Chapter 25: Tomb Horror (2)

Being in the water is the same as in the quicksand, no matter how good the light work is, it is useless, if you can't swim, you can't swim, and the bottom will still sink to the bottom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and at this time, Nangong Yu reflects his excellent advantages in water, his water sense is excellent, his body is in the water flow side by side, like a sharp knife shuttles through it, every muscle of the body is fully utilized, reducing the resistance of the water flow to a minimum. After a while, he climbed to the shore, he jerked his head, reached out and grabbed the shore, the current under him blew so that he almost let go, gritted his teeth and pulled his body closer, grabbed the shore with both hands at the same time, and climbed up with both arms. He didn't have time to lie down and rest, so he quickly took out the rope from the backpack behind him, and tied it into a circle of 'life and death buckles' like the old man's head. Although he had only seen Lao Zhang's head tied once, he was 'ingenious', and he could see it at a glance, and then threw it at Xiao Zhang, who was closest to the shore.

Xiao Zhang caught it, got into the circle and tightened it, and then grabbed Lao Zhangtou's hand, and Lao Zhangtou grabbed Xiao Jiu's hand. Xiao Jiu knew that Ouyang Ye was beside him, but he pretended not to see it, and shouted, "You can pull us." Ouyang Ye scolded: "You fuck!" As soon as he finished speaking, he vented his true anger, and was swept away by the current, he quickly shut up and swam up desperately. Nangong Yu said angrily: "Xiao Jiu, don't make trouble, hurry up and arrest people." Xiao Jiu snorted lightly, unwilling to hold Ouyang Ye's hand, stretched out his foot, and said, "Come, grab the little master's foot." Ouyang Ye scolded again and grabbed his ankle.

Nangong Yu tried his best to pull them to the shore, and pulled them up one by one, except for Ouyang Ye, who had strong internal strength, everyone else was exhausted, lying on the ground panting. After resting for a while, they re-lit their torches to illuminate the road ahead. I saw that it was still a stone road, and there were some food scraps left on the ground nearby, obviously Tan Mian and they had also rested here. Anyway, there is only one road, and I am not afraid of two waves of people going to the fork, and after resting for a while, I walked in the winding stone road for half an hour, and suddenly saw that the stone road came to the end, and at the end was a quicksand pit fifty zhang long. Xiao Jiu frowned and said, "Why is there no way, what about them?" Lao Zhangtou pointed to the slide on the wall at twenty-five feet, and said: "That is a flap trap, and above it is the palace of the royal tomb, they must have climbed up along the slide." Xiao Jiu said: "But how can you get through the twenty-five-zhang quicksand pit, you can't get out if you fall into it." Xiao Zhang said: "Have you forgotten that we have a pair of 'wooden duck palms' in our equipment, and the stressed surface will be evenly dispersed when you wear it, and you won't fall into quicksand." ”

Xiao Jiu smiled: "Yes, I forgot." "They had just crouched down to pack their backpacks when they suddenly noticed a corpse lying on the edge of the quicksand pit. The corpse had turned into a skeleton, and judging by the color of the bones, it was not long dead. Old Zhangtou's face suddenly changed color, and he looked nervously at the surrounding walls, and said, "Could it be that there are vampire bats here!"

Xiao Jiu recognized that the man was wearing the clothes of the brocade guard, and looked down in surprise, only to see that he had the waist tag of "Beizhen Fusi" hanging on his waist, and a set of iron gauntlets on his dry left wrist, and said in a lost voice: "It's the Seventh Master! Uncle, what killed the Seventh Master." Nangong Yu said: "There are no bats here, and bats eat people It's hard to eat so clean, you see that there are only bones left on the seventh master's body, and there is no trace of flesh." Xiao Jiu said: "What could that be." Nangong Yu glanced at the corpse and said, "It should be something from this quicksand pit." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jiu saw a bee-sized red ant crawl out of the skeleton's hollow eye sockets, and then another one crawled out, and after a while, a dense mass of big red ants crawled out of the skeleton's eye sockets and mouth. Xiao Jiu exclaimed, "It's an ant colony!" As soon as the words fell, I saw that the yellow quicksand pit suddenly turned red, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a tide of millions of red ants, like a huge moving red carpet.

The old man shouted, "Use a torch! Ants are afraid of fire." They hurried to point torches at the raging ant colony. Who knew that the red ants were not afraid of the fire, and rushed in directly, and their bodies were burned to ashes, and the sound of "zizi" was endless. Xiao Zhang was shocked: "There are ants who are not afraid of fire!" Xiao Jiu scolded: "Do you see that they are still ants, they are all fine." "In addition to the red ants that crawled towards them, other red ants climbed up the walls and roofs, surging in all directions. Xiao Jiu said: "Run, it'll be safe to go back to the canal." Lao Zhang said: "The entrance of the underground palace is in front, when will the backwater canal come again?" Xiao Jiu said fiercely: "That's better than being devoured by ten thousand ants." Lao Zhangtou glanced at Nangong Yu and said, "Have you forgotten that this little brother still has magical blood? Maybe ants are also afraid." ”

Xiao Jiu suddenly said: "That's right, Brother Nangong, try it with your blood." When I get back, I'll send you a box of ejiao to replenish it. Nangong Yu laughed, and had no choice but to take out the dagger and cut the palm again, and blood came out again. He was afraid that the ant's tentacles would not be able to smell, so he lowered his bloody palm to the ant. Sure enough, the ant colony didn't dare to step forward, and walked around him to attack the others.

Lao Zhangtou and Xiao Zhang hurriedly dipped their sleeves in his blood, danced a few times towards the ant colony, and forced the ant colony back. Ouyang Ye not only dipped his sleeves, but also painted his face and ankle, but when it was not enough, Xiao Jiu squeezed over with a snow-white silk scarf and said, "Let Rang, oops, you have all dipped in blood." Saying that, he held Nangong Yu's hand, squeezed it hard, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the blood is still sufficient, I'll send you an extra box of Ejiao." ”

Nangong Yu watched speechlessly as they finished wiping. At this time, the red ants have surrounded them, and they are like islands standing on the ant sea, only there are no ants around them. Lao Zhangtou said: "Don't panic, we have 'divine blood', ants don't dare to come, change into wooden duck paws and prepare to climb the slide." ”

They took out a wooden plank that resembled a folding fan, and when unfolded, it was twice the size of the fan. They fixed their feet in the center and tied ropes on both sides to the surface of their feet, which was shaped like a duck's paw. Like ducks, they also moved towards the quicksand pit with their legs crossed, surrounded by tens of millions of red ants, and the scene was strange and funny.

In order to reduce the stress surface, as soon as they entered the quicksand pit, they bent down and pushed their luggage forward, and the ants also followed back to the sand pit and remained surrounded. After a while, they came to the slide, at this time Xiao Zhang's blood dipped in the sleeve has been absorbed by the cloth, and dipped in the sand, suddenly found that the ant colony began to move on him, he suddenly came, just wanted to wipe the sand off the sleeve It was too late, the ants surrounded him like a tide, and a swarm of bees seemed to get under his body, like carrying food, lifted him up, and ran forward. The old man screamed, took off his coat without thinking, and took two quick steps to cover his body. The ant was so frightened that he quickly withdrew from under Xiao Zhang's body, and climbed up to Lao Zhang's body instead. The ants crawled very quickly on the human body, and immediately crawled all over the body, and the old man was wearing everything in it, he was emaciated, his muscles had atrophied, and he fell down with a cry of pain from the bite, and rolled in the sand pit, intending to shake off the ants on his body.

Xiao Zhang exclaimed, "Grandpa!" The red ants chased after the torrent, and the old Zhang kept rolling, and after a while he came to the end of the wall, and he just wanted to climb up with his hands on the wall, but suddenly his feet were empty, revealing a large round hole three feet wide, and the rolling quicksand washed him into the hole, and he didn't know where it led.

Nangong Yu and the others all felt that the quicksand under their feet was flowing towards the round hole, and they began to stand unsteadily. Xiao Zhang roared, and rushed towards the round hole with red eyes. Nangong Yu stopped him and said, "Hurry up the slide, the quicksand will wash you down soon." Xiao Zhang yelled with tears in his eyes: "You get out of the way! I'm going to save grandpa!" Nangong Yu also yelled: "You can't go." Xiao Zhang was about to say more, Nangong Yu suddenly held his shoulders tightly, stared at him word for word and said, "I'll go." When Xiao Zhang was still stunned, Nangong Yu had already walked along the quicksand towards the round hole.
