Chapter 038 Fatty's Doubts
After gazing around, Wuxie finally set his sights on the two corpses lying on the stone platform below, and evil thoughts began to well up in his mind.
But the most urgent thing is to go down first.
"Brother, can you lend a hand and rescue me?"
Feeling that he couldn't rely on others, and that if he wanted to go down, it would be best to seek help from the person with the strongest martial arts skills here, Wuxie cast a hopeful look at Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling looked up and exchanged glances with Wuxie. Wuxie felt that Zhang Qiling seemed to want to say something to him, but he didn't understand the look in his eyes.
The next second, the black gold ancient sword was unsheathed, and Zhang Qiling threw the sword directly out, and with one precise stroke, he cut off the vines that bound Wuxie.
Wuxie screamed and fell vertically.
Zhang Qiling borrowed strength from the trunk of the Hydra cypress, flew into the air and caught Wuxie with one hand, and they both landed safely.
After landing, Zhang Qiling released the hand that was holding Wuxie's collar, moved his position, and reached out to catch the black gold ancient sword that was thrown away and swirled in the air.
Wuxie bent down, covered his neck, coughed hard twice, and took a deep breath before he recovered.
He suddenly discovered that Zhang Qiling and Zhang Moyu had the same method of carrying people.
Both of them were surnamed Zhang, had mysterious origins, and possessed powerful martial arts skills, seemingly capable of Qinggong. Their looks also leaned towards the realm of classical beauty, and Wu Xie suddenly had an idea.
Could it be that these two big guys are really relatives? Do big guys always appear in groups these days?
When he thought of his third uncle, he would become a bully at home, and Wuxie felt jealous again.
Putting those messy thoughts aside for the moment, Wuxie moved closer to the two corpses on the stone platform, his eyes fixed on the female corpse, looking it up and down.
Wu Sansheng and Fatty Wang were pulling the rope down. Wu Sansheng inadvertently saw Wuxie's behavior and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
The fat man, who was anxious to find the treasure, came down first and ran towards Wuxie as soon as he landed.
"Brother Tianzhen! My dear brother~ I see you've been wandering around here for quite some time. Have you seen any treasures? Let me, Fatty, take a look."
Fatty Wang came over without hesitation, but after looking left and right, he didn't find any amazing treasures on the two corpses.
I don’t know why Wuxie has been here for so long. He didn’t see any treasures on Wuxie.
On the two corpses, apart from a complete set of clothes, there was only a bronze mask on the man's face and the box in his hand.
The box in the male corpse's hand was carved from wood. Although it was exquisitely carved, it was still hard to tell from his fat uncle's keen eyes, which he had developed after years of experience in the antique world.
This thing isn't made of any precious wood, so the stuff inside is probably not valuable.
The gold and silver ornaments on the female corpse were all high-quality items, but they were not enough to make Wuxie stare at them for so long.
Although the power that Fatty Wang has built up over the years is not large, he is well-informed.
As soon as Wuxie gave his name, he knew Wuxie's identity, not to mention that there was such a big "fox" next to him.
Wu Sansheng is a well-known person in the underworld who kills people without paying for his crime. The name "Old Fox" is exclusive to him. Although he doesn't know Wu Sansheng, he has seen his photo.
The Wu family is a veteran force in the antique business. I heard that in this generation, Wuxie is the only legitimate little prince.
It can be said that they are afraid of dropping it when holding it in their hands, and afraid of it melting when holding it in their mouths. The whole family dotes on it.
How could Wu Xie, who has been spoiled and grown up surrounded by treasures, be dazzled by these things that are only worth a little money?
When these words were spoken, Fatty Wang was the first one who didn't believe it!
Seeing that Wuxie's eyes were still lingering on the female corpse and she didn't speak to him, Fatty Wang made two ambiguous clicks of his tongue, temporarily let go of the jewelry on the female corpse, and strolled over to the male corpse.
Based on the idea of taking as much as he can and that a strong man is not afraid of too many treasures, Fatty Wang went straight to work and wanted to take off the bronze mask on the male corpse's face first.
Bronze masks are not easy to sell, but they are also rare items. If you meet a buyer who is interested in them, you might be able to make a lot of money.
As soon as the bronze mask was removed, Fatty Wang saw the broken, bloody, and disgusting face behind the mask.
The face looked like it had been corroded by something, with the facial features disappearing and sunken. Unusually bright red and sticky blood mixed with yellow-brown brain matter, and gray-green bones could be seen between the flesh and blood.
Although he didn't smell any strange smell and had seen many disgusting scenes, Fatty Wang still retched and immediately covered his bronze mask again.
This mask is dirty, I absolutely cannot accept it!
In order to stop the urge to vomit, Fatty Wang looked up and saw a pile of mummified "fruits" hanging on the Hydra cypress, occasionally with a few foreign faces and bloody "fruits" with hideous looks of death.
Fatty Wang, whose eyesight was still pretty good, could still see the corpse turtles moving in and out, crawling around on the corpse.
This time he really couldn't hold it in any longer. Fatty Wang covered his mouth, quickly ran to the edge of the stone platform, held onto the wall and started vomiting violently.
Wuxie, who had already figured out how to trick his uncle next, still ignored Fatty Wang's intentions.
Turning around, he saw Wu Sansheng had come down safely and stood beside him. He stretched out his arm and pulled Wu Sansheng over affectionately, put his arm around his shoulders, and pressed him hard towards the front of the female corpse.
"Uncle San, take a closer look at this female corpse. What did you find?"
"What's the big deal? Isn't it just an ordinary female corpse?"
Wu Sansheng looked at the female corpse for a few times and didn't find anything unusual. He just felt uncomfortable being embraced by Wuxie.
He was not interested in the female corpse. At this moment, Wu Sansheng wanted to take a look at the male corpse next to it.
The last time he came, he hired Hei Xia Zi privately and paid a lot of money to ask that money-grubber to keep it a secret.
The Seven Star Lu Palace Tomb was the first part of their plan. In fact, it was mainly to let Wuxie get in touch with these first.
At that time, they carefully walked through the tomb, mainly to roughly explore the danger of the tomb and replace the snake-browed bronze fish.
They wanted to throw Wuxie into a dangerous place to give him some experience, but at least they had to make sure Wuxie could come back alive, otherwise their plan would completely fail.
At that time, Hei Xia Zi clearly said that the male corpse was a blue-eyed fox corpse. The most unique thing about it was its pair of blue pupils. Looking into its eyes could make people fall into hallucinations and kill each other.
But Wuxie and that fat man jumped around the fox corpse for so long, and finally took off their bronze masks, so why are they still not hurt?
Wu Sansheng struggled constantly, but Wuxie was a young man at his strongest, and he put all his strength on him. Even if Wu Sansheng knew some skills, he couldn't break free for a while.
If he couldn't struggle free, he would just give up. Wu Sansheng followed Wu Xie's strength, bent his body slightly, and looked at the female corpse carefully.
