In order to prevent the lanky monster's body from being destroyed by underground creatures after they left, Chen Ziyan planned to put it back on the ancient building.
But just when he asked Wushuang Ghost to pick up the body, he suddenly made an unexpected discovery.
I saw a very obvious bulge on the back of the lanky monster, or more precisely on the spine, giving people the feeling of a spinal mutation.
"etc!"
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan quickly called out Wushuang Ghost and went forward to investigate carefully.
After looking at the unusual back of the slender monster for a while, Chen Ziyan looked at Wu Laogou who was following him and asked in a low voice: "Fifth Master, what do you think?"
"This doesn't look like a spine, it looks like a whole bone." Wu Laogou said.
Because it was covered by flesh, he couldn't clearly see what was going on under the texture, so there was a bit of hesitation in his tone.
But Chen Ziyan knew one thing clearly, that is, the spine of this slender monster was probably what Wu Laogou said. It was not like an ordinary spine, but a complete bone.
This can still be seen even if it is covered with skin and flesh.
He didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the dark shadow that was difficult to conceal, Chen Ziyan felt a familiar feeling in his heart.
But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember where this familiar feeling came from.
"How about we take a look?" Chen Ziyan asked, turning his eyes slightly.
This slender monster was mutated from a human, which means there must be something wrong with it inside. This is why Chen Ziyan instructed the Wushuang Ghost to kill it in such a 'gentle' way. If he followed the Wushuang Ghost's behavior, now this The lanky monster An Neng has a whole body shape.
So now if you want to peel off the skin and see the spine inside, you have to face unknown risks. If Chen Ziyan is the only one present, then he will naturally make the decision.
But now that Wu Laogou is present and the two sides are still in an 'equal' alliance, it is necessary to ask the other party's opinion. Even if it is just a formality, the respect should not be lacking.
Wu Laogou, a man with a hole in his heart, couldn't figure out what Chen Ziyan meant, so he smiled and said, "You have to take a look."
Although Chen Ziyan's words were too formal, he still felt very comfortable because he had done his best to save face.
As for the dangers that this move may bring, Wu Laogou didn't take it seriously. It was not his first day out in the world. He knew that wealth always comes from dangers. If he is not willing to face even this small risk, It's better to stay at home, entertain your grandchildren, and enjoy your long life.
Chen Ziyan didn't say much after getting Wu Laogou's permission, and immediately slashed the lanky monster's back with the short knife he carried.
And when the spine inside...no, it should be something came into view, he instantly understood why he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Because there was no backbone under the skin of the lanky monster. It was clearly a black-haired snake as thick as a wrist.
The black-haired snake's head penetrated into the lanky monster's brain, and the entire snake body replaced the original spine.
"This snake is parasitic in the human body?" Wu Laogou took a quick look and immediately understood what was going on.
"Well, this is a black fly." Chen Ziyan nodded and directly revealed the true identity of the slender monster.
Looking at the black-haired snake that had replaced the spine, the identity of the slender monster in front of him was self-evident.
It's just that Chen Ziyan always thought that Hei Feizi was an ordinary person, so he didn't connect the two.
"Hei Feizi really exists?" Brother Wu asked with surprise.
The name Hei Feizi is not unfamiliar to him, but he has never seen it in person.
"This kind of monster is naturally not targeted. It's just that its whereabouts are secret and no one outside has seen it." Chen Ziyan said naturally.
After experiencing the experience in the underground research institute, Chen Ziyan now does not find these things strange at all.
It may be a legend among ordinary people, or even in the dark world, but in the eyes of some beings, it is commonplace.
But what Chen Ziyan couldn't figure out was that the strange and lanky monster in front of him could also be Hei Feizi.
It was precisely because of this that he failed to connect the two together in the first place.
"Have you met Chen Xiaoyou before?" Wu Laogou heard the disapproval in Chen Ziyan's words and asked tentatively.
The more I get in touch with Chen Ziyan, I feel that the contemporary Xiling bandit leader in front of me is a treasure. Not to mention the external forces, the other person's knowledge alone is extraordinary enough.
"I saw it once not long ago, but the one I saw at that time looked like an ordinary person, not as scary as before." Chen Ziyan hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
The more he understands this world, the more he feels the invisible shackles. He knows that if he wants to protect his family and friends and achieve his aspirations, he must face the many forces hiding in the dark.
It's not that he doesn't have the confidence to face it, but it will definitely waste too much time and energy to cut off those existences that hinder him one by one.
Chen Ziyan had considered this issue for a long time, and finally he came to the conclusion that the enemy of his enemy is his friend.
It just so happens that Wu Laogou and he are allies now, so why not take this opportunity to deepen this alliance?
The Wu family and even the Nine Sects will definitely confront the Wang family, and the Wang family has entanglements with Scientology, 'other' organizations and other forces. Why not let others fight against these forces while you help from the side.
Chen Ziyan felt that in this way, he could draw the attention of those forces to himself, thereby avoiding an unexpected move like the one Da Jinya had made last time.
So when he heard Wu Laogou's words, Chen Ziyan told part of the truth.
"Hei Feizi is no different from ordinary people?" Wu Laogou was not aware of Chen Ziyan's intention. His attention was still on the legendary creature Hei Feizi.
"I can only say that it looks like this. If you look carefully, you can still see the difference. After all, the so-called Heifeizi looks more like a beast than a human." Chen Ziyan thought about the Heifeizi he had seen, and slowly said.
After finishing speaking, Chen Ziyan subconsciously glanced at the corpse of the monster whose back was cut open. It was only then that he remembered that there seemed to be a monster with this form in Gu Tongjing in the future.
Before, he didn't understand why there was only one monster in Gutongjing with that form. Now seeing the slender monster in front of him, Chen Ziyan suddenly understood. The reason why the monster in Gutongjing was abnormal was probably the same as the one in front of him. , that person’s original identity was also from the Zhang family.
After all, Zhang Dafo Lord's personal soldiers are almost all Zhang family members who follow him, so it is not unexpected to appear in Gutongjing.
"Little friend Chen, do you think this is the only Hei Feizi here?" Wu Laogou suddenly looked at Chen Ziyan and asked.
Chen Ziyan was a little confused and asked curiously: "Fifth Master, why do you ask that?"
Wu Laogou pointed at his nephew who was tied up by Wu Hua Da, and expressed his thoughts: "It can be seen from the body of Hei Feizi in front of him that the so-called Hei Feizi should be puppets controlled by black-haired snakes. Is there a lot of black flies underground, just because this nephew is hiding?"
Judging from their personal experience, Nephew Li's suppression of the black-haired snake is unreasonable. It is hard not to think that Hei Feizi is also afraid of Nephew Li.
After all, the difference between the two is not that big. Heifeizi was also parasitized by the black-haired snake, and it is likely that the habits of the black-haired snake were left behind.
"What about this one we encountered?" Chen Ziyan asked, looking at the body of the lanky monster.
"It should be related to the blood of the Zhang family." Wu Laogou had already made a plan. When he heard Chen Ziyan's inquiry, he gave a direct answer.
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan felt that Wu Laogou's words made sense.
It is a proven fact that the black-haired snake is afraid of Nephew. If there is a reason why this lanky monster is not afraid of Nephew, it should only be because of the blood of the Zhang family.
After agreeing with this, Chen Ziyan also started to look forward to his own bloodline. After all, if it really comes down to it, his own bloodline is not inferior to Qilin in any way, and the future is quite promising.
Just when Chen Ziyan was immersed in anticipation, Wu Laogou next to him said again: "We will leave here later. Isn't it a good idea to leave this body here casually?"
If he hadn't noticed the corpse, or the specialness of Heifeizi, the corpse would have stayed here.
But now that we know something is abnormal, we have to think carefully.
"Let's take this black-haired snake away. The body can only be left here temporarily." After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan said his solution.
He knew that although the lanky monster in front of him was unique, the real core was this black-haired snake that replaced the spine.
The situation now is quite special. There are other places to explore later. It is inconvenient to carry such a large corpse. It is better to just take away the core black-haired snake.
"That's all we have to do." Wu Laogou thought about it and felt that this was a good idea.
Now that their conditions are limited, giving up is inevitable.
After the two parties agreed, Chen Ziyan personally took out the black-haired snake from the monster's corpse.
After the black-haired snake was taken out, Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou discovered that the snake's neck had been completely crushed.
Come to think of it, Wushuang Ghost seemed to have killed the lanky monster before, but in fact he killed the black-haired snake that dominated his body.
Both of them were very thoughtful people, and they knew what was going on just by seeing this fatal injury.
But what Chen Ziyan thought was that he was very lucky, and being able to kill with one hit was purely an accident.
Otherwise, given Heifeizi's special abilities, it would be very difficult to kill him.
But Wu Laogou thought more. He didn't believe that this was just a coincidence, but suspected that Chen Ziyan had already seen the identity of the lanky monster, so he was able to kill him so easily.
After casually stuffing the body of the black-haired snake into a tough bag, Chen Ziyan followed his previous plan and placed the body of the slender monster back on the ancient building.
After doing this, he and Wu Laogou took their respective men and left here towards the depths of the jungle.
Maybe it was their encounter with that special Hei Feizi that made them happy, and Chen Ziyan and others' luck improved.
Not long after they set off this time, they had another harvest.
Less than two kilometers away from the ancient building, Chen Ziyan and the others saw several corpses again.
It's just that these corpses are not as strange as the lanky monsters. Although they are a little strange, they all maintain their human appearance.
"The flesh and blood of these corpses have been exhausted, but the dark skin is a little abnormal. They look like they died of poisoning." Chen Ziyan looked at the corpses in front of him, touched his chin and expressed his opinion.
"Aren't these Heifeizi?" Wu Laogou asked.
When he first saw these corpses, he thought he had encountered an ordinary black fly.
As for death by poisoning, this is a perfectly normal thing in his opinion. These corpses have been dead underground for at least several decades, but their general shape can still be preserved so completely. It is probably largely due to the internal toxin.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in his opinion. The embalming methods in ancient tombs are all kinds of strange, and it is even more difficult to understand than this. It is not that he has never encountered it before.
"No, these should just be the people who died at the hands of the black-haired snakes, not the black flies parasitized by them." Chen Ziyan shook his head gently.
He was certain that these corpses had nothing to do with Heifeizi, because Heifeizi looked like a living person and would not be in this shriveled state at all.
If he guessed correctly, these corpses should simply have died from the venom of the black-haired snake.
After all, based on Chen Ziyan's understanding of this underground space, the most poisonous creature is the black-haired snake with the largest number. Not only does this snake's venom seal its throat with blood, it is definitely extremely vicious.
"Let's take off the clothes and take a look." Wu Laogou did not rush to express his position. Instead, he broke off a branch from the underground plant next to him and planned to strip the clothes off the body first.
Through the corpse of the slender monster in front of him, he also knew a way to verify whether Heifeizi was Heifeizi. The answer would naturally be found by looking at the back.
Because of the passage of time and the fact that these corpses were left in the underground jungle, the clothes on their bodies were not as well maintained as those of the lanky monster. The outermost parts were already in disrepair, so Wu Laogou just pulled at them a few times and succeeded. Successfully removed the clothes from the corpses.
"It seems that it is indeed not Hei Feizi." After the inspection failed, Wu Laogou sighed softly.
Although the bodies of these corpses were darkened due to poisoning, any abnormalities on their backs could still be seen.
"Little friend Chen, why do you think these people came here?" Wu Laogou stood up and asked with a hint of confusion.
It can be seen from the clothing style of these people in front of them that they are in the same group as the Zhang family who discovered earlier that they had turned into a special black fly.
What makes Wu Laogou curious is the reason why such a group of people came to this underground space.
"There should be some good things here, but I'm not sure. After all, the Zhang family's behavior is there. It's normal to occasionally do things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand." Chen Ziyan said after considering his words. (End of chapter)
