Chapter 562: The True Cause of Death

As for whether Ruby lied or not, we'll find out later.

When a few people from the Hongyu Gang walked away, I beckoned Cha Yunfei and the others to stand in front of an embankment on the Yunnan River.

The channel here is relatively wide, the current is fast but there are no whirlpools, and it should be possible to enter the water.

I took out the coiled dragon and fastened it around my waist to prevent it from being washed away by the water.

Xiaolu said curiously, "Brother, are you going to catch fish?"

"It's not fish, it's ghosts."

I took out another coiling dragon lock and handed it to Sun Weiwei, "You cultivate the water attribute, and you have a strong affinity for water, so you go down with me."

"Okay."

Sun Weiwei tied herself up and handed the other end into the hands of Bodhi Zi and Xiaolu.

If we encounter danger underwater, the two of them can immediately pull the rope and help us get out.

When everything was ready, we both closed our eyes and plunged into the water.

Not to mention the rapidity of the river on the upper level, there was a lot of mud and sand, and I couldn't open my eyes when I jumped in, so I could only swim down in one go.

"Big brother, hold me."

Sun Weiwei's voice sounded in her ears, and after she entered the water, her strength became stronger.

Rou Yi grabbed my arm strongly, and her body was as dexterous as a fish, and she dived quickly down the river.

The turbulent river current, which washes the sediment on both sides of the river, will only float on the surface layer and will not sink upstream.

It was only when I was five meters below that the water became clear that I could barely open my eyes.

The bottom of the river is full of jagged rocks, and there are many bubbling outlets.

The big fish that spawned hid in the crevices of the stones, swallowing the purple mud at the bottom of the water.

My figure swayed, and I was led by Cha Yunfei who was walking on the ground underwater.

"Big brother, where are we looking?"

I pulled out my compass and pinched the spell into it.

The compass spun around a few times, pointing to the northwest where the yin force was heaviest.

Judging by the position of the compass pointer, we are not far from the place where the Yin Force occurs.

"Vivi, in the direction of the northwest river, travel seven hundred meters!"

"Understood!"

Sun Weiwei led me upstream, but in two minutes, I saw a huge iron cage not far ahead.

Only half of the cage is exposed, and the other half is sunk in the mud and sand.

Sun Weiwei and I lifted the iron cage with great difficulty.

When the water washed away the mud and sand in the cage, I saw a pile of white bones lying quietly inside.

I took out a leg bone and looked closely, and there were small tooth marks clearly visible on it, which showed that the deceased had been gnawed by fish.

This skeleton must have been left by Qingyu.

Sun Weiwei stroked the small scars on the bones, and said with pity and pity, "Being locked up in such a ghost place for a year, no wonder she turned into a ghost."

"Whoever it is, they will take revenge."

"Of course." Without thinking, I said, "If it were me, not only would I kill all the people of the Ruby Gang, but everyone involved would die."

Sun Weiwei: "In that case, why do we still want to catch the Ghost King?"

I said, "Just because you catch the ghost king doesn't mean you have to kill her."

"If the Ghost King is allowed to rely on her resentment and cultivate all the way to the peak, she will inevitably lose control of her killing thoughts and become a machine that only knows how to kill."

"Before I can do that, I need to destroy the evil thoughts in her."

Having examined the bones, I revisited the broken chains.

The Sand River Gang said that the chains broke on their own.

Hongyu said that it was the people of the Shahe Gang who were doing ghosts.

I'll have to find out what the hell is going on.

The long chains dragged under the water, and it took me a lot of effort to find the broken end.

The heavy chain is made of stainless steel, there is no rust on the top, and it should not break under normal circumstances.

Broken part

It is the position of the lock that is loosened, causing the chain to fall off.

I stroked the stubble and suddenly realized that the texture was not quite right.

The other chain buckles are all made of stainless steel, but the broken one is an iron product that seems to be of the same size but is actually lighter.

The lack of strength of iron products will inevitably cause the iron cage to break.

On a long steel chain, with a chain that breaks easily, only Ruby can do this.

Hongyu and Qingyu were originally two sisters, what made her so?

With doubts, I got out of the water with Sun Weiwei.

After wiping the water stains off my face, I said in a deep voice, "It's the ghost king killed by Hongyu, and I don't know the specific reason."

Cha Yunfei made a sudden realization, "I thought that fat woman was not a good thing in the morning, she was really a murderer!"

I couldn't help but smile, "Bad character and murder are not necessarily related."

"Alright, let's go back and rest today, and then move in the evening."

"By the way, go back and pack your things, there's a good chance we'll leave today."

When we got back, we packed a few small bags and waited for nightfall.

Night is approaching, and the sky and the earth are dark.

Probably knowing that I didn't have any money, Hongyu didn't come to deliver food this time.

Once I had packed my things, I sent a Concealment Charm to everyone.

It was still drizzling tonight, and the five of us were walking in the jungle, and the sound of our footsteps was just muffled by the raindrops.

At this time, the sky was not completely dark, and you could vaguely see the direction of the Ruby Gang's residential house, and there were bursts of cooking smoke.

The residence of the gang leader Hongyu, closest to the edge of the Yunnan River, is a large three-room house with a courtyard.

The rest of the people lived in mostly stone huts or tin huts.

There is no one around, so it's more convenient to get things done.

I held my breath as I crept closer and deeper through the hidden door.

There is an earthen stove in the courtyard with a rain shelter on top of it.

Hongyu, the down-and-out gang leader, was squatting in front of the pot table to burn firewood.

Inside the pot, hot soup is rolling, and the pork ribs and potatoes are faintly visible.

In poor homes near the Yunnan River, the only meat in the food is fish.

Being able to eat stewed pork ribs with potatoes is already regarded as the help of Hongyu, and it has a good treatment.

I first made a 'shh

When the group left, I cast a hidden spell and quietly came to Ruby.

After the ribs were stewed, she filled herself a big bowl, grabbed a barrel bone, and sucked the bone marrow in it first.

She ate with a mouth full of oil, and her fat face looked at it, and her little eyes flashed with a thief's light.

She muttered quietly, "Looks like those little cubs can't squeeze oil and water."

"Ming'er has to think of a way to do it quietly......
