Chapter 197, Cannibalism!
"What, you say we're ...... now In the body of a turtle?", Lan Youruo screamed loudly when she heard the words, and her somewhat transfigured voice looked a little poignant under the echo of the cave.
"Miss, don't scream like this, okay? It will scare people to death! It's not a turtle, it's the Nine Treasure Turtle, the same Nine Treasure Turtle as the Nine Treasures! To be precise, we are now in the body of a Nine Treasure Turtle that has been dead for a long time!", Helianno patted the position of his heart, making an expression of being frightened by Lan Youruo.
"The Nine Treasure Turtle that has been dead for a long time, isn't that even more terrifying!No wonder there has always been a smell of ** here!", Lan Youruo wrinkled his nose and subconsciously leaned towards Helianno's side.
"I finally know why Jiubao came here, I once heard that the Jiubao Xuangui is the loneliest creature in the world, because at the same time, there will only be one Jiubao Xuangui on this continent, they will never have the company of their living kind, they can only be a lonely one forever, only at the moment they die, a new Jiubao Xuangui Xuangui will be born in a corner of the world, the Xuangui Xuangui we are in now may be the one that survived before Jiubao, Jiubao can't wait to come here, maybe it is because of the kind of induction between the same kindSeeing Jiubao with his head on the ground with a pious expression, Heliannuo felt uncomfortable for a while, he knew that this trip would encounter such a situation, he would definitely bring Qiuqiu and the little wolf with him, with these two little friends with him, Jiubao might feel much better.
"Since he is the predecessor of Jiubao, why does the big man cry so sadly?", Lan Youruo glanced at the fiery angry ape that kept shedding tears, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"The Nine Treasure Turtle is the respect of soul beasts, and it has always been the most respected object of all soul beasts, unlike other holy beasts, Nine Treasures does not have such a powerful attack power, nor does it have a huge race, but because of its unique auxiliary and medical abilities, it must have helped many other soul beasts in the past ten million years, and it can be regarded as a real convincing person with virtue!"
Helian Nuo and Lan Youruo talked quietly, but Jiubao slowly raised his head, his dark eyes flashed with crystal tears, and after taking a deep breath of the air in the cave, Jiubao identified the direction, and then quickly paddled his four short legs, crawling towards the depths of the cave.
Seeing this, Helian Nuo hurriedly pulled Lan Youruo up and followed behind Jiubao unhurriedly, but the fiery furious ape was prostrate on the ground in a strange posture, slowly squirming forward almost like worship.
The speed of the Nine Treasure Turtle is not fast, and it often changes its direction, and after advancing for a few hundred meters, Helianor finally saw some traces of soul beasts, and they are all small soul beasts, mostly rats and bats, they are busy back and forth, carrying some objects that exude a putrid smell to the outside of the cave through countless small passages.
"These guys, wouldn't they be helping the dead Nine Treasure Turtle clean up its body, right?", the shock in Helianno's heart became heavier and heavier, and at this moment he really realized that the status of the Nine Treasure Turtle among the soul beasts was far more noble than he imagined, even if it was dead, there were still many soul beasts who were willing to clean up the ** body for it, such a treatment was impossible for any other soul beast or even a holy beast to enjoy!
In Helianno's heart, there is still a question that has not been said, that is, who left the animal skin map in the black Nanmu box, and why it was buried in the depths of the Demon Moon Forest, if the cross mark represents only the huge corpse of the Nine Treasure Turtle, what is the plan of the person who drew the map?
Everything is unknown, and the answer may never be answered.
I don't know how long I walked, but the Nine Treasure Turtle, which had been leading the way in front, suddenly retreated, and it quickly turned around and raised one of its front paws to its mouth, looking quite solemn.
"Is Jiubao making us quiet?", Lan Youruo tried to keep his movements as light as possible, and his voice was as thin as a gnat.
Helenor nodded, put the burning torch on the ground and gently stepped on it with his foot, then pulled out the wolf dagger at his waist and tiptoed forward against the wall.
Looking at the expression of the Nine Treasure Turtle, it seems that there is something in this cave that it did not expect, whether that existence is a human or a soul beast, it will be the enemy of Helianor and his party!
After slowly advancing a few hundred meters forward, Helian Nuo vaguely saw a little fiery red light appear in front of him, his heart tightened, and he quickly squatted down and hugged Lan Youruo in his arms.
"It's not a soul beast, it's a human, I see the light of the torch!, according to my guess, the person who appeared in front of me is probably related to the treasure map in the black nan wood box, let's get closer and see what they are trying to do!", Helianor put his lips to Lan Youruo's ear and whispered.
Lan Youruo's expression calmed down at the moment, after all, what she was afraid of was only those things that could not be explained by common sense, although there were many bad people in the same kind, but it was finally within the range she could bear.
Helianno squatted lightly on the ground like that, holding on to the wall with one hand, moving forward inch by inch, Lan Youruo followed closely behind him, although the fiery angry ape was huge, but the movement was the most gentle at the moment, because this big guy was lying directly on the ground and squirming forward little by little!
Although it was only a few hundred meters away, Helenor's line was too cautious, and it took him half an hour to get close to the location of the firelight.
They had already seen that under the projection of the torches, two long shadows clearly shone on the ground, and it was obvious that there must be at least two people in front of them.
Due to the cavern's cavern sound, Helianor could hear the voices of the two people in front of him clearly, and strangely, the two seemed to be arguing about something.
"Big brother, the task of our trip is only to collect herbs, it's a good coincidence that we can find here, since we haven't found anything valuable so far, let's go back early, the deadline set by the teacher is almost up!", a somewhat dull voice sounded first.
"What do you know? I have already said that this is the corpse of a Nine Treasure Turtle! You don't know how precious the Nine Treasure Turtle is, do you? Even if it dies, I believe that there will be some treasures left! We can meet this is a great opportunity, and I can't do it if we enter the Treasure Mountain and return empty-handed, if you want to go, you can go by yourself!", another much louder voice rebuked a few words angrily, obviously disregarding the other person.
"Don't, I don't want to go back by myself, the second brother disappeared mysteriously on the way here, I don't want to be buried in the belly of the soul beast!", the first voice was obviously a little afraid, and when he heard the threat of the person he called the boss, he quickly dispelled the idea of going back.
"Strange, these two voices...... How does it make me feel like I feel familiar?", Helenor muttered in confusion, and the wolf dagger was clenched tightly in his hand.
Because of the relationship between the Nine Treasures, on this occasion, anyone who has any plans for the corpse of the Nine Treasures Turtle has naturally become Helenor's enemy, plus those two voices are only a little familiar, and they are not too close people in any case, Helianor will not expect the other party to give up the plan to hunt for treasures in the corpse of the Turtle because of his appearance.
"Fourth, how can I hear a voice outside? Get out of here!", just as Helianor wanted to touch the front, the voice called the boss sounded again.
"It's over, have we been discovered, but we didn't make a sound!", Helenor was shocked when he heard this, and clenched his fists to strike first!
"Ahh......h What do you mean by that?", before Helenor stood up, the situation in front of him changed again, and through the shadow projected by the torch, Helenor clearly saw that when the smaller fourth person got up and was about to come out to check, the boss suddenly burst out and thrust a dagger-shaped object into his heart!
"What do you mean? Fourth, if you want to blame you, blame this Nine Treasure Turtle corpse! It is so precious, I believe there must be a priceless treasure in front of it! Among our four brothers, it has always been your favorite money, and I have to guard against it, big brother! Let me tell you the truth, I also did the mysterious disappearance of the second child!", the boss's voice was obviously a little hoarse, and he didn't know whether it was because of excitement or fear.
Hearing the boss's words, the fourth child's body trembled violently a few times, and then he fell softly!
"I'm scared to death, I thought they found us, it turned out to be a nest fight! Listening to the boss's words, they seem to be three people coming together, the second one who didn't appear here has been killed, maybe the black nan wooden box containing the map is buried by the second one!", Helianor tried to steady his breathing, in case he was discovered by the boss who had just killed someone!
In fact, Helianor was wrong this time, the black nanmu box was not buried by the second child, but the fourth child who had just died! The three of them originally just wanted to collect some herbs in the forest, but in the mouth of a master hunter they met by chance, the three of them unexpectedly harvested the clues of the corpse of the Nine Treasures Turtle, in order to keep it secret, the three of them designed to kill the powerful hunter, and before he died, he forced out the specific location of the turtle's body, and that night, the second child mysteriously disappeared, and the clever fourth inevitably had some precautions in his heart, for an inexplicable purpose, he used the animal skin to mark the location of the turtle and buried it deep in the forest.
It's just that he didn't expect that although he was already vigilant, he still ended up being plotted in the end!
