The lights in the distant city flickered, like stars falling to the ground in the night sky.

A rapid and sharp sound suddenly rose into the sky, resounding in mid-air, and exploded with a "pop", shattering the entire galaxy, all followed by fireworks and glittering.

The cold wind was cold, and the solemn man withdrew his gaze, and couldn't help but tighten the neckline of his shirt again.

Not far away, a man walked up and took out two steamed buns and stuffed them into his hands, "Eat something and pad your stomach." ”

"Thank you. The man grinned, unceremoniously took the steamed buns, and the two of them stood in the ice and snow, chatting with each other while eating steamed buns.

The man paused suddenly, and intuitively felt that there seemed to be a gaze on his side that had been staring at him, and he subconsciously turned his head.

A meow sounded, soft and helpless.

It turned out to be a cat.

He breathed a sigh of relief, broke half of the steamed bun in his hand and threw it over, Mimi screamed in his mouth.

The other person also glanced over there, and the torch in front of the dungeon faintly reflected a rough outline of the black shadow in the corner, and he couldn't help but shudder, "Black cat......

Unlucky.

The man didn't care, but instead stalked his neck to defend the black cat, "What's wrong with the black cat?" I have a black cat at home, and I have been raising it for more than ten years, nothing happened, and I also saved my youngest son's life. ”

After he finished speaking, he went to greet the black cat again, and his mouth was full of affection.

The cat walked gently with graceful steps, looked down and sniffed the steamed bun, but did not eat it. Its ears moved, and it suddenly raised its head and stared straight behind the man, its eyes glinting green.

The man was furious at it, and subconsciously turned around.

The huge stone gate of the dungeon behind suddenly looked a little eerie and terrifying in this cold night, and the black hole was hollow, as if a giant beast was opening its mouth, wanting to swallow the whole night.

He looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but ask the people around him, "Hey, you said that the emperor asked so many of us to guard the underground palace, could it be because there are some treasures in this underground palace?"

The other snorted disdainfully, "Don't think about it, it's nothing more than some funeral goods." If there really is any treasure, who can bury it in the underground palace......"

"Hmm. The man thought about it, but it was the same thing, and when he turned his head to look at the cat again, he found that the cat's figure had already disappeared into the night without a sound.

He sighed, put his hand in his sleeve, and stomped his feet that were a little stiff from the cold, "Speaking of which, the patrol team should have arrived at our door at this time, why hasn't it come today?"

"It's the New Year, you must be lazy......" the other yawned casually.

The torches standing outside the door of the underground palace flickered, like a shadow puppet play, and a cat shadow was suddenly reflected on the wall.

The cat stood still, its fur blowing up, as if it had foreseen something terrible.

A gust of wind blew.

The torches were extinguished, and the voices of people came to an abrupt end, and a dead silence ensued.

Another firework bloomed in the night sky, illuminating the gate of the underground palace in an instant-

and two people lying on the ground.

......

The night was thick and dark.

The three figures galloped their horses, and when they reached a short distance from the underground palace, they gradually slowed down, tied the horses to the nearby trees, and changed to walking.

It will take some time to get to the dungeon here, and Hyun Gyu is so bored that he can't help but joke.

"I have heard that there is a kind of man in this world who comes out only in the deepest night, and sets up a cauldron, but does not make a fire. ”

Jing Yu listened to it and raised a little interest, "Set up a pot, what to do?"

Hyun Gyu was mysterious, "Stay up late." ”

"Staying up late?" Jing Yu was confused.

"Yes. Hyun Gyu nodded solemnly, "It is to choose the place where the night is the thickest and there is no trace of light at all, put the pot up, boil it all the time, boil it until the sky is white, and the night is all boiled into the pot, it is as thick as ink, and there is a little starlight in it, which is very good-looking." ”

Jing Yu blinked, noncommittal.

Hyun Gyu laughed, and was about to continue editing, but the smell in the air made him look stunned.

It's so bloody.

Tang Xiaobai and Jing Yu also smelled this heavy fishy smell, and it felt as if they had suddenly stepped into the battlefield, and the further they went, the more viscous and turbid the smell of blood became.

Shicai hasn't noticed it, and there seems to be something here... It's too quiet.

"Smack. ”

Behind the three of them, a large firework suddenly exploded in the air, illuminating the surroundings for a moment. It also allowed them to see clearly the severed limbs and wreckage scattered all over the ground under their feet.

... Corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.

This is a massacre.

Hyun Gyu hurriedly lit a fire and carefully illuminated his feet. Lying on the ground were the corpses of well-armed Imperial Guards, these people were in a terrible state of death, their internal organs were scattered everywhere, and they should have been bitten to death by some animal.

Many Judas had their eyes open, and the horror on their faces had not yet dissipated.

Tang Xiaobai squatted down to check with a heavy bloody aura, "These people still have body temperatures, and their death should not exceed a quarter of an hour." ”

"Day", Hyun Gyu clenched his fists and scolded in a low voice.

The other party did this, clearly knowing that they were coming, so he deliberately rushed ahead of them and killed all these people.

This is a naked provocation.

The fire in Hyungui's hand lit up a little, and his eyes flashed with anger, "Let's go, go to the underground palace." ”

This time, the three of them were no longer cautious, and directly galloped towards the dungeon at the fastest speed.

In the darkness, the figure of the black cat flashed. His eyes lit up, he screamed softly, turned around, and soon blended in with the night again.

... The three of them came to the nearest entrance to the underground palace, which was different from the previous tragedy, only two men were lying, and there was no blood on the ground, and there was no trace of a fight. Only half a steamed bun was thrown not far away, and no one cared.

Tang Xiaobai squatted down and probed, breathing a sigh of relief, "It's just that I fainted." ”

Soon crossed two auras to the two of them.

The two men woke up slowly, rubbed their eyes, and shouted, "You, who are you, what are you here for......?"

Halfway through his words, the man suddenly realized that he couldn't open his mouth, so he had to whimper, staring at the three people in front of him with wide eyes and horror.

"If you don't want to die, go home now, don't ask, and don't look back. Tang Xiaobai said simply, "I nodded when I understood." ”

The two men nodded busily.

"Let's go. ”

Tang Xiaobai untied their forbidden words and quickly let the two leave.

Looking at the backs of the two of them gradually running away, Hyun Gyu was a little worried, "Just let them go, okay?"

"No problem. Since they are not dead, it means that the other party wants to spare their lives. ”

Tang Xiaobai sighed, looking at the open gate of the underground palace in front of him, his mood was a little heavy, "Let's go." ”

The three of them did not hesitate and walked into the dungeon together.
