In the dark and deep cave, time has no meaning, Zhou Kui fell into the cave for only an hour, but he felt that several years had passed.

The deeper he went, the more filthy the air became, and Zhou Kui had no choice but to put the sword back into its scabbard and cover his nose with one free hand.

"The visibility here is so bad that the light can't penetrate the dust suspended in mid-air." Zhou Kui opened his mouth slightly and said in a low voice.

The white rat spirit hid in Zhou Kui's arms and reminded him: "Try not to speak, so as not to inhale toxic substances." ”

Zhou Kui nodded, closed his mouth, and cautiously continued to walk forward.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Walking to a relatively open area, Zhou Kui suddenly heard a resentful cry nearby, which sounded extremely sad and poignant, which made people break their hearts.

Zhou Kui subconsciously thought that there was something dirty in this place!

He opened the yellow cloth bag, took out an exorcism talisman from it, pinched the trick and recited the spell, and the yellow talisman burned in response, but the strange cry did not disappear, but became more miserable.

The current situation made Zhou Kui feel fear from the bottom of his heart, he would not open his yin and yang eyes, and he could not see the existence of evil, in the face of this unknown fear and threat, Zhou Kui fell into a confused state of confusion for a while.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!"

Zhou Kui couldn't help but swallow his saliva, plucked up the courage to ask, "You, you, are you a human or a ghost?" ”

At this moment, a wisp of ethereal soul slowly appeared in front of Zhou Kui, Zhou Kui was startled, and secretly said in his heart: "It turned out to be a female ghost!" ”

"Hello Dao Chief, my name is Lan Fang. A month ago, my friends and I came to Broken Dragon Village to explore, and accidentally got into this cave, but I didn't expect the road conditions in the cave to be extremely complicated, and after my friends and I were separated, I didn't dare to go to the exit alone, so I waited here for a few days, and no one came to save me. Until the seventh day of my trapped cave, I suddenly heard dense footsteps from the depths of the cave, at first I thought it was the villagers who came down to the cave to look for us, but when I saw the face of the comer, I was so frightened that I fainted on the spot, and when I woke up again, I found that I was dead. ”

Zhou Kui looked at the white face of the female ghost, and asked in a somewhat jealous tone: "So, you were scared to death?" ”

The female ghost shook her head, she pointed to a skeleton leaning against the rock wall on the right, and said in a mournful voice: "I did faint from excessive fear, but I was not scared to death, because I woke up and found that my soul had left my body. ”

Zhou Kui followed the direction of the female ghost's finger and walked over slowly, he raised his mobile phone and aimed the light column of the flashlight at the skeleton.

"There is a deep hole in the back of the head, which is very similar to the cause of Li Si's death!" Zhou Kui couldn't help but exclaim.

The female ghost floated to Zhou Kui's side and said in an ethereal tone: "Dao Chief, the murderer who attacked and killed me is a monster with a human face, an octopus head, and countless tentacles all over his body. ”

"Humanoid octopus monster!"

After listening to the female ghost's description, Zhou Kui immediately remembered the monster he encountered in the cave of Meridian Valley last time.

"Master is right, there is indeed more than one octopus monster, and Broken Dragon Village should be its base camp!"

Perhaps it was already close to the truth, and Zhou Kui's heart felt inexplicably excited.

"Lan Fang, don't worry, Senior Brother and I will definitely get rid of that monster and avenge you!" Zhou Kui patted his chest and said in a firm tone.

The female ghost named Lan Fang said to Zhou Kui very gratefully: "Thank you, Daoist! I still have one more thing, I wonder if the chief can agree? ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Lan Fang paused for a few seconds, a sad look appeared on her bleak pale face, and she choked up and said, "Please take my soul outside and send me to report to the underworld." If the Taoist chief has time, please ask the Taoist chief to go to Room 901, Building 1, Ping'an Community, Zhengyi Road, Guandu District, Guandu District, early in the morning, and inform my parents that I have been reincarnated, so that they don't need to worry about it. ”

Lan Fang couldn't hold back her grief, and sobbed quietly, her whimpering cries echoed in the dark and deep cave, and Zhou Kui broke out in a cold sweat when she heard it.

"This eldest sister is also a poor person!" Zhou Kui couldn't help but sigh.

Accompanied by the female ghost Lan Fang, Zhou Kui continued to move towards the depths of the cave, and after walking for about half an hour, the road ahead suddenly became wider, and what caught Zhou Kui's eyes was a very large stone room.

Zhou Kui raised his mobile phone and walked into the stone room, looking around, there were craggy strange rocks all around, and occasionally water droplets fell on the stones with a crisp snapping sound.

"Lan Fang, do you know what this place is?"

The female ghost floating beside Zhou Kui shook her head and said with a confused expression: "I haven't been here, so I don't know the situation in this stone room." ”

Zhou Kui raised his head and looked up, but he couldn't see the dome of the stone chamber at a glance, it seemed that this large-scale stone chamber was built very deep from the ground.

"Look, Dao Chief, there are a lot of skeletons here!"

Zhou Kui heard Lan Fang's exclamation, and looked in the direction of her finger, there were thirteen thick stone pillars lined up in the northeast of the stone room, and on those stone pillars carved from granite, there were corpses that had long been turned into white bones, but some of the corpses may have appeared here recently, and the fragments of clothing on the remains were still clearly visible.

Zhou Kui was bold, walked into the stone pillar to take a closer look, and after a while, he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's a fragment of a police uniform!" ”

The white rat got out of Zhou Kui's robe, climbed onto a stone pillar with quick movements, pricked up his nose, and sniffed one of the bones that was tied to the pillar by iron chains.

"Can't be wrong, the corpses we see now tied to the stone pillars are the policemen who went to Broken Dragon Village to investigate and unfortunately disappeared mysteriously."

Zhou Kui said approvingly: "Lao Bai, I want to go with you." It's just that I don't understand, how can their corpses appear in such a place? ”

Just when Zhou Kui was puzzled, Lan Fang suddenly prompted: "Could it be that the octopus monster that attacked me did it?" ”

"Octopus monsters? That's right, the murderer behind it must be it! ”

Combined with various clues, Zhou Kui believes that the octopus monster is a very bloodthirsty and cruel monster.

The white rat spirit circled around the thirteen stone pillars, and after a few minutes, he ran back and said to Zhou Kui, "All the corpses have been tied to the stone pillars in a very cruel way, and all of them have been turned into white bones. ”

"It's as if they've almost been drained of their flesh......"

A bold conjecture arose in Zhou Kui's mind: Could it be that the octopus monster lives by sucking the flesh and blood of people?

If this is the case, it can explain that the corpses seen along the way are all in a state of white bones, and there is no flesh and skin tissue in sight.

"Brother Zhou, it seems that the octopus monster is very dangerous, it can easily suck human flesh and blood essence, be sure to be vigilant!"

Listening to the words of the white rat spirit, Zhou Kui couldn't help but feel a chill rise behind him, as if in the dark corner of the stone room, there was an octopus monster hiding in the eye.

Zhou Kui didn't dare to stay too long next to the stone pillar, he called Lan Fang to continue walking.

"The yin qi in this stone chamber is too heavy to stay for a long time, let's get out of here as soon as possible!"

In the next few hours, Zhou Kui has been circling in the stone room, never able to move forward half a step, even Lan Fang was trapped in it and couldn't get out, and the white rat wittily saw through the predicament in front of him: "The yin qi inside the stone room is too heavy, so that a special enchantment has been formed, in the folk vernacular, it is 'ghost hitting the wall'!" ”

As a half-hung man born in the yin and yang industry, Zhou Kui naturally knew what "ghosts hit the wall" meant, but when he carefully studied the reasons for the formation of "ghosts hitting the wall", an inexplicable sense of fear hit his heart like a tide.

"Dao Chief, the 'ghost hitting the wall' appears in this kind of place, either because the deceased is too resentful, or there is some supernatural force at work."

Lan Fang's words made Zhou Kui have an ominous premonition: if it was really a supernatural force that created the "ghost hitting the wall", it also meant that there was some kind of terrible monster in this stone room, even if it was not a monster, it could be that some evil warlock with advanced cultivation had arranged a formation here.

"Strange, as if something slimy was dripping on my face."

Zhou Kui reached out and touched his cheek, and found that his fingers were dyed black by some strange liquid, he raised his head and looked up, through the light shot by the mobile phone, Zhou Kui saw that the top of his head was covered with countless black tentacles, each tentacle was arranged with circular suction cups in an extremely regular manner.

"Oh no, it's an octopus!"

The white rat spirit exclaimed in surprise and ran towards Zhou Kui quickly.

said that it was too late, and at the critical moment when a tentacle was about to catch Zhou Kui, Lan Fang quickly lifted Zhou Kui's collar and gently threw him out.

Zhou Kui rolled in the air, and fell to the ground without danger, he saw the tentacle just now pounce on the air from a distance, and said with palpitations: "If Lan Fang hadn't made a timely move, I would have died just now!" ”
