Chapter 17: Cruel and merciless(1/2)

"Uh!" Tuheti screamed in his throat, and then he cried and wanted to pounce there, "Divine Eagle!"

Qin Feng held him tightly, "You don't want to live anymore!"

Tuhti immediately knelt on the ground, beating his chest and kowtowed, as sad as his death relatives... The Tajiks' reverence and love for eagles are something we cannot understand, and now everyone has no time to think about it.

Dozens of huge eagles piled up in front, almost blocking the road. Peanuts removed their equipment and looked up, as if they wanted to go up and take a look.

"Young man, what are you doing?" Master Shui blocked in front of Peanut.

Peanut looked at him without answering.

"Our guy is invincible for all kinds of poisons. He can catch that poisonous bird when he goes up." said the fat man.

"Hmph." Master Shui smiled, "No one knows the surname of the Bibird. I don't know what you have to protect yourself, but if you startle them, we will all be done."

Hearing this, Peanut smiled, "Don't worry, there should be nothing alive on it."

Master Shui's face changed slightly, and he looked at the peanuts up and down. At this time, Qin Feng said, "It seems that there is no movement now, but we also heard the sound of flapping our wings just now. Peanuts, you should be careful."

Peanut pointed to the ground and said, "There are almost 80 big eagles here. They have to accommodate so many eagles. The space above is definitely not just what we see. This is not a thief hole that is completely chiseled by people. I suspect there are still some passages above that we cannot see."

"Hey." Master Shui waved his hand, "You said you might have a surname, but we don't need to take that risk. Who knows where the above is, and even if you find it, you can pass it, and no one else can get up. It's a waste of time, so let's continue to move forward."

Unexpectedly, Master Shui proposed so many insights at this time, and it seems that he is indeed experienced.

However, I agree with Peanuts more. So many eagles died on the head, and they all died of poison. We must not ignore the situation above. If there is really a passage for birds to enter and exit freely, we can only walk forward with our heads tilted and beware of our heads at all times.

After Mr. Shui said these words, before we could raise any objections, he walked to the pile of eagles' corpses and pulled out a large pocket from his equipment bag.

Just as we were wondering what he was going to do, Master Shui stretched out his hand and lifted up an eagle covered in poison, and put it in his pocket.

"Hey, you're dead!" I shouted immediately.

My father reached out to stop me, and Master Shui also smiled confidently and looked back at us.

The mine lamps in the big guy's hands were all shining on his hands, and Master Shui quickly stuffed the corpses of the eagles into the bag. Soon I saw purple marks appearing on his arms, as if all the poisons were penetrated into his blood vessels and continued to spread upwards.

"Master, what are the abilities of this person?" Erlangzi asked his father in a low voice.

The matter has to start with the name of Master Shui. The reason why he is called Master Shui is because the blood in this person's body is different from that of ordinary people. It is said that his blood is colorless and transparent just like water. When he was young, Master Shui himself didn't know what strange things he had. It was not until he went back to the mountains to collect herbs and bites the poisonous snake behind the tree that he discovered something strange.

What's going on?

Because after the poisonous snake bit Mr. Shui, Mr. Shui was not only fine at all, but also in a blink of an eye, the poisonous snake died by itself. Later, Mr. Shui discovered that the blood that looked like water on his body was actually hidden and the other venom came in had no effect on him at all. It can be said that this person is truly invincible to all poisons.

However, he did not use this advantage in a good place, but instead became a master of poison in the Tao. Many tomb robbers looked for him because as long as there was Master Shui, it would be very easy to deal with the corpse gas or poison gas in the ancient tomb.

After listening to it, I thought to myself, no wonder even my dad was very polite to this person. It turned out to be a poisonous scorpion. Damn, if you want to get such a person, you will suddenly give you some tricks. We may not even know how we die.

When I looked over again, the corpses of the eagles on the ground were stuffed into my pockets. At the same time, the purple poison gland had spread to Master Shui's face. Under the light, his face was so cautious.

After being full, we saw a hole with a bamboo tube inserted under the pocket, and we didn't know what it was for. Then, Master Shui took out a bottle wrapped in leather and stuffed the bottle into the bamboo tube. When everyone was wondering, Master Shui suddenly hugged the big pocket and began to squeeze hard.

"What is he doing?" I asked.

"Take poison." Peanut whispered.

Then I realized that the price of poison on the black market is very expensive. It is said that a few milliliters of poison can be bought for tens of thousands. This thing is used to deal with its own enemies, which is really amazing. People like Shui Ye who make a living by poison are happier to see these than to see gold.

After pressing it a few times, Master Shui dripped a few drops of black liquid into the bag, which was unknown. Soon, we heard the sound of water dripping from the leather bottle. After doing this, the pocket was reduced by three-quarters of the volume.

Master Shui put away the bottle and put his pocket in front of Tuheti, "Old man, the Condor Hero can now leave it to you for treatment. Haha, don't worry, it's okay."

Tuheti looked at Master Shui with some fear, then took the bag. After wrapping it in the stuff, Tuheti tied his pocket to his waist, muttering something with tears on his face.

My father waved, "Stay going."

In the end, Peanut didn't go up to check the situation. In my opinion, Peanut didn't actually care about the dangers above, he probably just wanted to avoid more trouble.

Then, Master Shui and Brother Jiu walked to the front of the team. Master Shui's actions just now made the fat man be wary of these two people and turned around and walked in front of me.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the road began to become spacious. There were more and more traces of manual digging. Even on the stone wall, we saw some hooks used to hang oil lamps in ancient times. The hooks were ring-shaped and had rusted, but the patterns carved on them could still be seen.

"Master Yuan, these hooks have thunder patterns. It seems to be something ordinary. Can you tell when it came from?" The fat man said at a hook.

My father walked over and looked carefully. The more he looked, the more he looked, the more he looked, the more serious the expression on his face became. "Hiss... it was a bit like something from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, but it was different. I have never seen such thunder patterns before."

"Like? That should be something from the Western Zhou Dynasty." The fat man didn't care about the details, "Brother, the Fantasy Snow Forbidden City may really belong to the Western Zhou Dynasty."

My father shook his head, "You can't be so sure." My father's reason was that the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss was something from the Spring and Autumn Period. Since it was hidden in the Huanxue Forbidden City, the ancient tomb should have been available after the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"But this is also very strange." My father continued, "You can tell at a glance that this corridor was dug by a tomb robber, but the copper rings on the wall seemed to be royal artifacts, so this situation is difficult to explain."

Boss Sun, who had not said anything, suddenly said, "Maybe the tomb robber entered a certain ancient tomb. When he came out, he found that the road was blocked, so he borrowed the things from the ancient tomb and then dug such a hole."

When we heard this, we couldn't help but nod.

The fat man was already ready to whip his hands, "Okay, everyone, let's go inside quickly. The treasures of the Zhou Dynasty must be waiting in a hurry."

Everyone smiled and continued to move forward. Looking back, I saw that Tuheti's face was a little gloomy and his old face was covered with sweat.

"Old man, are you okay?" I asked while walking, wondering if the eagle's body was too heavy.

"Oh, it's okay, I just feel sorry for these eagles." Tuheti said, wiping his sweat, but after a layer of sweat passed, another layer immediately emerged.

It is really difficult for a person in his sixties or seventies to do it, but who told him to do this business? Meeting a master like us can only be considered unlucky. I didn't say anything else and continued to follow the fat man.

Not far this time, the Ninth Brother in front suddenly shouted at the back.

"Huh? There is a side room here."

Side room? I was stunned and thought to myself, why did the side room appear in the thief hole? Everyone rushed to the front and saw that, sure enough, on the stone wall on our left, there was a four or five-meter-wide door open. The road was not over yet, so this was only a side room.

Before everyone could look inside, the fat man walked in with the mine lamp. When the lights shone, the fat man suddenly screamed "Wow" and was shocked to something and retreated.

"What's your name?" Qin Feng caught him.

The fat man's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and then he shone the light in. The light of the mine lamp shook for a while, but we didn't see anything clearly. I only saw that the walls on both sides were very uneven, as if there were something piled up.

Everyone then looked in. When we saw that we all gasped. We saw that the walls on both sides of the room were covered with human skulls. The skulls were all mud-colored, and they couldn't tell at first glance. The strangest thing was that the skulls seemed to be growing on stone walls, and the two ends of each skull were closely matched with the stone walls.

Not long after, Peanut took us in. When we saw it up close, the scene made people even more frightened. Peanut stepped forward and observed it carefully for a while, but suddenly laughed.

"It's pretty good to carve." Peanut said.

"Carved?" I stepped forward and looked at it again, and then I saw something strange. It turned out that these skulls were really carved on the wall, but they were too realistic. Who is so terrible?

The fat man couldn't help but turn around and ask Tohti, "Old man, do you have any special customs and habits here? Have you seen such things before?"

I saw that when the fat man asked, Tuheti was still standing outside. He seemed to have something to worry about, and the expression on his face seemed to be even more panicked than before.

"No, I haven't seen it before." Tuheti whispered to the fat man, then turned his face aside.

I was wondering what happened to him, but the few people behind me suddenly got upset.

"Double, dead, dead." Boss Sun shouted.

I immediately turned around and chased into the side room.

The entire side room should be built using a natural cave. There is a six-sided stone platform that is more than a millet taller than the millet inside the side room. The stone platform is polished very smoothly and has a completely different texture from the rocks in the cave. It should have been moved in from outside.

Everyone stood beside the stone platform, in the light, we saw several skeletons appearing around the stone platform. Every inch of their bones was dried up, and they were wading or leaning against each other, just surrounding the stone platform.

This kind of dead people is no longer attractive to us. What makes us more concerned is that their positions are very uniform, and it seems that they are deliberately sitting next to the stone platform according to certain rules and waiting for death.

Because there is nothing else around, it is difficult for us to judge when these dead people appeared. But just looking at the bones, my father speculated that they had been lying here for at least hundreds of years.

"Is this the one who dug the hole?" said the fat man.

No one answered him, everyone was just observing these skeletons quietly. Through the physical movements of these dead people, I felt that they should have died peacefully, or that they had fainted before they died, and there was no trace of pain or struggle left behind.

Qin Feng and Erlangzi checked, but no one found that these people had fatal injuries. Master Shui was sure that they were not poisoned and died.

While everyone was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Boss Sun whispering, as if counting.

“One, two, three, four…”

"Boss Sun, what are you counting?" I asked.

Boss Sun smiled stiffly and said, "It's a coincidence that there are nine of us in total, and there are nine corpses lying there."

After he said this, many people around him were stunned and couldn't help but look at Boss Sun, then looked back and seemed to count.

"Ye, they are really nine skeletons." said the fat man.

"What's so strange about this? It must be a coincidence." Qin Feng didn't care.

"This is called not letting go of any clues. What do you know?" The fat man replied.

Qin Feng expressed disdain for the fat man's words, "If even this is strange, it must be that we see our own corpse. I guess only you can meet this kind of blessing."

Qin Feng finished speaking carelessly, but he had no feelings at all. But his words touched a bad feeling in our minds, and suddenly, everyone stopped talking.

Suddenly I felt that the larger skeleton lying on the ground looked a bit like a fat man, and the thinner one next to me looked like Boss Sun.

Boss Sun seemed to be thinking about the same problem. For some reason, we looked at each other and then both sides shivered.

At this critical moment, we suddenly heard Tuheti behind us start singing something in local dialect.

"Hey, old man, you're in a good mood. Can you give Fat Master a rock song?" Fatty shouted dissatisfied...

But after he finished speaking, Mr. Tuheti did not react at all. We saw that he was standing at the door of the side room with his back to us, with his hands doing something in front of him.

All of a sudden, everyone felt something was wrong.
To be continued...
