I ignored Xiang Hao and the others, but turned around and looked around.
In front of me, apart from the underground black river that was still flowing, there was only a narrow and slender river bank that led to nowhere.
On the top is a natural cave with many stalactites hanging down.
It is extremely humid and water is dripping from the tips of the stones.
Xiang Hao and others stood up, took off their clothes and wrung them dry, then pointed ahead and said, "Just walk along the river bank and you will be able to reach the surroundings of the ancient tomb."
"How can you be so sure?"
I asked.
"This ancient tomb is a huge city.
There is a moat around the city, called the Mo River.
The whole body is as black as ink.
The water is turbid and sticky, just like ink, and it is highly toxic.
The black soil of Mo Dou Mountain is The water diluted the ink in the Mo River, and then it became flowing water, flowed out of the ground, and was then covered by the soil.
It is absorbed by the earth.
This is actually a cycle.
The water of this black river is the Mo River, and it will flow back to the Mo River at the end.
But this time, we have to cross the river and flow back, so the cycle stops.
"Xiang Hao.
Put on the wrung-out clothes, take off your shoes, pour out the water from the shoes, and then put them on again.
Then he put on his wet shoes and walked forward, leading the way.
Several people looked dark, but they looked like they must be the real living dead, because most people simply couldn't bear the impact and toxicity of the black water.
Then I walked a few steps forward, and suddenly there was a splash, and a fish jumped out of the water, which stunned Xiang Hao, others, and me.
I asked Xiang Hao dumbfounded: "Isn't this water toxic?
If Mojia Village can't grow food and raise livestock, why are there fish in this underground river?"
Xiang Hao shrugged and said, "I didn't know that maybe this fish has adapted to the toxicity here and survived strongly."
I can understand this, just like the Feng Shui monster fish in Shangwu Village, they have survived for so many years despite the shortage of food.
So there are many things in nature that cannot be explained clearly.
"Isn't it better to have fish here?
We don't have to eat it, but if you are hungry, you can also catch a few fish to fill your stomach."
Xiang Haowei asked with a smile.
"I'm very curious.
There are things underground that are not found on the ground.
Since there are fish, will there be other beasts?"
I said seriously.
Xiang Hao and the others looked at each other, then smiled slightly and said, "Don't think too much, just go all the way forward, reach the location of the ancient tomb, and get the treasure."
As for these people, I don't know their true or false status now, so I stopped talking and continued to follow them forward.
Fish jumped out of the river from time to time, but the moment the fish opened its mouth, Xiang Hao's expression changed.
The moment he opened his mouth, everyone saw the densely packed, needle-like teeth.
Xiang Hao purred and said, "This fish looks like a piranha."
I sneered and said, "Aren't you the living dead?
Why are you afraid of piranhas?"
Xiang Hao frowned slightly and said angrily: "As long as you fall into the river, it doesn't care whether you are alive or dead, living human flesh or dead corpse flesh, it will swarm you up and eat you until only a skeleton is left."
I believe this.
I have seen piranhas in the Amazon on TV.
Someone used a fish to make bait.
As soon as he threw it, the water immediately turned into boiling water.

Hundreds of piranhas swarmed up.
He immediately pulled the fishing rod and came out.
Only the fish heads and bones were left.
Judging from the current situation, there are quite a few piranhas in this darkness.
I am wondering, what do these piranhas feed on to survive for so long?
Xiang Hao and others were also afraid of death, so they walked close to the cave wall and stayed far away from the river.
Only then did I remember that I said: "Your other four partners" As soon as he said this, Xiang Hao and the others were suddenly startled.
They turned to look at me dumbfounded, and then looked blankly at the dark river.
They all had straight faces and looked extremely ugly.
Some people's lips even started to tremble, and he said: "Brother Mouse, we have walked so far, but we haven't found Lao San and the others coming ashore.
I'm afraid they have already"
"Stop it, don't say it!"
Xiang Hao turned around and yelled at him.
"Brother Mouse, we died once and managed to survive.
If we die again, we will be completely dead."
Someone next to him added.
"Shut up, shut up for the hell, you bunch of cowards."
The rat cursed loudly: "Originally, wealth is gained through danger.
We have all died once because of this.
Are we going to waste all our efforts?"
The other four people were also stunned.
Xiang Hao struck while the iron was hot and said, "Besides, we still have Xiaofan here.
He is very capable, so everyone will be fine."
I went away, but this bastard was too shameless and dragged me out to support them.
I didn't promise to help them.
But if my life is really in danger, I will definitely not stand idly by.
This bastard has really seen through me.
Xiang Hao and others looked at me, but I didn't say anything.
I just looked ahead and said, "Let's go quickly.
Be careful."
"Okay."
Xiang Hao took the lead and continued walking forward.
I closed my eyes and sensed the surroundings.
The river was dark and I couldn't see anything in the river, but the surroundings in the cave were very clear.
But after walking a few dozen meters ahead, we encountered the first problem.
One section of the river bank, about ten meters long, was flooded.
Although the water across the river bank was not very deep because this bank was relatively low, about twenty centimeters, it was enough for the piranhas to swim freely.
Everyone stood in front of the submerged section of the river bank.
Xiang Hao and others were all dumbfounded.
Although it was only a shallow 20 centimeters, if his two feet were eaten by fish, the person would be completely disabled.
Xiang Hao swallowed and said, "Xiaofan, what should I do now?"
"Go back."
I looked at them calmly.
"Go back, are you kidding me?"
Xiang Hao was about to get angry, but realized that he was talking to me, not his men, so he immediately suppressed his anger and said, "We just came down not long ago, and we have paid so much. , how could it be possible to go back?”

I frowned slightly and looked at them and said, "I don't know how much effort you have put in, but let me ask you, even if you get the treasure, will you be able to get it with your life?"
"This" the others hesitated for a moment.
"You have to go in with your life, and you have to come out with your life.
I thought that after you became the living dead, you could really deal with all the mechanisms and poisonous gases underground, but I didn't expect that you couldn't even pass the first level, this piranha.
If you can't pass it, let alone the hidden weapons behind you."
I said unceremoniously.
"Yes, Brother Mouse, I think what Xiaofan said makes sense." said a person next to him.
"It's your mother."
Xiang Hao was furious, and then suddenly pushed his hands towards the man's chest.
The man was pushed suddenly and lost his balance.
His body flew towards the river, and he made a sound from his mouth. .
As he flew backwards, I instinctively reached out to hold him, but I held my hand, and then he fell into the water.
I was stunned by the sudden movement, and quickly performed the Great Wind Song.
I immediately adjusted my posture, suspended above the water out of thin air, and then pulled him out of the water with a strong pull.
Just as I was rescuing people, Xiang Hao shouted: "Let's go."
I was startled, but I saw Xiang Hao and the four of them rushing over quickly, and in the blink of an eye they crossed the bank of more than ten meters of water.
When I came to my senses, I found that only half of the person I rescued had been pulled out by me.
He stared at me with blood-red eyes.
The part below his belly was still in the water, but it could be seen that the water was already boiling and filled with black-red blood.
Piranhas jumped out of the water from time to time and jumped to him. biting his flesh.
He was probably too frightened, or maybe it was because of the living dead, that he didn't shout.
He turned to look at Xiang Hao, who had reached the other side, and then yelled: "Xiang Hao, fuck me."
He looked up at me and said, "Thank you."
Then he stretched out his left hand and spread my fingers bit by bit, which meant that he was hopeless.
I insisted on pulling him out, but he shook his head, with tears of blood in his eyes, and said with a sad smile: "No need, the bottom part has been eaten up by the fish."
Until I let go of his hand, his upper body slowly sank into the water.
The water boiled instantly and blood filled the sky.
Then after a while, a blood-red skeleton slowly emerged from the water:
