The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 92 Seduction
After I finished speaking, Zhou Xuanye laughed, and said: "Who said we are going to collect demons? I haven't lived enough yet, so I won't take the initiative to die. I suspect that the mysterious person may be Wang Aiguo, but he He hides and refuses to show up, we have to find a way to lure him out."

"How to lead?"

Zhou Xuanye waved his hand and said: "We'll talk about it tomorrow, let's go to rest first." Helpless, I can only sleep first.I woke up at six o'clock the next morning, everyone had breakfast in place, and then led the camels to the meeting place I went to yesterday.

The morning sun was not too strong, and the light was oblique. In the deep venue, half was exposed in the light, and half was hidden in the dark.

Wang Zehai exclaimed, "Like the Colosseum, what do you think this place is used for?"

Han Zitong speculated, "Probably for performance."

"No." Chai Kuan said, "This is a sacrificial place." After he said this, we realized that Chai Kuan was engaged in archaeology anyway, and he must have more experience in appraisal than us in this area.Zhou Xuanye smiled and said, "How can you see that?"

Chai Kuan pointed to some patterns on the side of the stone steps, which were crooked and vine-like patterns, combined to form a round sphere.Chai Kuan pointed to them and explained: "This is a symbol of a yellow nest. We call it 'coiled branches'. Does it look like a bunch of branches coiled together?"

Han Zitong tilted his head and said, "It's more like a snake."

"Yes, Shemo." Chai Kuan gave a wry smile, and said, "We found out too late, we didn't even think about Shemo at first." He shook his head, stood up and looked down at the whole venue, He said: "The ancient kingdom of Huangchao enshrines the goddess Shemo. This venue is likely to be the place where Goddess Shemo is worshipped. If I guessed correctly..." He paused, looked at me, and said, "The stone gate you mentioned, It is likely that it leads to the golden spring, and the Goddess Snakema lives in it."

Thinking of that monster-like thing waiting for an opportunity in the sea of ​​sand under your feet makes people feel uncomfortable all over.I just want to settle this matter as soon as possible, find Wang Aiguo, and go back to the office quickly.Only after being extremely exhausted can one realize how important it is to have a stable environment that can shelter from wind and rain.Even the simple layout and remote location of that office still evokes a deep nostalgia.

So I asked Zhou Xuanye next to me: "Brother Zhou, what was that seduction plan you mentioned last night?"

He said: "[-]. When the Goddess Shemo harmed you, that person suddenly appeared and saved you; [-]. The figure last night, there is a very high probability that it is the same person who saved you." I nodded, Zhou Xuanye then Continued: "From these two points, it can be concluded that the intrusion of our group has actually attracted the attention of that mysterious person, including now, he is likely to be nearby to observe our actions." He said so , I couldn't help looking around.

Zhou Xuanye smiled and said: "Don't look, he is very familiar with the terrain here, so he will naturally find the easiest angle to monitor us."

Tan Ren urged: "Okay, what are you talking about, let's start." The two have worked together for a long time, and they have a tacit understanding. They seem to have understood each other's thoughts, but I can be sure that since going to bed last night, Tan Yan Jian had never been alone with Zhou Xuanye, and the two of them had no time to communicate alone.

Knowing the other party's plan in this way is a bit too powerful.

But soon, I knew why, because the two started a fire on the spot, and set up our portable milk pot, poured water into it, and finally added sulfur eggs. The boiling water with a strong sulfur smell began to churn, and the air was filled with a sulfur smell.

I suddenly remembered the legend that Chai Kuan said about dealing with the Snake Man. It is said that splashing the thing with running yellow water is very effective. Could it be that they boiled this pot of water to deal with the Snake Goddess?Didn't you say don't provoke it?
Wang Zehai was also full of doubts, and said, "I said, why do you do this?"

Tan Ren said unhurriedly: "The mysterious man is so familiar with the terrain here, which means he has been in this place for a long time. How can he live in the land of the Goddess Snake for a long time? Based on this." Tan Ren picked up the That sulfur stone arrow.

Immediately afterwards, he said again: "The desert is not a place where sulfur stones are produced, right?" He was asking Han Zitong this question.Han Zitong nodded immediately, and said, "There will be, but rarely, it depends on luck."

I vaguely understand what they want to do.

Sure enough, Tan Ren went on to say: "So, sulfur must be a very scarce resource for that mysterious man. He guarded outside our camp last night, most likely because of this arrow." Zhou Xuanye on the side added Said: "It may also be because of our sulfur eggs." At that time, we did add sulfur eggs to the fire for peace of mind. This thing has a strong smell and can be spread far.

Obviously, now they are boiling water just to lure that mysterious person with this, and if something unexpected happens, such as the snake goddess getting out of it, we may also pour the water out to buy time to escape. A relatively safe way.

This method worked very well. When the pot of water was boiling for about ten minutes, I suddenly heard a movement.Chai Kuan was also the one who heard this movement with me. We should be the most sensitive people in the team.

The sound came from the right rear of me. There were many broken ridges and broken walls in that area. The sound just now was like the sound of stones rolling down when my feet slipped.

Chai Kuan ran out one step ahead of me. This time it was daytime, and a group of us chased after him. Although the man ran fast, he left footprints on the ground, and we finally caught him.Among them, Zhou Xuanye's tutorial was the fastest, and at the end he jumped and pressed the man to the ground, face down and back up.

The man kept struggling, Zhou Xuanye reached out and pressed his neck, threatening: "Don't move, otherwise I don't care if I miss it."

The man stopped moving immediately.The rest of us had just gathered around at this time, and saw that the person who was pressed on the ground was naked except for a piece of rags around the waist and crotch. There are four arrows in the original quiver, and in his hand, he is holding a very beautiful bow. If you look carefully, the bow is also embedded with gems, matching it with this primitive man. , There is a strong sense of violation.

I was a little excited, the identity of this mysterious person was finally revealed.

Is he Wang Aiguo?

I walked in front of him and raised his head with my hand. I imagined that if he was Wang Aiguo, he would probably have an old face, but I didn't expect to see a familiar face, cloth A face covered with green scales.

"Ah!" All of us were surprised by this result, and when I was frightened, I let go of my hand suddenly.

This, how could this be a snake man?
No, why does he only have scales on his face but not on his body?
"Let me go!" The man struggled and grinned at me.

When they were able to see this green face, the rest of the people reacted similarly to me, but immediately afterward, everyone's next reaction was almost the same, that is, they pulled out their daggers and surrounded him.Such a dangerous 'person', we cannot let him escape.

Zhou Xuanye showed surprise, but he seemed very patient, and said: "I think you are different from other snake people, you should be conscious, right? We don't have any malicious intentions, we just want to talk to you and confirm Issues."

The person being pinned down didn't move. He turned his head to look at Zhou Xuanye, who was pinning him down with his knees and hands. There was no expression on his scaly face, but he was surprised by the voice: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Zhou Xuanye smiled and said, "Why should I be afraid of you?"

The snake said: "Aren't you afraid of the things on my face?"

However, Zhou Xuanye replied very arrogantly: "Believe me, I have seen many people who are scarier than you." To be honest, when I heard this sentence, I felt a little itchy in my heart. Is he bragging or is he Ever seen something scarier?

What kind of experience did Zhou Xuanye have before I entered the firm?
The snake man stared at Zhou Xuanye with wide eyes, and after a while, he said, "Okay, let me go, what do you want to ask?"

Zhou Xuanye let go of the man, and the snake man really had no intention of running away, he just sat up, twisted his neck, and said: "No matter what the reason is for you to come to this place, I advise you, if you want to survive, leave quickly Here, this is not a place for people."

I said: "We are here to find someone, and that person is called Wang Aiguo." When I said this, I stared at his face, hoping to see if he would have other reactions when he heard this name.Soon, I saw him. He shook his body and said, "Wang Aiguo? What are you looking for him for?"

Tan Ren said calmly, "You know him?"

The man looked a little vigilant and said, "Tell me the reason first."
