The three of them chose the middle passage and walked inside.

The black beetles continued to follow the three of them, and the beetles that had entered the cave before never came back, and it seemed that they were still moving forward without encountering the divine beast.

Fortunately, there is no fork in this cave, and looking at the cave wall, it is obviously a natural karst cave, which has been artificially modified to expand the original relatively small cave, blocking some cave entrances that could have led to other directions.

It seems that this is a passage specially built by the witch gods of Phoenix Mountain.

The passage is quite clean, and there is no animal feces and food residues, I don't know if there are no more mythical beasts here, or the mythical beasts here are more hygienic.

Three ** walked for three quarters of an hour, and a faint light appeared in front of them. Wu'an immediately motioned for the three to stop moving forward, and blew out the oil lamp.

"Be careful, this kind of dark cave where you can see the sun is often a place where all kinds of creatures gather, and there is light coming in in front, and it is not far from the Longtan sinkhole." Uan said cautiously.

I saw Wu'an take out a bamboo tube from his arms. Unplugged the bamboo tube, and more than a dozen flying insects flew out at once.

These flying insects did not have any abnormalities at first, but after flying a few feet, their whole bodies began to glow with a faint green light, like fireflies, and at the same time emitted a pungent smell.

"This is the Phosphorus Fire Corpse Gu, specially used to lure away those creatures."

Before Wu An's words fell, he saw a lot of black shadows flying out of the entrance of the cave, and there were hundreds of them, chasing those phosphorus fire Gu worms and flying away.

"Let's go, it should just be some bats."

Wu An said as he led the way in front, and took out three small bamboo tubes from the package and gave them to Xiao Yao and Pan Li.

One end of the bamboo tube was covered with oiled paper, and there were seven or eight small holes in it, and Wu An held it in his hand and waved it around from time to time, and a faint smell of gunpowder filled the air.

"This is sulfur powder, used to drive away snakes and scorpions, we just need to hold it in our hands and shake it gently, and these sulfur powder will automatically and slowly disperse, just try not to scatter the sulfur on the body, so as not to leave too much sulfur smell on the body." Uan explained as he led the way in front.

Soon the three of them reached the exit of the passage, where the corpses of dozens of bats were scattered. They were all black, each half a foot long, and some of the bat's corpses were mutilated.

"These bats were either poisoned by eating phosphorus fire corpse Gu, or they were attacked and killed by various poisonous snakes around them when they just flew out. There is a smell of sulfur around us, which most snakes will avoid, but we should be extra careful, because there is a lack of food in this hole, and some animals may not be afraid of this smell of sulfur in order to fill their stomachs. Uan said.

Out of the hole, what caught the eyes of the three of them was indeed a huge sinkhole.

It is surrounded by stone walls that are constantly tightening upwards, narrowing as they go up, like a gourd-shaped. It is 100 zhang wide at the bottom, but it is nearly half as narrow as it is at the top. The sinkhole in front of me is about thirty or forty zhang high, and the surrounding stone walls are bare and very smooth, all of which are condensed by the erosion of flowing water, and there are almost no plants.

Apparently it was once a huge karst cave, but for some unknown reason, the roof of the cave collapsed, resulting in a sinkhole.

The three of them carefully observed the surroundings, all kinds of shrubs and weeds at the bottom of the cave, and even some huge trees several feet high, and all kinds of trees that were slightly dwarf were densely packed, and the whole cave bottom was like a primeval forest, almost occupying most of the space at the bottom of the pit.

Although the sun is shining here, it is very cold. From time to time, you can see many small animals at the bottom of the pit disappearing from time to time, and there are even many birds nesting in the trees here.

"This Longtan is densely forested, and there are no less than a dozen such cave passages around, which are very convenient for those few divine beasts to hide, so we must be more careful and vigilant at all times. These mythical beasts, which live underground for a long time, are very sensitive to light. We must no longer use fire breakers or oil lamps. Wu An looked around and emphasized to Xiao Yao and the two in a low voice.

"What are we going to do now?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Everyone memorized the hole where we went back, and then we split up to search the sinkhole. I'll release Gu worms to look for them, but it will be slower. You two will need to search the woods from different directions. Luckily, it's not very big, so you just have to look for the traces left by the medium-sized or large beasts. The sacred beasts left by the witch gods are relatively large, and they will definitely leave more obvious traces where they pass. After discovering the divine beast, pay attention to concealment, try to avoid conflicts, and then come back here to sue me. Also, be extra careful when passing through each hole. ”

Uan began to assign tasks.

Xiao Yao chose to look to the left, the bottom of this sinkhole is a typical jungle, but fortunately, due to the limited sunlight, the weeds and trees are generally short, the trees are only one person high, and there are more shrubs, so the sight is still relatively good.

Due to the limited food here, there are significantly fewer animals here than in the outside world, and most of them are birds.

Xiao Yao's actual combat is free, the true qi is running all over the body, his ears are deaf and his eyes are clear, and his senses are more acute. As you walk through the jungle, you observe the movement around you.

The monitor lizard I saw before, such a large volume, if you move forward in this bush, you will inevitably hit those trees, most of these trees are only one person high, only the thickness of a person's calf, that monitor lizard should be able to shoot down a large piece lightly, but I don't know what kind of rare beasts these other divine beasts are, and the information of the Witch God Temple is not recorded.

It seems that almost 200 years have passed, and no one can say clearly now.

Xiao Yao held the iron fan in his hand, swept away the weeds and branches in front of him, and put the little monkey on his shoulder, the little guy's vigilance was much higher than his own.

Affected by the geographical environment and climate, there are not many large beasts in the Miaojiang area, but all kinds of snakes and insects are unguardable, even if they are almost poisonous, but if they are bitten, it is not good.

This sinkhole has obviously not been visited for a long time, the rotten leaves on the ground are piled up half a foot thick, all kinds of reptiles are everywhere, the small animals here don't seem to be afraid of people, and they don't dodge after seeing Xiao Yao.

On the contrary, it was the little guy on Xiao Yao's shoulder, who jumped from Xiao Yao's shoulder to the surrounding trees from time to time, picked some fruits, and ate them with relish.

Xiao Yao was vigilant about every move around him, and he was not worried about a behemoth like a monitor lizard, this kind of divine beast was huge in size and extremely easy to find, but it was necessary to pay extra attention to the five poisonous beasts, which were small and difficult to find, and each body contained deadly poison, which was the most troublesome.

According to the previous confrontation between the little monkey and the monitor lizard, it is inferred that the combat power of these divine beasts should not be much different, and he only came here this time to help them remove the Gu poison on their bodies, but he didn't want to play with his life.
