Chapter 21: The Eighteen-Story Demon Tomb

Jiang Xu followed the sound and walked straight forward a hundred meters away, the whimpering sound had long since disappeared, and the surroundings were also quiet and terrifying, and he couldn't detect any demon beast breath along the way, in order to prevent accidents, Jiang Xu made a simple signal to tell Yue Yao the direction he was heading.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the visibility of the line of sight was extremely low, Jiang Xu carefully surveyed the surroundings, and the source of sound transmission was near here. He wondered why the voice resonated with a hint deep in his veins.

Suddenly, Jiang Xu just felt that his feet were low, and the land within a radius of ten meters around him all sank, and Jiang Xu couldn't exert his strength and fell down. After a long time, with a rumbling sound, the whole land was restored to its original state......

Jiang Xu suddenly hit the mechanism and had no chance to control his body, so his head hit a stone, and he was immediately knocked to pieces, and then he kept rolling down an almost straight passage, and the whole person fainted. I don't know how long it took before I woke up slowly.

Jiang Xu rubbed his aching head, and his body was about to fall apart, and it took a while to come to his senses. Jiang Xu began to look at the surrounding environment, the surroundings were not pitch black, there was a faint fire in the entire cave, but the location of the fire source could not be seen for a while, it seemed to shine from the middle of the cave.

Jiang Xu found that there were a large number of corpses around, judging from the shape, there were both humans and demon beasts, some of them didn't seem to have been dead for too long, and from time to time there was a foul smell......

Jiang Xu thought that this place was still on the edge of the forest, and there might be a lot of humans and demon beasts around every day, but he had never heard of any mechanism caves or anything like that, could it be that this mechanism was controlled by someone, and it was not triggered every time someone passed by?

Although he knew that the future was uncertain, Jiang Xu still kept his composure, and it was better not to be too anxious when he woke up.

Jiang Xu walked towards the center of the cave, and by the light of the fire, Jiang Xu found that the cave was very large, and the surrounding cave walls could not be seen where the firelight reached, and the passage he had just fallen from was on the top of the ten-meter-high wall, and it was obviously impossible to return the same way.

As he continued to move forward, Jiang Xu felt that the temperature in the air was also rising, although the impact was not great, but it was also upsetting and irritating in such a predicament. After walking slowly for 100 meters, I found that there was a cliff, and when I looked down, it was dozens of meters deep, and there seemed to be a fire at the bottom of the cliff, but this fire was as dazzling as the sun, and the feeling of red heat also came from there.

Jiang Xu deeply felt that this fire was unusual, this cave was secretive, and he had to find out if there were living creatures in this cave and whether there was a mechanism to leave this place.

Jiang Xu turned his head and walked around the cave, and walked for nearly half an hour before he came to the end, the firelight became weaker and weaker, there were corpses everywhere, and there were thousands of just to see, Jiang Xu thought to himself how many years this place had existed.

Just when Jiang Xu was also a little deflated, he finally saw a passage that seemed to exist, this passage was crooked and sloping, as if it led to the bottom of the cave. No matter what lies ahead, Jiang Xu has no other way but to go down.

As I walked, murals appeared on the four walls of the passage, and this place was actually a place of man-made creation!

Jiang Xu looked at it, the mural was impressively depicting the war between the demons, and all the way, the struggle between the demons was also escalating, and a wide range of casualties began to appear, until Jiang Xu saw one of the "four fierce beasts" five thousand years ago - Chaos. In the mural in the back, the Terrans began to be slaughtered, and then the picture changed, and the Yellow Emperor led the Xuanyuan tribe to join the battlefield and turn the tide of the war.

Jiang Xu originally thought that the human world and the human race would gradually grasp the situation as Jiang Xu understood, but from the mural, Jiang Xu saw that the strength of many ordinary demon beasts seemed to have increased, and from the drawing of the mural, the faces of these demon beasts were extremely distorted...... The subsequent mural began to blur, Jiang Xu walked down anxiously, and in the end, there was only one picture, and one of the supreme beings of the original demon clan turned his head and killed each other.

Jiang Xu took a breath, it seemed that a lot of things had happened in the battle between demons five thousand years ago. He stared intently at the only string of words on the wall and wrote: This tomb has a total of eighteen floors, built to preserve the fire of the Demon Beast Supreme Bi Fang - false fire, those who are destined to get it, and those who get it must obey the will of the Demon Beast Supreme Bi Fang, if they encounter it in this life, they will fight to the death.

Jiang Xu couldn't understand what was carved in those vague murals, why did Bi Fang help the human race, and who was it?

It seems that there must be a lot of secrets in the Three Realms that ordinary people can't know, or maybe only a few people know the truth. These are too far away from Jiang Xu, and he doesn't know if he can get out of here alive, and he doesn't even know how to get out of here, but from the words engraved, there must be a way out.

The great demon Bi Fang seems to be dead, and the fire at the bottom of the cave he saw just now must be its essence of the fire, can this thing be used? This tomb is probably secretly built by the Yellow Emperor 5,000 years ago, and for some reason it has not been made public. It's just that I don't know if there has been any change in the tomb after all these years, and the mechanism always seems to be opened artificially, so what is the whimper that attracts me?

Now I am afraid that the place where I am standing is the first layer of the tomb, and what will appear on the lower floors? The tunnel in front of me should lead to the next layer, and I have to go down.

——

When Yue Yao woke up, it was the next morning, she actually fell asleep last night while sitting, she took off Jiang Xu's coat draped on her shoulders, looked around, but did not find Jiang Xu's figure. The wood in the fire has long been burned out, it seems that Jiang Xu may have left a long time ago, Yue Yao turned around and found that there seemed to be a signal left by Jiang Xu ahead.

Yue Yao followed its signal forward a hundred meters, and found that the signal suddenly stopped here, and there was no trace of a fight here, she suddenly felt anxious, and kicked at the surrounding trees and the ground under her feet, still not seeing anything special.

At this moment, the young man from the underworld with dragon scales on his back actually appeared in front of Yue Yao, and behind him was a pair of brothers wearing robes and hats with a big knife hanging on their backs.

Yue Yao felt a little familiar when he saw this person, and after looking at the dragon scales on his back, he suddenly said, "It's you, why did you come to the human world, and how did you appear here?"

The young man's name is Candle Ming, after he heard the news of Yue Yao, he hurried while asking people to find out her exact location, and today he finally saw her, and he asked him this kind of question directly. In the past, he was extremely domineering in the face of others, but at the moment he just said casually: "Just turn around, I happened to meet you." ”

Yue Yao didn't bother to ask him, just squatted on the ground, sullenly looking at the ground under his feet and didn't speak.

The strange eyes of the candle stared at Yue Yao for a while before he realized that it was not a problem to stand like this, and he paused and asked, "What have you been squatting here for?"

Yue Yao poked the soil under his feet with a tree branch and replied, "A friend of mine disappeared here yesterday. ”

I saw Candle Ming step on his feet hard and shouted, "Give me all out." The entire land shook with it, and the first- and second-order demon beasts within a radius of one mile then all gathered around and crawled on the ground.

"Tell me what's going on here for the past two days!"

The surrounding monsters hissed.

This person can actually talk to the demon beast directly! Normally, demon beasts above the ninth order can speak human words, and people who can understand the words of low-level demon beasts are extremely rare, and those who can command low-level demon beasts are even more unheard of!

Candle Ming said to Yue Yao: "Someone fell into the cave below from here last night, and I am afraid that there is a mechanism here. ”

Yue Yao asked anxiously, "Then how can I go down?"

Candle Ying frowned, lost in thought.
