MTL - Tomb Raider: Bandit Chief-Chapter 126

"After all, we may run into that group of cultural relic dealers. Bringing them is a guarantee, and it is also convenient for exploration work."

Wei Chuan nodded, and also replied: "It's okay, Mr. Wu has worked hard this time, and I thank Mr. Wu for his contribution to the protection of cultural relics."

When he said these words, Wei Chuan felt a little nauseous.

His identity is the same as Chen Chengcheng's, and he can think of something wrong with just a little thought.

His identity also deceived Wu Xie's idiot, how could he be able to hide from an old fritter like Wu Sansheng.

I'm afraid Wu Sansheng was thinking about how to deal with him.

 …

 …

The next morning, it was time to set off.

Because of the complicated and difficult mountain road, Pan Zi, who arrived here in advance, also found a farm guide.

The guide arrived with an ox cart, and set off with everyone and equipment.

"Corpse gas..."

Wei Chuan frowned when asked about the faint corpse aura emanating from the guide.

There is a problem with this wizard.

It seems that there is another boatman behind who also has a problem. work.

Chapter 217

After sitting in an ox cart for about an hour, everyone finally came to the river.

The next road will be by water.

It's not that you can't go by land, it's just that you need to go over mountains and mountains by land, and the distance is not short.

Looking into the distance along the river, you can see a series of mountains.

From here forward, it is the undeveloped primitive deep mountain boundary.

"Look, from here on, there will be no bullock carts at the next stop."

"You have to take a boat. The one in front is the boatman. Let me ask you if he can still sail today."

After tying up the ox rope, the guide old farmer pointed to a small wooden pavilion in front of him, and walked forward after saying a few words.

Looking forward, I saw a boatman smoking a pipe in the small wooden pavilion.

The boatman's complexion was pale, and he looked as if he had been soaked in water, which was very strange.

At his feet lay a **** dog.

When the old farmer asked the boatman, Wu Sansheng was not idle and took out the map from his pocket.

"Professor Wei, look... Our current location is here, so the location on the map should be at the end of the river!"

"From the waterway.."

"Third Uncle, something's wrong!" At this moment, Mr. He came over with a tablet.

"From the perspective of the route, we can actually go by land. Although it takes half a day longer, it is safer than taking that small boat."

Hearing that everyone was discussing to go by land, the expression of the old farmer guide changed immediately.

Hastily quickened his pace and walked up to the crowd and said:

"It's not possible to go by land, and you have to detour and climb mountains, so it's faster to go by water!"

"The boatman said, you can go right away!"

Hearing this, Young Master Hei immediately became upset.

He has a panoramic map in his hand, and he has calculated it layer by layer, so there is absolutely no problem.

The boat in front looked less than one meter wide, so it seemed unsafe to cross such a big river.

At this time, Wu Sanxing glanced at the old farmer's guide, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stopped Hey Shao's words.

"It's all here, so let's go by water, and it can be faster."

Hearing this, Young Master He also nodded helplessly.

High technology is useless, my heart is bitter..

“Old fritters..”

After glancing at Wu Sansheng, the corner of Wei Chuan's mouth twitched slightly.

Wu Sansheng definitely found out that there was something wrong with the old farmer's guide.

He didn't say it, just because the waterway was really fast, and he wasn't afraid of the old farmer's tricks.

"Old man, please talk to the boatman, we will leave now."

"Okay, let me talk to him, you guys move things up first."

After receiving a few big red notes from Wu Sansheng, the old farmer's guide went to call the boatman.

Seeing this, Wu Sansheng also nodded to everyone, and brought the equipment to the ship.

After placing the equipment, Wu Sansheng lowered his voice and said:

"The place we're going to is probably a corpse cave..."

"Corpse cave? What is a corpse cave?" Wu Xie and Young Master He both asked curiously when they heard the corpse cave.

"To be precise, it should be a corpse cave. The general funeral pits and large Fuling can be called corpse caves, which means that there are countless corpses piled up inside."

"The black dog before had a heavy corpse aura, and it probably got it in that corpse cave."

At this time, Wei Chuan also explained aloud.

"Professor Wei, I didn't expect you to be an expert too? The third master and I also met once when we were exploring."

Hearing Wei Chuan's words, Pan Zi immediately praised him.

Wei Chuan shook his head, and whispered to everyone: "I am an archaeologist, and this is not the first time I have seen the corpse cave."

"Not only the dog, but even the guide and the boatman have corpse aura, but it's not that strong."

"Corpse gas? Does it mean that their bodies are aging too quickly?" Wu Xie looked innocent and sympathetic.

"You..."

At this moment, Wu Sansheng shook his head helplessly.

"Corpse gas... is obtained by eating dead human flesh. It is said that eating dead human flesh can make the body grow corpse gas and avoid some dirty things."

"Eating dead human flesh?!"

Hearing this, Wu Xie and Young Master He's expressions immediately changed.

Looking at the boatman and the old farmer's guide again, the two swallowed and felt a chill down their spines.

Eat human flesh?

In this age, I still hear this kind of thing.

Just thinking about it makes me spit...

"Third Uncle...how about we go overland? Guide them...maybe there is a problem!"

After a while, Wu Xie said something with a strange expression on his face, Hey Young Master also panicked.

Seeing Wu Xie and Hei Shao, two novices panicked, Wu Sansheng just laughed.

"It's okay to go by land, but it's too time-consuming."

"Besides, there is also a hole drawn on the silk script, which is probably the corpse hole."

"Let's go by water. This way, we can explore the ancient tomb before those cultural relic dealers. It also guarantees Chen Chengcheng's safety."

Speaking of this, Wu Sansheng looked at Wei Chuan and asked, "What does Professor Wei think?"

Hearing this, Wei Chuan also nodded seriously.

"I'm fine. I'm still confident in dealing with some risks that may be encountered during the archaeological process."

"Complete the exploration work first, so we can sit on the sidelines and find a way to rescue the girl."

"Little Third Master, I will protect you from now on. It's nothing serious, just two old men."

At this time, Pan Zi also patted Wu Xie on the shoulder, and spoke confidently.

It was not the first time he had seen him in the corpse cave.

Moreover, the guide and the boatman are both old men, so it's no problem for him to punch one of them!

He already had a life in his hands, so he didn't care about such a small risk at all.

When Wu Xie and Mr. He heard Pan Zi's words, and then looked at the boatman and guide, they were indeed relieved.

In just a few sentences, the guide and the boatman came over.

A group of people boarded two small fishing boats respectively.

The former ship is manned by a boatman, and the latter ship is carried by a guide.

The two small boats moved slowly towards the front of the river, one behind the other.

After walking for about five or six minutes, the two boats sailed along the river into the mountains.

There are cliffs on both sides of the river, and there is a river in the middle.

Looking towards the cliffs and mountains on both sides of the river, you can even see many artificially dug stone cave tunnels.

At the end of the line of sight, there is a mountain that cuts off the river.

At the bottom of the mountain, there is a dark cave.

The water flowed down and entered the cave, and the cave was the only way forward. .

Chapter 218

"After you enter the cave, don't speak loudly, so as not to startle the God of the River."

When the distance from the cave was less than a hundred meters, the voice of the boatman reached everyone's ears.

"There really is a river god?"

"River God?"

Wu Xie and Hei Shao, who were going to the tomb for the first time, both asked curiously.

For them, everything about ancient tombs and ghosts is mysterious.

Seeing the curious looks of the two, the boatman also explained a little:

"As long as you don't speak loudly and don't look into the water, don't disturb the God of the River."

Hearing this, Wu Sansheng's eyes lit up, and he asked with great interest:

"What's the matter, there are still water ghosts in the water? Have you ever seen what a water ghost looks like?"

"Oh, what are water ghosts?" After the boatman snorted coldly, he continued:

"I can't even name the things under the water."

"If you have the guts, you can take a look later, but you can only take a look."

"If you're lucky, you'll only see a black shadow. If you're unlucky...you'll be fainted even if you're scared."

When the boatman said this, everyone fell silent.

A strange atmosphere spread on the ship.

Sitting on the bow of the boat, Wei Chuan curled his lips in disgust as he listened to the discussions of the people behind him.
