Yan Juncao looked into the cave for a while, he turned his head and looked at Li Tianqi beside him, as if asking him if he wanted to go in?

Li Tianqi shook his head, "We don't have to go in, seeing that this lair has already been destroyed, the leader inside must have been taken down, and it is useless to go in." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

One of Yan Juncao's entourage said softly, "I've always heard that monsters like to hide treasures, maybe there will be some rare treasures in them?" ”

The people around Yan Juncao casually echoed softly: "Yes, since the leader of the monster has been taken down, and we have all come here, it is better to go in and take a look." ”

Yan Juncao was really moved by what they said, so he said to the recruits behind him: "You wait at the entrance of the cave, let's go in and take a look, if any monsters are scared out by us, don't let them go!" ”

The recruit said, "Yes." ”

Li Tianqi shook his head and said, "I won't go in, just wait outside." ”

"No, you are the only one here who knows the spell, or ......" Yan Juncao said indifferently, Li Tianqi had no choice but to agree when he saw this, and they led five or six retinue veterans into the cave with three torches.

Nangong Shuo wanted to follow up and take a look, but when he saw Yan Juncao's eyes revealing a stern look, it seemed that he wanted to let the two of them not follow up, so he had to pick up Qin Guo and find a stone the size of a basin and sit on it to rest.

The cave was not damp, but rather dry, but it was covered with cobwebs, layered and dense. But apparently many of the cobwebs have been destroyed, not intact.

The cave is very open, and there are many pipes, showing a scene extending in all directions, and the inside is very quiet, only the sound of people walking slowly on the road and the burning sound of fireworks on the torches are heard, and no other sounds are heard.

One of the soldiers raised his torch to shine farther, but before he could do so, he lit a large cloud of cobwebs that hung down, and the cobwebs instantly burst into flames, illuminating a few feet above.

At this time, the people in the cave were shocked when they saw the scene above, it turned out that there were as many as a dozen large cobwebs hanging down like this above, and each cobwebs hanging down were faintly wrapped around individuals.

The burning cobwebs suddenly broke off and fell from the top, falling to the ground with a "pop", and the wrapped person inside also fell out, but the clothes all over his body were already bursting into flames, but he did not move. Apparently he was already dying.

Yan Juncao gasped: "This is the recruit who disappeared last night!" ”

It seems that the people in the more than a dozen cobwebs hanging upside down are the same soldiers who disappeared last night. Li Tianqi cast a spell, and shot out one by one at the places where the cobwebs wrapped in the soldiers were connected to the top, and the firelight appeared, and those soldiers fell down one by one, but they had all stopped breathing, and their faces were black and obviously they had been poisoned to death.

Everyone frowned slightly, and could only continue to move along the wider corridor, and there were destroyed cobwebs in front of them, which led them to the stone chamber dozens of zhang wide on the lower floor.

Countless huge fibrous roots hung from the top of the stone chamber, some of which penetrated deep into the ground again, while the other part of the fibrous roots were connected by layers of cobwebs to form a natural nest.

"Looks like this is the leader's lair." Yan Juncao pointed to these fibrous roots and said, "These should be the roots of those towering trees above, right?" ”

Li Tianqi said: "That's right. Someone has already taken the lead. ”

Yan Juncao thought for a moment and said, "No wonder we were suddenly attacked by a group of small giant spiders after we repaired the bridge, presumably someone took advantage of our attention to attract the giant spider and easily walked into this hole and captured the leader of the giant spider." ”

Li Tianqi nodded and said, "Hmm." Yan Juncao was right. ”

Yan Juncao gritted his teeth and said, "He actually used us as bait." I think it was the women in white who did it, and we all somehow became pawns for others to use, and they took the opportunity to take what they wanted. ”

Li Tianqi said slowly: "Now it seems that maybe it is not only the woman in white who is watching this giant spider's nest, at least the masked woman in black is also suspicious. ”

"Oh? How so? Yan Juncao asked.

Li Tianqi took a few steps forward, as if thinking about something, he said: "You think what she meant in her words, not only do you know that we have been used, but also know that we are looking for the nest of the giant spider, and what makes people feel even more strange, she actually knows that this nest is empty." Isn't that enough to show that she's at least behind the scenes? I don't know what she's here for, but it must have something to do with the spider. ”

Yan Juncao said: "Well, that makes sense. ”

One of the attendants said: "Since there are no monsters here, let's search for any treasures, right?" ”

Yan Juncao's eyes lit up, "You guys hurry up and take a look around, and if not, hurry back here." ”

After the veterans gave up their hands, they immediately scattered in all directions, looking for them in this stone chamber of dozens of feet.

Yan Juncao smiled at Li Tianqi and said, "It seems that you have long known that we will definitely not find out when we come in." ”

Li Tianqi sighed: "I just saw some deep rut marks outside, obviously someone already knew about this place, and then combined with the masked woman's words, I didn't want to come in." ”

Yan Juncao smiled: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Li Tianqi shook his head and said: "It's so difficult to come here, if you don't come in and search, even if Jun Cao is willing, your subordinates may not be willing." ”

Yan Jun Cao smiled and stopped talking, and at this time, those soldiers who were scattered all over the place had rushed back.

Everyone shook their heads, and one said, "Except for the dead branches and leaves and the spider silk that has webs everywhere, there is nothing of value." ”

After a pillar of incense, Li Tianqi and Yan Juncao rushed out with those entourage, and the troops thought that something had happened, and "Huo" stood up in unison.

After Yan Juncao and the others rushed out of the cave, they also brought out a faint smoke.

"There's nothing in there. Set a fire and let's continue our walk towards the basin. Yan Juncao waved his hand. His voice was a little depressed, presumably because he didn't see anything of value.

At this time, everyone simply used some dry food, and because they were all worried about encountering the attack of monsters at night, after a short rest, everyone got up and rushed to the basin......

At night, they have walked out of the woods, into the basin, this kind of landform in Sichuan and Shu, more common, most of the mountains above the basin are about 500 zhang high, and the terrain at the bottom of the basin is only dozens of zhang, there is a lot of difference. Entering the basin and looking at the Songshan Mountains surrounded by all sides, it is like entering a cauldron and becoming the food that everyone is eyeing up, and those Songshan Mountains are salivating hungry people.

More than a hundred people were now wandering on the wide grass at the bottom of the basin, and the nightingale looked down from the night sky, and this neatly arranged team looked like a slowly wriggling caterpillar.

The cold moon hung in the sky, and the shadow on it looked like the legendary Chang'e was holding the moon rabbit and admiring the osmanthus flowers.

In the center of the basin there is a pool of water about a mile long, which looks clear and tranquil in the light of the moon.

The army drank and rested on the spot, for they had been running for several hours, and now they were sleepy and tired, and they were eating dry food without a little oil, water, and energy.

Yan Jun Cao wanted to rush back to the base camp in one go, but seeing that everyone was already listless, he had to order to camp on the spot.

As soon as the order was given, many people began to run into the pool and take a bath.

Others, armed up their bows and arrows, went in search of prey, hoping to find some delicious game to eat. Nangong Shuo and Qin Guo also set off with these hunters.

What Li Tianqi needed now was a quiet place, and he walked alone to the east, where there were large rocks, like a large seashell dotted in the sea of grass.

He stopped behind a huge rock, and the spell of "overwhelming the mountain" flashed through his mind again.

Why doesn't it work? Li Tianqi thought to himself.

He began to practice it over and over again, but each time he cast it had no effect, he felt that some of the internal strength accumulated in his body had disappeared, and he gradually felt tired.

"Howling...... Howling ......" Two sharp chirps came from the air, Li Tianqi hadn't heard such a sound for many years, it was Peng Diao's voice! He couldn't help but raise his head and stare at the night sky above, and faintly saw a peng eagle hovering above in the moonlight. And there seems to be a figure dressed in white on top of the Peng carving.

The eagle spun around a few times, and suddenly flapped its wings and flew forward......

At this moment, Li Tianqi suddenly heard some rustling sounds behind him, and was about to turn back, but he felt a pain in his back, as if a sharp thorn penetrated his clothes from behind and pierced into the skin, he was stunned for a moment, only to hear a low man's voice from behind: "Don't move." The words were stiff and awkward, and it didn't sound like a person from the Central Plains, Li Tianqi then felt that someone had tied his hands behind him, and he was pushed to the edge of the rock.

At this time, Li Tianqi saw more than a dozen burly people, all dressed in robes, half-squatting next to him. The sword against him from behind was a man in his thirties, his eyes shining like beasts in the moonlight.

The bearded man put the short sword in his hand across Li Tianqi's neck, and asked slowly in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

Li Tianqi said indifferently: "Daoist." ”

The beard seemed to be incomprehensible: "Taoist priest? He immediately tilted his face to look at the other person next to him, who had a helpless expression, and it seemed that he did not know.

At this time, a woman in black slowly walked out of the darkness a few feet away, and she smiled lightly: "The Taoist priest is a person who specializes in subduing demons and eliminating demons. ”

The woman in black approached, revealing an incomparably delicate face in the moonlight......
