Chapter 357: Accidents
The mythical exclusion zone is like this, you don't go to the heart of the exclusion zone and never know the real secrets buried inside. Legends can only be used as an auxiliary.
I said I wanted to go up and have a look, but the man crouched on the ground and looked at the stairs covered with bones: "Someone walked by here." Although the other party covered it up, it still left traces. β
Li Bingning tilted his head sideways and said, "This is not a method of covering up the footprints of the god probe. You go first, I'll sweep the tail. β
I nodded slightly, carefully skirting the bones on the ground and walking upward. Li Bingning said as he walked: "The people of Du Miao who fought here back then. The Miao people's martial arts are in their own vein, and the weapons they use are different from those of the Central Plains, and the weapons scattered here are all from the Miao warriors. It seems that no outsiders participated in the war back then. β
The bones on the ground were so old that their clothes were so tattered that they could only be identified by the rusty blades. The first half of the stairs is indeed the bones of a samurai. Judging from the position of the skeleton, it should have been a large number of samurai who crowded the narrow mountain road to fight for their lives, and they even had a few tug-of-wars in the mountain pass, which caused a staggering casualty.
But shouldn't this be the main altar of the Five Poisons Sect? Where is the Gu poison? Where is the wizard?
I was in the middle of my confusion when out of the corner of my eye appeared a girl sitting sideways in the white bone bush. I instinctively tried to reach for my gun, only to find that the other man had no breath.
Most of the clothes on the girl's body had been rotted, and the strands hanging on her body could no longer hide the girl's graceful posture and her skin that could be broken by blowing.
Judging from the fabric on her body, she didn't know how many years she had been sitting on the mountain path with white bones as companions, but her skin still had a moist sheen.
I deliberately walked up and pressed my hand twice on the girl's face: "The body is still elastic, how long has she been dead?"
Li Bingning lightly stabbed the corpse's leg with the tip of the knife: "There is no blood in the corpse, and the muscles have been completely necrotic." If you look at the oxidation of the jewelry on her body, I guess she must have died in the war. β
I don't doubt that she died in that battle, but I can't imagine what kind of power could make a young girl sit on the edge of the battlefield in the midst of a torrent of screams and killings, facing a mountain of bones and stirring up a river of blood. Unless she's part of the battlefield too.
Li Bingning repeatedly observed the corpse and said, "It's a bit strange that she is sitting in this position...... Look at her eyes......"
Li Bingning, who used the tip of the knife to pick the eyelids of the corpse, screamed back, but I used the tip of the knife to pry open the eyelids of the corpse again - the corpse's eyeballs had long since disappeared, leaving only two black hole sockets.
Li Bingning said in a trembling voice: "Her eyes, will they be gone a long time ago?
"Probably not. "I took a few steps along the girl's corpse, and there were more than a dozen identical corpses in front of me, all of them facing the bones on the stairs and sitting near the battlefield.
"No," I said suddenly, "these bodies have been touched! They were not facing the mountain at first, but the mountain. β
I walked quickly over to a corpse: "Look at the ground. Although the person who moved the corpse carefully covered it up, he still brought out some of the wet soil that had been crushed by the corpse. The girls followed the group up the stairs and sat down on the edge of the trail under the cover of the samurai. β
I stood next to a corpse and looked up the hill, and what I saw happened to be the first hall on the left side of the mountain path: "They are attacking the main hall." Let's go, go up and have a look. β
The entrance to the main hall has been blocked by white bones. Li Bingning and I grabbed the door frame and jumped into the hall, and as soon as we stood firm, we saw a dry pool.
The pool built in the center of the main hall is two hundred square meters, and a huge toad white bone is scattered on the platform in the pool. Judging by its bones, the toad must have been at least two meters tall before it died.
Li Bingning couldn't help but gasp: "The gods enshrined by the Five Poisons Sect are living poisons?"
"It should be!" I was shocked. A toad that grows to about two meters is enough to cause a sensation no matter where it is placed, no wonder it will be worshiped as a god by the Five Poisons Sect.
Since the toad is alive, could the remaining four poisons also be alive?
I was about to take a closer look at the toad bones in the pool, when I heard footsteps outside the main hall - someone kicked the bones off the road and ran up the mountain road without hesitation?
Li Bingning and I glanced at each other, got up and jumped into the pool in the hall, and hid behind the platform.
It didn't take long for me to hear someone shouting angrily: "Look for it, see where that surnamed Ye ran away! Catch me alive, I will let him taste all the Gu worms before he dies!"
It was the soft voice of the water.
Ye Xun encountered Miao Jiang Gu Master in the tunnel, and it seemed that he had made the other party suffer.
It seems that Ye Xun is fine.
As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard Long Mei say, "Great Wu, I don't think it's time to hunt down Ye Xun. The remnants of the Five Poisons Sect have already entered the mountain, and we should concentrate on dealing with them. As for Ye Xun, we have the surname Bai in our hands, and we are not afraid that he will not come out. β
Dr. Bai was caught?
"No!" Shui Qingrou roared, "If you don't kill Ye Xun, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" β
Long Mei saw that she couldn't stop Shui Qingrou, so she stopped talking. The warriors of the Miao family led by Shui Qingrou quickly rushed into the main hall and searched along both sides of the pool. I leaned against the back of the platform and pulled out my gun, quietly aiming at the side of the platform, and Li Bingning also opened it*.
Long Mei shouted at this time: "Don't search behind, all of them will return." β
Shui Qingrou said coldly: "Long Mei, what do you mean?"
Long Mei explained unhurriedly: "Great Witch, I don't think Ye Xun will hide in this hall. He escaped with a coffin, it was not convenient to move, and if he hid in the main hall, he would definitely be blocked by us. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing. β
Shui Qingrou said coldly: "You mean I'm stupid, right?"
"Don't dare!" Long Mei said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "However, I don't think it's a wise move to waste time for Ye Xun." The remnants of the Five Poisons Sect preemptively entered the secret realm, if they were allowed to get the secret left by the Five Poisons Sect in the secret realm, not only would we be very dangerous, but they would even make the Five Poisons Sect make a comeback and dominate Miao Jiang. We can no longer afford to take such risks. β
Shui Qingrou's voice became colder and colder: "Do you mean that I am doing this too much? Then let me ask you, how do you know that the coffin that Ye Xun is carrying is not a corpse god Gu? I suspect that Ye Xun is a person of the five corpse gods, and if you don't find him out now, there will be endless troubles." β
Long Mei sighed: "Since Da Wu thinks so, I have nothing to say, as long as Da Wu doesn't regret it." β
"I never regret what I do. Shui Qingrou said sharply, "Search for me, search carefully!"
The Miao family warriors who had just stopped immediately searched along both sides of the pool again, and Li Bingning and I could be exposed to each other's sight at any time.
I lightly touched Li Bingning, signaling her to prepare for a breakthrough, and I suddenly stood up from behind the stone platform, raised my hand and fired two shots in the direction of Shui Qingrou, and then turned my hand and shot at Long Mei.
Shui Qingrou was yelling at people several times, I had already determined the other party's location through the voice, and she didn't expect someone to hide behind the platform and suddenly shoot, before she could react, she was pierced by two bullets, and when two blood arrows sprayed up from her body, the red rays drawn by the bullets in the air also hit Long Mei's side.
"Let's go!" I didn't have time to see what the results were, so I jumped up from the pool with Li Bingning. Li Bingning threw a grenade into the crowd at the moment when our heels were not yet firmly established.
"Get down!" Long Mei exclaimed in surprise and fell down, Li Bingning and I got up at the same time and smashed the back window and jumped out of the hall.
I originally thought that there would be a flat ground outside the back window, and no matter how bad it was, there should be a place to stay, but who knew that behind that hall would be an abyss, and the two of us didn't even have time to turn around and save ourselves before we fell into the abyss.
The moment I fell from the clouds and fog into the abyss, my hands were desperately grabbing at the side, but there were only grassless rocks on both sides of the abyss, and even if I wanted to find a life-saving weed, God would not give me such a chance.
Before I could regret it, I smashed it into a large net that looked like a bird's catch. The net on the tree slammed into the ground for several meters under the impact of me and Li Bingning, and then the branches were broken, rolling me and Li Bingning to the ground.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I said with a frightened Li Bingning face: "I have a dagger on my leg, you pull it out and cut the net." β
Li Bingning and I were entangled in the bird net, and my two hands couldn't move at all, so I could only let Li Bingning reach out and draw the knife. The other party touched my leg for a long time without touching the handle of the knife, but there was a sound of footsteps around us.
Someone asked, "Fourteen, what should you do with these two people? Do you want to throw them into the pool and feed them to the Gu God?"
"Take it back first, and see what the eldest sister wants to do. Fourteen's voice suddenly startled meβit was Enron.
I struggled desperately to turn back, but there was a heavy blow on the back of my head, and I fainted as soon as it was dark.
When I woke up again, I had been shackled and hung on the wall of the torture chamber with a "big" character. Li Bingning was hung up not far from me, and she hadn't woken up yet.
I was pondering how to remove the handcuffs when An Ran's voice came from outside the door: "Open the door!"
"This ......," the guard hesitated, "Fourteenth brother, the eldest sister said that she wouldn't let you in." You see......"
An Ran said coldly: "I'll explain over there, eldest sister, just let me in." β
"Fourteenth Brother ......"
An Ran's voice suddenly sank: "You don't even listen to me?" I don't embarrass you, you let me in, lock the door again, and then find the eldest sister yourself and tell her that I have to enter the door." β
"Alright then!"
