Fake Taoist Priest

Chapter 582: There are many forks in the road

Views:

You know, the explosion just now was quite violent, but the zombie king Zhao Wang only lost a little corpse gas, and did not suffer any damage on his body. This surprised me.

However, I will not take action, because in my opinion, neither the pair of tomb robbers nor Hong Qingzong are good people.

Soon, ** carried the bag of treasures and walked towards Hong Qingzong and Hu Laifeng.

At this time, Hu Laifeng was much calmer, and he kept using the ink line in his hand to kill the surrounding zombies. The same was true for Hong Qingzong.

The two of them were completely unaware of the zombie king, King Zhao, curled up above the ear chamber.

"Let's go, this place is already in chaos, we can't stay here any longer!"

** came close to Hu Laifeng and Hong Qingzong and spoke in a solemn voice.

"Okay, go over there. There is a road there that should lead to the main tomb chamber!" Hong Qingzong reminded.

But just as the three of them were fighting off the zombies and rushing towards me.

But I found that the zombie king, King Zhao, was ready to take action.

The corpse energy on King Zhao's body slowly gathered, his head tilted, and his red eyes stared at **.

It seems that **'s move just now also caused some intimidation to the Zombie King Zhao Wang.

Just when the three of them walked a few steps away quickly, I noticed that the zombie king, King Zhao, started to move.

I know he's going to attack!

Although I didn't have a good impression of the tomb robber couple and Hong Qingzong, those were three lives after all, and I couldn't bear to let them die here.

So I shouted in a serious voice: "Be careful! The zombie king is still alive, right above your heads."

The sudden voice startled ** and his son. Hong Qingzong also subconsciously stopped and looked towards me.

"You are... Yang Tianyi?!" Hong Qingzong asked in surprise.

At this time, the zombie king, King Zhao, had already leaped down from the air and pounced towards **.

**Just when he raised his head after hearing my voice, the Zombie King Zhao Wang had already landed on him.

**'s body was like a weak straw, and was directly crushed to the ground. Then, the sharp claws of the King of Zhao reached out to grab **'s head.

"Puff!"

The guy's head was pierced by the zombie king's sharp claws.

** fell to the ground, his body twitched a few times, and he died instantly.

"Ah... It's still alive. The Zombie King is not dead... Dad!"

Hu Laifeng saw his father ** being killed by the Zombie King in front of him, and he let out a creepy cry.

But it was useless, the guy was already dead, and when the Zombie King pulled out his sharp claws, all the brains and blood spilled out and stuck to the hair.

Damn it, they didn't defend themselves when I reminded them just now. Now someone is dead, it's that guy's fate.

Without paying attention to all that, I had already spoken, and the zombie king, King Zhao, had already discovered me.

So, I have to escape now.

Then, without paying any attention to anything else, I stepped on the Seven Star Steps and rushed towards the stone door on the south side of the ear chamber.

I am very fast and agile, like a monkey.

Behind me, I heard footsteps and the roar of zombies.

It is obvious that those dead zombies and the zombie king Zhao Wang have launched another attack on Hu Laifeng and Hong Qingzong.

I rushed out of the ear chamber quickly and saw Master Liu and others.

I hurriedly said, "Hurry up! There are dead zombies behind us."

Liu Deshui listened to what I said and rushed towards me with Xiaoli and Uncle Sun.

When he came closer to me, Liu Deshui had already heard the screams of the dead zombies in the ear chamber.

Without further ado, I took Xiao Li with me, Liu Deshui took Uncle Sun, and the four of us quickly headed towards the main tomb chamber.

go.

Now, the tomb's exit has been blocked by stone slabs and soil, and we can't get through at all. There are several doors in the side chamber, but there are zombie kings and dead zombies there, so we can't rush through.

If we go over there, it would be fine for Master Liu and I, but Uncle Sun and Xiao Li, who don't know any magic, would probably die there.

So, we had no choice but to run to the main room first.

Our speed was pretty good, and soon a space appeared in front of us.

There was light in the space, but it was not firelight or flashlight.

The light was a little dim, but it could barely illuminate the front.

Suddenly, we entered that space.

Originally, I thought this would be the main tomb chamber of King Zhao's Tomb, which must be magnificent and golden.

But after entering, I found that it was completely different from what I had imagined. It was just a single earth cave.

A number of earth holes appeared opposite the cave.

Those earth caves were similar to the ones we had passed before, and no one knew where they led to.

And on the walls surrounding the cave, I actually saw bright beads.

Those beads turned out to be night-shining pearls.

Yes, it is the Night Pearl! A kind of pearl that can glow at night.

This kind of thing only existed in ancient times and is no longer seen today. It should be because the craftsmanship has not been mastered by modern people. Otherwise, this kind of beads can be found in many places.

"Oh my God, is this the legendary night pearl? It's so big and so bright!" Uncle Sun said with emotion, his face full of excitement.

There is a night pearl embedded in the wall, several meters high.

The energy of good deeds surged in my feet, and I suddenly pushed one foot against the earth wall. With the force, my body suddenly leaped forward.

All of a sudden, my hand touched the night pearl.

I clenched my right hand and pulled it outwards hard, and immediately, the night pearl was caught in my hand.

Holding the night pearl, I looked at it and thought it was a treasure, so I temporarily put it in the cloth bag.

"Tianyi, take a few more. This thing is a treasure, it must be worth a lot of money."

A greedy look appeared on Uncle Sun's face again.

I ignored him and said hurriedly, "Let's go, there's no time to lose, we need to save our lives first. We need to stay away from those zombies and the zombie king, King Zhao."

Liu Deshui nodded and looked at the holes in the ground with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

I think he was thinking about which hole to enter.

But we have no choice now. Behind us, we heard shouts of "Uh uh" and footsteps in the corridor.

There was even the sound of Hu Laifeng yelling angrily. Needless to say, Hu Laifeng and Hong Qingzong were also coming here, and those dead zombies and the zombie king Zhao Wang would definitely come here as well.

Damn it, there is really no choice now. I can only pick a path at random.

"Let's go and choose any one. Otherwise, the Zombie King will catch up with us." I said hurriedly.

Liu Deshui obviously didn't figure out where those holes led to.

We hurriedly ran towards the cave.

After I ran over, I discovered that there were streams of corpse gas pouring out from the entrance of each hole.

The corpse gas carried a foul smell and was a bit cold, just as strong as ghost energy.

"Tianyi, what should we do? Which path should we choose?"

Sun Yaowen asked me in a trembling voice.

These earth holes were plain and looked very similar, as if they were deliberately built here.

Damn it, this must be something that the zombie king, King Zhao, came up with.

Previously, I suspected that the appearance of King Zhao was related to the land of corpses. Now that so much corpse gas has emerged from every earth hole, I am even more convinced.

Maybe one of these earth holes could lead to the land of corpses.

.

Of course, it is also possible that it leads to the main tomb chamber of King Zhao's Tomb.

The sound from the entrance of the earth cave corridor was getting closer and closer.

Without further hesitation, I chose the path on the far left and said to the three people, "Let's go, this is it. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God, this time it all depends on luck. If the opportunity is right, maybe we can escape."

Liu Deshui had no objection either.

Then, our group of four chose the cave on the left.

The corpse gas in the cave was still so heavy, so I gave five "dispersing talismans" to Xiaoli and Uncle Sun respectively.

Although the rune of this kind of dispersing qi talisman is simple, it can help resist the erosion of a certain amount of corpse qi or ghost qi.

It is similar to the nature of a talisman. If the corpse qi wants to invade a person's body, it must first corrode the dispersing qi talisman.

Five Qi-dispersing talismans can protect a person for about two incense sticks of time.

Unexpectedly, soon after we entered the cave, skeletons appeared in front of us.

The skeletons were scattered in the cave, with no flesh on them, and they looked shiny white, as if the flesh had been scraped off with a knife.

However, there were some scraps of cloth and even some things like chisels, shovels, pickaxes, etc. scattered next to the skeletons.

There were even daily utensils such as bowls and pots among those things, but it seemed that neither the shovel nor the porcelain bowl was made with modern craftsmanship.

"Whose bones are these? ... Hey, why are these iron tools so rotten?" Sun Yaowen asked me puzzled.

I couldn’t figure it out either.

On the contrary, Liu Deshui thought for a moment and said, "If I am not mistaken, these skeletons should be the bodies of the ancient craftsmen who dug the tomb of King Zhao. There are such examples in history, saying that some ancient craftsmen helped emperors, princes, or nobles to dig tombs, and were brutally killed. The purpose is to prevent these craftsmen and laborers from leaking the secrets of the tomb."

I think Liu Deshui is right. In all likelihood, these skeletons belong to the craftsmen and laborers.

But if that's really the case, then they are really miserable.

"Let's go, don't delay. Master Jiang hasn't been found yet, so we'd better find a way to hide and then find a chance to leave the tomb."

Liu Deshui said.

I immediately waved my hand and said, "Let's go on inside."

Then, we quickened our pace and walked quickly inside.

But after walking for nearly half an hour, there was still a dirt hole in front of us, without any change.

This feels wrong to me.

The mischievous Duoduo followed us all the time. She said, "Big brother, why don't you wait here first. I'll go deeper inside to take a look. My speed is much faster than yours. Besides, your physical strength is limited. You are tired after walking for so long."

Duoduo's suggestion was good. I nodded and said, "Okay, Duoduo, be careful and go ahead to explore the way."

"Okay, big brother, I'll go then."

The soul flashed and Duoduo rushed into the cave.

Xiaoli leaned against the earth wall, breathing heavily and looking very tired.

I took out some water from my cloth bag and handed it to her.

Xiaoli smiled, took the water and took a sip.

Fortunately, those dead zombies and the zombie king did not enter the cave. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome.

We huddled together, waiting for the troublemaker Duoduo to return.

After more than ten minutes, Duoduo came back.

I hurriedly asked, "How is it, Duoduo, did you find anything?"

Duoduo nodded and said happily, "I have found something! ... Big brother, there are many forks in the road ahead, and there is also a deep well overflowing with corpse qi. I found this next to the deep well!"

As she spoke, Duoduo held up something.
