Chapter 21: The Trap
Zichen immediately leaned over, brushed away the sand layer on the ground, and after taking a closer look, he found a straight gap. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Zichen used a dagger to clean up the gap again, and quickly cleared a long gap.
By the time the purple dust was cleaned up, a clear stone slab had already appeared in front of him. The slate looked very old, and the seam between the slate and the ground was so thin that the thin blade of the dagger could not be inserted.
This slate is located in an inconspicuous corner of the cave, the mechanism is cleverly designed, and the slate itself is also combined with the ground to decrypt, almost to the point of seamlessness, if it weren't for the game system, Zichen felt that he might not find this slate even if he was afraid of digging three feet into the ground.
Zichen took a lot of effort to slowly move the stone slab away, revealing a small and small dark grid underneath. Some belongings and collected medicinal herbs were not worth mentioning, and Zichen paid special attention to a fur and a bottle of elixir.
The fur looked unremarkable, except for the floating text on it as "mysterious fur", Zichen couldn't find the mystery for a while, so he put it away temporarily, and the pill, Zichen saw that the jade bottle containing the pill had a few words written on it, "Zilei Dan", and there was a line of small words below that said: "This pill is ten times more powerful than a thunderbolt pill, use it with caution." ”
The small words of this line of prompt surprised Zichen.
He knew about this "Thunderbolt Pill", and even saw the power of the Thunderbolt Pill, throwing one out, it could easily blow the ground into a three-foot deep pit and collapse the house.
Because of the huge power of the "Thunderbolt Pill", this pill has always been a military item controlled by the Daqian royal family, and it is not allowed to be circulated among the people. However, because of the huge profits, some pharmacists will still privately refine inferior Thunderbolt Pills for sale.
These inferior thunderbolts are still quite lethal, and they are often used as a means to press the bottom of the box by some Jianghu warriors who lick the blood with their knives, not to mention the high price, and they may not be able to buy it if they have money.
At this time, this line of small characters said that the power of this "Purple Lei Dan" could be ten times and a hundred times that of the Thunderbolt Pill! For a while, Zichen couldn't believe it, which showed that if it was true, how powerful should this Purple Lei Dan be?
"If it's really such power, I can have one more means to press the bottom of the box......"
Thinking in his heart, Zichen temporarily resisted the urge to test it, and put the belongings in the dark compartment into his backpack one by one.
After Zichen collected the harvested belongings, he got up, and suddenly keenly heard the footsteps coming from the entrance of the cave and the faint sound of people talking.
"Someone is coming......"
Zichen's brows sank. At this time, if he went out, he would definitely encounter someone who entered through the entrance of the cave, and it was undoubtedly reckless to do so without knowing it.
After thinking about it, Zichen finally entered the deepest part of the cave, and then the darkness hid behind a protruding rock on the cave wall, intending to see the situation.
Zichen turned to the back of the rock, and suddenly felt the soles of his feet go soft, stepping on something soft. Zichen was startled, turned his head to look at his feet, although the light was dark, he immediately saw that it was a human palm that he stepped on.
Zichen was taken aback, kicked open the yellow sand layer that was covered with his foot, and found that there were at least seven or eight corpses buried in a hurry after this rock, and it seemed faintly that there was still space under these corpses, and it was estimated that other corpses were being pressed.
"Why did so many people die, and why are they buried here at will......"
While Zichen was surprised, questions popped up in his heart. But by this time, the footsteps had sounded clearly, and the voices were getting louder and louder, and there were six people coming.
Zichen didn't think much about it for the time being, and only hid his figure.
Not long after, these people entered the cave before and after. Zichen hid in the dark, looked over, and found a man with sparse hair and dysentery who came in, and five strong men.
Judging from the names displayed, these six people belong to two groups, the man with dysentery is the captain of a hunting team called the "Dongxing Hunting Team", and the five people are similar in height and appearance, and they are the "Five Brothers of the Chang Family".
After the group entered the cave, the five brothers were all stunned, staring at the empty cave with stunned expressions.
"Dysentery, this is what you call the Treasure Cave Mansion, which has already been completely moved!"
One of the five brothers jumped out first, angrily screaming at the middle-aged man with a scarlet head.
The other four brothers also followed suit and asked:
"Dysentery, are you kidding us?"
"We've put so much effort into it, but it's not for a kind of hollowed out cave!"
"Dysentery, do you think the five brothers of our Chang family are easy to bully?"
......
The man with the dysentery laughed dryly: "Brother Chang is angry...... " said in his mouth, but his hanging hand quietly made a gesture backwards.
Before the dysentery head gesture came out, the sound of bowstring vibration suddenly came from outside the cave, and arrows swept past the dysentery head and flew towards the five brothers of the Chang family.
In this narrow space, the Chang family brothers were highly skilled in martial arts, and no matter how fast they reacted, they were helpless, they screamed and fell to the ground, and several died on the spot.
Footsteps sounded, and more than a dozen archers rushed in outside the cave, all of them drew their bows and arrows, and stood neatly behind the dysentery head, just waiting for the dysentery head to give an order, and the arrows were about to be fired in unison.
"Dysentery, what do you mean villain to do!"
The Chang brothers fell in a pool of blood, and among them, who had not yet died immediately, held the arrows on their bodies in pain and roared with extreme anger.
The man with the dysentery head had a hideous face and smiled proudly: "Hahahaha...... What do I want to do? Brother Chang, don't you still understand? Naturally, I want your belongings!"
As soon as these words came out, Zichen, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately understood. Obviously, the man with the head of dysentery was doing "no business", using the treasures hidden in this cave as bait, luring the hooked person into this cave, and after killing, he obtained the money and treasures of the deceased.
"It seems that the corpses buried here are all victims of the bait......"
Zichen's brows sank, and he completely understood everything.
At this time, the man with the dysentery gave another ruthless order, and a wave of arrows flew down, and the five brothers of the Chang family were all shot into hedgehogs and died so much that they could not die again.
Zichen has been in the dark, staring at this bloody battle. During these days in the barren forest, he fully understood all kinds of dangers, and when he saw this scene again, he once again saw the dangers of human nature and the human heart.
Zichen originally planned to continue to hide, and when the fight was over, after the dysentery head and the others left, he showed up and left. Unexpectedly, after the man with the dysentery head ruthlessly solved the five brothers of the Chang family, he suddenly waved his hand again, and several of his subordinates quickly took arrows and drew bows, aiming at the depths of the cave, where Zichen was hiding.
