"Click!"

Without any accidents, the [Loulan Secret Cave Stone Key] returned to Zuo Yang's hands.

It's just that this thing seems to have been filled up a little, and it still remains in its activated state, and it has not dimmed back into an ordinary stone.

The earthquake did not recur, and the stele did not change in any way.

Zuo Yang felt that this might be a problem.

Because these steles were lowered, the forest of steles outside may have changed as a result, and if new steles filled their place, they might not be so easy to spot, and if not, their whereabouts might be exposed.

Zuo Yang is more inclined to "fill", because Lei Xingkong said before that these steles will change every time there is an earthquake, but only careful people will find out, which means that the number of steles should not change, that is, they will be replaced automatically, rather than revealing a gap after sinking.

However, the entrance behind him has been closed, which makes Zuo Yang feel a lot more at ease, at least in the process of exploring the "Loulan Secret Cave", there should be no outsiders who can come in and interfere.

So he put the [Loulan Secret Cave Stone Key] back together, and Zuo Yang bypassed this stone tablet and walked towards the circular arch of a black hole directly behind the stone tablet.

"Click!"

As soon as one foot stepped into the door, Zuo Yang heard an extremely neat voice.

The reason why the adjective "neat" is used is because Zuo Yang actually hears a lot of sounds, and the reason why "one" is used as a measure word is because these sounds are made almost at the same time, just like the singing of a choir, even if it is neat, you can hear that this is a chorus, not a solo singing of one person.

This sound instantly raised Zuo Yang's vigilance, and his second foot did not step forward, but stretched the torch forward as far as he could.

Stretching out, Zuo Yang immediately saw two rows of shiny gem-like things.

The two rows of puppets standing on either side of the door were the same as the ones I had seen in the dungeon before, and the puppets here were obviously much better preserved in the dungeon, they were dressed in uniform armor, holding exactly the same spear in their hands, and all the exposed wood materials were smooth and delicate, and the surface seemed to be coated with a layer of glue paint, which reflected the light under the reflection of the firelight...... Compared to these puppets, the puppets that have been seen in the dungeon before are like discarded defects, and the dungeon is a garbage dump of defects.

As for the two rows of shiny jewel-like things, it's the eyes of these puppets!

Yes!

These puppets are all turned sideways with their heads open, showing the state of those "defective products" after activation, and at this moment they are staring at Zuo Yang with these dark and translucent eyes, giving people a chilling feeling.

"I'll go!"

Zuo Yang was naturally taken aback again, and it was conceivable that the extremely neat "click" sound just now should be the sound made by these puppets turning their heads when they looked at him...... No wonder it's so familiar, when I was in the dungeon before, those puppets turned their heads like this.

But this time, Zuo Yang didn't jump out directly in fright, but quickly calmed down.

This is also due to the fact that the puppets in the dungeon before did nothing to him, otherwise if he had been attacked like Boss Tao and others, Zuo Yang's first reaction would have been to escape.

"These puppets aren't going to do anything to me, are they?"

Zuo Yang held a hint of luck and tried to step in the other foot.

This is also something that can't be helped, he knows very well what he is here for, he is here to hunt for treasure, no matter whether there is a sword mountain or a sea of fire ahead, since he finally came in, he has to continue to move forward even if he is stubborn, unless he encounters a dilemma that he is absolutely insurmountable with his current strength.

It was at this time.

"Whew!"

Another neat voice sounded, and a light suddenly lit up behind the puppets, illuminating the originally dark secret realm.

It was a row of oil lamps embedded in the wall, I don't know what principle was used, those oil lamps actually ignited automatically, and seemed to welcome Zuo Yang's arrival in this way.

Zuo Yang was nervous again, but this time he calmed down faster.

Because he finally saw what kind of place he was in...... This is a straight road with a width and height of 5 meters, the road is hard rock up and down, left and right, there is no repair of the joints on it, it seems to be excavated directly, but the surface is unusually smooth, even if the modern advanced cutting technology, it may not be able to do this extent, after all, this road is a big project.

At the end of the corridor is another arch, and the inside of that arch is also pitch black, I don't know if it will light up after you walk in.

At the same time, Zuo Yang finally saw these puppets clearly, counted them a total of 40, and stood on both sides of the corridor in two neat rows facing each other, still staring at him with a sideways face to face at the moment, and his dark and translucent eyes didn't blink, because the structure was different, he shouldn't feel dry.

Seriously, being looked at by them like this, Zuo Yang's heart was still hairy.

There is a modern saying called the "uncanny valley theory", which says that humanoid objects like these puppets, if their simulation is very low, people will not be afraid, because they know that it is fake, but when the simulation degree is high to a certain extent, people are sometimes not sure of the truth or falsehood, and the real person is a fake person, and the fake person is a real person, which will scare people, and at the same time will make people have a sense of potential threat.

There is this reason why Zuo Yang is furious in his heart now, and there is another reason that he knows that these puppets are alive now, but he doesn't know what they will do to him, which is the more terrifying thing.

"Ma Dan, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, fight for it!"

It is naturally impossible to withdraw like this, Zuo Yang simply took a handful, gritted his teeth and took another step forward.

"Wow!"

The puppets moved again, and they jerked their spears up before stabbing diagonally upwards.

In this way, the spears of two rows of puppets crossed each other, forming a passage formed by the staggered spears between them, which was also a welcome ceremony in the Celestial Empire, but it was definitely not a friendly welcome ceremony.

"Would you like to enter the urn?"

Seeing this scene, Zuo Yang settled down and strode inside...... This at least shows that these puppets should not do anything to him now, and as for whether they can come out alive after entering, that is a matter for later.

Anyway, if you don't go in to see what's inside, Zuo Yang will definitely not be reconciled.
