Looking at Xiao Yue's frightened content, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

She was looking behind me with a frightened expression, desperately grabbing my wrists with both hands for comfort.

"It's okay... It's okay, it's all gone. ”

I stroked her long hair softly, the delicate and soft feeling wandering between my fingertips, but I accidentally saw her silver hairpin, which was sparkling in my eyes.

Following the dim flame in my hand, I seemed to faintly see a figure reflected behind me by the hairpin.

She wore a big red robe in a ghost costume, and the back of her head was tied with the hair pendant of the ancients, but the light was so blurry that I could never see her face obscured by the black hair.

"TM's I'm afraid that you won't show up, since you came out, let's see how Lao Tzu kills you."

I was secretly thinking about my plan, and I didn't have any weapons to take advantage of at the moment, so I had to pull out the waistband of my trousers hidden under the hospital gown.

This belt is made of the purest buffalo leather, and although it looks unattractive, it is strong and durable.

In addition, there are iron hammers fixed at both ends of the belt, and even if it is suddenly wielded, the power is amazing.

I vaguely estimated the location of the red-robed female ghost, just under the stone platform that I had just vaguely discovered, and the simple patterns on the stone pillar platform were simple and unpretentious.

I couldn't help but suddenly think of the record of the Soul Lantern in the diary.

Legend has it that it burns mermaid fat, which can remain inextinguished for 3,000 years and has a very low ignition point, even if there is no open flame to rub heat out of the air, it can ignite the wick.

Therefore, it can also be used as a means of deterring tomb robbers, which can send chills down the spine.

"Wait for me here, I'll see what this thing is up to."

I gently stroked Xiao Yue's cheek, and then burned the flame of the lighter in my hand to the maximum.

In the faint light, the blazing flames emitted a warm glow, and even the courage was a little bigger.

I cautiously walked towards the location of the Soul Lamp, until the light source illuminated the path in front of me, but there was nothing around except for the huge and unpretentious stone pillar.

"There are no female ghosts, could it be that they have hallucinated for so long."

In the light of the lighter in my hand, I found that there were a few grooves embedded in the stone pillar, which seemed to be for a person to crawl to the top and light the wick.

I didn't dare to let go of my defense, but if I could set the huge stone pillar in front of me on fire, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

Then he slowly put the lighter in his arms, and climbed the huge stone pillar little by little with his hand and intuition.

It wasn't until my body was almost seven or eight meters above the ground that I had a vague sense that it seemed strangely empty.

Standing on a high place and feeling the cold wind blowing in the darkness towards the front door, I couldn't help but shudder in my soul.

"TM, this doesn't look like a soul lamp in an ancient tomb, but instead it seems to be some kind of huge stone carving ornament, similar to a sculpture."

But because of the light, I couldn't figure out what it was.

Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly smelled all kinds of oily smell above my head.

This strange smell surrounds the top of the head, and it really seems to be like the fish oil of the East China Sea that Wu Laogou wrote in his diary.

I couldn't help but feel a little excited, secretly thinking that I had bet on the right direction, and then climbed up desperately.

First the first light stand, followed by the upward climb is the second and third.

When all the light on the stone pillar in front of me was ignited, and the great warmth shone in my heart, I was tired and panting and barely crawled back to the ground.

looked at the fire in front of him reflecting this stone pillar, but suddenly found that where was this lampstand, it was clearly a huge stone sword.

The sword stood like a giant pillar of optimus, covered with quaint patterns, and at the top every few meters, there was a lamp bowl filled with mermaid oil.

When all the lights are illuminated, the whole scene is both spectacular and eerie, like a giant sword plunged straight into the ground, which is estimated to be more than ten meters long.

I looked at the scene in front of me and couldn't help but shine with a fine light in my eyes, but with the huge fire lit, I seemed to be able to faintly see that there were many stone carvings on display on the left and right sides of the stone pillars.

They were also incomparably large, like giants in the sky, and they could be faintly seen as human figures in battle armor.

"Xiao Yue, come and see what this is."

I shouted excitedly, but there was no response behind me.

When I turned my head again, I was already a little confused, but I felt a little bit on the wall with the touch of memory to reach that corner.

The scene in front of me in the next second couldn't help but make my scalp tingle, and cold sweat was dripping down my face.

Xiao Yue, who promised me to stay where she was, disappeared in the corner, and there was no figure around.

"It's broken."

I knew something was wrong, but before my brain could react, I heard a loud sound of landing.

"Plop."

It was the sound of the iron boots worn by the ancient generals rubbing against the hard bluestone brick floor, echoing in the empty tomb, which made people's hearts tighten.

"TM's, it's really ghostly."

I stared at the bloody eyes, and the fierce light burst out of my eyes, looking at the empty corner, Xiao Yue seemed to disappear out of thin air as if the world had evaporated.

"Xiao Yue!"

I let out a loud cry and ran desperately in the direction of the footsteps, as the faint light of the lighter in my hand illuminated the scene in front of me.

But I only saw three tall figures, clutching the scimitar at my waist, approaching me step by step.

Their bodies were a little shaky, as if they had to exert great strength with every step, and they were wearing tattered armor.

In the dim light, I could faintly see the tiny hairs on the faces of these moving "dried corpses".

It's just that I didn't notice such a change when I was on it, and I thought to myself, maybe this is the reason why they cheated the corpse.

I am not afraid of these slow-moving walking dead, but I am a little worried about Xiaoyue's safety, so I have to fight for my life in whatever I say.

I never found out that little girl would be so important to me, but the two of them are like so-called year-old friends, in this world of deceit.

Except for her profound knowledge, the rest is almost innocent.

I jerked my foot up and kicked at the first corpse in front of me, and the force was so great that my entire left leg went numb and I almost fell to the ground.

"TM, ahem..."

Looking at the little black blood spilling out of my mouth, I knew that it wasn't that they were terrible, but that the cancer cells that had been rampant in the body for a long time had destroyed the functions of the small half of the body.

This is an invisible ****, when the cells spread to the whole body, I should go to see Lao Yan under the Nine Shadows.

"Fight!"

The movement of the three dried corpses in front of me became faster and faster, and in the dim light, I didn't bother to pick up the lighter at all, but I felt a fishy wind coming from the tip of my nose.

The sound of the blade breaking through the wind echoed in the back of my head, and I couldn't even bend away from it, so I quickly bent down to dodge the terrible blow.

"Bang."

Rusty steel knives are terrifyingly sharp despite thousands of years of corrosion.

A single blow slashed over my head, slashing at a massive pillar of stone behind me.

I took aim and saw the right moment to rush towards the nearest corpse in front of me, the cowhide belt in my hand wrapped around his neck desperately.

In the dim light, I could faintly see that it was covered with tiny white hairs, like a fungus wreaking havoc inside it.

I'm no stranger to the word "fungus."

More than ten years ago, when I was in the soul removal team, I also encountered many cases of fungi attaching to corpses to produce supernatural events.

It's called a "corpse mushroom", and when it takes root in the abdomen of the corpse, it can control the corpse's limbs to walk when it is fully hydrated.

However, looking at the "living dead" wearing battle armor in front of him, it doesn't look like he is controlled by a fungus, but as recorded in Wu Laogou's book.

It is resurrected by borrowing people's yang energy and becoming a terrible "big zongzi".

I let out a loud cry, and the cowhide belt in my hands that was around the old man's neck was almost straight.

At the moment, I was back-to-back with him, and this thing was slow but powerful, with only his dead end behind me.

The sound of footsteps in front of him gradually approached, and the fishy smell emitted by the burning mermaid candle above his head filled the entire tomb.

I seemed to see the two "big zongzi" holding steel knives in their hands, limping and approaching me with stiff steps.

They were covered in white hair, too, but they didn't seem to be as thick as the dude behind me, and even their speed couldn't match it.

"TM's, how to fight three to one".

I knew in my heart that this place was going to be my own burial ground today, so I gritted my teeth and twisted the zombie behind me hanging upside down.

"Get on the pillar!"

I looked at the huge carved pillar of the "Ancient Sword" with blue bricks inserted straight into it in front of me, and I held the only remaining trace of life in my heart.

Desperately crawling up the place where he had just climbed.

The bladeless blade of the heavy sword is covered with quaint patterns, but I can't figure out which master will be the hand of a huge stone carving art like this?

What is it used for in the ancient tomb, is it a corpse sword?

The three "big zongzi" under the feet swayed from side to side under the candlestick, and the long knife covered with rust in the hand slashed at the simple and unpretentious "sword pillar" from time to time, bursting out a series of sparks.

I'm still having lingering apprehensions, but luckily this thing doesn't have that much IQ.

The five candlesticks embedded in the top of the "Sword Pillar" were already all under my feet, and above my head was the endless darkness and the smell of mermaid oil everywhere.

This position already seems to have reached the top.

However, with the touch of the darkness, I can still vaguely feel that there is still a stone ridge above my head for people to climb, as if there is no end.

I was thinking to myself, but suddenly I noticed that the group of dried corpses under my feet suddenly staggered towards the southeast corner, as if I had found more easily accessible prey.

"Xiao Yue!"

I came to my senses at once, and desperately retreated the way I came.

Until Xiao Yue's voice echoed in the entire empty tomb with a scream of fear, I didn't care that there was still a distance of seven or eight meters above my feet.

Then he jumped down, and before his feet landed on the ground, he limped desperately and ran towards Xiao Yue's position.

Hiding in the southwest corner, she didn't know when she ran to the opposite corner, a blood-stained white coat wrapped around her petite body.

At this time, facing the steel knives raised by the three "big zongzi", he was already at a loss and hiding in the corner of the wall trembling.

It is said that at the most critical moment, human potential is unlimited.

I don't know how I picked her up in that situation, but I feel that the sparkling wind behind me will definitely become the ghost of the big zongzi if she slows down by half a step.
