Even if the three of them hid in the water, they could hear the screams of the mandrills above, and the sound couldn't help but make the three of them feel chills! Li Tianran couldn't hold back his curiosity and slowly raised his head to the surface. There were a few torches scattered on the ground that had just been discarded, and the flames flickered and flickered, but they had not been completely extinguished, so Li Tianran could still see the situation in the cave a little clearly. But it's okay not to look at it, after reading it, Li Tianran's scalp couldn't help but tingle, and an inexplicable sense of fear arose! Mandrills don't seem to be watery, so they can only escape on the ground, but even if they are so fast, they can't escape their doom!

A mandrill was chased by the black worm in a panic, the black worm instantly passed its calf, the mandrill fell to the ground, could not move, let out a wail, like the last cry of life, but the sound did not last until the time of two snaps of the fingers, it was devoured by the black worm without movement, and after almost ten snaps of the fingers, a scene that shocked Li Tianran happened, the black worm crawled over the mandrill, and there was only a pile of white dry bones, not even a trace of blood! Li Tianran was frightened by the scene in front of him, his eyes straightened, he suddenly remembered the white bones behind the stone stele, it turned out to be all the mandrills here, no wonder the mandrills did not dare to move forward when they arrived at the stone statue, what gods were shocked, it turned out that what really frightened them was these "black worms"!

A trembling voice suddenly sounded in Li Tianran's ears: "Bone-eroding... Beast! Kurdotina! Li Tianran hurriedly turned his head, and at some point Li Boyu also floated up, only to see that he looked frightened and pale, he should have also seen the scene just now, otherwise he would never be scared like this! But Li Tianran didn't understand what he said, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother, what did you say just now?" ”

Li Boyu was stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses, and whispered again in horror: "Kurdotina! Bone-eating beasts! Finished... Ahead we are afraid that ... Can't get by! The tone was full of frustration!

I don't know when Xiaoluo also floated up, and after listening to Li Boyu's words, he didn't wait for Li Tianran to ask again, and preemptively answered: "What are you talking about?" Can you make it clear.,What the hell is this black worm?。。。 What the? ”

While the three of them were talking, the flickering torches were finally extinguished, and there was endless darkness in the tunnel, and there was no movement of mandrills on the river. Li Tianran listened attentively, and the sound of the black insect gradually became quieter, fortunately, the black insect would not be watery, otherwise the three of them would have died at this time! Li Tianran vigilantly dragged the other two back a little, as far away from the shore as possible, in a dark environment, to avoid accidents!

At this time, Li Boyu said slowly: "Actually, I don't know much about this thing, but I heard Ah Lang mention it when I was a child, and the catastrophe in Luoyang fifty years ago is said to have encountered this thing, and according to legend, tens of thousands of people died!" ”

"Tens of thousands!!" Li Tianran couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this!

Li Boyu muttered: "That's true, I heard that the capital was moved back to Chang'an from Luoyang later because of this incident, too many people died in that disaster, and the yin qi was too great!" In addition, I heard that Luoyang City was almost burned to ruins by a fire in order to kill this thing! ”

"Burning the city?" Li Tianran muttered, "Could it be that this thing needs to be attacked with fire?" ”

Xiaoluo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Don't use fire!" ”

"Why?" Li Tianran blurted out.

Xiao Luo continued: "You think, this black worm can't hear the sound, but as soon as we got to the stone statue, they all poured out, what do you say they rely on to sense the things around them? I think it is... Temperature! ”

"Temperature? But how to explain the white bones behind the stele? Mandrills don't use fire, do they? Li Boyu muttered.

Xiaoluo said: "No matter how smart the mandrills are, it is impossible for them to light the torches by themselves, and they are also afraid of fire!" They are killed because of their own temperature! Just like we did just now, we stood there for a while before they came out and attacked! ”

Li Tianran pondered for a moment, then replied: "Well, what Xiaoluo said is reasonable, it should be such a situation!" ”

Li Boyu asked in a low voice, "But... What do we do next? You can't stay in this water, can you? The temperature in this water is not high, and it has been a long time... I'm afraid our own lives won't be saved! ”

Li Tianran replied: "It is definitely not possible to go back, even if you use torches to avoid the mandrill, but in the end it will not help, the water flow at the place where you fall into the water is too large, and it is impossible for us to return to the pool, it seems... We had to bite the bullet and go inside! But... Brother, your words remind me that we should be able to walk through that stone statue! ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Li Boyu replied in a low voice.

Li Tianran said: "Didn't you just say that the temperature in this water is not high? I suspect that the reason why the black worms didn't attack us was because we were in the water, and the temperature was low, and they didn't notice us, so as long as we soaked our clothes and walked through the stone statue before our body temperature went up, it should be fine! ”

"Makes sense!" Xiaoluo responded, "That... Without further ado, we're soaking wet, so let's get off as soon as possible! ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Tianran took the two of them to swim carefully towards the shore, Li Tianran carefully listened to the movement on the shore, and made sure that there was no black insect activity before he turned over and went ashore, he was already frozen by the water in the canal and shivered, if he didn't go ashore again, I am afraid that they would lose their lives if they didn't wait for the black worm to attack, and the two people behind him quickly followed ashore when they heard the sound! Li Tianran grabbed the two of them in the dark, and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute! ”

Li Tianran carefully checked the flint on his body, fortunately he did not lose it, he turned to the wall again, took some firewood from the lamp in the dark, and said: "After the stone statue, we will light the torch again, otherwise we will not be able to escape from this black lamp!" ”

The three of them tiptoed in the direction of the stone statue, the originally empty bluestone slab was already full of mandrill's white bones at this moment, Li Tianran carefully bypassed, he couldn't help but be afraid, he couldn't imagine that this black worm was so terrifying! The three of them tried their best to keep the sound under their feet low, and they didn't dare to breathe, and finally arrived at the stone statue.

Li Tianran whispered to the two of them: "Be careful on the road ahead, if there are any more black insects, run into the water again!" The two of them did not answer, but nodded vigorously, and the three of them set off again. At this moment, any slight movement would make the three of them feel terrified, so the three of them walked very carefully, and finally... The three of them walked through the stone statue and walked a few steps forward, and when they saw that there was still no sound, they slowly breathed a long sigh of relief.

was about to continue walking, suddenly Li Tianran tripped over something under his feet, and almost fell out, but fortunately Li Boyu grabbed his arm when he heard the sound, and then he stood firm! Li Tianran hurriedly leaned down and touched the thing under his feet, judging from the shape, it should be a huge stone slab, and it was more than a zhang high! The inscription on the slate should be facing downward, so the slate is unusually smooth, and there is nothing on it, Li Tianran secretly wondered: "Why is there such a fallen slate?" It really looks abrupt! ”

But when he walked to the end of the stone slab, Li Tianran suddenly discovered that this was not an ordinary stone slab, but a huge stone door! Li Boyu should have also touched it, so he said in a low voice: "How can a stone door fall to the ground?" Could it be that something broke out of it? I see that this door weighs a thousand pounds, what is it that has this power? ”

Xiaoluo answered: "Could it be... Is it the group of mandrills you just encountered? ”

At this time, Li Tianran had already reached the back of the stone gate, there was indeed a dark corridor here, he touched it with his hand, and found that there were some small stone strips at the original stone gate, and there were traces of excavation under the stone gate, which were obviously more concave than other places. Li Tianran thought for a moment, and finally said slowly: "It's not a mandrill, it's a manpower!" ”

"What? What does it do? Who can knock down such a heavy stone gate? No matter how strong the martial arts are, it will never be possible! Xiaoluo was surprised.

Li Tianran called the two over, picked up the stone on the ground and said: "This is not brute force, the person who opened this door can be said to be extremely smart!" You see, these little stones are the stepping stones. Wherever such a large stone door is placed, it is impossible to get the size just right in advance, so when the stonemason installs it, he will first pad some small stone strips under the door, and then place the stone door on it, so that the door can be adjusted tightly! ”

Xiaoluo said in a low voice: "I know this, but... How the hell did he open it? ”

Li Tianran continued: "He dug a little deeper at the foot of the door in advance, and then took out the stone strips of the door little by little, and after all the stone strips were taken out, then the stone door became a suspended state, and it didn't take long for the strength on both sides of the door to be not enough to support, and the stone door would not fall?" ”

Li Boyu took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh: "What a genius! I can think of such a method! I just don't know who he really is? And why are you stuck here? ”

Li Tianran said in a low voice: "Don't hide it, brother, since I saw that stone statue, I feel that this place is more like... A mausoleum! Further inside, it should be the burial chamber. ”

Hearing the word mausoleum, Xiao Luo beside him couldn't help but tremble, and said in a low voice: "Actually... I've wanted to say it for a long time, but... Afraid! ”

"What? You mean someone came out of the mausoleum? So who is he? Ghosts? Grave repairer? Li Boyu asked in a low voice.

Li Tianran continued to reply: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a ghost... What ghosts are there in this world? ”

Xiaoluo continued: "Have you forgotten what you encountered in the Holy Soup Palace... Dragon? ”
