Chapter 43 Where did you come from?
Cheng Feng walked out of the side chamber and into the more spacious tomb passage.
The ground and walls here are made of blue bricks, and the surface of the blue bricks seems to be coated with a secret medicine.
It has been underwater for so many years without showing any signs of water erosion.
The dragon head decorations above the tomb passage show that Wang Zanghai was definitely an outlier at the time.
Ancient people had great awe of imperial power, and no one except the royal family dared to use dragons as decorations in their tombs.
Wang Zanghai did not shy away from these things, which shows that he did not actually have much reverence for the emperor.
"The design here is truly ingenious. The tomb chamber is constantly moving due to the flow of water, and it hasn't malfunctioned all these years."
Finding the side chamber where the drought demon is located quickly will require a bit of luck.
We walked along the tomb passage for a while, avoiding several particularly obvious traps.
Then Cheng Feng arrived at another side room, which was arranged the same as the side room he had come from.
There were many porcelain bottles and pottery jars on display, and there was a puddle in the corner of the wall as a passageway.
Inside the tomb chamber, the Pure Vision Agamas were crawling around; some went into the water pit, and some left the side chamber.
Just as Cheng Feng turned to leave, he suddenly smelled a stench of corpses.
Cheng Feng turned his head and saw a child's hand sticking out from the bottom of a pottery jar that was about half a person's height.
Perhaps sensing Cheng Feng's gaze, it quickly withdrew.
"This little thing is not very brave but has a lot of curiosity."
Cheng Feng sighed and then left the side room.
This little gadget is a type of puppet.
It is timid and harmless, and may even guide tomb raiders.
It would be even happier if the tomb raiders dismantled the tomb's owner.
The secret techniques of moving mountains record that if a puppet is encountered in a tomb, it can accompany the tomb's occupant to the main tomb and damage the corpse of the tomb's owner.
"Puppet" means celebration.
When you come out of this side room, there is now an entrance where the path you came from was originally a wall.
This time, Cheng Feng found the right place.
This side chamber had no waterway; only a huge coffin was placed in the center of the tomb.
The northwest corner contained burial goods, most of which were essential bottles and jars.
In the southeast corner, however, there is a cat, which has been mummified and is sitting in a crouching position facing the coffin.
This is a feng shui arrangement; cats are considered yin and have spiritual abilities.
A coffin placed facing northwest (northeast) is an extremely inauspicious sign, bringing financial loss and harm to the family.
After a moment's thought, Cheng Feng walked to the southeast corner of the tomb chamber and kicked the mummified cat onto the coffin.
After a few seconds, the cat corpse's limbs began to twitch, and then it stood up as if it had come to life.
It didn't attack Cheng Feng, but instead began frantically digging at the coffin lid with its withered cat claws.
He tried to rush into the coffin.
Seeing that it had struggled for a long time to remove a layer of wood shavings, Cheng Feng decided to help it.
Reaching one end of the coffin, he kicked the coffin lid open with a powerful stomp.
The mummified cat glanced blankly at Cheng Feng, then fell into the coffin.
poof,
After the sound of water splashing, there was no further movement in the tomb.
Cheng Feng covered his nose as he approached the coffin.
The room was filled with bodily fluids, covered with a thick layer of oil, and a huge creature could be vaguely seen inside.
"That bastard Wang Zanghai does nothing but cause trouble like having a son who's born without an anus."
This is a bizarre corpse pieced together from the remains of more than a dozen women. It has more than ten arms and even five breasts.
Her belly was enormous, seemingly pieced together from the bodies of several women, and was bulging and swollen inside.
What was originally conceived should have been a life, that is, a living being.
However, tomb raiders disrupted the layout by digging a hole under the coffin.
This caused the life forms inside to mutate, turning into extremely terrifying drought demons.
The cat in the tomb gave the drought demon its most crucial chance of survival, and it should have awakened by now.
Cheng Feng didn't plan to put this thing into the imaginary space; his little snake probably couldn't do anything to it.
The mission is not complete until the drought demon is dead. Even if it is captured, it will have to be released sooner or later to be dealt with.
Just as Cheng Feng was preparing to deal with the drought demon,
Meanwhile, Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan, who had already reached the core area of the underwater tomb, were ambushed by Qi Yu.
However, Qi Yu underestimated the two of them and was eventually knocked unconscious by their combined efforts.
Wu Sansheng was ruthless by nature, and immediately drew his dagger to kill Qi Yu.
Upon seeing this, Xie Lianhuan quickly stopped Wu Sansheng and said:
"Sansheng, he can't die yet. It's better to hand Qi Yu over to 'it' to deal with him according to the plan."
Wu Sansheng thought for a moment, then put the dagger away and said, "You're right, then let's proceed according to plan."
After saying this, Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan helped the unconscious Qi Yu up.
Just as the two were about to leave, Wu Sansheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he shoved them both violently.
"Watch out, there's a poisonous snake!"
Jie Lianhuan grabbed Qi Yu and rolled him around a few times, then flipped himself up and drew the dagger from his waist.
Several black snakes, their bodies shimmering with red light, were coiled up, staring intently at them.
"What kind of snake is this, Sansheng? Do you remember it?"
Jie Lianhuan pointed the dagger at Jingjian Ahan and spoke in a much softer voice.
Wu Sansheng frowned, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
"This is the guardian of Jingjue Kingdom! I've seen it in the desert before, how did it get here?"
Because he was so shocked, Wu Sansheng's weakness was seen by the Pure Vision Agama.
Several Pure Land Amitabhas suddenly rushed towards Wu Sansheng, startling him so much that he quickly retreated.
In a flash, he brandished his dagger, slicing a Pure Vision Agama in two, while also dodging the attacks of the other snakes.
"Old Jie, quickly shine the flashlight on them; these snakes are afraid of light."
Wu Sansheng had encountered the Pure Vision Agama before, so he understood their weaknesses and quickly, with the help of Jie Lianhuan,
They killed all those Pure Vision Agamas.
"It's unbelievable, even the snakes from the desert have migrated to the sea."
Wu Sansheng collapsed to the ground, drenched in a cold sweat, knowing all too well how terrifying this snake was.
Anyone bitten by a snake would barely survive three seconds; almost his entire team died in the snake's mouth.
So they could only slink away from the gates of the ancient Jingjue Kingdom.
"Sansheng, do you think these snakes might be related to that new member of the archaeological team?"
Jie Lianhuan said thoughtfully.
Wu Sansheng's gaze sharpened.
"It must be him. He's the only one in our archaeological team who has any connection with the Jingjue Kingdom. Could he be one of Qi Yu's accomplices?"
"Never mind that for now, let's go, another snake is coming."
Xie Lianhuan called out, then quickly hoisted Qi Yu onto his shoulder and ran off, with Wu Sansheng covering the rear, shining a flashlight behind them.
Use light to hinder the pursuit of the Pure Vision Agama.
Meanwhile, Cheng Feng, unaware that his little snake was chasing Wu Sansheng everywhere, was harming himself.
Although the Zhanlu sword is sharp, it can only contend with the drought demon after being buffed.
