Chapter 536 The Tomb
This old tortoise is very human, after I finished speaking, it really picked up its speed, and after a while, the figures of Lu Su and others were getting closer and closer, and they could be seen without binoculars.Those people obviously didn't expect me to be here, and Heizi's eyes were straightened, and he said, "Chen, brother Chen, why did you fall down, no... why are you riding on the back of a tortoise!"

Bai Zhanji was out of breath, when he saw the turtle, he stared angrily, and cursed: "Damn old turtle, I'll kill you." As soon as he spoke, Fatty Li immediately killed the old turtle.I didn't expect Bai Zhanji to be so resentful, and his temper became more surly than when he was 'young', and he screamed in fright: "Stop." But Fatty Li would not listen to me, he was also very fast in the water, with one hand forming a claw, It grabbed the old turtle's head head-on.

At this critical moment, the old tortoise shrank its head suddenly, and quickly hid in the tortoise shell, so Fatty Li missed it with his hand.At this time, Lu Su was able to speak and stopped him, "Don't act rashly." After all, he was the team leader, and Bai Zhanji gave some face no matter what, so he snorted, and then Fatty Li stopped.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help being furious, and sneered, "Brother Zhao, you're even more tempered than your father when you shoot indiscriminately."

I bit the accent on my brother and son, and he was so angry that he was trembling all over. A young guy with white hair and chicken skin was so mocked by me, he burst into anger, and said, "Boy Chen, if it wasn't for Lu Su's sake , believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"

Heizi tried to persuade him anxiously: "Brother Chen, Mr. Zhao, please stop arguing. Shouldn't we all work together when we go out to work?" It's surly, he didn't dare to touch me because of my identity, but he was not afraid of Heizi, a young chicken with no power and power, so he raised his hand and slapped me across the face.Hearing a slap, Heizi was stunned, but he had never seen anything in the world, and he was timid, unlike Tofu, who dared to slap Tofu, he would stand up desperately, but Heizi Just like the angry little daughter-in-law, shrinking back, tears welling up in her eyes, not to mention being wronged.

Seeing this situation, Lu Su was also furious, and said, "Enough, have you forgotten our agreement!" Bai Zhanji snorted, then restrained himself, and floated on the water with Fatty Li on his lap.Immediately afterwards, Lu Su comforted Heizi, and said, "Mr. Zhao has something not going his way, and his temper is unavoidable. Just don't talk to him in the future, just take care of yourself." Afraid, said: "I know, I won't talk too much in the future."

Hearing what Lu Su said, Bai Zhanji just stared at Heizi and smiled strangely, as if he had some deep meaning.My heart moved, and I wondered if he knew Lu Su's intentions?What exactly was Lu Su trying to do by involving the innocent sunspot?
Of course, I couldn't think clearly about this for a while. At this moment, the old turtle poked his head out again and turned to look at me. I patted its head and said to Lu Su and the others: "I fell down!" Jiang, this old tortoise came out and carried me all the way. He was very spiritual, could listen to people's words, knew people's wishes, and was willing to send us ashore. Your physical strength is not good enough to go upstream. I think it's better to tie a rope around the tortoise. On your back, you can use the rope to draw strength, otherwise, if you drown from exhaustion, it will be bad."

Naturally, Lu Su would not object to something that saves energy. He smiled, thanked the old turtle in a serious manner, and immediately tied the rope. After a while, we continued to move forward with the strength of the old turtle. After a while, we reached the river bank.

I saw a dense primitive jungle on the bank of the river. The trees were tall and gnarled, and some roots even penetrated into the water, but the roots were not rotted. generally.

When we arrived at the river's bank, Feng Guishou said: "Since this old turtle is so powerful, why not just let it carry us through three bends, so as to save us from running around exhausted." As soon as his voice fell, the old turtle suddenly fell down Shen, his figure rolled over in the river, broke free from our rope, and then leisurely swam towards the middle of the river, sank to the bottom of the water for a moment, without a trace.

Lu Su praised: "This old tortoise knows how to repay his kindness, and he comes and goes freely, which is much better than many people."

Bai Zhanji sarcastically said: "Then you might as well be that tortoise." Lu Su just smiled slightly, showing some white teeth, and didn't take advantage of the argument to argue.While we were talking, we waded to the shore. After staying in the water for a long time, our bodies were still stiff and cold when we went ashore. If we had to keep our balance in the water, we would inevitably be tired. A place to rest.

It’s just that there are almost only water and tree roots in this place, and there is not even a piece of dry land. We can’t rest for a while, so we can only drag our tired bodies towards the depths of the jungle. After a while, we are farther away from the river. , the water vapor also dissipated, and the ground was exposed, but the soil was a little wet.

We found a slightly clean flat place, piled up dead branches and fallen leaves, and built a bonfire. We quickly took off our clothes, wrung out the water and baked them on the side. Everyone under the bucket did not wear a change of clothes, only wearing The underpants sat around the fire, took out food, rested, and ate to replenish their strength.

Heizi was slapped before, and he was even more timid, knowing that we are not easy to mess with, now he is more like a little daughter-in-law, shrinking aside and not daring to say a word, I think of tofu when he looks so cowardly , so he patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "No matter what, follow me, I will try my best to help you."

Hearing this, Heizi cast a grateful look and nodded hastily.

At this time, Lu Su asked about my later situation, why I fell into the river, and I remembered the stone tablet I saw in the grass. After everyone listened to me, Feng Guishou squinted his eyes and said: " I thought the real danger was in the tomb of King Juer, but now it seems that the three bends have also been tampered with, it seems that we have to be more careful." He said, looking around vigilantly.

Bai Zhanji immediately ordered Fatty Li to guard the surroundings. Fatty Li was wearing wet clothes and was not afraid of cold sweat. He left the fire and began to patrol around.

We ate and rested, and then there was nothing to say. When we were full and rested, we were about to put on our clothes and go on our way. Fatty Li came back suddenly, pointed to the place on the right, and said to us: " There's something weird over there."

"What's weird?" Lu Su asked.

Fatty Li said: "There is a large grave, and... there is corpse gas in the grave, I suspect... there are live zongzi in it."

Tomb?

Why are there still graves in this place?
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Lu Su looked at the direction, which is the only way we must go forward, and said, "Don't make trouble, just go around this way." As he said, he drew his ghost crying knife from his waist, It seemed that he was jealous of something, so he took the knife back.

I can see that Lu Su is very cautious in this action.All along, he has been calm and never retreated. Now, whenever he encounters danger along the way, he avoids it whenever he can.I know that the tomb of King Juer is very important, and I also know that Puzhen should not be underestimated, but I didn't expect Lu Su to be so cautious. It seems that the data in the USB flash drive he got may also contain something that makes him extremely taboo .However, since the old man Zhao was able to pass through the three bends back then and reach the tomb of King Juer, I don't think the journey through the three bends will be so powerful. Lu Su's caution is a bit too much.

But I have no objection, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.So the few of us started to bypass the big grave that Fatty Li mentioned, and headed deeper into the jungle, about a hundred meters or so. We felt that the distance was almost the same, so we turned around and headed towards the upper reaches of the Nu River.

However, just walking forward and stepping away, a huge graveyard appeared in front of our eyes!

Heizi was startled, and said, "Haven't we already bypassed the tomb and the mound? Why, why did one pop up in front?"

Fatty Li reminded Bai Zhanji, saying, "There is something inside."

Actually, without his reminding, we can clearly see that there are big holes at the bottom of the mound, and the holes are full of claw marks.

The smile on the corner of Lu Su's mouth was a little weak, and he said softly: "The old corpse was punched. It seems that there is more than one grave like this. This is a place for raising corpses."

Feng Guishou said: "It seems that the builder of King Juer's tomb deliberately set it up. First, he created a corpse breeding ground and buried the corpse in it. I’m going to be in trouble.” Heizi is a layman, so he doesn’t know what a holed old corpse is. He just thinks that this tomb is three to five times bigger than the tombs of ordinary people. Shrinking, said: "Brother Chen, do we have to take a detour?"

Feng Guishou glanced at him contemptuously, and said, "Countless man, this place for raising corpses must be connected in a straight line, and if you go further, there will be a cliff, so how can you get around it?"

Lu Su tilted his head slightly, and ordered in a gentle voice: "I will clear the way in front, Brother Zhao will follow me, Brother Li is third, Heizi you are fourth, Chen Xuan, you hold the line, let's break through." The voice fell, Then there was a clang sound, and the Ghost Crying Saber came out of its sheath suddenly, and the sharp blade was shining.Lu Su swung the knife horizontally, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze into an unchanging arc, and his mildly squinted eyes shot out a threatening cold light.

According to his instructions, everyone quickly lined up and moved forward quickly.

It stands to reason that it is daytime now, and the old corpses in the cave are all nocturnal, but with the blessing of the corpse raising place, the yin energy here is too strong and the yang energy dissipates. The smell of the child will also come out to make trouble.
