Chapter 14: The Merman

Chapter 14 Shark Man

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"I don't care if the monarch of the ancient Shu Kingdom is a human being." Zhang Hefang interrupted and said, his implication is very simple, that is, based on the current situation, it is not appropriate for us to discuss these issues. The real problem is in front of us -- Zhang Hefang has decided to enter this tomb, but the biggest problem in front of us is that there is a certain danger in entering the tomb, and how can we avoid this risk?

Just when we were at a loss, Xiao Xia suddenly opened his backpack and said, "I don't know if it will be useful to use the ghost cage grass." ”

"Cpentyl plant? What's that? "I've never heard of grass like this.

"It mainly grows in Guangxi and is a commonly used herb by local Zhuang wizards." Natsu explained to me.

"Herbs? Is it used to heal? ”

Bao Ye laughed twice and said, "Haha, it's a cure, it's just a cure for ghosts." ”

"Ghosts get sick too?" I said in amazement.

Bao Ye laughed twice and said, "If the ghost is disobedient, you have to cure it, understand." ”

Zhang Hefang hurriedly said on the side: "Okay, okay, don't talk about these useless things." The smoke generated by soaking the ghost in the child's urine for seven days and then drying it, and then burning it does have the effect of collecting ghosts and calming spirits, but it is important to know that the things below are not ghosts, but entities, and this method may not work. ”

At this time, Bu Jin suddenly interrupted, stepped forward, and said, "It works, please hand me the ghost cage grass." ”

When Xiao Xia heard this, her eyebrows furrowed, and her face showed some dissatisfaction, probably because she came up with the method of using the ghost cage grass, but at this time, Bu Jin seemed to be anti-guest, and asked Xiao Xia to hand the ghost cage grass to her.

Although Xiao Xia was dissatisfied, after all, he was subordinate to Zhang Hefang's disciple, no matter what she thought in her heart, as long as Zhang Hefang gave an order, she would obey it unconditionally. Zhang Hefang nodded at her, Xiao Xia had no choice but to hand the bundle of ghost cage grass in his backpack to Bu Jin.

I was a little surprised, and subconsciously rummaged through my own backpack, but found that there was no such thing in my equipment bag, and I couldn't help but ask Bao Ye: "Bao Ye, why don't I have that ghost cage in my backpack?" ”

Bao Ye said: "Our ten equipment bags all look the same, but in fact, the equipment in them has been carefully selected by our boss, that is to say, the equipment in our respective backpacks is different from person to person." ”

After I listened, I hurriedly looked through my backpack and found that there was really no rare equipment like Xiao Xia, Binzi and Brother Liao, but some very practical self-defense weapons, as well as some canned food and compressed biscuits and some essential things for survival in the wild.

I asked Bao Ye, "Then what kind of equipment do you have in your backpack?" ”

Bao Ye said: "Why do you ask this, you will know it in the future, keep it secret for the time being, hahahaha." ”

Looking at what Bao Ye said to me, I was suddenly stunned, and felt that such a conversation seemed to have a sense of déjà vu, which reminded me of a person - Ryazan.

But I didn't continue to think about it, I just watched as Bu Jin took the bundle of ghost cage grass, as if he was going to add something to the ghost cage plant. The appearance of the ghost cage plant is no different from chopsticks, but it is softer, and what attracts attention is its color, which is a faint blue, and I don't know why it is this color.

The rest of us watched Bu Jin's every move, only to see Bu Jin put the wrist-thick bundle of ghost cage grass on the ground, asked Zhang Hefang for a short knife, and actually cut the artery of his wrist at once.

"Bu Jin, what are you doing?" I almost blurted it out, without thinking about it at all.

Zhang Hefang said to me: "Don't worry, she has her own measure." ”

I didn't say anything more, but I saw that after Bu Jin's wrist was scratched, it was like a rose blooming at the wound, and with a "brush", blood flowed out, all spraying on the top of the ghost cage grass. Bu Jin didn't feel sorry for her blood at all, she didn't show any panic, and very patiently and carefully soaked every inch of the ghost cage grass with blood. The faces of the others present remained unchanged, they were all wizards, and it seemed that they had long been accustomed to all this. After Bu Jin finished bleeding, he simply bandaged the wound with my help.

After that, Bu Jin picked up the ghost cage grass, plucked a few of his own hairs and mixed them together, and then asked Zhang Hefang to make a fire. Moreover, this fire is used to practice witchcraft, so you can't use a lighter, you can only use a match to light some small branches, and then use the branches to ignite the cage plant.

As soon as the bright light of the fire touched the cage plant, it immediately produced a thick smoke, and to my surprise, the ghost cage plant did not seem to burn, although the bundle of ghost cage grass was very dry, but it just did not burn, it was always smoking, and the smoke was not pungent to us.

Bu Jin threw the smoking ghost cage grass into the tomb, and everyone immediately stood up and stepped aside. As if I was afraid that something would suddenly emerge from the tomb, I didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took two steps back.

After about three cigarettes, suddenly, without warning, several high-pitched, painful roars rang out from the tomb.

Everyone was on standby, and Zhang Hefang reminded everyone: "Don't use a gun, it's too loud." ”

Everyone nodded silently, and each pulled out the long knife in his backpack, and I was no exception.

Gradually, we noticed that the soil around the tomb began to loosen, and then a hand full of fish scales poked out of the tomb, and with a roar, more hands began to poke out from the entrance of the tomb.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and a monster covered in scales, yellow hair, green eyes, sharp teeth, and mucus crawled out of it. Bao Ye's reaction was extremely fast, his hand rose and fell, and directly cut off the head of the monster, and then, the interior of the tomb began to pour out like a tide of many monsters, and everyone stood around the tomb, standing firmly, without saying a word, waving their hands and starting to chop.

At first, although the appearance of the monster made people's scalps tingle, everyone kept slashing and slashing, and their mouths were full of addiction. However, gradually, as the number of monsters in the wooden tomb increased, everyone began to feel a little tired. Of course, this feeling of exhaustion is not due to physical exertion, but to mental fatigue. Although those monsters had hideous faces and seemed to be ferocious by nature, they had lost their brutal nature and become vulnerable after being smoked by the smoke of the ghost cage grass dipped in Bu Jin's blood, and for a while, at the entrance of the tomb, black juice was splashed, and countless miserable screams made me a little unbearable.

It went on and on until five or six minutes. By the time the last monster died under Bao Ye's hands, everyone was already exhausted and out of breath.

The fat old python's physical strength didn't seem to be very good, and he kept complaining in his mouth: "W-What the hell is going on?" Is it a nest? Why so many? ”

Brother Liao spat and said fiercely: "It's not a grin, I'm a little disgusting when I kill it." ”

I gasped and asked, "What the hell are these, what the hell are these?" ”

"Isn't this obvious, you look at the body and lower body of the monster, they don't have legs at all, it's like a fishtail, you look at their body, and then there's something like a gill, it's obviously a merman, that is, a fishman."

Bao Ye looked relaxed and said, "Binzi, Brother Liao, what do you two think of this time?" This isn't a tomb, right? ”

Binzi wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead with his cuffs and said, "I take back what I said before, this shouldn't be a tomb." ”

Compared with Binzi's sudden change, Brother Liao was obviously reluctant to change his previous judgment like this, he said: "Whether it is an ancient tomb or not, it is difficult to make a conclusion now. Bao Zai, you are also a person who has seen the world, and you also know that there are many evil things in this world, although you are not specialized in tomb robbing, but, I think you must have heard that many ancients raised monsters in their tombs to protect their tombs. ”

"Okay, good," Bao Ye didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the argument, and said directly: "Anyway, now that the danger has been lifted, it's useless for us to grind here about who is right and who is wrong, just hurry down, seeing is believing, this is better than anything else." ”

Zhang Hefang nodded in agreement, and then Bin Zi and Brother Liao each took out the safety rope for the expedition from their backpacks, tied one end of the rope to the trunk of a large tree closest to us, and hung the other end into the tomb.

Zhang Hefang pointed at Bin Zi and said, "Bin Zi, Ah Liao, you two go first." ”

Bin Zi and Brother Liao nodded, and began to climb down the rope, followed by Lao Qi and Xiao Xia, followed by Bu Jin, and only me and Lao Python, Bao Ye and Zhang Hefang remained.

I looked at the fat old python, and he said to me: "Don't look at me, my palace, otherwise my hand will slip, and I will have to crush you to death." ”

I was in no mood to joke, so I walked straight to the entrance of the tomb, and suddenly, a dark wind seemed to blow out of the tomb.
