Chu Tianyi came back to his senses and turned his head suspiciously, but as soon as his gaze returned to the front, he immediately found in horror that the ground that was originally in the flashlight aperture in front of him suddenly disappeared. He shouted "not good" in his heart and hurriedly stopped his steps, but inertia still pushed him forward and rushed out a few meters.

By the time Chu Tianyi stopped, he was already less than half a meter away from the abyss. The gravel kicked by his feet flew off the edge of the cliff and fell straight down. He raised his flashlight and shone it down, his eyes filled with endless darkness, and he couldn't imagine its depth.

Chu Tianyi touched his forehead, and before he knew it, it was already oozing with beads of sweat the size of beans. He let out a long breath and steadied himself. He couldn't help but wonder where those people had just gone, and he immediately looked around.

Sure enough, forty or fifty meters away to his right, Chu Tianyi saw three shaking flashlights. He turned and chased in the direction of the flashlight's light.

This time he made his way along the edge of the abyss, keeping an eye on the ground beneath his feet. However, just as he was about to catch up, he suddenly found that one of the flashlights was actually hanging in the air above the abyss area.

Just as Chu Tianyi's eyes widened in surprise, another flashlight also hung in the air above the abyss, following closely behind. He immediately quickened his pace, and finally caught up with the "third flashlight" at the edge of another abyss, and the person holding the flashlight was none other than Bei Qin, who was standing there looking ahead.

Chu Tianyi ran closer, and only then did he see that there were three iron chains hanging from the stone walls on both sides to form an iron chain bridge, spanning the abyss. He gasped and asked, "This, what's going on?" Who is that? ”

"I didn't see it clearly," Bei Qin said as he looked at the two flashlights that left, "But, it should be a guy from the Qi family?" ”

"A buddy from the Qi family?" Chu Tianyi couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Could it be that they started to fight among themselves?" ”

Pei Qin frowned slightly, "I have to go over and have a look!" With that, he stepped onto the chain bridge and chased after the two flashlights in front of him, who were already far away.

Chu Tianyi had the heart to follow, but looking at the crumbling iron chain bridge and the bottomless abyss below, he never made up his mind to step forward. Chu Tianyi was hesitating, when suddenly someone on the other side of the abyss shouted, "Don't chase anymore!" Otherwise I'll shoot! ”

This shout was not unfamiliar, Chu Tianyi could hear that it was Qian Lao's voice at once, and a series of questions appeared in his mind, how could he be there? Where to go? Because he saw Qi Guangyu kneeling on the ground just now, Chu Tianyi was sure that the person behind Qian Lao was not the young master of the Qi family, but who could it be?

As he was thinking, tongues of fire suddenly erupted from the darkness in the distance, followed by three gunshots. Chu Tianyi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the chain bridge, the flashlight in the front disappeared after the gunshot, and the one behind it was also invisible after a flash in the distance.

And Bei Qin's flashlight was retreating at an extremely fast speed, and Chu Tianyi was about to ask, when a few crisp clicks came suddenly, which seemed very harsh in this silent environment.

Following the prestige, the chain bridge reflected a black light in the flashlight, and suddenly fell downward. In an instant, Chu Tianyi understood what the sound was just now, Old Man Qian actually shot and broke the chain!

Chu Tianyi only felt his head "buzz", and subconsciously blurted out: "Xiaobei! As he spoke, Bei Qin's flashlight had already reached him, but his speed still did not exceed the speed of the chain bridge falling, less than a meter away, and one of his feet did not step up.

At the last moment, Chu Tianyi didn't think much about it, and stepped forward and reached out to grab it. Fortunately, Bei Qin was not far from the edge of the cliff, and Chu Tianyi's grasp happened to be on his wrist. But unfortunately, because he was standing too far to the side and had no place to borrow his strength, Chu Tianyi couldn't pull the power of Bei Qin's fall at all, and the whole person was dragged into the abyss together.

Bei Qin raised his head and gritted his teeth, spit out two words, "Let go!" ”

At this time, Chu Tianyi didn't care about thinking about whether to let go or not, because he soon couldn't support it, and he couldn't accept it if he wanted to. Seeing that he was about to sink into the darkness below, Chu Tianyi felt his heart shrink into a ball in an instant. Just when he was about to scream, he suddenly felt that his belt was being pulled by someone, and the downward trend of his body slowed down instantly, he turned his head to look and found that Xiao Meng was clenching his teeth and pulling himself with all his might.

However, how could Xiao Meng's strength alone be able to hold him and Pei Qin! Chu Tianyi shouted with some eagerness: "Let go!" He shouted like this, but he didn't know that he was still holding Bei Qin's wrist.

Xiao Meng didn't reply, and he didn't let go.

Bei Qin yelled below, "Let go!" Chu Tianyi closed his eyes in despair, and just as he was about to experience what it was like to fall into darkness, his body suddenly stopped.

Not only Chu Tianyi, but the other two people were also very surprised, they looked up, but found that a somewhat unfamiliar face was pulling Xiao Meng's waist, and before they could speak, this person suddenly forced, and the three of them were all pulled up alive.

The moment Chu Tianyi sat on the ground, he suddenly remembered that the person who pulled them up just now seemed to be the Qi guy who had saved himself from the mouths of those big black lizards before. This made his mind full of question marks, why did a guy from a hostile force help him three times and twice.

He had the heart to ask for an explanation, but when he stood up, the Qi guy didn't know where he had gone. Bei Qin stood on the edge of the cliff, looking thoughtfully at the darkness opposite. Probably feeling Chu Tianyi's gaze, he turned his head and grinned, "Thank you just now, sacrifice yourself to save me!" ”

Chu Tianyi hurriedly waved his hand, "Subconsciously, I was stunned later." ”

Bei Qin wanted to say something, but at this time, a guy hurriedly ran over, lowered his voice and said, "Little Bei Ye! Something is not quite right with that group of Qi family! Go over and take a look. ”

The three of them hurriedly returned to the position where the accident had happened just now, only to find that the Qi family, who was still kneeling there, all stood up at this time. They all turned a blind eye to the others standing around them.

These people were doing some strange movements in a daze. Only then did Chu Tianyi notice that there were still some square holes next to those bronze tripods. These holes are almost two feet square, and they are bottomless.

Judging from the movements of the Qi family, it seems that they picked up something from the hole and put it into the bronze tripod. But in fact, there was nothing in their hands, and the strange scene made the surrounding "audience" look like their scalps were tingling.

Gu Xiaoqian frowned when she saw it, hugged her shoulders and couldn't help but shudder, "What are these people doing?" What are you crazy about? ”

Pei Qin's expression was a little grim, "These people seem to be controlled by something. ”

"What is it?" Xiao Meng couldn't help but shrink his neck and turned his head around a lot.

No one can say clearly about this question at this moment.

"What are they doing?" Chu Tianyi looked at the Qi family in front of him who were performing a "non-physical performance".

"Them?" Bei Qin narrowed his eyes, "It seems to be making something, you see someone putting something in the bronze tripod, and someone seems to be burning fire under the bronze tripod, this ......" He groaned slightly, and blurted out: "This seems to be refining medicine!" ”

"Alchemy?" As soon as Pei Qin's words came out, all the people around him couldn't help but be taken aback.

The guy next to him said with some surprise: "So if they repeat the behavior of the ancient Xu people now, should they ...... It can't be a ghost, right? As soon as he finished speaking, Bei Qin turned his head and glared at him fiercely, don't look at Bei Qin's usual indifferent expression, but at this time there was a thick chill in his eyes, and the guy shrank his neck in fright, and quickly retreated to the side.

Chu Tianyi understood Pei Qin's approach, if he usually heard about the occurrence of such a controlled event like a person, he could come up with many reasons for explaining it, and it was from a scientific point of view. But at this very moment, this unspeakable scene is happening before our eyes, and any explanation pales in comparison, and is useless except to increase the uneasiness and fear in the hearts of men.

Gu Xiaoqian hesitated for a moment, and then asked in Pei Qin's words, "You mean, this place was originally used for refining medicine?" ”

Bei Qin raised his nose and sniffed, "Do you smell a smell of sulfur?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Tianyi also took a breath, indeed as Bei Qin said, there was some heat in the rotten air, and in combination with where they were now, a thought suddenly appeared in its mind, "This is the crater?" ”

As we all know, Changbai Mountain is a volcano, and the most recent eruption was just over 300 years ago. And where they are located is in the depths of the crater. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Chu Tianyi suddenly felt a trace of heat, "Could it be that this is the purpose of the people of Xu Guo coming here back then?" ”

Pei Qin approached Qi Guangyu, who was busy on the edge of the bronze tripod, and the guy next to him asked in a low voice, "Do you want to wake him up?" ”

Pei Qin waved his hand, and then approached the bronze tripod. He seemed to have noticed something, and raised his flashlight to look at it seriously. The others leaned over curiously.

Pei Qin pointed to the carving on Ding's body and said, "You see, this seems to describe the process of operation back then. Under his simple explanation, Chu Tianyi also understood the above content, the ancient Xu people on the copper tripod took it from the depths of the crater through those square wells and saw something, and it should be a plant from the carved patterns. This surprised everyone around them, and no one could have imagined that plants could grow in such a place.

After the ancient Xu people took these plants, they carried out some kind of processing and refining through these copper tripods. Finally, the finished product is put into a beautiful cup. These are all the contents on the copper tripod, which are completely consistent with Pei Qin's speculation just now.
