"Maybe the villagers ate it themselves." Alan muttered.
"That's not right." Bai Zhi shook her head in denial, "I have also seen the situation in Xuechi Village. A large number of livestock were slaughtered on the same day."
Jin Buhuan smiled coldly: "If someone really feeds them, they must have been starved and red-eyed since they have lost their food source these days."
Thinking of the skink's ferocious appearance, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
"But why do you want to raise such a ghost thing? It's so scary."
Dong Qingxian thought: "Maybe it's for domestication, or maybe it's the worship of strange and chaotic gods. As Brother Gesang said, they are called root-dragons. Don't you think it's strange that since entering the mine,
We were in danger one after another. It was like someone had set up a dragnet to lure us here."
"If it was a trap set deliberately, his intentions are indeed vicious." Liu Ruyan said coldly.
"Since it's a trap, why don't we all go back? Maybe this so-called sword tomb is also a guise to deceive people." Fu Xin backed down.
Qiu Shi looked regretful: "It was a waste of time and I didn't even catch half of the antiques."
Liu Ruyan wanted to say something more, but at this moment, there was a noise at the end, and the group of people who had been clamoring to leave turned back again.
"Why are you back again?" she stepped forward and asked.
A disciple explained to her: "I planned to take my injured brother back the same way, but I never thought that the previously good robbery hole was suddenly sealed, and I couldn't get out from here at all!"
"Sealed?" Everyone looked at each other, "Sure enough, someone is causing trouble secretly."
Liu Ruyan was also surprised. She didn't expect that the intersection would be blocked so quickly, and could the murderer hiding in the dark be a villager from Xuechi Village?
After all, the blood sacrifice has always been handled by the Blood Pond Village. They feed the skinks all year round and know all the layout of the underground.
So the sword tomb incident was also a rumor spread by these villagers?
"When the elder brothers were inspecting the robber's cave, was the soil they shoveled up new soil?" she asked Xiang Tufuzi.
Tufuzi said without hesitation: "It is indeed new soil. To be precise, it is soil that was turned over half a month ago."
Therefore, the Thieves' Cave was only recently dug, and combined with the fact that Xuechi Village feeds skinks all year round, there is actually another real exit.
Liu Ruyan said loudly: "Let's keep searching, there should be another way out of the mine."
"Lord." Ling Yun bypassed the crowd and came to stand in front of Shen Yanchu, "May I ask, Lord, is there really another way out here?"
Shen Yanchu said lightly: "As she said, there is indeed a stone channel near the skink's lair that leads to the outside world."
Everyone asked: "Even if there is still a way, the skink's bite is very poisonous, how can we escape?"
"That's right."
Liu Ruyan said to everyone present: "There may be someone secretly behind this incident, but no matter what, I hope everyone can work together to tide over the difficulties."
"That's easy to say. Do you have a way to deal with the reptiles?" someone shouted again.
She looked at the person who asked the question: "Using crossbows and fire, we can break out. So please follow me to the stone room and get some crossbows and fish oil."
"If you don't want to sit and wait for death, let's go get the crossbow and kill those reptiles!"
"I'll go too!"
"Walk!"
They immediately went to the stone room to get crossbows, arrows, and mermaid oil.
He also removed several pieces of iron birch from the waterwheel and transformed them into shields.
Later, Liu Ruyan selected a few of these people to serve as crossbowmen, and each crossbowman was paired with a swordsman to prevent Shilongzi from breaking through the strong crossbow formation and causing casualties.
Finally, she picked out a few shield bearers to strengthen the defense. In this way, everyone could break out of the beast herd according to their formation.
While everyone was tying hemp ropes on the arrows and pouring fish oil on them, Liu Ruyan asked the crossbowmen to familiarize themselves with the crossbows as soon as possible.
From installing arrows, aiming, shooting and other steps, practice over and over again to ensure that there will be no mistakes in every step.
This shooting mission is unusual. What lies in front of them is a group of man-eating and poisonous beasts, which are agile in movement and even possess a certain degree of intelligence. Everyone must remain vigilant and fight their way out.
After a hard training session, everyone was already exhausted and exhausted.
It was almost late at night.
Everyone sat down around the campfire to rest and recharge their batteries to deal with the beasts in the morning.
Just as Liu Ruyan sat down, Dugu Yi took a piece of freshly baked biscuits and sat opposite her: "I can't believe that the girl's crossbow is so good. I wonder where I can learn from it?"
Liu Ruyan looked at the cake handed in front of her. It was golden and crispy, with a salty aroma. Her eyes went up and fell into his inquiring eyes.
Those who are good at using crossbows are either soldiers or assassins. Dugu Yi suddenly asked where he learned from, probably because he was suspicious of her.
"What are you talking about?" Shen Yanchu came over with a piece of Gulouzi. Compared with the Hu cake in Dugu Yi's hand, the Gulouzi was filled with a layer of mutton, which was moderately fat and fragrant.
He handed the ancient building to Liu Ruyan and looked down at the two of them.
Liu Ruyan held the cake in her hands, almost thinking that the devil was taking good care of her.
"Miss Liu and I are discussing the crossbow array. I want to take this opportunity to protect Miss Liu's safety." Dugu Yi said with a smile.
"No need." Shen Yanchu looked coldly and refused directly, "As long as I am here, nothing will happen to her. As for you, go find your good junior brother."
Dugu Yi was stunned and almost blurted out - Who do I want to take care of, why should you decide?
Shen Yanchu saw through him at first glance, with a cold look in his eyes: "Those with impure minds will find it difficult to reach the peak of martial arts in the future."
Dugu Yi's expression changed in shock. He stared at the other person closely and asked, "Who are you?"
Shen Yanchu lowered his eyes, but he said to Liu Ruyan: "If you die easily, I will feel a headache."
Liu Ruyan smiled angrily: "Don't worry, I'm still waiting to burn incense for you."
His eyes looked dangerous: "You are cursing me."
"How dare you? It's too late to save you."
"Do you think I can't see what's in your heart?"
Liu Ruyan quickly lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "Devil, hurry up and break the blood curse for me."
Devil Shen looked arrogant: "I don't understand."
"Is it possible that you want to regret it?" She raised her voice, and her beautiful face suddenly turned miserable, "Do you want to relive that time on the boat for you?"
Liu Ruyan immediately grabbed his hand, pointed her four fingers upward and swore to the sky: "The sky is above, and the sun and moon are our guides. If we encounter someone who cast a curse in the future, Shen Yanchu will order him to lift the ban. If not, he will be punished by God!"
Shen Yanchu turned his eyes away with a look of disgust on his face: "I didn't personally promise this."
She was absolutely furious: "I really want to regret it. You can play rogue now that you have lost your memory, right?"
He snorted coldly.
"Tsk, tsk." Ye Xun sighed, didn't the male protagonist know that the arrogant man was so happy that he chased his wife in the crematorium?
Dugu Yi, who was completely ignored by the two people: "..."
