The pitch-black thing, about three meters long, really looked like a piece of wood from a distance.

Ye Qing stood far away, so he couldn't see clearly, but he didn't dare to really treat this thing as wood. After all, how could such a piece of wood appear in this water? Moreover, Ye Qing also vaguely saw that the part of the thing soaked in the water was still a little white, which was completely different from wood.

With doubts in his heart, Ye Qing didn't dare to be careless, clenched the iron dagger, and tentatively walked towards this thing. When he was still seven or eight meters away from this thing, Ye Qing finally saw clearly, this thing turned out to be a crocodile!

Seeing this thing clearly, Ye Qing's scalp also exploded all of a sudden. He knew very well what it would be like to meet a crocodile in such a narrow space, especially in the water. Even if it is a tiger and a lion, if it falls into such water and meets a crocodile, it is certain to die, let alone a person.

It was too close to this crocodile, Ye Qing didn't have time to escape at this moment, he could only hold the iron dagger tightly, and he had already made plans in his heart. If the crocodile pounces, then he will kill the crocodile with an iron dagger. If he can't kill this crocodile, then this crocodile will definitely not let him go.

However, Ye Qing stood in place for nearly five minutes holding the iron dagger, but the crocodile did not move at all. The crocodile was always floating in the water, always in place, not even moving from beginning to end, as if it were a fake crocodile, and I don't know what was going on.

Ye Qing felt something strange in his heart, holding the iron dagger, he also had some courage in his heart, he slowly approached the crocodile, and found that the crocodile still didn't react. Surprised in his heart, Ye Qing tentatively reached out and patted the crocodile, but the crocodile still didn't move, as if it was dead.

"Could it really be dead?" Ye Qing muttered in his heart, looked at the crocodile, gritted his teeth, and reached out to turn the crocodile over.

During the whole process, the crocodile was motionless, turned over by Ye Qing, and floated on the water with its back down and stomach up. And Ye Qing saw it clearly, there were three deep knife cuts on the crocodile's stomach, the crocodile's blood had been drained, and the wounds had coagulated, it seemed that it had been dead for a long time!

Seeing that the crocodile was dead, Ye Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was even more surprised in his heart.

There are such crocodiles in such an underground river, it seems that someone must have deliberately stocked them here. It's just that how can a crocodile survive in such conditions? In such a cave, there is not even light, and even if the crocodile has enough food, it will not live long. Could it be that there are other passages in this underground river where crocodiles can go out and see the light once in a while?

And then there is, how did this crocodile die here? Look at the wound on its stomach, it should have been cut by someone, this crocodile was killed by someone. But who killed this crocodile?

Looking at the rotting condition on the crocodile's body, Ye Qing could basically deduce that the crocodile had been dead for less than ten days. In other words, the crocodile was killed within 10 days. So, in ten days, there were still people in it, but did they find anything in it?

With doubts, Ye Qing continued to move forward, wanting to see what was going on inside the cave. Walked forward for a distance of about three hundred meters, all the way there has been this kind of waterway, and Ye Qing saw the corpses of four crocodiles, which were exactly the same as the previous crocodiles' deaths, it seemed that those people must have done it before. It can be seen that there should be a few good players among this group of people, after all, if you want to kill crocodiles in this water, weapons alone are not enough.

Walking to this position, a stone path finally appeared on the left side of the waterway, and people could jump out of the water. When Ye Qing arrived here, he must have jumped on it for the first time. In the water, who knows when it will be attacked, and the crocodile may not all be dead.

Ye Qing stretched out his hand and pressed the stone platform on the shore, and was about to jump on it hard, but at this time, his body inadvertently touched something on the edge, which was soft to the touch, which was very strange.

"What is it?" Ye Qing turned his head to look, not looking at it or worrying, this look was suddenly startled. In the water at the edge of the stone platform, there was a thigh soaked in the water, and the root of the thigh was completely broken. In other words, all that's left here is a thigh. These thighs have been soaked in water for a long time, and they have begun to rot, which is even more disgusting to watch.

No matter how good Ye Qing's psychological element is, when he sees these things, he will inevitably feel a little sick to his stomach at this moment. He hurriedly jumped out of the water onto the shore, then turned his head to take a closer look, and found that the flesh at the base of the thigh was obviously bitten and torn, not cut off by a sharp weapon. From this, it can be inferred that a person should have been bitten off his thigh by a crocodile when he climbed up from here before, so only one thigh was left here.

Looking at this qiē, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't know what was in this cave. The people who entered here are really desperate, one died outside first, and another person here lost his thigh, and it is estimated that he will not live long. Is it worth fighting so hard for the sake of what's inside the cave?

Sighing, Ye Qing didn't stay here, he walked along the stone corridor and continued to walk for a distance of about a hundred meters, and suddenly found that there was a person on the side of the road. Ye Qing looked carefully, this person still maintained the posture of crawling forward, and he only had one leg left, and the other leg seemed to have been torn off by something. There is no doubt that this person is the owner of the thigh before.

Ye Qing walked over and turned this person over, and looked at it carefully, this person was pale, and he had been dead for a few days. It seems that he must have been bitten off by a crocodile and abandoned by his companions, and died here due to excessive blood loss.

Looking at this deceased, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel in his heart that this batch of people who came down was really impersonal. Kill one outside, and when you get here, you throw another wounded person, and these people are probably not good goods.

Rummaging through the things on the deceased's body, Ye Qing suddenly found a brand. And this brand, Ye Qing has seen it, it is the mark of the Nanling faction.

Seeing this brand, Ye Qing's heart couldn't help jumping, it seems that this deceased should be from the Nanling faction. In this way, is it still someone from the Nanling faction who came in?

Last time outside the secret room where Patriarch Bodhidharma passed away, when Shen Qianyue took those dead corpses to deal with Ye Qing, the eight masters of the Nanling Sect helped Ye Qing resist for a while, so Ye Qing was able to escape. And after that, the eight gate masters have never seen each other again, but Wen'er, the daughter of the gate master, followed Ye Qing to Shenchuan City.

During that time, Ye Qing also sent someone to inquire about their news, but there was still no news of these eight masters. In fact, Ye Qing was a little desperate for the situation of these eight major masters in his heart, but before he found the corpses, he was unwilling to admit that these people had died.

And now, seeing the people of the Nanling faction here, Ye Qing involuntarily connected with the eight major masters, could it be that the eight major masters came to rob the tomb with their subordinates?

Thinking of this, Ye Qing was overjoyed in his heart. If it's really the Eight Great Masters, then things are fine. Although these eight masters had a lot of grievances with Ye Qing before, they also tried their best to save Ye Qing last time, which made Ye Qing very grateful to them. Moreover, Wen'er is in Shenchuan City, and Ye Qing takes good care of her. Even if it is at Wen'er's level, the Eight Great Masters will not embarrass him, and maybe they can take him out of this mountain of death.

With excitement in his heart, Ye Qing was about to move forward. At this moment, a slight sound suddenly came from the stone corridor in front.

Ye Qing listened to it, and the sound slowly became louder, but it was a heavy footstep, slowly approaching him, as if someone was coming.

The first thought in Ye Qing's heart was that the people from the Nanling Sect were back, but the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Ye Qing was becoming more and more uncertain in his heart. Because, the footsteps were so heavy that it didn't look like he had practiced martial arts, but as if a fat man had come over. How could there be such a person among the Nanling faction?

This cave is full of weirdness, and Ye Qing doesn't dare to be careless. He hurriedly stepped back a bit, went around a corner, and hid behind the corner to look at this side, trying to see what was coming first. If it's someone from the Nanling faction who comes, then it's okay, but if it's not a person, then it's okay.

The footsteps drew closer, and finally, a dark figure stepped out of the hallway. Ye Qing saw it clearly, this was a figure with a height of more than two meters, extremely tall and strong, this figure alone gave people infinite pressure.

Among the eight masters of the Nanling Sect, there is no one with such a stature at all.

Ye Qing didn't dare to go out, so he only hid in the dark, wanting to see more clearly. At this time, the figure had already walked in front of the corpse just now. It looked down at the corpse, and suddenly reached out a hand, grabbed the corpse and carried it on its shoulder, then slowly turned around and walked back along the path it had come.

When this figure turned around, Ye Qing finally saw the condition of his body clearly. This person's body is covered with dense hair, just like a gorilla. It's just that its brush gorilla has longer hair, and it looks like a hairy person, not a normal person at all, but more like a monster.

Ye Qing never dreamed that he would encounter such a strange person in this cave. I couldn't help but be glad that I didn't wait for this strange man to come over just now, otherwise, it would be dangerous for this strange person to find him.
