The Taoist priest frowned and said, "Brother Xu Ye... please elaborate."
Xu Ye thanked Qin Yin who took the initiative to help him, walked among the people and began to tell, "After we separated that day, Ye Bai woke up not long after, and after waking up, he hurriedly prepared to find a way to leave.
Wangcheng, after I reminded that we still need to look for other people, Ye Bai started to lead the way and took me to where he said the others were hiding. But in fact, Ye Bai's eyes were already a little abnormal at that time..."
"What kind of abnormal method?" Lao Luo asked.
Xu Ye raised his eyes and recalled, "On weekdays, Brother Ye Bai is always full of smiles, gentle and reliable, but at that time... Ye Bai's eyes didn't look like him anymore, as if he was a different person."
Lao Luo nodded, "What happens next?"
"Under his guidance, I crossed a jungle and saw a white building among the trees. Ye Bai told me that they were hiding in that building. When I walked to a pool of water, I suddenly felt a pain on the back of my neck.
It hurts, I fainted, and when I woke up, I was already in the Prison of the Dead."
Xu Ye paused for a moment, and seeing that no one had any doubts, he continued, "I saw them here, and just as I was wondering, Ye Bai suddenly appeared at the door. Without saying a word, he closed the door with a sullen face.
, we tried our best but could not open this door, this prison is absorbing our spiritual energy, people died one by one, only..."
Jasmine responded dully, "You and Qiaoqiao are the only ones left..."
"Qiao Qiao," Xu Ye knelt down on one knee next to Qiao Nian, "Is Qiao Nian okay?"
Lao Luo said, "It's not life-threatening."
After hearing the story, Luo Jiutian still shook his head in disbelief, "I don't believe it... How could Brother Ye Bai become like this? What does he want? Ye Bai is definitely not like this..."
"Jiutian," Xu Ye said softly, "people will change. You haven't seen many evil people. From now on... you will understand."
Luo Jiutian glanced at Lao Luo.
"Not everyone's thoughts can be understood by you," Lao Luo said to Luo Jiutian, "but this matter is indeed suspicious and requires in-depth investigation."
Luo Jiutian nodded heavily, "Just wait until Qiao Nian wakes up. Qiao Nian knows the whole process. Even if something goes wrong with Ye Bai, she can tell us the cause of the matter."
Jasmine and Xu also lifted up Qiao Nian's unconscious body. The fool hooked his hands at the two of them, and before they could react, he picked up Qiao Nian and carried her on his back.
"Then do you know the location of the leader here, Wen Buluo?" Maple Sugar asked Xu Ye.
Xu Ye slowly shook his head, "Wenbro... I have never heard of this name."
Lao Luo patted his son's shoulder twice and said, "Let's go to the other side and have a look."
A large group of people rushed to the prison cell opposite. The people locked up here must be members of the guard.
It's also possible that it was Wembrow himself.
The door actually opened a crack, and when I looked in through the crack, it was pitch black inside.
There was a faint sound of dripping water.
"squeak--"
Lao Luo opened the door, and a faint light shone into the prison cell at the same time.
This prison cell is different. There seems to be a recess in the center of the room.
The room was empty, not a single soul in sight.
The few people took two more steps inside. Suddenly, Luo Jiutian's extremely weak flashlight went out.
"Click! Click!..."
After pulling the button up and down several times, Luo Jiutian said depressedly, "The battery is out."
"I, I, I, I still have this," Qin Yin rustled and blindly flipped through his backpack, "My last inventory, this one will be gone if it runs out of power. This is my protective flashlight, it's super bright.
Look..."
"Click!"
"ah!--"
It's really super bright.
Xiaolan didn't know whether she should cover her eyes or ears. Qin Yin's scream rang in her ears. For a moment, Xiaolan felt that the whole world was quiet, but soon it became noisy again.
"What is that?!"
"What?" Xiaolan patted her ears and said loudly, "What did you say?"
The people around me were already running towards the end of the flashlight light.
"There!" Qin Yin shook the flashlight and trembled, "What is that? Oh my God, I saw a skull..."
The flashlight pointed directly at the sunken ground. It was a pool. The pool was filled with black liquid. In the center of the liquid, a snow-white skull was half exposed in the water.
Xiaolan understood Qin Yin all of a sudden. When he opened his eyes, he saw this thing. The impact was indeed extraordinary.
"This is the uniform of the guard," the Taoist priest pointed to the uniform of the guard that vaguely emerged from the surface of the black water, "Then he should be the one who absorbs the spiritual tide."
Luo Jiutian poked his head into the pool, "There are no gems, it's not Wenbro, it seems like it's just an ordinary guard."
"He..." Xiaolan asked, "Is he also reshaping his body?"
As soon as he finished asking, Xiaolan was covered by Qin Yin's eyes and pushed aside to avoid him.
"Children, stop looking at these things..."
"I have seen skeletons many times, Sister Xiaoyin."
"..."
Is this what a child should say?
"He is indeed reshaping his body," Lao Luo squatted by the pool, "but - he is already dead."
"Dead?!" Luo Jiutian's eyes widened.
"Dead."
As Lao Luo said, he stretched out his hand to clasp the front of the skull, and with a little force, the skull appeared completely in front of them. The thick black water slid down along the bones, and the center of the clavicle on both sides under the skull,
A wooden stick was stuck out.
Luo Jiutian's face instantly turned gray.
"This is half of the Heavenly Flag..." Luo Jiutian said to himself, "This is Brother Ye Bai's Heavenly Flag..."
Xu Ye was shocked. Just as he was about to say something, he choked on his breath and coughed violently.
Jasmine patted Xu Ye on the back and asked, "What do you mean? Ye Bai also killed the guards?"
Luo Jiutian stared at the half of the sky flag and remained silent.
Xiaolan took advantage of Qin Yin to watch the excitement and hurried to the edge of the pool, frowning at the skeleton in Lao Luo's hand.
"Can skeletons also be stabbed to death by sticks?" Xiao Lan asked Xiang Lao Luo.
Lao Luo gave Xiaolan a look of approval but said nothing.
"The Tianzuo Banner is a magical weapon, not an ordinary stick," Luo Jiutian's voice could almost only be heard by himself, "it is the magical weapon of Wu Gengtian..."
Ye Bai's betrayal seemed to have a reason.
He wanted power and other people's spiritual tides, so he led his companions into the Prison of the Dead and killed the guards who were supposed to enjoy these spiritual tides.
Xiaolan had never met Ye Bai, so she didn't have any big feelings. But seeing Luo Jiutian's appearance of a collapse in his outlook on life, he guessed that this matter was really inconsistent with Ye Bai's character.
Qiao Nian had no intention of waking up, and they returned to the tunnel. Luo Jiutian pulled off the Tianzuo flag from the skeleton, held it in his hand and looked at it with a complicated expression.
However, Wemblow was still nowhere to be found.
There is no end to this tunnel. Do we need to knock on every door to determine the location of Wenbro?
Is this idea of solving problems by elimination really correct?
