Guan Chen also looked at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu said, "We came here in the first place because of the space magic spell cast by the lotus cane. But according to my current understanding of the Thirty-Six Villages, there are many talented people in the Thirty-Six Villages, but there are very few Xuan Masters, let alone Xuan Masters who can use space magic spells."
"So when the ancient Yaozhai entered here to get the blood-curdling Gu, they must not have come in from the way we came in, but actually found a passage to come in. Then their direction would be opposite to ours. For them, the entrance we came in from was their end."
Lin Wu looked at the stone door in front of him, "In other words, they will only come in from the other side of this stone door to get the blood man Gu. So it must be able to be opened. If human power can't open it, then external force will be used."
"......?" Ren Ke's expression was indescribable. "But according to what you said, shouldn't the mechanism to open it be on the other side, not on our side! Otherwise, how can they close this door after they go out? There is still no way out."
Lin Wu looked at her like a fool: "I remember that the Blood Man Gu is not easy to refine, and it is very easy to go wrong in the process. Since they want to use the Blood Man Gu to guard this place, they will leave people here to watch and make sure that the Blood Man Gu is successful before leaving. So of course there must be a mechanism to get out here."
Ren Ke turned around and left, "I'll keep an eye on them, you guys use your brains. Oh, by the way, I want to remind you, my ears tell me that those little cuties are about 20 meters away from us, they're almost there."
Lin Wu: “…”
Guan Chen: “…”
The two suppressed their thoughts and searched the stone walls on both sides, but found nothing.
Lin Wu stomped his feet and searched the ground to see if any rock would suddenly collapse.
The mechanism was not found, and suddenly gunshots rang out.
Lin Wu turned his head and saw several bloody figures appearing at the end not far away. They were not walking fast, but the huge crowd was very scary. Especially since they were a group of dead people without skin and blood.
"Fuck, Lin Wu!! Why didn't they fall down after being shot?" Ren Ke's unexpected voice came.
Lin Wu looked up at the stone wall above. "Didn't I tell you before that they died a long time ago? Now they are carriers of the Gu worms, and they are driven to move. Even if you cut off their heads, as long as the Gu worms are still inside them, they can still move and are extremely difficult to kill."
"You fucking——" Gunshots rang out one after another, accompanied by Ren Ke's cursing, "Is this hard to kill? This guy is simply impossible to kill, okay! Guan Chen, come here, let me switch with you!"
Guan Chen ignored him, checked thoroughly, and turned back to Lin Wu.
"There is no mechanism here. It's a dead end. You are wrong. Let's try to go back."
Lin Wu frowned, "No, there must be a trap. I'm not wrong. Otherwise, how can the people from the Thirty-Six Villages get out after entering?"
Guan Chen asked, "Are you sure that the refining of the Blood Man Gu requires someone to be here to watch over it?"
Lin Wu asked back: "Do you doubt my memory?"
Guan Chen stopped talking, thought for a moment, and said suddenly, "Could it be that the mechanism is not here, but in the cave we just went to, or somewhere in the passage we took when we came here?"
"It's possible..."
Lin Wu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said, "Wait, that should be the location where the figurines are hanging above the cave. When you knocked the figurines off earlier, I noticed something was exposed there, but I didn't see it clearly. Now it seems that it is very likely related to the mechanism that opens the door."
Guan Chen immediately said, "It's estimated to be six or seven meters high, but it's okay. I have the Flying Tiger Claw with me, so I can go up."
"Okay, then..."
"Fuck you guys! You guys are still chatting? Still chatting! Can't you see I'm in trouble here! Lin Wu, you are not allowed to chat with him anymore, mind my business!" Ren Ke shouted angrily.
Ren Ke saw that shooting was useless, so he put the gun on his waist, pulled out the dagger he carried with him and the crowbar he had left, rushed forward, hit several people with one swing of the stick, and then took the opportunity to chop off the bloody man's head.
But as Lin Wu said, even without his head, the bloody man could still stand up and continue to attack Ren Ke.
Even though they walk slowly, their attack speed is not slow at all. The nails on their hands are long and sharp, making them hard to defend against. They are also very agile when they pounce on Ren Ke.
The passage was not very spacious, and there were four blood men besieging it at the same time, with more coming in from behind, giving Ren Ke a headache.
Ren Ke remembered what Lin Wu said about corpse poison, and was wary of being hurt or touched by it. This restricted her further, and she felt a little embarrassed when dodging.
The only good thing was that the bloody men were dry and there was no blood to flow out. When Ren Ke cut off their heads, he didn't have to worry about being splashed with blood. He would just feel disgusted when he saw the white worms wriggling in their wounds.
Active attack is useless. The bloody man is unaware of pain and fatigue. He will be thrown away and then stand up to attack again.
Ren Ke turned around and called out to Lin Wu: "Did you get any results? What are you doing? If not, I'm really going to blow them up! They're so fucking disgusting, I think they won't get up again until they're blown to pieces!"
Lin Wu and Guan Chen turned and rushed over.
"You blew them up and made them fly all over the sky. Even if their blood, flesh and poisonous insects stick to you, they will still infect you." Lin Wu said.
Ren Ke saw them coming and gave up. He turned around and rushed towards them, saying, "Then you find a way to deal with them yourselves..."
Lin Wu grabbed her arm as she passed by, and at the same time raised his foot to kick the approaching bloody men away, knocking down several of them.
There were more than twenty bloody men that could be seen in the field of vision. They kept coming closer, blocking the passage tightly, and more bloody men kept waking up behind them.
"Here comes your job." Lin Wu said, "See them? Go through and return to the cave. The mechanism to open the door seems to be over there."
Ren Ke: “??? It seems?!”
Guan Chen said at the right time: "Do you want to stay here and have close contact with them? That's fine, if you stay to attract them, Black Fox and I will encounter fewer of them."
“………” Ren Ke took a deep breath, suppressed his nausea and turned around.
Lin Wu and Guan Chen followed immediately.
Lin Wu stepped on the stone wall and used the force to flip in the air, landing among those bloody men.
Sensing the presence of living people, the bloody man rushed towards Lin Wu like crazy.
Ren Ke and Guan Chen were shocked.
"You want to die!" Ren Ke rushed over.
Guan Chen drew his gun and shot several bloody men close to Lin Wu. Although the bullets could not kill them, the impact force could cause them to stagger backwards due to inertia and away from Lin Wu.
Lin Wu drew his sword and clenched the bloody man's arm in front of him, then kicked it away and rushed forward.
The goal is not to fight them, but to clear a way back to the cave as quickly as possible.
