Chapter 36 The Wang family shows up!
"What? But didn't we wear gas masks?"
"It is estimated that the corpse-scented amorphophallus can not only create illusions through smell, but also through light."
"Damn, that damn big taro. When Fatty gets out, I'm going to shoot it a few times and smash it to pieces."
"Don't be so joking. Let's think about how we should get out, right?"
"Brother Jiang, do you have any ideas?"
Jiang Hua fell into deep thought.
He didn't know how to escape from the illusion created by the corpse-scented amorphophallus, so he could only take it one step at a time.
"Maybe... we can find a way out of this city..."
"This city?"
"That's right. We have no other options now. We can only find the answer from this city."
Jiang Hua continued, "Moreover, the Corpse Amorphophallus can only arouse our inner desires and build an illusion based on our desires. However, none of us have ever seen this city."
"So, I think there must be something unusual here, maybe we can find a way out from inside."
Hu Bayi pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Brother Jiang is right. Anyway, we have no other choice now. We can only go to this ancient city and look for the answer."
So, everyone started walking forward.
While walking, observe the city's architecture.
"Uncle Chen, do you know what era this city's architecture is from?" Shirley Yang asked Professor Chen.
Professor Chen carefully observed his surroundings and looked at the buildings with a frown on his face.
"Shirley, if I'm not mistaken, this should still be the Kingdom of Jingjue. Look around here, there are decorations of the Kingdom of Jingjue."
"Houses, statues, murals... they are all religious totems of the Jingjue Kingdom."
"So I judge that this city should be the corpse-fragrant arum, a paradise constructed using illusions!"
Professor Chen said firmly.
"Heaven?"
Shirley Yang frowned, "But what's the use of this?"
Suddenly, everyone was startled.
Because in front of them, there were already a group of residents surrounding them, with angry looks on their faces and weapons in their hands.
Aiming at the members of the archaeological team.
"Oh my god, we are surrounded by them!"
The fat man exclaimed, "Is there anyone in this illusion?"
Shirley Yang said thoughtfully: "Jiang Hua, since you said this is an illusion, then they must also be illusions. If we are killed by them, can we automatically exit this illusion?"
What Shirley Yang meant was that since this was an illusion, the residents in the illusion would probably not pose any real threat to them.
In this case, it would be better to let them kill me obediently, and then use death to exit the illusion created by the corpse-scented konjac.
Jiang Hua also hesitated.
Logically speaking, Shirley Yang's speculation is indeed possible.
This is just an illusion created by the corpse amorphophallus. How could it possibly cause actual harm to people?
However, after seeing this strange city.
Jiang Hua felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
The Red Dragon Order in his hand was also getting hotter, as if reminding him that this place was very dangerous?
Does this really not cause any harm to people?
The residents around were all screaming and protesting against the archaeological team.
They were still chattering in words that no one could understand.
After Jiang Hua heard this, his pupils shrank instantly.
"These are outsiders. They are invading our holy land!"
"Capture them alive and sacrifice their souls!"
"This is an order from the Queen!"
Ghost Cave Clan!
Ghost cave text!!
Jiang Hua had mastered the Ghost Cave language and was able to understand what they were saying.
These... are all living people!
In other words...these are all wise people!
This is definitely not some simple illusion!!
Jiang Hua's heart was beating fast and he felt a strong sense of crisis. This place was too weird.
How is it possible that so many people possess wisdom in an illusion created by the corpse-scented amorphophallus?
The fat man scratched his head. "What are these people chattering about?"
Jiang Hua said with an unpleasant expression: "This is the Ghost Cave Clan. They speak Ghost Cave language. These people seem to be intelligent..."
"Wisdom? What's wrong with being wise?"
The fat man didn't care much, after all, people must have wisdom!
Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, Professor Chen and others all looked very ugly.
"Fatty, don't forget, this is an illusion created by the corpse-scented konjac. If the people in these illusions can all possess wisdom, then the corpse-scented konjac can be regarded as a god!" said Hu Bayi.
Shirley also said solemnly: "That's right, this corpse-scented arum is at most just a treasure in ancient legends. The ancients used it to prevent their tombs from being robbed."
"And it is absolutely impossible to create so many intelligent humans."
While they were talking, the people around them had already surrounded them with weapons raised, as if they wanted to capture them alive.
"Damn it, these half-human, half-ghost creatures actually want to capture me, your fat grandpa?"
"Go ahead and dream!"
The fat man pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger.
However, the expected bullet did not fire.
"Hey, hey, this damn AK, why does it fail at the critical moment?" The fat man shook the AK in his hand, but it didn't respond at all.
The same goes for Shirley Yang.
Her pistol had no effect at all. It seemed that once they entered, everyone's guns had become ineffective.
Jiang Hua said in a deep voice: "This is an illusion created by the Corpse Amorphophallus. It has the final say on the rules. Our firearms are no longer usable."
"Ah...what should we do now?"
Jiang Hua kicked a resident of the ancient city away and continued to resist the attacks from all around.
"There's no other way. We can only rely on our own strength to fight them head-on!"
The fat man gritted his teeth and he also saw the situation clearly.
It seems that we have to take action today.
With his huge body, he rushed forward and blocked the attacks of several people with his size.
"No, we still have Professor Chen and the others. We can't resist their attack at all!" Shirley Yang shouted hurriedly.
Now, all the people around have rushed up at once, but Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Chu Jian, who are not warriors, are gradually unable to withstand it.
Only Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang, who had already reached the level of a first-grade warrior, could continue to hold on.
Jiang Hua's heart sank. They hadn't even explored this ancient city yet, and now they were about to be captured.
His subconscious told him that falling into the hands of these indigenous people would not be a good thing.
But at this point, he had no choice.
I could only grit my teeth and say, "Shirley, come with me, let's escape first, and then we can save the teacher and the others!"
Jiang Hua clenched his fists and gathered all the energy in his body. These ordinary indigenous people were no match for him.
Jiang Hua fought his way out of the crowd and came to Shirley Yang's side. He hugged her waist, stepped forward, and rushed into the building next to him and disappeared...
-
Jiang Hua took Shirley Yang and went into the house next door.
The residents of the ancient city also sent some people to look for the whereabouts of Jiang Hua and the other person...
The two hid in a house.
Shirley Yang panted, "Jiang Hua, what should we do now?"
"I don't have any idea in my mind right now. I can only take it one step at a time." Jiang Hua couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What on earth is going on in this fantasy world?
He hasn't figured it out yet.
Now that Professor Chen and his colleagues have been arrested, how to rescue them has become a problem.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua suddenly had an idea.
He recalled what the indigenous residents of the ancient city had said before.
“They say we are outsiders?”
"You still say this is a holy place?"
"What holy land? Are you referring to this fantasy world?"
"There is also a queen? Could it be the Queen of Jingjue?"
"They took Professor Chen away to sacrifice his soul to the gods. What on earth is going on?"
"Can we sacrifice souls in the fantasy world?"
One question after another appeared in Jiang Hua's mind, making him feel a headache.
This is really confusing.
From the conversations among the residents of the ancient city, we can see that they are indeed wise.
So where did these intelligent members of the Ghost Cave Clan come from?
Jiang Hua and his companions were indeed on the stone beam of the ghost cave before, but as their eyes blurred, they came to this strange world.
This shows that this is indeed a fantasy world.
Suddenly, a terrible thought arose in Jiang Hua's mind.
Could it be that... these members of the Ghost Cave Clan in the fantasy world are the souls of those mummies above the Ghost Cave?
When this thought came to his mind, Jiang Hua was shocked, and then he felt that this was simply impossible.
The mummies at the top of the ghost cave are all from the Western Han Dynasty, which is more than two thousand years ago.
Even if it was their souls, how could they have lived for more than two thousand years and still be alive in this world?
Jiang Hua put this thought behind him and began to think about how to rescue Hu Bayi and the others.
Suddenly, Shirley Yang's doubtful voice sounded.
"Jiang Hua, come and see what this is?"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Jiang Hua turned his head to look at Shirley Yang, only to see that she was holding a black backpack with some equipment and supplies on it.
"This is……"
Jiang Huafu suddenly came to his mind and remembered the corpses of the men in black that he encountered at the foot of Mount Zaglama.
These men in black all have the mark of the phoenix on their shoulders, which means they are all members of the Wang family.
The backpack in Shirley Yang's hand at this moment was exactly the same as the backpacks of the corpses at the foot of Mount Zaglama.
There is even a Luoyang shovel on it.
At first glance, it is tomb-robbing equipment.
"Shirley, where did you find this backpack?" Jiang Hua asked in a serious tone.
"It was found in the house." Shirley Yang pointed to a corner of the house.
There was a gleam of brilliance in Jiang Hua's eyes.
After they arrived at the ancient city of Jingjue, they did not find the whereabouts of the Wang family. Jiang Hua thought that all the members of the Wang family had died at the foot of Mount Zaglama.
Unexpectedly, they also came to this ancient city world.
What is the purpose of the Wang family?
The Wang family’s backpacks appeared in the house.
What does this represent?
Have all the Wang family members been captured by the residents of the ancient city?
Or...is this the backpack that the Wang family deliberately discarded in order to lighten their weight when they were fleeing?
