Chapter 1147 – A place of seclusion
The deeper they went into Pill King Valley, the more An Zheng felt that the surrounding environnt changed a lot. The strange thing was that the temperature had dropped terrifying level, and the plants were flourishing. In the forest, so strange small sized beasts were not afraid of people, they curiously looked at An Zheng and the others as they walked over.
At the end of the path, there was an open space filled with weeds. There were so statues wrapped in vines on the grass, mottled and scattered. So had already fallen, while others were incomplete. The strangest thing about these statues was that they didn’t look like humans, nor did they look like monsters.
The shape of the sculpture was a very abstract feeling. The human body was just an outline, but the facial features were blurry. However, the clothes were beautifully carved with smooth lines, giving off the impression that the sculpted master was tired after carving the body, so he casually put his head away.
“Why don’t they look like they’re from the Central Plains?”
Du Shoushou curiously walked around a sculpture. Then, he saw that all the statues had tails, like a monkey’s tail.
“Not human at all.”
After Zhu Xiaojian finished speaking, he walked in with large strides, and found a cave amidst the ssy grass. The door was closed, and it was very small. It was just like a normal family’s house. If three people walked side by side, they would probably all be squeezed together.
“That’s not right.”
Zhu Xiaojian looked at the door, and his face suddenly changed: “Soone has entered.”
He reached out and the door creaked open.
An Zheng and Du Shoushou imdiately ca over to take a look. They could not see anything clearly from the incomparable darkness inside the cave. Previously, no one had seen footprints like this. Moreover, this place belonged to the forbidden area of dicine Valley, so no one would have thought that soone would co in here first.
“Let’s go in.”
Zhu Xiaojian took out a few pearls from his spatial artifact and threw them inside. Those pearls emitted an extrely bright brilliance, brightening up the entire passage. Moreover, the light emitted by the bead seed to have so sort of special effect, as many shallow footprints appeared on the ground.
“They are all experts.”
Zhu Xiaojian squatted down and looked at the footprints, then turned to look at An Zheng and the others: “Fatty, go back and call for people. There are more people on the other side, there are at least thirty of them. Judging from the changes caused by the footprints on the dust, you’re quite strong. Your realm is slightly lower, so don’t go in for now. Go and notify all the officers of DEA and above to co here, all the border guards will send half of them here. ”
Du Shoushou glanced at An Zheng, who nodded at him, then ran out right away.
“Seems like it’s not just us who are interested in Xiao Xiaosheng and his things.”
Zhu Xiaojian was the first one to walk in, so he intentionally took note of the place that Zhu Xiaojian had walked past. If not for the light emitted by the pearl, the footprints would not have been visible at all, and the arrangent of the dust had not even changed. Under the light’s illumination, An Zheng discovered that Zhu Xiaojian’s footprints were much lighter than the ones from before, to the point that it was almost impossible to see.
This person’s strength was truly unfathomable.
“Master, how many secrets do you have left?”
An Zheng asked from behind.
Zhu Xiaojian’s footsteps paused for a while, and it seed to be a smile: “This so called secret, will make many people curious and feel inferior. Curiosity is by nature, and inferiority is because I don’t know what a secret is, and I feel that my position is not high enough … This was actually true. That’s why the common people are so interested in the secrets of the upper echelons. If you hear the slightest bit of news, you will imdiately spread it. When you brag about it, you feel unusually satisfied with it and feel that you are a grade higher than them and that you know more secrets. ”
He turned around and glanced at An Zheng: “You’re not tall enough.”
An Zheng also laughed: “The direction of height is different.”
Zhu Xiaojian was silent for a while, and the look in his eyes changed.
The marks on the ground split apart at the fork in the road, and the fork in the road in front of them also gave the newcoreadache. Their team was divided into three groups, with about ten people in each group. Zhu Xiaojian glanced at An Zheng. It seed that choosing two people and three streets was a bit difficult.
“The DEA dallion I gave you can be used to locate and contact each other.”
Zhu Xiaojian taught so of the functions of his identity badge to An Zheng, and then left a very secret mark at the intersection that only the people of the DEA could find.
“dallions belonging to the deputy chief of security and above all have special functions. They can teleport within three thousand ters of each other.”
Zhu Xiaojian placed his and An Zheng’s identity plates together, and the light on the two identity cards began to flow, and circulate for a week before dispersing. Zhu Xiaojian returned An Zheng’s identity plate to him: “If you encounter any danger, press on the protrusion in the middle and you will be transported to my side. But don’t go beyond three thousand ters. If you go beyond that, it will be useless. Choose a fork in the road and exit if you feel like you can’t handle it. ”
An Zheng said, “Oh, is it okay if you don’t go in?”
Zhu Xiaojian glanced at him, then chose to enter through the left passageway. An Zheng sighed, thinking that Zhu Xiaojian had said that there would be a large amount of pills or sothing like that, he decided to go to the right side of the fork.
The further he went, the wider the path beca. The stone walls around him were very neat, and there were also murals. However, because the light was dim, it was difficult to see what the painting was. An Zheng released Heaven’s Eyes in front of him, maintaining a distance of around two hundred tres. Whatever the Heaven’s Eyes saw, directly appeared in An Zheng’s mind. So even if An Zheng was walking forward with his eyes closed, there actually wouldn’t be any problems.
Of course, this would take a long ti to get used to. Otherwise, if Heaven’s Eye turned two hundred ters in front of him, those with closed eyes would follow him and crash into the wall.
Zhu Xiaojian gave two beads to An Zheng, who placed the beads behind his back. The footprints on the ground beca ssy, as if they had t with so problem. An Zheng noticed that the first step was a long series of footprints in the middle of the aisle. The footprints split. It was obvious that those people had split up and were walking along the wall.
Seeing this, An Zheng subconsciously stopped. After being silent for a mont, he took a step back, took out a set of clothes from his spatial artifact and threw it forward. His vision blurred for a mont, then his clothes disappeared into thin air. If An Zheng did not notice that the footprints beneath his feet had split into two, they might have already disappeared. Before long, An Zheng heard sizzling sounds. It sounded like soone was dressing, but also like soone’s teeth rubbing against his clothes …
An Zheng followed the footprints and walked to the wall, then leaned his back against it and continued walking. He noticed that the footprints in front of him had beco heavier. It was obvious that those who went there were paying attention to sothing, so their footsteps had beco heavier. There were no traces of blood nor sll of blood. After looking carefully, An Zheng determined that there was one less person in the team.
This kind of atmosphere was the most frightening. One would not be able to sense danger, and did not know when it would co. Perhaps the next second would be beyond redemption. Fortunately, soone had entered from the front. Zhu Xiaojian’s bead functions were very impressive. The magical equipnt made by the DEA all seed to have very strong aim and were very practical.
After walking forward for abouundred ters, An Zheng stopped again. This was because he noticed that the footprints had disappeared. It was not because one or two people were missing, but because all of them had disappeared. An Zheng squatted down to take a closer look. There was no trace of friction between the dust, and no one walked towards him.
Everyone, about ten of them, had disappeared.
An Zheng frowned, he did not dare casually take a step forward. Not long after his clothes had disappeared, he heard the sound of his teeth grinding against his clothes. The sound still echoed in his ears, and the more he thought about it, the more his hair stood on end.
An Zheng’s heart ached for his clothes. He rummaged through the Spatial Tool for a while, and after making a difficult choice between the big waist and his own shoes, he decided to leave the big waist for Du Shoushou and threw the shoes out. This ti the shoes safely landed on the ground and did not disappear in midair. Before An Zheng even had the ti to heave a sigh of relief, the shoes had already disappeared the mont they landed on the ground. It wasn’t long before the sa grinding, grinding voice appeared again.
It was as if sowhere out of sight there waorrible thing waiting to be devoured. As his teeth grinded against the bone, the sounds he imagined gave him goosebumps.
The shoes that fell to the ground were gone, An Zheng thought that soone was chewing on the bottom of his shoes, and subconsciously felt a chill run down his spine.
He raised his head and the bead started to float in the air. Indeed, shallow marks had appeared on the ceiling. Those people had walked out upside down, and there was one less person in the footprints. An Zheng’s body floated up, his head was upside down, and his feet sucked on the roof as he walked forward. However, after just taking a few steps, he suddenly felt the aura around him change, followed by a tearing pain. His vision went black, as if he had fallen into so bottomless abyss.
An Zheng took a deep breath, his body floating in the air without moving. This ti, An Zheng could sll the scent of blood, and it was not too far away from him.
The pearl followed An Zheng down as he fell. An Zheng grabbed it and poured his power into it to float beside him. When the light shone, An Zheng’s face imdiately changed. About ten ters away from him, there were a few other people floating there. They too looked at An Zheng in shock.
These people looked weird. The clothes they were wearing were different from the ones An Zheng had seen before. Just like the clothes of so kind of primitive people in the Da Xi era, there was a strange aura around them that prevented them from floating.
They looked at An Zheng, and An Zheng looked at them.
At this mont, the sound of sothing being eaten could be heard once again. Kacha kacha … This ti, it was not the sound of his teeth rubbing against his clothes or shoes, but the sound of his bones. As soon as the sound entered his ears, it made his scalp tingle. An Zheng moved the bead downwards. After flying for around ten ters, everyone’s expression changed … Sitting cross-legged on the ground was an old man with white hair that was curling like wild grass. His body was pierced through by many thin chains, and the range of his movent did not exceed ten ters. In front of him, there were a lot of bones that had already been nibbled clean.
The most terrifying thing was that the bones he had gnawed on were neatly placed next to him, restoring the structure of a person’s skeleton. There was not even a sliver of flesh on the skeleton. It was so white that it seed to have licked it countless tis.
He held an arm in his hand and quickly ate up all the flesh. Then, his tongue licked across the bone. His tongue was covered with barbs. When it was licked, it emitted a tearing sound …
