"How is he?"
"There's no danger to life. It's just that some toxic gas was inhaled. An intravenous drip of mannitol combined with glutathione can clear the poison."
Aning and Wuxie finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were both shocked when Ji Huaichuan suddenly fainted. Now that he was fine, they could finally put their minds at ease.
"Zaxi, you know the way, go back and bring everyone with you," said Aning.
Zhaxi looked at the ancient ship embedded in the stone wall, then looked at Aning and the others, and felt a little hesitant.
"Don't be afraid. The evil child you are talking about is just a mechanism similar to shadow puppetry, used to scare tomb robbers." Wuxie comforted him.
Only then did Zhaxi turn and leave.
Ji Huaichuan took the medicine and slowly woke up. He still felt a little weak, so he propped himself up with his arms and sat up. When he turned around, he saw Wuxie and Aning sitting on a pile of rocks in the distance chatting.
He shook his head, feeling a little dizzy. Now that he could see again, he was still a little uncomfortable. He grabbed the water bottle beside him and took a few big gulps before observing the situation around him.
…
"The boy has a nice physique, but his efficiency isn't great."
Xie Yuchen was digging a pile of earth with an iron rod. It turned out that the two men fell into a pit on the way to find Wu Sansheng, and were now trying to find a way out.
It was previously discovered that this cave was man-made, but as we explored it, we found something wrong. There were many human remains in the cave, and they were very old.
"Uncle Hua, dig quickly. I only have one box of fried rice left. If we finish it, I will be out of food." Hei Xiazi kept muttering beside him.
Xie Yuchen said nothing, but dug hard at the pile of dirt as if it were a black bear. As he dug, he found a stool leg, which gave him a glimmer of hope, and he continued digging.
Hei Xia Zi shook his head, turned around, took out a military shovel from his backpack, and went over to dig with Jie Yuchen. The first shovel he used made Jie Yuchen pause.
"You brought a shovel?"
"Yes, isn't this a must-have when going out?" Hei Xia Zi was still confused.
"Then why didn't you take it out just now?" Xie Yuchen continued to ask.
Hei Xiazi laughed guiltily and said, "No, I just forgot about it."
Xie Yuchen took a deep breath, gave him a thumbs up, turned around and kicked over Hei Xiazi's last box of fried rice.
"No, what are you doing?" Hei Xia Zi threw down the military shovel and picked up the lunch box with heartache.
"I'm sorry, my eyesight isn't as good as yours." Xie Yuchen pretended to be embarrassed.
"If this fried rice is gone, it means half of me is gone!" Hei Xia Zi said loudly, with some grievance in his tone.
"If you still want to get out of the remaining half, go and dig it out!" Xie Yuchen said unhappily.
Hei Xia Zi gritted his teeth, gave him a thumbs up, and then was slapped down by Jie Yuchen.
The two people were so busy arguing that they didn't notice a shadow with a red tail flashing in the corner.
Zhang Qiling and his companions found the way. While the fat man was taking pictures and remembering the road signs, Zhang Qiling stopped for a moment and then continued walking forward.
"Brother? Don't worry, brother!" the fat man shouted, and then teased Pan Zi: "No wonder Tian Zhen was always worried that he would get lost."
Shen Tingsi patted the fat man's shoulder and said, "Okay, hurry up and catch up."
…
Aning's men had arrived and were cleaning up the things in the ancient ship. They moved out a pile of pottery jars from the ship. Ji Huaichuan felt that they looked familiar from a distance. After taking a closer look, he found that they were the jars that Yao Qiong used to raise those little insects. He didn't know why they moved them out.
A mercenary was talking to Aning. Ji Huaichuan vaguely heard them say that Zhang Qiling had left with another group of people. Wuxie also looked surprised. Ji Huaichuan thought that it might be Fatty and the others.
The topic was quickly passed. Aning and Wuxie wanted to study the jars that were moved out of the boat. Ji Huaichuan suddenly remembered that the thing seemed to bite people!
"Don't touch those!"
In the end, they were still a step too late. Several jars were broken. They took out a skull from the broken jar. A mercenary was curious, so he picked it up and turned it around. He saw a red winged insect crawling out of the skull.
The mercenary's hand shook and he dropped the skull to the ground, shaking out a bunch of small red winged insects. Wu Xie just recognized that it was the Corpse-Eating King when the mercenary slapped one to death. The man began to twitch and died in a few seconds.
"Don't go over there, that thing is poisonous!"
Zhaxi wanted to go over to help but was stopped by Wuxie. Then the corpse-eating kings rioted and the remaining mercenaries fell one after another.
"Notify everyone, check necessary equipment, and run!" Aning shouted.
The scene in front of him had no effect on Ji Huaichuan, because those little bugs would at most chase him but not bite him.
Someone broke a few more jars in the chaos, and more corpse-eating kings flew out. While Ji Huaichuan was still in a daze, Wuxie came over and grabbed him and was about to leave.
"Ah? What are you doing?" Ji Huaichuan was confused and hadn't realized why.
"Hurry up, the Corpse-Eating King is coming soon!"
After Wuxie finished speaking, he pulled Ji Huaichuan and ran away. The rest of the people also ran away one after another, but for some reason, those corpse-eating kings seemed to have taken a fancy to Wuxie and followed them. Ji Huaichuan didn't think about himself at all.
…
Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi dug for a long time and finally dug out a hole as big as their heads.
"Okay." Xie Yuchen shone the flashlight on the other side of the cave and said.
Hei Xiazi leaned over to take a look and was a little bit unbelieving.
"Is that all?"
"Um"
Hei Xiazi gestured and said, at most it would be the size of a hole in the head, and asked, "Is it just this big?"
Xie Yuchen nodded.
"Then you know I can only go over with my head?"
"I know."
"Then what about my rib cage, gluteal muscles, and thigh muscles? These also need to pass, you know?" asked Hei Xia Zi.
"I know." Xie Yuchen bent his arms to stretch.
"What should we do then?"
"I'll shrink over there and wait for you." After Xie Yuchen said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Hei Xiazi stopped him.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're being too rude, aren't you? Then you go over there and let me dig the rest by myself. How long will it take me to dig?"
Seeing that Yuchen didn't say anything, Hei Xiazi gently put his hand on his shoulder and said softly, "Okay, okay, you stay and accompany your brother..."
"Keep your dirty hands away."
Xie Yuchen patted his shoulder.
"Come here, this shovel is for you!" Hei Xia Zi laughed like a dog.
"Thank you, I'm used to using iron rods." Xie Yuchen refused and was planning to drill through.
"Okay, Mr. Hua, you take a rest, I'll dig!" Hei Xiazi stopped Jie Yuchen and turned around to dig the pit with great difficulty.
Xie Yuchen smiled and stood behind, shining a flashlight. "Put on some more strength!"
