"These things are probably man-eating fungi. Everyone should be careful. As long as you don't pass by them, nothing will happen."
Zhang Qihai spoke to everyone as he took the lead and continued speaking.
"Everyone hurry up and follow. Remember, do not move around out of curiosity, and do not lose your composure. Be careful and do not step on these man-eating mushrooms.
These man-eating fungi use the body temperature of people to target their targets, so everyone must not step on them, otherwise there is only one way to go, and that is death.”
With him leading the way, Erye and his men followed immediately, and the soldiers walked behind, following them carefully.
While walking, Qi Tiezui suddenly asked.
"I've heard of this thing. What they fear most is a raging fire. Why don't we just set a fire to burn them? This way, we don't have to drive forward carefully. If someone accidentally steps on it, it will cost a life."
Qi Tiezui carefully followed Zhang Qihai's steps while speaking out his own ideas.
Zhang Qihai immediately rejected his idea.
"No, this place is full of man-eating mushrooms with hair-like roots. If we use fire to burn them, the fire will probably spread very quickly, and we may not be able to escape in time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Er Yuehong also nodded.
"That's right. And since my ancestors planted these man-eating fungi in this place, then naturally, it can also prevent other tomb robbers. Let's leave it here. It can also serve as a preventive measure."
"Too."
Qi Tiezui nodded, and then said in admiration, "As expected, you guys are more thoughtful."
After saying that, he closed his mouth and followed Zhang Qihai forward attentively.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the rear.
A soldier screamed miserably, "Save me, save me."
Zhang Qihai looked behind him and saw that one of them accidentally stepped on the man-eating mushroom on the ground. Almost instantly, the hair of the man-eating mushroom grew wildly and wrapped around his entire ankle. However, the man-eating mushroom showed no intention of stopping and continued to wrap around his body at a rapid speed.
"Give me the fire."
Seeing that they had all reached the edge of the man-eating mushroom and would be able to escape from them soon, Zhang Qihai immediately asked the person next to him for a torch and headed towards the head of the man-eating mushroom.
As expected, the man-eating mushrooms were extremely afraid of fire. The hair under the man's feet was immediately burned to ashes, leaving only black ashes on the ground.
"Thank you, Master Xiaofo..."
He had just opened his mouth to say thank you and had no time to feel grateful for surviving a disaster when the fire spread to other man-eating mushrooms in the surrounding area. These roots were flammable in themselves, and the fire spread rapidly at an unstoppable speed.
"Run."
At this time, they had just passed the cannibal road, and the fire attacked again at a fierce speed. Zhang Qihai decisively gave them orders, and the group followed Zhang Qihai's steps and ran towards the bridge next to them.
However, there are vines all over the bridge.
"Little Buddha, you've gone too far this time."
Qi Tiezui ran over quickly and said to Zhang Qihai.
"I can't help it. Human life is at stake. The man-eating mushrooms are even more tangled. If I hadn't taken action just now, I'm afraid we would all be entangled by these roots."
He said as he now ran to the end of the bridge.
The people who were with him gradually followed him to the end of the bridge, their faces filled with surprise at having survived the disaster.
However, the fire continued to attack them at a rapid speed.
Chapter 66 February Red
On the bridge, there were still a few remaining soldiers and Er Yuehong fighting a desperate battle.
However, after the fire and the breaking of the vines, the bridge could no longer support the weight of these people and began to collapse.
Although Er Yuehong and the soldiers tried their best to run towards the other side, the bridge collapsed too quickly and they could not catch up with it at all.
At this time, one or two companions had already fallen down.
The sound of screams seemed to be heard, but instantly disappeared into the deep and bottomless mine.
"That's too late."
Zhang Qihai said nervously, then he leaped up, caught Er Yuehong on his back, and jumped to the other side.
But there was still a blazing fireball on the other side, and it was obviously not a place to stay for long.
"Little Buddha, I have implicated you."
Er Yuehong looked at the huge flames behind him that were almost swallowing them up, and he choked up in his heart and spoke with some apology.
"What's the point of saying it's not a problem? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Qihai immediately interrupted him and looked straight ahead.
The distance is about three meters. It is impossible for an ordinary person to jump over it, but he has the support of the system, so it is naturally not a difficult task for him.
But now there is an extra Er Yuehong, and he has to take someone with him to jump over the three-meter-long chasm, so he has to calculate carefully.
"Second Master, hold me tight for a while."
As he spoke, he placed Er Yuehong on his back and took a few steps back, feeling the burning sensation of the flames hitting his face.
Er Ye looked at him nervously and asked in surprise?
"You... Little Buddha, are you planning to jump over?"
"Ah."
Zhang Qihai nodded, then ran forward with all his might, using this distance as his leverage point. He stopped at the bridge, then suddenly leaped over the three-meter-away chasm.
And below is a bottomless cliff.
Everyone gasped as they watched this thrilling scene, but they didn't dare to say anything for fear of disturbing him.
Er Yuehong trusted him inexplicably and just held his arms tightly.
Zhang Qihai lived up to everyone's expectations and finally landed steadily on the other end of the bridge.
The Buddha was so frightened that his heart almost dropped. Only when he saw that Zhang Qihai and Er Yuehong were standing beside him smoothly did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Are you guys okay?"
"Second Master, Little Buddha, are you all right?"
"Little Buddha, are you okay?"
Qi Tiezui, Master Fo and Master Jiu asked one after another, with nervous looks on their faces.
After all, a distance of three meters has exceeded the limit of human beings, not to mention that he was carrying a person with him. Although this miracle happened to Zhang Qihai, they were still worried that Little Buddha would be injured.
"I'm fine. I've had special training for long jump before, so this distance is fine for me."
Seeing everyone's shocked and concerned expressions, Zhang Qihai felt warm inside, but he couldn't possibly say that he now had a system, so he just made up a lie.
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
"Little Buddha, you don't know, it was really thrilling just now. The distance is too far. I was afraid that you would fall down accidentally. What if something happened?"
"It's okay."
Master Fo, Qi Tiezui and Master Jiu all spoke up and even looked him up and down. Seeing that he had no burn marks or other injuries on his body, they finally put their minds at ease.
Er Yuehong looked at Little Buddha with some emotion.
"Little Buddha, you have saved me three times, including this time. Er Yuehong really cannot repay you enough. If you need me in any way in the future, just let me know."
He said this with some emotion, and then added, "But Master Xiao Fo, when we come down to rob tombs, we should put our own lives and property first. If this happens again in the future, you'd better not worry about me. Although we got through it safely this time, if something unexpected happens, I'm afraid you will die with me."
Er Yuehong spoke with some emotion, saying that he owed Zhang Qihai too much. If he was to die because of him again, he would probably die with guilt and would not be able to rest in peace.
When Little Buddha heard his words, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he patted his shoulder and spoke seriously.
"We are all brothers. I think if something happened to me just now, you would definitely rush to the rescue without caring about your own safety. So don't say these nonsense and don't hurt our brotherhood for no reason."
Er Yuehong thought about it and realized that if it was Zhang Qihai who had the accident just now, he would have indeed risked his life. However, his words and actions just now were indeed a bit too formal for their ironclad brotherhood.
"In that case, thank you very much, Master Buddha."
Er Yuehong spoke, then smiled with relief.
On the other side, Chen Pi was still discussing with Lu Jianxun about replacing Jiumen.
When he heard Chen Pi say that he wanted to target the Fourth Master, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Didn't you say that the Fourth Master has the most enemies and is the most cautious? How are you going to attack him with so many people stationed around him?"
Lu Jianxun couldn't help but ask. On the one hand, he was curious, and on the other hand, after hearing him say that, he became a little cautious about his strength.
Chenpi glanced at him and then laughed again.
"This Fourth Master is indeed a cautious person, and he is always by his side, but as a person he has his own shortcomings. The most fatal point of this Fourth Master is that he cares about his reputation."
As he spoke, a more confident expression appeared on his face, as if he had already secured victory and knew how to defeat him.
"What do you mean by that?"
Lu Jianxun knew that he had made up his mind, but he didn't know what he wanted to do, so he continued to ask.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Lord Lu, for this matter."
Chen Pi looked at Lu Jianxun and then spoke.
"The Fourth Master is a man who values his reputation. If Lord Lu is willing to invite him, he will definitely come. It will be much easier for me to take action then."
"Of course there is no problem for me to invite him, but Chenpi, are you sure you can kill him with 100% certainty?"
Lu Jianxun nodded, but still asked one more question.
After all, if he couldn't kill the Fourth Master with one blow, then his target would be exposed, and it would be even more difficult to deal with Zhang Qishan with the Fourth Master as an enemy.
Chapter 67 Mummy
"Don't worry, these people are no match for me. You just need to entertain the Fourth Master and tell him that you recently hired a new chef who makes first-class crabs, and then leave his affairs to me."
"Okay, then let's do as you say."
Lu Jianxun also nodded, and seeing Chengpi's determined look, he felt relieved, and then he came forward and gave the Fourth Master an invitation letter.
Everything happened just as Chen Pi said. He had just handed over the invitation in the morning, and the Fourth Master appeared in his house at noon.
