As soon as Master Xuande spoke, Wang Tianqi nodded heavily. Chu Yu didn't feel anything except feeling a little depressed. Others also heard Master Xuande's words, but no one took them to heart. They were just curious.
Staring at the ruins surrounded by barbed wire in the distance, it seemed as if I was about to see a huge treasure.
Looking at the person coming, Princess Chang'an stood beside Chu Yu and introduced him in a low voice: "This person's name is Qian Tingji. He is from the Qian family. He has a high military rank and has been responsible for the defense of the Forbidden Trial Area."
Soon, Qian Tingji, who was full of heroic spirit, came to Master Xuande. He put his hands together and said "Thank you, Master." Then his eyes fell on Chu Yu and others behind Master Xuande.
When he saw Chu Yu, Qian Tingji's eyes paused for a moment, but he quickly turned away and glanced at everyone. Qian Tingji stepped aside and said to Master Xuande: "Master, please."
Master Xuande nodded slightly and walked towards the military camp. Qian Tingji and Master Xuande were talking as they walked. Chu Yu took the clothes and food prepared by Cao Man and walked towards the military camp with Princess Chang'an.
.
Arriving at the military camp, Qian Tingji arranged the accommodation for everyone. There were four newly built tents in the center of the military camp. Each tent could accommodate two people. Chu Yu and Mo Feiyu were assigned to a tent, and Princess Chang'an and Mo Lingjian were assigned to the same tent.
The two brothers and sisters lived together, Mo Xiaorong and Mo Qian lived together, and Master Xuande lived in a tent with Wang Tianqi. After allocating the places to live, Qian Tingji led everyone to a large tent.
There were two rectangular wooden tables in the tent, and sumptuous meals were arranged on the tables. After everyone sat down according to the guest of honour, they began to eat. There was no business talk during the dinner. From the conversation, Chu Yu learned that Qian Tingji turned out to be a lawyer.
A lay disciple of Xuan Temple, so the conversation between Master Xuande and Qian Tingji mostly revolved around the last assassination incident in the Golden Palace and the relationship between Qinglun Imperial Master. However, Wang Tianqi seemed not interested in eating and ate half of the meal.
Then I made an excuse and left the dinner table.
Chu Yu and others ate with gusto. After the meal, Master Xuande asked everyone to take a break and wait until four o'clock in the afternoon to go to the Judgment Forbidden Area for the first trial entry.
Everyone had no objections to Master Xuande's arrangement and went back to their tents to rest. In the tent, Chu Yu and Mo Feiyu chatted casually for a few words, mostly gossip. Later, Mo Xiaorong came in to go out to play with Mo Feiyu.
It was rare for Chu Yu to have some quiet time, so he lay down on the iron bed with his eyes closed and rested for about half an hour. Princess Chang'an came to Chu Yu jumping up and down. After waking Chu Yu, Princess Chang'an pouted and said: "They all see
The excitement is gone, why are you sleeping here?"
"I want to be energetic for the afternoon adventure." Chu Yu explained: "What are they watching?"
"Someone died in the military camp." Seeing that Chu Yu didn't know anything about it, Princess Chang'an started talking: "Just last night, a murder occurred in the military camp. A soldier who was watching the night died. The death was said to be quite miserable. I heard that the head
There was a big hole in it and all the brains were missing."
"Ah?" Chu Yu exclaimed in surprise: "Has the murderer been found?"
"The murderer?" Princess Chang'an smiled bitterly: "No one is looking for the murderer. Because this is the fourth person who has died. Now the whole military camp is panicked. There are many things to say. Even Qian Tingji said it was the murderer.
The monsters in the forbidden area of judgment have come out to cause trouble."
"Is there such a thing?" Chu Yu really couldn't agree with Qian Tingji's statement. He frowned and continued to ask, "Didn't Qian Tingji bring anyone to the Judgment Forbidden Land?"
"We have gone. After the meteorite fell into the forbidden area of judgment, Qian Tingji took ten people to the forbidden area of judgment. Three people died in the forbidden area of judgment." Princess Chang'an also frowned and looked confused.
: "Do you think it's strange or not? The four people who died were all the people who entered the forbidden area of judgment with Qian Tingji."
Hearing such a mysterious thing, Chu Yu did not express his opinion. He just walked up to the outside of the tent. Xuande and others were surrounded not far away. Some soldiers outside were discussing something. Chu Yu knew that Xuande and others were talking about something.
I'm afraid he was looking at the bodies of the dead soldiers when his thoughts changed. Chu Yu turned to Princess Chang'an and said, "Shall we go over and have a look too?"
Princess Chang'an, who had been curious about the baby since she was a child, had long wanted to see what was going on. The two of them walked towards the crowd together. Xuande and others did not notice Chu Yu's arrival, but just stared closely at the corpse in front of them - the dead one.
The soldier was not old, less than twenty years old. There were five deep scratches on his dark face, as if he had been scratched by a woman with long nails.
The soldier's clothes were completely torn, turned into strips of cloth, and covered in blood. The most shocking thing was that there was a big hole as big as a fist on the soldier's head, and his flesh and blood were bloody.
"His fatal wound is on the top of his head." Wang Tianqi was squatting next to the corpse and examining the soldier's body carefully. However, it was obvious that this sentence was nonsense. Everyone could tell at a glance that the wound on the soldier's head was fatal.
"Human skulls are very hard, but the murderer actually put his hand directly into the deceased's head. It seems that he must be a master." Wang Tianqi said and stood up: "I don't think it was some mutant creature from the Judgment Forbidden Land that caused such consequences.
.”
"It should be a human being, and also a person with super powers."
"I have investigated secretly. There are 450 soldiers in the military camp, and no one is suspected."
"It's not that no one is suspected." Wang Tianqi looked at Qian Tingji and said, "It's that everyone is suspected."
"I agree with Director Wang's statement." Master Xuande expressed his stance at this time: "Commander Qian, tell my words to the soldiers and say that I will definitely find out the murderer behind the scenes."
Master Xuande said this, perhaps to eliminate the fear that permeated the hearts of the soldiers, so Qian Tingji did not say anything and just nodded. After Master Xuande finished speaking, he looked back behind him and saw Chu Yu and others.
Now, he opened his mouth and said: "Since everyone is here, let's set off to the Judgment Forbidden Land now."
Wang Tianqi took the lead and said yes. Chu Yu, Mo Feiyu and others also nodded. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Master Xuande turned to look at Qian Tingji: "We will enter the forbidden area of trial now. If we find anything, we will tell you when we come back.
"
"I'll leave the guarding work outside to you."
"As for the deceased, let him be buried as soon as possible."
Qian Tingji nodded, and after calling his two men to prepare for the cremation of the dead soldiers, he led Master Xuande and his party towards the forbidden area of trial. When they came to the place where there was a barbed wire fence, Qian Tingji looked at the two stations.
The soldiers on guard ordered them to cut off the electric switch connected to the barbed wire fence, and then Master Xuande took the lead in getting in through the breach in the barbed wire fence.
When everyone walked on the other side of the barbed wire fence, Qian Tingji ordered the switch to be reopened, and said to Master Xuande with worried eyes: "Master, I will send someone to guard here all the time. I hope you come back soon."
Master Xuande nodded and said nothing. He turned around and walked towards the forbidden area of trial. Chu Yu was walking at the end. After walking for more than ten steps, he looked back and found that Qian Tingji was still standing where he was. Seeing Chu Yu turn around,
Qian Tingji waved to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu smiled at Qian Tingji and turned his head. The group of people walked towards the north in silence. After walking three to four hundred meters, a huge deep pit appeared in front of them. It was almost 4 p.m.
Click, looking at the bottomless pit in front of you, everyone around the pit said nothing.
Except for Master Xuande and Wang Tianqi, everyone else came here for the first time. Master Xuande and Wang Tianqi looked at each other. They discussed in a low voice for a moment and decided that Master Xuande would go in front and Wang Tianqi would finish behind.
Chu Yu and others walked side by side in the middle and headed into the pit.
On the edge of the pit, there are stone steps leading down, as well as some messy stones. It is obvious that the fallen meteorites destroyed the buildings that were repaired before the Judgment Forbidden Area. There is no light below, but Master Xuande has lighting tools in his hand.
, Chu Yu and others were also issued flashlights, and they all took them out at this time. When entering the pit, Chu Yu looked up at the opposite side and found that the top area of the pit was very large, it should be the size of two football fields.
The stone steps went down bit by bit, and Master Xuande and others also walked deeper and deeper. When they walked nearly a hundred meters, there were no more stone steps below the Judgment Forbidden Area, but this did not stop the people with their unique skills.
, when it reached nearly 200 meters, Master Xuande stopped. Chu Yu took a flashlight and looked around, and found that there was a short flat bottom all around.
Along the way, no one spoke, and it was extremely quiet. Chu Yu saw a few corpses buried here in some broken ground. What surprised Chu Yu was that Chang'an, who looked delicate and frail,
The princess also saw these gloomy white bones, but she didn't feel surprised at all. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart and said that this was really a strange princess.
"Let's take a rest here." Master Xuande said. After saying that, he asked Chu Yu and others to sit together in a circle, and then walked east.
"Director Wang, how far is it from our destination?" Mo Lengjian asked aloud at this time.
"We have walked less than half the distance." Wang Tianqi explained: "The empire has been developing the Forbidden Trial Area in recent years. It is still peripheral. There were houses built here before, but they were all destroyed by meteorites." Wang Tianqi said.
Pointing the flashlight at the ruins of the wall next to his feet: "I haven't been here for a long time, and I won't know the specific situation until we see it."
"How big is this place?" Mo Feiyu took a flashlight and looked around, but couldn't see the end.
"It's very big. It's about the same size as the inner city." Wang Tianqi said uncertainly: "There are secret passages extending in all directions below. It's like an inverted tree. The further you go down, the bigger it gets, and the more elusive it becomes.
, the empire has invested a lot of manpower and material resources here over the years, but it still has not thoroughly studied this place."
After Wang Tianqi finished speaking, everyone started talking again. Chu Yu, who was sitting on the ground, took a flashlight and looked around carefully. Suddenly he felt his legs were a little itchy.
There is a spider crawling on it.
This spider was two or three times larger than ordinary spiders, and its body was blood red. Looking at the spider, Chu Yu raised his hand to pinch it off, but was stopped by Mo Qian who was standing beside him: "Wait a minute! This is a blood spider, it is poisonous.
"
Mo Qian took out the dagger he carried with him, pulled the blood spider away from Chu Yu's trouser leg, and stabbed the blood spider to the ground. Everyone gathered around and watched the blood spider talking about it.
Master De walked out of the darkness and glanced at the blood spider on the ground. Master Xuande said to everyone as he walked: "Let's go, let's set off."
After hearing Master Xuande's words, everyone turned and walked in the direction Master Xuande left. After taking two steps, Chu Yu suddenly turned around with a strong foreboding feeling in his heart. Wherever the flashlight swept, a black shadow appeared.
