We searched along the wall where it hit for a while, and then we saw the brown blood stains left on the ground. I pointed to the blood stains on the ancient bronze sword and said, "Look."
"Is this the blood he shed?"
"The blood of ordinary zombies has long been coagulated, and even if there is a small amount of blood flowing out, it is impossible for it to flow out like a normal person." I analyzed, "Your sword is like slicing an artery, and he is bleeding now. "
"But how is this possible?"
"I find it strange, too." I was also puzzled, "Let's follow the blood trail, and I want to see what's the mystery behind it!"
We didn't walk long before we found a hole in the wall, which seemed to have been caused by a flying corpse. "Did you hear the sound of the wall breaking just now?"
"I don't remember. It kept hitting the wall and I didn't listen carefully."
I walked into the hole, looked at the wall tiles that had fallen to the floor, and shook my head, "No, most of the wall tiles here are indoors. They were obviously broken from the outside."
"Ah?" Lin Xiaoyu looked at the scattered wall tiles on the ground in surprise. Although he was surprised, he couldn't help but agree, "Could it be that someone else took that thing away?"
"I don't know if it's a human being, but I must check it out today!" I looked at the hole and unconsciously squeezed the ancient bronze sword in my hand. I don't know why, but I felt a feeling in my heart. Strange thoughts, "What is the origin of this bronze sword? Why does it appear in the sarcophagus?"
I unconsciously connected this ancient bronze sword with the whole thing, and walked into the cave with questions.
"I never expected that there is a whole world outside this wall."
"I, what do you think that could be?"
I didn't answer. This place was completely different from the previous tomb in terms of spatial layout and style. It was like I was in another tomb. I watched every movement vigilantly, holding the engineering shovel tightly in my left hand, ready to attack at any time.
Lin Xiaoyu was also infected by my nervousness. The two of them moved forward in tandem, following the increasingly sparse brown blood stains dripping on the ground.
The entire passage is a dug-out cave, only about three meters high and wide enough for a car to pass through. The ground is not paved with bluestone bricks, but is filled with dirt. The rest are rock walls, and the traces of artificial excavation on them are very obvious.
Countless pairs of red eyes suddenly lit up deep in the cave, like small fireballs flashing in the air. I subconsciously hid Lin Xiaoyu behind me, "Be careful."
Lin Xiaoyu watched those red eyes gradually approaching us from the darkness in the distance, and suddenly understood why I was nervous just now, and this emotion immediately spread in her own heart.
"The red eyes, could they be -" I wondered, "Corpse Gu?"
"What is Corpse Gu?" Lin Xiaoyu asked confused.
I didn't answer, I just nodded, "Yes, it's corpse Gu!"
"Actually, this just answers my long-standing confusion. If the tomb owner uses blood corpses and corpse Gu to guard his tomb, how could he become a zombie?" I turned around and looked at Lin Xiaoyu, "His There must be someone behind it!"
I took out the bundle of ropes from my backpack, put it on Lin Xiaoyu's shoulders, and said to her: "Although corpse poison is not a powerful thing, these things are completely unconscious and will still attack with all their strength until the moment of death. If they attack blindly, it will be worse." If it’s not good for us, the best way is to tie them up with ropes!”
"Ah? What do you mean? Do you want me to tie him up?" Lin Xiaoyu said with a pale face.
"You don't see how thick this rope is. How can it be so easy to tie them up with this kind of rope? It's hard for me to watch." I shook my head and smiled: "Have you ever played whack-a-mole?"
"We've played before, what's wrong?"
"Today is indeed tiring. Just let it out and kill yourself!"
Lin Xiaoyu really didn't expect that I would say that. She looked at me blankly, unable to find the right words to answer.
I smiled and patted her shoulder, "Don't be nervous, just do as I say!"
"Come on, you gophers!"
With that said, I rushed forward.
I picked up the ancient bronze sword and called to the black group of corpses. Those corpse Gu looked very much like zombies in American TV series. Their arms were drooping as if they were broken. They walked with a limp and were shouting something unknown. The only thing that looked scary was their... A pair of red eyes.
"Come on, you rats!" Oddly enough, I just greeted them randomly. Although I completely ignored the capabilities of those corpse Gus, after all, they had the advantage in numbers, and such an unorganized attack would definitely be thankless. Unexpectedly, those corpse Gu fell to the ground limply as if they had encountered a nemesis.
Even Lin Xiaoyu behind him couldn't see clearly. She thought that there might be some flaw in the refining process of these corpse Gu, which made them so vulnerable as defective products, so she rushed forward. What made her regret the most was that when the zombies saw her, they all pressed down on her, as if they had taken stimulants.
Lin Xiaoyu suddenly fell into a passive position and complained endlessly, "Li Rui, what is going on?"
"Oh, I told you to be careful."
"I saw that you had a great time fighting, so I -" Lin Xiaoyu hurriedly called for help, but was instantly besieged by countless corpse Gu and was unable to resist.
"Ah!" I shouted and quickly moved closer to Lin Xiaoyu. I encountered almost no resistance when I slashed. Lin Xiaoyu thought I had found some life gate, and she was secretly glad for a while. But what happened next was even more shocking. I handed the ancient bronze sword in Lin Xiaoyu's hand, "Use it!"
But when I faced the corpse Gu again, I suddenly felt that the resistance I encountered was incomparable to the one before. It almost felt like I had encountered a new opponent. Just when I was shocked, I looked to the other side and saw that Lin Xiaoyu was playing vigorously and fell down in a large piece.
"Hey, hey, come on, come on, I'm almost exhausted!"
I urgently called Lin Xiaoyu to come to the rescue. During this back and forth, Lin Xiaoyu and I suddenly focused our attention on the bronze dagger, "Could it be that-"
"I just said that this sword is unusual. There is nothing else in the sarcophagus. Why is there only this piece of scrap metal? It also repels the flying corpse at once. There must be a reason. Look at this, isn't it? Has it been verified?”
"When did you just say that? Hindsight!"
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you now, hurry up, I'm almost exhausted!"
"Why should I go? I don't know who just said that we wanted to play Whac-a-Mole?"
"Ah, what time has it been? Don't worry about these jokes. This ancient bronze sword is your lucky thing. Look, it just saved your life." We joked with each other, seeming to be totally indifferent to the group of corpse Gu. No scruples.
Seeing the corpse Gu pressing up again, I hugged Lin Xiaoyu, held the ancient sword with both hands, and stabbed forward. The two people just dived directly into the corpse Gu. The Corpse Gu brigade was like a crumbling mud wall, vulnerable to a single blow. It was immediately broken through by them, causing them to fall to pieces.
Lin Xiaoyu broke away from me and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"Break through the defense. Only in this way can we break through those zombies quickly!"
Lin Xiaoyu was still not used to it. She rolled her eyes at me and took a few deep breaths. She seemed to be unhappy, but she endured it. I was also startled by her sullenness just now, smiled awkwardly, and was about to apologize, but was stopped by Lin Xiaoyu.
"Forget it, don't apologize."
"Ah, okay, um-I-let's go."
The two were silent for a long time.
There is also a burial chamber at the end of the cave. This tomb is filled with funerary objects. Although the quality of the items inside is not outstanding, there are many categories. The tomb has been opened, and there are several signs of robberies. I walked around the tomb and said, "Do you think this is the virtual tomb?"
Lin Xiaoyu asked: "What is a virtual tomb?"
"It's just a fake tomb." I continued, "It looks like it should be right. We walked around in it for who knows how long. I guess it should be possible to reach the back mountain."
"If this is the case, why did you dig a hole like this in the Void Tomb to connect to the real dragon?"
We were having trouble solving our doubts when I felt something dripping on my forehead. When I touched my forehead, I found that my hand was stained with brown liquid. This made me immediately alert, "This is the blood of flying corpses!"
When I looked up, I was scared to death. My feet trembled and I almost sat down on the ground. Lin Xiaoyu was also surprised. When she looked up, she saw the flying corpse hanging above the tomb chamber, with a hemp rope hanging around its neck, and its tongue sticking out.
Brown blood continued to drip from the boots to the ground. The flying corpse seemed to have stopped struggling, not even breathing. I calmed down a bit. Lin Xiaoyu was so anxious that he dropped the bronze dagger in his hand and ran over to ask, "Li Rui, what's wrong with you?"
I smiled awkwardly and waved my hand stained with brown blood in front of her, "I was shocked!"
"You are so good, you almost scared me to death."
Before we could finish talking, wisps of blue smoke suddenly rose in the tomb. The smoke came out from the small holes in the wall, and soon filled the entire tomb.
"poison gas?"
"Hurry up, cover your mouth and nose, and go back!" I was about to go back to the passage we just came from, but in the blink of an eye, the way back was covered by heavy fog, and we could only rely on memory to identify the direction. But before they had walked a few steps, the two of them felt light-headed, their eyes blurred, and then their eyes went dark and they fainted.
When I opened my eyes, I saw something different. It is like an old house in the countryside, with a brick and wood structure. It can be called a house with only four walls. In addition to tables, chairs and benches, there is only a bed, which can be regarded as decent furniture. In the reflection, I should be in a virtual tomb, but now I was lying in this broken house. I instinctively wanted to get out of bed and find out, but my body seemed to be falling apart, and I could only sit up reluctantly.
"Hey, is there anyone?"
"you're awake!"
The speaker was Lin Xiaoyu. She had been outside the door. When she heard my voice, she walked in, "Hey, hey, are you okay?"
"Where am I?"
Lin Xiaoyu poured me a glass of water, "Here, drink some water first."
"What's going on?" I took the water glass, eager to know the whole story, "Why are you okay?"
"You really want something to happen to me?"
"Of course I didn't mean it."
"Okay, okay, I know you want to say why you are still in a coma but I am fine, right?"
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"You should meet someone first before we talk." Lin Xiaoyu gave up, and soon another person walked in from the door. The man was stooped and dressed in ragged clothes. From a distance, he looked like a beggar.
"This is-" I wondered.
