Volume 1: Ancestral Mountain Burning Immortals - The Altar of Caution Chapter 58: The Cruel Tactics of the Soldiers and Bandits
"Then if according to Hotaru, the man in front of him has no chance to get out of the Wild Tower, then it means that the information he has has not been sent!"
After Song Siyuan finished speaking, Yue Guanchao's expression became excited: "That's, we have to take a closer look to see what is wrong with him." ”
Yue Guanchao held the bronze lamp and searched the corpse carefully, not missing any details.
From the top of his head to his lumbar spine to his legs and feet, he turned over everything he should have rummaged through, and he really didn't see any clues.
"It's weird, why is there nothing!
Yue Guanchao scratched his head a few times, confused: "Could it be that our guess is wrong, there is no clue to the treasure on this person at all." ”
Everyone couldn't find anything for a long time, and they were already about to stop it, Song Siyuan inadvertently glanced at it and saw the hanging corpse's hands clenched tightly.
She looked at everyone with an idea:
"We broke the hanging corpse's hands, and his hands were strange, ten fingers wrapped in a ball, apparently to hide something."
"Good!"
Yue Guanchao wanted to cut off the hand of the hanging corpse with a dagger, but Song Siyuan hurriedly stopped him and took out a peachwood short sword from his backpack:
"The dagger is too sharp, in case the chain is cut, and we don't know what is going on, we will use the peachwood sword to stretch his fingers open and see what is inside!"
He understood, and picked up the mahogany sword and stabbed it between his fingers.
There was a creak, and the corpse's fingers were broken apart like a blooming chrysanthemum!
Yue Guanchao held the bronze lamp close to his finger, and a leather scroll with regular edges appeared in front of him, looking at the color and text, it was obvious that it came from the scroll in the hand of the witch.
Everyone's faces were full of joy, and Song Siyuan looked excited and said:
"Finally found it, our guess is correct, after this soldier and bandit tortured and killed the witch, he got the fragment that recorded the clue of the treasure, but for some reason, he was hanged here, and no one has been found."
Song Siyuan's words made everyone's hearts sink, and Ah Ying looked at her with strange eyes: "Sister Siyuan, if Tang Dianrong's soldiers and bandits are not dead, after more than twenty years, they still can't find the fragment of the scroll in the hand of this hanging corpse, isn't it strange!" ”
"yes, I'm curious, can't they see the corpses? Or can't you see this room? ”
As soon as Lu Fengjian's words came out, everyone finally understood where the monster of the Library Pavilion was.
Yue Guanchao looked at everyone: "When we closed the door just now, those bad seeds seemed to be talking about what kind of thing the library pavilion, do you still have an impression?" ”
"They seem to be saying, 'How can there be a library here?'"
Hotaru could hear it clearly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces have never been so cold!
If Hotaru heard correctly, it means that the library they are in has completely failed for more than twenty years, and it was only after their arrival that they appeared out of thin air, and the door was not even locked just for them to take refuge.
Only such speculation can explain why the bandits are so curious about the new library that has appeared
Its appearance was certainly not accidental, it seemed that they were deliberately introduced into it, and as for why this Ghost Pavilion was attracting them, no one knew why.
Combined with the abrupt footprints in the corridor and the shadows of Hotaru's parents, they have reason to believe that they have stepped into the trap of some mysterious force.
Everyone thought about the strange part, and the numbness of their backs rushed to their scalps, and this kind of careful thinking was extremely terrifying, and everyone was shocked.
Ah Ying was already timid, and was frightened by this, so she looked left and right and said, "You say, there won't be ghosts in this library, otherwise it can appear out of thin air." ”
This sudden sentence silenced everyone present.
Along the way, the things they encountered were so mysterious that it was difficult to explain clearly.
"Isn't it a little too quiet outside?"
Song Siyuan was trying to comfort everyone, but before she could say anything, she found that the shouting and scolding outside the pavilion had disappeared, and the surroundings were silent, only their gasping was left.
"Can't you shoot it, you ran away."
Xiao Wu guessed casually.
"This group of deflated calves, it is not easy to find a living person, how can it be so easy to let us go, evil, absolutely evil."
Yue Guanchao led everyone to the stone gate, and before he approached the pavilion gate, he immediately smelled a strange smell.
"Sniff carefully, this smell is weird."
He shrunk his nose in the air, the smell literally pouring in through the crack in the door, his pupils dilating instantly as the gas grew.
"It's ...... Gunpowder! ”
Song Siyuan and Yue Guanchao said in unison.
"Oh no, these bandits got old explosives outside."
"Quickly cover your ears, lie down, quickly~ stay away from the attic door!"
"Boom... Boom! ”
It was too late, and soon after they covered their ears, there was a loud explosion outside the pavilion.
The earth-shattering sound startled everyone.
The library swayed from side to side like an earthquake, and it became more and more bumpy.
Countless books were scattered in piles.
The bronze pages of the library seemed to play a chime, and when the long dingdong screamed sadly, the gravel cracked through the crack in the roof door, causing the pavilion to ripple and choke people's nose.
Yue Guanchao couldn't dodge, and was hit in the neck by a fine flying stone, marking a bloody mark on the spot.
"Shhhh Well... These deflated calves dare to blow us up with explosives. ”
Yue Guanchao looked at his companions, they were all hit by rubble, and there were several blood marks on their faces.
"Well, this is already considered lucky, the library is stronger than I expected, and if it is blown open by explosives, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Song Siyuan motioned for him to look back, Yue Guanchao glanced back a few times, and then his eyes widened.
