MTL - When Jianxiu Penetrates Into the Infinite Stream-Chapter 86
"This is a relic of our ancestors."
His voice was very soft, barely audible in the loud noise of the waterfall slapping against the rocks, but Xie Liuyi could still hear it clearly.
Placing at her feet was a dirty and old mountaineering bag whose original color could not be seen clearly. He reached into it with a clear hand, and took out the things that were eroded by water vapor but lost their true colors.
A broken compass, a rusted flashlight, a first aid kit, a gas mask, and a brown leather notebook.
Place these things at her feet in a row, Yugui put his hand in again, just got the things into the bag mouth, he lowered his head and swept the things in his hand, and suddenly moved at a faster speed It tucked back into the bag and closed the mountaineering bag.
"The rest are some specimens, nothing to see." He said lightly, and put the mountaineering bag away.
Xie Liuyi kept staring at him as he took things out of his bag. Seeing how he took them out and stuffed them back, he could guess what the specimens were.
She squatted down, picked up the gas mask and looked at it, the lens on it had been shattered, and it seemed that the crack was formed by the impact of a hard object. After the lens is broken, the mask loses its anti-virus effect.
Xie Liuyi grabbed Yan Yugui's wrist and put his fingers on his pulse.
"The miasma has little effect on me, as long as I leave the jungle, the poisoning state will disappear, don't worry." Yan Yugui's indifferent face showed a rare tenderness.
Xie Liuyi didn't listen to him, and felt the pulsation under his fingers, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. Yan Yugui's pulse is a bit strange, sometimes the blood is insufficient, and sometimes the blood is hot. To sum it up: his blood has a mind of its own.
In this case, in addition to poisoning, it can only be affected by the inheritance of blood. Xie Liuyi was interested in going into the spiritual power inspection, but thinking of the behavior of Yan Yugui's power that penetrated into her skin and immediately retracted it last night, she finally gave up the idea.
Yugui knew she didn't like it, so she didn't check her body easily. In return, she should also respect the privacy of Yan Yugui.
Letting go of his wrist, she picked up the brown leather notebook covertly, "Where's the corpse?"
"Buried," Yan Yugui sat down, with the other hand holding the wrist released by Xie Liuyi, and unconsciously rubbing it twice, "There are only bones left, the cause of death and the time of death cannot be inferred. There's nothing on the clothes."
"Oh." Xie Liuyi opened the notebook in his hand.
Because it has been placed in the humid air for a long time, the book will be wrinkled and wrinkled, and most of the paper will stick together. She can only open the cover first.
The title page features a portrait of a woman.
Xie Liuyi recognized at a glance that she was one of the sister flowers of the village chief's family, but she was not sure which one it was. The painter has excellent skills and draws the woman's face to life. There was a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows, her eyes were as bright as spring water, and she looked out of the painting shyly and timidly.
This portrait is so vivid that people can see at the moment that she is in love with the person who painted it.
The same is true for the person who paints. Every stroke contains a lot of love and sweetness.
A fresh breath of grass and trees approached, she looked up from the painting, and what caught her eye was the spring color exposed between Yan Yugui's open neckline.
The contrast between light and dark made Mi Yan dizzy.
It was only very soon, the breath that enveloped her went away, and she sat back home, and the notes in her hand were also taken away.
"It's the one who danced yesterday."
The deep voice brought her back to reality, Yan Yugui looked down at the painting, her slender fingers tapped on the yellowed paper, her skin becoming more like jade.
Xie Liuyi stood up suddenly, turned around and walked a few steps towards the edge of the cliff. The rapids beat on the rocks, the water splashed like pearls, and the mountain wind blew from afar, taking the heat away from her face.
In a place where she couldn't see, Yan Yugui lowered his head, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Xie Liuyi reflected for a while, she must have been naive for too long, so she couldn't stand even this little scene, it really shouldn't be. After silently reciting the Heart Clearing Mantra several times to remove the distracting thoughts in her heart, she walked back as if nothing had happened.
"How do you know?" she asked without end.
Yugui was carefully separating the sticking papers, and when he heard the words, his subordinates paused for a moment, "Once you have loved someone, you can no longer hold others in your eyes."
He didn't look up, as if he was just answering Xie Liuyi's question.
The girl in the painting loves the person who paints, so it can't be the girl who greeted Yan Yugui yesterday, only the dancing girl with a sad face.
The dancing girls don’t look like they are in her 20s, so the last batch of expedition members shouldn’t be very old.
However, if the painter and the girl are in love with each other, why did he take the risk and risk his life to leave?
She wanted to ask the question, but was dazzled by the skin exposed between his open collars, so she couldn't help looking away, "Button up."
"Sorry, it was hot in the woods just now." Yan Yugui naturally buttoned the top button.
Xie Liuyi turned his eyes back and asked, "Why did he leave?"
"Wait." He frowned and flipped through the notebook, turning the pages very slowly because of the sticking paper.
Xie Liuyi took a probe and glanced at it. The words on the notebook were written in pencil, but they were not dazzled by the moisture, but most of them were in English, with hand-painted insect pictures attached. She only looked at Looking back at a glance.
It took me a long time to read this notebook.
"The owner of the note is Edwin, the Chinese name is Zeng Zhaoyun, and he is an entomologist." Yan Yugui put the notebook aside and began to tell Xie Liuyi what was recorded in it, "His English is close to his native language level. , Chinese is slightly worse than English, I guess, he should be a mixed race."
"He has always been interested in Gu worms and wanted to explore the truth of the Gu technique. He heard a legend that there was a tribe that was good at storing Gu in this dense forest, so he brought two assistants here. Check here."
The clear fingers tapped on the ground unconsciously, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "The corpse in the dense forest is a woman from the skeletal characteristics, it should be the two assistants of the owner of the note. One. I found no other bodies in the woods, and the other two may still be alive."
Xie Liuyi listened to his analysis, but focused on another point. All legends have their origins. Where did the legend that Zeng Zhaoyun heard come from?
She knows how vast this jungle is, and the village under her feet can be said to be a paradise isolated from the world. How can there be legends in such a remote place that cannot be more remote? Who brought this legend out?
Xie Liuyi had a guess in his heart.
Since ancient times, there have been legends among the folks that the Gu technique can bring wealth and power to people, and it has been banned repeatedly throughout the dynasties.
It can be said that "this tribe is good at storing Gu", in the eyes of many people, it is equivalent to "there are treasures here".
Powerful people may disdain to pursue such illusory legends, but for desperate or greedy desperadoes, this is a very tempting bait to lure them Came alone to this inaccessible village.
Xie Liuyi suspected that this rumor was deliberately released. Since many years ago, people in the village have deliberately lured outsiders into the village for them to improve their genes.
This is why when villagers see outsiders, they will default to the scientific research team. Because the only outsiders they could see were the scientific research team.
However, people are unpredictable, aren't the villagers afraid of bringing wolves into the house?
Xie Liuyi looked up at Yan Yugui, but saw that he was looking at him with a happy expression. For a moment she forgot what she wanted to ask.
"What are you thinking about?" Yan Yugui raised his eyebrows.
Xie Liuyi calmed down, "That legend."
"The legend about the village and the inheritance of the magic trick?"
"Hmm."
"Do you suspect that the people in the village let it out on purpose?" Yan Yugui dragged the mountaineering bag and began to put everything on the ground.
Xie Liuyi didn't want to ask "how do you know", anyway, it was the roundworm in her stomach.
"It's possible."
"Aren't they afraid of bringing wolves into the house?" Xie Liuyi asked.
Yan Yugui looked up at her, "Have you forgotten that people in this village are good at storing Gu?"
Xie Liuyi suddenly realized. Outsiders, it is possible that they will be controlled by the Gu in the beginning.
"Why do you think they insisted on us drinking that bowl of wine last night?" Yan Yugui glanced at her angrily when he said this.
Xie Liuyi touched her nose with a guilty conscience, but she really didn't fall for the trick.
While speaking, Yan Yugui had already packed up the mountaineering, walked to the edge of the stone, and threw it down.
"Don't you bring it?" Xie Liuyi asked.
"No, I have memorized all the contents in the notebook. It's easy to scare the snakes with you." He walked back.
Yugui avoided her hand and frowned slightly, "Can you change your posture?"
Xie Liuyi thought for a while and asked, "Then I will carry you down?"
Then, Xie Liuyi hugged the person horizontally and jumped down.
In mid-air, her lips were tightly pursed, and her face was filled with a loveless expression.
At the foot of the cliff, before Xie Liuyi let go, he jumped down and left without saying a word.
Xie Liuyi pouted at his back: You said you are not afraid of heights? Dead ducks have tough mouths.
Back to the residence, an unexpected guest came to visit, it was the middle-aged male player who was refused to form a team on the first day of entering the book.
"I'm here to find you to form a team," he said straight to the point. "Someone has already confirmed the identity of the Gu King and is ready to act."
Hearing this, Xie Liuyi looked over with no expression, under the glance of his consciousness, his heartbeat was normal, and his expression was the same, obviously he was not lying.
But on the second day of the dungeon, someone found the king, is it possible?
Yugui said with an indifferent expression, "Isn't that just right?"
As long as one person reaches the clearance prompt, everyone in the entire dungeon can clear the level.
The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled, "You are still too young. This dungeon is likely to have a bloodline inheritance. I speculate that the person who kills the Gu King can inherit the bloodline of the great witch."
The author has something to say:The second update is still in the code, try to release it before twelve o'clock. Calvinka was so ecstatic today.
