Afterwards, Chen Ziyan and the others began to organize an evacuation.
Although a simple fortification was built here, all the black-faced turtles nearby should have been cleared away.
But don’t be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the unexpected!
So spending the night here is not a good choice. It is better to return to the ground and feel at ease.
In the next two days, Chen Ziyan kept repeating this routine, finding a suitable location, cleaning out the black-faced cockroaches entrenched there, and then using local materials to build simple fortifications and using Wang Kaixuan as bait to catch fish. The people nearby have dark faces.
This kind of operation undoubtedly makes their settlement work a lot easier.
Of course, they also encountered even larger black-faced turtles, but relying on the advantage of the terrain, they did not cause any trouble to them.
The size of these big guys is destined to prevent them from entering relatively narrow underground passages.
In the process, Chen Ziyan also gained a deeper understanding of creatures like black-faced cockroaches.
Their social structure is very unique, some resemble ants and bees!
Just like those giant black clams with human faces, they basically never leave their area and usually survive on the support of spiders.
From this we can speculate that they are probably like ants or bees, and the core of the population is the so-called spider queen.
If this is the case, it would be good news for Chen Ziyan.
In this way, he only needs to kill the spider queen responsible for production, which means that most of the group has been destroyed.
"Master Chen, do you think these big guys are guarding some treasure here?"
After studying the body of a large black-faced human-faced creature that was nearly a person tall for a while, Wang Kaixuan approached Chen Ziyan and asked.
He felt that based on the current situation, he was afraid that the black-faced people he encountered later would become bigger and bigger.
He is familiar with this routine. It is mentioned in the story book, it is the guardian beast of the treasure.
This aroused his enthusiasm. He wanted to give up rest and pushed inside overnight.
Chen Ziyan glanced at this guy speechlessly and reminded: "Have you forgotten, these black-faced bastards are tomb-guarding beasts?"
He remembered that he mentioned this matter, but it seemed that the fat man did not listen carefully at that time.
"The tomb guard beast..." Wang Kaixuan's high emotions came to an abrupt end.
He remembered that this was really the case.
These black-faced beasts are the tomb-guarding beasts guarding the ancient tomb.
Hu Bayi came over and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with what you said, Fatty. Isn't this ancient tomb a treasure in a sense, especially if you can use this human-faced black turtle as a tomb-guarding beast? That's not what you think about it. Ordinary people.”
Wang Kaixuan said in a waning tone, "Hey, aren't you looking for an unexpected surprise?"
In Wang Kaixuan's view, the ancient tomb was already in their possession, and it was not worth being happy about.
"who?"
At this moment, a sharp shout came, interrupting the conversation of several people.
They quickly looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and saw a militiaman holding a gun and watching the passage in front of him warily.
It was obvious that the sound was coming from him.
When he walked over and took a look, Chen Ziyan recognized the militiaman. It was Pan Ziyi who was favored by them.
"What's going on?" Hu Bayi looked at the dark passage and asked quickly.
He heard clearly who Pan Ziyi was talking about just now!
This meant that what he saw just now was not a black turtle with a human face, but a humanoid creature.
As for whether he is a human being, it is not yet certain. After all, there is nothing evil going on under the ground.
Sure enough, it was not what Hu Bayi thought. The next second he heard Pan Ziyi say: "I just saw a figure in this passage and poked his head out."
Chen Ziyan asked: "Human figure? Did you really see it clearly?"
He didn't think much about it, but immediately thought of the people who came down before them.
A few days have passed. Even they have been active underground for two days, but they haven't even seen a shadow of that group of people. This is obviously unreasonable.
Even if some of them were left in the Ghost Tomb by Wushuang Ghost, they would be squatting there with him.
But not everyone can walk there, and the black-faced people along the way will definitely have to pay tolls.
It is understandable to say that there are no living people. They may have been packed up and taken back to their lair by the black-faced worms, and they became their food reserves. But now there is not even a corpse, which is really strange. .
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Chen Ziyan doesn't think that all people with dark faces believe in the principle of sustainable development.
They should fill their stomachs first and then take back the remaining prey.
But now that Pan Ziyi saw the figure, a possibility emerged.
That is, the masters among the previous group of people were able to deal with the dark-faced bastards lurking underground, so they were not defeated.
But because the environment here was too complicated, they couldn't find a way out until they came down.
The sound of gunfire gave the other party guidance, but because there were so many people on their side, those people just hid and watched in secret and did not dare to take any action.
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Ziyan felt that this was very possible. After all, no one stipulated that there should be no masters on the opposite side.
While he was thinking, Hu Bayi had already entered the passage to take a look.
After returning, he said solemnly: "There are indeed people. I found some footprints inside, and judging from the scale, there are quite a few."
As a professional soldier, this level of investigation is just child's play for him.
Hearing this, the corners of Chen Ziyan's mouth twitched slightly.
This is really a good thing but not a bad thing. Just when I thought that the other party might not have been tricked by me, and there were still a large number of people left, I got solid evidence in the blink of an eye.
Wang Kaixuan's expression became more solemn: "If this is the case, then we have to be more careful next time."
As the saying goes, it may be difficult to achieve something, but it is much easier to do something bad.
Even if these people think with their heels, they can guess that they are full of malice towards them, especially now that they are still in a state of darkness and darkness, it is not fun to be tricked.
"Take everyone with you and let's go to the next location!" After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan said.
He originally planned to leave some manpower to clean up the place, but now there is no need.
If you keep too few people, you're afraid of being attacked by surprise, and if you keep too many people, you're afraid of delaying things, so it's better for everyone to act together.
It can also be seen from what happened just now that with so many of them together, the other party could only spy in secret and did not dare to make the slightest move.
To a certain extent, this can be considered a form of oppression.
But what Chen Ziyan didn't know was that things were not what he thought.
Even...from the beginning, this matter has been beyond his control.
In an underground space not far from them, more than twenty people were waiting for something in silence.
With the sound of rustling footsteps, a sturdy young man arrived here.
He walked up to a middle-aged man who was guarded by these people in the center, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Master Jiu, they are almost reaching the lair of the black-faced beast."
This middle-aged man was wearing a crisp suit, and even in a place like this, his hair was still meticulously taken care of.
Hearing this, his frown softened slightly, and his dry and hoarse voice spoke: "In this case, our journey ahead will be easier."
