Chapter 196: The Cave of Terror
For some time after that, the old man appeared out of nowhere, and every time he appeared, many domestic animals would disappear, causing a lot of losses to the people in the village. But how the old man appeared, no one knows, and no one has noticed.
The village chief sent people to patrol the main points in the village, but the old man still appeared as usual, but he couldn't find out how the old man appeared or how he disappeared.
Not only were the villagers anxious, but Uncle Yi and the four of them were even more anxious, and they also used all the methods at their disposal to set up obstacles outside the village to prevent the appearance of the old man, but no one had any effect. The people in the village began to gossip, thinking that Uncle Yi and the four of them could not help the village solve this matter well after eating the food in the village.
At the beginning, the village chief still trusted Uncle Yi and them, but slowly even the village chief began to have opinions about Uncle Yi and the four outsiders. Uncle Yi and the four of them also knew that if they didn't find out the reason for the old man's appearance, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to stay in this village for long.
It was also a coincidence that within a day or two, when a villager got up at night, he happened to see the old man slowly rising from the ground, and there seemed to be something wrapped around his waist. It wasn't until the old man had completely risen from the ground that the thing around his waist was gone.
The man was horrified at the sight of this, but he tried to suppress his emotions as much as possible. Knowing that the old man had completely disappeared from sight, the villager hurriedly ran towards the house, not even noticing that his crotch was wet.
This matter spread in the village the next day, and the villagers always thought that the old man ran into the village from the mountain, so he had been guarding outside the village, and Uncle Yi and the things they set up were also placed outside the village, but they never thought that the old man would come out of the ground.
After the village chief learned about this, he took the man to the place where he saw the old man appear yesterday. Uncle Yi and the four of them also went with them, and when the place was dug up, they found that there was a big hole inside, and the black hole looked unfathomable, and a trace of evil air came out of it.
When the hole was dug, the villagers were amazed. Although this place is not on the main road of the village, it is also a road that is usually walked, and the soil covered on it is not very thick, so I never thought that there was such a deep hole underneath.
The villagers tried to throw a stone into it, and soon a sound came up, and it should not be deep. A brave junior volunteered to go in and check, light a torch and tie a rope and go down.
After going down for a while, the villagers found that the rope had been sent down, and hurriedly pulled the rope back, and found that the bold offspring was no longer visible on the rope, but only a extinguished torch was tied. Uncle Yi immediately realized that something was wrong, and then told the village chief that he was willing to go to the cave with Principal Zhao and the two senior brothers of the Taoist hat to rescue the descendant.
When the villagers were overwhelmed by the sudden disappearance of the next generation, they saw that Uncle Yi and Tann were willing to go down to save people and thanked them repeatedly. Uncle Yi and the four of them took the guys and went down to the cave.
The cave is very damp, and you can feel some evil breath, although there are lit torches and flashlights, but you still can't fully see the whole picture of the cave. The four of them all took out their magic weapons and charms to guard against them, and they bottomed out after they didn't go deep.
When I saw the bottom, I found that there was nothing inside, but there was also a large hole in the wall at the bottom. Uncle Yi and the four of them looked at the hole and then walked into the hole, nothing happened at first, and after walking for a while, something happened.
Uncle Yi walked in front with a torch, and suddenly the second senior brother who was walking in the middle shouted, "Senior brother, did you just pat me?" As soon as these words came out, Uncle Yi and Principal Zhao looked back at the two senior brothers in the Taoist hat, but the senior brother said with a blank face: "No, I didn't shoot you, what's wrong with you?" ”
The second senior brother said suspiciously: "I just felt that someone was slapping me behind my back, I thought it was you, but who else is it you?" As soon as his words fell, Uncle Yi realized that something was wrong, and he didn't know when a lot of tree roots appeared on the surrounding soil walls.
The roots of the tree were intertwined, and it looked like it was a little bigger, as if the hole had cut off the roots, and it looked like there were a lot of them. Uncle Yi hurriedly beckoned to the other three people, and Principal Zhao and the two senior brothers stopped and looked around.
"Why are there so many roots? I haven't seen it yet. The senior brother frowned and looked around, and Principal Zhao also looked around vigilantly, but after looking at it for a while, he found that the roots of the trees did not move, and everyone continued to walk forward.
Although they are still moving forward, everyone has also taken precautions, especially to pay attention to the sudden appearance of tree roots. But it was still useless, after just a few steps, a large mass of wriggling tree roots suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave in front of me, and it was the same when I looked back, the roots completely blocked the road in front and behind.
Uncle Yi hurriedly took out the charm and threw it at the roots, and Principal Zhao and the two senior brothers also tried their best to repel the roots. Charms and magic weapons do have an effect on these roots, and when they are hit, the roots retreat again and again.
However, Uncle Yi's charms are limited, and the physical strength of other people is also exhausted, but those tree roots are endless, and they are very tricky, and sometimes they even drill out from the walls, overhead and underground without any defense.
After resisting for a while, Uncle Yi and the others were already entangled by the roots, they couldn't move, and the torches were also extinguished by the roots. The roots wrapped around them, and they quickly burrowed into the hole. After a while, Uncle Yi and the others came to a larger cave.
When I looked up, I found that the height of this cave was about ten meters high, and the cave was full of roots that were entwined and growing, and the bottom of the cave was where those roots stretched down. Even though the place is underground, everything inside can be seen clearly.
If you look closely, you will find that there are a lot of fluorescent insects growing in the roots of these trees, although these insects are small, but the roots of the trees are almost densely packed with this kind of insects, and the many fluorescences gather together to completely illuminate the cave.
Those bugs make people's scalps tingle, but the next scene makes people's scalps tingle even more. There are a lot of skeletons hanging on the roots of the trees that are entwined around them, and the roots of the trees are growing on the white bones, which looks very terrifying, and there are also a lot of bone meal on the ground that have become scum due to the growth and entanglement of the roots.
Some of those skeletons were humans, some were beasts, and there were a lot of them. Most of the bones were also left with fragments of clothing or complete clothes, some of which looked like they were from that time, while others looked very old, as if they were a long time ago.
Just among these roots, Uncle Yi also saw the descendant who had just come down, but at this time he had been entangled in the roots, his eyes were round, and he looked dead. Uncle Yi and the others never thought that there was such a huge and terrifying cave near this village, which should be in the mountains according to the distance.
However, Uncle Yi didn't have time to think about it after thinking about it for a while, because those tree roots had already begun to squirm, and they were coming towards the four of them. Principal Zhao tried to cut off the roots with the knife he was carrying, but after chopping one of them down, another one came and wrapped around him.
The roots of these trees were cut off, and at the same time, they also gave the elder brother an inspiration. He shouted at Uncle Yi and the others, "Let's cut off the roots of the tree at the same time and fall, and then launch the Four Directions Yang Array at the same time, which should be able to resist for a while." ”
This method was also the only way at that time, and then the four of them cut off the roots of the tree wrapped around their bodies at the same time, and quickly stood up after falling, and their hands also drew a formation in an instant, and they also resisted the roots of the trees attacking from all directions.
The four of them have been adrift in the country for many years, and they have seen a lot of things, how many dangerous situations have they not encountered? Therefore, this quadripartite yang array was quickly drawn, and at the same time as it was drawn and activated, more tree roots also attacked in an instant.
Those tree roots directly hit the formation, but there was no problem with the formation, but those tree roots all became charred. Uncle Yi and the four of them were very happy to find that the formation was effective, so they used this formation to start resisting the roots that attacked everywhere.
The roots of the tree kept coming, but this Quartet Yang Array also made use of the source of nature, although it needed to be maintained by four people with advanced Dao methods at the same time, but there was not much loss, so no matter how many tree roots there were, they were all blocked out of the formation.
After a while, the tree roots near the formation had no active roots, except for some broken roots that had become charred and blackened. Those tree roots seemed to realize that this formation could not be broken through, and slowly stopped breaking into the formation, but squirmed and monitored at a distance from the formation.
Although those tree roots couldn't break through this formation, they had been thinking about the nourishment of these four living people, and gradually surrounded this formation into a circle.
The skeletons hanging on the roots of the tree also gradually fell from the top of the height due to the wriggling of the roots, and some of the skeletons may have been too old, and when they fell to the ground, they were also broken into a pile of powder, and gradually accumulated a lot of bone powder and white bones on the ground.
There were faint changes in the whole cave, the wriggling of those tree roots began to get faster and faster, and the insects lying on the roots of the trees were also startled, which made Uncle Yi feel a little bad.
