Although Pan Zi was rowing the boat with all his might, the water was already dyed red.
No matter how fast the boat was, it could not escape the blood-red water.
Soon, they discovered that the first thing to float up was the boatman's head.
His head was broken, and only his head was floating on the water.
Looking closely, there seemed to be something squirming under his face.
Then, it was a skeleton that had been gnawed until only its bones were left.
Seeing this, Wu Xie's entire person was in a bad state.
Encountering such a bloody scene on his first time out was something he couldn't accept.
His face turned pale, and his entire body went limp on the ship. He was in a daze.
Then, another set of bones appeared.
It should be the remains of the coachman.
Only white bones were left.
In the end, the skeleton of the cow also floated up.
"You should be full after eating so much, right?”
Pan Zi didn't feel anything. Instead, he said worriedly.
"I'm not sure. Everyone, be careful." Wu Sansheng said.”
Pan Zi had no choice but to row the boat as fast as possible, hoping to get rid of these zombie beetles.
"Oh no! The boat doesn't seem to be able to move." Pan Zi suddenly said.
At this moment, everyone realized that their ship seemed to have been blocked by something and was still in place.
Looking at the water surface, they saw that the terrifying black shadow had already blocked their boat.
"I'm just afraid that you don't have such good teeth.”Wu Sansheng said fiercely.
As he spoke, he had already pulled out his short-barreled gun. When he arrived at the bow of the ship, he was about to shoot.
"Squeak squeak!"
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard.
It was like the squeaking of a mouse, but it was much sharper.
It was as if it possessed some kind of magic, causing Wu Sansheng's spirit to appear in a temporary trance.
"Wu Xie! Da Kui!"
At this moment, Pan Zi suddenly shouted.
Wu Xie and Da Kui slowly stood up as if they were possessed.
What was even stranger was that the two of them seemed to be about to jump into the water.
"Oh no!"
At this moment, the young man and Wu Li shouted at the same time.
The two of them could not care less and hurriedly grabbed the two of them and pressed them into the boat.
"It's too scary. I feel like my mind is being controlled.”
At this moment, Wu Sansheng was lying limply on the bow of the ship, his face filled with fear as he spoke.
This strange voice could actually control one's mind.
This was something that no one had ever encountered before.
"Water! Soak it in water."
The young man suddenly said to Wu Li.
Because although they were suppressing Wu Xie and Da Kui, they were still able to do so.
However, the two of them struggled extremely hard and kept trying to get into the water.
"Then give them a water bath." Wu Li said.
As he spoke, he grabbed Da Kui's feet and threw him into the water. However, he held onto Da Kui's feet tightly.
Seeing this, the young man imitated Wu Li and grabbed Wu Xie's feet, throwing him into the water to soak.
"Squeak squeak!"
As Wu Xie and Da Kui sank into the water, the black shadows immediately approached them.
However, at this moment, Wu Li and the young man hurriedly lifted them up.
Fortunately, the two of them were strong enough to pull them up in an instant.
"Cough cough!"
Because of the sudden incident, the two of them choked on the water, causing them to cough continuously after being pulled up.
"The zombie beetles haven't left. They seem to be attacking the ship.”
Before he could check on the two of them, Pan Zi had already shouted.
At this moment, the young man left Wu Xie behind and took out a dagger from Da Kui's body.
"Bang!"
The little brother swung the dagger in his hand and immediately stabbed it into the corpse monster that he had picked up earlier.
"Squeak squeak!"
The corpse monster let out a strange sound.
Something strange happened.
The zombie beetles that were about to climb the boat suddenly sank into the water.
They left in front of everyone and did not seem to attack their ships.
At this moment, the ship began to move forward slowly again.
The originally blood-red surface of the water regained its clarity because the zombie beetles had blocked the boat.
Because the blood had already been washed away by the water.
After seeing the zombie beetles leave, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They had overcome a difficult situation.
"Little Third Master, is Da Kui alright?"
Pan Zi couldn't be bothered to row the boat anymore. He hurried to the cabin to check on the two of them.
"Cough cough! I'm fine." Wu Xie waved his hand and said.
He had already regained his consciousness, and Da Kui had also regained his senses.
"It was too scary. At that time, I just wanted to jump into the water.”Da Kui said.
Pan Zi looked at the young man and Wu Li and asked,"
"What is going on? What was that terrifying demonic sound?”
The little brother didn't say anything. Instead, he came to the corpse beastman's side and cut open the dagger.
A bell rolled out of the zombie monster's butt.
It also emitted a strong corrosive smell.
"This is it." Wu Li looked at the young man and said.
The little brother nodded and inserted the corpse beetles back into the bow of the ship.
"We need this corpse beastman to leave.”
"What a strong smell of rotting corpses. It should have the same effect as that boatman.”Wu Sansheng added.
Perhaps it was too smelly, Wu Sansheng put away his gun and went to the cabin.
"Strange, it's actually a bronze hexagonal bell.”
Wu Xie was already lying on the boat, carefully observing the bell.
The hexagonal bell was considered a rather obscure item among antiques. Generally, no one would take it away.
Because it wasn't valuable at all, unless one met an academic who might buy it to study its value.
"It doesn't look old. It should be something from before the Warring States Period. This is strange.
They even ate this kind of bell. Their appetite was really good.”
Wu Xie said while looking at the hexagonal bell.
"No, I can't! This wasn't something they ate, but something that someone had transplanted and fused with.”the young man said.
"Symbiosis?" Wu Xie asked curiously.”
Wu Xie seemed a little unfamiliar with this word, so he looked at the little brother and asked.
However, who was this little brother? He was definitely a boring person. It was already rare for him to say something. How could he explain it clearly?
"You can understand that this is man-made, or someone deliberately raised it.
This thing was like a chip that could control their behavior.”
Seeing that Wu Xie still wanted to ask, Wu Li took the initiative to say.
"Raise them? Why did they raise this thing?”Wu Xie was stunned.
"If you were a millionaire, would you want others to dig your grave?" asked Wu Li. There must be some anti-theft measures, right?”
"That's true." Wu Xie said.
He already understood that these people were not raising these corpse beetles as pets.
Instead, it was something that was kept to prevent grave robbers.
These bells were like the chips that controlled them.
"Kid, now you know why your brother sacrificed those two people, right?”Wu Sansheng asked.
Wu Xie still did not understand. He looked at Wu Li with a distant expression.
"That boatman has the stench of corpses on him, and these corpse beetles feed on corpses, so we have to abandon him.
Otherwise, those corpse beetles will climb onto the boat and we will all die. As for the coachman and the cow, they are just to fill their stomachs.
Nephew Gu, the martial world is dangerous. You should learn more from your brother in the future.
Don't make yourself look like a saint all day. If you can't accept this kind of thing, you should go home after you get out.”
Wu Sansheng didn't hold back and taught Wu Xie a lesson.
Wu Xie wasn't a fool. If he had a choice, he might have chosen this path.
He also understood Wu Li's good intentions. Sometimes, people had to be ruthless, or else the one who died would be themselves.
