He Shen's speed in anger was really too fast, to a degree that was completely beyond my imagination.
Like a mad bull, after its corpse transformation, it was no longer the wise and resourceful first greedy person in history. It was completely a beast, rushing towards me in an extremely arrogant and domineering manner. Wherever it passed, there was a "clang" sound, and the sarcophagus was directly smashed into two pieces!
I underestimated it.
I sighed softly. Seeing that it was about to pounce on me, I gritted my teeth and wanted to stop and draw my sword to fight it. I never thought that at the moment when Heshen just rushed up, Hua Mulan rushed out from my chest without any warning. In the dark tomb, I only saw her afterimage, like an eagle flying in the sky, rushing straight to Heshen's face. The moment she got close, she kicked him in the air, her legs like whips and her feet like cannons, with a "whoosh" sound of air explosion, and kicked Heshen's chin accurately.
This kick was fierce. With a muffled "bang", Heshen, who was just like a tiger coming down the mountain, was kicked back to the tomb by this kick and disappeared. Or it should be said that in this dark environment, the distance between him and me was beyond my sight.
After doing all this, Hua Mulan landed gracefully.
"You can't get out like this."
Hua Mulan frowned and said, "Relax, I'll take you out."
As soon as she finished speaking, she flew directly towards Zhou Jing and me, then grabbed our belts in one hand and flew directly outside.
Behind me, Heshen's roar never stopped, and it became more and more intense. I knew that he was always very close to us.
Fortunately, the span of the real tomb chamber of this ancient tomb is not large. Unlike the Tang tomb, it is almost a tomb built on a mountain. The span of the tomb chamber is amazing, and the twists and turns inside are like a maze. Although this ancient tomb occupies a large area, it basically uses natural forces to make anti-theft facilities. It is estimated that Heshen is also afraid that his coffin will be pried open after his death. Wasn't it because the nobleman in the Xia Dynasty who asked the great wizard to help him realize his plan of resurrection after death was pried open in the coffin, so the resurrection pattern was broken and became a corpse? I guess Heshen was a little confused when he was tinkering with this, so he made such a great anti-theft measure. Ordinary tomb robbers really couldn't see the ins and outs of this place. But in the end, it was his bad luck. Although the preparations were done well enough, he still couldn't escape the fate of being ruined by a road built to the foot of the tomb!
However, the small tomb chamber really benefited us. Hua Mulan carried Zhou Jing and me and rushed out along the original route in a short while.
Outside was the tomb-protecting river. Song Yanan, Lin Qing and others were wandering by the river in a daze.
"Jump!"
I couldn't help but yelled: "What are you all doing stupidly!"
Unexpectedly, Hua Mulan had already rushed to the river while I was talking, and without saying a word, she threw Zhou Jing and me into the river!
My heart sank the moment I fell into the water - I wondered if I could still see the rune I had brought out with my life after it was soaked in the river water.
But I really didn't have time to take it out and take a look at it. The river here was very fast. The moment I fell into the water, Zhou Jing and I were directly washed away. The last time I saw Hua Mulan's sleeves swung fiercely, and a surge of Yin Qi swept out instantly. Then Song Yanan and the others were swept into the river like dumplings, "plop, plop", and then Hua Mulan jumped towards me and caught up with me in a short while, turning into a black gas and drilling into the chastity sand in my chest.
As for Song Yanan and the others, I don't know how far they are from me now. The scene is too chaotic. I can't even take care of myself. How can I pay attention to so many things?
As I expected, this tomb-protecting river was designed with a steep slope to increase the kinetic energy of the river water. After circling the tomb, it would return to the artificial lake on the surface. I drifted forward for more than ten minutes with the rush of the river water, and then I saw the end of the river, which was a dark and deep lake!
"Hold your breath! Hold your breath!"
I yelled, then took a deep breath in the river, and then I was directly washed into the lake along the tomb-protecting river. The extreme cold eroded me and made me shiver all over. I opened my eyes and looked around in the lake, and found that Zhou Jing was not far from me. I immediately swam towards him, grabbed Zhou Jing and swam up. I had a deep experience of the depth of this lake. After Zhou Jing used the unique skills of the Xiangmen Eight Forbidden, he was in a state of exhaustion. If I didn't pull him, I was really afraid that he couldn't get up!
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any monsters like the Corpse Viper while swimming towards the lake. It was quite smooth. When I ran out of air and felt a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen, we finally reached the ice layer on the lake. The ice layer was very thick. I didn't dare to be careless. I drew out the Baipi Knife. The murderous aura instantly flowed through my body, and finally a half-meter-long substantial edge was sprayed on the tip of the knife. Then I raised my hand and stabbed the ice layer above my head fiercely!
The murderous aura was indestructible, and the effect of the stabbing was much better than I expected. With a knife, I heard a "click" and a crack was directly stabbed in the ice layer above my head!
At this time, my lungs were already burning with discomfort due to lack of oxygen. I didn't dare to delay. While I still had the strength, I quickly raised my hand and poked the ice above my head a few times. With a few loud noises of "crack, crack, crack", the ice above finally broke, and all the snow on the ice fell into the lake, making the temperature of the lake even lower. I couldn't help shivering, but compared to the deadly feeling of lack of oxygen in my lungs, this little bit of cold was really nothing. I dragged Zhou Jing out of the water.
The cold air entered my lungs, and I felt indescribably comfortable. I breathed almost greedily. After the symptoms of lack of oxygen on my body disappeared, I finally mustered up the courage to climb up from the ice hole I broke. Under the erosion of the cold wind outside, the whole person was trembling violently. After all, it was minus 20 to 30 degrees outside. We were only wearing single clothes, and they were soaked. If you have experienced that feeling, you will never forget it in your life.
Outside, it was dark now, with a sparse moon and stars.
After roughly identifying it, I put it down and tremblingly pulled Zhou Jing towards the lakeside where we put our equipment. Now, I just hope I can have a dry thick coat to keep warm!
Crack!
Crack!
At this time, there were several explosions on the ice around us, and then a lot of holes were broken in the ice. Lin Qing and the others also got out of the water. I roughly counted the number of people. Everyone was fine, and I was quite relieved.
As soon as we met, Song Yanan asked me: "Didn't the corpse catch up?"
"I didn't notice it, but it will definitely catch up, don't worry."
I shook my head. Just now, everyone was busy running around, but left the corpse aside. Now when we met, we realized that we seemed to have overlooked a very important detail-the mission target was left behind by us?
However, I think Heshen will not give up. Just because of his persistence in the scripture in my hand, he will definitely catch up.
Thinking of the scripture, I came back to my senses all of a sudden. I didn't even bother to put on my cotton pants. I quickly took out my vest from my body. I saw that the scripture I wrote with blood on it had been soaked by water, but if I looked carefully, I could still recognize it!
I was relieved. This trip was not in vain.
As a result, just when I smiled, a loud "boom" suddenly came from the center of the lake, and then the ice layer exploded on a large scale, and the broken ice flew all over the sky. A green-haired monster grabbed the exploded ice and slowly feared it.
It was Heshen, and it really caught up!
"Monkey!"
Song Yanan shouted in a deep voice: "The target appears on the ground, report the coordinates immediately, and request the organization to provide fire support!"
As soon as the order was issued, Song Yanan jumped up from the ground and shouted: "Run, we need to delay for a while!"
