People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 260 Underground Cave

As for the remaining three types, the blood corpse can be said to be the best to deal with. This thing is unrivaled in the eyes of ordinary people, but to Chen Ziyan, it is just that.

The same goes for the blue-eyed fox corpse. Ordinary people who know its operating mechanism can deal with it, let alone Chen Ziyan.

The last remaining Hydra cypress is really powerful. If there was no Tianxin Stone here, even Chen Ziyan would not dare to say that he could face it calmly, especially this is a Hydra cypress that far exceeds imagination.

But who said that there is a counterweight to the Hydra Cypress like the Tianxin Stone here, so the threat is immediately reduced to a minimum.

The short conversation ended, and the two people continued to move downwards, covering each other, but compared to before, the speed at this time was obviously slower.

For a time, in this empty underground, there was only the sound of two people moving, which made people feel a bit indescribable and depressing.

It's good that Chen Ziyan has confidence in his heart, but Hu Bayi is not as calm as him, and he will inevitably be affected in such an atmosphere.

Fortunately, the rest of the journey didn't take long, and they soon reached the bottom of the underground space.

When his feet landed on the stone slab on the ground, Hu Ba breathed out a breath of air.

Chen Ziyan didn't notice anything strange about Hu Bayi, or to be more precise, he didn't have the time to pay attention to it.

The moment he landed, Chen Ziyan's entire attention was focused on the scene in front of him.

What appeared in front of them was a huge natural cave. The cold moonlight followed the cave they came down from, passed over the intricate branches and fell to the ground, vaguely outlining the outline of the entire cave.

With the help of the light of a flashlight, you can see that the cave walls are covered with densely packed holes. At a rough glance, there are thousands of them.

The density was so dense that Chen Ziyan felt like many honeycombs were piled together and then enlarged in the same proportion.

That is to say, they do not have trypophobia, otherwise they would be dizzy by now.

The most shocking thing was the tree they came down from. Chen Ziyan felt that the tree was so thick that at least ten people would have to hug it to surround it.

"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid this tree must be as high as a ten-story building." Hu Bayi also calmed down and murmured, looking up at the giant tree.

It’s not that he’s ignorant, it’s that he’s never seen such a tree before.

"Just a little more." Chen Ziyan replied.

Then he looked at the countless vines on the tree. These vines were as thick as telephone poles, criss-crossing around the tree body and branches, and the slightly thinner branches spread to the cave wall next to it.

After taking a look at his surroundings, Chen Ziyan looked around him.

The position he is currently in is directly under the tree crown, and the entire bottom of the cave is also a stone corridor, starting from a small building similar to a sacrificial altar and extending to the stone platform beside him.

"Is this the owner of the tomb?" Hu Bayi was also observing. When he saw the jade bed next to Chen Ziyan from far to near, he couldn't help but ask.

Because only then did he realize that there were two people lying on it.

But as soon as the words came out, he denied the statement himself: "No, the tomb owner would not be so careless."

He was familiar with tomb forms and knew very well that the owner of the tomb could not be so casual.

Chen Ziyan looked at the corpses beside him. They were a male corpse and a female corpse. The male corpse was wearing tight-fitting armor and a bronze fox mask on his face. He placed his hands on his chest, protecting a purple gold box.

.

The female corpse was dressed in white gauze, and her peaceful face looked somewhat handsome.

But it doesn't matter whether she's handsome or not. What's really important is that there's no sign of decay on this female corpse. If you take a quick look, you might think she's sleeping.

"Master Chen, be careful!"

While Chen Ziyan was looking at the two corpses, Hu Bayi also walked over, but as soon as he looked over, he suddenly pulled Chen Ziyan back a few steps.

Chen Ziyan was pulled by him like this, and he subconsciously held his stick in front of him to protect himself, and looked around vigilantly.

While making this move, he did not forget to ask: "Old Hu, what's the problem?"

He thought Hu Bayi had discovered something, so he wanted to ask for the location so that he could take more targeted precautions.

Upon hearing Chen Ziyan's question, Hu Bayi pointed at the male corpse on the jade bed, his tone full of caution: "There is something wrong with the corpse!"

"Is there something wrong with the body?" Chen Ziyan felt like he knew something.

"That's right." Hu Ba nodded and said: "When I just looked over, I felt an uncomfortable feeling. When I looked carefully, I found that the eyes of the male corpse were open, and the two blue eyes were facing each other.

Stare at me coldly."

"Staring at you?" After hearing this, Chen Ziyan glanced at Hu Bayi first, and then looked at the male corpse after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him.

He knew that this was the blue-eyed fox corpse, so it was normal that something was wrong. But after hearing Hu Bayi say that he saw the eyes of the blue-eyed fox corpse, Chen Ziyan was most worried that he was bewitched by the fox corpse.

You must know that the most intuitive ability of the blue-eyed fox corpse is to cast illusions through its eyes.

This aspect is very similar to the ability of Little Fairy Girl, but there should be some differences.

"Master Chen, do you know something?" Hu Bayi probably guessed something through Chen Ziyan's reaction.

Chen Ziyan nodded: "Seeing this bronze mask reminds me of some things I have heard before."

Then he looked at Hu Bayi and asked: "Old Hu, have you heard of the blue-eyed fox corpse?"

"Blue-eyed fox corpse?" Hu Bayi repeated it, and after recalling it, he said: "I have heard the story of a blue-eyed fox corpse before. It is said to be a very evil rice dumpling, but I have never heard anyone say that they have seen it with their own eyes.

"

Speaking of this, he looked at the male corpse on the jade bed: "I always thought of it as a story, but I never thought that such a strange thing really existed."

Chen Ziyan didn't need to explain, he already knew that this male corpse was probably the legendary blue-eyed fox corpse.

"This kind of rice dumplings is indeed rare." Chen Ziyan said in agreement, and then said: "Ordinary rice dumplings are rare, let alone this type of rice dumplings. This also shows one-sidedly how special the Feng Shui of this place is."

Everything has its cause and effect, and if you want to raise rice dumplings like this, it’s not just any place.

While speaking, an idea suddenly came to Chen Ziyan's mind, that is, to bring back this blue-eyed fox corpse.

The red beast of Yerengou has proven that these special beings are excellent materials for making puppet armor, so it would be a pity if he gave up.

Moreover, through this blue-eyed fox corpse, he also thought of the blood corpse in Qixing Lu Palace, which was also a top-quality material.

At the moment when these thoughts appeared, Chen Ziyan's long-awaited system came online again.

[Ding! Choose to trigger!]

[Option 1: Take the blue-eyed fox corpse away from Qixing Lu Palace. Reward: Kunlun Ancient Jade]

[Option 2: Take the thousand-year-old blood corpse away from Qixing Lu Palace. Reward: Kunlun Ancient Jade]

Seeing this reward, Chen Ziyan blinked subconsciously.

how to say.

Slightly perfunctory.

It felt like it was given to him for free. As long as nothing went wrong, it would not be difficult for him to take away these two rice dumplings.

However, considering the previous choices, Chen Ziyan felt that there was probably something wrong with it, but he couldn't figure it out yet.

Hu Bayi didn't know what Chen Ziyan was thinking. His thoughts were still on the topic just now. He thought about it and said, "The Feng Shui here should be far more profound than it seems on the surface."

This was the answer he came up with after thinking about it, and it was also the only explanation.

Then Hu Bayi said: "Master Chen, it is said that this blue-eyed fox corpse has a curse ability. Are we..."

Although he didn't finish what he said, Chen Ziyan had already received what he wanted to express.

The implication is very clear, it is to avoid this place intentionally.

It's normal to think about it. Hu Bayi and the others still have a curse on them, and they definitely don't want to mess with another one.

"The term "curse" is just spreading rumors, and the power of the blue-eyed fox corpse is not like this." Chen Ziyan immediately explained.

He still wants to take this body back.

As long as he is successfully brought out of here, he will be rewarded, so that when he returns to the capital, he can directly make new puppet armor.

Therefore, it is necessary to overcome Hu Bayi's resistance.

"What about just now?" Although Hu Bayi trusted Chen Ziyan very much, he still couldn't help but ask when he thought of the terrifying exchange just now.

Chen Ziyan simply told him what he knew: "As far as I know, the ability of the blue-eyed fox corpse is to create illusions through its eyes. Of course, it does not rule out other abilities, but there is definitely no so-called curse ability. This is just a comparison.

It’s just a special rice dumpling, not that outrageous.”

Curse is something that comes out of nowhere. The root of the red spot curse comes from the snake god, okay?

"That's it." Chen Ziyan had already said this, so naturally Hu Bayi wouldn't say anything more.

After helping Hu Bayi get rid of the resistance in his heart, Chen Ziyan looked at the jade bed again.

As far as he knew, there were four most valuable things here, namely the purple gold box in the hands of the blue-eyed fox corpse in front of him and the unicorn on his belt, the real coffin hidden in the tree, and the key inlaid in the mouth of the female corpse.

The corpse-fixing pill.

Of course, there are differences in value here, but even the lowest value corpse-fixing pill is still a priceless treasure when taken outside.

After all, this is a treasure that allows the body to remain incorruptible for thousands of years even if it is exposed to the air.

After thinking over it in his mind, Chen Ziyan stretched the long stick in his hand slightly forward, lightly tapped the edge of the mask on the face of the blue-eyed fox corpse, and directly lifted it aside.

Hu Bayi naturally saw Chen Ziyan's movements, but he had no intention of stopping him and just stood on guard.

After all, this blue-eyed fox corpse is also a rice dumpling, so the appearance of the corpse is not a surprise.

However, what Hu Bayi was worried about did not appear until the bronze mask stopped shaking and the blue-eyed fox corpse did not move at all.

After the mask was peeled off, the true face of the blue-eyed fox corpse appeared in front of the two of them.

After looking at the weird fox-like face covered with fluff, Hu Bayi said with emotion: "The name is really correct. The first time I look at this thing, it reminds me of a fox."

"Be careful, don't look into his eyes." Chen Ziyan warned first, and then said: "Zongzi are generally like this, and most of the names are based on their characteristics."

He felt that this way of naming was very good. After all, robbing a tomb is not about reciting poems, and making a mystery may cost human life.

"Yes, this is more intuitive." Hu Bayi also nodded, and then he looked at the bronze mask that fell next to him and said, "Mr. Chen, should you put this mask away now, or wait until you go back?

?”

Although Hu Bayi has not been studying antique appreciation for a long time, he also knows the value of this mask. He is just afraid of what Chen Ziyan will do next, so he asks this question.

If you want to go further in the future, wait until you get back to pick it up to avoid damage due to accidents.

After all, this thing must have been around for thousands of years. Even if it is made of metal, it should have become fragile.

You must know that in thousands of years, the sea can turn into mulberry fields, let alone such a bronze mask.

"Take it now." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.

Although he did have the idea of ​​​​going in to take a look, it was better to put the mask away. Hu Bayi didn't know the situation here, and he still didn't know. There might be something unexpected when, so he had better be prepared to run away at any time.

The road preparation is relatively good.

However, he took a look at the blue-eyed fox corpse and knew that he could only wait until he got back to explore this thing. He couldn't carry a rice dumpling on his back to explore.

I don't want to say anything in my heart, but it's not safe either.

Who knows if this thing will suddenly come to life!

When Hu Bayi heard what Chen Ziyan said, he thought he was going to give up and continue exploring, so he took out a cloth bag from his backpack.

However, this cloth bag was not used to turn the bronze mask, but was used to cover the face of the blue-eyed fox corpse.

Since he said he couldn't look into this thing's eyes, he might as well cover his entire face because he wouldn't be able to see it.

Regarding Hu Bayi's methods, Chen Ziyan felt that they might be useful, provided that the blue-eyed fox corpse would not move.

Otherwise, what's the point of covering this thing?

Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Ziyan did not stop him. He also wanted to test the blue-eyed fox corpse in this way.

But as soon as this idea came up, Chen Ziyan saw that when Hu Bayi lowered his head to pick up the bronze mask, the blue-eyed fox corpse that was lying quietly next to him quietly sat up, and it seemed that he wanted to put his hand on it.

On Hu Bayi's shoulders.

There was no need to test it this time, as the result had already escaped on its own.

As this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Ziyan's body reacted quickly, and the long stick in his hand went directly towards the blue-eyed fox corpse that stood up.

He was sure that he could sweep this special rice dumpling away before the blue-eyed fox corpse touched Hu Bayi.

But before Chen Ziyan's long stick arrived, Hu Bayi, who seemed unaware, suddenly dwarfed, and then the engineer shovel held in his other hand struck the blue-eyed fox corpse behind him on the head without looking back.

.

The moment the engineer's shovel fell, Hu Bayi's body rushed to the side, trying to distance himself.

At the same time as he rushed out, Chen Ziyan's attack had also arrived. The blue-eyed fox corpse that had just been photographed was suddenly swept aside by the long stick and rolled several times before coming to rest.
