Chapter 170
Chapter 170 Unspeakable Horror
Wu Xie and Fatty looked in the direction of Zhang Qiling's finger and saw two figures swaying on the plank road.
"Fuck, it's really them! Want to get there first?"
"Damn it, those two guys are inhuman. If it weren't for us, how could they get here?"
"Let's go, Tianzhen, Xiaoge, let's go to the plank road quickly. We can't let them succeed."
"It's really something that uncle can't tolerate, but aunt can't tolerate it. Aunt can tolerate it, but Fatty can't tolerate it either."
"If we catch them, we have to beat them up."
Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie had no objection. Walking on the plank road might be better than climbing the bronze tree.
So Wu Xie took out a flying tiger claw with a rope, and then threw it over and grabbed it firmly on the plank road.
They tied their side to the bronze tree branches, and a ropeway was completed.
Wu Xie and the others slowly climbed along the ropeway to the opposite plank road.
It took a few minutes for all three people to pass the cableway and stay on the plank road.
In fact, Wu Xie was wondering how Lao Yang left the bronze tree.
After all, it was a big project to get from the bronze tree to the plank road, and it was impossible to do it silently without disturbing them.
So Lao Yang and the others should not have left from the plank road.
What went wrong?
Wu Xie couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he didn't think about it anymore, but just kept a watchful eye in his heart.
Wu Xie turned his attention back to the plank road in front of him.
Perhaps because of the long time, many wooden boards on the plank road had rotted, revealing an empty gap.
Wu Xie and the others walked carefully, and they had to try before they dared to step down. Every step was trembling with fear, and the wooden boards also made a creaking sound.
Fortunately, there were many unknown vines wrapped around the plank road.
First, it could help strengthen the toughness of the wooden boards; later, with these vines, even if they accidentally fell down, at least they could still have something to cling to.
Wu Xie and his companions slowly approached the two figures.
But when they were about ten meters away, Wu Xie found something wrong.
Those two people were not Master Liang and Lao Yang! They were clearly two mummies, two zongzi.
Zhang Qiling also saw the true appearance of the two things and directly stretched out his hand to block Wu Xie, Fatty and the others.
"It's zongzi!"
Zhang Qiling drew out the black gold ancient knife and took the lead to walk towards the two mummies.
When they were two or three meters away from the two mummies, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the cliff and attacked Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling swung his knife horizontally and directly cut the thing.
Then some green liquid splashed out and sprayed on the stone wall. At the same time, the black shadow quickly rushed back into the stone wall, leaving only a black hole the size of a wrist.
Although it was only a moment, Wu Xie also saw clearly that it was a vine the size of an adult's wrist.
As flexible as a snake, it quickly retreated after a missed attack, without any lingering fight, as if it had consciousness.
"Tian Zhen, did you see clearly what it was just now? Why does it feel a bit like a snake?"
"It's just... is there such a powerful snake? Can it drill a hole? Those are solid stone walls!" Fatty even suspected that he had seen it wrong.
"It's not a snake, it's a vine, similar to your ghost hand Teng Snake in the Lu Palace."
"No way? In this case, there are plants like the Hydra Cypress that attack people here?"
"Another mutant plant, why are there so many of these things? How did they grow?"
While Wu Xie and Fatty were talking, Zhang Qiling had already picked up a little green liquid and put it in his nose to sniff.
"It's a plant, but it has corpse gas!" Zhang Qiling pointed out the key to the problem simply and clearly.
"There is corpse gas on the plant? In this case, it should be fed with corpses, or it should be infected by killing too many people."
Seeing these vines, Wu Xie had a guess.
Perhaps the disappearance of Lao Yang and Master Liang should be related to these vines.
No wonder they could disappear silently.
Without the vines, the two mummies had no support points and fell directly on the plank road.
Although Wu Xie guessed that Lao Yang and Master Liang were dragged away by these vines, he didn't know where to look for them for a while.
He could only look for them while going to the main tomb.
And as far as Wu Xie knew, Lao Yang's materialization ability had been restored, and he would not be in any danger here at all.
As for Master Liang, he could only leave it to fate.
Wu Xie slowly walked forward and stood side by side with Zhang Qiling, looking at the two mummies on the ground.
Judging from the style of their tattered clothes, they should be modern people.
This place is close to the surface. These two mummies may be hikers who come to the Qinling Mountains to climb mountains, or they may be hunters nearby.
It is unknown whether they fell down by mistake or were pulled down by the vines.
Judging from the shrunken facial expression of the corpse, it must have suffered a lot before death.
"Is this... a Zongzi?" Just now, these two guys were shaking and attracted them.
The two mummies of Fatty were really just mummies, not the Zongzi they thought.
"They are not a threat. Just now, it was because of those vines that I felt they were moving."
Was it really because of the vines that they moved? Wu Xie was not really sure.
But now it seems that nothing is wrong, there is no corpse transformation at all.
Wu Xie didn't want to stay any longer without seeing the problem, so he went straight up past the mummy.
When Fatty passed the mummy, he took a casual look.
But he seemed to see the corpse move a little, but when he looked again, there was no abnormality at all.
Fatty thought he was dazzled and didn't care.
He didn't tell Wu Xie and the others.
Fatty was curious about where the vine that just popped out went while walking.
At the same time, he asked his doubts.
"You don't have to worry about this. It should be the last protective barrier. As long as we get close to the main tomb, it will definitely appear again."
"And plants have places to take root. No matter how much they mutate, they can't just uproot and move at will!"
"So I guess the vine just now should be growing next to the main tomb."
"But everyone should be careful. Plants that attack people are not easy to deal with, especially they can drill holes and may pop up at any time, making people hard to guard against."
However! Wu Xie and his friends who left did not see that a vine dripping with green liquid came out from the stone wall.
The vine seemed to be covered with a layer of dry old bark, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of scales, which looked a little weird.
The vine dripping with green liquid stretched directly to the mouths of the two mummies, and the liquid fell into the mouths of the mummies.
Suddenly, a sound of bones turning was heard, and the mummies slowly raised their heads and opened their mouths to welcome the dripping green liquid.
Fortunately, Wu Xie and his friends left early, otherwise, Fatty would be extremely surprised to see this scene.
Wu Xie and his friends did not know what happened here.
Soon the vine drilled into the stone wall again and disappeared, leaving only two mummies.
At this time, the corners of the two mummies' shriveled mouths slightly raised, revealing a weird and creepy smile.
