Chapter 74: The Aftermath
Chen Ziyang stood at the entrance of the passage and looked back, only to see that where the explosives exploded before, a thick stream of water broke through the rocks and rushed into the stone cave. The water level in the cave rose rapidly, and the corpse demon disappeared, and I don't know where it was washed away by the current.
"My mother, this is a big disaster, look at the posture of this water, it won't be long before this tomb will be completely submerged." There was no time to pay attention to the movements of the corpse demon, so Chen Ziyang quickly turned around and ran into the passage.
Chen Ziyang prayed in his heart while running, hoping that the two of them, Umbrella Shishuai and Yang Lei, had already opened the thief hole, otherwise, the three of them would wait to become water ghosts! Chen Ziyang, who was physically exhausted, gritted his teeth and held the passage forward.
Chen Ziyang, who had just entered the tomb, suddenly felt that his feet were wet, and when he looked down, he found that the water had overflowed into the tomb. This water comes so fast! Rocks that have not been washed away by water pressure for hundreds of years have been blown open by themselves.
Walking in the water is more physically demanding. By the time Chen Ziyang ran to the tomb gate with the water, the water in the tomb had already reached his knees. Chen Ziyang looked up and saw that there were no two people in sight above the tomb door, only two backpacks hanging there, and it seemed that the two people had not left yet.
Underneath the tomb door, the pile of rubble that had been blown down by the explosives had been dug up and covered with earth. Using the last shred of strength, Chen Ziyang climbed along the rope to the tomb door.
Chen Ziyang, who had just climbed up, was almost beaten down by a shovel of dirt in his face. Looking down through the headlamp, he found that the thirty-year-old and Yang Lei were still digging in the grave.
"You two speed up, the water is about to overflow!"
"Water? What water? Eryang, what did you do again? Yang Lei asked.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, if you don't want to be a drowned ghost, hurry up." At this time, the three of them were exhausted under the fierce battles. Hearing the anxiety in Chen Ziyang's urging words, Umbrella Shishuai and Yang Lei knew that the matter was over, and they stopped talking nonsense and focused on the sapper shovel.
Just ten minutes later, when the water in the passage was about to pass through the tomb gate, the umbrella stone shuai finally opened the tomb road.
"Haha, Er Yang, let's go, let's escape." Yang Lei shouted happily.
Chen Ziyang hurriedly threw down the backpacks of the two people hanging above the tomb door, and then jumped into the robbery hole himself. Umbrella Shishuai was the first to drill out of the thief hole, and then Yang Lei also drilled out.
Just when Chen Ziyang had just poked half of his body out of the robbery hole, he suddenly felt that his ankle was suddenly grabbed by a big hand! The strength of this hand was so great that it turned Chen Ziyang over one by one in the tomb road. Chen Ziyang, who was facing up on his back, saw through the light of the headlamp that it was the corpse demon who grabbed his ankle in the thief hole.
However, there was only half of this corpse demon left, and the part below the corpse demon's chest was all gone. While Chen Ziyang lamented that this corpse demon was unlucky and was blown up so badly by his own explosives, the corpse demon stuck one hand into the soil, and grabbed Chen Ziyang's ankle with the other hand and pulled him into the thief hole.
Fortunately, Umbrella Shi Shuai was quick and saw Chen Ziyang's strange appearance, and one flew forward and grabbed Chen Ziyang's left hand. Then Yang Lei also reacted, and helped Umbrella Shishuai pull Chen Ziyang together. The two of them and half a corpse demon actually used Chen Ziyang's body to play tug-of-war in the cave again.
If this is pulled into the thief hole, it will be lifeless, Chen Ziyang hurriedly used his right hand to find the last Baiyang Pill in the pocket of his waist. "Goodbye, Cardinal Wang!" ”
As Chen Ziyang shouted, he was visibly stunned when he saw the corpse demon. Just when Chen Ziyang accurately punched the Baiyang Pill into the hollow eye socket of the corpse demon, and a burst of white eyes exploded, Chen Ziyang actually saw a trace of relief from the huge pain in the only yellow eye of the corpse demon.
After Baiyang Dan exploded, Chen Ziyang felt that his ankle was light, and then Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai pulled him out of the thief hole at once. The three people in the panic didn't have time to check the condition of the corpse demon, and hurriedly fled.
At this time, although the east has shone slightly. But it was still dark in the mountains. The three of them kept running until they exhausted the last of their strength, and then they collapsed in the dense forest, gasping for air.
It's just one night, and three people have experienced so much. Chen Ziyang thought that the old Taoist master was right, the job of robbing tombs was really not suitable for him, and he would never do this life-threatening business in the future.
When Chen Ziyang was woken up by the umbrella Shi Shuai, he saw Yang Lei holding the Baishou plum bottle by his side and watching carefully, while watching, he muttered: "It's okay, it's okay, fortunately, the thing is intact, this time it's not in vain, old umbrella, you can do express delivery with your packaging skills, and the express delivery will definitely not be damaged on the road." ”
After looking at his watch, Chen Ziyang realized that it was already noon. The three of them slept in this dense forest for most of the day. After dividing up the last bit of food in Umbrella Shi Shuai's backpack, the three of them walked in the direction of the half-cut car in their memory.
Because of the previous panic, the three of them had already lost their way, but fortunately, Chen Ziyang's compass indicated the direction. But even so, the three of them still missed Yang Lei's car. The three of them walked around and rested, and when it was dark again, they saw the lights of the Reed River in the distance.
Chen Ziyang knocked on the door of a hotel, and when the proprietress opened the door and looked at them, she was stunned and shouted: "There are ghosts!" Finally he ran into the house.
"Ghosts! Where? The three of them hurriedly looked behind them, thinking that the corpse demon had chased after them again. When I looked back, I found that there was nothing behind me. The three of them looked at each other in surprise, but they all burst out laughing.
It's really the rest of my life after the catastrophe, and I saw that the three of them were tossing and turning. The dirty soil, the three big flower faces, and the clothes are all in tatters from the branches in the woods, and they are all about to turn into strips of cloth, and now the image of the three people is really like a ghost, no wonder it scared the proprietress .
After washing up, the three of them had a full meal and slept until dawn.
Yang Lei retrieved half of the car and drove them in the direction of Big Walnut Town. Chen Ziyang sat in the back of the car, leaning back against the cab and looking in the direction of the diving fish dragon. I thought that after robbing this tomb, all the previous doubts would be solved, but who knew that there were more doubts in my heart.
There is no doubt that the corpse demon is Cardinal Wang, but why is Cardinal Wang buried here? Since he can match such a large mausoleum, why is he being refined into a corpse demon? And who made him a corpse? What was that monumental project that Cardinal Wang had built before? Where have you seen the familiar ball sculpture? What secrets are the corpses guarding?
I can't figure it out! Chen Ziyang rubbed his temples, at this time he felt that he was like the meaning of this diving fish dragon's lair, he had already turned into a dragon when he encountered shallow water. After going through so much, Chen Ziyang had a feeling in his heart that these were just the beginning......
