As soon as I entered the water, I felt a burst of agility all over my body.

Surprisingly, the water in this underground river is much colder than the water in the previous pool, as if it has just melted from a snow-capped mountain.

But I can't care about it so much now, Liu Laoqi's time to lure the corpse fish is extremely limited, and I must hurry up and successfully obtain the blood of the Yin from those tree roots before those corpse fish find me.

The depth of the underground river was somewhat unexpected to me, and it was much deeper than what I saw on the shore.

In desperation, I had to take a deep breath and dive to the bottom of the river.

Two tomb robbers on the shore helped to shine a flashlight, and the light had become extremely blurred underwater, but they could still see the underwater situation clearly.

At the bottom of the river, several skeletons that had long since decayed were motionless, tightly entangled by countless crimson roots, and they were already covered with moss.

I just glanced at the bones, and immediately looked away, swimming instead to the nearest clump of roots.

In the middle of the roots of the tree was a large stone, the size of a millstone, from which the crimson roots spread out.

And the moment I dived into the water, the roots of the trees floating at the bottom of the water seemed to sense that danger was coming, and began to shrink at a very fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, about half of them had disappeared.

Without further ado, I quickly stretched out my left hand and firmly grasped a handful of roots, while my right hand saw the position and slashed at the roots with a dagger.

Hiss......

The roots of the trees, struggling to no avail, pierced into my arms in unison, and a cone-like stinging pain immediately spread throughout my body.

As I cut the roots of the tree with my dagger, a cloud of crimson blood spread through the river, dyeing all the water in front of me red in an instant.

"Virtuous nephew, hurry up and go ashore."

Vaguely, I still under the water seemed to hear Liu Laoqi on the shore shouting loudly, and his tone seemed a little anxious.

I turned my head to look at it, and I was scared.

Those ghoul fish, who were originally lured by Liu Laoqi with a bloody breath, were immediately attracted by the stronger smell of blood here at the same time as I cut off the roots of the tree, and at this time they swam towards the place where I was like an arrow from the string.

Looking at the huge number of corpse fish, there were thirty or forty corpse fish, I was stupid, and immediately dived out of the water without hesitation.

Call me timid? What are you kidding, a corpse fish is already frightening, and if so many corpse fish swim together, they won't immediately gnaw me to the bone.

Those ghoul fish swim so fast that they can almost be described as rampage in the river. Relying on his body as hard as iron, even if he encounters a stone in front of him, he will hit it headlong, and the ghoul fish is fine, and those stones that were hit are shattered.

As soon as I got out of the water, I threw the roots and dagger in my hand ashore, and was dragged up by the two grave robbers who had been waiting on the shore. Almost as soon as I left the river, one of the fastest ghouls jumped out of the water, opened its mouth and bit at my ass.

Seeing this, I shivered all over, if this butt was bitten off by a corpse fish, I was afraid that I would not be able to see people in the future.

Clang......

Just as the open-mouthed ghoul fish was about to make a close contact with my ass, a fist-sized stalactite flew not far away and smashed into the ghoul fish's body.

When the stalactite collided with the corpse fish, the whole thing shattered into several pieces, but the force of the stalactite's impact also knocked the corpse fish in mid-air sideways by a foot distance, and fell into the river with a pop.

When I got ashore, I kept wiping my forehead, and I couldn't tell if it was river water or cold sweat.

"Are you alright?" Liu Laoqi came over and asked me.

"I'm fine, Uncle Seven, thank you, if it wasn't for you just now, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer too." I shook my head and said gratefully to Liu Laoqi. The stalactite that knocked the corpse fish flying just now was thrown by Liu Laoqi.

"What do you mean, have you gotten the blood of the Yin?" Liu Laoqi grinned and asked instead.

I pointed to the roots of the tree that I had thrown on the bank of the river, and the meaning was obvious.

Immediately, I stopped talking nonsense, quickly picked up the tree roots that were thrown on the ground, and walked to Li Huiyan, who was already delirious.

Although after a moment of effort, most of the blood in the roots of the tree had flowed out, the remaining ones should be more than enough to deal with the corpse fish that bit Li Huiyan.

I placed the root on top of the still writhing corpse fish, and with a twist of my hand, the only remaining blood flowed down the cut in the root, and dripped onto the corpse fish.

After doing this, I threw away the roots in my hand and stood beside Li Huiyan a little nervously, staring intently at the corpse fish whose whole body was about to be stained red with blood.

Zizi ......

After the blood of the Yin in the root of the tree dripped on his body, the ghoul fish that bit Li Huiyan seemed to feel the smell of death, and after struggling hard, puffs of black smoke began to rise from his entire body.

As the black smoke rose, an incomparably fishy smell appeared in the cave, and the feeling was almost suffocating.

After a while, the black smoke disappeared, and the corpse fish that was still alive before became straight and motionless at this time, and the original snow-white body of the fish also turned into a black charcoal appearance.

I hesitated, but reached out and poked the ghoul lightly. As soon as my fingers touched the scales of the ghoul fish, its entire body instantly spread out, turning into countless black dust and falling to the ground.

At the same time, Li Huiyan, who was originally as pale as snow, also slowly woke up at this time, and her face gradually became a little bloody. I was completely relieved that she didn't seem to be in a big deal.

Although there was still a trace of blood from the wound on Li Huiyan's back, the color of the blood was an extremely healthy red, and it should be able to coagulate in a few moments. The blood of the Yin in the root of the tree not only solved the headache of the corpse fish, but also cleaned up the corpse poison on Li Huiyan's body.

"Are you alright?" Seeing Li Huiyan wake up and turn around, I hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Anyway, Li Huiyan's injury this time is all because of me, no matter what the reason, I should care about her at this moment.

"It's okay, I just feel a little tired and can't exert my strength." Li Huiyan heard this and said.

After saying that, she tried to stand up, but failed. Although Li Huiyan's life is not in danger, the sequelae of being bitten by a corpse fish before are also obvious.

Seeing this, Liu Laoqi hurriedly took out two compressed biscuits from his body to replenish Li Huiyan's strength. Li Huiyan obviously knew that now was not the time to be reckless, so she thanked Liu Laoqi, took the biscuit and began to eat.

Seeing that Li Huiyan was really fine, the boulder hanging in my heart also fell to the ground completely.

However, a question arose in my heart, why the corpse poison on Li Huiyan's body could be completely removed with the blood of the Yin in the roots of the tree, while the corpse poison on Xiao Yue's body could only be temporarily restrained.

I thought about it, maybe it had something to do with the difference in the corpse poison between the two.

The corpse poison in Li Huiyan's body was only brought by the corpse fish, and it should have been formed by those corpse fish after eating the carrion. And the corpse poison on Xiao Yue's body is obviously much greater, it is the thousand-year-old corpse poison on the thousand-year-old female corpse in the Yao family ancestral hall, and the toxicity is countless times stronger than the corpse poison in Li Huiyan's body.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be a little worried about Xiao Yue again. If she can't completely remove the corpse poison from her body, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to leave this general's tomb alive.

"Seventh Master, come and see." At this time, the monkey not far away suddenly opened his throat and shouted loudly to Liu Laoqi.

Hearing this, Liu Laoqi hurriedly walked over. I saw that Li Huiyan was fine, and she also followed behind Liu Laoqi.

When I walked to the bank of the river, I saw the monkey pointing to the water of the underground river with some excitement, and seemed to have found something good.

I looked in the direction he was pointing, and I was a little speechless.

Above the surface of the water, which had been nothing, there was a mysterious object the size of a millstone covered in dark green moss, like a severed tree trunk.

After looking at it a few times, I suddenly felt that this thing was a little familiar, and I tried to think about it, wasn't this the "big rock" I saw at the bottom of the river before?

Earlier, because I was pressed for time, I cut a handful of tree roots and immediately dived out of the water and returned to shore. After that, he hurriedly used the blood of the Yin in the root of the tree to save Li Huiyan, and he didn't have time to look back at the river again.

At this time, because the roots of the trees were so frightened that I retracted into the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, this mysterious thing that had been firmly entangled in the roots of the trees finally regained its freedom, and only then did it resurface.

Seeing the mysterious object floating on the surface of the river, Liu Laoqi was also excited for a moment, as if he had seen some rare treasure.

"Uncle Seven, what is this?" Seeing this, I asked with some curiosity.

Liu Laoqi didn't speak, but instructed the other tomb robbers to find a way to fish up the things floating in the river, and he also looked eager to try.

I was a little helpless, seeing that Liu Laoqi didn't want to say more, I had to stand aside and watch them act.

Hey......

I was attracted by the mysterious object on the surface of the river, and I didn't pay attention to the situation in the river. At this time, in the boredom, I found something unexpected.

I don't know when, most of the corpse fish in the river water disappeared, and only about ten corpse fish were still swimming in the water.

After a little thought, I quickly understood why.

These ghouls are simple-minded and will rush upwards whenever they smell blood. And after I cut off the roots of the tree, countless blood stained the surrounding river red, and those corpse fish were attracted by the smell of blood, not knowing that this blood was the blood of the Yin that specifically restrained them.

The only pity is that these ghoul fish are not dead, otherwise we will avoid the biggest trouble when we have to cross the river in a while.

Just when I was looking at the corpse fish in the river in a daze, Liu Laoqi and the others had already fished up the mysterious object floating on the water.

It seems that although the remaining dozen or so corpse eaters are not dead, they should have also inhaled a small amount of Zhiyin blood, and they don't have the energy to attack people, otherwise Liu Laoqi and the others would not have gone so well.
