Starting from the ultimate, the keeper behind the Nine Gates

She looked at the black glasses and asked slowly: "What's going on?"

"Whose people are those?"

No one can answer her previous question yet because they don't know it yet.

Just the last one...

Fatty Wang winked at Black Glasses desperately, signaling him not to say anything.

But at this time, Black Glasses suddenly smiled, shrugged and said helplessly: "Fat Master, there is nothing that can't be said now. We are all grasshoppers on a rope now."

"Instead of giving me a wink, think about how to explain it to the person next to you!"

Hearing this, Fatty Wang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head mechanically, only to see Wu Tianzhen staring at him sinisterly.

"Yes, Fatty Wang, please explain to me. Didn't you say that you were invited by A Ning? How did you know that my third uncle is here?"

Wu Tianzhen gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing his name, Aning raised his eyebrows and looked at Fatty Wang, wondering: "When did I invite you?"

This question was like adding fuel to the fire, making Wu Tianzhen's eyes even more angry.

Fatty Wang looked at the Shura field in front of him and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, "Well... actually... um..."

His eyes rolled wildly, trying to think of a way to break the dead situation in front of him.

It's just that Wu Tianzhen doesn't understand why he's like this.

He suddenly raised his voice and said angrily: "Hurry up and say it!"

Stretching out the head with a knife, retracting the head is also a knife!

Fatty Wang had no choice but to give up his struggle, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, you are so naive."

Seeing that the innocent eyes were about to condense into substance, Fatty Wang's heart skipped a beat, he closed his eyes tightly, held his neck and spoke very fast:

"Actually, I took the order from your third uncle. After I came down, I also encountered a wave of snakes, so I got separated from my third uncle and the others."

"I didn't expect to be met by you, so I made a temporary excuse."

"Most of these people were brought by Third Uncle. I thought something had happened to him, so I was so excited."

"I'm sorry for being naive, I was wrong!"

The whole sequence of confessing, bowing, and apologizing was extremely smooth.

Wu Tianzhen endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back and kicked Fatty Wang in the ass.

He said angrily: "Well, you fat man did so many things behind my back!"

Still not relieved, he punched Fatty Wang twice in the stomach.

Fatty Wang was silently glad that his belly was thick and he didn't feel much pain.

But on the surface, he still showed his teeth and pretended to be in pain.

Wu Tianzhen knew from his exaggerated look that this man was acting.

……

Just when the two of them were in a mess, Jiang Xing walked around the stone platform filled with corpses and came to the opposite side.

I saw a long bluestone road suddenly appeared in front of me.

Unlike other places that are overgrown with weeds, this bluestone road is considered clean. At least it is not covered by thick moss and mud, and it is still its original appearance.

And there are a total of twenty stone statues they just discovered here!

They are distributed on both sides of the stone road, as if they are looking down at the visitors, looking solemn and strange!

At this time, others followed, and Wu Tianzhen walked in front, completely ignoring Fatty Wang behind him.

But after seeing the scene in front of him, he temporarily put what just happened behind him.

Just now when he was standing on the stone platform looking for corpses, he also noticed something unusual here.

But he was too anxious at the time to care.

Now that I look closely, it looks like this area has been visited frequently. There are several paths nearly two meters wide around it.

It extends from the bluestone road to all directions.

Pidan carefully avoided the corpses and skeletons on the ground and came to the side of everyone.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but swallowed dryly and said tremblingly: "There shouldn't be cannibals here, right?"

As he spoke, he looked around nervously, fearing that he would become one of these corpses the next second.

Jiang Xing picked up a branch and moved the grass.

Then he said in a deep voice: "It's a snake."

"snake?!"

Fatty Wang also became alert and asked: "Brother Xiao Jiang, are you saying this is a snake's nest?"

"No."

Jiang Xing threw away the branch, patted the dust on his hands, and continued: "What I mean is that these corpses should have been dragged here by snakes."

There were still blood stains on the crushed grass.

Snake dragging people?

How big of a snake would it take to do this?

But thinking about the number of snakes during the snake tide, it doesn't seem impossible.

After listening to Jiang Xing's words, when everyone turned their attention to the corpses, they also found that they all had some small wounds on their bodies.

It should have been caused by a scratch and collision while being towed here.

There are just a few things they don't understand.

Ah Ning frowned, "Why don't they share the food on the spot instead of transporting the body here?"

"Yes, and..."

Fatty Wang suppressed his nausea, pointed to some corpses with half of their bodies missing, and said, "It feels more like...the wounds were caused by being directly torn apart by some kind of large animal."

The more Fatty Wang spoke, the softer his voice became. He was even startled by his words and broke into a cold sweat.

And Pi Dan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear and subconsciously retorted: "How is this possible?!"

“Even beasts like bears and tigers can’t swallow half of a person’s body in one go, right?!”

Wu Tianzhen's eyes suddenly widened, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's not impossible."

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he slowly said: "What was recorded on the stone statue just now was a sacrificial scene."

"The Queen Mother of the West offered living people as sacrifices to the so-called sacred beasts in order to ask the sacred beasts to protect their country."

"The mythical beast will appear after the sacrifice ceremony and devour the human sacrifices."

"And the mythical beast carved on it is a giant python as thick as a swimming dragon!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the mountain of corpses on the stone platform, and said with a horrified expression: "These corpses may have been dragged by pheasant necks to offer to the giant python!"

Fatty Wang was dumbfounded by what he said, and he couldn't help but raise his voice: "This pheasant has a snake neck and is not a human being. How can it be offered to the ancestors?"

He did not doubt whether there would really be a giant snake.

After all, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.

Although I am still afraid...

It's just that the behavior of the pheasant's neck is even more creepy. This act of sacrifice seems to have given them intelligence.

Wu Tianzhen's face didn't look good, "But they are unusual. What kind of snakes have you seen that can work as a team?"

At this time, Pidan on the side couldn't help but interrupted weakly: "Brothers, it seems that now is not the time to talk about this, right?"

"Should we leave here quickly? What if the giant python turns back to eat?"

Unexpectedly, Fatty Wang said with a look of disgust on his face: "Who is your brother? Stop trying to fool around!"

Wu Tianzhen nodded, "It is indeed possible."

He looked at the so-called trails that were pressed out around him and continued: "These marks should be caused by giant pythons often coming here to eat."
