Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Chapter 119: Living people die as sacrifices to toads to catch the mountain god

A blue light represents a dead body.

If this assumption holds.

The number of dead floats may be a desperate number.

At this moment, standing on the bamboo raft, everyone looked up and saw the dim light flickering in the underground lake, like a sea of ​​fire.

And this is only the range that can be seen.

So far, they don't even know how big the lake beneath them is.

Predictably, what you can see is just the tip of the iceberg.

Most of it is still shrouded in fog.

The most terrifying thing is.

Those dead bodies had been soaked at the bottom of the lake for who knows how many years, but there was no sign of decay at all.

His facial features are vivid and his eyes are closed.

There was even a weird smile on his lips.

It seemed like he would open his eyes and come alive at any moment.

"Death sacrifice?"

An idea appeared in everyone's mind.

Apart from this, they could not think of the second possibility.

But...how many people must be killed to complete such an amazing sacrifice?

"What the hell, whoever comes here is not good and will strike first."

Seeing that the splashing sound at the bottom of the lake showed no sign of stopping.

More and more female corpses floated up.

From far to near.

There is even a faint tendency to surround the bamboo raft.

Everyone took off their long knives and held their spears tightly.

Staring at the female body that was slowly floating with the water.

Even though I'm in the business of fighting, I've seen more dead bodies than an average person would cross in a lifetime.

But there are also many taboos in this industry.

A red-clothed evil spirit and a smiling female corpse.

These are the greatest evils among all evils, evil things that cannot be suppressed no matter how hard the horoscope is.

Not only those guys, but also Partridge Whistle and others felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

In normal fights, there are traces of corpses and bones.

Not like this time.

It came so quietly.

Something so weird must be evil.

Partridge Whistle pressed the twenty-ring mirror box on his waist with his backhand, a murderous look between his brows.

I noticed the movement on my senior brother.

Hua Ling and the old foreigner looked at each other and their movements were not slow.

One picked up the Qinchuan Bow.

One slowly opened the umbrella.

"Do it!"

The partridge whistled and shouted.

Three simple words.

But it seemed that there was a thunder in the hearts of Hua Ling and the old foreigner.

At the same time, the twenty-ring mirror box on his waist has appeared in his hand, his eyes are full of murderous intent, and his whole body is even more indescribable.

only……

None of the three senior brothers and sisters expected this.

In the blink of an eye.

The floating female corpse outside the bamboo raft disappeared without a trace. Looking underwater again, the faint blue light was like a blown out candle, disappearing into nothingness in an instant.

"How...how could this happen?"

Partridge Whistle frowned, with a look of disbelief on his face.

In all his years of traveling around the world, this is the first time he has seen such a strange thing.

The arrival is bizarre and the departure is bizarre.

But even a drop of rain cannot evaporate out of thin air, and there is still moisture left behind.

Rather...

Such a strange scene happened so vividly before his eyes.

A pair of eyes swept across.

Unfortunately, there is still silence under the water.

There was no trace of the female corpse.

"List……"

Subconsciously, Partridge Whistle turned to look at the other bamboo raft.

In his opinion, Chen Yulou's strength is several times better than his own.

Also born with night eyes.

No matter how absurd and bizarre things are, they cannot escape his eyes.

However, the sentence has not been finished yet.

Chen Yulou, who had his back turned to everyone and was staring at the lake, seemed to have noticed something.

A shadow floated in his eyes.

next moment.

A cold drink exploded in the ears of dozens of people on several bamboo rafts.

"Come ashore!"

"Wha...what?"

"Shore, where did the shore come from?"

The thieves, who were still immersed in the huge shock, looked hesitant and full of disbelief.

The bamboo raft is still floating in the lake.

I don’t know how far away I am from the stone beach on the lakeshore where I came from.

Do you want to turn back?

Chen Yulou, who was at the bow of the ship, had already turned around.

A pair of eyes like a hawk, showing an indescribable edge.

Under everyone's doubtful eyes, he didn't explain much. He just pulled off the wind lantern hanging on the broken bamboo on the bow of the boat and threw it outwards with all his strength.

wow-

The wind lantern passed through the vast black fog around him, like a falling star.

But it was completely different from what he expected when he fell into the water.

Within a moment, there was a crackling sound from inside the lamp, as if it had hit a reef or a cliff by the lake.

The wind lamp was broken, the oil lamp was scattered, large and small, and clusters of flames were all over the ground.

In the uncertain light and darkness of the fire.

A black shadow shaped like a mountain gradually emerged.

"Island in the lake?"

"No, it doesn't look like it. Could it be a ghost ship?"

"Why do I feel like a monster?"

Everyone on the boat was stunned.

The fog in the lake was so heavy that no one noticed the black shadow even though it was only ten or twenty meters away.

At this moment, with the dim light, it stood so quietly in the water.

Only a faint outline can be seen.

There were also thin shadows hanging down, going deep into the water. They looked like an old dragon lying on the water, staring at them with open teeth and claws.

That black shadow is really weird.

Everyone can't even imagine what it is?

Even though he was a partridge whistle, he also had a look of astonishment on his face.

Even before crossing the lake, he had already thought about making a change, but now, he felt powerless that everything was completely beyond his expectation and control.

Can't even see what's going on.

"Hong Gu is following me."

"Brother Taoist, Kunlun, please escort the bamboo raft to the shore."

Everyone was still hesitating.

Chen Yulou's voice sounded again.

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

The red girl in a long skirt didn't hesitate at all.

I stepped hard on the head of the raft with my toes, and the bamboo raft beneath me sank almost an inch into the water, causing countless splashes.

And she also jumped up using the force of the counter-shock.

The rabbit rises and the falcon falls.

The figure is astonishingly powerful.

Seeing this scene, the group of thieves screamed in surprise.

But Chen Yulou didn't even look at it, he just took out the pennies from the hand of the waiter next to him.

It seems that the time has been calculated long ago.

Penny is worth giving away.

The red skirt floated down in mid-air, and a pair of exquisite toes landed lightly on the bamboo pole.

"go!"

Feel the heavy strength coming from the palm.

Chen Yulou's expression did not change at all.

The slender figure curved slightly, and a terrifying force started from the heels, traveled to the waist, ran through the arms, and then exploded in the palms of the hands.

In a low voice.

The straight bamboo pole in his hand was like a big bow, lifting up the red girl.

brush--

This time, the figure in the red dress shot through the air like an arrow from a string.

"Senior brother?"

This scene happened so fast that the usually calm old foreigner's eyes widened.

Somewhat at a loss.

"Listen to Brother Chen and don't mess around."

Partridge Whistle secretly let out a foul breath.

The confusion in his eyes has been replaced by perseverance again.

He was reminded in a low voice.

"Yes."

The old foreigner nodded.

Subconsciously, he clenched Qinchuan's bow.

While the two were talking, the figure in the red dress had passed through the mist on the lake and landed on the black shadow.

Jump over on the spot.

Remove all the energy from your body.

When she stood up, the red girl shook her long sleeves, and the two hidden swords that shone with cold light fell from her hands. But when she looked down with a pair of clear eyes.

Only then did he realize that the black shadow beneath him was clearly a dead tree rather than a ghost ship or a water monster.

Falling shadows all around.

They are branches that extend and fall from the ancient trees.

only……

This ancient tree is really big and scary.

It was several times larger than the banyan tree I had seen in Worm Valley before.

Tilt and half-fallen in the water.

There is almost no difference from an island in the water.

"Shopkeeper, come quickly, it's safe here."

Don't hesitate.

The red girl concentrated her attention, turned back and shouted softly in the direction she came from.

"it is good!"

What Chen Yulou was waiting for was her words.

Why would you still hesitate?

At this moment, the blue will-o'-the-wisp on the lake has changed again.

Not just disappear into thin air.

It's more like being pulled by something invisible.

It continued to float along the lake to the left. After a while, the palm-sized lake to the left of everyone was densely packed with female corpses.

A cursory sweep.

There are at least hundreds of them.

It is similar to the female corpse from before, wearing a plain white shirt.

You can still vaguely see the pale and bloodless faces.

Most of them are naked.

The female corpses gradually gathered.

Finally, it floats to the connection between the underground lake and the cliff.

There seemed to be a faint cave entrance there.

At this moment, smoke as bright as blood was rising outside.

Because they are far apart.

Plus the fog is deep.

The thieves on board could not see clearly.

But every time the red mist flickered, a large number of female corpses disappeared.

It's like...being swallowed up by a cave.

Seeing this scene, the thieves, who had always liked to talk a lot, were unusually uninterested.

Instead, there was only a feeling like falling into an ice cave, with cold sweat pouring down my forehead.

You can even hear their heartbeats pounding under their chests.

Only Hua Ling is young.

It’s a girl again.

Suddenly seeing so many naked female corpses, my cheeks turned red and I lowered my head, not daring to look any further.

"Wait, Hongwu..."

Partridge Whistle's heart moved.

The messy thoughts in my mind seemed to be sorted out in an instant.

He thought of the red fog mark on the human skin map.

When passing through Worm Valley that day.

He also asked Chen Yulou specifically.

However, the latter seems unclear, only that it may be something like the Bug Valley Fog Barrier.

Now I can see red smoke puffing out from the entrance of the cave.

He finally came to his senses.

It turns out that the red mist on the map refers to it.

but……

He didn't have time to think too much.

Chen Yulou, who had already communicated with Miss Hong, took back his pennant, inserted it into the end of the bamboo raft, and then bent down hard.

hum!

Penny was instantly folded into a crossbow.

As the buzzing sound gradually increased, an astonishing momentum was also building up in the bamboo pole.

Wait for that momentum to accumulate to the extreme.

Chen Yulou suddenly let go and took advantage of the situation to rush out.

Looking from a distance, the whole person seems to be walking on the water on the lake.

The water of ten to twenty meters passed by in one breath like a flying bird crossing the water, without any stagnation in its body.

The gang of thieves looked at this scene in amazement, feeling that the shop owner Lan Yanwei's lightening skills were becoming more and more powerful.

Only Partridge Whistle faintly noticed something.

But I didn't see what kind of Taoism it was?

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yulou used his magic to climb over the ancient tree and landed lightly next to Miss Hong.

"The shopkeeper..."

Miss Hong was looking at the deep cave under the cliff not far away.

Suddenly he heard the sound of breaking through the air behind him, and subconsciously turned around. When he saw it was him, the vigilance in his eyes dissipated.

"Well, I'll keep watch here. You go and call them over."

Chen Yulou nodded.

He had discovered this place when he crossed the lake before.

The reason why people came ashore was naturally because of the undead insects under the cave at the bottom of the cliff.

And this fossil tree happened to fall on the lake, connecting with the entrance of the cave.

Definitely the best place to stay.

"Okay, shopkeeper, I'll go right away."

There was no hesitation.

The red girl turned around and walked to the other side of the tree.

Even though she had been up there for a while, she still couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unreality as she walked past.

How could there be such a big tree in this world?

Still fell into the lake.

She couldn't even imagine how many people would have to surround her and hug her while she was still alive.

Wait for the red girl to leave.

Chen Yulou glanced around and saw that there was no longer any cover, and the green light was floating in his eyes at night.

In an instant.

The thick fog in front of me seemed to have dispersed.

The line of sight extends further.

He did not stop, but continued to approach the red mist-filled hole in the distance along the tree trunk.

Until seven or eight meters away.

Chen Yulou just stopped.

At this moment, there were fewer and fewer female corpses floating on the water below him, but the red mist puffing in the cave became more vivid, as scarlet as blood, and looked extremely penetrating.

Others stood quietly in the black mist.

The breath is weak.

It seems to have become one with the fossilized tree beneath him.

If you don't look carefully, you can hardly notice his presence.

Chen Yulou could not help but frown slightly as he watched female corpses being swallowed up by the hole.

Start by rafting down to the lake.

He was thinking about a question.

How can we fish out the undead insects in the cave?

That thing is almost immortal, but it's not a monster yet.

Otherwise, fishing with the help of a ray of green wood aura will definitely be a success.

"It is definitely impossible to take a detour. Not to mention the jade toad in its body, as well as the Kunlun fetus born from heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in it is unimaginable."

In the mist.

Chen Yulou seemed to be talking to himself.

The jade toad is the key to the entire King Xian Feng Shui array.

And the Kunlun fetus in his mouth is the jade fetus in the copper box.

In the original work, Hu Bayi and the others are unrecognizable.

But he couldn't hide it.

The Kunlun fetus is also called the earth-born fetus. It condenses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it takes tens of thousands of years to develop one.

In Feng Shui, the place where the Kunlun fetus was born is the Tianding Treasure Cave.

It is a spiritual creature that can be encountered but not sought.

It is said that throughout the ages, only the remains of the Yellow Emperor who ascended on a dragon were buried in Kunlun's fetal position, which is Qiaoshan.

dong dong dong-

He was still pondering.

There was already a sound of dense footsteps coming from behind.

"Brother Chen..."

Before they even got close, the muffled sound of the partridge whistle sounded.

Chen Yulou breathed out, turned around and was about to speak, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by the thing he was holding in his hand.

It was a toad as big as a bull's head.

"Where did this... come from?"

The toad was not dead yet, he was tied up with a corpse rope and held upside down in his hands.

"Under the lake, it's everywhere."

Partridge Whistle was just a casual hunter, and I wanted to let him take a look and ask if anything would happen.

But at the moment.

When Chen Yulou saw the toad, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

Before King Xian and his party came to Zhelong Mountain.

Another group of Yi people have lived here for generations.

They regard the undead insects in the strange bottom cave as mountain gods.

Every time there is a sacrifice, toads will be caught from the lake, picked up with bamboo poles and sent into the cave.

only……

I was disturbed by those weird female corpses just now.

Thoughts are cluttered.

I really didn't expect it.

At this moment, a sudden inspiration came to him, and he had an idea in an instant.

"Good stuff, Brother Tao."

"Did you see the entrance of the cave? There is something there...a big monster is dormant."

"Next, use it to fish out the big monster!"
