Without further ado, Chen Ziyan and others returned to the fortress in about half an hour.
After they fed the roasted bat meat to the prairie ground otters through the vents in the lounge, these lazy guys seemed to expect it. After eating, they became even lazier and fell asleep together again.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan whispered: "Let's go."
He knew that with the temperament of this group of prairie otters, they might not be able to move in a short time.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also looked happy, and after hearing this, they quickly followed behind Chen Ziyan.
After arriving at the mezzanine above the maintenance room again, the three of them did not delay too much. After checking the equipment they carried, they turned on their flashlights and entered the cave.
This cave can accommodate the passage of prairie land otters, and it is naturally enough activity for them.
As they go deeper it becomes apparent that they are winding downwards.
However, although the passage is downward as a whole, it does not go straight, but twists and turns. It looks like it is made of beasts.
If it were to be excavated manually, it would definitely be more planned than this, and there would never be such an extremely random turn.
"Master Chen, how should I choose?"
After walking for almost ten minutes, Wang Kaixuan, who was walking in front, stopped and turned around to ask Chen Ziyan who had stood up.
What appeared in front of them at this time was a fork leading to two directions.
Chen Ziyan glanced at the fork in front of him, then looked at Hu Bayi at the back: "Come on, Old Hu, it's time for you to show off your skills."
He can pick out a hammer!
He now knows the knack of "observing mud marks and distinguishing grass color". No matter which fork in front of him is, it is covered with traces of the entry and exit of prairie otters, and there is no difference in his opinion.
Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan speechlessly: "Master Chen, you really think highly of me, Old Hu. There is no wind or water in this place, and you can't see the trend of the mountains. Even if I know some basic Feng Shui, there is nothing I can do." See where to go."
Although he knew that Chen Ziyan didn't mean it, this matter was really difficult for him.
If he could really know which way to go by just counting, then why risk his life to rob the tomb?
If you have the ability, wouldn't it be nice to set up a stall under the overpass?
Hearing Hu Bayi's words, Chen Ziyan also thought of this. Hu Bayi is really a newbie in the back-fighting business and has not yet mastered such high-end skills.
"You blame me for this, it's my negligence." Chen Ziyan laughed casually, and then said: "In that case, let's just choose a direction. If it doesn't work, we can at best take an unfair path and come back. "
There is no other way, but it is also the only way.
"Then I'll just choose whatever I want."
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he wanted to walk towards the left fork in the road, but he didn't know what happened. As soon as he took a step, he tripped and fell to the right fork in the road.
"Fat man, are you okay?"
Fortunately, Chen Ziyan behind him had quick eyes and quick hands. The moment Wang Kaixuan fell, he had already reached out to catch him.
He immediately lifted up his collar and pulled Wang Kaixuan up, who was about to fall to the ground.
"It's okay." Wang Kaixuan, who regained his balance, patted the dust on his body, looked at his feet strangely, and said doubtfully: "It's really weird, why do you feel like you got tripped?"
"Tumbled?"
When Chen Ziyan heard this, his eyes instantly became more serious.
He had already had doubts just now, feeling that something might be tempting them in some strange way. Now Wang Kaixuan's encounter at this fork in the road further confirmed his suspicions.
You have to know that for someone with a body like Wang Kaixuan's and moving at such a speed, falling down is purely a challenge to his size.
"Could it be a ghost trip?" Hu Bayi also noticed something was wrong and expressed his guess.
"Ghost trip? Lao Hu, do you mean this place is unclean?" Wang Kaixuan immediately became vigilant after hearing this.
He originally thought that this fall was a bit inexplicable, but now he finally found an explanation.
Chen Ziyan took a serious look at the broken sword at Wang Kaixuan's waist, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be caused by evil, otherwise the sword would not remain unchanged."
In view of what happened not long ago, they already know that when encountering evil spirits, the broken sword will undergo intuitive changes. This is why Wang Kaixuan is responsible for opening the way.
"It's true, then what's going on?" Wang Kaixuan noticed Chen Ziyan's gaze and picked up the broken sword and looked at it carefully.
"Is there a possibility that this broken knife can only defend against malicious behavior and will not block well-intentioned advice?" Hu Bayi looked at the broken knife and then at the flat bottom of the cave under his feet. expressed his guess.
"This thing shouldn't be that smart, right?" Wang Kaixuan didn't believe it. He thought this was a bit outrageous.
If that's the case, then wouldn't the rusty knife in his hand be the legendary magic weapon?
Hu Bayi explained: "It's not about intelligence, but there should be some kind of stress mechanism that we don't know about. This also explains why your knife didn't react when we touched the pair of child corpses. s reason."
"If this is really the case, then this should not stop the ghost from stumbling, but should show the way."
"That seems to be the case." Wang Kaixuan recalled that nothing happened when he was carrying the body of the buried boy, and he couldn't help but scratch his head.
Based on Hu Bayi's experience, they have now confirmed that it was the pair of boys who were causing trouble in the Bat Cave.
"There is some truth in what Lao Hu said." Chen Ziyan agreed with Hu Bayi's statement and said: "Whether it is the red beast or the soul body that Lao Hu has seen before, they are all completely unfamiliar to us. Things, so make bold guesses and verify carefully.”
Wang Kaixuan, who heard what Chen Ziyan meant, looked at the two of them: "Then let's take the road on the right?"
"Just go this way, but be careful." Hu Bayi said.
Chen Ziyan also nodded: "Since someone shows the way, no matter whether the ending is good or bad, we will definitely be able to find something."
None of the three people talking noticed that they had not considered the third option at this time, which was to evacuate right away!
The three people who made the decision immediately walked towards the fork on the right and continued towards the depths of the cave.
This time they did not encounter another fork, but they clearly felt the change in slope.
If it was originally a gentle slope, the road under their feet could already be called a steep slope.
The steepest section of the road has a gradient of at least fifty degrees.
But this was nothing to the three of them. Instead, they used the slope to speed up a bit.
