Chapter 162 The First Pass Chapter 61 Houshan Cave ([-]) Rewards and Changes

"This cave is about the same size as the previous cave. There was space around the previous cave, but here it is all filled with wooden barrels, leaving only a small path in the middle." Wu Chen walked forward slowly as he spoke.

Several people followed closely behind, and the soldier was obviously trembling all over.

The sophomore said angrily: "Don't shake it, I want to shake it too!"

Wu Chen said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you are more afraid if you can't see it? What are you afraid of now that all you see are corpses?"

"The water in the wooden barrel should be a potion. We can't smell the smell of rotting corpses, but we can smell the smell of herbs. It should be the potion in the barrel. This potion may prevent the corpse from rotting and cover up the rotten smell of the corpse." Song Solid say.

Wu Chen wanted to see clearly, so he pointed the torch towards the nearest wooden barrel. The light suddenly changed, and the originally unclear picture became clear in an instant. , Yu Shian simply raised his arms to cover his face, the soldier collapsed to the ground, and was directly pulled up by Yu Shian.

Only Song Gu was better. He had glanced at the wooden barrel before saying what he said just now, but he didn't expect that Wu Chen would suddenly move the torch to the wooden barrel, and he was also taken aback.

Wu Chen himself was taken aback. Who would have thought that the corpse in this barrel had been dead for too long? His face was rotted in many places, his eye sockets were black, his neck was exposed to the bones, and his head seemed to fall off at any time. down...

"Uh... Su Chang kept the body just to keep those ghosts?" Wu Chen asked, moving the torch away.

Song Gu said: "If this is the purpose, there is no need to soak the corpse in the potion, right? The corpse rots and turns into bones, which is also the ghost's former flesh."

Wu Chen nodded and said, "That means there is another purpose, but I don't know what the purpose is. Just now those ghosts said that Su Chang was training Yin soldiers..."

Before Wu Chen finished speaking, he heard a 'plop'.

"What's that sound?" The sophomore raised his sword and looked around sideways vigilantly.

The soldier who was dragged up by Yu Shi'an just sat down on the ground again.

"It sounded like something came out of the water and then fell back." Wu Chen looked around with a solemn expression and said, "Go back to the entrance of the cave and make plans."

Yu Shi'an dragged the guards, and they retreated to the entrance of the cave.

Wu Chen said, "I'm afraid there is something strange in the barrel."

Song Gu hurriedly said: "I don't know how Su Chang usually controls this place."

"You say he doesn't know how to be afraid? He stays with so many corpses all day long, and there are so many ghosts..."

"The ghost is imprisoned in the formation and cannot get out, but these corpses..." Wu Chen thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Could it be that black worm?"

The sophomore felt that the hairs all over his body were standing on end, and asked with a grin, "You mean that black bug stays with the corpse first, and then looks for the soul after showing affection?"

"Using ghosts as skins, if you want to achieve this kind of combination, you need to get acquainted with the ghost's corpse first. At least the ghost will not be able to resist when you find it. That's all I can understand now." Wu Chen frowned.

"You said before that the black bug is poisonous." Yu Shi'an reminded.

"Together with the corpse, there are some medicinal materials. How can they be clean?" After Wu Chen finished speaking, he sighed and said, "The evil spirit at the entrance of the cave told me before he left, burn it...but these things are in the water. How to burn it?"

"I don't know how many there are in a wooden barrel, even if it's only one barrel," the sophomore took a deep breath: "It's not old or young, even if there is no water, how can you burn it?"

"If you want to send those ghosts away, you must dispose of these corpses... I wondered before, why the ghosts in other places didn't care about the corpses, why did the ghosts in this cave keep telling me not to destroy the corpses?" , they couldn't leave, it seems that the problem lies with the black worm, and it's not the corpse that needs to be destroyed, but the black worm."

Yu Shi'an pointed to the barrel and asked, "What do they... do for a living?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and said:

"The corpse is soaked in the potion, which means that the black worm cannot do without the potion and the slowly decaying corpse at this stage. When it grows to a certain stage, it will be born attached to the ghost, which is Su Chang's so-called Yin training soldier. Combining worms and ghosts, they have the ability to eat people, and if they can go to the battlefield, who can stop them?"

"You!" said the sophomore.

Wu Chen snorted and said, "By the time I arrive, I'm afraid the country will already be destroyed. Besides, I'm the only one. They are mass-produced. Can I call here?"

Yu Shi'an and Song Gu seemed to understand, and their expressions were serious.

The second year of high school asked: "What should I do now?"

Wu Chen frowned and said:
"I don't know how poisonous that thing is. Just look at the place where the black sap flows through the hole, and the green grass withers immediately. I dare not try it lightly. To be honest, the black sap is all over the ground. Let's think about this cave again." It’s not easy coming to China.”

"Why don't you go to the next cave first, wait until you find the solid evidence that Su Chang and Prince Cheng are together, then come back here, destroy this cave, and with the power of Mr. Wu, it is not difficult to smash them all to death, and then..."

Wu Chen interrupted Song Gu and said:

"I'm worried that when we walked halfway, some black worms jumped out. The sound just now may be a warning. In this way, you stand here and don't move. I will try to walk over first. If it's okay, you can walk over again. I can advance and retreat alone. .”

But no one stopped him.

Holding the torch, Wu Chen walked forward cautiously.

Several people waited on the spot without daring to breathe.

There was another 'plop'.

Wu Chen paused for a moment and continued walking.

'plop' 'plop' 'plop'

There were more voices.

Wu Chen stood still and asked loudly, "Maybe you saw something jumping out of the barrel?"

"I just looked at you, I didn't pay attention! You take another step, let's take a closer look." The sophomore shouted.

Wu Chen took another two steps forward. He thought that taking one more step would allow the people behind him to see clearly in the dim light, but before he could stand still, he felt a strong wind and stench. Wu Chen instinctively Raising his hand in the air, he couldn't control his strength in a panic, and the whole cave shook a few times, and immediately more gravel fell.

Wu Chen secretly cursed, "Mist grass! 'Immediately turned and ran back to the hole.

The second year of high school quickly asked: "Will it collapse? You said you should take it easy!"

After Wu Chen stood still, he turned and looked into the cave. The gravel was still falling. A lot of potion poured out of the wooden barrel due to the shaking just now. Some corpses and heads fell to the ground and rolled. The shaking turned off several lamps, making the cave even darker.

"Why did you do it all of a sudden?" Song Gu asked.

"You didn't see it?" Wu Chen frowned and asked, "I felt that thing coming towards me, so I waved."

"It can still fly?!" The sophomore's voice trembled.

　I said yesterday that there will be three more chapters today, and then before I went to bed, I received a large reward from no such person. I was so excited that I decided to reward and add another chapter.

　　No such person has been giving rewards every day, rain or shine, for two years, but rarely left a message. During this period, I have written one book after another. Every time I open a new book, I feel that this time no such person will follow me again. But he will still be the same.

　　The name of this person is so close that I want to call it, but I can’t say it (cover my face). Some readers once asked me if this person is mine. No, we have never met, and my own family People are not so active hahahaha, they belong to the kind of people who have kicked a chapter with both feet.

　　Thank you words have been said too many times, hard fists!

　　You can see it is the biggest support for me!Fist again!
