Although the sound coming from behind me was not loud, it was extremely frightening. At first glance, it sounded like a tomb was opening behind me, and the prison car of the Nether Messenger was rumbling towards me from the cracked tomb. Shaking off the iron rope from behind me, he quietly aimed it at my neck from a high position.
Just as I was about to turn around, Xue Yu roared angrily: "Thunder Mirror, prepare to attack with all your strength... No, experts above the innate level, come with me and rescue Wang Huan."
I don’t know what Xue Yu saw behind me, but I saw him stand up and lead a group of masters to fly over. The coffin that was originally floating near me kept standing upright in the water, looking like a royal guard. Continuously changing positions to block the gap between us, Xue Yu's palm force came through the air. The vast Gang Qi carried the dragon's roar, shuttled like lightning from a few meters away, splitting a coffin into four pieces, and the coffin was several inches thick. Just like a piece of paper flying into the air, endless black energy also burst out from the coffin. As the billowing black energy rolled in the sky, I vaguely saw a figure with a high crown on his head and wearing ancient clothes appearing in the black mist. Stepping on the mist, he strode toward the Detective Hand like a dragon or a tiger.
"Formation!" It was too late for Xue Yuren to retreat in mid-air. In desperation, she waved her arms at the same time, pushing the two masters around her into the air. She took advantage of the situation and flew backwards, and the two detectives The master was caught off guard and collided with the man.
I clearly saw that the two of them were pushed into the air by a soft but strong force just after they made slight contact with their opponents. The two figures were flying backwards but at an extremely slow speed. At first glance, they looked like two people. The human-shaped balloon, which was only flapping by people, gradually moved backwards erratically.
The two of them only flew one meter away, and their bodies began to expand rapidly. They swelled several times in an instant. Not only were their facial features squeezed into a few slits, but even their skin took on a transparent color. In an instant, the two exploded with a loud noise, causing a rain of blood that filled the sky and sprinkled the water. At this moment, the figures in the black mist were walking on blood, striding away towards the camp of the Detective Hand.
From Xue Yu's attack to the killing of two people, to the high-crowned weirdo forcing his way into the formation, it all ended in an instant. Before I could figure out what was happening in front of me, I heard Ling'er shouting: "Behind..."
When I suddenly turned around, I saw a crack that was only half a person's width open on the rock wall. Someone stretched out a hand from the crack and waved to us, apparently intending to let us follow him in.
While we were at a loss what to do, the battle situation changed again. The brilliant light from the Wuming Sect's thunder mirror crisscrossed the cave. The cave was filled with successive flashes, like sharp blades shuttled through the black mist. , the 100-meter water area was divided into several small pieces, and the detective hands intertwined with the mirror array, holding the Immortal Sword in their hands, waiting for the opportunity to move. It won't be long before the two sides' offense and defense reverse.
My eyes moved back and forth between the cracks in the stone and the detective hand twice before I gritted my teeth and said, "Follow me in."
"No!" Ye Xun said urgently: "Didn't you see the dead people in the wall?"
How could I not see that the bloodless human hand in the crack in the wall was not from a living person? Especially the sleeves on her hands were clearly from ancient costume, and they were definitely not a living person waving to me.
But now that things have happened, I feel that I should risk my life to break into that cave: "Believe me, I won't be wrong!"
"Wang Huan," Ye Xun roared angrily: "That is clearly a dead end, why do you insist on going your own way?"
"It's not me..." When I didn't know how to explain it to Ye Xun, Ye Xun said sharply: "How many times have you made a mistake? Why don't you want to listen to someone's advice?"
I looked at the other person for a few seconds, and then suddenly roared: "You can think whatever you want, and go wherever you like. Even if it's a dead end, I'm still willing to go in."
I said a word, jumped up and grabbed the edge of the stone crevice with one hand, and squeezed in sideways. The shaking hand also retracted a few feet at the moment I squeezed into the stone crevice, leading me step by step towards After I followed the opponent's fingertips and moved forward a few steps, I heard Ling'er shouting in front of the crack in the stone: "Wang Huan, Wang Huan, Ye Xun has broken out? What should I do?"
"Ye Xun..." I took a look outside, and sure enough I saw Ye Xun and Li Xiaomao rushing into the enemy group on a rubber raft. Ye Xun was waving his knife to block the opponent, and Li Xiaomao was frequently firing hidden weapons. Several coffins hanging in the air were penetrated in succession. The black air overflowing from the coffins was like dark clouds pressing down on the city. It spread across the sky and pressed toward the water. The coffins floating on the water also exploded in an instant. Countless figures came out of the coffins, covered in black mist. floating on the water, stepping forward in the direction of the detective hand.
In less than a moment, the scene in the water became chaotic, and with my eyesight I could no longer distinguish Ye Xun's position.
After I paused for a few seconds, I shouted sternly: "Ye Xun, take care of yourself! From now on, you and I can take care of ourselves. Ling'er, come up here and don't worry about the outside world."
Ling'er could only jump onto the water and squeeze into the cave sideways, and moved into the cave with me. At first, I could still see the scene in front of me through the firelight shining in from the cracks in the rocks. In less than a moment, everything in front of me became pitch black. Only the palm of my hand looked extremely pale, like a gauze lamp in the darkness, constantly attracting me, a moth, to the light.
I know that if I go further, I will never know whether it will be good or bad, but I can't stop now even if I want to. I can only follow that hand forward step by step. I don't even know how many steps I have taken. The human hand suddenly stopped, and two blood-red light spots appeared behind the human hand at the same time. When I used that ray of light to see what was in front of me clearly, I couldn't help but take a breath.
The first thing I saw was a snake head with golden scales spitting out silky threads. Under the snake head was a human hand hanging in the air. If I saw it correctly, the human hand should have been lifted up in the air by the snake's tail. Or maybe the snake simply had a tail tip that looked like a human hand.
At the moment when cold sweat broke out on my forehead, the red-eyed golden snake had already moved its head and came closer to me. When I got sideways into the crevice between the rocks, I carried my backpack on my left hand. The direction of my right hand was except for the horses blocked by the rocks. Gnan, there is only one dagger left. If I wanted to take action, I could only move my body first and then draw my weapon.
But the golden snake came so fast, and before I could make any further moves, the snake letter bounced to my side. The other party's cool words trembled on my face three times, and I also felt trembling. However, the golden snake showed no intention of stopping, and moved closer to my face inch by inch, moving forward a few feet. The snake letter bounced away along the side of my neck.
Before I had time to take action, I heard Ling'er let out an exclamation. The snake Xinzi must have bounced into Ling'er's face. Just as I was about to take action, the golden snake that was about to touch my face suddenly stepped back a few meters and stood upright. He stood up straight and was a few points taller than me. The snake's head glared at me condescendingly.
Better than a snake
Legend has it that there is a kind of demonic snake. When it sees someone, it will use its tail to support its body and rise steadily, and it will keep making sounds like "I'm high, I'm high..." in its mouth. Once someone is over its height, the other person will bite them in the air. The top of a person's head will swallow him alive.
The legend of the Big Snake flashed through my mind. The golden snake raised its head again and climbed onto something. It clung to the ceiling of the stone crack and slowly swam towards the exit.
After I raised my head and watched the opponent swim a few meters, the golden snake suddenly stopped, opened its mouth and spit out a line of fire, lighting up the fire tank hidden in the cracks in the rocks. Only then did I see the cave sticking out of the cracks in the rocks. From me Now stand and walk forward for about three to five meters, and you will find another open cave. The golden snake hanging above our heads is both a guide and a guard in this cave. It suddenly passed over our heads, presumably to help us block the pursuers.
I didn't know if the golden snake could understand what I meant, so I raised my hand and gave it a thumbs-up, then picked up the bell and quickly squeezed into the cave behind the stone crevice.
"This... is this a dock?" After I stepped into the cave, the first thing I saw was a warship with numerous gun muzzles. Although I couldn't tell which dynasty the ship's manufacturing process belonged to, I could see that there were several Buddhas on the ship. Lang cannon. That kind of artillery was more popular in the Ming Dynasty. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Ming Dynasty warship.
"No, this is a ship tomb!" Ling'er pointed to the flagpole of the warship and said: "Look at the skull and crossbones flag hanging upside down. In addition to being the symbol of pirates, the skull and crossbones flag also symbolizes bringing death to the opponent. If the skull is turned upside down To come here is to show that you are bringing death upon yourself. Such a ship is the grave of a pirate captain."
I looked at Linger and said, "Foreign pirates also pay attention to burials?"
In my opinion, Europeans don’t value their cemeteries, at least not as much as Chinese people do. Besides, the result of leaving a graveyard for a pirate is to tell his colleagues to come and lay waste to him. No matter how little pirates don't pay attention to their own affairs, they won't be so lenient, right
Ling'er shook her head and said: "It can be said that the ship tombs in Europe originated from the Tulip family. The largest ship tomb of the Tulip family, the number of slaves buried alone reached 300, which caused a sensation among the pirates. Many pirates are attacking there. The idea of a ship tomb, but in the end, they disappeared along with the ship tomb floating on the sea. That incident also created the maritime legend of the Tulip family."
I said in a deep voice: "When did that ship grave happen?"
"According to the records in the family diary, the fifth-generation patriarch of the Tulip family is buried in the ship tomb. After her death, the Tulip family began to transform the family business and gradually became a noble. She was the second pirate captain to reach the East. . However, there is no record of what she did in the East in the family diary."
I looked up at the warship that was several meters high: "Do you know how to enter the ship grave?"
"I only know how to navigate the Tulip family ship tomb!" Ling'er said: "It is said that the method of opening each ship tomb is different. If you go to the wrong place..."
