Golden Forbidden Land: I am at the highest level, exploring the secrets of immortality

"What, the smell of death?"

I was surprised.

Captain Zhong said that this person should have started to rot, that is, he had been dead for a while.

"Look for it quickly."

I ordered.

But the smell seemed to be wafting from the surrounding thatched houses, and I couldn't tell the location, so I had to carefully search from room to room.

The strange thing is that the house is very simple. There are only some stone statues of gods and traces of burning incense. There seems to be nothing else.

I searched for a long time, but apart from that disgusting smell, there was no other smell.

"Found it."

Suddenly, not far away, Li Dakui shouted.

We ran over quickly, and sure enough, we found a meditating man at the bottom of the two-story tower-like thatched house.

But this man's body was already eighty or ninety percent rotten, and all he could see was a skeleton and blackened flesh and blood.

"Is this a Taoist?"

I was a little shocked.

Because he is still wearing a Taoist robe, he can distinguish this person's professional status.

"Is he just a Taoist priest in vain?" Captain Zhong stared at us.

"Most likely."

I said.

I guess that this Taoist priest may have suffered an accident many days ago, so the body was placed here and allowed to rot.

This is the simplest and most likely thing.

But how he died is still unknown, because the body was so badly decomposed that no clues could be found.

Captain Zhong could not find anyone who could kill the Taoist priest.

"Do you think it's a vendetta or something?"

Captain Zhong asked me.

"Of course it can't be a vendetta."

I was sure, staring around, "The feng shui here is excellent, and there is also a tomb. There should be a wealthy family or an important minister in it. Since there is a tomb guard, there must be good things in it, and this snake cave is also a natural A place of health.”

"Is it to seize this place?"

Li Dakui understood.

"pretty close."

I said, I think this Taoist priest originally knew the beauty of this place, but ordinary people still couldn't get close, otherwise they would be in trouble, so he blocked it.

But I didn't expect to be harmed by evil ways.

"No, then the compass points to this place. Do those people live here?"

I suddenly realized, "Let's leave quickly."

"good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, the hut in front of him burst into flames.

There seemed to be a struggling woman in the burning flames whose face looked very scary. The woman stared straight at us and seemed to be smiling slyly.

"Hahaha……"

There seemed to be a sneer coming from the woman inside the flame, and we could hear it clearly.

"boom!"

Then the flames rushed directly towards us.

"Get down!"

I reminded him that the flames seemed to have eyes and pounced directly on him, but because Li Dakui's body was too heavy, he exerted force and half of his body was suddenly stuck under the wooden plank road.

Below is the cold lake water.

And it's already frozen.

"Hold on."

I quickly ran over and prepared to pick him up.

"boom!"

The flames rushed directly towards Li Dakui, and his whole back was suddenly on fire.

"It hurts me so much."

He jumped straight down.

"Plop!"

The ice seemed to be very thick. After Li Dakui fell, only one hole was made. Then he exposed half of his body outside and supported his body with his hands to prevent him from falling in.

"Don't fall in, otherwise it will be difficult to climb up."

You must know that in winter, there are holes inside, especially holes that are just big enough to accommodate a person, which are the most dangerous. If you fall in, it is usually difficult to get out.

"Don't worry, I didn't ask... No problem!" He signaled. Although the flames on his body were extinguished, the weather was freezing, especially since half of his body was soaked in water. You can imagine how cold it was.

Soon, Captain Zhong found a piece of wood near the hut.

"Hold on tight."

He lay on the railing and tentatively let Li Dakui grab one end of the wood, hoping that he would get up first. After all, if he stayed frozen in there for a long time, he would be dead.

By then, my whole body was numb, and I no longer felt any sensation even if I was struck with a knife or an axe.

Soon, Li Dakui caught it. He carefully exerted his strength, and Captain Zhong's body gradually became heavier, crushing the wicker of the wooden plank road.

However, I didn't dare to step forward at this time, because as long as I exerted a little force, the wooden plank road would probably collapse, and Captain Zhong would even fall in, not to mention rescuing Li Dakui.

"careful."

I reminded.

Soon, most of Li Dakui's body was exposed, leaving only a pair of feet. He was lying on the ice, preparing to get up.

I was relieved, but...
