Chapter 801: A New Problem
Just when Liu Xing and Yin En were worried about the future of their group, Zhang Jingxu and others were also in trouble.
After Liu Xing and Yin En left, Zhang Jingxu and the others followed Sun Meng to Tailai Village after breakfast.
After equipping the gas mask, Zhang Jingxu and the others entered Tailai Village again.
The first target point of Zhang Jingxu and the others was the location where they saw the snake man last night.
As Zhang Jingxu and the others thought, the snake man really set a trap at the staircase, simply put, it was a bottle containing unknown poison, as long as someone accidentally touched the silk thread tied to the bottle, the bottle would fall directly and shatter, and the poison inside would also be vaporized instantly, with very strong corrosiveness.
Zhang Jingxu looked at the stairs and walls that were corroded by poison, and said with some fear: "Fortunately, we didn't have the impulse yesterday, otherwise it would have been difficult for us to notice this trap in the environment at that time, and we would have suffered a big loss at that time." ”
Zhang Wenbing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, if anyone is unlucky enough to trigger this trap, then at least they will end up disfigured." ”
After the vaporized poison lost its effect, Zhang Jingxu and the others continued to go upstairs.
"It seems that this snake man should have left here by other routes, because I haven't found any traces of this snake man leaving." Ding Kun said suddenly.
Zhang Wenbing looked at the stairs under his feet and found that, as Ding Kun said, there was no trace of the snake man leaving... To be exact, it is a trace of snake people coming in and out.
Zhang Wenbing frowned, and said: "The buildings along the street in Tailai Village are all three-story single-family buildings, and it stands to reason that the snake man should only be able to enter and exit by this staircase, unless it can also gecko swim on the wall." ”
At this time, Sun Meng on the side said seriously: "As far as I know, some snake people were arranged by other mythical creatures to carry out some transformation experiments during their detention, so those snake people may look more non-mainstream. ”
"The snake man we saw yesterday was wearing a robe, and we only saw its face, so it's possible that it was modified, like adding a pair of legs to it, or a pair of wings or something." Zhang Jingxu opened his mouth and said.
As soon as Zhang Jingxu's words fell, Ding Kun, who was walking in the front, had already pushed open the door on the third floor.
Syllable.
Ding Kun's very agile figure flashed, dodging another small bottle that fell from the door.
"This bottle won't be again..." Before Zhang Jingxu's words were finished, the small bottle suddenly turned into a fireball.
Ding Kun had a warning in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Withdraw quickly!" ”
Zhang Wenbing and the others did not hesitate and went downstairs directly.
As a result, when everyone left the small building, the small fireball suddenly expanded, directly engulfing the entire small building.
A moment later, the small building disappeared without a trace in the flames...
"Damn, what the hell is this?" Ming Hanxing couldn't help but burst into a rude voice.
Ding Kun sighed and said with some worry: "It seems that we still underestimated those snake people, I didn't expect them to have this kind of big killing weapon in their hands, fortunately I was prepared, otherwise I might have been cremated directly." ”
Zhang Jingxu nodded, and said with palpitations: "I originally thought that these poisons of the snake people were all petty fights, but I didn't expect them to hide such a hand, it seems that we have to re-estimate the strength of these snake people." ”
"So, let's withdraw from Tailai Village first, right?" Zhang Wenbing asked.
Zhang Jingxu and the others nodded without hesitation.
When Zhang Jingxu and others left Tailai Village, Liu Xing and Yin En also came to Tailai Village.
After listening to what happened to Zhang Jingxu and the others, Yin En couldn't help but complain: "I'll go, these snake people have something, if they set the same trap in Tailai Village, wouldn't we be killed by them sooner or later?" ”
Liu Xing looked in the direction of Tailai Village, shook his head and said: "I think this is just those snake people warning us and wanting us to throw rat traps, after all, if those snake people still have such a big killing weapon in their hands, they would have come to us for trouble, not like this in Tailai Village, so I think there should not be many hole cards left in the hands of those snake people." ”
At this time, Director Li came over and said: "It seems that these snake people are even more difficult to deal with than we imagined, so I have applied to the above again, preparing to attack poison with poison, and attack poison with poison against the snake people's nest in Eagle's Beak Mountain!" ”
"Fighting poison with poison?" Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Director Li, what do you mean, preparing to release poisonous gas towards those snake people in Eagle's Beak Mountain?" ”
Director Li nodded, and said seriously: "Extraordinary situations must be treated very well, if we let those snake people continue to do chaos, it will cause us huge losses, and we can't kill these snake people more effectively through other means, so now we can only use poison gas to kill these snake people covertly." ”
Liu Xing sighed again, and had to admit that in today's situation, the best way to kill those snake people is to use poison gas, after all, the nest of those snake people at the bottom of Eagle's Beak Mountain is also a semi-enclosed space, and the success rate of using poison gas is very high, and it will not cause too many side effects - if you blow up Eagle's Beak Mountain directly, then all kinds of conspiracy theories will appear on the Internet the next day.
What's more, there are many ancestral graves of Tailai villagers on Eagle's Beak Mountain, and when those villagers like Li Mengyao who emigrated to other places know about it, I'm afraid they will have to cause some trouble.
Therefore, Liu Xing is also quite supportive of using poison gas to deal with snake people.
"I think it's really a good choice to use poison gas to deal with snake people, after all, now those snake people have completely cowered in the eagle's beak mountain, if we force our way into the eagle's beak mountain, I'm afraid we will encounter a lot of trouble, suffer a lot of unnecessary losses... But then again, I remember that the snake people made a lot of ventilation holes in Eagle's Beak Mountain, and I believe they also prepared a lot of escape routes, so we have enough manpower to surround the whole Eagle's Beak Mountain and block all the holes in the Eagle's Beak Mountain? Ding Kun said with a frown.
Director Li nodded, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured about this problem, I have found enough manpower, and when the time comes, I can definitely put the water around the Eagle's Beak Mountain, as long as those snake people dare to come out, they will definitely die, and if they don't come out, they will definitely die, so you can rest for a day or two, after all, the poisonous gas that needs to be used this time is still being prepared." ”
Since Director Li said so, Liu Xing and the others accepted Director Li's suggestion and returned to Rongcheng directly.
After all, now Liu Xing and his party have not done much to stay near Tailai Village, and it is impossible for Liu Xing and his party to go to trouble the snake people again, so it is better to go back to Rongcheng to rest for two days first.
On the way back to Rongcheng, Liu Xing did not forget to make a phone call to Li Mengyao, wanting to learn about Yang Xuanzhu's family from Li Mengyao's grandfather.
According to Li Mengyao's grandfather, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather moved to Tailai Village decades ago because he went to the countryside, and because Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather was a skilled blacksmith, the ironware used by the villagers in Tailai Village at that time was made and maintained by Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather, so Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather quickly integrated into Tailai Village and married a local as his wife, but Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather's wife died suddenly not long after marriage. So Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather has not continued the strings for the next ten years.
However, one day ten years later, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather suddenly brought back a woman and child from outside the village, claiming that this was his new wife and stepson, although the people in the village expressed some surprise and suddenness about this, but after thinking about it carefully, it felt quite normal, after all, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather was only thirty years old at that time, and there was no problem in marrying another wife.
However, at that time, Li Mengyao's grandfather was the same age as Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather, and the two were still neighbors, so the relationship between the two parties had always been quite good, so Li Mengyao's grandfather would often go to Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather for a drink.
So one night, Li Mengyao's grandfather was admitted to a key high school in Rongcheng because his eldest son, that is, Li Mengyao's father, so he went to Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather with wine and food to have a drink, and as a result, he got drunk directly at Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather's house.
When Li Mengyao's grandfather woke up, he vaguely heard Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather chatting with his stepson, that is, Yang Xuanzhu's father, and the content of their chat surprised Li Mengyao's grandfather.
Because Yang Xuanzhu's father told Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather that he was ridiculed by his classmates at school because he was his stepson, and then Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather told him that he was actually his own son, but for some reason he couldn't recognize each other for the time being.
At the beginning, Li Mengyao's grandfather thought that he had not yet sobered up and had auditory hallucinations, but after that, the more Li Mengyao's grandfather looked at Yang Xuanzhu's father, the more he looked like Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather, so he began to suspect that the two were really father and son.
Later, because Li Mengyao's father gained a firm foothold in Rongcheng, Li Mengyao's grandfather left Tailai Village to settle in Rongcheng, and Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather also made wine and food to see off his good friends, so Li Mengyao's grandfather would bring good wine and food back to Tailai Village every year to get together with Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather.
But a few days ago, that is, the day before Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather's birthday, Li Mengyao's grandfather had already brought gifts and was ready to return to Tailai Village, but Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather called and said that he was going to travel this year to celebrate his birthday, so he asked Li Mengyao's grandfather not to go back to Tailai Village.
Hearing this, Liu Xing got an important news - Li Mengyao's grandfather and Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather are definitely good friends, otherwise Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather would not have made that call.
"It seems that Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather knew that there were snake people in Eagle Beak Mountain a long time ago, but Liu Xing, you ask Li Mengyao to ask his grandfather again, Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather still has a good relationship with those people in the village, are these people aborigines from Tailai Village or outsiders?" Ding Kun opened his mouth and said.
Liu Xing nodded, indicating that he understood what Ding Kun meant.
To put it simply, Ding Kun is suspecting that in Tailai Village, Yang Xuanzhu's family may have other helpers.
It didn't take long for Li Mengyao to reply to the text message - Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather has a good relationship with the aborigines of Tailai Village, and Tailai Village is a small mountain village near Rongcheng because of its awkward geographical location, so no one else has come to settle here except Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather for so many years.
"This is strange, unless Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather did not join any secret churches, so he would enter Tailai Village alone, otherwise with the consistent style of those secret churches, they will definitely enter Tailai Village in groups, and will also try their best to turn Tailai Village into their own territory; But then again, if that's the case, then where did Yang Xuanzhu's grandfather know that there were snake people in Tailai Village? Ding Kun frowned.
Yin En shrugged his shoulders and said, "Come on, this original problem hasn't been solved, but there is a new one, but for us, we only need to wait for two more days, and these problems will not be a problem." ”
Perhaps.
Liu Xing always felt that things were not so simple.
Because Sonoda Zhuli couldn't see Zhang Jingxu and Zhang Wenbing, Zhang Jingxu and the others could only stay in the hotel next door, while Liu Xing took Yin En home.
Again, Liu Xing didn't dare to act alone now, because those snake people hiding in the shadows didn't know when they would attack him.
When Liu Xing returned to his room to change clothes, Taketori appeared in front of Liu Xing.
"Yo, I didn't expect you to come back, and you don't even need Ben-sama's help." Bamboo said with a teasing.
Looking at Taketori, who was still small and exquisite, Liu Xing also said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Taketori for your concern, but I really need your help this time." ”
When Taketori heard Liu Xing say this, he quickly shook his head and said: "If it's against Star Color, then I still advise you to find a chance to slip away directly, that thing is even more terrifying than the Hound of Tindarus, then I have to shy away from it even in its heyday." ”
Liu Xing looked at Taketori with some surprise, and said in surprise: "What, is Star Lottery really so terrifying?" ”
Taketori nodded, and said seriously: "Before I became an evil god, I met a star color that was about to enter the maturity stage and was absorbing the life force of all creatures in a land, and at that time I didn't know how terrifying the star color's ability was, so I wanted to prevent it from harming one side, but my attacks had no effect on it, and it immediately began to absorb my life force, if I hadn't run fast enough, you wouldn't be able to see me now." ”
