Everyone sat down to rest, Wen Baiyu cleaned the wound and stood up, saying: "It's okay, nothing serious, the wound is inflamed, but I've applied some medicine, he'll be fine after a nap."

  He said, pulling Wang Jue out to one side.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at the wound on his palm, Wen Bai Yu's phoenix blood was not as fast-healing as Zhu Long's. Wan Xi Jing Hou lifted his hand and gently licked it twice, his scorching tongue sliding up and down along the wound.

  Wen Baiyu was startled and withdrew her hand, saying: "My hands are not clean."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou smiled, but Wan Bai Yu had just washed his hands with medical cotton and water. However, there were many people around, and Wan Qi Jing Hou himself was eye-catching. This action must have been seen by others, and Wan Bai Yu's face turned red.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou ignored him, seeing that he was clenching his fists and not revealing the palm of his hand, so he gently kissed his fingertips and the back of his hand.

  Wen Baiyu's face turned bright red as he was kissed by him, and just as he was about to pull his hand back, he saw Fang Jing staring at them. Fang Jing sat in the corner, gazing intensely at Wan Qi Jing Hou, with a hint of disdain towards Wen Baiyu, seemingly not taking him seriously.

  After all, Wen Baiyu doesn't seem to have much muscle mass and isn't very tall. He has no reputation on the Taoist path and still sports long hair, just like Mo Yang's gang, so they thought Wen Baiyu was a kept man.

  Wen Baiyu raised an eyebrow and suddenly grabbed Wan Qi Jinghou's collar, pulling him forward.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou was startled, first widening his eyes, then smiling and saying: "Earlier you didn't let me touch with my own hands, so it turns out you wanted to touch somewhere else?"

  Wen Baiyu's lips were almost stuck to his, opening and closing fiercely as he said: "You rotten turtle, attracting rotten peach blossoms."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou lost his smile and said: "How did I become a loach?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Isn't the candle dragon a snake? It's just a loach."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou let out a light laugh, grasped the back of Wen Bai Yu's head with one hand, and pressed his lips to Wen Bai Yu's mouth. He nibbled on Wen Bai Yu's lips, entwined their tongues, and lowered his voice, huskily saying: "I'm a loach? You've seen me before, how dare you say that. Hmm?"
