Eunuch's professionalism

The bat rushed over very fast, Shao Huachi hugged Fu Chen tightly with one hand, let him close to him to prevent the attack of the bat, and said in a serious tone, "Don't move!"

This process was accompanied by heart-pounding tinnitus. The bat group was divided into two forked roads by torches. Several bats were burned and fell to the ground. There was the sound of swords waving behind them, and several soldiers were shot by them. He fell to the ground, very embarrassed.

Seeing Shao Huachi standing in front of him, Fu Chen didn't expect Shao Huachi to be so protective of his subordinates, but his daze was only for a moment, and he quickly shouted at the defeated soldiers behind him: "Don't be nervous, stand up, they are not as good as you imagined!" It's so scary, it can't kill anyone, stay in place as much as possible, don't move around, light the torches! Everyone light the torches as soon as possible!"

If there is no attack, there are other ways, but now that they have been disturbed, the attack with fire will be faster. These creatures belonging to the night are very afraid of fire.

Hearing Fu Chen's roar, the others seemed to have a direction. If they didn't roar, these people would not be able to hear his voice under the interference of the bat's sound waves. The loss of soldiers and generals.

Few people in the Central Plains have seen bats. Human instinct is to be afraid of unknown creatures. Of course, they will panic. There will be examples of being too flustered in your heart, and you could get through it in peace, but something happened instead.

After the first round of attack, they circled in the air and rushed over again. Shao Huachi held the torch and swung the attack precisely in the direction the bats came from.

With Shao Huachi blocking the front as the primary target, gradually, more people stood up, and these soldiers calmed down. There were fewer and fewer bats, and more and more torches.

When more than half of the bats were lost, they stopped attacking and suddenly flew towards the huge cave in groups.

"It...they?" Next to Fu Chen was Xiao Mu who brought him the bath water before, and he stared dumbfounded at the direction the bat left.

"It's impossible for bats to live in a closed space all the time, so there must be an exit here." When Fu Chen first came in, he found that the air here is circulated, and there is no suffocation feeling like ordinary caves, and these bats do not. They may have been living below, they have their own exits, the fire just now has made them afraid, so they will not come back in a short time.

Fu Chen said what was in his heart, but Xiao Mu next to him looked surprised, "How do you know so much?"

"I'm a businessman, and I've been traveling all the time. If I hear a lot, I'll know it." Fu Chen was still calm, but Shao Huachi's face didn't show the slightest surprise, as if Fu Chen knew these things for granted.

But Xiaomu didn't believe it, the businessman is so powerful, why not turn the world upside down.

Shao Huachi didn't seem to have heard their conversation, so he took a few random glances by the firelight, and those few glances were to check Fu Chen's body, there was no bite, it was fine.

He looked at Fu Chen's hand again, it was still bandaged there, it was something that Fu Chen messed with before entering the cave, even if he did it casually, it was still very orderly, there is a kind of person no matter how he changes, There are always clues in the details of life, even if these clues add up, they can't prove anything.

In the team, only one soldier was bitten particularly badly. Shao Huachi asked the other soldiers to apply medicine to that man, and he did not need to follow after resting in place.

In the bat swarm just now, only one person was lost, which was already unexpected.

"Up, up!" A soldier shone with a torch on the rock wall above their heads, startled, and shouted.

Shao Huachi and Fu Chen looked up, it was a skeleton's head, the black hole looked down, it was buried in the rock above the head, and it was unknown when it was buried.

This is called a "path guide", and the person who made the cave is warning people who come here not to go in.

Generally, where there are guides, there are either treasures or cemeteries, or both.

Fu Chen thought of the rhinoceros on the pillar outside the door, and thought of the eagle's eyes, and he seemed to be able to connect it, the relationship between the Milai Kingdom and the Zhu people.

A long time ago, after the massacre of the Zhu people, they disappeared. In fact, there are still some people who have not disappeared, but their traces can no longer be found in the history books. Now Fu Chen knows why Li Biantian found so many rhinoceros , and know how to raise rhinoceros.

The last group of people from the Ju tribe migrated here from the tropical rainforest. They established their country on this Silk Road in anonymity. In fact, this is not noticeable, because the trade here is frequent, and as long as there are more people, a road will be formed. Similar to The country or city of the transit station, which can provide travelers with rest, drinking water, and accommodation, will emerge as the times require during the evolution of history.

It was at this exact moment that the former Mirai Kingdom appeared.

But in fact, this is not Mi Lai country at all, it was established by the Clan people here, and it is not far from the Halberd country, so it is not surprising that Li Biantian can get the rhinoceros sparrow and the pill that represents the breath of the Clan people, but Li Huang seems to be completely unaware of the inextricable relationship between Mi Lai Kingdom and the Zhu people.

It is also embarrassing that the people of the Zhu clan who were massacred in the legend, escaped from death and came to this Hushi Desert, and finally disappeared completely.

Fu Chen thought of the treasure map of the Zhu clan that Li Huang had kept all along, and had been looking for more Zhu clan members for so many years, but maybe Li Biantian made a mistake at the beginning.

He sent people to the tropical rain forest area, which is the former site of the Zhu tribe, and he never thought of coming to Mi Lai country to look for it.

Maybe the so-called treasure map is not in the south, but the Hushi Desert!

Right under his feet!

Then, in the light of the fire, they showed the way behind them. There was a platform for 22 of them to stand on where they came in. Except for the circular platform, there was no way, only a hollow like a cliff, and the bottom was dark. They couldn't see anything. If Fu Chen hadn't reminded them just now, they would have stepped on the ground and fell because they were too flustered. If they fell like this, how could they die?

A soldier who was about to fall just now looked at Fu Chen gratefully. Fu Chen's decisive words and actions before were worthy of their respect.

Shao Huachi glanced at Fu Chen, then calmly looked away, walked to the only way out, and lit the torch there, it turned out to be a plank road.

Plank roads generally appear on the edge of cliffs, but here is a huge cave, which was buried below before. No one knows where it was before the desert. It is very possible that there is such an underground cave and I don’t know how many years ago. It is related to the movement of the continental plate, but Fu Chen probably knows the reason, but the others are amazed at this place, and think of it as the gods and Buddhas.

This plank road is too narrow, and only one person can walk sideways. If they want to walk, they can't hold the torch at the same time. It is lucky to get out of the plank road safely, which means that they must give up the torch and walk alone. .A torch could illuminate very little area in total darkness, and they could see the cliff below, but not beyond.

So instead of adapting to the light, it is better to adapt to the darkness, Fu Chen approached Shao Huachi who was thinking.

Shao Huachi usually doesn't let people approach him so close, so when Fu Chen approached him all of a sudden, his first reaction was to attack. When he found out that it was Fu Chen, he instantly withdrew his hand gesture, and twisted the direction of his hand, Put it on both arms, with a look on your face that you are looking for something, "Hey, did you think of something?"

Fu Chen told Shao Huachi his thoughts, Shao Huachi pondered for a while, and then said to the 19 people: "Turn out the torches, let's go one by one, adapt to the light of the fluorescent stone as much as possible, it will be easier for us to go in."

Under Shao Huachi's order, the torch was extinguished, and the cave instantly became dark again.

"I'm in front of you." Shao Huachi yanked Fu Chen who was about to go up. At this time, soldiers began to walk cautiously one by one against the rock wall on the plank road, for fear of stepping on the air.

For this plank road with a turning point, the danger ahead will naturally be relatively more.

"Lord Rui, it should be suitable for me to come first..." It's best for you to stay where you are and wait for us like that wounded soldier.

"What is it suitable for? This king has never let the soldiers under him take risks and enjoy the blessings himself."

In the darkness, Fu Chen couldn't see Shao Huachi's expression, but he could feel the other party's inexplicable emotion in his eyes. Just as he was about to grasp some illusory feeling, Shao Huachi stepped carefully on the plank road in the dark , the soldiers in front are progressing very slowly.

Fu Chen also stepped up together, and a few soldiers behind him also came up. He moved step by step against the cliff wall, and the road under their feet tended to become narrower and narrower.

Darkness and the unknown are the most terrifying enemies.

"If you feel danger, grab me." A man's hoarse voice came from Fu Chen's ear, with a calming magic power, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Fu Chen almost sprained his leg, because it was really not suitable to say this to him, if Mrs. Tian was here at this time, then it would be suitable.

However, Fu Chen didn't have time to correct the mistakes of his former master's words, so he concentrated on every next step.

As their eyes adapted to the darkness, they could gradually see the general situation in the cave, and it turned out that this plank road led down.

The slope is getting more and more severe, almost to the bottom, everyone's heart seems to return to its original position, and finally passed!

One by one stepped on the flat ground to feel at ease. When Shao Huachi went down, he seemed to have stepped on something. When he looked closely, it was a half skeleton. Both of them felt chilly in their hearts. There were already two along the way. The previous one was on the top of the head, and the current one It's underground, and it's not known whether they broke in by mistake or died inside.

"On him..." Shao Huachi was about to leave when he fixed his eyes on the skeleton, which was wearing a set of broken armor.

Shao Huachi squatted down, looked at this set of armor that could barely see its original color, studied it over and over for a while, and said in a deep voice, "They are soldiers of our Jin country, but they are soldiers from the state of Jin before my father succeeded to the throne, when my grandfather led the army. A soldier's armor." Who killed them?

During the period of Jin Taizu, how many years have passed?

Isn't it too weird that the corpses of soldiers from the Jin state would appear in this place?

"This king must thoroughly investigate this matter. He is a soldier of our state of Jin, so he cannot die for no reason!" When Shao Huachi said it, there was an aura of dominance in the world, and it was an extremely inspiring tone.

These words have reached the hearts of the soldiers. Which soldier has no idea of ​​serving the motherland, but this kind of thinking is particularly vulnerable in this era of "cannibalism". The premise of these is to have enough food.

But it doesn't mean that they don't have such thoughts. They are from the state of Jin, so they naturally have the instinct of loyalty and patriotism, even better than modern people.

Sure enough, after Fu Chen saw those soldiers saying this in Shaohuachi, their eyes and expressions became more solemn and noble.

The concept of the country, Fu Chen instilled in the young Shao Huachi five years ago. At that time, he was still Shao Huachi's confidant, busy following his master every day. During the conversation with Shao Huachi, A Furong was mentioned, "Your Highness, Patriotic should be done by every Jin country citizen.”

"What is patriotism?"

"In everyone's mind, as long as I think that I am a member of this country, I must maintain its territorial integrity, not be invaded by foreign enemies, not be insulted by others, and be united. Anyone who violates our Jin country will be punished even if it is far away."

This is an old saying, but it has not appeared in this era.

Fu Chen still remembered that Shao Huachi's eyes lit up when he heard the last sentence.

Back then, Shao Huachi deeply remembered the concept of the people and the monarch, and formed the idea of ​​national honor. Unexpectedly, five years later, Shao Huachi used his own performance to attract so many people to play for him.

This is both talent and charm, a talent that can arouse other people's emotions and make people willing to work for him.

in case……

Fu Chen realized that he was thinking something he shouldn't be thinking at the moment, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Why bother to fantasize about something unrealistic, the moment is what matters.

Looking at Fu Chen's back as he walked away, Shao Huachi's eyes seemed to spread a cobweb of heaven and earth, waiting calmly.

After getting off the plank road and coming to the shore, a relatively large water pool appeared in front of him. This water pool was five to six times larger than what he saw in the underground dungeon of the Wu Yang Clan before, and the color could not be seen clearly in the dark, but Fu Chen could not see it. The intuition is that it is black, just like the time in the water prison. Judging from the previous connection, these two places are all from the hands of the same mechanism master.

"Don't go into the water yet, there seems to be something on the water." Fu Chen said, because of his calm attitude towards the bat swarm, Fu Chen's words already have a certain prestige in this small team, which has nothing to do with whether he is a businessman or not. Everyone likes to get along with someone who has real skills in times of crisis.

Indeed, there seemed to be something floating on the huge pool.

Taking a closer look, it was a coffin, with a total of seven mouths, each of which was fixed on the calm water surface, with only a small half of the coffin exposed.

On the other side of the pool is another piece of land.

Fu Chen suddenly cut the sackcloth on his body, and just as he was about to stand up, he met Shao Huachi's eyes. He seemed to be able to feel the other's breath in the dark. The two were too close. I don't know when Shao Huachi looked like a ghost. Seemingly appearing behind him, Fu Chen hurriedly leaned back in shock, but Shao Huachi didn't seem to notice at all, he just asked noncommittally: "What are you cutting clothes for?"

"I've seen this water before when I was doing business. It's very weird and can corrode everything."

As Fu Chen said, he put down his cut clothes, and it really looked like the mastiff. It first floated on the water, and then black blisters appeared around it, which quickly swallowed the piece of cloth.

It wasn't sunk, nor was it soaked, but it was corroded, and one could vaguely smell the terrible scorching smell, and those large and small blisters swallowed the cloth.

Shao Huachi asked a few soldiers to experiment again. The same thing happened with weapons and luggage. No matter how big the object was or how hard the weapon was, they could not escape the fate of being corroded.

Upon discovering this, everyone's hearts were cast a shadow.

How can such a river pass?

After discussing with each other, the nineteen soldiers planned to use the distance of the seven coffins to jump in stages and then go ashore together.

The positions of the seven coffins on the water pool just formed a road leading to the opposite view.

This was a good idea. Five soldiers who volunteered to go forward came out. Shao Huachi looked at them and said for a while, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, my lord." The soldiers were all ready to sacrifice. At the critical moment, it is impossible to put the dignified lord Rui in danger. Since they were selected as personal soldiers, they have entered the most dangerous adventure team, because Its treatment is the best, and you have to give if you want to get it, and that's their mission.

Fu Chen looked around, if it was a mechanism corresponding to the water prison at that time, there might also be the arrow wall here.

Where?Where would that thing appear?

Fu Chen stared at the seven coffins again. He felt that these coffins were different from ordinary ones, and he couldn't tell the difference at once.

There are too many questions, and I can't find a clue at once.

Because Fu Chen reminded in advance that almost all the soldiers stood in place, and no one ran around casually, worrying about moving some mechanism.

Five people stepped on the coffin respectively. The first coffin only swayed slightly, but it still floated stably on the water.

No problem, the person in the lead gestured, and the others followed.

Fu Chen watched them step on the coffins, and those coffins sank into the water, almost parallel to the water surface.

The magnitude of the subsidence was not right. Calculated based on the density of the water, the density and weight of the coffin, plus the weight of an adult man, it would not be possible to sink so badly.

Fu Chen suddenly figured out something, but he didn't realize that Shao Huachi, who had been observing him, also noticed his strangeness. Fu Chen's weirdness meant that there was a trap in this coffin.He suddenly looked at the soldiers who were about to reach the other side. No matter how big the pool was, they were Lianjiazi after all. It was not difficult to jump forward on the coffin, so the speed was relatively fast.

"No, stop, don't go any further!" Fu Chen hasn't fully figured it out yet, but the purpose of these coffins is too obvious, as if people pass through them to the other side, how could there be such an obvious The shortcut, since it is too obvious, must be a fraud, Fu Chen shouted to the five soldiers.

By the way, the placement, the extra weight, and the overlapping shadows!It was two coffins overlapping each other, the big coffin covered the small coffin, there were a total of fourteen coffins, that's why they were so heavy!

Fourteen corresponds to the fourteen doors in the water prison, which is a chain hole.

I remember at that time, behind the prison door, there were mastiffs, organs, water pools...

And at that time, just to be on the safe side, he didn't study other places in the water prison. He didn't put himself in danger, so he had nothing to do to find trouble for himself to study other people's organs. Since the gophers came at that time, why didn't he save time and effort? Better to just leave.

I just didn't expect that there would be a corresponding cave here.

When no one noticed, a pair of eyes in the dark quietly watched the scene on the shore, and then disappeared into the darkness.

It was too late when Fu Chen said that, the guard at the head of the row had already jumped from the sixth gate to the seventh gate. The moment he jumped up, the coffin, which looked extremely strong, seemed to be made of paper, and instantly turned into a coffin. The powder collapsed.

It was sprinkled on the pool, and the soldiers on it fell into the pool. They jumped into the coffin very carefully all the way, precisely because they knew that the pool was very scary, so they didn't dare to take it lightly.

The soldier's wailing rang out on the shore, and he kept thrashing and struggling in the black water pool. It was the last light of life, and even after he only shouted "Help...", he was completely silent.

And the other four soldiers couldn't save him at all.

The moment the seventh coffin turned into powder, a chain reaction also occurred in the other six coffins, and they collapsed instantly, and the people on it fell onto the pool almost at the same time.

Of the seven coffins, the other six are real, and only the seventh is a fake trap, and as long as the seventh is moved, the other six will also have problems.

People tend to relax their vigilance when they are about to reach the finish line, just like these five people, the faster they got to the back, they couldn't stop in time when Fu Chen called out.

Such a big movement scared everyone on the shore, but it was impossible to save people at this time, as long as they passed by, they would be the ones who died.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the flesh of these five people could be seen corroded, and an unpleasant smell of burning came from the air.

It was that Fu Chen had only been with them for a few days, and the people who didn't have much contact with each other felt heartbroken. They were still fresh people just now, not to mention the other soldiers who had been advancing and retreating together. At this time, they couldn't bear to see this scene again.

Those people who were alive and well just now have become a skeleton, floating on the surface of the water, and you can still see the remaining flesh on the skeleton.

Cracks appeared on Shao Huachi's calm face, and he almost instinctively wanted to rush over, but was hugged tightly by Xiao Mu and other cronies beside him, preventing Shao Huachi from taking a step closer to the pool.Each of his soldiers has been carefully cultivated by him in the past five years. In order not to repeat the mistakes of Qing Ran and them five years ago, he did all of them by himself. How could he not feel it, these are all his soldiers!

Shao Huachi's eyes widened in pain, his whole body trembled, and he blamed himself extremely.Although this is an adventurous team, they are all people who are relatively close to Shao Huachi, and he firmly restrained this emotion.

The other soldiers beside him were also in tears.

Depressed and dull, it almost made everyone breathless.

Fu Chen was the first to notice something strange, he smelled a smell of sawdust.

This taste! ?

It was flying in the air after the coffin was turned into powder just now, and now it spread to the shore.

"Cover your mouth and nose, don't smell it!" But if you don't smell it, you will suffocate to death. This place is so big, there is no place to hide.

The smell came too imperceptibly, when Fu Chen fell, the people around him fell one after another.

While Fu Chen was speaking, Shao Huachi had already recovered his sanity. Before he passed out, he almost exhausted all his strength and rushed to Fu Chen's side, holding Fu Chen's hand tightly, "Hold on to me, save my life, I still want to stay looking at you."

This is Shao Huachi's promise, that as long as he is here, he will not let him die.

Even when he was in a coma, he would not let go.

It's been a while since they met. Fu Chen never laughed from the bottom of his heart, but now he does.

This smile is not so pure...

Without all that, I really want to get to know you again. I never doubted my vision back then.

But in this world, there is no if...

I'm still lying to you until now, if you knew my true identity, would you still be so confiding?

I have done so many things, good and bad, and I have never regretted it, but I have always had one thing that I regret the most, that is, I got to know you in a momentary deviation, which led to the current dilemma.

You've done nothing wrong, but I can't sit still, I can't die, I want to live, and I'll pay anything for it.

People like me may go to hell after death.

Fu Chen fainted with a smile, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in that smile.

In fact, he was far weaker than Shao Huachi and others. He was injured, took traditional Chinese medicine and fought, and studied the carved wall without sleep. He has survived until now entirely by willpower.

When they realized that there was something wrong with the smell, most people, including Fu Chen himself, were tricked.

This mechanism is interlocking, who would realize that the powder after the coffin is crushed will have problems.

Shao Huachi found that Fu Chen had passed out completely. He held the hand on Fu Chen's arm, slowly slid down, and inserted it between Fu Chen's ten fingers, changing it into a clasped ten fingers, tightening it little by little.

There was a slight smile on the cold face before he completely fainted.
