Although it is very strange and naturally there is no logic at all, Zhang Bin is not much surprised, after all, it is normal for such an ancient closed minority to have strange sacrificial ceremonies.

Not to mention, compared to some of the bloody and terrifying sacrifices he had heard of, it was already very mild.

On top of the high platform was a platform, Zhang Bin looked at the smooth and somewhat excessive platform, and frowned slightly.

Boxy, magnificent and sturdy buildings, although these are a bit exaggerated for the Black Tiger Clan, they can barely be said, but such a smooth stone slab, how is this polished?

Zhang Bin couldn't think too much, the more than 50,000 Black Tiger Tribes below had already knelt down on the high platform, and began to sing a very strange tune in unison.

But Zhang Bin felt a little uneasy.

He glanced at He Yongyi and the other four Ouchi masters under the high platform and the three hundred elite soldiers led by Orimuqiu and Han Saburo, and settled down a little, so he sat on it with Zhu Niang and Xiao Jinzi with peace of mind, waiting for this boring and weird sacrificial ceremony to end.

The ritual begins in the evening, when more than 50,000 people sing the ballad and the sun just sets.

And at the moment when the last syllable of the ballad fell, Zhang Bin's face changed slightly, because at that moment, from the high platform where he was, the sun had just set.

"It must be a coincidence!" Zhang Bin's brows furrowed again.

At the moment when the sun went down, the surroundings of the high platform, and even the entire Black Tiger Tribe, became a dead silence, and everyone knelt on the ground, motionless and silent, as if they had become sculptures.

According to the rules of the sacrifice, Zhang Bin and them stayed on the high platform for one night, and all the Black Tiger Tribesmen also stayed around the high platform for one night.

Under the high platform, there are Zhimuqiu and Han Sanlang, snake slave, He Yongyi and they are on guard, Zhang Bin is not too worried, and Zhu Niang and Xiao Jinzi hugged each other and looked at the moon and stars in the sky for a while, enjoyed some delicacies prepared by the Black Tiger Clan, and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Zhang Bin was suddenly awakened by the roar of Xiao Jinzi.

When he opened his eyes, Zhang Bin's face changed greatly.

Because they are no longer on the high platform, but in a strange space.

To be precise, it was in a stone chamber, and where they were located was a circular point of light, and the rest of the place was pitch black.

Zhang Bin looked up violently, but it was a straight circular hole, and the moonlight shone straight down from the circular hole, so it formed a circular point of light similar to the stage effect of later generations.

Zhu Niang also woke up, exclaimed in fright, and then hugged her son's arm, her body trembling slightly.

Zhang Bin took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Zhu Niang, I'm here." ”

Zhu Niang has always admired and unconditionally believed in her son-in-law, and when she heard this, although her face was still frightened, her body no longer trembled.

And the little gold tense, constantly looking at the darkness around him, let out a low roar, and his golden eyes shone with a faint golden light.

This is a unique feature of felines at night, allowing them to see even in very dark conditions.

After Zhang Bin looked closely, he immediately understood that the stone slab in the middle of the high platform where they had been before had sunk silently, because he saw that there was still half of the roasted wild boar meat they had eaten next to him.

And looking at the circular hole, the depth is by no means more than ten zhang, Zhang Bin even guessed forty or fifty zhang.

"How did the Black Tiger Men build such an exquisite mechanism?" In the dark, Zhang Bin looked incredulous.

"Help........." Zhang Bin raised his head and let out a long howl at the entrance of the cave with all his might.

Except for startling Xiao Jinzi and Zhu Niang, it didn't attract any response.

Zhang Bin didn't give up, and shouted for half an hour in one breath, during which Xiao Jinzi and Zhu Niang also joined in, and the voices of the two and the beast were almost hoarse, but there was still no response, and no one appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The only hole that communicates with the outside world has never appeared, Zhang Bin and Zhu Niang took the little gold, carried the half of the roast wild boar, and began to look for a way out in this strange space.

This space is not large, only more than 100 square meters, but after Zhang Bin carefully investigated and touched, he found that the surrounding walls were faintly metallic and flashing, which was obviously not an ordinary stone wall.

Zhang Bin searched all four walls, but never found a door or a mechanism or anything like that.

But at some point, the little gold clutch touched a stone wall, and with a rumbling sound, the stone wall suddenly parted from the middle.

Behind the boulder, there is a dark cave, without a trace of light, from the outside, it is all black, and there are gusts of cool breeze blowing out of the cave, which makes people have a creepy feeling.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Bin gritted his teeth and took Zhu Niang's hand and walked towards the dark cave.

Little Gold behaved very bravely, taking the lead in the front, and her two eyes were like two small flashlights, which were responsible for illuminating in front.

The brightness is limited, and the cavern is still very dim.

The two of them entered the dark cave one after the other, and Zhang Bin found that the ground inside the cave was unexpectedly flat, and his two feet stepped on it, as if he was stepping on a road large enough for a carriage to gallop.

Obviously, this place must have been artificially processed, and it was handled extremely exquisitely, which is naturally nothing if it is placed in later generations, but in this era, it can only be said to be a miraculous workmanship, but I don't know who made it.

And this walk, that is, after walking for more than half an hour, Zhang Bin suddenly stopped, and his face became extremely ugly.

Although they didn't walk fast just now, they walked for more than half an hour, and they also walked a full four or five miles.

This cave is unfathomably deep.

After frowning and pondering for a while, Zhang Bin took Zhu Niang and Xiao Jinzi back along the way they came.

After more than twenty breaths, the two and one beast stopped again.

Zhang Bin's face became more and more ugly, and the entrance to the cave where they had entered disappeared, as did the hole where they could see the stars and the moon in the sky.

"This place is so weird, the exit has disappeared, and it's a problem." Zhang Bin blushed and told Zhu Niang about the situation.

Zhu Niang gasped, her face was shocked, she just remembered that she had been walking along the cave, it stands to reason that there is no fork in the road, and she shouldn't go wrong!

Zhang Bin stood there motionless, frowning and pondering for a while, took out a dagger from his bosom and carved a mark on the cave wall next to him, and then moved again.

In addition to carving the mark, Zhang Bin secretly counted the steps he had taken as he walked forward.

This time, when Zhang Bin walked 1,312 steps, Xiao Jinzi accidentally touched his head on the stone wall next to him, and suddenly the stone wall sank inward, and a hole appeared on it.

Zhang Bin and Zhu Niang looked horrified, and Xiao Jinzi also bared his teeth and roared at the hole that suddenly appeared.

Nothing appeared inside the hole, and there was no movement.

The appearance of this hole was too weird, but Zhang Bin knew that he had no choice, so he had to take Zhu Niang and Xiao Jin into it.

Finally, this time they walked for a while, and a bend appeared in front of them.

When he turned the corner, his eyes suddenly lit up.

On the stone wall in the distance of the corner, there is a small pearl, which is emitting a bright light, providing light for the dark stone wall passage.

In fact, the light of this pearl is not strong, it is just a faint halo.

However, in this dark place, even if there is only such a halo, Zhang Bin and Zhu Niang can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The two of them and Little Gold walked forward, and after a distance of ten or so paces, another pearl appeared on the stone wall above, and it emitted the same faint light.

After that, every ten steps or so, there was a similar pearl.

Zhang Bin and Zhu Niang glanced at each other, both with a hint of surprise. Such a pearl can be regarded as a rare treasure even in Zhang Bin's eyes at this time. But in this channel, there are at least dozens of them, which is definitely a big deal.

And, ever since they entered the passage, they've been moving forward.

According to the distance taken now, I am afraid that it has gone deep into the belly of the mountain, but this passage still seems to have no end.

The deeper Zhang Bin went, the more shocked his heart became.

Trying to build such a passage may not be a big deal in later generations, but in ancient times it was even more difficult than removing a mountain.

Who used manpower and material resources to carve out almost half of the mountain here and build such a passage?

"Could this also be dug up by the first generation of the Black Tiger Capricorn Clan's Holy Buddha Clan?"

"Then who is the first generation of holy Buddhas?"

I really don't know how such a huge project can be completed, and how can it be covered up and not known? And what is the relationship between these passages and the Black Tiger Clan?

All this was like a mystery, and when he thought of the hostility of the black tiger girl named Shui Yue'er to himself and others, Zhang Bin's heart became more and more uneasy.

Finally, the light ahead suddenly lit up.

Zhang Bin and the two glanced at each other, and they knew that they were probably at the end of the cave!

However, at the end of the cave, there was a huge crystal sphere hanging, and this huge unknown object emitted a strong light, shining the entire cave as if it were day.

Zhang Bin and Zhu Niang looked at this huge crystal comparable to the size of an adult man in dumbfounded, and their hearts were full of shock.

"Childe, what is this?" Zhu Niang asked a little uneasily, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was stimulated by the strong light and couldn't open them completely.

Zhang Bin raised his head and looked at the crystal above his head, shook his head in distraction, and said, "I don't know, but it's ......" He paused, and said in a tone that even he didn't believe: "This thing smells of the sun." ”

Zhu Niang was slightly stunned, and then immediately understood, she lowered her head, and said in surprise: "That's right, I have a feeling of basking in the sun." ”

Zhang Bin nodded slightly, although the glowing pearls outside are precious, they are not unique in this world.

However, the light emitted by the crystal above their heads hanging in the cave at this moment was no less than the midday sun.

Standing beneath this crystal, they could even feel a noticeable heat wave coming in.

"It doesn't seem to be natural, it's like it was created by man." The shock in Zhang Bin's heart far exceeded that of Zhu Niang, but he had never heard of such a thing in the later generations when science and technology were developed, or the level of science and technology in later generations could not make such a crystal that could emit sunlight. ”

"Why is there such a lens in this place that emits sunlight?"

"Why is there such a mysterious passage?"

Zhang Bin vaguely felt that he was approaching a big secret, but the truth of this secret seemed to be hidden behind layers of curtains, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

The main thing is that unknown fears and dangers are hidden in this secret.

Taking a deep look at the crystal as bright as sunlight, Zhang Bin let out a long breath, he lowered his head and carefully looked at the end of the cave.

When they first came to the end of the cave, Zhang Bin and Zhu Niang's attention were attracted by the strange water crystal above their heads.

It's not to blame them, in fact, anyone who enters here is afraid that the first sight will be on this thing.

It is not easy for Zhang Bin and the others to get rid of it so quickly.

It's just that the faces of the two of them changed greatly at this time, because Xiao Jinzi was missing, and they didn't notice it at all.

Xiao Jinzi was already like relatives to the two, and the two were anxious and hurriedly looked around.

Soon the two found the little gold, just looking at the little gold in front of them, the two of them were dumbfounded and creepy.

The little gold turned black.

The beautiful silver fur turned into a pure black fur, although it was still smooth, but the color had completely changed.

If it weren't for the fact that those golden eyes and body shape were still so familiar, Zhang Bin and Zhu Niang would almost not recognize that this was their little gold.

Xiao Jinzi didn't know what he had experienced, and Zhang Bin faintly saw fear in the little guy's eyes.

In fact, when Little Gold saw them, he ran towards them.

Zhang Bin faintly felt that the little gold was not just the fur that had changed from silver to black, but for a while, he couldn't see that there was anything else in the little gold that had changed.

What happened next no longer allowed Zhang Bin to think about it anymore.

Because, for some reason, Zhang Bin suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and became more and more uncomfortable.

It's just that he can't figure out how this uncomfortable feeling came from.

Although the passage is gloomy and dark, this place has a golden and brilliant feeling because of the sun-like crystals above the head, and the breathing in the passage is also very smooth.

Zhang Bin suddenly remembered that under normal circumstances, some hidden places in this passage must have left some vents in some ingenious way, but the vents would never have such a good effect.

Moreover, Zhang Bin soon found that the air in the passage had always remained dry and smooth, very clean, as if it was fresher and cleaner than the air outside.

Zhang Bin's uncomfortable feeling seemed to be because of this, but he soon discovered that what really made him feel uncomfortable was a sound.

A sound that is not loud, but densely packed.

"Poof......

Zhang Bin suddenly heard a sound under his feet, which was the sound of him stepping on something.

He lifted his foot and looked down, but found nothing under his feet, so he cautiously took another step.

"Poof......

There was another sound, Zhang Bin frowned, squatted down to take a closer look, and suddenly found that something seemed to be squirming.

The next moment, Zhang Bin's face changed greatly.

A swarm of black bugs came out of nowhere and was about to surround them.

Countless insects gathered together, and in the distance, it was like a pitch-black carpet, slowly spreading along the ground.

Seeing such a strange and terrifying scene, Zhu Niang screamed in fright, clasped Zhang Bin's arm tightly with her hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Gong...... Childe, this ...... What is it? ”
