Chapter 16: Corpse Dragon (Part 1)
The Qing brothers in the second passage were trapped under the wall by many corpse dragons. The corpse dragons did not attack them in groups, but rushed to tear them apart, but surrounded the two of them and roared in turn.
Tang Qianlin and Li Qingxiang rushed forward, but suddenly stopped because the giant dragon standing behind the corpse dragon suddenly turned around and roared at them, as if warning them not to get close.
Qingquan and Qingyu were both injured. Qingquan covered his wounds, his hands holding guns were trembling, and fear was on both sides of their faces.
Tang Qianlin shouted: Qingyu, return the night pearls you took from under the altar before to them. They are the eggs of the corpse dragon!
Qingyu was stunned: Egg? What egg?
Tang Qianlin had to explain again: It is the kind of night pearl you think, that is the eggs of these corpse dragons! Hurry up! Otherwise we all have to die here!
Qingquan turned his head and looked at Qingyu: What the hell did you take?
Qingyu quickly pulled out a night pearl from his backpack and acted as if he was about to throw it away. Tang Qianlin quickly stopped it: Don’t throw it away, what should I do if it breaks! Be careful, put it on the ground and let them take it away by themselves!
Qingyu looked at the corpse-dissolving dragon in front of him, put the egg on the ground tremblingly, and then retreated.
One of the corpse-dissolving dragons came forward and smelled it. They carefully held it in their mouths. They turned around and came to the dragon, put the egg in front of it. The corpse-dissolving dragon smelled it and whistled again. It seemed that it had received some order, and trotted away with the egg in his mouth.
Seeing this, Tang Qianlin said: There is another one, hurry up, just like before.
Qingyu took out another one from his backpack, leaned over and lie forward like he had just now, and placed the egg in front of one of the corpse-dissolving dragons.
Tang Qianlin whispered to Li Qingxiang: Let's go, let's go slowly.
Tang Qianlin and Li Qingxiang approached the cave wall on the right and approached the Qing brothers.
The dragon and the other corpse-dissolving dragons did not immediately go away the egg, but instead looked at the two of them with vigilant eyes.
Tang Qianlin and Li Qingxiang came to the Qing brothers. Tang Qianlin pointed to the egg on the ground and said: We have returned your things, and we will leave here immediately. From now on, the well water will not interfere with the river and will never come again.
The corpse-dissolving dragons did not respond, and Qingyu whispered with a sad face: Big brother, can they understand?
Tang Qianlin shook his head slightly, but Li Qingxiang did not miss this opportunity and said sarcastically: The IQ of these things is higher than yours!
Strangely, the corpse-dissolving dragons did not step forward at this time, but just stared at the egg on the ground.
Qingquan asked in wonder: What's going on? What's wrong with them? Why didn't you take this egg away?
Tang Qianlin squatted down and looked at the egg carefully: There are cracks on the egg, Qingyu, have your backpack bumped into it?
Qingyu was scared: I don’t know, I don’t remember it, probably, maybe, I don’t remember it.
Li Qingxiang frowned and said: Qingyu, why don’t you sacrifice yourself and exchange your life for an egg, and maybe you can save the three of us.
Li Qingxiang was obviously a joke, but he annoyed Qingquan. Qingquan immediately said: If you want to exchange your life for another egg, then I will go, you can take my brother out safely!
The egg is not broken, but is about to hatch. Tang Qianlin stared at the egg that was gradually expanding on the ground. Look, something was squirming inside.
When the eggshell gradually cracked, the throats of the corpse-dissolving dragons around them made a gurgling sound. At this time, the dragon slowly stepped forward and approached it and gently touched it with its nose, as if it wanted to help the small corpse-dissolving dragon come out.
Everyone and the corpse-dissolving dragons stared at the little corpse-dissolving dragon that was about to break out of the shell, watching the eggshell cracked and slowly being peeled off by the little claws stretched out. Then the little guy's head slowly stretched out, making a scream like a duck.
Qingyu couldn't help but say: These things are so big when they are born, what kind of things they eat to grow like this?
Li Qingxiang said angrily: What to eat? Eat a mentally retarded person like you!
After the little corpse-repellent dragon hatched out of the eggshell, it shook its body and walked towards the dragon. The dragon opened its mouth slightly, allowing the little corpse-repellent dragon to crawl into its mouth, and then turned around and left.
After the dragon walked away, the corpse dragons surrounding them turned around and left.
The four of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and those who were sitting against the wall and those who were sitting on the ground were almost exhausted.
Life was hanging on the line. Li Qingxiang let out a long sigh. If Old Tang had not discovered it in time, we might have all died.
Tang Qianlin smiled and said: I was a brother before, but now I am old. Master Xiang, you call me that, which is a failure of my life.
Qingquan covered his wound: Two benefactors, let’s leave here as soon as possible.
Li Qingxiang looked at Qingquan and said: Your name has changed? You are quite familiar with the rules. If we go out safely and you two will no longer cause trouble, the grudge between us will be completely settled.
Qingquan quickly said: Thank you two, our brothers knew that they were wrong.
After Qingquan finished speaking, he looked at Qingyu who was still in a daze: Qingyu, why don’t you thank the two benefactors quickly.
Qingyu quickly said: Thank you two benefactors. Your great kindness is unforgettable. In the future, if you have anything to do in the world, just say something. We brothers will go through fire and water and never give up. I wish you all the best and good health.
Tang Qianlin ignored him and had already begun to look for mechanisms to open on the wall.
Li Qingxiang looked at Qingyu like a mentally retarded person. Qingyu was still recalling the memory and saying: I wish my brother a happy family and good luck. I wish my seniors a lifetime and a prosperous journey!
Qingquan slapped Qingyu on the head: Where are you greeting you?
Qingyu stood there stupidly, Li Qingxiang shook his head, walked aside, and helped Tang Qianlin find a mechanism.
Qingquan looked at Qingyu who was still standing there in a daze: Go and help, why are you still standing? Waiting to receive red envelopes?
Qingyu stood behind Tang Qianlin with a sad face.
Tang Qianlin found the mechanism and opened the wall. Qingyu quickly helped Qingquan leave.
When the wall was closed again, Tang Qianlin, who was standing in front of the wall, saw the giant dragon standing far away from the other end of the passage, staring at him.
After a long time, the dragon turned around and left, and the wall closed tightly.
Let's go. Li Qingxiang said, turned around and walked two steps, but found that Tang Qianlin was still standing there.
Li Qingxiang stepped forward and asked: What are you thinking?
Tang Qianlin said: I want to blow up the hole.
Li Qingxiang also agreed: Yes, the secret here cannot be known to the Japanese.
Qingquan quickly said: Benefactor, we have grenades and a bundle of explosives in our bag.
Tang Qianlin opened his backpack, looked around for a while, and shook his head and said: To blow up this cave, these things alone are far from enough.
Li Qingxiang grabbed the rope and said: Let's go up first, it's okay to blow up the hole above.
Tang Qianlin said: There is nothing we can do, so we can only go up first. They gave us three days, and we only used it for one day. There were two days left. We spent a few hours looking for something outside to see if we could seal it up.
Qingquan asked again: Benefactor, how do we explain to the Japanese when we go back?
Tang Qianlin said: I have thought about it, and we said we fought with the monsters here and accidentally blew the cave down. As for the details, I will explain it to you both after I wait.
As he said that, Tang Qianlin grabbed the rope and Li Qingxiang and went up first, while Qingyu tied the rope to Qingquan, and asked the two people who went up first to pull it up, and then slowly climbed back along the rope.
After returning to the kitchen of the Izakaya, Tang Qianlin first told the Qing brothers that he had thought of, so that the two of them could remember it so that they would not let it go when they were back. Then he asked Qingyu to take good care of Qingquan, and he went around with Li Qingxiang to find something that could be used.
After searching for a while, there was no need to find anything that could replace explosives except for combustibles. It is no wonder that among the people, especially in the Japanese-occupied areas, it is impossible to easily find guns, ammunition, explosives.
Li Qingxiang saw the two jars of liquor they found: This is the only thing, why don’t we burn the izakaya?
Tang Qianlin shook his head: Even if the house collapses, the Japanese will find a way to dig it out.
Li Qingxiang asked: Then what are you planning?
Tang Qianlin said: Why did I say half of it and half of it before? The reason is that if it is not true or false, the Japanese will not believe us. Moreover, we have been to such places. On the one hand, we have proved our strength, and on the other hand, we have also seen the secrets that the Japanese do not want to publish. Therefore, the Japanese will not let us go easily. Instead of fighting head-on with them, it is better to use them and find the Shaman Palace.
Li Qingxiang thought for a moment and said: Are you talking about lurking in the Secret Search class? Waiting for an opportunity?
Tang Qianlin nodded and said: Yes, this is the only way at the moment, and it is only in this way that I can save my son. If we refuse to cooperate again, the Japanese will kill us immediately and silence us, or they will put us under house arrest. Once the surveillance is strictly monitored, Oda Jun's affairs will be exposed.
Li Qingxiang frowned and said: It's been so late, you are still worried about that Japanese. If it weren't for him, your son wouldn't have been infected with that kind of bacteria.
Master Xiang, look at this. Tang Qianlin took out the four papers of copying murals hidden. If I read it correctly, this should be a map.
Li Qingxiang looked at Tang Qianlin and pieced together four pieces of paper: it looked like a map, but what was the corresponding place?
Tang Qianlin explained: This kind of map is different from the traditional map. Although he marked the location, we cannot compare and search according to the current map, as it will deviate from the direction, but the characteristics of the next location are drawn on the map.
Li Qingxiang thought for a long time and said: I understand what you mean. You mean that this place where the sacrificial raising is the first place. The next place is marked here. If we find the next place, we can continue to search until we find the entire map to find the Shaman Spirit Palace?
Tang Qianlin nodded and said: That's right. There are some problems now, I haven't figured out yet, so I have to find an expert.
Li Qingxiang asked in wonder: Expert? Who? Where is it?
Tang Qianlin said: This man was once a shaman and later expelled. Although I don’t know him, my senior brother has a friendship with him. I go to ask him for help, maybe he won’t refuse.
Li Qingxiang said: Okay, after we leave, we will go to find him after dealing with the Japanese.
