Ancient tomb excavation traces

I was startled. Although I couldn't run anymore, my mind still subconsciously controlled my body to move forward. Now I seemed to understand why Bao Cai and Qiu Yue had run into the thorn bushes despite the pain. If I had encountered such an evil creature, I would have panicked and run in as well.

Human bombs rained down from the sky, and we dodged and weaved in panic like people in a rain of corpses. Luckily, we managed to dodge one, but with so many monstrous infants, our chances of being hit were high. Bao Cai was immediately knocked over by one of them. He screamed in fright and reached out to pull the infant off him, but the infant didn't give him a chance to resist. It opened its mouth and bit straight at his face.

A chill ran through me, and I thought Bao Cai was probably doomed this time. Just then, I saw a figure running over with a torch. With a powerful swing, the strange infant, which was particularly sensitive to fire, screamed and leaned back to avoid Qiu Yue's attack. Taking advantage of this, Qiu Yue kicked the strange infant hard, and it flew away.

I breathed a sigh of relief, then heard the rain of strange infants falling from above. Just as I was about to turn around to avoid it, I suddenly saw a small infant standing behind me. It opened its mouth, and the dark inside reflected light. It hissed menacingly at me. Caught off guard, I was stunned and didn't know how to react. At the same time, the infant falling from the tree landed squarely on my back. I lurched and fell backward in panic, my face coming directly into the mouth of the infant blocking my way.

I gritted my teeth, my palms already drenched in cold sweat. What to do? What to do? The question kept repeating in my mind. At that moment, the monstrous infant stopped screaming. I heard the sound of flesh being torn apart. I looked up in horror and saw the infant's mouth in front of me expanding continuously, like the gaping maw of a giant python about to devour a person. I watched this scene with tears welling up in my eyes. The monstrous infant's mouth could have swallowed my head whole.

I absolutely cannot let it succeed. I gripped the scythe tightly in my hand, wanting to take advantage of the moment when it expands its mouth to deliver a fatal blow. But now I am attacked from both sides. The one behind me is slowly crawling up to my neck. I don't know what situation it is in now. If both of them want to swallow me at the same time, then I can take advantage of the moment when they open their mouths to suddenly turn around. But now I'm afraid that the one behind me just wants to bite me a few times. In that case, I definitely won't be able to dodge in time.

Sweat dripped from my forehead, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. I tried to calm myself down and focused on the movement behind me.

Just when things were at a high level of tension, I suddenly heard a calm and experienced voice urgently shout at me, "I'll handle the back, you take care of the front!"

No sooner had I finished speaking than I heard a crisp "snap" behind me, and a head was sliced ​​off, bouncing away like a ball. I didn't react for a moment, and forgot the instructions from the person behind me. In that instant of distraction, the monstrous baby's mouth lunged straight at me, and I immediately shrank back in fright.

The person behind me clicked their tongue in silence. A knife grazed past my ear and shot directly into the monster's mouth. Sticky liquid splattered from its mouth and landed on my face. The strange smell and disgusting touch left me stunned. I blankly wiped away the indescribable warmth with my sleeve.

Just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly heard a shrill scream. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the monstrous infant whose mouth had been pierced by a knife reach out its claws and attack my face a second time. I never expected it to have such strong vitality. Just as I was about to die, the person behind me swept over my head with a torch and stuck it directly into the monstrous infant's huge mouth. The monstrous infant went berserk at the sight of the fire, fell backward, and frantically clawed at its mouth. The flames burned mercilessly inside its mouth, which slowly turned black and emitted a burnt smell.

I breathed a sigh of relief and propped myself up with my hands. Suddenly, I felt a burning sensation on the top of my head. Ba Jian shouted at me from not far away, "Young Master, your head is on fire!"

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately tried to pat the fire with my hand. Luckily, I reacted in time, and only a small part of my coiled hair was burned off. When I looked back at the expressionless culprit, it was none other than Master Ku.

He walked past me, stepping on the face of the struggling infant, and pulled out his own dagger. He then coldly said to me, "You've been through so much, how come you have no sense of danger at all? I told you to take care of what's in front of you, and all you did was stand there dumbfounded. If the situation had been any more critical, I wouldn't have had time to save you!"

After I calmed down a bit, I stood up. Although I was grateful to him for saving my life, I wouldn't admit it. I even complained a few times because my head was a little burnt.

However, Master Ku didn't pay much attention to me. He watched as strange infants kept falling down from above and muttered, "How could this be? I clearly destroyed the bell. Logically speaking, the formation should have been broken..."

Just then, a sinister little face suddenly emerged from the tangled tree roots. It crept stealthily towards the Master, whose attention was completely focused on the strange infants falling from above, paying no attention to those below. Unexpectedly, many strange infants fell from above, landing in the crevices of the tree roots. The Master was standing in a particularly deep depression in the roots, and I watched as one strange infant after another emerged, reaching for the Master's feet. I quickly shouted a warning to the Master: "Watch out!"

Master Ku was more perceptive than I was. He quickly looked down, and those damned monster babies had already clung to his legs in groups of three or five. Logically speaking, as a martial artist, he should have a way to break free from such restraints, but for some reason, I noticed that he tried to free his legs twice but couldn't.

Seeing this, he swung his knife to cut off the strange infant's head. Just then, a strange infant suddenly fell from the branch above him. It aimed at the knight and bit his wrist, which was holding the knife. The knight cried out in pain, and the knife fell to the ground.

The scene resembled a tiger being attacked by a pack of wolves, unable to break free for a moment. As the strange infants at his feet opened their mouths one by one, I dodged the strange infants attacking me, raised my battle scythe, and swung it at the infants at Kushi's feet.

The scythe pierced the head of a monstrous infant, but embarrassingly, the infant didn't fall. It turned its head venomously, its chaotic eyes staring at me, its teeth bared like those of a mangled grave. My heart tightened; I tried to pull the scythe out, but whether it was the infant's strength or the energy being drained from my body, it gripped the scythe's handle, its head slowly emerging from the blade. The scene was too grotesque; I swallowed hard. Just as I was completely stunned, Master Ku flung the infant from his grasp and slapped the skull of the infant clinging to his leg. The evil creatures screamed and shrunk into the tree roots.

Because of the excessive force, his bitten wrist gushed out a spurt of black blood. He gritted his teeth and said to me, "If it's going to kill you, don't be afraid of it, hurry up and finish it off!"

Ku Shi's words carried a certain authority. Upon hearing this, I hurriedly stood up and kicked the strange baby in the face. The strange baby did not expect my sudden reversal. It grabbed my battle scythe and flew a certain distance. Seeing that it had not gotten up yet, I immediately rushed over and kicked it repeatedly in the wound where the battle scythe had pierced it. With each kick, its head was smashed like a watermelon, and strange juice flowed all over the ground.

I watched it twitching on the ground, and with lingering fear, I pulled the scythe from its hand. That kick had kicked away all the fear in my heart, and I felt quite relieved. However, my strength was waning, and my limbs were becoming weaker and weaker. As I was about to turn around, Master Ku had already carefully retreated to my side, and the little Taoist, Bajian, and Baocai were not far from us.

I saw the terror in their expressions, and a chill ran down my spine. I hurriedly turned around to look, and a huge group of white, monstrous infants crawled up from the ground, like giant white worms, approaching us... (To be continued.)

I like tomb raiding.
