Chapter 64 Tiankeng

This Siberian tiger is huge in size and has brown-yellow hair. There are many narrow black stripes on its back and on its sides. Usually there are two close to the willow leaf-shaped, with a large and round head. Several black horizontal lines on its forehead are often colluded in the middle, just like the word "king", which is often called the "king of the forest" and "king of the beasts". It has short and round ears, black on the back, and a white spot in the center.

We were shocked by its sudden screams. Yang Qi hid behind Duan Tianya in fear. Duan Tianya told us not to look back at the tiger's eyes. He took out a black iron dagger and observed the tiger's movements.

The tiger slowly walked towards us, and everyone was nervous like never before. The tiger suddenly yelled and rushed over to us. Duan Tianya shouted: Everyone should avoid it, it is coming. When the tiger was about to come, Duan Tianya got up and kicked the tiger to the ground.

The tiger was kicked like this and began to howl wildly, sweeping towards Duan Tianya with one claw. Duan Tianya easily dodged, and the tiger slapped Duan Tianya with its front paws again. Duan Tianya could not dodge at all, and was caught on his chest, and immediately several bloody Taoists appeared, and his clothes were also scratched.

Duan Tianya grinned in pain and was also very angry. He deliberately stood on the edge of the sinkhole and teased the tiger. The tiger was very angry and rushed towards Duan Tianya. As soon as Duan Tianya dodged, the tiger fell directly. With a bang, the tiger fell heavily from the ground of the sinkhole, but died after a few screams.

Everyone saw Duan Tianya killing the tiger so easily, even Yang Qi admired it. This was the first time I saw such a big tiger. Liu Xing said: It’s such a pity. I didn’t bring a rope today. If I had a rope, I would go down to get the tiger’s courage.

I said: Let's go back, come back tomorrow, now we know the location of the sinkhole; we were very unwilling to return to the camp, and Wang Meng and the others asked me if I had found the sinkhole? I said: I found it, it was on the hill, and others were very happy to hear it.

When I came back, I felt that Liu Xing was very strange. Liu Xing looked back at the sinkhole from time to time. I guess he must be thinking about the tiger's corpse. I really got it. I went out not long after I came back. When I checked my backpack, I lost a rope, which was more than 100 meters of mountaineering rope, which was very strong.

Duan Tianya was afraid that Liu Xing would have any danger, so he followed him. Liu Xing arrived at the sinkhole and saw that the tiger's body was still there, so he tied the rope to a tree and went down the sinkhole along the rope. When he went down, a snake came out of the tree on the way. Liu Xing was startled by the snake, and his hand fell down.

Liu Xing said with a whistle, feeling that he was going to be finished. At this critical moment, he grabbed Liu Xing with one hand. Liu Xing opened his eyes and saw that it was Duan Tianya. Duan Tianya grabbed the rope with one hand and Liu Xing with the other. Liu Xing said: Old Duan is really grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I would have been crushed to pieces.

Duan Tianya said: I'm almost out of strength if you can grab the rope first, otherwise we will jump down together, maybe I'll have a glimmer of hope to take you on my back.

Liu Xing suddenly reacted. He quickly grabbed the rope and smiled at Duan Tianya. They went down to the ground of the sinkhole. Liu Xing wiped his sweat and sat on a stone.

Duan Tianya asked him what he was doing here, and he replied: Didn’t you kill a tiger just now? I thought that if you come tomorrow, the tiger’s corpse would be bad. Maybe it would be eaten by some ants or insects.

I thought to take a rope while it was dark

Come here and come here to get tiger gall, tiger blood, and of course tiger whip. These things are all good medicinal materials. Forget tiger skin, it is difficult to take and is easy to be discovered by outsiders.

Halfway through the ground, a snake suddenly emerged, which scared me. I didn't catch it and fell down. Fortunately, I was saved when you came.

Duan Tianya thought to himself that you came for this tiger. Bai Jiangzuo was right and saw your motive. Liu Xing had enough time and picked up the dagger and removed the tiger from a huge amount. Except for the important things on the tiger, there were no other things like tiger skin and tiger flesh.

Duan Tianya felt it was a pity, so he found some dry firewood to light a pile of fire, unload the tiger meat, and roasted it directly. Liu Xing thought that he had forgotten about this. When the tiger meat was cooked, they started eating it. This was the first time they ate tiger meat. If this matter spread, they had to go to prison, so they could not tell anyone.

The two of them were full, and Duan Tianya told him: Don’t talk about eating tiger meat when we go back. Let’s go while it’s not dark yet. They were about to climb the rope when they heard a thud. They followed the direction of the sound and saw that it was an ant, which were each more than 20 centimeters long.

They quickly grabbed the rope and climbed up. After leaving the ground, the ants crawled to the tiger's corpse and started eating the tiger's flesh. After a while, the tiger turned into a bone stand. Liu Xing said: Why do these ants look so familiar? Are they the ants that eat the Overlord Python? Duan Tianya told him that they were those ants.

After eating tiger meat, the ants lined up and returned to their nests. Duan Tianya said: Stop looking, let’s go quickly. They climbed up, and the rope was directly in place, and they would still use it tomorrow.

When they returned to the camp, I saw Liu Xing holding a package. He opened it and showed it to me. When I saw that it was all on tigers, with tiger gall and bottles of blood. This should be a tiger whip. I said: Liu Xing, you have been doing it a lot, why didn’t you take tiger skin?

He replied: It is inconvenient to hold the tiger's skin. What if it is discovered? The tiger is a national first-class protected animal. If I knew that if the tiger was killed, I would go to jail, so I didn't dare to take it.

I smelled a scent of meat. They looked at me and looked at their expressions. I probably knew what was going on. They must have eaten the tiger meat, and there was still oil on their mouths.

Duan Tianya told me: We found a large ants, which were the ants that ate the Overlord Python. The ants actually gave the tiger only the skeletons left. I told him: There were such ants in the Daxinganling area. When they smelled the fishy smell of meat, they would come in groups to have a big meal.

Yuan Yingying saw the three of us talking and came to join in the fun. She asked us what we were talking about. I told her: Liu Xing wanted to catch the rabbit and eat it for everyone, but the rabbit was not caught and was scared back by the wild boar.

I had no choice but to tell the truth, so I could only make up a lie to lie to her. After hearing this, she never asked anything again, but she continued: When you three were not there, Yang Qi told me that there was a large tomb in Zhangling. Once he was walking around in the mountains and forests, he suddenly tripped over something on his feet. He got up and saw that it was a statue.

The statue looks like the wolf-headed warrior we saw. He was very scared at the time and didn't know what monster it was. Later, more statues were found in that area, and their shapes were unique.

Duan Tian

Ya said: Will we go to the sinkhole tomorrow or follow those people? I replied: Those people must be looking for the tomb. I feel like they know where they know. I suggest following them first and putting them on the sinkhole first.

Yuan Yingying also agreed. She felt that the sinkhole was nothing special, but there was an extra aircraft. We chatted for an afternoon, and everyone finished their meal in the evening. During the drone surveillance, there was no movement on the people there. It was not completely dark yet, so I wanted to take a shower in the nearby river.

The river was less than 200 meters away from the camp. I came to the river and took off my clothes and was about to go down the river. I heard the sound of rushing in the water. The sound was like a boating boat. I thought there was auditory hallucination, so I didn't care much.

When I went down the river, I heard the strange sound again, and it was getting closer and closer. It was as if in front of me. I suddenly looked up and found a boat opposite the river. It was an ancient passenger ship. The boat was covered with red lanterns. I only heard joyful laughter from the boat, including men and women.

I suddenly felt a little scared, and I quickly put on my clothes when I got ashore. I saw a person walking out of the boat. He stood at the bow of the boat and started reciting poems. I hid in the grass. After the scholar finished reciting poems, he suddenly looked in my direction. He only heard him say: Why is the young master hiding in the grass? Why don’t he come out to see him?

Damn, he discovered this. This boat suddenly came from the river. It must be a ghost boat. This scholar might have changed. Be careful. I walked out of the grass and said, "Where is the master? What's the matter here?"

I replied: I am a native of Jiangnan and come to the north to do business. The weather is hot today, so I take a shower here.

He then said: Why don’t this young master come and have fun together? When I heard this, he wanted to trick me into the boat and attack me so that he could be reincarnated.

I had to bite the bullet and get on his boat. I was about to board the boat when someone shouted behind me: Bai Jiangzuo should not get on the ghost ship. He is the water ghost in the river. When I turned back, I saw that Duan Tianya was shooting arrows with a bow. An arrow shot over and directly penetrated the scholar's body. The scholar screamed and turned into ashes.

The boat also disappeared. I found myself in the middle of the river, and the water almost exceeded my shoulders. Suddenly, I didn't know what was pulling me. I was in the river for a long time. Duan Tianya saw that it was not good, so he jumped into the river and rescued me.

I lay on the shore, gasping and vomiting a few mouthfuls of river water. Duan Tianya said: Why are you here to take a bath by yourself? Don’t call anyone else? The one you just talked to was a water ghost. He has been dead for hundreds of years. He asked you to board the boat. In fact, you have already walked into the deep water area and he will be reincarnated when you die.

If I hadn't asked you for something and found out that you were not in the camp, you might have become his next substitute. The water ghost was looking for a substitute to be reincarnated. I said: I was fascinated by him just now, and I also doubted how there were ancient ships here, but I was still caught.

Thank you, by the way, aren’t you asking me for something? Let’s talk about what’s going on?

Duan Tianya said: Yang Qi is gone. Just now, I wanted to find him to find out the situation;

What? Yang Qi is gone, have the others come to him again? Duan Tianya replied: Not only Yang Qi is gone, but also Yuan Yingying and his men are gone.

I said to Duan Tianya: Yang Qi must have been taken away by Yuan Yingying, because Yang Qi knew too much, it must be related to the tomb here.
