Xiao Di and Dazui immediately gathered around, followed Tan Xuan's gaze and looked down, then stood there for a moment. The hillside on the north side of the Wild Great Wall is gentler than the south side, but it is still steep, and at a glance,
They were all large and small rocks, with very few vegetation, so they were all clearly visible. They saw a protruding boulder on the mountainside diagonally below. There were three people lying on the boulder, to be precise, three corpses.
It's tattered, and people are tattered...
"Go over and have a look!"
Tan Xuan got off the city wall from the broken gap on the side, turned sideways, and after maintaining his balance, he slid down the hillside with his feet in tandem and landed on the boulder. Xiao Di and Da Zui also followed Tan Xuan's example.
posture, followed closely behind in a decent manner.
When he came to the corpse, Tan Xuan took a breath and said, "Good guy, it's so miserable."
"Yes, it's quite cruel." Dazui echoed, but he couldn't see whether her eyes and expression under her sunglasses and mask were the same as Tan Xuan's.
"Ouch..." Xiao Di reacted violently and vomited when he stood on the boulder. He was far away on the top of the mountain just now, and the view here was not clear enough. Now that he is closer, it is different. It is not fear, but pure
Disgusting. Xiao Di has seen dead people before, but this is the first time she has seen such a miserable one. She is completely more ferocious than an evil ghost.
The three corpses in front of me can only be counted as three, because the body is completely mutilated, the neck is bitten to pieces, almost half is missing, the stomach is also broken, and the internal organs inside have disappeared at this moment, including the arms and legs.
It's quite complete, but they all present strange postures, which are obviously impossible for normal people to pose. Their heads are in tatters, but their faces as white as paper are full of frightened expressions, especially their staring eyes.
They were about to burst into tears, and they didn’t know what horrific things they had experienced at the last moment. They were truly dying with their eyes open.
These three men, Xiao Di and Tan Xuan, were both familiar to each other. They had seen them in the photos sent by the person who returned home. However, they did not expect that the first time they saw them was such a scene without any greetings. This was also expected.
It's just that everything has developed in a bad direction, but since they didn't see Su Cheng's body, they are still a little more at ease.
"They were bitten to death. The fatal wound was on the neck. The gash in their abdomen was opened after death, and there was no blood nearby. This should not be the first place where they were killed, but their bodies were still dumped in the wilderness.
Isn’t it a bit unnecessary? If it’s not a waste of time, who would come to this place?”
Dazui squatted in front of the corpse and examined it for a moment before coming to the conclusion that she had dealt with too many dead people. This situation did not cause her any discomfort. Looking back and forth at the corpse was like picking vegetables at the vegetable market. Her tone
It was still turbulent, just like what died in front of him was not three people, but three pieces of white-striped pig that had been disemboweled.
"People came where no one came, and the living turned into dead." Tan Xuan said with a sneer, then looked around and asked softly: "Can you see what it is?"
The big mouth opened the neck of the deceased, pointed to the two hollows made of flesh and blood, and said: "It should be a snake. Judging from the distance between the tooth marks, this snake is not small. The snake's head is at least this big."
Looking at the snake head that was about the same size as a human head drawn out by the big mouth, Xiao Di, who had recovered, couldn't help grinning and asked: "Is it a python?"
Tan Xuan shook his head, "It's not a python. If it were a python, we wouldn't be able to see their bodies."
"They were thrown from above after death." Xiao Di said at the side. "Except for the wounds on their necks and abdomen, other parts of their bodies are completely consistent with the characteristics of corpses thrown from high altitude."
"Not only were their internal organs removed, but their blood and brains were also sucked out. There was a hole in their head."
As Tan Xuan spoke, he raised his head and looked up. There was no obvious hole on the hillside, but Xiao Di's reminder was exactly what he thought, so he climbed up to the top of the mountain again along the same path. What Tan Xuan didn't say was
The ghosts of these three people have also been swallowed up, and there is nowhere to ask if they want to find out anything.
"Um?"
After climbing more than 20 meters, Tan Xuan stopped and turned to look west. Six or seven meters away were two staggered large rocks. Such huge rocks are not uncommon on this mountain.
, but he saw a layer of mist in the gap between the stones. The mist was not heavy and it was difficult to detect if you were not paying attention. However, Tan Xuan also smelled a faint fishy smell, including blood and some wild beasts.
smell.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Di and Dazui also followed. Seeing Tan Xuan looking in the other direction with a frown, they all looked there in unison.
Tan Xuan took a few steps forward, and a hidden cave entrance appeared in front of him. Tan Xuan raised his chin and said, "There is a hole here, and that guy should be here."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and save Su Cheng and the others, otherwise they will be like those two guys."
Xiao Difeng was about to rush into the cave, but as soon as he moved, he was held back by Tan Xuan.
"The guy's lair may be in front of you. I don't know what's going on inside. You stay outside and don't go there. Big mouth, as usual, I'll go in front and you stay behind. If you find any danger, just take action."
"knew."
Dazui reached back and pulled out a knife from his waist. The knife was not long, and it was still broken, but the blade was radiating cold light. At first glance, it was a full-blown murder weapon. After Dazui pulled out the knife, his aura also changed.
It became sharper and seemed more like a knife than that sword, just slightly unsheathed.
"No, I have to go with you." Xiao Di said firmly.
"Don't make trouble. What you are facing this time is not a ghost, but a demon. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. It is too dangerous inside. I can't let you go in. Dazui and I can go in."
"No, I can rest assured as long as I am by your side." Xiao Di did not give way, and continued without waiting for Tan Xuan to say anything else: "And how do you know that if there is danger inside, it will not be dangerous outside? What if there is something else outside?
Thing, I was killed, and you didn’t even know it inside.”
"Don't talk nonsense." Tan Xuan immediately interrupted Xiao Di. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "You walk between me and Dazui. Don't move after entering."
"Yes!" Xiao Di nodded obediently, and the anger on his face instantly turned into a smile.
Tan Xuan took the lead and turned around the two stones covering the entrance of the cave. He bent down and entered the cave entrance carefully. He bent down and walked three or four meters, then turned a corner. The cave suddenly opened up. Not only could he straighten up, but even when he jumped, he would hit the cave entrance.
It doesn't reach the top of the cave, but the light inside is very dark and winding. As we go deeper, it not only gets darker and darker, but the temperature inside the cave becomes higher and higher.
Tan Xuan took out the candle he had received from Yan Luo from his bag and lit it. The darkness in front of his eyes was eroded by the candlelight, but the hole continued to extend inward, so Tan Xuan could only continue to take the lead and explore forward.
After walking at least a hundred steps, Tan Xuan suddenly stopped at a turning position. At the same time, he covered the light he was holding with his hands. Xiao Di behind him failed to stand still and bumped directly into Tan Xuan's body.
"How did you..."
"Shh..."
Tan Xuan made a silence gesture, Xiao Di immediately covered his mouth, and Da Zui, who was walking at the end, carried her broken knife behind her back, but she didn't know when she had already taken off her broken knife.
A pair of sunglasses.
After the three people remained motionless in silence for a moment, Xiao Di finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Did you find something?"
"Did you hear the sound of water flowing?" Tan Xuan asked in a low voice.
Xiao Di pricked up her ears, listened, and shook her head. She knew that Tan Xuan's perception was much better than that of normal people. She couldn't hear it, maybe it was just because of the distance, especially when she saw the big mouth behind her.
He nodded and saw that the difference was indeed obvious.
Big Mouth said in an indifferent voice: "This cave should be connected to an underground hot water river. Haven't you noticed that the higher the temperature in the most prosperous place, the higher the humidity in the air? Now the surrounding stone walls are covered with water vapor.
We should be not far from the hot water river. Keep walking, I feel like we are getting closer to that guy."
Turning and walking in, the passage became much wider and higher, and it was no longer as dark as before. The walls on both sides were glowing with a bright green light. Although it was not too bright, it allowed them to see without the help of candles.
Got something.
After turning two more corners, we could clearly hear the sound of running water, and the water vapor in the cave suddenly became heavier, and there was a thin layer of water around us.
The mist, set against the glowing stones, actually had a slightly ethereal feel, and it also made the three of them feel that they were obviously more clothed.
Tan Xuan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to signal those behind him not to move.
"What's wrong?"
"The smell of blood ahead is very strong. We should be not far from where the two people were killed."
"oh!"
When Xiao Di heard this, she immediately became more energetic, and at the same time she quietly took out her discharge pen from her pocket. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, she felt a little more confident when she held it in her hand.
After walking not far, a small river appeared in front of them. The water was not deep and the current was not fast, but heat was constantly wafting out from the water.
"There they are."
Xiao Di, who was behind Tan Xuan, suddenly pointed to the other side of the river and shouted, there were two people lying there. Although the light was not very good, the clothes of the two people were thin, and their genders could be seen from their undulating curves. Not only were there people there,
, there are backpacks and some scattered food next to the person.
However, Xiao Di pointed at the two people and spoke, while Tan Xuan and Da Zui turned to look at the lower reaches of the Geothermal River, where the water flow gathered into a large pool with mist on the surface and a smooth surface on the edge of the pool.
The boulders are just like the matching jade beds beside the pool in the bath, which are convenient for bathers to relieve their fatigue.
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Di looked at Tan Xuan and Dazui puzzledly, seeing that their eyes were full of annoyance, and Tan Xuan's face was even more ugly and scary. She hurriedly used the "One Leaf Blind Eye" taught to her by Yao Hua to look over there.
.
"ah!"
Xiao Di glanced at it and quickly turned his head back, his face turning red instantly.
"They...you..."
Xiao Di glared at Tan Xuan and Dazui and stamped his feet in anger.
