Chapter 2551 Lost
The team where Lin Ze was located carefully walked in the passage for about two or three hours. During this period, Xu Hong and old man surnamed Kong, who were in front, discovered more than a dozen large-scale communities of barbarian beasts, and the level was not very high, so it was quite easy for them to pack up.
However, as they gradually deepened, they found that the number of wild beasts in the passage began to increase, and their strength became stronger and stronger.
At the beginning, they encountered some acquired beasts. Now, a considerable number of innate beasts have appeared among the beasts they encountered, and the beasts with the strength of the master can be seen from time to time.
If this situation continues, if nothing unexpected happens, the number of wild beasts in the depths of the passage will definitely be quite large, and their strength will not be very low, so they will definitely be strong enemies.
Another thing is that Zhou Xuan and the others were helpless to find that they seemed to be temporarily lost.
Due to magma corrosion, these underground passages are very chaotic and densely packed with forks everywhere, some are large, some are small, sometimes turning left and sometimes turning right. There is almost no difference between each fork, and the traces left by magma corrosion are almost the same. Even at the beginning, everyone can remember that, over time, the forks are almost the same, which makes Zhou Xuan and the others unable to determine which forks this fork is and which direction they lead.
In the middle, although they thought of various ways, such as leaving a subtle direction mark on the wall of the passage, or leaving some obvious marks on the ground, or applying a little smell of special spiritual materials to mark the road they have walked.
According to common sense, this method is enough to make them remember the path they have walked before and it is impossible to get lost.
However, the problem is that many of the marks they left did not play the role they should have.
I don’t know what happened. A considerable part of the marks they left were maliciously touched by someone. Some even changed the direction directly and left other new marks. At the beginning, Zhou Xuan and the others did not notice something was wrong here. It was not until Lin Ze reminded that they discovered the abnormal phenomenon.
After realizing something was wrong, Zhou Xuan and others immediately realized that someone had set their sights on them, which made them suddenly become highly alert and be on guard, not daring to be careless at all.
Those who do this, or those who have the ability to do this are undoubtedly other sects or those disciples passing by nearby ones. As for why these people do this, I think they either want to cheat them or make up their ideas.
No matter which of these two reasons is, it is not good news for Zhou Xuan and the others now.
You know, they have been drilling in the passage for nearly three or four hours, and they have never stopped in the middle. They will speak out from time to time in battle. Therefore, their condition is not very good now. The marks in the passage have been deleted and modified by disciples of other sects and aristocratic families, making them unable to distinguish the direction and cannot find the way to go. Therefore, they are indeed a bit dangerous now.
Fortunately, they carry enough water and food in their storage bags, so even if they are temporarily trapped, there will be no danger. With the supplies they carry, even if they get lost for two or three days, there will be no big obstacles.
"There is movement ahead!" A voice suddenly came, and the old man surnamed Hu pointed directly at the ground in front and shouted loudly.
"Eight corpses, and there is still residual body temperature on their bodies. Depending on the situation, they should have just died for less than half an hour!" Xu Hong squatted down quickly, checked the corpses on the ground, reached out to touch the corpses, and exclaimed in a low voice to the people behind him.
When everyone heard this, they immediately surrounded him.
Lin Ze did not stop, then flew forward, came to the corpses, and glanced at them.
Judging from the clothing, these people should be disciples from several different small families.
Judging from their clothes, they should have come to the Zhou family, Yu family, and Huang family.
The body on the far right hand had a yellow letter engraved on the clothes on his body, so he should be from the Huang family.
The cause of his death was that he was killed by a sword. He stared at a flying sword in his chest, and was nailed to death on the wall of the passage, pulling his head down, his eyes wide open, his face full of astonishment and disbelief. From the point where he pierced, it was obvious that someone suddenly came out of the ground and killed suddenly.
Even the flying sword that sneaked into his sneak attack was not weak, and had a very strong effect of breaking the aura. It penetrated his protective aura in one fell swoop and nailed him to the cave wall.
The two corpses next to them were torn and hugged each other, one of which was also a disciple of the Huang family, and the other was a disciple of the Yu family dressed in gray.
These two corpses now look a bit fragmented. The corpses are divided into many pieces. It seems that they were attacked by at least ten qi, or were forcibly slashed to death on the spot by spells such as wind blades and ice arrows.
Based on the situation here, I am afraid that after the two of them would tear each other together, the other disciples on both sides would launch fierce attacks on them at the same time, which eventually led to both of them being sacrificed at the same time.
The remaining corpses were not as good as the situation, so Lin Ze guessed that there should be a very short encounter here. The two sides retreated in one battle, and eventually these eight corpses were left behind. Even the property left on the corpses had not had time to be taken away.
Now other disciples of these families have disappeared. I don’t know if they are afraid to retreat because of the cruel battle, or because they are still chasing each other and have no time to pick up the property on these corpses, or are chased by wild beasts, so there is no time to turn around, etc.
There are many similar reasons, Lin Ze thought silently in his heart.
Looking at the cruel scene on the ground, Lin Ze sighed in his heart: There are really dangers everywhere in the passage!!
Since the property on these corpses is still there, and there are no other people around, Xu Hong and the others are naturally not polite and immediately took down all the storage bags on these corpses, poured out the items inside, and divided the matter directly.
These corpses are just people from small families, so the storage bags are very limited, and each team is not assigned many, just one or two magic weapons, plus more than a dozen talisman papers, dozens of spirit stones, and dozens of elixirs.
Lin Ze also obtained two low-level magic weapons, one of which is a bronze bell and the other is a flying sword...
Xu Hong licked his mouth, and was very interested in playing with a magic weapon he got, and his eyes flashed.
"There are eight people lying here. One team is usually ten people, and at most they are just twelve people. Now eight people have died here. The number of people left in the two teams is about twelve. In addition, they should have experienced a bloody battle before, so now there are not much strength left, and the consumption must be very severe. They will definitely not be able to recover in a short period of time. A magic weapon like this is less worth hundreds of spirit stones, so I suggest that we go to the nearby area to find them to see if we can catch them. Everyone, there are not many opportunities to make a fortune like this, but it is much better than the little worthless ragged materials that Old Man Hu had picked up before."
When the old man surnamed Hu heard the sarcasm in Xu Hong's words, his face turned red. Finally, he snorted coldly with dissatisfaction and murmured something, but in the end he did not directly refute it. He just put away the magic weapon and other spiritual materials he had assigned and walked aside and stopped talking.
However, looking at his expression, he was obviously a little moved by Xu Hong's proposal.
Why did he come here to take risks this time? It’s not for money. Now that he has such a thing as getting a bargain, he certainly doesn’t want to miss it.
Xu Yun looked at the faces of the people carefully, thought about it carefully, and finally nodded in agreement. He spoke for the first time: "Brother Xu's suggestion is good. Now is indeed the best time to pursue. As long as we chase those people, with our strength, it is not a problem to win them down. In addition, aren't we lost? Then after we find them, we can know where we are now. Senior Sister Zhou, what do you think?"
He turned to Zhou Xuan and asked.
"Okay."
Zhou Xuan agreed very directly.
"Lin Ze, what do you think?" Zhou Xuan turned around and looked at Lin Ze beside her.
"I have no objection, but it is not that easy to find them." Lin Ze did not object, but just emphasized in advance.
The situation in this channel is complicated, and now some artificial factors are added to them, which makes them unable to distinguish the direction inside. Even if they want to chase after them, they don’t know where these remaining disciples of the aristocratic families are going, so they can’t find them at all.
Xu Hong said to follow, according to Lin Ze's opinion, at most, he could only turn around in the passage. As for those who wanted to encounter these teams of half-defeated disciples of aristocratic families, his surname might be very low.
Maybe if one of them is not good at running well, he will encounter masters from other sects. If he really encounters them, they will inevitably have a fierce battle.
Zhou Xuan also heard the perfunctory in Lin Ze's words. She wrinkled her little nose, as if she was very dissatisfied with Lin Ze's perfunctory.
