?

  Under the feet of passerby A, Lao Liu's pistol was placed. Apparently, just now Lao Liu first fired two shots, then he was attacked by something, and the gun fell to the ground, and then he disappeared?

  Passerby A looked at me and let out a low, ambiguous laugh. He then said, "Wu Xie, I just realized that you're quite amusing. You're like a joke." I knew he was being sarcastic. His sharp tongue had taught me many lessons before, and his ruthless tactics were something I'd witnessed firsthand. I didn't argue back, only saying, "He's your subordinate."

  Passerby A slightly hooked his mouth and smiled: "It's not now."

  I let out a wry smile, what else can I say now?

  At this time, my face suddenly felt a bit itchy, as if there was water dripping on it. Then I saw Xiaohua and the other two staring at my face with all their might. A bad premonition rose in my heart, and at the same time, the tip of my nose smelled a familiar scent.

  I wiped my hand across my face and immediately looked down, it was blood.

  Suddenly, as if it were raining heavily, a large amount of fresh blood poured onto my body. The feeling of being bathed in blood is indescribable, and I don't even want to describe it. All I felt was that my whole body was hot with the heat of the blood, sticky and smelly, with a smell like pig intestines, making me feel nauseous to death.

  I was stunned, my body stiff and unable to move. At this moment, something flashed before my eyes, a dark mass fell from in front of me to the ground. I stiffly lowered my head to look, it seemed to be internal organs, a dark red mass, shattered.

  Right after that, I lifted my head and saw blood, flowing down my hair in strands, like rainwater flowing down the eaves of a house. My eyes felt hot, as someone else's blood flowed into them. At this moment, I saw a pair of black eyes peeking at us from within the thick hair. Suddenly, with a "thud", a skull fell off.

  The skull was no longer recognizable, covered in blood, as if it had been flayed, but even though its appearance was unclear, we knew whose head it was, and the pair of eyeballs hidden in the hair were still staring at us.

  I stared blankly at it, and it also looked at me, as if it would fall from my hair the next moment. Then, the eyeball seemed to retreat, shrinking into the depths of my hair, and could no longer be seen.

  And my body was covered in blood, staring at the skull on the ground, I couldn't bear it anymore and started vomiting violently. With one mouthful, my mouth was full of the taste of blood, as if I wasn't vomiting, but the blood was drilling into my mouth.

  I vomited, and my whole body was chilled to the bone. I took off my jacket and threw it on the ground. The jacket had lost its original appearance, covered in blood. Then, I took off another one, wiped the blood from my head with it, and threw it on the ground as well.

  At this time, I had very few clothes on my body. In a place like Kunlun Mountain, it was extremely cold. During this process, the three of us didn't say a word to each other, only heavy breathing echoed. After I finished all that, I pointed the rifle at the hanging corpse above. I don't know what's inside, but something that can easily kill Old Six must not be something one person can handle.

  Next, Xiaohua and Passerby A also aimed their weapons upwards. The three of us stood back to back, forming a triangle, our guns and eyes fixed tightly on the sky above.

  Just then, the fire dragon on the wall suddenly jumped up, and my heart seemed to be grasped by a pair of big hands. In an instant, the fire dragon went out again.

  It's coming!

  At the moment when the fire dragon went dark, I saw that the hair on top of my head suddenly parted, and the hanging corpse above shook slightly. Then, the skull slowly rose, a dry face facing me, with empty eye sockets.

  In the dim darkness, under the hanged corpse's neck, something else poked out. I couldn't see it clearly, only that thing's eyes were black and shiny. I only saw a pair of eyeballs before a huge black shadow rushed towards me. Perhaps it was human instinct, in this brief moment, I fired two shots at the rushing black shadow. Then, I felt something dry grasping my neck, followed by a surge of great force, and instantly, I was pulled up from the ground.

  My throat was in severe pain, as if all the flowing blood had been blocked in my head for an instant. With this tremendous force, I was pulled into a mass of hair. The hairs swept across my face, and because my throat was being grasped, my mouth and nostrils were wide open, with hairs constantly drilling into my mouth and nostrils. Immediately afterwards, I collided with many hard objects, probably those hanging dumplings.

  Next, I heard the sound of chaotic gunfire by my ear, a sharp pain in my leg, and it seemed like bullets were grazing past my flesh.

  Damn it, I'm going against the bullet this year.

  In the darkness, I couldn't see what was grabbing me, but as soon as I thought of Lao Liu's skull, my whole body tensed up, and I was so scared that I couldn't think of anything else, just wanting to break free from this thing. It moved too fast, in just an instant, I felt something like tentacles wrapping around my feet, tying me up tightly, and in another instant, it had tied me up to my waist.

  I'm already starting to suffocate, the tip of my nose is filled with the smell of blood and the unique stench of zongzi, and there's also a strange pungent smell. I'm waving my hands around in distress, the gun in my hand has long been dropped due to this struggle. Now my situation is exactly like Lao Liu's - first fire two shots, then drop the gun, and finally lose my head.

  But my head hadn't fallen off yet, so I resisted with all my might, not caring that the thing was still pinching my neck. Summoning up the remaining strength, I struck upwards with all my might, and this punch landed squarely in a fluffy mass of something. The hair was somewhat hard, like pig bristles, but more densely packed - what was it?

  At this moment, a voice came from passerby A below: "Stop hesitating and hit!"

  "Wait, Wu Xie is still inside..." Xiaohua's words were cut off by a burst of intense gunfire, followed by a sharp cry in my ear, as if someone had been hit. At this point, Roadman A was probably no longer concerned about my life or death, and started firing indiscriminately, which happened to be a lucky coincidence.

  Right after that, I was flung violently and crashed into something very hard. The tentacles wrapped around me suddenly loosened their grip, and even the thing stuck in my neck came loose.

  The gunfire continued, mixed with shrill screams and curses from Passerby A. After a while, the gunfire stopped, and then I heard Xiaohua's voice: "Wu Xie! Wu Xie——!"

  My throat still hurts badly, and everything in front of me is pitch black. I hoarsely replied: "Yes!"

  "Is there anything else up there?"

  "What——?" I didn't understand what he meant and asked in a low voice.

  "Is there anything else you'd like to attack?"

  I stood in the darkness, surrounded by silence, and then I said: "It's over."

  "Come down quickly..." Xiaohua's words were cut off, and passerby A suddenly said: "What's up there?" I cursed inwardly, this guy is not good-hearted, at a critical moment like this he still wants to take advantage of me. I moved my foot slightly, and kicked it, the thing under my foot was very hard, but as soon as I kicked, my whole body shook, the ground under my feet seemed to be moving, and at the same time, I seemed to have heard the sound of iron chains...

  There was no light source on me, so I had to grope with my hands. I quickly lay down and didn't dare move. After a while, the swaying stopped. I shouted: "No fire, can't see." While shouting, I continued to feel around, then touched something cold. As soon as I felt it, I was scared and let go. It was a pair of human feet.

  If I hadn't misjudged, it should be the feet of a hanged corpse. They were hung upside down, so their feet should be on top. I withdrew my hand and went to feel elsewhere, only to touch another pair of icy cold feet again.

  Damn it, all frozen meat.

  I withdrew my hand and estimated that I was about ten or more meters above the ground. If I jumped down directly, I would probably not die but break a leg. Although I was already lame, it's better than being crippled.

  The corpse and hair completely covered the fiery glow of the dragon below, and all I saw in front of me was blackness, a darkness so thick that I couldn't see my hand in front of my face.

  Just then, Xiaohua shouted from below: "Wuyie, jump down, there's a dead body with fur padding underneath, you won't die." As soon as I heard this, I gritted my teeth and prepared to jump down. Just at that moment, a cracking sound suddenly rang out beside my ear.

  It was as if something had snapped.

  What's going on?

  My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but lean in to listen. Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet plummeted downward, and I tumbled down with it. In less than two seconds, a deafening roar filled my ears, as if a large truck had crashed from the highway bridge onto the road below. Then, I bounced back up, my chest throbbing in agony, before everything went black and I passed out.

  I don't know how long I was unconscious, maybe just for a moment. When I came to, Miss Jie was pinching my philtrum fiercely. My head was still numb, and the gunshot wound on my shoulder had bled. My neck hurt, my feet hurt, my chest hurt, and there wasn't a single comfortable spot on my body. Looking around, I was still in this huge tomb chamber, but in front of me, there was an additional giant bronze coffin.

  What's going on?

  Where did this thing come from?

  I looked at Xiaohua, he pointed to the sky, I followed his gaze and saw that above us a coffin-shaped gap had appeared, where originally hung corpses were now gone, all fallen to the ground, pressed by the huge coffin, some with hands exposed, some with heads exposed, under the coffin there was also a pile of bloodstains.

  Passerby A said calmly: "It's that thing we met on the way up, but its head is bigger and it's flattened." It's the Pom-Pom brothers again, could it be a female? Is it looking at me or what?

  I let out a wry smile and almost imperceptibly stood up, only to discover that the bronze coffin was still wrapped in iron chains. The chains were already rusty and corroded, with clear signs of decay at the broken ends. It was unclear how many years this thing had been hanging there, but the chains had corroded so much that I estimated they would fall off after the commotion caused by me and Mao Ball brothers. I looked up to see half a length of chain dangling down, about six or seven meters from the ground. If people stacked themselves like a human pyramid, they should be able to climb up; moreover, with the agility of Passerby A and Little Flower, they probably wouldn't even need to stack themselves to get up there.

  Why is this bronze coffin hung up there? Is it... that the master of the tomb is lying inside?
