Shi Cheng sat down on the altar dejectedly, his dull gaze sometimes looking at the corpse of little Alido, and sometimes at the corpses of the other children around him.

Again...... I...... No one was able to save them......

Shi Cheng hated his incompetence in his heart, why didn't he discover the dirty deeds of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce earlier, why did he choose to believe in Xu Fengshi's character, and why didn't he find this underground palace earlier...... But in any case, these children in front of them have died, and once their lives are gone, they are irretrievable, and the so-called "healing the dead flesh and bones" is just a little exaggerated thought of the world.

Xu Fengshi...... That's right...... This guy should be alive by now.

Shi Cheng stood up and scanned the surroundings with cold eyes, the importance of this underground palace is self-evident, and the other party must have left a lot of clues here.

"The people of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, as well as the controller of this underground palace, whether you are connected with the Lu clan or not, none of you want to get out of the forbidden area alive today!" Shi Cheng's heart ignited with rage.

"Old Stone...... These children ...... What to do? Wu Neng choked up.

"Many of these children were sold by their biological parents." There was a rare indescribable sadness in Iron Mask's eyes, and after hearing the words of little Alido, Iron Mask quickly understood why the little girl appeared here.

"In the meantime, let these children be buried in the ground." Shi Cheng got up and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, "This dungeon is likely to be the most important part of this huge underground world, although there are no guards here for some reason, there must be many clues left here." ”

The atmosphere in the dungeon was extremely oppressive, and the three of them barely collected their emotions and began to rummage up and down inside the dungeon.

Shi Cheng and Tie Mian were responsible for searching the ground, and the search in the air was handed over to Wu Neng's trap worms.

It didn't take long for Iron Mask to stop at the door of a remote stone chamber, his eyes solemn.

"Shi Cheng, Wu Neng, look here."

Shi Cheng and Wu Neng hurriedly came, and after seeing the tragic scene in the stone room, both of them couldn't help but gasp.

The narrow and remote secret room was full of adult corpses, the strong smell of blood permeated the narrow space, the red blood soaked the floor and walls, and the pungent impact made Wu Neng smoke back several steps.

Shi Cheng squatted down and carefully examined the corpses in the stone chamber, and he found that the clothing of these people was relatively consistent, and they could be roughly divided into two categories, one of which was the clothing of the guards of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce.

The other is very similar to the killers that Shi Cheng and the three of them encountered before, and they belong to the force that designed and built this underground world.

"Shi Cheng, look at the innermost." Tie Mian patted Shi Cheng's back, Shi Cheng got up slightly, and looked in the direction where Tie Mian's finger was pointing, and then, Shi Cheng stood up completely in surprise, because he saw a face that he was all too familiar with.

It was Xu Fengshi's face, his eyes were wide open, his eyeballs were high and bulging, his face was gray, his hair was scattered, and there was a hole-like scar on his neck that went deep into his throat, and the blood stained the clothes on his upper body. Like all the corpses around him, Xu Fengshi had a look of horror and disbelief on his face, making his gray face look extremely hideous.

"He's dead, he's cheap." Iron Mask snorted coldly.

Shi Cheng took out a pair of tweezers from the storage bag he was carrying, and after examining the wounds of the nearest corpses, he took out a black projectile from the wound of one of the corpses.

"Judging by the condition of the wounds, these people should have been killed by the firecrackers." Shi Cheng said solemnly.

"Firebolt?" Iron Mask took a breath, "The person who killed them has a background in the military? ”

After many generations of improvements, the current high-end repeating guns that have undergone special modifications can already pose a non-negligible threat to monks, but due to the limited production capacity, this kind of firecracker is generally only the financial resources of the armies of various countries, and the projectiles fired by the bird guns used by ordinary hunters are still no different from the darts in the hands of ordinary warriors in the eyes of monks, and may not even be as accurate as the darts thrown by trained warriors.

"It's hard to say." Shi Cheng turned his head to look at Wu Neng, who was about to vomit out of the smell of blood behind him, and asked, "Old Wu, have you Yanmen ever produced a weapon similar to a fire gun?" ”

Wu Neng nodded, "I've heard Master say that our sect has firearms, but it is said that they are used in some defensive mechanisms, but until the night of the collapse of the sect, I have never seen the true face." ”

Wu Neng held his chin with his hand and recalled: "The head and master don't think much of the power of ordinary firecrackers, so I heard some senior brothers and sisters say that the sect has been researching a high-power firecracker that allows ordinary people to have the opportunity to threaten the monks, and seeks to mass-produce it, but this research should not be completed, otherwise on the day our Yanmen is destroyed, the elders will definitely distribute this weapon and beat those dog thieves crying and crying for their mother!" ”

Shi Cheng and Tie Mian looked at each other, it was the first time they had heard that Yanmen had actually tried to make such a magical weapon before it perished, it seemed that Yanmen was tight-lipped about the research and development of this new type of firecracker back then, and at most it was only revealed to the disciples within the sect.

Shi Cheng smacked his lips, squatted down again, undressed a corpse, and said to his companions behind him: "The wounds on these people are actually quite strange, each of them has more than one bullet wound. I know you may think that you were hit with a repeating firebolt, but Iron Mask, old Wu, you can take a closer look at the corpses on the right against the wall, the chests are all beaten into a hornet's nest, even with the repeating firebolts, it is impossible to beat people like this, unless there is a platoon of musketeers standing in front of these people, and then they all shoot at the target. ”

"You mean, someone hired a team of gunners to kill the mouth?" Iron Mask muttered, but then he shook his head and analyzed at length in a rare tirade, "It's still a little unreasonable, although these guards are not first-class masters, they won't be powerless to fight back against a team of gunslingers." I just checked the traces in all corners of the dungeon, and I didn't see any traces of the back-and-forth fighting between the two forces, it was more like a one-sided slaughter. ”

"One more point...... I think it's weird. "Judging by the expressions on these people's faces, it seems that they have seen something extremely terrifying, incredible, or beyond their common sense before they die...... What do you think...... If they just hired a team of gunners to kill them, would it scare them like this? ”

Shi Cheng pondered for a moment and asked Wu Neng: "Old Wu, you have seen all the mechanisms and building structures here along the way, can you be sure that it is Ling Xuan, the elder who rebelled against your Yanmen back then, who presided over the construction of this underground world?" This judgment is very important and related to the direction of the future investigation, so you should think about it. ”

Wu Neng frowned in distress, "What do you say...... Many of the mechanisms in the dungeon are very cleverly designed, but there are some low-level mistakes in some places...... But if it weren't for Ling Xuan, who else would build a ladder? ”

Shi Cheng thought about it for a while, and was about to say something, but suddenly heard heavy footsteps faintly outside the stone room.

Knock - Knock -

The faces of the three people changed, "Someone is coming!" ”
