When he reached the edge of the cliff, Wu Xie looked back at Lao Ji who was still snoring. Then, he looked away and asked Ding Ze in a low voice, "Is he really asleep?"
Ding Ze was actually not entirely sure. After all, Lao Chu was an unfathomable guy. "It's hard to say. There's an 80 to 90 percent chance that he's asleep."
Wu Xie didn't dwell on this, "Brother Ding, the fact that he left here three years ago is very problematic. You already have an idea about this, right?"
Ding Ze smiled faintly. He found it interesting that Wu Xie didn't worry about whether Lao Chu was really asleep.
'It should be because walking all the way here, I have been forced to have a better understanding of Lao Itchi.'
'It seems that Comrade Wu Xie's innocence has become less naive.'
Ding Ze thought and said, "I have some ideas."
"I think there should be some very important secrets in the process of him leaving this road at that time."
"I'm afraid these secrets are the key to his ability to get out... and I'm afraid they are directly related to the huge benefit he mentioned."
"Well," Wu Xie responded with a dull tone, "I think so too, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to climb up the cliff, then climb the waterfall, and finally leave alive just by relying on him alone."
After Wu Xie finished speaking, he asked again, "Brother Ding, what are the secrets he concealed and the great benefits? What are they?"
Ding Ze shook his head.
Now is not the time to tell the answer to this question.
However, with a little hint, there's nothing wrong with it.
"It's hard to say for now."
"I have been thinking that I haven't been able to get enough clues yet... Suppose that three years ago, Lao Itch really used some special method to get out safely by following the way we came in, instead of...
With the help of others, I was able to escape smoothly."
"Then, I think the special method he used is very likely to have nothing to do with any obvious artifacts he obtained from the ancient tomb."
"After all, bright weapons are of little use in climbing cliffs and waterfalls."
"That is to say..."
Having said this, Ding Ze decisively stopped talking and remained silent, waiting for Wu Xie to use his imagination.
Wu Xie did indeed do this.
I saw Wu Xie's brows raised, his face changed, and his face was full of horror, "You mean, it's possible that Lao Itch got some kind of... ability in the ancient tomb and improved himself? So, it's a huge benefit.
In fact...can it change people?"
Wu Xie asked, his tone almost full of disbelief. He felt that this idea was really unbelievable.
Ding Ze noticed it and grinned. Then, without rushing to reply, he just took out a cigarette and handed one to Wu Xie. He lit another one and took a deep puff before replying.
"In fact, I also think this idea is very ridiculous."
"So, in my opinion, at present, the most likely and reasonable explanation should be..."
"This guy Lao Itch is very well hidden. In fact, he is very powerful both in terms of skill and physical strength. He is as powerful as that magical guy Zhang Qiling... In this case, it would be normal for him to be able to get out safely three years ago.
.”
"But, if this is the case, what are the great benefits?"
"Could it be something that can live forever?"
Ding Ze said in one breath.
After listening to this, Wu Xie frowned for a moment, kept silent, and smoked his cigarette fiercely.
--------------------------
Time passes slowly.
After smoking out about half of the cigarette in his mouth, Wu Xie shook his head and said in a solemn tone.
"It can be said that Lao Itch and I have been playing together since childhood. In the past few years, we have become a little distant. I think I can at least know 90% of how capable he is."
"I don't believe he will be as powerful as the magical guy!"
"Besides, if you take a step back, he is really that powerful... Then why did he try every possible means to trick me into coming here? This doesn't make sense at all."
"Besides, if Tian Da's benefit is really related to immortality, he doesn't need to trick me into coming here. This doesn't make sense."
Ding Ze blew out the smoke and smiled, "It's not completely unreasonable."
When Wu Xie heard this, he looked confused: "?????How do you say that?"
Ding Ze: "Maybe, as he said before, he treats you as a brother and hopes that you can also get that huge benefit."
Wu Xie was speechless again.
For a while.
The cigarette in his hand burned out.
Wu Xie stamped out the cigarette butt and let out a long sigh, "Damn it, this is a stupid thing. The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes. I can't figure it out at all. I shouldn't have come, I should go back immediately."
Ding Ze: "^_^, the question is, your curiosity is so strong, and you have come this far, are you willing to give up?"
Wu Xie: "Uh... Brother Ding, is it appropriate for you to speak so directly?"
Ding Ze smiled, "If you have to separate people, I will pay attention when talking to the magical guy. When I talk to you, you don't need to pay so much attention. You understand what I mean."
Wu Xie: "[○?｀Д′?○]!!!!"
Wu Xie was speechless.
My breathing suddenly became much heavier.
Fortunately, this state of affairs did not last long.
Not long after.
Wu Xie moved his mouth, made a sound, skipped the topic, pretended not to have heard it, and asked, "By the way, Brother Ding, about the corpse before and the dream I had, do you know what happened?"
Is it the same thing?"
Ding Ze: "That corpse may have appeared there by chance, or it may have been an accomplice who left with Lao Itch three years ago and ended up at the waterfall, where he accidentally died..."
"The possibility of the latter is very slim. Because if that corpse was Lao Itch's accomplice during his lifetime, Lao Itch has no need to hide it. Even if the death of that person was caused by Lao Itch, Lao Itch can still say whatever he wants.
Sentence, fool it."
Ding Ze was talking nonsense.
Wu Xie nodded, agreeing, and had no doubts.
"As for that dream you had..."
After a pause, Ding Ze silently organized his words, "I have a guess, but I can't say it now."
Hear this.
Wu Xie was a little confused, "o((⊙﹏⊙))o??? Can't say it now? What does this mean?"
Ding Ze: "Literally, don't ask. I will tell you when the time is right."
Wu Xie was unhappy, "...Brother Ding, you talk like this...can I beat you?"
Ding Ze grinned, "O(n_n)O~~~Are you sure you can beat me?"
Wu Xie: "...I'm sleepy. I'll sleep for a few hours. When the time comes, wake me up and I'll keep watch."
After leaving a depressed sentence, Wu Xie turned around and walked back quickly.
In the blink of an eye, he was lying on the stone beach next to the bonfire again.
See this scene.
Ding Ze was so happy that he shook his head with laughter.
'How funny.'
After saying something silently, Ding Ze raised his feet and returned to the bonfire, continuing his vigil.
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, it was past six in the morning.
