But Wang Shen said leisurely: "Don't worry, wait for another half an hour, and we will open the door and go out." ”

Xu Chen hurriedly said: "When the time comes, everyone will die, isn't it too late?"

"Don't get excited!" Wang Shen said in a low voice: "It's too late, after that scream just now, he must be dead." ”

He said calmly, "What we need to do now is to make sure that the guards in this dungeon have not been awakened by the screams, so it is best to observe for a while." ”

"Are you telling the truth?"

"With my decades of experience, I can't go wrong. Wang Shen said indifferently: "Believe me, wait a little longer." ”

Finally, when Wang Shen opened the cell door with the key in his hand, Xu Chen rushed out, and as soon as his foot stepped into the musty aisle, he was delighted to find that he was full of strength.

It seems that only the Nine Yao Nightmare Demon Array has been set up in the cell, Xu Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand, and the cold ice sword suddenly appeared, he picked up the sword and walked back, but was stopped by Wang Shen, who came out later.

"Why are you going back and don't want to go out?"

"Uncle Wang, wait a minute, I'll save Zhao Sheng. ”

"Don't rush to save him, go out and see what's going on first. Didn't you say that this tower was weird, and the first priority was to find out what was going on here. ”

"Okay. Xu Chen nodded in response, and then said: "But Zhao Sheng is locked up next door, and we can't save us when we die, this is too lacking in morality, right?"

Wang Shen whispered: "I said that you can use your brains more in doing things! That young man in the prison doesn't know any spells, what if you save him now, and when he goes out and is discovered? We can run him, but he can't escape, it's better to let him stay in the cell for a while It's safer." ”

Xu Chen was stunned, he admitted that what Wang Shen said made sense, his heart began to waver, but he said strongly: "What if we go out and can't come back?"

"You give me a hundred and twenty hearts for this, as long as we live, that young man will not die. Seeing that Xu Chen was still hesitating to look back, Wang Shen hurriedly pulled him forward. "When the interruption continues, you will suffer from it, and if you rub it off, you will alarm the guards, and it will be too late to leave. ”

Xu Chen was half-dragged up the stairs by him and came to the iron gate. As soon as they open this door, they will be able to leave the dungeon and enter the first level of the Ghost Tower.

"No key to open the door. Xu Chen's face was embarrassed, although it was not difficult for him to cast a spell to break this door, but it would inevitably alarm the jailers on duty outside, and when Hu Yukun heard the sound, the situation would not be good.

Wang Shen snickered and squatted down in front of the door, took out a copper hairpin for a woman from nowhere in his arms, put it into the keyhole, and slowly tried it.

Xu Chen asked in surprise: "You want to use it to pick the lock?"

"Of course, don't you see that I'm busy, let me out, don't suddenly have a guard behind me, then we won't be able to leave. ”

"Okay. Xu Chen just nodded, suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but ask, "Can you open any lock?"

"Nonsense, otherwise my Golden Swallow's thief name is called for nothing?" Wang Shen replied casually.

Xu Chen's face changed suddenly, and he said in an angry tone: "Then when I was locked up in the prison outside the tower at the beginning, why didn't you use this ability to open the prison door?"

It's no wonder that Xu Chen was suspicious, at that time they had a chance to escape, but Wang Shen didn't say anything at all, but instead chatted with him in prison for a long time, waiting for Su Jingzhi to send someone to escort them to this ghost tower, and they were locked up again.

"Aren't I worried about you, you were unconscious at that time, and I ran away alone, isn't that going to be scolded by you for not being righteous?" Wang Shen turned a blind eye to the confusion on Xu Chen's face, and his tone was relaxed, as if Xu Chen himself was suspicious.

Xu Chen stared at Wang Shen angrily, he didn't believe the other party's words.

This matter is really weird, with Wang Shen's character, he usually has some trouble, he runs faster than anyone else, how can he be like a different person when he arrives in Zhushan, and even has a chivalrous heart, Xu Chen always feels that something is wrong, but his unsmart little brain can't figure out the reason.

"Shhh Seeing Xu Chen pursing his lips and freezing in place, Wang Shen couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't believe the little old man, then you stay in prison, and I can go out alone." ”

Of course, Xu Chen didn't want to be trapped here, and seeing that Wang Shen had flashed out of the door, he hurriedly followed.

The location they are now on is the first floor of the ghost tower, which is where the great wizard Su Jingzhi used to entertain guests, at this time the tower was pitch black, Xu Chen groped his way towards the stairs at the corner with the help of the moonlight shining in from the window, preparing to go directly to the second floor to see what was going on.

Wang Shen is a thief, his eyes lit up after walking around the tower, he had already fished out a few valuable antiques and stuffed them into his arms, and after the theft was completed, he found that Xu Chen had already gone up to the second-story tower.

Xu Chen had just gone up to the second floor, and he smelled a faint smell of blood in his nose, and as soon as he turned his eyes, he saw that there seemed to be a few people lying on the side of the wine table in front of him.

Gazing intently, there were leftover dishes on the table, wine glasses and wine jugs were crooked aside, it seemed that those guys were drunk, and they didn't notice Xu Chen's arrival at the moment, so he tiptoed closer to take a look, and found that these drunks were the jailers he saw in the dungeon, and among them was the little leader who was grabbing food in his uncle's village.

Looking around again, Xu Chen found that the corners around him were full of torture instruments, and he picked up one casually, which was stained with brown blood, and he immediately understood that this was another interrogation room for torturing prisoners.

Xu Chen couldn't help but be angry from his heart, evil to the side of the guts, swinging his sword and slashing at the thieves who slept like dead pigs, killing a few people in a row without encountering any resistance, these guys went to report to Lord Yama in their sleep.

Until the last person was killed, the man suddenly woke up, and saw Xu Chen slashing with a sword covered in blood, and he was frightened, so he quickly rolled on the spot to dodge his sword blade, and then ripped his throat and was about to call someone to come over to help.

It's a pity that he just shouted the word "yes", and Xu Chen saw a cold light coming from behind him and submerging into the thief's open mouth, killing him on the spot.

Looking back, it turned out that Wang Shen came up in time and killed the thief with a flying knife. Xu Chen secretly screamed luckily, knowing that if he made a fuss here, he would definitely wake up the thieves above, and it would be a big trouble at that time.

"How many times have I said it, don't be reckless, I don't care if you want to die, Xiao Lao'er doesn't want to fight here, and his reputation will be ruined!" Wang Shen whispered in a fierce voice, and then took the lead towards the upper layer of the tower, obviously he didn't dare to let Xu Chen take the lead again, lest he make any mistakes.

Xu Chen couldn't help laughing, isn't it just the name of a snitch, in Wang Shen's mouth, he actually said that he became a lifetime of heroic names, this is really a funny thing.

Xu Chen had already observed clearly when he was under the tower during the day, this ghost tower had seven floors, although he had only explored the bottom two floors clearly, but the more he went up, the more thieves he encountered, and they would not be as easy to deal with as those drunk jailers.

Xu Chen was not afraid of this, after all, there was no turning back when he opened the bow, if he didn't find out the situation of this ghost tower today, I am afraid it would become a big regret in his life in the future.

He had already vaguely sensed in his heart that the strange spells cultivated by Hu Yukun were likely to be related to this ghost tower, and if he could find out the mystery in it, it might be of great help to his cultivation.

But the situation on the third floor of the ghost tower surprised the two of them, there was no one in it, just a few chairs scattered and scattered, and the chairs were covered with a layer of dust, showing that no one had lived here for a long time.

This was beyond their expectations, Wang Shen was stunned for a moment, then took out the fire fold from his bosom and lit it, and found that the walls were full of cobwebs, and the ground was also full of dust, only some scattered footprints were printed on it.

"Strange, why is there no one guarding here?" the two muttered to the fourth floor, and what they saw was still the same as below, there was no figure in it, and it was empty, and not even a piece of furniture was in sight.

Going up to the fifth floor, it was still the same situation, Wang Shen couldn't help but stop, turned around and whispered to Xu Chen: "The kid surnamed Zhao in the dungeon won't be lying to us, right?"

Xu Chen was surprised: "Uncle Wang, what do you mean by this?"

"Didn't he say that Su Jingzhen had lived in the tower for a long time? Why didn't there be anyone on the third floor?"

Xu Chen replied without thinking about it: "Zhao Sheng is not that kind of person, he even caught fish with me when he was a child." ”

"So you're old acquaintances. Wang Shen shook his head and said, "But I haven't dealt with you for so many years, can you guarantee that people won't betray you?"

Xu Chen's face flushed with shame, but then his eyes lit up, and he said softly: "Zhao Sheng shouldn't lie to us, do you remember that Su Jingzhi was helped down from the tower when he met us? This shows that he lives in the tower, and now there are only the top two floors left and he hasn't gone there, so it's better to go up and have a look." ”

Wang Shen had already thought of this, and he continued to ask quietly: "If the old guy surnamed Su and Zhao Sheng are acting together in front of us, then it is not surprising that he temporarily stepped down from above. ”

"Footprints don't lie. Xu Chen took the fire from Wang Shen's hand and looked at the footprints on the ground and said, "Uncle Wang, you see, judging from the depth of these footprints, it is obvious that they were not left in one day, which can only show that there are often people walking around in the tower. ”

"Are you saying that these footprints were left by the few entourages who took care of Su Jingzhi?" Wang Shen was also carefully examining these footprints, and he finally found that these were just footprints stepped on by three or four people, so he believed Xu Chen's words and laughed softly: "Xu Shaoxia, your brain has opened up, and you have suddenly become much smarter." ”

Xu Chen honestly admitted: "It's not that I'm smart, it's just that when I was in Chongwu Mountain before, Master Nangong often took me to hunt in the mountains, so I learned how to identify footprints and track wild beasts." ”

"Hehe, that's a beast trace, you can use it against people. ”

Wang Shen was afraid that he would alarm the thieves when he went downstairs, so he blew out the fire in advance and then climbed the stairs.
