Chapter 529: Bite the Bullet
The eyes of the people standing outside the city wall were divided into two groups, half of them staring at the computer screen, wanting to see what was above the city wall, what was biting off Chen Xin's head.
The other half of the people focused their eyes on Xu Xiaoyuan's body, watching her lie on the top of the city wall, and slowly raised the camera in her hand, worried about her.
And Chen Ziyang's head turned like a rattle, constantly switching between Xu Xiaoyuan and the computer screen, as if he didn't want to miss a single detail. Although he was also very interested in the things on the city wall, he was even more concerned about Xu Xiaoyuan's safety.
Now Chen Ziyang is really extremely depressed, after all, it was because of his suggestion that Liu Cong arranged for someone to climb the city wall. As a result, one of the two people on the city wall lost his head, and the other fell on the city wall, and he saw that he was also very lucky, if there was really no way to enter the city of the imperial tomb from the city wall, then his sin would be great.
And now a third person is involved, especially if this person is still a Dao Gu. In this era, Daogu is as rare as a giant panda, except for those gods who cheat money, there are really few Daogu who are serious.
A true Dao aunt like Xu Xiaoyuan with strong skills is even rarer, not to mention that because of her high skills, Chen Ziyang also has a special good impression of her, and really doesn't want anything unexpected to happen to Xu Xiaoyuan again.
Just when Chen Ziyang was wondering whether his previous idea was a bad idea, he suddenly saw a picture of a city wall battlement displayed on the computer screen, and it was obvious that Xu Xiaoyuan had already held the camera over the city wall.
At this time, Chen Ziyang was even more nervous, the two people who climbed the city wall before were attacked at this time, and now I don't know if the mechanism like the head of the huge black python will appear again.
Xu Xiaoyuan was very careful, and when there was still a height of a stone brick from the battlement of the city wall, she stopped and inserted a steel claw-like thing into the gap of the stone brick, so as to stabilize her body, and at the same time, she could also use the power of this steel claw to support her body, so as to restore her strength. Her other hand held the camera high and slowly raised it towards the top of the city wall.
The picture from the camera looked very unstable and shook very much, I don't know if it was because Xu Xiaoyuan consumed too much physical strength in the process of climbing, or because of her tense relationship.
Because the light on the city wall is really limited, the picture transmitted by the camera on the computer screen is somewhat black and white, but there is a faint green light through, which should be related to the green light curtain in mid-air.
The overall effect of the picture looks like a processed ghost movie, which seems a little out of place when three people have just died, adding a sense of fear out of thin air.
Just when everyone was attracted by the picture transmitted by the camera, Zhen Hao quietly walked to the bottom of the wordless monument.
The bodies of the two team members who were shot dead in front of the city gate before, as well as Chen Xin's body, were all placed on the platform under the wordless monument. There was nothing extra to cover, and the three bodies lay straight and upright.
The bodies of the two team members who were shot dead before are still full of crossbow arrows, it's not that everyone doesn't want to sort out their remains, first, they have too many crossbow arrows on their bodies, and they really can't pull them out, and second, even if they pull out all these crossbow arrows, maybe they might as well be filled with crossbow arrows in the blood holes all over their bodies.
Zhen Hao moved his gaze to Chen Xin's corpse. He had previously judged from the severance in Li Linzhi's hair that it was not a black python that attacked the two people, but some kind of sharp mechanism, but after all, the incision in the hair didn't look so real, so Zhen Hao planned to come to Chen Xin's corpse to take a look.
Although Chen Xin suffered the least damage, he was the one who died the most. Those two people still have the whole corpse, and Chen Xin's head is gone, considering the feelings of other people, Zhen Hao did not check the corpse in full view of everyone before, and now while everyone's attention is not here, he should study it carefully.
Probably because all the blood was sprayed on the city wall, there was not much blood next to Chen Xin's corpse, so Zhen Hao stared at Chen Xin's severed neck carefully.
Very consistent with his previous guess, Zhen Hao saw that the incision on Chen Xin's neck was very neat, and even the fracture of his cervical vertebrae was very flat, and it was obvious that the thing that cut off Chen Xin's neck was very sharp, and the creature would never be able to do this.
No matter how sharp the teeth of a creature are, it is impossible to cause such a wound, and the section that is bitten by the creature will never be so neat, but should be as jagged as jagged teeth, and a lot of minced flesh will be pulled out.
Seeing that his idea was confirmed, Zhen Hao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a creature, it should be easier to crack a fixed mechanism than to deal with a huge creature. With this in mind, he wanted to go back to the computer screen and see what was so powerful above the walls.
But just as Zhen Hao was about to divert his gaze, he noticed a revealing pattern on the platform below the wordless monument.
Although most of the blood in Chen Xin's body was sprayed on the city wall, there was still some blood in his body to a greater or lesser extent. When the corpse was parked on the platform under the wordless monument, the blood flowed out along the incision in Chen Xin's neck, and a small amount of blood flowed around the corpse.
On this small pool of blood, there is a ring-shaped mark that is very obvious, this ring is very regular, not like it is naturally formed, this discovery made Zhen Hao raise his vigilance, and hurriedly squatted down to see what was going on.
At the same time, the camera in Xu Xiaoyuan's hand had completely lifted the battlements on the city wall, showing the situation above the city wall on the computer screen.
The city wall is very thick, the distance between the inner and outer battlements is at least eight meters, and the top of the city wall is also paved with long strips of boulders, although the light above the city wall is not too sufficient, but the things on the entire city wall are still very clear.
The city wall was blank, whether it was the black python that everyone had guessed before, or some sharp mechanism, except for the huge rectangular stone bricks and dust, the city wall was really empty.
The people staring at the computer screen all had puzzled expressions. If it was really like Zhen Hao said, what kind of sharp mechanism ate Chen Xin's head, he should always be able to see the shadow of the mechanism, the mechanism is not something that can be moved at will, it is impossible to appear when it is used, and it disappears when it is not used.
With this question in mind, the crowd continued to stare at the screen. After Xu Xiaoyuan adjusted the angle of the camera, he slowly rotated the long stick in his hand left and right, so that the camera rotated a certain angle to the left and right, so that there would be more pictures of the city wall appearing on the computer screen, which could make the people below see more clearly.
With Xu Xiaoyuan's rotation, the pictures above the city wall of more than ten meters on the left and right were all displayed on the computer screen, and the farther places were not clear because of the light, but within the range of more than 20 meters, everyone still did not see anything on the city wall.
"Could it be that it wasn't some mechanism that attacked Chen Xin just now, but really a black python? The python swam somewhere else after eating his head, so we can't see it? Yasheng grabbed his collar tightly with one hand and said in fear.
After examining Li Linzhi's injuries, Yasheng found that Li Linzhi had just fainted because of a strong impact, and her body should be fine, so she also focused on the computer screen.
After all, women are a little less courageous, and Yasheng's action of grabbing her neck looks like she is very afraid that a snake will get into her clothes.
Although the others did not speak, judging from everyone's facial expressions, it was obvious that some people agreed with her statement.
"Don't worry about it, what attacked Chen Xin was indeed a mechanism, not a black python, the mechanism is just below the battlement on the outside, because of the angle of the camera, so you didn't see it."
Suddenly, Zhenhao's voice came from the back of the crowd, and everyone turned back in surprise, not understanding why he was so sure.
Xu Xiaoyuan, who was above the city wall, was very anxious in her heart, and since she raised the camera, she had not received instructions from the people in the team at all.
In the end, she couldn't see what appeared in the picture of the camera, and whether there was any danger behind the battlements of the city wall one meter away from her, she didn't know, the fear of the unknown had been tormenting Xu Xiaoyuan.
When Mao Sui recommended herself to explore the city wall before, Xu Xiaoyuan was actually a little hesitant, she didn't want to do it, but she was really helpless.
His master Jia Da was already a little unsociable in the team at this time, and several verbal attacks made Jia Da the target of public criticism, if he didn't do anything as an apprentice at this time, he and his master really had no way to mix anymore.
If it was better before entering here, there was no danger at that time, after all, and now he has just reached the bottom of the city wall, and he will be killed and seriously injured in an instant, and he doesn't know how many unknown dangers there are, if there is no help from others, it is very likely that his master will not be able to get out alive, which is why Xu Xiaoyuan gritted his teeth and wanted to explore the city wall.
When it comes to climbing skills, she is not the best, and she can't take her turn, Xu Xiaoyuan is doing this for the sake of her master Jada.
But when she really got to the top of the city wall, she regretted it a little, but it had come to this point, and she could only bite the bullet.
At this time, Xu Xiaoyuan seemed to have put a hand into an invisible box, groping for what was hidden in the box, even if the contents of the box were very common, but in her imagination, it was extremely terrifying.
Just when Xu Xiaoyuan scared herself and felt that she was about to cry, suddenly the voice she had been looking forward to came from the communicator.
"Aunt Dao Yuan, listen carefully, there are no huge pythons on the city wall, just some mechanisms, you do what I say now."
Zhen Hao's words undoubtedly gave Xu Xiaoyuan a shot in the arm. After hearing Zhen Hao say that there was no black python on the city wall, but just an ordinary mechanism, Xu Xiaoyuan instantly felt that the darkness above her head was not so terrifying, and the fear in her heart disappeared in an instant.
Although the other people were still in doubt, no one wanted to bother Zhenhao at this time. Zhen Hao is still very well known in his heart, if it were not for the critical moment, he would not directly take over Liu Cong's command, so everyone knew that Zhen Hao was completely sure, and Liu Cong didn't say anything, but let him give an order.
Under Zhen Hao's command, Xu Xiaoyuan tied the rope on her body to the upper edge of a battlement. Zhen Hao told him that he could only tie the rope to the upper edge of the battlement, never touch the lower edge of the battlement, and never touch the city wall between the two battlements. Although Xu Xiaoyuan didn't understand Zhen Hao's intention to do this, she still did as instructed.
After tying the rope, Xu Xiaoyuan, under the command of Zhen Hao, turned the camera sideways, directly crossed the battlement above the city wall, and shone to the innermost side of the battlement of the city wall. Similarly, when performing this action, Zhen Hao also told Xu Xiaoyuan not to touch the inner edge of the lower edge of the battlement and the city wall between the two battlements.
As the camera penetrated, everyone found that there were pitch-black iron balls hidden in the dead corners below the battlements, and an iron ball was placed on the city wall between each battlement and the two battlements. Previously, due to the angle of view, these iron balls did not appear in the camera footage.
Each of these iron balls is about one meter in diameter, and the surface of the iron ball is polished very smooth, and there are four black iron chains protruding from the iron ball, two of which reach into the battlements or the gaps in the battlements, and the other two into the city wall.
Seeing such a picture, other people admired Zhen Hao even more, I really don't understand why this kid suddenly opened his mind, and he would be unpredictable and know things that everyone didn't know.
Chen Ziyang finally let go of his hanging heart, fortunately, this time Xu Xiaoyuan was not harmed, and it seems that the mechanism above the city wall has also been cracked by Zhen Hao, and the team is expected to pass.
"Alright, you can come down. Wait a minute! Turn your camera back to the angle you just had! Just when Zhenhao had just asked Xu Xiaoyuan to evacuate, he suddenly gave the opposite order, obviously seeing something else in the picture.
As the camera in Xu Xiaoyuan's hand moved, everyone saw that there seemed to be a knot tied to the battlement on the inside of the city wall, and this knot was not tied by Xu Xiaoyuan.
