The missing person is Li Sanqi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This disciple of the Qinghe Sect in his early thirties had only been with everyone for five days before he mysteriously disappeared from everyone's sight.

The first to find out that Li Sanqi was missing was Zhang Nan, and among the people who came to Yunwuze this time, he had the best relationship with Li Sanqi. The others, though they took turns to keep vigil, did not notice the fact that there was one person missing.

When Qiu Zhe was woken up, Zhou Fanghe was already arranging for everyone to find someone separately. It took more than an hour for Luo Zhenglong to find Li Sanqi in a swamp.

To be precise, what he found was Li Sanqi's body.

A dried corpse with nothing but skin and bones left.

The first time he saw the dried corpse, Qiu Zhe inexplicably remembered Homer, who died in that villa.

It's just that Li Sanqi is a little better, at least there is still a layer of skin, and he can barely see a little human form. Coupled with the clothes on the body, people can still distinguish their identity.

Miss Lu was already retching on the sidelines, obviously the first time she had seen such a disgusting thing, Zhang Nan stood beside her and whispered comfort.

The others didn't react much, they were all well-informed, and they didn't overreact except for a little surprise.

The originally joyful journey suddenly caused a fatality, which cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.

"How is it, has the cause of death been found?" Zhou Fanghe asked.

The person in charge of the autopsy was Guan Hu, but he didn't expect that this strong man with five big and three thick was actually a medical student.

"There were no other wounds on the body other than a bite on the throat. Guan Hu wore gloves and replied while examining the corpse: "It seems that he should have been sucked dry of blood and died." ”

Everyone was silent, and from time to time there was a sound of gasping cold air: a big living person was sucked alive and died, this kind of death makes people shudder when they think about it.

Zhou Fanghe's eyes flashed: "Are you sure?"

Guan Hu nodded and said, "Sure, it's really strange, what blood-sucking monsters can be around here?"

"Could it be a vampire vine?" Xie Youde muttered, and then denied his thoughts: "No, if it is a vampire vine, there should be traces of needles on the body, not in the throat." ”

The Roche brothers searched around, but found no clues, and ran back in despair.

Zhou Fanghe said: "Since there are no clues, let's leave it alone." The top priority is to find the place where the snake demon rests as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. This cloud and mist is dangerous and abnormal, and everyone must cheer up for the next trip. From today, the nightly vigil will be increased to three people. ”

Li Sanqi's body was cremated, and the Luo brothers dug a pit in the mountain and buried the ashes in it.

Qiu Zhe thought about it, and asked Shi Sheng to chop a piece of wood and make it into the shape of a tombstone, on which Li Sanqi's name and identity were engraved with a knife, and inserted in front of the grave.

He picked some wild flowers from the mountains, and Shi Sheng took some dried meat and put them together in front of the grave.

People die greatly, although he has hardly spoken to Li Sanqi, but it is just a gesture that can give the deceased more dignity, and Qiu Zhe is still willing to do it.

Seeing Qiu Zhe's actions, a strange light flashed in Xie Youde's eyes, and then disappeared.

The rest of the trip was much more difficult than the previous days. Because it is inaccessible, there are few formed roads in the clouds. Along the way, everyone overcame all obstacles, and at the end of the day, they only walked half of yesterday's road.

The hot and humid weather in the swamp has caused mosquitoes to run wild, which has become a more headache than the road conditions.

Thanks to Shi Sheng's guide, his familiarity with Yunwuze surprised everyone, and he was always in a desperate situation, finding a path that others couldn't find. He also collected some unknown herbs from the woods, and when lit, they had a miraculous effect on repelling mosquitoes.

Approaching dusk, everyone arrived at a valley under the leadership of Shi Sheng.

The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, only the west side leads to the marsh, the valley is covered with pine trees, and in the middle of the valley, there is a stream with crystal clear water, and you can even see fish and shrimp growing in it.

Compared to the sweltering heat and humidity outside, the climate in this valley is like a different world, which makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Shi Sheng led them to the rocks by the stream, and said in a muffled voice, "Let's spend the night here tonight." ”

Guan Hu and Zhang Nan helped make a fire, and Shi Sheng led the Luo brothers to hunt. Qiu Zhe had nothing to do, and squatted by the stream for a while.

A hand suddenly stretched out from behind and patted him on the shoulder: "Qiu Zhe, are you interested in killing two games of chess?"

When he looked back, he found that it was Xie Youde, and he couldn't tell that this guy was actually a chess fan.

Qiu Zhe was stunned for a moment: "How can you kill without chess tools?"

Xie Youde proudly took out a wooden box from his bag: "You don't have it, I have it." ”

The wooden box is spread out from the middle, and the two halves are put together to form a chessboard, and the box contains a full set of chess pieces.

The two found a flat rock, put the chessboard on it, and began the contest between the Chu River and the Han Realm.

Qiu Zhe's chess skills are average, but fortunately, Xie Youde is not a master, and the two stinky chess baskets got together, but they also played a good match.

Xie Youde asked him as he walked, "How old are you this year?"

Qiu Zhe replied, "Twenty." ”

Xie Youde said with emotion: "It's really a good age, when I was your age, I was still a little hairy man who didn't know anything, and it was almost thirty years in a blink of an eye." ”

As if thinking of something, Xie Youde was stunned for a while holding the chess pieces, and Qiu Zhe had to remind him: "Brother, it's time for you to go." ”

Xie Youde reacted at this time, said sorry, and put down the chess pieces in his hand.

Qiu Zhe followed a move, Xie Youde suddenly lowered his voice, and said to him with a little regret: "Little brother, how could you get involved in this kind of thing. ”

"Huh?" Qiu Zhe was slightly stunned, making sure that Xie Youde was talking to himself, and couldn't help but say, "What do you mean?"

Xie Youde looked around and found that he hadn't noticed them, so he whispered: "Killing the snake demon is extremely dangerous, and if you don't do it well, you will die." Li Sanqi is the best example, if you don't want to die, I advise you to take advantage of the early withdrawal, it's not too deep here, it's still too late to turn back. ”

Qiu Zhe was very surprised by Xie Youde's statement: "Didn't we come here to eliminate the hidden danger of Jiaojiao, I saw that your brother was very impassioned that night, why did you change your words now?"

Xie Youde said: "Hmph, everyone will say beautiful words on their lips, do you think that so many people come to Yunwuze to take risks, and they really want to eliminate harm for the people? Then you are very wrong." ”

"The so-called no profit is not early, everyone here has a skill, there is really a flood can be gone, what does it have to do with them? Their purpose is nothing more than for Xuanzhu Zhu. ”

Qiu Zhe said: "Xuanzhu Zhu?"

Xie Youde said: "The god of grains is immortal, it is for Xuanyi, and the gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth." When the demon cultivates into refinement, the blood and qi of the whole body condenses and the true yuan gathers, and the inner pill will be formed. This inner pill is the Xuanqi Pearl, which contains the essence of demon cultivation. As long as you take the Fa properly, one can withstand decades of hard work. ”

"These people say it well, what is to eliminate harm for the people, in fact, it is the idea of Xuan Zhuzhu. Lao Zhou is familiar with this kind of thing, and he is the best at it. Just be honest with you, coax them to explore the way. I really found the snake demon when I turned around, you are also leisurely, you don't contribute to the work, so many people, no matter what monster it is, you can kill it, it's not bad for your ability. ”

Qiu Zhe was really shocked at this moment, seeing that Xie Youde didn't look like he was lying, he couldn't help but ask, "Then your brother is also here for Xuanzhu Zhu?"

Xie Youde said: "I have self-knowledge, we have this ability, how can Xuan Zhu not be able to turn." However, the snake demon has practiced for thousands of years, and his whole body is a treasure, and he can't share the Xuanzhu beads, and it is also good to share some snake blood, snake meat and even snake skin, these are all rare treasures. ”

Qiu Zhe didn't expect Xie Youde to say such a thing, and he was stunned for a while, and finally held back a sentence: "Aren't you tired of living?"

"Isn't this how to be a man," Xie Youde said confidently: "If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." ”
