Chapter 25: Tomb Horror (1)
The blood was left along Nangong Yu's palm, and the bats that were about to pounce on them were so frightened that they quickly flapped their wings and flew up, circled around them, and changed their direction to attack Xiao Jiu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Nangong Yu hurriedly pulled Xiao Jiu to his side and said, "Follow me." Xiao Jiu looked at the blood on his hand and the hovering bat with a puzzled expression, and said in surprise: "Are they afraid of your blood?"
Before Nangong Yu could speak, the six fire toads turned around the corner, and they stopped moving forward after seeing the bats in the sky. They have been natural enemies of each other in the ancient tomb for hundreds of years, and their "hatred" has long been ingrained, and they have already ignored Nangong Yu and Xiao Jiu, who are not threatening. The bats no longer entangled Xiao Jiu, and pounced on the fire toad all over the world. The six fire toads stood side by side in two columns, lined up as if they were fighting, and spit out their tongues as long as four feet, and there were more than twenty bats in one roll. They can eat more than a hundred at a time. But there were tens of thousands of bats, and they were instantly covered with six fire toads. The fire toad's tongue swept away a large part of its body as soon as it licked it, but the newly exposed part of its body was covered by bats that came forward one after another.
The blood of the fire toad is highly poisonous, and the bat immediately convulses after biting it, kicking its legs and poisoning it. But the number of bats is that each puff can suck the six fire toads dry. The fire toad's tongue kept sending the bat on its body into its belly, and after a while, its bulging belly swelled even more.
Nangong Yu and Xiao Jiu retreated to the wall and watched from afar, only to see that the flesh and blood of the six fire toads had been bitten were blurred, and the green water all over their bodies emitted a disgusting fishy smell. Two fire toads finally couldn't stand it anymore, made an earth-shaking "quack" sound, jumped up and fled, jumping and shaking their bodies while jumping, trying to shake off the bats on their bodies, and the splash covered the faces of the two. Where are the bats willing to let go, they bite to the death, and they refuse to let go until they are poisoned. Nangong Yujian cleared the road and said, "Let's go over quickly." ā
The two of them ran past the fire toad and looked back at the thrilling toad battle, which really felt like they were going to live after the catastrophe. Who knew that those bats who had nowhere to attack found them and fled, and flew towards Xiao Jiu in groups. Xiao Jiu scolded and ran away. Nangong Yu hurriedly shouted: "Don't run around, stay with me." Xiao Jiu suddenly retreated. The bats in the sky circled around the two, Nangong Yu raised his palm, and Xiao Jiu walked forward step by step.
They walked far away in a stalemate with the bat, and unconsciously returned to the place where Ouyang Ye drilled the cave just now. Seeing that the two toads at the entrance of the cave were still banging their heads against the hole. They have a lot of strength, and they really knocked the hole open quite a bit. Nangong Yu found that the heads of the two fire toads were full of knife marks, and their heads were covered with green blood, presumably Ouyang Ye had been injured with a scorched wood knife in the cave.
At this time, Ouyang Ye's voice came from the cave, and he scolded: "Come on, beast! Seeing the bats on the heads of the two, the fire toad couldn't take care of Ouyang Ye in the cave anymore, and jumped towards the bats. At the same time, the bat no longer worried about Xiao Jiu, and caught up with the fire toad.
Xiao Jiu hurriedly pulled Nangong Yu and jumped to the wall on the other side, "boom" twice, and the place where they were standing just now was heavily pressed by the two fire toads. Then the second battlefield of the "Toad War" was opened.
Nangong Yu saw that the two parties were temporarily killed, but the two fire toads would soon be unable to resist, so they hurriedly ran to the entrance of the cave and shouted inside: "Senior Ouyang, Mr. Zhang, come out quickly." Ouyang Ye immediately popped up and said, "You kid is not dead?" At the same time, he also saw Xiao Jiu with a sneering face, and said in surprise: "How come you are still alive?" Xiao Jiu smiled and said: "Master, I am in my prime, and the king of Hades can't bear to accept me." Ouyang Ye snorted, crawled out of the hole, and closed his mouth in surprise when the "Toad Bat Battle" said, "Obediently, these two waves of beasts have bitten themselves." ā
Lao Zhangtou and Xiao Zhang also crawled out, and Lao Zhangtou had already guessed what was going on when he saw the blood in Nangong Yu's hands. Xiao Zhang was puzzled and asked, "Why are you all right, and why are they killing each other?" Nangong Yu said: "Stay away from them first, and talk as you go." ā
They ran out for a while, and when they saw that the bats and fire toads were not chasing, they breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Jiu told what had just happened. Last time in front of the tomb gate, Ouyang Ye lost too much blood and was mentally weak, and he didn't know how Nangong Yu saved himself, but he was surprised when he heard about it at this time, and said, "What is so special about your blood?" Nangong Yu shook his head with a smile, unwilling to elaborate. Xiao Jiu is a person of Jinyiwei, and if he says it, he will expose his father, I don't know how Zhu Houxi will deal with his bloodline surnamed Zhu, according to common sense, he will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and no one will threaten his throne. Secondly, if he admits his identity, he will become Ouyang Ye and Ouyang Shan, and the relationship between them will change, Ouyang Ye will not speak to him as unscrupulously as he does now, he doesn't like to listen to lies, and he doesn't want to embarrass them.
Nangong Yu changed the subject and said: "Old man, where does this canal come from? Where does the downstream lead? And why can those bats come here from the Yongdao?" Lao Zhangtou said: "The upstream should lead to the royal tomb, and the downstream will meet with other underground rivers and flow deeper underground, and we can't go there." The bats are the guardians of the royal tombs, and the designers must have added a passage for them that only they can pass through, and it is impossible for us to pass through. ā
After a while, they came to the place where they were separated from Tan Mian's group, and they were afraid of encountering the fire toad again, so they began to move forward cautiously. After walking for an hour without any danger, I found that the water level was getting higher and higher, almost up to my chest, and it was very laborious to walk, and I had not yet swam fast.
As they were walking, they suddenly smelled a fishy smell, and they were already frightened birds, so they hurriedly took out the fire fold from the waterproof oil bag, and lit the torch to watch. Although it was difficult to distinguish the color in the dim light of the fire, it was still clear that there was a thick green mixed in the water upstream, and anyone could tell that it was the blood of the fire toad.
They walked slowly along the edge, and in addition to green blood, there were clumps of filth floating in their bodies, crawling with wriggling maggots. Xiao Jiu had a shallow stomach, and he couldn't help but spit it out when he smelled the smell. The further upstream you go, the more filth and green blood there becomes, and the aqueduct stinks worse than the stinky gutter. As the water level rose to their shoulders, some of the intestines and limbs that came in front of them covered their faces, and they couldn't dive over it if they wanted to lower their heads, because the water smelled even worse.
They soon came to the scene of the incident, only to see the corpse of a fire toad in the water in front of them. I didn't take two steps and calmed down, and the further I went, the more corpses of the fire toad came, and when I got to the back, piles of dead bodies in the water, green blood and filth were floating out of the corpses. Xiao Jiu was surprised: "They actually killed all these beasts! There are two Eight Great Eight masters who are really powerful." Ouyang Ye sneered: "It's not that the location has helped them, the water here is deep, and the most powerful tongue of the fire toad is useless in the water, they can kill it slowly." Xiao Jiu smiled disdainfully: "To put it lightly, you can kill one and take a look." I don't know who pouted and drilled into the hole just now. Ouyang Ye scolded: "Fuck, I'll kill one for you to see later." Xiao Jiu smiled and said: "It's all killed, who are you showing the hero now, oh, there is still a group of bats in the rear, you can go back and kill it." ā
They walked through the filthiest section of the canal as they spoke, and the water upstream became clear again. They washed their heads and faces stained with filth, and began to swim forward. After swimming out for a while, I felt that the resistance of the water was getting stronger and stronger, and Lao Zhangtou said that it should be almost the end. They struggled against the current, and in a short time they saw the shore not far away, and directly below there was a stone cave the size of a door, and inside was the source of the canal. The force of the water here is too strong, and I just paddle on the spot as hard as I can. Seeing that the shore is only six or seven feet away, but I can't swim over, as long as I breathe a sigh of relief, I will be immediately washed down by the current, and I will have to start again.
