Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress

When the thing broke through the water, it made a splash with an astonishing force.

But no one felt the powerful aura. This thing didn't seem to be a living thing!

The flashlights were all shined at the thing. Everyone took a closer look and couldn't help being stunned.

That was a big fish over five meters long!

But the strange thing is that this turned out to be a dead fish!

Half of the big fish's head was rotten, and its eyeballs fell out of its sockets. Most of the flesh on its waist was rotten, exposing its white bones. It was too dead to die.

But how can a dead fish move?

The big fish turned over in the air, fell into the lake again, sank quickly and disappeared.

The whole process only took a few seconds, and the lake returned to tranquility.

Yaomei opened her mouth wide and remained silent for a long time.

Wang Kaixuan rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Am I dazzled? There is actually a dead fish jumping out of the lake!"

Professor Sun opened his mouth wide and his eyes almost popped out.

"How is this possible? It completely goes against biology!"

Lin Shuangyue smiled softly and said.

"Of course the dead fish won't move, it's the things attached to it that are causing the trouble."

It turned out that when the dead fish appeared, Wang Kaixuan and the others only saw one side, while Lin Shuangyue and Ji Changsheng saw the other side.

The other side of the dead fish was covered with dense black bugs, about the size of a thumb, which looked like cockroaches.

That's a corpse insect!

Corpse worms are not a specific species of worms, but generally refer to all worms that eat corpses.

There are many kinds of scavenging insects in nature, and corpse crickets are one of them.

This kind of insect that appears on dead fish is different from corpse crickets. This kind of insect is not poisonous, but it is extremely powerful and has a bloodthirsty and cruel personality. Like a school of piranhas, it eats whatever it catches.

Just now it was these insects that were frantically fighting for the dead fish carcass, driving the dead fish to jump out of the water.

After listening to Lin Shuangyue's explanation, Wang Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turned out to be a bug. It scared me."

Yaomei's expression changed and she said quickly.

"Sister Lin, you said those bugs eat everything, then wouldn't we also become their targets?!"

Lin Shuangyue was about to say yes, but before she could say anything, she saw water splashing on the lake.

A black shadow broke through the water and attacked people.

Corpse worm swarm!

Although the number of these corpse insects was not as large as that of the Sword-Armored Locusts, they were still quite large. They were so dark that they looked like dark clouds.

Everyone's expressions changed with fear, and they quickly took out their weapons and prepared to fight.

Ji Changsheng's eyes flashed coldly and he shouted sharply.

"How dare you be so presumptuous!"

He stretched out his right hand and grabbed it in the air.

Crane control skill!

A powerful suction force swept away and surrounded the insect swarm.

The swarm of insects was controlled by invisible energy, shrinking into a tight group and flying towards Ji Changsheng.

What was even more frightening was that an invisible black air quickly enveloped the insect swarm.

"Start merging!"

The insect swarm was defenseless in front of him and obediently contributed its vitality points.

"Ding, the fusion of 1.8 million corpse insects was successful!"

"Ding, the host has gained 18,000 vitality points!"

After being sucked dry, the swarms of insects fell on the lake one after another and quickly sank to the bottom of the lake.

To the current Ji Changsheng, this little bit of vitality is just an appetizing snack, not addictive at all.

Yaomei and Professor Sun had seen him clean up the sword-armored locusts. This time the scene was much smaller, and they were no longer surprised.

After this little episode, not long after, everyone successfully arrived at the end of the lake.

Looking ahead, I saw a steep mountain wall at the end.

There are two stone dragon heads on the mountain wall, one on the left and one on the right.

A stream of clear spring flows from the mouth of the dragon head and pours into the lake.

Between the two dragon heads, a city gate was revealed, with carvings of hundreds of animals and birds. The style is very different from that of the Central Plains, with a strong Bashu charm.

Below the city gate is a row of stone gates, made of huge blue bricks, with a total of three floors.

The bottom layer of stone gates was submerged by the lake, and only a little of the top of the door could be seen. The middle layer was half flooded, and the top layer was more than three meters high from the lake.

The three-story stone gates are well-proportioned and the distribution pattern is very particular.

When Wang Kaixuan saw it, he couldn't help but said with great joy.

"Finally found it, this must be the entrance to the underground palace!"

The others were also refreshed. After so many hardships, they finally found the underground palace!

After Yaomei took a look, she asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Why are there so many doors?"

Wang Kaixuan replied quickly.

"Of course, it is to prevent people from fighting. Only one of these doors should lead to the tomb. The others are traps or confusing dead ends."

Upon hearing this, Professor Sun waved his hand.

"No, what you are talking about is the anti-theft method outside the tomb. We have already arrived at the entrance of the underground palace, and this method will not work."

Many of the tomb robbers in the past were groups, such as Bu Yanqi and Xiling Bandits, which often numbered thousands or tens of thousands of people and were very powerful.

In the face of the human sea tactic, this blinding method is completely ineffective. As long as a team of death squads are sent into each door to take a look, they can find out which door the real door is.

Therefore, this kind of mystery mechanism will only be placed outside the tomb to prevent people from finding the true location of the underground palace, so as to prevent theft.

Wang Kaixuan's face turned red, he scratched his scalp and asked.

"So according to you, these doors all lead to the tomb?"

Professor Sun shook his head.

"I don't know. This is the first time I've seen such a large Bashu tomb."

Wang Kaixuan frowned.

"You've been studying for a lifetime, why did you fail at the critical moment?"

Professor Sun smiled awkwardly without explaining.

Everyone had to look at Ji Changsheng, the leader of the team.

Ji Changsheng observed for a while and said.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Everyone then rowed the coffin and came to the city gate.

When they approached the city gate, they immediately felt something strange.

Hu Bayi bent down and put his hand into the water, and after sensing it, he said.

"The water flow has changed here. Some doors have very fast water flow, while others have very slow water flow, which means that each door leads to different places!"

"Which door should we go through?"

Ji Changsheng thought for a while and said immediately.

"The fast water flow means that the terrain inside is low, and the tomb chamber is usually in the lowest part of the underground palace."

After speaking, he pointed to the door with the fastest water flow.

"There."

Everyone quickly prepared themselves and rowed into the door under the leadership of Ji Changsheng.

Behind the door was a long waterway. The further in, the faster the water flowed.

After advancing a few hundred meters, a waterfall appeared at the end of the waterway.

Ji Changsheng quickly raised his hand and threw the Nine-foot Demonic Silk to everyone.

"Hold on tight!"

After absorbing water, the Nine-foot Demonic Silk turned into a black dragon more than 30 meters long. The dragon twisted its body gently and rolled everyone onto its back.

With a dragon roar, the black dragon rose into the air and jumped out of the waterfall.
