Chapter 308.

Chapter 308.

Hearing this question, Qian You immediately came into the spirit, he coughed a few times forcefully to attract the attention of the gang brothers and said:

“Gangmaster, brothers, I’ve brought help for you. Don’t worry everyone, we’ll be able to get out soon.”

The crowd rejoiced at the words and said excitedly, “Is it the Gongsun Family of the Xiangzhou martial arts? Or is it the Dragon God Fortress on the banks of the Blackwater River?”

“If it’s these two, we’ll be saved this time.”

“Yes. The head of the Gongsun Family is a Fifth Grade, and he has a lot of experts under his hand, and there is no shortage of good people who are proficient in the arts of the Left Path. Dragon God Fort is even stronger. But both of these forces are not eating well, I’m afraid that we don’t have our share of the contents of the tomb and will have to pay an astronomical amount of compensation.”

“Larded up aren’t you? What’s the use of money when your life is gone. As long as we can be saved and get out, everything will be fine.”

The Sickness Gang Leader exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and nodded, “Qian You, you’ve done a good job.”

Qian You was silent for a long time, and with an odd expression, he said, “I… The help I’m looking for isn’t the Gongsun Family, nor is it the Dragon God Castle.”

“What?”

There was a wave of disappointment in the crowd, and the excitement vanished without a trace.

The Gongsun family and the Dragon God’s Castle are the most powerful martial arts forces in the vicinity of Xiangcheng, and they play closely with the Xiangcheng government, and many of the Jianghu masters are dependent on them.

If there was anyone else in Xiangcheng who could save them, it was none other than the two forces.

The hopeful light in the eyes of the sick man’s gang leader dimmed.

The white-robed deputy gang leader opened his mouth and asked, “It’s not the Dragon God Castle nor the Gongsun Family, so what grade and status is the helper you hired, a casual cultivator, or one with a sect background?”

The deputy gang leader is called Gong Yang Su, a warlock, and it is known that, apart from the Si Tian Supervisor, there are as many casual warlocks in the Jianghu as there are phoenixes.

Warlocks can look for qi and specialize in geomancy, and they are simply born grave robbers. Therefore, Gong Yang Su is the treasure of the Houtu Gang. Although he is the vice master of the gang, the whole gang listens to him very much.

As soon as Gong Yang Su spoke, the crowd immediately quieted down and looked at Qian You.

“Coincidentally, those helpers were the ones I happened to meet by the roadside, but they seem to be looking for someone as well .” Helmsman Qian You looked towards the Southern Border’s Little Barbarian Girl and lamented:

“Lina girl, they’re here for you.”

The crowd then looked to the young girl from the southern border, and Lina, who was struggling to deal with the burrito, looked up, the corners of her mouth stained with crumbs and a confused expression.

“It’s my first time in Daebong, and my clan didn’t come with me.” Lina shook her head, indicating that she was alone and wooden to have friends.

Qian You explained, “The one I met was a martial artist of the Sixth Grade Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm, extremely handsome in appearance, carrying a cloaked woman on his back”

Before he could finish his sentence, Lina shook her head in a huff, “I don’t recognize it.”

“But they were indeed looking for you, and asked me if there were any girls from the Southern Border among the people who went down to the tomb, and I searched for a girl from the Southern Border, and I realized that you’re the only one from the Southern Border in Xiangcheng who’s been around for a while.”

The Sickness Gang Leader frowned, he didn’t think that Lina would hide or be sophomoric in this matter, first of all, this girl was simple and naive, without a heart.

Secondly, we are in a desperate situation, it is the time to be in the same boat, who does not want to get out earlier, it is meaningless to hide this at this time.

In the end, if this girl had a friend who was a sixth grade martial artist in Da Feng, why did she suffer from starving for three days and three nights? If it wasn’t for the fact that he had treated her to a meal, she would have been ready to rob the house.

Thinking of this, the Sickness Gang Leader mused, “Didn’t you say there were several people, detail the characteristics of the other ones.”

Qian You nodded his head and said, “Apart from that man and woman, there is also a big, stout, fierce-looking monk; a swordsman in a green shirt who can fly with his sword, truly a divine means.”

“Flying with a sword?” The Sick Man’s Gang Leader was shocked, he had never heard of a martial artist being able to fly with a sword.

“Do you recognize it.” Ramsus looked at Lina.

The little barbarian chick from the Southland shook her head, “I don’t recognize it.”

You really don’t know her? This, how is this possible, the warrior and his companions are looking for Miss Lina . Wistful of doubt, Qian You continued:

“There is another Taoist Master, whom I have heard the others refer to as the Golden Lotus Taoist Master.”

“Daoist Golden Lotus?!”

Lina suddenly squealed with joy and said repeatedly, “Recognize recognize, Daoist Master Golden Lotus is a very trusted senior of mine . Oooh, Daoist Master Golden Lotus has come to me, Daoist Master Golden Lotus is really a great person.”

So we know each other. The crowd was relieved.

So it seems that the one who really knew Lina was that Golden Lotus Taoist priest, and the rest of the people were helpers the Taoist priest had found.

The big, burly bald man would be the martial monk Heng Yuan, or number six . The green-shirted swordsman flying with a sword is number four, hmmm, the battle of the celestials is around the corner, who is the handsome sixth grade martial artist in the capital now that he is here? Our Heaven and Earth Association has this number? Lina’s not-so-smart brain spun rapidly, matching the “friends” that Qian You had mentioned.

But I can’t figure out who “a man and a woman” are.

“Lina girl.”

A gang member’s face was agitated and his eyes were glowing as he looked at her, “Those friends of yours, what is their cultivation level?”

Lina’s character was simple and answered any questions, “Daoist Golden Lotus is an expert of the Earth Sect, I’m not sure exactly how many grades, but it’s definitely much, much stronger than me.”

Images of power tearing zombies with their hands and fighting man-eating monsters came to the minds of the crowd, and that Golden Lotus Taoist Master was even more powerful than her, so their hearts were on fire and filled with hope.

“The bald monk is a Buddhist martial arts monk and his cultivation is also very powerful.”

Lina didn’t know much about Hengyuan and directly skipped over it, continuing, “If the green-shirted swordsman is concerned, his name is Chu Yuanzhuan, one of the protagonists of the Heavenly Man Contest, representing the Human Sect to fight the Heavenly Sect’s Holy Maiden.”

“What?!”

The crowd gasped out in shock, and the Sicko Gang Leader was dumbfounded.

Xiangzhou is not far from the capital, and it’s only a three or four day’s ride on horseback. The dispute between the celestials and the humans has long been spread to the boundaries of the capital, as well as to the neighboring states.

As far as the Xiangcheng martial arts forest is concerned, there are many jianghu people who have gone to the capital city, intending to watch the event of the Heavenly Man’s Battle, even though it is only a fight to the death between the juniors of the Human Sect and the Heavenly Sect.

Now, unexpectedly, they heard that one of the protagonists of the “Celestial War” had come down from the tomb to save them.

The mood of the crowd of the Houtu Gang was as if an old farmer in a ridge heard that the Emperor was coming to help him plant his rice seedlings.

So fantastic that it calls into question the authenticity.

But this is what Lina said, Lina’s character they all know, a naive and kind girl, no heart, treats people warmly, can’t lie.

However, that doesn’t mean she’s a fool; the Backwoods Gang once witnessed the party as a jungle man recruited to explore the graveyard together took advantage of the night to try to defile her.

As a result, Lina girl swung up and slapped that head, and it exploded like a watermelon.

If you dare to travel all the way from the southern border to the capital, you won’t be able to walk to Xiangcheng without a few brushes.

“An expert from the Earth Sect, a martial monk from the Buddhist Sect, and a disciple from the Human Sect in the Heavenly Human Contest .” A member of the Back Earth Gang swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard and looked excited:

“So, what is that man and woman again? Who are they? To be traveling with these people, they must be big names, right, Miss Lina?”

An excited gaze looked over, expecting to hear a dazzling name from her lips.

Lina cocked her head, thought for a moment, and said, “I don’t recognize it.”

That’s such a disappointing answer the crowd said.

At this time, Qian You coughed and asked, “Gang Master, you just said that there are monsters hunting you, what kind of monsters are those?”

“The shape is similar to a huge lizard, but with a human face and a mouth full of fangs, moving extremely fast, yet noiselessly.” The Sickness Gang Leader’s eyes flashed with fear as he whispered:

“It delights in entrails, but all those it kills have their limbs intact and their entrails are indeed empty.”

This is not right, the body I saw, the lower half of the body was bitten off. Qianyou’s heart sank, and he asked, “What about the size?”

“The body is about seven feet long, not too big.”

At that moment, Lina’s ears twitched, catching a hint of an unusual sound in the silent darkness, and she instinctively rose to her feet and drank, “Watch out, it’s coming again.”

As the words fell, a shadow sprang out of the darkness, and with a flick of its tongue, it curled around the nearest member of the Backlands Gang, about to roll him away.

Bang!

At the sound of the floor tiles crumbling, Lina rushed out like a cannonball, slamming hard into the dark figure.

The moment the cunt was knocked off its feet, it threw its tail and lashed Lina’s back, and with a crisp sound, the shirt on her back disintegrated, exposing her delicate skin and seeping out fine beads of blood.

The netherworld was suddenly silent after being knocked away, as if it had retreated.

But Lina didn’t let her guard down, listening intently as she did so, catching hints of what was going on around her.

“Everyone be careful, this evil creature is very cunning, be careful not to let it sneak up on us.”

The Sicko gang leader drew his weapon and stood at attention with his gang.

In the past few days, the Backwoods Gang’s members had died one after another, and had allowed those who survived to figure out the monsters’ temperaments.

That evil thing didn’t dare to fight hard against Miss Lina and often hid in the darkness waiting for a chance to sneak up on them.

One strike and you’re gone immediately.

Lina slowly backed up and snatched the torch from Qianyou’s hand with her chopping hand, her delicate and cute face was covered with seriousness, she held the torch and listened for a moment, then suddenly threw it.

As the firelight wavered, the crowd saw a huge lizard-like monster, attached to the wall, with two gray-brown eyes growing on either side, slightly dull and seemingly insensitive to light.

Qian You got a good look at the monster for the first time, it was less than ten feet long, its tail was as long as its body, and its body was covered with thick horns.

The moment the firelight hit the monster, the fed Lina showed a powerful burst of energy as she wordlessly bent her knees and suddenly bounced, her figure disappearing before the sound of crunching bricks at her feet could be heard.

The monster attached to the wall sensed the abnormality, and its body shifted and disappeared.

Lina, who has rich hunting experience in the southern border, is in hot pursuit, one person and one thing are competing in the chamber, and in a short while, there is the sound of “thumping” and the hissing of the monster; Lina’s reprimanding sound.

Finally, all is calm.

“Rei, Lina girl?”

The Sicko gang leader forced his voice not to tremble.

In the dead silence came Lina’s moan, “It hurts.”

Immediately afterward, she stepped out of the darkness, dragging the monster’s body in her hands.

Cheers exploded as the members of the Backwoods Gang burst into tears of surprise, yelling to vent the pent-up feelings in their hearts.

The crisis that had plagued them for many days had, by now, finally been lifted.

Lina dropped the corpse of the cunt in front of the crowd and gleefully said, “Is it edible?”

I don’t dare to eat it I don’t dare to eat it The crowd of the Backwoods Gang shook their heads in succession.

“Miss Lina, this thing grows in tombs, eating poisonous rotting flesh to grow and sucking in yin and filth, it’s a highly poisonous thing to us.” Warlock Ramsus reminded.

“Hoo, hoo hoo.”

The sound of wind, wrapped in a fishy odor, poured into the tunnel ahead, blowing out the torches.

The wind sounded like breathing, rising and falling rhythmically.

No, it’s the sound of breathing.

Gong Yang Su’s face turned white in vain as he hissed, “There is a sinister aura ahead, something is coming over.”

The crowd, who had just survived the disaster and were in a joyful mood, had a heart that sank ghostly.

“Go light the torches.” The Sickness Gang Leader commanded, then, with a stony face, he looked at Lina, “You, are you still able to fight?”

Qian You warily ran to the torch position, took out the flint, click click click fire, his hands kept trembling, the flint how to hit the fire.

The sound of breathing was getting closer and closer, and the fishy odor was getting stronger and stronger. But, the only sound was no footsteps.

“Come on, come on, come on.”

Chanyou was on the verge of bursting, clicking, and the flint flared weakly, igniting the grease on the torch.

“Whew!”    Flames rose up, dispelling the darkness.

Qian You grabbed the torch and threw it towards the distance without saying a word.

The torch fell to the ground, bursting into blinding sparks, and between sudden flashes of light, the crowd saw the scene in the tunnel.

In the tunnel, a huge cunt crawled and forced its way through, in the very posture of a man who is poised to strike when he hunts.

The netherworld was three times the size of the one from earlier, belonging to the same species, with slightly dull grayish-brown eyes and closed lips but protruding upper fangs.

And?

The torch burst into flame for only a moment, and the next instant it was invisible to the crowd.

The Sicko Gang Leader only felt a gust of wind sweeping by, like something extremely fast had brushed against him at high speed, and then, he realized that Lina had disappeared.

“Lina!!!”

The Sicko gang leader cried out and turned back with a huff, the crowd making the same motion as him.

Behind him, the creature took hold of the little savage girl from the southern border, bobbing its head and fatally swaying.

The Sick Man’s Gangmaster’s eyes were wide with rage as he roared, “Save the people, save the people, and fuck this beast to death.”

Out of the darkness came Lina’s agonized roar.

Just at this time, from the other side of the tunnel, came the chorus, “Stand down!”

A green-shirted man holding a torch rushed out of the tunnel, raised his sword finger and stabbed it into the torch, and the flames sprang up in vain as if they had been given life.

The green-shirted man pinched a cluster of fire at his fingertips and suddenly flicked it out.

The fire broke away, rubbing straight, bright, thin lines through the darkness and stabbing into the creature’s back.

Boo!

Flesh and blood exploded, and a charred odor filled the air.

The suddenly attacked Yin creature let go of the prey in its mouth and came back to its senses, hissing heavily and turning into a phantom to pounce on the green-shirted man.

A silhouette flashed out from behind the green-shirted man to meet the Yin Object, and in the process, a bit of golden paint lit up from his brow and spread all over his body.

He let out a deep, low growl and smothered it.

Duang!

The netherworld was like hitting an iron plate, its entire head trembled and its forward body jammed. The golden figure, on the other hand, flew backwards, wanting a piece of divine iron, thumping and embedding itself in the wall.

During this gap, another figure rose into the air, taking advantage of the netherworld’s dizziness to leap steadily over its head.

Muttering Amitabha, he raised his casserole-sized fist.

Boom, boom, boom.

In the dense rain of punches, the cunt went from struggling violently, to convulsing, and finally lost his life as his brains were pounded out.

Daoist Master Golden Lotus, torch in hand, was the last to appear and said gently, “Don’t be afraid, we’re here to save you.”

Qian You exclaimed wildly in excitement, “They are Lina girl’s friends, the rescuers I invited.”

The group of Hou Tu Gang stared straight at Daoist Master Golden Lotus, only to find that the other party was gentle and inscrutable, perfectly fitting the posture of a supreme master within them.

“Many thanks to the Taoist Master for saving my life, many thanks to the Taoist Master for saving my life.”

The Backwoods gang members cheered.

With a slight nod of his head, the torch-wielding Golden Lotus Taoist Master swept his gaze around and saw Lina lying in a pool of blood in the darkness in the distance.

Daoist Golden Lotus stepped forward to check the situation, half of her body was torn and bloodied, her organs were vaguely visible, a thin silver line sprang out of the flesh and blood of the wounds, they quickly covered those horrible wounds, stopping the bleeding and repairing the injuries.

The Compassionate Compass did not suffer trauma, and the Compassionate Clan would not die.

Daoist Golden Lotus breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Zhong Li yanked Xu Qi’an’s ankle and leaned back at a forty-five degree angle, pulling him out of the wall.

Xu Qi’an dispersed Vajra Undefeated and asked in a loud voice, “Daoist, how is the situation of your little friend?”

“Suffered some injuries, life is not in danger.” Daoist Master Golden Lotus beckoned towards Zhong Li and said:

“Did Miss Zhong bring any healing pills.”

Zhong Li let out a “hmmm”, fished out a porcelain bottle from his linen robe, and obediently handed it to Daoist Master Jinlian: “One capsule a day, and you’ll be cured in three days.”

Daoist Master Golden Lotus pulled out the wooden cork and sniffed it, it was a healing pill of excellent quality.

Si Tian Jian is so rich, the poor Taoist hasn’t had the money to make pills for many years . Thinking enviously, Daoist Master Jinlian leaned over and pried open Lina’s mouth and fed her a pill.

Xu Qi’an, torch in hand, assiduously came over and scrutinized the legendary number five, her hair black with brown, slightly curled at the end, and her girlish figure resembling that of an athletic female panther.

The features are quite delicate, thin lips, handsome nose, skin is a healthy wheat color, very consistent with the image of the southern border little wild girl.

She’s good-looking, with slightly more defined features than the Daebong woman. It is a beautiful female netizen! Xu Qi’an nodded, quite satisfied.

Confirming that number five was unharmed, Xu Qi’an and Chu Yuanjian and the others waved their torches and surveyed the evil creature’s corpse.

“What kind of monster is this?”

The uneducated Xu Qi’an said in his heart, Crap.

“It should be a tombstone beast.”

The erudite Chu Yuanzhuan explained, “I’ve read the relevant records that after the ancients died, they would put foreign beasts into their tombs so that they would act as guards to protect the tombs.

“The numbers of these beasts will be huge at first, and the only way they can survive is by devouring their companions or carrion corpses to feed their bellies. Until they slowly die out.”

Daoist Golden Lotus added, “Bred down from generation to generation, nourished by Yin Qi, the poisons that devour rotting corpses and tombs have long since taken on a different face, very different from their ancestors.”

“Does the body have any value?” Xu Qi’an asked.

Daoist Golden Lotus shook his head.

“Zhong Li, I’ll leave her in your care, carry her well.” Xu Qi’an realistically averted his gaze, no longer bothering with the evil corpse, and said:

“Don’t you go too far away from me or I won’t be able to take care of you.”

Too far away for my invisible wings to protect you!

Daoist Master Golden Lotus was a bit uneasy with such an arrangement, after all, Number Five was already injured, and to have her follow the Divine Providence’s prophet would be a bit too cruel to her.

With this kid’s luck, it should, not be a big problem . Daoist Master Golden Lotus whirled around to look at the aftermath of the calamity, the Houtu Gang, and soothed them for a few moments before saying, “Stay close to us, and we’ll take you out.”

After saying that, he gestured for Xu Qi’an to lead the way.

A group of men held torches and continued on their way.

Sick Master looked at the back of the masters, recalled the battle just now, carrying a sword of the green shirt man, must be the “heaven and man of the fight” one of the protagonists.

The Buddhist monk was so powerful, killed the evil creature with his bare hands, Miss Lina didn’t say his identity in detail, I thought it was just a helper, who would have thought it would be so powerful.

That young martial artist of the sixth rank looks normal . The Sickness Gang Leader said in his heart.

In his opinion, it was only right that a sixth grade copper-skinned and iron-boned martial artist would be resistant to punching, thus Xu Qi’an Fang’s performance was mediocre and did not operate too colorfully.

As for the woman with the cloaked hair, she was too ancient and weird to judge without making a move.

In the midst of his thoughts, the Sick Gangmaster heard his subordinate beside him say in surprise, “Out of the labyrinth!”

At the end of the tunnel, there is a huge burial chamber with a bronze coffin in the center, in addition, there are some burial goods in the chamber: gold, silver, utensils, ceramics, books and so on.

Over the long years, the silver had oxidized badly and was in the form of wax tears, and the gold was still well preserved. As for the books and cloth, they crumbled almost as soon as they were touched.

This tomb isn’t completely isolated from oxygen . Xu Qi’an swept a few glances and asked, “Is this the main tomb?”

“No, it’s the side room.”

The Sick Gang Leader said, “It should be one of the many side chambers that arch over the main tomb.”

The people of the Backlands Gang excitedly collected gold, silver and other valuable goods, turning a blind eye to books and other things; it wasn’t that they were coarse and only recognized gold, quite the contrary, the Backlands Gang was professional.

So it was even more clear that books could not be taken out of such an age-old tomb; they had long since decayed.

Chu Yuanjian has an instinctive passion for books, casually flipping through a few books, the pages are brittle like ash and crumble with gentle pressure.

However, he hadn’t come up empty handed, at least he knew who was buried in the coffin.

“This tomb isn’t simple, it’s the tomb of an emperor, and the martyrs are his concubines.” Chu Yuanzhen said:

“What should we do now? If we go to the main tomb, we might encounter danger. If we return the same way, we’ll re-enter the labyrinth.”

Saying so, he glanced at Xu Qi’an, “I think the latter is more prudent.”

Although he was curious to know what the identity of the owner of this tomb was, however, safety first, safety first. Xu Qi’an nodded, agreeing with Chu Scholar’s proposal.

With the exception of the unconscious Lina and the opinionless Zhong Li, the members of the Tiandi Association agree that returning the way they came is the right choice.

Immediately, he led the mongrels of the Back Earth Gang and returned to the labyrinth.

After traveling forward for an unknown amount of time, Xu Qi’an led the crowd out of the tunnel and into a side room.

“Why are you back again?” The sick gang leader frowned.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society murmured.

“Walk once more.” Xu Qi’an looked at Daoist Golden Lotus and the others.

“Good,” Chu Yuanjian nodded with a grave expression on his face.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Qi’an once again led the crowd out of the tunnel and into a side room.

“How, how come it’s back again?” The Sick Man’s gang leader’s voice trembled.

The other members of the Backlands Gang’s faces then changed, turning a little white, their eyes terrified.

“Again, walk again?” Xu Qi’an swallowed hard.

“. Good.” Chu Yuanzhan said in a shy voice.

For the third time, they came back to this side room.

The tomb raiding squad was deathly silent, and Xu Qi’an stiffly craned his neck to look at Zhong Li.

Zhong Li shook his head.

Daoist Master Golden Lotus was silent for a long time and sighed longingly, “Go in, if we don’t, I’m afraid we’ll never be able to walk out of this tomb.”

Xu Qi’an and Chu Yuanzhuan, as well as Hengyuan exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and said, “Good.”

Then, he looked at the crowd of the Houtu Gang and admonished, “After entering the main tomb, don’t touch anything and don’t talk nonsense. Understand.”

Although the grave robbers were greedy, they knew that their lives were most important and nodded their heads.

At that moment, the ram-suited man in dirty white robes looked at Zhong Li and said, “Don’t ever use the lookout technique here.”

This old man Xu Qi An did not move to scrutinize him.

Zhong Li lowered her head and pecked, “Uh-huh.”

PS: Sleep after liver. I’ll correct the typos tomorrow. Ask for a monthly ticket.
