Chapter Seventy-Nine: Not Like a Good Man
After a ten-minute break, everyone set off again.
Due to the intertwining of ghost vines and vines in the middle of the forest, everyone had to explore along the rock wall.
It was a space with a radius of nearly a kilometer, and everyone quickly turned around, and there was nothing else to find except that the rock wall could be mined.
"It's time to enter this forest of ghost vines. Lin Xiu said.
"Let me get out of the way. Wren couldn't help but get excited when he thought of a group of people following him, this is a God-given moment of pretending, you must cherish it.
"They don't mean anything malicious, please don't hurt them, I've already communicated with them. The female leader suddenly stood up.
"Communicate, you communicate with them?" Wren tugged at the corners of his mouth, with a hellish expression, the ancient gods can't play like this, right?
"Yes, there will be other dead creatures in this forest besides these ghost vine trees, and they have promised me that they will help us protect this land as long as we don't harm them. The female leader explained.
"Really, you're not going to be deceived, are you?" Mei Weisi just said that these ghost vine trees are very dangerous. Wren looked at the female leader suspiciously, and was a little undecided for a while.
"It's true! Plants have simple minds, they can't lie to fool me. The female queen looked around and clasped her hands: "If you don't believe me, I can swear by my surname." ”
"Don't, I'll just ask, don't swear. Wren said hurriedly.
If other people say that they swear by their surname, Wren won't care at all, but who is the female leader? The emperor's daughter, a god-like existence, forced the female leader to make an oath against her will, once the female leader regained her strength, I am afraid that his good luck will come to an end.
In order to strengthen his persuasive power, Wren stepped directly on a ghost vine vine.
The ghost vine under his feet seemed to be frightened, and immediately shrank into the distance, and the ghost vine tree man within two meters in front of Wren also shrank to the side, as if he consciously wanted to make way for Wren.
"Since there is no danger, let's keep along. Lin Xiu said.
"Go this way, the oni vine tree said that there is someone on this side. The female leader pointed to the middle of the woods.
Thanks to the cooperation of the ghost vine tree, everyone quickly reached the middle of the woods, where there was a small wooden house.
The door opened, and out of the wooden house came an old man with a face full of markings, leaning over with a cane, looking at everyone calmly, and behind him there was a child who was full of life, the child was very nervous, and clutched the corner of the old man's clothes.
"It's you!" Wren pointed to the child, speechless for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiu asked in a low voice.
"He's the ghost boy. Wren said, pointing to the lifeless child.
"Ghost boy?" Lin Xiu muttered in a low voice, and the others all looked at this strange old man with a wary expression.
"Don't be nervous, outsider, I have no intention of making enemies of you. The old man said in an extremely weak voice, "I am but a wisp of remnant soul, and I cannot pose any threat to you at all. ”
The old man slowly raised his hand and pointed to the gold pot in Wren's hand: "The person you are looking for is there." ”
"I?jar?" Wren glanced at the old man blankly, and then his eyes fell on the top of the golden pot: "How is it possible? old man, don't be kidding. ”
"Not a joke. The old man led the ghost boy to his side: "Back then, Houqing Zhuangzu was shattered by the great god Nuwa, and only a wisp of residual consciousness fled to this remote place, in order to survive, Houqing Zhuangzu used the Jin Weng blockade to seal himself, but too much time has passed, and the remnant soul has long since dissipated, and the overflowing breath of death has formed this world. ”
"Who are you, why do you know this?" Lin Xiu asked, this old man was the only creature in this secret realm that could communicate, and he had to be careful.
"I'm just an old guy who walks stiff by day. The old man glanced at Lin Xiu, turned around and entered the house: "Come with me, I'll take you where you want to go." ”
Only then did Lin Xiu notice that the way the old man entered the house was floating, he had no feet, and his calves were full of gray mist.
This old man is also an undead!
Li Yan opened the way, and the others were on guard. ”
Lin Xiu's voice was not loud, but it was not small, enough to reach the ears of the old ghost who entered the house, but the old ghost didn't care, and slowly drifted towards the depths of the house.
Li Yan hesitated for a moment and followed in, and the torches lit up the wooden house.
The floor of the wooden house was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there was only a row of small feet on the dust, which were the footprints of the ghost boy; those wooden furniture had many openings, and it looked extremely fragile, as if it would fall apart if it was touched lightly; the corners of the walls were covered with cobwebs, and a few small spiders lay in the center of the cobwebs, quietly watching Lin Xiu and his party who suddenly broke into their lives.
Coming to the middle of the wooden house, there was an extra well in front of Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu, who was digging a well in the house, saw it for the first time, and couldn't help but glance into the well, but the well was very deep and the light was dim, and he didn't see anything famous.
"Everyone, please come with me. After saying that, the old ghost floated directly into the well in front of everyone's eyes.
The child ghost followed behind the old ghost, and his body quickly crawled towards the bottom of the well with an extremely strange movement.
"My lord, I'll go down, if there's no danger, you're coming down. Li Yan said.
"It's fine. ”
Li Yan jumped into the well, and about five meters into the well, Li Yan pulled out Wushuang and Jueying at the same time and stabbed into the wall of the well.
When his body stopped falling, Li Yan drew his weapon, put his feet against the wall of the well, and slowly touched down.
"My lord, I'm at the bottom of the well. Li Yan shouted towards the well.
"Okay, you stand out of the way, I'll drop the torch. ”
After Li Yan finished speaking, a torch was thrown down.
Torches illuminate the bottom of the well, which is the same size as a wooden house, but nothing but dry, hard black soil.
"What's so special here?" asked Li Yan.
"Here it is. The old ghost pointed to a black soil wall, and the little ghost shook the wall twice, and the wall immediately collapsed, revealing a hollow space: "As long as you put the golden Weng that presents the Houqing Zombie Ancestor in it, the magic circle that leaves here will be opened, which is also a means for the Houqing Zombie Ancestor to protect himself, but I didn't expect it..."
"My lord, I've found a circle to lead to the next level, but I'll need a golden urn. Li Yan shouted loudly towards the well.
There was a sound of argument from above, and after a while, Lin Xiu came to the bottom of the well with thorn roses and dark night.
Lin Xiu took the golden urn off his back: "I didn't expect there to be another space down here, I brought the golden urn, where do you put it?"
"Put it here. The old ghost said, pointing to the hole.
"Good!"
As soon as Lin Xiu put the golden urn into the hole in the stone wall, a dazzling bright light suddenly erupted around him, and a six-pointed star magic circle appeared under everyone.
"It worked. Everyone looked at each other, and in this way, the secret realm of the mine cave could be regarded as a successful clearance.
"Okay, the magic circle that left has been opened, let's go!" Although the old ghost's tone was calm, Lin Xiu still heard a trace of impatience in his words.
"There's no hurry. Lin Xiu smiled and took the golden urn out of the groove: "We haven't planned to leave here yet, old ghost, I don't know how much of your words are true information, but I advise you, don't try to deceive me, otherwise I will beat you to the ground." ”
The old ghost didn't mind being threatened by Lin Xiu, but just looked at Lin Xiu calmly.
"Am I right? ”
The old ghost's eyes widened suddenly, and then he smiled bitterly: "It turns out that you have already guessed my identity, so what are you going to do? Kill me? Although my strength has dropped to a low point, as long as this space is immortal, I will live forever." ”
"Kill you?" Lin Xiu held the golden urn with one hand, and waved the other hand twice: "I don't do this kind of thankless work, and I won't disturb your life, after a while, some people will enter this space, I hope to be able to help take care of one or two." ”
Hou Qing looked at Lin Xiu in surprise: "Didn't they let you come and get the ancestral bloodline?"
"Ancestor bloodline?" Lin Xiu scratched his head and smirked: "I just took a fancy to this mine, you have become a ghost, what else is the ancestor bloodline?" and even if it is the ancestor bloodline, it is just a matter of asking the female leader to donate two tubes of blood." ”
"Female Queen?"
Lin Xiu nodded: "Exactly, it's the thin girl in the team just now." ”
The memories that had been sealed for many years instantly poured into Houqing's mind, and the appearance of the female leader slowly emerged in front of him: "Hahaha, no wonder! I have long felt that her breath is very familiar, but I didn't expect it to be the female leader, so she told you everything about me?"
Lin Xiu shook his head: "Not exactly, the main thing is that I feel that you are gloomy, not like a good person." ”
