There are all kinds of indications that this cave was once a mine mined by humans, but for some reason many years ago, it was abandoned. Along the way, Ning Yue had been thinking about one thing in his heart, when did those bloodthirsty demonic beasts that appeared in this cave start cruising here.

Is it after the caves have been abandoned by humans? Or is it ......? In fact, it was they who expelled humanity from this cave.

Now it seems that the answer should be there. On the ground in front of them, dry bones were scattered everywhere, and according to rough estimates, there were no less than twenty people. Many years ago, there was a brutal massacre here.

"My God, what happened here?" Xu Feng's eyes flashed with horror, and he and the rest of the senior brothers looked at each other a few times, and no one could keep their composure.

"Obviously, it was the monsters who slaughtered the humans who used to mine ore here. And this is the slaughterhouse of the year. Elder Mo sighed deeply, and then, he jumped forward, landed in front of the nearest dry bone, and leaned over to touch it. In an instant, his eyes changed again.

"No, it's not just a massacre. ”

On his fingertips, there was a layer of charred ash, and a small piece of dry bone was missing from his touch.

"These people were burned to death by some terrible flame!"

"No, they were dead before they were burned. ”

Who knows, Ning Yue suddenly spoke up and directly vetoed Elder Mo's point of view. He also stepped into this large area, raised his foot and kicked a cluster of dry bones, accompanied by a slight cracking sound, and a scorched black powder flew.

"But the flame that burned them was no ordinary fire. ”

As he finished speaking, he looked around for a moment, then nodded.

Suddenly, Guo Song, a disciple of the famous Sword Sect, shouted: "Hey, what do you kid mean? In this situation, are they not burned to death, or what?"

"The so-called large sect, it turns out that you can't see it at all?"

With a cold snort, Ning Yue turned around and said, "No matter how fierce the flame is, the flesh and blood that is directly incinerated can only have two ends. One is a charred and charred corpse, and the second is a piece of ashes. It is categorically impossible, only a skeleton remains. What's more, this place is still littered with dry bones. Unless, before it was burned, the man's flesh was gone. ”

"The flesh is gone, what are you kidding?"

When the words came out, Guo Song trembled, and suddenly, he reacted to a very important question.

The previous monsters were bloodthirsty, and the companions they caught were torn apart and eaten. But from beginning to end, those demonic beasts did not show any power related to the fire element. They are definitely not the ones who are responsible for the current situation.

"So, in your opinion, what's going on here?"

Ning Yue didn't answer, to be precise, he didn't have a positive answer in his heart. Looking at the current appearance, a group of demonic beasts slaughtered and ate the humans in the mine, and then another more terrifying demonic beast caused a fire.

So, where is the demonic beast that can control the flames now?

Subconsciously, he looked into the distance, and there was another abyss, with only a bridge connecting the two ends. This time, however, it was no longer a wooden suspension bridge, but a stone bridge.

Secretly aware in his heart, Elder Mo asked, "You mean, there will be another kind of demonic beast waiting for us in front?"

"Perhaps, it's not in front...... I wondered why there was a drawbridge ahead. And here, choose to use the stone bridge?" Ning Yue muttered a few times, walked quickly to the suspension bridge, and looked down at the abyss below. As I had seen before, it was pitch black and bottomless.

After closing my eyes and feeling it carefully, I really found something.

Beneath this stone bridge, there was a faint fluctuation of the fire element.

"Could it be ......?"

Roar! Roar!

At this moment, a roar came from behind, and Ning Yue suddenly looked back, only to see more than thirty demonic beasts surging and collapsing. Behind them, there was even more movement, and a dark shadow could be faintly seen.

Xu Feng also looked back when he heard the sound, and his face was full of shock: "What's the matter, so many people have come at once?"

"No matter what, get ready for battle! ”

As soon as Elder Mo drank the order, he stopped behind everyone with his sword.

In the distance, at the location of the broken bridge that they could no longer see, several demonic beasts stretched out and overlapped each other and grabbed together, forming a flesh and blood bridge, reconnecting the broken bridge, and a large number of other demonic beasts rushed through from above.

Looking at the disciples of the Famous Sword Sect hurriedly pushing over, a trace of ominous premonition flashed in Ning Yue's heart, and after glancing left and right a few times, he didn't find anything, so he had to step on the stone bridge hard. The next moment, I saw a different corpse on the opposite side of the stone bridge.

Although it was also a dry bone, it had not been burned, and he was still wearing a ragged shirt. In his hand, a spear was pierced upside down in the floor, and in that place, in that stone slab, there happened to be a round hole, into which the tip of the spear was driven.

"What is this?"

Ning Yue looked inexplicable, and then looked down at the abyss below, but there was still no gain. Not far away, Elder Mo had already started a fierce battle with the demonic beasts. Under the light of the vertical and horizontal swords, blood splashed.

"Get out of the way, let's get through first!"

Guo Song and Yang Jianfei, disciples of the famous Sword Sect, supported another injured disciple on the left and right, and the three of them walked side by side, and the stone bridge suddenly seemed very narrow. Hearing this, Ning Yue stood sideways and let them cross the bridge.

As for Xu Feng, he chose to stand on the bridge with his sword, waiting for Elder Mo to come back. The remaining matching swords of the Famous Sword Sect are only those of him and Elder Mo, and in addition, there are no more blades.

"Jianfei, you wait here for a while, and I will also block it for a while. It's nice to be able to find a decent weapon here. ”

At the other end of the stone bridge, Guo Song's excited voice came. In an instant, Ning Yue secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted, "You can't pull it out!"

Ping!

Although the voice was timely, Guo Song's movements did not stop at all, and with a quick stroke, he easily snatched the spear from the dry bone's hand and pulled it out of the round hole in the floor.

"What's wrong?"

Shaking the spear in his hand, Guo Song glared at Ning Yue, who was terrified, and snorted angrily: "Your blade refuses to lend us to use, and you don't allow us to find it ourselves?"

All around, there was no abnormality. Ning Yue's heart was slightly relieved, and he shook his head, secretly saying that he was too nervous.

Not far away, Elder Mo fought and retreated, and finally arrived at the bridge, he took the time to look back and drink: "I don't need your help, hurry up and go to the front!"

"Elder Mo, look, they've stopped!"

At this moment, Guo Song shouted. Ahead, the group of beasts chasing Elder Mo suddenly stopped, the tip of their noses shook and sniffed, and they looked at each other with a low roar.

Soon, all the monsters began to retreat.

Seeing this, Elder Mo smirked and said, "A group of useless beasts, they finally know that they are afraid, right?"

"No, it's not us that they're really afraid of. ”

Ning Yue's body trembled slightly, and this time, he felt that the mutation was quietly happening in the cave. In the void, the surging fire element fluctuations are rising rapidly, and the direction of the emergence is under the stone bridge!

The temperature of the originally cold cave is slowly rising.

"Hey, what the hell are you ......"

Before Guo Song's words were finished, Ning Yue suddenly reached out and grabbed it, snatched the spear in his hand, jumped up and nailed it fiercely, and re-pierced it into the round hole in the stone slab.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly turned around and drank, Guo Song's face was gloomy, this was the second time that Ning Yue had snatched his blade. For a warrior, it is more humiliating to have his sword taken away than to die in battle.

"Already...... It's late. ”

Shaking to get up, when he turned around, Ning Yue still caught a glimpse of a bright flame gushing out of the pitch-black abyss under the stone bridge, constantly surging upwards and bursting into an even more brilliant state.

Finally, Elder Mo also sensed that something was wrong, and when he retreated, he saw the beasts in front of him scattering in all directions, and they all turned their heads and ran wildly, faster than when they attacked before.

"Get out of this bridge!"

Boom! Boom!

Flames erupted and roared, and intense heat surged frantically from below. In an instant, bright firelight erupted and swayed from both sides of the stone bridge, illuminating the entire dim cavern. When the fire was extinguished, the hundreds of fluorites that had been inlaid at the top of the cave were still dim.

"What the hell is going on?"

Hurriedly getting up from the ground, Guo Song looked around, and in an instant, his body froze, and his wide eyes clearly reflected the silhouette of a huge figure slowly rising from under the stone bridge.

And, there's more than one.

"Hey, Ning Yue, what did you find?"

Elder Mo hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, dragging back Guo Song, who was sitting on the ground and didn't dare to move, and the horizontal sword blocked in front of him. Further ahead, under the left side of the stone bridge, two stout black shadows stood up, revealing their true faces under the light that ignited out of thin air.

It turned out to be a snake, a strange giant snake burning with inexplicable flames on the top of its head and in its wide-eyed snake eyes, and in its open mouth, two crescent-shaped fangs showed a crystal texture, and the dark red circulating inside was like magma.

"According to my guess, in desperation, in order to deal with the beasts that are raging here, the humans used a lose-lose method. They awakened another terrifying beast, the Behemoth of Fire that had been sealed in the abyss. ”

Ning Yue quickly said, on the stone wall on his right, there was an ancient mural carved impressively. Beneath the abyss, the burning flames, the sleeping serpent. After glancing again, his pupils shrank violently, and he hurriedly reminded again.

"Don't attack rashly!"

However, it was too late, Elder Mo stepped forward and took out his sword, and five sword rays shot out of the air, and another brilliant blue light rose up immediately after, and slashed down in the air.

At the same moment, the two snake heads erupted together with a scorching flame, surging into a sea of fire, and bombarded the five sword rays at the front.

"Carving insect skills!"

Elder Mo didn't think it was a snort, and the blue light condensed on the sword continued to slash down, completely ignoring the five sword rays that were swallowed by the sea of fire in front of him.

Snort –

With one slash, the sea of fire split into two, and his heart snorted again. But in an instant, the situation in front of him was clear again, and at this moment, Elder Mo's eyes were full of horror.

After the flames that collapsed, bursts of brilliant brilliance leaped and flowed. Underneath a brilliant spar, an even larger snake head appeared, and its huge eyes were staring at Elder Mo, who was already less than two meters away. Just one eye is the size of a person. An even more terrifying scorching aura, madness pervades.

On the mural, the sleeping serpent has five heads......
