Chapter 521 Zongzi? Sweet or savory?
A strand of hair was found in an underwater tomb, and it could even move. Most people would immediately think it was a ghost. Fortunately, there was a stone slab in between, so even if there was one, it wouldn't be able to get through.

Unwilling to give up after failing to catch that strand of hair, Fatty Wang shone a lamp into the gap, wanting to see what was behind it.

He leaned closer to take a look and seemed to see something. After calming himself down in confusion, he leaned closer to look again. This time, he reacted strongly and suddenly retreated, swimming several meters away as if his life depended on it. He then turned to Gao Dongxu and Wu Xie and frantically shook his fists.

When everyone saw that Fatty Wang was running for his life, before they could react, the stone slab blocking their way suddenly rose up, and a black ink-like substance seeped out from the gradually widening gap underneath.

Everyone was startled and quickly took a few steps back. When they saw what had appeared, their jaws dropped, and they stared wide-eyed at the black, flowing hair in disbelief!

Everyone gasped for oxygen. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the tomb passage behind them was filled with hair, large, dark clumps of it. To be honest, even Gao Dongxu, who was already mentally prepared, felt his throat tighten when he saw this scene!

Fatty Wang suddenly blew out bubbles, as if he was cursing something, raised the harpoon gun in his hand, and fired at the center of that clump of long, flowing black hair.

However, after the spear flew six or seven meters, it suddenly slowed down and was then caught in the hair. When everyone saw this, their faces turned very ugly.

However, the spear did have some effect. The hair seemed to have a mind of its own, and it retracted and began to roll. It was as if something inside the hair was about to come out. Everyone became alert and prepared to run at any moment.

At this moment, Jiang Zisuan also raised his hand and threw a spear. Suddenly, the hair retracted and then released. In an instant, everyone saw a dead body emerge from the deepest part of the hair.

The person was wearing the same style of diving suit. Their nose and mouth were full of hair, and even their eyeballs had heads sticking out. It was clear that they had suffocated to death. Now they were swollen from being submerged in water and looked terrible.

Just as everyone felt a chill run down their spines, a figure suddenly flashed past them at an incredible speed, startling them so much that they fell over and turned around to look for the figure.

At this moment, Wu Xie stared wide-eyed in disbelief as Gao Dongxu suddenly raised the harpoon gun in his hand and shot it at him.

Just as he was in despair, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. He instinctively tried to turn his head to look, but the spear grazed his cheek and flew behind him.

Wu Xie's scalp tingled, but what made him even more desperate was that when he turned around, less than a hand's width from his face, there was a huge, pale woman's face. The skin on it had been soaking in the sea for who knows how many years, and it was all swollen and transparent. What was most terrifying was that its two demonic eyes had no whites, and the black pupils almost filled the entire eye sockets. At first glance, it looked exactly like a hideous, rotting corpse with its eyes gouged out.

She wore a white robe, and her long, jet-black hair was spread out wildly around her, swaying with the seawater.

This terrified Wu Xie to the point of almost going crazy; he seemed to want to scream, and oxygen bubbles kept popping up.

Just as Wu Xie was falling into despair, and the others were stunned by the sudden appearance of the Forbidden Woman, almost forgetting to breathe.

Gao Dongxu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. A Vajra Dagger appeared in his hand. He swam like an arrow, forcefully alternating his legs as he reached Wu Xie's side. He pulled Wu Xie back with force, then used the momentum to rush towards the grinning, ferocious Forbidden Woman. He activated the Vajra Dagger with spiritual energy and plunged it straight into the Forbidden Woman's forehead.

The crowd, who were standing there dumbfounded, were once again shocked by the scene before them. Gao Dongxu, holding a Vajra Dagger that emitted a holy yellow light, was like a peerless swordsman, thrusting it towards the white-robed, black-haired Forbidden Woman.

This scene was so breathtaking that it will be etched in everyone's memory for a lifetime.

However, just as Gao Dongxu was about to approach the Forbidden Woman, she seemed to sense the threat of death and vanished in a flash.

Just as the group was stunned, a tremendous suction force came from behind them.

Seeing the Forbidden Woman escape, Gao Dongxu nimbly flipped over, holding the Vajra Dagger, and looked behind everyone, worried that the Forbidden Woman might ambush Wu Xie and the others.

Then they discovered that a huge whirlpool had formed in the tomb passage behind them, with seawater rushing in. A huge suction force pulled Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, and the others into the tomb passage.

Gao Dongxu watched as the panicked and terrified people were sucked into the tomb passage. Without struggling, he rushed into the passage, caught up with A Ning, and pulled her into his arms. The water was swirling, and it felt like being stuffed into a washing machine. After a few jolts, he was so dizzy that he couldn't see anything clearly.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Gao Dongxu slowly regained consciousness, he felt sore all over. A Ning, who was being held tightly in his arms, had already fainted, but thankfully her breathing mouthpiece was still in her mouth.

Gao Dongxu steadied himself and began to look around. He found that it was pitch black all around him. Wang Pangzi and the others were below him and Aning, and they looked completely dizzy. Wang Pangzi, in particular, was still spinning around as if he were dancing ballet in the water.

Looking at the well wall, I saw it was made of top-quality white jade. The fact that such good materials were used here meant that we must have already reached the underground palace of this tomb. I pushed off with my feet and floated up. I felt a warmth on my head and my head rose to the surface.

It was pitch black all around. The spotlight was too focused and could only illuminate a single point. Gao Dongxu turned off the spotlight and switched to a powerful flashlight, widening the beam to its maximum. He carried the unconscious Aning ashore, placed her aside, and began to survey the surroundings.

The tomb chamber is a rectangular shape with sharp angles. Apart from the star map painted on the dome, there are not many other decorations on the eaves, making it appear simple and unadorned. No coffin bed or coffin was found, so this should be one of the side chambers. After shining a strong flashlight around, there were no other exits, only a stone door on the left leading to the passageway.

The walls of the tomb were sealed with very cheap white clay, which originally had some colorful murals, but unfortunately they have been completely corroded by moisture.

There were many burial porcelain items on the floor of the tomb, numbering about a hundred, including several very valuable blue and white porcelain jars with dragon and cloud motifs.

At the same time, some footprints were found on the floor. They were all wet feet stepping on the dust on the ground. They looked very new and were probably Wu Sansheng's handiwork.

After taking out the equipment and measuring the air quality, they then dragged Wu Xie, Fatty Wang, and the others ashore one after another.

After waking them up one by one, they first let out a series of groans and then began to vomit due to dizziness. After crawling over, Aning saw Gao Dongxu squatting to the side, holding a flashlight and looking at something on the floor. Curious, she walked over and, seeing some footprints, frowned and asked, "Did Wu Sansheng and the others leave these?"

Gao Dongxu frowned and pointed to a very conspicuous barefoot print. He said it was conspicuous because the print was very small and looked like it belonged to a child, definitely no older than three years old.

It's worth noting that neither the original novel nor the TV series explicitly explains the origin of this small footprint. However, they all use hints to suggest that there is a small zombie in the tomb, but it never actually appears on screen.

"How is this possible—" Upon seeing the small footprints, Ah Ning exclaimed in surprise. How could there be children's footprints in such a place? She immediately turned around and called out, "Fatty, come and take a look—"

It has to be said that among this group of people, Fatty Wang is the most experienced, so it's really not a bad idea for A Ning to choose him.

"What's wrong?" Fatty Wang had just recovered when he heard A Ning call him. He slowly got up, walked over, saw the small footprints on the ground, and couldn't help but swear. He said in a daze, "Holy crap, what's going on..."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Hearing Fatty Wang's complaints, Wu Xie, Baldy Zhang, and Jiang Zixia all gathered around, and they were all a little confused when they saw the small footprints.

"Wait, don't worry about whether the footprints are big or small. These footprints are abnormal. Take a closer look..." At this moment, Fatty Wang reminded them as if he had discovered something.

Upon closer inspection, the group noticed a yellowish, waxy layer on the footprints. Wu Xie scraped some off with a knife, smelled it, and exclaimed in astonishment, "This is adipocere!"

Adipocere is usually found in corpses that are immersed in water or buried in moist soil. The so-called wax is formed by the solidification of fat and minerals in the body.

Following the footprints, everyone discovered they led to a corner of the room, behind a large blue-and-white porcelain jar with dragon and cloud motifs. A chill ran down their spines.

People say that it's easy to deal with the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with his underlings. If it really is a little dumpling, then it will really take some effort.

Wu Xie then said to everyone with a wry smile, "These footprints only go back and never come back. Could it be—?"

He had only spoken halfway when Gao Dongxu suddenly waved his hand, telling him to stop talking. Gao Dongxu then shone a flashlight on a large porcelain jar. Before everyone could understand what was happening, the jar suddenly shook on its own.

"Holy crap—" Everyone was startled.

Fatty Wang said softly, "That thing is probably hiding in the back."

With a curious look, Baldy Zhang leaned close to Fatty Wang and whispered, "What is it?"

Fatty Wang, annoyed by his mouth, cursed, "Zongzi!"

Zhang Tu was taken aback. "Zongzi? Sweet or savory?"

Fatty Wang stared at Baldy Zhang with dead fish eyes until Baldy Zhang awkwardly backed away, then turned to Gao Dongxu and asked, "Young Master Gao, what do you say?"

“Look, even if it really is that thing, we have to destroy it first, otherwise it’s a menace, and it’s not comfortable to fight it down,” Gao Dongxu said.

To be honest, the most bizarre thing about the entire Wrath of the Sea is this little zombie. It clearly exists and even guided Wu Xie and the others with a jar, but it never actually appears.

Originally, Gao Dongxu wanted to use the Three Pure Bells to force it out, but considering that he would need it to lead the way later, he refrained from making a move and wanted to observe the situation.
