When thinking of keeping the other party awake, the first thing Chen Ziyan thought of was why the other party suddenly regained consciousness. In his opinion, this was the key.
Based on the words of the lanky monster in front of him, it is not difficult to tell that he initially regarded Chen Ziyan as the Zhang family, and he showed signs of recovery only after hearing the word Zhang family.
Combining these, Chen Ziyan came to the conclusion that the original consciousness of the slender monster in front of him had not completely disappeared, but had just fallen into self-slumber.
However, Chen Ziyan did not fully attribute his words. He felt that the reason behind this matter should not be that simple. You must know that this slender monster has been on the top of the ancient building for so long, and it will definitely not wake up casually.
So after comprehensive consideration, Chen Ziyan set his target on his own bloodline. He felt that the 'Zhang family' might be on the one hand, and his own bloodline should also play a certain role. This could explain why this lanky monster... Just stare at yourself when you regain consciousness.
To put it simply, the blood in Chen Ziyan's body awakened the other party, but after the other party barely regained consciousness, he realized that Chen Ziyan was not a descendant of Qilin.
This can also explain why after seeing this, the lanky monster's barely recovered consciousness began to fade again.
"I am indeed not from the Zhang family, but I know the Zhang family." After figuring out the connection, Chen Ziyan immediately said, "I know the real Zhang Qiling."
Based on his understanding of the Zhang family, it may not be possible to say anything else at this time, so it would be better to just give him a dose of strong news.
After all, the Zhang family has formed an obsession with Zhang Qiling, otherwise the clan leaders of all generations would not be called by this name.
It can be seen from the other party's clothing style that the other party must have been here a long time ago. He must have never experienced the automatic disintegration of the Zhang family. In other words, he does not know the inside story of Zhang Qiling, so it is worth a gamble.
"……Zhang Qi Ling……"
As expected, Chen Ziyan's obsession with the name Zhang Qiling was a powerful weapon against the Zhang family.
Even if he had completely transformed into a monster, it was no exception. After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, the remaining reason of the lanky monster took over again and began to repeat it in a hoarse and vague voice.
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan's eyes flashed with joy, this result was exactly what he wanted.
It seemed that the lanky monster's remaining sanity could still be maintained for a while. Chen Ziyan felt that this should be enough for him to get some valuable information.
Chen Ziyan did not waste time and asked immediately: "If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you might as well tell them. Even if we can't help, we can help convey them to other Zhang family members who know you."
After the recent incident, Chen Ziyan could see that although the lanky monster in front of him was lacking in sanity, he still had basic thinking ability, so he decisively gave up on the established strategy and began to switch to the method of interest exchange.
Of course, if he could successfully pull off the trick, he wouldn't refuse.
Wu Laogou couldn't tell what Chen Ziyan was thinking, so he also followed beside him and said: "This... this senior can rest assured that even if we can't do what you told us, we will definitely be able to convey it to the Zhang family. people."
He also did not make a sweeping gesture, because that would not be easily convincing.
It is better to focus on conveying it. Although the Zhang family in the other party's era was sometimes weak, the energy it controlled was still extremely huge. The person in front of him had no idea about the changes in the later period, so conveying it would make the lanky monster believe it even more.
"Ancient... clan..."
But the lanky monster had no intention of paying any attention to Wu Laogou, and still stared at Chen Ziyan.
Ancient tribe?
Wu Laogou didn't care about the other party's rudeness, but slowly chewed on the title.
Ancient tribe... This is a very evocative title!
"Ancient tribe?"
Chen Ziyan was also a little surprised, but he was better than Wu Laogou, because he had long known that he and the Zhang family belonged to the same type of people, but he had never known that people like them had such a unified name.
This title is easy to understand. Obviously people like them with ancient blood are called ancient tribes.
This is also a gain for Chen Ziyan, because he may deal with similar beings in the future, and there is no harm in knowing more.
Just like when he met the blue-robed Tibetan people in the snowy area, if he took the initiative to say the name Ancient Clan, he might be able to get some more words out of the other person's mouth.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan continued to say to the lanky monster: "I think you don't have much time. If you have anything to explain, you should do it as soon as possible."
He inferred this based on the actual situation, but it should be able to lead to something.
"Danger...snake...leave..."
After the lanky monster said these words one after another, he paused for a while and then slowly spit out another word:
"……letter!"
"Letter?" Chen Ziyan pondered slightly and began to look back and forth at the other party's torn clothes.
He could probably figure out what it meant. It was just to warn him that the snakes here were dangerous and wanted him to leave as soon as possible.
But this 'letter' spoken after silence is a bit thought-provoking.
It's a pity that no matter how Chen Ziyan pressed him, the lanky monster in front of him stopped talking. Looking at the increasingly crazy color in the other person's eyes, Chen Ziyan knew that the other person's sanity was on the verge of collapse.
"Little friend Chen, let him be freed." Wu Laogou, who had been watching the lanky monster from the side, whispered to Chen Ziyan when he saw this situation.
It is not difficult to tell from the changes in his eyes that the opponent's few sanity is quickly disappearing, and he will probably become a monster who can't think again soon, so it is better to take this opportunity to give the opponent a ride.
Anyway, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that the monster in front of him had a chance to recover. No, there should be a chance to wake up.
"Yes." Chen Ziyan nodded lightly when he heard this.
He knew that Wu Laogou was right. Now, death was a kind of relief for this lanky monster.
You can tell by looking at the other person's appearance that he may not be deliberately indulging his evil thoughts, and he may have the same idea deep down in his heart.
After all, no one wants to live like a monster. What's the difference between that and death?
And judging from the monster's attitude, Chen Ziyan knew that the other party did not completely believe in him, but now he had no other choice but to give it a try.
The so-called letter is the test given by the Slender Monster.
Otherwise, why not tell the location of the letter?
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Ziyan silently gave an order to Wushuang Ghost, asking him to send the former kindred spirit before him on his final journey.
After receiving Chen Ziyan's order, Wushuang Ghost strangled the slender monster's slender neck without hesitation.
After confirming that the other party had completely lost signs of life, Chen Ziyan began to search for the whereabouts of the letter.
But just as he thought, this was not an easy task. He rummaged through all the clothes on the body of the lanky monster, but could not get anything he wanted.
Brother Wu said with some doubts: "Logically speaking, shouldn't something like trust be carried with you at all times? By the way, Xiaoyou Chen, did you see anything different when you were up there?"
He thought that this lanky monster had always been on top of the ancient building, and then he thought of this possibility.
Although he went up in person, judging from Chen Ziyan's actions just now, the space at the top of the ancient building next to it should be quite large. It would not be difficult to hide a letter if he wanted to.
Chen Ziyan recalled briefly and shook his head: "No, there is nothing wrong with it."
After his memory was enhanced, although he could not be said to have a photographic memory, his observation ability was very strong, so even though he only glanced at it in a hurry, he was very sure that there was nothing special about the ancient building.
"Then where is this letter?" Wu Laogou muttered in a low voice.
But just as he finished speaking, the confusion on his face suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something, and he showed a thoughtful look: "Could it be that kind of special letter?"
"What special letter?" Chen Ziyan asked.
Wu Laogou said softly: "I remembered a past incident. When I was working with Lord Fo, I once learned a secret, that is, the Zhang family has a special kind of letter, which is also used as a desperate letter."
Speaking of which, this happened at the right time, otherwise Brother Wu wouldn't know about it, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
"Death letter?" After Chen Ziyan pondered for a moment, he felt that he was inseparable.
He knew that the lanky monster only said one word of faith because he wanted to test them and reveal their authenticity.
If they knew about the desperate letter, it would mean that Chen Ziyan was not lying, and they would naturally be able to help him send back this long-overdue letter. If they didn't know about the existence of the desperate letter, then naturally there would be nothing else to say.
What made Chen Ziyan curious was what the so-called fatal letter from the Zhang family was about. He had never heard a word of it in his previous life.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, most of his understanding of the Zhang family came from Zhang Qiling, and a being of Zhang Qiling's level obviously didn't need this kind of letter.
"That's a special kind of letter. To put it bluntly, it's a way of leaving a message that can only be used when dying. It uses one's own body as the letter paper to leave the final words or valuable information." Wu Laogou squatted down and cut the lanky monster with a dagger. clothes, while explaining to Chen Ziyan.
Using your own body as stationery? This is really the right name.
Chen Ziyan thought to himself, but he didn't say anything more, but patiently watched Wu Laogou's movements.
It didn't take long for Brother Wu to peel off the ill-fitting clothes on the lanky monster.
But on his pale and dry skin, Chen Ziyan did not see any writing, only wounds of varying depths.
Wu Laogou noticed Chen Ziyan's doubts, pointed at the wounds on the lanky monster's chest, and said with a smile: "Little friend Chen, this is the letter of death."
Chen Ziyan glanced at the intricate wounds and asked with some uncertainty: "Fifth Master, are you sure you read it correctly? Why do I think these are simple wounds?"
"Don't worry, I still have this bit of vision. This is indeed the Zhang family's fatal letter." Wu Laogou said with determination.
He had watched as Adjutant Zhang deciphered the secret message, so he was no stranger to this special writing.
You must know that these scars may be just scattered wounds in other eyes, but in the eyes of those who know the way, there are special patterns.
In order to relieve Chen Ziyan's doubts, Wu Laogou pointed out the fonts hidden in it when he was deciphering:
"Not every one of these injuries is useful. In fact, most of them are just a cover-up to deceive others. The most valuable ones are the wounds that are deep and visible."
"Is this an ancient text that has been lost in ancient times?" Chen Ziyan asked suddenly as his eyes followed Brother Wu's sliding fingers.
Because he was surprised to find that he actually recognized the ancient characters that were pointed out.
In fact, Chen Ziyan's Xiling inheritance is very majestic, but the brain's acceptance content is limited, so when he faces unfamiliar things many times, he can activate the corresponding knowledge in the inheritance.
At first, Chen Ziyan didn't notice anything was wrong, but when Wu Laogou pointed out a few words, information about the text automatically emerged in Chen Ziyan's mind.
According to the records in the inheritance, this is indeed some kind of ancient writing that has been lost. However, during a certain visit to the tomb of the Zhang family's ancestors, records of this type of ancient writing were accidentally discovered.
After some sorting, I decided to use this kind of text, which looked very messy at first glance, as a safeguard for the desperate letter.
"It's hard to say if it's lost, but it must be something very ancient." Wu Laogou said while deciphering it.
However, what he didn't expect was that after having the corresponding reference object, Chen Ziyan's deciphering speed was much faster than him, and he had quickly translated the content of the letter.
What's disappointing is that this desperate letter that was deliberately left on his body did not have the content that Chen Ziyan wanted. To be precise, it was just a letter home from a dying person.
Wu Laogou didn't know that Chen Ziyan also knew this kind of ancient writing, so he repeated it aloud after translating it, and then sighed: "Unfortunately, there is nothing we need here."
Chen Ziyan did not reveal that he could understand the letter, but pretended to verify it, and then nodded slightly in agreement: "It is indeed a pity, but this is also human nature."
He planned to hold back and see if Wu Laogou would try to trick him later.
No matter how this family member got to this underground space, Chen Ziyan believed that he would not be alone, so it is likely that he will find similar monsters or similar desperate letters later.
The time will come when their 'friendship' will be tested, and Chen Ziyan is looking forward to it.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan said directly: "We might as well go deeper. I don't think he will be the only one here."
"It makes sense." Wu Laogou glanced at the lanky monster that had lost its life, nodded and said: "As far as I know, except for a few experts in the Zhang family, no one else will act alone."
The implication is of course agreement. (End of chapter)
