Whew-

I heard a long exhalation at the end of the tunnel, and at first glance, it sounded like it was coming from a human mouth, but before I could make it closer, the corpse gas above my head became agitated, and they were coming out!

At this moment, I saw something fall from the hole along the ***, it fell quickly, I only saw that it seemed to be a piece of soft meat, and when it landed, there was a muffled crackling sound.

I stared at the water on the ground, the water vapor rising, blurring my vision, I could only see a shadow behind the mist squirming, and gradually, the shadow grew short arms, legs and feet, and a huge head sticking out of the wriggling.

I could tell just by looking at the shadows that standing behind the fog at the moment was something similar in appearance to a baby, with a not-so-strong corpse aura on it.

I didn't dare to hesitate, an arrow stepped forward, and slashed over with a wave of the green steel sword.

At the moment when I pierced through the mist, I finally saw what was in the mist, that is, a skinless baby, with its slender muscles exposed, its body was thin, only its head and lower abdomen were surprisingly large.

Zhu Xuanzhu once said that the blood baby has no eyes, and he was probably too nervous to see the whole picture of the blood baby. The blood baby in front of me had a pair of big eyes like copper bells, but there was no whiteness in the eyes, and I couldn't see the pupils, just a black bead, and when I rushed over, those eyes were still turning.

When I came to it, it suddenly gave up from the ground, and slammed into my face. I didn't talk nonsense, I slashed out with a sword, and let it separate its head in mid-air.

It was when I was decapitating it that I noticed that the soles of its feet were somewhat like frog's paws, and although its legs were slender, the muscles on its thighs and calves were bulging.

The blood baby looked like a frog about to evolve into a human.

After the blood baby was decapitated, his body was still moving, and his head fell to the ground, but his eyes were rolling and looking at me.

I took out three soul locking talismans from the waterproof bag and pasted them on the green steel sword, and slapped the sword body on the blood baby's heavenly spirit cover, and the corpse qi on the head dispersed, and suddenly began to decay rapidly, but the body was still moving, I saw it turn in a circle, and then ran towards the depths of the tomb.

What is it here for? Go to the Iron Dragon King?

I didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately rushed forward, and a sword slammed into the body of the blood baby, and its upper body shook violently, and then fell to the ground.

After the blood baby's head was hit by the green steel sword just now, the corpse qi dispersed quickly, but the corpse qi on its body dispersed more slowly, especially the small ball of corpse qi at the heart mouth, which took a long time before it dissipated one by one.

I looked back at the top of the tunnel, and there were more and more cracks, another stone bag was about to burst, and a second blood baby was about to appear.

"The blood baby's life is the heart." As I spoke, I walked quickly towards the stone bag that was about to break.

Liu Shangang took out a sniper rifle, and when I walked up to him, I patted him on the back: "The wound on your shoulder is not healed yet, use a pistol." ”

Liu Shangang nodded, put the sniper rifle back into the waterproof bag, took out the pistol again, and stuffed a large number of bullets into the pocket of the buoyancy vest, and the whole person looked bulging.

His buoyancy vest should be specially made, there are so many of us, everyone has a vest, but there are many pockets on his body.

I looked back at the stone bag, but after waiting for a long time, it just wouldn't break. A blood baby was killed just now, and the other blood babies seemed to hesitate again, and they didn't move.

At this moment, there was a long exhalation sound from the depths of the tunnel, clearer than the last time, the sound was very long and soft, but it reverberated throughout the tunnel, just like the aftermath of Hong Zhong Dalu.

Immediately after, there was a series of small clattering sounds above our heads, and the stone bag directly opposite me finally broke completely, and a large amount of *** poured from it, and after it landed, it gushed up like boiling water.

The soles of both of my feet were dipped in water, and I held a green steel sword in my hand, staring at the column of water pouring in through the breach, but I didn't see anything else falling down the water.

After this stone bag was broken, a large number of stone bags were broken one by one, the gravel was scurrying around in the water, and the *** that landed on the ground kept surging under the collision of yang energy, and we were like standing in a boiling cauldron, the water vapor was steaming, and nothing could be seen clearly.

At this time, I found that several shadows fell in the water column not far away, and this water column was next to Liu Shangang, and Liu Shangang's eyes were elsewhere at that time, and he did not notice the situation beside him.

I hurriedly shouted at him: "Skinny monkey, get out of the way!" ”

Liu Shangang's five senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people, my worry is completely superfluous, at the moment of shouting, he has staggered a position with the water column, and at the same time holds up the 54 type, continuously pulls the trigger, the bullet penetrates the water layer, shattering the ground, and the flying stone particles suddenly stir up a large number of blisters and waves.

But I can feel that Liu Shangang's shots did not hurt the blood baby, and the corpse qi in the water column became thicker and thicker.

"Wait until the blood baby is formed before shooting!" I shouted, and something fell from the column of water beside me.

I immediately dodged, and at the same time struck the sword over, and I heard a snap, and a piece of soft flesh like mud flew out of the water column.

In terms of physical lethality alone, the Qinggang Sword is definitely not as good as Liu Shangang's bullet this time, but the soul locking talisman attached to the Qinggang Sword can dissolve the corpse qi extremely quickly.

When the fleshy thing hit the ground, arms and legs grew on it, but before the left leg could fully grow, the corpse qi on it had already dissipated, and it began to decay rapidly.

The two pieces of rotten meat that fell at Liu Shangang's feet before have turned into blood babies, one of them broke through the water layer and pounced on Liu Shangang, and the other pounced on Xian'er, Xian'er shook the long whip, and the whip hit the blood baby's chest, and with a bang, the blood baby was broken on the spot, and after flying into the water, he never got up again.

But when the blood baby appeared, Liu Shangang's body paused slightly, probably because the appearance of the blood baby made people panic for a moment.

But with this flickering effort, the blood baby had already jumped on top of Liu Shangang's head, stretched out a pair of sharp little claws and grabbed Liu Shangang's scalp.

That's when I discovered that the fingertips of the blood baby could still give birth to sharp claws in an instant.

Liu Shangang was two meters away from me, the water was no longer above my knees, and I wanted to help him, but it was difficult to take a step.

Fortunately, Liu Shangang's reaction was quite fast, as soon as the blood baby climbed on top of his head, he shook his body violently, and the blood baby was thrown down, but before it fell, it grabbed Liu Shangang's hair, I was so far away, I could hear a snorting sound, Liu Shangang had a large tuft of hair was torn off, and there was a scream of "ah-" on the spot.

At this time, Liu Shangang was also angry, grabbed the blood baby who fell quickly, and put the muzzle of the gun against the blood baby's left chest, and with a gunshot, the blood baby's body twitched violently, and then began to rot.

Liu Shangang threw the blood baby in his hand and shouted at me: "It wants to peel my skin!" ”

Recalling the appearance of the blood baby riding on the top of Liu Shangang's head just now, it seemed that he wanted to open a blood hole in Liu Shangang's heavenly spirit cover, and then peel off Liu Shangang's skin from beginning to end.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but twitch in my heart.

But on the surface, I still had to keep my composure, and shouted at Liu Shangang: "You protect Senior Brother Geng, try not to participate in the battle, and hide if you can!" ”

As I spoke, black shadows followed the water column into the tunnel, and I struck two pieces of rotten flesh with my green steel sword, but there were more and more of them, and I could only wave to everyone and let them move closer to me.

Liang Houzai didn't dare to throw the evil talisman directly into the water now, for fear of exhausting the yin qi in the water, he took out the thigh bone covered with gold skin again, and kept hitting the rotten flesh in the water.

He escorted Liu Shangang and Senior Brother Geng towards me, and said, "These blood babies are all tributes from the Iron Dragon King." ”

Tribute? What do you mean?

At this time, Xian'er and Luo Fei had already retreated to my side, and I heard Xian'er say to me: "For two thousand years, the local people regarded the Iron Dragon King as the river god, and two hundred years ago, every autumn equinox, the local people would offer a pair of boys and girls to the so-called river god. They may not have imagined that these children would all become like this when they sink to the bottom. Hmph, take the evil demon as a fairy, foolish! ”

Why is Xian'er's tone of voice different from usual today? No, not only has the tone become calm, but even the timbre is a little different. It's like she's a different person.

I patted the oncoming blood baby and asked Xian'er, "How do you know this?" ”

Xian'er said: "It is written in an old "Yellow River Chronicle". ”

Me: "Yellow River Chronicles, what Yellow River Chronicles?" ”

Liang Houzai also came over and said: "At noon, Luo Fei used your mobile phone to find an old book, which was invalid a hundred years ago, and now there are no such things in the local Yellow River Chronicles......"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Shangang was shouting: "Don't talk about it, I'm a mother, there are too many blood babies!" ”

He generally shouted, while pulling Senior Brother Geng towards me, in the mist, a large number of blood babies were chasing after him, some jumped up, and rushed straight to the top of Liu Shangang and Senior Brother Geng's head, Liu Shangang pulled Senior Brother Geng's arm, and dodged everywhere in no order.

Liang Houzai and I hurriedly rushed over, dispersed those blood babies, and escorted Liu Shangang and Senior Brother Geng back.

I noticed that when I was facing the Blood Babies, the Blood Babies didn't dare to come forward, but when I turned my back to them, they pounced.

As for Luo Fei's side, no blood baby dared to approach her at all.

These skinless corpses do have something to fear, but it's not the black water coffin on my back.

Thinking of this, I immediately took out the small box left by the mad monk from my pocket, and as soon as the blood baby saw this box, he immediately stopped chasing and looked at us from a distance.

A few of us formed a circle, confronting the growing number of blood babies in the tunnel.

For two thousand years, every year at the autumn equinox, a pair of boys and girls enter the water, and if all the blood babies appear at the same time, the number will be at least about four thousand, and that kind of number is not at all something we can deal with.

The mad monk said that if the box is opened, the contents will become invalid. But just holding such a box in your hand can only make the blood baby stop there, and it has no substantive effect at all.

At that moment, there was a mournful whimper from the depths of the tunnel, which sounded like a woman crying, but also like some animal chirping softly.

I could feel the thing in the depths of the tunnel calling out to the blood babies.

I saw that those blood babies were like being beaten with chicken blood, the blood vessels on their heads were swollen, and a pair of black eyes were turning wildly.
