Chapter XVIII: Slaves

Because of the hesitation in action, although such a pause is only a dozen seconds, it is already quite a long time for us who are underwater. Zhang Hefang gestured and asked everyone to go back first.

After another ten seconds, we all returned to the corridor just now. We didn't take off our clothes like the old man, so for a while our clothes were wet and sticking to our bodies, and we shivered a little in the dark corridor.

We went ashore again and poured the water out of the windbreakers. Both Bin Zi and Brother Liao reloaded their bullets and loaded. However, everyone is more concerned about one question - what is going on with those water corpses.

The first to speak was Bao Ye, who said, "How do I think those water corpses are trapped there? ”

Zhang Hefang nodded and said, "You're right, those water corpses don't seem to want to stay there. ”

I interjected, "I think those water corpses are at least seven or eight hundred, who will tie them up there?" ”

Li Zhongkai is a professor of history, he naturally has some opinions of his own, and seeing that we are all in confusion, he said: "Remember I once told you, the third generation of the monarch of the ancient Shu Kingdom, Yu Yan, is very likely to be a merman. ”

We all nodded, but what did it matter with those water corpses?

Professor Li Zhongkai continued: "However, there is another very important thing, that is, it was under the leadership of Yu Yu that the ancient Shu Kingdom evolved from a primitive tribal society to a slave society. ”

Slave society? I can't help but think of the ancient Shang Dynasty, where some history books have long pictures like that, with high-ranking people sitting on the sidelines, and countless slaves desperately trying to make bronzes. Suddenly, I seemed to think of something, so I blurted out and said, "Could it be that those water corpses are slaves of the ancient Shu Kingdom?" ”

Professor Li Zhongkai looked at me, with a relieved expression on his face, and said, "That's right, that's what I guessed. We all know that it is true that Wuzong has been to the ancient Shu Kingdom in ancient times, but we also know that the primitive witchcraft is based on the animism and equality of all things, and the fish has evolved the social form of the ancient Shu Kingdom into a slave society, that is to say, the concept of equality in the ancient Shu Kingdom at that time has been broken, and it is very likely that Wuzong left the ancient Shu Kingdom at that time. ”

I imagined the water corpses under the water just now, and I didn't know what to do, but I actually passed a trace of sadness. The heart said that the slave society really trampled on human dignity completely. Those slaves of the ancient Shu Kingdom, when they were alive, had to work day and night for the ancestors and kings, and even after they died, they had to be imprisoned under the water, guarding the nest for the descendants of the sharks, which is really ironic.

Zhang Hefang obviously didn't have as much sentimentality as me, he said directly: "But in this case, things are easier to do, since they are imprisoned there, it means that they can't rush towards us and attack us in one go, this time, we are fully prepared, fight a bloody way in those corpse arrays, and directly break out of the encirclement." ”

Everyone nodded yes, sorted out their equipment, and the old man also put all his clothes into his backpack, he preferred to stay naked under the water, which was convenient for movement.

This time, we all took as deep a breath as we could and got back underwater.

This time, because we were already mentally prepared, we didn't hesitate after seeing those water corpses, and while advancing, we drew our guns and began to shoot. Soon, we had already rushed into the corpse formation of the water corpses.

At first, the first part of the journey was relatively easy, but when we went deep into the hinterland of the corpse array, we didn't just have to face the water corpses in front of us, although the feet of the water corpses on our left and right sides were imprisoned, their long arms still grabbed our bodies from time to time.

I was the weakest of the bunkers, so I was caught in the middle of the others.

I had a ridiculous illusion walking in the corpse formation of water corpses, that feeling as if we were a group of big stars, walking in a group of brainless fans, and the arms of the water corpses waving in the water wanted to grab our bodies all the time, and they couldn't stop it.

Although the old man has the best skills underwater, he can't withstand the attacks of so many water corpses, plus he is naked, and after a short time of drilling into the corpse array of water corpses, his arms and back were scratched by those water corpses.

Bao Ye, Bin Zi, Brother Liao and others are naturally no exception, although we have guns in our hands, we are still inevitably constantly suffering from slight trauma. Because of the light of Bu Jin's Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade, all of a sudden, a pool of dark purple blood began to smudge in the turbid water.

I don't know why, when the old python saw such a situation, he suddenly became very frightened, he seemed to panic all of a sudden, and began to swim back desperately, but before he could start swimming, he was grabbed by a water corpse and his thick calf.

At first, we didn't know why he would react so violently, but judging by his almost hysterical sign language, he seemed to be telling us that something was coming.

When I was still wondering, the old man who was swimming in front had already noticed what was ahead, and he was so frightened that he suddenly spit out a big bubble from his mouth. Everyone looked up, and suddenly goosebumps appeared all over their bodies.

I saw that just as we were about to rush out of the corpse array, more than a dozen adult mermaids appeared in front of us. The mermaids were different from the juvenile mermen in that they were very large in size, and that there were two other arms under their armpits, which closed like a crab's front claws.

Unlike water corpses, these sharks have a lot of scales on their bodies, and their lower bodies are completely like fish, so they move very fast in the water, and they are extremely agile, and we only have three or four seconds from seeing them to swimming in front of us, which simply catches us off guard.

What's even more frightening is that when the old man shoots at those sharks, those sharks are actually able to dodge bullets underwater!

The old man had no choice, so he began to retreat, and everyone was naturally no exception, but we didn't expect that when we turned around, we found that Bu Jin was alone behind us, and the spirit demon jade on his chest was shining brightly, and the whole person posed in a cross posture. In the water, none of us could make a sound, and Bu Jin's lips were always closed, but all of us could be sure that Bu Jin's throat was making some very low chanting sounds.

Unlike the previous Bu Jin mantra, this time the time for the mantra was very short. Seeing Bu Jin's move, everyone stopped and turned to face the merman again. We thought that the merman would be able to be retreated by Bu Jin at once, but we didn't expect that it was not the merman who was affected by Bu Jin's chanting spell, but the water corpses around us.

Suddenly, all the water corpses froze, and their bodies began to turn to face the mermen. The mermaids have very developed brains, they have the ability to think, and when they saw such a situation, they even stopped and did not continue to attack. They stopped, and didn't seem to pay attention to the rest of us at all, but all fixed their eyes on Bu Jin's body, and let out a "hissing" roar, accompanied by the roar of the merman, the water corpse around us suddenly began to twitch in bursts.

I started to feel a little dizzy, and I knew that I was a little deprived of oxygen.
