Wu Sansheng hurriedly took out several hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li chuckled and said, "Look at you, comrade, that's not what I meant."

He said he didn't mean it that way, but he still honestly put the money away.

"Actually, there is a river here. There is a passage across the river, and the other side of the passage is right across the mountain."

Wu Sansheng nodded, "Then please take us there, old man."

In fact, Wu Sansheng had already guessed that there must be another road here.

However, since they were unfamiliar with the area and had no one to guide them, it was very difficult for them to find their way.

Uncle Li nodded, "Alright, I'll say it again, I'm not helping you to make money off you, I just think you young people are pretty good."

He only listened to what Uncle Li said casually.

None of the people present were fools.

But as long as he can really help them get through this mountain, what does it matter if it costs a little money?

The group followed Uncle Li to a river not far from the Guazi Temple.

As soon as we arrived, a dog suddenly darted out.

Uncle Li patted the dog's head.

"Donkey Egg, is your owner home?" the mongrel barked twice.

Uncle Li smiled and looked at Wu Tianjiao, Wu Sansheng and the others, "Gentlemen, you are really lucky. You just happened to catch the owner of this little thing. He can take you there in a little while."

"Brother Tian, ​​Brother Xiao, do you think there's something wrong with this dog?" Wu Sansheng frowned the whole time as he followed Uncle Li to find the boatman he mentioned.

"That dog grew up eating corpses."

Zhang Qiling spoke concisely and in a cool, clear voice.

"Third Master, tell Wu Xie and the others to be careful in a bit," Wu Tianjiao said.

Wu Sansheng nodded, and then went to give instructions to Wu Xie and the others.

Before long, led by Uncle Li and the stray dog...

Wu Tianjiao, Zhang Qiling, Wu Sansheng, and others arrived at a simple dock made of wood.

From a distance, a sickly-looking, pale-skinned middle-aged man was sitting in a chair, legs crossed, picking his ear.

Hey Shao was startled by this person's appearance.

From a distance, this person doesn't look like a human at all; he looks more like a ghost.

At this moment, Wu Sansheng also narrowed his eyes warily.

He could sense that the sickly pale man exuded an aura of death.

"Hey bro, can you not worry so much? Where would a ghost come from in broad daylight?"

Wu Xie was somewhat annoyed to see Hai Shao hiding behind him in fear.

Then he looked around the river.

"Uncle, I see this river is quite big, how come there's only one boat and one boatman? Where are the others?" Uncle Li smiled and said as he led Wu Tianjiao and the others toward the boatman.

"Young man, you don't know this, but that river ahead is quite eerie. Apart from the old man you saw in your group, no one else dares to go in."

"Even if they went in, none of them came out alive."

"The villagers all say that a snake spirit lives in the river."

"The snake spirit won't give face to anyone, but Old Bai is the only exception. So if you want to get in through the river, you have to rely on Old Bai."

"See, I told you so. That boatman was definitely not a normal person. Otherwise, why would the snake demon eat others instead of him?"

Hai Shao suddenly became excited.

“Nonsense, there’s no such thing as a snake spirit, shut up!” Wu Sansheng said.

However, he also found the boatman very strange.

The dog he kept was covered in the aura of death, and he himself was also shrouded in the aura of death.

The dog's stench of death is somewhat understandable, given it grew up eating corpses. But was this boatman also raised on corpses?

Wu Sansheng is now basically certain that the cave in the riverbed is actually a corpse pit...

Chapter 180: The Corpse Beetle Attack

"Brother Wu, I feel like this is all very strange, but I can't quite put my finger on why." Wu Xie pulled Wu Tianjiao aside and said.

At this time, Wu Sansheng had already gone to negotiate with the boatmen.

Wu Tianjiao nodded. It was strange, that was normal. "See that cave ahead? That's not just an ordinary cave; it's a cave of corpses."

Every corpse cave must have been a massacre, that's for sure. In a corpse cave like that, the living and the dead must be mixed together.

"The big black dog we saw earlier grew up eating corpses, and this boatman is the same."

Wu Xie was startled by Wu Tianjiao's words.

The boatman had already stood up from his chair and gave Wu Sansheng a disdainful look.

"Another bunch of reckless fools." Then they went to row the boat.

Uncle Li quickly explained, "Please don't misunderstand, bosses. Old Bai lives here year-round and doesn't interact with people often, so he's not very good at talking. But don't worry, I can assure you that as long as he's here, you will be safe and sound."

Wu Sansheng nodded without saying anything.

Before boarding the ship, I repeatedly reminded everyone to be careful and to keep an eye on the equipment they brought.

Wu Tianjiao is right, Li Bo and the boatman are definitely suspicious.

The group split into two boats and headed towards the water cave.

Wu Xie and Hai Shao were a little nervous about their first time going into a tomb.

Actually, I was mainly scared by that old white guy.

So weird.

He had even smiled at Hai Shao before, which startled Hai Shao so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

That pale face, with its yellowed teeth, made him look exactly like a water ghost when he smiled.

"Once you're inside the cave, don't look into the water out of curiosity, or even a god can't save you," the boatman said, sitting at the stern and rowing the boat.

Wu Xie was so curious that he couldn't help but ask, "Why? Could it be that there really is a snake spirit in this water?" The boatman didn't answer and continued rowing.

But then he muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Just one look at you would drive you crazy."

As the two small boats continued to move forward, the view changed from light to darkness, and the river gradually became narrower and narrower, revealing many coffins of various sizes.

Stranger sounds came from all around.

It was that chilling, murderous voice.

It looked like something was climbing up from the water; it was incredibly eerie.

"Listen everyone, what's that sound?"

Zhang Qiling, who was sitting at the bow of the boat, suddenly gestured for everyone to be quiet.

"Could it be a ghost?"

Startled, Hai Shao instinctively shrank behind Wu Xie.

Wu Xie, who wasn't particularly afraid at first, became somewhat frightened after what he did.

"Shut up!" Wu Sansheng snapped.

"What the hell? What kind of ghost is this? Do you even know what your behavior is called? This is called disrupting morale, and on the battlefield, you'll be dragged out and shot."

After being reprimanded by Wu Sansheng, Hai Shao no longer dared to say that he was afraid.

However, he was becoming increasingly afraid.

Because the cold, menacing voices around us were getting louder and louder.

It really felt like something was swimming this way.

Even the usually arrogant young man couldn't help but become more vigilant at this moment.

"Third Master, Master Wu, Uncle Li and the boatmen are all gone." Pan Zi suddenly turned around and found that the boat behind him was empty, and even the boatman who was in charge of steering at the stern was gone.

In fact, Pan Zi had been keeping an eye on them the whole time.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was on edge at that moment. Of course, Wu Tianjiao was an exception.

"Quick, look! Did he fall into the water?" Wu Sansheng said hastily.

Then everyone took flashlights and looked into the water.

In fact, everyone knows that this possibility is extremely slim.

Because if it really fell into the water, it would definitely make a splash.
