"Oh no! It seems that the big guy has discovered us." I warned.
Liu Deshui's expression became solemn, and he said hurriedly: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, we can't delay any longer. We have to leave here quickly."
Immediately, Liu Deshui and I circulated the Yin De Qi in our bodies, and together with Uncle Sun and Xiao Li, we quickly ran towards the entrance of the earth cave.
We were moving very fast, and white light was shining on our bodies, raising a cloud of gray dust.
The cadaver rats had already noticed us at this time, and the "squeaking" sounds from their mouths became louder and more shrill.
Soon, there seemed to be a burst of noise above the cadaver rat's nest.
I quickly turned around and looked back.
I found that the huge cadaver rat was still standing on the top of the small mound, staring in our direction with its eyes slightly narrowed.
However, the giant cadaver rat did not move, nor did it order other cadaver rats to chase us.
This gave me a sense of surprise.
I seemed to see a bit of human spirit in the eyes of that huge cadaver rat, as if that huge cadaver rat was thinking.
Moreover, there is a playful look in its eyes, as if it possesses human wisdom.
In a trance, I suddenly felt that the huge cadaver rat was very scary.
If it was not a cadaver rat but a human, it must be a very cunning guy. When I thought of this, I felt a chill down my spine.
Soon, without any ghouls chasing us, we quickly escaped from the burrow.
But in order to take precautions, we did not stop and continued to practice the Gangbu, moving quickly through the dark earth cave.
During this time, Xiaoli took out a flashlight to illuminate for us.
The flashlight wasn't very bright, and we were running too fast, so the beam was erratic and shaking.
Our shadows were reflected on the gray earth wall, like elongated ghosts.
After running for a few minutes, we finally arrived at the fork in the road.
In the middle of the fork in the road, there were a lot of red hairs scattered, which were left by the cadaver rats that had passed through here before, and there was also a lot of smelly feces.
I kept running so fast that I felt like a piece of hot charcoal was stuffed in my throat. It was very dry and hot, and my whole body was covered in sticky hot sweat.
"Master Liu, please stop and take a rest first."
I gasped and stopped.
Liu Deshui, who was running in front of me, slowed down and stopped.
His forehead was covered in sweat and his face was a little red, and he looked very tired. Although the Yin De Qi was not consumed much, we were carrying two people, so our bodies were still very tired.
We leaned forward and groped out some water and each of us drank a little.
At this time, our breathing gradually became steady, and the rise and fall of our chest was not so violent.
However, we had only rested here for less than two minutes when we suddenly heard the sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps from the other side of the fork in the road.
The footsteps sounded dull, like a big hammer hitting the ground, not like the sound of ghouls running.
"Why is there a sound again? Could it be that another cadaver rat has appeared?"
Uncle Sun said nervously, a little scared. What happened in the lair of the cadaver rats just now had already shocked him completely.
I shook my head and said, "It's not a cadaver rat. It sounds like human footsteps."
"People? ... Could it be Hong Qingzong and those two local scholars?" Uncle Sun said again.
I thought about it and it is really possible.
However, Liu Deshui said, "It shouldn't be Hong Qingzong and his group. If it was them, they wouldn't have made such a big noise. Nine times out of ten, I guess it's those dead zombies."
"The dead soldier zombies were already dead and stiff. Under the influence of corpse qi, their bodies became stiffer than a
The dead are much heavier than normal. And their steps are stiff, so I suspect that the noise was made by the dead zombies. "
I nodded and hurriedly said, "No matter what it is, let's hide first. There are many earthen tunnels here. Let's hide in the farthest one. Once the thing here passes, we can find a way to find the exit of the tomb of King Zhao."
No one had any objections, so we moved quickly and hid in a safe passage.
In the distance, the "trample trample" sound was getting closer and closer.
Soon, a series of dark shadows appeared at the entrance of the passage where the corpse-eating rats had previously run out.
I looked carefully and found that those black shadows were indeed not ghouls, but zombies.
And their number is not small, much more than before.
The zombie in the lead had purple hair on his body and was actually a zombie king.
What was even more strange was that the zombie king was wearing a jade garment made of gold thread. The jade pieces had a little bit of bright color in the dim light, and the texture was uniform.
And the zombie king was wearing a mask on his head.
The mask was actually made of gold, revealing only the mouth and a pair of dark eye sockets. The sharp teeth protruded from its mouth and protruded from its gums.
I was shocked, as I had confirmed that this zombie king was the owner of the tomb of King Zhao, the King Zhao.
Suddenly, I thought of the huge cadaver rat again.
I wondered why the ghoul rat didn't chase us. It turned out that it had anticipated that the zombie king would lead the dead zombies to its lair. So, in its mind, it thought that the zombie king would kill us.
If that's the case, that giant cadaver rat is really cunning!
The Zombie King appeared at the fork in the road, and suddenly stopped walking, looking around with his eyes as black as ink.
After looking for a while, it seemed that nothing was discovered.
Soon, a series of sounds came out of his mouth, as if he was talking to himself.
After muttering, the zombie king led those dead zombies and rushed towards the location of the ghoul rat's nest at an incredible speed.
The sound of "tramp tramp" continued, and thick smoke was already billowing at the fork in the road, as if thousands of troops had just passed by.
"Tianyi, the man wearing the golden jade robe and the golden mask must be the King of Zhao!"
Liu Deshui's eyes flashed and he spoke in a low voice.
I saw fear in his eyes.
I confirmed, "Yes, the man with the golden mask is King Zhao. He has become a zombie king, with purple hair all over his body. It is impossible to burn this kind of zombie even with Hellfire."
Liu Deshui thought for a moment and said, "In this case, let's stay away from him. Let's go find Master Jiang as soon as possible."
But at this point, Liu Deshui paused and said, "But I think Master Jiang is in great danger. The Zombie King is very powerful, and we ghost-catching Taoist priests cannot handle him. No matter how powerful Master Jiang is, his chances of surviving are slim."
Although Liu Deshui spoke in a pessimistic tone, I don't blame him because what he said was the truth.
That zombie king is indeed very powerful.
When Sun Xiaoli heard what Liu Deshui said, she felt a little unwilling.
She snorted and said angrily, "No, I don't believe my grandfather is dead. He is so powerful, he must be alive and well. I believe he is hiding somewhere in the tomb of King Zhao."
Uncle Sun Yaowen didn't say anything. He was more mature than Xiaoli and wouldn't say such words out of anger.
I thought about it and said, "Let's leave this place first. While King Zhao is looking for those corpse-eating rats, we should quickly look for the real passage of the tomb and try to find the entrance of the passage as soon as possible. By then, we will know whether my master Jiang Jiuzhen is alive or not."
Without hesitation, the four of us
The man went straight into the passage along the direction where the Zombie King had just rushed over.
Maybe it's because those ghoul rats and dead zombies passed by here not long ago, so there is still a foul smell in the passage.
There were even some pieces of meat and bones scattered inside the passage.
I think that if those dead zombies can come out from this side, it must lead to the other side of the tomb of King Zhao. If we follow this path, it should be easier to find the tomb.
After that, we quickly moved along this path.
The height of the passage is not high, you need to lower your head slightly to pass through.
But after walking for more than ten minutes, I noticed that a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of us.
The black shadow was suspended in the air, floating towards us like a black ribbon. If I hadn't had the "spirit" in my eyes, it would have been difficult to spot it.
"Stop, there's something ahead!"
I lowered my voice and spoke solemnly.
Uncle Sun and Xiao Li hid directly behind me, and Master Liu protected them at the back.
We fell silent, and the shadow was getting closer and closer.
The black shadow exuded a cold aura, and it turned out to be a ghost.
I turned my body slightly and pulled out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword from the side of the cloth bag.
My hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, ready to attack the ghost unexpectedly as soon as it came close.
Otherwise, it would be very timid to deal with a ghost in such a narrow passage.
However, the ghost suddenly stopped about ten meters away from us.
"Big brother, is that you?"
A familiar voice came from the distance. It was the voice of the troublemaker Duoduo.
Damn, it turned out to be Duoduo. It seems that my nerves have become sensitive and suspicious since entering the tomb of King Zhao. If I had sensed it carefully just now, I might have been able to confirm that it was the troublemaker Duoduo.
I hurriedly asked Xiaoli to turn on the flashlight, and sure enough, a small figure appeared in front of us.
It was the troublemaker Duoduo.
"Duoduo, is that you? I thought it was another ghost and didn't sense it carefully just now." I said apologetically.
Duoduo was happy and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, big brother. Duoduo doesn't blame you. But Duoduo wants to tell you a good news. I have found the exit of this tomb."
This statement surprised me.
"Really? Duoduo, have you found my grandfather?" Xiao Li asked impatiently, with a worried look on his face.
Duoduo shook her head and said, "Sister Xiaoli, I didn't find your grandfather. I just went a little deeper into the tomb, but I didn't find your grandfather. I was afraid that you would be worried because you couldn't find the way, so I hurried back here."
I nodded and praised Duoduo, "Duoduo, good job. You helped big brother again. Come on, take us there now. We just met the Zombie King, the owner of this tomb. We have to hurry to the entrance of the tomb to find my master Jiang Jiuzhen."
"Okay, big brother, I'll take you there now... Let's go!"
As Duoduo spoke, her soul flew deeper into the passage.
In order to speed up, Master Liu and I controlled the Yin De Qi and started the Gangbu.
We followed Duoduo in front of us, turned several corners in the passage, and walked for more than 20 minutes, when suddenly a stone door appeared in front of us.
The stone door was half open and looked very heavy, probably weighing several thousand pounds.
"We're here! Big brother, after passing this stone door, there is a cave room in front. There are many interesting things placed in it."
Anything fun?!
But when I passed through the stone gate and saw those things, I was stunned. They were not interesting things at all. They were clearly treasures from the tomb.
