Chapter 50 Corpse Soldier
s
Styptic powder is a good thing, but it's a pity that it's all used on me now.
Lao Bai is a bit mean, he shamelessly picked a little bit from my wound, then squatted there and wiped it on the wound as if wiping his butt, grinning while wiping, blood dripped out, like an aunt coming, I
Everyone was panicking for him, but he himself was not ashamed at all. He even said nonsense, saying that you couldn't sift the water after washing the rice. Of course he had to be bled because he was injured.
I shouldn't have saved him. Now that I had just recovered my breath, that stinking mouth started to talk non-stop again. After a long time of talking, I finally got down to business.
After the Hexi Bu melted, several of us followed the current into this level of the tomb. Only Lao Bai was entangled with the water scorpions above. It took a lot of effort to finally get rid of these things. We saw that the water in the pool had been poured down.
More than halfway through, he simply waited for the pool to dry up before lowering the rope.
At that time, this level of tombs was completely covered with water, and the average water depth was almost as deep as the legs. Fortunately, there was only one path, and he didn’t have to worry about getting sidetracked from us. He just followed the corridor inside the tomb.
Soon we arrived at the fork Zhang Xinya mentioned.
However, one of the roads has been completely flooded. It is probably the road I took. If the stone gate is blocked and the water from outside cannot get in, then that road will be flooded.
There was only one other way for Lao Bai to choose, and he came in by taking that way.
"My uncle and his friends are also taking that path!"
Zhang Xinya hurriedly interrupted Lao Bai and asked, "Didn't you meet my old uncle?!"
"What the hell, there's a long road there!"
Lao Bai muttered: "You don't know, there are many tombs on that road, and those tombs are all filled with dead people..."
"Did you go into those tombs?"
I asked with a dark face: "Is that why you caused something dirty, and then someone stabbed you in the butt with a rusty spear?"
"What do you want to do?!"
Lao Bai covered his chest with a vigilant look on his face: "I'm warning you, I paid for these things with my life, so don't even think about making any plans!"
Come on, this is not self-inflicted. Needless to say, this grandson must have entered those tombs.
He was muttering about looking for one or two treasures along the way, but he was afraid of seeing those tombs and was itching, so he finally got into them.
We came here to seek a way to survive, and he came here to seek money. It was not the same approach at all, but seeing how he wanted money rather than his life, I was really speechless.
Zhang Xinya was quite curious about what he had found. Lao Bai warned us again and again to make sure that we wouldn't do anything like Brother Yaozi, and then he happily told us that it was a piece of jade.
My original intention of laughing at him suddenly disappeared. I looked back and forth at this bastard and wanted to give him a slap in the face.
As the saying goes, gold has a price, but jade is priceless. If this grandson can look like this, what he will give away will be great.
The people buried here are all Jie tribesmen. These executioners burned, killed, looted and cannibalized people in the north. They did everything. They definitely got something good. That piece of jade was taken out of a dead man's arms by Lao Bai.
, judging from the year, it is already an ancient jade, and the price is sky-high if it is in good condition!
However, just because he touched this piece of jade, he woke up the dead man in the tomb, and a large number of big rice dumplings chased him with weapons.
Lao Bai was escaping all the way when a big zongzi stabbed him in the buttocks with a spear. He immediately clamped his hips, twisted his waist, and broke the spearhead with a "click", and then he escaped. This was a man who wanted money but didn't want it.
The master of fate, in order to ensure that he had the life to get the jade and finally the life to spend money, he ran desperately until he was exhausted and fell directly into the corridor. No one knows what happened next.
Zhang Xinya asked him to take out the piece of jade to open our eyes, but the grandson probably saw something bad in my eyes and refused to take it, guarding me as much as guarding against thieves.
In fact, I just wanted to share the profit for a moment, and everyone who sees it has a share. Now they won’t let me see them, so I have long since lost my mind. After thinking about it for a while, I shook my head and said: "There is something weird about this matter.
Big Zongzi cannot use weapons. The zombies who can use weapons are called corpse soldiers. They are similar to Yin soldiers, but the fighting instinct is preserved in the flesh. Corpse soldiers are good at catching energy. Once they identify their prey, they cannot escape at all.
We have to catch up even to the ends of the earth, don’t you think it’s a bit strange that you were still alive after falling in the corridor for such a long time?”
When Lao Bai thought about it, he couldn't explain why, but he had walked the road ahead, and this was probably the only valuable thing about him at the moment. I could only ask him about the specific situation.
"Don't tell me you're going to go forward. I'm telling you, there were too many corpse soldiers, so I touched one of them. As a result, everyone in the tomb got up. After chasing him out, the places he passed were getting more and more...
Many corpse soldiers ran out of the tomb and joined in, just like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, at least dozens of people!"
Lao Bai was serious, but he still told me what he knew: "After I came out of that tomb, I ran in a straight line. After running for a long time, I came across a T-shaped fork. At that time, I was kicked out of nowhere.
The road leads to nowhere, so I didn’t even take a closer look, so I just came straight in your direction.”
This clue is so useful.
My master and Brother Yaozi walked in front of Lao Bai, and that road was actually equivalent to going in a circle, and finally returned to my road.
In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, my master and Brother Yao Zi should be in the other direction mentioned by Lao Bai. If we go straight forward now, we should be able to find them!!
My breathing is quickened. Finding my master in my heart is the only hope for survival. As for Lao Bai, I might as well count on myself. Although I am a novice, I know how to run away when something happens. This grandson
I have no idea at all, I am looking for death everywhere!
"We have to get out of here. Since those corpse soldiers haven't caught up with us, I suspect there may have been something unexpected. The front may not be so dangerous!"
I hesitated for a moment and made a decision in my mind. I looked at Lao Bai and said angrily: "My master and the others don't know that we are here. If we wait any longer, we will die. We have lost all our food and drink. How can we rely on the piece of jade in your arms?"
If not, how can we control hunger?"
Lao Bai was at a loss for words, and in the end he could only hold his nose and go on the road with us.
In fact, this road is relatively safe, because the last heavenly official designed this place to suppress demons. There are no flying arrows, falling rocks and other mechanisms inside, and there are no corpse soldiers that Lao Bai mentioned. It doesn’t take much effort.
We rushed to the fork he mentioned, and we were stunned by the situation here.
Corpses one after another are laid out here, and broken weapons can be seen everywhere.
Aren't these the corpse soldiers that Lao Bai was talking about? Now they have all been killed!
These corpse soldiers were still covered in armor, but the armor was neither leather nor iron, just like the foamed Thousand Layer Pine Tower, all of which exploded.
This kind of armor should be ancient paper armor, but it has been rotting in this tomb for thousands of years and is no longer visible.
As the name suggests, paper armor is an armor made of paper, framed with hard cloth and stuffed with paper tendons.
Don't think that armor must be made of leather and iron. The cost is too high. Ancient smelting technology was very limited. Even in the heyday of the unified dynasty, it was impossible for all armies to be equipped with iron armor. This kind of paper armor was the best for the ancient army.
The choice is very common, relatively cheap, and has strong defensive capabilities. It is no worse than iron armor at all, but its durability is a bit worse.
As far as I know, paper armor is mentioned in the history books of the Southern Qi Dynasty. The prototype of this kind of thing probably appeared in the Wuhuan Dynasty, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it became truly mature and equipped on a large scale. These people are wearing the earliest
of paper armor.
The Jie people are very poor. Because they are poor, they only eat hair and drink blood. Most of their soldiers directly wrap their bodies with cow and sheep skins as leather armor. For this group of barbarians, paper armor is already considered a very high-end product, but this is what they have made.
If you don’t come out, nomads have always been good at destruction and not good at construction. I guess you don’t know where these paper armors were snatched from. They must be given priority to the generals.
Those lying dead here now, if not unexpectedly, are all middle-level generals of the Jie clan, who were responsible for commanding those mercury warriors, and are buried here.
I squatted down next to one of the corpse soldiers, looked closely, and found that the corpse soldier in front of me was killed by a sword piercing through the chest. I am very familiar with this kind of sword injury, it was left by my master's ancient sword!
It was my master and Brother Yaozi who killed these corpse soldiers and accidentally saved Lao Bai. Otherwise, Lao Bai would have been stabbed to death by random spears...
All signs are telling me that they are not far away from me now!
"Blood!!"
Zhang Xinya exclaimed and lost her voice: "The corpse soldiers will not bleed. These must be left by my old uncle and Brother Yaozi. They must be injured. The situation is not very good, even..."
