Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 436 Exit ([-]st update)
Wu Chen followed the sound and saw a ghost standing at the end of the team who had all the parts on his body, but his face was dark. Wu Chen knew that this was the leader of the Yin soldiers. In line with the combat purpose of capturing the thief first, Wu Chen He flew up, but he didn't expect that some of the Yin soldiers who were lining up to die would actually float up.

In just the blink of an eye, Xing Yun and others were surrounded by ghosts. Wu Chen shouted: "There are ghosts all around and above your head. You pick up your swords and surround yourself! Also, be careful not to trip over the mummies under your feet. Directly Step on it!”

After Wu Chen finished shouting, he also arrived at the back of the cave. He knew that it would be unreasonable to hand over so many ghosts to Xing Yun and the others at this time, but without this ghost head, the little surprise they had saved at the beginning would turn into difficulties in the blink of an eye. To deal with it, just like those mummies, if all the physical strength is used up, it will lead to death.

Wu Chen believed that Xing Yun and the others could still cope with it for the time being.

But not for long.

Wu Chen sent a palm towards the ghost head while he was still in mid-air. This palm contained [-]% of the force. Wu Chen wanted to test the ghost head's ability. Unexpectedly, the ghost head didn't move, so Wu Chen had to get closer and strike again. Waving his palm, in just the blink of an eye, Wu Chen's palm was in front of Guitou, but a sword emitting green light suddenly came out from nowhere and slashed at Wu Chen's arm.

Where did the sword come from?Wu Chen didn't see it at all. He wanted to retract his arm but it was too late. He only heard a "clang" sound as the sword struck Wu Chen's arm. Although the skin was not even scratched, the impact sound shook Wu Chen's head. Buzzing.

He could only retract his palms, but at the same time, he used both feet and waist to rush straight towards the ghost's head, and then suddenly extended his palms, as if he would never look back.

Seeing that the sword was useless against Wu Chen, the ghost head was stunned for a moment, and then saw Wu Chen attacking him. He quickly bowed and floated backwards, but Wu Chen was also floating. No matter how fast the ghost head was, Wu Chen could keep up. , this place was very close to the mountain wall, and the ghost head simply disappeared into the wall. Wu Chen didn't get used to it, and waved his arm to hit the place where the ghost head was hiding. He was worried that the cave would collapse, so he only used [-]% of his strength. After smashing it, he was still preparing to avoid the falling rocks, but surprisingly, no rocks fell.

But Wu Chen heard Guitou's screams, followed by a piercing roar, and the Yin soldiers quickly dodged towards the nearby mountain.

Xing Yun and the others didn't know that the enemy had left, but they were still swinging their swords vigorously. The swords whirled in the wind as they moved, protecting their whole bodies tightly.

"Stop, they're gone." Wu Chen tiredly walked to the nearby copper coffin and looked at it carefully.

The blue flames on the copper coffin seemed to be burning out from a small opening on the coffin. Wu Chen frowned deeply. After thinking about it, he walked to Xing Yun and the others first, and then sat down on the ground.

Xing Yun raised his head, looked around and asked, "Is everyone gone?"

Xu Da stepped forward and knelt down, looked at Wu Chen and asked, "Why didn't you fall down this time? I saw that the black smoke just now really sent away a lot of people, so I kept worrying about you, afraid that you would fall to the ground."

Wu Chen laughed at himself and said, "I forgot about this. I didn't even notice the beam. I was shocked when I saw so many Yin soldiers just now! Now I feel uncomfortable all over."

Wu Chen lowered his head as he spoke.

Gu You comforted you: "You haven't had any time since you entered the cave. No one can bear it. You should have a good rest."

The boss said anxiously: "I originally brought a water bag, but I don't know when it disappeared. The master must be thirsty at this time..."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm not thirsty."

Xing Yun snorted and said, "Haven't you drank enough along the way? There's some ready-made down there. If you're thirsty, just go down and take a sip."

Xu Da let out an ouch and said anxiously: "You guys are going to bicker while you're at it!" Then he looked at Wu Chen and asked worriedly: "You didn't fall to the ground just now, will you suddenly fall down at some point?"

Wu Chen rubbed his face and said:

"Probably not. Since I washed my upper body, I have sent ghosts several times. I still had to fall down at first. But before I sent away those water ghosts, I had a splitting headache, but I gritted my teeth and could not fall to the ground. Now Even the splitting headache is gone, I just feel uncomfortable all over my body." Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe Ximo helped you bear it."

Xing Yun hurriedly asked: "Since you are fine, what should we do next? Why did they all go back? I didn't hear what you said."

"I found their ghost head and injured him, and those soldiers naturally went back. Alas, if only you could see it, you could tell which dynasty's military uniforms and armor they were wearing. I was the only one who saw it... …I do not understand!"

Gu You said: "I don't care which dynasty they are from, just tell us how we should go next? We should be prepared."

"I don't know!" Wu Chen leaned against the mountain in frustration, feeling it was too cold, and quickly stood up and said: "There are some grooves on both sides of the mountain that can be climbed, but I haven't gone to see what's on the top yet. , I’m afraid there’s something else waiting there…”

"Are these dozen coffins just left here? Don't care?" Xing Yun asked.

"What do you do with the copper coffin? I might be able to break it out of shape... Besides, what if I open the coffin? Release a few more thousand-year-old ghosts? We are going to the top of the mountain now..."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take a look. If there is an exit, let's climb up quickly. Those people must know that we are here by now. When they are ready, huh, there is no need for other methods, just If we throw stones from top to bottom, there will be no way for us to survive, especially when we are halfway up."

Wu Chen was too lazy to listen to Xing Yun's chatter, so he stood up and flew up without saying anything.

……

Wu Chen went there for a while before coming back. During this period, there was a lot of movement, which made several people very worried.

Xing Yun couldn't wait to ask: "Is there an exit?"

Wu Chen looked solemn and said, "It seems like there is, but it seems like there isn't."

Xing Yun was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's this? Take me up and have a look. I don't want to be guarding so many mummies." After Xing Yun said this, he was about to move forward, but was pulled by Gu You.

"Can you listen to what he has to say? It's you who's afraid of water ghosts, and it's you who's afraid of mummies. How do you know there's nothing else waiting for you when you go up there? It's unnecessary for you to come!" Gu You said angrily.

Xing Yun opened his mouth, looked at Wu Chen's serious expression, and said nothing more.

Wu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I was still deceived."

Xing Yun's eyes widened immediately. He naturally knew who Wu Chen had been deceived by.

"This cave may be the place where the coffins of ancestors in the village are stored. Let's come in... Unless they let them go, we may not be able to get out."

"So there's no way out?" Xu Da asked anxiously.
