Chapter 216: The Remains of Ten Thousand Bones

"This way!"

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed on the damp and empty rock passage, facing the "life-saving straw" that suddenly appeared in front of them, Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun suddenly couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly chased after them!

"That man...... Is he really a human??" Jiang Yao said in surprise as he looked up at the figure in front of him as he ran.

"The magnetic field in this space is chaotic, and I can't feel that guy's breath...... But that person has footsteps, it must be an entity, not a phantom!" Mu Jianyun said. "However, we don't know if the other party is friend or foe, or be careful!"

"Whoa......

As he was talking, a piece of gravel suddenly fell from the top of the rock road, and it smashed in front of Mu Jianyun and Jiang Yao, and the two of them stagnated slightly, and hurriedly dodged away. However, in the blink of an eye, the figure in front of him suddenly disappeared into the darkness, and disappeared in an instant.

"What about people?!"

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Mu Jianyun, and then hurriedly ran forward, only then did the two find that there was a cliff on the road ahead, as if it had been cut off by the waist, and it suddenly became a "broken road".

"That person just now, did he jump off?" Jiang Yao stood cautiously at the end of the road and glanced down. The fine stones fell from the cliff into the pitch-black abyss, and it was a long time before there was an ethereal echo from below, as if beyond this cliff was a vast cave, but the light of the fireworks beads alone was not enough to dispel the foggy darkness, let alone peek into the whole cave.

"It could be a jump, or it could be ...... It's 'falling'......" Mu Jianyun glanced at this dangerous "guillotine road" and said with palpitations. "If it hadn't been for the rocks that stopped us just now, in this kind of light environment, maybe even we might accidentally step on the air and fall into this cliff. ”

"If that person really fell accidentally, he wouldn't have screamed, and we didn't hear anyone fall just now......"

Jiang Yao muttered, suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Mu Jianyun.

"By the way, speaking of which...... How many of these fireworks beads did you bring?"

"If I don't count this one, I only have the last one left on me. Mu Jianyun said, took out another bead from his arms, and said. "Each firework bead is a consumable and lasts for a limited time, and once activated, it can only be used once, so we have to save some of it. ”

"But now we don't have much time left, and we can't go back and find our way again, so we have to go down there and find out. Jiang Yao said. "I'm sure there's a reason for that person to disappear here, and maybe we'll find a shortcut to leave. It's just this light ......."

"I see what you mean. ”

Mu Jianyun nodded, and reached out to pinch the activated fireworks light bead in his palm. With the words in Mu Jianyun's mouth, the brightness of the fireworks bead suddenly increased several times, and just as the light of the fireworks bead reached its peak, Mu Jianyun waved his hand vigorously and threw the bead of light into the darkness under the cliff.

"Smack...... Smack......!"

The surging fireworks were like a bright meteor, drawing a dazzling arc in the dark cave, and as the fireworks fell, it was not only the jumping sound of the beads that echoed in the cave below, but also a crisp strange sound, as if something had been hit by the beads.

"Click...... Click...... Whoa!'

The crisp sound gradually spread, and Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun, who noticed something different, hurriedly looked down, and found that the fireworks at the bottom of the cliff began to light up with a little green phosphorescence around the beads, and quickly began to spread. In a few moments, the entire cave was filled with fluorescent phosphorescence, and at this time, the whole picture in the cave really appeared in front of Jiang Yao and the others.

White bones, wreckage, devastation. In the rock pit in front of them, which was almost the size of a football field, tens of thousands of bones of all kinds were piled up, which shocked Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun for a long time.

"These white bones...... There are still weapons left next to it...... Could it be that this is the remnants of some great war?"

Mu Jianyun hesitated, such a tragic scene undoubtedly showed that there had been a large-scale bloody battle here, but within the scope of his knowledge, the impression of the existence of such a battle was almost zero.

"What should I do, do you want to go down and have a look?" Jiang Yao asked.

“…… Check it out. Mu Jianyun sighed, the current situation did not allow the two of them to have any other choice, so they could only climb the stone wall and carefully climb down the cliff, walking along the pile of bones all over the ground towards the center of the cave.

"These bones have a hole in the center of their eyebrows, and their finger bones are very long, with only three fingers, so it seems that they should be the same as those dried corpses at the bottom of the valley outside, and they are the same group of demons. Mu Jianyun squatted down and carefully examined the bones on the ground and said.

"I'm not sure if these bones died because of the 'Golem Worm', but now that these bones have been ossified, they shouldn't be like those dry corpses out there and become the puppets of the 'Puppet Scaleworm' to attack us. ”

"Since these demons are all a race, and they also carry weapons, it seems that they should be the legions of a certain tribe. ”

Jiang Yao observed the cold weapons next to the bones and found that although those weapons looked old, they were shrouded in a strange blue luster on the surface. Not only that, Jiang Yao also found that those weapons and armor fragments next to the bones seemed to be engraved with a special black pattern.

"This is ...... What is it carved?" Jiang Yao squinted his eyes and carefully observed the black patterns through the phosphorescence around him, and found that the pattern was a bit like an oracle bone inscription, but it was different from the oracle bone inscription in traditional cognition, and he didn't know what the text was.

"Is this a text? I always think that's the way it is...... Where do you seem to have seen it?" Jiang Yao hesitated, and turned his inquiring gaze to Mu Jianyun beside him, but found that the other party was staring at the black pattern with a serious face.

"What's wrong?, have you thought of anything?" Jiang Yao asked.

“…… This thing is not just a simple text. After a long time, Mu Jianyun finally opened his mouth from the silence. "Do you remember the 'Demon Text' we once saw in the ancient tomb of Yuanqiu Mountain?"

"Are they the words engraved on the base of the Chiyou stone statue?" After being reminded by Mu Jianyun, Jiang Yao remembered the strange words that described the past of the undead, and after thinking about it carefully, it was very similar to the words in front of him.

"The words on the armor of these weapons you see now are actually a kind of 'demon script'. It's just that it's just a 'totemic mark' here. Mu Jianyun replied

"'Totem Imprint'?" Jiang Yao immediately thought of something and said in surprise. "Could it be that it is the tribal symbol of this demon legion?"

"That's right. Mu Jianyun nodded. "This 'totem mark' is actually an alienated demon script, written 'Kun', the word 'Kun' for Kunlun. This pattern is the symbol of the Kunlun tribe. ”

"Kunlun Clan!?" Jiang Yao's face suddenly changed when he heard this. "Are you saying that these demon corpses are actually troops under the command of the Kunlun tribe!?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten. Mu Jianyun said, his face was also solemn. "Although this is just my speculation, I am afraid that this was originally an ancient battlefield, but it was sucked in by this chaotic alien space and buried in this dark canyon. ”

"I have heard that the Kunlun tribe is a major force under the Demon God Mansion, and it is powerful, so it should be very difficult to provoke, how can there be so many people from the Kunlun tribe buried here......"

At the mention of the Kunlun tribe, Jiang Yao's face couldn't help but feel a little hazy. According to his and Taotao's speculation at the time, the demon Gu incident seemed to be related to the Kunlun tribe, and the mastermind behind the mastermind who held the 'Soul Suppression Stone' and even used the "Curse to Destroy the Mouth" to get rid of the blue bird also seemed to have some unusual connection with the Kunlun tribe.

"Such a tragic battle is simply unheard of, and there is no record of similar events in the historical records of Lingyutai. Mu Jianyun looked around and said solemnly. "Moreover, there seems to be no signs or corpses of other tribes in this pile of bones, and it is more like something has happened collectively than a war with one side. Considering the group of "puppet insects" outside, perhaps...... This may be the culprit. ”

"However...... no matter how terrifying the 'Golem Scale Worm' is, it is not impossible to defeat, can they really wipe out so many demon soldiers?" Jiang Yao was skeptical, but after thinking about it at this time, there was no other explanation, so he could only put his doubts aside for the time being and looked up at the back of the cave.

"Hmm, Jianyun, look! Behind this cave...... It looks like there's a big thing in the pestle?" Jiang Yao said, stretching out his hand to the bottom of the entire cave, only to see that behind the pile of white bones all over the ground, there seemed to be a three-story tall behemoth standing in the shadows, motionless in the gloomy green fluorescence.

"Is that ......?" Mu Jianyun looked vigilantly at the huge shadow with blurred outlines, and did not dare to approach rashly for a while. He thought for a moment, then picked up the firework bead that had fallen not far away, and threw it tentatively in the direction of the giant shadow.

"Smack...... Bang ......

The glow of the fireworks beads mingled with the wailing sound of broken bones, gradually spreading to the massive black shadow. In the phosphorescent light, they saw a huge dry skeleton standing at the bottom of the cavern, like a solidified stone tablet, looking down sadly at the wreckage that lay below.

"W-...... this!?"

Jiang Yao looked at the behemoth in front of him in amazement, and was shocked to find that although this dry bone had a skull similar to a human being, the skeleton of the body was in the form of a tiger;

"No...... W-This can't be!!"

At the moment when he saw this huge dry bone clearly, Mu Jianyun's face instantly turned as white as paper. He took a few steps back in disbelief, his face not only shocked, but also terrified like never before.

"This bone, this state...... It...... Could it be the leader of the Kunlun tribe - Lu Wu!?"
