Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 195 The pit is 056 meters deep
Xiao Qian ignored her teasing.And on his cool and watery face, there was no trace of fear, so his motive for approaching her seemed somewhat protective.

But Mo Jiu didn't see it that way.

She stretched out an elbow solemnly, "Here, can I help you? Embolden yourself."

Xiao Qian glanced at her indifferently, and looked away, as if he didn't want to pay attention to her nonsense, that noble body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of cold air, and strangers were written all over it.

"Shijun, Master Ninth, look!" Chi Xitu opened his eyes wide, pointed at the pool of water and shouted, "There are monsters in the water! There are monsters moving!"

The others backed away.

Mo Jiu's heart raised her throat, but she approached the pool.

The scenery and light were not enough, but she could still vaguely see a few dark things near the pool.Its head is lying flat in the pool, and its body shape is somewhat similar to that of a lizard, but it is several times larger than that of a lizard. Its tail is curved and has obvious skin folds.

It's them crying "Wow".

She breathed a sigh of relief and realized, "Don't be afraid, it's not a baby crying, it's a giant salamander. The cry of this thing resembles a baby. In our place, it's called a 'baby fish'. What do you call it here? Mermaid? Baby fish?"

This fish is not common, but most people have heard of it.

After listening to her explanation, everyone was relieved.

"Where did the monster come from? It turned out to be a mermaid."

"Chi Xi is so timid!"

"Haha, girls."

"Go away, you bitch, you're the only bitch!"

A group of people started joking. From the time when they entered the tomb and heard the baby crying, their hearts were almost down. In addition to laughter, there were also whispers in the team.

Everyone is discussing why there is a mermaid in the tomb.If the person who built the tomb feeds them, then in this dark tomb, how do they survive and what do they eat.You know, mermaids are carnivorous...

"Wow! Not good." At this time, a soldier of the Imperial Army who was curious to see the mermaid landed on the wind lantern, as if he saw something terrible, his eyes were wide open, staring at the pool water, "Mr. There are a lot of dead people... a lot of dead people's...bones..."

There was a faint foul smell in the room, but there was no smell of blood.

After hearing his cry, the people went closer to the pool to check, but they all fell silent.There are indeed many dead people in this pool, but the human flesh has been eaten by mermaids, leaving only human bones of different sizes and parts, as well as broken clothes and sundries that cannot be distinguished by color.

Mo Jiu finally understood why the compass kept turning the needle.

"These people died in vain. No wonder... However, salamanders usually only bark when they are hungry." She turned her head to look at the crowd, and analyzed: "It seems that no one has fed them for a long time... But these dead people, When was it thrown inside to feed the fish?"

"My lord, go down and have a look!" Xue Fang is young, but he is bolder than those soldiers of the Imperial Army.In addition, he is highly skilled, and he is Xiao Qian's personal bodyguard, so he will approach the pool of water when he is ordered to do so.

Soon, he hooked a token with his iron claws.

With a sound of "dang", the token fell on the bluestone ground.

Xiao Qian squatted down and asked someone to shine a lantern on it.

There are rust marks on the token, but it can still be judged.

"Transportation soldier! It is the token of the transfer soldier."

The first person to call out was Xue Fang.

Then, he said again: "Master, I remember that when Xie Bingsheng was a transfer envoy, there were several incidents where bandits robbed the road or were harassed by the people of the country on the way of transferring soldiers to pay and deliver supplies, especially in the year of Ding You. , More than 100 transfer soldiers disappeared, and the officials were furious at that time, and ordered an investigation. In the end, this matter was counted on the head of the people... Could it be that they were the transfer soldiers who died at that time?"
