Chapter 291 Meteor Cave
"These days, the business world is like a battlefield, and the situation changes rapidly. Being the boss isn't easy. I just want to live a more relaxed life from now on, and I hope you'll take care of me."
Xie Yuchen almost said that he didn't want to work, he just wanted to have a good rest and lie down and live a lazy life.
After hearing his statement, Zhang Benling nodded and stopped discussing the topic. He turned his attention to the few people who were still playing hide-and-seek with the female Zongzi.
He just asked briefly. As for Xie Yuchen's opinion, it could only be used as a reference. When he returned, with such a talented person in front of him, he would definitely not put it aside.
When it comes to the people under him, he naturally has to make the best use of them and work hard to contribute to the family.
We are still young. How can we think about finding a stable job and sitting back and doing nothing so early?
He is an old man who is objectively over 1,700 years old, but actually over 300 years old, and he has not had any rest. How can young people skip him and enjoy their retirement life in advance?
Zhang Benling had a smile on his face, and in his mind he had already packed a lot of work for Xie Yuchen, waiting for him to return and take up his post.
After Nan Xihe and the others had almost adapted and their physical strength was almost exhausted, Zhang Benling signaled Zhang Haishe to get rid of the female Zongzi.
Seeing Zhang Haishe holding a bottle of potion to bless the knife on the spot, giving it a buff to drive away evil spirits, and then getting rid of Zongzi in no time, the people who were originally either running for their lives or suffering from scraping injuries were moved to tears.
Let’s just say, can you be quicker next time when you come to the rescue?
Although their skills have improved to some extent after this thrilling experience, it is better not to have such stimulating training in the future.
Let’s talk about the situation in the meteorite cave.
Originally, Chen Wenjin was excited that she had finally found a way to suppress the forbidden woman transformation when she saw that they had finally arrived at the place. She wanted to sneak in quickly when no one else was paying attention, but Aning discovered her actions.
The reason why Aning took the initiative to speak up and ruined Chen Wenjin's good deeds was very simple.
Her trip was basically in vain. She didn't even see the shadow of the method of immortality that her boss wanted. The so-called elixir of the Queen Mother of the West was identified by Zhang Benling as a pill made of toxic substances such as mercury and lead powder, plus the mutant corpse turtle king.
Aning, who had taken a risk but gained nothing, was very angry. Seeing that Chen Wenjin seemed to be about to achieve her goal, she felt very unbalanced.
Why can't she achieve her goal, but Chen Wenjin can make her dream come true!
Chen Wenjin's intention was discovered in advance, and she wanted to force her way in alone, but was tied up neatly by Zhang Haishe.
In fact, they didn't have any objection to Chen Wenjin entering the meteorite cave. They just tied her up because her sneaky look was too suspicious.
Zhang Benling asked her in a gentle voice why she insisted on going in and what the situation was inside, but Chen Wenjin didn't know why she was stubborn and didn't say a word.
No one else knew what she was thinking. Wu Sansheng wanted to help, but he felt like he had no idea where to start.
Finally, Zhang Benling asked everyone to wait for him here while he went in to take a look himself.
In addition to the demon corpse of the Queen Mother of the West, which was filled with turbid air and was almost evolving to another level, there was also the corpse of a Qilin with a regretful heart.
Generally, the Qilin corpses are members of the Zhang family who are old and have very high blood concentration. When they encounter extremely difficult evil spirits, they seal their own essence and transform themselves into corpses to suppress the evil spirits.
This can also be considered a way of exchanging pieces in which both parties perish and gain a small amount of money for a big gain.
Judging from the situation here, it seems that a member of the tribe committed suicide here in order to suppress the Queen Mother of the West who turned into a demon corpse without any support.
There are also some special means around that can confuse people and convey information at the same time. It is obvious that he has something unresolved.
However, perhaps due to the age, some of the formations had been damaged, and the information they transmitted was fragmented and indistinct. The stability of the formations had also become highly uncertain, and their effects had changed.
Zhang Benling estimated that if someone stepped into that formation, they would most likely be brainwashed according to the remaining memories of the Qilin corpse, and there was also a certain probability that the person would lose their memory or become stupid.
He thought of what Zhang Moyu had told him, about how his young clan leader had developed multiple amnesia, and the guiding words that Chen Wenjin had said to Zhang Qiling before.
Zhang Benling's eyes gradually turned unfriendly as he looked at the Qilin corpse.
Although I know that you left this formation to transmit information in accordance with family rules, the consequences of the changes created over a thousand years should not be blamed on you...
But after thinking about it, I realized that hurting the clan leader was something that was unforgivable!
At first glance, Zhang Benling planned to try to get rid of the half-snake corpse of the Queen Mother of the West, and then take away the corpse of the Qilin transformed by this tribe member, and bury it with honor after praying for his soul.
Now that he had thought the situation through clearly, he instantly crushed this idea and threw it behind his mind. After making sure that there was no problem in suppressing it, he turned around and left without any reluctance.
Let’s let such a diligent member of the tribe continue to work diligently. After he goes out, he will definitely remember to seal the meteorite cave to minimize the possibility of variables.
This tribesman died a worthy death. He would like to say thank you to him on behalf of all the people in the world and wish him a peaceful death.
Zhang Benling went out cursing in his heart, turned around and threw a bomb into the meteorite cave, then left with his men.
After everything was resolved, they returned along the same route and the two teams met smoothly at the place where they first came down.
Everyone wanted to climb up the rope and leave this dark and damp underground sewer, but the first black bear who climbed up was dumbfounded when he saw the situation above as soon as his head showed up. He let go and slid down again.
The ground above is densely packed with pheasant necks. I don’t know how many pheasant necks are gathered there. I’m afraid that the area they chose is not the pheasant necks’ nest!
Could it be that the pheasants were fooled by them and didn't stay in their nests, so they didn't notice anything unusual when they came over?
When Hei Xia Zi explained the above situation, everyone fell silent.
"They just gathered up there, not a single one coming down. This is really strange. There must be something else going on."
After Zhang Benling confirmed that the divination he had done showed that everyone was safe, he looked calm and didn't worry about the big scene at all.
"Perhaps the snake king who leads the snake group wants to see us. These snakes are very smart, and we don't know what they want to do."
Zhang Moyu expressed his speculation and then prepared to go up and see the specific situation himself.
"I'll see if I can negotiate in serpent language."
Seeing that he wanted to take a risk when the situation was unclear, Zhang Qiling wanted to reach out and grab the corner of his clothes, but he was a step too slow.
