Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 316

"Wow—!"

It was too late to react, Wu Liang was forcibly dragged into the dark river.

The icy river water flooded over his head in an instant, Wu Liang couldn't see anything, and only the sound of "grumbling" water could be heard in his ears, and he almost choked on the water in horror.

However, he did not give up struggling, and while he was thrashing vigorously, he habitually touched the back of his waist with one hand, and pulled out the copper dagger pinned to the back of his waist. You have to do something for yourself.

Although the eyes cannot see, the ears cannot hear.

But he knew that his ankles were being tightly grasped by a pair of terrifying hands, and if he wanted to survive, he had to break free from these hands and get out of this dark river.

So he could only try his best to shrink his body, and waved the copper dagger randomly to cut off those hands by feeling.

"Shh!"

At the same time as the copper dagger was swung out, Wu Liang suddenly felt his ankle loosen, and the hands let go of him at this moment.

The copper dagger was completely empty.

But now he finally got rid of the shackles for the time being, and quickly flapped his hands and feet again, trying to use his best dog planer to help him surface, and then find a way to quickly return to the shore.

Now he doesn't have the heart to think about what is the thing that dragged him into the water, his only thought is to get back to the shore as soon as possible, otherwise if he is caught or entangled by that thing again and keeps pulling him under the water, he will soon Will be drowned alive!
The result was such a flutter.

"What is this?!"

Wu Liang's foot actually stepped on a solid entity.

Under the circumstances, Wu Liang thought he had stepped on an unknown underwater monster, so he quickly retracted his feet in fright.

But as his body continued to sink to the bottom, his body had to continue to tread water with his feet.

As a result, he stepped on a solid entity once again.

But now he didn't care so much, no matter what was in the water, in order to survive, he had no choice but to kick hard, trying to use the force of the rebound to rush himself out of the water as soon as possible.

then.

"Um?!"

Wu Liang's entire upper body rushed out of the water at once.

In fact, he just stood up from the water, and there didn't seem to be any messy things under his feet, as if it was just a very stable river bed.

At this moment, the river water just reached his waist.

"Such shallow water?"

Wu Liang couldn't believe it, but he didn't dare to stay for a long time. He quickly raised his hand and wiped off the water on his face. He just wanted to see the direction and get ashore as soon as possible, and let's not talk about anything else.

And just when he finally opened his eyes.

"Fuck!"

Wu Liang subconsciously let out another sound.

Because at this time, in the water less than half a meter away from him, there was a disheveled, neither human nor ghost standing in the water.

The monster's hair was long and dense, covering half of its face and part of its naked body. Most of its hair was still floating in the turbid water, just like the "black hair" in the river that Wu Liang had seen before. "Generally no two.

Through these hairs, I could barely see its face.

It was a pale face with no trace of blood, and it had the same facial features as humans. The most creepy thing was its eyes. The pupils of her eyes were very large, and the black eyeballs almost occupied most of the eye sockets, with only a very small amount. the whites of the eyes.

At this moment, its expression is extremely distorted, it is a ferocious mixture of anger and resentment.

Are there really water ghosts? !
Wu Liang's scalp tingled instantly.

Compared with the image of "water ghoul" or "forbidden woman" that appeared in folklore and literary works in later generations, although I dare not say that there is no difference, it can be said that it is completely in the same mold. from!

Wu Liang didn't doubt at all that it was determined to kill him.

Because when Wu Liang regained his eyesight, a stick-shaped object in its hand had involuntarily thrust towards his chest.

Wu Liang knew what that stick-shaped object was. It was the chisel that he saw the most around those corpses along the way. Although this thing did not belong to the category of weapons, it was easy to stab a person to death.

the most important is.

It was too late for Wu Liang to dodge now, and it was already a step too late to even raise his hand to resist!
"Are you going to die like this at the hands of an unknown monster?"

Wu Liang's heart was full of despair.

But it was absolutely impossible for him to catch him without a fight. In desperation, he instinctively raised his hand and stabbed the copper dagger at the opponent.

Although it was a step late, if the monster insisted on hurting itself, even if the dagger was a beat slower, it still had a chance to hit the opponent.

It's just that whether this monster will be injured by physical damage is another matter.

Wu Liang can only be regarded as doing his best now...

"Chong!"

The chisel in the monster's hand comes first.

Wu Liang was already mentally prepared to face pain and death, but when he heard such an unexpected voice, he didn't seem to feel any obvious pain, just some chest tightness after suffering the shock.

next second.

"Shh!"

Wu Liang's copper dagger also swiped across the monster's arm.

"ah!"

On the contrary, the monster let out a cry of pain first, and the chisel in its hand fell into the water, and then a smear of bright red blood poured out from its arm that was also as pale as paper.

"?!"

Wu Liang was taken aback.

Before he could think about why the chisel didn't pierce his chest, the first question that popped up in Wu Liang's mind was: "Water ghosts can also bleed, and the blood is still red?"

Like most, in his understanding.

Whether it is a water ghoul or a forbidden woman, this thing is not a creature at all, but an evil thing in a special state.

Ordinary weapons can't hurt this kind of evil thing at all, let alone make this kind of creature be injured like a normal human being, and bleed red blood.

Is it...

My copper dagger is actually a magic weapon that can deal with evil things, but I didn't find it before?

These thoughts only flashed through Wu Liang's mind.

In this situation, he naturally didn't dare to be too distracted. Seeing that he was not hurt by the chisel, and that his dagger seemed to have caused some damage to the evil thing, he suddenly regained his energy and quickly swung the copper dagger again. If you stab the monster in front of you, even if you can't kill it, you have to force it back first.

However, the monster's reaction was also extremely fast.

"Wow!"

Just as Wu Liang was about to make up the knife, the monster plunged into the water again, diving into the water that was only one meter deep like a fish, and then swam away quickly.

At this moment, the water in the dark river was very turbid, and Wu Liang couldn't see the monster.

All I could see was that clump of long black hair that was still floating on the water gradually receded, and soon disappeared into the endless darkness.

"call--!"

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What followed was a severe sense of exhaustion, his legs were a little weak, and he couldn't stand even in the water.

But looking at the water not far away, there are still many "long black hair" floating gently. How dare Wu Liang stay in the water for a long time, he hurriedly returned to the shore as quickly as possible.

Go back to the shore in this way, and retrieve the Suihou Pearl that fell to the ground before.

Wu Liang rolled to the path a few meters away from the dark river, and then he lay down on his back and gasped heavily.

It's too scary...

Being able to survive this time is simply a miracle, a miracle among miracles.

Wu Liang's heart was full of joy for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and it was only at this time that he finally had time to recall the details just now.

correct?

Why didn't the monster's chisel hurt me?

Wu Liang saw very clearly just now that the chisel used by the monster was the chisel carried by the corpses in front of him. Although that kind of chisel is not very sharp, the material used is quite special, and it is no problem to go through mountains. Will it be unscathed?

Wu Liang touched his chest subconsciously.

After touching it, he suddenly finally realized the reason why he was unharmed—the brass chain mail!

It was the brass chain mail armor given to him by Wen Renzhao who had prostituted himself twice when he was in Le'an country!
Although this pair of armor is a bit old, its texture is relatively light and thin, which is very suitable for wearing under clothes and hiding it.

Although Wu Liang wasn't sure how high the defensive power of this armor was, a person like him who cherished life would wear it next to his body when going out for battle, not for anything else but to give him a sense of security in his heart.

Wu Liang took advantage of the situation and opened the clothes on his chest.

Sure enough, a shallow "one"-shaped pit was touched on the breastplate of the copper chain mail, which was caused by the unique wide and flat tip of the chisel.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Wu Liang laughed weakly, shaking his body.

People are not as good as the sky.

It seemed that I had some fate with Wen Renzhao, and this time it could be regarded as being saved by Wen Renzhao.

As for this life-saving grace... If there is a chance to meet again, let her go whoring a few more times in return, it is really cheap for her.

Smiling, Wu Liang recalled the water ghost who attacked him.

Now that he thought about it carefully, Wu Liang suddenly felt that there were several more doubts about that water ghost.

Let alone screaming and bleeding.

It even uses tools!

In Wu Liang's perception, this type of evil usually doesn't know how to use tools, especially when it hurts people. It is already the most powerful weapon. How can it use tools to hurt people?
and.

Wu Liang obviously played the mysterious small drum twice before, and the Taigong seal also came out.

According to previous experience, these two things have a relatively obvious restraint effect on evil things, so why didn't they have any effect on that water ghost?
Is it...

That water ghost is actually not an evil thing, but a person like him?
Wu Liang had almost seen the appearance of that water ghost just now, and its appearance was already very different from normal humans.

But as far as Wu Liang knew.

Even normal people, living in this kind of cave without any light for many years, their pupils will gradually dilate and their skin will gradually turn pale, so this possibility is not completely unfounded.

It's just that Wu Liang couldn't figure it out.

How did a living person live in such a cave with no light and no food for so many years, not to mention that there may be a "river god" and an unknown "headshot monster" here?
Let alone a woman?
Yes.

The water ghost has obvious gender signs.

Even if it is covered by hair, it is impossible to completely cover the two taels of flesh on the chest. Wu Liang saw it just now.

In view of the fact that there is no technology to change gender signs in this era, there will be no bloody plot of "An can tell whether I am male or female", so the water ghost is definitely a female in the true sense.

Therefore, Wu Liang's conjecture still has many loopholes, and it cannot determine the true face of the water ghost.

He just thinks.

A real water ghost shouldn't be so weak.

At least it can't be dealt with with a copper dagger. After all, people who are dragged into the water by water ghosts in folklore have never heard of anyone who can survive...

……

After lying on the cold ground for a few minutes, Wu Liang finally regained his strength.

At this moment, the clothes on his body were all soaked through, and waves of chill invaded his skin, causing him to shiver a few times.

Stand up again.

Although he still has some fears about the "long black hair" in Hanoi, he still can't convince himself to forget the dark opposite door on the other side... There is such a door in this kind of place, Wu Liang has reason to doubt the door There is a hidden hole in the future, maybe it is the Gongshuzhong he was looking for during this trip.

So hesitated for a while.

Wu Liang once again bit the bullet and came to the bank of the dark river.

Now, he told himself, he knew the depth of the dark river.

And when the "water ghost" attacked just now, the other "long black hair" did not attack in groups, and there is a high probability that the two are not the same thing.

Moreover, the underground river here is only about three meters wide. If you use your swimming starting skills, you can swim to the opposite bank with a vertical leap. The whole process only takes a few seconds. Even if there is something in the river, I'm afraid There was no time to do anything to him.

This is called "heal the scar and forget the pain".

Taking advantage of such luck to comfort himself, Wu Liang further gave full play to the fine virtue of "bold, careful, thick-skinned", and finally convinced himself, gritted his teeth and put his thoughts into action.

"Wow—!"

From entering the water to landing, it really took less than three seconds.

This time, he really did not encounter any "water ghost" attack, nor did he encounter any other accidents.

After Wu Liang landed smoothly, he finally put his heart back into his stomach, wiped his face and hair, shook off the water on his body, and walked straight to the door while carefully observing the surrounding environment with the Suihou Pearl.

There were many corpses on the ground near this door.

Wu Liang counted them carefully, and there were seventeen in total.

Different from the previous ones, the display of these seventeen corpses is very regular.

Although they were not placed neatly, they kept their heads facing outwards and their feet facing the door, forming an incomplete fan shape radially.

It felt like there was something horrible inside that door.

And these corpses were fleeing in all directions away from the door before they died.
