Mystery

"This little brother," the fat man glanced at Wu Xie, and continued to speak his crappy classical Chinese, "Fatty Master, I think you have a lot of knowledge, I think we must have a common language, come, come..."

The hand that the fat man wanted to put on Zhang Qiling's shoulder was opened by Zhang Qiling. The sharpness in his eyes was as cold and terrifying as Wu Xie's first meeting.

The fat man laughed a few times, and retreated to Wu Xie knowingly.Wu Xie cleared his throat, stared at Zhang Qiling: "I'm sorry."

Zhang Qiling frowned.He wondered if the trust he had just built had crumbled.In an instant, the situation in this underground city changed dramatically.

"Back to the question you asked me at the beginning," Wu Xie's voice became hoarse after a long period of silence, "Our intention is me."

There was a touch of sadness in his eyes, like a gurgling stream slowly flowing into the deep pool in Zhang Qiling's eyes.In just a moment, Wu Xie withdrew that emotion.His voice was lower and heavier than before.

"Ascension to heaven is not possible, but immortality is possible."

Zhang Qiling instantly understood the purpose of their trip, and directly pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve.Wu Xie didn't hide either, and let him put the knife on his neck.The blade hit his scar impartially, and if it went any deeper, it would be stained with blood.

"It's not him." The fat man also pulled out his sword and pointed at Zhang Qiling, "He was also forced."

"Get out of here." Zhang Qiling retracted the dagger.Fatty just thought that there was a chance to speak again, but Zhang Qiling jumped onto another branch, and the branch where Fatty and Wu Xie were located immediately broke and fell heavily to the ground.

……

"Ahem..." Fatty's cough was very soft.He covered Wu Xie's mouth, telling him to hold back.

They were covered by the raised dust and couldn't see clearly what was going on above.The fat man cursed in a low voice, squatting on the ground to study the fracture of the bronze branch.

"Don't look, there is no warning." Wu Xie sat on the ground, "Where did you go?"

"It's a long story. The most urgent thing is to study that little brother," the fat man's eyes changed, and he looked at Wu Xie strangely: "How did you meet him?"

"It's because of him that I fell behind," Wu Xie punched the fat man, telling him not to look at him so weirdly, "He knows this place like the back of his hand, it's definitely not simple. Looking at him like that, he should be from those mysterious Zhang family members .”

"The Zhang family?" Fatty fell into deep thought, "No wonder they brought you here."

Wu Xie waved his hand, telling him not to mention this matter casually.Perhaps it was a psychological reason, he felt a dull pain in his scar.Every time he encountered difficult things, he would unconsciously touch the scar on his neck.This is a sign for him, a label that makes his life different from others.

The smoke had cleared, and the fat man looked up vigilantly, only to find that Zhang Qiling had disappeared.

"Are you kidding? Three people can't stand on it, but he can collapse in one jump?" The fat man rubbed his precious sword. The snakeskin pattern on the hilt was already worn out. Fatty Tian kept holding it and did not dare to let go.

"This is the ability of the artifact," Wu Xie picked up a small fragment, "the ability poured out of human blood."

"Then we should leave as soon as possible. I made a mark along the road, and we should be able to meet up with the main force." Fatty's words reassured Wu Xie a little. It seemed that many people hadn't died here.

The unknown is like a fog, spreading at an unimaginable speed...

With Zhang Qiling's experience of bringing him in, it was much easier for Wu Xie to go out from here.Fatty learned about the ability of the bronze tree from Wu Xie, and had to sigh at the wisdom of his ancestors and God.

The journey was very smooth, without gnats and those monsters.Wu Xie thought that Zhang Qiling had already dealt with all those things when he went out.The shattered mask was still lying on the ground, Wu Xie looked at the piece of stone with eyes that were no longer radiant, and replaced the piece of bronze tree with it.

Perhaps it was because the bronze had broken into pieces the size of half a palm, Wu Xie tried to materialize some things, but all failed.The fat man clamored for the fragment of the eye, saying that it was a high-quality treasure, and even if he failed to achieve his goal, it was not in vain to go out.

Wu Xie followed the fat man around for a long time, feeling a little impatient. "Fatty, where is the mark you made?" He looked around, but found no special mark.

"Damn it..." The fat man slapped himself symbolically, "This...the mark I made..."

"Disappeared."

The fat man's head exploded with a "buzz".He tried hard to recall the path he had traveled before and the marks he had made.He looked around, but didn't find the marks he had carved on the stone wall.

"Are you kidding..." Wu Xie knew that the fat man was definitely not playing with him, but he still couldn't believe it.

"I'm going to make a joke for you. I'll write the character for king upside down..." The fat man was still looking left and right.

"Wait a minute... the armor in the cave before is yours?" Wu Xie carefully recalled the details he saw, and found a very important gap.

"What armor?" The fat man stared blankly at Wu Xie, "The situation was urgent, and my armor was for convenience, so I just threw it on the road."

"It's not yours?" Wu Xie also looked at the fat man in a daze, "We came back the same way, but the suit of armor next to the stone steps... seems... gone..."

"It's so fucking evil..." Although the fat man didn't know what kind of armor it was, he could almost imagine the scene, "I came here alone in our team."

Wu Xie felt his head was going to explode, and the thrilling scenes reappeared in his mind for countless times.From the very beginning, he was not afraid of danger, but was afraid of one thing - "ghost".

This "ghost" is not those ghosts that seem to be real, but a code name they created.None of them have ever seen a "ghost", nor have they ever met.But they, that is, himself and the fat man, seemed to have a deep hatred with the "ghost", and they were avoiding and fighting back from the very beginning.

But it feels like punching the air, like talking and fighting with the illusory smoke... He seems to exist in any seemingly impossible corner, exists in the truth he wants to pursue and he has been set of fate.

He may be the enemy, or he may be the guide who leads them to the end.

"Okay, let's go to bed first." Fatty leaned against the stone wall, "I have to analyze it carefully."

"Fatty, how many days have passed?" Wu Xie's tone was very serious.

"Based on my years of experience in time, seven days have passed."

"Seven days?" Wu Xie made up his mind, and if he said that, he fell into a coma for four or five days.

Just thinking about it, a burst of drowsiness hit again, and Wu Xie felt very tired.He was really tired after going through so many things in two days.Moreover, the wishes of his ancestors and high officials may have come true in his generation. Since he entered here, his physical strength has been overdrawn much faster than usual.His generation has really succeeded, and perhaps only he can feel such a strong adverse reaction under the seemingly good appearance.

The fat man was afraid of causing trouble, so he didn't light the torch.Wu Xie connected the clues bit by bit, but still couldn't find a breakthrough.

"Fatty," just as he was about to fall asleep, Wu Xie's voice drifted into his ears, "Where have you been?"

"Rift Valley," the fat man yawned, "it should be the only place where you can see the sky."

Wu Xie got a little excited when he heard something related to the outside world.Now he kind of misses the days when he used to sleep in the open and had no place to live, so he had to find the tallest weeds so that the wind would not be so strong, and the days when several people huddled together.

"How far is it from the entrance?"

"It's very far away. It may be because there is no way to directly see the sunrise and sunset. The large army is traveling very fast, almost non-stop. I just took a short nap."

"Don't you usually have a bright mind?" Wu Xie wanted to give him a blank look, "Wouldn't it be over if you just escaped from the rift?"

"If it were that simple, no one would die," Fatty seemed to regain his spirits all of a sudden, "We were chased there by a group of big birds."
