The old butler, Prince Xia Zuo, followed closely behind, and also walked away with the shaking chains. After a dozen or so efforts, they all ran over the lonely chain.

Standing by the river, Auston in a cloak from the shoulders down his shoulders looked up at the sky. The bat, which had been hovering above Zhongjin's head for a while, flew forward again, and Xia Zuo waved his hand, "Keep going!" ”

More than a dozen flashlights were extinguished in an instant, and several people who pulled out their machetes rushed forward again, swinging their knives left and right to slash to open the way, and a group of people followed, quickly disappearing into the dark dense forest.

In less than an hour, a group of dusty people once again drilled out of the dense forest and lined up, and couldn't help but stop.

The barren mountains in front of him are barren and rugged, not as dense as the forest behind them, the mountains and rocks are strange, and the scattered old books and vines are entangled like old demons.

There was a miserable mist floating in the low sky, blocking the moonlight in the air, and the sharp and piercing chirping sound could be heard from time to time around.

From time to time, the blood bats hovering in the air came and went in and out of the gloomy clouds, making a rapid 'squeaking' sound, as if they were in a hurry to summon them to follow quickly.

Auston pinched the mustache at the corner of his mouth with two fingers and nodded slightly, Xia Zuo waved his hand again: "Keep going!" ”

The four who opened the road immediately carried a machete and quickly moved forward, followed by Auston and the old butler Xia Zuo, who was covered in a black sè cloak, and finally followed by a group of people who entered the jǐng and looked around.

The group walked quickly along a meandering stream, groping in the darkness covered in mist.

It didn't take long to finally arrive at the foot of an oppressive mountain, at the foot of which was a waterhole, and the blood bats that had been hovering above the waterhole for a while suddenly swooped down and swept lightly under the mountain rock containing living water, making a 'squeaking' sound in the mountain rock, as if beckoning them to come in.

Xia Zuo turned around and said respectfully, "Sir, it should be here." But it doesn't seem to be guarded at all, and I don't know if the 'king' is here. ”

Auston glanced around and exclaimed in some amazement: "It's such a hidden place, if it weren't for the blood bats leading the way, even if you knew the place, you would get lost." The fingers twisted with the figure-eight beard suddenly pointed at the waterhole.

Xia Zuo immediately turned around and said, "Leave two to guard outside, and the others to go in." ”

Two of them quickly ran to the waterhole to guard the left and right, and a few of them with large bags on their backs quickly took out a ball of things from their bags behind each other to untie them.

I saw these things in their hands one by one, and then they could hear the sound of rapid breathing, and the things in their hands were rapidly expanding. Soon, four thin inflatable kayaks appeared in their hands with white spoons, and the equipment they brought was quite complete.

The kayak was pushed into the water, and three of them climbed up, and as soon as the tail entered and stretched out its legs to step on the shore, the kayak swung forward lightly.

Due to the limited height of the mountain rock and water surface containing living water, the three entry on the boat quickly lay down, and the entry on the left and right sides used the hand as the oar, one of which felt the strong light flashlight and turned on, glanced ahead, and the kayak carried the three into the bottom of the mountain rock slowly.

Soon there was an echo from the three entrances who were the first to explore the path inside, "There is a large cave hidden inside, you can come in." ”

Xia Zuo waved his hand, and immediately stepped into the icy pool water to hold the two kayaks steady, Auston and Xia Zuo stepped on the kayaks steadily, and both lay on the boat. The two boats climbed into two and lay on the left and right, each stretching out one arm and rowing with his hand as an oar. Three more people lay on the last boat, following and rowing.

A total of fourteen of them came and twelve entered, and two more were guarded to the left and right of the waterhole outside.

After four or five minutes of slowly moving forward with flashlights on the four kayaks, I could feel that the temperature inside was getting lower and lower, and the water surface was bubbling with a hint of cold, but the cave above was gradually rising.

Strange and unfamiliar places can always cause a high point of entry, the black sè cloak and the body of the boat with a mustache twisted in the boat Auston suddenly swept into the water with cold eyes, and the old butler Xia Zuo also quickly said in a loud voice: "There is something in the water!" ”

The paddling people immediately retracted their hands from the water, and quickly stood up one by one and turned on the strong flashlight to see through the cold and dark water, only to see that under the cold mist, from time to time there were half-long white shadows shuttling rapidly in the water.

When everyone was looking to see what it was, there was a 'bang', and a white shadow broke through the water and rushed straight to Auston in the boat. Auston, who twisted his beard, struck out like lightning and grabbed the monster in his hand.

It was an eel-like monster with a body curled around Auston's wrist, snow-white and slimy mucus. The head is like a plucked dog's head, and it is a bit like a streamlined face, which looks extremely disgusting, and there are also serrated teeth in the mouth, struggling fiercely, with great strength.

"Disgusting!" Alston snorted, pinched his fingers, and the 'poof' water monster was directly pinched and exploded, and with a shake of his hand, he threw the corpse into the water.

Almost at the same time as the first water monster broke out of the water, one after another water monster broke through the water and pounced, and the people on the boat quickly shot and knocked the monster into the water. However, the surrounding water surface is like a boiling pot, and there are more and more water monsters, and it is impossible to finish fighting.

"Hell!" Under the group beating of the water monsters one after another, two of them were finally bitten by the monsters.

Similarly, the kayak was also attacked by the water monster, and the sound of 'poof' leaking air sounded one after another, and the twelve, including Auston, rose up one after another, spread their limbs and climbed on top of the craggy cave, turning their heads to look down.

You used a strong flashlight to scan the water surface below like a boiling pot, and you can see that there are dense white sè water monsters constantly gathering from the water in all directions, catching the four deflated kayaks and attacking and biting frantically, and it didn't take long to tear the four kayaks into pieces, which was extremely brutal and made the scalp numb.

Xia Zuo took a breath and said, "What kind of monster is it?" It's the first time I've seen it after so many years of living. When he turned around, he suddenly noticed that two of his subordinates who were hanging upside down on the roof of the cave were shivering, and it was the two who had been bitten by the water monster, and I saw that the blood from their white spoon wounds suddenly turned black.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Zuo exclaimed.

The two of them hung on the cave with a shaky look, and one of them shivered: "It's so cold." Another shuddered, "The monster's teeth are poisonous. ”

Auston glanced at the blood bats flying back and said in a deep voice, "Get out of here first." ”

A group of people quickly crawled backwards in the direction guided by the blood bats, but before they could climb far, the two injured blood clans couldn't hold on, and they couldn't even make a sound for help with their trembling mouths, so they fell into the water one after another.

The others who climbed backwards were startled, and they all hovered above the cave and turned their heads to look, only to see that the water surface below had been messed up, and a large group of water monsters heard the sound and rushed quickly, surrounding the two people who fell into the water and biting wildly. Under the light of the strong flashlight, the shadows of the two entrances soon disappeared, and only large clouds of blood surged on the surface of the water.

The two Marquis of the Blood Clan were killed by a group of water monsters in this way, and the group took a breath, but they didn't expect the poisonous xìng attack of this water monster to be so violent and fast.

"Let's go!" Alston spoke up decisively, and did not linger for the dead two, and the others quickly followed him backwards.

Finally came to the end of the cave, jumped and landed behind a platform, and the hovering blood bats swept over and lay directly on Auston's shoulder. Auston reached out and stroked it, and everyone's eyes fell on the stone door of the dungeon.

The old housekeeper Xia Zuo walked over, pushed hard, and punched twice, but found that the stone door did not move at all.

He took two steps back, opened his arms, and let out a 'ho' roar, which instantly went berserk, and two fangs bared at the corners of his mouth.

I saw him rush forward with a punch, and the hard, half-meter-thick stone door was punched out of a basketball-sized hole by him, but the stone door did not collapse, and the texture was not ordinarily hard.

Xia Zuo, who was in a frenzy, immediately swung his fists left and right, and in a 'bang' sound, the ancient big stone gate was forcibly destroyed by him.

The two subordinates immediately drilled into the smoke-filled passage with a strong flashlight, and the frenzied Xia Zuo followed, and Auston, who caught the blood bat in his hand and pacified him, also led it in.

Ignoring the rotten bones that were killed by the organ shè in the passage, the group strode forward, and after seeing the huge tombstone standing in the stone room halfway, Auston stopped, studied the words on the tombstone, and glanced around at the murals on the stone walls around him, and said with a slight smile: "I can't imagine that the first king of Yunnan in the real sense of China is buried here." ”

Xia Zuo asked, "Sir knows about him?" ”

Auston stretched out his hand and stroked the huge tombstone, looked around at the murals around him and said with a smile: "I know that this great king first started with a beautiful love story, and legend has it that this hero who unified the six edicts originally held a banquet to invite the leaders of the other five edicts to worship his ancestors in order to defeat the other five edicts. Bai Jiefu, the wife of the leader of Deng Yunzhao, was clever and intelligent, suspecting that it was a trick, and prevented her husband from going, but unfortunately her husband did not listen to her, so she put her bracelet on her husband's hand when they parted. Sure enough, during the banquet, His Majesty the king set fire to the building where the banquet was held, and burned the other five chiefs to death. It is said that the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty in China later imitated him and burned his heroes to death by the same means. ”

Xia Zuo smiled: "Mr. is really knowledgeable, since it is a beautiful love story, the Bai Jiefu that Mr. said should have a story, right?" ”

Auston nodded and smiled: "After Bai Jiefu heard that her husband was killed, she brought soldiers and horses overnight, and picked up ashes with her hands in the burned place, until her hands were bleeding, and she found and identified her husband's body wearing her own bracelet. But the tyrannical king was amazed by Bai Jiefu's beauty and wit, and wanted to possess her. After Bai Jiefu buried her husband, in order to keep her name and loyalty to her husband, she jumped into a place called Erhai and committed suicide. It is said that this festival later became the local 'Torch Festival', which has continued to this day, but this is just a legend. He smiled and waved his hand at another stone door behind the tombstone, signaling it to open.
