I ignored Xiong Ming's words, but lowered my head and kept using the flashlight to carefully search for the remaining blood stains on the ground.
At first, the scattered blood stains were easy to identify, but slowly, the blood stains began to decrease little by little, and before long, they completely disappeared.
The four of us searched the ground for a long time with flashlights, but there was no clue. The blood stains seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
"This is fucking weird!" I murmured through gritted teeth, "Why did you suddenly disappear?"
Xiong Ming said behind me: "Hu Tian, did you go the wrong way?"
I shook my head and said, "Impossible! I have been walking along the blood trail! And along the way, did you see any other roads?"
Xiong Ming shook his head and said: "You have always been leading the way. I didn't even pay attention to whether there were other ways!"
Hua Muling said from the side: "I observed carefully along the way. There is no other road here."
Li Xiaohong said: "Will we be able to find new clues if we go a little further?"
I nodded and said, "Maybe it's possible!"
Xiong Ming said: "Why don't you hurry up? This time, I'm walking at the front. Let me tell you, I'm really fed up with you guys' grinding and grinding personalities. This time, whoever I love will go last, and who will go last?" In the end, I won’t be the last one anyway!”
Before he finished speaking, Xiong Ming ducked past a few of us and strode forward.
In this way, the four of us walked forward for about ten minutes, but still found nothing.
The temperature was getting lower and lower unknowingly, and the legs of several people became heavier and heavier. My legs seemed to be filled with lead, and I had to exert all my strength with every step I took.
I looked sideways at the others, not just me, but the other three people as well.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh: "How about we take a rest first! It's not an option to go on like this. By then, we haven't found Lao Duoji yet, and we will fall down from exhaustion first."
My proposal was first affirmed by Xiong Ming. This guy raised his hands in agreement, "This time I think Comrade Hu Tian's decision is correct. If this continues, I will probably have both of my legs amputated." ”
I rolled my eyes at Xiong Ming and did not answer his words. Instead, I turned to look at Hua Muling and Li Xiaohong beside me.
Both of them were panting from exhaustion, sweat dripping from their temples and condensing into a layer of white frost on their cheeks.
I looked at them, and they both looked at me.
I asked, "How about it? How about taking a break first?"
Hua Muling didn't speak, just nodded.
Li Xiaohong, after hesitating for a while, nodded slightly and said softly: "Okay!"
After getting approval from the two of them, I said slowly: "Then let's rest here! We will study the rest of the matter after everyone has recovered some strength!"
After saying that, I found a seat against the wall and sat down. Hua Muling sat next to me, and Xiong Ming sat opposite me. As for Li Xiaohong, she didn't seem to like staying with us very much. , I found a far corner to sit down.
Hua Muling took out some dry food that Li Dong had prepared for us before from her backpack, broke off a large piece of pancake and handed it to me, and said softly: "Eat some!"
Although I wasn't very hungry, I still took the piece of pancake and took a big bite.
The pancakes are multi-grain noodles unique to Tibetan areas. They taste very bad and are extremely dry. They even make your throat a little scratchy when you swallow them, but I don’t mind them very much. After all, at a time like this, some foods are better than others. It's much stronger if you don't have to eat.
I leaned against the wall and ate a few bites of pancakes and drank two more sips of water. I suddenly felt my stomach was bloating, so I put the kettle aside.
But at this moment, my hand touched another hand.
This hand was cold and stiff. It was obviously not Hua Muling's hand, let alone Xiong Ming's or Li Xiaohong's.
Seeing some changes in my expression, Hua Muling frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
When Hua Muling asked, Xiong Ming, who was sitting opposite him, and Li Xiaohong, who was not far away, immediately raised their heads and looked towards me.
I looked at them and then mouthed: "There are...people..."
As soon as these two words were spoken, the other three people immediately became alert and prepared for battle.
And I slowly turned my body to the side. After calming down, I suddenly grabbed the guy's wrist with my backhand, and then pulled it outward with all my strength.
The next second, I pulled a person out from the gap in the wall.
However, what surprised me was that this guy turned out to be a dead man.
I saw that this man was thin and thin, with dark and shriveled skin all over his body, and no moisture at all. A long and thin braid was coiled around his neck.
There were no obvious external injuries in the area touched by the flashlight. It was estimated that this guy was probably bitten to death by poisonous insects such as venomous tongues and scorpions.
Looking at his body, this guy is wearing a black outfit. From the fabric to the tailoring, it doesn't look like a modern style at all. It's a bit similar to the night clothes in the TV series. There are two simple necklaces hanging on the chest.
Xiong Ming reached out and took off the necklace and threw one to me. I took it in my hand and looked at it. My dear, isn't this the legendary "gold-touching charm"?
However, these two gold-touching charms are not serious toys, and the so-called pangolin claws are just fakes. Under the flashlight, it looks like the back claws of some kind of country mouse when holding something.
From my side, I could see that Xiong Ming had also figured out the secret, and cursed with disdain: "I thought I got the damn treasure, but it turned out to be two impostors!"
Xiong Ming kept cursing, but he couldn't bear to throw it away, so he put the imitation "gold-touching charm" around his neck.
I looked at Xiong Ming and said, "This guy is already wearing this thing. Do you still think it can protect you?"
Xiong understood me and said, "It's better than nothing! I'm telling you, it doesn't matter whether it's a fake or not, I like it the most important thing!"
I ignored Xiong Ming's words and turned my gaze back to the guy lying on the ground.
At this time, Hua Muling had already taken out a treasure bag, a water-fire gold umbrella, and an earth dragon shovel from the gap.
The most noteworthy thing here is the water, fire and gold umbrella.
This is an outer sect weapon and a weapon unique to the thief sect.
The entire umbrella has a total of one hundred and thirty-six ribs. Each rib is made of fine steel mixed with black gold. The edges are very sharp. Although it is not a hair-breaking blow, it will definitely be hit by an ordinary weapon. Absolutely meaningless.
In addition, the umbrella surface of the golden umbrella is made of a century-old anaconda, which is resistant to water, fire and invulnerable.
However, the materials required for this Water-Fire-Gold Umbrella are very difficult to find. Not to mention finding a large piece of black gold for thousands of miles, even a snake anaconda that is more than ten meters long is rare in a hundred years.
Therefore, this golden umbrella is just a legend among thieves, and few people have actually seen it.
I reached out and picked up the Water Fire Gold Umbrella from the ground. Although the surface of this umbrella is not made of snake skin, it is also made of very rare and expensive rhinoceros skin. Whether it is tough or defensive, there is no need to mention it. What's the difference?
I opened the golden umbrella and shook off all the dust on the umbrella. Although it had been many years, the umbrella was still shining like new, as if it had never been used.
I looked at the things on the ground, then looked at the person lying next to me, and said, "This guy seems to have put a lot of thought into going to the ground this time! But things in this world are often like this. Maybe he never imagined that this would be his last time going to the ground."
"Don't you think it's strange?" Hua Muling said from the side.
I turned to look at Hua Muling and asked, "What's weird?"
Hua Muling frowned and thought for a while, then said, "This place should be a temple. Since it is an ancient temple, why did Captain Mojin die here?"
