Chapter 076: Life Hangs by a Thread
After saying that, I turned around and walked to the empty coffin in the middle of the dormitory, waved my hand and beckoned, "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's find the exit quickly, otherwise if the thousand-year-old corpse returns here in a while, we will be in big trouble." ”
Hearing the words of the thousand-year-old corpse, several people shuddered in unison, a female corpse is so difficult to deal with, if you meet the thousand-year-old corpse head-on, there is no other way to deal with it.
"Yes, yes, this place should not be stayed for long." Xu Yaxian and Ren Yonghai hurriedly moved their steps, scattered and inspected the corners of the dormitory, as for Caiyun, as for Caiyun, as early as when I turned around, she had already obediently followed behind me and began to look for the exit that should theoretically exist.
I walked over to the jade platform where the coffin was placed, walked around it again, and after a closer look, I finally found a clue. Under this jade platform, there was a faint sound of water.
"Listen, there is the sound of running water down there." This discovery lifted my spirits.
"The sound of running water?" Ren Yonghai was attached to the ground and listened carefully, and sure enough, a voice came up.
"Really."
"Well, that says at least two things. First: the underside of this jade platform is empty, not a solid rock formation; Second: there is likely to be an underground river underneath. ”
With that, I crouched down and reached out and knocked on the stone wall.
There was a soft recollection of clicks coming from the stone wall, not a dull bangbang sound.
"Come here, this might be the exit." I shouted without raising my head.
Hearing my shout, several people quickly gathered around, repeated my movements, and lightly struck a few times on the jade wall, and then they all showed joy.
"Great, there must be a way out here." Xu Yaxian cheered.
"Don't be too happy, we have to find out where the mechanism is, otherwise this jade wall will probably not be able to break through with our manpower alone." I poured cold water on her.
"Hmph, the mechanism must be in this dormitory, and the exits have been found, are you afraid that you won't be able to find the switch?" Xu Yaxian is arrogant again.
Ren Yonghai hurriedly came out to play a round: "Okay, when you two are flirting, hurry up and find it, you must find it when the thousand-year-old corpse comes back." ”
"Team Ren, don't talk nonsense, who is the little couple with this guy! I won't ...... with him" Xu Yaxian's face was flushed, but before she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the entrance of the dormitory, and her face suddenly turned pale.
She raised her hand tremblingly, pointed to the door, and said in horror, "Quick, look! ”
I turned my head to look at it, and I couldn't help but burst out with a foul word: "Team Ren, you're a fucking crow's mouth." ”
Standing at the entrance of the dormitory, isn't it the thousand-year-old corpse!
Although I had been in its mausoleum all night, this was the first time I had seen the owner of the tomb in its entirety, who was supposed to lie quietly in a coffin.
It is about one meter eight or nine meters tall, of course, this is certainly not the height in front of it, most of it is the result of receiving Yin Qi nourishment for many years.
Unlike the female corpse, its body is still a physical body, and has not been tempered into a yin body. This is not difficult to understand, because the female corpse is placed in the eyes of the Bagua Double Yin Array as a container for yin qi, and the yin qi is continuously absorbed by the tomb owner through them, and at the same time, it is also refining their bodies.
Therefore, only the ten female corpses in the Bagua Double Yin Array have become real and imaginary Yin bodies, among which the two white-clothed female corpses in the Yin and Yang Diagram are even more powerful, but the body of the tomb owner still maintains a normal state.
Therefore, theoretically, although the owner of the tomb will not become a white jade and flawless pure yin body like a female corpse, even if it is a corpse, it should be lifelike, and it should be like a living person.
But what I've seen is not the case at all.
It was covered in an armor that did not look like the dress of a prince or king, but rather as if it had been ripped from a figurine in a clearing.
However, it does not wear a scarf or hand armor, and its face and hands are exposed.
Its face was so badly rotted that it couldn't see what it looked like before it was born, and I could even clearly see maggots burrowing in and out of the rotten flesh on its face.
No wonder every time I encounter it, I can smell an unusually strong corpse odor, judging from the situation on the face of this tomb owner, I am afraid that its whole body is already rotten, if it were not for the yin qi of the Bagua Double Yin Dragon Tower Treasure Hall to maintain its corpse, it would have rotted into a pair of white bones a long time ago.
Seeing his ghostly appearance, I couldn't help but guess: "It seems that although this tomb owner repelled the last wave of intruders, he obviously suffered a big loss, and he didn't know what spell he had hit, and he couldn't even take care of his own body." ”
It's just that, a carrion corpse with a festering body like this basically won't become a very powerful ancient corpse, because the body is already rotten, and it is difficult to support its actions, and the carrion corpse has no intelligence, and it doesn't have a deceitful "thinking" like the thousand-year-old corpse in front of him. ”
Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the abrupt big net in the deep pit trap, although that net saved the four of us, but now that I think about it, that net is the handiwork of the thousand-year-old corpse in front of me, and the purpose of doing this is to get more blood food.
"Roar!" The ancient corpse saw a few of us at the first time, and it let out a roar of rage, and without giving us time to prepare, it rushed straight at us.
Before the person pounced, the stench of corpses that was so thick that it could not be dissolved had already diffused first.
"Let's go up with police officer, Xu Yaxian, Caiyun, you hurry up and find the agency." The situation was critical, I yelled, and met Ren Yonghai together, trying to drag the thousand-year-old corpse and give the two girls as much time as possible to find the exit mechanism.
With the sword finger in my left hand, I quickly drew an arc of light in the air, and hit it before the ancient corpse pounced.
With a "bang", the arc of light accurately hit the ancient corpse's body, but it didn't have any effect, the ancient corpse was only shocked back two steps, and then pounced even more fiercely.
I still underestimated it, the arc of light emitted by the ban just now can almost only tickle it against such a thousand-year-old zongzi.
"Damn, it's pretty good!" Ren Yonghai and I glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and then started at the same time, rushing towards the ancient corpse.
We were only a few steps away from the ancient corpse, and as soon as we started, we almost collided face to face, and the ancient corpse roared with its five fingers wide open, and its black fingertips almost poked under our noses.
Ren Yonghai is an old criminal policeman, and his fighting skills are naturally above me, and he knows what I want to do just by looking at him. At this moment, the two of us suddenly leaned down and slid down, hugging the ancient corpse's knees in a standard Gracie Jiu-Jitsu move.
"Up!" Then sliding forward, the bodies of the two of us instantly turned behind the ancient corpse, one left and one right, and let out an angry shout, and the whole body worked together to lift the ancient corpse up.
As long as it is lifted off the ground, it can be thrown down, and Ren Yonghai and I can lock its hand and foot joints together with our own weight, maybe we can temporarily control this thousand-year-old corpse with infinite strength.
Because the movement of this ancient corpse is too fast, if it is hard, unless I still have a chance to win with one blow, otherwise in this situation, we don't dare to expect to get this thousand-year-old zongzi at all, as long as we can drag it until the two women open the exit, we will have hope to get out of trouble.
However, I still underestimated its power, and with the combined efforts of the two of us, the ancient corpse stood as if it had learned the golden bell jar, still unmoving.
"Up!" The two of us shouted angrily again, and the green tendons on our foreheads flared up, and all the strength to feed came out.
But the result was still in vain, and instead of being shaken, the ancient corpse reacted, and the two corpse claws poked down at us.
I didn't have time to react, and the black fingertips immediately pierced into the flesh of me and Ren Yonghai, and before we could let go of our hands and dodge out, it closed its five fingers and immediately clasped the shoulders of the two of us.
Before I could experience the sharp pain in my shoulder, I felt a strong force coming, and the whole person was immediately lifted. Looking at the side again, Ren Yonghai was also treated the same.
The ancient corpse lifted the two of us up to it, poked its head forward, opened its mouth and bit at me.
The situation was extremely bad, I endured the sharp pain in my shoulder, said that it was too late, it was too soon, I grabbed the arm of the ancient corpse with one hand, freed my left hand, gritted my teeth, and struck a palm fiercely, and the forbidden light emitted a strong light, and along with my palm, it sank into its carrion.
Then, I smelled a pungent scorching odor.
At this moment, Ren Yonghai and I kicked it with our feet, and finally broke free, and the scene temporarily fell into a stalemate.
The ancient corpse was burned by me with a forbidden ring, and at this time it twisted its head, and although it was furious, it did not dare to continue attacking us.
However, what neither we nor the ancient corpse noticed was that the white-clothed female corpse that we had completely forgotten in the corner, although she still maintained a stiff posture, her original sluggish expression seemed to have changed slightly.
After a short stalemate, the ancient corpse seemed to realize the power of the forbidden, but at the same time, he refused to give up, but prepared to make a more violent impact.
"Roar!" The ancient corpse let out a tyrannical roar, and then moved.
I saw that the ancient corpse gave up the attack on me, and chose Ren Yonghai instead, it seems that it is jealous of my forbiddenness, which reflects its wisdom.
The power of the ancient corpse is really terrifying, and Ren Yonghai is difficult to resist at all, but fortunately, he is agile, holding the ancient corpse's hand with both hands, and as soon as his waist is forced, his two feet are raised. However, if he wanted to have a follow-up action - to drop the ancient corpse to the ground, it was impossible.
Helpless, Ren Yonghai could only hang on the arm of the ancient corpse like a monkey. The ancient corpse flicked frantically, and under the action of centrifugal force, Ren Yonghai couldn't hold its arm anymore, and was thrown out in the direction of its arm dance.
Ren Yonghai was thrown to the wall of the dormitory, fell to the ground with a muffled snort, and rolled on the ground a few times before stopping, unable to get up for a while.
A fishy smell followed him like a shadow, Ren Yonghai had just straightened up from the ground, and before he could recover from his state, he saw a jet-black corpse claw, poking at his forehead.
"Officer Ren, get out of the way!"
"Be careful!"
The ancient corpse came too fast, and before my voice fell, the black and sharp corpse claw had already poked in front of Ren Yonghai's eyes.
Even from a distance, I could feel the sharpness of the ancient corpse's fingertips.
It is not difficult to imagine that if this time is true, Ren Yonghai will definitely die and cannot die again. However, Ren Yonghai had just been thrown and his whole body was weak, and he couldn't exert any strength at all for a while, and could only watch the disgusting rotting corpse face of the ancient corpse getting bigger and bigger.
At this moment, the screams of Xu Yaxian and Caiyun, as well as my roar, suddenly became ethereal, and Ren Yonghai seemed to be as far away as a century from us in the reach of the claws of the ancient corpse.
I could only pray that I could hear my own heartbeat at this point, bang, bang, louder and louder, until it filled my ears and covered out all the sounds.
The corpse claw had already probed Ren Yonghai's forehead, and when I saw Ren Yonghai like a lamb to the slaughter, under the claws of the ancient corpse, I could clearly feel that death was so terrible.
