"Oh!"
Zhang Qiling followed Chen Ze and lifted the body up.
Zhang Qiling glanced at Chen Ze worriedly, because Zhang Qiling found that Chen Ze was shaking at the moment.
"Brother Chen, are you okay?" Zhang Qiling couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, walk faster. It's getting dark and the mountain road is not easy to walk at night. We must try our best to hurry!"
Zhang Qiling quickened his pace after hearing this. Chen Ze was very fast, so Zhang Qiling had no choice but to use all his strength to catch up with Chen Ze.
Zhang Qiling followed Chen Ze into the woods. The woods were pitch dark and he couldn't see his fingers. But Chen Ze was used to this, but Chen Ze was now afraid of the dark because Chen Ze thought of his sister.
“Hiss~” Zhang Qiling suddenly gasped.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Ze asked.
"Snake, there is a snake here, I stepped on it!" Zhang Qiling said hurriedly.
Chen Ze stopped and took out his flashlight to shine around.
Sure enough, I saw two or three venomous snakes as thick as arms wandering in the grass.
"What should I do?" Zhang Qiling was so scared that he didn't dare to get close because those snakes
were all reddish-brown.
"Wait for me for a while, I'll get some fire." After saying that, Chen Ze ran towards another big tree.
Chen Ze took out his dagger and cut the nearby weeds, then took out his lighter and lit the weeds.
The smoke generated by the burning weeds dispersed some of the snakes. Chen Ze continued to cut the grass with a dagger and stopped after cutting more than 20 grasses.
"These flames will attract the attention of the snakes. I will drive them away later. You get out of here quickly." Chen Ze said to Zhang Qiling.
"No, Brother Chen, you stay alone and we retreat together." Zhang Qiling refused.
"I don't need help, please leave quickly. I don't like to owe others." Chen Ze urged.
Seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, Zhang Qiling had no choice but to escape alone.
After Zhang Qiling ran away, Chen Ze picked up a tree root and stood still. A few seconds passed, and the poisonous snakes that had been hiding emerged one after another and crawled towards Chen Ze.
These poisonous snakes are very greedy. They pounced on him after smelling the scent, opened their ferocious fangs and bit Chen Ze.
At this critical moment, Chen Ze suddenly shouted: "You beast, don't punish me yet!"
The roar shook the mountains and fields, and even the snow on the trees fell rustlingly.
Those poisonous snakes were instantly frightened and fled in panic.
Seeing this, Chen Ze ignored them and looked down at the mummy carefully.
"Strange, why doesn't this body seem to have been poisoned?" Chen Ze asked confused.
The fishy smell just now should be emanating from this corpse.
"Brother Chen, are you okay?" Zhang Qiling turned back.
"Why are you back again?" Chen Ze asked.
"This...this...Zhang Qiling hesitated, hesitating to speak.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ze wondered, something was obviously wrong with Zhang Qiling's appearance.
"I'm afraid..." Zhang Qiling stammered in reply.
"What are you afraid of?" Chen Ze was puzzled. He was not a snake, so what was there to be afraid of? Besides, Chen Ze had fire. These snakes should be afraid of fire
"They... they..." Zhang Qiling couldn't explain clearly.
“Aren’t they just little snakes? You see, they are not yet adults. They are probably kept as pets. You don’t have to be afraid, I will take care of it.” Chen Ze comforted.
Zhang Qiling wanted to say something else, but Chen Ze had already turned around to deal with the poisonous snake, so Zhang Qiling had to stay next to Chen Ze obediently.
But what Zhang Qiling didn't know was that the poisonous snakes that were scared away by Chen Ze were not scared away by Chen Ze's momentum, but because Chen Ze took out the matches. In this world, no one understands fire better than Chen Ze. In order to save Ye Yan, Chen Ze was almost killed by a poisonous snake. Fortunately, Chen Ze responded in time and narrowly escaped death.
And Chen Ze also used snake gall to make mosquito repellent water. These mosquito repellent waters are not simple. One drop of mosquito repellent water can be worth more than half a bottle of liquor, which also makes Chen Ze's physique extremely strong.
But Chen Ze didn't know it, he just felt that he was getting more and more keen now.
“Hiss——” Chen Ze threw the flame on his hand towards the body on the ground.
The flames touched the clothes of the mummy, and a burst of smoke suddenly appeared.
Chen Ze saw the change in the expression of the corpse and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so disgusting!"
Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling took a few steps back to avoid the stench of the corpse. Smoked?
Soon after, the body slowly decomposed, revealing the white bones inside.
"Brother Chen, why do you think these mummies were buried? Who is so unconscionable!" Zhang Qiling asked curiously even though he was scared.
“I guess someone was not satisfied with the status quo of these mummies being buried, so they dug them out and buried them.” Chen Ze speculated.
“Didn’t you say it would be buried in the ground?” Zhang Qiling asked doubtfully.
"Those are superstitions. There will definitely be tombstones in real Feng Shui caves." Chen Ze said.
"Well, I heard my master say that." Zhang Qiling nodded.
Chen Ze squatted down and checked.
"Brother Chen, let me help you!" Zhang Qiling offered.
Chen Ze shook his head, "You are not suitable to touch these things, so let me do it."
Chen Ze took out a knife from his pocket and removed the rotten flesh from the mummy, and then Put it in the backpack, and throw away all the internal organs of the mummy.
It is impossible for Chen Ze to eat this kind of thing. Even if Chen Ze can't die from eating it, it will be a big deal.
Chen Ze checked the thousand corpses and found a sharp knife stuck in the chest of the mummy. Chen Ze took out the blade and took a look.
There are still blood stains on the handle of the knife.
"What is this knife used for?" Chen Ze asked curiously.
“I don’t know.” Zhang Qiling shook his head.
Chen Ze didn't bother to ask anymore, put the mummy back into the pit, and then left with Zhang Qiling.
Chen Ze didn’t know that just after he left, there were many fresh pieces of meat under the pile of dead bones, and even the bones had grown out.
The two continued to move forward. Chen Ze observed the surrounding environment from time to time, and at the same time kept the surrounding scenes in his mind. This will be important information for Chen Ze to solve the case and find clues in the future.
Finally, Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling encountered a fork in the road and didn't know which way led to the village.
"Brother Chen, how to choose?" Zhang Qiling looked at Chen Ze.
Chen Ze frowned and thought, this place was a bit weird.
Chen Ze looked around and said, "This location looks like the Bagua Diagram. Why don't we go to the Bagua Diagram? Let's go around to the back and come back."
Zhang Qiling nodded.
In the end, Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling chose the road on the left because there were no forks in that road and it was relatively spacious.
After walking a certain distance, Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling found some corpses, including those of humans, dogs, pigs, cats and other animals.
"Look! It looks like a cemetery there!" Zhang Qiling shouted in surprise.
Chen Ze also saw that there was indeed a cemetery under this hillside, and many animals and plants died here.
“Is this a mass grave?” Chen Ze muttered to himself.
This is a cemetery. Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling did not dare to wander around, so they rested in place and replenished food and drinking water.
Chen Ze took out his telescope and observed the cemetery, hoping to find some clues. (End of chapter)
