Even though I encountered many strange things along the way, no matter what kind of things they were, they were not as scary as the natural answer at this moment.
Looking at the confused but taken-for-granted expressions of Hu Bayi and others, Chen Ziyan felt a chill down his spine for a moment, as if he was surrounded by countless malicious glances.
This is no longer a simple perception deception, but a certain degree of cognitive modification or guidance!
Hu Bayi had regained his due sanity at this moment. He saw something from Chen Ziyan's reaction and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Master Chen, is there something wrong?"
He understood Chen Ziyan's character and knew that if there were no problems, he would not behave like this.
And looking at Chen Ziyan's solemn expression, this matter was probably not a small problem. He naturally wanted to find out what was going on.
"This..." Chen Ziyan didn't know what to say for a while. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Do you still remember the most real and urgent thoughts when you saw the vine group just now?"
Hu Bayi nodded naturally: "Remember, I still feel that it was a rare opportunity, and it would be a pity to miss it like this."
Wang Kaixuan teased from the side: "It's not too late for us to go back now!"
Chen Ziyan ignored the fat man, but stared at Hu Bayi and continued to ask: "Then do you still remember that you wanted to eat the contents of the rattan ball on the spot? Let me remind you, it is better to eat it raw Coming."
"The conditions are limited and the time is tight. The corpse cave we are chasing after will not give us time to bury the pot and make rice. This is purely out of necessity..." Hu Ba said a lot of words at once, but when he came to the end But it became slower and slower, and his face began to become serious. He looked at Chen Ziyan with some horror and asked: "How could I have such an idea? To directly eat a humanoid creature with no complete picture and unknown origin? And on the spot? And Or is it the most direct way to eat it raw?”
At this moment, being deliberately prompted by Chen Ziyan, and looking back on his thoughts at the time, Hu Bayi actually had a strange feeling. That was not what he should do at all!
It is true that if he encounters an extremely urgent situation, it is not impossible for him to do such a thing, but no matter how they look at it now, they have not fallen into that miserable situation.
Therefore, his idea of eating raw things in the vine balls indiscriminately seemed extremely inappropriate!
Not only was Hu Bayi looking shocked because he had figured this out, but the others were also as if enlightened at this moment, and they instantly figured out the key to it. They subconsciously looked at their companions beside them, and they all found it difficult to understand what they were thinking at that time.
Now they gradually realized what Chen Ziyan was feeling, and they all felt a chill all over their bodies.
Ding Sitian even touched the Eyeless Dragon Talisman she carried close to her body, but received no response at all.
After Shirley Yang understood the general situation of the matter, she vaguely guessed Chen Ziyan's thoughts. She frowned and asked, "Do you suspect that we were affected by some unknown force, so you came up with such an idea?"
Chen Ziyan did not hide anything and directly stated his guess: "Based on the information currently known, it is very likely that your knowledge has been misled."
"Silently guides our cognition..." Shirley Yang looked around subconsciously: "How is this possible?"
You must know that none of them are mentally strong people, but except for Chen Ziyan, everyone has been tricked unknowingly. If this kind of thing didn't really happen, she would not believe it anyway.
But precisely because of this, Shirley Yang is even more unbelievable.
She really couldn't understand what kind of power could do such a thing silently.
Wang Kaixuan also understood at this moment, and said a little impatiently: "We have been plotted together. Which turtle grandson is behind it!"
Wang Kaixuan was not happy with this kind of thing, but instead of finding out the inside story of the matter, he now wanted to find out the culprit. His fat man didn't have the habit of not fighting back when he was beaten.
"No one or no one..." Chen Ziyan hesitated and gave such an answer.
He really hasn't figured out what's going on yet. At most, he can only have a clue, and the accuracy of this clue has yet to be determined.
There was no way, he was present the whole time, but he didn't notice any signs, everything seemed to be the same as it should be.
"Could it be something in that vine that's causing trouble? I suspect it's probably a plant similar to a Venus flytrap, emitting some kind of pheromones to attract prey." Hu Bayi expressed his thoughts.
He doesn't have relevant memories like Chen Ziyan and can predict things in advance, so when he still doesn't know what is in the vine group, he naturally focuses his suspicion on the vine group itself.
"It's not impossible. Just like the illusion created by corpse-scented konjac, this is probably a more subtle way of induction." Ding Sitian agreed with his idea.
In her past experience, it was not that she had never encountered similar things. Although it was the first time she had seen something like this without any trace, there were still some plants similar to the corpse-scented konjac.
"Why don't we go back and have a look? If not, just burn the vine group with fire. No matter what the hell it is, it's possible that it can still be invulnerable to fire and water!" Wang Kaixuan said fiercely.
He felt that just setting a fire in that rock crevice would burn it to ashes regardless of who the culprit was.
Hearing the fat man's unreliable suggestion, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and quickly put an end to the topic:
"Let's find out what exactly happened when we come back to get the weapon. It's better for us to leave here first."
That thousand-year-old wood root is a real treasure, and it can't be burned in a fire like this.
Chen Ziyan is also planning to transplant it back and use it with the Tai Suixu harvested previously to create a special medicinal material supply base for his team!
Although others were puzzled, they also knew that Chen Ziyan was right. Not only was there a corpse hole chasing him behind him, but the rising water level was also a threat that could not be ignored.
The most important thing for them to do now is to hurry up and rush to a safe area.
Considering this, they had no choice but to put their doubts in their hearts and follow Chen Ziyan to continue climbing up the plank road towards the entrance of the gourd cave where they came from.
Fortunately, the subsequent journey went smoothly without any twists and turns. It didn't take long for the group to reach the plank road below the entrance of the Calabash Cave.
Due to the heavy rain, the waterfall at the entrance of the cave was now more turbulent, but it was nothing to Chen Ziyan. With the help of professional tools and family skills, he easily entered the cave through the rock wall.
