Chapter 50: Fire Beetle
The other water ghosts suddenly cowered together with fear on their faces, "Don't block us, we didn't mean to hurt people, let us go!"
My sharp eyes stared straight at any of them, "Didn't you mean it? It's better to say than to sing! Look at the bones here, there must be your own here! Even the children are not spared, those are from your village, and in the end, you have turned them into ghosts, or I will send you away."
As I spoke, I quickly pulled out a soul exorcism talisman and silently recited the spell in my heart, and in an instant the soul exorcism charm sucked them in, sandwiching the soul exorcism charm between my fingers, and the thought of the spell suddenly turned into ashes.
However, I still missed the little water ghost who dragged me into the lake, and I saw him hiding in the corner, his innocent eyes constantly flashing with fear "You blocked them?"
"No, send them where they need to go, you should go too, and relive your baby" Just as I activated the exorcism, a small rock smashed into me.
"Sister Mage, you're a kind mage, aren't you, I'll have to tell you how to get out of here before I go."
I paused, "No, I'll find my way out on my own."
"When passing through this cave, be careful of the cow ghost, it is a combination of the soul of the dead and the soul of the cow, there is one thing guarding in the ancient tomb, and there is a fire beetle, remember to leave the ancient tomb quickly, don't touch anything inside"
Looking at the little water ghost walking towards me, I didn't say anything, because I had seen all the things it said in my grandmother's diary, and sent it away. Scanning the piles of corpses on the ground, and looking up at the Celestial Eye, which was only fifty centimeters in size, it was obvious that all the light was shining through the Celestial Eye.
And where I was, there was a winding underground river, and the sound of the gurgling water was very pleasant, and it must have been very turbulent, and the waterway was both impassable and hidden many dangers. At the moment, I could only choose to enter the cave of the ancient tomb, and looking at the hole that was only about one meter wide and high, I frowned and walked towards it.
I had only taken two steps before I paused, for I saw a terrible scene, a body about the size of two fingers, with black and brown markings, a pair of extra-large pincers on its forelimbs, and about three pairs of tiny legs, crawling very fast, and I saw it burrow through a hard bull's skull, and suddenly the bull's skull was torn open a complete hole.
Obviously, it was just the speed of the blink of an eye, even if those cow bones were weathered for a certain amount of time, it was inevitably too fast! Suddenly I remembered what the little water ghost had just said, and suddenly, I subconsciously swallowed my saliva, and I didn't even dare to breathe a big breath.
I thought that the dangerous period had passed like this, but who knows, as soon as I took the second step, there was a "bang" sound behind me, and I listened carefully, I turned my head with a look of surprise and looked at the dense large number of ---- fire beetles, which were quickly climbing ashore from the underground dark river, looking at the terrifying picture, I saw a group of fire beetles densely passing through the pile of bones suddenly there was not even slag left.
This scene scared my scalp numb, it turned out that those water ghosts killed people and caught large fish, in order to prepare food for these terrible insects, this fire beetle is the guardian of the ancient tomb of the underground river. And the reason why those water ghosts can't leave here is because of this ancient tomb.
The palm of the hand that clenched the soul wand, I don't know when a cold sweat broke out, and even my feet were trembling, I don't want to die without even a corpse, and I don't want to be food for these disgusting insects, so I immediately rushed into the entrance of the ancient tomb cave with endless survival**.
After entering the entrance of the cave, there was a side chamber of an ancient tomb that appeared in my field of vision, there was no gold and silver treasure in it, only a huge coffin, the coffin was very luxurious and solemn, carved dragons and phoenixes, it must be a tomb of a dignitary.
I don't know why this underground crypt was so bright when it appeared before my eyes, as if it had a light tube installed, of course these are some exaggerations, but in my real vision, it was really bright.
However, at that time, I didn't have the heart to think about these problems, looking at the blocked stone door of the side room, I raised the dementor stick and smashed it down directly, "bang" The stone that firmly blocked the door of the side room was smashed open, for a while, I didn't dare to go in immediately, even if the ferocious fire beetle was chasing me and took out a few fire charms, at this time, I was glad that I had time to study all kinds of charms, and I was even more glad that I jumped into the lake and was not washed away.
"Fire Talisman, Enlightenment" When I was silently reciting the spell, a small fire talisman suddenly became several times larger, manipulating the fire talisman and covering the fire talisman on top of the fire beetle, like a huge quilt, the "whoosh" fire talisman immediately burned, and the fire beetles that were burned alive made a crackling sound, as loud as the sound of firecrackers.
Looking at the raging fire in front of me, I breathed a great sigh of relief, and I immediately sat down on the ground and "almost ······" Suddenly, I was propped up on my left arm on the ground, and a baby fire beetle crawled up, and I was startled, and before I could get it away, its two extremely sharp pincers pierced into my arm.
In the blink of an eye, a small piece of flesh had been eaten off my arm, and my forehead was already covered with beads of sweat the size of a bean grain, and I quickly took out the fire charm, activated the spell, took out the fire beetle that had entered my arm, and threw it into the flames with all my might.
I sat down on the ground, I was so tired, and the wound on my arm felt a pain from time to time, worried that it was poisonous or infected, and I was really finished, "I must get out of this place quickly!"
Standing up with the help of the dementor stick, I stared at the door of the side room, my brow furrowed, perhaps because I had yin and yang eyes, and I could see the continuous discharge of poisonous gases one after another.
After another ten minutes like this, I went in with a solemn countenance, for nothing else, first, I had to find my way out, second, I had to find the red thatch, and third, I had to get out alive, which was my first priority.
I never thought that when I entered that door, there was a huge cow pit inside, piled up with mountains of cow bones, and on the other side were countless neatly arranged coffins, perhaps because the environment was good, the cow bones and coffins were well preserved, especially the cows, as if they had just died.
