Chapter 55: The Power of the Yin Corpse
The woman was laughing! The expression is stiff, but it is extraordinarily penetrating.
I've seen this weird and terrifying smile many times, just like the grimace birthmark on my back and the grimace reliefs I've seen before, just as cold and oppressive.
The only difference is that the birthmark and relief are dead objects, and the pale woman's face is standing alive not far from us.
At that moment, the bronze chains shook violently again, and the woman suddenly stood upright, standing motionless on the water.
The clothes were dripping, the cloak was scattered, and the most numbing thing was that most of the woman's hair was still floating in the water, like a mass of black and living aquatic plants, writhing in the water.
Seeing this strange woman suddenly appearing on the water, my heart suddenly tightened, and then I felt a little creepy when I looked closely.
I saw that the woman's collarbone at the shoulder was already damaged, revealing a pale skin.
Naturally, I don't care about her large expanse of snow-white skin, but I still have perverted fantasies about a dead person, who can suddenly emerge from an ancient well, and a fool knows that this woman is definitely not a living person.
I stared intently at the woman's collarbones, where two bronze chains as thick as a baby's arm pierced through them, apparently piercing her entire body.
After more than 2,000 years, the two bronze chains have long since merged with her flesh and blood, becoming a part of her body.
Unless she slit her shoulders with a sharp object, it would be impossible to separate her.
With the woman's appearance, the temperature in the cave became much colder, and the water began to freeze at a rapid rate.
"Sister Lizi, I'm afraid." Xiao Yue hid half of her body behind Li Huiyan, peeked at the woman standing on the ice, and said in a trembling voice.
In fact, not only Xiao Yue was scared, but Li Huiyan's face also became bloodless after the woman appeared, how could she not have imagined that this woman who suddenly appeared was not a living person at all.
After a few moments, the woman on the water looked at us quietly for a few moments, and finally began to move.
She twitched, clattering on the frozen ice. Behind her were two heavy bronze chains, which made a clanging sound that cut two white marks on the ice.
I didn't know what the woman was going to do, and when I saw her walking towards where we were, my heart suddenly became nervous.
At this time, I had already guessed that this woman was locked here with bronze chains by the tomb owner of the general's tomb.
I don't know if the owner of the tomb has any deep hatred with this woman, or if he simply needs to use the yin energy of this place to raise a powerful ghost to guard the mausoleum for himself, in short, the appearance of this woman is definitely not a good thing for us.
I couldn't help but think of the crystal coffin that had been broken by the stone before, hanging above the ancient well, and if nothing else, the owner of the crystal coffin should be this woman who walked towards us step by step.
It's just that for no reason, she didn't lie in the crystal coffin, but hid in the ancient well.
With the appearance of the woman and the gradual freezing of the cave, the water level in the cave stopped rising and stopped at a height of about two meters from the small platform.
I began to figure out how to escape from here, and after scanning the cave for a while, I finally looked at the same grave where we had come.
As far as the eye can see, the tomb that was originally two meters high has been half submerged by the water seeping from the ancient well. Thankfully, as the water level in the cave stopped rising, the water level in the tomb remained fixed.
I secretly calculated the length of the bronze chain and the distance from the bronze door to the ancient well, and found that if we jumped off the small platform and returned to the bronze door, this woman would not seem to be able to help us.
Of course, if she could break the bronze chains the thickness of the baby's arms, then I would have nothing to say.
"Let's go back to the grave." In the end, I thought about it and said to Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue.
Unexpectedly, at the same time as I said this, Li Huiyan also said the same thing, and the time difference between the two was no more than two seconds.
It seems that Li Huiyan thought of going with me, and she also understood that if we continue to stay on this small platform, it will be tantamount to waiting for death.
Now that the water level in the cave has stopped rising, let's go back to the place where the bronze gate is, and maybe there will still be a glimmer of life.
Of course, all this is premised on the fact that the water level in the cave does not suddenly rise again, otherwise we will only be drowned alive if we escape into the tomb.
"But how are we going to get back into the graveyard?" Xiao Yue asked.
Hearing this, I bowed my head and was silent, this question is also what I have been thinking about.
It was only after I went up to the small platform that I found that this small platform was coincidentally connected to the ancient well and the tomb we entered before in a straight line.
In other words, if we want to go back to the graveyard, we will have to find a way to avoid the woman in front of us. With the bronze chains that can hang down to the bottom of the well for forty or fifty meters, even if we advance close to the stone wall, it is impossible to avoid the woman's encirclement and interception.
"I'll go down first, get her attention from the left, and you can see the situation." I thought about it for a moment and finally said to the two of them.
"But if you do, you're in danger. If I'm not mistaken, she has been raised into a yin corpse by the hanging yin coffin, but I don't know how powerful it has been after so long. Li Huiyan frowned and said.
"You don't have to worry about me, just find a way to get back to the graveyard as soon as possible, and when you are not in danger, I will try to get out of trouble." I said.
Yin corpse? What the hell is that?
Although she was a little curious, she didn't have time to ask anything more at the moment, no matter what kind of yin corpse she was, she had to find a way to return to the bronze gate.
Seeing what Li Huiyan wanted to say, I waved my hand and jumped directly from the small platform.
With a bang, the ice shook as I stepped on it, but it showed no signs of shattering.
In just a few minutes, the ice surface was so thick that it was far beyond my expectations, and I couldn't help but feel a little more jealous of the yin corpse walking on the ice.
At the same time as I landed on the ice, Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue also started to move, and the two slowly retreated from where they had climbed up.
Seeing that I looked back at them, Li Huiyan nodded at me with a solemn expression, both reminding me to be careful and not to distract them.
I didn't hesitate any longer, and with a movement of my feet, I began to glide on the smooth ice.
Instead of sliding towards the right side of the cave, I slid straight to the Yin corpse that was walking towards me step by step, and the reason was that I was a little worried that the Yin corpse would target Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue, so I had to attract her attention before that.
Sure enough, when I slid near the corpse, her gaze locked on me for a moment, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Maybe in her impression, I was the first one like me to run up and die.
I didn't dare to be distracted, constantly calculating the distance between me and her.
Just as I was about two feet away from her, I used my left foot and the whole person began to slide towards the right side of the cave. At this time, the cave has become a huge skating rink, but now that my life is hanging by a thread, how dare I have the slightest intention of playing.
When my whole body slid to the right, the Yin corpse, which had been motionless, finally moved.
The sound of the bronze chains clinking came to my ears, and I felt a cool breeze blow behind me.
I didn't have time to think about it, and the whole person fell forward on the spot, crawled on the ice, and slid forward uncontrollably for several meters.
Immediately, I turned around and saw two bronze chains shooting out of the air, like two grinning pythons, biting straight at the place where I had just stood.
I was afraid for a while, if I hadn't been resolute just now, and had crawled on the ice in time when I felt the danger, I was afraid that I would have been beaten on the back by this bronze chain.
The blow was not successful, and the yin corpse seemed to be a little annoyed, and the hands holding the bronze chains pressed down hard, and the two bronze chains slammed down on the ice.
When I stood up again and turned around, I saw two more cracks in the ice behind me, each more than two inches wide.
My heart was cold, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat all over my body, if these two bronze chains were whipped on me, I was afraid that I would inevitably end up with my skin and flesh open.
On the other side, Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue had already arrived under the small platform and began to sneak from the left side of the cave to the direction of the tomb. Since my attention was all attracted to me, the yin corpse directly ignored the actions of the two.
Woo......
With a missed blow, the Yin Corpse immediately became angry, a roar came out of its mouth, the two hollow eye sockets had turned red, and the hair that was two or three meters long floated in the air, looking particularly terrifying.
Not only that, but a trace of black gas suddenly oozed from her pale face, which was originally quite beautiful.
When the black qi disappeared, the skin turned dark gold, and it was covered with furrows and wrinkles, and the long black hair also turned snow-white in an instant.
Although I didn't know why the woman had changed so much, I understood at a glance that it was not a good thing, and I quickly chose to flee for my life again.
However, less than a kilometer away from me, I saw a flash of white light in front of me, and a wall suddenly appeared on the originally empty ice.
Caught off guard, I crashed into it. My head ached, and I felt like I was hitting a hard steel plate, and my bones felt like they were falling apart.
The next moment, I heard a clanging sound in my ears again.
Two living bronze chains suddenly wrapped around my waist and strangled me.
