The man on the ground was very strong, but his face was dark and blue, his eyes were prominent, his face was distorted, and his right hand was tightly holding an unsheathed steel sword, dressed in a samurai suit, but there were no obvious wounds on his body.

"Xu Gongzi, this person is dead, he looks scared to death, I don't know what I saw?" Daoyuan frowned, observing the surrounding environment with a wary expression.

"Huh~~" Daoyuan suddenly dismounted, walked over to the man, bent down and ripped something off his neck.

"Tomb robbers, generally speaking, are very bold, and the things that can scare him to death are probably not simple, we have to be careful." Daoyuan got up and came to Xu Gangma with a worried expression.

When Xu Gang heard this, his hairs stood on end, and he instantly raised his vigilance: "How can you be sure that he is a tomb robber?" ”

"Xu Gongzi, look, this is an imitation gold talisman." Dao Yuan spread out his palm, and a jet-black cone-shaped pendant about an inch long appeared in front of Xu Gang's eyes.

"Is this the gold talisman, why do you say it's a replica?" Xu Gang pointed to the claw-like ornament in Daoyuan's hand, looking puzzled.

Daoyuan looked at the talisman in his hand, looked at Xu Gang, and explained: "Xu Gongzi, the real gold talisman is made with the claws of the pangolin, and the sharpest claws of the pangolin are not so black, but yellow-white or milky white, and the middle finger is the best, the material of this talisman should be made of the claws of animals such as badgers." ”

Xu Gang didn't want to have any conflict with the tomb robbers, but he felt faintly uneasy in his heart, and always felt that the target of this group of tomb robbers was the corpse incense konjac. Xu Gang frowned, and said coldly: "Since he is a tomb robber, it is impossible to come to rob the tomb without any tools, I'm afraid he is not the only one who robs the tomb, maybe his companion is nearby, let's not be nosy, hurry up!" ”

"Hmm!" Dao Yuan responded, casually threw away the anti-control touch gold talisman in his hand, and continued to move forward.

"Daoyuan, Lord Wang seems to have said that as long as the mature corpse incense konjac is close to a living creature, it will emit a phantom gas, do you think the tomb robber who died just now is not like he was scared to death by the illusion created by the corpse incense konjac?" Xu Gang finally said what he thought and wanted to hear Daoyuan's opinion.

"Could it be that this group of tomb robbers is also here for the corpse incense konjac?" "This group of tomb robbers can find here, they should also be prepared, and they must not be taken lightly, we must get the corpse incense konjac before them!" Xu Gang sped up again.

The weather was getting darker, and the fog quickly filled the valley at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the trees loomed in the mist, and at a glance, only about seven or eight feet could be seen, and insects chirped everywhere, swearing their authority in their own territory. The trees and vines in the forest are intertwined, the vines are full of barbs, and the horses are stabbed and painful, no matter how Daoyuan drives, he does not want to take a step further. Daoyuan had no choice but to dismount, draw out his long sword, and cut a road hard, Daoyuan's chopping sound overshadowed the sound of insects was extremely loud, and there was a faint echo, which made the forest more quiet.

"Hiss"

Suddenly, the horse snorted continuously, his steps were chaotic, and he became restless, and Daoyuan tightly held the reins to prevent the horse from escaping.

At this time, in the forest in front of the valley, there was a dull thunder, the earth seemed to tremble, the sound was getting closer and closer, knocking on the ground one by one, it seemed that some large beast was running towards the location of the two, listen carefully, the sound of thunder was mixed with the sound of wolves.

"Daoyuan, I seem to hear a wolf howl, I'm afraid some big beast is being besieged by wolves, let's retreat!" Xu Gang turned the horse's head while shouting, and after Daoyuan got on the horse, they rode the horse to and from the road together.

The road shrouded in fog was impossible to distinguish in the rush, and soon Xu Gang and the others were lost.

"Dao Yuan, running like this is not a way, we have to find a place to hide!" Xu Gang shouted loudly to Daoyuan, and observed the surrounding environment, suddenly he pointed to a huge nanmu tree near the edge of the hillside, Daoyuan nodded, and the two controlled the horses to gallop over.

This nanmu tree is more than five feet tall, large and straight, and grows close to the steep slope of the mountain.

Xu Gang observed the situation of Wu Ling'er, and was relieved to see that she was still the same and there was nothing abnormal. I saw that he quickly tied Wu Ling'er to his back with his robe, and said to Daoyuan: "Climb up!" ”

"Have you ever seen a Taoist priest climb a tree!"

"Knowing that you are good at light work, you just fly up! Quick, there's not so much time for you to think! Although Xu Gang didn't have light skills, he had already climbed to the treetops in the gap between his words.

The roar behind him was getting closer and closer, and a few faint bits of light could be seen.

Daoyuan no longer hesitated, put the burden on his back, jumped into the tree, and the horse was no longer in a bond, and fled into the fog curtain and disappeared.

"Bang, click~~" A big tree not far away broke in response, and a huge boar was knocked out from behind the tree, the fangs on both sides of the mouth were bent upward, and it was estimated that there were thousands of catties of weight, but fortunately they hid in time to this big tree, so they were not attacked, otherwise the consequences were really unimaginable.

After breaking the tree, the wild boar continued to run forward, and behind it there were more than a dozen wild wolves chasing in a semicircle unhurriedly, neither pounced and bited, nor too far away, slowly consuming its physical strength, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The sound of "boom" gradually faded away, coming down from the tree, looking at the mess left by the wild boar when it fled, Xu Gang felt very lucky, otherwise it would be too difficult to find the right direction in the fog.

The two of them cautiously shuttled in the fog, one foot deep and one foot shallow stepped on the thick dead leaves, there was a rustling sound, looking at the locust trees that kept disappearing in the fog behind them, and constantly appeared in front of them, Xu Gang and the three of them all wore special masks to prevent miasma poisoning.

"Daoyuan, have we entered the fierce ghost ditch? You see, it's full of locust trees! ”

Daoyuan looked around, completely shrouded in mist, looked at the burning torch in his hand, and nodded: "Young Master Xu, we should have entered the fierce ghost ditch." ”

"Xu Gongzi, look at it" Daoyuan suddenly exclaimed, pointing not far in front of him.

Xu Gang looked at the direction of Daoyuan, and saw a hole not far ahead, the entrance of the hole was about one zhang wide, there was a lot of soil piled up on the edge of the hole, and there was a very thick hemp rope on the edge of the hole, which hung straight into the hole, and one end of the hole was tied to a **** locust not far away.

"Could it be the grave robbers?" Xu Gang looked at the hole in front of him and said to Daoyuan.

Dao Yuan bent down, grabbed some dirt with his hand, observed it carefully, and sniffed it with his nose: "These are all dirt that has not been dug out for a long time, I am afraid that this hole leads to the tomb, and someone entered the tomb one step ahead of us!" ”

"In that case, let's hurry down too! It's okay to save us from looking for entrances everywhere, but I don't know how many people there are in that group of tomb robbers, and how are the martial arts? Without waiting for Daoyuan to speak, Xu Gang continued: "We have to prepare some tools and the like, arrange them as we go, and if we can't beat them, lead them to the trap we have arranged!" ”

"Okay, be prepared!" Dao Yuan nodded approvingly.

After about a stick of incense, the two of them stood on the edge of the cave with a sharp wooden stick made of local materials, lifted the hemp rope, tied the wooden stick to the hemp rope and put it down first, Xu Gang lit a small ball of cloth soaked in clear oil, threw it into the hole, the fire ball fell about a zhang and lay on the ground of the tomb, the light emitted only reflected red, and the surrounding area was swallowed by darkness less than two zhang.

Dao Yuan saw that the height was so low, so he handed over the burden on his back to Xu Gang, and Xu Gang just received the burden before he could speak, he saw Dao Yuan jump and jumped off the thief hole.
