Chapter 17 Ruthless

"Ugh!" There was a strange cry in Tuhti's throat, and then he cried and tried to pounce there, "O Condor! ”

Qin Feng pressed him tightly, "You don't want to live anymore!" ”

Tuhti suddenly knelt on the ground, beat his chest and kowtowed, as if he had died of his loved ones. The reverence and love of the Tajiks for the eagle is something we cannot experience, and now we don't have the heart to think about it.

Dozens of huge eagles piled up in front of them, almost blocking the road. Peanut unloaded his gear and turned it on his back, as if he wanted to go up and take a look.

"Young man, what are you doing here?" Shui Ye stood in front of Peanut.

Peanut looked at him and did not answer.

"Our little brother is invincible, and he will definitely be able to catch that bird when he goes up." The fat man said.

"Hmph." Shui Ye smiled, "No one knows the temperament of the bird, I don't know what kind of self-protection skills you have, but if you alarm them, all of us will be finished." ”

Hearing this, Peanut smiled, "Don't worry, there shouldn't be anything alive on it." ”

Shui Ye's face changed slightly, and he looked peanuts up and down. At this time, Qin Feng said: "There seems to be no movement now, but we also heard the sound of flapping wings just now, Peanut, you better be careful." ”

Peanut pointed to the ground and said, "There are almost eighty big eagles here, to accommodate so many eagles, the space above is definitely more than what we see, this is not a completely human hole dug by people, I suspect there are some passages above that we can't see." ”

"Huh." Shui Ye waved his hand, "You said that there is a possibility, but we don't need to take that risk, who knows where the road leads to it, and even if it is for you to find it." You can get through, but no one else can go up. It's such a waste of time, so let's move on. ”

I didn't expect Shui Ye to put forward so many insights at this time, it seems that he does have some experience.

But I agree more with Peanut, so many eagles died on it, and they were all poisoned and died, we must not ignore the above situation, if there is really any passage for birds to enter and exit freely, then we can only walk forward with our heads up, always on the top of our heads.

After Shui Ye finished saying these words. Without waiting for us to raise any further objections, he walked over to the pile of eagle carcasses and pulled a large bag out of his gear bag.

Just as we were wondering what he was going to do, Shui Ye stretched out his hand and lifted up an eagle covered in poison. Then it went into a pocket.

"Hey, you're dying!" I shouted.

Daddy reached out to stop me. Shui Ye also smiled confidently. Glanced back at us.

The miner's lamp in the big guy's hand shone on his hand, and the water master quickly stuffed the corpses of those eagles into the bag. Soon I saw purple marks on his arms, as if all the poison had penetrated into his veins and continued to spread upward.

"Master, what is this person's ability?" The second stunned man asked Daddy in a low voice.

Things have to start with the name of the water master. The reason why he is called Shui Ye is because the blood in this person's body is different from ordinary people. His blood is said to have no color. It's as transparent as water. When he was young, Shui Ye himself didn't know what was strange about himself, until he went to the mountains to collect medicine and bit the poisonous snake behind the tree before he discovered the abnormality.

What's going on?

Because after the poisonous snake bit Shui Ye, Shui Ye not only had nothing to do at all. And in the blink of an eye, the poisonous snake died by itself. Later, Shui Ye discovered that the kind of blood like water on his body was actually secretly poisonous, and other venoms came in, and it had no effect on him at all. It can be said that this person is truly invincible.

However, he did not use this advantage to a good place, but became a master of using poison on the road. Many tomb robbers are looking for him, because as long as there is a water master, it will be very easy to deal with the corpse gas or poisonous gas in the ancient tomb.

After listening, I said in my heart that no wonder even Daddy was very polite to this person, it turned out to be a poisonous scorpion, damn, if you want to provoke this kind of person, you will play some tricks coldly, we are afraid that we don't even know how we died.

When I looked over again, the carcasses of the eagles on the ground were already full of pockets. At the same time, that purple venom gland had already spread to Shui Ye's face, and under the light, his face was not to mention how cautious he was.

When it was full, we saw a hole in the bottom of the pocket with a bamboo tube, and we didn't know what it was used for. Then, Shui Ye took out a bottle wrapped in leather and stuffed the mouth of the bottle into a bamboo tube. When everyone was wondering, Shui Ye suddenly hugged the big bag and began to squeeze hard.

"What is he doing?" I asked.

"Take the poison." Peanut whispered.

Later, I learned that the price of poison on the black market is very expensive, and a few milliliters of poison are said to buy tens of thousands. It's a great thing to use against your own enemies. A person like Shui Ye, who eats on poison, is even happier when he sees this than when he sees gold.

After pressing it a few times, Shui Ye dropped a few drops of black liquid into the bag that he didn't know what it was. Soon, we heard the sound of dripping water from the leather bottle. And when that's done, the pocket is three-quarters lighter.

Shui Ye put the bottle away, and then put the pocket in front of Tuheti, "Old man, the Condor can now be handed over to you to deal with." Hehe, don't worry, it's okay anymore. ”

Tuhti looked at Shui Ye with some fear, and then took the bag. After wrapping himself in something, Tohti tied his pockets around his waist and muttered something with tears on his face.

Daddy waved his hand, "Let's keep walking." ”

In the end, Peanut did not go up to inspect the situation. It seems to me that Peanut didn't really care about the danger, he probably just wanted to avoid more trouble.

Then, Shui Ye and Brother Jiu walked to the front of the line. What Shui Ye did just now made the fat man a little wary of these two people, and turned around and walked in front of me.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the road began to widen. There are more and more traces of manual excavation, and even on the stone wall, we can see some hooks used to hang oil lamps in ancient times. The hook is ring-shaped and already rusty. But you can still see the carved patterns on it.

"Master Yuan, these hooks have thunder patterns on them, they don't seem to be ordinary things, can you tell when they were made?" The fat man said as he looked at a hook.

Daddy walked over and looked carefully, and the more he looked, the more solemn the expression on his face became. "Hiss is a bit like something from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, but it's different, I've never seen such a thunder pattern."

"Like? That should be the stuff of the Western Zhou Dynasty. "The fat man doesn't care about those details," the little brother. Then the Phantom Snow Forbidden City may really be from the Western Zhou Dynasty. ”

Daddy shook his head, "I can't be so sure." "Daddy's reason is that the Seven Star Dragon Yuan is something from the Spring and Autumn Period, and since it is hidden in the Phantom Snow Forbidden City, then the ancient tomb should only exist after the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"But it's also weird." Daddy continued. "At a glance, you can see that the road was dug by tomb robbers, but the copper ring on the wall seems to be a royal artifact. This situation is difficult to explain. ”

Boss Sun, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Maybe the tomb robbers entered a certain ancient tomb." When I came out, I found that the road was blocked, so I borrowed something from the ancient tomb and dug such a hole. ”

When we heard this, we couldn't help but nod.

The fat man was already gearing up, "Okay guys, let's hurry inside." The treasures of the Zhou Dynasty must have been in a hurry. ”

The big guys all laughed and moved on. When I turned around, I saw that Na Tuhti's face was a little gloomy, and his old face was full of sweat.

"Old man, you're fine, are you?" I asked as I walked. I wondered if the eagle's carcass was too heavy.

"Oh, it's okay, I just feel sorry for these condors." Tohti said and wiped his sweat, but one layer of sweat wiped it, and another layer immediately came out.

It's really hard for a man in his sixties and seventies, but who made him do this business, and when he meets a master like us, he can only be considered unlucky. I didn't say anything more, and continued to walk after the fat man.

This time he didn't go far, and the ninth brother in front suddenly shouted at the back.

"Huh? There's a side room here. ”

Concubine? I was stunned in my head, and I thought to myself, how could there be a side room in the thief cave? The crowd flocked to the front to take a look, and sure enough, on the stone wall to our left, there was a gate four or five meters wide. The road is not yet at the end, and this can only be a side room.

Before everyone could take a look inside, the fat man walked in with a miner's lamp. As soon as the lights shone on, the fat man suddenly screamed "Wow", and he was so shocked that he retreated.

"What the hell is your name?" Qin Feng grabbed him.

The fat man's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and then the light shone into it again. The light of the miner's lamp flickered inside, but we couldn't see anything. All I could see was that the walls on both sides of it were uneven, as if something was piled up.

Everyone then poked the lights in, and we all gasped. I saw that the walls on both sides of the side room were stacked with human skulls. The skulls were all mud-colored, and you couldn't even see it at first glance. The strangest thing is that the skulls seem to grow on the stone wall, and the ends of each skull are perfectly aligned with the stone wall.

It didn't take long for Peanut to walk us in, and when we looked at it up close, it was even more terrifying. Peanut stepped forward to observe carefully for a while, but suddenly smiled.

"It's a good carving." Peanut said.

"Carving?" I stepped forward to take another look, and immediately saw something unusual. It turns out that these skulls are really carved on the wall, but this is also too realistic, right, who is so disgusting?

The fat man couldn't help but turn around and ask Tuhti, "Old man, do you people here have any special customs?" Have you ever seen anything like this before? ”

When the fat man asked, I saw that Tohti was still standing outside, as if he had something on his mind, and the expression on his face seemed to be more panicked than before.

"No, I haven't seen it." Tuhti replied to the fat man in a low voice, and then turned his face to the side.

I was wondering what was wrong with him, when a few people behind me suddenly stirred.

"Dead dead, dead man." Boss Sun shouted.

I immediately turned around and chased into the side room.

The entire side chamber is supposed to have been built using a natural cave, and inside the side chamber there is a hexagonal stone platform more than a meter high. The stone platform is very smooth and has a completely different texture from the rock in the cave, so it should have been brought in from the outside.

The big guys were standing on the edge of the stone platform, in the light. We saw several skeletons appear around the stone platform. Every inch of their bones in their bodies was air-dried, and they walked or leaned on, just around the stone platform.

This kind of dead people are not very attractive to us anymore, and what makes us more concerned is that their position is very even, and it seems that they deliberately sit on the edge of the stone platform according to a certain law and wait for death.

Because there was nothing else around, it was difficult for us to tell when these dead people appeared. But just looking at the bones, Daddy speculated that they had been lying here for at least a few hundred years.

"Could this be the one who dug the hole?" The fat man said.

No one answered him, everyone just quietly observed the skeletons. Through the body movements of these dead people, I feel that they should die more peacefully. Or that they had fainted before they died, leaving no trace of pain or struggle.

Qin Feng and Er Zi checked it, and they didn't find that these people had fatal injuries. Shui Ye was sure that they were not poisoned and died.

While everyone was pondering, I suddenly heard Boss Sun on the side whispering somewhere, as if he was counting.

"One, two. Three, four"

"Boss Sun. What are you counting? I asked.

Boss Sun smiled stiffly. Then he said, "It's really just in time, there are nine of us, and there are nine corpses lying there." ”

After he said this, many people around him were stunned, and they couldn't help but look at Boss Sun, and then moved their eyes back. It seems to have been counted too.

"Oh, it's nine skeletons." The fat man said.

"What's so strange about this, it must be a coincidence." Qin Feng didn't care.

"It's called not letting go of any clues, you know?" The fat man replied.

Qin Feng expressed disdain for the fat man's words. "If even this is weird, it must be that we see our own corpse, and this kind of blessing is estimated to be only available to you."

Qin Feng finished speaking with a big grin, and he didn't feel it at all. But his words touched a certain bad feeling in our minds, and all of a sudden, everyone stopped talking.

I suddenly felt that the larger skeleton lying on the ground looked a little like a fat man, and the thinner one next to it looked like Boss Sun.

Boss Sun seemed to be thinking about the same problem, inexplicably, we glanced at each other, and then both sides shuddered.

At this very juncture, we suddenly heard Tohti behind us start singing something in the local dialect.

"Hey, old man, you're in a good mood, can you give the fat man a rock." The fat man shouted dissatisfiedly.

But after he finished speaking, the old man Tuhti did not react at all. We saw him standing in the doorway of the side room, with his back to us, his hands in front of him.

All of a sudden, everyone sensed that something was wrong.

"Crazy man, go up and have a look." Daddy said in a low voice.

Qin Feng didn't hesitate at all, and moved towards Tuheti with very light but fast steps. But just halfway through, Peanut caught up with him from behind and grabbed him.

"Don't move yet." After Peanut finished speaking, he didn't wait for Qin Feng to say anything, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Tuheti's back.

I didn't see any force on the peanut, but the pebble made a muffled "poof" sound on Tuhti's back, and Tuhti's velvet coat was sunk in, obviously hitting the flesh. But Tohti didn't feel any pain at all, and was still humming and singing.

My brow furrowed, and suddenly I noticed that something was missing from Tohti.

Gear packs? It's on the ground next to it. It was a glaring eyesight, and I immediately said, "You see, the bag with the eagle's carcass on the old man's body is gone." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Tohti's singing stopped. Then, he slowly turned towards us, and we were greeted by a shocking scene.

The bag containing the eagle's carcass was in Tohti's right hand, but it was not so full. At this moment, Tohti's left hand was grasping the corpse of a dead eagle and shoving it into his mouth. Tohti's belly was bulging like a balloon, and he was already thin, so he looked very weird.

We also realized that it was the eagles that Tuhti had in his belly. He actually ate his most revered condor into his stomach, is this, this special lady also their custom?

I shook my head, for Tohti's expression now negated that. His eyes were red, his face was faintly silvery-gray, and the veins on both sides of his temples swelled as if they were going to explode at any moment. Despite the thick velvet coat he was wearing, we could still see something slowly moving in his swollen belly.

"He can't be evil, right?" Qin Feng said.

"Maybe it's because he can't accept seeing so many eagles die, so he's crazy." The second stunned said.

But I don't think what they're saying is right. After Tohti swallowed the eagle in his mouth, his stomach bulged again. We thought he would continue to eat like this, but he suddenly loosened his pockets and walked slowly towards us.

"Those eagles still have poison left on their bodies, he has eaten so much, the poison on his body is definitely not light, and he must not be allowed to get close." Brother Jiu shouted.

Peanut and Qin Feng immediately ran over left and right, they went around behind Tuhti, and grabbed Tuhti's velvet sleeve respectively. Peanut kicked the old man's knee and tried to make him lie down, but Tuhti's legs were like iron stakes, and after Peanut kicked him, he didn't react at all.

And then, Tuheti pulled his arms forward vigorously, and the force seemed to break free from the shackles of Peanut and Qin Feng.

The two people behind him didn't expect the old man to have so much strength, and as soon as they were a little distracted, their hands let go. At this moment, I saw only a figure flash in the direction of Tohti. When I looked closely, Brother Jiu had already arrived in front of the old man.

That's really a speed like lightning, even if it is compared to peanuts, it is not much inferior. By the time everyone reacted, the knife in Brother Jiu's hand had already made a deep and long cut in Tuhti's stomach.

There was a "bang", and the crushed carcasses of the eagles were sprinkled on the ground, along with Tohti's intestines.

I secretly said that this dog day is really ruthless, and before he can find out about it, he actually put the old man to death. (To be continued......)
