244. Critical moments

"The smell came from here, and the man must be here..."

Chen Xiao's body slowly rose and began to look for the owner of the bloodstain on the pile of bones.

After searching for a short time, he finally found a corpse not far away, the body was not completely ossified, but it was so heavily decomposed that he could not see his face clearly, and he could only vaguely see that he was wearing a mountaineering suit.

Chen Xiao turned his right hand into armor, wrapped the corpse tightly, and brought it back to the ground.

After returning to the ground, Yu Meng also came up, although she was a woman, she was not cold to this rotting corpse, nor was she uncomfortable at all, but she didn't dare to touch him with her hands.

"This corpse looks like a man, and the blood is on this person?"

Chen Xiao nodded, and quickly rummaged through the clothes on the corpse with both hands.

"Is this...?"

Chen Xiao found a pendant in the pocket of his clothes, the front end of this pendant was sharp, the lower end of the cone was shaped, inlaid with gold wire, the color was pitch black and transparent, and it had a moist glow in the firelight.

Chen Xiao had seen this kind of thing in a book, this is a gold talisman, which is generally worn by tomb robbers to ward off evil spirits, and it is something that the captain of the gold school carries with him.

As soon as the gold comes out, there will be a big tomb!

And the identity of this person has also been proven, he is an upside down, and the thief hole outside is estimated to have been hit by him.

"Judging from this golden talisman, this person should be the owner of the cave outside, but I don't know why he died miserably here?"

The talisman had been around for a few years, and the pangolin's claws in front of it had been polished to a shiny glow, and there was a corpse aura on the surface, and it looked like it had followed its master to many graves.

While they were studying the corpse and touching the golden talisman, the others had already arrived, but when they saw the corpse, they all stood far behind, not daring to step forward.

Even Chiba, who is usually not afraid of heaven and earth, and even dares to kill, does not dare to speak at this time, after all, this highly decomposed corpse is really a bit stimulating to the senses.

And when they saw that Chen Xiao and Yu Meng's research was in full swing, they didn't intend to disturb them, but instead wandered around the city to find out if there was any way out.

After all, it must have been beyond time now, and it is a dead end for them to go back now, so it is better to find a way out here, and have a chance to escape from here, otherwise, they will only be caught back.

Chen Xiao also put the gold talisman into his pocket, and covered the corpse's face with the broken clothes, as a way to express his consolation for his tragic experience.

"I didn't expect you to be quite emotional? Why do you want to cover this corpse at such a time? Yu Meng said with a smile.

Chen Xiao shook his head, turned around and whispered.

"No, I'm just afraid I'll have nightmares at night..."

He'd seen too many dead people, and although he pretended to be innocent, he actually endured torture every night, and only one or two days a week could sleep peacefully, and the rest of the time he couldn't rest for long.

This also led him to kill zombies later, or when he killed someone, he developed a habit, that is, to let him close his eyes casually, which would also make his heart feel a little better and not be unable to sleep.

However, at this time, Chen Xiao suddenly found a problem, if this person was here to fight, it was impossible for only one person to come, and he would definitely find a few helpers, but he had been looking here for a long time, and he had not found a similar corpse, nor had any traces.

This in itself is very unbelievable, according to the degree of decay of this corpse, if those people also encounter accidents, they will definitely be discovered by themselves, no matter how hidden they are, they will leave some traces, and the current situation is just the opposite.

This also indicates that those people may not have died, and they left this person behind and fled elsewhere.

"If that's the case, it's a bit difficult to find them, after all, the ruins are so big, I don't know where they're going to get out."

Chen Xiao's train of thought entered a desperate situation again, and he also realized that the time seemed to have passed, and it was too late to choose to go back at this time, and those guards would search here sooner or later.

However, they may be delayed by the gold mountain outside for a while, but this is not a long-term solution.

"Chen Xiao, look! This stele looks like it has Chinese characters on it! ”

Chen Xiao hurriedly looked at the sound, Yu Meng was standing in front of the stele, he didn't know what he was looking at, he hurriedly walked there, and also looked at the stele.

What is the word? Trespassers on forbidden land, die...! What does that mean? ”

Chen Xiao was confused by the words on the stele, and since he came here, he felt that this place was a little strange, this stele was obviously built later, or brand new, and it was out of place with the surrounding buildings.

And now after seeing the words on the stele, he is also determined to have his own idea, this stele is a product of later construction.

And this also shows that there were people here before, and although I don't know why they built this thing, it at least proves that someone knew about this place, and they got out of it without any problems, and not from the same way they came.

"There must be a way out of this place, let's go around and look around!"

Chen Xiao hurriedly flew into the air, and Yu Meng also used the space to jump and came to a high tower, looking down on everything below.

But before they could find anything, the others had already found something.

"Look! There's a corpse here too! Xiaoying exclaimed.

"Don't be afraid! I'll check it out! ”

Medusa took the rest behind her and walked alone towards the corpse under the wall.

The corpse was under a collapsing earthen wall, and it appeared to be highly decomposed, but it was not ossified, and it was wearing a mountaineering suit.

"Looks like he should be in the same group as the corpse just now, but he came here, and that person was left under the stone tablet..."

Seeing that Medusa had already walked over, the others finally plucked up the courage to walk over.

"But this person's body is a little different from the corpse just now, there are no wounds on the surface of the corpse just now, but the clothes are a little damaged, and this person is covered with wounds, and they are all lacerations, and they are all new wounds... This means..."Wanhua said softly.

"That means something brought him here and bit him like this!"

Everyone nodded, but soon they realized that there was movement around them, and it sounded like friction.

"Is this the sound of a snake?"

"Everyone, be careful! Watch your step! ”

Medusa was very familiar with snakes, after all, her hometown was rich in them, and she also had great respect for snakes.

Despite this, she also knew the danger of this creature, it was okay if it was not a poisonous snake, it would only leave a scar, and if it was a poisonous snake, a light bite could kill a person instantly.

What's more, now is the end of the world, if it is a mutant snake, then the toxicity is not known how many times magnified, and for them, it is even worse.

The grinding sounds were incessant, and the things seemed to be around them, but they were not in a hurry to attack them, and it seemed like they were observing their danger.

And they stood in place, no one dared to act rashly, after all, among them, only Medusa and Wanhua have offensive abilities, and Medusa's abilities are not effective against animals, which is equivalent to only Wanhua alone.

Wanhua slowly pulled out the scimitar on her waist, this knife that she was usually reluctant to use, she was going to use these wild meat today.

"Chiba! Protect yourself! ”

"You know, I'm not easy to mess with!"

Chiba didn't have any weapons on him, so he took two wooden sticks and put on a defensive stance.

And Medusa and Xiaoying are protecting Xiaoxi behind them, after all, she is the youngest person here, and whoever has an accident, she can't have an accident.

What's more, Chen Xiao is not here, once something happens to her, how to explain to him?

Luckily, both of them were armed and the guards didn't have time to check on their bodies, which gave them something to defend themselves against.

"Sister Ying, Sister Sha, you don't have to worry too much about me, I can protect myself..."

Xiaoxi didn't want too many people to protect herself, especially her father didn't want her to worry about her.
