Chaozi and Zhuoxiong paddled the wooden raft, heading towards the exit that they had failed to pass through several times. When they reached a distance of one meter, subconsciously, they accelerated again.
The raft passed through as smoothly and efficiently as it had in peacetime, and the three people on board let out cheers and shouts.
"Damn it, its finally over," Chaozi exclaimed, waving his fist. "Brother Wenbin said that if we had done it from the start, we would have burned those two coffins and wouldnt have gone to so much trouble."
"Fortunately, we stumbled into the dead end and lured those two little ghosts out. If you had attacked directly, it would have been impossible to burn them away. The Kappa are water-based, so even if you burned down the entire mountain, they would still be safe in the water as long as their spirits didnt appear. Only when they left their coffins and lost the protection of their spirits could they be burned. Those two little guys earlier must have gone to grab the weight, which is made of pure iron. Coincidentally, theres a huge magnetite at the bottom of the river, so it was attracted to it and didnt have time to return to its coffin before we got our hands on it."
After passing through a calm stretch of water, the riverbanks on both sides gradually began to widen, and as they moved forward, a thin layer of mist appeared on the surface of the water, shrouding it in a hazy veil, forcing them to slow down their pace once again.
As for the outside moon-watching, after going down the ancient well, this group of people rushed in eagerly...
The first to rush past the turning point was a big Han, holding an MP5 submachine gun. Before others could pass by, the sound of "da da da" gunfire had already risen like a stormy rain, and disappeared after a moment.
This was a group of professionally trained Japanese people, with high discipline and tactical literacy. Mochizuki shouted out loud, but there was no response from the front. He knew something might have happened, and just as he was about to go check, the man who had gone in first came stumbling back, his face blackened, and before he could even reach him, he fell to the ground with a thud, foaming at the mouth, and convulsing in his legs.
Another man rushed over to check and tore open his clothes. His entire body had already started to turn black, just one look and he knew the man was beyond saving.
Just as he was about to get up and report to Mutsuki, something bit his hand, and with a forceful flick, it turned out to be a white insect, which was still hanging from his finger at this moment.
That bug bit down hard, no matter how it was pulled and pulled, it just wouldnt let go. Tachibana Chitose was about to go over and help when the man also fell to the ground with a "thud". When she looked closely, his entire arm had turned pitch black.
Before waiting for the next move, the insect on the ground bent down and shot straight at Chitose. The knife flashed, "whoosh" sound, the insect became two segments, fell to the ground.
Before long, both of them stopped breathing, leaving behind two completely black corpses.
Chiyoda used the rosary in his hand to stir the corpse of the insect and said, "Master, these two people should have been bitten to death by this kind of insect. It seems to be highly toxic, so lets be careful."
Look at the situation, this trip into the mountains, after waiting for so many years, and still havent entered yet, two people have already been defeated. These are all top-notch experts he handpicked from his family, can it be that theyre just going to give up like this?
But then I thought, all of our own people were bitten to death by those worms. What about that Taoist priest, Zhang Wenbin? Did they make it through? If they can make it through, why cant we?!
"Everyone be careful, Mr. Zhuo," said Wang Yue with a forced smile, "you Chinese have too many strange things that we Japanese dont understand. You go in first and take a look at whats going on." He then had one of his men hand him a flashlight.
Zhuo Yuguang didnt dare to go, these two sturdy men were staring at him and would be bitten to death one after another. Wang Yue was going to send himself to step on a landmine, no matter how stupid he was, he still understood this principle. Just as he was about to speak up, a row of black MP5 gun muzzles had already been aimed at him...
Going is death, not going is also death. Zhuo Lao Hans face was as ugly as it could be at this moment. He thought about kneeling down to Wang Yue, but when he saw the scar on his face turn red, he knew that if he dared to retreat now, he would definitely be killed instantly. This underground place was built by his ancestors, so he might as well go in and consider it a sacrifice to them.
With a sorrowful face, Old Zhuo walked past the corner, and the searchlight shone over. At the previous location of the water pool, a vast expanse of corpse worms were writhing against each other, their numbers uncountable. They were tearing at each other, fighting to the death. It turned out that these corpse worms had lost their leader and were now holding an internal election to see who was the strongest, presumably to determine the next king.
Those two people just died from being bitten by this kind of insect, he saw it very clearly, now there are so many, which scared Old Zhuo to death. Having lived in Qifeng Mountain for so many years, he had only heard that there were snakes on the mountain, but had never seen such insects before, and turned around to run back with a thud.
Seeing Wang Yues fierce gaze, he stuttered and said: "Mr. Wang Yue, there are bugs ahead, countless bugs."
"About how many?"
"Countless, a vast expanse of white, estimated to be at least tens of thousands."
Wang Yue listened, took a deep breath of cool air, and this insect had already taken the lives of two of his subordinates. Tens of thousands, thats all he got. His sharp eyes stared at Zhuo Yu-gui, looking at him with a frightened expression, it was indeed not like he was lying. He turned around and asked Qian Dai: "Qian Dai, did you see the Taoist priest jump into the old well?"
Qian Dai knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said: "Master, its absolutely true. They went down the well a long time ago, and only then did the earth shake."
"Moon Gazing narrowed his eyes, thought for half a day, and said fiercely: "Unless those people also died here, otherwise they can pass, we can also pass. The Moon Gazing family has been waiting too long for this mission. Since we have already arrived here, no matter what, we cannot retreat. Even if its death, its for the Emperor, for the Empire! For the honor of the Moon Gazing family, will we be scared away by a few Chinese insects? If it spreads back to the Empire, where would the face of the Moon Gazing family go?"
The remaining few people all knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "We are willing to be loyal to the Empire!"
Mochizuki put the long, wrapped object from his hand into his backpack and took over a wooden box from a large mans back. He carefully opened it, revealing a tachi about one meter in length inside. When Mochizuki drew out this tachi, both Momoiro sisters Ghost Maru and Nenju Maru couldnt help but tremble.
Momo asked: "Master, is this Taokou Tongzi cut?"
Wang Yue, with a loud laugh: "Not bad, this is indeed the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi, after Minamoto no Yoshitsune used this sword to behead the Shuten-dōji in Mt. ōe, it has been kept by the Empire all along. This sword is the fusion of martial arts and demonic path, capable of slaying all evil spirits. Id like to see if Chinas insects can withstand its sharpness! Lets set off!"
"Yes!"
When they saw the dense corpses, their hearts were also greatly shocked. From time to time, one or two would climb up and be killed by the peach well sisters in front. Wang Yues eyes were very sharp, and at a glance, she saw the five copper coffins exposed on the ground.
Before, Grandfather had instructed us not to touch these bronze coffins. Now it seems that the place is in disarray, and I suppose that Daoist has broken through the grand formation and is secretly gloating over his own scheme.
Wang Yue said: "Use fire attack, all insects are afraid of fire."
Several men in black, immediately took out a handful of iron balls from their hands, these are incendiary bombs! The actions of this group were indeed armed to the teeth, and the power of this type of grenade-like incendiary bomb was truly astonishing.
The first incendiary bomb landed in the middle of the water pool, and with a loud "boom", an area of about ten square meters around it instantly turned into a sea of flames. The insects within the explosion range didnt even have time to react before they were burned to ashes. The surrounding insects scurried away from the intense heat, swarming in all directions.
The second one, followed by the third, and when the last incendiary bomb was thrown out, the entire pond area turned into a sea of fire. All that could be heard were the "pa-la-pa-la" sounds of exploding insects and the evil laughter of Wang Yues "hahaha". Occasionally, a few insects that escaped to their side were either shot by MP5 or slashed by Taika.
After a long time, the flames slowly went out, and those few bronze coffins were also burned to a deep red. The originally cold underground was now filled with scorching heat, and the scene was in complete disarray. Everywhere were charred corpses of dead silkworms, filling the entire cave with a foul stench. Looking around, there wasnt a single living insect left. Even the rocks here had been burned to a deep red. The silkworms here could be said to have been completely exterminated by Wang Yue.
