Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Ghoul Fish

At this time, Liu Laoqi and the others had already walked to the middle of the cave, standing on the bank of an underground river, as if they were watching something.

Two of the tomb robbers were boredly stroking a tomb beast carved from stalactites beside them, with curious faces.

For these tomb robbers, they may have seen a lot of wooden, bronze, jade, and gold tomb beasts, but they have never seen such a tomb beast carved from pure natural stalactites, and they can't help but feel a little novel.

"You two idiots, be honest, don't touch anything here. It doesn't matter if you want to die, if you touch some mechanism, do you want to cause everyone to be buried with you two fools? ”

Seeing the actions of the two tomb robbers, Liu Laoqi immediately turned around and scolded him for scolding.

This tomb of the general of the Qin State is full of weirdness, even Liu Laoqi, who has decades of experience in tomb robbing, has to be cautious in everything, for fear that if he is not careful, he may capsize in the gutter.

Li Huiyan and I also walked to the edge of the underground river at the same time and began to look at the underground river, which was no more than four meters wide.

As the clear underground water flows, some aquatic plants can be faintly seen in the river, and a group of snow-white big-headed fish that have never been seen before swim slowly.

"It's ...... How could it be such a thing! "At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but when I looked at the swaying weeds in the river, I couldn't help but change my face a little.

At the very bottom of the underground river, countless thin hair-like dark red thread-like things were swaying from side to side, and these things were aquatic plants, which were the roots of trees that would suck human blood from the ones we had encountered before.

Because the roots were so slender, the dim light in the cave, and the reflection of the water surface, I didn't see them clearly at the first time, so I mistook these slender roots for aquatic plants.

"Nephew, what's wrong? Did you find anything? My voice caught Liu Laoqi's attention, and he came over and asked aloud.

"It's not aquatic weeds in this river, it's the kind of tree roots we encountered that suck human blood." I still stared intently at the surface of the water, and said a word without raising my head.

"What, it's that kind of thing!" Liu Laoqi exclaimed, obviously also quite impressed by the previous tree roots, and continued: "What are these tree roots, and why did they appear here again? Do you know the nephew? ”

I didn't tell Liu Laoqi about the murals I saw at the bottom of the pool, because he didn't know anything about these strange roots.

In fact, I didn't know much more than knowing that the tree sucks blood and eats human flesh, and that it was highly valued by the tomb owner of this burial chamber.

Just then, I saw several skeletons at the bottom of the pool that seemed to be decaying. The skeletons were so entangled in the tiny roots of the water that I didn't notice them at first.

"Hey, what's that?" Suddenly, I saw several palm-sized white fish with green heads swimming slowly next to the skeletons.

Not only are these fish eye-catching, but they are also quite different from the small white fish I saw before.

What I saw suddenly made me a little curious, and I took two steps forward to take a closer look at these mysterious fish that I had never seen before.

But at this moment, the accident happened.

As soon as I stepped forward, before I could observe these small fish, I saw four or five white lights suddenly burst out of the water, and flew towards my front door with lightning speed.

It wasn't until the things came out of the water that I could see what they looked like, and they were the same little white fish that had been swimming underwater.

At this time, the appearance of these small white fish is no longer as well-behaved as before, obviously only the size of a palm, but they have opened a big mouth that is enough to swallow an adult's fist.

In addition, in the large mouths of these small fish, you can clearly see several rows of sharp teeth that are fully one centimeter long.

Seeing this horrific scene, I couldn't help but sweat and stand on end.

The teeth of these strange fish are so sharp, if they bite on their faces, not to mention disfigurement, they are afraid that the flesh on their faces will be torn off a few pieces.

"Be careful!"

"Nephew be careful!"

Li Huiyan and Liu Laoqi were born at the same time, reminding.

However, the speed of those strange fish is too fast, and at this moment I am still carrying a Xiao Yue behind me, and it is too late to retreat when I hear the reminder.

Bell Bell ......

There was a sound of gold and iron intersecting, but it was Liu Laoqi who pulled out the dagger on his waist at a very fast speed and slashed at those strange little fish that flew in.

At the same time, Li Huiyan also pounced on me at the same time, pushing me aside with a hard push.

Hiss......

There was a gasp in my ears.

When I came back to my senses again and raised my head, I saw a small snow-white fish biting Li Huiyan's left arm, and its tail kept swinging and struggling, as if it would never stop until it tore a piece of meat from Li Huiyan's body.

The moment he saw the small fish flying up before, Liu Laoqi's reaction was not unfast, but he still couldn't use the dagger to split all the small fish down.

was bitten by the sharp teeth of the strange little fish, and cold sweat immediately oozed from Li Huiyan's forehead, and some black gas was faintly visible lingering on her arms.

The other tomb robbers finally reacted at this time, and together with Liu Laoqi, they dragged Li Huiyan away from the riverbank, and guarded the water to prevent other strange little fish from jumping out to attack everyone.

After recovering from the shock, I immediately walked up to Li Huiyan, stretched out my right hand and grabbed the tail of the small fish, trying to pull the fish off Li Huiyan's arm with a slight force.

"Don't ...... It hurts......" Li Huiyan's forehead continued to ooze cold sweat the size of a bean, and when I dragged the small fish, I screamed in pain, and said in a weak voice.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I hastened to apologize to her.

Li Huiyan no longer had the strength to talk to me anymore, but she shook her head, her meaning was obvious, she wanted me to stop acting rashly.

At this time, I saw that a trace of blood had been flowing out of Li Huiyan's arm. What surprised me was that the blood was extremely abnormal, it actually took on a black-red color, which was exactly the same color as the blood flowing from the wound on Xiao Yue's back.

I have realized the seriousness of the matter, and although I still don't understand why Li Huiyan was poisoned after being bitten by this strange little fish, I can't afford to think about it anymore at this moment.

"Uncle Seven, please help, you must save my friend." I really don't know much about the things in these ancient tombs, and I can't do anything about it, so I can only turn my eyes to Liu Laoqi for help.

Liu Laoqi has robbed tombs for decades and has seen a lot of things, he must have heard of these things in the ancient tombs, even if he has not seen them with his own eyes, he must have heard other tomb robbers mention them.

"Virtuous nephew, it's not that I don't want to save your friend, it's just that this ghoul fish is the first time I've seen it, and there's really no way. As you saw just now, this ghoul fish is as hard as iron, and even I can't hurt it with a dagger. Unless......" Liu Laoqi heard this, and immediately said with some words to stop.

"Unless what?" I immediately asked.

"Unless it's willing to let go of itself, it's impossible to get it down with brute force. I've only heard of such strange things as ghoul fish before, and I've heard that as long as it smells bloody, it will never stop without tearing a piece of flesh from the person who has been bitten. Liu Laoqi sighed and said helplessly again.

"What! How can that work. "When I heard that, I was shocked.

Li Huiyan was bitten by this ghoul fish because she saved me, and if I were to stand next to me like this, watching her arm being torn off a piece of flesh by the ghoul fish, I wouldn't be able to accept it anyway.

If this is the case, then I owe Li Huiyan a favor, but I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it off in this life.

There were more and more beads of sweat on Li Huiyan's forehead, and the whole person became a little drowsy, obviously the corpse poison of the wound had begun to spread throughout her body.

Seeing this scene, my heart also tugged, and an indescribable feeling sprouted from my heart. If I could, I'd rather Li Huiyan hadn't saved me just now, and how good it would have been if the injured person had been me.

Just when I was about to fall into complete despair, the one-eyed tomb robber, who had not spoken, suddenly stepped forward, glanced at the swinging corpse fish on Li Huiyan's arm, and said something that made me happy.

"I've seen this ghoul fish before." The one-eyed tomb robber retracted his gaze, turned to me and said, "When I was not under the Seventh Master, I once went to another ancient tomb of the Warring States period with my former companions, and we also encountered an underground river with corpse fish in that ancient tomb. On that occasion, seventeen of our twenty men died in the mouth of the ghoul fish, and in just a few moments there was only a dry skeleton left. ”

"Big brother, please, to pick the key point, my friend is about to run out of things." Seeing that the tomb robber was getting farther and farther away, I quickly interrupted him and said in a pleading tone.

"One-eyed, you can pick the key points, the corpse poison in this little girl's body has become deeper and deeper, if you continue to be verbose, it will be life-threatening." Seeing this, Liu Laoqi also spoke on the side.

"Seventh Master, don't worry, this little girl's life will not be in danger for the time being." Hearing this, the one-eyed tomb robber immediately said.

"When the only three of us escaped from the burial chamber, one of them, like this little girl, was bitten by a ghoul fish jumping out of the river. But that companion of mine was not as lucky as the little girl, and the piranha we met was much bigger than this one, and my companion was torn off an arm by the ghoul fish. ”

"Although my companion narrowly escaped his life for the time being, shortly after he left the tomb, he also contracted the corpse poison and died."

"After that, I had a shadow on these ghoul fish. While constantly tossing and turning around, he kept asking many colleagues about the news of the corpse fish. I traveled all over the world, and finally five years later, I heard about the corpse fish from a senior who was inverted. ”

"It turns out that this inverted senior has also encountered a corpse fish in the tomb like me, but he knows another way to restrain the corpse fish, and it is this method that this inverted senior used to escape from the mouth of the corpse fish."

"Big brother, what the hell is the solution, I'm about to die of your urgency." I couldn't take it anymore and interjected again.

If it weren't for Liu Laoqi's face, if it weren't for the fact that I still had a request at this time, I was afraid that I would be so angry that I would not hesitate to kick this one-eyed tomb robber into this underground river full of corpse fish.
