Chapter 13: Fairy in Red

After the dark clouds dispersed, although wisps of dark mist were still floating in the tomb forest, they no longer covered the sky and the earth like before. The view became clearer and wider, and there was a feeling of walking in a mass grave.

The graves are all seven or eight meters high and are scattered around.

The stone tablets were ancient and heavy, and much taller than Li Weiyi who was walking below.

Some of the monuments have ghost flags in front of them, while others have Yin flags in front of them, and strange sounds are heard in the wind.

Who are buried here?

Why were they buried on a boat? Was it to take them back to their roots? Or was it a unique way of burial?

How did they die? Who built tombs and monuments for them? Where did the builders go? The bronze ships are full of mystery. There must be an ancient and tragic story. No one knows who could have forged them, how glorious they were, and why they have been silent on earth for thousands of years.

Is it now going back to where it started, or is it going to continue on its ancient journey?

Li Weiyi was full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge. He searched in the tomb forest for half an hour and finally heard the sound of wind chimes.

“Ding Ding!”

The bone wind chimes are hung on a bluestone stele more than three meters high, and the sound is clear and pleasant.

It was said to be made of bones, but in fact, it was as crystal clear as jade, and engraved with unrecognizable secret symbols.

The string that connects the bells is woven with silver threads, which have lasted for thousands of years without breaking.

There is a portrait on the bluestone stele. I don’t know what kind of paint it was painted with, but it has not faded at all and is bright and lifelike.

In the portrait, the auspicious clouds are colorful and the goddess is extremely beautiful.

She was like a fairy standing on the clouds, looking down at the world, with a bright red dress, beautiful hairpins, and a pair of eyes so vivid that it made people feel that she could walk out of the stone tablet.

"Could it be that a former stunning fairy is buried in the tomb?"

Li Weiyi's eyes fell on the bone wind chimes again, and he wanted to take it down to study it.

This should also be considered an immortal thing, right?

“Wow!”

He exerted force with his legs and jumped up.

Suddenly, a scorching air stream gushed out from the sole of his right foot, and his body became light and floaty. He broke through the wind and jumped to the top of the stone tablet which was more than three meters high.

Staggering to a standing position.

Li Weiyi held his breath and looked down, which was one floor high, and felt it was incredible.

After cultivating to a supernatural level, can I fly over eaves and walk on walls? This feeling is so wonderful that anyone would feel excited and full of vigor.

After calming down, Li Weiyi reached out to pick the wind chime. However, as soon as his hand touched the bone of the bell, he felt dizzy and a beautiful fairy in red appeared in front of him.

Her slender and stunning figure, layer upon layer, kept pressing down on me.

“Bang!”

Li Weiyi fell off the bluestone stele and felt dizzy, as if he had been sitting in a car for several hours on a bumpy mountain road.

"This thing is really weird, don't touch it!"

If it was so easy to pick, the bone wind chimes would have been taken away by other expedition members long ago. How could they have waited until now?

However, Li Weiyi is a very curious and inquisitive person, so he couldn't help but take the risk.

He practiced the Yuxu breathing method, mobilizing the hot air from the sole of his right foot to flow along the silver veins toward his head. After a moment, the dizziness disappeared and he recovered.

Li Weiyi bowed respectfully to the portrait on the bluestone tablet: "I have no intention of offending you, senior. Please do not blame me... Well, I want to retrieve the Taoist Taiji Fish and the Yellow Dragon Sword, so I am afraid I will have to offend you again. You are a celestial being, so you will not treat me like a mortal, right?"

After Li Weiyi bowed three times carefully, he climbed up the huge grave mound behind the bluestone stele.

"Brother shouldn't have buried it too deep... Found it!"

Li Weiyi groped inch by inch in the gray-white grave soil, and finally touched a hard metal block on the top of the grave. He brushed off the soil and found that it was indeed the Taoist Tai Chi Fish.

One is a green fish eye and the other is a red fish eye, both are only the size of a bean.

Just like before, it is just an ordinary antique ornament, without any special spirituality.

"This fish eye is the Buddha's relic that they all want, right? Is it really a planet in its microscopic form?"

How to activate it?

Before Li Weiyi could put the Taoist Tai Chi Fish back on his neck, the sound of wind chimes suddenly rang out on the bluestone tablet. He was struck by a sense of danger that made his hair stand on end, as if a thorn in his back was pierced by a chill.

not good……

“Chichi!”

There was no time to escape.

A lot of black hair grew out of the grave soil below and entangled his legs.

"Is he pretending to be dead? But I have already paid my respects to him just now... Isn't this senior too petty?"

The black hair grew very fast, wrapping around the legs to the waist, spreading to the hands and head.

Li Weiyi mobilized the scorching airflow from the sole of his right foot, rushing it to the thirteen silver veins throughout his body, unleashing the strongest force to tear and struggle.

It only lasted for a breath.

With a bang, he was pulled to the ground by the black hair and sank to the bottom of the grave.

Finished!

What is going on?

Senior Sister Cai and the others dug graves and built land, and did even more extreme things, but they didn't cause such a disaster. He just came to retrieve what belonged to him, so how could he cause such a terrifying evil thing?

Could it be that I really accidentally met a stingy person?

…

"Brother Meng, Lao Liu and his men have been exhausted in the past seven days repairing the generator. You have to talk to Captain Gao and arrange two good meals for them. We have to celebrate today, right?"

Chen Hong followed behind Zhao Meng and asked for credit for the members of the engineering and technical team.

"Of course, they are the first to do this."

Zhao Meng stepped into the cabin where the freezer was located, and his face changed instantly.

I saw that Lao Liu and several other members of the engineering and technical team had all fallen to the ground, unconscious. Only Xie Jin was standing there with his hands behind his back.

The cabin was messy and dimly lit, but Xie Jin's cold and smiling eyes could still be clearly seen.

“Bang!”

A 1.8-meter-tall, sturdy member of the security team was lying in ambush on the left side of the door. He swung a steel pipe and smashed it hard on the door frame of the cabin. If Zhao Meng had reacted a little slower, his head would have been smashed.

"There's an ambush, leave quickly."

Zhao Meng reminded Chen Hong and immediately left the freezer compartment, and was about to raise his gun to fire back.

Another security team member who was lying in ambush outside jumped out, grabbed Zhao Meng's upper torso and arms from behind, and let out a low growl, trying to throw Zhao Meng against the bulkhead.

Zhao Meng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has served in the army for many years, so his reaction is very quick.

Before being thrown up, he pushed his legs against the cabin wall and exerted force suddenly, and both of them fell heavily to the ground along with the security team members behind them.

After escaping from the trap, Zhao Meng quickly turned over and punched down like a hammer.

“Bang!”

The fist landed on the face, knocking unconscious the security team member who had just hugged him, and blood flowed out of the man's mouth.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The security team members holding steel pipes rushed out and swung them hard again.

Zhao Meng didn't have time to look for his gun, so he rolled forward and kicked him in the crotch. With a scream, the steel pipe fell to the ground with a clang, and the security team member knelt down with trembling legs.

While Zhao Meng picked up the steel pipe, he elbowed him in the temple, knocking him sideways to the ground.

He instantly dealt with two ambushes.

Before Zhao Meng could stand up completely, the third person who was hiding rushed out and used an electric shock gun to hit him in the vest.

“Chichi!”

Zhao Meng was trembling all over, his muscles were numb and he could hardly move.

Right in front of him, Xie Jin rushed over quickly, jumped off the ground, and used his own weight to knee Zhao Meng in the chest.

This is a flying knee strike! If it hits, Zhao Meng's ribs will be broken and his heart will be shattered.

In this desperate situation, Zhao Meng broke free from the stun gun behind him and rolled out sideways. Even though his whole body was sore and weak at this moment, with a strong will to survive, he bit his tongue, forced himself to throw the steel pipe in his hand.

With a "bang", the steel pipe hit the hand of the third ambusher and the stun gun fell to the ground.

Zhao Meng picked up the rifle on the ground, loaded the bullet into the rifle, and aimed it at Xie Jin who had just landed. His face was cold and murderous in his eyes.

“Bang!”

“Crack…”

In the shadows behind him, Chen Hong held a steel bar in his hand, with his hands wrapped in black cloth, and used all his strength to smash Zhao Meng's right arm near the shoulder.

There was the sound of bones breaking.

Even Zhao Meng's strong body, as mighty as an iron tower, could not withstand the pain. He roared and screamed in pain, his body shrunk, and his rifle fell to the ground with a thud.

He tried hard not to fall down, turned around slowly, his lips trembling, and looked at Chen Hong with disbelief.

No one knows Zhao Meng's power better than Chen Hong, so he must not show mercy.

It must be both fast and ruthless.

At this moment, there was no longer any sunny and cheerful smile on Chen Hong's face, only seriousness and coldness. He swung the steel bar in his hand again and hit Zhao Meng's knees that were supporting his body.

“Bang!”

The kneecaps popped and the legs broke backwards.

Zhao Meng could no longer stand up and was nearly fainted from the pain. Chen Hong threw the steel bar to the ground, picked up the rifle, and checked the number of bullets inside before he felt completely relieved.

Looking at Zhao Meng's pale face, as well as his angry, confused, and unwilling eyes, Chen Hong felt very unhappy and rebuked, "I know what you want to say. Isn't it all your fault?"

"Have I ever suggested to you that you lead your brothers to kill Gao Xin, and then become the captain of the research vessel, or even the captain of the entire bronze ship? At that time, everyone on the ship will have to listen to us and do whatever we tell them to do. If we tell them to kneel, they won't dare to stand."

"Those useless old, weak, sick and disabled people should all be killed as soon as possible, it's a waste of food."

"As long as we control the materials and their distribution, we can do whatever we want and survive to the end. But..."

"You are too old-fashioned! You don't have any heroic spirit or ambition, and you are still bound by the old rules and regulations. Since you don't take the initiative, I have to do it. I don't want to die."

Xie Jin looked at the rifle in Chen Hong's hand with fear and said with a smile: "Well done, if you take care of Zhao Meng, the rest of the people on the ship won't be a problem. Give me the gun, and I'll ask my cousin for the first prize."

"It's better for you to keep this gun with me for the time being."

Chen Hong was not stupid, so there was no way he would hand over the gun. He was on guard against Xie Jin while unbuttoning Zhao Meng's coat.

After unbuttoning the outer garment, a purple leather soft armor was revealed. On the chest was a bloody five-finger handprint pattern, and on the palm there were some strange scriptures, like the symbol of a mysterious organization.

When my fingers touched the soft nail, I felt a cool sensation.

"This should be the corpse clothing and leather armor he took off from those skeletons. The leather armor has not decayed for thousands of years. It must be a treasure. No wonder he was able to break free from the electric shock gun."

Chen Hong was very happy. He took off the leather armor from Zhao Meng and put it on himself.

The leather armor seemed to be able to grow bigger or smaller. Although he was not as big as Zhao Meng, it fit him well after he put it on.

Xie Jin knew that there was no way to deal with Chen Hong at the moment, so he could only suppress his anger and said in a gentle voice: "Search quickly, is there any Buddha relic on him?"

After Chen Hong searched around, a look of disappointment appeared on his face: "I'm afraid the Buddha's relic is still in the possession of his junior fellow apprentice."

Zhao Meng, who had already accepted his fate, heard this and his eyes immediately became furious. He roared, "Chen Hong, if you dare to hurt my junior brother, I will make sure you die without a complete corpse."

Chen Hong looked at him with pity: "If you can stand up, I will believe it. Brother Meng, you taught me to be bold and daring, to dare to fight and to not be an incompetent and angry person. How could you forget it yourself?"

Xie Jin walked over, stepped on Zhao Meng's chest, twisted his foot with all his strength, leaned over and sneered: "You are so excited, it seems that the Buddha's relic must be with him, right?"

Zhao Meng didn't know where he got the strength from, but he tried to support his body with his uninjured hand.

But how can we fight against Xie Jin? Chen Hong said: "Forget it, why bother to fight with a useless person? We haven't fully grasped the situation yet, let's not waste time here."

Xie Jin stared at Chen Hong who walked out with a gun, squatted down, and searched Zhao Meng again.

Naturally, nothing was gained.

"Tie them all up and take them to the deck. By the way, have you seen Cai Yutong?" Xie Jin did not have as big ambitions as Xie Tianshu. In his eyes, capturing Cai Yutong was more important than anything else, not even for the Buddha's relics.

A member of the security team said: "She seemed to have gone to the planting area with those graduate students and did not eat the breakfast containing drugs."
