Chapter 26: The Grotto of Bones
The two wiped the blood from their faces, and looked in horror at the dense pile of human bones around them, most of which were still stained with dried flesh, giving people the feeling that the knife had not been shaved clean. The corpse, the skinny face was twisted in pain, and it was chained through its chest like a spider's web, and the blood dripped down the chains into the blood fountain, and this creepy place made Yue Qing's scalp tingle for a while.
"Shouldn't this be hell..."Ji Fan was a little suffocated, not that the smell here was not good, but that there were bones all over the place, blood flowed like rivers, and there was a layer of red mist floating in the humid air, I am afraid that hell is not as tragic as here.
"Sure enough, it's a strange place. Yue Qing's face was cold.
After adapting to the environment, the two vigilantly went around the grotto, and in a corpse bone, they actually found the body of the rough man before, his face was snow-white, his eyes were wide with anger, his expression seemed to be unbelievable, there was a clear blood hole in the chest, and the blood was gurgling out, and it seemed that the cause of death was here.
Yue Qing stepped forward and groped for a while, but he didn't find anything valuable.
Less than a dozen steps further, the grotto came to the end, the two of them carefully observed the grotto again, but found nothing, Yue Qing shook his head, his face was full of disappointment, as if this was a place where corpses were stored.
The surrounding hollow eyes stared at them, Ji Fan's face was a little unnatural, he looked at the blood-red bones around him with a little fear, and said cautiously: "Senior brother, are we thinking too much." There are no treasures at all. ”
"Absolutely, the words of those two people just now are clearly here to check something, there is definitely something hidden here. Yue Qing didn't give up and continued to search, but Ji Fan had no choice but to follow.
After about half an hour, the two of them sat down on a stone with their heads down, and watched silently as the blood trickled down the crack in the surface into the spring from which they had come.
"Could it be a secret passage or something?" Ji Fan thought for a moment and asked.
"I just checked it and there are no gaps. Yue Qing glanced at him and said.
Hearing this, Ji Fan was a little discouraged, and carefully observed this place again, only to see that all the chains in all directions were linked to the rock in the middle, and suddenly felt that the stone was shining black, and he was a little dizzy after looking at it for a long time, and intuitively, he told him that the rock might be tired.
He frowned slightly, tugged at Yue Qing next to him, and said, "Senior brother, do you feel it... That stone seems unusual? Have you just checked it?"
"Huh?" Yue Qing glanced at the stone, which seemed to be an ordinary stone except for some blackening.
"It's like just a rock to hold the chains in place. Yue Qing glanced at it and replied casually.
"But there are no locks on the stone, but it is directly embedded in the stone. Ji Fan walked over.
Yue Qing was worried that something would happen to Ji Fan, so he hesitated, but he had to follow, and after taking a closer look, he suddenly felt that this stone was very abnormal.
"It makes sense, but looking at the layout here, so many bones are hanging on chains, as if they are pouring this stone, if there is something inside, I'm afraid it will be some kind of evil thing..."Yue Qing groaned for a moment and said.
The two of them groped around the stone for a while, and for a while, they didn't know who touched the mechanism, and the originally sealed stone suddenly cracked from it, and a small stone platform slowly rose inside, and the whole looked like a lotus. In the center of the stone platform, a black ball the size of a human head was lying, and an illusory black gas was emitting from the surface.
"What is this? Don't move!" The cautious Yue Qing didn't dare to get too close, and when he saw that the curious Ji Fan actually wanted to touch it, he hurriedly grabbed it.
"I don't know what it is, you're looking for death. Yue Qing reprimanded.
Ji Fan scratched his head, in terms of cultivation experience, he was too far behind Yue Qing.
Glancing at Ji Fan who was sneering, Yue Qing picked up a stone, cautiously touched the sphere on the stone platform, and waited for a long time for the ball to have no reaction, and then he gradually put his mind at ease.
"It doesn't seem to be a problem, but what is this?" Yue Qing stretched out a finger and touched it carefully, the place where he touched it was cold and round, and he closed his eyes and felt nothing. Biting his finger and dripping a drop of blood, the blood beads slipped down, and he couldn't help but sigh, although he knew that this thing was not simple, but he really didn't know what it was for.
Ji Fan also came up, and his curiosity prompted him to reach out and touch the ball, but Yue Qing didn't stop it this time.
However, as soon as his palm touched the ball, his complexion changed suddenly.
Because the moment his fingertips touched the ball, the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins in his body was boiling and boiling, and after reacting, he wanted to withdraw his hand only to find that his palm was stuck to it!
"Senior brother, senior brother, help me!" bursts of cold black qi flowed from his fingers into Ji Fan's body, he was afraid and afraid, and tried to push it away with his other palm, but it was also adhered to it.
"Let go!"
Seeing Ji Fan's strange appearance, Yue Qing was suddenly startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to try to separate Ji Fan from the round ball, but let Ji Fan, who had strong resistance, shake him off and prevent him from touching it.
"Don't touch, something has entered my body!" Ji Fan was sweating profusely, and he couldn't shake off the ball with his hands.
"Senior brother, don't worry, there is always a way... There's always a way..."
Yue Qing tried his best to keep his composure, but the sweat on his forehead was still dripping, he grabbed Ji Fan's arm and lifted the ball up to take a closer look, but saw a black purple gas gurgling from under the skin of his palm, and it also showed a tendency to flow upward, and suddenly, his face trembled involuntarily.
"There's no way, I'm sorry junior brother, it may be a little painful, you bear with it. Yue Qing's expression was extremely guilty, and for a moment it seemed that he had made a decision, his expression suddenly became firm, he took a deep breath, the dagger fell into his hand, and he compared it towards Ji Fan's palm.
"Wait, brother! This feels weird, it doesn't seem that serious. As soon as Ji Fan saw Yue Qing take out the dagger, he knew what he was going to do, his face suddenly turned green, and he hurriedly retreated, Yue Qing stopped, but he still looked like he was waiting for battle.
Stopping Yue Qing's next move, Ji Fan closed his eyes to check the situation in his body, and suddenly found that the black airflow actually rushed towards his spiritual vein, he was immediately shocked, and instinctively controlled the spiritual energy to block, and the miraculous thing was that the black airflow was actually fused with the spiritual energy in the spiritual vein!
"Is this the dark aura?!" he was momentarily stunned.
A feeling of the same root and origin emanated from his heart, and with a little confusion, he closed his eyes and looked at the ball in his hand, and his expression gradually became astonished, because he found that there was a huge and incomparably dark aura!
Deep, dark, and bright! It seems to be a little evil!
He was stunned for a moment!
