Chapter 71 Which way to go?

After a long time, there was a "Crack" sound. Xiangzhu lit a lighter and lit the candle in front. He seemed to be holding a red thread on his left hand, with a chicken head tied to it. He muttered a few words in a low voice before moving forward.

I continued to crawl over. When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed a human body, curled up on the ground with its head in front and behind its feet. I thought that it must have escaped from the sarcophagus, but it turned out that he did not escape and died in the tunnel.

He's dead and blocking our way.

After several "kack" sounds, the pile of white bones in front suddenly turned over and lay on the ground. It looked like the skeleton that almost killed Xue Lin. Two black holes stared at us, and I couldn't help but feel

Creepy!

But I touched my chest to encourage myself: "Don't be afraid, there are cannon fodder ahead!" [

The auspicious pig stopped again, and I put my head against the stone wall. I saw a nervous expression on his side face, as if he was facing an enemy. He held the red string in front of the chicken head in his left hand and shook it back and forth in his hand.

According to Xiangzhu, the biting skeleton is a bone spirit. This thing relies on human flesh to restore its body. It has opened its mouth at this moment, and it looks like it is about to pounce on Xiangzhu. Xiangzhu shook his left hand,

Throw the chicken head out, impartially, just right

Enter the bone spirit's mouth. As soon as the bone spirit has food in its mouth, it immediately bites it and chews it a few times. Suddenly, a puff of green smoke rises from the teeth, and a strange squeaking sound is heard. At the same time, the white bones scattered all over the body.

, shattered into millions of pieces, and even the skull was scattered into bone residue.

Xiangzhu began to crawl forward again, taking back the chicken head and the red string into his pocket as he crawled. When he crawled over these broken bones, he passed without hesitation. But I was very worried in my heart, in case something like this happens again.

What if I knock off the skull and restore it to its original shape?

The tunnel gradually sloped upward, becoming steeper and steeper, and finally became a vertical shape. Holes for stepping on were cut into the stone walls, and we climbed up using our hands and feet. Even though the fat man was bloated, he could climb up much more efficiently than me.

After a long time, I was thrown down more than ten meters.

Gradually, the candlelight in Xiangzhu's hand became smaller and smaller. He didn't mean to wait for me at all, and kept climbing up quickly. I was so tired that I didn't pay much attention to physical exercise. Now I know how poor my physical condition is.

So I rested for a while and looked up again. The candlelight above was almost invisible.

I thought to myself that there were no forks in this tunnel anyway, and I wasn’t afraid of losing it, so I took a break before continuing to climb up. After climbing up for about half an hour, I caught up with Xiangzhu again. He was staring at a hole in the stone wall on the left.

I was in a daze, and this tunnel was still extending upwards, with no end in sight.

The hole on the left was dug irregularly, and it looked like it was also an escape passage hastily dug by this group of people. It's just puzzling that this fork was dug here. Which one is the real way to survive? No wonder the fat man is here.

I thought he was waiting for me, but it turned out that he didn't know which way to go.

"This group of people should be migrant workers who built the underground palace under the lake. They had long known that they would be silenced after the underground palace was completed, so they left themselves a way out. It's just puzzling how a fork in the road appeared here. Which one is it?
