Mystery Leaks

Chapter 261
"Refreshing!" The bald middle-aged man smiled and said, "In that case, we will watch and help each other later, and we will advance and retreat together."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and led the people to squat on the other side, lurking down.

I frowned slightly and asked Huang Mao: "Is it okay to promise them like this?"

"We have been discovered, and there is no other way but to promise. This matter was originally a case of taking a chestnut out of the fire. Now that the two sides have joined forces, it has not made our situation worse." Huang Mao said.

I nodded, the reason is so reasonable, but I feel awkward.

"We'll play by ear later, Fashixing is also a quack, and there are countless intrigues in it, and now that the situation has changed drastically, it will be even more dangerous." Hu Lai said.

At this time, although the iron chain was pulling slowly, it never stopped. Halfway through, the pool was completely boiling, as if it was connected to an underground river, and the spout was getting higher and higher.

The pulling force of the iron chain became stronger and stronger, and the ghost boy kept ordering the water ghosts to go into the water, as if all the water ghosts in the underground river had been recruited.

Not long after, a white coffin was slowly lifted out of the water. What was shocking was that an unknown monster was sucked under the coffin.

It looked like an octopus, with more than a dozen tentacles, thick as human thighs. It rolled up on the coffin, and when it came out of the water, it frantically attacked the ghosts above.More than [-] water ghosts have already been curled up on its tentacles, and they are being crushed into a ball, screaming "squeaky".

The scene fell into chaos for a while, and Gui Tongzi hurriedly organized a group of ghosts to block it, because the tentacles of the water monster were reaching for the winch.

If the winch breaks, the coffin will fall back to the bottom of the pool.

"I'll go, it's a worm!" Hu Lai's eyes burst into a flash of light.

"Soft worm?" I took a look, and it really is, although this thing looks like an octopus, but its head is a round meat ball, and its whole body is translucent, like a large jelly.

And its eyes cannot be seen, it is obviously a creature that lives in the dark river all year round.

"Why does it suck under the coffin, Guardian Beast?" I asked hastily.

"There must be something in the coffin that attracts it. This kind of soft worm is a different type of worm, and its number is very rare. It is different from ordinary big worms. They prefer to live in the deep sea and are difficult to catch. Their bodies are soft and can easily Even if you go with the tide, it’s hard to notice it.” Hu Lai’s eyes lit up, and he said, “This kind of zerg can only be found by a master worm hunter.”

I nodded. When the bug driver chases the big bug, he relies on detecting the movement and the fluctuation of the water pattern in the ground. Lost, because you don't know when it will run away.

And this kind of soft-bodied insect can shrink up and float along the current. Its body is soft, and it will not make any movement even if it touches the river, so the difficulty of tracking can be imagined.

"This looks like a white jade coffin?" Cao Nan asked.

"It's hard to say. There were still many strange things in the pre-Qin period. It's hard to tell just by the color." Huang Mao shook his head.

At this time, Guitongzi finally had the upper hand, blocked the soft worm's crazy attack, and stabbed the soft worm with a spear made of white bones, and several tentacles were also pressed to the ground, trying to cut it off.

The worm suddenly screamed, making a low-volume but extremely ear-piercing sound; it was as if someone had pierced the eardrum with a needle.

And it's useless to cover your ears, the penetrating power is terrifying.I just felt dizzy in my head, and felt like I was going to pass out.

The group of ghosts suddenly fell into disarray, obviously being greatly affected.

But the soft worm only persisted for a few breaths, then fell into the water with a "plop" and escaped.

Obviously, this cold pool really leads directly to the underground river, otherwise it would have no reason to appear.

Under Jinpen Mountain, there seems to be a huge underground water system, and many outlets lead to underground rivers. I don't know why, and what is the point.

Without the trouble of the soft bugs, the ghost group quickly moved the white coffin to the ground, untied the iron chain, and wanted to take the coffin away.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

At this moment, at the position opposite us, a rain of arrows shot towards the ghost group, which can be called a thousand arrows.

The group of ghosts who had just restored order suddenly became chaotic, and the surroundings of the white coffin became a fire focus area, and some vicious ghosts who looked very fierce were directly shot and exploded.

Suddenly the surrounding area was emptied.

If the ghost boy hadn't reacted quickly, he would almost have been tricked.

"Damn, who is this, so tough?" Cao Nan said in surprise.

Huang Mao looked solemn, shook his head, and looked at the bald middle-aged man.

The balding middle-aged man seemed to expect that we would ask, and said: "This is a member of the Southern Law Association. The weapons are provided by the sect."

"No wonder you're so rich and powerful!" Cao Nan was speechless. The Zongjue was relying on officials, and this kind of resources were beyond the reach of ordinary tomb robbers and legal organizations.

My heart skipped a beat.

The Southern Dharma Association, isn't that the Dharma Guild that Grandpa once joined?Sai Yu'er is now the leader of the Southern Law Association stationed in Jinpen Mountain.

I don't know how to define this guild, whether it is good or bad, I feel that there should be something to ask for, but not without a bottom line.

Now the ghosts saw that there was something wrong with the contract they made, the ghost clan was about to make a move, and the originally neutral clan tribunal had to do something about it.It was an obvious example that the Zongzai moved the golden coffin to the secret storehouse before, but this time, although it didn't directly take action, it provided the Southern Law Association with Yanbronze crossbow arrows, which is even more obvious.

Many things are mixed together, resulting in an increasingly complicated situation.

What makes me even more puzzled is, since the Southern Law Association and the Zongjiao have jointly joined forces, why didn't they tell us, is it to guard against us?To put it more bluntly, is it me?

I instinctively thought of Lu Ningxiang, could it be because of my relationship with Lu Ningxiang?

The last time I was in the secret vault of the Zongcha Office, I instinctively concealed the fact that Lu Ningxiang was there, and only mentioned King Ba, maybe it was the sequelae of that concealment.

Of course, these are just conjectures, without any substantive evidence, they just turned into thoughts that flashed through my mind.

Soon, the ghost boy began to organize a group of ghosts to counterattack, and quickly swarmed towards the positions of the crossbow arrows.

But at this moment, another direction jumped up and kept ambush. They were more direct, directly fighting each other, and rushed over.

When I saw it, my scalp felt numb!

Good guy!
Before, it was as quiet as death here, but there were so many people in ambushes, at least hundreds of people were organized by the Southern Law Association!
And we didn't find them at all before, we just found the tomb robber by mistake.

Taking chestnuts from the fire, the fire seems to be a little bigger!
At this scene, even the bald middle-aged man's expression changed.

"Damn it, if we rush in, won't we be directly flooded?" Cao Nan's mouth twitched, if he had to keep quiet, he would have scolded his mother.

"Don't worry, the mouse pulls the wooden shovel, the big head is behind." Huang Mao stared down, glanced at the tomb robber, and turned his mouth to us: insect control master.

We looked at each other and nodded; the insect repellent hiding in the dark hadn't appeared yet, so we still had to watch.

These dozens of people roared loudly, their blood and masculinity soared to the sky, and they rushed into the group of ghosts like a storm.

Immediately, people hissed and roared, and the scene became chaotic.

The flaming copper crossbow arrows pouring from above never let go of the cover around the coffin, even if the ghost boy organized a group of ghosts to sweep away the coffin.

Moreover, the ghost group was divided into two parts and was completely flanked.

"Look, Sai Yuer's bodyguard is here!" Cao Nan pointed to one of the positions with sharp eyes.

I hastily picked up my binoculars and looked over. Sure enough, he was holding two whips and rushed to the front position. He was very brave to block people and kill people. He was very brave.

"This is probably the first organized melee between humans and ghosts in thousands of years. I'm afraid there is something really wrong with the human-ghost contract." Hu Lai's face was particularly serious.

"Could it have completely failed?" Huang Mao said.

"The human-ghost contract involves heavenly secrets, and it is not something ordinary people can inquire about, but judging from this scene, I am afraid it is really possible that even the Zongchao, which has always been neutral and cautious, has torn off its coat; of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Zongzai is It's revenge for the attack on the secret storehouse last time." Hu Lai said slowly.

Huangmao nodded, paying close attention to the battle below.

At this moment, the group of ghosts was already at a disadvantage, especially in the left-behind part. The Southern Fahui had obviously dispatched elite bodyguards like Sai Yuer, who were doing mental calculations or not intentionally, and the ghost boy's position was completely messed up.
