反正他们得跑,所以陈洛决定再试一次,找两个有用的脑子.
王室的大脑可能拥有他不知道的力量.
"埋葬地点?那里确实有出口,但我白天去查了一下,有士兵把守着,"陈老三说.
"你带我去吧.剩下的我就想办法.
陈洛现在想的是积累.在死去的皇室成员中,可能有真正的专家.这世上的潜力很高,单靠自己很难达到巅峰.马奎子以为自己是个天才,但只有陈洛知道,他根本不是天才.
从他练习武术的第一天起,他就知道自己的极限.
能这么快就掌握黑虎拳,全都多亏了他心中的"朋友"——一百多人——帮助了他.
在这些"朋友"中,有马奎兹认为他是"天才".
不知名的江湖流浪者的大脑已经如此有用,所以皇室成员的大脑必须更加出色.如果不出意外,保护皇室成员的卫兵一定毫不逊色!至少,他一定会找到一个真正的天才,保证获胜.这是他必须做的事情.
"好吧."
陈老三没有再多问什么.
留下来等待死亡绝对不是一种选择.上面的大人物不听他们的借口.如果有人无理取闹地追赶他们,叔侄俩都会白白死去.陈老三不是那种把命赌在别人的怜悯上的人,陈洛也不是.
于是,叔侄俩很快决定逃跑.
拿起已经准备好的背包,陈老三推开门,环顾四周确定附近没有人,然后迅速向外城跑去.陈洛紧随其后,从未落后一步.
外面一片漆黑.
已经是夜里的三更了,再过一会儿,黎明就要破晓了.
很快,叔侄俩就来到了城墙的拐角处.
陈老三知道城墙上有个缺口,他们可以离开这座城市,所以他带着陈洛去了那里.当他们到达时,该地区睡着一些无家可归的人.看到他们靠近后,无家可归者没有问任何问题.他们只是翻了个身,继续睡觉.
夜间活动通常涉及盗墓者或盗贼,住在城市内的无家可归者知道夜间的潜规则.
"我们走吧."
陈老三一头扎进去,迅速从墙上的缝隙中爬了出来.
离开城市后,陈老三并没有放慢脚步,靠着记忆朝着他们埋葬尸体的荒山岭的方向走去.
叔侄俩行动迅速,一路上,他们没有遇到任何意外事件.很快,他们就来到了荒芜的山脊.
"就在前方."
陈老三迅速评估了方向,确认了他们的位置.
"三叔,你说的皇体在哪里?"
陈洛环顾四周,却没有看到埋葬地点.比起陈老三等经验丰富的手,陈洛在埋葬尸体方面还是相当缺乏经验的.
"这边."
陈老三领着侄子飞快地走了过来,拂去松针,很快就找到了他们藏令牌的地方.
掘墓人都有自己独特的方法,所以不用担心被发现.
陈老三从包里拿出一把金属铲子,挖了好几下.果然,他发现了一个硬令牌.陈洛拿起令牌仔细检查,注意到上面没有任何机关——只是一个普通的身份徽章.
与此同时,陈老三继续挖掘,很快就挖出了那具特殊的皇家尸体.
几天过去了,尸体已经开始腐烂.它一被挖出来,空气中就弥漫着一股强烈的,令人作呕的恶臭.即使是来自掘墓人家庭的叔侄也觉得难以忍受.
"小心,这具尸体很可能在死前被毒死了."
Seeing Chen Luo jump into the pit and reach for the corpse, Chen Laosan immediately warned him.
"I know."
As he spoke, Chen Luo took out a pair of deer-hide gloves from his sleeve and put them on.
He gently touched the body, and as soon as his palm made contact, the familiar interface immediately appeared in his mind.
'Contact with the deceased's brainwaves, damage level 99%, do you wish to read?'
"Is it really this serious?"
Chen Luo frowned.
The degree of decay in this royal corpse was worse than he had expected; almost only the last bit of it remained intact. But since he was already here, he naturally couldn't let it go. Chen Luo sifted through his consciousness, released two more useless ones, then grabbed the royal corpse and began to 'borrow' its brain.
A wave of energy flowed from his palm into his body, quickly entering Chen Luo's sea of consciousness.
As the new brainwaves merged, all the 'brains' Chen Luo had stored in his consciousness dissipated. This newly introduced brain immediately took the central position, becoming the most valuable one among the brainwaves Chen Luo had mastered.
Chen Luo was greatly surprised. He hadn't expected this brain, with a 99% damage level, to still possess such extraordinary qualities. It was clear that the person it had belonged to wasn't ordinary. He couldn't help but wonder how Wei Gonggong and the others had managed to kill him.
"Xiao Luo, have you thought of a plan?"
His third uncle's voice came from behind, interrupting Chen Luo's thoughts.
He also knew that now wasn't the time to study the new brainwaves. Suppressing his curiosity, he began to think about their escape route.
"Which direction is the checkpoint?"
Chen Luo decided to go take a look first. If there were no strong opponents or if there were only a few, he thought he might try to break through.
"Since Wei Gonggong is already dead, killing a few more guards won't make much of a difference. As the saying goes, 'More debts, less worry' or 'The more lice, the less itchy.' It's just like that."
"Follow me."
Chen Laosan packed away the items in his bag and led Chen Luo to the checkpoint.
The place they hid was quite far away, at a sharp corner.
From there, they had a clear view of the checkpoint, where they could see the patrolling guards through the torches. About twenty people had gathered there, each holding a weapon, clearly not easy to deal with.
'This is a bit tricky.'
Chen Luo assessed the geographical position and the number of people, and decisively gave up on the idea of charging in. Five or six might have been possible, but more than twenty people couldn't be killed all at once. If there were archers hiding in the shadows, they could end up in trouble here.
"Third uncle, you wait here. I'll go check the area nearby."
Leaving behind a sentence, Chen Luo changed direction, intending to check the cliffside over there.
The barren mountain ridge was like a natural wall, and aside from the checkpoint guarded by the soldiers, the rest of the area was filled with sheer cliffs, making it almost impossible to escape. Chen Luo checked several points, only to find that the paths were all blocked. Looking down, there was a bottomless abyss.
The poisonous mist surrounded it, and the bottom could not be seen at all.
In the low-lying areas without a checkpoint, it was nearly impossible to escape directly from here.
After taking a round, Chen Luo returned to his original position. When he saw him coming back, Chen Laosan immediately stood up.
"There's another way we can try."
After sitting down, before Chen Laosan could speak, Chen Luo主动 said.
By this time, it was already faintly light outside.
If they delayed any further, it would become dangerous.
Wei Gonggong had been missing for so long, and those in the shadows might have already started moving. As the ones responsible for silencing Wei Gonggong, the uncle and nephew were definitely the prime suspects.
"what method?"
"find someone."
"who?"
"people who make a living in the mountains."
on the way back, chen luo truly thought of an escape plan that seemed like a way to ascend to the heavens.
"Although it was a bit risky, he felt that with his skills, he could give it a try. If breaking through by force didn't work, then he'd have to take some risks. By now, things in Qingya County were probably already in chaos. With no way out and unable to escape the checkpoint, the only option left was to seek help from others.
Just like their familiarity with Qingya County, the most familiar people in this area of the barren mountain range were definitely the bandits nearby.
Just because they couldn't find a way out, it didn't mean the bandits couldn't either.
If they didn't have this ability, they would have been wiped out by the imperial government long ago."
