But no matter what happened, it is a conclusive fact that Huahu successfully completed the task.
Although Wang Kaixuan focused part of his attention on the cliff, more attention was placed on Chen Ziyan beside him, so he also noticed his changes. When he saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Chen, Did you discover something?"
To be honest, Wang Kaixuan feels a little guilty now, feeling that he has become a complete drag this time.
Because not only did he not help, but he was also suspected of causing trouble.
Chen Ziyan didn't know Wang Kaixuan's complicated mood at this time, and he didn't have the intention to pay attention to it. Hearing this, he just pointed to the cliff above and said, "Fat man, look at that."
"Huh?" Wang Kaixuan immediately focused his attention and looked over, but found nothing. He asked puzzledly: "Mr. Chen, there is nothing."
"It's okay if there's nothing." Chen Ziyan said with a smile.
"It's right that there's nothing?" Wang Kaixuan repeated subconsciously, and then he suddenly realized: "Yes, that's right, it's just that there is nothing. Look at my brain, why didn't I think of this?"
After Chen Ziyan's prompting, Wang Kaixuan also realized that if Hua Hu's actions really went wrong and alarmed the wither owls on the cliff in advance, then the nearby sky would probably be filled with fluttering wither owls by now. , how could it be as clean as it is now.
This shows what?
This shows that even if the task is not completed, nothing will happen to the Huahu who goes up.
"He's coming down." At this moment, Wang Kaixuan heard Chen Ziyan say this.
This prevented him from thinking too much and quickly looked towards the cliff again.
With the help of the moonlight, Wang Kaixuan soon saw a black spot swooping down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This made Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but murmur in his heart, is Huahu really still a human being?
He felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat beyond his understanding. It was hard to imagine that this was the speed that a person could achieve.
Fortunately, he was going down the mountain. If he were going up the mountain at this speed, Wang Kaixuan's expression would probably have collapsed.
Seeing Wang Kaixuan's surprised look, Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said: "Actually, both Huahu and Wushuang have undergone special training, so on the terrain that suits their performance, they can show some abilities that are far beyond ordinary people. ability."
He didn't say this casually, he meant it intentionally.
Chen Ziyan had long thought about saying this more often, so that others could adapt to the abnormalities displayed by his puppets through subtle influence.
After all, there will still be a long period of contact in the future, and the number of his puppet armors will not stop growing. After others accept this setting, they will automatically substitute what he said when they encounter the same situation in the future.
Maybe you won't notice anything once or twice, but after it happens more times and it leaves a fixed impression deep in your heart, you will get used to it in the future.
What's more, what they have to face next is even more unbelievable. Put together with things that can break the worldview, this little specialness revealed by the puppet armor is really nothing.
Especially the supernatural creatures that we will encounter in the future have even more extreme abilities, and those are the abilities that are truly difficult to explain.
While Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, the swooping Huahu had already arrived in front of them at an unimaginable speed.
And even though he was so fast, he stopped easily after landing.
When Huahu stood up from lying on the ground, the first thing Chen Ziyan saw was the heavy blood stain on his front.
At this moment, Huahu's entire chest was almost soaked in blood, and some traces of blood could even be seen.
Wang Kaixuan naturally saw this situation, and his expression immediately changed: "What's going on? Look where it's hurt."
Based on his experience, he knew that if the blood belonged to Huahu, the wound would definitely be fatal.
However, Chen Ziyan didn't pay much attention to it, because he had already seen that, even if XZ was
Hua Hu looked like a blood gourd, but his clothes were not damaged at all. It was obvious that the blood had another source.
Stopping Wang Kaixuan who wanted to check Huahu's wounds, Chen Ziyan said: "Fat man, look carefully, the blood is not Huahu's."
"It's true." Wang Kaixuan was actually concerned and confused, and he only reacted after being reminded like this.
"Come on, we passed by a small pool just now. Let's go there to wash up first." After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan said.
But we can't let Huahu go back like this. Let's not mention the image for now. Just walking in the jungle with such a strong smell of blood may lead to some monsters and ghosts.
Moreover, Chen Ziyan could more or less guess where the blood stains came from. It was probably Hua Hu who changed the method of killing the withered owl to eating.
But this is nothing, and the withered owl can be of benefit to the flower fox, so it can be regarded as making the best use of it.
Wang Kaixuan also understood this and immediately nodded in agreement: "That's true, we have to wash our hands first before talking."
Anyway, their clothes are waterproof. If you just rinse the outside, you don't even need to go through the drying process.
After arriving at a nearby waterhole to wash off the blood stains on their bodies, the three of them took a short rest and returned to the temporary camp without too much delay.
Thanks to Huahu's early action, when Chen Ziyan and the others returned to the camp, the sky had not completely cleared up yet.
The primeval jungle on the eve of dawn is no longer as dead as night, but there is still not much breath of life.
And the moment Chen Ziyan and the others appeared in the sight of everyone in the camp.
It happened that a ray of morning glow pierced the horizon and fell on this strange jungle.
And as this ray of light fell, the entire jungle seemed to come alive. The chirping of various insects and birds sounded from time to time, as if all the monsters and monsters were hiding.
Hu, who had been paying attention to the direction in which Chen Ziyan and the others were leaving, finally felt relieved after seeing them all coming back.
In fact, not long after Chen Ziyan and others set off, he had already remembered that Wang Kaixuan was afraid of heights, so he was always worried that unnecessary changes would occur.
"Young! What is this? It smells so good!"
Before Wang Kaixuan stepped into the camp, he smelled a refreshing aroma. After scanning around, he fixed his sight on the marching pot on the fire.
Although he didn't exert much effort this time, the little inventory in his stomach had been consumed long ago, and now he was in urgent need of replenishing energy.
"I just made some soup." Ding Sitian, who was controlling the heat nearby, said with a smile.
When she was looking for medicine, she also brought back some wild vegetables, edible mushrooms and the like that she found along the way, so she made this pot of soup.
"That's good." Wang Kaixuan's Adam's apple couldn't help but move, saying that it was great.
Seeing that this guy was fine, Hu ignored him for the time being. He looked at Chen Ziyan and asked, "Mr. Chen, did this trip go well?"
In fact, through Wang Kaixuan's performance, Hu already has some clues, but if you want to know the exact answer, it's better to ask.
Chen Ziyan chuckled and nodded: "It went very smoothly. Even if there are still some fish that slipped through the net, it is no longer a problem."
He didn't talk about the ups and downs of the operation. Anyway, things were over. Talking about them would have no other effect except to make them miserable.
As the actual leader of the team, it is not suitable for him to do such things as misfortune.
By the time a few people had filled their bellies, the sky was completely bright.
Hu shook off the ashes, looked at Chen Ziyan and asked, "Master Chen, should we go there now, or wait until noon?"
After what happened last night, although he didn't say it with his mouth, he already regarded the couple's banyan tree as something unclean in his heart.
Therefore, subconsciously, I think there are two best times to deal with it. One is the early morning, which can bring the power of purple energy from the east, and the other is noon, when the sun is the brightest.
It can be said
These two time periods belong to the kind of weather that is most harmful to demons and monsters.
After hearing this, Chen Ziyan thought for a moment and said, "We didn't have a good rest last night, so we are not in a hurry. Why don't we go there at noon? One afternoon is enough for us to do things."
Originally, he planned to go there now, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. Although several people seemed to be in good spirits, he knew in his heart that in fact, no one had a good rest last night, so he had better rest a little before talking.
After all, what we have to face next is that the high priest who presented the king was already not easy to deal with according to the original plot. If there are any unexpected changes, wouldn't it be even more difficult to deal with.
Considering this possibility, Chen Ziyan thought it would be better to make more preparations.
"That's okay, just take a little more rest." Hu didn't object.
Although the two time periods are similar to him, if he really wanted to make a comparison, he would prefer to go there at noon.
In fact, it was said to be a good rest, but in reality it was only a few hours.
By eleven o'clock at noon, several people got out of their sleeping bags.
Because they didn't move much in the morning, they didn't go to eat anything. After a brief wash, they went straight to the couple's banyan tree with their friends.
"It's silent now."
After arriving at the banyan tree where the couple lived, Wang Kaixuan immediately circled the tree twice.
But coincidentally, just as he said these words, the weird knocking sound sounded again.
The moment he heard the sound, Wang Kaixuan, who was still a little stunned, was like a cat with exploded hair. His strong body suddenly retreated and ran two meters away in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, I'm just here waiting for your fat man." A somewhat frightened Wang Kaixuan looked at the tree not far away and cursed angrily.
After seeing that Wang Kaixuan was fine, Hu frowned and looked at the banyan tree in front of the couple, then looked at Chen Ziyan and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you think is going on?"
Deep down in his heart, he had already concluded that there was something strange in the tree itself, or in other words, there was something strange in the tree, but he didn't expect that there could still be monsters in broad daylight.
According to what he knew, in this situation, either his prediction was wrong or the evil spirit here was stronger than he thought.
Chen Ziyan was also looking at the tree. After hearing his question, he said, "This is actually a good thing. Without this sound, we wouldn't be able to follow the sound to the source."
He actually didn't care much about it because he knew exactly what the sound was about.
Hu thought for a while and nodded: "That's true."
"The sound came from inside the tree." Shirley Yang had been listening attentively, and now she revealed her findings.
"Tree body?"
Hearing his words, everyone looked at the thick tree body.
But before they could get closer to observe, they heard a series of "kacha" sounds, and the couple's banyan tree in front of them split into two halves.
The two halves of the split tree body are at a 45° angle, like a triggered mechanism.
This sudden scene left several people stunned, but only Chen Ziyan, who had expected it, calmed down.
Several people looked up and looked inside the cracked tree, feeling even more shocked. After a while, Wang Kaixuan asked in surprise: "What... thing is this?"
But when he saw clearly what was inside the tree, the guy's tone suddenly changed: "Huh? It looks like it's quite valuable. We may have really made a fortune this time!"
The others didn't respond, they all stared at the things inside the tree.
A dark red object was exposed from the cracked tree body, which was in the shape of a regular rectangle, with the top two sides being ground into rounded corners.
At this moment, the sun happened to shine on it, giving it a faint halo, which looked extremely dazzling.
Under the sunlight, they could see more clearly. They saw that the thing inside the tree was not dark red, but a translucent one.
A transparent material container. The material looks like jade or crystal, but there is a crimson liquid inside, so it gives people a dark red feeling.
After seeing this clearly, even Hu couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "What is this?"
Wang Kaixuan, as the most enthusiastic person in the team to find treasures, immediately wanted to go up and check it out: "This thing is probably worth a lot of money, let the fat man go and have a good look at it."
But before he could walk over, he was grabbed by Hu.
"What are you observing? Just be honest with me."
Although the fat man was a free-spirited guy, he listened to Hu's words, so despite his reluctance, he obediently took back his steps.
But it's one thing to stop moving. Wang Kaixuan's mouth didn't stop at all. He stared at the things in the tree and asked repeatedly: "Does this look like a coffin? Is it jade or crystal? Why is it such a weird color? ? It’s quite similar to that chicken blood stone.”
Everyone else was looking at this thing intently and paid no attention to Wang Kaixuan. Only Chen Ziyan recalled it and said, "This should be a coffin made of Tibetan heaven jade."
"Tibetan Tian Jade?" Hu Mengran looked at Chen Ziyan and asked in confusion: "How can it be Tibetan Tian Jade? Isn't Burmese jade more common near Yunnan?"
Chen Ziyan shook his head: "That's not clear. Maybe this Tibetan Heavenly Jade has some special effects, but I prefer that this jade has nothing special, it's just a coincidence."
