Standing on the ancient building, Chen Ziyan could not see Wu Laogou's expression, but he knew from his actions that his plan to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger was successful.
Although he couldn't let the old fox below just obey his orders, he still had the initiative in his next actions in his hands.
The most obvious benefit of this is that there is no need to worry about unnecessary disputes over interests.
Wu Laogou was not ignorant of this. He had already figured out Chen Ziyan's purpose after seeing the lanky monster being subdued.
However, he was not too surprised by this kind of forceful intimidation. This kind of thing was very common in his long underground working career. The only difference was that he used to intimidate others, but this time he fell into passivity.
After calming down his turbulent mood for a while, Wu Laogou looked up and asked, "Little friend Chen, how do you think we should deal with this monster?"
As a veteran who has been in the world for decades, Wu Laogou knows what it means to make a prompt decision, so after making a decision in his heart, he immediately expressed his attitude to Chen Ziyan.
His words seemed to be asking, but both of them knew that they were actively lowering their status.
Chen Ziyan just wanted to confirm the initiative, but had no intention of overly manipulating Wu Laogou, so when he heard this, he smiled and said:
"Fifth Master has rich experience in the world. I wonder what you saw?"
While talking, Chen Ziyan didn't look down, and simply jumped down.
Seeing Chen Ziyan landing easily, Wu Laogou further confirmed his suspicion. Chen Ziyan threw the lanky monster down just to show off his muscles, otherwise he would definitely be able to kill this guy from above.
"I can see something." Wu Laogou pointed to the slender monster held down by the Wushuang Ghost without holding it, and said: "This style of clothing is not surprising, it should come from the coastal areas of the previous dynasty. "
Chen Ziyan nodded, and he agreed with this. Although the clothes on the slender monster were somewhat damaged, the general style could still be seen, with some early Western hunting attire.
It's just that he didn't expect this in the coastal area, but after hearing Brother Wu say it, Chen Ziyan quickly realized what was going on.
Hunting attire is indeed more suitable for activities such as going to the fields than ordinary robes and mandarin jackets, but at that time, Western clothing was not widely popularized and was indeed more common only in coastal trade areas.
"Fifth Master is saying that this monster is a human being?" Chen Ziyan asked.
Mountain elf monsters don't know how to wear clothes, so it's easy to draw this out.
"Yes." Wu Laogou nodded lightly: "Although this dress is a little damaged, it can be seen that it was indeed worn on the body before, and it was not worn like a monkey."
Before Chen Ziyan could respond, Wu Laogou revealed another discovery he made: "Little friend Chen, look at this monster's right hand."
This is a problem Wu Laogou accidentally discovered when he was studying the clothes on the monster.
Chen Ziyan followed Wu Laogou's guidance, and his eyes that were still a little unconcerned instantly froze.
Because the slender monster was very long and narrow as a whole, he didn't pay attention to such details at all. But at this moment, he was shocked to find that the right hand of the monster that was growing slender had two fingers that were a bit too long.
"Zhang family?" Chen Ziyan looked at those two special fingers and slowly said these three words.
As far as he knew, there were only two types of people with such characteristics in the world. One was the former Faqiu Tianguan, and the other was the Zhang family who had obtained the secret technique of Faqiu.
Faqiu Tiangong Chen Ziyan did not consider it, because this lineage has long existed in name only, and even if there are descendants of Sansui, they may not still master this secret technique. After all, this is a boy's skill that needs to be practiced since childhood.
So Chen Ziyan directly targeted the Zhang family. It has to be said that in the past few hundred years, such slender fingers can be regarded as a unique family inheritance.
Wu Laogou also agreed with this conjecture: "It's very possible."
Speaking of which, he was no stranger to the Zhang family. Although he had never come into contact with the mysterious head family, he still had many interactions with the people under Zhang Dafo.
In fact, after discovering these special two fingers, the first thing he thought of was the Zhang family.
"If it's the Zhang family, then it needs to be checked carefully." Chen Ziyan looked at the lanky monster and whispered.
He didn't take this thing too seriously before. After all, it's not an exaggeration to see any weird things in the underground world. But if this monster is the result of a mutation from the Zhang family, this matter is worth studying. .
Chen Ziyan knew very well that the orthodox members of the Zhang family may have high or low concentration, but they all have Qilin blood flowing in their bodies, and their resistance to abnormality is unimaginable to ordinary people. If even they were trapped here, they would still be alienated. Becoming such a monster undoubtedly shows that there is something extremely dangerous hidden in this underground space.
Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou, who were immersed in their thoughts, did not notice that after they said the words "Zhang family", the lanky monster's struggle began to slow down, and in the end it gave up the struggle completely.
After the crazy look in his eyes faded, the lanky monster who was held down slowly raised his head, looked at Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou and asked suddenly.
"Hey... you... who are you..."
The voice was extremely hoarse, as if it was squeezed out of the throat.
The monster suddenly spoke, which naturally startled Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou, but they both had very good psychological qualities, so they recovered in just a moment.
After realizing what had happened, Chen Ziyan quickly stepped forward, came to the lanky monster and asked, "Are you still conscious?"
He knew from the clothes on the other party that this monster was once a human being, but he didn't expect that the other party could still wake up.
"It's very confusing... Zhang family... wake me up..." the lanky monster said, staring at Chen Ziyan.
When Chen Ziyan received this response, he knew that the person in front of him was indeed the Zhang family, otherwise he would not have been awakened by his simple word 'Zhang family'.
"Why are you here? What is the purpose of coming here, and how did you become like this?"
After confirming that the other party could communicate, Chen Ziyan directly asked all the doubts in his heart.
He was afraid that there was no time limit for the alienated Zhang family in front of him to wake up. If that happened, he had to ask quickly.
"You are not...the Zhang family..." However, the lanky monster did not answer him. Instead, he stared at him for a while and then suddenly said this.
And after he finished speaking, the suppressed madness in his eyes emerged again, and it seemed that he was about to return to the previous state.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan's brain immediately began to work rapidly, thinking about what to do to keep the other party in this sober state.
He had no chance of awakening the remaining sanity of the other party again. (End of chapter)
