Chapter Fifty-two Jade Copper Stone Fish

  The crimson color gradually turned into orange, a hue that could make people shiver all over with just one glance. In fact, it wasn't the pure and genuine orange color, but rather a bloody orange.

  I only felt that the entire space was in a state of complete silence, and for the first time I felt the power of destruction.

  Magma in the tomb began to emit large bubbles, and the surrounding rocks shook violently. A big stone fell from the top of the tomb and landed right next to my feet.

  "Brother, it's going to collapse here, let's go quickly!" Ah Mei cried out anxiously.

  "Ah Mei, be careful." Just as I saw a huge boulder flying towards Ah Mei from above, I quickly pushed her away. The boulder smashed into my chest, but just as it was about to hit me, it turned into dust.

  Is this the destructive power of Orange Eyes? This is too strong! I'm shocked in my heart.

  The tomb chamber shook more and more violently, and it was likely to collapse at any time. I pulled Ah Mei, quickly passing through the lava rocks, rushing towards the exit. The lava pool behind had completely ruptured, and the giant stone on top of the tomb fell into the lava pool, splashing out a scorching rock melt, forming a fiery red river of rock melt, which changed everything in its path.

  After we crawled out of the small exit, we saw that the surging lava behind us had just blocked the entrance, and more than half of the tomb chamber had collapsed, with thick smoke billowing out.

  "It was too close, almost got stuck inside." I breathed a sigh of relief.

  "Damn it! There are still enemies outside." It turned out that there was a large group of corpse worms waiting at the exit, and these corpse worms were too determined to eat me!

  "Brother, I'll give you a gift." Little sister suddenly smiled slyly.

  As soon as she finished speaking, a faint mist emanated from Ah Mei's body, accompanied by an intense fragrance that spread among the swarms of corpse insects. The swarm of corpse insects shook and buzzed towards me, stopping in front of me with some shaking their heads and wagging their tails.

  "Brother, they will listen to you from now on." Ah Mei smiled.

  I was stunned for a moment and then understood, it should be that the fragrance of the Mengwang flower can control one's mind.

  "Left." I pointed left and the corpse worm flew off in that direction.

  "Right." The corpse worm listened and flew right as well.

  "Where is the Corpse Worm King?" I shouted at you.

  Only one corpse worm that looked similar to the other corpse worms flew out, but in fact, there were some differences. The Corpse Worm King didn't look as ugly and was considered elegant and handsome among the corpse worms.

  "From now on, come and go as you're called, listen to my orders." I gave the command in a domineering tone like a general, and saw the Corpse Worm King speed up its flapping of wings in response.

  I suddenly thought that in this tomb, no one might know the tomb better than these little bugs. They must know the structure of the entire tomb and may be able to lead me to the exit.

  "Corpse Worm King, do you know where the exit of the tomb is?"

  Only saw the corpse worm fly back a distance, shook its head, with an extremely frightened look.

  "Do you know or don't you." My pupils turned orange, staring at the Corpse Worm King with an intimidating gaze.

  The Corpse King saw that my eyes were shaking slightly, and he reluctantly nodded, but his eyes still showed concern and fear.

  "Lead the way!"

  The corpse insects lined up in a disciplined flight formation, giving the appearance of a national military parade. They flew towards the second floor of the tomb.

  My sister and I had to climb from the tree to the second floor of the tomb, then climbed along the trunk and branches to the second floor chamber.

  The entrance to the second layer of the tomb is different from others, which are short and low, while this one is narrow and high, like a slash of a great sword that cuts through the sky in a mountain valley.

  My body just barely squeezed in, if it were Mao 19, he would definitely get stuck somewhere! I thought to myself and suddenly felt amused, if Mao 19 came too, we would definitely laugh him to death.

  "Brother, what are you laughing at?" Ah Mei looked at me with a naive and innocent gaze.

  "Sister Ah, you said if Mao Zedong came back, would he be stuck." I laughed haha.

  "Brother, you're so bad!" Little sister also burst out laughing.

  The green light emitted by the corpse insect just illuminated the tomb, this tomb was empty and had nothing, and there was only one room.

  "Corpse Worm King, how can there be an exit in this place?"

  The Corpse Wraith King flew in front of me, circled twice and flew away. It flew into the Corpse Wraith cluster, seemingly communicating with them. The Corpse Wraith King flew out again, gesturing for me to look. The Corpse Wraith cluster moved, disrupting all formations, and formed a key shape in mid-air.

  "Is this a hint for me to find the key? Is there another door at the exit of the tomb that needs to be opened with a key? I thought quickly in my mind."

  So the key must be in this tomb? Then how to find the key in such a large and empty tomb, that's the problem in front of me.

  I walked around the tomb and found that except for the hard stone walls, there was nothing else. I knocked on each of the stone walls one by one, but no hollow sound came out, these stone walls were all solid, how could it be possible to hide a key? I just hoped to find a seam in the stone wall, at least a place where a key could be hidden.

  The result was disappointing, and the entire tomb chamber seemed like a single block of stone hollowed out from the middle, making it impossible to find any seams.

  Suddenly a gust of wind whistled into my ears, I listened carefully, the sound was vague and unclear, and it was impossible to determine its location.

  "Sister, did you hear the sound of the wind?" I looked at Ah Mei with a puzzled face.

  "I also heard it, but it seems like there is and yet there isn't." I thought I must have misheard.

  Even Lian Mei heard it, which means there really was a sound. I stuck to the wall and listened carefully again, and actually heard breathing sounds, with a bit of snoring, I felt very strange, could it be that there is someone inside this stone wall?

  "Is there something inside?" I turned around and asked Corpse Worm King.

  The Corpse King showed a terrified look and said something to the corpse worm group. The corpse worm group began to change formation again, this time into a mouth.

  What does it mean? This mouth and the breathing sound in the stone wall have nothing to do with each other, I couldn't think of any connection. I let out a deep sigh and slapped my hand on the stone wall, this slap got a reaction, the stone wall moved slightly, a strong gust of wind came howling, accompanied by hot air.

  "What the hell?" This hot air gale blew in my face, I reacted immediately, squatted down, almost got blown away.

  Ah Mei didn't have anything to do with it, but those corpse worms were miserable. They were blown by the hot air and scattered all over the tomb chamber, in a chaotic mess. Moreover, there were casualties among them, and some of the corpse worms seemed agitated, looking like they were very frightened. When the hot wind stopped, I let out a loud shout, and the agitated corpse worms gradually calmed down.

  "How is this like a mouthful of hot air? What the hell is this thing?" I was at a loss.

  "Brother, can you feel it? The tomb is moving." Little sister said with a frown.

  "Is there? I didn't feel anything."

  Just as I finished speaking, the tomb chamber shook violently and flipped over, just like a sieve. We were the things inside the sieve, being shaken and bumped against the east wall and west wall, with several large packages hitting our heads.

  "What the hell is this place you've brought us to? Is this some kind of earthquake experience room?" I shouted loudly.

  "Detestable humans, disturbing my peaceful dreams." The stone wall surprisingly spoke, the echo reverberating and shaking our ears painfully.

  "Brother, I know. It's the Jade Copper Stone Fish, it's everywhere in the underworld, occasionally appears in the human world, but only appears where there are treasures." Ah Mei said.

  "This thing is a fish? No wonder the corpse insect made a mouth, now that I think about it, it's quite like a fish mouth." I couldn't help but comment.

  "Don't worry, Yu Tong Shi fish are naturally gentle by nature. We must have just disturbed its sleep and it's a bit angry." Ah Mei continued to say.

  "I think it's wrong, its character is naturally gentle, how can a corpse insect be afraid of them?" This doesn't make sense no matter how you say it.

  Sister Ah Mei was speechless.

  "Little girl, are you Meng Wang Hua?" Yu Tong Shi Yu felt something was off.

  "Yes, I am." Ah Mei replied.

  "You're actually with humans, aren't you afraid of the big shots in the underworld finding out?"

  "What business is it of yours that I'm with my brother? You're just a small stone fish, don't interfere in other people's affairs." Ah Mei was getting angry.

  "Of course I have nothing to do with you, but now that you're in my mouth, can't I take care of it?" Shi Yu said sternly.

  It was in its mouth, could it be that the narrow and high tomb door was its mouth? Speaking of this makes me feel sick, I'm still tapping here and there on the stone wall.

  "How did you old fish end up here?" asked Ah Mei.

  "You can leave quickly, I won't make it difficult for you, but these little bugs must be left behind," said Shi Yu.

  "Corpse Worm King, you actually dare to come in, after all these years, you're looking for death." Stone Fish said.

  At this time, Corpse Worm King flew to my back and hid.

  "What's your grudge against the Corpse Worm King?" I asked.

  "The grudge is too deep, it's a blood feud that will never end." Shi Yu gritted his teeth.

  "Don't you think there's something different about this tomb and the others?" Shi Yu asked.

  "Are you alive and they dead?" I replied.

  "You're wrong, I'm also a dead thing. The underworld's way of speaking is that those who haven't transformed their spirit are all dead things. This little girl by your side is actually a real living being, and I haven't transformed my spirit yet." said Shi Yu.

  I looked at Ah Mei, and Ah Mei nodded, indicating that Shi Yu hadn't deceived me.

  "Why is that?"

  "I've been here for a thousand years, and by all logic, the Feng Shui of this tomb is so good that I should have ascended to spiritual realm long ago. But I waited for a whole thousand years without any change, until just a few years ago when I finally understood why. Look at that tree outside, it was already here before this tomb was built. The people who built the Song tomb thought that tree was the key to this place's Feng Shui, so they didn't cut it down and instead built the tomb around it. And I'm a spirit who was stolen from the underworld by the person who built this tomb, I don't know why he had such incredible abilities, but it seems like he was searching for divine objects all over the world and gathered them here in this tomb. You've already encountered the seven-colored lotus below, and there are even more strange objects above that you haven't seen yet. The entire tomb is a masterpiece of Feng Shui, and I'm here to guard the tree. But just ten years ago, a powerful ghost and a Taoist came here and ruined everything. The Taoist was killed by the ghost, and the ghost was sealed here too. And it's because of that ghost that the Corpse Worms appeared, they hollowed out the tree, and now I've lost my connection to it, the tree is dead, and the Feng Shui here has been destroyed, turning this into a tomb of evil spirits. You tell me, isn't this a deep grudge?" Stone Fish almost shouted.

  "Corpse Worm King, is this true?"

  The Corpse Worm King flew out from behind me and nodded slightly.

  My eyes burst into a ball of fury, instantly turning blood orange, staring at the Corpse Worm King, the Corpse Worm King's body suddenly exploded, blasting into pieces, the Corpse Worm King was killed by my gaze.

  "What now? The Corpse Worm King is dead. I hope you'll release these corpse worms." My gaze was icy as I stared at Shi Yu.
