Chapter 24

Centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, geckos and toads are collectively known as the five poisons, and are also the symbols of Gu masters.

"What do you mean?" I looked at Lao Zhang in confusion.

"It's obvious that these bugs died not long ago, and they have been dead for at most three days!" Lao Zhang said with a worried look: "I hope those Gu masters have left, I don't want to deal with them."

I wholeheartedly agree with what he said. After all, I don’t want to be controlled unknowingly.

"There's a dead man ahead!"

Suddenly, I heard a person approaching the stairs inside shout in surprise.

His words swept through my mind like a bomb.

"Another person died? Who is it?" Wangcai asked that person.

"No, looking at his clothes, he doesn't look like one of us!"

This sentence successfully aroused my curiosity. I ran over to take a look, but was grabbed back by Lao Zhang.

He shook his head slightly towards me, and I understood immediately, and now I waited for them to go over and take a look first.

"It feels like this costume belongs to the Miao ethnic group." The second in command took one and tinkered with the corpse.

Lao Zhang waited for a while, and then walked over after seeing that there was no emergency, and I followed him quietly.

But before I could get closer, I took a cursory glance at the corpse and instantly felt a warm current rushing up from my stomach.

"Ugh..." I quickly ran to the side and vomited.

The corpse's face was already disfigured, as if it had been bitten by something unknown. What's more terrible is that the thing that bit him didn't have hard teeth and was directly ground to death.

His hand was irregularly limp on the ground. It was probably broken in more than one place. One of his shoes was missing, and his exposed feet seemed to have been worn away.

When Lao Zhang saw my appearance, he didn't mock me like before. He just walked to the corpse and turned him over.

I also felt relieved, but I just watched quietly from a distance, for fear that I would vomit because of this thing.

"Looking at it like this, he must have been dragged here." Lao Zhang said, looking at the body.

I also saw something vaguely. The corpse's back was bloody and bloody, and its clothes were worn to pieces.

"Why couldn't he be dragged while he was still alive?" the second-in-command retorted, "and then he ran here and died?"

"Whatever you think." Lao Zhang glanced at him indifferently: "Cheer up, it will only be more dangerous down there."

"Hmph!" The second-in-command sneered and ignored Lao Zhang.

Following Wangcai's command, we walked down.

I followed Lao Zhang and Ling'er because only in this way could I feel safe.

"Boy, there is no need to be so scared." Lao Zhang turned his head and looked at me and said: "Miao Gu Masters, they will eradicate the roots. In other words, wherever they walk, it is absolutely safe for us. Of course,

It does not rule out power far exceeding theirs."

"What do you mean?" I chased after him curiously and asked.

"It is impossible for a Gu master to act alone, but now we have seen a corpse. There must be someone in front." Old Zhang said slowly: "As long as they are in front, they will definitely help us eliminate the danger."

After hearing what he said, I understood. As long as there are no corpses in front of us, we are safe.

It was true as he said. We walked down the stairs for about ten minutes and came to a small platform. The small platform was also covered with insect corpses and some decaying rotten meat.

"Look, it's the same as what I said." Lao Zhang pointed to the rotten meat and said: "These things are called corpses. They are transformed from the living dead. They have no independent thinking, but they will fight to kill living creatures when they see them.

"

I nodded: "This thing shouldn't be strong, there aren't even many insect corpses."

Lao Zhang sneered: "Haha, don't be short-sighted. When a Gu master fights with living creatures, he uses Gu insects, but fighting with other things is different..."

I was confused by what he said. I was about to ask for more information, but I was interrupted by Lao Zhang, waving his hand and indicating to go forward.

As we walked down, it was no longer a staircase, but the surroundings did not fall into darkness, because there were candles on both sides every not far away, and it was only later that I realized that they were long-light lamps.

You can vaguely see a gate in front of you, not far away, but because the light is too dim, you can't see it clearly.

After getting closer, I could see clearly that this was a huge arch, but it had been blown open. I don't know whether it was because of poor air circulation here, or whether it was just a short time after the explosion, and I could still smell some gunpowder.

It was here that Wangcai's temperament suddenly changed!

His whole body was shaking uncontrollably, as if he was under control.

I wanted to go over and have a look, but was stopped by Lao Zhang. He ran over first and took Wangcai's backpack back with lightning speed.

The remaining people looked at Wangcai anxiously and didn't pay much attention to Lao Zhang's action.

Lao Zhang took out the wrench from his backpack.

Watching this scene, my eyes widened instantly: "You want to steal money?!"

But what he got back was a look from Lao Zhang: "You dare to think so! No matter who is in the hands of this thing, it's a hot potato. I won't do it if there's no money-making or life-saving business!"

"Then what are you doing!" I pestered him and yelled.

Lao Zhang walked over slowly and handed me the ring finger.

Then he turned to look at the second-in-command and others with a pity expression: "Let's go, they have been poisoned a long time ago."

"What do you mean?" I looked at Lao Zhang in surprise: "Are you lying to me? When did it happen?"

"That corpse contains poison, or in other words, the poison on his body is not dead." Lao Zhang shook his head and said: "The poison ran into their bodies when Wangcai and the others were close."

"Impossible! I don't believe it!" I retorted angrily: "How do you know they were bewitched? Are they just shaking because of their wealth?"

Lao Zhang shook his head and slapped me on the back of the head.

"Isn't this the best proof that I can get back the ring from your hands safely and safely to people like them who regard their wealth as their lives?"

At this time, I completely calmed down, and I was still working on it. Fortunately, Lao Zhang gave me a hand at that time, so no one from me ran over to touch the body.

Yes, desperadoes like them will never let go of anything valuable, let alone this priceless ring?

"Then why don't they look like Wangcai?" I asked puzzledly, seeing that there was nothing unusual about them.

"Haha, I revealed it when I first went to the tomb. There is something weird about this wealth."
