Chapter 40 The Hometown of Witch Gu [40]

Obviously, what Chen Shen bumped into was a player who was also wearing an invisibility cloak.

It's just covered by the cloak, so Chen Shen couldn't see what the other person looked like, but he didn't care either.

"Are you also here to investigate the Great Elder? How about we cooperate, maybe two people are better than one?" Chen Shen suggested.

The other party didn't make a sound, just pulled out the corner of his cloak from Chen Shen's hand, turned around and entered the whirlpool.

It seems to be rejected.

Chen Shen sighed. Although he originally planned to come by himself, now there is an extra person who doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend. What if his actions are affected?
The young man covered himself tightly with the invisibility cloak. Seeing that the vortex seemed to be smaller, he no longer hesitated, and walked over quickly. After a while of dizziness, he fell into a damp cave.

Chen Shen got up, as if something cold was dripping, he dodged it wrapped in a cloak.

If it was Sang Qi, what would she do?

Chen Shen lowered his eyes to think, and then he came to a conclusion rather helplessly, Sang Qi would just go straight up.

A little light flashed in front of him, it was the light in the hands of the Great Elder.

Chen Shen followed on tiptoe. He tried his best to breathe calmly. In addition to focusing on the elder, he occasionally looked around for the unknown player who came in together. Wouldn't it affect his actions?

The young man walked forward, and when he reached the corner, he smelled a strong smell of blood, as if something had been left here for a long time, causing a sour and strange smell.

Chen Shen stopped and looked up.

What caught my eye was a coffin.

Unlike the ice coffin of the goddess in the snake cave, this seems to be a simple coffin, and the air is filled with the smell of corpses.

Chen Shen covered the cloak on his body, and boldly stepped forward to have a look.

It was a woman with beautiful and gentle eyes. Her body was almost rotted into a skeleton, but her face was preserved as before.

Her complexion was as pale as death, and she was lying there with her eyes closed, and there seemed to be a smile on her lips, as if what she was welcoming was not death, but something that made her feel very happy.

Three huge question marks appeared in Chen Shen's head.

Who is this?

The Great Elder walked over holding the strange piece of jade. Chen Shen hurriedly stepped aside and let the Great Elder stand there. He stood beside him holding his breath and watched closely.

The barrage in the live broadcast room was flying fast.

[Appeared, a new character! 】

[Has this person appeared before? 】

[Going back upstairs, I haven’t seen it, at least the previous players haven’t seen this woman when they passed the dungeon. The impression is that after the goddess opened the sacrifice, it caused a fight with thousands of Gu insects. The loss of control of the Gu insects also affected the players, almost falling into a kind of chaos bucket mode. 】

[I used to think that this dungeon was extremely simple, purely relying on force value.But why... there are so many hidden plots? 】

Chen Shen couldn't even see the discussion about the plot. He took a quick glance at the barrage, but the Great Elder was right next to him, so he didn't dare to answer, but just stared at the Great Elder without blinking, remembering all the details .

I will share the clues with Sang Qi later.Chen Shen thought, this is something she didn't discover.

Finally, once, let him catch up in front of Sang Qi.

The great elder had already placed the piece of jade in the hands of the woman in the coffin who had turned into a skeleton, staring at the woman's face with a face without facial features.

After a long time, through the centipede's mouth, he said, "You will open your eyes again, I promise."

Chen Shen: "?"

How can you open your eyes when they are all rotten into skeletons?

Chen Shen looked at the skeleton woman with a good face in the coffin, and then at the elder who had no face.

He was lost in thought.

In a sense, the two seem to complement each other?

"Sister Ayan, since you left, I have become the Great Elder, but I feel very boring. Without you in this village, no one else is worthy of my nostalgia." The Great Elder continued to babble.

While Chen Shen was listening, someone patted his shoulder lightly.

He trembled instantly and almost jumped up.

Fortunately, Chen Shen remembered that he was in front of the Great Elder. He suppressed the scream in his throat and turned his head to look.

No one can be seen, it should be the player who is also wearing the invisibility cloak.

Or...ghost?

Chen Shen pulled his lips stiffly.

……

……

At this time, Sang Qi was also standing in the cave, next to Chen Shen.

She was also the one who patted Chen Shen on the shoulder just now.

It's just that Chen Shen couldn't see her because of the cover of the invisibility cloak.

In the end, Wu Zhu seemed to be persuaded by her and led her to the corner of the altar. Because the little black snake couldn't speak, it took a lot of effort to understand how to open the vortex.

The Great Elder is still talking: "You always said before that if I grow up to be a powerful person, I can take over your position as the Great Elder, but now I have become the Great Elder, but you are gone."

Sang Qi's eyes froze slightly.

succeed……?
To take over from the woman in the coffin and become—the Great Elder?
The girl's fingers moved slightly, which meant that the woman lying in the coffin was the former Great Elder.

Also the owner of that diary.

Sang Qi blinked lightly, made his breathing softer, and almost slowed down his heartbeat.

She was wrong.

Because the first elder they saw was a man, they preconceived that the previous first elder was also a man, and even thought about whether this first elder was Wu Zhu's father.

However, this possibility was ignored. The former Great Elder was a woman.

Then what was written in her diary was not harmonious with the Goddess, and she even had a little thought of rebelling against the Goddess. The strongest thought appeared after the death of the foreigner who broke into the village.

Sang Qi was thoughtful, so, the sacrifice has been stopped for so long, does it have anything to do with the former Great Elder?

Was she the one who put the goddess into a deep sleep?

"...I will inherit your will and help you destroy this village." The Great Elder suddenly said, "Avenge you and your child who died in vain."

Following the direction the Great Elder was looking at, Sang Qi poked his head quietly and looked down, and saw clearly a small embryo-like thing hidden in the jade.

For some reason, the little black snake on the shoulder seemed to have a serious emotional ups and downs. Wu Zhu used the snake's body and tail tightly wrapped around Sang Qi's arm, unable to tell what kind of emotion it was.

Very strong, like a spirit that has been treasured for a long time.

Sang Qi patted the little black snake on the head reassuringly.

The Great Elder was rambling on recalling some of the past, he seemed to say whatever came to his mind, and the words before and after were a bit inconsistent.

The few people hidden in the cave quietly listened to the Great Elder recalling his childhood past.
