Chapter 44: The Underground River

Chu Zhen pointed out the word "moon" to Lin Guihe.

Lin Guihe looked at it for a while and said, "It may be the name of this corpse."

Zhu Zhen nodded: "Actually, I have seen him in my memory before. He and the priestess killed me together and pushed me into the coffin, which was full of bugs!"

Thinking of that scene, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but tremble.

Lin Guihe glanced at her, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just lowered his eyes and said calmly: "This tower faces west to east, which is the orientation only for tombs. It is probably the tomb this person built for himself."

Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment, but it seemed to make sense after thinking about it.

After all, they are in an underground tomb, so they can't build a place for living people to live here.

But why is it created like a tower?

She couldn't figure it out, so she could only put it aside for the time being and look at the body again.

At this moment, Lin Guihe had already untied the corpse's clothes, and under the loose robe, there was a dagger stuck in his chest.

"He was stabbed to death by this dagger?"

It was really...an ordinary way to die.

He always felt that this method of death did not match his clothes, but thinking that as a saint, his treatment was no more than a dagger, and suddenly it felt normal.

However, Lin Guihe shook his head, "His bones were blackened, he must have been poisoned, and there were no signs of struggle on his body, and there was no fight with anyone. The dagger was probably inserted into the body after his death."

Zhu Zhen clicked his tongue twice and said: "Then the person who inserted the dagger hates him so much that he will not let him go even if he dies."

They wanted to look for more clues, but suddenly they heard a national curse.

The two people quickly walked out of the tower, and saw Liu Yun and Bi Li standing in the only open space in embarrassment outside the tower, and around them, red spikes were sprouting out of the disgusting green mucus.

brain.

Countless worms crawled out from the ground and surrounded the two people.

Like the previous worm, they were very afraid of the tower and did not dare to approach the tower at all, so they only attacked Liu Yun and Bi Li.

The two people watched helplessly as the worms slowly approached them, but did not dare to move, for fear of killing them and causing the corrosive thick water in their bodies to spurt out, which would be troublesome.

But if they remained motionless, those worms would touch them and they would still be unable to escape the mucus on them.

The two of them couldn't move, so Lin Guihe shouted: "Hurry up and jump to the tower!"

But it is so easy to go anywhere, and there are either emerging worms or thick water of worms in the middle, how can we get along?

While they were hesitating, the worm began to grow in size. Remembering the lessons learned from the past, they no longer dared to hesitate.

Liu Yun gritted his teeth, jumped up first, stepped on the heads of those worms and jumped to the tower.

He ran as fast as he could, but his shoes were still corroded. After jumping onto the tower, he quickly took off his shoes. By this time, the bottom of the shoes had been completely corroded.

If it were any later, the mucus would corrode the soles of his feet.

The worms twisted wildly for a while after being stepped on, making Bi Li's movements more difficult, but seeing them swelling bigger and bigger, there was no time for him to hesitate.

He took a deep breath and then plucked up the courage to step on those worms and jump over them like Liu Yun did just now.

Seeing that the steps of the tower were just ahead, he jumped up and wanted to jump onto the tower. Unexpectedly, the worms suddenly exploded at this moment.

One of his feet has stepped onto the tower, but the other leg is still outside.

Liu Yun and Lin Guihe quickly reached out to pull him, but one of his legs was still blown up by the thick water from the worms.

The highly corrosive thick water instantly corroded the layer of flesh on Bi Li's legs.

Bi Li screamed loudly, his forehead hurting and making him sweat.

A large amount of blood dripped down the legs and fell to the ground, and beautiful flowers of the other side bloomed.

The ground was arched by Bianhua flowers, and the soil underneath was loosened a lot. Only then did they realize that the soil underneath was actually empty.

It seems that there is a small world hidden under this thick soil.

Lin Guihe took out a talisman from his arms and threw it at the other side flower. A burst of flames ignited from the talisman, igniting the other side flower and spreading all the way, burning all the worm corpses and thick water around it.

But the other shore flower seemed to have received nutrients, and it grew stronger and stronger in the firelight, and the red one became more and more bright.

The thick roots pushed the soil apart, and the soil seemed to fall down without support.

Only then did they discover that underneath this long road was a turbulent underground river.

Chu Zhen frowned when suddenly a gust of wind blew by, causing her to frown.

This is indoors, how can there be wind? Moreover, the wind seems to carry a strong fragrance of flowers.

It's not the Lycoris smell of Higanbana flower, it's a nice, intoxicating smell.

But in such an environment, the floral fragrance seemed particularly strange.

She wanted to warn a few people, but suddenly she heard a strange sound.

He hurriedly turned his head to look, and found that at some point, the corpse wearing a bronze mask stood up and faced them, as if staring at them.

His hand bones were exposed, but now he suddenly began to grow new flesh and blood, starting from his limbs, covering his neck, and ending at his head. Even his hair became brighter.

It's like... becoming a living person again.

He suddenly opened his mouth, as if he was chanting something, but the sound that came out of his mouth was not a human voice, but rather like the grinding sound of gold and metal.

As the sound rang out, the entire tower seemed to be weathered, and began to quickly dissipate in the air, starting from the top spire, slowly going down, one floor, two floors...

Soon they reached the steps where they were standing.

In front of them was an underground river that was turbulent and unknown. Behind them was the slowly melting tower. They had nowhere to retreat.

The stone slabs beneath their feet cracked, and they quickly fell down into the river.

Chu Zhen was fluttering in the air subconsciously, and suddenly she felt someone holding her hand and hugging her tightly.

Although she didn't see the face, she knew it was Lin Guihe.

Her heart suddenly calmed down, as if as long as he was around, she had nothing to fear.

She buried her face in his chest and closed her eyes tightly, but she could still see the barrage passing in front of her.

Zhu Zhen: I didn’t expect this system to be quite advanced.

【It's so sweet, it kills me.】

[Woo woo woo, I really want to have such a sweet love. If there is someone who can hold me tightly in crisis, I will definitely get married immediately. 】

【What's down here? Will they die if they fall?】

[No way, no way, my CP won’t be like this, right?]
