Chapter 107: The Man in the Tomb

And I felt that the sound seemed to be coming from the top of my head. I hesitated for a moment, but the blue water light reflected on the cave wall was gradually becoming brighter. I knew that the pool water was still rising and I couldn't stop.

I took a deep breath and continued to climb forward, calling Liang Houzai's name from time to time. I was afraid that he would not follow or have any accidents. Fortunately, Liang Houzai would respond to me every time, and he kept following me closely.

I moved forward for a while and a corner appeared. At first I didn't know it was a corner, but I saw that the road ahead was blocked by something until I found that the insect swarm on the cave wall changed direction and swarmed towards the left side of the cave wall.

I slowly moved my body and followed and saw a very wide hole on the left side of the hole wall, which just happened to make my body turn, and a light yellow light flashed from the hole.

After I drilled into the hole, I found that the space inside the hole suddenly became spacious. I finally could stand up and breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, Liang Houzai also crawled out. He also patted his chest and vomited a long and long breath.

To be honest, in the extremely claustrophobic environment just now, even if those bugs don’t do anything to me and Liang Houzai, the tight depression can make people collapse.

That is, when we had just relaxed, the muddy water emitting blue light also overflowed a little from the hole. Liang Houzai and I didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately walked in the direction of the light yellow light.

I used to think there would be a very long tunnel in the entrance of the cave. I guessed halfway through it. It was indeed a tunnel, but the distance was very short.

Not long after we walked, we saw a stone door with a gap not far away. The stone door was very heavy. I tried to push it, but I couldn't push it. I could only squeeze out the crack with Liang Houzai, one by one and one behind.

Liang Houzai was fine. He almost didn't take much effort to get out of the crack in the door, but as soon as I stretched out my head, I found that my chest was stuck. Liang Houzai pulled my arm and almost used the strength to pull me out of the crack in the door.

I took a look inside the crack in the door and saw that the muddy water stopped spreading five or six meters away from the stone gate, and then even began to retreat at a very slow speed.

When I found that the blue lights were no longer approaching us, my feelings could only be described in one word: I will live after a disaster!

I am truly glad that I am still alive, but I can't help but feel scared.

Liang Houzai lay on the ground with his back and gasped, his neck was scratched by a stone, and a little blood was oozing out. I don’t know where the talisman attached to his neck was going.

To be honest, at this time, I suddenly began to miss the school I usually hate the most, the tables, chairs, podiums and blackboards in the classroom, and the annoying class teacher who often peeps outside the windows.

What I miss the most is the rays of sunshine shining into the classroom window every morning.

Liang Houzai gasped for a while and said to me: "It's great to be alive."

Alas, it’s better to be alive, but I know in my heart that we are just temporarily alive. This Dragon King’s tomb is very strange, and no one can tell what will happen next.

I smiled at Liang Houzai, calmed down again, and then looked up at the surroundings. I was just concerned about being glad just now and had not observed the situation around me.

We are now located in a very long tomb passage. The entire tomb passage is piled up with a very regular square brick. On the wall, there is an egg-sized lamp on each meter. In fact, I don’t know if it is a lamp. They look more like eggs stuck to the wall, but a faint yellow light emitted from these eggs, bringing a hint of light to the tomb passage.

Unfortunately, the light on each egg is very weak. The tomb passage is wrapped in such a yellow light, but it does not make people feel bright at all, but it feels foggy.

In addition, around these things that are not known as lamps or eggs, there are three or four holes as thick as babies' arms. After the beetles crawled out of the stone gate, they were divided into several strands, all drilled into such holes.

The tunnel is very long, no matter which end I look at, I can't see the end of the tunnel.

Liang Houzai stood up with difficulty, and asked me with a wry smile: "Brother Dao, which direction should we go now?"

I also tried to stand up, but when I straightened my body and was about to support my upper body with my legs, I suddenly felt my legs felt sore and weak. Not only were my legs weak, but even the wounds on my body hurt bitterly.

Only then did I realize that Liang Houzai was not smiling bitterly just now, his grinning expression was in pain.

In the end, I could only hold on to the wall, get up little by little along the wall, grinned at Liang Houzai, pointed at the front and said, "Let's go there, alas, this is not a way to go on, I have to find some water and food."

Actually, I also know that what I said is the same as I didn’t say it. Where can I find water and food in such a place?

But Liang Houzai and I knew that we could not stop and wait for death no matter what.

Both of us were a little unsteady and had to rely on each other to stabilize the center of gravity when we walked.

"Ah! Ah! Hey!"

We had just walked for less than two steps, and a strange shout suddenly came from behind us. My heart trembled, and Liang Houzai was also very nervous. I felt his hands tremble.

We both turned our heads at the same time and looked behind us, and we saw that there was a...one person not far away.

It was an old man with very old hair and beard, his clothes were worn out, but they looked clean, and on his back, there was a very long old-fashioned rifle.

At this time, he stood about ten meters behind us, and opened a door on the wall to his left. At this time, he was stepping into the door and outside the door, shouting at us "hey, ahhh" while gesturing something with his hands.

The aura of this person is very strange, with both the vitality of a living person and the strong corpse energy. He is the "black shadow" that appeared at the entrance of the tunnel before.

He probably saw that we were just staring at him and had no reaction, and his expression became nervous. He pointed to the direction we were going and shouted a few words with difficulty: "...Cho...wow scared!"

I didn't understand what he meant, but after seeing him say that, I waved at us hard, as if I was asking us to go over.

In such a place, there was a person suddenly appearing. No one knew what he did, no one knew who he was, and I couldn't be sure whether the person in front of me could believe it.

I hesitated for a while, and finally glanced at the rifle on his back, turned around with difficulty and walked towards him.

This man was carrying a gun. If he wanted to be unfavorable to Liang Houzai and me, when we met him at the entrance of the tunnel, we were dead.

But his appearance was so sudden that I had to be on guard against him. When I saw him near the pool, he seemed to be very wary of us, but now he took the initiative to approach us. Did something happen during this period that made him put his guard against us, or did he have other intentions?

My mind was in a mess, and Liang Houzai beside me was also nervous, his hands tightly holding the hilt of the knife.

About two meters away from the old man, Liang Houzai and I finally stopped. Liang Houzai pulled out the hilt and stared at him vigilantly while asking tentatively: "Who are you?"

The old man probably sighed when we saw that we didn't trust him, and then gestured with his hands while talking in his mouth.

No one understood what he wanted to express. He danced for a while and saw that the two of us didn't respond, he grabbed a handful of his hair in frustration. Then he seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned toward us, pointing at one hand on his back, and pointing at me with the other.

Is there anything on my back?

While thinking this in my heart, I grabbed a handful of it on my back. Only then did I realize that a huge hole was torn out of the clothes on my back.

I guessed what he meant this time, so I asked him: "Do you recognize the Black Water Corpse Coffin?"

He let out a sigh of relief and extended his thumb to me again.

It seems that I guessed it right.

At this moment, a slight shock came from the depths of the tomb passage, followed by a shrill howling sound, and the direction where the sound came was the direction Liang Houzai and I were going to go before.

After hearing the sound, the old man's face became a little panicked, and he waved to the two of us again, and then he retreated into the door.

Like the stone door we saw before, this door only had one gap, but the gap was relatively wide enough for me to go in sideways.

There was a slightly narrower tomb passage on the other side of the door. Unlike the tomb passage outside, there was no egg-like lamp on the wall of the tomb passage. There were only a few torches roughly hung, some of which were still on and some were already out.

The old man took a torch from the wall and led the way in front.

He was barefoot, and his feet were exposed from time to time when he walked. I saw a very thick layer of calluses on it. His hair was very long, as if he hadn't been taken care of for many years. He should be very old, with only a small amount of black silk in his hair, and the rest were all white. It can be seen that this person likes to be clean, and his hair and beard are combed very cleanly.

Liang Houzai and I were a little weak and we couldn't walk fast. The old man's pace was very agile. We couldn't keep up with him. Every time he walked a long way, he would stop and wait for us.

To be honest, I still can't trust the old man in front of me. Looking at his appearance, I always feel that he has been in this tomb for many years, but can such a tomb really live? Not to mention the strong yin energy and corpses, is there water here? Is there food? Without these things, how can a person survive?
