Chapter 071: Caving
Under the guidance of the associated prohibition, a group of fifteen people set off on a flying magic weapon.
The direction has never changed, and it seems that as Lu Qing expected, Li Yuhan and the others were trapped in a fixed location, not in the process of escaping.
And as the point of light on the association prohibition gradually becomes clear, this also means that Lu Qing and others are getting closer and closer to Li Yuhan and others.
The road is not far away, because the whole area of the Dry Bone Forest is so large.
It didn't take too long for Lu Qing and the others to arrive at the place where Li Yuhan and the others were—the ruins of a certain village.
The remains of the village are also an iconic place in the forest of bones.
The strange rumors, and the rumors of hauntings, all stem from the ruins of these dilapidated villages.
"Furubashi Village...... Are they right here? Looking around, Tantai Half Moon muttered to himself.
In the distance, you can see a steep cliff with a rushing river and a decaying wooden bridge that has completely broken on the edge of the cliff.
It seems that the name of this village comes from the abandoned bridge.
It's just that it is estimated that many years ago, this abandoned bridge has not completely collapsed and destroyed.
According to the guidelines of the association prohibition, Li Yuhan and the others should be here, but looking around at the ruins and broken walls, they can see a figure anywhere.
"Li Yuhan! Sun Ji! Are you here? Lu Qing shouted.
He wasn't afraid to startle the snakes, because if those who were hiding in the shadows had a heart, they would have been targeted long ago.
Those who are barefoot and are not afraid to wear shoes have no reason to cower now.
Lu Qing could conclude that although those guys had good strength and strange abilities, they were definitely not strong enough to be able to fight.
Because if that were the case, they would have been in danger a long time ago, so why wait until now?
There was no response from the surroundings, which made Lu Qing very puzzled, obviously the prohibition guidelines were here, but why couldn't he see people?
At this time, it was Wang Tieba's wonderful idea that gave Lu Qing guidance.
"Uncle Lu, do you think they will be there?" Wang Tiezhu pointed to an ancient well in the ruins of the village and said.
"Hey, you have a point!" Lu Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately led the others to the ancient well to take a closer look.
The light in the well was extremely dim, but everyone who was a cultivator could see that there was definitely a hole under this ancient well!
"Shall you go down and have a look?" Tantai Banyue said in a hurry.
After all, he was the one who caused Li Yuhan and the others to be in danger, so he couldn't wait to rescue them now.
"Wait a minute......" Lu Qing waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet first, and then began to listen carefully to the BGM sound in his ears.
In the ear, it is a pure music that Lu Qing is very familiar with, and it sounds like a pipa.
The rhythm alternates in an orderly manner, first bright and then gentle, and then abruptly shifts to a sharp one, and so on......
"This is Ambush on All Sides?" Squinting his eyes, Lu Qing already understood what this BGM represented at this moment, it seems that something must happen in the depths of this ancient well.
"Use Li Yuhan and them as bait to set up an ambush? No...... It doesn't seem to make sense, it seems to be far more complicated than I thought. Sighing secretly, Lu Qing knew that it was pointless to continue thinking.
After all, we have already arrived here, and there is no way back even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead.
"It's very dangerous here, everyone must be vigilant!" raised his head and reminded everyone, this is the only thing Lu Qing can do now.
To be on the safe side, Lu Qing left two fellow men on the well to guard the entrance of the cave, while the others began to go down the well in order.
As Lu Qing and others expected, the seemingly ordinary interior of the ancient well is unique.
Passing through the narrow wall of the well, the further down the group became, the larger the space became, and finally it even completely extended to the scale of an underground cave.
The most surprising thing is that there is no underground river under this well, and there is a larger vertical hole in the huge cavern.
Everything is extremely confusing, is this place man-made or naturally generated? Why are Li Yuhan and others in such a place? And what are the identities of those guys who are hiding in the shadows? What is the purpose?
There are so many questions that can't be answered, which puts a cloud over everyone's minds.
Looking down at the huge hole with a radius of several zhang wide, Lu Qing saw several thick chains connected at the edge of the hole.
Obviously, all this is artificially made.
Because the environment here is too dark, many people naturally take out the lighting objects or show the lighting method.
The light illuminated the wide cave, surrounded by solid rock walls, so it could be inferred that since Li Yuhan and the others were here, they must continue to descend.
Picking up a stone from the side, Lu Qing threw it into the bottomless hole in front of him.
No sound came, the stone seemed to sink into the sea, and the hole full of unknowns seemed to be a bottomless pit.
After closing his eyes and struggling for two seconds, Lu Qing chose the two of them to stay here again, and then led the others to climb the chain.
There is no turning back from the bow, they must continue to go deeper.
"Uncle Lu, why do you think they went to such a ghost place?" Wang Tieba said in confusion.
"There are many possibilities, the first is that they were chased and killed in a panic, the second is that they were deliberately forced here by the enemy, and the third is that they encountered ......an accident while exploring this place," Lu Qing said as he climbed down.
"It sounds like the second possibility is big, but it doesn't explain what the purpose of those 'ghosts' is." Wan Dafu nodded.
"If it's a mule or a horse, you'll know if it's a horse." Lu Qing chuckled.
"Anyway, let's be careful, I think it's ......" Gu Dadiao also wanted to talk.
"Shut up!" Lu Qing interrupted him for the first time, for fear that this thing would set up another death flag.
Gu Dadiao glanced at Lu Qing with some dissatisfaction, but he still closed his mouth aggrievedly.
Everyone chatted with each other, and before they knew it, they had climbed down for hundreds of meters, but the chain seemed to have no end, and they didn't know where it could extend.
And at this time, with the limited light, Lu Qing and the others finally saw a strange figure hanging on the chain below!
Looking closely, everyone was cold, this figure was wearing the clothes of a disciple of the Tianqu Sect, and it looked like he was already dead.
Everyone immediately stopped, looking at each other and not knowing what to do for a moment.
"You guys wait here, I'll go and see!" Taking a deep breath, after confirming that the BGM was fine, Lu Qing jumped onto the chain where the corpse was, and then climbed down alone......
