"That's ...... Export?"

Jiang Yao looked at the beating dim light behind the stone wall, but his heart was filled with doubts. "No, that's not right...... It should still be late at night, this light ...... More like a torch?"

"No matter what, let's go and see! What if it's an exit?" Seeing that Zhou Wentao's situation was getting worse and worse, the anxiety on Qing Yu's face was also more obvious, she just wanted to step into the hole in the stone wall, but was dragged by Mu Jianyun.

"Calm down, since that monster came out of this cave behind the stone wall before, there may be other monsters inside, it's too dangerous for you to rush in like this!" Mu Jianyun said. "You and Jiang Yao are here first, and I'll explore the way. ”

"No, let's go together. Jiang Yao looked at Mu Jianyun's obviously pale face but still pretended to be calm, and said. "The miasma here is too strong, even you may not be able to hold it, so try to get close to me and don't go alone. ”

Mu Jianyun was about to say something more, but Jiang Yao had already gotten up and carried Zhou Wentao on his back and approached the breach in the stone wall, and Qing Yu no longer hesitated when he saw this, raised his hand to command the 'Liuying', and took the lead in flying into the huge karst cave behind the ruins of the stone wall.

The fluorescent blue light slowly reflected a corner of the cave, and there seemed to be no trace of other lurking monsters, Jiang Yao and the others observed for a moment, and then carefully stepped into the cave, groping towards the swaying shimmer in the distance in the blue light of the "flowing firefly......

The figures of the four gradually disappeared into the darkness behind the ruins of the stone wall, and the long stone corridor once again returned to a deathly silence, but this silence was soon broken by a faint roar, and next to the corpse of the monster in a different place on the ground, another creature of the same kind quietly appeared, which also exuded black gas.

"Roaring ......"

The new monster climbed forward, gently rubbed the corpse on the ground, and then raised its hideous head, looked at the direction where Jiang Yao and the others left, and turned around to chase after it, but at this moment, an orange-red firework suddenly burst out from the monster's body! In just a blink of an eye, the flames quickly rushed to the monster's body, and before the monster could let out a scream, it was swallowed by the flames, and after the fire, only a pile of charred charcoal was left on the ground.

"Click...... Click......

With the sound of footsteps from far and near, a pretty figure quietly appeared next to the pile of charred charcoal ash, only to see the figure coldly glanced at the charcoal ash and monster corpses on the ground, and then looked up at the cave behind the ruins of the stone wall, the beautiful and soft face had no expression fluctuations, which was very different from the lively and cheerful person he usually showed.

"Is it here......

The white pheasant stared in the direction of the cave, brushing the hair hanging from his ear, and the diamond stud earring on his left ear faintly transmitted orange-red light in the darkness, and with the flash of orange light, the figure of the white pheasant also moved, and finally disappeared into the bottomless darkness in the cave.

---------------------------------

Wen Tao ...... Wen Tao: Are you still awake?"

Jiang Yao carried Zhou Wentao behind his back and kept talking to him, for fear that the other party would lose consciousness again.

"Hmm......" Zhou Wentao responded weakly, but the shadows under his eyes continued unabated, Jiang Yao could clearly feel the weight on his back sink a little more, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Hurry up...... Gotta get out faster!What is the situation on both sides of this cave?

Jiang Yao glanced around, in the blue light of the "Flowing Firefly", he vaguely saw that on both sides of this long road of karst caves more than ten meters wide, there seemed to be many dense grottoes, large and small, of different sizes, at first glance it looked a little crazy, I don't know if it was naturally formed.

Jiang Yao turned his head, he didn't have the heart to delve into these things now, and as the flickering fire in front of him got closer and closer, his pace couldn't help but start to speed up.

"Hold on for a while, and we'll be able to go out soon!" Qing Yu looked at Zhou Wentao's weak appearance, and there seemed to be guilt and distress in his eyes. "I'm sorry...... If it weren't for my carelessness, you wouldn't have ......"

"How can I blame you for that...... Protecting Girls...... It's me...... What should be done......" Zhou Wentao looked at Qing Yu's reddened eyes and smiled hard. "Don't worry...... I...... Won't die...... Don't be psychologically burdened...... It's not your fault......"

Zhou Wentao said softly, and suddenly seemed to remember an important matter, and looked down at Jiang Yao.

“…… That's right...... Little Yao, my brother's soul...... It's around here...... I felt ......"

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, but then fell into a contradictory situation, although theoretically speaking, he could already use the "Power of Zhurong" here to "gather souls" to recall Zhou Wenhai's remnant soul, which was also the purpose of their trip, but because the "Power of Zhurong" could only be used once, and once the protection of "Power of Zhurong" was lost, the four of them would not be able to last long in this miasma-filled place.

"Now that we already know that Brother Wen Hai's soul is here, then we can come over again at any time to find a way, and the most important thing now is to send you out as soon as possible!"

Jiang Yao made a decision in his heart, looked up anxiously at the light that was swaying closer and closer in front of him, and soon, they found a huge bluestone gate built on the rock wall that was several people high, and the faint light was shining through the crack in the door that was slightly open.

The group stopped, glanced at each other, and then slowly approached the narrow two-person wide crack in the center of the stone door.

"It seems that there is no mechanism...... Qing Yu cautiously probed at the stone gate for a moment, and after making sure that there was no danger, he ordered the "flowing firefly" to fly into the door crack again, and the fluorescent blue light shone out a few torches in the stone gate, obviously this is the source of the glimmer that everyone saw before, and at the moment when everyone stepped into the door, a lantern suddenly lit up from all directions like dominoes, and at this moment the whole picture behind the door really came into everyone's eyes.

"This ...... Here it is!?"

Everyone stood in the doorway, staring up at the magnificent and strange space in front of them.

This seems to be a naturally formed giant karst cave, a series of craggy stalactites extend down from the zenith above, reflected in the pond in the center of the space, one by one along the karst cave around, densely spread in the vast rock wall, the dark hole is like a beehive, I don't know what is put in it; , is standing quietly at the end of the long road.

"This stone statue ...... Chi You?!"

Mu Jianyun stared at the huge stone statue dressed in battle armor and full of oppression, his face changed slightly, and on the other hand, although Jiang Yao beside him was also looking at the stone statue, he did not feel any depression in his heart, on the contrary, a close and familiar feeling arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart.

That's what it is...... Chiyou?

Although Jiang Yao has also seen the portrait of Chi You in the mythological illustrated book, but it is far from the strange feeling that this stone statue can bring him, Jiang Yao stared intently at the eyes of the Chi You stone statue, in a trance, he seemed to hear a call that seemed to come into his ears, drilled into his soul, and constantly agitated his divine sense, as if telling something......

"Look, inside those grottoes...... There seems to be something ......"

Qing Yu's exclamation came from the side, Jiang Yao came back to his senses suddenly, only to realize that he had unconsciously taken a few steps towards the stone statue just now, and he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly retreated to Mu Jianyun's side, turning his head to look in the direction indicated by Qing Yu.

I saw that the grotto closest to everyone had been illuminated by the light of the "Flowing Firefly", and the things placed in the grotto suddenly made the scalps of everyone present tingle-

It was a Aoki coffin covered with sealing charms.

"Isn't this coffin the ...... that seals those monsters!?" Jiang Yao looked at the strange magic circle under the coffin in the grotto, which was exactly the same as the 'evil detraining array' he had seen in the magata-shaped tomb before, he immediately thought of something, turned his head and swept his gaze to several other grottoes, and sure enough, he found that almost every grotto had the same green wood coffin placed in it.

"It seems...... This place is the 'lair' of those monsters......" Mu Jianyun stared at those coffins, and then cast his gaze to the dense grottoes in the distance, his face covered with clouds. "In other words, is this just a '*'?"

"There are a few grottoes in front of it that seem to be empty, although there is also a carving of the 'Evil Array', but there is no trace of a broken coffin at all, should it be ......" Jiang Yao remembered the strange situation he saw in the "Chiquan Village" that night, as well as the traces of humans found in the Magata-shaped tomb before, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. "It's the villagers...... They entered here and took the coffins of the monsters from the grotto!"

"But what is the reason why they have to do this at such a risk?" Mu Jianyun was puzzled. "Once the coffin is shattered, those villagers will be attacked by the monsters inside, isn't this self-defeating?"

"The reason is still unknown, but no matter what, we can't stay here for long, if so many monsters are awakened by our 'popularity' at the same time, it's not a joke......" Jiang Yao said and turned around, and was about to exit the stone gate, but suddenly found that Qing Yu beside him was squinting at the stone statue in the distance, as if he was watching something.

"What's wrong?" Mu Jianyun also noticed Qing Yu's actions and asked.

"Underneath that statue...... What does it seem to be engraved?" Qing Yu stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, Mu Jianyun looked up, and sure enough, he found that there seemed to be a strange pattern carved on the base of the stone statue at the end of the bluestone long road.

"It's ...... Map?!"

Mu Jianyun's heart moved, he took two steps forward and looked again, this time he found that the base was not only engraved with a pattern that seemed to be a map, but also densely engraved with many words, but because of the distance, he couldn't see it really.

"If that's really the map here, then there's hope for us to go out......" Jiang Yao thought for a moment, then carefully put down Zhou Wentao on his back and turned to Qing Yu at the same time. "Wen Tao pleases you for the time being, use the 'Flowing Firefly' to hold on here for a while, and I'll go to the stone statue to have a look. ”

"It's too dangerous for you to be alone, I'll go with you. ”

Mu Jianyun stepped forward, his tone was indiscriminate, and Jiang Yao didn't insist, so he and Mu Jianyun stepped on the neat bluestone long road on the pond together, approaching the end of the front step by step, and finally stood in front of the Chiyou stone statue.

“……”

Jiang Yao raised his head, looking at the Chiyou statue that was close at hand, the restlessness in the depths of his soul and the faint signs of impatience, he forcibly endured this indescribable strange feeling, took his eyes away from the stone statue, and focused on the bottom of the stone statue.

I saw that the surface of the regular stone base was carved with a magnificent mountain range, and many winding and interlacing lines were drawn in the continuous mountain range, dividing the entire mountain into several areas, and in the center of the largest area, there was a skeleton monster bound by the magic circle, and around the monster, there was a dense square symbol, arranged in a spoon shape, surrounding the skeleton monster.

"This pattern...... It seems to be ......!?" Jiang Yao stared at the pattern in front of him, his mind couldn't help but recall the murals he had seen on the rock wall of the underground lake before, he turned his head to look at Mu Jianyun in shock, only to find that the other party was also looking back at him with the same surprised gaze.

"...... 'Seven Stars Soul Bundle Array'!"
