"Hey, what a ghost, is this thing so effective..."
Zhang Ning stamped his feet, and his face was full of surprise when he realized that there was nothing strange about his legs.
If he had known earlier that the Snakehead Mushroom could produce such a small detoxifying fruit, would he still have to work hard to smear poisonous anaconda snake gall foam on the wound every day?
"You two - are you really going to leave me here - without me to lead the way - you can't get the inheritance of Zongheng -"
Just when Zhang Ning was about to ask something, Li Baiyi's shouting came from the opposite side.
There was a trace of crying mixed with the trembling, and it looked like he was really anxious.
"What should he do? Are you really not going to pick him up?"
Looking at 659, Zhang Ning asked.
"Continuing to activate the Jue ion shield consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Regardless of how I ignored it when I used it before, in fact, the spiritual energy reserve is no longer enough. If I go down to pick him up again, it will definitely be exhausted on the way back."
Regarding Zhang Ning, 659 had no intention of hiding it and explained the situation directly.
Anyway, this place is far away from Li Baiyi, so there is no need to worry about hearing from the other side.
"Then you really don't care about him? Little Ada's body is still on the other side..."
After hearing 659's explanation, Zhang Ning's face suddenly became clear, but he still spoke with some trepidation.
After all, he spent so much effort just to bring little Ada's body out of the hole in the ground.
"Don't worry, he will come here safely."
659 smiled and dusted himself off.
"Li Baiyi, carry little Ada's body on your back, I'll let you come over now!"
While shouting, 659 extended one arm forward and spread the five fingers of his left palm.
Without any warning, a steel cable shot out from the center of his palm and was nailed to the opposite wall!
After gently pulling twice to confirm that the steel cable was fixed, 659 shouted again.
"Hold this wire and crawl over here!"
"climb?"
Hearing 659's shouting, a question mark popped up in Zhang Ning's and Li Baiyi's minds at the same time.
Isn't this embarrassing a general-level zombie like Li Baiyi?
Not to mention that it was very difficult for him to get up carrying the body.
Even if he didn't carry the body on his back and crawled over on a steel cable in the air, it would be very difficult for him, a general-level zombie.
Sure enough, complaints soon came from Li Baiyi opposite.
"Young hero, are you kidding me? It's hard for me to crawl over here, let alone a corpse on my back. I'm afraid if I get halfway up, I'll fall into a pit and be swallowed by those snakes..."
"It's really troublesome... weren't you very energetic when I saw you fighting against the Iron-headed Viper..."
With a hint of impatience on his face, 659 picked a hard rock in the passage and pressed his left palm on it.
There was a muffled sound, and the other end of the steel cable was firmly fixed on it.
In this way, the steel cable across the huge pit became a temporary ropeway, with Li Baiyi's end high and 659's end low.
"It will be no problem to slide over, it only takes a few seconds, don't tell me you don't even have this little arm strength." 659 shouted coldly.
"Okay, okay, wait a moment, young hero..."
Li Baiyi responded promptly, with a hint of relaxation in his tone.
After a while, there was a sound of tearing cloth coming from the opposite side.
"Wait a minute, I'll tie the body to my body and make a simple sliding device..."
About three or four minutes later, there was a tremor on the steel cable. The sound of friction between the cloth and the steel rope was heard, and those who heard it felt frightened.
Fortunately, the worst situation did not occur, and Li Baiyi finally arrived successfully.
Throwing away the almost worn out sliding device in his hand, Li Baiyi let out a long sigh and slumped down on the ground.
"It's really going to kill me..."
"Didn't we arrive successfully? Stop talking nonsense and quickly put the body on your back. Let's leave the den..."
As 659 said this, he reached out and grabbed the steel cable.
I don't know how he operated it. He just pulled and pulled the steel cable firmly fixed on the stone.
"Hey, let's go, let's get cold again..."
There was a hint of reluctance on Li Baiyi's face, but he still struggled to get up from the ground.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Li Baiyi reached out to grab little Ada's body, 659 seemed to vaguely see the body move.
But after looking carefully for a while, I didn't see anything strange.
After thinking for a moment, 659 spoke.
"Li Baiyi, you carry the body and go forward."
After hearing the order, Li Baiyi was naturally speechless and walked at the front of the team honestly.
The two of them walked forward in the cave for several more minutes. The temperature around them finally began to drop significantly, and there was a faint cold wind blowing from the front.
As if thinking of something, 659 turned to look at Zhang Ning.
"Where is the exit of this road? Is it also in a village?"
"That's right, but it's already very close to the edge of the village." Zhang Ning replied truthfully.
The closer to the edge of the village, the further away from the outer reaches of the eastern hunting area.
659 has seen the map annotations given by Bai Donggu. Next to the snake nest are the Blood Cave and Bee Harbor.
It's just that after staying underground for so long, I can't figure out the direction for a while, and I don't know which cave exit is closer.
Li Baiyi, who was walking at the front, raised his neck and sniffed into the air.
"Hey... the wet smell feels like a smell unique to the Blood Cave. Brother, is this exit right now close to the boundary of the Blood Cave?"
Li Baiyi said as he turned to look at Zhang Ning behind him.
"Yes, it is located on the edge of the Snake Nest, very close to the Blood Cave."
"Fortunately, this is at night. It would be very dangerous if we left through this exit in the early morning or evening..."
Li Baiyi obviously knew what was in the blood cave. He stared at Zhang Ning's face for a long time before speaking.
Zhang Ning didn't answer, just walked forward in silence.
Naturally, there is a reason for choosing this entrance to enter the underground cave.
Mutated snakes and mutated leeches in the blood cave are creatures with extremely sensitive senses of smell. The best way to prevent them from tracking your scent is to contain them.
Keep each other in check!
The aura of the mutated leech can mask Zhang Ning's aura, thereby limiting the tracking of the mutant snake.
On the contrary, because this is the boundary of the snake nest, the mutant leech does not dare to act rashly.
Two people and one body quickly walked out of the underground.
Outside is a house with only three broken brick walls left. The cold wind is mixed with snowflakes as big as goose feathers, whistling from all directions.
659 glanced at the monocle, the temperature was minus 21 degrees.
Because he was wearing a night devil protective suit, 659 didn't feel much discomfort.
On the other hand, Zhang Ning was shivering from the cold. In such a harsh environment, the little fabric on his body was of no use at all.
However, there was not much worry on Zhang Ning's face. After discovering that he could not withstand the blowing of the night wind, he decisively activated his first-level ability.
Not only the use of abilities, but also the transformation of appearance.
Gray hair sprouted from the surface of the skin, covering Zhang Ning's face in layers.
The body also expanded slightly, looking bulging and full of strength.
Zhang Ning's first-level ability seems to come from some kind of beast. As his strength increases, a thick layer of hair will grow on his body.
In the environment where the cold wind is howling, it can be used as clothing to keep out the cold.
"It's much more comfortable this way..."
After touching his body with satisfaction, Zhang Ning's voice became extremely thick when he spoke.
Li Baiyi tightened his robe tightly, glanced at Zhang Ning with his ability activated, and was speechless.
However, when 659 saw Zhang Ning with his ability activated, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"What's going on? It's this kind of creature..."
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Ning saw that 659 looked unnatural and subconsciously spoke calmly.
"It's okay, I just think your appearance after turning on your ability looks a bit familiar, much like a creature I've seen before."
659 frowned, then quickly relaxed, and said casually.
"Let's go quickly, we still have inheritance to get, don't we?"
Being reminded by 659, Zhang Ning came to his senses and immediately looked at Li Baiyi beside him.
"Yes, lead the way!"
As early as in Diwozi, Li Baiyi briefly explained the inheritance to Zhang Ning and 659.
From his description, it was an ancient scroll that was unknown how old it was. It was accidentally acquired by Gui Guzi, the founder of the Zongheng lineage. It was passed down from generation to generation, and the hidden sect [Zongheng] was born.
Before Li Baiyi was infected with the secondary virus, he was the successor of the Zong sect among the two sects, Zong and Heng. He practiced swordsmanship and understood the way of Zong and Heng.
"You have to hold on tight. If it's any later, I won't be able to withstand the temperature outside..."
Li Baiyi glanced at the clouds in the sky. The scarlet moon was half-covered, like a peeper hiding in the sky.
Although snowflakes were flying in the sky, the clouds were not thick enough to block the moonlight.
Under this hazy dark red, the entire land was filled with deathly silence.
It was as if the last living creatures in the world that could move were the only two people left.
Li Baiyi still walked in front, crossing the boundary of the snake nest and walking towards the deeper darkness.
Their destination is behind the blood cave, which is the territory marked by zombies on the map.
In fact, when Zhang Ning first heard that he wanted to go through the blood cave to the zombie territory, he refused.
You must know that you are approaching the city after the Blood Cave. On the map, it belongs to the middle ring of the Eastern Hunting Area.
Although it is not a restricted area, it is really difficult for Zhang Ning, a second-level ability user.
What's more, you have to pass through a dangerous blood cave in the middle. It's a dead-end option no matter how you look at it.
Zhang Ning was naturally extremely curious about the inheritance mentioned by Li Baiyi, but curiosity did not mean that he had a reason to die for it.
At the cost of his own life, he gained a completely vague inheritance.
Zhang Ning would not do such a stupid thing.
But 659 went out of his way and insisted on persuading Zhang Ning to go, as if the inheritance Li Baiyi said was also important to him...
