Chapter 256 Qiongqi Eight Trigrams Lock
"I was given the surname Zhang by the Buddha, so let's not mention my given name."
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling had expected this person to come from one of the Nine Gates.
Now that he has revealed his identity, he is actually Zhang Dafoye's subordinate, and judging from the fact that he was granted the surname, he should be a direct descendant.
"Since you're one of Buddha's men, how did you end up like this?"
Chen Wenjin frowned at his horrifying appearance and asked a question.
The mutant was silent for a moment, then raised its incredibly long arm and looked at its pale skin with sorrow.
"I was afraid of death and failed the Buddha's trust. This is my punishment."
After speaking, the mutant looked up at the Dapu Ghost Worms that had surrounded it.
"I'm sorry to Buddha, I'm returning this life to him."
After saying that, the mutant suddenly charged into the Dapu Ghost Worms.
Instantly, its entire body was ignited by boundless karmic fire, and a few seconds later it turned into ashes and drifted into the air.
'Ding~ Mission to eliminate mutants completed.'
Reward: Bloodline Enhancement Potion
Do you wish to collect it?
"Although I admire his loyalty to Master Zhang, his habit of only saying half of what he means is really annoying."
While Chen Wenjin was still stunned by the sudden turn of events, Huo Ling, who was standing to the side, spoke up crisply.
This left Chen Wenjin both amused and exasperated.
"Xiaoling, you...sigh, what you said makes some sense. This person knew a lot of secrets, but committed suicide before revealing much."
It really makes one feel suffocated.
Cheng Feng controlled the flying Dapu Ghost Insects, guiding them into the screening room.
The curtain that had been blocking the way officially fell away as the flames burned.
"It's time to go. We haven't even reached the gates of Gutongjing yet. We should find a place to rest in a little while."
Cheng Feng led the girls into the screening room.
A bizarre scene was unfolding here: swarms of Dap Ghost Insects were seen systematically rushing towards the moving corpse.
These physical bodies left behind in the world have completed their mission today, and have all returned to dust along with the immeasurable karmic fire.
With only a few corpses remaining, just before the Dap Ghost Worms burned them...
A black snake with fine hairs suddenly darted out from the corpse's trouser leg.
The Pure Vision Agamas, which filled the screening room, immediately charged fiercely at the black-haired snake.
In just a few seconds, the black-haired snake was curled into a ball by the Pure Vision Agama, and several pairs of venomous fangs bit into its body.
Those who witnessed this scene had different expressions; Yang Xueli looked thoughtful.
Chen Wenjin stared at the corpse of the black-haired snake that had fallen out; the corpse was now motionless.
Huo Ling is like Chen Wenjin, but her focus is clearly different from others.
"Could that snake have crawled out of his butt?"
"The snake must have been inside the corpse's stomach, and only escaped from the passage after sensing the danger of death."
Although Chen Wenjin found Huo Ling's focus a bit strange, she still patiently explained it to her friend.
Yang Xueli nodded in agreement:
“That’s right, and I think this black-haired snake is very likely the reason why the corpse didn’t decompose and could move.”
As they spoke, the tightly packed Pure Vision Agama had dispersed, and the black-haired snake inside was dead beyond any doubt.
Although it has mutated into a very strange ability, this does not make it immune to the toxins of the Pure Vision Agama.
After the last few bodies were cremated, Cheng Feng led the four women out of the screening room.
He opened an iron gate and left.
"That kind of black-haired snake parasitizes the human body and secretes a special toxin."
People infected with the toxin will become like those people in the movie theater.
When temperatures are low, they hibernate like snakes.
Our flares ignited the curtain, generating heat that woke up those monsters.
Walking through the dimly lit passage, Cheng Feng quietly explained the information about the black-haired snake to the girls.
Although they didn't know where Cheng Feng got the information, he was always mysterious, and the girls were used to it.
"In other words, those corpses also inherited the characteristics of the black-haired snake to some extent."
No wonder their skin is so white and shiny, they must have shed their skin!
Yang Xueli, who was walking beside Cheng Feng, shared her guess.
"That's right. People parasitized by black-haired snakes will exhibit certain snake-like characteristics, one of which is smooth skin."
As they talked, Cheng Feng and his companions walked along the passage for several hundred meters.
Finally, the road ahead became wider and wider, and when they walked out of the cave, they came into a much larger space.
The area is surrounded by black stone walls, and judging from the marks on them, they were probably carved out by the original inhabitants of the ancient city of Tongjing a long time ago.
By the light of their flashlights, the group saw a large steel gate ahead.
A circular outline was placed on the gate, inside which was a large abacus.
Above the abacus is a ferocious beast head.
"The Qiongqi beast head, this should be the work of Zhang Dafoye."
Chen Wenjin had learned some information about Zhang Qishan from Chen Pi.
All members of the Zhang family have tattoos, the designs of which indicate their respective identities and statuses.
Zhang Qishan, being a branch of the Zhang family, had impure blood and could only be accompanied by the ferocious beast Qiongqi.
"This is the Zhang family's Qiongqi Bagua Lock. To open it, you need to manipulate the abacus beads."
Let them form a Bagua (Eight Trigrams), with a fixed order from which direction to end.
One wrong step and the mechanism on the door will be triggered, at which point the Qiongqi Bagua Lock will be completely locked.
Arriving at the iron gate, Cheng Feng examined the gate that Zhang Qishan had painstakingly built and said...
"Old Cheng, you should know a way to open it, right?"
Chen Wenjin asked.
Just then, a voice came from behind them.
"Only the Zhang family can open this door. It seems we've made a wasted trip."
Cheng Feng and the other women turned around to look at the passage behind them.
Several beams of flashlight shone out, and then Wu Sansheng led his remaining four men out of the passage.
Perhaps during their time apart, Wu Sansheng had come to a realization, and when facing Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin...
He had regained his composure and even regained some of the demeanor of the Third Master Wu.
"Wu Sansheng, you've got some nerve! Aren't you afraid I'll just bury you right here in this ancient city of Tongjing?"
Cheng Feng looked at Wu Sansheng, who was striding over, with amusement, and said in a mocking tone.
Wu Sansheng remained expressionless, and after stopping in front of the group, he spoke:
"If you want to kill me, I can't escape no matter where you are, so why should I be afraid?"
"That's more like the Wu family's style now. That timid, womanly behavior before was truly disappointing."
Seeing Wu Sansheng's calm expression, Cheng Feng nodded in affirmation.
If he continues with that life-or-death attitude, Cheng Feng might just send him to his death right here.
Wu Sansheng's eye twitched, and he cursed inwardly: This bastard, if it weren't for his abnormally strong strength...
That mouth of his could have killed him eight hundred times over.
"The Qiongqi Bagua Lock, currently only one person can open it."
Wu Sansheng shifted his gaze from Cheng Feng, shone his flashlight on the large abacus on the door, examined it for a moment, and then spoke.
You mean Zhang Qiling!
Chen Wenjin thought of his taciturn business partner, wondering if he had found his memories.
Wu Sansheng nodded, listening to his beloved speak, but dared not look at her.
He feared that his hard-won peace of mind would be stirred up again.
"This door is a good thing; it would be a shame to destroy it."
Cheng Feng silently opened his Boundless Demon Eyes.
The power of exile appeared at the center of the iron gate, and instantly, a square gap appeared in the gate, which even a bomb would have difficulty opening.
The space on the surface was revealed.
Chen Wenjin, Yang Xueli, and the other three women were already used to it; even the evil god statue in the Demon Kingdom, comparable to the Leshan Giant Buddha, had been pried off.
Not to mention this small iron gate.
