Chapter 74 Exploring the Secrets of Northern Tibet (17)
"Don't be afraid, the person with a broken neck will definitely die."
Wei Xun enlightened and comforted Xu Yang: "If there are living people in the soil, it is worth being afraid. There is nothing to be afraid of dead people, right?"
"Will he still bite you?"
Xu Yang:? ?
"Yes, that's right."
Xu Yang was led astray by Wei Xun's absurd reasoning, and he was not so afraid when he regained consciousness. After doing enough psychological training, he took the initiative to pick up the blind stick again, and went back to the place where the body was found just now with Wei Xun, and carefully explored it again. for a week.
"At least at a depth of ten meters, I can only feel their upper body up to this position."
Xu Yang gestured at his waist: "You can't see the rest."
The title of blind person's perception means that the maximum depth of perception is ten meters, and there is darkness below. Xu Yang was scared just now and didn't look carefully. However, now it seems that the body with only the upper body left is even more terrifying with the waist half submerged in the darkness.
"The corpses should have been buried in the soil, something like this."
As Xu Yang walked, he used his blind stick to draw a rough circle on the ground, just like the circle Sun Wukong drew for Tang Monk before asking for alms. He roughly drew a circle with a diameter of five meters.
"It's dark further down, and there may be more."
Xu Yang walked into the circle of paintings, tapped with his blind stick, and muttered: "There is a body here, there is one here, and there is one here."
If people who don't know the truth see this scene, they will definitely find it strange.
"We can't find it here. It's blocked by something like a pyramid."
Xu Yang circled another area at the center of the circle, roughly two meters long and wide.
"It's triangular. It looks like a tower. I can't tell the material."
He can sense things underground, but if these things are contained in boxes or boxes, he cannot sense them.
"Cemetery? Altar?"
Xu Yang guessed that after all, the mummies surrounding the pyramid-like things, standing and buried in the soil, with broken necks and faces facing the earth were so weird and terrifying that they really looked like some kind of religious ceremony.
"Come, let's explore this place too."
Wei Xun was not in a hurry to guess. He took Xu Yang to the ruins of Shuang Xiu's murals and the secret room with the strange Buddha statue, and asked Xu Yang to use his blind stick to sense. The ruins with murals were actually a secret passage sloping downward. The end of the secret passage that Xu Yang could sense was facing the strange place with standing mummies. It is more towards the direction of Qiongzong Right Peak.
Behind the secret room of the strange Buddha statue is a huge underground cave, and Xu Yang cannot detect the end of the cave.
In other words, the secret passage of the mural is likely to be connected to the altar-like place in the cemetery, and the strange Buddha and the cave are another ruins.
"I can't detect it any further. The sensing distance is still too close."
Xu Yang was a little embarrassed. He originally thought that he would be very useful in exploring the ruins, but he didn't expect that past earthquakes had collapsed most of the secret chambers near the surface. Many ruins were deeper, and he couldn't fully perceive what was underneath. Is there any agency danger?
And judging from Wei Xun's appearance, he should have known there were ruins here for a long time. Thinking of this, Xu Yang admired Wei Xun, and felt that he had been frightened by the corpse just now. He was so startled that he looked too childlike and not brave.
Brother Wei wouldn't think he was useless, right?
"Have you completed your mission?"
Wei Xun was quite happy. For him, it was enough to know that there were ruins underground somewhere. It was exciting enough to explore the unknown by himself.
"No, the hotel only reminded me that I had discovered the ruins. It should be that I need to touch it with my own hands. The hotel will not let people take advantage of it."
If he could only discover the ruins by tapping his blind cane on the ground, it would be too outrageous. The hotel will not allow this kind of thing to easily pass the attractions with just one title.
Xu Yang was worried and secretly made up his mind to practice bravery. He looked around carefully with a straight face, even the face of each corpse, and he really found something wrong.
"These corpses all have sarcoma-like bulges on their foreheads."
Xu Yang was unsure: "It's too small. I originally thought they were rocks in the soil, but if you look carefully at the place between their foreheads, there seems to be a dry bulge? Every corpse has it." "
Xu Yang gestured at the area between his eyebrows: "This is it. The largest one is as big as a soybean, and the smallest one is as big as a pimple."
"Is it here?"
Wei Xun pondered, thinking of the golden-headed mummy. There was a sarcoma on the thickest part of the gray-red fleshy membrane on its head, but it was the size of an apricot, bigger than the bulges on the foreheads of the mummies mentioned by Xu Yang. .
Is there any connection between them?
"Not urgent."
Wei Xun saw that Xu Yang was breathing heavily and was out of breath, as if he was holding on, so he simply sent him to the station area to rest. Then Wei Xun returned to the ruins by himself.
He had just sorted out the information Xu Yang said in his mind, and roughly drew a map of the underground secret passage in his mind.
Everything was ready, Wei Xun began to call Ding Gou in his heart.
Ding Yi, who has been hiding far away since just now, not being an eyesore at all, has an ominous premonition in his heart! Sure enough, the next moment, Wei Xun ordered it:
"You go down to the ground first and take a look."
Is Wei Xun planning to kill him?
Ding Yi was filled with despair and resentment, his whole body was cold, and he scolded Wei Xun one thousand eight hundred times.
What a vicious person, what a cruel heart. Wei Xun obviously wants him to risk his life to explore the way!
but--
Ding Yi sneered. He had already expected it and had a response strategy. Wei Xun still didn't know much about tour guides.
‘I will definitely do my best to complete Master’s mission, Wang Wang. ’
Ding Gou pretended to be worried, as if he was thinking about Wei Xun: "But I am still the tour guide of the brigade now, and the hotel offers different levels of difficulty to tour guides and tourists." If I enter the ruins as a tour guide, the difficulty level of the ruins will not only be difficult, there may even be supernatural enemies! ’
Do you want him, Ding Yi, to risk his life in an adventure? There are no doors!
Ding Yi laughed in his heart, the dog's face was as cunning as a human.
It is correct to say that only when the tour guide and the tourists act together, or when the tourists act alone, they face normal difficulty. When the tour guide acts alone, the difficulty level of the ruins is no longer limited by the journey. However, the tour guide is a hotel employee. As long as he is not tasked with opening up new attractions, most of the monsters in the ruins will not attack the tour guide.
But travelers are different.
Haha, it depends on what you choose!
If Wei Xun wanted to sit back and enjoy the success, and let him go on an adventure for a while, and then go down on his own after clearing the danger, then he would be totally wrong.
If he and Ding go down alone, the real difficulty of activating the ruins will definitely be beyond the current strength of travelers like Wei Xun and others. This ruins will be considered useless to them.
And even if Wei Xun takes him down to the ruins, Ding Yi will definitely be out of the live broadcast camera range. Ding Yi understood from the moment he blocked the live broadcast that Wei Xun didn't want him to be exposed. Of course, Ding Yi didn't want to expose his devil dog form.
In this case, if they go to the ruins together, Ding Yi cannot appear in front of Wei Xun. Otherwise, if he brings a little black dog to the ruins, the outside audience will definitely become suspicious. But if Ding Yi walks too far ahead and is not with the tourists, it is considered that the tour guide is acting alone, and the difficulty will also be activated.
As long as Wei Xun doesn't want to take risks, he must not be allowed to touch the ruins, otherwise the gain will definitely outweigh the loss. As long as he has some brains, he will definitely think it through——
'very nice. ’
Wei Xun happily told him: "You should walk through the two ruins below. Remember to rub everywhere to make sure you don't miss anything." ’
Ding Yi:? ? ?
Is this Wei Xun crazy? !
Or is he crazy? What Wei Xun said was human language, why couldn't he understand it?
Ding Yi barked twice in shock and confusion, and couldn't even speak human words. Wei Xun saw that he was confused and thought that this was probably the sequelae of losing SAN. Ding Yi might have become a semi-idiot, so he told him again.
‘I want you to activate the difficulty of the underground ruins, do you understand? ’
Wei Xun said coldly and solemnly, without being polite at all: 'If I go down later and feel that the difficulty is not right, you will get the severest punishment. "
‘Go quickly! ’
Dingguo was excited, and his sense of crisis and instinctive obedience made him slip into the cracks in the ground. He ran down for a while before barely regaining consciousness. It all feels mysterious.
Could it be that Wei Xun would rather give up these two ruins than kill him?
This is wrong. It’s not that Ding Yi is belittling himself. In fact, Wei Xun has completely controlled his life. Even if Ding Yi is unwilling to give in, Wei Xun can die with just one thought. There is no need to go to such trouble. Two more ruins would be wasted.
Or is Wei Xun trying to trick someone? Others don't know that the difficulty limit of this ruins has been lifted. If Wei Xun wants to harm someone, he can just deceive the other person to come over without them noticing——
Ding Yi felt that he had discovered the truth, yes, yes, that must be the case.
Wei Xun is really as vicious and cunning as he thought, and there will definitely be no good consequences for being targeted by him.
Somehow, Ding Yi felt a twisted dissatisfaction in his heart. Who else in this brigade could be stronger than him, Ding Yi, so that Wei Xun had to go to great lengths to frame him, even wasting ruins to create a trap, and had to bother him, Ding Yi, to explore the way?
He has never been so solemnly calculated before!
Buzz——
A dark wind blew from the depths of the dark tunnel, and there was a faint fishy smell in the wind. Ding Gou shrank his neck, and the fear of crisis made him dare not think of anything else. It summoned several venomous snakes to explore the way, and they tremblingly looked forward.
Half a day passed, and at 4:30 in the afternoon, the passengers returned to the camp and everyone had something to gain.
"Here, we found the remains of a cave with many murals inside."
Ji Hongcai took a sip of precious water and gasped: "I can't understand it either. In addition to the murals, there are some pottery fragments when you go inside the cave. These murals probably record the history of the Shang Shung Kingdom, because the three of us All basic tasks have been completed.”
Exploration-type tasks are not as specific as folklore tasks, which are as specific as chasing corpses and crying for marriage. Mostly when travelers discover something, the hotel will have an exploration progress bar. Experienced travelers have learned from experience that as long as the exploration progress reaches 30%, even if they have completed the minimum tourist attraction tasks, they can receive rewards.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
I don't know if he was choking, but Ji Hongcai coughed a series of times, his face turned red like a rash:
"The hole wasn't deep, so I used an engineering shovel to dig it out. It was very brittle, and a bunch of stone flakes were removed in a few strokes. There was a strange insect in the stone flakes, so be careful. I was almost bitten by it. . Lao Qin also collected its body. "
Ji Hongcai couldn't stop coughing even after drinking a few sips of water. He muttered that his throat was itchy, covered his mouth and coughed, refusing to waste any more water. Qin Xinrong took out a palm-sized sealed bag and handed it to Wei Xun.
Inside the bag was a flattened insect corpse. Wei Xun took a look and realized that the insect was really weird. It was a bit like a caterpillar called a spicy caterpillar. It was densely covered with black hair, but a large piece of hair was rubbed off its back when Ji Hongcai patted it.
The exposed patterns look unusually like a human face with fresh blood flowing through it.
【Evil Insect】
Wei Xun saw the name of this insect at a glance, and he felt something was wrong. The places Ji Hongcai and the others explored were places that Ding Yi had never been to, that is, they had not been able to unlock the difficulty level. But ruins exploration has its own inherent dangers.
"Ji Hongcai, have you ever touched this insect?"
Following Wei Xun's gaze, the passengers all looked at Ji Hongcai, who couldn't stop coughing, and saw Yin Baitao giving him his kettle. Ji Hongcai's face turned red from coughing and he was speechless, so he reached out to take the kettle.
But Yin Baitao trembled suddenly and almost dropped the kettle to the ground. Her face was full of horror, she stared straight at Ji Hongcai, and cried out in panic: "Ji Hongcai, you coughed up blood!"
