Chu Tianyi looked at it while eating, and there was nothing strange about the paintings on the stone wall. It's nothing more than some ritual legends of gods and ghosts. As he turned, he felt his ass be smacked, and as soon as he reached out, he picked up a piece of gravel from the ground.

It is really common to find gravel in this kind of place, Chu Tianyi didn't care about it after taking a look, and wanted to throw it aside, but when he twisted it with his hand, he actually dropped a lot of powder. For a moment, he was curious about the material of this stone, and he wanted to take a clear look at it. The others had already gotten up and were ready to move on.

Chu Tianyi glanced at the stone in his hand twice, and raised his hand and threw it aside without finding any doorway.

From the location of the stone gate, there is a short passageway, similar to the porch in the current house. At the end of the porch there is a statue on each side. One of them had already fallen to the ground, broken into several knots. The other was still there, but half of his body was broken.

Because of what happened just now, everyone was a little sensitive when they saw the stone statue, and everyone looked at it vigilantly.

Xiao Meng shone a flashlight and exclaimed, "I'll go, this stone statue is strange enough!" ”

Others also looked over and saw that the stone statue was standing there but it was not a human being, and it had a peculiar shape. The statue had a human-faced dragon body, especially with a strange smile on its face.

"What is this?" Xiao Meng said as he watched.

"This should be a drum." Chu Tianyi took a closer look and said. In the past, when his grandfather was alive, he would also tell him some ancient legends and myths. So, he also knows a little bit about it.

"Drums?" Xiao Meng looked confused, "How can this be a drum?" It doesn't look like it, where is it? ”

Bei Qin next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xiao Meng's face was a little embarrassed, and he turned his head and glared at him fiercely.

Bei Qin didn't care, and after laughing a few times, he said: "This is not the kind of drum that is beaten, the drum that Brother Tianyi said is a name." He is the second son of Candle Jiuyin, and legend has it that he gave birth to a human-faced dragon body, and his name is Drum. ”

"Oh, I see!" Xiao Meng nodded suddenly, "This ancient man is too, how can he give his child such a name." ”

Bei Qin smiled and didn't speak, he turned his head to look at Chu Tianyi, "Brother Tianyi is really knowledgeable. ”

"It's nothing," Chu Tianyi waved his hand, "It's just that I've heard my grandfather tell relevant stories before." However, the statue of the drum is indeed extremely rare, and I don't know what the intentions of the people of the Xu Kingdom are. ”

Pei Qin kicked the stone statue that had fallen to the ground, "No matter what their intentions are, at least don't worry that this stone man will suddenly jump up and attack us." With that, he turned and walked forward.

Chu Tianyi carefully inspected the broken stubble of the stone man again before walking forward. Xiao Meng followed him, took a few steps and turned his head sharply.

Chu Tianyi noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Meng snorted and shook his head, "Just now, the flashlight flickered, and I felt that the stone statue's expression seemed to have changed." ”

"Oh?" Chu Tianyi remembered the experience just now, his heart jumped suddenly, and he quickly raised his flashlight to shine it, but he saw that the stone statue was still standing there as it was just now, motionless.

After looking at the two of them for a while, they couldn't see anything abnormal, Chu Tianyi turned his head and asked, "What did you see just now?" ”

"I, I," Xiao Meng seemed a little jealous, but he still took a deep breath and said, "I smiled when I saw it!" ”

Chu Tianyi subconsciously took two steps back, and his face became a little nervous. Standing there for a moment, he clutched his dagger and walked over to the statue, probing the point of his knife into the broken part of its body. Determined that there would be no corpse hidden in this stone statue, Chu Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief, it was absolutely impossible for a simple stone carving to come back to life.

He turned his head and smiled at Xiao Meng, "It's really a bit of a rumor, it's okay, let's go!" ”

Xiao Meng nodded and followed Chu Tianyi forward, "Brother Yi, what did you say just now, what did you say in the wind?" ”

"It's nothing, let's go!"

Further from the position of the stone statue, you enter a larger space. The width of the left and right is more than twenty-five meters, and the height is about twenty meters.

The group walked in, and more than a dozen flashlights scanned the surroundings. In a place like this, a larger space gives you the feeling of not spaciousness, but oppression and emptiness, a feeling that comes from the darkness that pervades all around.

Bei Qin calmly looked left and right, raised a hand and made a gesture, "Everyone disperses, echoing in twos and twos." ”

The guys of the Gu family answered, and scattered away from a certain distance. Their actions seemed to have torn a hole in the darkness, and the uncomfortable feeling just now dissipated a lot.

Bei Qin made another gesture, and everyone began to move forward together. Chu Tianyi and Xiao Meng's faces both showed a look of admiration.

Gu Xiaoqian smiled, "Xiaobei, I didn't expect your team to be so tacit, I don't think those guys in the inner gate, including Gu Mingzhe and their subordinates, can't do it to this extent." ”

Bei Qin sneered, "Just their few pieces of material, the three views are not correct, how can they compare with my people, joke!" ”

Gu Xiaoqian pursed her lips, "You said you were fat, and you were still panting." ”

Bei Qin just wanted to say something, but suddenly, the guy next to him shouted, "Little Bei Ye, there is a dead end ahead." ”

He instantly put away the smile on his face, showed a puzzled expression, and walked quickly in that direction.

Pei Qin walked up to the guy who was talking and looked at it, and it was indeed a hard rock in front of him, and there was no way out. Chu Tianyi also came over to take a look, "Could it be that we are walking a dead end?" ”

"Unlikely!" Pei Qin shook his head, "Even if this place was built a thousand years ago, no matter how old it is, people will follow the most basic logic. It is pointless to build a dead end in this way, and it is an extremely difficult thing to start construction in such a place, and the people of the ancient Xu Kingdom will not do such useless work. ”

After Bei Qin finished speaking, he clenched his fist and drew a circle on his head, and then spread his five fingers. The men under him understood, and immediately scattered to find a way out. Then, the reply I waited for was extremely depressing, and I didn't find any other exit except the entrance where I entered.

Pei Qin also looked a little anxious, he squatted on the ground and began to discuss other possibilities with a few of his subordinates, and suddenly a guy shouted from a distance: "Little Bei Ye, there is a situation here!" ”

When Bei Qin heard this, he suddenly got up and walked quickly towards the guy who was shouting.

Walking up to him, a fellow pointed to the bottom of the stone wall and said, "You see, there are a lot of bones scattered here, and they are very scattered. ”

Pei Qin, Chu Tianyi and the others took a closer look, and sure enough, they saw a lot of broken bones scattered on the ground, and many of the fragments could clearly show that these were human bones.

Gu Xiaoqian didn't get too close, but she also glanced at it with a flashlight, "How many people's bones are these?" Why did it shatter like this? ”

Bei Qin frowned slightly and squatted down to look at it for a while, "These bones are not complete, I can't tell how many people they are." ”

"Will it be ......" a guy seemed to think of something, and he stopped talking a little.

Pei Qin glanced up at him, "If there's a fart, let it go!" ”

"Little Beiye," the guy looked a little solemn, "you said that these bones are so broken, will they be eaten by something?" ”

As soon as he said this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on everyone's bodies. Everyone subconsciously looked around vigilantly, and it seemed that in the dark corner where they couldn't see, there was a fierce beast peeping at them.

Chu Tianyi picked up a piece of human bone with a short knife and looked at it, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "The stubble where these bones are broken is relatively flat, not like they were bitten off. And have you noticed a problem, these bones are only the skull, hand bones, ribs, shoulder blades, and some humerus, ulna, and radius, which are all bones of the upper body. ”

As soon as this discovery came out, the faces of the people around him couldn't help but change.

"That's true!" Xiao Meng flicked among the bones.

"In this way," Pei Qin frowned, "only the upper body, not the lower body, and there is a neat stubble." He looked up at Chu Tianyi, and at this time, Chu Tianyi didn't come up with any clue, and shook his head at him slightly.

After thinking for a while, Bei Qin stood up and nodded to beckon a guy, "You, come, stand here." ”

The guy stood up to him a little dazed, Bei Qin picked up the short knife and raised his hand to gesture at the man's waist, and then shook his head again. His pedestrians confused those around him.

Gu Xiaoqian asked in surprise: "Xiaobei, are you okay, what are you doing here?" ”

Bei Qin didn't speak, but looked the guy in front of him up and down, which made the guy feel like he was on pins and needles, and his expression was extremely unnatural.

At this time, Chu Tianyi suddenly bent down and said, "Lower your body." ”

Bei Qin's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his guy's back, "Bend over." Then, he turned his head to look at Chu Tianyi, "You mean so?" ”

"Yes," Chu Tianyi nodded, "I think I can bend a little more." Pei Qin listened and nodded.

Gu Xiaoqian and Xiao Meng's eyes were full of question marks, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Experiment." Chu Tianyi said without raising his head.

"Hmph," Gu Xiaoqian sneered, "It's really inexplicable that neuropathy can communicate with neuropathy!" ”

After trying a few times, Bei Qin directly pressed the guy to the ground and ordered, "You climb forward." ”

"Huh?" The guy has been confused, "What? ”

"Climb there, quick!" Bei Qin said again.

The man sighed and crawled forward. Bei Qin looked at this scene and glanced at Chu Tianyi, his eyes immediately widened, and he suddenly raised his short knife and slashed down.

The blade stopped less than two centimeters away from the man's body, and the man closed his eyes tightly in fright.

"I see!" Bei Qin reached out and helped the man up.
