Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress
Chapter 357: Reminiscing about the Past
When talking about the danger, Chen Yulou's face turned pale and his whole body couldn't help trembling slightly.
Decades have passed, but the scene is still vivid.
Back then, he led the remaining four companions, and after passing through the miasma, they fled into a big cave in a panic.
There was a dark river in the cave, the Snake River.
No one knew where the dark river flowed, and the miasma outside the cave was about to drift in. In order to save their lives, the five of them could only jump into the river and swim desperately into the cave.
There was no light source in the cave, and it was very dark. The five people didn't know the direction, so they could only go downstream.
After swimming for about a cup of tea, they saw dry river banks on both sides and hurriedly climbed ashore.
After getting ashore, several people lit a fire stick for lighting, but the brightness of the fire stick was about the same as that of a lighter. They also found some dead branches nearby and simply made a few torches, so that they could see the situation in the cave clearly.
But it turned out to be a dark underground cave, with the winding Snake River running through it, and shallow river beaches on both sides.
There was a chilly wind in the cave, and the few people had just come out of the river, so they were all shivering with cold wind.
Someone immediately asked Chen Yulou what to do now?
There was deadly miasma outside the cave. The terrain of this cave was very low, and the miasma gathered in the low place. Without strong winds and rainstorms, it would not dissipate easily.
It was impossible to return by the original route, and going out would be a dead end.
And this cave did not know where it led to. They did not have diving equipment and did not dare to take risks rashly.
They could not go forward or backward.
There was nothing in the cave, and they did not bring too many supplies. If they waited foolishly for the miasma to dissipate here, they would probably starve to death in the cave within ten days or half a month.
After weighing the two, Chen Yulou also felt very embarrassed.
At this time, two companions began to complain, saying that they had lost four brothers before they even saw the tomb of King Xian, and now they were trapped in this cave with an uncertain future. They regretted that they had been obsessed with money and came to this ghost place to suffer.
Chen Yulou was immediately displeased when he heard this. As the leader of Xiangling, although tens of thousands of his brothers had disappeared, his status in the world was still there.
He was also a person who loved face very much. When he heard that others had complaints in their words, he was very annoyed.
But he was the one who initiated this tomb robbery, but he was in a dilemma and it was difficult for him to refute it.
Fortunately, the other two companions spoke for him.
"Since you are in this line of work, you have to make a living by hanging your head on your belt. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God! If you are afraid of death and are timid, what great things can you achieve!"
"How can we not die in our line of work? If the tomb of King Xian was so easy to find, it would have been emptied long ago. How could it be our turn?"
"If you two don't want to do this anymore, leave now. We are still short of two people to share the money!"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Chen Yulou quickly persuaded them that they were all brothers and should say less. It was still important to find a way out.
It was not a solution to wait foolishly in this cave. There was miasma outside the cave, and it was definitely impossible to return by the original route.
Judging from the direction on the human skin map, this underground river should flow to the depths of the worm valley. Now we can only bite the bullet and go through it!
Since there was no other way, we could only try his suggestion.
So, the five people forced themselves to be energetic and groped towards the depths of the cave.
After walking for a cup of tea, the riverbanks on both sides became narrower and narrower, and there was no room for people to stand, so they had to go swimming.
Fortunately, they brought a pot of strong liquor. After the five people shared the liquor, the alcohol took effect and they felt hot all over. They hoped to use the alcohol to withstand the coldness of the river water.
The five people went into the water and swam forward for several hundred meters along the river. Suddenly, some strange human figurines appeared above their heads.
These human figurines did not look like stone figurines. They were all tied with dead vines and hung upside down on the top of the cave. There were hundreds of them at a glance.
The dead vines were covered with green moss, and I don’t know how many years they have been there.
After these human figurines appeared, several people were refreshed.
In ancient times, there was a custom of burying living people with the dead, which was later changed to using human figurines instead. The appearance of these human figurines showed that there must be a large tomb nearby!
One of them said excitedly: "I have never seen such a figurine before. It doesn't look like an artifact from the Central Plains. Let me make one and take a look."
After saying that, he threw a flying knife and easily cut off the dead vine, and a figurine fell into the water.
Everyone immediately swam over and fished the figurine out of the water to look at it.
But the figurine was covered with dust. After brushing off the dust, a layer of dry dead skin was exposed. It didn't look like a clay figurine or wood.
"Could it be a mummy?"
Thinking that King Xian was a witch king of a minority ethnic group in the Han Dynasty, proficient in all kinds of mysterious and strange methods, it is not surprising to make figurines with living people.
From this point of view, this figurine just shows that King Xian's tomb is indeed not far away!
After getting this important information, several people couldn't help but increase their confidence and were about to regroup and continue exploring.
At this time, a large number of bubbles emerged from the bottom of the water, and after the bubbles burst, a foul odor was emitted, which was unbearable.
These people have been tomb robbers for many years, and they knew it was the stench of corpses as soon as they smelled it!
Looking down, the part of the figurine soaked in water was gradually melting, releasing the foul smell of corpse gas.
Chen Yulou was shocked and quickly asked people to cover their mouths and noses, this corpse gas was poisonous!
Everyone quickly threw away the figurine, held their breath, and swam forward. After swimming for more than a hundred meters, they were far away from the corpse gas.
Only then did they realize that these human figurines were actually a vicious mechanism. Once they fell into the water, the mummies would be dissolved by the water and release highly toxic corpse energy to harm people!
But just when they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard a splashing sound from the water, like dumplings being dropped.
Looking back, I saw countless splashes on the water, and something under the water was coming towards them quickly, in huge numbers.
After all, Chen Yulou is the leader of Xiling and has rich experience. He suddenly realized it at a glance.
"There are sleeping Gu insects inside the human figurines, please swim quickly!"
It turns out that this figurine is more sinister than they thought!
There are countless poisonous insects hidden in the bodies of the human figurines, which usually sleep inside the mummies. Once the mummies are dissolved in water, these bugs will come out to harm people!
Although they didn't know what these Gu insects were, they figured they were not easy to play with, so they hurriedly swam forward.
But those bugs are extremely fast in the water and will catch up with them in a blink of an eye.
In desperation, several people took out their equipment and prepared to turn back to face the swarm of insects.
After all, they are masters of reverse fighting. They all have self-defense guys, and their skills are not ordinary. They will definitely not be able to catch these Gu insects without any help.
But dozens of black bugs the size of a thumb suddenly jumped out of the water and rushed towards the crowd.
These bugs look like leeches, but are much more nimble than leeches and can move as fast as lightning.
One of them recognized the bugs immediately.
"It's a water wasp!"
