Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks

“Yes.”

The people took out tools, found the lowest point in the terrain, and began to dig trenches to divert the water. After the water drained away, they would remove the silt.

It would take a while for them to finish.

Ning Shu watched from the side and observed their surroundings. She kept a hand on the pouch at her waist which contained talismans.

The ‘dead tripe cave’ layout could create purple-haired zombies.

Did the state preceptor deliberately bury himself here?

The state preceptor who knew how to control zombies couldn’t possibly be unaware of the fact that this location was corpse-raising ground.

Did they want to become an immortal zombie?

More than three hundred years had passed. If the state preceptor was really buried here, Ning Shu couldn’t predict the kind of monster they would have grown into.

Ning Shu gulped and silently calculated her own fighting strength.

Not only did she have to face unknown dangers in the tomb, but she also had to guard against the deeply scheming Gu Rui.

It was so tiring.

Ning Shu always felt like she was walking right into Gu Rui’s trap.

The swamp bubbled loudly due to the gas produced by rotting leaves, dead insects, and animals stuck in the swamp.

This also produced a poisonous miasma.

Cheng Mingzi stroked his beard and said to Gu Rui, “Young Master Gu, the state preceptor’s tomb is very dangerous. We have to make preparations in advance. This is corpse-raising ground.”

Hearing this, Gu Rui couldn’t help frowning and he touched the jade pendant at his waist.

“No matter how difficult it is, we have to go down there.” This was his chance to revive his kingdom and it hadn’t been easy for him to get the map.

The map, combined with the information left over from the Jia royal family, successfully revealed the route to the tomb.

Ninety-nine steps had already been taken. With only one step left, he couldn’t go back no matter what.

Gu Rui glanced at Ning Shu and said to Cheng Mingzi, “Master, I will have to trouble you later when we go down.”

“This humble Taoist also stands to gain something from this. After hundreds of years, the tomb must be extremely dangerous. When the time comes, this humble Taoist hopes that Young Master Gu will listen to this humble Taoist in order to prevent unnecessary losses.”

“Of course, Taoist Cheng.” Gu Rui bent over and cupped his hands.

As Ning Shu looked at the bubbling swamp, she was filled with fear and trepidation.

This was the natural reaction of people when faced with danger.

Uncontrollable fear surged in Ning Shu’s heart and her body even began to tremble slightly.

These were the original host’s emotions. Ning Shu herself wasn’t yet afraid.

Had Fang Lanxin come here before? Did something happen in the tomb to make her so fearful of it?

Unconsciously, Ning Shu silently recited the heart-clearing chant to suppress her body’s emotions. Shaking like this would affect her agility.

Gu Rui’s men continued to dig trenches and drain the water from the swamp.

Standing at the edge of the swamp, Gu Rui was like a gentleman facing the water. It really was a beautiful place anywhere he stood. Wherever he stood became a fairyland on Earth.

By the time a layer of water and silt had been drained away, most of the day had passed.

No one knew how deep this swamp was.

They could only continue to dig more trenches.

There was little progress in clearing the swamp even though they worked until nightfall.

The group set up camp beside the swamp.
