Chapter 260 Underground Cave
As for the remaining three types, the blood corpse can be said to be the best to deal with. This thing is unrivaled in the eyes of ordinary people, but to Chen Ziyan, it is just that. .
The same goes for the blue-eyed fox corpse. Ordinary people who know its operating mechanism can handle it, let alone Chen Ziyan.
The last remaining Hydra cypress is really powerful. If there was no Tianxin Stone here, even Chen Ziyan would not dare to say that he could face it calmly, especially this is a Hydra cypress that far exceeds imagination.
But who said that there is a counterweight to Hydra Cypress like the Tianxin Stone here, so the threat is immediately reduced to a minimum.
The short conversation ended, and the two people continued to move downward, covering each other, but their speed was obviously slower than before.
For a time, in this empty underground, there was only the sound of two people moving, which made people feel a bit indescribable and depressing.
It's good that Chen Ziyan has confidence in his heart, but Hu Bayi is not as calm as him, and he will inevitably be affected in such an atmosphere.
Fortunately, the rest of the journey didn't take long, and they soon reached the bottom of the underground space.
When his feet landed on the stone slab on the ground, Hu Ba let out a breath of air.
Chen Ziyan didn't notice anything strange about Hu Bayi, or to be more precise, he didn't have the time to pay attention to it.
The first time he landed, Chen Ziyan’s entire attention was focused on the scene in front of him.
What appeared in front of them was a huge natural cave. The cold moonlight followed the cave they came down from, passed over the intricate branches and fell to the ground, vaguely outlining the outline of the entire cave.
With the help of the light of the flashlight, you can see that the cave wall is covered with dense holes. At a rough glance, there are thousands of them.
The density gave Chen Ziyan the feeling that many honeycombs were piled together and then enlarged in the same proportion.
That is to say, they don't have trypophobia, otherwise they would be dizzy by now.
The most shocking thing was the tree they came down from. Chen Ziyan felt that the tree was so thick that at least ten people would have to hug it to surround it.
"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid this tree must be as high as a ten-story building." Hu Bayi also slowed down and murmured, looking up at the giant tree.
I don’t blame him for his lack of knowledge, but he has never seen such a tree before.
"Just a little more." Chen Ziyan replied.
Then he looked at the countless vines on the tree. These vines were as thick as telephone poles, criss-crossing around the tree body and branches, and the slightly thinner branches spread to the cave wall next to it.
After taking a look at the environment, Chen Ziyan looked around him.
He is currently located directly under the tree canopy. The entire bottom of the cave is also a stone corridor, starting from a small building similar to a sacrificial altar and extending to the stone platform beside him.
"Is this the owner of the tomb?" Hu Bayi was also observing. When he saw the jade bed next to Chen Ziyan from far to near, he couldn't help but ask.
Because he just discovered that there were two people lying on it.
But as soon as the words came out, he denied the statement himself: "No, the owner of the tomb cannot be so careless."
He is familiar with the form of tombs, and he knows very well that the owner of the tomb cannot be so casual.
Chen Ziyan looked at the corpses beside him. They were a male corpse and a female corpse. The male corpse was wearing tight-fitting armor and a bronze fox mask on his face. He placed his hands on his chest. Protecting a purple gold box.
The female corpse was dressed in white gauze, and her peaceful face looked somewhat handsome.
But it doesn’t matter whether she is handsome or not. What is really important is that this female corpse shows no signs of decay. If you take a quick look, you might think that this person is sleeping.
"Master Chen, be careful!"
While Chen Ziyan was looking at the two corpses, Hu Bayi also came over, but as soon as he looked over, he suddenly pulled Chen Ziyan back a few steps.
Chen Ziyan was pulled by him like this, subconsciously holding the stick in front of him to protect himself, and looking around cautiously.
While making this move, he did not forget to ask: "Old Hu, what's the problem?"
He thought Hu Bayi had discovered something, so he wanted to ask clearly. Location, or more targeted prevention.
Hearing Chen Ziyan's question, Hu Bayi pointed at the male corpse on the jade bed, his tone full of caution: "There is something wrong with the corpse!"
"There is something wrong with the corpse?" Chen Ziyan felt like he knew something.
"That's right." Hu Ba nodded and said, "When I just looked over, I felt an uncomfortable feeling. When I looked carefully, I found that the eyes of the male corpse were open. Two green eyes were staring at me coldly. "
"Staring at you?" After hearing this, Chen Ziyan glanced at Hu Bayi first, and then looked at him after making sure that there was nothing wrong with him. Towards the male corpse.
He knew that this was the blue-eyed fox corpse, so it was normal that something was wrong. But after hearing Hu Bayi say that he saw the eyes of the blue-eyed fox corpse, Chen Ziyan was most worried that he was bewitched by the fox corpse.
You must know that the most intuitive ability of the blue-eyed fox corpse is to cast illusions through its eyes.
This is very similar to the little fairy's ability, but there should be some differences.
"Mr. Chen, do you know something?" Hu Bayi probably guessed something through Chen Ziyan's reaction.
Chen Ziyan nodded: "Seeing this bronze mask reminds me of some things I have heard before."
Then he looked at Hu Bayi and asked: "Old Hu, listen Did you say blue-eyed fox corpse? ”
"Blue-eyed fox corpse?" Hu Bayi repeated it, and after recalling it, he said: "I have heard the story of a blue-eyed fox corpse before. It is said to be a very evil rice dumpling, but I have never heard anyone say that they have seen it with their own eyes. "
Speaking of this, he looked at the male corpse on the jade bed: "I always thought of it as a story, but I didn't expect that such a strange thing really existed."
No need for Chen Ziyanming to say, he said. It is already known that this male corpse is probably the legendary blue-eyed fox corpse.
"This kind of rice dumplings are indeed rare." Chen Ziyan said in agreement, and then said: "Ordinary rice dumplings are rare, let alone this type of rice dumplings. This also shows one-sidedly that the Feng Shui of this place How special.”
Everything has its cause and effect. If you want to raise such rice dumplings, it’s not just any place.
While speaking, an idea suddenly came to Chen Ziyan's mind, that is, to bring back this blue-eyed fox corpse.
Hong Jie from Yerengou has proven that these special beings are good materials for making puppet armor, so it would be a pity for him to give up.
And through this blue-eyed fox corpse, he also thought of the blood corpse in the Qixing Lu Palace. That thing is also a top-quality material.
At the moment when these thoughts appeared, Chen Ziyan’s long-awaited system came online again.
【Ding! Choose to trigger! 】
[Option 1: Take the blue-eyed fox corpse away from Qixing Lu Palace. Reward: Kunlun Ancient Jade]
[Option 2: Take the thousand-year-old blood corpse away from the Qixing Lu Palace. Reward: Kunlun Ancient Jade】
Seeing this reward, Chen Ziyan blinked subconsciously. How to say it.
Slightly perfunctory.
It felt like it was given to him for free. As long as nothing went wrong, it was not difficult for him to take away these two rice dumplings.
However, considering the previous choices, Chen Ziyan felt that there was probably something wrong with it, but he couldn't figure it out yet.
Hu Bayi didn't know what Chen Ziyan was thinking. His thoughts were still on the topic just now. He thought for a while and said: "The Feng Shui here should be far more profound than it seems on the surface."
This is the answer he came up with after thinking, and it is also the only explanation.
Then Hu Bayi said: "Master Chen, it is said that this blue-eyed fox corpse has a curse ability. Are we..."
Although he didn't finish what he said, Chen Ziyan had already received what he wanted to express.
The implication is very clear, it is to avoid this place intentionally.
It's normal to think about it. Hu Bayi and the others still have a curse on them, and they definitely don't want to mess with another one.
"The term curse is to spread lies, and the ability of the blue-eyed fox corpse is not this." Chen Ziyan immediately explained.
He still wants to take the body back.
As long as he is successfully brought out of here, he will be rewarded, so that when he returns to the capital, he can directly make new puppet armor.
So it is necessary to overcome Hu Bayi's resistance.
"What about just now?" Although Hu Bayi trusted Chen Ziyan very much, he still couldn't help but ask when he thought of the terrifying exchange just now.
Chen Ziyan simply told him what he knew: "As far as I know, the ability of the blue-eyed fox corpse is to create illusions through its eyes. Of course, it does not rule out other abilities, but there is certainly no so-called curse ability. This is just a special rice dumpling, not so bad.”
Curse is something that comes from nowhere. The root of the red spot curse comes from the snake god.
"That's it." Chen Ziyan had already said this, so Hu Bayi naturally wouldn't say anything more.
After helping Hu Bayi get rid of the resistance in his heart, Chen Ziyan looked at the jade bed again.
As far as he knew, there were four most valuable things here, namely the purple gold box in the hands of the blue-eyed fox corpse in front of him, the unicorn on his belt, the real coffin hidden in the tree, and the female corpse. The corpse-fixing pill embedded in the key in the mouth.
Of course, there are differences in value here, but even the corpse-fixing pill with the lowest value is considered a priceless treasure outside.
After all, this is a treasure that allows the corpse to remain incorruptible for thousands of years even if it is exposed to the air.
After thinking over it in his mind, Chen Ziyan stretched the long stick in his hand slightly forward, lightly tapped the edge of the mask on the face of the blue-eyed fox corpse, and directly lifted it aside.
Hu Bayi naturally saw Chen Ziyan's movements, but he had no intention of stopping him and just stood on guard.
After all, this blue-eyed fox corpse is also a rice dumpling, so the appearance of the corpse is not a surprise.
However, what Hu Bayi was worried about did not appear until the bronze mask stopped shaking and the blue-eyed fox corpse did not move at all.
After the mask was peeled off, the true face of the blue-eyed fox corpse appeared in front of the two of them.
After looking at the weird fox-like face covered with fluff, Hu Bayi sighed with emotion: "The name is really correct. The first time I look at this thing, it reminds me of a fox."
"Be careful, don't look into his eyes." Chen Ziyan warned first, and then said: "Zongzi are generally like this, and most of the names are based on characteristics."
He felt that this way of naming Very good, after all, tomb robbing is not about reciting poems and making false claims, and you may pay the price of human life if you are pretentious.
"Yes, this is more intuitive." Hu Bayi also nodded, and then he looked at the bronze mask that fell next to him and said, "Mr. Chen, this mask should be put away now. Or should we talk about it later when we go back?”
Although Hu Bayi has not been studying antique appreciation for a long time, he also knows the value of this mask. He is just afraid of what Chen Ziyan will do next, so he asks this question. One sentence.
If you want to go deeper next time, wait until you get back to pick it up to avoid damage due to accidents.
After all, this thing must have been around for thousands of years. Even if it is made of metal, it should have become fragile.
You must know that in thousands of years, the sea can turn into mulberry fields, let alone such a bronze mask.
"Take it now." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.
Although he did have the idea of going in to take a look, it was better to put the mask away. Hu Bayi didn't know the situation here, and he still didn't know. Maybe something would happen at some point. So it's better to be prepared to run away at any time.
However, he took a look at the blue-eyed fox corpse and knew that he could only wait until he got back to explore this thing. He couldn't carry a rice dumpling on his back to explore.
Don’t say it in your heart, but it’s not safe either.
Who knows if this thing will suddenly come alive!
When Hu Bayi heard what Chen Ziyan said, he thought he was going to give up and continue exploring, so he took out a cloth bag from his backpack.
However, this cloth bag was not used to turn the bronze mask, but was covered by him on the face of the blue-eyed fox corpse.
Since he said he couldn't look into this thing's eyes, he might as well cover his entire face, because he wouldn't be able to see it.
As for Hu Bayi's methods, Chen Ziyan felt that they might be useful, provided that the blue-eyed fox corpse would not move.
Otherwise, what is the use of covering this thing.
Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Ziyan did not stop him. He also wanted to test the blue-eyed fox corpse in this way.
But as soon as this idea came up, Chen Ziyan saw that when Hu Bayi lowered his head to pick up the bronze mask, the blue-eyed fox corpse that had been lying quietly next to him sat up quietly and looked at He looked like he wanted to put his hand on Hu Bayi's shoulder.
There was no need to test it this time, as the result was that it had already escaped on its own.
While this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Ziyan's body reacted quickly, and the long stick in his hand went directly towards the blue-eyed fox corpse who stood up.
He was sure that he could sweep away this special rice dumpling before the blue-eyed fox corpse met Hu Bayi.
But before Chen Ziyan’s long stick arrived, Hu Bayi, who seemed unaware, suddenly dwarfed, and then clapped the engineer shovel behind him without looking back. On the head of the blue-eyed fox corpse.
The moment the engineer shovel fell, Hu Bayi's body rushed to the side, trying to distance himself.
At the same time as he rushed out, Chen Ziyan's attack had also arrived. The blue-eyed fox corpse that had just been photographed was suddenly swept aside by the long stick and rolled several times before coming to rest.
