People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 261 Blue Eyed Fox Corpse

The moment the blue-eyed fox corpse landed, Hu Bayi had already taken advantage of this opportunity to successfully distance himself, turned around and protected the engineer shovel in front of him, and looked at the blue-eyed fox corpse warily.

Chen Ziyan took advantage of the situation and took two steps forward, standing in front of Hu Bayi, pointing his long stick at the motionless blue-eyed fox corpse.

If he hadn't wanted to take this thing back with him, he would have gone up and made a repair by now.

After all, it is generally better for enemies to die.

After waiting for two minutes, I saw that the blue-eyed fox corpse seemed to be dead, still lying there in an awkward posture and motionless.

Hu Bayi wanted to step forward and strike a blow to prevent this thing from causing further trouble later. He didn't want to have to guard his back at a critical moment.

That would be too passive.

But as soon as he made a move, he was stopped by Chen Ziyan, who had been paying attention to him.

Comparing his feelings with his own, Chen Ziyan felt that although Hu Bayi had different personalities from his own, their choices after identifying the enemy were almost 80% the same.

The fact was not beyond his expectation. After Hu Bayi reacted, he immediately chose to perform a last-ditch attack.

After being stopped by Chen Ziyan, Hu Bayi looked at him in confusion: "Mr. Chen, what is this?"

Just like Chen Ziyan knew what Hu Bayi would do, Hu Bayi could also guess a bit of Chen Ziyan's thoughts, so he went to get to know the blue-eyed fox corpse without asking.

Because he felt that the two of them would make the same choice.

Chen Ziyan knew that Hu Bayi would have doubts, so he did not hide it from him and said: "I am very interested in this blue-eyed fox corpse and want to take it back to study it."

However, explanations are explanations, but he did not tell the truth. Some things were better not to be revealed unless necessary.

"That's it, that's okay." Hu Bayi didn't think much about it.

This is not the first time this has happened. The same thing happened to Hong Jian last time. It’s just that he doesn’t know where Chen Ziyan got him.

Thinking of Hong Jian, who had disappeared after returning to the capital, Hu Ba suddenly realized that something was wrong, but the current situation did not allow him to think about it in detail, so he put the problem behind him without much thought.

Chen Ziyan ignored what Hu Bayi was thinking. He pretended to take out the corpse net from his backpack, but actually took it out of his carry-on space, and directly covered the blue-eyed fox corpse on the ground.

The moment the corpse net fell, the blue-eyed fox corpse seemed to feel something, and subconsciously wanted to struggle, but when the corpse net fell, the half-destructive struggle disappeared instantly.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ziyan walked over, turned the blue-eyed fox corpse over with a long stick, and wrapped the whole body in the corpse net.

Then he took out a bundle of climbing ropes and tied the blue-eyed fox corpse together with the corpse net tightly.

Then Chen Ziyan grabbed the hanging vines beside him and directly hung the balled blue-eyed fox corpse on it.

There is no way to take this 'trophy' with you for the time being, so you have to find a suitable place to store it, and looking at the entire underground cave, there is no place more suitable than Hydra Cypress.

As for whether such teasing would cause Hydra to attack, Chen Ziyan was not worried at all.

He was not sure about the stone corridor in the distance, but the material used in the stone platform was exactly the Tianxin Stone they were looking for.

The reason that made Chen Ziyan make this judgment was that there was no movement at all from Hydra Cypress when they came down this road.

As far as he knew, Hydra Kashiwa would hunt based on vibrations, and the noise they made along the way was not big, but definitely not small, so the reason why they didn't attack was very simple. It could only be that there was something to suppress it here.

Hydra cypress.

As for the thing that could suppress Hydra Cypress, he only knew the Tianxin Stone, so he came to this conclusion.

Hu Bayi had been watching Chen Ziyan from the side. After he hung the whole blue-eyed fox corpse on the vine, he asked: "Master Chen, what should we do next?"

He didn't know that what he was looking for was right in front of him, so he was still wondering where to find the Tianxin Stone.

However, he had only heard of this thing and had no idea what it looked like, so he wanted to ask Chen Ziyan.

Hu Bayi felt that since Chen Ziyan proposed to come here, he should be able to get to know Tianxinshi.

Chen Ziyan did not follow Hu Bayi's words, but went back and picked up the purple gold box where the blue-eyed fox corpse had been left, and said, "Let's get the key first."

"Key?" Hu Bayi glanced at the purple gold box and subconsciously looked at the surrounding situation.

The keyhole on this thing was so obvious, he naturally knew that he needed a key to open it, but it was almost clear at a glance, but he couldn't see where anything was hidden.

"On the female corpse." Chen Ziyan directly answered.

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi immediately looked at the female corpse still lying on the same spot and asked: "This female corpse shows no signs of decay in such an environment. Could it be that she is also a rice dumpling?"

With the blue-eyed fox corpse here, he had reason to suspect that it was also an evil thing.

"It's not that, it's just a container." Chen Ziyan said and walked to the female corpse.

After helping the female corpse sit up with one hand, Chen Ziyan tilted the female corpse's head forward slightly, then put his thumb firmly against the other person's throat, and then tapped it gently, and a key fell out of her mouth.

And at the moment when the key fell, thin needles shaped like cow hairs shot out from the abdomen of the female corpse at lightning speed. If someone was standing in front, it would probably be the same as a hornet's nest in this round.

Because he was standing nearby, Hu Bayi could see it more clearly and couldn't help but sigh: "Such a trap is really hard to guard against."

These words were definitely made out of emotion, because he didn't notice any clues just now.

"This is for those who know the ropes," Chen Ziyan said.

When most experts see this kind of corpse, the first thing they think of is the corpse-fixing pill, and such an extremely precious thing as the corpse-fixing pill can only be enjoyed by the great nobles in ancient times.

No one would easily tamper with the corpse of a nobleman, which makes people subconsciously think that the corpse will not have mechanisms.

Under such circumstances, if you use the conventional method to take the elixir, you will undoubtedly face those fine needles head-on, so Chen Ziyan said that this was prepared for experts.

Hu Bayi could understand what Chen Ziyan meant. After thinking about it, he realized that there was nothing wrong with this guess. He would probably do the same thing if he did it.

After all, the only danger to the corpse of the noble tomb owner is corpse transformation. Naturally, this can be prevented.

Putting the decaying female body back, Chen Zi extended his hand to pick up the key that fell to the ground.

This is a bronze key half the length of a finger, with a dark green bead inlaid at the end. Not surprisingly, this bead is the corpse-fixing pill.

But we cannot rule out the possibility that the bronze key has a role. After all, some materials in this world have equally strange abilities.

He did not choose to open the purple gold box here. After playing with the key for a while, Chen Ziyan put both items into his portable space.

Although it looked calm now, he had a feeling that a storm was coming, so it would be better to open this thing after returning home.

Boom——

At this moment, the sound of metal falling sounded in my ears.

Knowing that something was going on, Chen Ziyan quickly turned his head and saw Hu Bayi, who had been standing aside just now, with his feet off the ground and being dragged upwards, with a vine tightly wrapped around his neck.

The sound just now was caused by the engineer's shovel falling.

Without thinking, Chen Ziyan had a short arrow in his hand, and then he raised his hand and threw the short arrow out. The short arrow passed through the vines above Hu Bayi's head and nailed him directly to the tree behind him.

While the short arrow was nailing the vine, Chen Ziyan had already stepped forward. A broken knife appeared in his free hand at some point, and he stepped directly up the thick tree body, cutting the vine wrapped around Hu Bayi.

The vines were cut off.

boom--

After Hu Bayi fell to the ground, Chen Ziyan also returned to the ground at the same time.

He quickly went over to help Hu Bayi up, and while retreating towards the jade bed, he asked: "Old Hu, what happened just now?"

Until now, Chen Ziyan still hasn't figured out what is going on.

Because according to his estimation, the area they were in was made of Tianxin Stone, so there was no reason why Hydra would attack them.

"I... don't know, cough... I was standing there just now, and suddenly a vine got wrapped around my neck." Hu Bayi said while coughing.

This attack was too secretive and sudden, leaving him without any defense. He could only subconsciously grab the vines with his hands to prevent his neck from being strangled directly.

When Chen Ziyan heard this, he quickly looked around, but the vines hanging down from the trees did not move at all, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

This is also extremely unreasonable, because the Hydra cypress has no wisdom at all, even if it is a Hydra cypress that is thousands of years old or even older.

So this means that if Hydra Cypress wants to attack, it will be continuous and will not be tentative.

Could it be... a warning?

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and Chen Ziyan thought of this possibility that was not very realistic.

If it is a warning, then who is warning me?

Although this idea was very unrealistic, Chen Ziyan still tried to think about it without any other ideas.

Soon, he locked on a target.

King Mu of Zhou.

He knew the owner of the Qixing Lu Palace, and it stands to reason that King Lu Shang and Tie Miansheng were also suspected. But since he came out from Sheng Ji's place, Chen Ziyan felt that King Zhou Mu was not dead, so the first thing he thought of at this time was

it's him.

After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan found an extra seal in his hand, which was exactly the one he got in Longling Temple.

Hu Bayi also recovered at this moment. When he saw Chen Ziyan taking out the ghost seal, he asked in confusion: "Mr. Chen, why did you take out this thing?"

Chen Ziyan did not answer, but said: "Old Hu, find a way to remove two bricks here."

"Okay." Hu Ba didn't ask any questions as soon as he saw this. He knew Chen Ziyan's rules of freedom in doing things. If he gave such an order, he must have a reason.

Although the craftsmanship of this stone platform is very exquisite, after all, it has been honed for so long, and with the help of tools, Hu Bayi quickly removed two floor tiles from under his feet.

"Could this be the Tianxin Stone?" Hu Bayi suddenly asked after taking the floor tiles in his hand and looking at them.

The bricks were just under the feet, and the outside was covered with a layer of dust, so nothing could be seen at all.

But after holding it in his hand and seeing other sides of the floor tiles, Hu Bayi almost subconsciously came up with this idea.

Nothing else, it's just that the texture of the floor tiles is too fine.

"Probably." Chen Ziyan nodded.

"Then let's go back home now?" Hu Bayi continued to ask.

Now that he has obtained the Tianxin Stone, he feels that there is no need to continue. The preparations for this trip are a bit insufficient and it is not suitable to continue in depth.

"Let's go now, but I have to do an experiment first." As Chen Ziyan spoke, he had already tied the blue-eyed fox corpse hanging on the tree behind him.

As he finished speaking, the Guixi he held in his hand suddenly stamped towards the ground.

"Master Chen... what are you doing?" Hu Bayi was confused and couldn't figure out what Chen Ziyan was doing.

Although the origin of the seal is mysterious, its current usage is somewhat mysterious.

Chen Ziyan did not reply, but tried his best to listen to what was going on around him.

He was actually not sure if this would work. After all, he didn't know if the Ghost Seal would work. This was just an attempt.

But the next moment, not only Chen Ziyan heard the sound, but Hu Bayi also heard the rustling noise.

These sounds were densely packed, as if they were coming from all directions, making it impossible for people to distinguish between east, west, north and south.

Not to mention Chen Ziyan who was more alert now, even Hu Bayi looked around with vigilance.

While Hu Bayi was observing, he also did not forget to stuff the floor tiles he had just removed into his backpack.

"let's go."

As the rustling sounds became more and more intense, Chen Ziyan knew that he could not stay any longer, so he immediately called out to Hu Bayi and climbed up with the help of vines.

Hu Bayi was also unambiguous and followed Chen Ziyan step by step.

The two people climbed up as fast as they did when they came down, and quickly climbed out about ten meters.

"Mr. Chen, could this really be caused by the seal?" Hu Bayi asked as he climbed.

What he wants to know most right now is this matter. It feels a bit unrealistic no matter how he thinks about it, but other than that, he really can't find any other possibility. It can't be a coincidence.

If it's just a coincidence, I wouldn't have come here early to have fun, but just in time for the seal to fall?

"I don't know either." Chen Ziyan was also a little confused.

It should be true that Guixi is useful, but he doesn't know how to use it specifically. He just wanted to try this thing to see if it can be used like the Tianguan Seal.

If it works, let's try our previous guess.

But now that he has really reacted, he is still a little unsure.

Thinking this in his heart, Chen Ziyan glanced down subconsciously, and then his climbing movement stopped instantly.
