Chapter 968 Clues from the traitor

Jiang Yichun's face was so cold that it almost froze, and his jaw dropped. How did they commit suicide by taking poison?

Yao Yuxuan saw his confusion and said, "The poison is hidden in the gap between the chin and the teeth. Removing the chin will also break the poison sac."

Jing Lei looked ashamed, bowed and said, "Master, this subordinate was reckless."

Jiang Yichun waved his hand, not blaming Jing Lei, "It doesn't matter, at least one person is left alive."

These two people are obviously dead soldiers. Isn't it ironic that two dead soldiers who have been with him for seven years are still willing to sacrifice their lives for others?

Unless the two people were cultivated from the beginning and used special methods, such as drug control.

"Lightning, go check the dead one." Jiang Yichun ordered.

Lightning was the best at examining corpses. Soon, he found the parchment scroll on the dead man and handed it to Jiang Yichun.

There was nothing special about the dead traitor, and there seemed to be no clues until Lightning discovered a mark on his lower back, as if he had been hit by something.

"Master, look here." Lightning pointed at the mark. The mark had turned greenish-yellow. It looked like it had been there for several days. I'm afraid it would be completely gone in two or three days.

The mark was very strange, as if it had been stamped by something, but if you looked closely, it was not a complete pattern. Jiang Yichun thought about it and felt that he didn't seem to have a clue.

"Come down and check it carefully when you go back!" Jiang Yichun said.

Because he still needed to find the things marked on the map, Jiang Yichun could only order someone to take the unconscious traitor with him and move on. Now was not the time to interrogate him.

Soon, Jiang Yichun discovered that the reason why the two people had triggered the mechanism was because they saw a sarcophagus. He glanced at Yao Yuxuan, and both of them had unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Ancient people did not use stones as coffins for burials. It would be a bit strange if this sarcophagus really buried people.

"Opening the coffin is tantamount to tomb robbing and will harm Tianhe. Let's look for it elsewhere." Yao Yuxuan said with a frown.

Jiang Yichun nodded and ordered his men to search carefully. As a result, after a whole night, no other special things were found.

He returned to the sarcophagus, staring at the heavy thing in a daze. If it were before, he would not have the slightest hesitation. Anyway, he was single and had no worries. But now that he has a wife and children, he is unwilling to do such harming things, fearing retribution on his family.

Jinglei stood behind him and said, "Master, this is the only place we haven't checked yet. Can I ask my subordinates to open it?"

Yao Yuxuan also walked over and sighed helplessly. He understood that since Jiang Yichun had received the emperor's order, he had to open the coffin.

"Maybe it's just a show, there's no body inside at all." Yao Yuxuan squeezed out a smile, trying to make Jiang Yichun relax.

Jiang Yichun thought for a while and finally decided to open the coffin. The sarcophagus was very heavy and it would be difficult for Jing Lei to open it alone. Others immediately went up to help and finally pushed the sarcophagus open after a long time.

At this time, a stream of gas floated out from the sarcophagus. Because it was colorless and odorless, no one could notice it. Yao Yuxuan was also focused on the contents of the sarcophagus, and he actually ignored it.

In fact, everyone was on tenterhooks, fearing that they would see a rotting or dry corpse, or some zombies running out. Even though everyone present was a warrior, they were also in awe of ghosts and gods.

Fortunately, there was no corpse in the coffin. As expected, the sarcophagus was a hidden existence. There was a wooden box lying quietly in the middle of the sarcophagus. It was impossible to see what kind of material it was made of. It just felt dark and dull.

I don’t know how many years this sarcophagus and wooden box have existed. The fact that the wooden box has not rotted or been bitten by insects already shows that it is special.

Lightning put on protective gloves to get the wooden box, and then opened the wooden box carefully.

The mechanism originally expected did not appear, and there was a parchment lying in the wooden box.

Jiang Yichun had seen the piece of sheepskin roll from Batian Village, so after just one glance, he recognized that it must be one with the piece from Batian Village! It seems that this is what is marked on the map!

Just when he was happy that he could complete the task, Yao Yuxuan's face changed drastically and he shouted: "The sarcophagus is poisonous, let's get out quickly."

Everyone was shocked. Jiang Yichun asked Lightning to close the wooden box and walk out. However, as they walked, everyone noticed something was wrong. Their breathing became more and more difficult, and their feet became heavier and heavier...

As a result, the people who came in to hunt for treasure fell down one by one. Jiang Yichun took the antidote given by Bai Ruozhu and drank it, but still passed out on the ground.

Before losing consciousness, Jiang Yichun thought of Bai Ruozhu's words, saying that her antidote pill could only detoxify ordinary poisons. If the poison was more severe, it could only delay the onset of the poison, but it would be useless for more severe poisons. Now it seems that he has encountered a more powerful poison.

Just when everyone was unconscious, a figure appeared outside the cave. His eyes looked at everyone, and he couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

He didn't dare to get too close, so he finally took out a hook lock from his arms and threw it towards the wooden box next to Lightning.

His hook and lock head was specially made, but it failed to penetrate the wooden box after throwing it several times. He felt strange in his heart, so he could only hang up the wooden box and move closer to him, which took a lot of time.

Jiang Yichun felt dizzy. When he regained consciousness, he heard footsteps leaving. He hurriedly got up and quickly scanned around. His people were all there, including the captured traitor. There was only a wooden box. Gone!

Thinking of the footsteps, he rushed out like an arrow, and soon caught up with the person who took the wooden box. He threw a few copper coins at him, and the person fell to the ground with pain in his leg, holding the wooden box in his hand. Also rolled to the side. Jiang Yichun flew over and tapped his acupuncture points, and the sword was pressed against his throat.

"It is indeed you. It turns out that it was all an illusion. You are not dead at all." His voice was as cold as the cold wind. The person who was arrested had followed him for seven years, how could he not know his temper? If it hadn't been for the acupuncture points being tapped, he would have been trembling uncontrollably.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Jiang Yichun asked.

The man tightly closed his mouth and refused to speak. Jiang Yichun moved the tip of his sword and cut off his hand tendons and hamstrings. He would not show any mercy to such a traitor.

Screams echoed in the cave, and the man screamed in pain, but still refused to say a word.

Jiang Yichun didn't ask any more questions. He just took out a little poison from his body, which was given to him by Ruozhu. He poured the poison on the wounds on the man's hands and feet and said coldly: "Enjoy it."

He suddenly remembered the pattern he had just rubbed. He took out the piece of paper from his body and turned it over the traitor's painful face so that he could see the piece of paper. As expected, the man's face changed drastically and his eyes were full of panic.
