Tomb Keeper: My clone is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor

Chapter 177: Encountering a giant loach, Zhang Tianhao was killed, but the thirteen alchemy skills saved his life!
Just as he said this, Wu Tianqi suddenly exclaimed.

Zhang Tianqi noticed Wu Tianqi's change and quickly asked: "What's wrong?!"

Wu Tianqi did not answer her, but stared at the water below him with wide eyes in fear.

Just as he was talking, he suddenly felt something swimming under the water and brushed against his ankle.

wrong!

Wu Tianqi's heart suddenly jumped.

The thing's body temperature was very cold, like ice cubes scratching its skin.

Moreover, judging from the force of the brush just now, the size of that thing is definitely larger than that of an adult.

Not as small as those loaches at all.

There is something in the water!
Upon realizing this, Wu Tianqi immediately became alert, and at the same time, cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

He had no idea what was in the water.

But judging from the feeling, it is definitely not as simple as fish.

The force of the stroke just now was at least several dozen kilograms.

Gollum!

Wu Tianqi swallowed. He turned back and took a deep look at the river bank behind him, and then compared the direction of the tomb that was getting closer.

For a moment, Wu Tianqi had some concerns.

There is no chance to turn back now, unless you swim directly to the other side.

Thinking of this, the struggle in Wu Tianqi's eyes flashed away, and he lowered his voice and urged Zhang Tianqi and the others: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and leave!"

"There's something under the water, I don't know what it is! Swim to the other side quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tianqi immediately accelerated his speed and swam towards the other side without saying a word.

Zhang Tianqi and the others immediately realized something was wrong when they saw Wu Tianqi's anxious expression.

As a result, everyone's expressions became serious, and they all caught up with Wu Tianqi's back without saying a word.

At the same time, Zhang Tianhao couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Brother Wu, what did you find?"

"I don't know, there must be something underwater!"

Wu Tianqi said without looking back. After recalling the feeling just now, he continued to urge: "Don't worry about it, hurry up and leave!"

"I just felt something hit me under the water! Although I didn't realize what it was, the thing was at least two meters in size!"

"If you continue to stay here, you will definitely die, so hurry up and leave!"

Is there something underwater? !

Hearing Wu Tianqi's explanation, Zhang Tianhao's heart skipped a beat.

In just an instant, the chill shot up from the soles of his feet to the sky.

So, he said nothing more.

With the will to survive, everyone speeded up more than a little.

Wu Tianqi has explained it clearly enough. If they still don't understand, then they are really tomb robbers for nothing.

Therefore, everyone increased their speed to the fastest and tried to shorten the time to land as much as possible.

hurry up!

hurry up!

Seeing that the distance was gradually shortening, Wu Tianqi shouted anxiously in his heart.

But although their speed is fast, their paddling tendency is not that fierce.

I don’t know what’s under the water.

If the movement is too big in this unknown situation, it may attract the attention of that thing.

Therefore, Wu Tianqi and others pressed their bodies as much as possible into the water.

Use snorkeling to swim forward as quickly as possible.

For a moment, no one could see the waves caused by his hands and feet on the water.

At this time, everyone in the exploration bureau became confused when they saw Wu Tianqi and the others suddenly speeding up.

"What happened? What happened to them?"

"There's something underwater again! They looked so ugly just now. It seems like the things underwater are not simple!"

Zhang Tianqi was in no mood to explain to the inquiries from everyone in the Exploration Bureau.

She just wanted to get ashore as soon as possible and leave these unknown waters.

Unfortunately, the river bank in front only looks relatively close, but the real distance is not that simple.

I believe some people have also encountered this situation.

Some landmarks look close, but when you walk past them, you go further and further away.

This is called Wangshan running to death, and this is the situation Wu Tianqi and the others are in now.

As they moved forward at full speed, after about seven or eight minutes, everyone finally arrived relatively close to the river bank.

But the danger is that their physical strength is now severely exhausted.

Zhang Tianqi felt a little unable to swim underwater.

"Brother Wu! Poof"

At this moment, Zhang Tianqi's exclamation suddenly came from behind Wu Tianqi.

He turned around subconsciously and saw Zhang Tianqi splashing on the water.

It turned out that it was because I was too exhausted and choked on water.

"Done!"

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi cursed secretly and hurriedly turned around and swam over.

When he came to her, Wu Tianqi was immediately caught by Zhang Tianqi.

When people are drowning, they will unconsciously grab the objects around them and flutter. In dangerous situations, they may even drown.

Knowing this, Wu Tianqi tried his best to drag her up to the water and yelled at the same time: "Calm down! Take a deep breath!"

After receiving Wu Tianqi's instructions, Zhang Tianqi finally calmed down and coughed violently while breathing heavily.

Seeing her performance like this, Wu Tianqi could only sigh helplessly.

indeed!

This nearly two kilometers of waterway is not something ordinary people can complete.

Zhang Tianqi had not drowned until now, and her physical fitness was already far beyond that of ordinary people.

Not to mention her, even she feels like she is running out of strength now.

But we still don’t know what’s under the water, and they all have to leave as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Wu Tianqi lowered his heart and said in a low voice: "Hold on for a few more minutes and swim to the shore quickly!"

With that said, Wu Tianqi asked Zhang Tianqi, who was good at water, to catch Zhang Tianqi, and he let go of his hand and swam straight forward.

no way.

At this time, he already felt that the water was getting more and more dangerous.

No matter how cautious he was this time, he was still a little careless.

This is the only underground lake before entering the main tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum. The mechanisms here cannot be said to be naturally formed, but should be the last hurdle before the tomb site.

One can imagine how terrifying the things used to protect the Tomb of the First Emperor must be.

Must leave as soon as possible!

Realizing this, Wu Tianqi gritted his teeth and persisted.

At the same time, he also looked towards the surrounding water.

It seemed that in this water area, there was a huge creature staring at them from an invisible place.

"where?!"

For a moment, Wu Tianqi didn't even dare to move.

He was afraid that the slightest movement would attract things underwater.

At this time, Zhang Tianqi was about to swim over, but Wu Tianqi stopped him with his eyes.

She quickly gestured to Wu Tianqi, and Wu Tianqi subconsciously turned his head to look at the water on the left.

I saw a huge shadow slowly approaching under the water three or four meters away from them.

Looks like a giant anaconda!
Although I couldn't see clearly what it was, the shadow was as big as a buffalo.

Just when Wu Tianqi and the others turned around, the things under the water slowly surfaced.

The first thing that appeared was a piece of skin with a black luster, followed by the eyes on both sides of the head that first emerged from the water.

Under the light of the waves on the water, it looks like two humanized bull's eyes that are breathtaking.

In an instant, everyone felt as if their whole bodies were filled with lead and were numb.

Everyone realized that this was the fear of being targeted by an apex predator that was much more powerful than themselves.

It was at this moment that Wu Tianqi suddenly felt that the water around him seemed to be rioting.

The water level pushed him back one meter, and then he felt something rising from the shadows directly in front of him.

Whoa!

As tons of lake water rolled up from the surface, things under the surface suddenly rioted.

He suddenly stood up from under the water, and a huge shadow appeared directly above Wu Tianqi's head.

Whoa!

In an instant, a large splash of water hit Wu Tianqi's face, almost knocking him into the water.

But at this time, Wu Tianqi almost forgot to dodge, and endured the slap of water pressure all his life, trying hard to open his eyes and look above his head.

hiss!
Wu Tianqi immediately gasped and lit up. When he saw clearly what was in front of him, he felt that the scalp all over his body was about to explode.

What he saw above his head, more than one meter high, was an upper body as huge as a buffalo.

A head with no discernible difference in thickness on its neck, lowering its head like a python.

Humanized dark eyes stared at the few people on the water.

The mouth of that thing was very wide, and the mandible was cracked by at least dozens of centimeters.

Wu Tianqi had no doubt that it could swallow a large living person in one bite.

Looking down its mandible, you can see that its body with black patterns was directly submerged in the water.

There seemed to be some scales reflecting the light on the dark, smooth skin.

What kind of big python is this!

This is a giant loach that has become a spirit!
"This!"

Wu Tianqi couldn't bear it anymore and exclaimed.

He felt like he was going crazy!
Can a loach grow bigger than an anaconda? !
This is definitely a sperm!

At this time, Zhang Tianqi and the others also saw clearly the creatures in front of them.

In an instant, cold sweat flowed from everyone's body.

Moreover, since they were not facing the giant loach like Wu Tianqi, they could not feel the intuitive impact!
Therefore, everyone responded first.

"Run!"

"Brother Wu, run quickly!"

With everyone shouting, they all swam desperately in the direction of Wu Tianqi without saying a word.

Wu Tianqi was also suddenly woken up by the exclamation.

He almost instinctively shouted in the direction of Zhang Tianqi: "Don't come over here!"

At this moment, following Wu Tianqi's shout, the loach finally made a move.

The huge head sank, and the body was slammed into the water like a depth charge.

moment!

The waves on the originally calm lake surface rolled, and the loach disappeared directly under the lake surface.

It was only then that the people in the Exploration Bureau recovered from the horrific scene just now.

Recalling the terrifying creature that I had just seen clearly, the exploration bureau immediately exploded.

"What is this?! Bigger than a cow?!"

"Is it an anaconda? But anacondas aren't that big!"

"This is a loach that has become a spirit!"

At this moment, everyone in the Exploration Bureau was so frightened that their faces turned pale.

After Wu Tianqi suddenly woke up from the shock just now, he bit his tongue hard.

As the smell of blood spread in his mouth, a heartbreaking pain allowed him to regain control of his body.

Immediately, Wu Tianqi found the direction of the shore and rushed over without saying a word.

This time, he could no longer afford to act lightly.

He saw the scene clearly!

Although he didn't know how there could be such a big loach underwater, the fear of being targeted by an apex predator had already spread in his mind.

No!

go now!
If you don't get ashore, you'll die!
Realizing this, Wu Tianqi swam forward in a hurry.

At this time, Zhang Tianqi also caught up with Wu Tianqi's back and shouted in a fearful voice: "Brother Wu, what's going on!"

"Don't talk nonsense, everyone get ashore quickly!"

Wu Tianqi didn’t even want to say anything!
Although loaches are not carnivores, who knows if the underwater things that grow so big are still loaches.

But just as he finished speaking, Wu Tianqi's heart went cold.

Because he suddenly felt that his calf seemed to be covered by something cold.

Based on the feeling, Wu Tianqi felt as if there was a tube wrapped around his calf.

And, that thing is fast.

In less than half a second, Wu Tianqi felt that the feeling of being trapped had spread to the crook of his legs.

"what!"

For a moment, Wu Tianqi felt cold all over his body.

No need to ask, everyone knows that his calf must have been swallowed by the loach.

Without giving him any time to react in the next second, an irresistible force directly pulled his whole body downwards.

"Run away!"

Wu Tianqi only had time to shout out two words before his whole body was dragged down into the lake by the force.

moment!

Wu Tianqi's figure disappeared completely on the water, and nothing could be seen.

The water temperature under the surface was not cold, but Wu Tianqi felt that his whole body was freezing cold.

This was because the thing that was swallowing his calf was dragging him to swim quickly underwater, causing the temperature to drop rapidly.

He didn't expect the attack to come so quickly just now.

Being brought into the water in a crisis, he immediately choked and drank several large mouthfuls of lake water.

Fortunately, Wu Tianqi quickly came to his senses and grabbed the bitten calf with both hands to prevent the leg bone from being broken.

Finished!

Dead!
The moment he was dragged into the water, Wu Tianqi felt that he was dead.

But his survival instinct kept him from giving up. He bit his tongue hard and barely regained his senses.

Immediately afterwards, without saying a word, he took out the family heirloom sword, pointed it at his feet and stabbed it hard.

Pfft!

With the cutting touch, Wu Tianqi suddenly felt his feet being released, and then he swam up desperately without saying a word!

puff~
Finally, Wu Tianqi finally rushed out of the water when he could no longer hold on, but Zhang Tianqi and the others panicked the moment Wu Tianqi was dragged into the water.

Now that they saw that Wu Tianqi was fine, everyone almost cried with joy.

"Don't stand still, run!"

At this time, Zhang Tianhao was the first to react and immediately shouted loudly.

But the next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw a huge figure suddenly appeared behind Wu Tianqi, and the big loach opened its bloody mouth and bit at Wu Tianqi.Damn it!

Wu Tianqi was startled and realized that one of the big loach's eyes had just been pierced by him.

Now, it has gone into a frenzy.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi came to his senses and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the big loach's other eye.

Pfft!

In an instant, his fists were inserted into the loach's eye sockets.

But then, he was knocked away by a huge force.

boom!
But in the next second, a huge explosion suddenly sounded.

It's gunshots!
Wu Tianqi was attracted by the sound of gunfire. He clasped Loach's eyes with one hand while looking for the sound.

Immediately, he saw Zhang Tianqi on the water more than ten meters away, looking here with a shotgun.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi became more and more anxious.

If this continues, more people will die.

It seems that there is not necessarily only one giant loach in the water.

Realizing this, Wu Tianqi shouted directly in the direction of everyone at the top of his lungs: "Let's go! Let's go ashore!"

Zhang Tianqi was still subconsciously pulling the trigger, but suddenly heard Wu Tianqi's shrill urging.

She immediately looked towards Wu Tianqi and saw Wu Tianqi being dragged by the giant loach on the water and choking on the water.

Seeing this scene, she was also extremely anxious.

They were all from the Nine Sects. How could they leave Wu Tianqi and escape on their own now?

So, Zhang Tianqi and others quickly swam towards Wu Tianqi!

"Brother Wu! Where should we go?!"

"You're like this, can we leave by ourselves?!"

"I'm sorry! Are you leaving?!"

But as soon as they finished speaking, Wu Tianqi started to curse.

Suddenly, Zhang Tianqi even froze on the spot.

She was not Wu Tianqi, so she had no idea of ​​the danger of being bitten by that loach.

At this moment, only Wu Tianqi could feel that he was really dead now.

Now it doesn't matter how many people come.

The more people come, the more people die.

On the contrary, if he was alone, he might be able to find a chance to stand up and give the loach a fatal blow.

So, seeing that everyone had no tendency to leave, Wu Tianqi could hardly help but yelled: "Go away! Everyone get ashore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tianqi quickly clasped Loach's eye sockets and stuffed his fist inside.

This giant loach is simply a bastard!

I don’t know why even my eyes were blinded by myself, but I still wouldn’t let go!
But how could Zhang Tianqi and the others leave at this time?

Especially Zhang Tianhao, he even rushed towards this direction.

"Brother Wu!"

Zhang Tianhao directly used his alchemy skills, and his whole body's strength increased dramatically!
The next moment, he directly strangled the loach's gills, forcing the loach to let go of Wu Tianqi.

But in the next second, the loach turned around and bit him, then suddenly turned its head towards the lake below and plunged into the lake.

Boom!

As huge waves exploded on the lake, Wu Tianqi was saved.

But Zhang Tianhao was held hostage by the loach and dived directly into the lake, disappearing in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Exploration Bureau was so excited that their ears turned red.

At the same time, Zhang Tianqi and the others were completely stunned.

Not only because of the terrifying scene just now, but also Wu Tianqi’s urging shout just now was still ringing in everyone’s ears.

But no one expected that Zhang Tianhao would be dragged down instead.

"Go!"

At this time, Wu Tianqi was the first to react and loudly urged everyone.

This is not because he is cold-blooded, but because he knows that if he doesn’t leave at this time, more people will die!
He wants to keep as many people alive as possible!

For a moment, everyone looked at him.

Should we go or not?
go!
After hesitating for a few seconds, everyone immediately made a decision.

They know this is not the time to act on impulse.

If they continue to stay here, not only will they not be able to save Zhang Tianhao, but more people will die.

What's more important is that if, as Wu Tianqi guessed, there is more than one giant loach under this lake.
Thinking of this, everyone almost felt a chill running down their spines.

They stared at the surrounding lake with fearful eyes, then turned around and swam towards the opposite bank with their hearts set on their hearts.

hurry up!

hurry up!

For a moment, Wu Tianqi shouted anxiously in his heart, and the movements of his hands almost reached the fastest speed.

Their original location was already only a few dozen meters away from the river bank, and the closer they got, the more anxious they became.

The moment they approached the river bank, everyone climbed up almost using their hands and feet.

Then, they seemed to have lost all strength and collapsed directly on the rocks.

At the same time, Zhang Tianhao had been carried by the giant loach and fell into an unknown depth of water.

As the loach continued to shuttle under the water, Zhang Tianhao felt that his strength was rapidly draining from his body.

No!

Can't let go!

He was shouting anxiously in his heart.

He knew that once he let go of his hand, he didn't know how miserable he would die.

No matter how hard the loach struggled, he had to persevere.

Only in this way can we find the opportunity to kill with one strike.

As a result, Zhang Tianhao's fingers, which were slightly loose just now, immediately tightened their grip.

But the current with great resistance around him also made him almost lose his way.

In panic, Zhang Tianhao was hit by the water and opened his mouth.

The lake water quickly poured into his mouth as if it was under atmospheric pressure.

Zhang Tianhao accidentally choked on the lake water and even coughed heavily.

But he knew that he was not on the lake now.

As a result, Zhang Tianhao actually endured the urge to cough.

Then continue to hold on to the gills of the loach and try to maintain your balance.

Time passes minute by minute...
Zhang Tianhao gradually began to feel signs of suffocation.

At the same time, the burning sensation of lake water choking the air intake pipe made him almost give up.

But he endured it anyway.

2 minutes have passed!

3 minutes have passed!

Zhang Tianhao felt as if his chest was about to explode. The strong sense of suffocation made his lungs feel like they were on fire, and his eyesight turned black.

But the loach still showed no tendency to stop, and was still struggling vigorously underwater.

What the hell!
This is because you sincerely want me to die!

Realizing that Loach had no tendency to exhaust himself, Zhang Tianhao's heart went cold.

At the same time, the idea of ​​​​going ashore became more and more urgent.

If it had been a few minutes, or even seconds, he might have died under the water of the lake.

How to do?
How to do?
What else can be done?
At this moment, Zhang Tianhao really felt like he was going to die underwater.

This loach has no tendency to exhaust itself and seems to be able to struggle for a long time.

He was almost thrown off for a moment.

But after feeling his fingers relax a little, Zhang Tianhao quickly tightened them again.

At the same time, his left hand, which had nowhere to scratch, clamped hard on the gills of the loach.

puff!

Suddenly, where Zhang Tianhao's left hand was holding, there seemed to be a sharp blade-like object that cut his palm.

Zhang Tianhao felt that what he caught in his hand seemed to be a scaly object.

But he didn't have time to think about it and didn't dare to let go. Instead, he grabbed it harder.

Because he had to persevere, and the pain could divert his attention from suffocation to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, the giant loach still showed no signs of fatigue.

As time gradually passed, Zhang Tianhao felt that his heart was about to burst.

No!

about to die!
Zhang Tianhao suddenly realized that if he continued like this, he would really be dead.

The strong feeling of suffocation made him almost faint.

But no matter how painful he was, he didn't seem to really faint.

Suddenly, Zhang Tianhao suddenly realized that he had been holding his breath underwater for nearly 6 minutes.

If it is an ordinary person, let alone 6 minutes, one and a half minutes is probably the limit.

What's more important is that he is not holding his breath when his body is still, but is vigorously moving with the loach at all times.

Holding your breath during this high-intensity exercise is equivalent to anaerobic.

Something is wrong!
Realizing this, Zhang Tianhao quickly forced himself to calm down.

Bear the urgency in your heart and carefully analyze the current situation.

Although his lungs felt like they were on fire, why didn't he really faint?

etc.
It's the inner alchemy Kung Fu he has practiced since he was a child!
Correct!
It’s inner alchemy Kung Fu!

Suddenly, Zhang Tianhao remembered that he could actually hold his breath underwater for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhao suppressed the dull feeling in his heart.

Then, he firmly grasped the loach's eye sockets with both hands, trying to confirm this conjecture with actual actions.

Time gradually passed.

After about 3 minutes, Zhang Tianhao finally confirmed this possibility.

Although he still felt a strong sense of suffocation, he still had no signs of fainting or loss of strength.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhao steeled himself and continued fighting with the loach.

Now is not the time to worry about these things, the things in front of you are the most important.

So, as he continued to endure, the loach, which struggled for nearly ten minutes, finally gave out.

The twisting body began to slow down.

How could Zhang Tianhao miss such a good opportunity?

So, he grabbed the fish's gills with his left hand and pulled out the military dagger with his right hand.

But Zhang Tianhao did not rush to take action, but carefully found the loach's head.

He knew that at times like this, he needed to remain calm in order to kill with one strike.

After finding the location three inches behind the loach's head, General Zhang Tianhao stabbed it in, then stabbed it in with all his strength.

Suddenly, the sharp three-edged thorn directly pierced the loach's skull.

Stab into its brain.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tianhao did not give it time to react.

He held the military spur tightly and stirred it for a while, turning the loach's brain into paste.

In an instant, bright red blood spurted out from the loach's body, gradually turning the surrounding waters red.

Loach's body, which was originally full of strength, quickly became weak.

At this time, Zhang Tianhao couldn't bear it anymore.

After pulling away, he raised his head and rushed towards the water above without missing a moment.

At this moment, Zhang Tianqi and the others could hardly wait any longer on the river bank.

The people who had just regained some strength immediately used their flashlights to shine on the lake behind them.

But unfortunately, there was no movement on the lake.

Moreover, even the light tied to Zhang Tianhao's head can no longer be seen.

As a result, everyone could only wait anxiously on the shore.

But as time passed, the urgency in their hearts became heavier and heavier.

During this process, Zhang Tianqi and the others even wanted to jump down to rescue Zhang Tianhao several times.

But they were all stopped by Wu Tianqi.

As time goes by
After nearly ten minutes, everyone finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The tension and regret in their hearts almost crushed themselves.

Everyone knows that no matter how magical Zhang Tianhao is, he is still an ordinary person.

Almost no one can hold their breath underwater for more than ten minutes.

But Zhang Tianhao hasn't come up after so long, which can only mean that he has been killed.

"No, I want to go down!"

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Tianqi gritted his teeth and turned around to jump.

But at this moment, everyone's flashlights suddenly caught the bright red color on the lake more than ten meters away.

is blood? !
Suddenly, Zhang Tianqi's pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw that the color of the blood gradually dyed the water area within seven or eight meters red.

And it is still spreading gradually.

Seeing the water gradually turning red with blood, everyone became more and more nervous.

With such a large amount of blood spilled, you don't need to ask to know the reason.

"Oops!"

Suddenly, Zhang Tianqi secretly screamed that something was wrong.

If it was as she guessed, Zhang Tianhao might have been killed.

"Zhang Tianhao! Where are you!"

For a moment, Zhang Tianqi couldn't help shouting towards the dim lake.

At this moment, the people in the Exploration Bureau also realized that something was wrong.

Seeing the lake in the distance gradually turning red, people couldn't sit still.

"What's going on? What happened to Zhang Tianhao!"

"No, why is the lake turned red? Was he in trouble?"

"Wait, something's wrong! What is that?"

At this moment, the people in the Exploration Bureau suddenly saw something was wrong in the lake in front of them.

At this time, Wu Tianqi and the others also used the flashlight to see a faint light in the red-dyed lake water, which was slowly lighting up from under the lake.

"That's it? Flashlight light!"

Upon noticing the abnormality, Wu Tianqi immediately became alert.

Immediately afterwards, he discovered that the light became more intense, and it turned out to be Zhang Tianhao's flashlight tied to his head.
