The big man was so anxious that he almost cried out, and said in a trembling voice:
"Yes, yes! Please save me quickly. Oh my God, I only have a small part of my finger left! After you save me, I will take you there even if I have to crawl!"
Du Yuqi chuckled and gave him the antidote. After a while, the guy let out a shrill scream.
It turned out that with the effect of the antidote, the previously paralyzed nerves began to gradually recover, and a lot of the terrible toxins had dissolved in this guy's body. That kind of severe pain was certainly not something a normal person could endure. Only then did Du Yuqi waved for people to come over and asked them to fetch clean water and keep pouring it on this guy until the black water on his body was almost washed away. It was also thanks to the fact that this big guy had good physical fitness, otherwise he would not be able to survive at all.
However, the poison injected by the Corpse Talker also dissolved most of this guy's fingers, toes, etc., and even the skin on his body turned into a waxy state. If it were on Earth, such injuries would undoubtedly have him sent to the crematorium. But if this guy had money and could ask someone to help with divine treatment, or get some healing potions to drink, then there would be no problem in saving his life.
When Du Yuqi looked back, he found that the corpse of the Corpse Talker was surrounded by many people. Many of them were kneeling there crying, and some were cursing and throwing stones. They were obviously victims. After Du Yuqi walked over, they no longer showed hostility towards him, but looked at him with awe.
After Du Yuqi had these people burn most of the corpse of the Corpse Talker, he had someone take him to the stone building where the big man mentioned the hot spring was. At this time, there were many people willing to help him. After getting there, they worked together to move the rocks and clear the passage. Du Yuqi then found that it was just as the big man said, there was a collapsed passage with patterns carved on the wall, and there were many bones in the passage.
After coming here, Du Yuqi's knowledge was more than ten times that of the big man. Therefore, after careful investigation and research, he naturally obtained more information. First, he found out the cause of death of these people: most of these corpses were lying there, with normal postures, and the bones were intact without any damage, which meant that they should have been in a relatively safe state before they died. Combined with the surrounding environment, it was easy to conclude that they died of lack of food and water.
Secondly, it seemed that this group of people should have escaped by digging a passage from the bottom. In fact, they were not far from the bottom of the rock building. Unfortunately, they fell in the last few meters of the road. Otherwise, the passage they dug would not have been shaken open by an earthquake.
Du Yuqi explored downwards along the passage they had dug, wanting to know where they had escaped from. However, he discovered that the passage had collapsed in several places and was flooded after they had walked out less than twenty meters. After barely walking another ten meters or so, the collapse completely blocked their way, and they had to return with regret.
The patterns carved on the wall were indeed lifelike and vivid, and were very vivid with just a few strokes. In addition to the corpse talker that Du Yuqi had seen, there was also a monster that looked like a peeled cockroach, with tentacles all over its body. Its name seemed to be the String Monster, and this monster was also good at sneak attacks, so it was an object that must be paid attention to.
Finally, there is a monster carved on the wall, as if its whole body is covered with blades. Perhaps because the painter was too hungry to draw the picture at the time, the picture is rather blurry. However, according to the pattern on the wall, this monster will be wrapped in a blood cocoon before it appears, so there is a lot of warning time.
Next, Du Yuqi collected some belongings from the dead - of course, all that was left at this time were worthless scraps - in order to determine their identities, and then turned back.
At this time, Du Yuqi seized the time and no longer hesitated, and re-entered the first rock building to continue exploring. It is worth mentioning that there were also brave people who wanted to follow Du Yuqi in, but the terrible fog in the lower level still existed, and those who wanted to follow did not have Du Yuqi's high-tech equipment. Once they entered the darkness, they completely lost their sense of direction, and finally screamed in horror and took out their equipment.
This time his exploration did not encounter any obstacles. No one knew where the half-corpse speaker had escaped to. Du Yuqi finally found the mark that symbolized "Number 7" and then walked into the stone chamber that he had spent so much energy to find!
It can be seen that the drainage system here should be good, and due to the terrain, the room is quite dry, and there are even traces of spiders, scorpions and other activities. Compared with the other rooms, it is quite intact. Of course, please note that compared with the other rooms, there is still dust everywhere, and the wind erosion feels very heavy. I guess in the past few hundred years, countless people have stayed in this room, and the only advantage Du Yuqi has over these people is that he knows the password of "radish is very sweet"...
After searching for a long time, Du Yuqi sighed in frustration, ignored the dirt on the ground and sat down on it, leaning against the wall next to him, then let out a frustrated breath and inserted his fingers into his hair:
"Then the only reasonable explanation is that the old man remembered it wrong again."
Du Yuqi thought with some depression.
Of course, at this moment, he had selectively forgotten how he approached Feng Lin and called him "teacher" in a very affectionate manner when he saw him...If old man Feng Lin was here and heard Du Yuqi calling him "old thing" unscrupulously, he would definitely smile and let him experience the feeling of the mental energy wave hitting his face.
"Huh? No!?"
After falling to the ground, Du Yuqi suddenly recalled one thing. It was during the adventure in Shatley that he had the opportunity to appreciate the way the nobles hid items at that time. Whether it was Xilan's scroll or the secret vault that the Ratnes family could carry with them, it was really eye-opening and completely astonishing.
If we think in this way, then we cannot look at this problem from a conventional perspective. If we hide things in this room, there will always be a low probability risk of being discovered. The password of "the radish is very sweet" is not a very rare combination of words. For example, a few homeless people came here and stole a bunch of radishes. Someone casually praised them, saying "the radish is very sweet". The probability of this happening is very small, but it cannot be ignored.
Therefore, the person who set the password at that time would definitely eliminate this possibility and make sure that only those who really know the password can obtain the secret. If this is the case, then there is a great possibility that the password should be... written!
Therefore, Du Yuqi immediately pulled out his sword and carved on the ground, writing the words "The radish is very sweet" on the ground. However, after writing the words, there seemed to be no reaction. Du Yuqi sighed and said:
"Okay, I admit that over a long period of time, the probability that someone passed by here and accidentally carved the words 'The Radish is Very Sweet' on the floor of the stone house... is close to zero, but it is still possible. Since the person who set up this secret was so cautious, the most likely explanation is that the words 'The Radish is Very Sweet' were carved on the ceiling! In this way, the probability of the secret being discovered is truly zero!"
Then, Du Yuqi found some rocks nearby to use as stepping stones, and finally took out a can of Coke from the dimensional ring and placed it on the gravel next to him. After he stood on it, the weapon in his hand could reach the ceiling.
At this time, a series of rustling sounds came from the darkness, but Du Yuqi could tell that it was the sound made by the corpse talker. Fear comes from the unknown, but Du Yuqi already knew what was lurking behind the darkness, so of course he didn't have any worries at all. Du Yuqi just coughed heavily, and the sound in the darkness immediately retreated in panic.
"You're lucky." Du Yuqi thought to himself. Then he raised his sword and tried to carve a word on the top of the stone chamber. However, he immediately felt something was wrong after the sword tip slid over it, because a lot of mud and ash fell from above. The seemingly hard ceiling was surprisingly soft. Du Yuqi wanted to write the word "萝" in the Chinese character for "radish" with a horizontal stroke, but when he used force, he made a hole in it. Not only that, he was not careful and sand got into his eyes. He could only jump off the Coke box with his eyes squinting.
"Uh, is this the last preventive measure? Even if someone wants to carve words on the ceiling of the stone chamber, they will be discouraged by the dust, unless they are well prepared?" Du Yuqi said hatefully in his heart.
Then he went out and cut off a few long and sharp branches from the trees outside. Then he returned to the stone room and used these branches to sweep the stone floor vigorously. A large amount of dust and sand fell from the stone floor and hit the raincoat Du Yuqi had put on in advance, making a rustling sound. Even so, Du Yuqi began to miss the large brown-red jujube wood bathtub in his residence. He felt that at least one or two kilograms of sand were stuffed into his hair...
When the top of the stone chamber had been swept away to a thickness of at least two or three inches, Du Yuqi found that it suddenly became smooth. The texture of the cave ceiling clearly showed an extraordinary color and luster. If one had to use something as a comparison, it was as if part of the eggshell of an egg had been peeled off.
