E Huan woke up in the early afternoon. Fortunately, E Huan was in excellent physical condition. He only suffered head trauma after being hit by the python's tail, but did not suffer a concussion. After waking up, he ate some liquid food, left the camp, and kicked the python corpse angrily.
He kicked a few times and cursed: "You deserve to die."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "General E, there is no need to be angry. The big python died in the same place. He was loyal to his duty and should be treated kindly."
Chen Wen suggested, "Sir, I think python skin is tough and cannot be penetrated by arrows. We can use the skin to make armor. It would be a pity to abandon it."
After Chen Wen said this, Liu Qi made a move, but looking at the giant locust that had been cut off by seppuku and tail, he couldn't bear it anymore and decided to give up the idea of using python skin as armor and said: "Brother Wen, the big python is dead even if it's dead.
Let him go, keep his body intact, and bury him with the owner of the tomb after the tomb is opened."
"Yes." Chen Wen glanced at the giant python regretfully. He didn't take the gall, drank the blood, and didn't use the python skin. It's a century-old snake spirit. It's a pity.
However, Chen Wen quite appreciated Liu Qi's compassion for the snake and said: "Master, I will get some dead branches to cover the python corpse for a few days to protect it from wind and sun, so that it can stay for a few more days."
"Go, cover the python's body and start exploring the grave." After Liu Qi finished speaking, he and E Huan dragged the python's body to the shade.
When dragging the python corpse, Liu Qi found that there was indeed a long scar five feet away from the python's tail. It was probably injured by Huang Zhong. As for how Huang Zhong could have hurt the python and escaped, it was really unimaginable.
Liu Qi, Chen Wen, E Huan, the Eight Bronze Men, and Hua Tuo's poisonous pills almost killed the giant python. From this point of view, Huang Zhong's courage and martial arts were extraordinary. He was an unparalleled hero and a peerless magical power.
, Liu Qi thought that after returning to Xiangyang, he would learn a few tricks from his master Huang Zhong.
After Chen Wen and several bronze guards covered the python with some dead branches and leaves, everyone began to explore around the pool.
There is no suspense. The results of the drill show that there is indeed a Chu tomb next to the pool. Then Liu Qi selected dozens of drill points near and far for the drill, and basically determined the direction, direction and location of the Chu tomb.
Excavation point.
After a night's rest and deciding on the excavation plan, Liu Qi dug the soil on a slope at dawn the next day, from far to near, from shallow to deep, and dug out a tunnel at noon.
After replenishing dry food, they continued to dig along the corridor. When they reached a sealed masonry chamber, several bronze guards pushed together and saw the bricks falling over. A terrifying scene appeared again, and the stone chamber was not covered with water.
It's big, but it's full of ground rats, countless of them.
The rats in the stone room were frightened and ran around, flying towards the bronze guard's face like moths to a flame.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Qi drew his sword and shouted to run quickly. After fighting with Chen Wen and E Huan, he danced his sword to make it airtight. In an instant, the corridor was filled with rat corpses, but there were too many rats.
Two bronze guards kept coming out of the earthen walls on both sides of the corridor, and their faces had been scratched.
Everyone fought and retreated, but the rats were in hot pursuit. When everyone exited the corridor and returned to the road, rats everywhere were still swooping on Liu Qi and others like locusts.
The two bronze guards who had their faces scratched walked less than ten meters when they retreated to the road. After shaking twice, they heard two thuds and fell to the ground. Chen Wen exclaimed: "No, Shuo Shu."
poisonous."
Liu Qi took a glance and saw that the Bronze Man Guards twitched several times after falling to the ground. He kicked his legs and died before he could even close his eyes. Immediately, he saw countless rats in the tomb jumping on the bodies of the two Bronze Man Guards.
Biting and biting like crazy, it’s terrible to watch.
After being distracted for a moment, he saw several tomb rats rushing towards the door in front of Liu Qi. E Huan was surprised to see a leap, and regardless of the attack of the tomb rats behind him, he moved his whole body forward to block the attack of the tomb rats on Liu Qi.
Several tomb rats that rushed towards Liu Qi's door collided with E Huan's crocodile armor and were knocked unconscious immediately. Two tomb rats behind him climbed onto E Huan's crocodile armor, took a few bites at the crocodile armor, and immediately fell to the ground.
Death does not mean that crocodile armor cannot bite. You must know that crocodiles are also natural enemies of mice.
The tomb rat is an elf in the tomb and seems to have an IQ. When he discovered that the tomb rat would die if he bit the crocodile armor, he gave up the attack on E Huan and focused his main rat power on Liu Qi to attack Liu Qi. Liu Qi could be attacked by the tomb rat if he was not careful.
At the front door, it is very likely that he will meet the same fate as the bronze guard who fell to the ground and died.
Fortunately, if you are fighting rats on the open ground, as long as you are careful, you can hold them off for a while.
Chen Wen, E Huan and the Bronze Man Guards' eyes were red from the killing. There were piles of rat corpses in front of them. Liu Qi and others were gradually losing their physical strength, but the tomb rats were still pouring out from the corridor, and they could not kill them all.
Liu Qi fought with the rats while thinking of a way to escape. Unfortunately, there were too many rats in the tomb, and there was no way to escape the rats' attack. I'm afraid that when everyone exhausted their physical strength, the Chu King's Tomb would become the burial place for Liu Qi and others.
It will become a delicious meal for the tomb rats.
Come on, since you can't escape, then fight with the tomb rats until the last moment. Liu Qi tried to use crazy slashing to force the rats back, but it had no effect. Instead, he provoked the tomb rats into groups.
The formation rushed towards Liu Qi.
Unfortunately, two more Bronze Guards were bitten by tomb rats and fell to the ground dead due to rat poison.
Along the way, he experienced many dangers without losing any troops. However, he did not expect that just when the Chu King's Tomb was about to see the light of day, he was attacked by thousands of tomb rats in the tomb, killing four bronze guards in succession.
Liu Qi was heartbroken when he saw this. The Bronze Guards were carefully selected by the housekeeper Liu Zhong for Liu Qi. They are also the family business that Liu Qi relies on to succeed. Every Bronze Guard is a precious asset.
Looking at the four bronze guards who had fought side by side with Zhang Hu in front of the mansion, Chen Sheng's three hundred soldiers died one after another. Liu Qi felt sad and angry from his heart, and shouted: "Avenge the guards, kill them for me."
, kill, kill.”
Liu Qi kept shouting "kill, kill, kill" to cheer up, but the blade of the sword was covered in rat blood. With one strike of the sword, more than a dozen tomb rats would be cut in half.
When Chen Wen, E Huan and the other four living bronze guards saw Liu Qi risking his life to kill the tomb rat, everyone became red-eyed and tried their best to kill as many as they could, killing as many as they could.
In any case, there is no way to escape from the swarm of rats. Only a strong man can fight to the end of his life with his arms cut off.
The strange thing is that Liu Qi and others were exhausted from the battle, their hands and feet were sore and numb, and their movements slowed down significantly. When they were about to be fatally attacked by the rats, the rats were still there, and there were still a large number of tomb rats pouring out of the corridor like a market.
, it seems that the wise ancestors used a pond full of cobras on the ground to protect the tomb from future generations, and a huge python was used to protect the tomb. A special tomb rat that reproduced very quickly was also developed to protect the tomb.
Regarding Goujian Sword, Liu Qi suddenly felt a sadness that was close at hand but far away. If no miracle occurred, death from the claws of a tomb rat that was no bigger than a potato would be a certainty. The rebirth of the glory of the Three Kingdoms would probably be such a tragedy.
The end of.
Liu Qi fought with the tomb rats until he became unconscious, and the sadness of the last moments of his life gradually rose from his heart. At this last moment, he suddenly heard a familiar whistle, and a huge ape rushed towards Liu Qi. It was Liu Qi.
The ape king, the ape king in the ancient forest path appears.
A cacophony of ape sounds was heard, and then countless apes rushed out from all over the mountains and plains. They trampled on the tomb rats when they saw them, pinched them with their hands and bit them, and a wonderful and fanatical battle between apes and rats was staged.
I saw the rats all around Liu Qi, the ape dynasty, trampling desperately. Good guy, when he stepped on his huge feet, a large amount of rat intestines, belly, and rat blood was released. The appearance of the forest apes instantly reversed Liu Qi's decline. The rats in the tomb
Forced to retreat, they retreated from the corridor like a tide, with a group of apes chasing them behind. The ground of the Chu King's Tomb was filled with corpses of tomb rats, making it impossible to get down.
Seeing this scene, Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. A miracle really happened at the last moment of his life. It is true that there is no road ahead, and I, Liu Qi, am lucky.
The group of rats was forced to retreat. Liu Qi took a breath to calm down his breathing. He saw the ape king nervously looking at the rat corpses all over the ground and the four bronze guards who had fallen dead on the ground. He seemed to be mourning the passing of these creatures.
I know that the ape king is human. Fortunately, the ape king was not shot in the ancient forest road. It seems that the ape must be spared and the ape can be spared. Helping the ape is also helping yourself. Throw away the sword in your hand that is covered with sticky rat blood, rat meat, and rat hair.
, Liu Qi cupped his fist towards the ape king, bent down slightly, and bowed: "Thank you for the rescue."
The ape king followed Liu Qi's example and bowed. His mouth was slurred and he couldn't hear clearly what he said. Judging from the shape of his mouth, it probably meant thank you for the rescue. This ape king is very human.
Liu Qi ordered the battlefield to be cleaned and ordered E Huan to carry the bodies of the four bronze guards back to the tent. The ape king followed Liu Qi step by step to the tent. He was obviously shocked by the cobra corpses floating in the pool in front of him and the shaded area not far ahead.
Python carcass covered by branches.
Liu Qi took out a piece of crocodile meat from a large sack and gave it to the ape king. The ape king was not polite, took it with both hands, swallowed it in one gulp, and lowered his mouth to look at the ape king's huge body and a small piece of crocodile meat.
It's simply not enough to satisfy your hunger.
In order to thank the Ape King for saving his life, Liu Qi gritted his lower teeth and simply offered several large packages of crocodile meat. The Ape King hesitated for a moment, only took one package, put the other packages back to their original places, and put a bunch of crocodile meat in his hand.
The crocodile-wrapped pieces were thrown to the apes who were helping the guards clean up the battlefield, which immediately caused a scramble among the apes.
Seeing that the ape king was not greedy, Liu Qi felt that the quality of the apes was pretty good and that these beasts were much better than some corrupt human officials, so he picked up his feet and patted the ape king's plush arms.
The ape king also followed Liu Qi's example and patted Liu Qi's shoulder, almost knocking Liu Qi down. He was such a powerful ape king.
Liu Qi and the Ape King are like brothers if you take pictures of me and I take pictures of you. If the Ape King and the apes can be kept, they will no longer have to worry about the attacks of tomb rats when digging the Chu King's Tomb. Thinking of this, Liu Qi put down
When my heart comes, I no longer have a sad face.
When the ape king saw Liu Qi getting close to him, he smiled. Although the smile was ugly, it could be seen that the smile was very sincere. Although the primitive apes have not yet fully evolved into a human race, they are still very naive and have no city to speak of.
Getting along with the King of Apes is much more practical than some close-talking friends in later generations.
Liu Qi saw that the guards had swept aside the rat carcasses on the ground, and ordered them to pour oil on the fire and burn it. Suddenly, the flames shot up into the sky, and the rat smell was unpleasant. However, when the apes saw the fire, they jumped for joy and screamed around the fire.
No wonder, fire is regarded as very sacred, and humans who use fire will worship it to the point of admiration.
After doing all this, Liu Qi ordered Chen Wen to check the feng shui of the tomb nearby and prepare to dig a pit nearby to bury the four bronze guards, so that the four bronze guards who were bitten beyond recognition by the tomb rats could be buried as soon as possible.
