Chapter 38
"ah!"
"Bang! Crash!"
In the dim secret room, people and huge rocks fell one after another, hitting the water hard, making a huge noise.
The team members are all psychics with evolved bodies. Except for being a little dazed at the moment of being hit, they quickly recovered and swam towards the surface.
Lu Feng came up first and quickly turned on the terminal light. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw several people diving out of the water.
"Are you okay?"
"Is anyone hurt?"
"I think I'm bleeding."
Shi Buxi lay on the stone shore. The cloth tied on his forehead fell into the water, revealing a wound oozing blood.
Upon hearing this, the others quickly turned on the terminal lights, instantly illuminating the surroundings. Several people's clothes were soaked.
"Where did you hit?" Zong Ziyu asked.
"My head hit a rock when I fell, and I feel a little dizzy." Shi Buxi touched his forehead and sighed. This was really a disaster.
"It's not a concussion!" Zong Ziyu reached out to touch it, but was grabbed by Feng Shen. Feng Shen said, "That's not the case. How hard a rock would have to be to cause a concussion?"
Shi Buyi looked at Feng Shen leisurely, expressing his emotion: This is my head, not an iron ball.
"Cover it with a cloth first. The bleeding should stop after a while." Jian Xiaonan said.
Upon hearing this, Shi Buyi stretched out his hand, revealing his wide sleeves.
Lu Feng was not polite. He grabbed Shi Buxi's sleeve, tore off a piece of cloth from his elbow, folded it into a square, and covered his forehead with it.
"Is anyone else injured?" Feng Shen asked.
"I wiped my arm." Tian Lou replied.
"Mr. Zong, is your foot okay?" Feng Shen asked.
"Your name sounds like you're mocking me." Zong Ziyu rolled his eyes and said, "I sprained my ankle this morning and it's healed already. But you, the bump you hit on the head this morning, aren't you bleeding again?"
"Hehe, it's just a small wound. It healed long ago and there's not even a scar." Feng Shen chuckled. After that evolution, humans gained mental power, their physical fitness improved dramatically, and their recovery ability was also strong. So, a little bleeding was nothing to worry about.
Shi Buxi covered his head and listened to the conversation between the two people, feeling that they were mocking him.
"Come up quickly, don't get soaked anymore." Lu Feng said, pulling Shi Buxi out of the water and turning around to look around. He found that they were in an inner room of about 50 square meters, surrounded by stone walls and a pool in the middle. The air was filled with water vapor, and the sound of flowing groundwater could be heard faintly, which must be an underground river.
"This place is at least a hundred meters from the top of the tower. We can't climb up!" Zong Ziyu looked up at the small hole, thinking of the mummies that had just besieged the pyramid, and said, "I hope there won't be any mummies falling from up there!"
Everyone: ...
"I'm more worried about whether there are mummies in here. Doesn't the history book say that this is a place where the dead are buried?" Tian Lou looked around carefully and found that there seemed to be no exit except the river.
"How about going on an adventure?" Lu Feng was eager to try.
"Dive underwater?" Feng Shen glanced at Lu Feng and took off his shirt. He was now wet all over and felt uncomfortable, so he didn't want to suffer.
[Are you all okay? No one was hurt.]
Suddenly, the voice of producer Zuo Yue was heard in the sealed space, which scared everyone. When they looked in the direction of the voice, they found that a camera had followed them down.
"Only Xiaoxi was slightly injured. When can you come to rescue us?" Jian Xiaonan asked. She felt a little uncomfortable staying here. The discomfort came inexplicably, but it made her feel cold.
[There are too many mummies, so we can't use live ammunition, fearing the ground shaking will bury you. Our laser guns are low-level, making it difficult to clear them, and we can only barely keep them from crawling to the cave entrance. But don't worry, we're currently requesting support from the Savior Star.]
Zuo Yue said to the black screen that the camera mirror was hit, so he couldn't see the picture and could only barely hear the sound, but this was already good, at least he was alive.
Everyone: ...
"Not to mention that it will take three days for the main star to get here, even if we apply, the main star may not approve it immediately!" Feng Shen gritted his teeth. Are they planning to let them stay in this damn place?
[Don't worry, we will drop supplies at the cave entrance.]
Everyone: ...
"Food and drink are taken care of, but what about the toilet? The whole area here is less than 50 square meters." Zong Ziyu was shocked. Apart from the underground water pool of nearly 20 square meters, there was not much space left. For a moment, the thought of exposing his identity came to his mind.
[Thank you for your hard work. I will put in a temporary toilet for you.]
Everyone: ...
"I refuse." Shi Buxi listened to everyone talking back and forth and uttered these two words lightly.
"Do you have a way to get up there?" Jian Xiaonan's eyes lit up. As a girl, she really couldn't stand the so-called temporary toilet.
"Since you can throw things, can you throw a rope down? You can tie the other end there and we can climb up by ourselves." Shi Buxi suggested.
Upon hearing this, the others nodded repeatedly.
[There are too many mummies. Even if you come up, you won't be able to get out.]
"I have a plan," Shi Buyi said. He was attacked so suddenly that all his talismans were leftover from the previous attack. He hadn't drawn any talismans that could support a large-scale formation. Now that he had time to slowly work on them, he naturally wasn't afraid of those mummies anymore.
[Okay, I'll figure out how to tie the rope.]
Zuo Yue did not ask any further questions. He couldn't understand Shi Buxi's things anyway. However, Academician Liang had been excited since Shi Buxi had cast the formation just now. He said that he had detected a terrifying spiritual power, which seemed very extraordinary.
"By the way, give me some food and drinks, as well as medicine for wounds," Feng Shen said.
However, Zuo Yue remained silent.
"What do you mean? Didn't you just say you would vote for us?" Feng Shen was angry.
[That was after you were trapped for two or three days.]
"So you're planning to starve us for two or three days?" Zong Ziyu was shocked. He wondered if he still had any humanitarian spirit.
[This is also part of survival.]
Everyone: ...
Shi Buxi listened to the conversation between several people and the producer, felt a little dizzy, and sat down against the wall.
"Why don't you take off your wet clothes?" Tian Lou suggested, seeing how uncomfortable he looked.
Shi Buyi shook his head and took out the bag from his backpack and opened it. Inside, besides the sandalwood box he always carried with him, there was also a transparent bottle of dried beans.
"Do you want to draw a talisman?" Jian Xiaonan asked as he came closer.
"Well, the previous talismans have been almost used up." Shi Buyi replied.
"It seems that you don't have many yellow and red talismans left." Jian Xiaonan thought about the journey. If it weren't for Shi Bushi, they would have to go back home.
"Well, we have to save it, otherwise it will be used up before we reach District 3." Shi Buxi replied.
"What are you going to do with these beans?" Tian Lou asked curiously.
"You'll know when we get up there," Shi Buyi replied. He took out the talismans, cinnabar, and brush from the sandalwood box, lit incense, offered sacrifices, and apologized, then began to draw the talisman. Seeing Shi Buyi's actions, the others stopped disturbing him.
Outside the pyramid, producer Zuo Yue was utterly exhausted. His initial fear of the mysterious mummies had faded, but now he was no longer afraid. He simply found them annoying. He couldn't use his live artillery, and he didn't dare raise the power of his laser cannons or guns for fear of collapsing the weathered pyramid.
However, the rope could not be lowered unless the mummies on the tower were cleared away. This busy work lasted until dawn. I thought the mummies would stop attacking, but they were like crazy and kept pouring into the pyramid. No one knew what was attracting them.
"Why don't we tie a rope under the aircraft and throw it in, and then we can lift them up," suggested Professor Terrence.
Zuo Yue thought about it and thought it was a solution. Soon, after confirming with Shi Buxi and the others through the only remaining camera, the aircraft temporarily left the pyramid to tie the rope.
Without the laser gun to help clear the mummies, mummies wrapped in white cloth or dried skin soon appeared in the collapsed cave entrance. They stuck their heads out from the only light-emitting hole, scaring Tian Lou so much that he screamed and his face turned pale.
"They fell into the water, they shouldn't be able to climb out!" Jian Xiaonan swallowed hard and tugged at Shi Buxi's sleeve. The wound on his forehead had already scarred, and his face was a little pale. He didn't know if it was because of the wound or because he wore wet clothes all night.
"It's hard to say." Shi Buxi looked a little down and listless.
"You take a rest, we won't let them climb ashore." After Lu Feng finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the top of his head and saw two mummies falling straight down, and then with a "splash", they fell into the water.
Feng Shen and others immediately walked to the shore, ready to kick them down as soon as they climbed up.
“Gurgle gurgle!”
There was a sound of bubbles coming out of the water. Several people held their breath and stared at the water surface nervously. There was a loud "splash" of water, and two heads popped up on the shore.
"Fuck, this dried corpse soaked in water is even more disgusting." Zong Ziyu yelled and kicked the protruding head, kicking it in.
Lu Feng also kicked one down without saying anything, but there was disgust on his face.
"Hey, is it dark again?" Jian Xiaonan muttered, looking up with wide eyes. He saw a two-meter-wide hole filled with a pile of mummies. They scrambled to get in, some of them falling out with a crackling sound from their necks.
Everyone: ..., damn, so disgusting.
More and more mummies fell in from the hole, tumbling down. No one dared to play anymore, and they were like stepping on a mole, kicking each head that came out of the water, and they were in a panic. However, the mummies kept coming, and they were about to fill the pool and climb ashore. Several people were so angry that they cursed Zuo Yue.
It's been a whole night, why hasn't the rope been thrown down yet?
[Come on, come on, stop cursing.]
Zuo Yue came back in a flying vehicle and saw the pile of mummies crowded at the entrance of the cave. He gasped and quickly ordered people to use laser weapons to sweep them into ashes, and then threw down three ropes.
"The entrance to the cave is in the middle of the pool!" Zong Ziyu looked at the position of the rope, his eyes turning black.
"Let me try." Shi Buxi stood up with the help of the wall, holding a piece of green paper with a talisman written in ink between his index and middle fingers.
When Lu Feng and others saw him coming, they all made way for him.
Shi Buxi stepped on the Gangbu step and walked towards the shore muttering spells. Before the mummy pounced on him, he waved a green talisman, and an invisible barrier was formed in an instant. Then waves arose in the pool without wind, and the waves were like countless sailors, sweeping the mummy that was rushing towards the shore into the pool, and then rushed downstream.
Several people stared at the scene in amazement, completely unable to recover.
"Cough cough!" Shi Buyi put away the magic circle, and his slightly sore throat made him cough twice unconsciously.
The cough brought the others back to their senses. They quickly looked at Shi Buxi and saw that his cheeks were red and his eyes had lost their previous luster.
Zong Ziyu's hands were the fastest. He covered Shi Buxi's forehead and asked in surprise, "You have a fever?"
When the others heard this, they found it a little strange and reached out to touch his forehead.
Zong Ziyu's mind suddenly flashed back to the picture of the lucky doll in his cousin's room. He slapped everyone's hands away and said, "Don't touch it. Hurry up and go up."
[Finally noticed my rope. I finally cleared the surrounding mummies. Come up quickly.]
Zuo Yue was so angry that he lost his temper. Did these people take the mummy seriously?
Everyone stopped dragging and quickly went into the water, swimming towards the rope in the middle of the pool.
There were three ropes. Lu Feng, Feng Shen, and Zong Ziyu, who had strong arms, climbed up first. The rest of the group, including Shi Buyi, grabbed the rope ends and shouted into the camera. A moment later, the aircraft rose straight up, dragging them out of the water and ascending towards the cave entrance, where they soon reached it.
"It's out. Haha, there's no point in climbing anymore." Zong Ziyu lowered his head and laughed at the mummy that was still climbing up the pyramid.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?" Lu Feng was on the same rope as Shi Buxi. Hearing his breathing become heavier, he lowered his head and suddenly widened his eyes, "Shi Buxi..."
"Bang!"
The fever caused Shi Buxi to lose his grip on the rope. As soon as the rope deviated from the cave entrance, he fell along the rope and hit the tower hard. The tilted tower made it impossible for him to keep his balance. He rolled down twice and stopped after grabbing the edge of the stone.
"Cough cough!" Shi Buxi's cough became even more severe due to the dust raised in his itchy throat.
"You go first, I'll go down to save him." After Lu Feng said that, he let go of his hands and jumped down.
Feng Shen saw this and also loosened his grip, falling onto the pyramid. However, at this moment, the mummy that had just been cleaned up climbed up again.
"How about we jump down too?" Tian Lou panicked as he looked at the dense pile of mummies.
"Stop making trouble, we'll just cause more trouble if we go." Zong Ziyu said with a frown, his eyes fixed on Shi Buyi below. He saw him suddenly take out a few talismans, throw them into the sky, and then take out the bottle from his bag and pour something out.
At this time, producer Zuo Yue was also anxious. He originally wanted to just hoist the person up, but who would have thought that an accident would happen in the end.
"Don't worry, I think the kid is pretty capable." Academician Liang wasn't worried at all. Instead, his eyes sparkled with excitement. "Don't fly the aircraft too far. I need to monitor the data."
"Three people can't hold on for long." Zuo Yue resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Academician Liang and ordered the crew to transport the people to the open space.
Academician Liang gritted his teeth in anger. If he had known earlier, he would have been on the same aircraft with Professor Terrence. Fortunately, he still had a monitoring machine that was following Shi Buxi all the time.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"What's going on? What happened?" Academician Liang watched the originally bright desert on the holographic screen become dark with the sound of drums coming from nowhere, and the mummies that were madly climbing up the pyramid just now suddenly became slow in their movements, and all looked up at the sky at the same time.
Everyone followed their gaze towards the clouds and suddenly discovered that in the dark clouds, a mighty army of thousands of soldiers in armor had appeared out of nowhere. They were descending with the clouds, shouting and fighting like thunder.
【I, I am dreaming.】
【Ahhh, where did this come from?】
[I must not be awake yet, haha, definitely.]
[It's obviously very strange, but why am I not afraid? ]
[Ahhh, are they going to fight the mummies? ]
Soldiers in armor descended from the sky, shouting "Kill, kill, kill" and attacked the densely packed mummies on the ground. The mummies that had previously ignored the artillery fire and laser cannons seemed to see something that frightened them and fled in all directions.
"Spiritual power, powerful spiritual power, comparable to His Majesty, no, no, perhaps even more powerful than His Majesty, haha, haha..." Academician Liang pressed his hand against the operating table, staring intently at the screen, and let out an eerie laugh. It was disbelief and excitement.
Zuo Yue looked at Academician Liang, his throat moving slightly. Then, looking at Shi Buyi on the holographic screen, he felt a little scared for some reason.
Did he dig up a terrible person?
The sky and the ground were shrouded in clouds and mist. As the shouts and cries grew quieter, the number of moving mummies gradually decreased. When the clouds dispersed and the light reappeared, all that was left was a vast expanse of bones as far as the eye could see.
Disappeared, the huge army just now disappeared.
"Xiaoxi fainted."
The people who were staring at the bones scattered all over the ground were awakened by Feng Shen's shout. They looked over quickly and saw that Shi Buxi had lost consciousness.
Shi Buxi dealt with the mummy and An Ran fainted, but the others were not calm. Aside from Professor Terrence, who was heartbroken by the loss of the mummy, and Academician Liang, who was excited, the main planet was completely boiling.
Among them, the main star's Mental Power Research Institute and Physics Research Institute caused the most sensation. They immediately held a meeting, and on the large screen in the conference room, videos of Shi Bushi opening the formation several times were played in a continuous loop.
"I thought of something, but I don't know if it's relevant." Physics Professor Huang said hesitantly.
"You speak first." Vice Academician Li said. Their academician, Academician Liang, had already gone to Blue Star to follow Shi Buxi. Only he could preside over this meeting.
"The night before last, the observatory discovered something significant," Professor Huang said, glancing at the crowd. Seeing their puzzled expressions, he continued, "Several stars in the Milky Way have deviated from their trajectories by tens of seconds."
Professor Huang noticed everyone's expressions change slightly and continued, "I checked the time of the star's displacement, and it coincides with the time when Shi Buxi cast the 'Three Realms Obey Orders' formation."
"Are you kidding me?" One of the professors wanted to laugh, but found that he couldn't. At the same time, he felt crazy. Planetary displacement? This is crazy!
When the others heard this, they wanted to refute, but when they thought of the heavenly soldiers who appeared inexplicably last night, they were speechless. For a moment, the conference room was silent.
Blue Star
[Ahhhh, the kids were really amazing yesterday. How did they do that? I really want to know.]
[Haha, the Main Planet's Psychic Power Research Institute and various major physics agencies are going crazy. I heard they're planning to send people to Blue Planet.]
[Isn't Professor Terrence here? And Professor Liang is here too.]
[Haha, the children are so powerful. Who knows if they want to share the spoils?]
[This is amazing! Academician Liang still hasn't figured out how the kid did it?]
I doubt the children themselves know this.
Shi Buxi really didn't know how to explain, especially when facing Professor Liang, who was squatting at the door of his tent with great interest, staring at him with shining eyes.
Shi Buxi sat up and crossed his legs at the entrance of the tent, frowning and thinking. After racking his brains, he came up with a possibility. "Nature has many invisible and intangible forces. My talisman is the medium that allows me to mobilize this power."
"Then how did you make your talisman? I just heard from Tian Lou that you also used a green talisman under the pyramid. The ink is different from the red ink of the yellow talisman. It is ink-colored. Why?" Academician Liang suppressed his excitement and was careful not to scare Shi Buxi.
"The ink on blue paper is the Water Training Talisman, and the red on yellow paper is the Five Thunder Talisman. They are just different types." After Shi Buxi finished speaking, seeing that Academician Liang wanted to ask more, he quickly said, "I'm hungry."
Academician Liang opened his mouth, swallowed the words back, and received the angry looks from the others. He said angrily, "Then you take a rest. I'll go study it again."
"What are you researching? Xiaoxi, why don't you leave me two mummies or a pile of bones? I can't detect anything." Professor Terrence had just finished talking to the main star when he heard the conversation between the two. He walked towards Shi Buxi in a hurry, but was stopped by Academician Liang.
"I tell you, it's driven by spiritual power. Come on, let the kids rest and we'll study the measured data." Academician Liang pulled Professor Terrence and turned to walk towards the aircraft.
"Are you still feeling dizzy?" Jian Xiaonan sat next to Shi Buyi and handed him some water and bread.
"It's okay." Shi Buyi touched his head and felt the gauze.
"This is the herbal medicine you left behind. I applied it to you. Zuo Yue, that bastard, didn't even give us any antipyretic medicine. Fortunately, I applied cold water to your body and your fever went down." Jian Xiaonan said this with gritted teeth.
"This is a show." Shi Buxi didn't mind.
"After tonight, we will go into the city in two days and look for supplies, especially medicine." Lu Feng walked over and sat next to Shi Buxi.
"Well. How did you find this place?" Shi Bushi asked, looking at the river not far away.
The river was long, fringed with green grass, and several camels were leisurely grazing. Feng Shen, Zong Ziyu, and Tian Lou were splashing in the water, as if trying to catch fish.
"There was a small river inside the pyramid when we fell in. We figured there must be one nearby, so we roughly determined the direction and climbed over two hills, and we were there," Lu Feng said. After Shi Buxi fell unconscious, they confirmed it was a combination of cold and exhaustion, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
With their current physical conditions, they wouldn't have gotten this minor illness. So after a short rest, they sent Feng Shen and Tian Lou to search for a river. Once they found one, they brought the people here. The desert area near the river had a slightly lower temperature and was covered with small trees, making it easier for Shi Buxi to recover.
Shi Buxi nodded, took the last bite of bread, and stood up. "I want to take a shower."
"Now?" Lu Feng was surprised.
"Yeah!" Shi Buxi replied.
"That's fine, let's do it before it gets dark." Lu Feng said.
Shi Buxi responded, took out his clothes and walked towards the river. After a few steps, he found that the camera was following him, and the barrage of comments on it was still scrolling frantically, asking what the formation was this morning.
Shi Buxi thought about it, took down the camera, handed it to Lu Feng for safekeeping, and then went to the river.
[All the quarrels are so intense that all the benefits are gone.]
[Everyone, please be quiet. Xiaoxi didn't even notice we were following him. It's so annoying.]
[I'm curious, why is this kid so serious? He seems to have a cheerful personality.]
[Wow, I haven't asked him why it suddenly got dark this morning. Are those soldiers in armor a dream?]
Everyone expressed their confusion.
When Shi Buxi was about to reach the river, he happened to meet Feng Shen and others who had just caught some big fish. When the latter heard that he was going to take a bath, they took him back to the camp and asked him to demonstrate a skill of lighting fire out of thin air before letting him leave.
Shi Buxi went to the river again and chose a place with rocks to go into the water. The cool water soaked over his shoulders, making him feel so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.
Falling into water and taking a bath in water are indeed different.
Shi Buyi leaned against the stone wall with his eyes closed, feeling drowsy. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back and turned around abruptly...
“Crash!”
The sound of water was heard, and a black shadow flashed by, followed by covered eyes and a tightly pressed chest, cold and stiff.
"Shh, be good, don't make any noise."
A hoarse voice sounded in his ears, with a strange joy, but it made Shi Buxi's heart sink. Who was it?
