There were many skeletons stacked up in the cave, both big and small, and covered with long black hair, which looked eerie and cold.
Xie Yuchen carefully twisted the skeleton with his hands. "The Nine Gates suffered heavy losses back then, probably because of these..."
"Are these... stacked like humans?" Hei Xia Zi took a closer look.
Xie Yuchen covered his nose and said in a muffled voice, "They might be trying to crawl out. And the smell of blood is so strong, there must be a lot of blood inside."
"It looks like they poured cement in from the outside and sealed it while the person was still alive..."
Before Wu Xie finished speaking, he heard Hei Xia Zi muttering slowly, "That's my style."
Looking at the surprised and puzzled expressions of Jie Yuchen and Wuxie, Hei Xiazi explained with a smile: "What I mean is that I would only do this when it is absolutely necessary."
“Drip, drip, drip… drip, drip…”
As soon as Hei Xia Zi finished speaking, his cell phone rang. It should have lost signal a long time ago, but it was unknown when it was connected again.
The call was from Fatty. The three of them stared at the phone, feeling somewhat hesitant. Finally, Wuxie pressed the answer button.
As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard a noisy sound coming from the other end, as well as the sound of electricity caused by poor signal. The person on the other end spoke intermittently, and it didn't sound like the fat man's voice.
"Hello, is that Fatty?" Wuxie asked tentatively.
"I...chu...you...?"
The intermittent voice made it impossible for the three people to recognize who it was. This call was too difficult.
"I can't hear you clearly, can you repeat it again?" Wuxie asked.
"…still…20 minutes…to catch…something."
Then the phone was hung up before the three of them could react. All three pairs of eyes were confused. What did the 20 points mentioned on the phone mean? What were they going to catch? The unknown information gave them a headache.
"What... does this mean?" Hei Xia Zi asked.
Wu Xie frowned as he held the phone. "20 minutes, it should be 20 minutes, which means time is tight. He might be trying to tell us that there will be some uncontrollable accidents in 20 minutes..."
"If this is true, then we have to hurry up. The mechanism here is probably not a one-time thing. Let's be careful and take action!" Xie Yuchen added.
While the three people here were actively digging holes, the people on the other side were also busy. After walking for a while, they arrived at a large open space. The fat man suggested that they take a break and study the map first, and he patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder and said that he was going to do something important.
Zhang Qiling couldn't figure out what big thing the fat man could be doing, which could be more important than his search for Xiaochuan. Then he saw the fat man walk to a secluded pile of rocks and whistle with his back to the team.
“…” Zhang Qiling silently withdrew his gaze. He was overthinking it.
After the fat man had dealt with the most important thing in his life, he turned around and was about to leave when he heard the sound of a stone falling behind him. Then he was kicked out. Fortunately, Zhang Qiling was quick enough to catch the fat man, otherwise he would have hit the stone and would have had to recuperate for ten days to half a month if he was lucky.
"Damn...hiss, I've been kicked several times today!" The fat man cursed with his teeth bared.
The noise startled the people who were still resting, and the surrounding area was already full of those dog-skin plaster-like Miluotos.
"strong base!"
Someone shouted, and several guys carrying strong alkali came forward. However, a large amount of strong alkali failed to dissolve Miluotuo. Everyone retreated quickly and left the place along the cracks in the rocks.
