After Liu Chengyang and Yue Zhenqiao exchanged passwords and confirmed that they were not demons, the group entered the cave to escape the summer heat.
The deeper parts of the cave were several degrees cooler than the entrance. Even if they took off their talismans and didn't use any heat-avoidance methods, they wouldn't feel too hot.
"Although it's strange, it's good that the armored truck is okay... At least it shows that the guys who caused this series of disappearances are probably only interested in living people," Yue Zhenqiao paused and said, "It's likely aimed at us, a group of living people... After all, many demons are only interested in the blood of the living."
Wu San also echoed, " chief escort is right. After all, there have been rumors of various strangeness in this Chenjiabao for a long time. Before this, there were many escort teams and merchant teams that lost people, and many were even empty-handed... Perhaps, the lord of this Chenjiabao and the Chen clan leader have secretly raised some demon!"
Lin Yu shook her head, interrupting the two: "No, perhaps the hidden mastermind is only interested in living people, but definitely not because of the reason that ' demons are interested in blood'."
"If that's the case, it should attack the things inside the armored truck instead!"
Because... the things inside are also alive!
Moreover, it has a huge attraction to demons. Through Sanyang's reaction and desire, Lin Yu can easily guess that it is a natural instinctive desire for blood.
So... Yue Zhenqiao's reasoning is exactly the opposite.
"Whatever is causing this series of disappearances, whether it's demon or something else, at least it doesn't crave blood. This guy's disappearances may have other purposes," Lin Yu said coldly, "And if its ultimate goal is blood, not touching the goods in the armored truck only has one possibility... It can't move the remains you're escorting for the time being."
Although the mastermind behind the disappearance of many guards is extremely strange, the remains in the armored truck is not to be outdone.
Yue Zhenqiao didn't insist on his own opinion after hearing what Lin Yu said.
Being able to live in the Prison Mountain Realm for so long and be a chief escort for so long, Yue Zhenqiao relies not on his barely third-rate Kung Fu, but on his extensive knowledge and experience.
Right now, this female knight-errant is much stronger than him, so her analysis is naturally more reliable than the conclusions he draws.
" heroine, in your opinion... what should we do if it's the former, and what should we do if it's the latter?"
Lin Yu directly opened her mouth: "It's all the same - Master Wu San's analysis just now was also wrong, but at least part of it is correct."
"In any case, the strangeness here is inseparable from Chenjiabao, we still have to find someone from Chenjiabao to ask clearly."
Yue Zhenqiao was surprised: "Won't this alert the enemy?"
And Lin Yu didn't support going to the residents of Chenjiabao just now, but now she has changed her mind, there is a reason.
Because Lao Zheng reported.
"Boss, I caught the guy who scouted you when you went out just now, hiding in the basement of a house in the middle of this fortress... It's one of the few survivors in this fortress, want to go take a look?"
"The other party's spirit is very strong, but the state is very weak, should be a master in poor condition."
So, Lin Yu confidently answered Yue Zhenqiao.
"It won't alert the enemy, because I sensed a special aura just now."
Lin Yu said, Yue Zhenqiao was still cautious.
"Okay, heroine, if you want to go, I, Yue, will naturally accompany you, but is this possibly a trap? Should we go back and call more masters?"
Lin Yu shook her head.
"No need," Lin Yu believed in Lao Zheng's perception and her own strength, "Calling more people will instead alert the enemy."
After finishing speaking, Lin Yu also paused and said again.
"In any case, Yue chief escort, the armored truck is temporarily safe here, and it will be safe in the future, I suggest that Liu guard and Wu guard also follow..."
Yue Zhenqiao was a little hesitant this time: "This... is it okay not to watch the goods?"
"Even if heroine you say that it's probably okay, but losing the goods is a big deal, Yue dare not gamble."
Lin Yu looked at him and sighed.
This Yue chief escort is indeed a seasoned oldJianghu(江湖: world), but besides being a little weak, his biggest shortcoming is that he cares too much about the broken goods he's transporting!
Even a bit inflexible.
However, it's not difficult to convince the other party.
"If your entire escort team of thirty-one people all die here, it's also considered losing the goods," Lin Yu's tone was a little tougher, "If you leave Liu Chengyang and Wu San here, this demon can make the two of them disappear at once... If something really happens, this demon that you don't even know how it strikes, can you stop it?"
Lin Yu said, Yue Zhenqiao finally understood the priority.
" heroine is right, Yue is short-sighted... Then let's set off immediately!"
Yue Zhenqiao said, Lin Yu shook her head again, rejecting Yue Zhenqiao's suggestion.
"No hurry, let me see if there are any clues left near this cave... Liu Chengyang, where were you sitting when you felt panic?"
"Probably here."
Liu Chengyang pointed to a protruding rock on the outer edge of the cave, which looked like a naturally formed long stone bench.
Lin Yu walked over and observed.
The rock and its surroundings weren't very dusty, just accumulated some gravel, and some broken and old spider web remnants were attached to the surface of the rock.
Carefully observing the accumulated sand, you can see many fresh traces added.
Although the marks on the ground are a bit messy, probably because Liu Chengyang messed up here when he went back and forth, but if you look closely, you can still see that there used to be three people sitting here.
Lin Yu sat in the middle position above, leaning slightly back against the rock cave wall.
The stone wall was dry and rough. As Lin Yu gently leaned against it, some sand grains slowly slipped from the gaps, making a subtle sound.
Lin Yu exhaled. The earthy smell in the cave was mixed with a faint bloody smell, but it shouldn't be from fighting or something.
There were no signs of struggle here... Lin Yu could imagine that Liu Chengyang and the other two should have been sitting here looking at the hot sunlight outside the cave, watching the livestock and armored truck, guarding against anyone approaching.
Maybe they were chatting, maybe they were resting in silence, in short, the three of them were close together...
Then, suddenly, two people disappeared immediately.
Unlike a large room of people in the stone house, two of the three people disappeared here. Even if his cognition was instantly modified, Liu Chengyang immediately realized that something was wrong and generated a lot of fear - these emotions remained.
Although Liu Chengyang couldn't explain how these emotions were generated, he immediately forgot the source of his emotions that felt wrong.
But fear is like this, the more rootless it is, the more it will make people lose control.
Finally, driven by fear... Liu Chengyang shot that signal arrow.
