Chapter 393 Bite on the scalp

The eyes of the people standing outside the city wall were divided into two groups, and half of them were staring at the computer screen, wanting to see what was above the city wall and what bit off Chen Xin's head.

The other half focused their attention on Xu Xiaoyuan, watching her lying on top of the city wall, slowly raising the camera in her hand, worried about her.

And Chen Ziyang's head turned like a rattle, switching between Xu Xiaoyuan and the computer screen, as if he didn't want to miss any details.Although he was also very interested in the things on the city wall, he was more concerned about Xu Xiaoyuan's safety.

Now Chen Ziyang is really depressed, after all, it is because of his suggestion that Liu Cong arranged for people to climb up the city wall.As a result, one of the two people who got on the city wall lost his head, and the other fell on the city wall with all kinds of meat and eight vegetables. Seeing that it was a disaster, if there is really no way to enter the city of imperial tombs from the city wall, then his crime is terrible. It's big.

And now there is a third person involved, especially this person is Daoist Xiaoyuan.In this day and age, Taoist nuns are as rare as giant pandas. Apart from those magic sticks who swindle money, there are really few serious Taoist nuns.

True nuns with high abilities like Xu Xiaoyuan are even rarer. What's more, because of her high abilities, Chen Ziyang has a special affection for her. I really don't want any unexpected things to happen to Xu Xiaoyuan again. body.

Just when Chen Ziyang was wondering whether his previous idea was a bad one, he suddenly saw a picture of a city wall crenellation displayed on the computer screen. Obviously, Xu Xiaoyuan had already raised the camera over the city wall .

At this time, Chen Ziyang became even more nervous. The two people who climbed up the city wall before were attacked at this time. Now I don't know if the huge black python head-like mechanism will appear again.

Xu Xiaoyuan was very careful. When she was still a stone brick high from the crenel of the city wall, she stopped and inserted a steel claw-like thing into the gap between the stone bricks to stabilize her body. At the same time, you can use the power of this steel claw to support your body, so as to restore your physical strength.And her other hand held the camera high, and slowly raised it to the top of the city wall.

The picture from the camera looked very unstable and shook very much. I don't know if it was because Xu Xiaoyuan exhausted too much energy during the climbing process, or because of her tense relationship.

Because the light on the city wall is really limited, the images transmitted by the camera on the computer screen are somewhat black and white, but there is a faint green light coming out, which should be related to the green light curtain in midair. relation.

The overall effect of the picture actually looks like a processed ghost movie. It seems a bit out of place when three people have just died, adding a sense of fear out of thin air.

Just when everyone was attracted by the images transmitted by the camera, Zhenhao quietly walked to the bottom of the wordless stele.

The bodies of the two team members who were shot to death in front of the city gate, as well as Chen Xin's body, were all placed on the platform under the monument without words.Because there was nothing extra to cover them, the three corpses were placed there straight up.

The bodies of the two players who were shot to death before were still full of crossbow bolts. It’s not that everyone didn’t want to tidy up their remains. First, they had too many crossbow bolts on their bodies, and they really couldn’t be pulled out. Second, even if they pulled out all the crossbow bolts Now, maybe their bodies are full of blood holes, maybe it's better to be full of crossbow arrows.

Zhen Hao shifted his gaze to Chen Xin's body.He judged from the break in Li Linzhi's hair that it was not a black python that attacked the two people, but some kind of sharp mechanism. Take a look at Xin's corpse.

Although Chen Xin suffered the least damage, he was the one who died the worst.Those two people still had their bodies, but Chen Xin's head was gone. Considering the feelings of other people, Zhenhao hadn't checked the corpses in full view before. It's also good to study it carefully.

It may be because all the hot blood was sprayed on the city wall. There was not much blood beside Chen Xin's body, so Zhen Hao stared at Chen Xin's severed neck carefully.

It was very consistent with his previous guess. Zhenhao saw that the incision on Chen Xin's neck was very neat, and even the fracture of his cervical spine was very smooth. Obviously, the thing that cut Chen Xin's neck was very sharp. It is absolutely impossible to do this.

No matter how sharp the creature's teeth are, it is impossible to cause such a wound. The section torn by the creature will definitely not be so neat, but should be jagged like sawtooth, and many pieces of meat will be pulled out.

Seeing that his idea was confirmed, Zhen Hao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it is not a creature, it should be easier to break the fixed mechanism than to deal with the huge creature.After reaching this conclusion, he wanted to go back to the computer screen to see what mechanism was so powerful above the city wall.

But just when Zhenhao was about to look away, he noticed a pattern on the platform below the wordless stele.

Although most of the blood in Chen Xin's body was sprayed on the city wall, there was still some blood left in his body.When the corpse was placed on the platform under the stele without writing, the blood flowed out along the incision on Chen Xin's neck, and a small amount of blood flowed around the corpse.

On this small pool of blood, there is a very obvious ring-shaped imprint. This ring is very regular and does not seem to be formed naturally. This discovery made Zhen Hao more vigilant, and hurriedly squatted down to check what was going on. thing.

At the same time, the camera in Xu Xiaoyuan's hand has completely lifted the crenellation on the city wall, and the situation above the city wall is displayed on the computer screen.

The city wall is very thick, and the distance between the inner and outer crenels is at least eight meters. The top of the city wall is also paved with long strips of boulders. Things are still very clear.

There is nothing on the city wall, whether it is the black python that everyone guessed before, or any sharp mechanism. Except for the huge rectangular stone bricks and dust, the city wall is really empty.

All the people staring at the computer screen showed puzzled expressions.If it was really a sharp organ that ate Chen Xin's head, as Zhenhao said, you should be able to see the shadow of the organ, right? Appears when not in use and disappears when not in use.

With such doubts, everyone continued to stare at the screen.After Xu Xiaoyuan adjusted the angle of the camera, she slowly turned the long stick in her hand left and right, allowing the camera to rotate left and right at a certain angle, so that more pictures of the city wall would appear on the computer screen. Some can make the people below see more clearly.

With Xu Xiaoyuan's rotation, all the pictures above the city wall of more than ten meters to the left and right were displayed on the computer screen, and the places farther away could not be seen clearly due to the light, but within the range of more than 20 meters, everyone still I didn't see anything on the city wall.

"Could it be that the one that attacked Chen Xin just now was not some mechanism, but really a black python? After eating his head, the python swam away to other places, so we couldn't see it?" Ya Sheng grabbed his collar tightly with one hand, and said in fear.

After checking Li Linzhi's injuries, Yasheng found that Li Linzhi passed out only because of a strong impact, and her body should be fine, so she also focused on the computer screen .

After all, women are a little less courageous, Yasheng's action of grabbing her neck looks like she is very afraid that a snake will get into her clothes.

Although no one else spoke, judging from everyone's facial expressions, some people obviously agreed with her statement.

"Don't worry about it. The thing that attacked Chen Xin was indeed a mechanism. It wasn't a black python. The mechanism was just below the outer crenel. Because of the angle of the camera, you didn't see it."

Suddenly hearing Zhenhao's voice from behind the crowd, everyone turned their heads in surprise, not understanding why he was so sure.

Xu Xiaoyuan on the top of the city wall was very anxious. Ever since she raised the camera, she hadn't received any instructions from the people in the team.

She couldn't see what was on the camera screen, and she didn't know if there was any danger behind the crenelation of the city wall one meter away from her. The unknown fear had been tormenting Xu Xiaoyuan.

When Mao Sui recommended herself to investigate the city wall before, Xu Xiaoyuan was actually a little hesitant. She didn't want to do this, but it was really helpless.

My master Jia Da is already a bit out of place in the team at this time, and several verbal attacks have made Jia Da a target of public criticism. If I, as an apprentice, don't do anything at this time, I and my master will really die. There is no way to get mixed up anymore.

If it was better before entering here, there was no danger at that time after all. Now that I have just reached the bottom of the city wall, three people died and one was seriously injured in an instant. I don’t know how many unknown dangers there will be. If there is no help from others, It is very likely that her master will not be able to get out alive, which is why Xu Xiaoyuan gritted her teeth and wanted to explore the city wall.

When it comes to climbing skills, she is not the best, no matter what happens, Xu Xiaoyuan is doing this for the sake of her master Jia Da.

But when she got to the top of the city wall, she regretted it a little, but the matter had come to this point, so she could only bite the bullet and go on.

At this time, Xu Xiaoyuan seemed to have put a hand into an invisible box, groping for what was hidden in the box, even if the things in the box were very common, but in her imagination But in the middle of it is extremely fearful.

Just when Xu Xiaoyuan frightened herself and felt that she was about to cry, suddenly the voice she had been waiting for for a long time came out from the communicator.

"Taoist Xiaoyuan, listen carefully. There are no huge pythons on the city wall, but some organs. Now do as I tell you."

Zhenhao's words undoubtedly gave Xu Xiaoyuan a shot in the arm.After hearing Zhenhao say that there is no black python on the city wall, but just an ordinary mechanism, Xu Xiaoyuan instantly felt that the darkness above her head was not so scary, and the fear in her heart disappeared instantly.

Although other people are still full of doubts, but at this time, no one wants to disturb Zhenhao by speaking.Zhen Hao is very well-known in his heart. If it wasn't for the critical moment, he would not directly take over Liu Cong's command, so everyone knows that Zhen Hao has full confidence, and Liu Cong didn't say much. What, but let him issue the order.

Under Zhen Hao's command, Xu Xiaoyuan tied the rope on her body to the upper edge of a crenel.Zhen Haoqian reminded Wan Wan that the rope should only be tied to the upper edge of the crenel, and never touch the lower edge of the crenel, nor should it touch the city wall between the two crenels.Although Xu Xiaoyuan didn't understand Zhenhao's intention of doing this, she still followed the instructions.

After tying the rope, Xu Xiaoyuan, under Zhenhao's command, turned the camera across, directly over the crenel above the city wall, and shot at the innermost crenel of the city wall.Similarly, when performing this action, Zhen Hao also told Xu Xiaoyuan not to touch the inner side of the lower edge of the crenel and the wall between the two crenels.

As the camera probed in, everyone discovered that there were pitch-black iron balls hidden in the dead corners below the crenels, and there was an iron ball placed on each crenel and the wall between the two crenels.Because of the angle of view before, these iron balls did not appear in the pictures captured by the camera.

Each of these iron balls has a diameter of about one meter. The surface of the iron balls has been polished very smooth. There are four pitch-black iron chains protruding from the iron balls, two of which protrude into the crenel or the gap between the crenels, and the other two The strip protruded into the city wall.

Seeing such a scene, the others admired Zhen Hao even more. They really didn't understand why this kid suddenly became enlightened, and he knew things that everyone didn't know.

Chen Ziyang finally let go of his worries. Fortunately, Xu Xiaoyuan did not suffer any harm this time, and it seemed that the mechanism above the city wall had been cracked by Zhen Hao, and the team was expected to pass.

"Okay, you can come down now. Wait! Turn your camera back to the previous angle!" Just when Zhenhao told Xu Xiaoyuan to evacuate, he suddenly issued another opposite order, obviously What else do you see on the screen.

With the movement of the camera in Xu Xiaoyuan's hand, everyone saw that there seemed to be a knot tied on the crenel inside the city wall, and this knot was not tied by Xu Xiaoyuan.
