After Zhang Ruitong's reminder, Wu Sanxing focused on the Gourd Valley.
"If we enter the fake dragon head, there must be many traps below. I'm afraid we'll have a slim chance of survival!”
Then, he said excitedly,"Then let's go to this Gourd Valley tomorrow to explore!"”
"Pan Zi, come with me to prepare the things first," Wu Sanxing called out to Pan Zi.”
He led Pan Zi to prepare the equipment in advance.
The first was the shovel. It could be disassembled into sections and could be as long as one wanted. It was also convenient to carry and was a sharp weapon for grave robbing.
Most of the tombs of the Warring States Period were buried ten meters below the ground, so they could pick up as many pieces as they wanted with this shovel.
He and Pan Zi also brought guns with them.
Wu Sanxing handed one to Zhang Ruitong.
"Lord Zhang, times have changed. It's easier to protect yourself with a gun!”
"Thanks." Zhang Ruitong took the pistol and carried it with him.
In his previous life, he had only played with real people and had never touched a real gun.
When encountering zombies in the ancient tomb, the Dragon Abyss Sword was the first choice.
However, if he were to encounter a person, a gun would be better.
After packing their things, the journey was tiring. After returning to their rooms, everyone fell asleep almost immediately. The entire night quickly passed in their sleep.
The next morning, the girl at the guest house took the initiative to pull Zhang Ruitong over.
He said that he wanted to find someone to lead the way for him.
The one who was called over was the child they met at the village entrance yesterday.
The child was not afraid of strangers and led everyone on the mountain road for two to three hours.
"That's it," the child pointed ahead.”
After saying that, the child turned around and left.
Zhang Ruitong took a closer look. The mountain road ahead was obviously washed out by the mudslide.
Zhang Ruitong stretched out his hand and easily flipped over, leaving a few people behind to slowly crawl.
There weren't any human head pits nearby.
Instead, a canyon appeared where the landslide had occurred.
As they walked further, they saw a forest.
After taking a few steps, Zhang Ruitong saw a familiar figure at the edge of the forest.
"Boatman?"
The boatman had a dog with him, and his leg was injured.
Seeing Zhang Ruitong appear, she immediately turned around and wanted to run.
With just that limping leg, he was caught up in a few moves.
The boatman was helpless. He turned around and knelt down to kowtow." Sir, please spare me. I was forced to do such a wicked thing in the past. I really failed to recognize Mount Tai this time!”
The boatman was no longer as cold and aloof as before. He knelt down neatly.
Zhang Ruitong asked him,"Life is not a reason for you to deliberately harm people!"”
With that, she kicked him away.
A person like this should have died in the ancient tomb long ago.
Wu Sanxing and the others quickly caught up.
Staring at the wound on the boatman's leg, Wu Sanxing leaned over and asked,""Your leg was bitten by a zombie monster?”
The boatman nodded helplessly." Yes, there were a large number of zombie beetles at the position where we ran earlier. I don't believe that we were hit."”
The color of the wound was strange, but it was the corpse poison that had entered his body.
This boatman probably did not have much time left.
" You're more familiar with this place," Zhang Ruitong said." If you take us somewhere, I'll consider letting you go."”
The boatman looked at the place he was pointing at and his expression changed.
"Gentlemen, you can't go to that place!”
"There's a demon in that tomb!" he said excitedly.
"Monster?"
Zhang Ruitong thought of a terrifying plant in the ancient tomb.
"Looking at you, have you seen that monster before?”
"A few years ago, that old man and I brought another group of people to the mountains.
It was obvious that those people were here to fight, and their bearing was not ordinary.”
The more he spoke, the more afraid he felt. Zhang Ruitong glared at him and continued to speak.
"I didn't dare to go to that place. Although they gave me a lot of money, it wasn't worth it to lose my life.”
"But the leader forced me to lead the way with a gun. I had no choice but to follow them to that place.”
He suddenly lowered his head slightly and whispered,""That day, I fell asleep in the tent, but when I woke up, there was no one in the surrounding tents.”
Zhang Ruitong's expression changed and he guessed,"Those people were all hung on the trees?”
The boatman nodded repeatedly." I saw a woman waving at me at that time. I chased after her and saw a big tree behind her. It was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. The tree was full of dead people hanging from it."
Wu Sanxing stood to the side and listened. The conversation between the two felt a little mysterious.
"Lord Zhang, do you know what that thing is?"”
Zhang Ruitong seemed to be able to know everything in advance. Although it was still not too immediate, he had more or less gotten used to it.
Zhang Ruitong narrowed his eyes and said,"It's the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress!"”
"This thing usually doesn't live alone. It will form a symbiotic mode with other creatures.”
Seeing the others staring at him in confusion, he explained," It's those corpse beetles. The cypress is responsible for catching people. The corpse beetles eat meat, and the digested feces become the cypress's nourishment.”
The boatman's face turned pale." Monster! This is the monster guarding the tomb!"”
When he heard Zhang Ruitong mention the snake cypress, he was so scared that he was about to go crazy.
Wu Tianzhen frowned." Symbiosis again?”
He had seen the strange symbiosis mode on the corpse beetles before.
" Cut the crap," Zhang Ruitong scolded." Bring us there quickly."”
Finding the location of the snake cypress meant that it was not far from the main tomb.
The boatman had no choice but to lead the way obediently.
After walking for more than four hours, they finally arrived at the place the boatman had mentioned.
He led them to the location where they had set up their tents. There were a total of 12 tents around them.
Everyone checked carefully. Just as the boatman said, the equipment was still there, but the people were all missing.
"These are all military tents. They're very sturdy."”
There was a large amount of gasoline around the tent, and there was even a generator.
Everyone used the local materials to start a fire to cook.
During dinner, Zhang Ruitong was holding a map.
The young man next to him stared at the fox on the map and said,"We should be at this location now.”
This fox was a very special existence in this picture.
Zhang Ruitong took a look and said," This is the sacrificial platform. The sacrificial offerings should be below. We can dig down from here."”
Wu Sanxing touched the soil but didn't smell anything.
"Then let's take a few shovels first."
