"This is the Tomb of Mystery. It looks like the main tomb, but in reality, the walls around it are all sealed off.”
Jiang Yi pretended to be relaxed and smiled faintly." Old Hu, it's fine. If there's nothing wrong down there, I'll come up and tell you…"
"No!"
Xue Li Yang's pretty face was still filled with panic. She held onto Jiang Yi's hand and refused to let go. She shook her head repeatedly and said,"Without you, we wouldn't have made it here. If you want to go down, I'll follow you.”
Hearing this, Eighth Hu's face turned green.
"Then…then let's all go."
Fatty Wang could only bite the bullet and break the awkward atmosphere.
"Alright, you guys watch. I'll leave first.”
Jiang Yi could not be bothered to stir up emotions under such circumstances. He patted Xue Li Yang's hand, grabbed the Flying Tiger Claw's rope, and jumped into the coffin.
The Yellow River underground was about two meters away from the coffin. When Jiang Yi was hanging in the air with his hands tightly holding onto the rope, he looked around.
He suddenly realized that the water quality of this rapid river seemed to be diverted from the Yellow River. The water was yellow and he could clearly feel the sand.
There were a few entrances on the wall of the water cave. He guessed that it should be a mechanism to release the corpses.
Inside the tomb.
Xue Li Yang looked at Jiang Yi worriedly and couldn't help but ask,""Old Hu, you guys discuss it first. I'll go down first.”
Before anyone could reply, Xue Li Yang followed closely behind and jumped into the coffin.
Eighth Hu, Fatty Wang, and Big Golden Tooth were stunned.
They looked at each other and finally began to lie down in the coffin with shame. Big Golden Tooth was in front, Fatty Wang was behind, and finally, Eighth Hu was the last.
Within two minutes, all five of them had jumped into the Yellow River.
The water level seemed to be very shallow, only as high as a person's thigh. However, the current was extremely rapid, as if it could wash people down if they were not careful.
In the dark cave, Jiang Yi put the flashlight on his head and held the Seven-star Dragon Abyss Sword in one hand as he walked down slowly.
"Is this water flowing down from above?”
Eighth Hu was still thinking about the water source.""But where did the Yellow River water come from?”
" There are two possibilities. After the Yellow River flows into the Yellow Plateau, it diverges and forms the Wei River and the Jing River. However, perhaps in a place that we can't see, the Yellow River seeps into the mountains and impacts them all year round, forming a natural underground river.”
Due to the loud echoes in the cave, Jiang Yi lowered his voice.""There's another possibility.”
"What's the point of digging?" Fatty Wang asked, his head full of black lines.
"There are mountains, water, and qi gathering. It's a place with excellent feng shui.”
Jiang Yi shook his head with a sinister smile." What can we do? The ancients always thought about the immediate problem. Now that time has passed and the situation has changed, the tables have turned. The auspicious tomb of the past has now become a dangerous one."”
"There's such a saying?"
Fatty Wang was stunned.
The upstream of the underground river was obviously not accessible. The higher one went, the smaller the width of the cave entrance. It was not enough to accommodate a person at all.
However, the water flow became wider and higher as it went down. Gradually, it could accommodate five people standing upright.
However, for some reason, a pungent stench came from the narrow cave, sometimes thick and sometimes faint.
The light from the torchlight shone over, and other than some damp moss growing around the cave wall, there was nothing unusual.
However, the further Jiang Yi and the others went, the stronger the smell became. It was as if they had returned to a place full of mangy monkeys.
"Chief Jiang, Chief Hu, this…this place wouldn't have another mangy monkey, right?”
"Ah!"
As soon as Big Golden Tooth finished speaking, Xue Li Yang screamed and jumped into Jiang Yi's arms. Her entire body was hanging on him.
Just as everyone was in a daze, Fatty Wang grunted and pointed at Xue Li Yang's ankle."What…what is that?"
Something that looked like a snake was biting Xue Li Yang's calf. As Xue Li Yang hugged Jiang Yi, the snake was still floating in the air.
Eighth Hu was quick to react. He grabbed the snake's head and yanked it away, then slammed it against the wall.
With a smack, the snake was smashed into pieces. Black blood splattered on the cave wall, and the thick smell of rotting corpses assaulted his nose.
"F * ck!"
Fatty Wang immediately covered his nose and dodged. Chief Jiang, Old Hu, there's something in the water…"
Without him saying anything, Jiang Yi had already carried Xue Li Yang and quickly found a rock to sit on. Blood flowed out of Xue Li Yang's wound and dripped onto the Yellow River, dyeing it red.
However, a moment later, before everyone could heave a sigh of relief, a shocking scene appeared.
Countless pitch-black snakes seemed to have smelled the scent and swam over from all directions. In a short while, the river water around the rock became pitch-black.
No one counted how many there were, but Jiang Yi could easily estimate that there were at least a thousand.
"Li…Li Chunlai's corpse…was fed to these poisonous snakes?”
Big Golden Tooth stood on the rock, holding the shovel with both hands, maintaining vigilance.
" This isn't a poisonous snake. This is a man-eating snake lizard, a lizard that looks like a snake…"
Jiang Yi's blood was boiling as he ordered everyone to retreat quickly. He covered Xue Li Yang's bleeding wound with one hand."How did it go? How does it feel?"
"No…it doesn't hurt!"
At this moment, Xue Li Yang's face turned extremely pale, and her eyes became dizzy. She leaned on Jiang Yi's thigh and said weakly,""I…I just want to sleep. Xiao…Xiaojiang, you…you guys can go first…"
As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer.
In the end, Xue Li Yang actually closed her eyes and really fell asleep.
"Xue Li? Xue Li?"
Jiang Yi was shocked. He patted Xue Li Yang's face and shook it."Corpse poison, Snake. Lizard's body has an intense corpse poison. Xue Li Yang has been poisoned.”
