The red-haired monster withstood the bullets, its steps slowly approaching the group.
Though its speed wasn't fast, it couldn't be helped that it had long legs.
"Quick, quick, speed up."
Professor Li's already sluggish legs moved as if they had been greased, his pace quickening.
The archaeology experts also picked up their pace.
The group soon put some distance between themselves and the red-haired monster.
The last time the red-haired monster had let Zhang Tian escape, it had been upset. Now that it was happening again, it found it difficult to accept.
"Kaka."
With an angry roar, the red-haired monster crouched down, then rolled along the ground like a snowball.
"Are you a dog?"
Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Such a maneuver!
"Professor Li, have you ever seen anything like this?"
The expert team was somewhat perplexed.
Had it evolved?
"According to scientific investigation, this type of Zongzi retains some consciousness before death, its bodily movements being involuntary. I believe this general must have enjoyed rolling around when alive."
Professor Li said this as they turned into a corner.
Everyone: "..."
This speculation didn't seem entirely unreasonable.
Following the map given by Zhang Tian, they fled madly and finally stopped in front of a valve.
As if fearing something, the red-haired monster did not advance. It rolled to a stop and stood up.
Looking at the valve not far away, it hesitated to take another step forward.
The vengeful spirits inside were very powerful.
Consider that after being experimented on for so long, accumulating so much resentment, such a fierce ghost was something it could not contend with.
That kind of bone-deep hatred and resentment would make even a prince detour.
Not to mention, the hundreds or thousands of vengeful spirits floating in the formaldehyde.
"Huh? Why isn't it coming?"
The middle-aged expert was somewhat bewildered.
"Old Liu, are you a masochist? It's good that it's not coming, saving us the trouble of escaping."
One expert said speechlessly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their gazes falling on the valve.
"This is a military valve. When opened, it will suck all the air out of the room. There must be something unusual inside."
The captain said, his voice not loud, looking at the valve.
"The map says this place is a must-see, so we have to go in and take a look."
Professor Li said, and the others hesitated.
After all, Zongzi were appearing these days.
Who knew what was inside.
However, Professor Li didn't think so. Since Zhang Tian had marked it, it might indeed hold value.
"Since they've marked it, and we're following their map, there's no harm in looking."
Professor Li insisted.
The others had nothing else to say. The captain and another soldier heaved the iron valve.
Soon, after a hissing sound, hot air emerged from the gap in the door.
As the door opened, the red-haired monster left.
It felt a sense of gnawing unease.
"It's open. No, what is this smell? And why is it so cold inside?"
Fang Ling said, and everyone covered their noses.
"It should be formaldehyde. But wait, why formaldehyde here? Isn't this a military base?"
At that moment, countless experts felt a jolt.
The Kwantung Army was notorious. It wasn't unusual for a military base to have a laboratory.
"Let's go in and see."
With that, everyone rushed in.
Upon seeing the scene inside, several team members vomited.
And seeing the people inside, with their eyes wide open and dying with regrets, made the captain's eyes red and swollen.
Some had hands joined to horses, and some even had three heads. Clearly, this was hell.
"Hiss, gulp."
Professor Li stared for a long time, took a breath, and swallowed back the urge to vomit.
"I finally understand why he marked this place as a must-see. So this is what happened. Beasts!"
Professor Li's eyes were red and swollen, his whole body trembling.
"Damn it, they harmed so many people and then tried to cover it up..."
For a moment, the group didn't know what to say.
Some students who had just graduated were already squatting on the ground, crying with their heads in their hands.
After a long while.
"We will take them out. They are the evidence. Their blood feud will be avenged."
The captain said, clenching his fist.
"Sigh..."
A thousand words turned into a single sigh.
"Let's report back to our superiors. They are all heroes."
Professor Li murmured, and everyone nodded. Looking at the containers, the fear they had felt facing the red-haired monster had long since vanished.
The group stayed there for a long time.
At the same time, they temporarily suppressed their anger.
Because Zhang Tian's map was far from over.
"We promise you, we will make them pay the price, and you will also be laid to rest."
Professor Li murmured to the containers.
After Professor Li finished speaking, the surroundings no longer felt as cold.
Then, the group looked at the map and continued forward.
At this moment, while the experts were moving forward,
it was already afternoon for Zhang Tian. He had eaten something, and his Qimen Dunjia had a new discovery.
He found that Qimen Dunjia not only had the function of fortune-telling but also the function of forming formations.
"If I can find special materials and set up a formation, I might even be able to invoke heavenly thunder."
Zhang Tian thought of a technique in Qimen Dunjia.
With the Qilin formation, heavenly thunder could be invoked. However, such a formation was difficult to set up and not something Zhang Tian was considering at the moment.
"Qimen Dunjia, the 'Qi' in it refers to the three lucky stars Yi, Bing, and Ding; the 'Men' refers to the eight gates such as Xiu, Kai, Si, and Jing; and 'Dunjia' refers to the hidden Liujia."
"If I want to tell fortunes, I'll need a nine-palace disk."
Zhang Tian thought to himself.
But where could he get such a thing?
Unless he robbed the tombs of ancient strategists.
But those people were all extremely cunning.
Take Zhuge Liang, for example. No one knows where his tomb is to this day, let alone others.
"Forget it, I won't talk about it for now. Fatty has something to discuss with me this afternoon, so I'll go see him."
Zhang Tian put these thoughts aside.
He had gained some understanding of Qimen Dunjia.
When he gets a compass later, he'll be set. At that point, Zhang Tian would directly become Zhang the Great Deceiver.
He got up, tidied himself, said goodbye to his mother, and then Zhang Tian set out from the antique shop.
"This kid is such a pain. Now he doesn't even guard the shop and just plays all day. It's all your fault, what kind of son did you raise!"
Zhang Yufei complained as he watched Zhang Tian leave.
"What? You're blaming me? Are you planning on not sleeping tonight?"
As she spoke, Zhang Yufei swallowed.
"Uh, my dear wife, I was wrong. Our son is the best. He inherited his father's genes, handsome and capable. Uh... tonight, I think we don't need to till the fields either..."
Liang Xueqin looked at Zhang Yufei in front of her and snorted.
She turned and left. Zhang Yufei's expression was uncertain.
Zhang Tian walked very fast. He greeted people he knew along the way.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the Siheyuan.
Hu Bayi and Fatty were living increasingly comfortable lives, especially Fatty, who was happily eating large grapes one after another.
"Eh, boss is here! Come, Fatty has a rocking chair here, it's very comfortable. This thing is truly a luxury item for the rich. Fatty is experiencing the feeling of sitting on the dragon throne."
Fatty's eyes turned into crescents as he saw Zhang Tian arrive.
Zhang Tian rolled his eyes at him and casually sat down in the chair.
"Fatty, why did you call me here?"
Zhang Tian asked impatiently.
"Heh heh, boss, I heard there's news from Big Gold Tooth. And Fatty took some gold, jade pendants, etc., from a tomb and plans to sell them to him."
Fatty chuckled.
This guy was shrewd. He knew that if he went alone, Big Gold Tooth would rip him off.
So he called Zhang Tian to avoid being cheated.
Zhang Tian took a breath. This fatty, despite his apparent foolishness, was sometimes quite clever.
