Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 31

Sure enough, not long after Professor Ye finished speaking, more than a dozen pairs of big dirty hands stretched out towards the emerald luminous cup.Those savages scrambled to take the emerald luminous cup as their own.

Mr. Goat yelled sharply: "Don't grab it! Stop it! Don't grab it!"

Originally, Mr. Goat was very prestigious in the minds of these savages, but at this moment, these savages were all dazzled by desire. They frantically grabbed the treasures in their backpacks, and eventually even fought each other. , the whole fishing boat began to shake violently, and the scene was in chaos.

We suddenly understood Professor Ye's intentions. It turned out that Professor Ye used a small trick, and a simple sentence easily stimulated the greedy desires in the hearts of these barbarians, causing them to fight each other and weakening the strength of their own team.We don't even need to do it, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to win the final victory.

I looked at Professor Ye adoringly, he was like a god in my mind!

The weakness of human nature is greed. When greedy desires outweigh reason, they will act crazy.

The backpack full of treasures made the eyes of these savages red. They are the lower class working people living a hard life. Now the opportunity to get rich overnight is in front of them, and no one wants to let go of this opportunity.Even if they risk their lives, they will not hesitate.

At first they just wanted to snatch the most precious emerald luminous cup, but in the end, they were completely dazzled by the benefits.They all want to kill each other and snatch as much wealth as possible, and one less person can get a smaller share of the pie, so a bloody killing is soon staged.

The barbarian who took the lead pulled out his waist knife first, his eyes were red, and he chopped down the companion standing in front of him with a knife. Blood splashed on the emerald luminous cup, revealing a strange beauty.The barbarian in the lead smiled, and stretched out his hand to snatch the emerald luminous cup. The other two people next to him screamed strangely, and they all drew their knives and rushed over, fighting with the barbarian in the lead.

thump!thump!
People kept falling into the water, screams came from the fishing boat, and the splashed blood stained the deck red, dripping slowly along the edge of the deck.

The greed of human nature is vividly interpreted by these savages. We look away and stop looking at their ugly faces.We are not cold-blooded animals, but at this moment we feel unspeakably happy in our hearts. In Gu Meidi's words, these people deserve what they deserve, and death is not a pity.

What's even more ridiculous is that the two savages who were originally responsible for monitoring Grandpa on the shore couldn't stand it anymore after seeing such a scene, for fear that if they went too late, they wouldn't be able to catch any treasures.So the two savages left their grandfather behind, jumped on the fishing boat, and chug over to join the battle group.

"A group of idiots!" Mr. Goat flicked his clothes, and pulled out a black flag from his back. The flag was painted with densely packed runes. Those runes were all bright red, forming a sharp contrast with the black flag. The comparison is extremely weird.

I saw Mr. Goat constantly waving the flag and chanting words.

A thick black mist suddenly floated on the icy water, and then, a horrifying scene appeared.Countless people emerged from the water silently, standing upright in the water like wooden stakes, their faces showing a terrifying dead gray.

I opened my mouth wide in horror, not understanding where these people came from.

Gu Meidi quietly told me that the people in the water are not people, but—the undead!
Then she looked at Mr. Goat, with a strange look in her eyes, and whispered to herself: "I actually met a spiritual master here!"

"What is a spiritualist?" I asked.

Gu Mei Di didn't explain too much, just said lightly: "One of the Jiuli people!"

The scene at this time was very strange. Hundreds of "people" suddenly appeared in the cold pool, staring lifelessly at the strong men who were scrambling for treasures.There were expressions of fear on the faces of the people, and they subconsciously stopped fighting.

"Ghost! Ghost!" Someone screamed and swam desperately to the side of the boat.

But it was too late, the undead in the water suddenly stretched out their arms, and hundreds of pairs of pale dead hands tightly wrapped around those struggling to escape.A dozen sturdy men could not move in the water. Amidst a burst of mournful wailing, the undead dragged these strong men and slowly sank into the water.

The black mist dissipated, leaving nothing on the surface of the water, and dozens of fresh lives disappeared in a blink of an eye.

I shuddered, looked at Mr. Goat with deep fear, and thought to myself: "Fortunately, I didn't provoke this evil star just now!"

There were also a few men standing on the boat, who immediately dropped their weapons, knelt down and kowtowed to Mr. Goat: "Mr. Goat, please forgive me! Mr. Goat, please forgive me!"

Taking advantage of the chaos below, Professor Ye urged us to leave this place as soon as possible. This is the best time for us to escape the predicament and danger.

We were about to turn around and leave when Gu Mei Di suddenly grabbed my hand from behind: "Wait, did you hear any strange noise?"

I shivered suddenly: "Miss, don't be surprised, it's scary!"

"Shh! Don't talk!" Gu Meidi raised his fingers and remained silent for a few seconds, then pointed to the ancient Xixia corpse lying in the coffin: "The sound seems to come from the body of the ancient corpse!"

"No way?" I looked at Gu Mei Di suspiciously, then bent down, and gently pressed my ear to the stomach of the ancient corpse.At this time, as expected, a strange sound of gurgling came from inside the ancient corpse.

I was startled, straightened up quickly, and blurted out: "There is something in the stomach of the ancient corpse!"

When I said this, the stomach of the ancient corpse had rapidly bulged a small bag.

I glanced at Gu Meidi nervously: "What's in his body? It can't be the death bug of the Western Regions, right?"

Ever since I saw the terrifying Death Worm of the Western Regions in the backyard of the old house last time, I have left a serious psychological shadow.Now whenever I see that kind of reptile insect, I feel inexplicable fear and disgust.

The small bag moved quickly in the ancient corpse's body, and soon moved to the ancient corpse's throat.Before we could react, the ancient corpse opened its mouth suddenly, and a group of strange things suddenly spewed out from the ancient corpse's mouth, scaring us almost to fall from the bronze chain.

We settled down and turned our eyes to the inside of the coffin again.

The ancient corpse was still lying quietly in the coffin, and a strange and bewitching blood-red flower emerged from the ancient corpse's mouth.The demon flower was about the size of a fist, blood-red all over, blooming layer by layer.It soon became the size of a flowerpot, blocking the face of the ancient corpse.

We stretched our necks curiously and looked at this demon flower with bated breath.

The petals of the demon flower have a total of nine layers, and when fully bloomed, it looks like a dazzling red lotus platform.In the center of this red lotus platform, the golden stamen is like a clenched fist.As the petals bloomed layer by layer, the golden fist seemed to slowly loosen its fingers.Then we unexpectedly discovered that in the palm of this fist, there was a delicate and small bronze box.

It is hard to imagine that such a strange flower is hidden in an ancient corpse that has been dead for thousands of years.What is the origin of this demon flower?Why is it hidden in the body of the ancient corpse?For so many years, what nutrients did it rely on to survive?Why does this demon flower bloom after the coffin is opened?There are so many wonders in the world, even the knowledgeable Gu Mei Di can't tell the origin of this demon flower.

Of course, what we are more interested in is not the demon flower, but the bronze box in the stamen.Why is there such a bronze box wrapped in the stamen of the demon flower?What secrets are contained in the bronze box?

I licked my dry lips, and slowly stretched my hand towards the bronze box in the center of the stamen.

The bronze box glowed faintly, and my fingertips touched the box. Although I was wearing tactical gloves, I could still feel the slight coldness coming from the box.

My heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of my throat with nervousness.

Just when I was about to pick up the bronze box, there was a sudden bang, and a cloud of scarlet misty pollen suddenly sprayed out from the stamen.I was caught off guard and was sprayed straight on, with pollen all over my head and face.Gu Meidi and Professor Ye also failed to escape, their hair tips and eyebrows were covered with pollen.

I couldn't help but sneezed loudly and rubbed my nose. Not to mention, the smell of pollen was really nice, so I couldn't help but sniff a couple of more.

Professor Ye patted the pollen on his clothes and said, "Tuobagu, you are too careless. Fortunately, this is not a hidden weapon, otherwise you would have given all nine lives here just now!"

Although Professor Ye didn't reprimand me severely, I still felt my cheeks burning hot. My actions just now were indeed a bit reckless.If the ancients installed hidden weapons in the stamens or under the bronze box, I'm afraid I'd be dead on the spot now.Thinking of this, I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Did you get the box?" Gu Mei Di asked me.

I spread my palm, and the delicate and small bronze box lay quietly in my palm.Observing this bronze box up close, I found that the workmanship of this box is really exquisite.On this half-inch-sized bronze box, there are more than ten miniature reliefs engraved. Even if you get close to it, it is difficult to see the content of these reliefs with the naked eye. These reliefs need a magnifying glass to see clearly.

A very familiar eyeball pattern is engraved on the top of the bronze box, and some tadpole-sized Xixia characters are engraved around this eyeball pattern, which we can't understand.

On the side of the box was a small clasp, made of solid gold, with a small ruby ​​set in it.From the appearance, this bronze box looks like an antique, unique and elegant jewelry box for ladies.
