Chapter 8: Wu Xiaoshuai's Ancestral Treasure

  My heart was pounding, my breathing became heavy, looking at that zongzi, I almost didn't dare to move! Just then, the black-haired zongzi moved, a pair of black eyes looked at us and then pounced on Wu Xiaoshu who was sitting paralyzed on the ground!

  Just as Wu Xiaoshou was about to be caught, Song Ah struck with his knife and at this moment Wu Xiaoshou suddenly got up and ran out in a fright. Song Ah scolded him and then beckoned us to run quickly.

  Heaven does not disappoint those who are diligent, after running wildly for a while, we finally saw a section of stairs! Although this section of stairs appears to be so unusual and strange in this ancient tomb, I no longer have the mind to ponder whether it is dangerous or where it leads.

  In front of us are dumplings, behind us is a group of snakes, this earthen staircase at this moment has become our only hope!

  But the stairs seemed to be very old and not very sturdy, and as we rushed up, the mud kept collapsing, and after tens of seconds, we finally climbed to the top of the stairs. Before I could even feel happy, my heart suddenly turned cold again, and Wu Xiaoshuai was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, anxiously saying "This is bad, this is bad!"

  The stairs to here have no road, and accurately, it should be said that they collapsed! Even if the soil is cleared now, time is not enough, let alone we are not professional tomb robbers, not to mention the skills of stealing caves.

  Seeing the black-haired rice dumplings and black worms chasing after them, Song Ah suddenly kicked Wu Ma You's foot and said in a hurry: "Wu Xiao Shou, where is your treasure? Quickly take it out, don't die here!"

  Wu Xiaoshou's face changed instantly, and he rummaged through his pockets with a look of panic. Before long, he pulled out the treasure he had been talking about all along! His terrified eyes were replaced by joyful ones in an instant, as if he had seen his beloved. He kissed the treasure with a "smack" and then proudly exclaimed, "This is indeed Grandpa Wu's heirloom!"

  Just as he finished speaking, the black-haired zombie had already arrived at the bottom of the stairs. Although those insects were biting it, it didn't react at all and continued to climb up step by step. Seeing that it was about to climb up, Wu Xiaoshuai didn't waste any time either. He raised the sign in his hand and shouted loudly: "One seal on the hand, ghosts and gods will avoid it! Get out of here, you dead black-haired thing!"

  As I listened to Wu Xiaoshuai's words, I looked at the black dog and saw that it had stopped moving, its eyes fixed on us with a sinister glare.

  Look at that black fur, it really didn't move. Wu Xiaoshou suddenly let out a breath of relief and said with great satisfaction: "How's that? Aren't you even more worshipful of Grandpa Wu now?"

  I still looked at the black-haired corn with unease, its eyes were empty and godless, like from the depths of hell, as if I could feel it emitting a chill. What made my heart skip a beat was that although its eyes had clearly rotted and turned black, I could strongly sense it staring at me, and I stared back at it with equal intensity. Just then, the black hair moved again, changing from crawling to jumping, and was about to jump right in front of me. Frightened, I swung my torch at its face and shouted: "Get down quickly!"

  Luckily, there was no foothold in mid-air, and the black fur was accurately smashed to the back. With a "poof" sound, that face suddenly caught fire, and those insects attached to the black fur scattered instantly. Almost within a few seconds, the entire body of the black fur ball was surrounded by flames, like a human torch, and it fell to the ground in disarray. And we didn't stay for another moment, running away as fast as we could. At this time, saying anything was useless, escaping with our lives was the priority!

  In the chaos, we ran to the end and found a door half open in front of us. I carefully went inside and lit the lighter, unexpectedly seeing a socket on one side, praying as I touched it: "It must light up, it must light up..."

  With a "whoosh" sound, I didn't expect it to actually ignite! Although the flames weren't burning very vigorously, the tomb chamber suddenly lit up. I took a look around and found that there was no danger, so I decided to go close the door, but unexpectedly Su Dai and Song A had already closed the door and even moved some things to block it tightly.

  This tomb is much larger than the one we were in before, about two living rooms in size. Inside the tomb, apart from some decorations, the most striking thing was a large pool of water in the middle! I saw something inside and immediately ran over, my heart racing with shock, to find that there were four corpses floating in the pool! The stench was overwhelming, making me feel nauseous.

  Wu Xiaoshou also came to the edge of the pool, looked at the floating corpse on the water and said in confusion: "How is there a pool inside this tomb? Were they swimming?"

  "You'll be swimming in your grave!" Song cursed at him, then said: "It looks like these people have been dead for some time."

  "Right, judging from their state of decay, it should be about a month." Wu Xiaoshou also chimed in.

  A month? Isn't it the people from Dad's side? The timing matches, and since Songzi has been here before, I'm sure Dad's people must have come here too! As for the four corpses floating on the water, none of them are Dad's, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  "Huh, it seems like there's something over there!" Wu Xiaoshou pointed at a corpse, his eyes shining as if he had spotted treasure. I followed the direction of his finger and indeed saw something unusual - this corpse was not floating on the water like the others, but seemed to be fixed in place by something.

  "What is it?" Song Ah searched for a wooden board inside the tomb, and after expending great effort, he couldn't push the corpse open, but beside the corpse, a black and yellow object was exposed, and it was unclear whether it was gold or something else.

  "I'll go take a look!" At this time, Wu Xiaoshou volunteered to swim over and take a look. We wouldn't object, of course. So we watched as he jumped into the water with shining eyes, despite there being four dead bodies floating in it and a foul smell. But Wu Xiaoshou didn't seem to care at all, apparently his mind was preoccupied with that black and yellow thing!

  Before long, Wu Xiaoshou had swum to the side of the corpse. At this time, he didn't see him being afraid, but instead roughly pushed the corpse to one side. And that place actually had a circular platform! Wu Xiaoshou seemed to have found something and carefully placed it on his shoulder, fixing it in place with his head before swimming towards us.

  That black and yellow thing is a box, Wu Xiao Shou held it in his arms, excitedly telling us: "I can tell you ahead of time, this treasure belongs to me, I'll only let you take a look at it, just one glance!"
