Wu Yu Saves the World

Chapter 144: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 26

"Everyone be careful, Yu'er and Xiaohua are missing." Wu Xie warned as he looked around carefully.

Fatty Wang's figure suddenly paused. He swallowed subconsciously, looked at the coffin beside him, and swiftly took out some talisman papers from his storage bag.

"Tian Zhen, hurry up and put on the talisman paper. Saving your life is the first priority, exploration is the second, and cleaning up the battlefield is the third."

Zhang Qiling nodded and signaled Wu Xie to "arm" himself first and then explore the place.

Wu Xie then took out some talisman paper as a backup, just in case.

After everything was ready, Fatty Wang and Zhang Qiling began to take action.

They carefully scooped out the water from the coffin until it was completely empty.

Then, they worked together to move the female corpse out of the coffin.

However, at this moment, a sudden cat's cry broke the silence.

Fatty Wang and Zhang Qiling looked around in astonishment and discovered that the cat's skeleton that was supposed to be lying nearby was missing.

At the same time, what shocked them even more was that Wu Xie also disappeared mysteriously!

The two were extremely anxious and immediately looked everywhere for Wu Xie's trace, but after searching for a while they still found nothing.

In desperation, they decided to temporarily put aside their worries about Wu Xie and instead concentrate on studying this strange coffin.

After all, this mysterious place is full of various dangers and unknowns, and they must remain vigilant.

After great efforts, Fatty Wang and Zhang Qiling finally succeeded in moving the heavy coffin.

Just when they breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly noticed that the belly of the female corpse on the ground seemed to be trembling slightly.

The two looked at each other, and a bad feeling welled up in their hearts.

Fatty Wang and Zhang Qiling hurriedly put down the coffin and turned to look at the female corpse.

At this moment, the female corpse suddenly stretched out a pale hand and tightly grasped the corner of Zhang Qiling's clothes!

Seeing this, Fatty Wang raised his pistol without hesitation and shot at the female corpse.

Taking advantage of the moment when the female corpse let go, the two men quickly rushed into the tunnel they had just discovered, not daring to delay for even a moment.

Suddenly appearing in a dark and deep corridor, Wu Xie couldn't help feeling creepy and extremely nervous.

His legs went weak and he fell to the ground, trying hard to calm himself down and began to silently calculate the time to comfort himself.

At this moment, a dark shadow slowly approached him. With the weak light, Wu Xie was horrified to find that it was a hideous, wet monster that was slowly crawling towards him!

In an instant, fear surged into his heart like a tide. Wu Xie didn't care about anything else and crawled into an ear chamber next to him.

After entering the ear chamber, Wu Xie leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, secretly thanking his luck for having escaped the disaster for the time being.

However, before his breathing could calm down, a cold hand suddenly stretched out from below, trying to grab his ankle, but was blocked by an invisible wall of air.

Wu Xie was so shocked that his body trembled violently.

He quickly reached for his waist, pulled out the knife he carried with him, and stabbed at the strange hand without hesitation!

The monster retreated instantly after being stung. Wu Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was his first time facing an unknown creature and exploring an ancient tomb by himself. When faced with fear, his body was bound to overreact.

After calming down a little, Wu Xie began to look around this hiding place - a slightly gloomy left side hall.

Inadvertently, his eyes fell on a coffin placed in the corner.

This coffin has a strange shape, like a huge bathtub, which is very different from the common style.

With a lot of professional knowledge, Wu Xie immediately realized that this bathtub-like coffin was a characteristic of ancient tombs from the Warring States Period.

It seems that this place may not be the Ming Dynasty tomb they originally thought, and the situation becomes more and more confusing.

Wu Xie's thoughts gradually drifted away, and he recalled the Seven Star Palace of King Lu that he had visited before.

The ancient tomb has a long history, dating back to the Warring States Period.

And the first snake-browed bronze fish they got came from here.

However, just now when exploring the coffin of the female corpse, traces of the snake-browed bronze fish also appeared.

What secrets do these mysterious bronze fish hide? And what connections are there between them?

Wu Xie pondered over it but still couldn't find the answer.

Suddenly, Wu Xie's attention was attracted by an inconspicuous porcelain jar on the ground.

This porcelain jar is beautifully painted with images of officials dressed in Ming dynasty attire inspecting a project.

This discovery made Wu Xie’s curiosity even stronger.

Just at this moment, a strange sound came from the water, breaking the original peaceful atmosphere.

Wu Xie became alert and quickly dodged to the side to observe secretly.

I saw Fatty Wang and Zhang Qiling emerging from the water and standing in front of me, all wet.

Wu Xie looked closely and noticed the mark on Zhang Qiling's arm, and quickly asked the reason.

Zhang Qiling explained that he was pulled back when he was fighting with the white-haired drought demon.

Fatty Wang heard this and asked in confusion.

"Then why didn't you just kill that drought demon just now?"

Zhang Qiling replied calmly.

"To kill Hanba, you only need to chop off its head, but this will release a lot of corpse poison. Besides, there is very little air left here, so it's not worth it to do so."

Wu Xie carefully took out an exquisite jade bottle from his bulging storage bag, gently pulled out the cork, and a faint fragrance wafted out.

He handed the bottle to Zhang Qiling, who had a stern face beside him, and then took out another bottle and handed it to Fatty Wang beside him.

"The road ahead may be more dangerous, so everyone must be careful." Wu Xie said to the two of them with a serious expression.

Zhang Qiling took the detoxification pill expressionlessly, poured out one pill and swallowed it without saying a word, then put the remaining pills into the storage bag. The whole action was smooth and there was no delay at all.

After taking the pill, Fatty Wang first examined it carefully, then stuffed it into his storage bag like a treasure, and patted his chest to assure himself.

"Don't worry, we are all veterans and can definitely take care of ourselves. But you, little naive, please don't fall behind!"

Wu Xie rolled his eyes at him, but felt a warmth in his heart.

The three of them carefully observed the surrounding environment, and Wu Xie said with a frown.

"It seems that my previous analysis was wrong."

Fatty Wang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"In fact, when we passed through the tunnel just now, we already felt something was wrong."

Wu Xie nodded, then took out a porcelain jar from his backpack, handed it to the two of them, and explained.

"According to my inference, the designer of this underwater tomb is most likely Wang Canghai. He was a very remarkable figure during the Ming Dynasty! And this pool in front of us might be one of the exits."

After hearing this, Zhang Qiling fell into deep thought, recalling that he had not found any other forks in the road along the way through the tunnel.

Seeing this, Wu Xie said that maybe he was too busy at the time and didn't notice it.

At this moment, a strange sound came from the water again, which made people alert.

After discussion, the three decided to continue exploring down the stairs, but the light in the passage was dim and strange noises were heard from time to time, making the atmosphere more tense.

As he walked, Fatty Wang suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some reliefs on the wall.

When I took a closer look, I discovered that there were English abbreviations engraved on it.

Wu Xie speculated that these letters should be marks left by someone twenty or thirty years ago.

Zhang Qiling kept staring at the English letters on the wall silently and did not speak for a long time.

When the two asked him if he had any ideas, he just shook his head, turned and walked straight towards the water deep under the stairs.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang looked at each other. Although they were a little confused, they still followed Zhang Qiling's steps.

On the way, Zhang Qiling reminded them to be extra careful because there might be caves hidden under the water and they would fall into them if they were not careful.
