Chapter VII Waterways

"This is also a sudden decision in the past few days, I heard that it seems that there are outside tomb robbers coming in again, but it is still a large number of people, the largest in history."

"The patriarch said that if the heroic spirit of the Yellow Emperor is disturbed under his protection, then it is his sin, and his soul will never rest in peace, so he can only take the first step, as long as the Yellow Emperor can be resurrected, then his task will be completed!"

Wang Agui endured the maggot-like pain in his body and tried his best to calm down, "You said that a sacrifice ceremony will be held soon, this is very fast, how fast is it?" ”

"It should be the day after tomorrow!"

Wang Agui was silent, and he didn't speak again.

A Double Happiness cigarette appeared in his hand, and with a "click", bursts of smoke slowly filled the small room.

……

The next day, Double Happiness woke up.

After learning the news of the sacrificial ceremony, he was also silent for a long time.

The two of them were in a small room the size of a palm, and neither of them spoke first.

Feeling the dizzy feeling brought by nicotine in his mind, Wang Agui enjoyed it very much, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

This may well be the last hour.

Although the injuries suffered by Hong Shuangxi were severe, most of them were skin injuries. Coupled with the fact that this guy has rough skin and thick meat, and he has Wang Agui's strong medical ability, there is basically no major problem at this time.

But the silence in the room was terrible.

"You two are talking about something, don't be like a stuffy gourd!" The first to be anxious was Wang Dazhi.

Exhaling softly, Wang Agui smiled: "Do you know? Smoke is a very amazing thing, it can make me forget the pain and despair, would you like to have one too? ”

Wang Dazhi didn't say anything, just stared at him directly, his eyes were obvious, like looking at a fool.

Although he is a mausoleum keeper, he is different from other mausoleum keepers, he does not want to sacrifice his life for this Yellow Emperor who can't fight together.

"We still have one day, and I remember a very famous person who said that time is the material of life, so don't waste time."

Wang Agui stuffed a cigarette into Wang Dazhi's mouth.

"So, enjoy what might be the last day, and don't waste it."

The day's time, in the midst of two "tomb robbers" and a deviant mausoleum keeper, soon came to an end.

"Before the sacrificial ceremony begins, the patriarch will arrange a large number of clansmen to guard layer by layer, and we can't enter from the outside, so we have to take a small path."

"We won't be hindered by any of our clansmen, but ......"

"However, compared to the flat road, the danger factor of the trail is increased exponentially." Wang Agui continued.

"There's a great chance we'll lose our lives because of this!"

"If we don't take the trail, we will also die when the sacrificial ceremony is over, and we will be treated as a damned sacrifice and become the nourishment for the resurrection of the Yellow Emperor."

Hong Shuangxi said fiercely, "To go or not is to die, there is still a glimmer of life if you go, there is no choice, it's a big deal." ”

Wang Dazhi nodded, it is true, although it is very dangerous to take the trail, and even if you successfully arrive to catch up with the sacrificial ceremony, whether you can stop the sacrificial ceremony is another matter, but now there is no choice.

Wang Dazhi took a deep breath, "First of all, we will pass through a waterway......"

……

A simple wooden boat made of a few pieces of wood slowly floats down the water.

It was pitch black all around, visibility was extremely low, and the torch in Double Happiness's hand became the only source of light at the moment.

It was so quiet that you could only hear the sound of the boat floating and the water flowing on the water.

Occasionally, there was a "tick", and the three of them would immediately tense their heartstrings, and when they looked closely, they turned out to be small droplets of water dripping from above.

The passage was so long that it was impossible to see at a glance, and the boundless darkness seemed to swallow up the three of them, and the light had almost faded, leaving only a thick despair.

Wang Agui sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't know if he would be able to see tomorrow's sun again this time.

The torches could only shine within a meter of the wooden boat, and the black water surface was like the mouth of a giant beast, and the three of them were hairy at the bottom of their hearts.

Even the most daring Double Happiness, in this case, no longer returns to the same playful color as before, and the big grinning temper has also been reined in.

Obviously, this time, even he doesn't think the situation is optimistic.

Then, a slight shock broke the silence of the three people who had been silent for a long time.

This came from the wooden boat under his feet.

It was a small, small sound, but all three of them heard it, like someone had hit his head against a wall.

Hongshuang jumped up in surprise, and the huge weight almost caused the entire wooden boat to flip over, "Damn, what's it?" ”

Wang Agui was dissatisfied and wanted to blame him, but he was suddenly stunned.

Under the water of the wooden boat, a huge bug about the size of a fist, like an egg, with two tentacles on its head, just dived from the water.

Wang Agui happened to catch a glimpse of the teeth that seemed to exude the aura of the forest. 、

According to the size of the insect, if you bite it, it is estimated that you will have to lose at least a layer of skin, besides, who knows if this guy is poisonous or not, those creatures in the mausoleum, some of them have even survived for thousands of years, and they are about to become sperm.

"Be careful, there's something underwater~"

Before Wang Agui's words fell, another violent impact came from under the wooden boat.

"Bang!"

The three of them could even vaguely feel a blow under their feet.

Wang Dazhi's face immediately became gloomy, as if he could drip water, "We seem to have encountered a ghost-faced fish." ”

"Ghost fish? What is this? ”

Wang Dazhi took a deep breath, "The ghost-faced fish, like us mausoleum guards, is tasked with guarding the serenity and tranquility of this mausoleum, and they have lived here for thousands of years. ”

"Ghost-faced fish are extremely aggressive, bloodthirsty, and carnivorous, and their prey will face endless pursuit until one of them dies. Whether it is a mausoleum keeper or a tomb robber, as long as they enter the territory of the ghost-faced fish, they are basically dead. ”

"Ghost fish mostly live in groups, the number of a population may be hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, and the most important point is that in the process of evolution for so many years, ghost fish can be landed."

At this moment, the three of them only felt that the impact sound under their feet was becoming more and more intense and dense.

There was a sudden "bang" on the water surface, and a black shadow shot out, with a foul smell.

Red Shuangxi's eyes were quick, and before the black shadow could get closer, he had already shot it down.

Only then did the three of them see the true appearance of this "ghost-faced fish".

"Is this a fish? It's just a bug! Double Happiness looked left and right at the ghost-faced fish wriggling on the boat, and no matter which direction it looked, it didn't look like a fish.

The body of the ghost-faced fish looks like an enlarged version of a rat woman, with an indistinct number of pairs of feet densely distributed on both sides of the body, almost comparable to a centipede. The only difference was in the head of the ghost-faced fish, which was huge, hideous, and occupied almost half of the teeth of the entire head.

Although the ghost fish had many pairs of feet, the slender pairs of feet were not enough to support the huge body of the ghost fish, because although it kept squirming on the ground, more precisely, crawling, it did not climb far.

"It's a bug, but because it lives in the water all the time, people call it a fish." Wang Dazhi took out a bamboo stick-like thing from his arms, stabbed it straight into the mouth of the ghost-faced fish, came out of the tail, and directly pierced the entire body.

Looking at the ghost-faced fish that was constantly writhing, a trace of gloom flashed in Wang Dazhi's eyes, "These guys have extremely strong vitality, even if they are cut into two pieces, they can still survive." Especially the carapace on the back, people with less strength can't cut it with a knife, and the only weakness is its fragile mouth. ”

The ghost-faced fish did not die immediately after being pierced through its body, and struggled desperately, the feet on both sides of its body kept swinging, as if crazy.

The green blood fell from its mouth onto the wooden boat and made a "snort" sound, but in a moment, the wood dripping with blood actually rose into a wispy green smoke and turned black.

"Their blood is not only highly toxic, but also extremely corrosive, and it is a big problem to be splashed with this thing's blood." After Wang Dazhi finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the ghost-faced fish fell in response to the sound and fell into the water.

At this time, the vicinity of the wooden boat has been surrounded by dense ghost-faced fish, and there is a "bang bang" sound from time to time under the feet, and the whole wooden boat is jolted and swaying from side to side.

The ghost-faced fish had just been thrown into the water, and suddenly, the ghost-faced fish in all directions seemed to be stimulated, rushing up to bite and pull. The ghost-faced fish were extremely clever and avoided the carapace on the back of the injured ghost-faced fish, and all of them targeted the vulnerable areas of the abdomen and feet.

In the blink of an eye, the ghost-faced fish had been eaten by all the fish.

After the fish finished eating the ghost-faced fish, they immediately surrounded the wooden boat. Fortunately, the buoyancy of the wooden boat is good, and the number of above the water is more than enough. Although the ghost-faced fish could go ashore, it was not yet fully evolved enough to fully climb onto the wooden boat.

In this way, in the dark and invisible river, a small boat, carrying three people, slowly flowed forward along the river under the insignificant firelight.

Slowly, more and more ghost-faced fish accumulated around the boat. A layer of water floated up on the entire water, and at a glance, it was all black, and although I couldn't see it in the distance, I could feel it by listening to the sound, and there were more ghost-faced fish joining in.

The ghost-faced fish seemed to have sensed the taste of food, and its huge teeth couldn't stop closing one by one, making a creepy grinding sound, just waiting for Wang Agui and the three of them to fall into the water.

With the increase in the amount of water of the ghost fish, there are already ghost fish that can climb the wooden boat with their opposite feet, although they cannot completely climb up, but they are only adsorbed on both sides and swaying with the wooden boat, and they will soon fall into the water again. But as everyone knows, this is not good news.

Hong Shuangxi couldn't bear it anymore at first, and scolded: "Fuck, why are these ugly things endless, is there an end?" ”

Wang Dazhi said: "This ghost-faced fish has a strong reproductive ability, and it is fierce and aggressive, and there are almost no opponents in this water, if it were not for the food that limited their number, I am afraid that even the entire mausoleum would be their figure." ”

As he spoke, there were already two ghost-faced fish slowly squirming and crawling up with difficulty, but they were immediately pierced by Wang Agui's Falling Phoenix Sword, and the splashed blood immediately corroded the wood into black.

Then, with a slight sound, the whole wooden boat suddenly shook violently. Before the three of them could react, in Wang Agui's incredible eyes, the tail of the wooden boat suddenly split into two halves.

Wang Dazhi suddenly shouted urgently, "It's not good, they bit off the rope." ”

The wooden boat is very simple to make, just a few ropes tied together at random, and once the ropes are counted, there is no place to land around, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Even with Double Happiness, I don't dare to guarantee that I will survive even if I let you change in a thousand ways, coupled with Wang Agui's medical ability, let alone Wang Dazhi.

Another sound struck Wang Agui's already tense heartstrings.

Then, the wooden boat, which was more than a meter wide, was under the eyelids of the three of them, and it was divided into two halves.

It turned out that the wooden boat was already very small, and it was already very crowded to accommodate three adults, but now the area was suddenly half smaller, and the three of them had to stand next to each other.

But the urging devil's voice did not let the three of them go, but after a while, the sound came from the feet of the three of them
