"It has to be you, Brother Chen. I almost thought I was responsible for it."
Seeing that the monster was dead, Li Chen shrank and walked over, his legs still trembling.
"Fortunately, its appearance is a bit scary, but its strength is not that great. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether it can be solved."
As Chen Si spoke, he squatted down and looked at the stumps on the ground.
There was a layer of mucus on it, and it had a sour smell, which seemed to be the same liquid as the one on the cave wall.
I don't know what the connection is between the two.
He caught a worm that was escaping. The worm had not grown up yet, only about ten centimeters long. It was greasy in his hands and felt extremely disgusting to the touch.
However, the monster seemed to be quite valuable in the outside world. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and put it in the glass container in his backpack.
Li Chen's face was full of disgust, "What are you doing catching this thing? It's very evil."
Chen Si said calmly: "Do you have any objections to keeping me as a pet?"
Li Chen's eyes widened and he shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I don't dare to have any objections. Brother Chen, just make yourself comfortable."
The three of them walked for more than two hours, only to feel that the road seemed to be gradually widening, and they came to a secret room.
This secret room is not spacious, but someone has obviously lived in it. There is a stone bed next to it, and the bedding on it is spotless. It seems that someone has slept in it not long ago, and it exudes a faint fragrance.
The furniture is very simple. There is only a wooden table with rice paper and writing brushes on it. There is also a bookcase against the wall, which contains some miscellaneous books with bound editions. Some of them are very old, two or three hundred years ago. All.
Chen Si took out the most conspicuous volume among them, with "Illustrated Manual of the Female Vagina" written on the cover page.
The characters are beautifully written, and the paper quality seems to be that of a new book.
He turned to the first page, and there was only a short sentence written on it. He read it for a long time without understanding what it meant.
"The female genitals are dying, and they will not die, but they will be the earth and the mountains."
The word "die" is usually used to describe the death of ancient emperors, but in Chen Si's mind, he had never heard of an emperor being called a nv.
The meaning of the last two sentences is even more unclear. Why is he dying but not dead? Where is the mountain?
With doubts, he turned to the second page. On this page, there was a picture drawn with a brush, which was a scene of a worm adhering to the wall, with the words "Yin worms, born with sour juice, live in groups, are useless and harmless, The meat is delicious.”
"This seems to be the insect I met just now, and it turned out to be called this. This illustrated book is probably used by the owner of the book to record his experiences."
Chen Si had a vague guess in his mind.
Sure enough, on the third page of the book, there was a drawing of the monster with tentacles. The author was very good at drawing and it was so lifelike that Chen Si could recognize it at a glance.
"Insect remnants are formed by the gathering of Yin worms. They look like many tentacles, are gentle in nature, and don't like to hurt people."
Only then did Chen Si realize that the real name of the octopus spirit just now was Chongyi, and it didn't seem to be aggressive at all, so he had been injured by mistake.
This book is of great use and may be used later, so Chen Si conveniently kept it in his pocket.
On the other side, Li Chen and Hao Yueyue were also exploring the secret room curiously and found a lot of food.
Suddenly, Chen Si pricked up his ears and heard the sound of footsteps in the distance.
The sound of those footsteps was very light, but it still couldn't be hidden from Chen Si, whose senses were enhanced.
He quickly reminded in a low voice: "Someone is coming! Find a place to hide!"
Although Li Chen didn't hear the sound at all, when he heard Chen Si's words, he immediately reacted quickly and pulled Hao Yueyue to hide his figure.
Chen Si jumped up and clung to the top of the cave.
Soon, footsteps entered the house.
Chen Si took a closer look and found that this person was none other than Peng Qian who had led them up the mountain!
At this moment, her little mouth was pouted and her eyes were a little red, as if she had just cried.
"That bastard Chen Si looks fair and clean. He thought he was a good person, but he came to harm Master! It's a shame that I took him up the mountain myself, bah bah! I will definitely kill him with a sword if I see him in the future!"
Chen Si felt helpless that he was so destined to meet this little girl again.
But from her tone, it seemed that she had been completely deceived by her master and defined herself as a scumbag. There was no need to explain now.
She sat down at the wooden table, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She wanted to pour a cup of tea to calm down the anger, but when she reached out to lift the teapot, it was empty, with nothing in it.
Peng Qian was stunned for a moment, then stood up alertly and looked around carefully. Only then did she realize that many things in the room had been tampered with!
She slowly pulled out her sword, explored around, and finally walked slowly towards Li Chen and the others.
Chen Si originally thought that when Xiao Nizi left on her own, they wouldn't have to alert her.
But now it is impossible.
When Peng Qian focused all her attention on the corner where Li Chen was, Chen Si suddenly fell from the roof of the cave, and a fairy rope flew out, tying him tightly from behind.
Peng Qian didn't realize that she had been attacked, and she was lying on the ground with a confused look on her face.
It wasn't until she saw Chen Si's familiar face that she suddenly realized.
He was captured!
"Bah! Mr. Chen, you are such a heartless man. Thanks to our family's trust in you, you ended up thinking about how to harm my master! You also used sneak attack tactics. You are really a villain! I am unlucky if I am caught by you. You Do you want to kill people and silence them? It’s up to you!”
Chen Si touched his nose awkwardly. He always felt that her words were strange, but they seemed very reasonable. He didn't know how to refute it.
Li Chen and Hao Yueyue also came out at this time. When Li Chen saw that the enemy had been captured, he immediately became arrogant.
"Hey! How come you, a witch, are talking to our brother Chen? Have you seen my fist as big as a sandbag, Fatty? You still blame us for harming your master. It's obviously the old witch who wants to make money and kill you, you stupid idiot You foolishly believed what the old goblin said, and you deserve to be caught."
Immediately, he changed his face again and asked Chen Si in a flattering manner, "Brother Chen, how do you think she should handle it? In my opinion, it's better to just do it together and get rid of future troubles."
Chen Si looked at Peng Qian for a long time with a gloomy expression, weighing the pros and cons.
Killing Peng Qian is naturally simple, but there are too few methods to destroy the body and eliminate traces in the cave, making it easy to expose her whereabouts.
But if she was kept, she would definitely tell the news, and I'm afraid they would die even worse.
Peng Qian, who had been yelling just now, was silent now. Chen Si's cold-blooded snake-like eyes looked at her like an object, making her tremble involuntarily.
She immediately understood that Chen Si must have killed someone before, and he did so without batting an eye.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Si finally said, "Take her with you, just to be a hostage."
Li Chen was filled with admiration. Brother Chen was still the best, he knew how to make the best use of everything!
"Get up." Chen Si grabbed her sword, put it on her neck and said coldly.
Peng Qian felt the icy chill on her neck, and felt fear in her heart. Her whole body was shocked by Chen Si.
"Shut up, follow us, and don't make any small moves. I don't know how to show mercy to someone."
Peng Qian's mouth was also blocked by the immortal rope, and she could only nod in fear.
