Chapter 18 6 The Overground Tomb
tick.A drop of water fell on the potholed gravel road, tick tock, another drop fell on Xue Yang's cheek, and another dropped on Xue Yang's shoulder.sticky.Xue Yang looked up.A monster was looking down on them.The dark brown skin is rough and uneven, the whole body is covered with mucus, and the claws stick out sharply. Looking at the strange red color, it must be poisonous enough, and the tail is covered with armor.I just don't know how it is attached to the roof of the cave.The monster stuck out its tongue and attacked Xue Yang.Xue Yang raised his sword to block it, and hit the sword with his tongue, bending the blade into a curved arc.The tip of the tongue seemed to have a suction cup, and it directly sucked Jiang Mi, forming a tug-of-war position with Xue Yang.Xiao Xingchen pushed An Changle into the corner, and flew to chop off the monster's tongue. The monster turned its eyes, and effortlessly pointed its pupils at Xiao Xingchen behind it. Stardust, the latter didn't go head-on, turned over to avoid it, but was cut by its sharp tail tip, and Xue Yang's eyes moved slightly.Just at this moment, Xiao Xingchen turned the tip of the sword, ruthlessly plunged his backhand into the hard shell of the last section of the tail, at the same time urged the sword tactics and spiritual power to pour into his arm, and forcibly nailed the tail to the stone wall.
The monster roared, retracted its tongue, turned to Xiao Xingchen and swept away.There was no chewing teeth in the open bloody mouth.Taking advantage of Xiao Xingchen's busy time, the long tongue wrapped around his neck and tightened slowly.
"Xue...Yang, attack its...throat." Xiao Xingchen didn't care about the restraint on his neck, and didn't let go of the sword in his hand, so as to restrict the monster's movement. Its tail and tongue were its main attacking targets. Weapons, and its tongue is extremely tough, and non-magic weapons can't hurt it at all. The important parts of this monster are basically covered with a hard carapace, and even the eyelids are covered with a layer of hard skin.Only the larynx looks easier to attack.
Xue Yang is not stupid, listen to what he said.Respond immediately.Following Xiao Xingchen's posture, he inserted the Jiang disaster in his hand along its tongue and into its throat.The monster felt the sharpness of the sword, but let go of its attachment to the top of the wall. Forced by its own weight, the moment it fell, its tail was cut off by Shuanghua, which also caused Xue Yang's sword to miss. "Howl..." The monster roared and wanted to withdraw its tongue, but Xiao Xingchen pulled it tightly, so it stretched out its sharp claws to grab Xiao Xingchen. "Let go!" Xue Yang shouted at Xiao Xingchen.Xiao Xingchen glanced at him and let go.Easily dodged that claw.This monster looked ferocious, but its movements were very sluggish from time to time, and it moved entirely by instinct.The monster withdrew its tongue, and when it saw Xue Yang appearing in front of it, it immediately opened its mouth to attack. Xue Yang didn't mean to avoid the oncoming tongue at all. Tongue front hit.Seeing that the monster was about to close its mouth, a stalactite flew from the side, caught its upper and lower jaws, and was then chewed to pieces. Although it only bought two breaths of time, it was enough for Xue Yang to swallow its mouth. Throat pierced.The monster collapsed with a crash.
Xue Yang retracted the disaster and glanced at the monster's abdomen.The monster itself is huge, how did it survive in this hole where no weeds grew, water?Or someone who got in by mistake?Withdrawing his thoughts, he tilted his head and glanced at An Changle.
"It's a good thing you just threw that stalactite, otherwise, we wouldn't know how to get out of danger." Xiao Xingchen thanked An Changle.
"You're being polite, sir. I'm just trying my luck. I'm afraid it won't help you." An Changle said, but "hissed" and took a breath. Xiao Xingchen saw that his wound had opened .
"Your wound needs to be treated quickly, we must get out of here as soon as possible." Xiao Xingchen said while supporting An Changle.The latter raised his head and saw Xue Yang looking at him, smiled at him, and then replied, "It seems that I have to worry about it, sir."
"I'll help him." Xue Yang said involuntarily, pulling An Changle from Xiao Xingchen.
"Be careful..." Xiao Xingchen shouted hastily.
"It's okay, I'm going to trouble this brother." An Changle said calmly.
This person is obviously younger than him, but he has such an old-fashioned tone.Xue Yang was noncommittal about his calling him a brother, but his subordinates were indifferent.The footsteps never slowed down, they were dragging each other along.Xiao Xingchen, who was following behind them, frowned.
The three of them walked forward along the cave like this, unexpectedly, they went all the way unimpeded.I don't know how long I walked.All three are happy.There is wind, and the air is no longer cloudy.This shows that there is definitely an exit here.When I walked a little further inside, I finally saw a step that could go up to the ground.Xue Yang looked at everything around him, where is the end of this passage, or what is it guarding?
Xiao Xingchen, who was behind him, watched An Changle bled so much that he almost fell into a coma again, and urged him to get out of the cave first.The two joined forces to support An Changle and stepped up the steps.When he got to the last step, Xue Yang stopped Xiao Xingchen from taking that step forward: "It smells of blood." There was also a rotten smell.
If it is the smell of blood, it should be smelled along the way, because there is a seriously injured patient who is bleeding continuously.But Xiao Xingchen understood that he was talking about outside the door.Subconsciously, Xue Yang held Xiao Xingchen behind him with his left hand, and opened the door with his right palm.Then quickly flew out.
Xiao Xingchen waited and waited, but there was no sound of fighting, so he flew out of the cave together with An Changle.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Xingchen couldn't help taking a step back, almost falling into the hole again.In this square, super-capacity house, two layers of corpses were placed on three of the four sides.The first layer has been weathered into bones, neatly arranged against the wall.But carrion can still be seen on the second layer.The limbs have exposed bones, and it looks like they were eaten by something before or after death.There is a brown sarcophagus in the middle, but the coffin lid is on the other side, and four hollow spaces are dug out on the surrounding walls, and clay pots are placed in each of them.Xiao Xingchen looked around for a week with his eyes, but he couldn't see Xue Yang.Did something happen to this rogue?
Xiao Xingchen made An Changle, who had already passed out, lie on the corner of the wall where there was no corpse.I decided to take a look at the person in the sarcophagus first, this should be the owner of the tomb on the ground.Come closer, probe...
"It's Uncle Chen."
Xiao Xingchen turned around quickly when he heard the voice.Xue Yang, who came back at an unknown time, was standing behind him, looking at the person in the sarcophagus with him.It should not be Chen Bo, but the "tomb guard" or the person who killed the "tomb guard".Therefore, when they approached those fake cemeteries, they appeared in such a timely manner.
Everyone thinks that the mausoleum guards are guarding the "tomb", but who would have thought that this is an above-ground tomb?Anyone with common sense knows that it is easier to preserve the body of the owner of the tomb if the tomb is underground.It is precisely because of this that no one would have thought that they would build the tomb here.
"This is the backyard of 'Uncle Chen'." Although they stayed here for one night, they never looked at it because of the inconvenience and because they thought it was unnecessary.At that time, seeing this place with a simple appearance from outside the courtyard, "Chen Bo" gave the reason that it was a storage place.
"Who... killed him?" Xiao Xingchen looked at the person in the coffin incredulously. The bones of the limbs were broken into several sections and arranged in strange shapes. The chest cavity was also deflated by gravity. , the protruding eyes were never closed.It seems that it has only been gone for a few days, but the degree of his decay is indeed very fast.Feng Huaren was not seen among them, the two should be in the same group, could it be that they are rebellious?So, was Uncle Chen killed by Feng Huaren?
"Does it matter who killed it? Could it be that you still want to avenge him?" The expression on the other party's face made Xue Yang feel very interesting. It was just someone who had nothing to do with it. Why waste such energy to sympathize?And he always seemed to like it that way.
"What... are you making troubles about again?" Forced to walk with him all the way, and now watching his twisted emotions from time to time, Xiao Xingchen really didn't know what evil he had done.
Xue Yang looked at him almost gnashing his teeth, raised his hand, and threw a hidden weapon at him.Xiao Xingchen subconsciously raised his hand to take it, the "hidden weapon" was a box.Open it suspiciously.
"Soul Concentrating Lamp!" Xiao Xingchen called out almost in surprise.Originally, this matter was full of twists and turns, and I thought that I would never get the Soul Concentrating Lamp, but there is nowhere to find it!
"Where did you find it? Didn't you have any defenses? Are you okay?" Xiao Xingchen asked.
Xue Yang hid his right hand behind his back, just covering the faint red dot.Is this... concern?He smiled slightly at Xiao Xingchen, but did not answer.After seeing his smile, Xiao Xingchen had a strange expression on his face, as if it was difficult to reconcile the combination of crying and laughing.Also forgot to continue with the question just now.
That smile was too joyful and pure.
Xiao Xingchen opened his eyes.I don't see other living people here - after all, this is a mausoleum, so it's normal not to see them.Xue Yang had already observed the surroundings a little earlier, but there were no traces of other mechanisms.Xiao Xingchen was worried about An Changle's injury, so the two walked out of this "overground tomb" smoothly with an injured person.
