Second level of the Kuangqu.
Zhang Qishan and his group were slowly moving forward. They were still in the mine.
However, it was different from the level above. When they had just come down, they were attacked by the dark spirits again.
"Lord Zeng, something is wrong.”
Er Yue Hong, who was at the front of the team, said in a low voice while being alert of the surroundings.
"There are so many ghosts here. How did the Japanese transport the corpses out?”
"Even if we're not on the same path, the situation won't be so different. Yin spirits can move.”
Zhang Qishan looked around and observed the situation around him.
"I don't know. Maybe they found some special method.”
"Or perhaps, these ghosts were released by them.”
Everyone discussed in low voices, afraid that they would attract a large number of Yin spirits to attack them. They moved forward at a constant speed.
Lord Zeng, there's a situation ahead."
"In another twenty meters, the tunnel will be over. We found that the cave in front of us is full of corpses.”
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Zhang Qishan looked inside.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the entire cave was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Most of the corpses were Japanese soldiers, and there were also a few civilians dressed as farmers.
Most of the corpses were mutilated, as if they had been slaughtered by some ferocious monster. The blood on the ground was so thick that it almost reached the surface of the shoes.
The smell of blood rushed into everyone's nostrils.
Black-backed Sixth Brother was the first to walk in. He carefully examined the corpses and returned.
"The thing that killed him was very big, but it shouldn't be an animal. Although the corpse is incomplete, there's nothing missing.”
"I looked at the wounds on the corpse. They are all lacerations.”
After hearing his description, Qi Tie's mouth was no longer angry, and his tone was a little flustered.
"Everyone, don't forget that several seniors told us that there are qilins here.”
"Do you guys think that the thing that killed people is the Qilin?”
"Everything that Sixth Master said seems to be able to match up with Qilin.”
Everyone looked at each other and their hearts sank. They were more vigilant towards the unknown.
"Let's go in and take a look." Zhang Qishan said calmly.
"After entering, everyone should check carefully, especially the things they carry on them. See if there are any clues.”
"Adjutant, bring your personal guards and be on guard. If there is a situation, remind them at any time.”
Adjutant Zhang nodded and divided his bodyguards into two teams to guard the exits on both sides.
Only then did the others enter the cave and begin to investigate the situation separately.
Zhang Qishan seemed to be walking around in the pool of blood casually, but in fact, he was scanning everything with his Golden Eyes.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and came to the side of the corpse of a Japanese officer.
Zhang Qishan used his dagger to pry open the fallen head and picked up a bronze object.
The moment he saw it, he remembered something.
The pattern on this bronze block was a part of the qilin tattoo unique to the Zhang family.
Lord Zeng, we found something here."
Hearing the others 'calls, Zhang Qishan put the fragment into his space and suppressed his guess.
They walked over and found a sealed box.
When he opened it, he saw a sealed glass bottle with something that looked like a mushroom inside.
Toxic strain.
"Be careful. This is the thing that can extract the poison. Don't break it.”
Zhang Qishan reminded him. He looked down at the other things in the box and soon found something.
"This team should have come in to collect the strain, but they didn't expect to suddenly attack when they returned to the north.”
"Are there any clues on the corpses of those commoners?”
The cave fell silent. Zhang Qishan raised his head in confusion.
Seeing that the others were silent, Old Dog Wu said with an ugly expression.
"Lord Zeng, you'd better go and take a look yourself. It seems that there's really a traitor in our Nine Gates.”
"Just now, we found out that those people are all craftsmen. We are very familiar with a few of them. They are Fourth Brother's subordinates.”
Huh?
Zhang Qishan's killing intent flashed. If not for everyone staring at him, they would have thought it was an illusion.
He walked over with a cold face and recognized one of them at a glance.
This person was Fourth Brother's right-hand man. He had gotten many of Fourth Brother's good goods.
There was also a nice nickname in the game, Golden Hands.
"Hmph, looks like Fourth Brother is really determined to follow the Japanese. He even sent Golden Hands to help.”
"You reckless thing."
Zhang Qishan turned around and swept his sharp gaze across the people around him.
"What do you guys think? Should the Nine Gates become Eight Gates in the future, or should we add another person?”
Although Zhang Qishan had already treated Fourth Brother as a dead man, the few family heads present did not feel that something was wrong.
Qi Tiezui was the first to step forward." Lord Zeng, let's maintain the nine gates."”
"After so many years, the internal conflicts of the Nine Gates have finally decreased a lot, which means that the Nine Gates are relatively stable.”
Er Yue Hong nodded." I agree with Master Eight. Nine Gates."”
After settling the matter with a few words, Zhang Qishan put away the killing intent in his heart and calmed down before continuing.
"Alright, we'll talk about this after we get out.”
"Fifth brother, you take the lead in the following road and tell your dog to be vigilant.”
"Let's continue."
