Chapter 372 I suggested swimming across
Behind Hei Xiazi, Zhang Qiling and ten disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect descended into the passage together.
Once everyone had arrived, they were all shocked by what they saw; these zongzi were typical wet zongzi.
A "wet palm" refers to a corpse whose flesh is not shriveled and whose flesh is still clearly visible.
In the business of tomb raiding, people usually avoid such corpses because they have a very high chance of turning into zombies.
The fat corpses stood side by side, completely blocking the way and leaving no room for anyone to step.
"Honey, how do we get across?"
Huo Ling's small face was hidden under a veil, but even so, her furrowed brows could be seen.
"I suggest swimming over there. Look how slippery they are; just one sprint and you're good to go."
Then lie flat on your stomach, and with the momentum, you'll paddle across in a flash!
Hei Xiazi gestured with his hand to mimic a gliding motion.
Cheng Feng looked at Hei Xiazi in astonishment. "Damn, what a talent! I'd drink a whole bottle for his thought process."
“The blind man is right. Let’s swim over there. You set an example and we’ll follow.”
Cheng Feng, demonstrating his respect for his subordinates' opinions, immediately stepped aside, signaling Hei Xiazi to come forward and take over the stage.
Black Bear's smile faltered for a moment, then he coughed and said:
"I was just joking because the atmosphere was too tense. I'll just follow orders!"
After saying that, Hei Xiazi turned around and walked back to Zhang Qiling's side, where he and the mute man began to cosplay as wooden figures.
The group looked at Hei Xiazi with a mixture of amusement and exasperation; this guy really could be quite unserious at times.
"It's probably impossible to row across, but we can walk across."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng opened his Boundless Demon Eyes, and instantly a large amount of silvery-white Naiqiong Divine Ice began to emerge continuously from the void.
Everyone quickly understood Cheng Feng's plan.
Since this stuff is greasy, slippery, and difficult to walk on, why not just freeze it?
"It has to be the boss! This idea is brilliant, ingenious, absolutely amazing!"
Black Bear stood aside, acting as the mood-maker.
As the first batch of Naiqiong Divine Ice gathered, it transformed into a flowing silver river, rushing towards the large number of fat corpses ahead.
Instantly, a net-like pattern of ice formed on the surface of the fat corpse at the front, and a chilling aura began to emerge in large quantities.
Perhaps the frozen fat corpse in front alerted the entire horde of corpses.
Instantly, the obese corpses that were not frozen began to fluctuate, wriggling forward like fat maggots.
This triggered a chain reaction, within Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi's field of vision.
Deep within the passage, it began to rise and fall like a wave of flesh, moving forward at an extremely slow pace.
"I swear I won't eat fatty meat for almost a year."
Huo Ling covered her mouth, trying to suppress the nausea caused by the visual pollution, and said.
Chen Wenjin and the others also frowned, disgusted by the greasy scene before them.
"These ahead are frozen solid, let's go."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng walked towards the frozen fat corpse without changing his expression.
Seeing this, everyone could only suppress their discomfort and follow Cheng Feng up onto the frozen corpse.
Thanks to the freezing strength of the Naiqiong Divine Ice, the corpse underfoot remained relatively intact.
Instead of being trampled by Cheng Feng's group of a dozen or so people, Cheng Feng maintained his Boundless Demon Eye state as he moved forward.
It can be said that the ice of the poor god cannot be cut off, and it needs to be continuously paved for everyone ahead.
And so, the group began to move forward in the passage at a normal pace.
We passed through many side paths along the way, and they were all crawling with fat, ancient corpses.
However, with Cheng Feng leading the way, the group wasn't afraid of going the wrong way.
"At this speed, we can reach the vicinity of the snow mountain in about three hours, which is several times faster than walking on the ground."
Walking at the front of the group, Cheng Feng spoke softly to the three women behind him.
"Only someone like you could manage this; anyone else would have been completely overwhelmed."
Chen Wenjin stepped on the frozen belly of the ancient corpse. Through the thin frost, he could clearly see the oil that had flowed halfway down the belly.
After shivering, Chen Wenjin quickly looked away.
At the rear of the group, Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi followed steadily with the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect.
One of them had a stern face, his gaze as still as a stagnant pool, revealing no emotion; the other looked relaxed, radiating ease from within.
But upon closer inspection, it can be seen that both of their bodies are in a state where they can exert force at any time.
In this underground passage of unknown depth, especially with countless rice dumplings underfoot, who would dare to be truly heartless?
At this moment, Cheng Feng, who was ahead, changed his expression, then stopped and turned around, saying:
"Blind man, Old Zhang, something's following us."
Upon hearing Cheng Feng's reminder, Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling each reacted differently.
Zhang Qiling took two steps forward, his usually stagnant eyes suddenly rippled, revealing a hidden sharpness.
Unlike Zhang Qiling's head-on confrontational attitude, Hei Xiazi was much more cunning.
This fellow was holding a short knife in one hand and resting his other hand on a bamboo tube containing thirty Dapu ghost insects that Cheng Feng had provided.
No, there are only twenty-nine left now. One was wasted on the experiment with Little Blackie.
Soon, Hei Xiazi saw what Cheng Feng had mentioned; it was the same kind of creature as the little black bear that had been burned earlier.
Or perhaps, it's a strange rice dumpling formed from the corpses of the Zhang family members.
"Old Zhang, even though these are all your relatives, don't hold back when you go down!"
Hei Xiazi raised the corner of his mouth, preparing for battle while not forgetting to tease Zhang Qiling.
Thanks to their highly flexible bodies, the little black cats are very fast.
In the blink of an eye, they were within three meters of the two of them.
Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi made their moves almost simultaneously, tacitly choosing their respective opponents.
Zhang Qiling slashed his sword, blocking the two little black creatures, and then skillfully maneuvered to fight them.
Black Bear twirled his short sword in his hand before simply and directly stabbing it into the body of the last remaining little black bear.
Knowing its characteristics beforehand, Hei Xiazi did not try to take credit. He simply stabbed it once to stop it, and then used the dodging motion to pull the knife out.
Turning around, I saw that the slash had no effect on Xiao Heizi.
Black Bear tightened his grip on the bamboo basket on his back; carrying this thing was somewhat hindering his performance.
After hastily parrying a few of Xiao Heizi's attacks, Hei Xiazi kicked Xiao Heizi in the chin, denting his entire face.
She then staggered back a few steps, smoothly placing the bamboo basket in front of Chen Wenjin.
"Put it down for now, I'll carry it on my back later."
After saying this hastily, Black Bear rushed back again.
This time he was much more agile, handling the small black cat with ease.
In just a few exchanges, he used his short knife to cut several wounds on Xiao Heizi's body.
"Old Cheng, we can't let the brothers help out with Zhang Qiling's side."
Chen Wenjin saw Zhang Qiling constantly using the wall to dodge and weave, trying to outmaneuver the two little black cats, and he looked rather disheveled.
"These two ancient python corpses can't do anything to him. Helping him will only cause him trouble."
