The entrance of the dark and secluded cave was swishing and cool, faintly emitting a faint smell of blood, Huangfu Hongyi walked to the entrance of the cave, lit the torch, turned to Dugu Shaobai and said: "Shaobai, I will enter the cave with you, the terrain in the cave is unknown, just in case, Miss Lu is still waiting for us outside the cave." ”

The cave is mysterious and thrilling, there will be danger at any time, there is a person to guard the entrance of the cave, if the people in the cave have an accident, the people outside the cave can also go to move the rescuers, this is also a foolproof strategy.

"Let's go in with Dugu, there may be a poisonous array in the cave, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of poisoning, I will be able to heal, I can help."

For some reason, when Lu Lingxue thought that Dugu Shaobai might be in danger of being poisoned, her heart was uneasy, and she was bound to be by his side, and with him, she could rest assured.

Dugu Shaobai and Lu Lingxue looked at each other, and in her clear eyes, she saw a trace of begging, as if she was very eager to step into the cave with her.

Lu Lingxue was reasonable, she came to get rid of the fear of poisoning for them, Dugu Shaobai responded: "Hongyi, let me enter the cave with Lingxue, you are waiting for us outside the cave, if we haven't come out of the cave at the time, it means that we are in danger." ”

Huangfu Hongyi: "Okay, then you should be more careful. ”

Dugu Shaobai nodded, took the torch in the hands of Huangfu Hongyi, and stepped into the cave with Lu Lingxue.

In the cave, you can't see your fingers, the cave wall is full of potholes, and the water droplets fall from the cave wall one by one, which is cool and refreshing. The tunnel is not wide, just enough for two people to walk side by side.

There was a smell of blood in the cave, and the further you went inside, the stronger the smell of blood became. Dugu Shaobai held a torch to illuminate the road ahead, and about ten steps ahead, there was a rusty iron door.

Under the iron gate, there was a shocking pile of dry bones, two miserable white skulls lying on the dry bones, and two pairs of dark eye holes facing Dugu Shaobai and Lu Lingxue, as if they were resentful and looking directly at the people who intruded into their territory.

Lu Lingxue took a few steps closer, only to hear a "grunt", and a skull lying on dry bones rolled down for no reason and landed at Lu Lingxue's feet.

Dugu Shaobai frowned slightly, they obviously didn't touch the pile of dry bones, why did this skull roll down by itself?

Suddenly, there was a burst of fire. The smell of medicine rushed into the tip of his nose, and Dugu Shaobai quickly pulled Lu Lingxue's body to his side, Lu Lingxue secretly screamed that it was not good, and suddenly retreated to Dugu Shaobai's side.

Dugu Shaobai hugged her in his arms and threw herself on the ground, "Bang! "The skull that rolled to the ground was blown to pieces.

The dust and ashes drifted away, choking Lu Lingxue and coughing, "cough cough cough ......". Fortunately, Dugu Shaobai protected her just now, otherwise, she would definitely be injured by the skull.

"How's it going? Are you okay? Dugu Shaobai protected her with his own body, and the two fell to the ground, his hands on both sides of her body, and his posture was extremely ambiguous.

Lu Lingxue came back to her senses and found that the posture of the two was very awkward, she hurriedly pushed away Dugu Shaobai, and stood up awkwardly, if it wasn't for the fact that the cave was too dark, her embarrassment would definitely be seen by Dugu Shaobai.

"I'm sorry I offended you just now." Dugu Shaobai apologized, the situation was urgent just now, and he had to protect her under him, but after all, men and women are different, and he has no intention of offending her.

"No, no, you saved me, why do you want to be offended? I should thank you. Lu Lingxue's little face was involuntarily hot, her eyes were erratic, even in the dark cave, she didn't dare to look at Dugu Shaobai.

The cave was pitch black, and Dugu Shaobai couldn't see Lu Lingxue's shyness, so he bent down to pick up the torches that fell on the ground and lit them again.

Dugu Shaobai handed the torch to Lu Lingxue and said, "Lingxue, you follow me." ”

Lu Lingxue nodded, although she was good at medical skills, but for this kind of hidden weapon, she was never as knowledgeable as Dugu Shaobai.

Dugu Shaobai popped out a stone from his fingertips, and the stone hit the other skull hard, "Bang! Another burst of sparks. Both skulls are filled with fried. Medicine, as long as someone approaches, it will explode on its own.

"Boom—"

After the skull was blown up, the ground beneath their feet began to vibrate, and the iron door behind the dry bones slowly opened, and the strong smell of blood and rancid smell came to the nostrils, which was disgusting.

Dugu Shaobai and Lu Lingxue covered their mouths and noses and walked to the iron gate, and they saw clearly that there was no road under the iron gate, and there was a big cave below, and the distance between the ground and them was five zhang high.

If you accidentally step on the air, there is only one way to die. Only those who are familiar with the terrain and skilled in martial arts will have the opportunity to enter the cave below.

"Let's go down." Dugu Shaobai jumped and slowly landed on the ground, followed by Lu Lingxue.

"Tick ...... Tick ...... "The cave is full of stalactites, and water is constantly dripping down, cold and damp.

Dugu Shaobai lit the road ahead with a torch, this cave was bottomless, and the front was pitch black, like an endless black hole.

"Dugu, look." Lu Lingxue walked to the side of the mountain wall, and under the firelight, she saw that there were a total of ten stone beds in the cave, and on each stone bed was a dry red body. Naked corpses.

The corpses were shriveled and skinny, like those of a starved man.

Dugu Shaobai walked along the ten stone beds, these were all male corpses, each corpse had different degrees of corpse spots, these corpses exuded a strong smell of blood and rancidity, but the corpses did not have any traces of decay.

Dugu Shaobai thought to himself, could it be that these corpses, like the bat found outside the cave, have been preserved by human medicine, and the cave is cool and damp, so they have an incorruptible body?

"Dugu, I just observed, these corpses should have been dead for more than a month, and they have not decayed, but have become dried corpses."

Lu Lingxue's torch approached a dead corpse, and the torch made a "zizi" sound, perhaps because the firelight was too close, and the skin of the corpse on the head of the corpse illuminated by the fire slowly oozing blood.

Lu Lingxue was startled, and immediately moved the torch away, Dugu Shaobai held her torch with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't move away." ”

The two of them took torches and shone the corpse with the light of the fire from beginning to end.

As expected, this dried corpse was the same as the bat corpse, the body was lighted, the corpse seemed to be cooked, smoking hot, the skin of the whole body gradually oozing blood, the flesh began to rot, and after half a pillar of incense, it suddenly turned into a bloody dry bone.

Dugu Shaobai and Lu Lingxue looked at each other, it was the first time they had seen such a strange scene, the corpse that had been dead for more than a month, the corpse could remain incorruptible, but it could not see the light, as long as they saw the light, the skin on their bodies would turn into a pool of blood, until it became a pile of bones.

"I'm afraid these corpses will have to be transported back to your Protector Mountain Villa before we can find out why." Lu Lingxue said.

Dugu Shaobai looked solemn, nodded, and said, "Let's go ahead and have a look." ”

Holding their torches, they walked straight ahead, and after passing through a narrow passage, another cave was exposed in front of them.

The firelight illuminated the cave, and the scene in front of it was shocking, the center of the cave was full of skulls and white bones, and at a glance, there were more than a hundred skulls, and the white dry bones were intertwined, and there were at least a hundred corpses. It's like a big mass grave, piling up corpses and letting them decompose silently.

Suddenly, a wisp of fragrance wafted from nowhere, with the experience of the previous car, Dugu Shaobai and Lu Lingxue immediately sealed their own acupoints, holding their breath and concentrating, for fear that this wisp of fragrance was some kind of mystery. The taste of medicine.

After a while, the fragrance dissipated, and Dugu Shaobai and Lu Lingxue dared to relax and relieve their acupoints. They walked up to the pile of dry bones with torches, and there were dried blood on the ground.

These people who died here may be the result of being used by the Black Wind Sect to test the medicine. Dugu Shaobai's heart ached faintly, and what followed was a burst of indignant anger.

"Those people lost their conscience and trampled on other people's lives under their feet, but I didn't expect that this ordinary mountain would become a guillotine for those executioners to mutilate the people."

Lu Lingxue looked at the pile of hundreds of bones in front of her, and sighed helplessly, "Dugu, we came today to find the secret of this cave, and only by finding clues as soon as possible can we give these unjust souls justice." ”

Dugu Shaobai's eyebrows were frowning, his face was heavy, they couldn't let these dry bones come back to life, only by bringing the murderer to justice could these people who died unexpectedly be blinded under the Nine Springs.

Looking around, there was nothing in the cave but this pile of dry bones, and it was empty.

Dugu Shaobai lit the ground beside him with a torch, there were uneven marks on the ground, and there were four symmetrical deep seals on the stone floor, and before they came, there should have been a four-legged object placed here.

Is it the tripod of alchemy?

Dugu Shaobai squatted down, his fingers touched the ground, maybe there was a thousand catties of big tripods placed here for a long time, and the four feet under the tripod were embedded in the ground, so they left a deep trace.

"Nine times out of ten, the cave here is where the Black Wind Sect refines and tests medicines, but apart from the dead bodies and dry bones, no other clues about the Black Wind Sect have been found."

"Dugu, look, what is this?" Lu Lingxue stood in front of the pile of dry bones and asked, pointing to a skull claw on the ground.

Dugu Shaobai stepped forward, and the torch approached the skull claw, and on this white bone, there was a shining gold bracelet.

Dugu Shaobai took off the gold bracelet, there were already scratches on it, and it looked like it had been some years. He took the gold bracelet and looked inside and out, and found that there was a "Yi" character engraved on the inside of the bracelet, and next to this "Yi" word, there were several small characters.

"Is it the Treasure Chamber?!"

Dugu Shaobai was shocked, this is undoubtedly a major discovery, the gold and silver jewelry created by the Treasure Pavilion will be engraved with its own shop name on it.

As long as you go to the Treasure Pavilion to find out the identity of the owner of this gold bracelet, you may be able to find clues about the Black Wind Cult.
