Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 2167

Chapter 2167: Corpse Worms

“They’re corpse worms, avoid them,” Cheng Mingzi said in a deep voice.

Corpse worms were a very common kind of burial worm, but it was scary to see so many of them at once.

The people with martial arts acted immediately. They mobilized their qinggong to run forward using the walls.

Those who didn’t react quickly enough were immediately covered with corpse worms and became nothing but bone. Soon, even the stark white bones disappeared.

These corpse worms had mutated under the energy that came from the corpse raising ground.

If the corpse worms were to escape the tomb, it would be a disaster. No matter how small they were, they would be a terrifying existence if they acted together.

After all, there were ant colonies that could even kill an elephant.

Gu Rui pulled Ning Shu along as he ran using his qinggong.

Ning Shu directly witnessed Gu Rui’s strength as he dragged her, an overweight person, and still ran faster than the others.

When the rotten smell of the corpse worms gradually disappeared, everyone stopped. Their current location was probably higher than the entrance because the pa.s.sage was no longer covered in water.

Gu Rui let go of Ning Shu’s hand. He was a little out of breath.

Mo Juechen also gasped for breath with his hands on his knees.

Ning Shu glanced around. There were originally over two dozen people in the group, but now there were only about a dozen people. Half of them had died in just the first wave.

Ning Shu didn’t know what would happen next.

“Let’s move quickly, lest the corpse worms decide to give chase,” Cheng Mingzi said.

The group began moving before they had even caught their breath.

However, there was no water in the pa.s.sage so it wasn’t as strenuous to walk.

As Ning Shu walked, she looked around the pa.s.sage to see if there were any traps or hidden mechanisms.

The journey was smooth and there were no hitches.

It went so smoothly that it felt unsettling.

Gu Rui stopped and said to Cheng Mingzi, “Taoist Cheng, let’s rest for a while.”

Apart from the corpse worms, they hadn’t encountered any other danger.

Since people were afraid that their tombs would be raided after they died, tombs would usually be filled with traps.

However, the group hadn’t triggered a single trap.

This was very abnormal.

The word ‘deathplace’ had been messily engraved on the slate covering the entrance. However, currently, this place felt nothing like a so-called deathplace.

Could it be that there was something big coming up and the lack of danger was to reduce the tomb raiders’ vigilance?

Cheng Mingzi shook his head. “Young Master Gu, we must stay vigilant. It’s very dangerous here.”

Gu Rui nodded. “Then, everyone, be careful and continue on.”

As the group continued to move forward, Gu Rui didn’t let go of Ning Shu’s hand.

The act looked quite romantic, but Ning Shu was extremely wary of him.

The pa.s.sage went on and on with no end and it seemed they were moving even higher because the floor no longer had any signs of water.

Were they inside the mountain now?

There still weren’t any signs of danger.

This made everyone increasingly uneasy. Cheng Mingzi pinched his fingers with an extremely serious expression.

Mo Juechen clenched his fists tightly.

The hairs on Ning Shu’s body had been standing up on end since the moment they entered the tomb.

It was her body’s perception of danger. In a situation like this, she wanted to turn around and run, but she had to bite the bullet and continue on.

“Let’s take a short break,” Gu Rui said.

Ning Shu sat on the ground with a thud and did whatever was most comfortable for her.

Ning Shu took out something to eat. People quickly became hungry when they were nervous.
