Night Watchman - C264

I almost cried out when I heard the words.

Seeing that I was a little agitated, Toshiko immediately put her finger to her mouth and made a small gesture.

Seeing this, I also realized that I seemed to have lost my composure. Luckily, Hua Zi, who was walking in front, didn’t have any reaction. Maybe he had already heard our conversation, but he didn’t show it.

If the Qiong Qi had already entered the tunnel where the Golden Man was buried, it would have been a big problem! Furthermore, not only will that damned thing not die, it will also be able to attach itself to other animals. Just these two points alone will bring us no end of trouble!

Moreover, if that damned thing had already found some strange species in the forest to attach to, it would be even more troublesome!

At this point, they could only hope that it had met up with Bai Cai and the others. Only Bai Cai and the others would have the means and ability to deal with this troublesome monster.

But in order to be safe, we have to be prepared. However, this kind of thing called Qiong Qi has only appeared in the ‘Classic of the Mountain and Sea’. I don’t understand it at all, so how could it be easy to think of a way to deal with it?

I was frowning as I thought about the countermeasures, but then I suddenly caught a glimpse of the deranged man’s expression, which made me even more irritated. “If you have something to say, say it now, so that we can prepare it in advance! If you run away when the situation is about to get worse, don’t blame me for not being friendly! ”

Hearing my words, the deranged man’s face turned ugly, but he still told me the reason behind the matter.

It turned out that when Qiong Qi entered the tunnel, he had indeed attached himself to something. However, that thing seemed to be an extremely ferocious species. Those animals that happened to encounter it were all afraid of being unable to avoid it, so how could they dare to stay and watch?

So in those dreams, what he saw was only the fear of the animals, and in the dreams, there was an animal with a golden cross on its back, but he couldn’t tell what it was. As for the rest, even Madman knew nothing about them.

He remembered that when he saw the wild boar and the tiger in the forest, they didn’t show any fear towards each other. Only when the giant bear appeared did the beasts scatter. In other words, the animals that the Qiong Qi was attached to were even more intimidating than tigers. They might even be creatures as terrifying as the giant bear!

But no matter what kind of animal it was, as long as it was an animal, there was no one who wasn’t afraid of fire! As long as it is afraid of fire, we don’t necessarily lack the strength to fight!

With this thought in mind, I directly reached into my pocket to grab the crescent moon chisel, and then chased after Dazhou and the others.

Due to the incident with the weasel, we had completely forgotten about the situation around the ancestral hall. Now, after Madman brought us to the back of the ancestral hall, he immediately found a flight of stone stairs that led to the top of the mountain through the thick grass.

Although the stone steps had endured the corrosion of nearly a thousand years, they still retained some of the inscriptions from ancient times. Although on the way to Mongolia, I temporarily embellished some of the Manchu culture, but the things left behind were already too mottled, I also did not see why.

After nearly half an hour of hasty march, we finally reached the place the deranged man had described at twelve o’clock.

It was just as the crazy man had said. On the back of the mountain, there was a huge stone monument that was erected in front of a stone wall. As for the stone wall, it was dug into the inside of the mountain as if it was man-made. There was a simple stone door embedded in the wall. There was no stone lion guarding the door, nor were there any exquisite carvings on the wall.

If not for the huge stone tablet erected right in front of the stone door, even if he passed by, he might not have been able to find the stone door.

“Hey!” Brother Zhou, look at those messy snake-like things on the monument, just what are they? ”

As soon as he saw the stone tablet, the large board rushed up with a fuss and jumped off the Hunchbacked Stone Tortoise that was dashing up the mountain.

Seeing this, I wanted to go up and carefully read the text on the surface of the monument, but Crazy Kid took the lead and walked towards the board, “This is a record of how the predecessors brought the huge gold people to hide here.”

Hearing the words of the deranged man, the board immediately got the deranged man to explain to him the meaning behind the words written on the tablet, and what the deranged man said was nothing more than what he told me before, how those twelve descendants of his used the Wind Controlling Technique to kite those gold men to this place.

However, as he was recounting the incidents that I already knew about and staring blankly at the exposed door, a few murals in the deep underground lake suddenly surfaced in my mind.

Previously, I thought that those murals were randomly carved by our predecessors, or perhaps, they were the accounts of someone’s life. However, it turned out that those murals were left behind by some unknown prophet from ancient times.

Due to the lack of time, I didn’t have the time to examine the other murals. I only took a quick glance at them as I escaped. But now, there are a few murals faintly appearing in my mind.

I vaguely remember seeing a stone tortoise carrying a huge stone tablet in a mural, and standing next to that stone tortoise were four people. The stone tortoise that appeared on the mural was special, so I had a deeper impression of those paintings. I also vaguely remember that out of the four people standing beside the stone tortoise, one of them was slightly further away from the other three. Furthermore, there were a few words specially written on that person’s mouth, just like that person had fangs!

The picture on the mural is very simple, but thinking about it now, I couldn’t help but feel a little scared. That’s because when Bai Cai and the rest entered, there were three of them and we happened to be four. Doesn’t that mean that one of the four of us is the mutated beast with fangs?

Not Bighead and Hua Tzu, since the three of us nearly fainted together before the crazy guy came looking for us. If one of them was an outsider, we wouldn’t be standing here safe and sound.

Then, the only possibility left would be madness.

However, the first time I was woken up by a wooden cow, a wild boar tried to attack us. If it weren’t for the fact that Crazy Kid arrived in time, I’m afraid we would have already been trampled by the wild boar! How could he still stand here and doubt him?

But if it wasn’t him, who else could it be? Could it be that when I was woken up by the wooden cow, the danger came from him, but it was that wild boar that saved our lives?

Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but furrow my brows as I looked in the direction of Edger and the rest.

At this moment, the big board was attentively listening to the bizarre story recounted by the deranged one. As for Hua Zi, even though he had a very serious look, I found that his hand was secretly pressing onto the pistol at his waist!
