Shen Yan'er turned around and smiled miserably at Ah Zhen, and said self-deprecatingly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, because I have this ......"

As she spoke, Shen Yan'er ripped off a wooden sign hanging from her belt. She brought the wooden sign close to Wei Shixuan, who was howling fiercely. Wei Shixuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stopped struggling and stopped howling.

Then, Shen Yan'er held the wooden sign and pointed at Wei Shixuan motionlessly.

After a while, something unthinkable happened, Wei Shixuan not only did not attack Shen Yan'er, but also began to retreat to the rear, gradually moving away from Shen Yan'er.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Ah Zhen, Kou Xuebing and Xiao Hei couldn't believe what had just happened. All the walking corpses they had encountered before had pounced on people like beasts that smelled blood. And Shen Yan'er actually has a way to make the walking corpse take the initiative to avoid herself, which is really amazing and absurd.

"This brand was given to me by King Ning." Shen Yan'er hung her hand weakly and tied the wooden card back to her belt. This wooden plaque is what Phoenix Nanhua, the king of Ning, gave her self-defense before entering the mass grave. When Shen Yan'er asked about the use of the wooden plaque, he also deliberately sold it and said, "You will know it later."

Now, Shen Yan'er finally knows.

Although she picked up a life with this wooden card, there was no trace of happiness and joy in her heart. On the contrary, she was now full of resentment and anger. The fists clenched unconsciously kept shaking, not because of fear, but because of anger.

"They already knew what would happen in the mass grave, and this qiē was a trap they had carefully planned!" Shen Yan'er gritted the root of her teeth angrily and hatefully, biting painfully.

The truth is already obvious. Shen Yan'er stared at the bloody holes on Wei Shixuan's neck and the blood stains on her lips and said, "At first, it was just that Wei Shixuan was bitten on the neck by some poisonous animal, and then she changed and turned into a walking corpse and bit the surrounding sweeping girls. The Sweepers locked her in the cellar in desperation, but it wasn't long before the Sweepers turned into walking corpses and continued to bite other living people they encountered in the tunnels. The reason why there are so many walking corpses in the tunnel is precisely because the poison is 'contagious'. ”

Ah Zhen shuddered when she heard it. Xiao Hei and Kou Xuebing were both silent, their expressions solemn. The indifference and cruelty of the imperial court made them shudder.

If it's just for the sake of picking draft girls, why bother so much to watch so many innocent women die tragically? There are probably other more unspeakable secrets behind it. However, at this moment, Shen Yan'er and the others are still wandering at the entrance of this huge secret, and there is still a long, long way to go before they know the truth.

Shen Yan'er turned around, moved her gaze that fell on Wei Shixuan to look at them, and continued: "If you want to survive, you can only rely on your own strength to get to the exit. They don't care if we live or die. Because they have seen this kind of tragedy a lot, it will be repeated every year, and there is no novelty. The tone was surprisingly calm.

Ah Zhen and Xiao Hei didn't speak, one was scared silly, and the other was already silent. After a long while, Kou Xuebing finally responded, saying, "It's too late to quit now." However, don't worry too much, didn't a hundred people survive last year? Moreover, we still have the amulet that the king has rewarded. ”

Kou Xuebing said this all to boost morale, and after knowing the truth about the walking corpse, she herself was also panicked in her heart. In her words, she directly said Shen Yan'er's talisman as "we", it seems that she has regarded Shen Yan'er as a comrade-in-arms who advances and retreats together, and will no longer dislike Shen Yan'er and Ah Zhen for dragging her feet.

Shen Yan'er turned around and looked at Wei Shixuan who was whining and roaring in the corner, and her slender willow eyebrows wrinkled even deeper. "The amulet that the prince can give me casually, will Wei Shixuan not have it? If so, how did she get killed? ”

That's a big question mark indeed. Kou Xuebing was also stunned for a while, and after reacting, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and walked towards Wei Shixuan, saying, "It's not easy to see if she has a talisman on her, just search for her." ”

Shen Yan'er grabbed her hand, shook her head regretfully, and said, "It's useless, I've searched it before." "Wei Shixuan only has a jade pendant and a map on her body, and there are no other suspicious objects, and the jade pendant and the map are fragranceless and tasteless, not like something used to drive away the walking corpse. However, Shen Yan'er still concealed the matter of the map and did not report it.

Kou Xuebing wanted to ask something more, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she heard the footsteps of the walking corpse above her head change slightly. "The walking corpses are gone?" From the sound of footsteps fading away, the walking corpses seemed to be guided by something, and slowly left the supply warehouse.

"The person who saved Wei Shixuan is here." Shen Yan'er stared at the stone gate and said quietly. There was no trace of excitement in his expression, but a pile of hatred. Because they are not "straws that save lives", but "initiators" of a disaster.

As soon as Shen Yan'er finished speaking, a thin crack suddenly opened in the stone door, and the dim candlelight shone in through the crack and fell on the dark stone slab at the bottom of the cellar.

Immediately after that, I only heard a "boom", and the stone door was opened by people outside.

Three tall figures stood in the backlight, looking down into the cellar, looking extremely majestic.

Shen Yan'er narrowed her eyes, and after her eyes that were accustomed to darkness accepted the light again, she finally saw clearly that they were two men and a woman.

The stone door was opened by a man and a woman. The man is in his early twenties, with a face like a crown of jade, a green shirt and a long robe, and a polite and polite manner. The woman holds a dagger in her hand and a long knife at her waist, fierce and capable. Behind them was a noble son with magnificent instruments and gorgeous clothes - Shen Yan'er recognized him as Phoenix Nanhua at a glance.

"Lord be careful." When the woman saw the figure in the cellar, she immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Phoenix Nanhua. After making sure that Shen Yan'er was a human being and not a walking corpse, she relaxed a little and lowered her hand holding the weapon.

"Who are you? What are you hiding here? Phoenix Nanhua asked as he walked down the steps. In fact, asking is equivalent to not asking, who else can there be in the mass grave at this moment except for the show girl? When he went down to the cellar and saw the faces of several people clearly through the faint light from the outside, he immediately showed a "oh-oh, I remember you" expression.

Xiao Hei and Shen Yan'er left a deep impression on him. One almost killed him (in fact, Xiao Hei was worried about his identity being exposed, and just wanted to take him hostage to escape from the encirclement, not really wanting to take his life), and the other saved his life with "empty-handed white blades". As for Ah Zhen and Kou Xuebing, he had a vague impression.

"Lord Wang, Miss is over there!" The fierce woman who followed closely behind Phoenix Nanhua looked around, and was the first to find Wei Shixuan tied up in the corner.
