Chapter 21: The Unknown Land
After a while, the gravel residue and dust calmed down, and Ao Zhan and the others broadened their horizons and saw the situation at the top clearly.
This hole is completely natural, and it doesn't seem to have been forcibly blasted out at all. The cave is pitch black and secluded, only one or two meters of the entrance of the cave can be seen clearly, and there is red liquid dripping from the mouth of the wall, and the sour smell is compelling.
"This thing is weird, don't touch it!" Lei Tong admonished solemnly.
The group of warriors immediately retreated, preoccupied. One person was only looking at the top, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, and accidentally stepped on a drop.
"Ahh
It can be seen that smoke immediately rises from his right foot, which has stepped on blood, and a burning smell of burning flesh spreads, but in the blink of an eye, a complete leg is rotting away.
"Help me, save me!" the man yelled hysterically, rolling and struggling on the ground. I grabbed the ankle of another warrior.
"Ahh
"Elder, save me!" the warrior swooped towards Lei Tong with a look of longing for life.
"Hmph!" Lei Tong frowned and snorted coldly, turned over his hand and slapped his sword, cutting off his calf with an air blade, which can be regarded as saving his life.
The warrior's face turned red, and he hugged the broken leg hoarsely, in pain.
Ao Zhan retreated, while probing the change in Lei Tong's expression, he suddenly found that Lei Tong was gentle on the surface, but in fact, he was more ruthless than his brother Lei Dian, and he was a real ruthless character.
"Don't retreat, there's not much blood left, and you're ready to rush into the ruins with us!" shouted to his men.
These warriors obviously lost their previous ambitions, and they looked frightened, and their faces were ugly. They were not blind, and one of their two companions was reduced to a pool of stinking blood, and the other had a broken leg to save his life. How terrifying this ruin will be, even a fool can understand!
Although the Lei brothers were jealous, they were more excited, because the more terrifying the ruins, the more rebellious they were.
"You can't ask for such a relic, it is a God-given opportunity to meet it, and if you miss it, you will regret it for a lifetime, you must cherish it!" Lei Tong said sharply.
"Greedy for life and afraid of death, what's the use of raising people in the cabinet?
Seeing this, the surviving warriors could only bite the bullet. The Lei brothers forced the two to explore the way, and everyone raised their hearts to their throats, but fortunately, the two were not in danger, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.
"The Lei brothers want to take me in, but I'm afraid they can also be used as pathfinders and cannon fodder, hmph, they are so calculating!" Ao Zhan looked at this scene indifferently, standing quietly, and the last bit of good feeling for Lei Tong in his heart disappeared.
"Let's go in!" Lei Tong waved his hand and jumped into the top hole with Lei Dian.
The cave instantly became empty, and Ao Zhan stood alone, thinking a lot for a while. Why did the Netherstone Mine suddenly dry up, what was the connection between the blood dripping from the ruins, what was in the ruins, and was the blood fountain that in my mind not?
'Whew!'
At this moment, a breeze blew on his face, with a hint of coolness, disturbing his mind.
"There's wind!" I remember the last time I walked back here along a wind cave, so where did the wind come from?" Ao Zhan frowned and said to himself.
Last time, he thought he had found an exit and walked straight along a windy cave, but who would have thought that he would return to the original cave, and was discovered by Tie Lan and a few people in a moment's distraction.
As he thought, he walked into a wind cave. After going forward for a while, there was a fork in the road.
"Such a flat hole must have been left by the black iron knife centipede, I won't touch its moldy head!" Ao Zhan smiled and continued to move forward.
Avoiding the alien cave like this, the humidity of the air getting lower and lower along the way, and the breeze blowing in his face, made him wonder, is this a way out?
Just as he was distracted, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded, and this bend directly allowed Ao Zhan and a team of people to come into direct contact.
"Huh?!"
Both sides were startled and stepped back on guard. At this look, Ao Zhan immediately tensed his nerves, the number of opponents was so large that he couldn't count them in the bustling cave. And after the other party found out that he was only one person, he immediately relaxed and showed a malicious look.
"Ao Zhan, he's Ao Zhan!" someone snapped.
"Yes, it's him!" echoed the warrior.
"Ao Zhan?" Tie Lan and Tie Feng'er, who were standing in the front position, both showed complicated expressions when they heard this, and they couldn't help but look forward.
The cave was so dark that it was impossible to see the real thing. However, in the faint light, they saw each other's eyes cold and familiar.
"Sister Lan, it's him!" Tie Feng'er was in a complicated mood, like joy and sadness.
"I know it's him, what's the matter, is it too excited to see the lover of your dreams?" Tie Lan lowered her voice and said with a sneer.
"Sister Lan, you, what did you say, when did he become the lover of my dreams, and he is still our savior!" Tie Feng'er blushed, a little displeased.
"What are you muttering?" At this time, Tietu came out of the crowd and came to the second daughter's side.
"Oh, there's no Elder Tu. Tie Lan smiled slightly.
She is the most powerful competitor for the next generation of the Tie family, although Tie Tu is an elder, but it is not easy to force questions, so she can only give up.
In a few short breaths, Ao Zhan had already fled without a trace, he was not stupid, he would not fight so many people.
"Do you know me, is it from the Hu family or the Tie family?!" thought to him as he ran away.
The warriors of the Tie and Hu families have all fought with him, but except for Tie Lan and Tie Feng'er, the rest of the people who have seen him in the Tie family have died, and the Hu family, together with the eight guests who assassinated him with the shopkeeper of Yiqiaozhuang, escaped a few...... It stands to reason that his appearance may have been mastered by the two families.
"The Tiehu family is not in agreement, so they shouldn't join forces to deal with me. Ao Zhan thought about it, and he really couldn't make up his mind.
Soon, he fled to the cave where the ruins appeared. When he got here, he had a lot of options to hide in any hole. The other party does not know the mystery of these holes, and they will definitely be attracted by the ruins and distracted.
Ao Zhan laughed twice and hid in a windless acupuncture point. He didn't go deep, just stuck to the position about five meters from the entrance of the cave and eavesdropped.
It was a long time before the sound of footsteps sounded in the huge cavern, and the wheezing of these people was heavy.
"Hey, what's going on?" Ao Zhan was puzzled, and secretly leaned forward and poked his head out to peek.
Many of these warriors were bloodied, wounded, and stained with the blood of others.
"Damn the black iron knife centipede, it's actually hiding there and sneaking up!" Tietu gritted his teeth.
"It turned out that it was attacked by the black iron knife centipede, hehe. "Although Ao Zhan has never seen Tietu, he feels his abundant blood, and this person is not stained with blood, and he is obviously very strong.
In addition, Hu Yanyao and Jiang Kui also attracted Ao Zhan's attention, these two people are also full of blood and energy, and their momentum is dormant, and they are obviously highly cultivated.
"Bad luck, you actually took this evil beast's nest as a shortcut! General Jiang, how many men have you lost?" Hu Yanyao shook his head and sighed.
"Not much less than you!" Jiang Kui replied angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense, look, what's on the top?!" Tietu snapped, pointing to the top of the cave.
When he roared, everyone immediately took advantage of the situation.
A big hole, a black illusory hole that spins like a black hole!
"What's that?!" someone suddenly couldn't help but say.
"Could it be, could it be..." Hu Yanyao seemed to have some guesses, but he was not sure, frowning and pondering.
"Hey, is there blood on the ground?" Jiang Kui looked around, came to the bottom of the cave entrance quite a bit, and reached out to probe a puddle of dark red liquid on the ground, this thing is too much like blood, but it lacks spirituality and has no fishy smell, so Jiang Kui is not sure.
"Ancient corpse blood! This is definitely ancient corpse blood, its spirituality is very restrained, and it has not passed cleanly, just now I felt that my soul trembled violently, and I lost my mind for a moment, like a reincarnation and falling!" Tie Tu looked surprised, and then he was overjoyed, where there is ancient corpse blood, there must be ancient ruins that are unpredictable, this is an iron rule.
"Elder Tu, look at the ground..."Tie Lan said, pointing to the clothes on the ground.
Tietu looked at the situation, there was a slap of clothes on the ground, stained red by blood, and its strange appearance seemed to be the life of the clothed person disappeared, and there were traces of struggle on the ground, and there were a large number of blood stains around these traces, connected into a blurred line, extending into the distance.
"It's bad!" Ao Zhan, who was peeking at all this, shouted in his heart.
"There's someone over there!Catch me!" Tietu and the others were so keen, once they sensed that something was wrong, they immediately found the person hiding behind the stone wall.
The warriors of the Iron Family immediately rushed up and rushed behind the mountain wall.
"Hey, it's a broken leg, he's dying, he's wearing the costume of the Treasure Pavilion!" someone shouted.
"Where are your people now?" asked Tetu sharply.
"I, Iā" The man's face was extremely pale, his calf had been severed by Qi Gen, and he was only tightened with a belt, and his blood had already congealed and turned dark black.
"I have a life-hanging pill here, if you tell me where the Lei brothers and Ao Zhan are, how about I save your life?" Hu Yanyao said with a smile.
"......" The leg-breaking warrior was silent, as if he was weighing.
"Don't think about it anymore, the Treasure Pavilion abandoned you and let you suffer here alone, not to mention that compared to the whereabouts of the Lei brothers, I want to know which cave Ao Zhan is hiding in, he has nothing to worry about you, what is there to worry about?" Hu Yanyao looked around with small eyes, and had already guessed some clues, it was expected that the people of the Treasure Pavilion had entered the ruins on the top, and it was expected that Ao Zhan was hiding in one of the many nests like a beehive.
It's just that the ruins don't dare to break in, and he doesn't know which cave Ao Zhan is hiding in!
"Not yet, are you begging for death?" The tall Jiang Kui's momentum leaked out, and the three martial artists were a little weak under their feet, not to mention the broken leg martial artist who lost too much blood, and he immediately coughed up blood.
"Death, I'm afraid it's too cheap for him, I have a subordinate, he likes to skin people alive the most, he has a unique technique, every time he can make the other party hold on to the last moment, and see the whole skin out of the flesh with his own eyes......" Tie Tu sneered, his eyes burst into cold light.
