Chapter 261 Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse
The moment the blue-eyed fox corpse landed, Hu Bayi had taken advantage of this opportunity to successfully distance himself, turned around and protected the engineer shovel in front of him, and looked at the blue-eyed fox corpse warily.
Chen Ziyan took two steps forward and stood in front of Hu Bayi, pointing his long stick at the motionless blue-eyed fox corpse.
If he hadn't wanted to take this thing back, he would have gone up to make a touch up by now.
After all, it is generally better for enemies to die.
After waiting for two minutes, I saw that the blue-eyed fox corpse seemed to be dead, still lying there in an awkward posture and motionless.
Hu Bayi wanted to step forward and strike a blow to prevent this thing from causing further trouble later. He didn't want to have to guard his back at a critical moment.
That would be too passive.
But as soon as he made a move, he was stopped by Chen Ziyan, who had been paying attention to him.
Comparing his feelings with his own, Chen Ziyan felt that although Hu Bayi had different personalities from his own, they would probably make the same choice after identifying the enemy.
The fact was not beyond his expectation. After Hu Bayi reacted, he immediately chose to perform a last-ditch attack.
After being stopped by Chen Ziyan, Hu Bayi looked at him in confusion: "Master Chen, what is this?"
As if Chen Ziyan knew what Hu Bayi would do, Hu Bayi Ichiya could also guess a bit of Chen Ziyan's thoughts, so he went to get to know the blue-eyed fox corpse without asking.
Because he felt that the two of them would make the same choice.
Chen Ziyan knew that Hu Bayi would have doubts, so he did not hide it from him and said: "I am very interested in this blue-eyed fox corpse and want to take it back to study it."
However, explanations are explanations, but he did not tell the truth. Some things were better not to be revealed unless necessary.
“That’s right, that’s okay.” Hu Bayi didn’t think much about it.
This is not the first time this has happened. The same thing happened to Hong Jian last time. It’s just that he didn’t know where Chen Ziyan got him.
Thinking of Hong Jian, who had disappeared before returning to the capital, Hu Ba suddenly noticed that something was wrong, but the current situation did not allow him to think about it in detail, so he asked the question without thinking too much. Forgot.
Chen Ziyan ignored what Hu Bayi was thinking. He pretended to take out the corpse net from his backpack, but actually took it out of his carry-on space, and directly covered the blue-eyed fox corpse on the ground.
The moment the corpse net fell, the blue-eyed fox corpse seemed to feel something, and subconsciously wanted to struggle, but when the corpse net fell, the half-destructive struggle disappeared instantly.
When Chen Ziyan saw this, he walked over and turned the blue-eyed fox corpse over with a long stick, wrapping the whole body in the corpse net.
Then he took out a bundle of climbing ropes and tied the blue-eyed fox corpse together with the corpse net tightly.
Then Chen Ziyan grabbed the hanging vine beside him and directly hung the balled blue-eyed fox corpse on it.
There is no way to take this ‘trophy’ with you for the time being, so you have to find a suitable place to store it, and looking at the entire underground cave, there is no place more suitable than Hydra Cypress.
As for whether such teasing would cause Hydra Bai to attack, Chen Ziyan was not worried at all.
He was not sure about the stone corridor in the distance, but the material used in the stone platform was exactly the Tianxin Stone they were looking for.
The reason that made Chen Ziyan make this judgment was that there was no movement at all from Hydra Cypress when they came down this road.
As far as he knew, Hydra Kashiwa would hunt according to vibrations, and the noise they made along the way was not big, but definitely not small, so the reason why they did not attack was very simple. There is something here that suppresses Hydra Cypress.
As for the thing that could suppress Hydra Cypress, he only knew the Tianxin Stone, so he came to this conclusion.
Hu Bayi had been watching Chen Ziyan from the side. He waited until he hung the whole blue-eyed fox corpse on the vine, then asked: "Master Chen, what should we do next?"
He didn't know What I'm looking for is right in front of me, so I'm still thinking about where to find the Tianxin Stone.
But he had only heard of this thing and had no idea what it looked like, so he wanted to ask Chen Ziyan.
Hu Bayi felt that since Chen Ziyan proposed to come here, he should be able to get to know Tianxinshi.
Chen Ziyan did not follow Hu Bayi's words, but went back and picked up the purple gold box where the blue-eyed fox corpse was left, and said, "Let's get the key first."
< br>
"Key?" Hu Bayi glanced at the purple gold box and subconsciously looked at the surroundings.
The keyhole on this thing is so obvious, he naturally knows that he needs a key to open it, but it is almost clear at a glance, but he can't see where anything is hidden.
"On the female corpse." Chen Ziyan directly answered.
Hearing this, Hu Bayi immediately looked at the female corpse still lying on the spot and asked: "This female corpse shows no sign of decay in such an environment. Could it be that she is also a rice dumpling?"< br>
With the blue-eyed fox corpse here as a warning, he had reason to suspect that it was also an evil thing.
"It's not that, it's just a container." Chen Ziyan said and walked to the female body.
After helping the female corpse sit up with one hand, Chen Ziyan tilted the female corpse's head forward slightly, then put his thumb on the other person's throat, and then tapped it gently, and a key was released from it. It fell out of his mouth.
The moment the key fell, thin needles as thick as cow hairs shot out from the abdomen of the female corpse at lightning speed. If someone was standing in front, it is estimated that there would be no death in this round. It's almost the same as a hornet's nest.
Because he was standing nearby, Hu Bayi could see it more clearly and couldn't help but sigh: "Such a trap is really hard to guard against."
This is definitely a sentiment. Fat, because he didn't find any clues just now.
"This is for those who know the ropes," Chen Ziyan said.
When most experts see this kind of corpse, the first thing they think of is the corpse-fixing pill. However, such an extremely precious thing as the corpse-fixing pill can only be enjoyed by the great nobles in ancient times.
No one would easily tamper with the corpse of a noble, which makes people subconsciously think that the corpse will not have mechanisms.
Under such circumstances, if you use the conventional method to take the elixir, you will undoubtedly face those fine needles head-on, so Chen Ziyan said that this was prepared for experts.
Hu Bayi could understand what Chen Ziyan meant. After thinking about it, he realized that there was nothing wrong with this guess. He would probably do the same thing if he did it.
After all, the only danger to the body of a noble tomb owner is corpse transformation. Naturally, this can be prevented.
Putting the decaying female body back, Chen Zi extended his hand to pick up the key that fell to the ground.
This is a bronze key half a finger long, with a dark green bead inlaid at the end. Not surprisingly, this bead is the Death Pill.
But we cannot rule out the possibility that the bronze key has a role. After all, some materials in this world have equally strange abilities.
Did not choose to open the purple gold box here. After playing with the key for a while, Chen Ziyan put both items into his personal space.
Although it looked calm now, he had a feeling that a storm was coming, so it would be better to open this thing after returning.
Bang——
At this moment, the sound of falling metal sounded in my ears. Knowing that something was going on, Chen Ziyan quickly turned his head and saw Hu Bayi, who was just standing aside, with his feet off the ground and being dragged upwards, with a vine tightly wrapped around his neck.
The sound just now was caused by the engineering shovel falling.
Without thinking, Chen Ziyan had a short arrow in his hand, and then he raised his hand and threw the short arrow out. The short arrow passed through the vines above Hu Bayi's head and nailed him directly to the tree behind him.
While the short arrow was nailing the vine, Chen Ziyan had already stepped forward. A broken knife appeared in his free hand, and he stepped directly up the thick tree body and cut it. The vines entangling Hu Bayi were cut off.
Bang——
After Hu Bayi fell to the ground, Chen Ziyan also returned to the ground at the same time.
He quickly went over to help Hu Bayi up, and while retreating towards the jade bed, he asked: "Old Hu, what happened just now?"
Until now, Chen Ziyan still hasn't figured out what is going on.
Because according to his estimation, the area they were in was made of Tianxin Stone, so there was no reason that Hydra would attack them.
"I...don't know, cough...I was standing there just now, and suddenly the vines got wrapped around my neck." Hu Bayi said, coughing.
This attack was too secretive and sudden, leaving him without any defense. He could only subconsciously grab the vines with his hands to prevent his neck from being strangled directly.
When Chen Ziyan heard this, he quickly looked around, but the vines hanging down from the trees did not move at all, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
This is also extremely unreasonable, because the Hydra Cypress has no wisdom at all, even if it is a Hydra Cypress that is thousands of years old or even older.
So this means that if Hydra Cypress wants to attack, it will be continuous and will not be tentative.
Could it be... a warning?
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and Chen Ziyan thought of this unrealistic possibility.
If it was a warning, then who was warning me?
Although this idea was very unrealistic, Chen Ziyan still tried to think about it without any other ideas.
Soon, he locked on a target.
King Mu of Zhou.
He knew that the owner of Qixing Lu Palace was also suspected, and King Lu Shang and Tie Miansheng were also suspected. However, since he came out from Sheng Ji's place, Chen Ziyan felt that King Zhou Mu was not dead, so he He was the first thing that came to my mind.
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan had an extra seal in his hand, which was exactly the one he got in Longling Temple.
Hu Bayi also recovered at this moment. When he saw Chen Ziyan taking out the ghost seal, he asked in confusion: "Master Chen, why did you take this thing out?"
Chen Ziyan did not answer. Instead, he said: "Old Hu, try to get two bricks out of here."
"Okay." Hu Ba didn't ask much when he saw this. He knew Chen Ziyan's freedom of doing things. In this case There must be a reason for the order.
Although the craftsmanship of this stone platform is very exquisite, after all, it has been tempered for so long, and with the help of tools, Hu Bayi quickly removed two floor tiles from under his feet. .
"Could this be the Tianxin Stone?" Hu Bayi suddenly asked after taking the floor tiles in his hand and looking at them.
The bricks were just under the feet, and the outside was covered with a layer of dust, so nothing could be seen at all.
But after holding it in his hand and seeing other sides of the floor tiles, Hu Bayi almost subconsciously came up with this idea.
Nothing else, it’s just that the texture of the floor tiles is too fine.
"Probably." Chen Ziyan nodded.
"Then let's go home now?" Hu Bayi continued to ask.
Now that he has obtained the Tianxin Stone, he feels that there is no need to continue. The preparation for this trip is a bit insufficient and is not suitable for further exploration.
"Let's go, but I have to do an experiment first." As Chen Ziyan spoke, he had already tied the blue-eyed fox corpse hanging on the tree behind him.
At the same time as his voice fell, the Guixi held in his hand suddenly printed towards the ground.
"Master Chen...what are you doing?" Hu Bayi was confused and couldn't figure out what Chen Ziyan was doing.
Although the origin of the seal is mysterious, its current usage is somewhat mysterious.
Chen Ziyan did not reply, but tried his best to listen to what was going on around him.
He is actually not sure if this will work. After all, he doesn't know if this ghost seal is useful. This is just an attempt.
But the next moment, not only Chen Ziyan heard the sound, but also Hu Bayi also heard the rustling noise.
These sounds were so densely packed that they seemed to be coming from all directions, making it impossible to tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
Not to mention Chen Ziyan who was more alert now, even Hu Bayi looked around with vigilance.
While Hu Bayi was observing, he also did not forget to stuff the floor tiles he had just removed into his backpack.
“Let’s go.”
As the rustling sounds became more and more intense, Chen Ziyan knew that he could not stay any longer, so he immediately called out to Hu Bayi and climbed up with the help of vines. go.
Hu Bayi was also unambiguous and followed Chen Ziyan step by step.
The two people climbed up as fast as when they came down, and quickly climbed out about ten meters.
"Master Chen, could this really be caused by the seal?" Hu Bayi asked as he climbed.
What he wants to know most now is this matter. It feels a bit unrealistic no matter how he thinks about it, but other than that, he really can't find any other possibility. It can't be a coincidence.
If it were just a coincidence, why would I not come here earlier to have fun, but why would I just rush to the place where the seal falls?
“I don’t know either.” Chen Ziyan was also a little confused.
It should be true that the Ghost Seal is useful, but he doesn't know how to use it specifically. He just wanted to try this thing to see if it can be used like the Tianguan Seal.
If it works, let's try my previous guess.
But now that he has really reacted, he is still a little unsure.
Thinking this in his heart, Chen Ziyan glanced down subconsciously, and then his climbing movement stopped instantly.
