XVI. Valley of the Dead
The four of them briefly sorted out their thoughts, and then they all came to the secret passage.
"Repeat again."
Qin Ran held the torch and said, "I'll take the lead, Sister Xiong, the two of you will walk in the middle, there is a situation in front to run to the back, and there is a situation in the back to run to the front, remember?" ”
Wang He raised his right hand and said, "What if there are situations on both sides?" ”
"Then what are you struggling with, wait for death." Qin Ran said.
At this time, Liu Yong was in front of the secret passage, closed his eyes and felt the evil qi, and frowned slightly: "It is indeed an evil qi, and there is a little... Mushy? ”
"Uh-oh." Qin Ran said embarrassedly, "The oil on the torch accidentally dripped onto your arm. ”
“...”
Liu Yonggang wanted to have a seizure, but Qin Ran waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, now follow the formation, let's go in and see the situation." ”
Isn't that what you're messing with? Liu Yong couldn't say anything about the bitterness in his heart, but he didn't say it again. After all, the top priority is to get out of here as soon as possible.
The four of them were mentally prepared and walked towards the secret passage one by one according to the plan, with Qin Ran taking the lead, holding a torch and walking in the front, followed by Liu Yong, who said that he wanted to protect his junior brother and walking in the second place, and then Wang He and Sister Xiong.
"Keep an eye on the neighborhood, don't get attacked by some, and as far as I know, the more evil there are, the more local authorities." Liu Yong chattered and explained to Qin Ran.
Qin Ran nodded, and walked slowly to the front, without saying a word, looking a little nervous.
The secret passage is very long, and it is extremely irregular, some are tall, some are short, some are wide and some are narrow, and it is extremely difficult to move all the way, but fortunately, the four people are all ordinary, and there is nothing that cannot be passed.
After walking forward for about half an hour, the secret passage still did not come to an end, and several people couldn't help but feel a little anxious in their hearts.
"How do I feel like this road has no head? Why don't you withdraw? Wang He said as he leaned forward.
They were now on a relatively short stretch of the road, unable to straighten their backs, so they could only move forward half-bent.
Liu Yong shook his head, almost hit a sharp stone, and said with palpitations: "I've been gone for a long time, wouldn't it be in vain to withdraw now?" Try it first and then take a look. ”
said so, but he couldn't help but be a little flustered in his heart, what if this place really couldn't go to the end, then what should he do?
At this time, Qin Ran suddenly stopped, causing everyone behind him to stop and look at his back for some reason.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yong asked a little nervously, "Is there anything ahead?" ”
"Nope."
Qin Ran's voice was a little low, and he said, "I always feel that something is wrong... No matter how we go, it seems that the route is going down? Is this secret passage leading below? ”
According to the memory route in his mind, whether it is a left or right turn, the route is always inclined downward, that is, how many people have been walking towards the bottom of the barren mountain now?
This news is not good, if the secret passage is a straight road, maybe a few people can walk through the barren mountain, and only when they reach the other side can they hope to leave, but now the result is to go down, so who knows how deep? Isn't it all over to go underground?
"Ah, why can't I get there? Why don't you go back? Wang He was already panicking.
Sister Xiong, who has always been taciturn, suddenly opened her mouth at this time and said: "Keep walking, the old lady feels it, there is a strange throwing tile calling me, the more I walk, the more I can feel it, and it is estimated that there is still a little way to the end." ”
Qin Ran and Liu Yong glanced back at her at the same time.
If there is really a strange force calling for her as Sister Xiong said, then the source of restraining her should be in this secret passage, and it is very likely that it is the demon himself who everyone speculates.
After all, Sister Xiong is indeed the gatekeeper of the demon.
In this way, Sister Xiong has become an unstable factor, who knows if she will burst out for a while and join the enemy and demons? And she was originally a wild bear spirit, and her identity background was not very good.
Liu Yong glanced at Qin Ran, and Qin Ran nodded.
"Ugh."
He took out the marrow cleansing pill from his pocket and threw it directly into his mouth.
"What are you eating?" Sister Xiong suddenly became interested.
Liu Yong did not answer, but silently changed positions with Wang He and went to the front of Sister Xiong by himself.
Wang He also saw the strangeness of the atmosphere, and instantly understood the meaning of what the senior brother did, and did not say much, but nodded gratefully at Liu Yong.
Sister Xiong is a third-level Qi cultivator, and no one can restrain her here except Qin Ran.
And now that she has a hint of the possibility of rebellion, she has to find someone to buffer it, and this task can only be handed over to Liu Yong, who has the myelin cleansing pill.
After taking the Myelin Cleansing Pill, Liu Yong broke through to the fourth layer of Qi cultivation in one fell swoop, even if Sister Xiong made a violent move, he could withstand it and even fight back, which was the best choice at present.
It's just a pity that Liu Yong wanted to save the marrow cleansing pill for the tenth layer of qi cultivation to break through to the foundation building period, but he didn't expect that he could only take it in advance today.
"Let's go, let's see what's at the end of the secret passage."
Qin Ran turned around, held the torch, and led everyone to continue to move forward.
...
...
After a few more hours, the group finally came to the end.
As the secret passage suddenly became wider, there was light in front of them, and all four of them couldn't hold it back, so they rushed forward one after another, and walked out of the secret passage together.
A huge space appeared in front of the eyes of the four people.
"What is this?"
Qin Ran's pupils contracted, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't believe it.
The corpses and white bones of countless people and animals were scattered in the space, making Qin Ran a little disgusted for a while.
Liu Yong's face turned pale, he glanced around, then raised his head and said, "Look." ”
When everyone looked up, they found that there were no stone walls above them, but a lifeless gray mist that shrouded them in the sky, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
"What is this place? Underground? Or are we still in the mountains? Wang He asked in horror.
The corpses and white bones in front of him had too much impact on him, and many of the corpses were fresh, and the smell of blood wafted into his nose, which was inevitably a little unacceptable.
"Fuck, aren't you?"
【Bad Breath +10】
Qin Ran saw a familiar object, and with the stories told by the old people in his memory, he probably knew where this was.
He met everyone's gaze and walked to a place where three or five corpses were piled up.
"Qin Daoyou?! You're going to do it..."Before Liu Yong could finish speaking, he saw Qin Ran squatting down and pulling out a familiar thing from under the corpse.
Although Liu Yong hadn't actually seen it, he knew exactly what it did.
And it's been discussed before.
What Qin Ran was holding in his hand was a square brick, with dense grooves carved on the four walls, and even two or three women's hairs.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be the key to unlock the wall mechanism in the cave." Qin Ran glanced up at the top of his head filled with gray mist, and said, "It's so much fun, I actually walked into the Valley of the Necrons in the barren mountain." ”
