I collapsed to the ground in an instant, thinking constantly in my mind what happened? How could I become like this?

I hugged my head and scratched it hard a few times, thinking about whether someone had some mask on me. However, the more I scratched my face, the more fluff there was, and I was so anxious that I wanted to hit the wall.

Just as I was in a state of collapse, Xiaoqian shook my shoulder hard and shouted, "Brother Chenfeng, wake up quickly, something big happened!"

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a mess in the cave. When I touched my face, nothing changed.

It turned out to be a dream! I held my forehead and wiped the cold sweat for a long time, and finally took a breath.

But before I could recover, Xiaoqian pulled me up again.

"Wake up! Something happened!"

I stood up helplessly and looked in the direction she pointed. Not far away, Professor Wu and Uncle Long seemed to be looking for something, and their expressions were very anxious.

When Professor Wu saw that I woke up, he waved and said, "Come here quickly, the army's body is gone."

What? The army's body disappeared? I suddenly felt shocked and thought to myself, was it really a zombie?

I quickly walked to the mortal place in front of me, and Uncle Long said in horror: "I was there before going to bed last night, but I disappeared when I woke up in the morning. What's going on?"

I saw Qin Xuanling sitting alone in the corner, as if thinking about something, so I walked over and asked him what he thought about this.

He looked up at me and said calmly: "I haven't figured it out yet, but it shouldn't be a zombie."

Jin Hu was beside him, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, and kept shouting: "It's so obvious that it's not a zombie! This is a zombie! Who is going to move the zombie to play with?"

Qin Xuanling said: "Maybe, the army's corpse was controlled by the Ghost Face Spider."

Everyone felt it was incredible when they heard this. We have seen the possession of evil ghosts, but they always felt that it sounded nonsense when controlled by the ghost face spider.

Qin Xuanling knew that we didn't believe it, so he turned around and asked me: "Do you still remember the grimace spiders you stepped on to death? I suspect that it is very likely that the three big grimace spiders lay eggs in the army's belly."

I thought about it, the little ghost-faced spider that I trampled to death all came out of Dajun's nose and mouth, and when we carried him back, we never stayed anywhere. Is it really as Qin Xuanling said that Dajun's belly had been laid long ago?

Jinhu retorted: "How is this possible? The human belly is not a spider's nest, so how can it lay eggs?"

Qin Xuanling said: "Don't believe it. A long time ago, there was a method of hatching insects in the witchcraft in western Hunan. I think these ghost-faced spiders are not ordinary people."

I agree with this. The three big ghost-faced spiders are surprisingly huge, but they are very agile. In nature, no animal except genetic mutations seems to have evolved to such a level that is contrary to common sense. If Qin Xuanling had not been this time, we would have become egg beds long ago.

Uncle Long interrupted again: "But these ghost-faced spiders are not poisonous insects. How could they hatch so many young spiders in such a short time without artificial control?"

Qin Xuanling seemed too lazy to explain anymore, so he threw a sentence to us: "Believe it or not, this is my judgment anyway."

To be safe, I found the shotgun and slapped it on my body. If this is true, it would be a potential danger. I was a little worried about being a little unprepared.

After some discussion, everyone decided to find another place to camp.

In the words of Jinhu, you can no longer live if you lie there when you have been cheated by a dead person. It’s evil!

In fact, we are afraid that the army will come back. Now that he is neither a human nor a ghost, it is hard to predict whether he will turn the gun to cause trouble for us next.

Although we each brought not much luggage, the supplies and equipment really brought a lot of burden to everyone.

After a busy morning, we finally camped on the shade of a slope, which was not far from the cave, and on the right side of the volcano.

Qin Xuanling's words just now made me feel a little worried. Those ghost-faced spiders are so weird, I'm afraid they will be a big trouble in the future.

Although I had made sufficient mental preparations before coming, I still felt that all this happened too quickly and suddenly, which caught me off guard.

Now our progress must be accelerated. Since we met those ghost birds, we have been constantly surprised. If we don’t complete the task as soon as possible, it will only become more and more troublesome.

More importantly, our food is only enough for a week, and the boat is broken, so we may face many challenges when leaving.

After the heavy rain yesterday, it was muddy outside. Everyone suffered a lot when moving the camp just now.

I changed into my last clean clothes in my small tent, thinking that there are still many days to endure, and I'm afraid I'll be very disappointed next.

Siyan stood on a high place and observed for a long time, and came back and said to us: "It will rain in the future, so let's hurry up and go into the jungle."

Professor Wu naturally agreed. The most urgent task now is to determine the location of the ancient tomb as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be.

After simply bringing some equipment, we went straight down the mountain, and we could directly enter the center of the jungle from here.

After walking a few steps, Jinhu suddenly said, "Damn it, are there any other ghost-faced spiders?"

I turned my head and glared at him fiercely. What I needed most at this time was to stabilize everyone's emotions. I could not do anything like him.

The jungle was full of burnt tree trunks. We searched for a long time before we found the place where the wooden signs were buried yesterday.

The exposed part of the wooden sign has been burned to ashes. Jinhu and I dug out the part buried in the soil, and the remaining symbols are still well preserved.

Professor Wu said cautiously: "Everyone should be careful. I don't know if the red-haired beasts will appear yesterday, so don't have any more accidents."

Uncle Long showed off the machete in his hand and took the initiative to take on the alert task with bodyguard Awei.

After studying for a long time, Professor Wu and Jin Hu were confused about this place. Logically speaking, the ancient tomb was either built on the mountain or flat on the ground, and it was never built in the jungle.

At this time, Qin Xuanling was looking at the wooden sign and was ecstatic, as if he was cracking the meaning of these symbols above.

Professor Wu leaned over and asked him if he had any clues. He said, "The symbols of Guigu Sect are equivalent to words and are used as information transmission between this sect. I learned some of this symbols when I was a child, but I forgot a lot of the content. I will try to crack them."

I learned it when I was a child? Could it be that the Longmen Taoist has any connection with Guigumen?

Thinking that when Qin Xuanling first joined the team, we had no idea what was going on, so we knew nothing about his background except Professor Wu and Han Sen who brought him.

But this person's skills are indeed not to be underestimated. From the experiences of these two days, I can see that he is better than any of us in many ways.

Just as I was thinking about it, Qin Xuanling suddenly said, "I seem to understand the mystery above."

I hurriedly asked, "What have you found?"

He waved his hand and said, "I wasn't sure that everything was a hypothesis before. I just found that something was mentioned above."

Then he explained to me that when he first saw this sign yesterday, he did not look closely. When we dug out the part that was not burned by fire, he suddenly found that the symbol on it seemed to be an epitaph, which means that the owner of the tomb was named "Chen Yanshu", and he was a heretic from Guigumen.

The heretic means a disciple outside the sect, not a formal disciple. However, the Guigu Sect can bury him here and send taming animals to guard the tomb. It can be seen that this person's status in the Guigu Sect should be quite low.

When Professor Wu heard this, his eyes lit up and said excitedly: "If we want to find the tomb owner, we are called Chen Yanshu!"

As he said that, he took out a stack of information from his backpack, all of which he had shown me at his house the day before he left.

Professor Wu pointed to one of the yellowed research reports and said: "Look, my tutor wrote clearly on this. Xu Fu's apprentice is Chen Yanshu. The tomb we are looking for is his!"

This news immediately made everyone excited, and the haze that had been shrouded on their heads for several days was swept away.

Professor Wu asked Qin Xuanling if he had any other discoveries, such as where the entrance to the cemetery was.

However, Qin Xuanling said that the symbols on the wooden sign only narratively talked about Chen Yanshu, and the exposed part was burned by fire, so he could not guess the complete information.

But there are a few meditations in the last paragraph, which vaguely seems to imply a certain rule, similar to the five elements step method.

But he gestured for a long time and felt that if he followed this mantra, he would circle around the wooden sign without any special meaning.
