People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chen Ziyan felt that the purpose of these people coming here was very likely to be related to some secret information that the Zhang family possessed.

It's just that he's not sure about it, and he doesn't have any evidence, so it's not suitable to tell Old Dog Wu.

And he didn't want the other party to see that he knew too much about the Zhang family. That's not a good thing, at least not at this stage.

Although the two parties are now allies, this relationship is not reliable. After all, for the group of Jiumen, the Zhang family is not a good person.

"That's true." Old Dog Wu hesitated for a moment, then said embarrassingly.

It's not that he didn't suspect that Chen Ziyan was perfunctory, after all, these words were too ambiguous.

But after thinking about the things Master Zhang did in the past, Old Dog Wu suddenly lost the confidence to refute, because even he felt that the other party sometimes did things out of order.

"Fifth Master, let's go over there and have a look."

Although Chen Ziyan didn't know what Wu Laogou was thinking, he could hear the meaning of coping in the other party's words, so he took the initiative to stop the topic.

There are only so many clues on the corpse, if you want to find more, you must turn your attention to other places.

After observation, Chen Ziyan successfully deduced which direction they came from based on factors such as the fallen posture of these corpses and the distance between them.

Wu Laogou didn't need Chen Ziyan to explain too much, he just took a few glances at the underground corpse, and he understood what he meant, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

As a person who has been with bulldogs for decades, and he is also an expert in tracking and tracking, he naturally understood Chen Ziyan's intentions easily.

Knowing that he wanted to follow the path of the corpse to find new clues.

Facts proved that Chen Ziyan's idea was right, because they followed the path they came from for not long before they successfully obtained new gains.

The harvest this time was a rusty and mottled short knife, because the short knife was inserted into the branch of an underground plant, so Chen Ziyan discovered this 'bright' clue immediately after he came here.

"Judging from the angle and position of the dagger, it should not be a mark left on purpose, but rather a subconscious product after the body loses its calmness." Wu Laogou expressed his opinion after turning around in front of the plant.

Perhaps for better expression, while he was speaking, he also made a movement of staggering while running, which can be regarded as a replica of the situation at that time.

Chen Ziyan nodded at the side, and further added: "From this point of view, the owner of the dagger was indeed moving fast at that time, and the situation was very urgent, which resulted in him not even having time to pull out the weapon again. "

Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Old Dog Wu couldn't help looking at his nephew in his hand, and said with emotion:
"Our luck is really good, we found this thing not long after we came down."

Unsurprisingly, the dagger in front of him was left by the corpses in front of him. He is also a battle-hardened person. Combining the existing clues with a little imagination, he simulated the scene at that time in his mind.

Thinking about it again, if they were in the same situation, how could Old Dog Wu go so deep, he would have retreated long ago with lost troops.

"Yes, compared to them, they are indeed luckier." Chen Ziyan was also quite emotional.

This underground space is really one after another. If there is no living amulet like nephew, how can they be so leisurely now, they must have followed in the footsteps of these predecessors.

"Chen Xiaoyou, where do you think these people came from?" Wu Laogou looked at the dagger for a while, his eyes rolled slightly, and suddenly asked such a question.

Obviously, these kinds of abnormalities caused doubts in his heart.

Chen Ziyan naturally thought about this a long time ago, and said after hearing the words: "It should be another entrance."

If there were no previous traces, he might still think that these people came in from the same location as them.

But no matter how you look at it now, it will not be like this, because if those people also came down from the cliff, they would not have left no traces in front of them, but left many traces in the depths of the underground jungle.

From Chen Ziyan's point of view, this undoubtedly showed one thing, that is, the group of people who might have come from the Zhang family did not enter here in the same way as them.

"Well, it makes sense." Old Dog Wu nodded in agreement.

He couldn't help but disagree with this, because all the clues found so far are confirming this point.

After staying for a while, Chen Ziyan and the others made sure that there was nothing else around them, and they left here to continue going deeper.

Neither of the two touched the rusty short knife. It is now equivalent to a piece of scrap iron. Instead of taking it away, it is better to keep it where it is and make a mark.

Because of the discovery of the dagger, Chen Ziyan thought that they would find more lost things in the next journey.

After all, judging from the previous situation, it all shows that the team encountered danger at the beginning, and thus began to flee in a panic.

But what Chen Ziyan didn't expect was that he didn't encounter any remnants for a long way behind, but instead found a ruins of a camp site that was already dilapidated.

"It doesn't look small here." Chen Ziyan looked at the outline of the camp and said.

Although only part of the tent is left here, the overall outline is still there, and the specific size can still be seen.

"That's right, there should be quite a lot of people in that team." Wu Laogou came up with a general answer in his heart when he first saw the ruins of the camp.

Chen Ziyan didn't do much research on these things, so he asked, "Fifth Master, do you have any specific figures?"

If a more accurate number can be obtained, it will be of some help to their next exploration.

Wu Laogou thought for a while, and said: "This kind of tent is a very old style. I remember that it usually accommodates three to four people. There used to be six tents here. We counted each tent as full. That team should be between twenty and thirty."

Chen Ziyan thought about it for a while and felt that this number was very reliable. In the early years, whether it was the expedition team or the seniors who stole the door, their behavior style was far more ostentatious than now.

Although not everyone is as labor-intensive as Xiling, but at that time, any powerful force had to act together with dozens of people when doing things.

And there are Zhang family members in this team, so this number will only go up or down.

Besides, it is still in such an underground place that it is difficult for outsiders to find, even if the number of people is doubled, it is not surprising.

"Then we still haven't found many corpses, fifth master, do you think those people were not wiped out back then." Chen Ziyan asked thoughtfully.

After confirming that the slender monster belonged to the Zhang family, he subconsciously thought that those people were all planted here.

After all, they had seen the terrifying scale of the black-haired snake group with their own eyes, and even the Zhang family, who had special blood and special skills, were smashed here, subconsciously thinking that the entire team would not be spared.

But now the appearance of this camp and the estimated number of people made Chen Ziyan a little uncertain.

Because the number of corpses they found was too small to match.

Wu Laogou looked around, shook his head slightly and denied: "This should be the depths of the underground jungle. It was difficult for those people to escape without nephews. I think they should have fled in all directions at a critical moment, so we Didn't get to see all the bodies."

But having said that, there is still a guess in Wu Laogou's heart, that is, the remaining corpses are like the slender monster, reduced to black flying sons controlled by black-haired snakes, that's why they were not seen on the road. .

It's just that he didn't have evidence to prove this, so he didn't say it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it wasn't.

Of course, the most important thing is that they are protected by nephews. Neither the black-haired snake nor the black fly will approach them, and the other party will even take the initiative to avoid them.

Chen Ziyan glanced around the dilapidated campsite, and felt that Old Dog Wu did have some truth.

Although after years of changes, there are not many clues here, but it can also be seen that when the accident happened here, the people here were in a state of panic.

Thinking of the boundless black-haired snake like a wave, Chen Ziyan felt that it was normal for those people to be forced to panic by the swarming black-haired snake without the protection of his nephew.

After all, in the face of such a situation, who can think about where to go.

Even if there are people in the team who are not chaotic in the face of danger, it is impossible to control the situation in an extremely chaotic situation.

After all, no matter whether it is an expedition team or a tomb robber, there is no such discipline as the army, and it is the real norm to fly separately when a disaster is imminent!
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan made a preliminary determination of one thing.

That is, the group of people who came here at the beginning were not all from the Zhang family, there should only be some Zhang family members among them.

It is even very possible that the only person in the team who turned into a slender monster is the Zhang family.

This is not impossible. Although the Zhang family did not fall apart at that time, it is not impossible for the Zhang family to sneak into other teams. You must know that the Wang family is not unique to the Wang family.

If it is true, the Wang family still learned from the Zhang family.

"Fifth Master, do you think we are about to touch another entrance here?" Chen Ziyan thought of another question at this moment, and asked Wu Laogou.

Now it is basically certain that the original group of people did not have nephews in their hands, so they would definitely not rashly go deep into the underground jungle to camp. Doesn't this mean that this place is not far from the entrance they came in.

Wu Laogou also thought of this when he reminded him, but just as he was about to nod, he suddenly noticed a bit of a violation: "No, if this is the entrance, why don't the people in this camp How about going back the same way?"

You must know that instead of running into the unknown jungle, the path when you come is undoubtedly safer.

"This...unless..." Chen Ziyan paused for a moment, and slowly said an answer: "Unless the way they came from is more dangerous in their opinion."

This is not a difficult question, and a reasonable answer can be obtained with a little substitution.

"The way to come is more dangerous?" Wu Laogou nodded: "It is very possible, otherwise there is no need to disperse, it is safer to go back directly."

While saying this, his eyes were patrolling the ruins in front of him, wanting to see if he could find which direction was the way.

Wu Laogou was very interested in the place where these people came down. If he could hold it in his hands, he felt that he might be able to take another, more subtle way to control this precious underground space. (end of this chapter)
