"Oh!"
Zhang Qiling followed behind Chen Ze and lifted up the body.
Zhang Qiling glanced at Chen Ze worriedly, because Zhang Qiling found that Chen Ze was trembling at the moment.
"Brother Chen, are you okay?" Zhang Qiling couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, just walk faster, it's getting dark, the mountain road is not easy to walk on at night, we have to hurry as much as possible!"
Zhang Qiling quickened his pace upon hearing that. Chen Ze was very fast, so Zhang Qiling had to use all his might to catch up with Chen Ze.
Zhang Qiling followed Chen Ze into the woods. It was pitch black in the woods and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. However, Chen Ze was used to this. However, he was afraid of the darkness now because he thought of his sister.
"Hiss~" Zhang Qiling suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Ze asked.
"Snake, there is a snake here, I stepped on it!" Zhang Qiling said hurriedly.
Chen Ze stopped, took out a flashlight and shone it around.
Sure enough, I saw two or three poisonous snakes as thick as arms wandering in the grass.
"What should I do?" Zhang Qiling was terrified. He didn't dare to get close because the snakes
They are all reddish brown.
"Wait for me for a moment, I'll go make a fire." After saying that, Chen Ze ran towards another big tree.
Chen Ze took out a dagger and cut the nearby weeds, then took out a lighter and set the weeds on fire.
The smoke from the burning weeds dispersed some of the snakes. Chen Ze continued to cut the grass with a dagger and did not stop until he had cut more than twenty plants.
"These flames will attract the attention of the snakes. I will drive them away later. You should leave here quickly." Chen Ze said to Zhang Qiling.
"No, Brother Chen, you stay here alone and we will retreat together." Zhang Qiling refused.
"I don't need help, just leave quickly, I don't like to owe others." Chen Ze urged.
Seeing that his persuasion was futile, Zhang Qiling had no choice but to escape alone.
After Zhang Qiling ran away, Chen Ze picked up a tree branch and stood still. After a few seconds, the venomous snakes that had been hiding emerged and crawled towards Chen Ze.
These poisonous snakes were very greedy. They pounced on Chen Ze after smelling the scent and opened their ferocious fangs to bite him.
At this critical moment, Chen Ze suddenly shouted: "You beast, why don't you surrender!"
The roar shook the mountains and even the snow on the trees fell off.
The poisonous snakes were frightened and fled in panic.
Seeing this, Chen Ze ignored them and instead lowered his head to carefully examine the mummy.
"Strange, why doesn't this body look like it died of poisoning?" Chen Ze asked puzzledly.
The fishy smell just now should have come from this corpse.
"Brother Chen, are you okay?" Zhang Qiling turned back.
"Why are you back again?" Chen Ze asked.
"This... this... Zhang Qiling hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ze was puzzled. It was obvious that something was wrong with Zhang Qiling.
"I'm afraid..." Zhang Qiling replied stutteringly.
"What are you afraid of?" Chen Ze was puzzled. He was not a snake, so what was there to be afraid of? Besides, Chen Ze had fire, so these snakes should be afraid of fire.
"They...they..." Zhang Qiling couldn't explain clearly.
"Aren't they just some small snakes? You see they are not yet adults. They are probably just pets. Don't be afraid. I will take care of it." Chen Ze comforted.
Zhang Qiling wanted to say something, but Chen Ze had already turned around to deal with the poisonous snake, so Zhang Qiling had no choice but to stay beside Chen Ze obediently.
However, what Zhang Qiling didn't know was that the poisonous snakes that were scared away by Chen Ze were not scared away by Chen Ze's aura, but because Chen Ze took out the matches. In this world, no one knows fire better than Chen Ze. In the beginning, Chen Ze was almost killed by poisonous snakes in order to save Ye Yan. Fortunately, Chen Ze reacted in time and won a narrow victory.
Moreover, Chen Ze also used snake gall to make mosquito repellent. These mosquito repellents are not simple. One drop of mosquito repellent is equivalent to half a bottle of white wine. This also made Chen Ze's physique unusually strong.
However, Chen Ze was not aware of this, he just felt that he was becoming more and more sensitive.
"Hiss——" Chen Ze threw the flame in his hand towards the corpse on the ground.
The flames touched the mummy's clothes and immediately a puff of green smoke came out.
Chen Ze saw the change in the corpse's expression and couldn't help but sigh, "How disgusting!"
Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling took a few steps back to avoid being smelled by the stench of the corpse?
Soon after, the corpse began to rot, revealing the white bones inside.
"Brother Chen, why are all these mummies buried? Who is so heartless?" Zhang Qiling asked curiously even though he was afraid.
"I guess someone might be dissatisfied with the current state of these mummies being buried, so they dug them out and buried them," Chen Ze speculated.
"Didn't you say it should be buried in the ground?" Zhang Qiling asked doubtfully.
"Those are superstitions. A true Feng Shui treasure cave will definitely have a tombstone." Chen Ze said.
"Yes, I heard about it from my master." Zhang Qiling nodded.
Chen Ze squatted down and started checking.
"Brother Chen, let me help you!" Zhang Qiling offered.
Chen Ze shook his head. "These things are not suitable for you to touch. Let me do it."
Chen Ze took out a small knife from his waist bag, cleaned off the rotten flesh on the mummy, and put it in his backpack. As for the mummy's internal organs, he threw them all away.
There was no way Chen Ze would eat this kind of thing. Even if he didn't die from it, it would still be disgusting.
Chen Ze checked the thousands of corpses and found a sharp knife stuck in the chest of the mummy. Chen Ze took out the blade and took a look.
There was still blood stain on the handle of the knife.
"What is this knife used for?" Chen Ze asked curiously.
"I don't know." Zhang Qiling shook his head.
Chen Ze was too lazy to ask, so he put the mummy back into the pit, and left with Zhang Qiling.
Chen Ze didn't know that after he left, a lot of fresh flesh and even bones grew under the pile of dry bones.
The two continued to move forward. Chen Ze observed the surrounding environment from time to time and kept the surrounding scenes in mind. This would be important information for Chen Ze to solve the case and find clues in the future.
Finally, Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling came to a fork in the road and didn't know which road led to the village.
"Brother Chen, what do you choose?" Zhang Qiling looked at Chen Ze.
Chen Ze frowned and thought, this place is a bit weird.
Chen Ze looked around and said, "This location looks like a Bagua map. Why don't we follow the Bagua map? Let's go around to the back and come back."
Zhang Qiling nodded.
In the end, Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling chose the road on the left because there were no forks in the road and it was relatively wider.
After walking for a distance, Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling found some corpses, including human corpses, as well as corpses of dogs, pigs, cats and other animals.
"Look! There looks like a cemetery there!" Zhang Qiling shouted in surprise.
Chen Ze also saw that there was indeed a cemetery at the foot of the hill, and many animals and plants died here.
"Is this a mass grave?" Chen Ze muttered to himself.
This was a cemetery, so Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling didn't dare to walk around. They just rested where they were and replenished their food and drinking water.
Chen Ze took out a telescope and observed the cemetery, hoping to find some clues. (End of this chapter)
