Chapter 238: Water Ghoul (II)
Although the ghost's body fell into the water, the black claws still clung to the crook of the tortured leg, and it was still pulling outwards with all its might.
Xing Chang in pain did not hesitate to clench his back molars, inserted a folded steel fan into the gap in his palm, and pried it outward, and forcibly pried his claws out of the crook of his legs, and the hook-like sharp nails brought out some minced flesh from the crooks of Xing Chang's legs, and the blood splashed out of the blood holes left by the five claws, and it looked like he was grasping quite deeply.
"Master Xing, are you okay?"
Jiao San saw that he had fallen heavily in the cabin, his hands tightly covering the crook of his bloody legs, and he didn't care about paddling anymore, so he hurriedly rushed over with a loud shout.
At the same time, Xu Tianchuan also sharply nailed the claws that he had pried out to the board of the ship with the Heavenly Sword.
Under the piercing of the Heavenly Sword, this claw was instantly burned into ashes, and a wisp of black smoke came out, and a scorched smell permeated the air.
"Zongzi?"
Xu Tianchuan frowned, hurriedly took out the antidote pill, and gave it to Xing Chang, and at the same time took out a bandage and threw it to Jiao San: "Stop the bleeding first!" ”
Boom......
Boom......
Before Xu Tianchuan's words fell, there was another violent impact under the wooden boat, causing the wooden boat to shake back and forth, and it could be disintegrated at any time, or the ship would capsize directly.
At this time, Xu Tianchuan used his night vision to see that there were tumbling undercurrents in many places in the surrounding waters, and they were still snoring and bubbling up, and a large black shadow appeared under the water surface, swimming rapidly, towards the wooden boat, all of which were this kind of ghostly thing.
"Shopkeeper Xu, this ...... It's not a water monster, it looks like a rice dumpling! ”
Jiao San quickly helped the wound of Chang Chang's crooked leg to tie a tight bandage to stop the bleeding, and at the same time looked at the cabin, a black head that had just been cut off by Xu Tianchuan with the Youtian Sword was cut off, and exclaimed incredibly.
As a professional and senior Tufuzi, Jiao San is very familiar with zongzi.
Looking at the head that was cut off by Xu Tianchuan and landed in the cabin of the wooden boat at this time, the skin was dry, there were only white eyeballs, the black pupils were almost invisible, the eye sockets and facial features were sunken, it was obviously a zongzi!
As for the incredible, this trip is mainly to find the ghost god, but not to rob the tomb and touch the gold, how can there be zongzi in this place, and it is still at the bottom of the river?
"That's right, it's a zongzi! It's a ghoul! ”
Xu Tianchuan nodded, agreeing with Jiao San's words, and Xu Tianchuan himself felt very incredible.
How can there be water ghouls in this place?
A water ghoul is also a type of rice dumpling, also known as a water corpse or water ghost.
But usually these water ghouls are found in water holes.
And the water cave refers to the ancient tomb that has been flooded.
In ancient times, in the selection of tombs, sometimes the selected tomb site may be waterlogged because of the low terrain, or even because the geological subsidence becomes a river of water, or it may be groundwater infiltration, anyway, there are many reasons for the accumulation of water in ancient tombs.
If the corpses in the tomb have undergone corpse transformation, and then they have been flooded, the zongzi will adapt to the environment in the water and become water ghouls because they have been soaked in water for too long.
Zongzi doesn't need to breathe in the first place, so after adapting to the environment in the water, the water is excellent! And the nature, which is also the nature of zongzi, can keenly perceive the yang energy of human beings.
"There's an ancient tomb around here!"
Xu Tianchuan shouted violently.
The presence of water ghouls here can only prove one hard fact, that is, there is an ancient tomb here, and it is a very old tomb, at least a thousand years ago, because it is soaked in water all year round, and the amount of water is still very large, it is impossible to build a tomb directly underwater.
When they came here for the first time, Xu Tianchuan and Xing Chang found that this was a feng shui treasure land surrounded by mountains and blessed by all directions, but they didn't expect that there was really a tomb built here.
As for whether this ancient tomb will have something to do with the ghost god, there is no way to determine for the time being.
Rumble!
It was at this moment that the underwater ghouls slammed into the wooden boat again with a rumbling sound.
At the same time, the approaching water ghoul fiercely stretched his arm out of the water and grabbed the edge of the wooden boat, trying to rush up.
Jiao Sanru cut through the chaos with a quick knife, frantically waving the black gold ancient knife in his hand, and slashed at the water ghoul holding the wooden boat.
The razor-sharp black gold ancient knife splits the ghouls effortlessly.
Maybe if you change it to ordinary zongzi, it won't have such a good effect.
But the ghouls are different.
This is also one of the biggest weaknesses of water ghouls, because of the perennial immersion in water, even if the body does not develop edema and swelling, but also because of the effect of perennial immersion in water, the body bones are fragile.
But there were so many ghouls here, and they were all rapidly approaching the wooden boats, and the splash on the surface of the water was getting bigger and bigger, as if it had completely exploded.
If this continues, it will not be possible to last long.
"Uncle, the bottom of the cabin is cracked, and water has begun to seep!"
Xing Chang gritted his teeth and stood up against the sharp pain caused by the crook of his leg.
At this time, the wooden ship has been knocked out of the crack under the water by water ghouls, seeping water into the cabin, and slowly losing buoyancy and sinking on the surface of the water.
"Grab the rope and go up to the stone tablet first!"
Xu Tianchuan made a decision immediately, exerted force under his feet, jumped to the stalactites in front of him more than three meters away with excellent light skills, and quickly climbed up a few meters, and at the same time took out a bundle of hemp rope and tied it to the stalactites, turned around and threw it to Xing Chang and Jiao San.
Every time the rope can be of great use, so Xu Tianchuan put dozens of bundles of rope in the system storage space for emergency use.
Xing Chang and Jiao San grabbed the rope that Xu Tianchuan threw over one after another, and forcefully swept onto the stalactite, Xu Tianchuan was reaching out to help him pull the two up.
This natural stalactite has been artificially carved into the shape of a tiger's body, so the surface has lost its original smoothness, and there are many water chestnuts that are just convenient for climbing and landing.
Click!
Xing Chang and Jiao San had just used the hemp rope thrown by Xu Tianchuan to climb the stalactite, and the entire wooden boat behind them was completely smashed by the water ghouls from below, and the boat board made a crisp breaking sound, drowning in the water, and the surrounding water ghouls immediately frantically pounced on the submerged wooden boat.
Fortunately, there is a stalactite here, otherwise, I am afraid there would not even be a place to escape.
In this way, thanks to this 'clone' of the ghost god?
Whoa...... Whoa......
Looking at the entire surface of the water, the movement of the water ghouls rolling on the surface of the water became more intense.
And the wooden boat, torn into pieces by water ghouls, floated on the water.
Perhaps because they didn't eat, and felt the existence of yang energy on Xu Tianchuan's three bodies, some water ghouls began to climb up with stalactites, their faces were hideous and fierce, cold and terrifying, and the sharp black five-fingered claws were like iron tongs, which could firmly grasp the water chestnuts and small holes of the stalactites.
"The dumplings are up!"
Jiao San tightly grasped a water chestnut of stalactites, and at the same time thought of the Luoyang shovel behind him, and quickly spliced the Luoyang shovel together with one hand, and poked hard at the several water ghouls who were climbing up below.
"How can there be so many water ghouls here?"
Xing Chang looked at the terrifying spectacle on the surface of the water, and visually measured the number of water ghouls, not one thousand, but at least eight hundred, and there were still in the distance, converging on this side.
Even if it's safe for the time being, it's definitely not a long-term solution.
"Undertaker! These are all burial martyrs of the ancient tombs! And the collective corpse mutation, and it was flooded, and they all became water ghouls! ”
Xu Tianchuan's expression was determined, although this was just a guess, the accuracy should be 99%.
More than 1,000 years ago, collective burial was a very normal thing, and collective corpse changes basically occurred in collective burial pits, because the environmental impact and various special factors that caused the corpse were the same.
That being said, whether it is in ancient historical books or in the relevant documents of tomb robbery and gold, it is extremely rare for a collective large-scale corpse to occur.
Xu Tianchuan saw it once today, and he also experienced it, which can be regarded as 'lucky'.
In addition, judging from so many martyrs, this ancient tomb is definitely still a big tomb!
"His grandmother's! Grandpa, I'm going to have a big game with you! ”
Jiao San's emotions were almost too violent to the point of madness at this time, and he took out a bundle of explosives from his backpack, with a hideous and fierce expression on his face.
Because yesterday when dealing with devils, the explosives were not used because the lead would go out when it came into contact with water.
Therefore, yesterday overnight, the lead of the explosive was improved to be waterproof, roughly wrapping a layer of waterproof tape on the lead, because the lead burns faster than the speed at which the tape enters the water, so that it can be detonated in the water.
Xu Tianchuan watched Jiao San take out a bundle of explosives from his backpack and didn't stop it.
In this place, there is no need to think about the risk of collapse at all.
So I watched Jiao San ignite the explosives, and then quickly threw them into the water seven or eight meters away.
The waterproof effect of the lead is really useful.
I saw the lead burning rapidly underwater, and because it was wrapped with waterproof tape, the sparks produced by the burning were even clearly visible.
Rumble......
Xu Tianchuan saw with his own eyes that the lead burned out, and then there was a violent muffled sound of 'boom' under the water.
The power of this explosive is really fierce, not ordinary.
Under this violent muffled sound, the surrounding water surface with a diameter of about four or five meters was blown up in huge waves, followed by many dense water ghouls, and all of them were blown to pieces.
The powerful shock wave from the explosion also violently impacted the water in all directions.
Fortunately, Jiao San threw the explosives farther, if he threw it closer, this stalactite might not be able to be saved.
Jiao San looked at the surface of the water and seemed to be very satisfied with his explosives explosion, so while laughing, he immediately took out a bundle of explosives from the backpack behind him......
