After hearing Chen Jing'an's words, everyone did not react with excitement or fear, only indifferent expressions, as if what Chen Jing'an said was a very ordinary thing.
That's right, these people are originally the leaders of each family, the ones with the highest combat effectiveness. When they took the mission, they knew very well how dangerous it was. Now, after Chen Jing'an's paving the way, they just know, What's probably inside?
After that, there's nothing to do, just go in and kill. That's what they're here to do.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Jing calmed down and said
"Then let's keep going"
"What should we do with this corpse?"
After Yang Ruxin asked this question, he felt it was a bit abrupt and quickly lowered his head. This question was really a bit idiotic.
"Let's put it here first. I'll put up a barrier to protect it. After we finish the task, we can take the body back for burial."
Chen Jing'an responded softly. After speaking, he threw out a piece of yellow talisman. After the talisman left his hand, it began to burn. By the time it landed on the corpse, it had already burned out, and then it was placed on top of the corpse. , forming an obvious protective barrier
Everyone embarked on the journey again
The journey after that was still as rugged and difficult. I don’t know what happened here before. There were rocks everywhere. Some huge rocks weighed dozens of tons, and small pieces of gravel were scattered all over the feet. Everyone could only walk on the gravel. between, slowly jumping through
I can only walk in a skipping way, and there are piles of fallen leaves between the stones.
There are also several types of fallen leaves. After the pine needles and fallen leaves are filled in the stone crevices, they are spread flat on the stones. Even if you step on them, they are only a little soft and very elastic. There are very few snakes seen in these places, maybe snakes too. I'm tired of pine needles, and they're uncomfortable when stuck on my body.
Birch leaves and oak leaves are spread sparsely on the ground. They seem to be flat, but if you step on them, you will probably sink into the ground for more than one meter or two. Moreover, there are always snakes making noises inside. The squirming sound, when everyone walks away, they will deliberately stay away from each other
After all, although the smell of Taoist Chen Jing'an's incense burner can be dispersed, it still takes time to pass through the layers of leaves, and it will not affect the snakes hidden under the leaves.
Several times, when people were walking, several snakes with thick arms emerged from a pile of leaves and quickly attacked everyone.
Fortunately, with Taoist Chen Jing'an's incense burner in hand, even if he didn't do anything, these snakes would quickly escape when they were close to people. Otherwise, just dealing with these snakes and insects would be very troublesome.
The occasional human corpses seen on the road are enough to prove the danger here.
Most of the corpses had long since rotted away, and the broken bones were scattered on the ground. Some were the bones of a single person, and some were the corpses of several people gathered together.
But Chen Jing'an is not using spiritualism. He may feel that these people have little value, or he may feel that the information provided by the deceased Taoist priest is enough. Of course, Yu Peng also knows that Chen Jing'an has never recovered. Judging from his face, this secret technique also consumes a lot of his energy.
Of course, there is also a possibility that when the Taoist priest sent a wave of consciousness to Chen Jing'an, he did some tricks to hurt Chen Jing'an's soul.
Yu Peng guesses that the latter is more likely.
The disgusted look in the Taoist priest's eyes at that time was unfailing. It was also true that Chen Jing'an ignored the Taoist priest's body before setting off.
If it weren't for Yang Ruxin's garrulous reminder, I'm afraid Chen Jing'an would have left regardless.
"Hey hey hey, there's another wave, but this wave of people looks different. I'm very hopeful. Come on, come on, place your bets!!"
"It's not easy to gamble this time, there are too many people."
"Yes, yes, there are only six of us, and there are more than 20 of them. No matter how much we place bets, it is inappropriate. Those guys... Well, it seems they still won't participate."
"How about we each bet three?"
"Shall we bet on 4? Three per person, only 18 in total. There are 21 of them."
"Then it's not appropriate to bet on 4. There are 3 heads missing."
"Damn it, it's really ink. Let's bet 4 each. You can choose repeatedly. It's fine. I'll see how worried you are."
"Okay, then let me take a look. I bet the first one, and the one with the spear, and the strong man, and... and... and the Tang Sect guy in second place."
"Damn it, you're such a thief. You've been given the choice of all these good ones, so what are you going to bet on?"
"Who asked you to keep inking? I still don't believe it. I can still make mistakes. I bet my right leg this time."
"Fuck, you are so cruel. No matter how few legs you have, you will only be able to crawl around like those worms in the future."
"What do you care about me, do you want to bet or not?"
"Tch, bet! This time I bet on my right hand, the little boy in the middle of the team, and the three before and after him!"
"Huh? Is there anything special about that boy? Old Liu, tell me everything. Is there any inside information?"
"You don't care about the inside story, sir. I just bet on the four of them. Who do you choose?"
"I, I choose..."
"I choose..."
Yu Peng didn't know if other people could see these ghosts, hear their discussions, and place bets on this team, but he could actually see and hear them.
These ghosts are as thin as bamboo poles, but they are all in good spirits. Yu Peng can't tell which corpse they correspond to. At this moment, these ghosts are squatting under a dense tree. , placing bets on this group of people
And judging from how proficient they are with the process, it’s obviously not the first time.
It seems like they are betting on who can survive?
There are also dozens of ghosts watching the fun not far away, including both men and women. One is in a trance, and there seems to be a boy and an old man, but they are all hiding under the trees and in the cracks of the rocks. , Yu Peng couldn’t really see what they looked like.
These people are like residents in rural areas. When they see a stranger who suddenly comes in, they are interested but dare not show their faces. They hide and hide. They seem to be hiding it well, but they have been discovered by others long ago.
Yu Peng has long been used to being watched by a group of ghosts. After so many years of experience and exploration, Yu Peng has long formed a habit, or found a way to deal with it.
As long as you don't show your abilities or look directly at the ghosts, no matter what these ghosts do or say, as long as you don't respond, they won't find out that there is a person here who can see ghosts.
And Yu Peng is a Taoist. Long-term absorption and use of spiritual energy will form a barrier of spiritual energy around him, which will not allow those ghosts to get close to him.
But the other twenty people didn't seem to have this ability. They only felt that the atmosphere here was a bit eerie and cold. Most of them frowned and frequently looked at the valleys and stone crevices on both sides. Their steps also became slower. But nothing unusual was found
Yu Peng somewhat agreed with the reaction of these people. Although they did not see the ghosts, their keen sense of breath and magnetic field still made them feel uncomfortable. They felt like they were being spied on, and their vigilance was full.
As everyone went deeper inside, it seemed that a separation line had been drawn. The ghosts who were following the team stopped collectively, lined up in a straight line, and watched the expedition team go away.
Although the farther you walked in, the slower you went, and the closer you got, the stronger the smell in the air. Everyone could no longer resist the pungent smell. Under Chen Jing'an's command, everyone took out a glass-like Mask-like equipment is worn on the head
In front of Yu Peng, Li Jianfei also took out a mask and handed it to Yu Peng
After Yu Peng took the mask and put it on his face, Li Jianfei explained in a low voice:
"In order to cope with this mission, there is a lot of equipment distributed uniformly, including gas masks, incense burners, snake repellents, antivenom, etc., and your share is also on me. When the time comes, I will bring it to you.”
Although Li Jianfei's voice was very soft, Yu Peng still heard it clearly and nodded, indicating that Li Jianfei should continue to follow the team.
In fact, Yu Peng didn't need this thing, but in order to avoid suspicion, he still wore it.
From the moment he entered this valley, the air was filled with the fishy smell of rotting animals, snake feces and snake venom. From the moment he smelled the fishy smell, Yu Peng arranged an air filter in his nostrils. The protective film can resist toxic gases from the outside or special smells in the air.
The first time Yu Peng mastered this skill was at the son's house of a ghost Aunt Li. At that time, Yu Peng entered the room, opened the Eye of Burning Spirit, and saw the molecular particles floating in the air, including the peeling off of the wall. Formaldehyde and putty powder, dandruff from someone's body, various dust particles in the air, gas debris floating in the air after someone farts, bacteria and viruses that fly out when breathing, etc.
Yu Peng almost vomited at that time, so since then, Yu Peng has mastered a skill, which is to form a spiritual barrier around him to isolate substances from the outside world.
Moreover, if necessary, Yu Peng can form a barrier outside the edge of the nostril to isolate some molecular particles in the air.
Everything in the world is composed of molecules, and molecular particles float in the air. As long as you create a screen and control the outside of your nostrils, you can isolate them.
The effect is also excellent, but Yu Peng can only use it on himself and cannot share it with others.
In addition, as you go deeper, as the fishy smell becomes stronger and stronger, the effect of the incense burner in Chen Jing'an's hand is also weakening. Although later, Li Jianfei and the man at the end of the hall all lit the incense burner, but Still can't resist the fishy smell in the air, the effect is still not good
From time to time, some snakes and poisonous insects would fall from the trees above their heads, and when they fell in the air, they would open their mouths full of venomous fangs and pounce on everyone.
Then they were picked off by the people in the team with knives, swords, short blades, and spears.
It’s just that the frequency of poisonous snake attacks is getting higher and higher, and everyone is starting to get a little agitated.
These snakes can be killed and knocked away, but when their bodies are cut off by swords, blood will still leak out. Not only does it smell bad, but it also contaminates the weapons. Sometimes it can't be done well and the smelly blood and mucus, which can also stain clothes
There was a man whose arm was stained with blood spattered by a snake. His arm was visibly red and swollen. He could only take out an ointment from his pocket and apply it on the affected area to relieve the pain.
After that, everyone was very careful, using skill or the back of a knife to knock away the attacking snake to avoid such a problem happening again.
Finally, after walking for more than half an hour, the team jumped over several boulders more than ten meters high and discovered the cave that was more than two meters wide and three meters high in the mission report.
It's not entirely correct to say it's a stone cave. It's just a very wide gap between a few huge rocks. It's just that this gap is strange. To the naked eye, it is pitch black along the edge of the stone, as if it is a ball of black. Fog, blocked in the gaps between stones, without a trace of light
Outside the cave, there was an arrow carved with a sword, and a very special symbol, which was used to mark the location. Li Jianfei stepped forward to take a look, nodded to everyone, and said
"It's the mark left by my uncle, and it's right here."
Chen Jing'an nodded to Li Jianfei and said to everyone
"Light all the incense burners. Let's rest here for five minutes and be fully prepared before going in."
No one responded to Chen Jing'an's words, but everyone began to act in tacit agreement. They took out an incense burner of the same style from their respective storage spaces and lit it with fire.
Li Jianfei was already holding one, but now he took out a new one from his storage space, lit it and handed it to Yu Peng
Yang Yanbin and Yang Ruxin also did the same thing
Seeing the look in Yu Peng's eyes, Yang Yanbin said
"The portable space weapon is specially distributed by the family for this mission, and so are they."
They refer to everyone who participated in this mission, and they carry space weapons, which are storage space weapons, but Yu Peng has to admire their ability to name them.
I have always called this thing storage space, but listening to their name, portable space, it is catchy and clear. It is so vivid to call it like this. Yu Peng immediately changed the name of his storage space.
"Yeah, I know, I also have my own space."
Yang Yanbin smiled and nodded without saying anything more.
He didn't say more, for fear of poking Yu Peng's sore spots.
Yang Yanbin has seen Yu Cheng's Qiankun Bag and understands that when Yu Cheng talks about portable space, he is changing the name according to what he said. However, the Universe Bag and portable space are really two completely different things.
How to describe it, the Qiankun bag is like a shopping bag in a supermarket, and the portable space is like a precision-designed safe.
There is really no way to get a comparison piece, but Yang Yanbin doesn’t want to explain too much
Why does he not want to get one for Yu Peng when he has a portable space? Isn't he afraid that Yu Peng will feel left out?
However, Yang Yanbin really had no choice. The entire Yang family really only had one portable space weapon. Although Yang Ruxin also had one, it was borrowed from Li's family and had to be returned, and the rental fee was extremely high
Even so, if it weren't for Li Jianfei's guarantee, I wouldn't be able to borrow it.
This thing is so valuable. It's so valuable that all major families will reluctantly take it out only when they encounter some special tasks.
Just like this mission, after they entered the secret space, no matter whether they completed the mission or not, there was one thing they had to do, which was to fill up the space with them before evacuating, especially the gold mentioned in the message.
The rental fee for Yang Ruxin's portable space is half of the amount after it is filled with things, and it belongs to the Li family.
Yang Yanbin knew that Yu Cheng was good at making spiritual weapons and weapons, and that his talent was at the top level. He had also seen the Qiankun bag made by Yu Cheng. However, making the Qiankun bag was extremely easy. Anyone who was successful in practicing Taoism could learn it. It's a very common secret skill.
The ability to create a spiritual weapon and create a portable space are as far apart as eight generations of ancestors. These are completely two fields. Yang Yanbin, Li Jianfei, and even their families have never thought about it. Yu Peng can create a portable space
Yu Peng never dared to show Yang Yanbin his spatial spiritual weapon.
Yang Yan was afraid of hurting Yu Peng's heart, and Yu Peng was also afraid of hurting Yang Yanbin's heart.
