On the other side, Gyatso and Lin Cheng-ying had already come over after their inspection. They were a little confused when they saw Fatso squatting by the mouth of the well, retching non-stop. He even stuck his fingers into his throat and kept digging.
Su Bai clapped his hands. "I'm fine. Did you find anything?"
Lin Cheng-ying opened his palm, and Su Bai saw some grayish-brown ashes on his palm.
"This kind of soil can only be found in one place in this mountain. Although the zombies' boots aren't new, I didn't let them wander around after I suppressed them. I also left them in the house, waiting for the Gates of Hell to open once a year and forcefully send them into the cycle of reincarnation. Therefore, the soles of their shoes are still considered clean. That's why they can leave such obvious traces when they go to that place."
"Lead the way." Su Bai wiped his lips, then patted Fatso's shoulder. "Follow me."
The group continued to move deeper into the mountain. This time, it didn't take long before Lin Cheng-ying signaled for them to stop and pointed to the col in front of them.
"That's the place. That area has a high concentration of ores, and the ground is also covered with these black dregs. Also, there's a cave over there. The zombies should be hiding there."
"Then let's go straight in. While the zombie king hasn't recovered, let's get it over with once and for all." Gyatso said.
Last time when they fought against the zombie king, they had Fatso and Su Bai. Now that they had Lin Cheng-ying and Gyatso, their chances of winning were actually very high.
Su Bai gently sniffed his nose behind the three of them. He felt that things were going a little too smoothly. If they were to capture all the zombies in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be a waste of the name of this story world?
"Mr. Zombie"
The zombies in this story world were so easy to deal with?
The four of them walked down the relatively flat side of the cliff and soon arrived at the entrance of the cave. There were some torn clothes and minced meat outside the cave, which basically proved that Lin Cheng-ying's speculation was correct.
Lin Cheng-ying held the Bagua Mirror in his hand, the mahogany sword behind his back, and the paper talisman in his other hand. He was the first to enter the cave, followed by Gyatso and Fatso. Su Bai deliberately stayed at the back.
After waiting for the three of them to enter, Su Bai gritted his teeth. He felt that the sudden rise of his sense of crisis couldn't possibly deceive him. Perhaps it was because he had obtained the zombie's origin.
Not afraid that he would pull away from the three of them, Su Bai squatted at the entrance of the cave and reached out to search the minced meat. It was this inadvertent movement that made Su Bai make a major discovery. The minced meat wasn't the residue of being bitten, but it was cut by a sharp weapon.
Su Bai's eyes narrowed slightly. A scene appeared in his mind: a person holding a few pieces of clothes and a large piece of meat, standing outside the cave and chopping the clothes and meat with a sword or knife.
Zombies couldn't use weapons, this was something Su Bai knew very well. If there really was a zombie here that had evolved to know how to use human weapons, then this zombie would be really heaven-defying.
In other words, someone deliberately set up this illusion, deliberately tricking everyone into believing it and then walking into the cave.
"Cave, cave." Su Bai muttered, "Damn it, the truth is that I came to this story world to be a pangolin. After I'm done with this cave, I'll go to another one."
At this moment, Su Bai suddenly realized that there seemed to be something watching them from the grass above the col.
The corner of Su Bai's mouth curled up into a smile. Obviously, the other party was a little flustered because he didn't go in.
Pretending as if nothing had happened, Su Bai sat at the entrance of the cave. He wasn't worried about Gyatso, Fatso, and Lin Cheng-ying. With Gyatso and Fatso around, even if something happened, they would be able to hold on for a while. The effect would be about the same if he went in earlier. Moreover, for some reason, Su Bai wasn't in a hurry to go in. Instead, he shouted at everyone to come out of the cave. There was a trap here.
When everyone was drunk and he was the only one sober, it often meant that he would be able to discover some opportunities faster than others.
Even though he was sitting there, Su Bai kept looking at that spot through the corner of his eye. Once he confirmed where the person was hiding and planned his path, Su Bai jumped up from the ground and rushed in that direction.
The person was clearly stunned by Su Bai's action, but he immediately snapped out of his daze. The grass diagonally above Su Bai started swaying.
Su Bai knew very well that the person who was watching him was running away in panic.
His gaze focused, and Su Bai didn't chase after him in a straight line. Instead, he changed directions.
In the end, when a man in normal clothes ran into a forest and looked back while he continued running, Su Bai slowly walked out with a stalk of grass in his mouth.
"Yo, Ah Liang, what are you doing here?"
When Su Bai's voice came, Ah Liang's whole body suddenly trembled and he looked straight ahead. When he saw Su Bai standing calmly in front of him, Ah Liang trembled a little and said,
"You … I … I was worried about Master, so I followed … to take a look … Yes … to take a look."
Su Bai nodded and slowly walked up to Ah Liang.
"Oh, I see. You're also filial. I'm very touched."
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Bai hit Ah Liang's neck with his elbow. Ah Liang's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Su Bai looked at Ah Liang lying on the ground and smiled.
"You don't believe it yourself, do you?"
…
"Ah Bai didn't follow us," Fatso said in the cave.
"Let's stop and wait. Or, let's go out and take a look first," Gyatso suggested.
Lin Cheng-ying shook his head. "No, we've already come in. The zombies must have sensed the breath of a living person. If we waste more time here, the zombies might have already left. You guys go out and look for him. I'll go in alone. I was the one who seriously injured the Zombie King back then. This time, it won't be an exception."
Lin Cheng-ying was obviously very confident in himself, but Gyatso and Fatso did not have much confidence in the current Lin Cheng-ying. Moreover, even if Lin Cheng-ying was in peak condition now, if something happened, it would not matter if he died, but it would cause them and the others to fail the mission and have their precious story points deducted. Why bother?
At this time, some blurred shadows appeared in front of them, and the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly.
Lin Cheng-ying picked up his Eight Trigrams Mirror.
Then, he used his blood to light up the Eight Trigrams Mirror and pointed it forward. The Eight Trigrams Mirror released a red light and swept forward.
Then, Gyatso's breathing stopped. Fatso's mouth opened and he completely forgot how to close it. Even Lin Cheng-ying's hand trembled.
In front of the three of them, there were indeed zombies.
However …
Some of these zombies were wearing white and yellow magua, some were wearing armor, and some were wearing silk palace clothes. Their terrifying aura was so thick that it almost turned into water droplets.
…
"Pa!"
A slap landed on Ah Liang's face. Ah Liang woke up from his coma. At this moment, his hands and feet were tied. Su Bai sat on a rock in front of him and looked at him.
"Tell me, what happened?"
"I don't know," Ah Liang said after pursing his lips.
"Oh, I see."
Su Bai didn't waste any more time. He picked up the rock under his feet and smashed it at Ah Liang's ankle.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Ah Liang let out a tragic cry. His ankle was dripping with blood, and his bones were exposed. It was obvious that it would be impossible for Ah Liang to walk normally in the future. At the very least, he would be a cripple.
Throwing the blood-stained rock to the side, Su Bai clapped his hands. "It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. I don't really want to know. Coincidentally, I haven't sucked human blood for a while. It's a pity for me to eat those disgusting things all day."
As Su Bai spoke, he revealed his vampire fangs. His entire temperament instantly became extremely gloomy and strange. This was not a trick, nor was it a bluff. It was the most direct external manifestation, a characteristic of the Sanguine bloodline.
Ah Liang immediately trembled in fear. When Su Bai's fangs gently pierced into his neck, Ah Liang immediately shouted,
"I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Su Bai pulled out his fangs again, leaving two bloody holes on Ah Liang's neck.
"It's a monk. A monk called me over and told me to set up these things at the entrance of the cave. Master and you took a detour. I ran here directly, so I'm faster than you."
"A monk?" Su Bai licked his lips.
"What kind of monk is he?"
"A very clean monk."
"That's as good as not saying anything." Su Bai continued to bend down, preparing to suck again.
"His name is Qilü, Qilü. I heard a woman beside him call him by that name. I was fed poison by them, and so was Miss Chen. I had to do as they told me. Otherwise, they wouldn't give me the antidote.
I've already experienced the feeling of that poison exploding in my body. I really don't dare to experience it a second time. I really don't dare. "
A 'Liang's tears and nose started to flow as he spoke.
Qilü?
No …
Su Bai suddenly felt that the whole thing was a little inexplicable. The monk had already come out of the demon's lair? He had also found the coffin home, but why didn't he come to find me and Gyatso? Instead, he hid in the dark?
What the hell was he doing? He didn't even inform me.
Of course, Su Bai didn't think that he, Gyatso, and the monk had a close relationship. However, Su Bai felt that it shouldn't have reached the point where he needed to scheme behind the scenes.
"What's in that cave?" Su Bai asked.
"I don't know. I've never entered it, and they didn't let me in." Ah Liang answered. However, in an instant, his body suddenly swelled up, like a deflated tire that had been pumped full of air.
Su Bai subconsciously took a step back. Ah Liang looked at Su Bai in pain.
"Save me … Save me …"
A fox's paw print appeared on Ah Liang's forehead.
