Hua County Corpse Cave-07

Jiang Quechen stopped suddenly.

"what happened?"

Jiang Quechen glanced in a certain direction, and said hesitantly, "The puppet I sent out has been cut off from me."

The faces of the others couldn't help becoming serious.

After all, in this corpse cave, if there is an external force that cuts off the connection between the puppet bird and its master, it will only be an enemy, without any other guesses.

"I remember that your puppet bird can feed back images, so what was the last image it sent back before it was cut off?"

As the person in charge of this operation, Jiang Buhuan first signaled the others to calm down, and then asked Jiang Quechen.

The girl also seemed very puzzled by this question: "Actually, the puppet bird didn't see anything. It just fell from the sky suddenly, and then disconnected from me."

"So... I actually doubt whether it is because the distance is too far and the spiritual power is not well conveyed, which leads to the failure of the puppet bird. Or it is because the humidity in this layer is too high, which speeds up the damage to the puppet bird. Corrosion of internal parts caused some damage to the puppet bird."

Jiang Quechen guessed.

However, Jiang Buhuan shook his head.

"No." He said in a deep voice, "This is the largest and highest-level ghost breeding ground that can be found in history, and every little detail needs to be paid attention to."

"That's it." After thinking for a while, Jiang Buhuan said, "Xiao Jiang, send more puppets over there to have a look, and everyone should be on guard."

"We've been wandering aimlessly on this floor for a long enough time, maybe the turning point to solve the problem is coming."

Jiang Quechen said "Yes" and did as he said.

The sound of large wings vibrating can be heard in the ears, and the black flocks pass by overhead, densely packed like a large group of shadows moving overhead.

Gu Xi lazily leaned against the stone wall beside him, touched it casually, and his hands were covered with water.

He frowned quietly.

The humidity level of this layer is already a little too much.

It's dark, humid, and hot, even if it's a place to raise ghosts... Anyway, Gu Qi can't think of any ghosts who would like such an environment.

And it's even more ridiculous as a place to raise corpses. Wouldn't corpses in this environment accelerate decay and deterioration?

He stared at his wet fingers, lost in thought.

The structure of this ghost breeding ground is indeed worthy of its S+ rating. Even a big ghost with the ability to play with time like Buhuagu is only worthy of being the gatekeeper of the fifth floor at the top.

Then the fourth floor should be more vicious and tricky, not as harmless as it is now, just to kill time.

Gu Xi started to be in a daze.

Unless this is exactly what the ghosts and gatekeepers on the fourth floor need, they must accumulate for a certain period of time before they can achieve their expectations.

The special environment, enough time... just a little bit, Gu Xi felt that he could grasp the essence and truth of this layer.

What is this layer...

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Jiang Quechen's exclamation.

"Something is coming this way!" The girl's voice is urgent, "It's a group of corpses, but there seems to be something growing on their body? Is it glowing? It looks strange..."

After a while, Jiang Quechen's voice raised another eight degrees: "That's...a mushroom! The mushroom is [eating] and manipulating the corpse!"

Gu Qi suddenly reacted.

"Put up your protective shields!" He snapped, "Stay away from those mushrooms, the spores they emit will parasitize the human body!"

Because the yin energy in this underground space is not strong, after entering, the group of people removed the protective shield of spiritual power around them - it can save a little bit, and maintaining the protective shield for a long time is also very laborious of one thing.

Who would have thought that it was precisely because of this that those mushrooms would be given a chance.

In other words, it's not an opportunity to take advantage of, but these plants have too much wisdom that they shouldn't have, and they have even controlled people's hearts to such an extent.

Although this young Gu Xi was really cold and hard to get along with, but when he issued the order like this, no one delayed, and immediately followed his request.

Therefore, Gu Qi, who had nothing to support him, looked the most conspicuous amidst the spiritual power cover.

Yan Chaosheng didn't hold back: "The parasitism of spores is no better than Yin Qi, you are not afraid of the erosion of Yin Qi, but the parasitism of spores is not the same at all?"

He generously invited: "Do you want to come inside my protective cover this time?"

Gu Xi turned his head to look at him, his originally cold expression flickered, revealing a sunny and nice smile.

"It's okay," he said, "it's okay."

"Hey, Jiang Buchang." Gu Xi called out.

Jiang Buhuan stood at attention almost subconsciously, and even used the honorific: "What do you mean?"

"Go and find the way to the next floor."

He held his own guns and walked towards the direction pointed by Jiang Quechen's puppet without looking back.

"I'll help you cut off the back."

"How can I leave you alone!" Jiang Quechen exclaimed, she couldn't accept such a thing due to emotion and reason.

After all, no one present understood the situation of those corpses better than her. She didn't think that it was something that could be resisted by one person, it was purely sent to death.

Even that Gu Xi...

"Why don't I stay and help you?" Jiang Quechen said anxiously and quickly.

"It's not necessary." Gu Qi refused.

"But!"

Jiang Quechen wanted to argue, but Jiang Buhuan grabbed his arm and walked in the opposite direction to Gu Xi.

"Let's go." Jiang Buhuan said in a deep voice, "Do what we should do."

He glanced back at Gu Qi's receding figure: "Find out what we are here for, Jiang Quechen. Now is not something that should be dictated by emotions, or decided on impulse when."

Jiang Quechen was stunned, lowered his eyes, but no longer resisted the behavior of following Jiang Buchang: "Yes, I understand....I'm sorry, I lost my composure earlier."

She held back, but still didn't hold back: "Is there really no problem?"

As the owner of the puppet bird, Jiang Quechen could clearly see what kind of enemies Gu Qi was about to face. ——It was a much scarier and huge group of corpses than the zombies encountered on the fifth floor above the ground, and the mushrooms and spores parasitic on it made people feel extremely ominous.

Just recalling the appearance of those corpses that the puppet bird saw, Jiang Quechen couldn't help but feel palpitations.

"There will be no problem." Jiang Buhuan said, "That's Gu Qi."

This sentence seemed to have some strange magic power, which made Jiang Quechen calm down slowly, and the worried expressions no longer hung on the faces of the others.

Yan Chaosheng looked at them, and a question mark slowly popped up in his heart.

Does Gu Xi really have such ability and charm?

Just a name can make people feel at ease even in such a dangerous situation?

This is too illusory...and ridiculous.

Moreover, Gu Xi in his youth would have such a personality, which is far from him in the future.How can this make Yan Chao not curious.

After all, they looked exactly like two people.

So Yan Chaosheng tentatively asked Jiang Buhuan, the only person present who had the deepest relationship with Gu Xi and also knew the most: "When Gu Tianshi was young, he felt very different from the one I know now."

Hearing the words, Jiang Buhuan seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly became a little melancholy.

"Yes," he said, "...it is, very different."

They walked in a direction completely opposite to Gu Qi's, paying attention to the surrounding environment, avoiding contact with those mushrooms, and at the same time looking for a possible way to the next floor.Jiang Buhuan seemed to have opened up the chatterbox, or maybe it was this young Gu Xi who reminded him of too many things from the past, so he couldn't help but want to talk to others.

"As for me, I was in the same class as that guy." Jiang Buhuan said, "So I have more contact with him than you, or even many people."

"I know what you want to ask, yes, Gu Qi used to be like this."

"Although it is true that he has a bad temper, is arrogant, has no one in his eyes, and speaks so viciously that people wish he could have a concussion with a sack on his back."

"However, even so, you can't help looking up at him and chasing him. Even if you can't keep up with his footsteps, you will feel at ease just standing behind him."

"He's so powerful."

"And Mu Qiang has always been the essence of living things."

Jiang Buhuan laughed dryly: "Whether it's the association or the government, they all push Gu Xi to the top. This is normal, after all, after the natural disasters of ghosts, in this dark place where human beings no longer have the upper hand. In this era, it is necessary to establish such an existence that stands at the top."

"This existence will make everyone feel at ease when they see him, and believe that as long as they survive this period of time, everything will get better. —— Gu Qi is strong enough, and enough to bear such a burden and glory."

"It's just..."

"It's us who need him, not he who needs us. So no matter how reckless Gu Qi is, I don't think it's an exaggeration."

"We do, owe him a lot."

Jiang Buhuan pursed his lips.

Some words, some things, have been hidden in the long river of time, it is the past that has been completely buried.No one wants those things to be revealed, and all those who know the inside are keeping it secret.

but.

Jiang Buhuan thought, he probably will never forget in this life, earlier... Before Gu Xi showed such strength and majesty, no one was willing to approach him except feasting No one wants to know him.

At that time, the teenager was feared, excluded, and disgusted by all his teachers and classmates, questioning why it existed, cursed and "blessed" him with resentment, why didn't he die.

That's why the old people in the association are suspicious, thinking and fearing that Gu Qi will become an enemy all the time.

Probably because...

They also know that they haven't done anything good back then.

Jiang Quechen had been manipulating the puppet all the time, and suddenly exclaimed as he walked, "Ah!"

She hurriedly said: "The puppet bird saw a golden door in front of it. There are many strange patterns on the door, and there are many mushrooms growing beside it—so many that it almost completely covers the door."

Jiang Buhuan tugged at the collar of his clothes, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Isn't this very good? It's better than wandering around like a headless chicken all the time."

"Let's go, speed up! Don't talk about helping Gu Qi, but don't hold back!"

Yan Chaosheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

He thought for a while, and finally a small wisp of yin energy escaped from his fingertips, silently chasing after the direction Gu Xi left.

This young Gu Xi was quite cute, so it doesn't hurt to just follow along.

What's more, if Gu Qi fails here, although he will applaud as an opponent, he will feel regretful in the end... won't he?

****

Gu Xi stepped on the mushrooms that were crushed all over the ground and their branches were gradually protruding, and walked forward following the guidance of the puppet that Jiang Quechen had left for him.

As he advanced, the stone walls on both sides gradually shrank, and the path under his feet gradually narrowed, until it finally became a narrow gap that only one person could walk through.

In contrast, more and more mushrooms appeared on both sides of the road.It grows lush and green, shining a bright blue light in the dark environment.

If you don't consider what their essence is, this is a very quiet and beautiful scene.

There was a very dull sound accompanied by vibrations from a distance, "Boom", "Boom", every beat was like a drum beating, shaking people's hearts and mind.

But Gu Qi not only didn't feel afraid, he even put on a strange smile with a hint of madness in it.

The two sides eventually met on a narrow road.

Gu Qi suddenly couldn't laugh anymore, he showed an extremely disgusted and disgusted expression almost instantly.

"No one told me it's such an ugly thing." The boy frowned tightly, "Really, let's get rid of it quickly..."

He paused, but then laughed abruptly.

"Ah, but I have no position to say anything about you."

The young man turned his wrist.

A dark, ink-like liquid flowed down from his body, and soon gathered on the ground to form a small puddle, and began to spread and expand rapidly.

Gu Xi raised his eyes and took in those ugly corpses parasitized by spores, his mood was surprisingly calm.

Ok……

It's great that Ale is not here.

"After all, I exist..."

"It's even uglier than you guys."
