The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

The human skin map shows two routes to Zhelong Mountain.

One option is to cross Zhelong Mountain, which is 3,000 meters above sea level, and enter the interior of Zhelong Mountain. The other option is to follow the Snake River to enter Zhelong Mountain.

Crossing snow-capped mountains and traversing primeval forests are neither easy nor time-consuming.

Therefore, Fang Yun does not intend to take either of these two paths.

If I remember correctly, the Snake River has a branch that flows into Zhelong Mountain from a cave at the foot of the mountain.

His goal was to find the waterway and enter the interior of Zhelong Mountain directly.

The Snake River was easy to find. After finding it, the four of them soon found a branch of the Snake River.

Following the branch of the Snake River downstream, you soon see a large cave at the foot of Zhelong Mountain, with the river flowing from the outside in.

(One chapter was blocked, so annoying... Dear readers, many people have been saying that the Worm Valley drama has been released these past few days, but I don't plan to write according to the drama. I'll stick to my own outline to avoid ending up with a hodgepodge.)

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Water Boar Swarm and Razorback Viper!

"This is it! Go through this water cave and you'll reach the interior of Zhelong Mountain!"

After taking a few more steps forward and confirming their location, Fang Yun said to everyone with certainty.

"Screw the valve and let it go."

Soon, the four of them got to work, using materials found in the dense forest, such as bamboo and tree trunks, along with vines, to build a raft.

The raft was launched, and the four of them quickly boarded it and slid down the river toward the water cave ahead.

Before long, the raft was pushed into the water cave by the current.

After entering the water cave, the first section is relatively easy to walk on. The waterway is wide, and walking on the raft is no different from walking on a large river.

But after walking for about five or six minutes, the waterway became extremely narrow, and the cave became much smaller. The four of them could touch the rocks on the cave ceiling with just a simple reach.

Seeing this, the four of them lowered their bodies slightly, stabilizing the raft while avoiding hitting the rock spikes and protrusions on the cave ceiling.

After walking for a while, the space in the water cave shrank again, and now if a person stood up, their head would hit the top of the cave.

"Human terracotta warrior!"

Just then, Partridge Whistle 403, sitting at the very front of the raft, shouted in a deep voice.

Fang Yun looked up at the sound and saw that on the cave ceiling in front of him, there were densely packed human figures hanging upside down, like bats standing upside down on the cave ceiling.

Because of the damp and cold environment, the human figures were covered with moss and fungi, making their facial features completely unrecognizable. In the darkness, they looked like stone sculptures hanging upside down from the cave ceiling.

"How many are there?"

"Fang Yun... this is the one you were talking about using a frozen falcon to blow on people, right...?"

Seeing the countless human figures hanging from the cave ceiling ahead, the old foreigner immediately drew his arrow and nocked it.

After learning from Fang Yun how terrifying the Jing Tong people were, he remembered it very well throughout the journey.

"Human figurines, resembling humans in appearance, are used to raise insects, specifically 'ghosts'!"

"Insect figurines, shaped like insects, are used to refine people and cultivate their virtue!"

"These humanoid terracotta warriors contain worms that only awaken when the terracotta warriors break apart. There's no need to worry too much, just don't touch them."

Hearing Fang Yun's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They swayed back and forth on the raft, avoiding the oncoming terracotta figures, and let the current push the raft forward slowly.

“Brother Fang, this waterway must have been specially dug by the King of Xian to build his tomb.”

"Like the terrain of Ping Mountain, if waterways are not readily available, it would be impossible to build a large tomb in the mountain."

After walking for more than ten minutes, everything went smoothly, and Partridge Whistle calmed down and began to observe his surroundings.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun nodded.

"That should be correct, but before the King Xian died, he must have blocked the passage again."

"However, as countless years have passed, countless people have come here to raid tombs, and the Snake River has continuously eroded this passage, opening up the road."

Snapped...

Just then, Fang Yun felt the raft stop, as if it had bumped into something underneath.

Fang Yun's expression changed, and he looked towards the top of the cave.

The countless terracotta warriors trembled and then slowly fell.

Only then can you see that the terracotta warrior's legs are chained, with the chains extending from a hole in the cave ceiling, carrying the terracotta warrior down.

In an instant, Fang Yun remembered the principle and shouted coldly.

"The terracotta warrior is about to break, start the raft immediately!"

No sooner had Fang Yun finished speaking than the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, swiftly made their move.

He grabbed the pole he had prepared earlier and plunged it into the water, propelling the raft forward at an accelerated pace.

In no time, the rafts going downstream sped up considerably.

However, those terracotta warriors fell even faster!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Several splashes of water were heard, and the first terracotta figures to fall had already crashed into the waterway.

The terracotta figure was covered only by a thin layer of human skin. When it hit the water, it immediately cracked open, and countless maggot-like insect eggs spilled out.

The next moment, the insect eggs that came into contact with the water rapidly swelled up, swirled and rolled in the water, and then chased after Fang Yun and his companions' raft.

"This is a water hog bee, which can be used in medicine!"

Hua exclaimed in surprise as she saw the swarm of water hogs covering the water's surface.

The water leech is a large leech, often called a bloodsucking leech. The eggs of the water leech will live when they come into contact with water, and it will bite any living creature it sees, except for carnivorous aquatic creatures with scales, such as snakes and fish.

"Fool...be careful, this isn't an ordinary water hog bee, it's a water lily!"

After offering a helpless explanation, Fang Yun then said to the three of them, "You just need to keep moving the raft; these are just small fry."

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the three of them quickened their pace considerably.

Wow...

As the raft continued to increase its speed, all the terracotta figures that had been on the cave ceiling crashed into the water.

The terracotta figure cracked open, and the insect eggs inside awoke upon contact with water, transforming into water slugs that rushed towards the four people.

The scene was truly like a tidal wave; as far as the eye could see, not a single stretch of water could be seen, the entire river surface was swarming with countless water slugs.

Seeing that the water swarm was about to catch up with the raft, Fang Yun smiled and shook his head, took the dragon bone dagger from his waist, and was about to slash his finger.

But just as the blade was about to pierce his finger, Fang Yun suddenly stopped.

boom..

As Fang Yun stopped moving, the water in front of the raft suddenly exploded, and a roaring sound of churning water suddenly rang out.

The river surface churned, looking as if the entire river had been boiled.

The churning water kept approaching the raft, and soon it passed under the raft, rushing towards the swarm of water hogs chasing behind it.

The water swarms that were previously frantic turned tail and fled as quickly as mice seeing a cat when they saw the churning river.

Bang! ! !

At the same time, the sound of splashing water rang out.

Looking closely, one can see countless strange fish with shimmering scales, red eyes, and serrated teeth leaping out from beneath the river's surface.

The fish burst out of the water and then plunged back down, their ferocious mouths agape as they lunged at the swarm of water hogs on the surface.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yun stopped his plan to release the Qilin blood and began to watch with relish.

Water slugs are a delicacy in the eyes of the saber-toothed viperfish. With the saber-toothed viperfish all appearing, the water slugs have nowhere to run. It's good to have one less obstacle; it will also save some bloodshed later.

(Chapter 65 is now available. Please read the end of Chapter 65; there's something I need to tell you.)

Chapter Seventy: The Divine Might of Precious Blood, the Giant Python Disembowels!

After encountering the school of saber-toothed vipers, the water swarm scattered and fled, having no intention of attacking Fang Yun and his companions again.

Meanwhile, the viperfish were busy chasing and devouring the swarm of water slugs, their favorite prey, and had no time to pay attention to Fang Yun and his companions.

While the saber-toothed viper was feeding, the four men propelled the raft a considerable distance across the waterway.

Seeing that the swarms of water bees and saber-toothed vipers hadn't followed, Hua leaned close to Fang Yun and asked:

"Fang Yun, those fish don't seem interested in people."

"Fish eat water slugs, and water slugs want to eat people."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and said, "That fish is called a razor-toothed viperfish. It is a ferocious fish that can eat any kind of meat."

"The saber-toothed viperfish generally lives in the southwestern region outside Yunnan, which is also the area where the three major evil spells are prevalent."

"It must have been specially raised by the Prince of Xian to guard this waterway. As for their food... it's just countless wild boars, and they eat them like the legendary beasts that are fed to the emperor!"

"But those viperfish haven't eaten their fill, and they'll even cannibalize each other. When they see food, they'll go crazy. So we need to be quick. Once those viperfish finish eating the water slugs, they might turn their attention to us!"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, all three of them tensed up and began to push the raft forward with renewed effort.

Those fanged viperfish were just a bit fierce, not too dangerous, but what they were standing on now wasn't the ground, but a bamboo raft.
