Bai Wanwan felt relieved. She stepped on the hard soil at the bottom of the pit for leverage, and reached up with her other hand. Sure enough, she touched a slightly lower protrusion.

The two stone ridges are staggered in height, making them just the right size for climbing.

She stepped on the stone edge below and pushed herself up, half of her body sticking out of the pit. She turned around and shouted to Lexi and the others:

"Right here, this must be the secret ladder left by the workers. It was hidden under the moss and was not discovered.

It may look inconspicuous, but it is very solid.”

Soon, a group of people crawled out in a mess. Pacifier couldn't help but growl, and Milk Tea laughed and said, "Why are you guys in such a mess?"

Bai Wanwan glared at it and said, "What's so funny? Luckily we brought some clothes. Let's find some water to change into first."

Naitang took Bai Wanwan and followed the mouse. The road out of the mausoleum was not easy to walk on.

First you have to go through the tomb where you were before. There are a lot of broken stones scattered on the ground, so be careful not to slip.

After walking out of the tomb, there is a narrow passage in front of you. The walls on both sides of the passage feel damp, and occasionally small stones fall from above.

After walking for about a meal's time, the mouse in front stopped and turned into a shorter hole next to it.

After passing through the cave, the road became wider, but there was a stronger smell of earth in the air, and the ground under my feet changed from stone to soft soil.

After walking for a while, they heard the sound of flowing water coming from the front. The mouse quickened its pace and ran forward. Bai Wanwan and Naitang hurried to catch up and soon saw the corner in front.

No one could have imagined that there was such a large body of water hidden under the mausoleum, and the surface of the water was as calm as a piece of dark cloth.

As soon as Bai Wanwan saw the water, she quickly took off her coat and walked quickly to the water's edge to wash. Her feet just touched the wet mud on the shore.

Then she heard the pacifier suddenly roar towards the lake, the voice was so sharp and urgent that she frightened her whole body and almost fell to the ground.

She looked into the lake in the direction that Naitang was staring, and saw a few fish slowly floating up from the water. These fish looked strange and scary.

Its body is about as long as an arm, and its skin is dark gray and slippery as if it has no scales.

The most frightening thing is their mouths. When they open, you can see a circle of fine fangs. Their eyes are also glowing with a faint green light. When they move in the water, the green light flickers, which looks particularly creepy.

Bai Wanwan just remembered that she had heard someone say before that there was a kind of fish called "Chi Gu" in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", which was a bit similar to the fish in front of her.

They specifically stay in dark water, and no matter whether it is a living thing or a dead thing, as long as it gets close to the water, it may be targeted by them.

"Retreat quickly... retreat quickly..." Bai Wanwan picked up her bag and ran back.

As soon as she finished speaking, the fish jumped out of the water and rushed towards them.

These fish are extremely ugly, with gray scales covered with sticky stuff. The scariest thing is the teeth in their mouths, which are so sharp and dense that it hurts to look at them.

Lexi shrank back in fear, her hands shaking, her voice trembling: "Miss, what kind of strange fish is this? It's too scary!"

Bai Wanwan quickly raised her gun and fired several shots, shooting down two fish that were rushing towards her, while hurriedly explaining:

"These are fish that have been entangled by the Chi Gu! They could have been ordinary fish that ate rotten things.

But once the Chi Gu gets into your body, everything changes.

And be careful not to get bitten by them!

These fish have small insects called Chi Gu in their mouths and on their teeth. If your skin is broken by your bite, those small insects will drill into your body through the wound.

The insects will then burrow into the person's body, causing pain and itching, and will slowly wear the person down. They are extremely difficult to deal with!"

Before Bai Wanwan finished her words, she heard a loud "splash" on the water surface. A black shadow suddenly jumped out of the water and slammed heavily on the stone slabs on the shore, shaking the pebbles so much that they jumped.

This thing looks like a fish, but it is scarier than a crocodile. Its head alone is as big as a basin, and the fangs in its mouth are long and yellow.

The strangest thing is that it does not have the fins of ordinary fish. Its belly is full of short and thick claws. The tips of the claws are black, and they make a "crunching" sound when grabbing the stone slabs.

Lexi was so frightened that her legs went limp. She whispered, "What the hell is this? It's much more ferocious than a crocodile!"

Bai Wanwan stared at the slippery black skin of the thing and said:

"This looks like the ancestor of the Deinosuchus mentioned in the book, called Sarcosuchus, which I heard is extinct.

It's ten times more ferocious than today's crocodiles, and its mouth can swallow an adult. It used to wait in the water to catch fish to eat! How could it be hiding in the water of this ancient tomb?

The Deinosuchus suddenly swung its tail, and it hit the stone pillar next to it with a "snap" sound, causing the stone pillar to peel off a layer of skin.

It rolled its cloudy eyes, staring at the two of them, and made a "huffling" sound in its throat, as if it was going to pounce on them and tear them into pieces in the next second.

The pacifier roared, and the Deinosuchus looked at them with cold eyes.

In a blink of an eye, they surrounded several people, their cloudy eyes were full of murderous intent. As soon as they got close, the stench made people's stomachs churn.

Bai Wanwan raised her hand and fired three shots at the head of the nearest Deinosuchus. The "bang bang bang" sound of gunfire echoed in the tomb.

But the bullet hit the black and hard skin of the Deinosuchus, only splashing a few sparks, without even leaving a white mark.

Her heart sank, and the guards beside her quickly raised their guns and fired, but the result was the same. The bullets could not penetrate the thick skin at all, but instead completely enraged the Deinosuchus.

The Deinosuchus in the front swung its tail violently, knocking a guard directly against the stone wall with a dull sound.

Seeing that the Deinosuchus was about to pounce, another guard suddenly drew the long knife on his back. He leaped up to meet the Deinosuchus's charge and slashed the knife hard at the soft spot where the Deinosuchus's neck and torso were connected.

With a "swish", the long knife actually cut into the flesh of the Deinosuchus, and blood gushed out instantly.

The Emperor Crocodile felt pain and let out an ear-shaking roar, shaking its head to try to throw the guard off. The guard held the hilt of the knife tightly and stabbed deeper. Blood flowed down the blade and covered his hands.

Seeing their companion injured, the other Deinosuchus became even crazier and pounced on the guards with their mouths open.

The rest of the people quickly gathered around to provide cover, and only then were they able to subdue all the Deinosuchus.

Bai Wanwan squatted down and gently scratched the skin of the crocodile with the tip of the knife, leaving only a shallow mark:

"Peel this skin off and treat it well. It's very useful! After tanning, it can be made into a bulletproof vest that is impervious to ordinary bullets.

It can also be cut into small pieces and used as the outer layer of a gear bag, so it won’t be afraid of scratches or bumps in the future.”

She glanced at the relatively soft skin of the Sarcosuchus's abdomen and added:

"The skin on the abdomen is not that tough, so it can be made into arm guards and knee guards. With this protection, you can avoid a lot of injuries.

This leather is more durable than any other material, so we can count ourselves a lucky find."
