Mr. Zheng said that the white snake did not chase them after they were dragged into the underground river. They could have swam directly to the shore, but Zhu Huan insisted on picking up the package, so the two of them kept diving. The underground river was not deep, only four or five meters deep. When they picked up the package, they suddenly discovered that there were iron cages one after another in the underground river.
The cage is made of steel wire and contains snakes, rats, bats, centipedes, toads and other poisonous insects.
The two were startled. Just as they were about to float up, they felt a suction force at the bottom of the river. They were sucked in by the whirlpool as they were unable to escape the water.
They didn't recognize where it was sucked in. They knew it was a place similar to a corpse pit, but it was a puddle with water. There were corpses floating on the water that had grown fat. The two of them were like headless flies. After bumping into each other, I finally accidentally opened a door and found a place similar to the craftsman's lounge. I picked up a few bags of gunpowder and a few torches and arrived at the tomb passage.
The manhole cover above was able to be opened because Zhu Huan tripped over the manhole cover while walking, and then wanted to open it to take a look.
After listening to this, I thought that the big white snake wasn't chasing you, it was chasing us. But these things under the water of the underground river just show that the Cao family of the southern faction has a big plan. Maybe what Mu Lingling and I encountered It was rats, and other people encountered poisonous poisons such as snakes, centipedes, and toads. Anyway, no more than ten people could actually reach the main tomb chamber in the end.
But the successful rescue of the two of us this time is really due to Zhu Huan. If it weren't for him, Mu Lingling would basically be responsible for it.
Mr. Zheng said: "Li Shang, have you seen the origin of the tomb?"
"Have you got some clues? Do you know Yelang Country?"
"You mean? This is the tomb of King Yelang?"
"Yes." I nodded and told my guess, but I didn't say anything about the tomb within the tomb.
Mr. Zheng lowered his head in thought and stopped talking.
After a short rest, Zhu Huan took out some clean water and soaked food from his bag for Mu Lingling and I to fill our stomachs.
I said: "Let's go forward. If you guessed correctly, we will meet up with others at the next stop. The real tomb has just emerged from the water."
As I expected, this tomb passage was straight all the way without anything. After a hundred meters, there was another intersection, but this intersection was a big intersection, with three tomb passages merged into one.
I said: "The twelve tomb passages all lead to the same destination in different ways. Twelve lead to four, four lead to two, and two lead to one. The tomb of King Yelang is also very particular."
When we walked out of the tomb passage, we came to a huge cave. The cave was as big as two basketball courts. There were always bright lights burning around it to prevent it from being dark.
At this time, several people had arrived before us, but compared to the team of 60 people when we came in, the number of people at this time seemed a bit sluggish.
Seeing us coming, one of the wretched-looking people came forward, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Mu, Mr. Zheng."
Mu Lingling nodded slightly as a greeting.
A few of us walked aside and I said, "Who is that?"
She said in surprise: "Don't you know the people from the Northern Sect?"
I shook my head and said I didn't know him.
Mr. Zheng added: "The northern sect, nicknamed Flower Picking Bee, used to open many doors of old women by picking locks on sliding doors in the early years. He was nicknamed Flower Picking Bee by people in the world. Back then, he sneaked into the floating door secretly. , I tried to get my hands on the young lady, but I arranged for someone to remove the needle on the tail, and then ran south. I didn't expect to meet him here."
Zhu Huan said: "Do you always castrate him?"
"Hehe." Mr. Zheng showed a rare smile.
Flower collecting bee.
I glanced at him and saw that the flower-gathering bees were also watching us.
I smiled slightly, then looked away, and lay on the ground leaning on my backpack, but my nose did not rest, collecting the smell of everyone in the air. For example, this person smelled of rouge, or he was a hooker. Either he is a regular customer of Goulan, or the one who smells like sweat is a good hand at hanging doors, and so on.
It can be said that there are almost all the three sects in the world, but there is only one person from the theater sect who is not seen.
I looked at the tomb passage we came out of. Is the guy from the theater still hiding inside?
Mr. Zheng said: "Boy Li, this matter is not simple. The so-called tomb search for Zhang family treasures is actually about taking human lives to fill it. Am I right?"
"That's half right." I lowered my voice and said, "Actually, it's very simple to want to be immortal. That is, all of us follow the Cao family, but everyone has the same idea, that is, listen to the host and get it. They all wanted to monopolize the profits, so their deaths were not unjust."
"Did you know earlier?"
"I only thought of it after you told me about the beasts raised at the bottom of the underground river. However, the Cao family is indeed well hidden. As for their purpose, I don't know much about them and I don't dare to talk nonsense."
I gave Mr. Zheng an ambiguous answer.
Mu Lingling obviously has my heart at this time. Even if she knows more than Mr. Zheng, she won't say anything more, at least not in front of me.
The way of thinking of a woman who falls in love is really difficult to figure out. Even if Mr. Zheng follows her to protect her, she will hide something.
"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time."
Following a familiar voice, Cao Gang led the three diners out. They all had injuries more or less on their bodies. The bruises looked serious, but in fact they were nothing.
Mr. Zheng said: "These injuries were caused intentionally. It seems that the Cao family wants to harm us people."
I didn't answer any questions.
Zhu Huan was filled with righteous indignation: "Mr. Zheng, how do you want to rectify it? If you want to rectify it, I will do it with you later."
Mr. Zheng laughed.
I glanced at Zhu Huan and said, "How stupid are you? Are you bulletproof?"
Although Cao Gang and the others wore thick clothes, they could still see the bulging in their waists, which was definitely a ring.
The sound from seven steps away is fast, but the sound within seven steps is accurate and fast.
This is why Mr. Zheng burst out laughing when Zhu Huan said he was going to take action. He laughed at him for being cute and laughing at him for being stupid.
Cao Gang walked into the crowd, held up his hands and said, "The death of all your companions in the tomb is really the fault of my Cao family. I am here to apologize to you."
After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed in a pretentious manner.
The next leader of the Southern Pirates faction kowtowed to them in public to apologize. This etiquette was definitely in place.
Even though some people say that life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor, I don’t blame the Cao family for this.
After some false feelings.
Someone said: "Cao Zhiguo, your Cao family said that the Zhang family's treasure is here, where is it?"
