Just when Chen Ziyan was silently calculating in his mind the feasibility of his plan, Huo Ling, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked back, and saw half of a huge wolf face appearing on the upper edge of the shelter's hole.
Surprisingly, it was Xue Maitreya from last night, hanging upside down on the ice wall and watching them.
Chen Ziyan could vaguely see that compared to the skinned appearance last night, Xue Maitreya was not only much larger now, but also had an extra layer of wrinkled white skin on the ferocious wolf head. But the impression has not improved at all, and is not even as pleasing to the eye as it was last night.
It seemed that this guy had been lying there for a while. If Huo Ling hadn't accidentally seen him, who was facing the entrance of the cave, there was no telling when he would have been discovered.
Through this incident, Chen Ziyan also understood one thing, that is, although Xue Maitreya may look huge in stature, this special creature has a very special structure and may not make any sound when it moves, otherwise his sensitive hearing would not be able to
I didn't hear any movement at all.
But this only surprised him slightly and did not bring much fear.
After Chen Ziyan thought about it, he raised his hand to signal others not to act rashly, and put his hand into his pocket to grab a handful of salt.
After holding the salt, he planned to get up and drive away the Snow Maitreya.
Since meeting Xue Maitreya, each of them has brought a bag of salt with them, just in case this situation occurs.
If you don't understand creatures like Xue Maitreya, it will be really difficult to deal with them. After all, they are not even afraid of guns. But after knowing their weaknesses, the hidden dangers have been greatly reduced.
This is the case now. For Chen Ziyan, Xue Maitreya is not as much of a threat as the giant wolf.
I don’t know whether it’s because I haven’t seen anyone before, or because I think Chen Ziyan and the others are not threatening. This Snow Maitreya didn’t dodge after being discovered, and still maintained its previous posture.
After facing those empty, dark eyes, Chen Ziyan suddenly had a doubt in his heart, that is, could the guy in front of him still be able to see?
It stands to reason that one cannot see with only the eye sockets left, but the world is so big, full of wonders, and the body of Xue Maitreya is a strange parasite, so he really can't be sure for the moment.
But Chen Ziyan soon got the answer he wanted, because at the moment he stood up, Xue Maitreya, who had been motionless, suddenly quickly retracted his head without realizing it.
This kind of behavior undoubtedly shows that the guy in front of me may not be a nobody in the modern version, but may have too much static vision.
After they were sure that the secretly spying Xue Maitreya had completely left, Chen Ziyan and the others did not pay too much attention to this matter.
When they decided to place the temporary shelter here, they had already thought that Xue Maitreya would visit, which was indeed expected.
Late at night, the wolves did attack again, but the fake defenses created by Chen Ziyan did not have much effect. They only trapped four or five giant wolves, which could only be regarded as a narrow victory.
However, Xue Maitreya, who was supposed to be here, did not show up again, allowing them to rest comfortably for the rest of the time.
Time soon came to the early morning of the next day, and everything was calm. However, when everyone re-entered the nine-story demon building, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Because the first time they came in, they saw that there were more than a dozen corpses suddenly surrounding the frozen soil pit.
These corpses were all tall men. Except for their dark skin and no signs of decay, they looked just like normal people.
When Chen Ziyan saw these corpses for the first time, he recognized that they were from the upper level and were guardians and sacrificers who voluntarily sacrificed themselves for burial.
"Lao Hu, Fatty, did you hear anything last night?" After looking around, Chen Ziyan looked at the two people who were on the last shift last night and asked.
Last night's night was divided into two groups. In the first half of the night, he was guarding with two puppets, and in the second half of the night, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were in charge.
Chen Ziyan was very sure that there was no abnormal noise inside when he was on night watch, so he wanted to see if the two of them noticed anything.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were also confused now. After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, the two brothers looked at each other, and then shook their heads in unison.
"No, although we are resting outside, there is no cover between us. If there is any movement inside, we will not be unable to hear it." After thinking for a while, Hu Bayi shook his head again.
He knew that the problem must have been last night, but he was also sure that he didn't hear any noise.
Wang Kaixuan's face was full of confusion, and his eyes were looking back and forth in this space: "This is really strange. I didn't see an extra door. Where did these rice dumplings come from?" He thought of this problem as soon as he came out of the shock.
"These bodies were not available before midnight yesterday."
At this moment, Black Glasses suddenly said.
After others looked over, he explained: "After the wolves subsided last night, I took a look inside when I came back and didn't see any corpses."
In fact, this was an unintentional move on his part. If it hadn't happened now, I wouldn't even be able to remember it.
"In this case, these corpses appeared in the middle of the night." Chen Ziyan subconsciously rubbed his chin.
This is consistent with his guess.
However, the clues provided by the black glasses still could not help them completely solve their doubts. They only roughly locked in the time when the corpse appeared.
I don’t know why, but at this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of his guess yesterday.
Yesterday, he thought that if something happened next, it would mean that there is still a mysterious third party here.
Now the mysterious appearance of these corpses seems to be verifying his guess.
The emergence of this thought made Chen Ziyan subconsciously alert.
Now he is only two or three steps away from victory, and he will not allow anyone to cause trouble at this time!
With this thought in mind, Chen Ziyan once again turned his attention to the corpses in front of him.
He was very sure that these corpses in front of him were real corpses and not hallucinations. Then the problem came. This place could barely be regarded as a confined space. It was impossible for these corpses to run down from above on their own. This was surprising.
There is a secret door in a place they have never discovered.
"Look at the clothing and posture of these corpses. Are they very similar to the bronze statues we encountered in the Tomb of King Xian?"
At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly said.
The first time she saw these corpses, she felt they were familiar. After careful observation, she discovered that these corpses were simply replicas of the bronze statues in the tomb of King Xian!
