Volume 3 The Dragons Chapter 36 Salvage the Body

Xiu'er squinted and looked at it carefully, and after a while, she said, "It should be the second possibility, the backpack and other things outside the tent are still there, this place is still a long distance from the outside world, unless these people get the treasure and leave without regarding, otherwise it is impossible not to even take the backpack away!" ”

I tried to look at it, but my eyes were far from being as good as Xiu'er, and I could only see a vague shadow for a long time, or Old Man Shi opened his mouth to make sure that this was indeed the case. "If there's a deadly mechanism lurking here, it's probably in this hubo above the cemetery."

Hearing this, I looked at the calm water in amazement, "You mean, there will be fierce beasts in the water?" ”

"If the previous guess was correct, the lake is very shallow, and there could be no beasts. The most likely thing is that there is a colorless and tasteless poison, you must know that during the Ming Dynasty, this aspect of development was still relatively powerful. Prime Minister Hu surnamed Hu, as an important minister, is afraid that he will set up the last protective barrier outside his cemetery. Old man Shi said.

"It's useless to say more, let's go around to the camp of those tomb robbers first, and start from the location where they went down to the lake, even if they die, there will be corpses at the bottom of the lake, and if we salvage them, we can more or less understand the cause of death." Kuroko said.

So the people set out again and made a half-circle around the lake. In fact, as I walked around, I found that the low position above the lake could be seen at a glance from any angle, and at the same time, no matter whether the wind between the peaks was strong or small, the lake surface was calm like a mirror.

Regarding this point, I also asked Old Man Shi, and he couldn't answer why, so he could only say that since Prime Minister Hu personally chose this place. There must be something unique about this place, and the key reason for this phenomenon is probably in the ancient tombs below.

As I walked, I listened to him, and from time to time his side face appeared in my field of vision, and a strange feeling crept up in my heart, but for a moment I couldn't figure out what it was.

Until the four stopped talking. Silent and about to walk to the camp, the old man's footsteps silently quickened at that moment, I suddenly understood that something was wrong: his cowardly appearance before was timid, weak, and shrunken, and seemed to disappear unconsciously, becoming calm and sophisticated, as if he was familiar with the road.

Thinking of this, I shifted my gaze to Kuroko. I wondered if I should tell him about it. But after thinking about it, since I can find it, I must be as meticulous as a sunspot, and I must have realized it a long time ago. He didn't point it out, he should have wanted to see what kind of wishful thinking Old Man Shi was having.

Xiu'er walked beside me, and when she saw me frowning, she thought I was worried about going to the lake, and she couldn't help but have a gentle smile on her face. The smile was seven points similar to the smile on the 'mother' I saw when I was four years old.

Arrived at the grave robbers' camp, and sure enough. The various hiking bags were neatly stacked aside, and Kuroko checked that the most important food and water were still there, proving that they definitely hadn't left. Having identified the problem, he set his sights on the lake, searching for the location of their descent into the lake. Because the water of the lake never fluctuated, the messy footprints on the ground, although some of them were hidden by the snow last night, were still faintly visible. I saw Kuroko pointing not far away and saying, "They went down from there!" ”

I wanted to go over and take a look, but Old Man Shi saw this and hurriedly reminded, "Be careful, the lake water may be highly poisonous." ”

The blue surface of the lake is reflected in the sun. From time to time, it glows with a colorful brilliance that can make people forget its dangerous side, and it is hard to imagine that such beauty is the culprit that has swallowed up the team of tomb robbers.

We found a place not far from the lake and sat down, and there were no testing instruments at hand, the first thing that needed to be considered was whether it was poisonous could not be tested, and after thinking about it again and again, it was still the sunspot who took the lead in making a move, only to see him take out the green knife and walk towards the woods behind him, after a while, a sound of knife chopping came, and soon he walked over with a thick tree trunk in one hand, "Since we can't be sure whether there is a poisonous problem, then we can only fish out the corpses of those tomb robbers first, and then make plans!" Come, get out of the way, and hope they don't go deep into the middle of the lake. ”

Just do it, Kuroko withdrew the green knife, his hands were slightly clenched, and his ten fingers were slammed into the trunk at the end, and the sound of 'bang bang bang' rose in response to the situation, although I had seen him do this trick, but at this moment goodbye, I was still very surprised, and Xiu'er and Old Man Shi were the first to see each other, and they were shocked and didn't know what to say.

Kuroko easily lifted the trunk of the tree, which was about 30 meters long, stretched it into the lake and began to paddle up, once, twice, three times...... Until the tenth time, when we were about to give up, thinking that they had died after entering the tomb, the top of the tree trunk seemed to have encountered a huge resistance, and no longer moved forward, but fortunately, Kuroko's arm strength was amazing, and such a small difficulty could not be difficult for him. I saw the muscles in his arms shake violently, and the trunk of the tree surfaced with the blocking object, and swept over and landed on the shore with lightning speed.

By the time the object surfaced, we could see that it was indeed a corpse, but it seemed to smell a fleeting smell of burning.

When it was picked ashore, we took a closer look and found something strange. Old Man Shi stared with a calm face at the almost skinless body on his body, the flesh on his body seemed to have been almost eaten by something, and only a small part of the corpse still had some shredded flesh remaining. He looked at me and said, "Boss, you may have said that there are really fierce beasts in this lake, according to the situation of the camp, these people are at most the water that went into the water last night, what kind of creatures can toss them into this shape so quickly." ”

For the dead, we have seen too much, at this moment facing this white bone, I don't feel anything strange in my heart, it's just strange, judging from the situation just now when the sunspot trunk is inserted into the bottom of the lake, the depth of this lake can only reach the thigh of an adult at most, generally speaking, in such a shallow place, it is impossible for large creatures to survive, how can there be something to eat these people so cleanly.

Old man Shi squatted down and carefully observed it closely, and then said again, "The good news is that the lake water is not poisonous. The bad news is that I may not have been very strict in what I said just now, but if you look at the shallow bite marks on the bones of the corpse, it means that no matter what it is, its teeth are very sharp, but its mouth is extremely small, much smaller than that of humans, and the bite marks are all over the place, and there are a lot of these creatures, and I am afraid that this lake is their old nest. Another point is that the time it takes these grave robbers to go from the moment they go to death is no more than an hour, and from the point where they can go, there should be fewer creatures in the waters near the lake.
