RNP Chapter 460: Hairy Black Snake
Chapter 460: Hairy Black Snake
Early the next morning, after Wu Xie and Fatty Wang had a simple breakfast at the guesthouse, they borrowed horses from the guesthouse and headed straight for the Death Valley that Wu Xie remembered.
Wu Xie stood in front of the familiar valley on horseback, but he couldn't make up his mind to go in.
Wu Xie could clearly sense that this valley seemed to have been abandoned, with desolate scenery everywhere.
"Wu Xie, are we still going in?" Fatty Wang stood beside him, riding on the horse that rolled its eyes because of what he pressed on it.
“Of course we have to go in. This place has been abandoned. Although we may not find anything, as long as we have been here, there will be clues.
Besides, they might be related to the person behind the scenes, how could I miss such a good opportunity? "
Wu Xie mustered up his courage and shook the reins, and the horse walked towards the valley with a clatter.
Wu Xie rode on horseback and looked at the desolate valley filled with animal carcasses. It was obvious that this was indeed the cemetery for animals, just as the herdsmen had said in his dream.
Fatty Wang looked at the vultures circling overhead and the white bones around him, and couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
"Wu Xie, let's go quickly! It's too scary here!"
Fatty Wang urged Wu Xie to go inside quickly.
Soon, the two saw an ancient building standing in the center of the valley. Its shape was obviously very similar to the Zhang family ancient building they had seen in Banai.
Fatty Wang and Wu Xie looked at each other, not knowing whether they should continue to move forward or retreat. After informing Xie Yuchen, they waited for the people from their Zhang family to come and explore this ancient building together.
After all, the mechanisms in the Zhang family's ancient building gave them a hard time. Looking back now, they all feel that they are very lucky to have escaped safely from such a dangerous place.
"Wu Xie, should we continue moving forward now? Or should we talk to Xie Yuchen and wait for him to send someone?" Fatty Wang controlled the horse to stick close to Wu Xie's.
Wu Xie gritted his teeth and finally decided to keep moving forward. If he waited until Xie Yuchen's people arrived, he didn't know whether the things inside would be destroyed.
After all, this place was once so important. Wu Xie didn't believe that group of people would give up on it so easily, so he would definitely arrange people to watch over it nearby.
Maybe someone had already informed the person behind the scenes when they came in.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang safely arrived at the open space in front of the Drum Tower.
"If we just leave the horse here, won't it disappear when we get out? Then, we can only pray to meet Peng Ye again!"
Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang as if he were an idiot, and pointed to a small shed not far away. "Do you want to take a closer look at what that is?"
Fatty Wang looked in the direction of Wu Xie's finger and saw a small stable standing there quietly.
Fatty Wang looked up and down in embarrassment, whistling, and refusing to look at Wu Xie's dark face.
Wu Xie could only sigh in the end. After all, Fatty Wang was very reliable when there was danger, but when there was no danger, the danger came from him.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang tied their horses to the stable and slowly walked into the ancient building under the shadow.
......
Xie Mansion
Xie Yuchen sat in the study, one hand supporting his head on the armrest of the sofa, the other hand on his leg, fingertips tapping his thigh, looking a little upset.
A black shadow suddenly appeared, threw out a stack of papers, and then disappeared again.
Xie Yuchen did not pick up the information and look at it immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and sorted out the recent events in his mind.
Xie Yuchen already knew that Fatty Wang once belonged to Pangu and was specially selected to come to Yanjing to meet Wang Kaixuan and learn their unique skills.
Afterwards, he was taken by Wang Kaixuan to do several trips, made some name for himself, and had dealings with the antique dealer Da Jin Ya. Naturally, he came into the eyes of some people, such as Wu Sansheng and the two fools Xie Lianhuan.
Everything happened just as Pangu and the others had imagined. Fatty Wang later met Wu Xie, got to know him, and became friends with him. In the end, they became close friends to whom he could trust his younger generation.
However, perhaps the people of Pangu did not expect that it was Wu Xie's naivety and unwillingness to give up on anyone that touched Fatty Wang and led him to defect from the Pangu organization.
Fatty Wang has not been visited by the Pangu organization yet, because Xie Yuchen is kicking the door from behind to distract his view.
After all, in my father's words, Wu Xie is the son of heaven in this world, and the same goes for Fatty Wang. However, due to the invasion of Pangu's evil thoughts, the luck of these two people seemed to have been sucked dry.
......
In the ancient building, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang explored floor after floor. They found nothing from the bottom of the building to the top. It was cleaned thoroughly.
"Wu Xie, this is clean enough!"
"You didn't give us anything left!"
"It has been abandoned for so many years and has been eaten by some rodents in the valley. Even if there was something left, it would have become the excrement of those animals." Wu Xie looked at the empty room with a grim expression.
"Do you think there's a basement here?"
"After all, it's written in the TV series! The villains love to build basements in their own territory and then carry out their plans in secret."
Fatty Wang’s words seemed to wake Wu Xie up, and he pulled Fatty Wang straight to the first floor.
This time, they searched more carefully. After Fatty Wang accidentally touched an inconspicuous brick, the circular floor tile in the center of the first floor suddenly began to sink downward, eventually forming a huge abyss. Narrow stone bricks appeared on the walls on both sides, spiraling downward.
"Fatty, you're so lucky!"
Wu Xie looked at the road that appeared with shining eyes, and without waiting for Fatty Wang to say anything, he walked directly down the stairs towards the abyss.
Fatty Wang closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. Trembling, he raised his feet and followed Wu Xie into the bottomless abyss.
Wu Xie wondered how long the stairs were and how deep the abyss was, but when he raised his hand and looked at his hand, he realized that they had only walked for less than five minutes and they had already reached the underground.
"This thing is just for scaring people!" Fatty Wang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Wu Xie stroked the walls around him and said, "This may be an ancient light-absorbing material, just like what we encountered on the snowy mountain before."
Wu Xie walked around with the flashlight in his hand, heading towards the open stone door in the southwest, but was stopped by Fatty Wang. "Wu Xie, did you hear any sound?"
Wu Xie stopped and listened carefully. It seemed that something was indeed approaching them.
"From the sounds, it seems like there are quite a few coming! And, it sounds like some kind of crawling snake? Or it sounds like people crawling on the ground, with the sound of clothes rubbing against the ground."
"Wu Xie, the sound is getting closer. Why don't we go up first? After we notify Master Huaer and he sends someone over, we can explore together?"
Fatty Wang grabbed Wu Xie's sleeve and headed towards the stairs.
Wu Xie staggered a few steps when Fatty Wang pulled him hard, but he didn't insist on finding out the truth as stubbornly as before.
However, the moment Wu Xie stepped onto the stairs, he turned around and discovered that behind them, a large number of people wearing striped hospital gowns and ragged clothes had appeared. Those people had pale faces, and there were some bruises on their exposed arms.
Wu Xie noticed that their eyes were like snakes, with vertical pupils.
"Run!"
Wu Xie suddenly discovered that black snakes were coming out of those people's bodies, but these black snakes actually had long hair. If it weren't for their movement, Wu Xie would have thought that they were decorations.
At Wu Xie's reminder, Fatty Wang burst out with all his strength and dragged Wu Xie straight to the ground.
The two men rushed out of the ancient building without looking back, came to the stable, mounted their horses and galloped out of the valley.
Wu Xie looked back while riding on his horse. He couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling as he saw the swarm of snakes behind him that looked like a black tide.
It was not until they ran out of the valley and saw the group of snakes that dared not run out that they breathed a sigh of relief.
