dragon hunter

Chapter 81
Humans are social animals. In this lonely and narrow passage, seeing my companions, my tense scalp relaxed a lot.

"Fatty, why did you appear behind me?" I was a little curious about Fatty Wang's experience.

"Hey, don't mention it, I almost scared Fatty to death. There are so many twists and turns, ups and downs." Fatty Wang sighed.

"Tell me!" I walked forward with a flashlight, the surrounding area was too quiet, and talking to someone could ease my inner fear.

"As soon as the fat man went in, he saw a beautiful woman, she was dressed coolly, it made me drool." Fatty Wang swallowed his saliva.

"You also met Hua Mei?" I was slightly taken aback, remembering my own experience.

"Fart! What a charm, that's a thousand-year-old rice dumpling." A trace of fear flashed in Fatty Wang's eyes, and he continued, "I just walked over and grabbed that beautiful girl's little hand, but found that the hand felt wrong, and it didn't feel sensual at all."

"Then that beautiful woman changed her face drastically, her skin dried up all of a sudden, she opened her mouth and bit my neck, I was so scared that I turned around and ran away." When Fatty Wang said this, his whole body trembled.

I looked at Fatty Wang with sympathy. Although everyone had the same beginning, the process was completely different, and I mourned for Fatty in my heart.

"That zongzi was so fast that it almost caught up with me several times. Fortunately, at the critical moment, I remembered a Buddhist sutra taught by the old monk. I just read the beginning, and the zongzi disappeared." Fatty Wang boasted triumphantly.

When I saw Fatty's tattered clothes, I knew that the process was not so smooth, but knowing Fatty's habit of bragging, I didn't expose him.

"Yeah, there's a flashlight ahead, let's go there quickly." Fatty Wang shouted in surprise.

Not far ahead, I saw a few figures crouching on the ground, one of them was smoking a cigarette, some looked like an old boatman.

"Fortunately, everyone came out safely." The old boatman shined a flashlight on this side, threw away his cigarette butt and stood up.

The old monkey stared at the sheepskin map, saw us coming out, stood up without saying a word, made a gesture of keeping up, and walked forward.

The dwarf was a little taciturn, wandering on the edge of the team, lowering his head from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Fatty Wang was about to speak, but I stopped him. The atmosphere in the team was a bit strange, and the situation was unclear, so it's better to be cautious in words and actions.

The old boatman walked in front of me and smoked two cigarettes in a row. He looked a little abnormal, but his demeanor was quite calm.

I followed the team without saying a word, and looked at the surrounding environment with a flashlight. The passage here was obviously wider.

"Ah, there's a dead body ahead." Fatty Wang exclaimed.

My heart tightened, and I looked along the light of the flashlight, and saw a dead bone lying on the side of the wall. Judging from the style of the clothes, it should have died here more than 20 years ago. Could it be my grandfather?
The old boatman walked over quickly, squatted aside and looked at the dead bone. He carefully picked up a few small items on the ground.

I subconsciously glanced at the dwarf, whether the dead bones lying on the ground were one of those people back then, as the person involved, he should know best.

"It's Lao Bai." The dwarf's voice was a little hoarse, and he cherished words like gold.

"Miao Jiang's famous Gu King back then, unexpectedly died in this underground palace without a sound." The old boatman looked at the objects in his hand.

The old monkey continued to walk forward without saying a word. A stone door appeared in front of him, blocking the way. He stretched out his hand and twisted a mechanism, and the stone door slowly opened.

"There are many sarcophagi inside." Fatty Wang hid behind me, shining a flashlight behind the stone door.

I turned my attention away from the dead bones and looked behind the stone gate. It was a hall with more than a dozen sarcophagi neatly placed inside.

The shape of the sarcophagus seemed familiar to me, and I suddenly remembered that the sarcophagus where the snake man was lying was almost exactly the same as the batch of sarcophagi in the hall.

"Be careful, something is wrong." I reminded Fatty Wang in a low voice. Along the way, I always felt that the old monkey was a little weird.

"Old monkey, did you lead the wrong way? Here are the coffins of the tombs, only in the central area." The old boatman stood up and looked at the sarcophagus in the hall, with a flash of astonishment in his eyes.

"There is no wrong way, because I have to meet someone first." A faint voice sounded.

My expression changed, and without saying a word, I ran towards the old monkey. I was so familiar with the voice just now, I heard it not long ago.

"You are not an old monkey, no wonder I always feel that something is wrong." The old boatman reacted very quickly, with a flick of his wrist, a black shadow shot at the old monkey.

The old monkey moved nimbly, dodged the shadow sideways, turned his head and smiled at us strangely, stretched out his hand and twisted a mechanism on the stone wall.

I rushed over, threw a piece of burning talisman paper, and reached out to snatch the map from the old monkey.

A gust of wind swept past, and the old boatman had already fought with the old monkey. The two fought, but the old boatman didn't get the upper hand.

"Bang!" The old monkey punched the stone wall, and the gravel flew, making a hole in the wall.

My heart trembled, I clenched my back molars, and threw a few burning talisman papers at the old monkey.

There was a "creaking" sound from the sarcophagus in the hall, and the coffin lid was moved aside, and something seemed to be crawling out of it.

"Grandpa, grab the sheepskin map first." I reminded loudly with an anxious expression on my face.

This underground palace is unexpectedly huge. If there is no sheepskin map, we will be like a blind man groping for an elephant, not knowing how to go.

The old boatman's face was very solemn, and he made several attempts to snatch the sheepskin map, but was dodged by the other party.

"Hurry up, the things in the coffin are about to come out." Fatty Wang's voice was a little panicked.

With a heartbroken heart, I threw out a handful of burning talisman papers, and reached out to snatch the map from the old monkey's hand.

The old boatman cooperated very well, and he threw out his fists and feet, which attracted all the attention of the old monkey, and he didn't even dodge the other's punch.

I grabbed the sheepskin map and pulled it hard. There was a "stab" sound, and the sheepskin map was split into two, with a small piece still in the old monkey's hand.

The old boatman was thrown upside down by a punch, rolled around on the ground a few times, covered in dust.

"Old man!" I exclaimed, quickly put away most of the sheepskin map, and ran towards the old boatman.

The old monkey didn't pursue, but looked back at us, and ran towards the other side of the underground palace.

"Ah!" I just accidentally saw half of the old monkey's facial features blurred, as if painted with a brush.

"The Faceless Man!" I blurted out. No wonder I always felt that there was something following behind me. It turned out to be the Faceless Man who disappeared from the secret room.

The old boatman snorted and stood up holding his chest. I hurried over to help him, and asked a question with concern.

"I'm fine, the snake man in the coffin is about to come out, let's leave quickly." The old boatman glanced behind him, his tone a little hasty.

I looked back and saw that lying in the sarcophagus was a withered body, with the upper part of a human and the lower part of a snake. It was grabbing the edge of the sarcophagus with its withered arms, and it was about to get up.

I supported the old boatman and ran out of the hall staggeringly. Some withered snake men ran up, waving their arms, and chased after us.

"Quick... run!" Fatty Wang rushed over with a nervous expression, grabbed the old boatman's other arm, turned around and ran away.

The dwarf didn't say a word, but followed closely behind, with a pair of short legs moving quickly.

The group of mummified snake men followed closely. We panicked and ran all the way, regardless of whether we would step on the mechanism.

"Have you come after me? Fatty can't run anymore." Fatty Wang was out of breath and ran forward desperately.

I quickly turned around and looked behind with a flashlight. Seeing that the group of mummified snake men hadn't come after them, I slowed down and shouted out of breath, "If they didn't come after them, let's take a rest first."

The old boatman was punched and seemed to be injured, panting like a bellows, leaning against the wall.

"Old man, how are you?" A trace of worry flashed in my eyes, the old boatman is our main force, so we must not lose anything.

"Be careful!" Fatty exclaimed in horror from behind.

I don't know what happened, but I felt a sharp wind stabbing towards my waist, and subconsciously wanted to dodge.

But in front of me is the old boatman, if I dodge, the injured old man will probably be stabbed, and the wounds will be added, and it will be over.

In desperation, I lifted my leg and kicked backwards, with a muffled groan, as if I had hit something.

A sharp thing scratched my waist, and my skin was burning with pain. I quickly turned around and threw a handful of burning talisman papers forward.

Through the firelight of the talisman, I saw the dwarf with a ferocious face, holding a dagger in his hand, stabbing towards my thigh.

"Hang on, the fat man is here." Fatty Wang roared and rushed over like a wild boar.

I flew up and kicked the dwarf, feeling a little puzzled, not knowing why he suddenly attacked us.

The dwarf was kicked against the stone wall, fell to the ground, the dagger fell to the side, and then his body twisted like a snake, and he rushed towards my feet quickly.

"He was parasitized by the figurine snake." I kicked the dwarf again, and I was very shocked. I didn't expect that the ancestor who played with the snake fell on the snake.

Fatty Wang rushed over, pinned the dwarf like a giant bear, and shouted: "Do you still have that thin bamboo tube? Put one in his nostril."

I reached out to touch the belt around my waist, found the last bamboo tube left, ran over, and stuck it in the dwarf's nostril.

After a while, the dwarf stopped struggling, and a colorful little snake swam out and was trampled to death by my foot.

"How is it? Are you still breathing?" The old boatman asked urgently.

I reached out and probed the dwarf's nose, a gloomy look flashed in my eyes, and I shook my head, "I've made it through the front, but I didn't expect to be planted in the 'Palace of Three Lives'."

The old boatman sighed, squatted down, lit a cigarette, and smoked without saying a word.

I felt a little sad, there were five people when I came in, but after leaving the "Three Lives Hall", there were only three left.
