Chapter 178

His body came to a halt without warning, and Yang Piao slammed into his back, and the footsteps stopped.

"What's wrong?" Yang Piao asked.

"There's something following us, right next to us, you be careful!" Ye Ling muttered, feeling the surroundings carefully, but still couldn't feel anything, so he stretched out his hand and patted Yang Piao's shoulder, for fear that she would be afraid.

"What's the matter?" Yang Piao's heart jumped, in this dark environment, no girl was not afraid, especially at this time, what Ye Ling said seemed to be something unclean, which made her even more afraid.

Well?

Suddenly, Yang Piao's whole person seemed to stiffen in place, the cold sweat on her face fell instantly, and even cold sweat flowed down her back, she discovered an extremely terrible fact!

Her left hand was pulling Ye Ling's arm, and her right hand was pulled by Ye Ling, but just now, just now......

Ye Ling actually patted his shoulder with his other hand, who was patting himself, or was he pulling it?

"Ahh

Yang Piao screamed violently, and hurriedly shook off the cold hand that had been holding him for more than ten minutes, and threw himself into Ye Ling's arms, gasping for breath, extremely frightened in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ling immediately struck in all directions, but there was nothing.

"I ...... I...... Someone grabbed my hand just now...... Did you hold my hand just now?" Yang Piao's voice trembled a little, and she felt furious when she thought of that cold hand.

"No!" Ye Ling also frowned, someone was holding Yang Piao's hand just now, if it was so close, he didn't even find out, who was this? or...... "Don't be afraid of me, tell me more about what happened just now!"

"Just ten minutes ago, I was a little scared in my heart, thinking that you were pulling me, so I ignored it, but just now I pulled your arm with one hand, and your other hand patted me on the shoulder, and I realized that it was not you who was pulling with my right hand......" Yang Piao's voice trembled, her breathing was slightly short, she was still able to fight in the face of the fox, but when she encountered this kind of thing, she was completely confused, which was also too terrifying, and her scalp was numb when she thought of that cold hand.

Ye Ling was also shocked, someone actually dragged Yang Piao to follow him for more than ten minutes, this person's strength was either heaven-level, or it was not a person, but something, otherwise it would be impossible to escape his own detection.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, there's me!" Ye Ling hugged Yang Piao, patted her back comfortingly, and looked at Yang Piao's still scared look, he said, "Come up, I'll carry you on my back!"

"Hmm!" Yang Piao nodded, letting Ye Ling carry it, and Xiaobai also jumped onto Yang Piao's shoulder, which made him a little less afraid.

A Yang Piao, a little white, this weight is very easy for Ye Ling, he continued to walk forward, but this time he was more cautious, but after walking for more than twenty minutes, he still didn't meet anything, and he didn't hear footsteps anymore.

Ye Ling felt that the road ahead was constantly descending, although it had been dark, but he could still feel that he had walked at least a few dozen meters downward, and it was the bottom of the cliff before, and this cave was also leading to the depths of the underground, and there seemed to be no end, and he was getting deeper and deeper.

After walking for nearly two hours, a faint light finally came from the front, and as far as I could see, the front also opened up.

"How can there be fire?" Yang Piao said in surprise, this is deep underground, can there still be fire?

Ye Ling didn't speak, after a glimmer of light, his speed increased a lot, and immediately stepped forward, on both sides of the cave, there was a lamp, a wick was burning, Ye Ling put Yang Piao down, and then looked at the oil soaked under the wick, although it was not much, but it was still burning faintly.

"This is the eternal oil, a drop can burn for ten years, as long as there is a faint air circulation, it can burn non-stop, if this lamp oil is full before, this lamp has been burning for at least a thousand years!" Ye Ling pondered, revealing a look of thought, who did this?

"So amazing?" Yang Piao was no longer afraid at this time, after all, with light, it seemed that he had something to rely on.

"Well, there is still a lamp ahead, let's go down, maybe we will find something ancient!" Ye Ling said, after all, this lamp is too ancient, and in this kind of place, even if ordinary people fall off the cliff, even if they don't die, they will definitely not come to this place.

The further you go, the denser and brighter the light becomes, as if to signal that you are about to reach your destination!

"What will be in front of you? A thousand-year-old tomb? This is usually the case!" Yang Piao said curiously, after the surroundings lit up, she was not so scared in her heart, and took Ye Ling's arm and walked boldly.

"What is this?" Ye Ling suddenly spoke, looking ahead, where in the dim light of the fire, a figure was standing facing him.

"A person, no, he doesn't look like a human!" Yang Piao hurriedly grabbed Ye Ling's arm, the figure in front of him didn't seem to be a person, it seemed to be a clay sculpture, although he was wearing clothes, his exposed neck and side face were the color of cement gray, and it looked like he was made of clay.

"It may be to guard here, it's easy for a cultivator to have this ability!" Ye Ling explained.

At this moment, the clay figure suddenly opened his eyes, and then turned around, which made Ye Ling and Yang Piao startled again.

Because the clay figure was only half of its body, half from head to toe, and the mutilated part of that half was indeed not a real person, but a thin rope that was uneven and blackened, as if it had been injured like this.

"This thing is actually alive?" Yang Piao said in shock.

"Well, you stand back. Ye Ling let Yang drift back to the rear, and then took a step forward, observing the clay figure.

This seemingly heavy clay figure jumped forward, but it was extremely light, not even a trace of sound, and the speed was extremely fast, which made Ye Ling a little shocked, this clay figure jumped extremely lightly, Ye Ling's eyes flashed with a sudden color, the one who was holding Yang Piao's hand should be this clay figure, and the footsteps were exactly the same as the footsteps he felt.

However, since the clay figure had been walking beside them for more than ten minutes before, there should be no danger, otherwise he and Yang Piao would have been ambushed a long time ago.

Sure enough, this clay man did not have any signs of attacking people, jumping around randomly, the speed was amazing, the voice was very light and light, the clay man's eyes did not close after they opened, looked at Ye Ling, and then looked at Yang Piao, and jumped straight towards Yang Piao.

"Ye Qiu!" Yang Piao was startled, facing half of the clay figure, she felt a little infiltrated.

Ye Ling's feet flashed, and he came to Yang Piao's side, watching the clay figure jump quickly, and slapped a palm straight towards it, this palm was amazingly powerful, so that countless strong winds suddenly rose around him, and even blew out the candlelight within dozens of meters.

The clay man's only remaining left hand stretched out towards Ye Ling, and then struck each other together!

"Boom!" Ye Ling flew out upside down, his feet kept retreating on the ground, and the clay figure also flew backwards, but it looked lighter than Ye Ling, and he only took more than ten steps back before attacking again, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Yang Piao's body again.

Ye Ling was suddenly startled, his feet were like old trees taking root, and he was slammed into the ground, no longer retreating, and rushing madly.

But at this time, the clay man's left hand moved again, and it didn't shoot it like it was against Ye Ling, but slowly raised it, as if there was no danger, and directly grabbed Yang Piao's left hand.

Ye Ling, who rushed over, stopped suddenly, looking at all this in surprise, as if this clay figure was a little ...... Like Yang Piao?

Yang Piao was frightened, and only then did he react, and was about to dodge, but he saw Ye Ling shaking his head slightly, signaling her not to move yet.

Half a body, half a face, just looking at Yang Piao, the left hand of the clay man pulled Yang Piao's left hand, very cold, this touch was the thing that pulled her before, she thought it was some kind of unclean thing, but she didn't expect it to be the clay man in front of her, although this clay figure looks like a seepage, but it is much stronger than that kind of unclean thing.

Ye Ling walked over slowly, for fear of causing the clay figure to alarm and do any harm to Yang Piao, but the clay man didn't pay attention to him at all, but looked at Yang Piao and didn't move.

Yang Piao also felt a little embarrassed, and a little scared, so he stalemated for a while, Yang Piao tried to break free with his hand, but the clay man was very tight, and he didn't want to let go, Yang Piao saw this situation, and then looked at the clay man and said carefully: "Can you let me go?"

The clay figure looked at Yang Piao, and suddenly showed a strange expression on his face, which originally had no expression, and the movement was extremely slow, and half of its mouth slowly bent upward, as if it was slowly smiling, but because of the half face and half mouth, plus the eyes of the clay sculpture, this action looked extremely weird and infiltrating.

But the clay figure seemed to be able to understand Yang Piao's words, and slowly let go of Yang Piao's hand, and then stood there and watched Yang Piao not move again.

"Ye Qiu, what's the situation?" Yang Piao showed a strange expression, this clay figure didn't seem to hurt her.

"I don't know. Ye Ling shook his head, then looked at the clay man and said, "Can you understand us?"

Half a sound, the clay figure didn't make any movement, and didn't answer!

Ye Ling showed a hint of helplessness, this is just a clay figure, how can he have his own spiritual wisdom and be able to refine spiritual things, unless he encounters a rare heaven and earth treasure.

"Can you understand what we're saying?" Yang Piao also asked.

What shocked Ye Ling happened, this clay figure nodded slightly very slowly, what is the situation? Could it be that this clay figure only listens to women's words, but can't understand men's words? This is impossible!

"Hehe!" Yang Piao smiled, and then looked at Ye Ling proudly, "Elder Ye, it can understand me, it's amazing that this half of the clay figure can still understand people, and it doesn't seem to hurt us, right?"
