Chapter 30: The Blood of the Yin

As unhappy as I was with the one-eyed grave robber's chatter, I had no choice but to listen anxiously to his continuation.

"Actually, it's very simple to restrain this corpse fish, you only need to use a drop of Yin to stop bleeding on its body."

After a long time of rambling, the one-eyed tomb robber finally got to the point, but his words puzzled everyone, including me.

Although I don't know much about corpse fish, this creature that grows up by eating corpses should also belong to the most yin thing. In the past, when I watched TV series or novels, I said that the best way to restrain things to the yin was to use things to the yang, but when he got here, it became a thing to restrain the things to the yin.

"Big brother, are you sure that the blood of the Yin can restrain the ghoul fish? I used to watch TV and say that if you restrain the things that are yin, you should use the things that are yang. I thought in my heart that the one-eyed tomb robber's words were a bit nonsense, and I couldn't help but ask.

"I lied to you, and besides, I didn't say that the things of the sun can't restrain the ghoul fish." Hearing my suspicious inquiry, the one-eyed tomb robber seemed a little unhappy in his heart, and said angrily, "It's true that the thing of the sunshine can restrain the ghoul fish, but don't forget where we are now. The burial chamber is the heaviest place in the world, and no matter what yang things get here, they can only play half of their role at most. ”

"However, isn't this corpse fish a thing of the Yin, if you use the blood of the Yin to drip on it, won't it help it provide nutrition?" The mystery in my heart was even worse, and I couldn't help but ask again.

"You're a layman, right, do you know how to fight poison with poison? Anyway, I've already told you the way, so it's up to you if you don't believe it. The one-eyed grave robber rolled his eyes, and seemed to huff as if he didn't want to say more.

I know a little bit about fighting poison with poison, but as for the blood of the yin that the one-eyed tomb robber said, I don't know anything at all.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I remembered what had happened before. Xiao Yue's body was in danger of corpse poison before, and Li Huiyan and I used the blood flowing from the roots of the strange tree to temporarily relieve her of the corpse poison.

Could it be that the blood in the roots of the tree is the blood of the yin that the one-eyed tomb robber said he said?

Thinking of this, I can't help but get a little excited.

The things recorded on the murals at the bottom of the pool came to my mind one by one, a mysterious ancient tree that would eat human flesh and suck human blood, and finally was buried in this dark and gloomy ancient tomb by the owner of the tomb, and a blood pool was specially built to support it.

If you want to talk about the things of the yin, I'm afraid that there are few things in the world that can compare with it, right?

"Virtuous nephew, what did you think of? If there's anything I can do to help, just ask. As if sensing that my mood was a little abnormal, Liu Laoqi stepped forward to me and asked.

In the briefest words, I told Liu Laoqi my thoughts, and deliberately mentioned to him that the blood flowing from the roots of those trees could restrain the corpse poison.

"If you say so, the blood that comes out of those roots is indeed the blood of the Yin." After listening, Liu Laoqi nodded suddenly, and then frowned again and said: "It's just that those tree roots are too weird, unless they take the initiative to attack people, it is not easy to find them and remove the blood of the Yin from them." ”

Liu Laoqi's words were like a basin of cold water, which suddenly doused my previous excitement.

Yes, I had only thought that the blood that came out of those roots was the blood of the Yin, but I didn't think about how to get blood from those roots.

Although we had encountered those roots several times before, each time it was just a coincidence, and I also knew that those roots were extremely vigilant, and they would retreat into the cracks in the stone wall if they sensed the slightest danger.

But Li Huiyan's situation is urgent, and the corpse fish is still writhing and struggling on her arm, if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that it may really tear off a piece of flesh and blood.

"Uncle Seven, those tree roots will suck people's blood, or I will find a stone crevice, stand there and lure those tree roots out, you hide aside and observe, and when those tree roots are entangled in me, I will immediately cut them off, so that I can get the blood of the Yin."

Glancing at the painful expression on Li Huiyan's face, I finally gritted my teeth and said.

Although I understand that the success rate of this method is too low, there seems to be no better way at the moment, but to use dead horses as live horse doctors.

"Nephew, are you sure it's okay to do this? What if those roots don't come out, it may be delayed even more. Hearing this, Liu Laoqi thought for a while and said.

I was speechless.

I don't know what Liu Laoqi meant, if I do this, it will almost be equivalent to gambling on Li Huiyan's life.

If the bet wins, the roots are lured out, and we get the blood of the yin. But if the bet is lost, Li Huiyan's situation is not optimistic, I am afraid that she will become Xiao Yue's immortal appearance.

Just when I didn't know what to do, I heard a faint popping sound of a ghoul fish scurrying in the underground river behind me.

I frowned, feeling as if I had overlooked something extremely important, but I couldn't remember it for a moment.

Suddenly, I finally remembered the scene I had seen before, but I had overlooked.

I immediately turned around and walked back to the underground river, turning on my flashlight and shining it straight into it. I saw that under the sparkling water, more than a dozen snow-white corpse fish were chasing and playing.

But my eyes skimmed over these seemingly cute but ferocious corpse fish, and stared at the crimson roots floating at the bottom of the river, which were as red as aquatic plants.

At this moment, a bold idea came to me.

If you can take advantage of those corpse fish to dive into the water and cut off a handful of tree roots with a dagger, wouldn't the blood of the Yin be easily obtained?

"Virtuous nephew, do you want to ......" Liu Laoqi stepped forward quietly, watched me staring at the water of the underground river motionlessly, and said in a slightly frightened tone.

"Well, I want to dive to the bottom of the river and cut off a clump of roots while those ghoul fish are unprepared, and get the blood of Yin." I nodded and said.

"No, it's too dangerous. You don't know how ferocious those ghoul fish are, you're playing with your life by doing so, and the odds of success are extremely low. If you go down so rashly, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the blood of the Yin will not be recovered, and even your own life will have to be completely explained. When Liu Laoqi heard this, he objected without thinking about it.

Although I had a bad impression of Liu Laoqi before, listening to his tone at this time, I could also feel that he was sincerely in my heart, and I couldn't help but be a little moved.

"However, my friend was injured just now because she saved me, and now she is in danger, how can I sit idly by? Uncle Seven, you can help me think of a way, as long as I can lure those corpse eaters in the river away for a while, I can retrieve the blood of the Yin from the bottom of the river unharmed. "Moved is moved, but I still firm up my thoughts at this time and said to Liu Laoqi.

Li Huiyan's situation is no longer optimistic, and she is already delirious from pain at this time, and she is not allowed to delay any more time. Since you can get the blood of the Yin in this way, I'll have to bet on it again.

"Alright then, I'll find a way to help you get rid of those ghouls. But be careful yourself, don't stay underwater for too long, and return to the shore as soon as you get the blood of the Yin. Seeing that I had made up my mind, Liu Laoqi finally had to nod and admonish a little helplessly.

After speaking, Liu Laoqi handed me the dagger in his hand and patted me on the shoulder.

"One-Eyed, do you know any way to get the attention of these ghouls?" Liu Laoqi turned his gaze to the one-eyed tomb robber again and asked in a deep voice.

"Seventh Master, it's actually very simple to lure away these corpse fish. Ghoul fish are the most devouring carrioners, but they are also extremely sensitive to the taste of blood. To lure them away, all they need to do is get them to smell the slightest hint of blood. The one-eyed tomb robber seemed to have expected that someone would ask him, and as soon as Liu Laoqi's words fell, he immediately said.

"Virtuous nephew, remember what I just said, it is important to save your life, even if you can't get the blood of the Yin, don't force it." Liu Laoqi turned around and said something to me again, and then walked along the underground river to the edge of the cave.

"You leave two people to help pick it up." Sensing that the tomb robbers under his command were all following him, Liu Laoqi gave an order to the tomb robbers behind him without looking back. Immediately, the two tomb robbers stopped and returned to my side again.

At the same time as Liu Laoqi left, I also gently put Xiao Yueping on the ground, and reflexively walked to the other side of the cave in the opposite direction to Liu Laoqi.

Finding a relatively suitable position, I stood motionless in place, just waiting for Liu Laoqi to act first.

The river in the place I chose is much shallower than other places, and it is still more than a zhang away from the underground river hole, so I am not worried about being washed into the unknown underground river cave by the water of the underground river.

"Nephew, ready!" Liu Laoqi shouted in the distance.

I turned my head sideways and saw him put his hand in his mouth and bite it hard, then straightened his arm and lay it across the underground river.

I answered, and once again focused on the river in front of me.

I saw that while Liu Laoqi bit the wound on his hand with his teeth and stretched out his arm to drip blood into the river, several corpse fish that were still swimming in the river water in front of me suddenly disappeared from the spot and rushed to the place where Liu Laoqi was.

And where Liu Laoqi was, countless snow-white figures in the originally calm river water were extremely excited, and even jumped directly out of the water for more than a meter, opened their big mouths and almost bit Liu Laoqi's palm.

"Two big brothers, I'm sorry for you."

After looking at the river a few more times to make sure there weren't a single corpse fish in the surrounding river, I said to the two grave robbers behind me and jumped into the river.
