Chapter 15: The Vine Ball on the Cliff(1/2)
The night in the forest was very cold, and Yu Xing shivered and hugged himself tightly.
In the 18th hour of the progress of the deduction, a new prompt appeared in Yu Xing's mind.
[You know Carlos joined another organization, so even if you want to cooperate, you cannot trust him completely, because the secret of the tomb is very important. The fewer people you know, the better. If the "resurrection" effect is a treasure, then there is only one person or one force that can do it.]
[Carlos will not tell you all the information. In addition to being friends, you will also be competitors - all forces planning to be under the Grave Palace are competitors.]
[Group Sun's team is more stable than some hired teams, but everyone's strength is limited. You don't expect to get information from other forces from them, so you investigated it yourself.]
[There are four forces you can find out about this time, including Sun Ge's team, Oster Company, another fixed tomb robbery team, and the investigation studio where you are. The remaining forces are still being prepared and will not take any action in a short period of time.]
[For commercial interests, for money, and for resurrection, peace has long been torn apart. Below the tomb, besides ancient and death, there are bloody storms from others.]
The system prompted this time without any trouble, but just completed the background in a normal manner. By the way, Yu Xing should not trust Carlos too much.
There is no doubt that there is no need for a systematic "kind intention". Yu Xing has never trusted Carlos since he met Coffin Village.
Carlos's personality is not the type that can make people believe. His style of behavior is too strange. Even if he cooperates with Yu Xing happily in the newcomer competition and actively releases kindness, Yu Xing naturally has a premonition - this person is very dangerous.
After many years of reading people, no matter what a person pretends to be on the surface, he can't deceive Yu Xing's intuition.
After obtaining the last piece of information, Yu Xing obtained all the information he could get, but he stopped all his thoughts and slept in the tree all night.
Time passes and the sky is getting whiter.
He leaned his head against the trunk, held his hands in his chest, and the knife was no longer hidden. He directly hooked his forearm with the strap on the scabbard, and slept very peacefully.
Although there are many active corpses hidden in the Dead Valley, there is also an advantage, that is, insects and snakes do not enter.
Since entering the Dead Valley last night, Yu Xing has never heard of insects. He doesn't know if there are vines hidden in the valley. Anyway, he checked the surrounding area before he decided to go to bed last night, and no other threat was found except for a dead man alone.
In other words, the dangers in the Dead Valley were greatly weakened except for the corpses.
Yu Xing thought about it last night and found that these dead people were also an alternative "resurrection", similar to - failure of resurrection?
The ideal resurrection is when a person dies, from the awareness that his body is fully revitalized, and after he inherits memory, he always has complete autonomous control.
But the corpses in the Dead Valley have only recovered their bodies, but have not recovered completely, and are hideous and ugly.
He guessed that these corpses were also affected by the things that caused the legend of resurrection in the Catacomb Palace. They were only so far away that they were resurrected so incompletely.
Yu Xing still doesn't know how these "resurrected" corpses sensed the living, so he specially chose a tree that exceeded the jumping height of the dead to rest.
When the sky was just dawn, he woke up slowly. The mountain wind blew, and the leaves around him blew loudly.
Although he likes to sleep, he is alone in the wild and is still thinking about tracing the map of Brother Sun's team. His vigilance is greatly improved. Not only will he not oversleep, but he will even wake up from his sleep once he catches an abnormal sound.
That's it now. He heard a few messy steps amid the noise of the leaves.
Yu Xing opened his eyes and glanced at the camp, and saw Brother Sun, who was dirty and walked back with Scar.
Scar was still wearing a flame gun, and the two looked exhausted, staggered and limped.
They were very alert. Even after returning to the camp, Scar was still exploring the way forward. Brother Sun followed behind with his knife, his eyes constantly traveling around.
Unfortunately, Yu Xing hid too well and was far away from them, so they couldn't find anyone hiding in the tree watching the show.
Yu Xing saw their mouths moving, as if they had said something, and then Scar took out the signal flare, raised his arms and shot him into the sky.
The red signal swayed into the air. Yu Xing looked at it for a while and realized that Brother Sun and Scar were going to wait for others in the camp, so he turned his head boredly.
Then he will wait.
Anyway, he has a lot of food, so there is no hurry.
The valley of dead people during the day became much more peaceful, and the corpses seemed to be unable to come out during the day. The sun shone in the valley, and some leaves reflected light.
Yu Xing watched Brother Sun go into the tent to rest. Scar guarded outside to eat dry food. He was hungry, so he took out a bag of biscuits and continued to keep an eye on him while eating.
After another hour or so, a petite figure appeared from the mountain, covered in dust. Yu Xing looked at it, yo, Aili.
The little doctor who looked soft and weak was actually the second group to return to the camp, and he was single, and I don’t know how she survived last night and was not injured.
It only rained heavily yesterday, and the soil in the mountains was soft, and Aili was covered in mud, as if she had rolled in the mud.
She probably rushed over when she saw the signal. When she saw the scar, she sat on the ground excitedly, looking exhausted.
The team is reuniting, and when everyone comes back and rest for a while, they can set off again.
The four people present thought so.
But until the afternoon, no one came back.
Now even Yu Xing felt something was wrong. What about the rest?
Finley, Aaron, and the brother whom he still doesn't know his name are all dead?
Well... Thinking about the speed of the corpse group, it seems that it is not incomprehensible.
But this team is a bit miserable. I haven’t seen the tomb yet, and there are only four left?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Yu Xing also counted himself.
Then there is a ghost's tomb? Brother Sun is not worthy.
Their level is only worthy of accumulating experience in the small tomb. Once they arrive in the large tomb, they are cannon fodder-level figures. Instead of running wildly on the road of hard work, it is better to turn back early and stop the loss in time.
Yu Xing looked at the three lonely people in the camp and guessed with a headache, what should I do if they really get out of trouble?
Then wouldn’t I have to passively wait for Carlos to come and find him? Can I rush down and ask Brother Sun to hand over the map?
no.
Yu Xing sighed helplessly. If it was independent deduction, it could be done. However, the world of the investigator's analogy game is the closest unity. He cannot kill people casually. If Brother Sun's map is robbed, wouldn't it be broken if it is reported?
Then, steal?
This is OK.
Yu Xing's eyes lit up, thinking that he had stole the map, Brother Sun would be even more unable to enter the tomb. He indirectly saved three lives! He is so kind.
At this time, Aili and Scar, who had been frightened all night, finally couldn't hold on. Aili went into the tent to sleep first, and Scar woke up Brother Sun and rotated with him.
The map was taken by Brother Sun in his pocket. Seeing Brother Sun sitting alone outside, Yu Xing quietly slid down from the tree and approached silently with his footsteps that were lighter than the dead.
He is about to start stealing.
Yu Xing touched Brother Sun's back and hit the back of Brother Sun's head, directly knocking the person out of the way.
Ari and Scar in the tent were too tired and had already fallen asleep, and no one heard the muffled sound.
Yu Xing helped Brother Sun and asked him to lie down slowly, then found the folded map from Brother Sun's usual pocket and smiled with satisfaction.
As long as no one sees me taking things, it is called stealing!
"Go home, how safe it is at home. It's enough to sell antiques you made before, it's enough to eat for a lifetime." He said to Brother Sun, who was unconscious with his mouth, "So greedy... I can only help you here? No thanks~"
I guess if Brother Sun is still awake, he will definitely vomit blood.
After Yu Xing got the map, he escaped. He stopped waiting in the Dead Valley. While walking deep into the valley, he studied the route marked on the map.
This route is intermittent, with many vague marks in the middle. It can be said that if you want to follow this route, half of it depends on your viewing, and the other half can only rely on luck.
The route lasted until the last mountain. The mountain was the weirdest and could not even be well expressed on the map. It was completely at the point where having a map was useless.
Yu Xing stared for a while and decided to walk to Chongyin Mountain based on this map, and then talk about what happened next.
Without much effort, he walked to the end of the valley before the sun set.
The terrain of this valley gradually declined. At the end, it had already created a nearly vertical cliff of more than 20 meters with the surrounding mountains. Yu Xing stood at the bottom of the cliff and looked up, taking a breath of cold air.
It's so amazing...
At dusk, the orange-red sun spreads the golden light to the cliff. Everything in sight is like a layer of illusory but unreal yarn, as if it will melt in the air at any time.
The cliffs were long-standing and thick enough for unknown branches that could be climbed by people, and they all fell to the ground. He stretched out his hand and pulled it over. This was a normal plant and would not move.
It is absolutely true that in addition to these normal and climbable branches, there are also very familiar green "crawlers" that are wrapped around the branches and hang down on the edges of the branches. In short, it seems that if someone wants to climb up the cliff through the branches, he will face the risk of encountering these strange vines.
These vines are the most sensitive to temperature, but no one said that if they are pulled at room temperature, they will definitely be fine.
This is to block all the roads to Chongyin Mountain and drive them away... Even the nature is so ready, it really makes people look forward to the things in the tomb.
Yu Xing murmured in his heart, then bent his fingers and knocked on the mountain wall. He was sure it was solid, so he picked up the branches in front of him and began to climb up very decisively.
He is so good at avoiding the weird vines, so this cliff still leaves some people with the opportunity to pass, just like screening.
As he climbed up, the green ivy kept moving, as if one snake was hibernating.
But Yu Xing knew that these "hibernating snakes" were just pretending to sleep. Once someone disturbed them, they would immediately explode.
From his perspective, you can see large lumps of green vines entangled on the top of the cliff. They wrapped and merged with each other, and didn't know what they would eventually become.
Yu Xing focused on them while crawling, and his muscles were tense until he reached the top of the mountain with about five meters left. His vigilance also increased to the highest level.
Sure enough, the vines that had not moved along the way seemed a little anxious at this time, as if they had sensed something and slid slightly. They seemed to be looking for something, perhaps looking for Yu Xing.
Yu Xing ignored these things that would not cause much harm to him. His eyes were on the tightly connected vine balls on the top of the cliff and muttered: "It's strange, why do you have to form a ball?"
This is not only more conspicuous and difficult to disguise, but it also becomes difficult to attack people, because many vines are trapped inside and have no time to get out of their way.
But since it is already in this state, there must be some reason why Yu Xing doesn't know.
He looked at the vine hanging from the vine ball beside him, suddenly reached out and pulled it, and then immediately shrank his hand.
