Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Huo family and others quickly gathered around to express their condolences.
"Brother Chen, you are so lucky to have found such a peerless sword. This long sword must be very valuable." The disciple of the Huo family looked at the long sword in Chen Ze's hand with envy.
Chen Ze played with it for a while and handed the long sword to the disciple of the Huo family: "Give it to you!"
"Give it to me?" The disciple of the Huo family pointed at himself in confusion. nose.
"Yes, it's broken anyway, so I might as well give it to you. I think you like collecting all kinds of antiques." Chen Ze said.
The Huo family disciple was stunned for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Thank you, brother!"
"You're welcome!" Chen Ze patted the Huo family disciple on the shoulder, then turned and left the sarcophagus.
The Huo family disciple carefully held the sword given to him by Chen Ze and couldn't put it down.
On a huge rock not far from Chen Ze and others, Chen Wenjin was sitting cross-legged and resting.
At this time, a gust of wind blew away the leaves, revealing the red paper hidden under the dead branches and leaves.
Chen Wenjin reached out and picked up these red pieces of paper.
Chen Wenjin first saw that these pieces of paper were filled with dense words.
Chen Wenjin scanned them ten lines at a time. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Chen Wenjin couldn't stay any longer and immediately returned to Chen Ze and others.
"Boss, look, there is a pile of notes here, it seems that someone left them." Chen Wenjin's sudden behavior attracted Yao Xin's attention.
"Where is it?" The Huo family disciples hurriedly came over to look for the note.
It’s just that there are too many notes and I can’t even see what’s written on them.
"It may be a clue left by another team. Look, there are words in blood."
Chen Ze discovered that Chen Wenjin's right hand that had just held the note was stained with blood.
"Blood? So these notes are filled with blood?"
Chen Ze nodded.
"No wonder I said it was so dirty!
A few people took out their handkerchiefs and wiped them.
Chen Ze, Chen Wenjin, and Yao Xin wiped it carefully. It only took a long time to remove the blood. , and didn’t see any other clues. These words in blood are all crooked and cannot be recognized at all.
“Boss, look at it. "Chen Wenjin threw the handkerchief to Chen Ze.
Chen Ze took the handkerchief and took a look, and there were four sentences written on it.
"Whose handwriting is this?" Yao Xin asked.
"It seems to be Zhang Qiling's." A disciple of the Huo family whispered beside Chen Ze.
The disciples of the Huo family seemed a little excited when they heard that Zhang Qiling had left a clue.
“I know who left this.” Chen Ze said suddenly.
"Who is it?" the Huo family disciple asked impatiently.
"I guess it was left behind by Zhang Qiling and the others," Chen Ze said.
"Ah? Why?" The disciples of the Huo family were a little confused. Since they knew they were the ones left behind, why did they have this expression?
“Look, they wrote four sentences in blood.” Chen Ze continued to read, “There is something strange in the ancient tomb!”
After hearing this, the three disciples of the Huo family suddenly realized , I see. No wonder Chen Ze was hesitant to speak. It turned out that Chen Ze was worried that this was a clue left by the enemy.
"Boss, what should we do?"
"I think we should retreat. What if we encounter them?" the Huo family disciple suggested.
"What are you afraid of? Just fight and it will be over." Chen Wenjin said.
“You are not afraid of death!” the Huo family disciple said back.
"Uh, what should we do now?" Chen Wenjin asked weakly as she was choked.
“These pieces of paper should be left by them to remind us, so we might as well follow the clues.” Chen Ze said.
"Follow the clue?" The disciple of the Huo family was puzzled.
"Well, a relatively simple thing, I think they must hope that we can excavate as much of this site as possible." Chen Ze said thoughtfully.
"Oh! Got it, let's go forward along the road now!" said the Cui family disciple.
"No, we have to find another way." Chen Ze shook his head and rejected the Cui family disciple's proposal. "Why?" The Cui family disciple felt that his brain was not enough.
"Have you forgotten where this place is?"
"Haunted house, what's wrong?"
"There are many unknown dangers in the haunted house. If we continue to explore in depth, maybe We will encounter ghosts and the like, it is better for us not to mess with such things."
"Well, it seems so!" The disciples of the Huo family were frightened by Chen Ze's words.
“Then where else do you want to go?”
"Of course, I will continue to march towards the North Pole according to my previous thoughts." Chen Ze said.
"You still have such leisurely elegance at this time?" Chen Wenjin glanced at Chen Ze in surprise.
“Otherwise, what else can we do?” Chen Ze shrugged.
"I have a better way, but it requires taking risks." Chen Wenjin said with a smile.
“What can I do?”
"Follow me!"
Then Chen Ze and the other two followed Chen Wenjin to a hill and stopped.
Chen Ze raised his head and looked at the top of the hill. The hill was at a ninety-degree right angle, and the top of the hill was a depression, as if it had been shattered by a punch.
“There seems to be something on the top of this mountain peak?” Chen Ze asked.
"Yes, we will know the answer when we climb up." Chen Wenjin said.
"Okay, let me see what you have gained this time!" Chen Ze took the lead in climbing up the rock.
"I'm going to help!" The Huo family disciples followed closely.
Chen Wenjin also wanted to go up, but was held back by Yao Xin.
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
"You are stupid. Of course you are protecting the boss and the others. What if they are injured?" Chen Wenjin said, glaring at Yao Xin. .
"You don't understand! This is called strategic giving up!" Yao Xin said righteously.
"Get out of here! You're just a coward!" Chen Wenjin rolled her eyes.
Chen Ze and others climbed to the top of the hill and found some clues. There was a big stone protruding from the top of the mountain wall.
Chen Ze used a dagger to cut the fabric on his clothes, spread the fabric under the big stone, took out a fire stick from his arms and lit it.
"Hoo~" A bonfire burned, and the surrounding area suddenly became extremely bright.
"Wow, the boss is still smart." The Huo family disciple praised.
Chen Ze ignored the compliments from the Huo family disciples, and just focused all his attention on the big protruding stone. Although the stone was protruding, it was actually a whole big stone, just because The hill is high, which is why it creates this effect.
Chen Ze squatted down and observed the stone carefully.
"Boss, is there anything special about this stone?" the Huo family disciple asked.
Everyone uncovered the stone, and there turned out to be a lot of corpses underneath.
"Ah, there seems to be a pair of eyes looking at us down there!"
"There are footprints on this stone!"
Yao Xin pointed to the edge of the stone and said.
Chen Ze and Chen Wenjin both stepped forward and took a look. It was indeed as Yao Xin said, there were footprints on the edge of the stone. Not only that, there was a layer of dust covering the surface of the stone.
“This footprint is a bit strange, it seems to have just been left!” Chen Wenjin frowned.
"Well! These footprints should have been stepped on last night." Chen Ze said.
“Then someone came here a long, long time ago?” the Huo family disciple said in shock.
"It is possible, but it does not rule out that someone wore out their shoes and socks and stepped on them deliberately to hide the public's eyes and ears." Chen Ze said.
"Then let's quickly collect these footprints. Maybe we can find some secrets!" the Huo family disciple said excitedly.
"Yeah!" Chen Ze nodded in agreement with the Huo family disciple's idea. (End of chapter)
