_Chapter 90: The Truth
Guessing and verifying carefully is an essential quality for a good scientist. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Now, although Chu Chen is no longer an astronomer in his previous life, this quality is still perfectly preserved.
With an instinct that bordered on a statement, he instinctively connected everything in front of him with what he had seen and heard in the Blood Shadow Cave.
Originally, in his opinion, with the pacification of the bandits in the northern plains, the Blood Shadow Cave incident had come to an end. It's just that according to the current thinking, it seems that the matter is not over yet.
There is a way that is a blessing and not a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. At the beginning, he followed Mo Yunfeng's advice and did not participate in the follow-up events of the Blood Shadow Cave, but he didn't expect that these things would still find him in the end.
"If that's what you imagined, then the scope of this matter is far beyond what you expected." Chu Chen's heart was awe-inspiring.
As far as he knew, the Blood Shadow Cave incident involved the struggle between the two princes of Kaijiang King and Tuotu Marquis, and there was also the figure of the Lei Xiao Hall of the Bixiao Sect.
But everything that happened now is to involve another behemoth - the Royal Beast Gate. Things are more complicated than you can imagine, and behind this mess, the hidden sin and gore are even more chilling.
"What are you going to do?" After thinking about it for a long time, Yu Hanyan was a little unsure of paying attention, she vaguely realized that she seemed to have touched an extremely dangerous whirlpool, and out of the avoidance of danger, she subconsciously did not want to be involved.
The corners of Chu Chen's mouth curled slightly, and he said lightly: "Of course, I will investigate it and shake out all the things that are not visible." For more than 20 years, thousands of innocent people have died here, and if the matter is not announced to the world, how can their unjust souls enter reincarnation? ”
Yu Hanyan was stunned, and said coldly after a long time: "You have such a good heart? ”
Chu Chen's eyes were clear, and his righteous qi immediately disappeared without a trace, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I admit it, in fact, I am not as noble as I imagined." The reason why I decided to investigate it was to protect myself. ”
"Self-preservation?" Yu Hanyan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he quickly understood.
Indeed, although they escaped the pursuit, it does not mean that there is no danger. But what is hidden here, the mere fact that they have discovered the people of the Beast Gate is enough to be the reason why they are being hunted down and killed all over the street.
The masked man who was chasing them would never let them go, for his own sake and for the sake of the Beast Gate, the Black Wind Ridge must maintain its usual mystery and horror.
It is absolutely impossible to let people know that behind the mysterious and terrifying veil of the Black Wind Ridge, there is the shadow of the Royal Beast Gate.
"What to do?" Understanding, Yu Hanyan suddenly didn't hesitate, not that she wanted to get involved, but that she had to get involved. If the matter here is not clarified, even if they can escape this time, the two will never have peace.
Chu Chen looked up, then picked up a piece of burning wood, "Find the exit first, and then find a way to verify our speculation." ”
"Exit?" Yu Hanyan also looked around, but finally shook his head, "There seems to be no exit here, and no light can come in at all." Are you going to get out of the water? ”
"It's a dead end to go out underwater, if you don't believe it, you can try." Chu Chen smiled, Yu Hanyan didn't refute, he didn't have to think about it to know that the masked man must have planted countless pairs of eyes by the river, as long as they showed their heads, they would definitely die.
"Alright, you just wait here, I'll find the exit." Chu Chen smiled and walked towards the mountain wall alone with a torch.
He was convinced that there must be an exit here, for the simple reason that if it was closed, those plants would not be able to grow. And the fire that burned all the time was enough to drain the air and suffocate them.
But obviously, this place is suitable for plants to grow, and after so long, they don't feel stuffy, and the only explanation is that it is connected to the outside world, and there is air flowing in.
"The movement of air produces wind, which is something that elementary school students know. It seems that even in the other world, culture is very important! ”
Chu Chen laughed secretly in his heart, and secretly despised Yu Hanyan again. That chick has absolutely nothing to say, and her cultivation talent is also excellent, but her brain is a little unenlightened.
With the help of the vines on the mountain wall, Chu Chen climbed with a torch. Everywhere he went, he would stop and raise the torch to watch the flames carefully.
"I see." On the ground, Yu Hanyan did not sit down obediently and wait, but kept looking at Chu Chen, wanting to see what he was doing.
Now that she finally understood, Chu Chen was planning to judge the direction of the air flow based on the movement of the flames, and then find out where the air poured in.
This exploration process lasted for a long time, and it was not until Chu Chen climbed to a height of tens of meters that the flames fluctuated significantly. It seemed that the place where the air poured in was on the stone wall opposite him.
Glancing at the jade cold smoke on the ground, Chu Chen directly dropped the torch and began to climb horizontally with his bare hands. After a half-circle, he made it to his destination.
"The air is faint, but it's coming in from here." Tearing off a hair casually, Chu Chen quickly found a place for air circulation.
It was here that he found a small crack, the size of a little finger. Because of the light, you can't see it at all without touching it carefully.
After thinking about it, Chu Chen directly beckoned to Yu Hanyan and motioned for her to come up.
"I'll dig the stones, you are responsible for throwing them into the water, be careful, don't make too much noise, I'm not sure if there's anyone on the other side of this stone wall."
After speaking, Chu Chen directly pulled out the Yunfeng Sword, the star power rose, and the moment the purple cloud above his head appeared, a dazzling golden ray shot out from the purple cloud, and the incomparable edge was a lightning mark.
"This ...... Is this the power of the Source? Yu Hanyan was shocked in his heart, looking at Chu Chen, who was focused, his mind went blank.
She clearly remembered that on the day of the Life and Death Stage, Chu Chen cast the Purple Flame Origin, which was the domineering and boundless Purple Fire, Chu Chen successfully crossed the level to kill the Yellow Mountain of the Star Source Realm with the cultivation of the Quenching Body Realm.
Now, what he used was not the power of the flame origin, but a completely different kind of thunder power. How is this possible? Is it true that one can comprehend the two origins?
It wasn't until Chu Chen cut down a stone and handed it over that Yu Hanyan suddenly realized that she really knew too little about Chu Chen. This nasty guy in front of him, the more he looks at it, the more he looks like a fog, and he can't figure it out at all.
A passage was opened, and to Chu Chen's surprise, there was not a large emptiness behind it, but a crack inside the mountain. It looks like it was left behind a long time ago when the two mountains collided and didn't quite close together.
"Good luck, let's go, take a look inside." Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, put away the Yunfeng Sword and said with a smile.
Yu Hanyan nodded and took out a night pearl from the storage bag. With the light of the Night Pearl, the two climbed along the narrow crevice.
The path of the crack is very irregular, and the whole is spiraling upwards. During the climbing, Chu Chen unexpectedly found that the materials of the mountains on both sides of the crack were different.
With sulfur on one side and saltpeter on the other, it's no wonder that the mountains don't fit together. However, this unexpected discovery gave him a great surprise.
In a world where personal force is extremely worshipped, everything else is ignored. As far as Chu Chen knew, there was no such thing as gunpowder in this world.
Originally, he thought that there were no materials for making gunpowder, but today he found out that it was not that there were no materials, but that the people of the Xingwu Continent did not bother to study these things at all.
In fact, it is also, not to mention stronger martial artists, even Chu Chen himself can't look down on the ordinary guns in his previous life. Whether that thing can hurt him is secondary, the question is, with his speed, will it be hit?
But no matter how it doesn't, gunpowder is extremely practical today. The live target is difficult to hit, but the dead target is simple, as long as it is carefully arranged, he can completely destroy a mountain, and destroy all the contents inside.
"What are you thinking? Laughing so badly? Yu Hanyan subconsciously moved away from Chu Chen, and said in his heart that this guy must not be thinking of good things.
Chu Chen smiled, "It's nothing, put away the night pearl, I see that there is a light ahead." ”
The crack became narrower and narrower, and in the end, Chu Chen could only watch the light shoot out from the gap the size of the door crack. So it's no wonder that there was the slightest light in the cave before.
The stones were mined as usual, and soon only a layer of nearly half a meter thick remained in front of the two. Condescendingly, through the small gap, everything outside is very clear.
"It's such a big deal, such a big mountain, and the interior has been completely hollowed out." Chu Chen lowered his voice, looking extremely shocked.
"It's such a big pool of blood, you can smell blood from so far away. Below that pool of blood must be the cave we were in before. Yu Hanyan's face was solemn, Chu Chen's previous guess had been confirmed, this place was indeed a hell.
The two were discussing countermeasures, and suddenly a miserable cry came, old and young, male and female. Chu Chen glanced at it, and there was still a baby in swaddling clothes.
The group of about 100 people, one by one, wearing shackles, was driven to the direction of the blood pool by a group of black-clothed people. Perhaps because they knew their impending fate, the cries of the people were earth-shattering.
But instead of sympathy and forgiveness, this struggle was rewarded with whistling whips and vicious curses.
Although he had expected it, when he really saw someone being cut off by his head, it was like killing a chicken to extract blood, and the blood flowed into the blood pool, Chu Chen's heart was still extremely shocked, followed by boundless anger.
It is true that this is a world of the jungle, a world where power is respected, but he never thought that having great power could decide the fate of others and control the life and death of others.
"These brutes!"
The anger intensified in his heart, Chu Chen's burned eyes were red, his muscles were bruised, and his tyrannical appearance seemed to be unbearable and rush out at any time.
"Don't!"
Just when Chu Chen's eyes were purple and he was about to lose his mind, Yu Hanyan suddenly hugged him from behind, and the cold voice was the same as before, but what was revealed was not cold, but a request.
"Don't." Sensing that Chu Chen was gradually calming down, Yu Hanyan said again, this time, she put her face on Chu Chen's back, slowly swaying, a little cold, but very comfortable.
Chu Chen finally calmed down completely, sat down against the mountain wall, and listened to the sound from below, his heart was like a knife.
