Chapter 17: The Ghost Cave

Beishan is the largest mountain in the north of Qinghe City, although it is not in the territory of the land of chaos, but the north mountain is also full of all kinds of dangers, fierce beasts are all over the north mountain, ordinary awakened people only dare to go to the middle of the mountain, and then there are many dangers, it is said that there are many high-level beasts entrenched on the top of the mountain, and there are even more than ten fierce beasts, even the strong people of the tenth section do not dare to go up to this north mountain, although the north mountain is not as terrifying as the land of chaos, but it is also one of the forbidden places of this Qinghe City.

There is a hole on the mountainside of Beishan, the entrance of this cave is very large, the width is more than 100 meters, the height is also dozens of meters, from a distance, it looks like a big mouth opened in Beishan, this hole is called the ghost hole, all kinds of strange vegetation in the ghost cave are clustered, attract a lot of fierce beasts to inhabit, there is no lack of powerful beasts here, here has formed an ecological environment isolated from the outside world, the ghost hole is the periphery of the ghost hole for two miles inside, and then the depth of the ghost hole is more.

Because there are many rare medicinal materials and beasts in this cave, many awakened people venture into it, and those who can come out will naturally make a lot of gold coins, and those who can't get out will stay here forever to become beast rations, although there are many rumors about this ghost cave, but it has not stopped the awakened from going deeper.

There were dozens of people on this trip, Zhang Jiuyi walked in front, and behind him were the third squad and the seventh squad, after all, they received money to do the task, so they had to bear the danger.

The people of the Green Gang didn't pay much attention to Zhang Jiu, and Bai Yu didn't think that the person under the cloak was the one who was abandoned by themselves, and everyone scattered towards the ghost cave, the trees in the cave were weird, the trunks were mostly black, and the leaves were mostly white, perhaps because there was no sunlight, the trees here were mutated, and there were some vines on the stone wall that emitted bright light, and there were also many vegetation in the trees that emitted light, making this cave appear brilliant colors, and the cave was not very dark because of these glowing vegetation.

Sun Tian ate Zhang Jiu's fruit, and took good care of Zhang Jiu, she took the initiative to walk in front of Zhang Jiu, her hands behind her back, turned around and looked at Zhang Jiu with a smile: "Black cloak, your strength is the worst, don't walk in front, it's easy to be attacked by wild beasts in front, since I ate your fruit, it's yours...... Phew, I'll take care of you, my sister is very strong. ”

Zhang Jiu smiled knowingly, this nickname is not very ugly, but this is the first time to be taken care of by a cute girl, but this cute girl's strength is indeed not weak, this world can't look at women from the perspective of a previous life, many women are stronger than men.

Zhang Jiu did not refute, he was indeed too weak, this time is really not suitable for heroes, he stood in the middle of the crowd, although it was a little unsightly to be protected, but since everyone was so enthusiastic, he did not shirk.

Zhang Jiu's behavior deeply stimulated Liu Lang, he always thought that he was the most handsome in the team and should be the most popular with women, but he found that it was not only the cute girl who cared about Zhang Jiu, but even Zhao Man, who he fancied, looked at Zhang Jiu from time to time, originally it was just Zhao Man's curiosity about Zhang Jiu, but in Liu Lang's eyes, this gaze was ambiguous, and he naturally couldn't tolerate it in his heart.

"Zhang Jiu, you are a big man, hiding in the crowd, you are not ashamed, let the woman protect you, you are a man for nothing. Liu Lang still didn't hold back, he couldn't do it here, the people from the Green Gang watched, but they still had to say a few sarcastic words.

Liu Lang thought that Zhang Jiu would be ashamed and lose face, but he didn't expect Zhang Jiu to just spit out three words: "I'm willing." ”

Liu Lang was immediately angry, the expression on his face seemed to be about to swallow Zhang Jiusheng, and suddenly a figure flashed quickly, and everyone suddenly became nervous.

But soon someone grabbed the figure, and a voice came, "It's just a second-stage lightning rabbit, and it doesn't have much attack power." ”

Everyone relaxed, so many people shouldn't be so nervous, but everyone knew in their hearts that it was likely to be a desolate beast to deal with, and the meaning of the desolate beast was different, and the terrifying strength made many people extremely nervous in their hearts.

After walking forward for about two miles, he didn't see too dangerous beasts, let alone Wei Wei, the black wind ordered everyone to stop, he took the initiative to walk in front, and took a look at the depths, Zhang Jiu also found that there was a stone tablet not far from here, and this stone tablet was a warning word.

The mad sword stepped forward and stared at the front solemnly: "Deputy gang leader, this is already the limit, if it goes further is the depth of the ghost cave, there are few people in the depths of this ghost cave, and the people who heard it said that there are many fierce beasts here, and we are afraid that we will lose a lot if we rush in, for the sake of safety, we still don't want to go forward." ”

This is exactly what Hei Feng is worried about, there are many dangers in the ghost cave, there have been many super teams who want to enter and obtain precious medicinal materials before, but basically they have not come back, even if they can come out of it, they all swear that they do not want to enter again in this life.

Hei Feng didn't say a word, standing there looking at the depths of the ghost cave, his brows were tightened, he had a lot of hesitation in his heart, when he came, the gang leader gave a death order to find the wild beast, this is the task imposed by the city lord on the Qing Gang, Hei Feng understands the city lord's intentions very well, the city lord is the gang leader of the Three Rivers Gang, and naturally wants to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the strength of the Qing Gang, if the Qing Gang can't find the wild beast this time, the city lord will also use this as a name to disadvantage the Qing Gang.

Although he knows that the front is dangerous, this operation is related to whether the Qing Gang can survive in Qinghe City in the future, so Hei Feng knows that the road ahead cannot be avoided, but these seven squads and three squads are afraid that they will be seriously injured this time, and the reason why they bring these two squads is also the meaning of the gang leader.

The gang leader Wang Chong has always been interested in Bai Yu, but Bai Yu is a woman with personality, and she will never give in to what she doesn't like, how many times Wang Chong has taken the initiative to show kindness to Bai Yu, but Bai Yu has ignored it, Hei Feng knows that this trip is deliberately done by Wang Chong, and wants to suppress the strength of the three squads and make this woman give in to herself.

It seemed that he had to go to the depths of this ghost cave, and he looked at the mercenaries he had recruited: "Keep going, if you encounter an abnormality, don't go alone." ”

Everyone's faces are not very good-looking, although they know that these five gold coins are not so easy to earn, but a few people still hope to only be active in the periphery of the ghost cave, they didn't expect to really enter the depths of this ghost cave, rumors about the ghost cave, I'm afraid only Zhang Jiu has not heard of it.

Everyone looked at each other, no one took the first step, and Hei Feng had a slight anger on his face: "What? You don't want to continue the mission? Do you know the trouble that refusing to do at such a time will cause you." ”

There is a rule in the Qinghe City Guild, if you refuse the task halfway, the punishment is very serious, and you are not allowed to take the task for a month, which is very cruel for the awakened who survive by doing the task, especially those who have a family, and they have no income for a month, which is basically to judge the end of the family.

Lao Meng smiled bitterly: "Let's go, since you have decided to take this task, you should have this awareness, everyone take care of the people around you, the lone ranger will suffer a big loss here." ”

Bai Yu stepped forward, her cold face was a little more worried, and she expressed her doubts: "Deputy gang leader, the front is deep in the ghost cave, what that person saw is not necessarily true, if that girl didn't come here, we recklessly entered the depths of the ghost cave, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses." “

Hei Feng glanced back at Bai Yu, he didn't want this kind of thing to happen, but he couldn't intervene in the order set by the gang leader, so he could only do it.

"Keep walking, be careful, there will be no accident with so many of us, there is really any danger that we will quickly retreat. Black Wind's words were firm, and no one could change it, but he knew better than anyone else in his heart that the danger in the depths of this ghost cave had been entered by his group a few years ago, and a small number of people came out only thanks to the sacrifice of most people.

Everyone continued to move forward, walking for about ten minutes, Lao Meng at the front suddenly stopped, Lao Song also stopped to look around, these two elders have lived in this world for a long time, for this kind of barren forest, they have more experience than anyone else.

Black Wind didn't stop, until he walked up to a few people, and Black Wind asked, "What's wrong? Why did you stop?" ”

Lao Meng kept looking around, his eyes solemn: "Something is wrong." ”

Zhang Jiu looked around, he knew in his heart that what Lao Meng said was wrong, before they found out, Zhang Jiu had already sensed this kind of wrongness, but he didn't say it.

Hei Feng looked around quietly, he didn't ask, but waved his hand to let everyone take defensive measures, Bai Yu stepped forward in confusion, and Hei Feng spoke: "It's really wrong here, just now we walked all the way, the sound of insects and beasts around us continued, but when we got here, it was too quiet." ”

This sentence brought everyone into tension, and if they didn't notice this strange phenomenon, they wouldn't be afraid, but once they discovered this abnormality, everyone knew in their hearts that they might be in big trouble.

Everyone shortened the distance of the team, formed a circle, and kept looking around with cautious eyes, and some people had a fear on their faces, which was the most test of their mental quality at this time.

The silence of the crowd was exchanged for the continuous silence around them, as if nothing had happened, one person finally couldn't hold his breath, he turned to look at the person behind him: "It seems that there is nothing, are we ......scaring ourselves?"

The man's voice stopped abruptly, and he slowly lowered his head in disbelief, and a huge claw passed through his body on his chest, and the blood quickly spread from the wound, staining his body red.

One by one, they looked over in astonishment, and watched as the man fell.

Zhang Jiu was very shocked in his heart, although he had seen a dead person, he had never seen such a direct way of death, which had a huge impact on his vision.

"There are wild beasts, they are tricky beasts. "Someone's voice quickly spread throughout the team, the beast is shaped like a big mouse, but it has long arms, walks upright, is good at sneak attacks, it is not strong in itself, and the adult beast is only a fourth-order strength, but the terrifying thing about this beast is that they are social animals, and they often hunt together.

Knowing that it was a monster, everyone hurriedly formed a circle and handed their backs to their teammates, if you encounter this kind of monster, if you are alone, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous, even if you are a strong person of ten stages, in the face of such a pair of monsters, it is likely to be successfully attacked by them.

I saw that in the dark grass around me, one by one lurked in it, revealing a very unfriendly gaze, and as the first beast jumped out, many black oppressive pieces rushed towards people.
