Knife splashing

Chapter 337: Dangerous Place in the Rain
The waves surged and mist splashed on the lake surface.

The surging waves dispersed, and the surrounding ships suddenly swayed up and down.

All the boats in Baihe Bay are Diaozi boats, which have an arc-shaped bottom, are flexible to operate, can cross shoals smoothly, have a shallow draft and low resistance, and have many advantages.

But at the same time, it is also greatly affected by waves.

The boat shook violently and someone lost his balance and fell into the water.

But no matter whether it was Wang Laobie, Chen Sanye, or Bai Wenghai, none of them could care to pay attention to him at this moment, and they all stared at the opposite side.

The tomb guardian beast moved very quickly. Although it was wrapped by the waves, it dived back into the lake with just one strike, but they also vaguely saw its appearance.

It was a strange giant beast, with a body as long and narrow as a snake, but covered with hair. Although it was covered with green algae, the base color could be seen to be white.

What's even more strange is that there are sharp and long claws extending from around the other party's body, which looks very much like a centipede.

But the head was that of an animal, like some kind of white mink, with blood-red eyes, a huge open mouth, and extremely ferocious fangs.

"What is this?!"

Wang Laobie took a breath of cold air.

Of course he had also seen the tomb guardian beast.

This secret method left by Fang Xiandao either seals the strange beasts with a secret method, like the turtle breathing technique. Once someone breaks in, they will break the seal and fight, and usually they will not survive long.

Or, you can cultivate large groups of exotic beasts to form an ecosystem of mutual restraint, where you eat me and I eat you, and the population continues to multiply.

But no matter which one they are, they are nothing more than ferocious beasts and poisonous insects.

For example, he once encountered a tomb-guarding beast, which was a tiger transformed into a demon corpse to stop tomb robbers.

But the giant beast in front of me had never been heard of before.

It is comparable to the bizarre things in "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

boom!
Before everyone could recover, the giant beast broke out of the water again and bit a small boat and the people on it into pieces.

"Quick, get to the shore!"

Wang Laobie shouted quickly.

They had no advantage in the water, and their only chance was to go ashore and kill the creature.

But at this moment, something surprising happened to him.

A dark shadow swam at the bottom of the lake, heading towards another small boat.

Bai Wenghai saw this and suddenly shouted, "Silang, it's coming for you, hurry up!"

Upon hearing this, a man on the boat immediately opened the backpack behind him and took out an oil-paper bag.

He tore open the oil paper bag, pulled out a piece of fuse, then shielded the rain with his hands, blew on the fire stick and lit it directly.

boom!
At this moment, the tomb guardian beast broke out of the water, bit the boat in half, swallowed the gunpowder bag into its mouth, and then drilled into the bottom of the lake again.

Boom!
A muffled sound came from the bottom of the lake.

Afterwards, large amounts of black water gushed out, and the lake was filled with a foul stench.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone paddled frantically and went ashore.

After reaching the shore, they breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the lake.

I saw something gradually rising from the surface of the lake in the pouring rain. It looked like a long hairy snake, with half of its body exposed and its head and tail submerged in the water, motionless.

"died?"

Bai Laobei swallowed his saliva.

This was the first time he had seen such a ferocious tomb guardian beast.

Wow!
At this moment, the giant beast began to twist again, and finally its head slowly emerged from the water.

The head of this thing was like a mink, but extremely ferocious. At this moment, half of its mouth and cheeks had been blown off, and rotten flesh hung from the corners of its mouth, with black blood flowing out, staring at them intently.

It turns out that this thing was just knocked unconscious by the explosion.

"Prepare!"

At Bai Wenghai's command, many of his men immediately took out oil paper bags, blew up fire sticks, and stared at the giant beast in the lake without fear.

It seems that they are going to use the method of destroying both themselves and the enemy.

"Roar!"

The giant beast also seemed to feel threatened. It let out a sharp roar at them, then suddenly turned around, dived into the water, and swam rapidly towards the center of the lake, soon disappearing from sight.

"Frightened away?"

Mr. Chen San looked at Bai Wenghai.

As he spoke, he looked at his men calmly.

He was also full of shock at this moment.

The behemoth is secondary, the key is these people.

Ever since the imperial court's control over gunpowder got out of control, he became fond of this stuff. He not only used it to blow up tombs, but also to kill enemies.

But I never thought of using this method.

After all, no one is a fool who dares to use gunpowder to die together.

This group of people are definitely not bandits!
Bai Wenghai looked at the lake in the distance, his eyes thoughtful, and then said in a deep voice: "He must have run away. Quick, let's take this opportunity to get into the tomb first!"

At the command, the people of Baihe Bay boarded the boats one after another.

Seeing such an impatient look, Master Chen frowned, "Chief Bai, you are too impatient, what if there is something inside..."

"Hahaha."

Bai Wenghai smiled and said, "It's okay. If you are afraid, just stay outside. I will go in and take a look first."

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and went straight onto the boat.

This move of retreating in order to advance is indeed a smart move.

Wang Laobie and Chen Sanye originally planned to send a few people into the tomb first to make some arrangements, and then they would go in and find a chance to hide.

This method is a common trick used by tomb robbers.

Sometimes when they enter a large tomb and find other people there, they will fake their own death and hide in the dark, pretending to be a ghost and killing the others.

Or wait for others to eliminate the organs and they eat ready-made ones.

This trick is called "ghost covering your eyes".

But no one expected that Bai Wenghai would be so unconventional and directly take everyone into the tomb.

Even the old men, women and children looked excited, as if they were afraid that the treasures inside would be stolen.

Motherfucker!
Wang Laobie and Chen Sanye both cursed inwardly.

The people they brought with them were all skilled, but at this moment they really didn't dare to confront these lunatics.

No matter how good your kung fu skills are, you can't withstand this explosive.

Master Chen San felt mixed emotions.

They used explosives to kill a master once, but they didn't expect that ordinary people would use this thing next time.

Even the terrifying tomb guardian beast was scared away.

This thing called gunpowder has indeed changed the world of martial arts.

Thinking of this, the two of them also boarded the ship with their men.

Of course, they were still relatively cautious. They each left two people on the boat to meet them, and the rest jumped into the lake and entered the already opened tomb passage...

…………

In the distant forest, Li Yan and Lu San showed their heads.

They saw everything that just happened.

"Brother Yan, it should be that thing!"

Lu San looked at the lake in the distance, his eyes full of surprise. It was also the first time he had seen such a strange beast.

"The centipede is a large beast, similar to a fox, a hundred feet long..."

Li Yan shook his head and said, "Guo Pu's words are a bit exaggerated, but they are almost correct. This should be it."

"According to the time, it should be the descendants of Master Tu who dug up the silt in the lake, awakened the creature, and then bit the Maitreya followers to death."

Alligators are very weak and a little stupid when they are young, so they often dig holes in rivers to hide from their natural enemies.

Looking at the people on the lake in the distance, Lu San shook his head and said, "It's not easy to deal with the centipede in the water, and if it makes a lot of noise, it will inevitably alert those people."

Li Yan pondered for a moment, "These Maitreya believers are all crazy, carrying explosives to seek death. We should not confront them head-on."

"With such a large army, and the 'Centipede' as the tomb guardian, this tomb is not simple, it must be related to the Xuanmen."

"It's probably quite dangerous in there, so let's just sit back and wait. You wait here, I'll go collect some centipede flesh and blood." Although an accident occurred, he did not forget the purpose of this trip, which was to help Master Lin find centipede flesh and blood to treat diseases.

This strange beast was more ferocious than he had imagined. It couldn't be killed even after biting a pack of explosives, and it was extremely fast in the water.

Fortunately, this thing's cheek was shattered by the explosion just now.

He just had to fish out a piece of flesh.

After giving some instructions, Li Yan immediately pinched the magic formula, stepped on the Gang and said in a low voice: "Nuo Gao! Tianzhen Taisu, the essence of Ren and Gui. It corresponds to the kidneys inside and Mercury above. I am now accustomed to it, and everything follows my shape..."

Call ~
As he chanted the spell, the wind whistled around him and white mist surged up and enveloped him.

The mist dissipated and Li Yan disappeared.

It's raining heavily right now, which is most suitable for Beidi's Xuanshui Dun.

Water mist rolled down from the mountain and merged with the surrounding environment. Li Yan hid in it. Even when he came to the shore and entered the water, the people on the lake could not see him at all.

Due to the limitations of his cultivation level, Li Yan's Xuanshui Dun was only at the entry level.

Even so, after entering the water, his figure was vague, and the evil aura around his body was intertwined with the water flow. Just by gently swinging his legs, he could rush several meters away.

Even an expert in water is not as fast as him.

Of course, there are also troubles after entering the water.

His magical power requires breathing through the nose, which of course he cannot do in water, so he can only rely on his memory to find the place where the "centipede" was injured just now.

The sky was gloomy and rainy, and the light in the water was not good.

Moreover, the area where the centipede was injured was farther away from the entrance of the underwater tomb and deeper at the bottom of the lake, so it could only be explored bit by bit.

Li Yan occasionally touched broken limbs and arms and threw them aside.

Just when he couldn't hold his breath anymore and was planning to return to the lake, he suddenly caught a furry thing in his hand.

When it was pulled out from the bottom of the lake, it was found to be the cheek flesh of the centipede. It had black and white textures mixed together, the skin was as thick as a palm, and was covered with long white hairs.

It turned out that his entire cheek was blown off.

Li Yan was delighted and swam to the shore with the bag in his hand.

Suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he felt a chill rising up his back...

At the same time, Lu San in the woods on the shore suddenly stood up, widened his eyes, and stared at the lake.

I saw thick water mist rising in the center of the lake at some point and spreading rapidly. No matter how heavy the rain was, it was not affected at all.

Not only that, there were also bits of green light in the mist, floating like ghost lights, becoming more and more, gathering and dispersing with the mist.

Rumble!
The sky seemed to be angered, with thunder and lightning.

The entire lake surface was illuminated by lightning from time to time.

Amidst the flashes of lightning, a dark shadow vaguely appeared in the thick fog.

Look at its appearance,

It’s actually a city!
Lu San felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

The savage Wu Ba next to him was so scared that he lay on the ground, digging up the soil and leaves with his hands and burying his head.

This is their tribal experience.

Although he is a human-goddess, a half-human, half-demon creature.

But in a place like Shennongjia, you will still encounter many incomprehensible, terrible and strange things. The best way is to pretend not to see them.

Many methods of avoiding taboos are based on this principle.

For example, if a mortal is unlucky and encounters a ghost, and can still see it, the best way is to turn a blind eye, let alone look at the ghost.

But Lu San didn't care about these.

He burst into hidden strength, leaped up, jumped out of the forest, and ran towards the lake.

The ghost fog in the lake seemed to be stimulated by something and was spreading towards them rapidly.

Lu San revealed his whereabouts, but the tomb robbers who stayed behind didn't see it at all because they were staring with wide eyes and fear on their faces.

Strange fog, will-o'-the-wisp, city shadows...

Even these mortals can see it.

Before they could react, they were instantly engulfed by thick fog.

And Lu San had already arrived at the water's edge, chanting some magic words, and slapping the water's surface frantically.

The ghostly fog before him gave him the feeling that ghost soldiers were coming out.

He wanted to summon all the fish and shrimp nearby to help Li Yan escape.

However, it was also too late.

The thick white ghost fog quickly rushed to the shore like a tide, but when it was close to the river bank, it retreated rapidly like a tide.

Lu San's face turned gloomy and he stopped.

On the lake, the tomb robbers had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a dozen empty small boats swaying with the waves.

Lu San has the ability of hearing, not just the ability to listen to the language of birds and animals.

He had excellent hearing and could hear the direction where Li Yan was paddling just now, but now it was empty...

"A vicious place!"

Lu San's face was solemn and his brows were furrowed.

Before, on the lake, they heard the Shen family servants talking about the taboos of Liangzi Lake, but neither he nor Li Yan took it to heart.

At most it's a water ghost causing trouble, but you have to kneel if you see them.

But I didn't expect it to be such a dangerous place.

There are two energies, Gang and Sha, flowing between heaven and earth, which can form those blessed places, but can also evolve into evil places.

To put it bluntly, this "evil place" is a kind of situation between heaven and earth. Whether it is formed by nature or due to special acquired reasons, it can be regarded as a kind of creation of heaven and earth.

However, a blessed place is a good place for cultivation, but a dangerous place is fatal!

Li Yan and those people,

I'm afraid they have all been dragged into a dangerous place.

Thinking of this, Lu San became more anxious.

wrong!

Suddenly, he remembered something.

According to what the Shen family servant said, as long as you don't swim to the center of the lake on rainy days, the ghost fog will not attack.

But now, they took the initiative to attack. There must be a reason.

It’s that centipede!
Although the specific reason is unclear, Lu San is certain that it is related.

However, Lu San did not rush to leave, but gritted his teeth and looked towards the opposite side of the hillside.

He was confident that Li Yan would not die so easily.

Just now when he was summoning the fish and shrimp, he was disturbed again. The noise came from that hillside.

Lu San gritted his teeth, went back, took Wu Ba away, took out his gun, and loaded a magazine.

This Liangzi Lake has an owner, and the fish and shrimp in the lake are all controlled by something. Even his magic is useless.

Generally speaking, Lu San doesn't want to cause trouble.

But this time, he was really angry.

The two of them moved very fast and soon entered the hillside. Lu San's ears kept trembling as he listened to the noise and pulled aside the vines and dead branches.

Soon, a stone shrine was revealed.

The shrine is very old, mottled and blurred. There is no statue enshrined in it, but there is a tablet with the words "the spirit tablet of the Black-headed King" written on it.

Lu San pulled out the bone flower directly, put the muzzle of the gun against the spirit seat, and said in a low voice with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Shame on you, get out of here!"

Call ~
Suddenly, cold wind blew up all around, swirling rain and broken leaves. Ten meters away, a hunched black shadow appeared.

"Roar!"

Wu Ba's hair stood on end. He protected Lu San behind him and roared at him.

Lu Sanque was not panicked at all. He still pointed the muzzle of his gun at the tablet and muttered to himself the words from above.

The shadow on the opposite side was silent for a moment, and responded in the same language.

As Lu San listened, his eyes gradually became shocked...
