The screams of Mr. Zhou came from the other side of the stone gate, but the sound soon stopped abruptly. A moment later, the sound of "crunching" chewing was heard, and the bloody corpse seemed to be eating his body.
Hu Jiu stared blankly at the gap, with a look of panic in his eyes.
Then he turned around and said to Mo Shouchen: "I...I didn't expect the bloody corpse to come so fast! I didn't mean it! I just think that the Faqiu Seal should not be left in the hands of people like him, I...
"
Mo Shouchen nodded and said, "I know, let's go."
Although the gap in the stone door was very small, Mo Shouchen could not be 100% sure that the blood corpse would not be able to get out.
Besides, if someone like Mr. Zhou died, there was nothing to regret, so he thought it would be better to leave here quickly.
"Oh, let's go quickly!"
Hu Jiu looked back at the gap in the stone door, and then followed Mo Shouchen back along the tunnel with some dejection. It seemed that he felt very guilty for the death of Master Zhou.
The two people walked through the tunnel and came to the chain bridge. When they came, there were still six people, but now they were the only ones left.
Mo Shouchen couldn't help but lament that sometimes greed can really kill people, but the most tragic thing is that some people who should be alive in the world are killed by the greed of others.
Seeing Mo Shouchen looking at the chain bridge in a daze, Hu Jiu walked up to him and said, "When you get out, you can choose one of the Qiuyin and the flute."
Mo Shouchen turned his head and looked at Hu Jiu and asked, "That Mr. Zhou paid such a high price to find a flute. Do you know what this flute is used for?"
"I didn't know what Mr. Zhou was looking for before, but after seeing the murals and bloody corpses in the tomb, I suddenly remembered a legend about the flute."
Hu Jiu then briefly told the legend about the flute.
Hundreds of years ago, the Jurchen tribe flourished for a while, and one of their emperors was fatally wounded in a battle against foreigners when he was young.
When he was dying, his compatriot brother got a flute from nowhere. It is said that holding the hand of the dying person and blowing the flute can recall his soul back to his body.
However, the life of the flute player will be linked to the life of the person being saved. That is to say, no matter who among them dies in the future, the other one will also perish.
After the young emperor was saved, the first thing he thought about was not how to thank his compatriot brother. Instead, he felt that his brother was more than ten years older than him and would definitely die before him.
So he actually found a shaman who knew magic and made his brother an immortal and poisonous man to extend his life.
After listening to Hu Jiu's story, Mo Shouchen couldn't help but think of the bloody corpse in the tomb. If this legend is true, then the bloody corpse is probably the tragic brother in the story.
And buried in the main tomb is the inhumane emperor.
Now that Mr. Zhou is dead, the origin of the flute cannot be confirmed, but Mo Shouchen remembered the four words that the fourth man said when he was unconscious.
The life-locking flute keeps the body alive, the mummy falls, and the eight doors open!
He didn't know why the fourth child said these four sentences for no reason, but the "life-locking flute" he mentioned should be the flute in the coffin.
Judging from the name, it is indeed somewhat similar to the legend Hu Jiu just told.
Could this flute really be able to summon back a person’s lost soul?
Thinking of this, Mo Shouchen's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
At this time, Hu Jiu suddenly urged: "Let's go quickly. It's best for us to leave this ancient tomb before dawn."
As he spoke, he took the lead on the chain bridge. When he reached the center, Mo Shouchen also stepped onto the bridge.
The two people walked forward cautiously on the swaying chain bridge.
After Hu Jiu walked to the opposite platform, he was ready to help Mo Shouchen hold the iron rope, but when he turned around, a look of horror appeared on his face.
"Be careful!" Hu Jiu pointed behind Mo Shouchen and shouted.
At this time, Mo Shouchen had just reached the middle of the chain bridge. He quickly turned around and found that the elusive mantis had stepped onto the chain bridge at some point and was approaching him at an extremely fast speed.
If he was on flat ground, he could still deal with the mantis controlled by the ghost for a while.
But now he was on the chain bridge and couldn't even stand firmly, let alone turn around to deal with the mantis holding the dagger.
There is an abyss beneath your feet. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces if you fall.
Mo Shouchen slowly turned around on the chain bridge. He stared at the approaching cockroach while thinking about how to solve the big trouble in front of him.
Although they are also on a chain bridge, the mantis' movements are very light, as if there is no weight at all.
Seeing the mantis getting closer and closer, Mo Shouchen could clearly see the pair of eyes covered in black, but he still didn't come up with any countermeasures.
This ghost is really difficult to deal with.
etc!
Ghost?
Mo Shouchen suddenly realized that he was wrong. He had been thinking about how to deal with the mantis just now, but in fact, what he really wanted to solve was the ghost that controlled the mantis' corpse.
For him, ghosts are much easier to deal with than humans.
Mantis took a few steps and came to Mo Shouchen. She kept a stiff smile on her face, and the body fragrance she had on her body had long been covered by the smell of blood.
She held the iron rope with one hand, and slashed Mo Shouchen's neck with the dagger in the other hand.
At this time, Mo Shouchen had no way to avoid it and could only watch as the dagger struck his neck.
Hu Jiu, who was standing on the platform, also exclaimed. In his opinion, Mo Shouchen had no chance of survival.
But what he didn't expect was that when the dagger was still a few centimeters away from Mo Shouchen's neck, Mantis was frozen as if a immobilization spell had been cast on him.
Mo Shouchen looked at Mantis with a successful smile on his face. It seemed that he had made the right bet.
At this moment, the shadow of the mantis on the cliff was entangled by several red thorns, and these thorns became tighter and tighter, and in the end, the shadow on the cliff was cut into pieces.
After the ghost shadow was eliminated, the mantis on the chain bridge suddenly lost its vitality. She swayed twice and then fell directly into the abyss.
Mo Shouchen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned around and continued walking on the chain bridge to the opposite side.
There were no more problems in the second half of the journey. When we were almost at the end, Hu Jiu, who was standing on the platform, stretched out his left hand.
Mo Shouchen grabbed Hu Jiu's left hand and jumped onto the platform, but before he could stand firm, he felt a cold in his chest. When he lowered his head, he saw that a sharp dagger had pierced his chest...
