Chapter 163 Going deep into the swamp
While running away, Wu Laosan and his friends were deceived by the poisonous snakes and used their voices to the Dead Pond, which was the base for hatching the little chicken-combed snake.
As soon as any living creature passes through the Dead Man's Pool, it will be absorbed on the body by the young snakes in the Dead Man's Pool. The small snake will pierce into the human flesh to suck blood and grow. When it grows big enough, it will turn blood-red.
At that time, the venomousness of the cockscoon snake was enough to poison the host. They would bite the host to death without hesitation, thereby laying eggs in the body of the corpse and continuing to hatch the small snake.
During this process, Wu Laosan lost several more friends, and now only eight of them are left. He finally escaped into the underground drainage system.
"San Master, what should we do now? I have been walking for so long and haven't seen any baby. Could it be that you are coaxing us?" The mop looked at Wu Laosan and asked.
The mop and the others were deceived into this strange place by Wu Laosan. They were worried all the way, but they didn't catch any valuable things. They were already full of resentment and didn't trust Wu Laosan so much.
Wu Laosan waved his hand and said, "You go out and ask. I, Wu Laosan, have been in the world for so many years, and I have always spitted and nailed. Do I need to deceive you? All the good things are in the underground palace!"
The mop asked half-believingly, "San Master, when will we go to the underground palace of Queen Mother of the West? This ghost place is so dangerous. We have lost more than half of our manpower. Brothers want to get the things early and go back."
Wu Laosan took off his gas mask, lit a cigarette on his own, took a breath before saying, "Don't worry, we can't find the entrance to the underground palace. We need to wait for someone, only she can take us to find the entrance to the underground palace!"
"Who are you waiting for? When will he come?" Mop looked at him in confusion and asked.
"Wen Jin. Maybe I've been here in the past few days. If you want to find the baby, give me some patience. Wait a little longer!" Wu Laosan said with a mouthful of smoke.
After hearing Wu Laosan's words, the mop and the guys next to him sighed helplessly, but they had no choice but to do anything. Wu Laosan was unwilling to take them there, and they would not dare to go down no matter what.
In the camp, Chen Hao sat cross-legged on the ground to keep watch. Six hours had passed, and the young man walked out of the tent.
"You go and rest, I'll wait." The young man said lightly.
Chen Hao didn't talk nonsense, got into his tent and took another night before leaving.
I don’t know how long it took, but in a daze, I heard the sound of everyone talking outside the tent, and it sounded like Fatty and Pan Zi.
The fat man said, "Old Pan, the man said that he would be able to get to the position where the third master was sending the signal cigarette after another day. If we go there, what do you plan to do if we can't find the third master?"
Pan Zi said: "The Third Master will not disappear for no reason. He will meet people alive and see the corpse when he dies. No matter what, I will find him!"
The fat man said, "Ha! I knew you would say that. But I said ugly things ahead. Fat master, I came to touch the gold and make a fortune this time. If I don't see the third master when I get to the place, I will take the equipment and work it alone. When I touch the things, I will go back! This place is so big, I won't go with you to find him."
Pan Zi sneered: "Hmph! Fatty, now I'm thinking about getting rich by myself. Why don't you have any collective consciousness? Okay, I won't stop you. If you can't find the third master when you arrive, you can do whatever you want, and I'll go find him by myself!"
The fat man said, "Hey, Lao Pan. What's wrong with you? Why don't I have a collective consciousness? Look at the macho and the guy. They often disappear. Maybe they work alone with us on their backs. How many underworld weapons have they touched! It's not too much for me to disappear once, right?"
"I really can't do anything to you, fat man! I can't control you, you're so fucking love!" Pan Zi said impatiently.
Listening to the sound, it was just that the two of them were talking. Wu Xie should still be in a coma, otherwise the fat man would not say these words in front of Wu Xie.
After listening to their conversation, Chen Hao felt like laughing. This fat man's greedy nature has not changed. No matter which ancient tomb he went to, what he was most concerned about was the underworld in the ancient tomb, and he didn't care much about anything else.
Chen Hao looked at the time. It was already past 1 o'clock in the afternoon. He was about to get up to urge everyone to go on the road when he heard a noise from the sleeping bag next door. Someone came out.
"Okay, you fat man, you also want to go missing with Ahao and the others? Why are your mind full of underworld weapons? I ask you, this place is so big, how much can you bring out by yourself? Moreover, we don't have much food anymore. Do you think you can walk out of this swamp alone and return to the Devil City?"
But it was Wu Xie who said it. It seemed that he had been awake for a while.
Chen Hao also got out of the tent, greeted everyone, and said, "It's getting late, let's hurry up and eat something and set off early!"
After hearing his words, everyone nodded, quickly took out the dry food and water he carried with him and started eating.
Ten minutes later, everyone packed their equipment and continued to head towards the depths of the swamp. After walking for more than an hour, a huge stone sculpture suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was a human-faced stone sculpture, more than ten meters high, particularly huge, expressionless, and covered with various plants such as moss and vines.
Everyone walked over and saw that it was a huge human-faced bird statue. The remaining bird body was buried in the mud below, with only one head exposed.
Moreover, under the stone sculpture with human face and bird body, a whirlpool was formed, and the water flowed all the way into the whirlpool. Obviously, there was a huge gap under the stone sculpture, and I don’t know where the water eventually flowed.
"Where does this water flow? Is it hollow under this ancient city?" the fat man said in confusion.
Heixiao grinned and said, "Yes, you're right. The underground drainage system of the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West is crisscrossing and huge. I guess all the water will eventually be drained into a huge reservoir at the deepest part of the ground. I have observed that the pools we encountered along the way were the wells they used to fetch water, and there were drainage channels underneath."
Pan Zi was concerned about Wu Laosan's safety. Seeing that everyone was studying this, he quickly urged: "Come on, let's not waste time studying these useless things, it's important to find the third master as soon as possible."
After saying that, he walked forward on his own. Everyone shook their heads helplessly when they saw this, and had to follow.
