Chapter 22: The Ghost Coffin Emerges

"Ahh

There were screams from the people ahead, and a middle-aged man playing suona was dragged into the river by several huge corpse-eating water beasts. Before he could poke his head out of the water, dozens of corpse-eating water beasts swarmed up, frantically gnawing at the man.

The sharp fangs easily tore apart the middle-aged man's body, and the surface of the water turned a terrifying blood-red. The man didn't even have time to struggle, and the beasts were bitten by the herd, leaving only the bones of the corpse.

I watched as a ghoul water beast dragged out of the man's intestines and chewed it in the water.

"Mo San, why are you stunned, be careful behind you!" Lian Mingche suddenly shouted at me.

I came back to my senses, and when I turned to look, I saw that a corpse-eating water beast had crawled behind me at some point, opening its mouth and biting my ankle. I suddenly became angry, raised the broken oar in my hand, and plunged it into the air.

With a pop, the oars pierced the corpse water beast's body from top to bottom, pinning it firmly to the ground. The ghoul rat let out two screams, and a wisp of blood came out of its mouth, soaking its white fur. I lifted the "meat skewer" and threw the body of the water beast far into the water.

The army of ghould-eating water beasts is like a row of white water waves, constantly rushing towards the boat, and the people on board have reached the end of their crossbows.

We looked at the unflinching herd in a sweat, each with a look of despair on our faces.

"Use fire! Use the fire! Someone suddenly shouted, and I quickly turned around and ran to the oil tank, and walked out with a heavy iron bucket.

The drums are full of diesel, and we have no time to think about how to sail the boat when we run out of fuel, and we need to solve the current predicament before we can escape.

I rushed forward, poured all the diesel fuel in the iron bucket into the water, and then Lian Mingche took out a windproof lighter and threw it on the water.

Hula!

The diesel fuel floating on the water immediately burned and spread across the river at a very fast speed, like a fiery red lotus flower that bloomed in an instant, illuminating the surrounding scene in an instant.

The blazing crowd gave us hope of survival, and the waves of fire surged in layers, and the beasts suddenly fell into a panic. The fur of those ghoul water beasts was very flammable, only the crackling sound was heard, and there was a thick paste in the air, and many of the ghoul water beasts that approached the ship turned into burning fireballs, rolling around in the water, letting out a terrible scream, and finally slowly sinking to the bottom of the icy river.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the beasts, the captain of the boat started the boat, and with the roar of the motor, our iron boat suddenly rushed out of the encirclement of the beasts.

We quickly analyzed the situation around us, and there were still a lot of corpse-eating water beasts gathered in front of us, blocking the way out of the escape. If you want to force your way out, you may not succeed and you will be caught up by the herd behind you.

So, after a little summing up, the boss quickly turned the rudder, and the iron boat sailed out of the temple, where we could only stay.

Under the cover of the raging flames, the tin ship broke through a gap in the encirclement of the beasts. Seeing this, several other ships also quickly started their boats, followed closely behind us, and rushed out one after another.

The oil on the surface of the water was quickly burned out, and countless charred ghoul water beasts floated in the water. When the fire was completely extinguished, the scattered herd regrouped and chased after them at great speed.

I couldn't help but scold: "Uncle, these ghosts are really ghostly!" ”

Four boats came to the shore one after another, and I bundled the cables on the ghost head stone carving, and jumped off the boat first.

Bang! Bang!

Lian Mingche killed several corpse-eating water beasts one after another, covering us all the way to the platform.

The people who sent the ghost relatives also jumped off the boat and rushed to the platform.

Before we could breathe a sigh of relief, the beasts of Baihuahua had already chased down the platform, like the warriors who were besieging the city and plundering the pool, and they rushed up along the stone steps, and there were still hundreds of them.

The people turned pale with fright, and there was no effective weapon to stop the herd, so they had no choice but to quickly retreat into the Fishbone Temple.

The door of the Fishbone Temple is open, and once the beasts rush into the temple, then we can only wait for death in the Fishbone Temple? But now, if you don't retreat into the Fishbone Temple, you will immediately die on the platform, and all that will be eaten away is a pile of white bones.

Watching the herd approach, we were caught in a dilemma.

At this time, Uncle Jiu proposed: "Isn't there a bronze tripod there?" Quickly block the temple gate with Dading! ”

Uncle Nine was very authoritative in that team, and those people obeyed him. As soon as he said this, several strong men immediately ran over and worked together to push the bronze tripod out.

Several strong men exerted their strength and shouted slogans: "One, two, three!" Come on! ”

It stands to reason that it is not difficult for a few strong men to promote this bronze tripod. But what is strange is that Dading did not show any signs of moving forward, but slowly turned a few times in a counterclockwise direction. Just when several strong men were stunned, there was a sudden rumbling sound outside the Fishbone Temple.

To everyone's surprise, the herd of beasts that had already rushed to the gate of the temple stopped their progress incredulously after hearing this rumbling sound.

Immediately afterward, the tide of white ghoul water beasts quickly receded, coming and going as they did when they appeared.

We looked at the scene in disbelief and couldn't believe that things could take such a turn.

After a moment of silence, the tense heartstrings finally relaxed, and people gasped for breath. Some people knelt down at the gate of the temple and kowtowed vigorously, "Thank you for the grace of the sea rakshasa!" Thank you, Sea Rakshasa! ”

Wiping the sweat on my forehead, I also breathed a long sigh of relief, it was really dangerous just now, and before I knew it, we had already walked away in the ghost gate.

The herd vanished completely, and the water cavern returned to its previous silence.

People came back to their senses and turned their eyes to the bronze tripod in the center of the temple, and no one understood what was going on just now?

Where did that deafening sound come from? Why did the herd disappear immediately after hearing this strange sound? There are so many secrets hidden inside this cave.

Black Sunglasses walked in front of the bronze tripod, stretched out his hand and patted the tripod and said, "Judging by my years of experience, this bronze tripod is likely to be a mechanism!" When they were pushing just now, they inadvertently activated the hidden mechanism. If I'm not mistaken, the sound just now came from the activation of the mechanism. ”

"Mechanism?!" We walked over curiously: "What mechanism does this bronze tripod control?" ”

Black Sunglasses said: "It's not clear for the time being, continue to turn Dading to see, maybe there will be a discovery." ”

Several strong men answered, and began to continue to rotate the bronze tripod.

Listening to the muffled sound before, it was obvious that the sound was coming from outside the Fishbone Temple, so we ran out of the Fishbone Temple one after another, wanting to see what was going on.

We stood on a platform a few feet high and followed the sound to the middle of the pool. I saw a whirlpool in the middle of the pool, and a dark shadow was slowly emerging from below, as if something was about to rush out of the water.

My heart is pounding, there must be some monster hidden down here, right?

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of rattling, and the thick chains of nine baby's arms burst out of the water. Due to the long years of immersion under the cold river water, the surface of the bronze chains was condensed with layers of white frost, and the bronze chains were polished by the water to shine black, and there was a faint flash of light on them.

We couldn't help but be stunned, what are these bronze chains for?

With a steady stream of loud noises, the nine bronze chains slowly rose into the air, slowly stretching and straightening in all four directions within the cave. Only then did we realize that the nine bronze chains were hidden in the darkness above the roof of the cave. As Black Sunglasses said, the bronze tripod in the temple and the nine bronze chains are a set of mechanisms, as long as you turn the bronze tripod in the fishbone temple, you can activate the nine bronze chains.

When the nine bronze chains were completely above the water, they rose to about twenty meters above the surface of the water and came to a halt.

At this time, everyone standing on the shore let out an exclamation, because people were surprised to find that the nine thick bronze chains were actually dragging a huge black coffin in the air!

The black coffin was heavy and heavy, and there were many copper lotus flowers on it, like an ancient demon beast tied in mid-air.

The coffin was about three meters long and about two meters wide, exuding a gloomy smell of death.

The surface of the coffin was condensed with a thin layer of frost, like a large freezer. Droplets of water were constantly dripping down, playing a strange ticking sound on the surface of the water.

The black coffin had a total of nine copper rings on its body, and nine thick chains passed through each of the nine copper rings.

We looked at the black coffin in mid-air in amazement, and we couldn't speak for a while.

What kind of place is this place?

Why is there a black coffin hidden under the river?

Who buried the black coffin here?

Who will be the person lying in the coffin?

Is this a sacred place for the dragon king to worship the fishbone temple, or a place for the evil spirits where the dead corpses are buried?

Did the hasty escape of those ghould-eating water beasts have something to do with the coffin?

There were so many secrets buried in the weird cave that I felt like I was falling into a fog. Countless questions haunted me, and I couldn't solve even a single one.
