Chapter 1892: Strange old man! Go dig a hole and bury someone!

~7 min read 1,290 words

The First Archaeological Team had also happened to walk to that homestay, and the homestay's gate was already tightly shut. These things naturally couldn't stump Su Nan and the others.

If it were the First Archaeological Team facing such a situation, they would still politely talk things out, but Su Nan didn't have such a good mood right now.

Because the temperature along the way had already reached minus thirty-plus degrees and was about to approach the critical point of minus forty degrees.

So Su Nan directly let her people kick open the gate. Inside the door, an old man stood quietly, his eyelids lifting to glance at the person who kicked the door open, and he shook his head.

The reaction of this old man who appeared was simply too calm. In fact, from a normal logical perspective, it was very late, and someone directly kicked the door open to enter.

This absolutely did not conform to logic, not to mention that it wasn't the tourist season now. Since he was running a homestay, he should have known this.

And this location was also located outside the border; it was clearly a case of someone coming with ill intent. As long as one wasn't a fool, one could see these things.

But this old man didn't have the slightest reaction, as if all of them were looking for death, or even if they were really in a situation unfavorable to himself, the old man didn't seem to care.

Su Nan and Wu Tianzhen noticed this point, but in their logic, neither of them cared about this matter. Instead, Wu Ya was hugging her arms.

At this moment, her full-hearted doubts had even climbed into the realm of suspicion. Zhang Lin had reminded them before that their situation on the outskirts of the Cloud Top Palace would not be as smooth as they imagined.

If the Cloud Top Palace were really that easy to reach, the things within it wouldn't hide so many secrets. This was something Wu Ya knew in advance.

And now Zhang Lin wasn't at the Crescent Hotel yet. Everything was based on Wu Ya's judgment, and Wu Ya understood that since Zhang Lin hadn't given too many reminders about subsequent matters before.

This meant that Zhang Lin believed they had the ability to solve many sudden troubles. However, even though she thought of this, Wu Ya was now more cautious than anyone else.

On one hand, she was worried that the overall situation of the First Archaeological Team would fall into an imbalanced state, and on the other hand, Su Nan's group cooperating with such people was sometimes a double-edged sword.

Just as Wu Tianzhen had said before, he didn't have the habit of seeking skin from a tiger, but the reason for cooperating with the other party all stemmed from Zhang Lin's orders.

Since Zhang Lin's orders had been conveyed, Wu Tianzhen naturally wouldn't refuse. Everything had to be done according to Zhang Lin's instructions; this was certain. Only after understanding everything did Wu Tianzhen facilitate the current situation.

And this old man didn't seem to be in a hurry to speak; instead, he held a lantern in his hand and walked up the stairs silently. The next moment, the person among Su Nan's group who kicked the door open directly said: "Old man, find us a few rooms."

The old man continued to walk up, and a low voice came from his mouth: "There are plenty of rooms, stay wherever you like, as long as you aren't afraid of death. Also, let me tell you one thing: don't go to the forest ahead, otherwise you will all die."

The old man just carried the lantern and walked all the way to the second floor. Everyone was in a state of bewilderment; no one knew why the old man said these words.

Nor did they know what would happen in the forest. At this time, the person who kicked the door snorted coldly and said four words: "Playing the mystery."

In his view, this was a habit of local homestays; perhaps they were currently in a black shop. At this time, the bullet screen was filled with noise.

【Why do I have the feeling of watching a horror novel!】

【This isn't a novel, this is a movie, right? Too strange.】

【I still remember a movie that was about a villa in a lonely mountain, and then all kinds of weird things happened.】

【They are an archaeological team; it's normal to encounter weird things.】

【You seem like that silly sculpture; are they in a tomb now?】

【No!!!】

【Then that's it. If they encounter many weird things in this place, then what do you think the Cloud Top Palace will be like?】

【Don't connect this place with the Cloud Top Palace; this is just the outskirts.】

【That's right, how to enter the Cloud Top Palace, or even just finding the Cloud Top Palace, Mr. Zhang hasn't given instructions yet.】

【Just watch quietly. I always feel that there must be something here, and that old man doesn't look like he's lying.】

In fact, if most people were as clear-headed as the person who sent the last bullet screen, perhaps the subsequent things wouldn't have happened.

And for Celestial Master Zhang, it was the same. He was the only one who didn't enter the door at this time.

He couldn't help but look at the path the First Archaeological Team had to take tomorrow morning, which was the dense forest ahead. If they took a detour, they would definitely be going in the wrong direction.

Not knowing where to go next, it was necessary to pass through that dense forest to reach the road that truly led to the Three Saint Mountains.

But at this juncture, Celestial Master Zhang always felt something was wrong. A voice came faintly from the room, and he also heard the sentence the old man just said!

Celestial Master Zhang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, then his figure flashed, disappearing into the snow, and he walked toward the dense forest.

At this time, Wu Tianzhen and Fatty discovered that Celestial Master Zhang hadn't followed them in. As they looked at each other, they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Although Celestial Master Zhang was habitually prone to disappearing, now the mountains were sealed by heavy snow. Under such circumstances, where had this person gone again?

Everyone couldn't help but look confused, but no one felt nervous, because the person who left was Celestial Master Zhang. Wu Tianzhen and Fatty were already used to such things.

They knew that no matter how extreme the environment was, even if he were alone, nothing could threaten his life. This was a habit formed over a long time, and this habit had never changed.

The two just smiled helplessly, then looked at each other and didn't say anything else, because they saw each other's emotions in each other's eyes; it was a kind of detachment.

Through a corner of the live stream lens, they saw Celestial Master Zhang enter the heavy snow.

And at this time, the lantern-carrying old man on the second floor also saw a black shadow dart into the dense forest. He sighed, then carried the lantern and walked down the stairs again, saying: "The one who entered the dense forest before was one of your people, right?"

Wu Tianzhen and Fatty looked at each other again, knowing that the old man must be talking about Celestial Master Zhang. However, they didn't avoid it this time and nodded slowly.

The old man said: "Go dig a hole, if he can still have a breath left to come out!"
