took out a light kettle, Li Linglan took a sip of water, and then turned her head to look at the few people resting under the sand slope. The younger brother Li Zizheng was bored with the four special forces carrying beacons, of course, talking about some big things that didn't make sense.

Looking at the vast desert in the distance, Li Linglan sighed and whistled in a low voice. "Whoosh"! A white, furry shadow jumped onto her lap as if out of thin air.

This is a very cute forest marten, the whole body is snow-white without a trace of variegation, the pink little nose and short limbs make it extremely cute! The fly in the ointment is that the eyes of this mink are actually deep dark red, which gives people a little weird feeling.

Lily of the valley took out a small piece of jerky, thought about it and poured some water from the kettle in the palm of her hand, the sable sniffed the jerky, but flicked the pink little nose with her little claws, and snorted twice as if she was dissatisfied! Then he just held Lily of the Valley's hand and drank all the water. In the end, she naughtily stretched out her pink little tongue and licked all the water stains in Lily of the Valley's palm, and the itchy Li Linglan couldn't help but giggle!

Li Zi, who was blowing the conch under the sand slope, heard her sister's laughter and quickly got up and shouted, "Sister! What do you think? You're all rested, can you go? I've already found four sandworm nests, didn't the section chief say that there won't be more than five? We 、、、、、、"

Li Linglan's angry willow eyebrows rose upside down, and as soon as she turned her hand, the white sable fell on her shoulder! Then he suddenly stood up, and the whole person slid down to the bottom of the sand slope like a fish.

The young man Li Zi suddenly jumped up as if he had a premonition and burned his buttocks, turned around and ran back, only to see a white shadow suddenly fly out and flash between his legs vaguely! I saw the plum snort, mixing garlic with both legs, a dog grabbing feces and falling on the sand.

Li Zi got up and was about to run again, when he saw that Li Linglan had already run over quickly, and trampled him to the ground like stepping on a toad: "You little bastard!" What are you yelling about? I'm afraid I won't be able to attract sandworms, right? ”

As soon as Li Zi tried to struggle, he heard a small chirp, and the white sable stood on the back of his head. He was also naughty and stood on only two hind legs, just like when his sister taught him!

"Don't dare, sister! I don't dare, can't I listen to you? Take your feet away, and you're a dead man!" How can you let me raise my head in front of these brothers in the future? I beg you, sister、、、、、、"

Li Linglan kicked Li Zi's ass twice with hatred, and the funny white sable actually jumped twice on Li Zi's head in the same way! Then with a whoosh, he jumped back onto Li Linglan's shoulder.

Li Zi grinned and rubbed his ass and climbed up, as if he was still a little unconvinced! Li Linglan sighed, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "When will you grow up?" What is this place? Ghost Desert! How many powerful figures have fallen in this desert for thousands of years? It's okay if you're not afraid of death, but it's our duty to protect these four special forces and demarcate the nests found! Don't you know how dangerous it is for these brothers to act with us cultivators? Why are you kidding with their lives? ”

Hearing this, Li Zi put his hands in his pockets in frustration, and whispered with a sad face: "Sister、、、 I know it's wrong!" Don't worry! I'll be extra careful in the future, definitely! I promise、、、、、、"

"Alas、、、" Li Linglan turned around and walked away helplessly with a sad face, and the sable on her shoulder actually turned around and shook her head at Li Zi to laugh at him!

Li Linglan returned to the bottom of the sand slope and sat down, at this time, the leaders of the four special forces who were resting and watching the excitement came over and asked in a low voice: "Team Li and Beacon There are still three groups left, Li Zi said that after finishing the work, we will go to the Heavenly Ghost Cave to observe the situation、、、、、、

Li Linglan shook her head: "No, it's too weird there, and it's extremely dangerous!" You may not be able to help when you go, so the four of you will find a hidden spot to hide after searching the hive, and then wait for the targeted strike to pass and evaluate the damage effect. The five of us will go to the Celestial Ghost Cave on a mission, and then come back to pick you up. The only task you have to do after you install the beacon is to protect yourself and not to take the lead no matter who you encounter! Do you understand? ”

The group leader was slightly disappointed, but still nodded seriously: "Yes!" Team Li, we must complete the task and protect ourselves! ”

Li Linglan thought for a while: "Don't be lost, the matter here cannot be explained and solved by science!" It's not once or twice that you follow the nine branches to carry out tasks, you should know that professional things have to be solved by professional people! In the future、、、、、、 after we leave Jiuke, you may need to be stationed here all year round to monitor whether there will be mutant insects that have escaped from the net, and your future task will be very heavy! ”

"Hmm!" The group leader nodded vigorously.

Li Linglan's eyes flashed with a trace of undetectable sadness、、、 these ordinary people, the Jiuke will inevitably rely on these hard-trained soldiers to carry out tasks, but sometimes they are not suitable to return to society when they have been exposed to too many horrors and secrets、、、、、、 Lily of the Valley has been in the Jiuke for less than three years, but she has seen several groups of ordinary soldiers being euphemistically isolated in the deserted no man's land.

Time, these ordinary people who have seen too many incredible things need time, even medicine or the means of cultivators, to forget those memories that should not be there! These are the loveliest people、、、 they are doing their best to help themselves, these cultivators, in the dark, to maintain the peace of society! Even if they are sacrificed, they are simply dealt with, and some even end the case as missing, which is unfair to them! But it's helpless、、、、、、

These four servicemen have been following the Ninth Section for half a year and have carried out three missions. Twice to capture a group of evil cannibal cultivators, and once to deal with the corpse of a beast to hurt people, the four of them can be regarded as doing their best in their lives! The section chief said that their spirits can no longer withstand such stimulation, and after this mission, they will be arranged to be stationed at the edge of this desert for a long time. Then slowly use time and medicine to make them forget the horrors and weirdness they have experienced during this time、、、、、、

Wang Yunsheng, the section chief of the Ninth Branch, was leaning against the depths of a dry cave, panting slightly, his legs splashed with yellow-green juice.

Opposite Wang Yunsheng was Li Yilin, who was also in a messy shape, and was cleaning up the dirt on his face with a tissue. Li Yilin asked softly: "Section chief!" Is this the last hive? ”

Wang Yunsheng shook his head: "No, exterminating insects is only our superficial task, our people have sneaked here and measured with spiritual power, the deepest insect nest is already a hundred meters below the ground, and it is impossible to clean it up without alarming the Heavenly Ghost Cave." ”

Li Yilin stopped wiping his hand in confusion and wondered: "There is still a hidden task?" Can you tell me? ”

Wang Yunsheng nodded: "Of course you can, I have the authority to inform the deputy captain of the task, and then only the two of us can understand." I can't spread out、、、、、、"

Li Yilin nodded.

Wang Yunsheng looked at the small soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave in the distance, and said to Li Yilin in a low voice: "The number of insects can only be controlled, not eliminated, because insects coexist with the Heavenly Ghost Cave. Unless the Heavenly Ghost Cave is erased, otherwise the insects will appear in an endless stream, but the insects have never left the range of a hundred miles around the Heavenly Ghost Cave! Now that the Ghost Cave Clan is about to become extinct、、、 I am not sure if these bugs will break this law without the control of the Ghost Cave Clan! ”

Li Yilin frowned: "Since you know that the Heavenly Ghost Cave is the root of the insect, why don't you just destroy the Heavenly Ghost Cave?" ”

A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Wang Yunsheng's eyes、、、 thought about it, and said softly: "Don't think too much, there are some things that you can't think about too much." We have been exploring and guessing the secrets inside the Heavenly Ghost Cave for thousands of years! Whether it is an alien civilization or an ancient civilization, its terrifying mystery and temptation are very attractive! All the national forces are taking measures to hide and protect this mysterious place in their own territory、、、、、、 after all, if we can't crack it now, it doesn't mean that our future generations can't use it, after all, one day these secret places will be used by us! ”

Li Yilin nodded knowingly、、、、、、

Wang Yunsheng continued: "The control of the number of sandworms is one, and there is also the capture of the second elder and the second son of the An family, we need the life of the second son of the An family to negotiate a deal with the An family. We need the results of that century-old laboratory under their control! Of course, we will also give them other benefits to settle down, but they are too proud and have always refused to cooperate with our investigation department, and this time they crossed the line again, just to dispose of all their manpower except for the second son to shock them! That Second Elder 、、、、、、 meant to be killed on the spot! ”

"The five of us shouldn't be able to take on such a big task! Who else will support us? ”

Wang Yunsheng nodded: "Yes!" Now there are our undercover agents among the people who enter the Heavenly Ghost Cave, and they will take action at the critical moment. In addition, the fox immortal family of the Five Immortal Sect will help us unexpectedly、、、、、、 the most important thing is the Eight Branches, they will directly attack the Heavenly Ghost Cave in the other direction. ”

"Eight Branches、、、、、、" Li Yilin frowned: "The things that the Eight Branches do are all top secrets, and even we have no way of knowing, are you sure that there are Eight Branches to support our safety?" What will be their ultimate task? I suspect that our actions may be to cover for them、、、、、、 could they be trying to be yellow sparrows? Is the contents of the Heavenly Ghost Cave their target? ”

Wang Yunsheng's expression darkened: "Don't guess if you're already here, at least the combat effectiveness of those people in the Eight Branches is stronger than ours, we are the Special Investigation Department!" Not an ordinary cultivator, completing the task is the first priority! ”

Li Yilin nodded: "You can only take one step at a time, don't worry!" I'll keep an eye out for them. ”

Shen Yuan was following behind the two camouflage uniforms at this time, and had been entering the Heavenly Ghost Cave for a while, just after everyone came in, the two strange stone carved beast heads on both sides of the doorpost at the entrance of the cave that was not too high suddenly spit out fine yellow sand!

An Jia Ershao stood in the middle of the team and asked the guide beside him, "What do you mean?" Didn't you say you couldn't keep people outside the cave? How can this sand still bury the back road? Are you trying to bring us to your funeral? ”

The guide smiled faintly: "What? Scared? ”

An Jia's second young man pouted: "Hmph! Can this broken door bury me? ”

The guide waved his hand: "It seems that you have already learned a lot of secrets of the Heavenly Ghost Cave from Durkie, so what do you have to say, just go in." ”

The second young man of the An family was not in a hurry, and asked loudly: "The so-called Heavenly Ghost Cave sacrifice is a gimmick used by your Ghost Cave Clan to blackmail the world!" Have you made countless treasures over the past thousand years, and all these things have been hidden in the Heavenly Ghost Cave? And those so-called sacrificial girls、、、、、、 have they all been used by you to reproduce the clansmen? ”

Shen Yuan and Ava were shocked when they heard this! What the? The process of sacrificing to the Heavenly Ghost Cave in order to enter the Heavenly Ghost Cave in search of immortality or power turned out to be a trap set by the Ghost Cave Clan! My God、、、、、、 these people of the Ghost Cave Clan are too lacking in virtue, right?

The guide showed a smiling face, and the weird smile seemed to have a hint of schadenfreude, and he laughed twice at first. Then he said: "Sacrificing precious utensils, livestock, and maidens is indeed a rule set by our ancestors of the Ghost Cave Clan for you outsiders!" You still have to pay an entrance fee to enter the museum, don't you? Don't we need to live? The Ghost Cave Clan is cursed to leave this desert, and how can we survive if we don't exchange these sacrifices for supplies? If we hadn't had a steady stream of girls sent in, wouldn't we have been wiped out long ago because of inbreeding? ”

"Tall! Justified 、、、 is really high! The old man of Oxtail, who was hiding behind, gave a thumbs up when he heard this, and praised him sincerely.

Shen Yuan thought for a while and couldn't help but ask loudly: "It is said that the Great Black Temple has sent in several girls for sacrifice over the years, where are those girls now?" ”

The guide smiled and said, "Those guys in the Great Black Temple are all beasts, and the girls sent by them have been turned into puppets like the walking dead by the people they tortured!" I, Angut, am not a normal human anymore, but I am not going to make fun of playing with these puppets and walking dead!

Here! Over there、、、、、、 there is where I bury these poor girls! As he spoke, the guide pointed to a corner of the inner side of the dark cavern.

A few wolf-eye tactical flashlights quickly swept towards the corner where the guide was pointing, only to see a pit under the cave wall, in which four small graves were piled with gravel and yellow sand. Shen Yuan suddenly realized, it seems that the female disciple of the Five Immortals Sect who was sacrificed by the Great Black Temple should have been buried here by the guide.

The guide asked An Jia Ershao, "How is it?" Keep going inside? ”

The second young man of the An family replied: "Of course! Are you sure your sandworms can help us guard the stone gate outside? ”

The guide smiled: "These sandworms have been guarding this desert for thousands of years!" If it weren't for the fact that Durkie, a traitor, had revealed the secret of the oni grass soup and the characteristics of the sandworm to you, you thought you would have been able to stand here so easily? ”

An Jia's second young man smiled: "Sometimes luck is strength, luck plus no last resort and force is invincible!" ”

The guide smiled and was silent, and Lao Dao stood behind Shen Yuan and said softly: "Gua Wazi、、、 there is no invincible in the world!" ”

An Jia Er Shao seems to have remembered the arrangement before entering the cave! Say loudly: "Ava! And Lao Dao, plus the Shen family, you and the four of me will go to the front together! Be responsible for pathfinding、、、、、、 don't play tricks! If you make me really angry, I'll blow up this tunnel and let you bury the unjustly killed chicks in the Heavenly Demon Cave! Your outside forces and family members won't have a way to live, understand? ”

Shen Yuan heard that his teeth and flowers were numb for a while, and he came out of the Dianjiangtai of the Great Black Temple, and now Shen Yuan was upset when he saw this black and dark hole!

The second young man of the An family returned some of his weapons to Shen Yuan's people, Ava's dagger, Shen Yuan's tight rinthium knife wrapped in cloth tape, and the saber of the knife boy. Naturally, the hot weapon will not be given to them, but it is still carried on the back by the four men in black, and it seems that if they encounter a danger that the four of them can't solve, they may return a few to Shen Yuan!

An Jia Er Shao still didn't seem to trust the guide and arranged him by his side, and there was no sandworm to follow. The guide told An Jia Er Shao early that he didn't know anything about the depths of the Heavenly Ghost Cave, and he only knew that after I didn't know how many years ago, the magic circle laid by the mysterious man couldn't turn back! None of these guides have ever entered, and the so-called guides are better said to be the gatekeepers of the Heavenly Ghost Cave!

Shen Yuan thinks it's quite appropriate, pretending to be a ghost to watch the door, plus he is the one who picks the lock. Oh! By the way、、、 there is also Lao Dao, who is a layman who lets go of the wind, and the rest of the two young and two elders of the An family are all thieves! Hahaha、、、、、、 it's just, the owner of the stolen family, is there really no one?

Shen Yuan's eight people turned on their flashlights and slowly walked into the silent tunnel in front of them, and the rest of them repaired in place and followed their traces after ten minutes.

Ava was at the forefront, even though he said he had never been here. But Shen Yuan and Oxtail Lao Dao didn't believe his words, the second elder was an old fritter in this area! As her henchman、、、 even though Ava claimed to have been hired by the Second Elder, he might have been haunted here! Even if he and the second elder had any conspiracies in this cave, Shen Yuan didn't think it was unusual、、、

There was no light in the dry and silent stone cave, only the footsteps of a few people buzzed between the cave walls. Suddenly, Shen Yuan's flashlight shone on Ava, who was walking in the front, and stopped!

Several men in black, who had been silent, looked at each other, and two of them walked quickly to Ava's side, shone all around, and beckoned behind. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly walked over to see what was going on.

"My good boy、、、、、、" Ushio Old Dao's eyes widened as he looked at the scene in front of Ava! I saw more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground of a small cave hall dozens of meters square in the stone cave tunnel! All camouflage uniforms, all blood! Some of the corpses were scratched with skulls and brains splashed, and some were torsos broken and internal organs flowed out! Some of them were crushed and pulled out of their throats、、、、、、 which was simply the execution ground of 、、、、、、 hell!
