The Royal Mausoleum of Liansheng Kingdom, in the early hours of the morning.

At this moment, in the secret entrance of the royal mausoleum, there is a Royal Forest Army soldier running in a panic, judging from the large amount of sweat on his face, he has been running for a long time, and it seems that he has experienced extremely terrifying things before.

When he finally rushed to the entrance at the end of the passage, he fell to the ground due to physical exhaustion, which also attracted the attention of the other Royal Forest guards guarding the entrance, and they all hurriedly greeted him curiously, and one of the men who seemed to be the captain asked with concern: "Brother Lei Yang, why did you come out alone?" What about the other brothers on night patrol? ”

"Captain! Fast! Report...... Commander-in-Chief, Cemetery ...... Something's wrong! ......Hurry up," said the sweaty Imperial Forest soldier named Lei Yang, panting, with an extremely anxious look on his face.

"What? Something happened to the cemetery? The cleaning palace maids all left yesterday evening, and the cemetery was empty, how could something happen? Yes! No way! Are you saying something happened to the other patrol brothers? The captain of the Imperial Forest Army asked in shock as he helped Lei Yang.

"They...... They're all dead! Only ...... are left I'm alone...... It's terrible......" Lei Yang said with extreme fear.

"Hurry up and tell the Commander, I'll take someone to check it out first. A few of you will help him to the barracks to rest, and the Commander will definitely have something to ask him in a moment. After listening to Lei Yang's words, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army also realized that the matter was more serious, and hurriedly asked a soldier beside him to inform the commander, and he led a team of Royal Forest Army to quickly rush along the passage in the direction of the Royal Mausoleum.

When the captain led a small group of Royal Guards soldiers all the way to the secret entrance of the royal mausoleum, before he could get out of the gate, he heard a very strange cry faintly outside, not birds, not people, as if some kind of animal was calling.

Suddenly, the captain motioned for everyone to keep silent, and they all stopped and listened carefully.

"Chirp...... Ahhhh......h Woo woo wow ......"

After listening carefully for a while, the captain's face became very solemn, and he could confirm that there was indeed an animal calling behind the gate in front of him.

It made him feel incredible!

Because as far as he knows, since this royal mausoleum was built hundreds of thousands of years ago, in order to allow the emperors of the past dynasties to sleep quietly in this cemetery after their deaths, and to prevent any birds or animals from destroying the ice coffin, everything living in it has been destroyed.

In addition, this royal mausoleum is surrounded by poisonous miasma and swamps, and birds and animals outside cannot enter at all, so that this royal mausoleum is usually as silent as death, and it is impossible for animals to appear again.

Even the soldiers of the Imperial Guards patrolling at night were only allowed to patrol this passage, and they were not allowed to go out through this gate and enter the royal mausoleum.

Unless the palace maids clean the cemetery for three days a month, there will be patrols by the Royal Forest Army throughout the day.

Then there is the sudden emergency in the cemetery, such as when someone is suspected of breaking in, the patrolling Royal Forest soldiers are allowed to open the gate to check.

But at this moment, the captain found that the gate was closed, and the other patrolling soldiers were not in the passage, which means that there must have been an emergency in the cemetery before, and those patrolling Royal Forest soldiers opened the door to check.

As a result, only Lei Yang came back alive to report, and at this moment, the monster outside the door was still calling but there was no soldier's voice, obviously they should be more than lucky.

"Captain, what should I do? Would you like to open the door and go out and have a look? Just as the captain was lost in thought, one of the Royal Forest soldiers beside him asked in a whisper.

"Well, just open the door through a gap large enough for one person to pass through, and then half of the people go out with me, and the other half of the people will quickly close the gate after we go out, and lock it, and do not open the door without my order, or until the Lord of the Lords comes, lest the monster rush into the passage and escape from the cemetery, and it will be difficult to catch it." Do you understand everything? The captain said cautiously.

"Yes, Captain!" The guards agreed.

Then, under the command of the captain, several Royal Forest soldiers carefully opened the door through a crack, and the captain first flashed out of the gate, followed by ten more Royal Forest soldiers, and the door was quickly closed and locked.

After coming to the gate and walking forward along a dark passage for dozens of feet, the captain finally came to a dense bamboo forest.

It stands to reason that the sky is already dawn and the sun is out. However, this bamboo forest is very dim, and the white fog is filled, the visibility is very poor, and this bamboo forest seems to have a wide range, once you rush in, you will inevitably get lost in the bamboo forest.

The captain and the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army did not enter the bamboo forest immediately, but listened again, and found that the monster's voice was not far from here, and it was erratic, obviously the monster was running around in the bamboo forest at the moment, as if it was trapped in the bamboo forest because it was lost.

"Captain, this monster seems to be trapped in the fog and can't get out, so why don't we turn off the fog mechanism? If it doesn't close, we'll lose our way if we rush in. After listening for a while, one of the soldiers whispered to the captain for instructions.

"Don't close the fog, or the monster will run out of this bamboo forest and back into the woods of the cemetery, and we will have a hard time catching it. After all, only this bamboo forest has a mist mechanism, and it is also the only secret entrance to the cemetery, and it is naturally the best place to capture it. Leave one person here, and the rest of me will check on it first, and as for how to capture this monster, wait for the commander to bring someone here, and then make a decision. The captain lowered his voice and agreed.

Then, one of the soldiers stayed where he was, waiting for the arrival of the commander behind him, while the captain led the other soldiers deeper into the bamboo forest, carving a mark on the bamboo beside him with his knife as he went, so as not to eventually lose his way.

"Not good! Everyone be careful, it seems that the further you go, the more and more these bamboos are withering? What kind of monster is that? Can you absorb the vitality of this entire bamboo forest? The captain reminded as he walked, suddenly pointing to the bamboo beside him.

After the captain's reminder, the other soldiers found that the bamboo around them was indeed no longer the original green appearance, but had become much yellower, so they walked more cautiously.

"Captain, look, there seems to be someone in that direction! Could it be the other brothers? Just as the captain was groping his way with the group, one of the soldiers shouted pointing in one direction.

The captain quickly stopped and looked over, and it seemed that there was a person lying on the ground.

"Let's go! Go over and take a look, be careful, if something appears, don't kill it casually, try to catch it alive! The captain said with a frown.

When the captain came to the man lying on the ground, he recognized him from his back on the spot, and it was one of the Royal Guards soldiers patrolling at night.

He hurriedly squatted down, turned over the soldier lying on the ground and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and the other soldiers behind him also took a few steps back in shock when they saw the soldier lying on the ground, and quickly drew their knives and looked around vigilantly, as if there was a monster hiding near them.

The reason why they were so nervous was because the soldiers lying on the ground were all shriveled and bloodless, and had become skinny and bone-like.

He looked extremely cautious, as if some blood-sucking monster had sucked up the soldier's blood in an instant.

The soldier's expression was very frightened, as if he had experienced an extremely terrible scene before he died, and looking at his appearance, he should not know what happened until the moment he died, as if he died inexplicably.

Later, under the leadership of the captain, after continuing to advance for a certain distance, these soldiers successively found more corpses of night patrol soldiers, all of whom died in the same appearance, all of them died quickly without the ability to resist.

This sudden scene also made the captain's mood extremely heavy, and the other soldiers were even more panicked, not knowing whether to continue to move forward or wait for the commander to come before continuing the search.

It was at this moment that something that worried them even more arose, that is, the thing that made a strange scream was approaching a few of them.

So, the captain quickly ordered everyone to form a circle back to back, with a knife in his hand, ready to kill the monster at any time.

It didn't take long for these soldiers to see a small black shadow in the depths of the bamboo forest, jumping up and down in the direction where they were.

Soon, they saw clearly that it was a monkey running towards them!

The monkey didn't seem to be anything special, and when he came to them and saw the captain and the soldiers clearly, he seemed to find a savior.

He rushed in front of them, dancing and babbling, as if he was talking to them excitedly.

Unfortunately, no matter how carefully these soldiers tried to understand it, they still couldn't understand what the monkey was trying to say.

However, for the captain who is good at observation and thinking, he still roughly understood, although he could not say that he understood it completely, at least he was sure that this monkey was not the culprit who drained the night patrol soldiers.

It's the same victim, it seems that after something frightened it had happened in the cemetery last night, it accidentally entered this bamboo forest with a misty mechanism as it ran around.

It may have been its panicked shouting in the bamboo forest that attracted the night patrol soldiers to look at it and ask for help.

As a result, before the soldiers could understand the meaning of the monkey, they were drained of blood and died.

This also caused the monkey to run around in even more fear, and it was clear that it had been trapped in this bamboo forest for a long time, which was why it shouted so excitedly when it saw the captain and the soldiers.

At this moment, the captain heard a lot of noisy voices and footsteps behind him, and he knew that it was the commander who had arrived with reinforcements......
