Chapter Forty-Six: Undercurrent
The walls of the corridor emit white light, and on either side are dark and gloomy burial chambers, and the sound of gnawing bones is constantly coming from the burial chamber, which is terrifying in the silence of the ancient tomb.
When the one-eyed brother saw Wei Lai approaching, he realized that his ideas were too naΓ―ve, and the person who could enter and leave the ancient tomb alone would never be as simple as it seemed, let alone be so easily fooled, but he was ridiculously playing tricks, and in the end, the other party was not fooled at all, and he regarded himself as a fool.
"Don't, brother, if you have something to say, I was abrupt, I apologize to you." Wei Lai's voice was low, and he gradually approached with the ancient sword in his hand, and the one-eyed brother kept retreating and begging for mercy.
To tell the truth, Wei Lai is mostly scaring the other party by doing this, if he really lets him kill the one-eyed brother, he really can't do it, if he doesn't make a move, the one-eyed brother will definitely get an inch, if he really lets him succeed in the sneak attack, the other party will never be merciful.
Wei Lai saw that the other party was a little afraid, and the goal had been achieved, and he glanced at the one-eyed brother with cold eyes, the other party's strength was very strong, if he was given a decent weapon, Wei Lai might be planted in his hands.
The one-eyed brother's eyes were slyly bright, he was paying attention to Wei Lai's expression, and Wei Lai was also observing his expression, when the eyes of the two met, Wei Lai's originally slowed down expression became cold again, and he was about to cut it down with a swing of his sword.
The one-eyed brother didn't expect Wei Lai to really do it, it was too late to dodge at this time, and he knelt on the ground in a panic, everyone in the road knows a truth, what man has gold under his knees, bah, take a knife to your neck, the gold will turn into dung, as long as you can live and call grandpa.
The ancient sword stopped at the neck of the one-eyed elder brother, cutting small scars on his skin, and bright red blood overflowed, slowly flowing downward.
The one-eyed brother felt that he was wandering in front of the ghost gate, and the fierce self was actually planted in the hands of the young man in front of him, and knelt in front of him, and begged the other party to let him go, and he regretted that he was smart, if he relied on his fierce strength and began to entangle and fight with the other party, it was not necessarily who was lying down, and it was stronger than losing his momentum now.
"What are you doing here?" Wei Lai's voice was deliberately kept low, the other party had customers behind the scenes, so it was not as simple as simply robbing the tomb, it was obviously looking for something.
"Tomb robbery, my brothers have been short of money lately." The one-eyed brother replied without hesitation.
The corners of Wei Lai's mouth sneered, increasing the strength of the ancient sword in his hand, and the one-eyed brother felt a tingling pain in his neck, and said again: "Find something." β
"Looking for something?"
"Jade pendant, jade pendant surrounded by two fish."
"Pisces Jade Pendant." Wei Lai secretly said in his heart, hearing the words of the one-eyed brother, he was sure that the other party was looking for a Pisces jade pendant.
Wei Lai continued to ask, "What does the jade pendant look like and what does it do?" Don't lie to me, I'll give you some reminders, customers in Xiangxi. β
"You know him?" The one-eyed eldest brother showed a shocked look, in fact, he forgot, when he was talking to the fourth child, Wei Lai was listening in the coffin, and under the threat of Wei Lai's ancient sword, he said happily, "The specific situation is not clear, it seems that many people are looking for it, and it is said that the ghost tomb in Xiangxi can be opened." β
"Xiangxi ghost tomb?" Wei Lai kept this information in his heart, and suddenly felt that the Pisces jade pendant in the package involved a lot, not only to replicate ghosts, but also to have other uses.
"Have you ever met anyone else when you entered the tomb?" Wei Lai was worried about Huo Meng's safety, but hoped that the one-eyed boss had met Huo Meng.
The one-eyed boss shook his head and said, "The way we came in was very hidden, and we didn't meet any outsiders except for our brother who died tragically. β
Seeing that there was no other information, Wei Lai removed the ancient sword from the neck of the one-eyed brother, and said threateningly: "I know your thoughts, I advise you to weigh the consequences before making a move, the sneak attack will not work for me, let me tell you the truth, we are trapped here now, and if we want to live, we must cooperate with each other." β
Wei is telling the truth, now they are in the corridor, with the protection of the white light from the carrion corpses, but they also don't want to go out, once they leave the range of the white light, the carrion corpses will definitely swarm up, and the two of them cooperate with each other, and maybe there is a chance to escape from here.
When the one-eyed brother saw Wei Lai put away the ancient sword, he stood up from the ground, the expression on his face was cloudy, and finally agreed with Wei Lai's statement, temporarily put aside the hatred, and find a way out together, otherwise both of them would be trapped here.
"What do you say, I'll listen to you." The one-eyed brother took out a band-aid from the package, glued the wounds on his arm and neck to avoid being infected with corpse poison in the ancient tomb, and then asked Wei to say.
Wei Lai thought for a moment, told the one-eyed brother about the current situation, and said: "Let's be honest with you, the carrion corpses you see are not simple, there are parasitic insects in their bodies, and the place where we are is safe for the time being, because those carrion corpses are afraid of the white light here." β
"Oh my god, the worm that lives in the body of a zombie." The one-eyed brother exclaimed in surprise, just now he was only concerned about running for his life, and he didn't see the situation of the rotting corpse at all.
Wei Lai nodded and continued: "It's not a zombie, it's a carrion, there is a big difference between a carrion and a zombie, there is a tomb on both sides of the corridor where we are, there are many carrion in the tomb just now, and there is only one carrion in the tomb behind us, but it seems to be much more powerful." β
Wei Lai found that the first carrion corpse he encountered was more flexible in his actions, obviously more powerful than other carrion corpses, and after the matter was roughly finished, Wei Lai replenished water and food in the same place, and kept running for his life from the moment he entered the ancient tomb, which shows the weirdness and thrilling in the cemetery.
The one-eyed eldest brother looked solemn, analyzed what Wei Lai said, and then asked Wei Lai, and said, "How are you going to plan, I support you." β
Wei Lai guessed that the other party must be in a mess, and he didn't expect him to come up with a way, when the one-eyed brother asked, and said the method he had just thought of, Wei Lai actually ignored the important things, and he suddenly realized it.
"Did you spot any anomalies in the air?" When Wei Lai entered the corridor, his attention was attracted by the stones on the walls, and he forgot the source of the aroma he had been looking for, and when he returned to the corridor, he realized it again.
The one-eyed brother sniffed with his nose, widened his eyes and said, "It's so fragrant, it's so strong." β
"That's right, the source of the aroma is in the corridor, and it may be my only hope of escaping." Wei Lai was lying to the one-eyed brother, because he didn't know what the source of the fragrance was, he was just curious, and Wei Lai had another way to escape, that is, the Changming incense in the package, Wei Lai would not use the Changming incense until the last moment, after all, it was too rare.
"Okay, let's find it separately." After saying that, the one-eyed brother searched for it in the corridor.
Wei Lai's eyes narrowed, he didn't tell the other party, it's best not to touch the stones on the wall, otherwise it will affect the mood, there are so many shining stones on the wall, if it is a mechanism to pass, you have to try one by one, every time you try a stone, you will fall into sad emotions, Wei Lai would rather use Changming incense than experience sadness.
While Wei Lai was pondering, the one-eyed brother tried to touch the stone on the wall, and removed it smoothly, without falling into any emotional entanglement.
After Wei Lai saw it, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching, and he found that this world was a little strange, and scolded frantically in his heart: "Fuck, it turns out that only I am unlucky, and others will not be affected at all." β
