Two hours later, Fang Jie and the others encountered the second corpse. It seems that this corpse is slightly more intact than the first corpse. If you look at it suddenly, it looks like it has fallen asleep on the ground. Apart from the fact that the face is pale and there is no blood, you can't even tell where the injuries are, and the clothes on the body are not even visible. There was no damage. The only thing that made people confused was that his breastplate was wrapped with a layer of felt, which seemed to be very tight.
Insects and pythons are what Chen Heng and Chen Ha are afraid of, but dead people are obviously not. So when Fang Jie and Zhuo Buyi were observing closely, they also came over to take a look.
¡°Hey, Xiaoha, look at this man¡¯s body without any injuries.¡±
Chen Heng said curiously.
Chen Ha hummed, knelt down and took a closer look, pointed at the felt cloth wrapped around the corpse's breastplate and said in surprise: "This man is so strange, why is he wearing asmall dress outside his clothes?"
While he was talking, he reached out and pulled. He pulled a few times but couldn't pull it. The felt cloth was wrapped too tightly and was tied with a rope. The rope had even sunk deeply into it.
"Internal strife? Or was it because Luo Wen was offended and someone with a high level of cultivation took action and was shocked to death?"
Fang Jie asked doubtfully.
Zhuo Buyi frowned, thought for a while and said, "Probably not. It's impossible for the people on the left to offend Luo Wen, and it's impossible for Luo Wen to order the death of a personal guard just because of a few words. In this case, who would be willing to protect him to the death? This man¡¯s death is a bit strange, so it¡¯s best not to move.¡±
Before he could finish his words, Chen Ha, who was accustomed to being a child, had already cut open all the layers of felt cloth and ropes with his fingers like a sword. The moment the ropes and felt cloth collapsed, the corpse's belly suddenly bulged. After a violent squirming, countless thumb-sized objects poured out from it, as if a black streak had opened on the corpse's belly. fountain.
Chen Ha was so frightened that he retreated sharply. Fang Jie and others also immediately retreated and took a defensive posture. It was only then that he saw clearly what was coming out of the corpse's belly It was a bug that should never appear in the human body, a bug that was 100% cognitively incapable of eating meat.
Grasshopper
These grasshoppers are the same as ordinary grasshoppers in terms of size and color, but they have a lot of dirty blood on their bodies. When the rope collapsed and the felt cloth cracked, these grasshoppers crawled out crazily, squeezing out blackly. Fang Jie and the others watched helplessly as the grasshopper crawled out, shook its body and flew away. It seemed that it had no interest in attacking people again after it was full.
When the grasshoppers flew away, the belly of the corpse immediately deflated. The limbs were intact, but the internal organs in the belly had been eaten away. The man didn't know why he was attacked by these grasshoppers, and then someone immediately wrapped his belly with a felt rope. Apparently there was someone in Rowan's team who was familiar with these grasshoppers.
"We have to be careful. Some of Luo Wen's people are familiar with Cangman Mountain and people keep dying. We know nothing about this place."
Zhuo Buyi glanced at Fang Jie worriedly.
Attacks by these bugs are completely impossible to prevent.
Even people with good cultivation may be attacked without realizing it.
Fang Jie also had lingering fears. Fortunately, those grasshoppers were full and did not plan to continue attacking. Otherwise, it would be difficult to ensure that the four of them would not be besieged.
At this moment, Fang Jie suddenly thought that when he was a guest in Luo Yao's house, he first took a poison-breaking pill to prevent being poisoned. Then he suddenly realized that although he encountered a lot of bugs on the way, nothing seemed to be close to him. The reason why those grasshoppers didn't pounce on them immediately was not because they were full but because they hated the pills on the four people!
Just in case, Fang Jie and the four of them always carry the Gu-Breaking Pill with them.
The Poison-Breaking Pill is made from cocktail and is just that. But there is no doubt that this is the most effective way to prevent being poisoned. The two soldiers who were killed by the human-faced spider and the grasshopper did not have cocktails on their bodies. It was obvious that they had dropped them on the way due to some negligence.
He immediately took out the Poison-breaking Pill from his arms and held it in his hand: "The Poison-breaking Pill can repel insects. Now it is almost certain that the things here were specially raised by someone. The reason why we were not attacked is not because they were full. It¡¯s because we have the poison-breaking pill. The more suitable it is for making poisonous insects, the more disgusted we are with the poison-breaking pill. These grasshoppers fly away immediately, proving that they are suitable for being used as poisonous insects by wizards.¡±
"Unimaginable"
Zhuo Buyi took out the Gu-breaking Pill and held it in his hand: "If this mountain was really the territory of one or a group of the most brilliant wizards before, so many weird things were created, then the He people's witchcraft has reached such an appalling level. The situation. We were worried about being poisoned, so we took the poison with us.Dan, it can be regarded as an unintentional act. "
Fang Jie nodded: "If the witchcraft of the He people has become so powerful, it is no wonder that Luo Yao continued to launch troops against the He people in recent years. We can also understand why Murong Sha, the emperor of Nan Yan, immediately attacked the He people after the founding of the country. The He tribe wizards drove them away, and then sent heavy troops to guard the border. Nanyan was too weak to control the wizards, so they had to drive them away. Furthermore, because the conflict between the Han people of the Shang State and the He tribe was too deep, Murong Shai was afraid of going down the old path of the Shang State. road¡¡"
Zhuo Buyi nodded: "Let's go. Although we have Gu Breaking Pill on us, it's not necessarily safe. Go up early and go back early."
¡°Obviously, Cangman Mountain is a place that makes people with his level of cultivation feel uneasy.
"I suddenly thought of something!"
After walking forward for a while, Fang Fangjie suddenly stopped and his expression changed. He turned his head and looked at Zhuo Buyi, with an uneasiness in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
¡¡
¡¡
"What's wrong?"
Zhuo Buyi couldn't help but ask.
Fang Jie sorted out the thoughts in his mind, took a deep breath and said: "If a person has encountered life-threatening dangers here one after another, but still comes here every year, is it really just to find strange things for his mother? As a birthday gift? If a mother knew that her son almost died here, would she still allow him to climb the mountain every year? "
"You mean Luo Wen?"
Zhuo Buyi asked.
Fang Jie nodded: "The first time Luo Wen went to Cangman Mountain, he was almost assassinated by a He tribe warrior. The second time, he was almost swallowed by a giant python. There are other things we don't know, but these two things are enough to A person is afraid of this place. But Rowan climbs the mountain every year before her mother's birthday. Is it really to find a gift? A mother who doesn't want to be extravagant should be happy with any gift her son gives her. It¡¯s not about letting your son take risks and ignoring them.¡±
"so¡¡"
Zhuo Buyi's expression also changed: "So, Luo Wen went to Cangman Mountain not to find birthday gifts for his mother, but for other purposes. And the Chu family must also know that his son is in Cangman Mountain What kind of tricks are being done on Manshan Mountain, so she won¡¯t stop her, and even claims that her son is looking for rare things to make gifts for her, to cover up for Rowan! There must be something on this mountain that forces Rowan to come up. "
Fang Jie shook his head: "I don't know what it is, but I estimate that it is probably related to witchcraft. This is simply a paradise for wizards. People who come here with a purpose can only be related to these things."
"It seems that Luo Yao also knows?"
Zhuo Buyi frowned.
"That's not necessarily true. If Luo Wen told the soldiers that he was looking for gifts for the Chu family, and then didn't allow those soldiers to come close when he was doing it, no one would know what he was doing."
Zhuo Buyi hummed: "If Luo Wen's purpose is to learn witchcraft, or if there is any wizard colluding with him in this mountain, our trip will be more dangerous, because what we have to face is not just those elite armored men. Scholars and a few masters with good cultivation, and maybe even a brilliant wizard You should think carefully about whether it is worth continuing to climb up."
Fang Jie was silent for a while and then smiled: "Some fools will never look back until they have no choice but to do so."
Zhuo Buyi sighed and let Chen Heng and Chen Ha carry him forward.
Fang Jie looked back at the corpse in the distance with its belly empty, and found that a colorful snake appeared out of nowhere and had swallowed the head of the corpse. This big snake is different from the giant python. The giant python is not poisonous, but this snake looks like it must be extremely venomous. The snake's head is triangular and there is a red sarcoma on the top of its head. Apparently the snake was also afraid of those grasshoppers, and only came to devour the corpse after the grasshoppers flew away. Snakes are afraid of grasshoppers, and the ecosystem in this mountain is out of order.
This place is simply a hell.
"If nothing else happens, Rowan's secret should be in the place called Deer and Monkey Cave."
Fang Jie whispered as he walked: "The Deer and Monkey Cave has only been called out in the past few years. No one has discovered it before. In the past three years, Luo Wen was in Chang'an City and not in Yongzhou. It was during these three years that Someone discovered the Deer and Monkey Cave during the year. It was such a coincidence that I would rather believe that Luo Wen had known about it before and arranged for people to protect the cave from being discovered when he was not in Yongzhou, or the people who stayed behind were negligent or so. He had already retreated into the city, so he was discovered in that place.¡±
"Butit is said that everyone who entered that hole died."
Zhuo Buyi hummed and said, "Soif you really want to go into that hole, you should first think about whether there is anything left unsaid."
"Bah"
Fang Jie spat and said, "There is a saying that disaster lasts for thousands of years"
Zhuo Buyi was surprised for a moment and then nodded seriously: "Then at least you can live a long life."
Fang Jie couldn't help but laugh, and the tension in his heart relaxed a little: "We'll see what happens when we get to the Deer and Monkey Cave. I won't be stupid if it's not easy to deal with."
At this moment, Zhuo Buyi's expression suddenly changed: "We're close I can already sense a lot of people in front of me. If they stop, they should be at the right place."
Fang Jie took a deep breath, looked back at Chen Heng and Chen Ha and said: "You two are not allowed to say a word from now on. If those people find out, you will lose. Of course, you must do whatever I ask you to do." What, otherwise you will lose too."
"Want to play hide and seek with those people?"
Chen Heng laughed: "I like to play hide and seek the most."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "If you don't want to lose, just be obedient."
Chen Ha patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, we must not lose! Whoever loses whoever loses goes to eat fish!"
He gritted his teeth and swore what he thought was the most powerful oath.
Now the person leading the way was changed from Fang Jie to Zhuo Buyi, and the four of them cautiously moved towards the place where those people gathered. After walking a long way forward, Zhuo Buyi stopped and mouthed that he was just ahead. Fang Jie and others slowly leaned over and quietly poked their heads out from behind a big rock to look forward.
There is an open space in front, with at least two dozen elite soldiers in armor on guard with knives. Fang Jie could see at a glance that those soldiers had cocktails tied around their waists, but the two dead soldiers did not. There was a huge hole in the cliff behind the elite soldiers, as black as a demon's throat.
