Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 445: Here comes the mallet (second update)

Wu Chen exerted a little more force on his hand. At this moment, several mango babies on the mountain suddenly rushed toward Wu Chen. Their speed was indeed fast, but Wu Chen was on full alert at this time, so naturally he saw it very clearly. Clearly, he picked up the young man and blocked him in front of him the moment Mang Ying got close. The young man suddenly let out a shrill scream.

The Mang Yings seemed to know that they had attacked the wrong person and flew back quickly.

The whole process took only a blink of an eye, but Wu Chen saw the problem on the wall before Mang Ying returned to it.

Wu Chen was actually worried before. He was worried that if so many Mang Yings really moved at the same time, let alone Xing Yun and the others, it would be difficult to protect themselves. Even he did not dare to attack with all his strength. Once the stone bed hanging in the air collapsed, If a stone falls into a pool of blood and the blood splashes on anyone, it will cause trouble.

But Mang Ying is not that smart. At least they did not attack Xing Yun and the others. Instead, they attacked Wu Chen first. This made Wu Chen very satisfied. Then seeing the marks left by Mang Ying on the wall after Mang Ying left, Wu Chen deduced that the wall There should be wet mud on top.

Is there wet mud all over the walls?

Wu Chen's mind was racing rapidly, but the young man in his hand was writhing in pain. When Wu Chen lowered his head, he saw that the splendid clothes were covered with blood.

"You all come here. The things on the wall seem to know this kid's blood. Come here and get some of it on them. They should not get wet with it again."

Several people quickly ran towards Wu Chen. Mang Ying on the wall seemed to be eager to protect his master. Several more people rushed towards Xing Yun and the others. Wu Chen was shocked, but he could not leave the young people behind to stop them, so he only hesitated. At this moment, Xing Yun and the others were already swinging their swords to kill.

Wu Chen was stunned. He thought that he was already invincible in the category of human beings. The enemy could only be determined by the speed of death. He had also seen Xing Yun and others fighting with people before, and he didn't care about those moves at that time. , he thought it was far less effective than his simple and crude strength. Now looking at the sword skills of a few people, they actually resolved this sudden attack with just one sword.

This is what Wu Chen fears most.

Unless Wu Chen knew something suddenly appeared, he would really not know how to deal with it. Wu Chen realized that no matter how powerful he was, there would be a side that he was not good at.

Wu Chen watched as Xing Yun and the others raised their hands and swung their swords a few times to kill Mang Ying who rushed towards him.

The boss said with blood on his face: "I couldn't see it just now and let it take advantage of it. Now that the lights are bright, they still want to succeed? No way!"

"Can you handle more?" Wu Chen asked excitedly.

Xing Yun walked up to Wu Chen in a few steps and said unhappily: "You rely on strength, we rely on the speed of drawing the sword, but no matter how fast we are, we can't hold back much!"

"Hurry up and put some blood on your body." Wu Chen urged when he saw everyone coming over.

"Is it clean?" Xing Yun asked in disgust.

This question reminded Wu Chen, and he quickly said: "Take off his boots and see if there are any red marks on the soles of his feet."

After the eldest brother and the second child hurriedly squatted down and worked, a few heads came over to take a look. There was nothing on the clean soles of their feet.

Wu Chen frowned and said, "It stands to reason that Gu You and Xing Yun shouldn't be afraid of this thing, or this monster shouldn't attack you two."

Xing Yun pointed at the young man with blood-thorned eyes and asked: "He is like this... No, does he have red marks under his feet? How do you know that we are the same as him?" "You two don't have them now, but yours Blood... seems different." Wu Chen couldn't figure it out. He muttered: "The thorns on that thing should be poisonous. My blood can remove the poison, so the boss is fine, and his blood is also effective. Don't look at him. The blood means the skin is pricked, and once that thing finds out that it is one of our own, it will leave immediately. If I hadn't picked him up to block it, those monsters wouldn't have attacked him at all."

After hearing this, Gu You thought it made sense, so he stood on the outside with his sword and said, "Then let me try first to see if they will attack me."

"Are you still trying? Didn't you attack just now? That thing didn't reach you? You didn't swing your sword?" Xing Yun asked.

"So...we two are not from the village?" Gu You's eyes were full of joy.

"What if it's because... he's not?" Xing Yun pointed to the young man on the ground.

Wu Chen handed the young man to Xing Yun and said, "Look at him. Now is not the time to discuss this. I'm going to see if the people on the stone bed can be saved."

After saying that, Wu Chen flew up. He didn't dare to step on the wall, so he could only step on the stone bed. He looked over one by one, and finally returned to the original place and said:

"Most of them can still be saved. There is a blood trough on the stone bed. The people on it are just like the Laojieshan cave. Blood is flowing out from their wrists. It flows through the blood trough into the bamboo tube and then into the blood pool. But there is also a small hole in the stone bed. , connected to the wall with extremely thin bamboo, black liquid flowed out of this small hole, soaking the people's backs. Just looking at their faces, they didn't seem to be suffering. I tried to pat their faces. There is no response, he must be in a coma, but the wound on the wrist should close within a period of time. Someone has the ability to keep the wound open... The temperature on the stone bed is neither cold nor hot, which can ensure that the blood flows out slowly..."

"Who are you telling this to?" Xing Yun asked in confusion.

"What I mean is that you go out first. If I want to save them, I'm afraid I will alert all the monsters on the wall. The wall under those things is wet mud..."

"Can you speak human language?" Xing Yun asked a little anxiously: "Go out? Where to go?"

Wu Chen pointed to the top of his head, and Xing Yun looked up. At this time, the young man bravely spoke: "You will die if you go out!"

Wu Chen smiled and lowered his head and asked, "Where have all the people from Shuangxi Village gone? How could they send you such a stick?"

The young man avoided Wu Chen's eyes.

"We suddenly jumped into the water. Your leaders would not have thought of it. In other words, they would not have prepared anything in the cave in advance. What we saw was what we should have had. Of course, I haven't figured it out yet. Where did those mummies come from and where did they go, but obviously there are more than just these two caves here. I thought it was arranged by your people before, and the Yin soldiers were also created by your people. Now I think about it, you have been You have no time to pay attention to us, all the dangers we encounter are caused by what we touch."

Xu Da understood the meaning of the words and asked quickly: "Are you saying that Yu Shi'an has led troops to attack?"

Xing Yun immediately rejected this possibility:

"There is no suspension bridge in the mountains, and the river is full of water ghosts. Those water ghosts' hair will make the sick soldiers afraid to step forward because they are wearing armor? Besides, how cold the river is? If you hadn't taken my pills, you wouldn't have been able to persist. Until now.”

Everyone thought it made sense and looked at Wu Chen in unison.
