Chapter 18: Xiangxi Gu Land (Squirrel)
After Mu Yier took away the man's soul, she walked back calmly, covered the Forbidden Soul Bottle with one hand, and then put the Forbidden Soul Bottle in her pocket without any trace.
I didn't say much, just understand some things in my heart, there is no need to understand everything.
"Okay, let's keep moving forward?"
She asked with a smile, not mentioning the soul at all, probably she wanted to change the topic.
"Yes, I hope I can find something useful."
I said, taking the lead to walk forward, the light of the candle is floating in the dark, and the distance we can see is too short.
However, it seems that Mu Yier and the people who were dig were in big trouble, because the smell of blood in the air became very strong. Generally, many people died in this situation.
Walking a little further, blood began to appear in the candle light, and it was covered with stone walls. It was obvious that someone died miserably. The blood had solidified and turned black, and he passed along the stone walls.
Mu Yier rubbed a little blood with her hands and smelled it between her nose, "There is the smell of poisonous poison, and there is poison in his blood." She said.
"Can you judge the level?"
I frowned. The level of the Gu poison is the most important. High-level Gu poison and low-level Gu poison are not at the same level at all.
"It's very advanced. At least neither of us has the ability to crack it. Once we hit it, we have to wait for death."
Mu Yier said worriedly.
"Be careful"
I said helplessly that it was impossible to retreat when I reached this point, so I had to continue moving forward. Mu Yier nodded and we continued to walk along the stone wall.
A corpse appeared not far away. Compared to the guy who was surviving just now, the man on the ground died extremely miserable, with blood all over his body, and it felt like he had been peeled off a layer of skin.
"Where do you see?"
Mu Yier pointed to our left and said, and when she heard this, I quickly turned my eyes to her. She saw a black bag falling down there under the stone wall, and there was a flashlight next to her.
Seeing this, I was ecstatic and ran over three steps and two steps, picked it up, found the switch and pushed it down in anticipation.
After a click, a bright light shone out from the darkness ahead, penetrated the darkness and hit the stone wall. After seeing the light and shadow, an indescribable relief surged in my heart.
Mu Yier was also quite happy. After all, now we don’t need to protect the faint candlelight with both hands, and we are always worried that something will approach us without realizing it.
The flashlight is a military waterproof high-transparency S-light. No wonder Mu Yier said that they were well prepared. This configuration is not bad for us to go to the Bu Lao Tomb at that time.
"Look at this"
Mu Yier said.
She squatted on the ground, and her black bag had been opened by her, and her hand even reached into it. After my attention had passed, she pulled out a flashlight that was exactly the same as mine.
Another crack sounded, and another beam of light came out. The surprise gains made us feel confident. People are so strange, full of yearning for light, and it can indeed bring hope to people.
With the second flashlight, we can go back to the water and enter the Gu Tomb by water. However, I still have a worry in my heart, that is, whether the Eighth Master and the others have come down. If they come down and don’t know the way out, it will be a troublesome thing.
Mu Yier continued to scrape the supplies, and what the man left for us was not only a flashlight, but also some dry food and clean water.
There were no weapons. I guess when my companions left him, they took away the weapons, and they might have lost them during the escape.
I was not very disappointed, and being able to get a flashlight was my greatest luck.
"Check it out, where will we go back to the water?"
I put the candle in my bag. Although I had a flashlight, I still would not discard it. In the tomb, the most important thing is supplies, which is the key to protecting life.
Mu Yier nodded when she heard this, put her backpack on her back, and then tore a compressed biscuit for me. I took it and threw it into my mouth. This thing has much higher energy than the things in my bag. While chewing the biscuits, I turned my eyes to the vague figure under the stone wall.
Looking at his miserable appearance of death, I shook my head and called Mu Yier, using things to pull him to a cleaner place. After all, he provided us with supplies and couldn't do anything else. It would be a matter of raising our hands to find a clean piece of land to make him lie more comfortable.
After putting it down, Mu Yier quickly shook her hand and complained: "A dead person is not stupid, why bother back and forth?"
"Stop complaining, hurry up and clean up, let's go back."
I said, Mu Yier nodded, and just as he was about to set off, a breath came from behind us, which scared Mu Yier and I to tremble.
"You called out?"
Mu Yier said in a daze, and his tone of speaking trembled.
"Why am I so heavy?"
I said dissatisfiedly, holding the cry of my hand, and suddenly turned around. Two flashlights shone on the body at the same time, and saw that the body was still lying on the body without any strangeness.
We couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and all felt relieved.
"Don't scare yourself, we should be too nervous"
I said to Mu Yi'er. She nodded when she heard this, glanced at the body again before I turned around.
As soon as the material moved, the thing suddenly got up and pinched my shoulder with both hands.
His force was terrible. He pinched my back so hard that it hurt. Mu Yi'er decisively cut off the knife, pressing his neck against his neck, and making a huge hole.
"Ao…………Roar"
The corpse roared lowly, opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite my neck. I was so scared that I was sweating profusely, and handed it over with a whine from my backhand, then my body suddenly carried it away, and smashed it hard on the stone wall opposite.
"Why did it get up?"
Mu Yier shouted in panic. She cut her own sword. She was naturally afraid when she knew that he was a corpse.
The body hit the stone wall. It roared again, got up straight, and rushed towards us with a roar. I pulled Mu Yier and said, "Look, run away quickly!"
We fled, while the corpse followed closely behind us, waving our arms, wishing to tear us apart.
Mu Yier and I rushed out, but we ran into a dead end head-on, "Damn it, why is it a dead end?"
I scolded.
"Come on, come on"
Mu Yi'er shouted, held the knife and rushed forward, ruthlessly slashing the body of the corpse. I dared not hesitate, and I also rushed forward desperately.
After all, it was a fake corpse, with only brute force, but I didn't know how to use it. Mu Yier and I attacked each other forward and backward, cutting his skin like cutting wood.
Mu Yier is completely a fierce woman. When she starts to fight, she is like having a deep hatred with the corpse, and she is completely inhumane.
Blood was still flying all over the sky. After I seized the opportunity, I kicked him on the bone of the foot, knocked him to the ground, and then kicked him hard and rolled his head out.
The body struggled on the ground for a few times, and then there was no movement. I leaned on the stone wall in relief, gasping for breath.
Mu Yier was also very tired and had a red face. Just when we thought it was done, the damn breathing sounded again.
Mu Yier and I were frightened and trembled, and she even put the knife across our chest, "Isn't dead yet?"
"What's wrong, look at his chest!"
I called the flashlight and saw something squirming inside the chest of the corpse, and the sound of breathing came from where it came.
We stared at something with big eyes, and soon a black claw pierced its chest, and then a black head was poked out, and a white bug came out on its forehead.
"Corpsy?"
I said in surprise.
"No, this thing is not a corpse. The corpse has two eyes, but this guy has only one"
Mu Yier hurriedly said, and her body involuntarily took a step back. I glanced at it and found that the guy really had only one eye, and it was different from the corpse carved in the book.
"What's the matter?"
I asked again.
Mu Yier frowned and looked at it, and after a long time he spoke: "If I remember correctly, this thing should be called a Wheatworm, a type of advanced poison. It is rumored that it can eat people's heart and lungs and also feeds on his own. Instead, it is the attacked person, and no one will live."
I heard this and my eyebrows sank, holding my hand that was sobbing was covered in sweat. The guy poked his head out and looked at us with big eyes. The next second, his front foot thrust into the skin of the corpse. With a sudden force, his body crawled out of his chest, flapped his wings and flew in the air. I glanced at it, and my body slowly moved towards Mu Yier, then grabbed Mu Yier's backpack, looked at her, and while Mu Yier bent over, he lifted the backpack from it and waved it towards the swimworm in the air. The huge force caught it off guard, and his body was hit and flew out on the stone surface.
Seeing that the attack succeeded, I quickly threw the bag to Mu Yier, and then shouted, "Run!".
