In the man-made cave in Xiangxi that could not distinguish between night and day, if it weren't for the watch, the torturers and others would not know whether it was day or night. Although the long night finally passed, the torture technique finally figured out what happened to them here from Kent's mouth, and also learned that Kent rescued He Yuejia in the maze and gave her first aid.

Torture squatted on the edge of Kent's broken bed, looked at He Yuejia in a coma, and asked Kent, "Have you detoxified her?" ”

Kent shook his head: "That centipede poison can't be solved under the conditions here, as I said before, most of our team died because of this, I just removed the toxins and rotten flesh from the surface of her skin to help her reduce her fever." ”

Xingshu turned his head to look at Samuchuan, and originally asked him to help take a look, but found that Samuchuan was now not leaving Safon, who had become a living dead, and whispered something to Safon, who didn't know if he could hear him.

The torturer asked again: "It's already dawn, you take us out of the labyrinth first, we have other people trapped in the labyrinth, I have to go back to save them, and then you take us into the Jiacuo Palace." ”

"Impossible." Kent immediately shook his head, "I haven't left here for so many years, I'm stuck, I don't have the tools to climb back, and I don't have any way to get into the gate just outside the labyrinth exit. ”

Torture said: "You take me out first." After speaking, Xingshu turned his head to the others, "Hades, you and Samuchuan stay here first, Tan Tong, you go out with me, keep the radio open, and contact at any time." ”

Yan Gang raised the walkie-talkie in his hand and said: "It's almost out of power, the batteries are all in He Chenxue's place, I can't find her, the walkie-talkie is equivalent to waste." ”

"I see." Xingshu looked at his walkie-talkie, "From now on, the walkie-talkie will be turned on every 10 minutes, and then turned off after 1 minute, so as to facilitate contact." ”

Yan Gang raised the walkie-talkie to signal that he understood, and then stayed with Samuchuan.

Accompanied by Kent, he walked with Tan Tong through the depths of the cavern, stepped up the stone staircase, walked out of the exit of the man-made underground cavern, and got out of a bush behind a rock to return to the surface.

When he got out of the bushes, he paid special attention to the shrubs, and found that the bushes were very dense, and it seemed that Kent was not lying, he had indeed stayed in this cave for a long time, but the torturers still deduced that there should be more than this exit, so he asked, "Where is the other exit?" ”

Kent looked at him with some surprise and asked, "How do you know there's an exit?" ”

Xingshu said: "If there is no other exit, how can you save He Yuejia back?" The shrub at this exit knows at a glance that no one has touched it for a long time. ”

Tan Tong frowned: "Dead foreigners are not honest!" ”

Kent immediately said, "Below, there is an exit that leads directly to the center of the maze. ”

Xingshu was a little angry: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Just as Kent was about to explain, he suddenly raised his hand, and the torture technique turned sharply, only to see Bai Zhongzheng standing on a rock on one side, holding a crossbow and facing Kent.

Bai Zhongzheng stared at Kent and asked, "Who is this foreigner?" ”

Hearing Bai Zhongzheng ask this, he laughed first, and then said, "I said that he was half a corpse chaser, do you believe it?" ”

"What?" Bai Zhongzheng didn't put down the crossbow, first looked at Tan Tong, Tan Tong nodded slightly, and then looked at the foreigner, who raised his hands high, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and shrugged at him when he saw Bai Zhongzheng looking at him.

The torture technique raised his head towards Bai Zhongzheng and said: "He is not an enemy, he came here many years ago to find that kind of zombie medicine, that is, the 'wrath of the witch god' of the Miao people, this guy is a doctor?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng put down the crossbow: "What the hell is going on?" ”

The torture technique turned to look in the direction of the maze: "I have to go in first to rescue Yuan Zhenba and He Chenxue, it's been a night, and the walkie-talkie in their hands has not responded, I don't know if something happened, I'll explain to you while walking." ”

Bai Zhongzheng nodded slightly, jumped off the rock, and was about to walk towards the maze when a familiar voice came from the bushes drilled out by the three torturers before: "Slow!" ”

Xingshu, Bai Zhongzheng and the others were stunned for a moment, turned around to look, and saw Fan Meng walking out with He Yuejia, who was pale in his face, followed by Xu You, followed by Yan Gang.

The moment Yan Gang came out, he shook his head slightly towards the torture technique, which meant: I can't stop him.

Fan Meng helped He Yuejia to step forward, it didn't seem to matter the identity of the foreigner, he just came to the waterhole, looked at the stone door in the waterfall opposite, and the water swallowing beasts on both sides, and then said, "How can this door be opened?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng was silent, Fan Meng turned around and pointed at him, and asked again: "I'll ask you!" ”

Bai Zhongzheng put the crossbow on his shoulder, twisted his head to the side, and whispered to the torture technique: "If you hadn't stopped him, I would have beaten him all over the ground to find his teeth." ”

Tan Tong shook his head slightly, glanced at Xu You, who was squatting on one side and participating in the topic, just smirking.

The torture technique stepped forward: "Fan Meng, the first thing now is to go in and rescue Yuan Zhenba and He Chenxue." ”

After the words of torture were finished, the weak He Yuejia also nodded quickly, and looked at Fan Meng with pleading eyes, but Fan Meng didn't seem to hear it at all, just stared at the stone door: "As long as the stone gate is opened, our task will be basically completed, and it will be the Jiacuo Palace, I think, everyone should know, right?" Wait until we go in and find what we're looking for, and then we'll easily go back and save them. ”

Xingshu shook his head: "Time waits for no one, and none of us know how to open that door, and we don't know where Xing Renju hid the clues in the Jiacuo Hall back then, I guess I will have to ...... sooner."

"You estimate?" Fan Meng was panting when he spoke, it seemed that he was also tired, and because he hadn't rested for a long time, his temper became irritable, "When will it be your turn to estimate?" ”

Xingshu shook his head: "Fan Meng, you should also have a good rest, when people are particularly tired, they will lose their basic judgment, which will lead to ......"

"Lead to what?" Fan Meng's eyes would close and open again from time to time when he spoke, no matter how much he supported him, his physical strength was at the limit - he and Xu You had been wandering around the underground river last night.

The torture technique realized something, and subconsciously looked at Xu You, who smiled at him. The torture technique immediately understood that Xu You deliberately took Fan Meng to the underground river last night, which was originally simple, and it was less than an hour's journey, but under the leadership of Xu You, it took a full night.

Xingshu didn't understand what Xu You meant, but he felt that it did help him, because Fan Meng's current insistence was because of his selfish desires on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was eager to detoxify He Yuejia.

"Fan Meng, calm down, listen to me, you need to rest, He Yuejia also needs to ......" Xu You walked straight behind Fan Meng, picked up a wooden stick on the ground, and directly smashed Fan Meng unconscious.

Fan Meng fell to the ground, Xu You threw away the stick in his hand, and grinned at the torture technique: "No thanks, in fact, I'm also tired, I want to sleep, he's too noisy." ”

Xingshu didn't thank him, just nodded, turned to look at the others, and said, "Cannon King, you and Hades will stay, and Bai Zhongzheng and Kent will go into the labyrinth to rescue He Chenxue and Yuan Zhenba." ”

When the torture technique turned around and was about to leave, Xu You, who had already leaned against the rock and closed his eyes, said: "Hey, I said, it is also a scourge for people like Fan Meng to stay, do you want to send him away?" ”

Of course, Xingshu knew the meaning of "send away", he slowly turned around, pointed at Xu Youdao, and said, "Now, I have the final say here, you shut up and sleep." ”

Xu You smiled, still closed his eyes and said, "I'm for your good, he's really a scourge." ”

Xingshu looked at Hades and nodded towards him: "Look at Samuchuan, be careful of doing stupid things." ”

In fact, there was something in the words of the torture technique, and Yan Gang certainly understood what he meant, and immediately set his eyes on Xu You, who was already snoring deliberately, and tightened the mountain knife in his hand.

The torture technique turned around and entered the labyrinth, and Bai Zhongzheng immediately asked about Kent behind his back, but the torture technique simply said: "I will talk about it again when I see Yuan Zhenba, so as not to have to say it twice." ”

Bai Zhongzheng deliberately didn't go ahead, but let Kent lead the way, he wanted to know if Kent used the same method as him to find the right way, who knew that Kent was not only taking them to avoid the mechanism easily, but also walking in the maze, as if walking in his own garden.

The torture technique was very curious, and Bai Zhongzheng felt even more incredible, so he simply stopped Kent and asked, "What method do you use to get in and out of the labyrinth?" ”

Before Kent could answer, the torturer asked Bai Zhongzheng instead: "What method did you use to get out?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "The law is the arrangement of the organ, and it is located according to the four directions and the twelve hours, in fact, it is very simple, as long as you find out the law." ”

Torture looked at Kent and asked, "What about you?" ”

Kent gestured, then pointed to the strange mark under the stone pillar next to him, then crouched down and pointed to another identical mark on the floor: "This mark is the only key, you see, there are such markings on all sides of the pillar and on every floor, but you must find the right one." ”

Bai Zhongzheng immediately understood: "That is to say, there are only two correct ones, one is on the stone pillar and the other is in a certain stone slab, as long as you find these two exactly the same, and then follow the direction indicated on the mark, go to the next area, and then find the next mark?" ”

Ken nodded: "But you still need to step the marked stone slab, so that you can make the mechanism fail within a certain period of time, the expiration time is about five minutes, I have studied, there is a similar throttle valve or something like that, and now it is much easier, many of the mechanisms here have failed, I remember when I came, the stone pillars in this labyrinth will rise and fall up and down, that is, the time when the stone pillar descends, will block the mark, resulting in you can't find the same mark at all." ”

Torture nodded: "I see, what if I deviate from the direction?" Just like now, if we want to find the other two companions, we will inevitably go off course. ”

Kent pointed to an area on the right, "In areas that are off the course, there are also markers that indicate the right direction, just find the mark." ”

"I see, I see, Kent, you're smart." ”

"No, no, no." Kent shook his head, uncovered his clothes, revealing scars all over his body, and said ashamedly, "For so many years, I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out this mechanism, and it was only a few years ago that I completely figured out what this mechanism was all about, so that I could walk freely in the labyrinth. ”

As he spoke, Kent gave Bai Zhongzheng a thumbs up: "You, very powerful, it only took a few hours to unlock the mechanism of the maze and find the pattern." ”

Bai Zhongzheng nodded slightly, he was not modest, and there was no need to be modest.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Kent, the three of them searched around, and finally found Yuan Zhenba and He Chenxue, who were waiting in a certain area and were almost close to despair.

The moment Yuan Zhenba saw the torture technique, he who was originally tired immediately got up, turned his head to He Chenxue and said, "I didn't lie to you, did I?" I knew the torture would come back to save us! ”

In fact, at the moment when Yuan Zhenba got up, He Chenxue didn't see that the torture technique had come at all because of her eyes, but after Yuan Zhenba said it, she slowly got up, but at the same time, she was extremely embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

However, Yuan Zhenba, like Bai Zhongzheng before, was extremely surprised by Kent who followed the torture technique, and asked, "Who is he?" ”

"It's hard to say, talk as you go." As he spoke, he pulled Yuan Zhenba to the side and asked in a low voice, "Is she okay?" ”

Yuan Zhenba shook his head: "It's okay, I'm a little frightened, and the rest is fine." ”

Xingshu nodded, and still said "thank you" unnaturally, Yuan Zhenba just smiled, returned to his usual expression, looked at Xingshu and asked, "What the hell is going on with this foreigner?" ”

"Remember the camp we saw before we entered the labyrinth? ”

Yuan Zhenba was surprised: "Do you want to tell me that this foreigner is one of those foreigners who came here in the eighties of the last century?" He is...... Is he the only survivor? ”

"Nope." Torture shook his head, "When the 10 of them came in, two of them survived, one was Kent, and the other was Chinese, in fact, Kent was not sure if that person was alive, but I was sure that person was 100% alive." ”

Yuan Zhenba was puzzled: "Are you sure?" How can you be sure? ”

Torture chuckled and said, "Because of that person, you once mentioned that there are only three people in the world today who know about the existence of the Jiacuo Palace...... ”

Hearing this, before the torture was finished, Yuan Zhenba blurted out: "Chen Taidong!?" ”

Torture nodded: "It seems that you don't know when Chen Taidong was in the first place and who he came here with, right?" ”

Chen Taidong said: "Yes, I don't know the exact, but I know that he has been here, because he has talked to people about the Jiacuo Palace, mentioned the medicine cave, I think of the ancestor also said that the medicine cave in the Jiacuo Palace, so I concluded that he should have been there, otherwise he should not know what is inside the Jiacuo Palace." ”

Torture nodded slightly, looking at Kent, Kent didn't know why, he had unkempt hair, so he had to show a mouthful of rotten teeth and smirk at the two of them......

At the beginning, three Americans, Kent, Mills and Bauer, led by their guide Chen Taidong, and six other Chinese came to Xiangxi Tongshan Ridge, and smoothly slid down the cliff to the mysterious valley below.

However, during this period, 3 Chinese stumbled and fell off the cliff, and there were only 7 people left in the team, which is why the torture technique judged that there were only 7 people in the camp, and 3 of them were foreigners.

Of the three people who fell to their deaths, one was from Beijing, and the other two were local police officers in Hunan. Because he was also descending from two ropes at that time, Kent didn't know how the three men died, and of course he suspected that the three men were killed, but it was Mills and Ball who were in control, so he didn't say much.

When the torture technique said this, Yuan Zhenba immediately said: "It's not a suspicion, it's a certainty, Mills and Bauer didn't come to the meeting in the first place, their purpose was to take the opportunity to come to Hunan, China, so just to take advantage of this opportunity, according to what you said before, they came to find the wrath of the witch god, so in the original plan, if they succeeded, they must have left through illegal channels." ”

"My speculation is the same as yours, but what I have always understood is why Chen Taidong came here?" According to what my master once described, this person has a strong sense of nationality, and it is absolutely impossible for him to bring foreigners to take away what belongs to our China. ”

Yuan Zhenba thought for a while and said, "And then?" ”

Like the later torturers and others, it was already evening when Kent and his group of seven went down to the valley, and then they chose a slightly flat place to set up camp, and Kent immediately got into a working state and began to collect specimens on the spot, so their tent was also very strong. However, in the process, Kent found that Mills, Bauer, and Chen Taidong seemed a little unsettled, and seemed to not want to stay here for too long, as if they just wanted to stay for a day, and then continue to set off.

Still like the torture and others, there was a ghost insect attack that night, when the giant centipede appeared, it instantly attacked 3 of them, and then only Kent, Mills, Bauer and Chen Taidong were left in the team.

Yuan Zhen said: "This is the same as the 3 skeletons we saw before entering the maze, they were all poisoned by ghost insects, but who was the skeleton in the maze later?" Kent and Chen Taidong are sure to be alive, so it's either Mills or Ball. ”

After the remaining 4 people entered the labyrinth, they changed their previous strategy, and found that Mills, who was full of danger here, asked Bauer, a retired soldier, to fight the front station, but although Bauer was a soldier, he was no different from ordinary people in the face of this kind of mechanism, and he didn't go long before he was shot through by a short arrow and died instantly.

Speaking of this, Xingshu looked at Yuan Zhenba and Bai Zhongzheng, who didn't speak: "Guess how Mills died?" ”

Before Yuan Zhenba could speak, Bai Zhongzheng said without thinking: "was killed by Chen Taidong, when Chen Taidong was still about to kill Kent, but Kent ran away, Kent ran into the maze, but Chen Taidong did not chase him, but walked out of the maze and entered the Jiacuo Palace, because he thought that Kent, a foreigner who didn't understand anything, must be dead, who knew that Kent was still alive, right?" ”

Yuan Zhenba immediately nodded, agreeing with Bai Zhongzheng's speculation, while the torture technique nodded: "Clever! ”

However, then the torture technique immediately said: "Have you thought about it, why did Chen Taidong kill the killer!?" I know that Chen Taidong is a jealous and hateful person, but he will not kill people casually, what is even more strange is that he left from here, and after returning to the Northeast, he deliberately injured people and went to prison, and deliberately hurt people, everyone in the industry knows about it, but no one knows what is going on. ”

Bai Zhongzheng shook his head slightly, he was not too good at analysis.

Yuan Zhenba stood there and glanced at He Chenxue, who was sitting there eating the food Bai Zhongzheng had given him before, and suddenly he thought of something, he turned to look at the torture technique and said: "Mills is an American, and Chen Taidong doesn't like to come into contact with foreigners, so who is the middleman between them, that is, the introducer?" This person is the key! ”

Xingshu nodded slightly, lowered his head and thought, thinking about it, he suddenly raised his head slowly and said: "Yuan Zhenba, the map left by your ancestor is the topographic map drawn by Xing Renju at the earliest, and now the one in Fan Meng's hands......"

Yuan Zhen Bayi clapped his hands, pointed at the torture technique, and said, "After that picture flowed out of my ancestral master's hands, it finally fell into Sheng Feng's hands!" ”

Xingshu nodded: "That's right, from the existing clues, it is speculated that this middleman, the guide, and the introducer are Sheng Feng, and all the clues point to him." ”

"Therefore, Sheng Feng has always wanted to find the Jiacuo Palace, in the late eighties of the last century, he just became the master of the Heyu Gate, and began to work on this matter, but he was very smart, and did not show up by himself, but offered the treasure like the 'wrath of the witch god' This strange product was dedicated to the Cusco company, which was not an international treasure hunting company at that time, and found the most powerful Chen Taidong, and asked him to be the team leader, but in fact, his wishful thinking was ......" Yuan Zhenba stopped when he said this, stunned.

After a long time, Yuan Zhen said: "Shengfeng, this old thing is really a fucking thief, he knows that Chen Taidong will protect the Jiacuo Palace, so he should pretend to be threatened by the Cusco Company and let Chen Taidong come forward to help, he also knows that the Cusco Company will do things to kill people, so when climbing the cliff, Mills and Bauer killed the three public security, which completely angered Chen Taidong, plus after the remaining Chinese were poisoned, Mills and others saw death and could not be saved, so Chen Taidong was ready to get rid of Mills one by one after entering the labyrinth. Bauer and Kent. ”

Bai Zhongzheng said at this time: "But Chen Taidong later also figured out what was going on, this is why he went to prison by himself after returning to the Northeast, he was worried that Sheng Feng would find a way to pry open his mouth and get out the secrets of Jiacuo Palace, and the prison is the safest place, after all, there is a strict order in that place, even if Sheng Feng has a way to find someone to go to prison, he can't act as freely as outside, and force Chen Taidong to be questioned." ”

Kent listened to it in a fog, and he didn't know what they were talking about, but at this critical time, He Chenxue interjected and asked: "According to your speculation, things are very clear, when Shengfeng offended the people of the Cusco Company, he did not find the secret from Chen Taidong, and had to be subject to the Cusco Company, and the Cusco Company kept forcing him to give an answer, and in desperation, he finally had to use a stupid method to ask Zheng Cangqiong, who was as famous as Chen Taidong, to come out, but Zheng Cangqiong did not go, and it happened that the criminal technique became the first work of the Jade Casting Society." , Everyone knows what happened after that, but instead he fell into the big net laid by Xuan Pupil, the task was a complete failure, and as a last resort, he simply pushed the boat down the river and was arrested by the police, which was equivalent to being protected by the police. ”

Bai Zhongzheng thought for a while and said, "According to Miss He's meaning, the weasel is simply the code name of a certain group or a subordinate organization of the Cusco Company?" This operation was controlled by Cusco from the beginning? ”

He Chenxue nodded silently.
