Lao Itch, whose head and face were covered with blood, looked really embarrassed. Wu Xie quickly expressed his concern: "Lao Itch, you are not missing any arms or legs, are you? Why did you pinch my neck just now?"
Lao Itch held up a handful of water and washed the blood off his face: "Why are you pinching your neck? I saw you flopping in the water and thought you were drowning. I was afraid that you would drown, so I reached out and lifted you up."
Wuxie said nervously: "I originally wanted to save you in the water, but when I touched the fish, I wanted to run away."
Lao Itch boasted proudly: "Lao Wu, don't be afraid, I saved that fish!"
Wu Xie looked at Lao Itch suspiciously. Although the fish did flap violently for a while, is Lao Itch's small body really so awesome?
"Lao Wu, don't believe it, look behind you." Lao Itch raised his hand and pointed behind Wu Xie, stuttering for him to look.
Wuxie immediately turned around to look and found that the fish had turned over on its belly and floated up. Its pectoral fins shook twice and stopped moving.
After waiting for a minute and discovering that it was indeed motionless, Wuxie touched it and turned the fish over by its gills, using a flashlight to observe it carefully.
This fish with a big head like a basin is at least two meters long, and its mouth is full of sharp, hook-shaped teeth. No wonder it can shatter a waterproof backpack in one bite.
Wuxie pulled out the dagger from its forehead, which was the one that he had inserted just now: "This is a Zerro salmon. It is the most ferocious among freshwater fishes. Fortunately, it is just an adult. This thing can grow up to Five meters, if a five-meter fish hits it, we both will be stunned on the spot."
"Okay, Lao Wu, let's move on." Lao Itch came over and pulled the fish out of Wu Xie's hand.
Wu Xie let go of his hand in confusion: "Old Itch, what are you still doing with it if it's already dead?"
Lao Itch swam forward with the fish carcass: "It just ate so much equipment, it has to be taken out, and I haven't eaten salmon yet. It's just dead and still fresh, just in time to taste it!"
…
Uncle Tai suddenly raised his hand to stop his men from chatting: "Someone is coming, let's go quickly."
They didn't make a fire, so they put on their backpacks and disappeared into the stone path, lying in wait for someone to come.
…
Wu Xie, who was looking around, suddenly discovered a section of stairs. Looking along the stairs, he saw a platform on top, so he quickly pulled Lao Itchy's sleeve: "Lao Itch, there is a platform over there!"
After looking at the platform, Lao Itch suggested: "Lao Wu, we don't know how far we have to swim ahead. Let's go up and have a rest."
Wu Xie felt cold and itchy all over after soaking in the green water. He had long wanted to find a place to rest, so he listened to Lao Itch's suggestion to swim over there.
…
The fat man, whose legs were numb from squatting, sat down on the spot: "Brother, why don't you think those people have come over yet?"
Zhang Qiling figured out that the group of people must have swam past the tomb passage and were repairing it, so he calmly said: "Wait a moment."
The fat man suddenly heard a slight clicking sound coming from behind him. He poked the little brother's arm and whispered: "Brother, did you hear any noise? It's clicking. It's not the rats stealing our food..."
The younger brother said calmly without turning his head, "It's Lin Yi."
From just now, he heard Lin Yi chewing on compressed biscuits, and the subtle clicking sound really sounded like a mouse stealing food.
"Dr. Lin, we just ate just now. Are you hungry so soon?" The fat man turned around and saw the packaging bags on the floor. He almost jumped up in fright: "Ouch! Dr. Lin, you have eaten so many compressed biscuits, and your stomach is full." Are you in a panic?"
Hearing the fat man's exclamation, Zhang Qiling looked back and saw packaging bags all over the floor. There were at least four empty bags, and he was holding the fifth bag and gnawing on it!
Zhang Qiling walked around the fat man and took away the compressed biscuit in Lin Yi's hand. He saw that this piece was half eaten. In the past, he could only eat half of it at most!
He stared at Lin Yi seriously: "What's wrong?"
"I'm accumulating energy." Lin Yi reached out to take the compressed biscuit in Zhang Qiling's hand, but before taking it out, he looked into his eyes and said seriously again: "Accumulating energy."
Replicating and repairing wounds with nanomechanical particles requires energy. If you were bitten at the beginning, you still don’t know what kind of injuries you will suffer later.
It cannot be recharged underground, and it will be over if you turn off the phone after consuming the original energy, so you need to eat more to save energy for later use.
Zhang Qiling reached out and touched Lin Yi's belly, and after confirming that he would not be strangled to death, he released the compressed biscuit bag and allowed him to continue eating.
Seeing that the little brother didn't care, the fat man quickly went to grab it: "No, little brother, we can't let Dr. Lin eat like this!"
"I touched it, but it doesn't hold up." Zhang Qiling walked around the fat man and returned to his original position to sit.
The fat man's eyes widened in shock: "Isn't it right? You can't hold it even after eating so many compressed biscuits!?"
He reached out to touch it out of curiosity, but Lin Yi didn't resist in order to prevent him from making a fuss.
The fat man took a few strokes and found that Lin Yi's stomach was really flat. He looked at him like he was looking at a rare animal: "Hey, Dr. Lin's stomach is like a bottomless pit. There is no reaction at all after eating."
After saying that, he thoughtfully helped Lin Yi open a bottle of water: "Don't just eat dry food. You'll choke. Drink some water."
As soon as Lin took the water and took a sip, he put it down. After chewing on the pack of compressed biscuits in his hand, he stopped nibbling.
…
Wu Xie and Lao Chi climbed up the stairs to the platform and made a fire with the rotten wood around to dry their clothes.
Lao Itch borrowed Wu Xie's knife to disembowel the fish. He slashed the fish's stomach to see if there was any equipment inside.
As soon as he made a gash with the knife, Wu Xie felt a stench coming towards his face, which made him almost ejaculate. He immediately covered his nose and complained: "What did this fish grow up on? It's so smelly?"
"It's really smelly, isn't it because it's eating the mud at the bottom of the water?" Lao Itch kept moving, sliding the fish's stomach open.
"Salmon is not silver carp, it's all dirty..." Wuxie swallowed the rest of the words, because a round thing rolled out of the fish's stomach that was cut open, and the thing rolled straight to his feet and stopped. Come down.
"F*ck!" Wu Xie's face turned pale, and after blurting out the quintessence of Chinese culture, he subconsciously kicked out the bloody human head that was stained with gastric juices.
The head flew out, fell into the water with a 'plop' and sank.
Lao Itch was also shocked: "Damn it! This thing is really cannibalistic!"
Now he no longer wanted to eat the fish, and pushed the fish into the water in disgust.
Wu Xie's bag was half broken, and he sorted out the remaining items and put them into Lao Itchy's bag.
After drying his clothes, Wu Xie, feeling unlucky, suggested walking along the stone path at the back.
Lao Itch felt that there might be other piranhas lurking in the water, so he agreed to Wu Xie's suggestion.
The two of them walked towards the stone path with flashlights, Lao Itchy leading the way. The head was still fresh, so he suspected that there was another wave of people ahead.
At the end of the stone path is a stone chamber. The stone chamber seems to have no other exits. There is a large stone coffin on the coffin bed in the middle.
The relief carvings on the sarcophagus are very exquisite, but they are obviously not finished. In some places, only general figures are carved without details.
The stone of the sarcophagus showed a translucent luster like mutton-fat jade under the light of a flashlight. Out of curiosity, he approached the sarcophagus and touched it.
He found that the sarcophagus had a crack as big as an arm. Curious about what kind of innocence was inside, he held his flashlight at the crack and shined a light into the sarcophagus.
After looking at it for a long time, I found that there seemed to be something inside. It was too dark to see clearly, and the flashlight was too big to fit inside.
Wuxie turned around and called Lao Itch: "Lao Itch, there seems to be something in the coffin. Let's push it away and take a look!"
Lao Itch hesitated: "That's not good, Lao Wu. There won't be any zongzi in the coffin, right?"
Based on his own experience, Wuxie said: "It shouldn't be the case. I have never seen someone bury the coffin first and then carve the coffin. There should be other things inside..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lao Itch take a few steps back with a horrified expression. Wuxie was about to ask him what was going on, when he suddenly felt his wrist holding the flashlight go cold, as if he had been caught by something.
Wu Xie turned around suddenly and found a pale and skinny hand grabbing his wrist. The hand had uneven yellow nails, and it looked like it was not a living hand.
He was shocked, he was being targeted by Zongzi!
Wu Xie only felt that his heart was beating wildly, and he pumped his hand regardless of it. Zongzi's physical fitness was definitely not as strong as that of a living person. As long as he used force, he might be able to break Zongzi's hand.
boom!
Unfortunately, before his hand could break free, Wu Xie felt like he was hit hard on the back of his head, and his eyes fainted.
After he fainted, the skinny hand let go, and three people worked together to push open the sarcophagus and release the people inside.
It turned out that what was in the sarcophagus was not some kind of rice dumpling, but that Uncle Tai.
Wu Xie opened his eyes in a daze and saw a skinny farmer-like old man squatting in front of him. When he looked carefully, he found that it was the Uncle Tai he had met before entering the mountain!
"Are you awake? Two young men are here to fight. They are looking for death. You two, please be honest and I will spare your lives when we get out." After Uncle Tai threatened, he stopped caring about Wuxie and the others.
