Fang Linyan stepped on the stone and aimed at the top of the cave, and immediately found a crack there.
The crack was actually blocked by dead leaves and straw. Fang Linyan couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart that the monster was just a monster and could only play such clever tricks.
"Do you think I can't see it if it's blocked?"
"Brother, this is deep in the cave. Why did dead leaves and straw drift in? It's obviously man-made. Doesn't it make it clear that there are good things hidden here?"
With a sense of superiority that overwhelmed his IQ, Fang Linyan simply grabbed the straw exposed in front of the crack, then reached out and pulled it out easily.
But, why is there a puff of smoke... coming out of the gap?
Or a yellow-green smoke?!!!
Why is this smoke so similar to what that old yellow guy sprayed out...
Then, Fang Linyan felt that his entire respiratory system collapsed, his vision went dark, and he fell down from the stone stool.
As a contractor, his body was digitized. Fang Linyan couldn't bear the poisonous gas attack any longer. His whole body was convulsing violently. Fortunately, Rubes was by his side and dragged him out biting his heels.
.
Next, Fang Linyan followed Luo Yong's footsteps and lay down on the beach of the nearby river, vomiting loudly.
The terrible feeling is indescribable. It's like the entire respiratory system is filled with fermented shit, and it's like the internal organs are beginning to rot from the inside out, and there are fat and white maggots squirming.
.......
Of course, this has a lot to do with Fang Linyan's meager six points of physical strength.
After he felt a little better, Fang Linyan realized with sadness and annoyance that it was not the monster that had been crushed by his IQ, but himself.
After recovering for a while, Fang Linyan gritted his teeth and held his nose before returning there, and then very carefully let Rubes transform into a mechanical elite warrant officer again, and he took out the rest of the things.
However, there was no other mechanism, so Lubbers easily took out all the things inside. Fang Linyan took these things outside as if he was running away, so as to stay away from the cave that was full of nightmare-like smells.
"Well...is this the mechanism used to plot against me?"
The first thing Fang Linyan noticed was something that looked like a urine bubble. It was this thing that spurted extremely exciting farts from inside, which made Fang Linyan suffer a big loss.
Rubes investigated it and found that the name of this thing was extremely poetic, called Yun Yan Qi.
It is actually a magic weapon that can generate ecstasy farts every once in a while, but unfortunately, it must inject unique monster power into it.
Then Fang Linyan discovered a strange bone rod.
This thing seems to be made of calf bones. If you look closely, it has many patterns and several holes drilled on it. It looks very rough and messy.
However, there is a word "高" engraved on the front.
There are two rows of small words on the back, which is the voucher for entering the village. If it is lost, it will not be replaced.
Fang Linyan waved it in the air, and it immediately let out a sharp whistle. It sounded extremely harsh, as if it was going to pierce into people's eardrums, and it was very scary.
Next to the bone stick, there was actually an invitation that seemed to be made of some kind of leather. There was a line of writing on it, and it looked very crooked.
The tone of the person who wrote the invitation was very condescending. It said that the 15th of this month was their boss’s birthday, and the person/demon who received it must arrive on time.
Otherwise, after the birthday, people from the Gaojia Inn will definitely come to visit me one after another.
The other item is probably the Ice Bead mentioned before, which is still a prop that cannot be used directly. It still maintains the feature of being sold at a low price, and the characters in the plot of this world may purchase it at a high price.
The last item turned out to be a tiger skin, which looked majestic and domineering. The prop description was that it was the skin of a demon tiger.
In addition, Fang Linyan also found more than twenty taels of silver inside, which should be the currency of this world and came from the victims of the monster's murder.
"Gaojia Inn..." Fang Linyan chewed the place name repeatedly.
"It seems that I can do something with this!"
Next, it was necessary to start long-distance tracking. Fang Linyan asked Lubos to smell the rock Zhou Zhuo was leaning on, and began to capture the blood and the unique smell of Zhou Zhuo.
Suddenly, in the field of vision shared by Rubes, the smell was visualized.
Looking around, you can see large clouds of blood-colored mist everywhere, indicating that the smell of blood is everywhere in the area.
However, if you look down from a high place, you can see that there are only two lines formed by multiple masses of blood-colored mist extending into the distance.
One of the blood-colored mist paths points to the way to Shangshu's Tomb. It is the blood-stained smell path left by the injured Zhou Zhuo when he was escorted here.
However, another path of blood-colored mist starts from the big stone in front of the cave entrance and extends to the upper reaches of the river. This is the path Zhou Zhuo left following the person from the Gaojia Inn who came to exchange.
"Damn, I've wasted too much time here, I need to hurry up."
Fang Linyan said to himself.
Then, with Rubes leading the way, the group of people quickly disappeared into the woods.
What Fang Linyan didn't know was that there was already a group of uninvited guests next to the tomb of the Minister where he had stayed before. They were Koi and the Arctic Circle group.
This group of people was reviewing the situation at the battle scene and began to analyze the situation at that time.
Koi and Bill are both tracking experts in this regard. The first thing Bill found was the fragments of a high-explosive grenade. He put it next to his nose and smelled it. He couldn't help but lost his voice and said:
"This is a typical thick-walled high-explosive grenade, with forty steel balls embedded in it. The aborigines of this world cannot play with this thing. Could someone have beaten us to it?"
Koi knelt half on the ground, stretched out two fingers to measure the footprints in front of him, and then said calmly:
"This guy who used grenades left almost no traces of his actions here, indicating that he should be an assassin or a thief."
"If you look at these footprints, they look a bit like those of a wolf, but to be able to make such deep footprints in the soil with such a density, the weight of this beast is also amazing."
"According to my database analysis, its body density is eight times that of an adult male wolf! It is impossible for such a monster to appear in nature."
"So, isn't its true identity ready to be revealed? It's a demon!!"
Bill nodded, glanced at Koi approvingly, then communicated with her for a while and said:
"So, the more reasonable explanation at present is that the Fang Xiaoqi we are looking for came here and was attacked by monsters."
"The types of monsters we can currently identify include the weasel monster..."
"The air analyzer at the scene showed that the magic released by this monster is comparable to a biochemical gas attack. The components remaining in the air can cause a devastating blow to the respiratory system of ordinary humans."
"There is also an out-and-out ferocious beast. Its jumping and attacking abilities are far beyond our knowledge. Even among monsters, it should be at the top of the food chain."
"At this time, a scout-type contractor came here. He should have fired a grenade at Fang Xiaoqi from a distance, trying to carry out a direct decapitation strike."
"Unfortunately, he obviously failed. The monster seemed to be protecting Fang Xiaoqi's life."
Having said this, Bill put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly and said:
"The above is a reasonable analysis inferred based on the existing materials. Now let's ask Ms. Koi to make an inference without evidence."
Koi said coldly:
"Fang Xiaoqi seems to be protected by monsters. There are only two reasons for this."
"First, he colluded with monsters,"
"Second, the monster is not short of food at the moment, so we need to take him back as a food reserve."
"Among them, the probability of colluding with monsters is small, because making friends with strong people requires capital. According to our investigation of Fang Xiaoqi, he is a timid and ordinary person."
Arctic Circle smiled and said:
"So that means we have to snatch the monsters' food from their hands next?"
"No, that's not right, we just need to kill Fang Xiaoqi."
Having said this, a smile finally appeared in his eyes, and then he looked at the koi:
"Fortunately, we have an expert in our team who is good at harvesting enemy lives from thousands of meters away."
Koi seemed to be accustomed to such words, and nodded politely, then continued to kneel on the ground, carefully searching for traces on the ground.
After five minutes, she suddenly raised her head:
"Going this way, they...could they have entered the tomb of Shangshu."
***
Fang Linyan knew nothing about tracking.
Fortunately, Rubes is quite sharp in this regard.
But now they also encountered a big trouble, that is, the line formed by the blood-colored mist in the air began to turn, and then extended to the wide river in front.
The smell on the river surface will obviously be blown away more easily, so the blood-colored mist on the river surface begins to become thinner.
Obviously, the fish monster took Zhou Zhuo onto the boat here and turned to sail downstream.
According to Fang Linyan's judgment, this river should be the river at Dasongdu, and it is also the river that flows through the fishing village of Fangjiazhuang, but now it is located downstream of the river.
In desperation, Fang Linyan could only run down the river. After running for about a mile or two, he saw a fishing boat appearing on the river in front of him.
Fang Linyan shouted loudly, of course the main reason was that he took out a couple of white coins in his hand, and the boatman of the fishing boat quickly came over.
Then he was pulled off by Fang Linyan, and he casually threw five taels of silver to him, adding the following sentence:
"Come downstream and get your boat."
Then Fang Linyan jumped on the boat and drove it away.
