Peach Blossom Shadow
The Peach Blossom Miasma spurted out with a roar like the eruption of an earthly spring. Xie Bangui took advantage of the miasma to take a deep breath and stored it in his chest. He immediately stopped breathing, covered his face with his hands and squatted down with his eyes closed.
Before he could stabilize his body, the peach blossom miasma, which was as fast as a torrent, had already flowed over his body. Xie Bangui felt as if he had been poured cold water from front to back, and the skin all over his body suddenly tightened involuntarily.
Tightly, he instinctively hugged his shoulders with his arms and buried his head in his chest, trying to maintain the body temperature as much as possible. His whole body was like a stone squatting in the middle of the miasma.
The entire tomb passage also became filled with mist. The poisonous insects that had no time to escape fell from the sky like heavy rain and hailstones, covering the bodies of Xie Bangui and others in sheets. It didn't take long for the poisonous insects' corpses to fall.
It’s accumulated to the point where I’m thankful to Bangui’s knees.
Although Xie Bangui didn't dare to open his eyes, he could feel that the peach blossom miasma sprayed by him seemed to have no harm to the human body, but was fatal to poisonous insects. Countless thoughts were also whirling in Xie Bangui's head, and he really couldn't figure it out.
Why does the peach blossom miasma, which is supposed to be a trap in the tomb, only target poisonous insects instead of uninvited guests like them?
Suddenly, a suffocating danger suddenly struck.
Xie Bangui only felt a giant creature swimming silently in front of him. He instinctively wanted to open his eyes, but a trace of miasma seeped into his eyelids. His eyeballs were in burning pain, and he had no choice but to close them again.
However, Xie Bangui took a quick glance and saw a several-foot-long snake Nobuko, which had stretched out less than half a foot away from him. It was trembling and stopped in the air, as if it was choosing a target to attack.
Xie Bangui hurriedly used his internal strength to suppress his heartbeat, and the temperature of his body suddenly dropped. He instantly merged with the surrounding things. If he didn't observe it with the naked eye, he could almost be regarded as a lifeless stone.
Xie Bangui wanted to deceive the monster, but the other party had no intention of letting Xie Bangui off easily. The hesitating snake Xinzi had already touched Xie Bangui's palm that was protecting his head. Xie Bangui only felt
The back of the hand seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and warm blood dripped out along the wound.
Snake Xinzi, who was still trembling just now, stopped on the back of his hand against his wound.
"Whoosh!" The blood-stained snake Nobuko withdrew from Xie Bangui's hand. After swallowing the monster's mouth twice, the pressure shrouded in front of Xie Bangui suddenly shifted to the left. Then, Xie Bangui
He felt a cold snake body covered with scales swam past the left side of his body.
Everything happened in an instant, and without even giving Xie Bangui time to react, the monster in Peach Blossom Miasma gave up on Xie Bangui and swam elsewhere.
"puff……"
"puff--"
Before Xie Bangui could take a breath, two muffled sounds came from behind him. The first sound should be the sound of something sharp grabbing the armor and penetrating the human body. The second sound was the sound of someone approaching.
A mouthful of blood came out before he died.
Xie Bangui's heart tightened as two more identical voices rang out in no particular order.
Xie Bangui moved, but he couldn't move. He could ignore the life and death of the Tang Clan, and he could ignore the life and death of the Zheng family's Vulcan Guards, but what about Fatty, Lao Qian, and Mei Xin'er?
As Xie Bangui leaned forward, put on his Soul-Destroying Claw and prepared for a life-and-death fight, a strong wind with the smell of blood rushed past him, giving him the chill of being poured over his body by cold water.
, once again passed Xie Bangui's body from back to front - that was the sign that the Peach Blossom Miasma was shrinking.
When Xie Bangui opened his eyes, the peach blossom miasma in the tomb passage had completely disappeared. Something had dug a deep groove several feet wide on the insect corpses piled on the ground, and dazzling blood stains followed it.
This ravine drops to the depths of the tomb passage.
Xie Bangui said quickly: "Fat man, old money, girl...are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay..." Fatty spoke first, and Lao Qian followed suit. Only Mei Xin'er remained silent.
"Girl...Girl...fire discount..." Xie Bangui said in an off-key voice as he grabbed the fire discount.
Not far away, Mei Xin'er's voice came: "I'm here!"
Xie Bangui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mei Xin'er was safe, and then said angrily: "It's okay, why didn't you speak earlier!"
"I was...just...so scared that I couldn't say anything!" Mei Xin'er lowered her head and did not dare to look at Xie Bangui's face.
Xie Bangui said softly in his heart: "Speak up earlier next time, and don't scare people like this if it's okay."
"Yes!" Mei Xin'er lowered her head and agreed.
Xie Bangui held up the fire folding bag and turned around, but he didn't notice that the corner of Mei Xin'er's mouth was smiling like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.
Xie Bangui squatted next to the blood stains holding the fire fold, and he still said the instructions: "The blood spurted out from the stomach and mouth, those two people should have folded..." Old Qian, count the number of people, look.
Who are you missing?"
"Two Vulcan Guards are missing!" Old Qian said with a livid face: "What was that thing that came over just now? Was it a snake?"
"Probably not!" Xie Bangui pointed to the claw marks on the ground and said: "That thing has claws. Judging from the blood stains and minced meat on the ground, the two brothers were gutted by it with its claws. Snakes don't do that.
.Follow me and have a look."
Xie Bangui followed the blood trail all the way down. The blood trail stretched intermittently to the edge of an underground river before disappearing. It looked like the two people were dragged into the water by a monster.
Xie Bangui, who was focusing all his attention on the river, suddenly heard Mei Xin'er shouting: "There is a boat over there!"
"Ship?" Xie Bangui looked in the direction of her finger.
Not only were there five or six small boats docked by the river, but there was even a small man-made pier with oars, anchors, ropes, and torches. Not far away, there was a cowhide raft flipped upside down on the edge of the pier.
Xie Bangui walked closer and observed carefully: "These ferries are well maintained. They should be the result of long-term use. It seems that people often come in and out of the Tang Clan Ancestral Tombs! If I am not mistaken, the underground river in front of us
It should be the key to entering the ancestral mausoleum. Let’s take a boat and have a look down there.”
"That's fine!" Lao Qian directed the Vulcan Guards to maneuver the boat along the inland river and approached a dark cave. There were strong winds in the cave, and a smell of corpses rushed towards him. Lao Qian frowned and said, "This cave is a bit evil!"
"Many people must have died in this cave."
Xie Bangui's guess was not wrong at all. Not far after they entered the cave, they saw a mountain of corpses in the cave. There was mud made of carrion everywhere. The corpses of different shapes were hideous and terrifying. The cold wind swirled around the mountain of corpses and was bone-chilling.
Lao Qian suddenly said: "Look at these corpses, they seem to have been bitten by something!"
Sure enough, several recently deceased corpses were randomly discarded on the river bank. Their abdominal cavities were torn open and their internal organs had been hollowed out. The corpses were covered with claw marks, as if they were pushed to the ground and most of them were eaten alive.
