Chapter 453 Leaving
Which of the two appears first may seem like an insignificant question, but it actually represents a lot of things.
If the statue here is really the first generation of the Ghost Mother, it means that this was once the place where the Evil Luohai people worshiped the Ghost Mother, and its significance is no less significant than the altar outside.
Even think boldly, could this be the original place of inheritance?
Chen Ziyan doesn’t know if the remaining rituals of the first generation of ghost mothers have fallen into silence since their death, but if not, there is no guarantee that the two parties will not communicate in a special way.
"Do you think there will be any changes in the Demon Kingdom's relationship with the Ghost Mother?" Chen Ziyan asked directly after this thought flashed through his mind.
"Has something happened in the Demon Kingdom?" Black Glasses repeated his words, and then asked: "Mr. Chen, your idea is bold enough."
It was like his first The same thought came to my mind, and now I was the first to understand what Chen Ziyan wanted to express.
After Shirley Yang thought about it for a while, she couldn't help but shake her head and said: "There are no documented records in this area. We know too little about the Demon Kingdom."
In fact, what we have collected before The information provided by them is just trivial and repetitive information. In terms of value, it is not as valuable as their underground trip this time.
As soon as Hu Ba thought of the various performances of the Tibetan in Blue Robe, he took him as a breakthrough and asked: "My friend, do you have any clues?"
The Tibetan in Blue Robe did not hesitate. Shaking his head: "Not many people, even the devil himself, can know about such secretive things, and I don't know even more."
"I think what Mr. Chen said is quite right. Please think about it carefully." "Isn't this the same as what I said?" Wang Kaixuan agreed.
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan also said: "We can assume that the soul of the snake god can be preserved with the help of imaginary space and has the opportunity to be resurrected. You feel that you have taken away most of his power and it is even more mysterious. Will the first-generation ghost mother also leave the same backhand? "
"Even the consciousness of the first-generation ghost mother has been entrenched in Evil Luohai City and controlled the inheritance of the first few generations? " Shirley Yang followed his train of thought and added after thinking for a while.
"That's right." Chen Ziyan cast an admiring look at her, and then continued: "According to our previous findings, the subsequent ghost mothers are also divided into strong and weak ones. Some can master the power of the imaginary space, and some can control the power of the imaginary space. But I can only control the giant snake. I initially thought it was because the power of the ghost mothers was not passed down and became a tool for the powerful class to control public opinion. But now I think this order may be reversed. Maybe the first few generations of ghost mothers They did inherit the power of the imaginary number space, but that was because they were all the heirs appointed by the first generation of ghost mothers, and then an unknown secret incident occurred, which made it increasingly difficult for subsequent ghost mothers to inherit the imaginary number space. The power can only be passed down through the cruel method of sacrifice.”
After hearing Chen Ziyan’s analysis, everyone fell into deep thought. There are no obvious loopholes in the logic.
Although Chen Ziyan did not say it explicitly, everyone could tell that the so-called change was the human heart.
The body of the first-generation ghost mother turned into a glacier crystal corpse, leaving only the residual consciousness, but how much strength can the consciousness exert before birth?
Perhaps the first few generations of evil Luo Hai people will still be obedient because of their fear of her, but after this group of people pass away, the new people in power in the Demon Kingdom may not be willing to have someone above their heads. Such a great emperor.
Chen Ziyan even suspected that the complete silence of the consciousness of the first generation of ghost mothers might be caused by the powerful class of the demon country.
"Mr. Chen, look at that statue." Just when Chen Ziyan was diverging his thoughts and constantly making assumptions, Wang Kaixuan next to him suddenly bumped into him lightly and reminded him.
Chen Ziyan looked in the direction he pointed and saw that the head of the largest statue began to turn into powder.
Before he could react, he felt a cool breeze blowing from deeper, blowing the dust towards the stone door behind them.
"What's going on? Oxidation?" Hu Bayi asked in confusion.
Shirley Yang immediately denied his statement: "It can't be oxidation. The gap has been there for I don't know how long. If it were to be oxidized, I wouldn't have waited until now." Most of them are guesses, now we can go in with peace of mind." Chen Ziyan did not think about this problem anymore, but looked at the dark front and said.
Although he didn't know where the sudden wind came from, he knew that it meant there would definitely be an exit ahead.
"Mr. Chen, don't you think it's weird for a gust of wind to appear out of thin air in a place like this?" Chen Wenjin, who had been listening silently, was a little nervous when he thought about some taboos he had heard from his old friend at home. asked.
Now that she is here, she is not so naive as to think that the underground also pursues the supremacy of science.
"Weird?" Chen Ziyan chuckled and said: "If you really want to talk about it, there is nothing weird under the ground. A gust of wind can't explain anything."
Of course he also knew these taboos, but he knew better that even if It's ghosts causing trouble, and some things have to follow basic rules.
In fact, for Chen Ziyan, rather than making a bunch of unfounded guesses based on some specious clues, he would rather encounter evil spirits such as zombies, because this way he can easily solve them directly without using his brain. .
Wang Kaixuan said with a smile: "I tell you, sister, don't be afraid. We have all the things around us. Even if there are evil spirits and monsters with evil intentions, they are just clowns who are nothing to be afraid of. Come on. It's more or less just delivering food."
"That's it..." Chen Wenjin nodded slowly, feeling really relieved.
Although she was a little afraid of those things, it was more of a human fear of the unknown. Seeing that everyone looked disapproving at this moment, the sudden rise of fear naturally dissipated a lot.
While everyone was talking, the sudden wind had stopped, and those statues had completely disappeared. If there were not some traces left on the ground, it would have been as if they had never appeared.
Chen Ziyan and the others saw that there was nothing else worth studying here, so they continued to move deeper. Behind them was a flat stone road, and at the end of the stone road, a stone door appeared again.
However, this time the stone gate was much smaller, and there were no mechanisms. Chen Ziyan opened the stone gate with just a slight push.
Behind the stone gate is an upward sloping staircase. The width of the staircase is about three meters. There are bone lamps at intervals on both sides, but the lamp oil inside has long been exhausted. These bones The lamp could no longer be lit.
The length of this stone staircase is approximately one thousand meters. There is no stone door at the end, but the exit is located above.
However, this was not difficult for Chen Ziyan and the others. They just borrowed a little strength from the wall and easily left the stone steps.
After arriving at the top, Chen Ziyan immediately began to look at the environment. He soon discovered that this was not the ancient city ruins he expected, but a place similar to a cave. There was a faint light not far away, which was probably the exit of the cave. Seeing that there might be an exit in front of him, Chen Ziyan waited for everyone else to come up, then he just roughly checked the cave and started heading towards the location where the light came from.
The place where they came up was not far from the light, only a few dozen meters away, so he arrived there quickly.
When he arrived at the place where the light came from, Chen Ziyan knew that he had guessed correctly. This was indeed the exit, but the light did not come from outside the cave. Instead, there were some fluorescent crystals at the edge of the exit. The real exit. It has already been tightly blocked by underground vines.
But just when Chen Ziyan wanted to push away the vines, he suddenly saw a familiar red color. He immediately gave up touching the vines with his hands and instead used tools. After revealing their true appearance, everyone subconsciously took a step back.
Because they recognized the thing in front of them, it was the blood bait they had seen before.
The moment he saw the blood bait, Chen Ziyan suddenly had some guesses about the situation outside.
He stepped back, and then let his long stick recover. He didn't pay attention to the blood bait, and directly used the long stick to cut off all the vines blocking the entrance of the cave, and then fiddled with them one after another. Got outside.
After confirming that there were no more vines at the entrance of the cave, Chen Ziyan slowly stepped forward with a searchlight and looked outside.
The moment he saw the situation outside clearly, although the scene he saw was a little different from what he expected, he knew that his guess was not wrong.
Not only did they return to the underground space above, but they also returned directly to the place where the thousand-year-old turtle shell was. Their current location should be on the rock wall there.
"Eh? Why is there such a strong smell of blood outside?" Just as Chen Ziyan was thinking about the connection between here and below, Wang Kaixuan suddenly sniffed and asked.
His words interrupted Chen Ziyan's thoughts, but they also made him realize that something was wrong with the situation.
But...
He looked back at Wang Kaixuan and asked: "Fat man, wearing a breathing filter mask, can you still smell the smell of blood?"
Did Chen Ziyan doubt this guy? If it were true, it was because they had stayed in the strange-smelling environment down there for so long, and coupled with the powerful effect of the air filtering device, their sense of smell was definitely not as good as usual.
"Hey, our nose has also been practiced. Mr. Chen, do you know what it means to recognize a woman by smelling her fragrance? That is what our fat man is capable of." After Wang Kaixuan heard this, he immediately He said quite proudly.
He is really not telling a lie. He acquired this unique skill by accident. Although he is not very good at practicing it, he can respond quickly to the smell that is very impressive. The smell of blood is One of them.
He usually brags to Chen Ziyan and the others, but because he has repeatedly failed to show off, he will naturally seize the results if they come.
“You really know how to do it?” Chen Ziyan was a little surprised. He used to think that the fat man was joking.
As for why he believed Wang Kaixuan's words, it was because after he felt something was wrong, he deliberately stayed the searchlight beam in a certain place for a while and saw the blood flowing slowly there.
"Fat man, how come you couldn't smell anything last time when I asked you to smell soil?" Hu Ba couldn't help but ask directly when he thought of the clumsy appearance of this guy the last time he asked Wang Kaixuan to perform. .
Wang Kaixuan said plausibly: "This is the same as soil energy. Didn't I tell you last time that I asked you to follow me to the dance hall to operate it on site, and I will give you a good demonstration there, but none of you can I’d love to go.”
The fat man said that recognizing women by smelling their fragrances is not the kind of country master who specializes in the art.
Hu Bayi grinned, but still didn't say anything. He didn't know whether the dance hall was serious or not, but this guy definitely wasn't serious. How dare he join in the dirty work in front of Ding Sitian.
Really, I don’t want to think about his family status, Lao Hu!
If you dare to treat us, he won’t dare to go.
Chen Ziyan ignored what was happening behind him. After seeing the blood slowly flowing on the opposite cliff, he had already raised his security to the highest level.
He did not lean out rashly, but was inside the cave entrance, trying his best to look at the situation outside.
Although his line of sight was blocked and he could not see everything, what he could see made Chen Ziyan clear about one thing, that is, this place was completely different from when they left.
Almost all the cliffs are slowly flowing with blood, as if there is a lake of blood above, and in the pool below, countless white bearded fish corpses are floating in it. He even saw the bodies of the white-bearded old fish and the striped dragon inside, and neither of them were just one or two.
Judging from these findings, there must have been some kind of change here.
Chen Ziyan looked at the blue-robed Tibetan and asked, "Is the King of Hell a murderer?"
The first thing he thought of was the King of Hell. After all, what they saw below was most likely the King of Hell. So if such a situation occurs here, no matter how you think about it, it cannot be separated from the King of Hell.
"Huricide?" The blue-robed Tibetan was also thinking about what was going on outside. After hearing Chen Ziyan's question, he was slightly stunned at first, but then he shook his head and said: "This can't be What the King of Hell did, rather than causing such killings, the instinct of the King of Hell would make it more inclined to conquer these creatures.”
Although the King of Hell is not a kind person, its special ability determines that the King of Hell will not be like this. brutal.
"After all, what we can see here is limited, we have to go out and take a look." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said, then he gave up a position and let Huahu come to him and see It seems that he is going to let it explore the road.
Hu Bayi saw this scene and said: "Master Chen, how about we observe it again? I always feel that it is a bit risky to go out now."
Although it sounded calm outside, he felt that it was better to be careful. Anyway, what he had to do had been completed, and it didn't matter if he wasted a little time. There was no need to make fearless sacrifices for this.
