From the inside out!

It was as if someone was slowly pushing the black palace door inside.

The black palace door had revealed a gap large enough.

And all we see in this big enough gap is darkness, endless darkness.

Along with this infinite darkness there is a strong smell.

This strong smell poured out of the infinite darkness.

I can't tell what this strong smell is, because it's not a single smell, it's a mixture of multiple smells.

The smell is dark, damp, rotten, fragrant, sour, and has a musty smell of spoiled food.

"This gas is not poisonous. ”

Weng Ping's voice reached the ears of each and every one of us.

Hearing Weng Ping's words, I also let go of a heart that was already hanging.

With the last sound of the gears turning, the black palace door has completely opened a passage to the unknown.

The palace gates are wide open!

But each of us didn't move at this moment.

Black!

All that catches our eyes is black.

"Thin man, shine a light on it. ”

Qin Yue's voice sounded beside me.

And as Qin Yue's voice fell, a white beam of light suddenly swept past me and plunged into the infinite darkness directly in front of us.

And at this moment, each of us is also staring at this white beam of light that has broken into the darkness.

The white beam of light stopped the moment it broke into the infinite darkness.

It was as if the abrupt stop was blocked by something mysterious hidden in the infinite darkness.

The white beam of light stopped but did not enter, and this strange scene was seen by each of us.

"Why can't the light shine in?"

Old Man Qiu's voice sounded in the ears of each of us out of place.

Hearing Old Man Qiu's words, my head began to break out in a cold sweat.

A second white beam of scorching light swept past me, and this white scorching beam encountered the same situation as the first one.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth......

The result is all the same!

It was as if the six white beams of light were shining on a black wall.

The white beams can't penetrate the real thing, so they all stop there.

These six white beams of light that stayed in the black were so close to us.

They only shone into the black palace gate, and stopped less than a meter away.

At this moment, I don't believe it, the place where these six white burning beams of light stay is the end of this black palace gate.

Staring closely at the darkness in the palace gate in front of us, none of us moved.

And in this tense atmosphere, I seem to see in the end of these six white beams—

I'm not sure, maybe it's because I'm too nervous.

The black end reflected by the white beam of light seemed to have just moved.

Am I dazzled? Or is it my delusion?

"Stand back!"

Just when I was still wondering whether it was a dazzle or an illusion, Qin Yue suddenly said these two words to us in a hurried voice.

Back off!

Hearing Qin Yue's order, I subconsciously chose to obey.

"It's too late, get down, get down!"

Before I could lift my foot or hit the ground, there was a huge thrust behind me, and it knocked me to the ground.

There was an intimate touch of the face, and as I felt my whole face begin to burn, I heard a voice—

No, not one sound, but a combination of many voices.

And this sound of multiple voices mixed together came from the darkness in the black palace gate in front of him.

"Whew-whew!"

The sound coming from the darkness was like the flapping of wings.

That's right – that's the sound of flapping wings.

The moment I was sure of the true identity of this voice, the huge black palace door began to turn over as if the river was overturning.

It's not just black that's turning the tide of the sea, but there are other colors as well.

And the moment I saw other colors in this infinite darkness, the blackness that was turning the river and the sea in the black palace gate suddenly broke out.

Like a flood that bursts its banks, the black river that is churning in the black palace gate surges, rushes, and roars out of the black palace gate.

This is a long black river, and it is a black wind!

The roaring, uncontrollable black river rushed out of this black palace gate like a giant beast that had broken free from its chains.

At the moment when we rushed out of this black palace gate, this black flood that had completely lost control poured down on us.

As it rushed towards us, the black flood that was completely out of control turned its massive body around.

Like a black python, this black python stretched out all the black scales on its body the moment it turned its body.

No, not black scales, but gray scales!

Patches of gray scales stretched out, revealing a pair of gray and white eyes.

A pair of gray and white eyes were moving, vibrating violently from top to bottom.

Rushed up in the shock.

"Fox Butterfly!"

I recognized the identity of this black flood.

They turned out to be the fox butterflies we had seen before in the Thirteen Ditches.

The sound of flapping wings is endless, and it is gradually dissipating in the endless stream.

Lying on the ground, looking at this army of foxes and butterflies that were rushing upward, my whole body was trembling.

How many fox butterflies do you have to cause the kind of battle you just had?

Thousands? I guess there must be at least 10,000 of them.

Honestly lying on the ground and waiting for the last fox butterfly to disappear in my eyes, I dared to take a deep breath.

No wonder our flashlight couldn't shine into the darkness just now, it turned out to be blocked by this group of fox and butterfly army.

And after this army of fox butterflies poured out of this black palace gate, this black palace gate was no longer endlessly black.

The black color dissipates and is replaced by a much lighter color than black.

Night!

At this moment, the inside of this black palace gate has been completely lit up by night.

It's hazy, it's foggy, but at least it's stronger than the black just now.

After waiting a little longer, we all got up from the ground one by one.

The battle just now was really weird and scary.

Thankfully, the Fox Butterfly army didn't attack us.

Standing up from the ground, each of us looked ahead.

Where does this palace door lead, and what dangers and unknowns await us behind this palace gate?

Qin Yue was the first to take a step towards the open palace gate.

And each of us has followed Qin Yue's footsteps.

It was just a false alarm, and maybe it was just an appetizer given to us by this palace gate.

Walking to the gate of the Black Palace, there were nine of us lined up.

Then, the unity took steps and walked into this night.

As we walked into this night, what greeted each of us was not a treasure full of treasures, not a rich and luxurious palace, but a ding-

A three-legged bronze tripod.

This three-legged bronze tripod is located in the middle of this walkway, which is more than four meters wide.

The tripod is the same height as the black palace gate, and the tripod is not depicted with dragons, phoenixes, tigers, and sparrows, but insects, huge insects with wings.

Some of these huge insects look exactly like bees, and some look like flying ants, but these are only a few.

The most common ones that appear on this tripod are fairy insects and scorpions with six pairs of wings.

On Ding's body, the fairy insect and the six-winged flying scorpion confronted each other, and the bees and flying ants attacked each other.

They form two phalanxes, with the fairy insect and the bee on one side, and the six-winged flying scorpion and the flying ant on the other.

These two phalanxes are carved on the body of the Ding, although they are not lifelike, but they also exude a-for-tat atmosphere.

"Why are there flying scorpions we haven't seen before?"

Old Man Qiu's voice suddenly sounded behind me.

Hearing Old Man Qiu's words, I was slightly stunned at first, and then a terrible thought suddenly rose.

We have all seen this fairy worm and spider bee before, but we have never seen the six-winged flying scorpion and flying ant carved on Ding's body.
