Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Everyone looked over and discovered that it was a large insect with a bronze bell the size of a baby's fist hanging from its tail.

"Damn it, what kind of bug is this? It's so weird, I almost got killed by it!"

Fatty Wang stepped on the struggling insect's back, pinning it down so it couldn't move. He was about to remove the bell when a foot suddenly crushed it.

"That damn bug tried to harm Kratos, I'll stomp you to death, stomp you to death..."

All eyes turned to Da Kui, who was pounding on the bell like a madman.

Everyone's smart enough to guess that this guy was faking it.

Fatty Wang's eyes were filled with hostility, while Old Man Wu's face was ashen.

As if sensing the murderous intent, Da Kui seemed to awaken from a dream.

"W-what happened? These damned bugs almost killed everyone..."

Fatty Wang flew into a rage, interrupting him and grabbing his collar, pulling him over and hurling insults.

"What the hell are you talking about? If you're going to step on bugs, why do you keep stepping on the bell? Do you think Fatty and everyone else are idiots?"

"Wh...what bell? I've only been stepping on bugs."

Da Kui was completely bewildered. His acting was so convincing that he deserved an Oscar, and people immediately started to believe it.

"Hey Fatty, Da Kui was probably too frightened just now and his eyesight is blurry, he mistook the bell for an insect. We're all on the same side, let's not ruin the harmony."

Wu Xie stepped forward to explain while trying to pull Wang Pangzi's hand away, but this weakling couldn't budge it at all.

He could only ask the people around him for help, but found that everyone was staring at him like he was an idiot.

"Hey! You're quite the talker, aren't you? You even thought of things like being overly frightened."

Fatty Wang stared at him for a while, then suddenly let out a mocking sneer.

"You weren't scared, White Face, but this burly guy was so terrified he almost made me die laughing."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie felt somewhat embarrassed. This reason did indeed seem a little... well, funny!

At this moment, a strange light flashed in Wu Laosan's eyes, and then he smiled at Wang Pangzi, stepped forward and said:

"Fatty, give me some face and release Da Kui first. We can talk about it outside."

Wang Pangzi ignored him and turned to look at Ji Haobo. Seeing him nod, he snorted coldly, let go of his hand, and walked to the side.

The cave space had become higher, and Ji Haobo walked over, stomped the insect to death, and kicked it off the boat.

He then looked at Da Kui, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said something that made people laugh.

"Young man, you're tall, but you can't be timid. You need to practice more!"

He then turned and walked to the bow of the boat, where he cut the rope connecting the small boat to the bow.

Then everyone remembered that they had heard strange noises coming from the boatman's direction, and they quickly shone their flashlights in that direction.

But they found that the guy was dead, and there was a pool of blood on the boat.

"Dead...dead? This...Master Bo, did you kill him? I saw you fling your hand away at the time."

Wu Xie was somewhat agitated. The sudden and inexplicable death of a perfectly healthy person was a huge shock to this well-behaved young man.

"White powder, don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for false accusation. This old man was clearly scared to death."

Ji Haobo raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips, and shrugged, saying:

"Even Da Kui was so frightened, it's normal for an older person like him to have a heart attack or cerebral thrombosis."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

The people nearby burst into laughter upon hearing this; they didn't care whether a man who murdered for money and ate human flesh lived or died.

"Yes, yes, yes, this kind of old man has the most ailments. He's spent his whole life rowing here, so he must have a deep affection for this river. I, Fatty, will do a good deed and let him rest here in peace!"

Fatty Wang chuckled and called out to Old Hu. The two of them used their knives to cut several holes in the small boat floating beside them, and it quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

As the body and the boat sank, a sudden burst of bubbles could be heard in the water.

Everyone was shocked and quickly shone their flashlights over the area, only to find that water and blood were spreading out, and many fist-sized insects were tearing apart the boatman's corpse, devouring it completely in the blink of an eye.

"Holy crap, what is that thing? It's terrifying!"

Wang Pangzi and the others got goosebumps all over their bodies and felt a chill run down their spines.

"Corpse beetles! So many corpse beetles! We should be approaching the corpse-gathering area soon. Be on your guard, everyone. You could find all sorts of monsters and demons in that core area."

Ji Haobo took out the Magic Brand flashlight and handed it to Lao Hu. He gave some instructions to everyone, then turned and walked to the bow of the boat, looking ahead.

Old Hu took the flashlight and quickly shone it forward, only to see a faint mist drifting by, obstructing his view.

This situation took everyone by surprise. Fatty Wang shrank back and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Bo, what is a 'corpse-gathering place'? Is there anything strange about it?"

The others immediately perked up their ears out of curiosity, wanting to hear about this strange occurrence.

“Corpse caves with flowing water are not straight; there must be strange areas where a section of the river forms a loop.”

In general, the Corpse Cave is winding and twisting like a human intestine, and the looping passages resemble a stomach.

No matter what kind of corpse it is, once it falls into the water, it will become stranded here, and over the years, the number of corpses will increase.

The cave was already filled with yin energy and had a very low temperature. In addition, due to the strange terrain, the air inside did not circulate, and most of the yin energy gathered in the looping areas.

In this environment, a large number of corpses will hardly decompose. If someone brings in an aura that stirs them up, what do you think will happen?

"Hiss... A corpse rising!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock, their minds conjuring up images of corpses rising from the dead. If a bunch of zombies suddenly started dancing, it would be a chaotic mess.

Just as everyone was filled with shock, Ji Haobo exhaled a puff of smoke and said leisurely:

"It's not as exaggerated as you think. Didn't a large group of corpse beetles just appear?"

They were not only numerous, but also unusually large, so their diet must have been quite good, with plenty of meat and fish at every meal; their internal organs were probably almost completely depleted.

"call…"

The group breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts soon jumped into their throats again.

The ship passed through a chilling, gloomy fog before entering a huge mountain cave.

The specific terrain was obscured by the mist, but the eerie will-o'-the-wisps flickering everywhere sent chills down one's spine.

The most terrifying thing is that there is a mudflat in the middle of the cave, and their boats pass through the circular waterway.

You can see many corpses stranded on the mudflats, and a large number of will-o'-the-wisps flickering.

Although the corpses were not decomposed, many of them were swollen from being soaked in water, forming a giant appearance;

With so many corpse beetles scurrying around inside, it makes you want to scream "Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"Gudong..."

Seeing this scene, everyone felt as if they had entered hell, and couldn't help but swallow nervously.

Wu Xie's teeth chattered, making a "clucking" sound. It was unclear whether he was frightened or frozen by the cold air.
