Chapter 426 Everything is weird


As a race that worships the abyss extremely, the Evil Luohai people did not start yearning for the endless abyss only after plundering the power of the snake god.

They already had this custom a long time ago.

This can be seen from the style of this ancient city. Although there is an eyeball symbol at the highest point, the real core of the ancient city is at the deepest level.

However, it is not easy to go deep into the ancient city. It is even more difficult than finding the highest point.

After all, if you want to get to the commanding heights, you can just climb up the neat buildings even if there is no road.

But if you want to get into the depths of the ancient city, it’s really hard to do without a road.

Especially as it gets darker as you go down, even without the weird wisps of fog, it would be easy to get lost.

"How should we get down?" Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, Shirley Yang next to him suddenly asked.

Although she was not as comprehensive as Chen Ziyan thought, she also saw that it was not that easy to do this.

“Although this city looks very symmetrical, I think there should be a very slight tilt angle. For example, the street in front of us, although it feels flat when standing on it, is actually It slopes downward. If we can find the right path, we can get in." Chen Ziyan said after thinking for a while.

Although he was deeply impressed by Erluohai City, his understanding was very general, but he still knew some basic architectural knowledge.

He didn't think that there would be special portals between each floor of this ancient city, so he thought of this answer.

Hu Bayi agreed with this and said: "I think Master Chen's words are reasonable. As long as we find the right path, we can find the altar."

"Old Hu, how do we find this way?" Wang Kaixuan asked from the side.

He was not questioning what Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi said, but simply wanted to know what to do next.

You can't just touch your upper lip to your lower lip and let it happen by itself.

That’s not adventure, that’s dreaming.

"Continue to search in these houses. Everything in this city remains the same, which means there must be clues left." Chen Ziyan answered him helpfully.

This is the only way he can come up with. Their familiarity with Erluohai City is limited. Although it cannot be said that they are blind, it is not much different.

When the others heard what Chen Ziyan said, they also nodded.

They also all know that there is no other better way now, and the safest thing is to search nearby.

No one knows the specific situation here now, so when exploring, safety must be the first prerequisite.

After making the decision, the group continued to explore the passing houses one by one.

The layout of these houses are basically the same, so after getting familiar with them, the progress will become faster.

After they just entered a new house, Wang Kaixuan, who was the first to enter, suddenly let out a light sigh, sniffing like a hound that smelled the scent of a rabbit, and said:

"What smells so good? It smells like beef stew. This really tickles the fat man's itch!"

After being busy for so long, he was already empty in his stomach, and suddenly Smelling such a strong aroma of meat, the glutton in my stomach was immediately teased.

In fact, there was no need for the fat man to remind him. Everyone else also smelled the attractive aroma after entering the door.

“Let’s go and take a look.” Chen Ziyan sniffed and raised his eyebrows subtly.

Although he knew that this scene was in the original plot, he didn't want to encounter it now.

Wang Kaixuan agreed with this proposal with both hands and feet, and immediately followed the smell of meat towards the source. When he entered the next room, he saw that there was actually a pot of cooked yak meat in the stone cauldron inside. .

The flames are burning under the stone cauldron, and the steam is gurgling on the stone cauldron. It is really fragrant and delicious, and the five flavors are harmonious.

Seeing the delicious and delicious beef stew, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said: "My dear, this is simply a tempting crime. Could it be specially prepared for us?"

Although they carry plenty of supplies, those things cannot be compared to this.

Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at this guy: "What are you thinking about? Regardless of who this is prepared for, you can't eat it, okay?"

After finishing speaking, Hu Bayi looked at the beef stew in front of him with twinkling eyes. In such a strange ancient city, it was really difficult to guess with common sense that such a pot of freshly cooked beef stew suddenly appeared.

He couldn't help but think of the deception he encountered when he was in Ganggang Yingzi, in the Niuxin Mountain with nine dragons covering the jade lotus.

It’s hard to say that the fragrant pot of stew in front of you is actually made of gravel and rotten meat.

Although the others were also a little hungry, they all knew that on such an occasion, food of unknown origin must not be eaten, so they remained silent.

Moo——

At this moment, a cow's cry suddenly came from the depths of the cave house.

This cow moo immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from.

The cry of yak is not uncommon here, but hearing it here, especially when there is a steaming pot of beef stew in front of you, the feeling is as weird as possible!

Chen Ziyan winked at the others, asking them to get ready, and then waved to Wushuanggui and Huahu behind him.

The two puppet armors immediately stepped towards the depths of the cave house. Wushuang Ghost rushed forward menacingly, and Huahu was one step behind him, preparing to respond.

When Wang Kaixuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Dear me, you can't fucking arm-wrestle with that striped dragon."

Although he didn't stand in front of the Wushuang Ghost, he could still Seeing how terrifying the indomitable momentum of the Wushuang Ghost at this moment was, Wang Kaixuan felt that the Wushuang Ghost now was like a galloping car.

No one paid any attention to Wang Kaixuan, because after the two puppet armors started charging, they quickly followed behind with weapons in hand.

There is a thick stone door deep in the cave house, but in front of Wushuang Ghost, this stone door is just a decoration, and it does not stop the footsteps for even three seconds.

"Master Chen, look!" Chen Ziyan planned to follow up and take a look after Wushuang Ghost knocked open the stone door.

But before he could enter, he was grabbed by Hu Bayi.

Looking in the direction Hu Bayi pointed, Chen Ziyan saw a distinct bloody handprint on the crooked stone door.

In addition to the bloody handprint, the entire stone door was coated with a sticky substance, making the stone door look slippery.

Chen Ziyan clearly saw that there was still blood flowing underneath the bloody handprint on the stone door. Obviously the blood on it was still very fresh.

After his eyes stayed on the stone gate for a while, Chen Ziyan said to Hu Bayi: "We'll talk about it later. Let's go in and take a look first."

Then he took the lead and walked into the stone gate, and the first thing he saw inside was It's all red.

Except for Wushuanggui and Huahu, who came in first, there are no other people here.

But compared to this, Chen Ziyan and the others were more concerned about the dripping blood on the surrounding walls.

In the center of this house is a stone table. In addition to the same bright red blood stains, there is also a pile of fresh yak meat. There are several bloody cowhide on the wooden pile next to it.

It can be clearly seen that the yak hides are still steaming, as if they had just been peeled off the cow. This place is like a slaughterhouse hidden in the house.

After seeing what was going on here, the others were okay. Although they felt a little short of breath, they were all well-informed people and could bear it.

On the other hand, Wang Kaixuan, who is usually the boldest, felt a little nauseous. He was very glad that he didn't really eat the beef stew, otherwise he would have to vomit it all out.

At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly felt like there was something above his head. When he raised his head, he saw a cow's head that was two or three times larger than an ordinary yak hanging upside down.

The cow has no skin on its head, and its flesh and blood are completely exposed. It looks bloody, but its eyes are wide open, its two huge nostrils are still breathing, and most of the cow's tongue is spitting out. When Chen Ziyan looked over, he let out a heavy groan at him!

Eyes——

This muffled groan attracted the attention of others. When they saw such a terrifying but vivid bull head, they didn't know what to say for a while.

A cow head that has no skin but can still make sounds is exactly like a scene from a horror story!

After a short silence, Shirley Yang said: "It is an extremely ancient custom to peel off the skin of the yak while it is still alive and then slaughter it. It symbolizes the release of the soul first, so that the body can You can use it with confidence."

After being stunned for a while, she suddenly thought of the information she saw in the reincarnation sect's information, and said it out.

But what Shirley Yang didn't know was that this was actually an ancient custom that was not passed down even by the Reincarnation Sect.

After turning his attention away from the cow's head, Chen Ziyan discovered that there was not only one cow's head on it, but a large wooden fence next to it. The wooden fence could be freely expanded and retracted in the front, back, left, and right. This yak was just right. It was caught in it, so it looked like it had only one head.

After Chen Ziyan saw the wooden fence, he thought the cow head in front of him would make a sound because it had only been skinned and was not actually fatally injured.

But after he saw the situation inside the wooden fence clearly, he knew that he had thought wrong, because under the light of the searchlight, he could clearly see that the yak's body was indeed trapped in the wooden fence. But the chest of this big guy was so empty, and there was a heavy ax stuck between the bull's head and its body.

Just looking at the depth of the heavy ax's chop, you can tell that there are not many connecting parts between the bull's head and its body.

Continuing to look upward, I found that there was still a rope hanging on the cow's head. Obviously, there was this reason why the cow's head had not detached.

Weird!

The scene in front of them gave them the feeling of these two words!

Although there are many cases where the signs of life are temporarily retained after the body and head are separated. For example, after the head of a chicken is cut off, the headless body can still run on its own for a while, but it is like this The situation is extremely rare and even impossible.

After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan could only attribute the key to the problem to this ancient city.

Yes, this is a city that is between life and death, and it is acceptable to have such a yak in between life and death.

"It seems that the time of this ancient city has really been fixed at a certain point in time." Shirley Yang looked at the still staring bull head and said with emotion.

Everything in this ancient city seems to be illustrating this matter, whether it is the lit lamps, unfinished bone products, or the immortal cow head in front of me, the cooked beef is like Tell them this.

"Let's find a place to spend the night first and explore again tomorrow." Black Glasses hesitated for a moment, then expressed his thoughts.

Now he felt that if he continued walking, he might encounter some weird things. Although he knew that ghosts were not afraid of the light, he still wanted to wait until daylight before doing anything.

In any case, sunshine can bring some psychological comfort to people.

Wang Kaixuan agreed with Black Glasses' words and nodded repeatedly: "I also think that what Glasses said is right. What we are most indispensable for now is time. There is no need to wander around this ghost town at night. We can totally do it tomorrow. Let’s do things during the day.”

Yes, a ghost town.

Now Wang Kaixuan has determined that they are in a ghost town.

“No, not everything here is fixed at a certain point in time.” At this moment, Chen Wenjin, who had been silent, suddenly said such a sentence.

Seeing everyone else looking at her, she stretched out her white wrist, pointed at the watch and said, "Although everything we see proves that the time here seems to have been completely frozen since ancient times, the hands of the watch have not. Being affected, this shows that time has always been passing, and another point is..."

Speaking of this, she pointed to the crooked stone door: "Everything here is not... Being stationary can only be said to be permanently retained in a specific state, so I think the conjecture of time and space can be ruled out for the time being. "

Chen Wenjin feels that if it is really a complete time and space freeze, then they will destroy it. After returning to its original appearance, everything here will automatically return to its original state instead of remaining as it is now.

“Huh——” Chen Ziyan took a breath and said: “No matter what is going on here, let’s find a place to rest first.”

He did not analyze Chen Wenjin. He expressed his opinion because he knew that the problem here was far more complicated than imagined.

It can be heard from the words of Black Glasses and Wang Kaixuan that they are now strongly wary of continuing to explore, although he can refuse the proposal and continue to lead everyone in the exploration.

But some things cannot be rushed. Proper rest is more conducive to relieving emotions.

And he really doesn’t know what to do next. If he continues walking in such a daze, he will probably encounter more situations like the yak in front of him, so it is better to sort out his thoughts before talking about anything else.
