'Click'

Jiang Cang's footsteps landed on some hard rocks, and he heard that the tunnel was very quiet slightly downward, and the footsteps were clearly audible, echoing all around.

Outside, Lao Yao and the others saw Jiang Cang walk in, and they didn't delay much, bent down into the tunnel, and shone a flashlight on the ground at close range.

For a moment, the light flickered, and the nearby scene appeared.

Jiang Cang saw that there were five people walking side by side here, and their appearance was similar to the cave outside, all of them were rocky mountains, nothing special.

But Lao Yao's flashlights shone on this piece, and they also used their hands to half-cover the light to prevent the light from going too far.

Because the two of them don't know where the monster is hiding, in case it hits in the distance and dangles, this lead is a tunnel.

In addition, Lao Yao had been to the 'Jade Tomb' before, and he had experience, so he knew that as soon as these monsters moved, there would be a sound, and he was not afraid of getting closer, and the three of them didn't notice anything.

And Jiang Cang and the three of them walked carefully, walked about 130 meters, and after going down 120 meters, their bodies slowly straightened, and the tunnel was wider than before, and they could stand side by side about ten people.

But I don't know how long this tunnel is, only the footsteps of the three of them are dull, very 'silent', and it seems a little depressing.

At least Jiang Cang looked forward with night vision, although he saw a turn on the left twenty meters ahead, but he couldn't use night vision to look in.

But when I used my divine sense to probe, when I got to the corner, there was something blocking my divine sense.

See this scene.

Jiang Cang felt that there was a second 'mountain gate' there? ’

If that's the case, I just don't know if my blood jade can be opened, or maybe there are several keys in the jade tomb, and Lao Yao didn't collect them all?

And although the tunnel here is wide, Lao Yao still walks cautiously with his body bowed.

Especially when you walk another ten meters and are about to reach the corner.

Lao Yao saw that there seemed to be a turn in front of him, but his footsteps stopped slightly, and explained to Jiang Cang in a low voice.

But Jiang Cang found that what he said was unexpected, but he was a little unsure in his heart.

"Sure enough... There are no monsters inside the tunnels.. I was a little too careful.." Lao Yao said, his face was obviously much more serious, but the light in his hand was on, and his appearance was even more infiltrating.

"The last time I went to the Jade Tomb with Ryoko, it was also a group of people who passed through the tunnel at the beginning... It's just that at the end of the entrance, at such a corner, I saw those monsters... There are also the legendary 'ghosts', they came out from all directions at that time, and I don't know how they appeared, anyway, they chased us, chased us to the tomb, and chased us all the way... If it weren't for the fact that someone in the back was caught by ghosts and monsters, 'behind the mat'... We guess we're eating this too."

Lao Yao said this, staring at the bend in front of him, although many years have passed, but now he still has palpitations when he sees a familiar scene, not to mention that he really arrived in this mountain tomb today.

To be honest, if he hadn't seen this little brother Jiang's force here, he should be able to deal with monsters, then he would have gone home and gone to the fucking mountain tomb.

Or to be more realistic, Lao Yao is a person who knows how to repay his kindness and believes in cause and effect, and he is also curious about what is in this mountain tomb, so he came here with Jiang Cang half-smoothly and half-resistantly.

Even if you want something from each other, you can repay the grace of salvation.

While listening to Lao Yao's story, Jiang Cang came to the corner, but he really saw a 'stone gate' blocking the entrance of the aisle.

But maybe it's because I'm close, or maybe this stone gate is just a 'general door'. ’

Jiang Cang also found that his divine sense could slowly pass through the stone gate, but it would take a lot of time.

And there is still aura overflowing inside the stone gate, which also proves that the 'material' of this stone gate is not as advanced as the first stone gate.

In this way, there is so much aura in the passage, and it is also overflowing from behind the stone gate?

Counting what Lao Yao said, this stone gate is likely to be a barrier that specifically blocks monsters, it is simply 'strong', so strong that it is difficult for the divine sense to penetrate, and it can not only block 'ghosts', but also prevent monsters, there is no other function.

Then you can use tools to 'break', and you don't need any 'key'. ’

"Is there a mechanism in this tomb?" Jiang Cang retracted his gaze, and pulled out a short knife with his backhand, ready to break the door.

"When we were in the Jade Tomb before, we didn't see much." Lao Yao kept an eye on the nearby stone gate, put the flashlight on the ground, and held the gun in one hand, "After all, this group of monsters is enough for everyone to drink a pot, I think the owner of the tomb didn't think about adding any more mechanisms, right?" ”

"There's some truth to that." Jiang Cang nodded, the short knife cut horizontally, 'gurgling', the sand and gravel slipped down, three inches into the stone door, through, the door is about ten centimeters thick, although it is a little difficult to cut, but a hundred and ten breaths of kung fu, should be able to 'draw' a passage for people to enter.

"Brother Yao.. You said the monster would come from behind us.." Xiao Zheng also put away the flashlight, held the firearm in both hands, and stood sideways, staring at Brother Jiang who broke the door, while looking behind him.

But Jiang Cang didn't have any worries about ghosts, because if he really let them get out of the cracks, would they be able to pass through the broken knife edge?

It's really hitting the knife edge, and they're not afraid to live long, so come on.

It can be passed with a few knives.

Jiang Cang pushed inward, and pushed the mountain rocks inside, but he didn't find any ghosts or monsters.

"Be careful.." Lao Yao saw that the stone gate was opened by Jiang Cang, but he became more and more nervous, "We opened the jade tomb stone door with gunpowder at that time, and it should have been too much movement to attract those monsters."

"Maybe so." Jiang Cang held the knife and walked towards the tunnel.

And after about ten meters, the surroundings in front of me were empty, and I came to a cave like a square, about thousands of square meters.

In the center of the square, there are some irregular stone tables, stone piers, and some simple clay pots scattered around, as if they are inhabited?

And Jiang Cang looked forward again, about a hundred meters or so, at the top of the cave, there are also two forks, which are artificially dug and can accommodate one or two people to pass, proving that this is really a 'party' place?

But around the walls of the cave, there are many caves that look like something 'drilled', only the size of a fist or half a person, not like man-made.

"It's the same size as those monsters." Lao Yao reflected the light and looked at those pits, some of his scalps were numb, and he was afraid that those terrifying monsters would come out.

"It's just a little thing." Jiang Cang paused his ears, and he had already heard the sound of 'squeak' and gravel, and there was something coming out of the two pits on the right.

"Let's go."

Jiang Cang walked sideways, deflected the blade, aimed at the entrance of the cave, and let Lao Yao and the others walk in front, approaching the tunnel in front first.

"Brother Jiang.." Lao Yao's expression froze, and he also heard a slight noise, understood something, and pulled Xiao Zheng, who had spoken little along the way, to go first.

But with the sound of 'rustling' getting closer and closer.

Before the three of them had walked more than 40 meters, five 'rats' covered in carapace and as if magnified several times came out of the cave the size of a human head on the right. ’

Now, they are 'squeaking', running back and forth on all fours, far faster than mice, and in a blink of an eye, they ran more than ten meters and ran towards Jiang Cang and the three of them.

"That's it." When Lao Yao saw this monster, he suddenly raised his gun and was about to fire, recalling the scene of how these cannibals ate and divided the corpses of his companions.

"As soon as the gun goes off, it's not five." Jiang Cang blocked it with his left hand, and after waiting for the monster that looked like a mouse to squeak and pounce up, he slashed horizontally with a diagonal knife, and the left side went down.

Two slashes in a row, a few 'clicks', like a knife cutting a crisp cake, the heads of these five monsters separated, and fell to the ground from mid-air.

"This thing is pretty agile. People who haven't practiced it are really hard to deal with. Jiang Cang held a short knife in his hand, and after seeing these monsters convulsing a few times, they died, and then looked up at the caves around him.

"Now, I don't know how many are in this pothole, so leave them alone for now, and walk towards the tunnel in the middle, and wait until we catch up."

Jiang Cang said, tilting his head to signal the two old Yao who were a little nervous, and continued to walk towards the tunnel, "If there are friends following us later, then they have reported a meal to the wild wolf, and they should also move and digest it." Maybe they'll help us share some of the burden. ”

"Let's go. Walk.. What Brother Jiang said is.." Lao Yao showed a somewhat ugly smile, looked at the monster corpse on the ground, and put down the firearm in his hand, as if he had let go of some in his heart.

"Brother Jiang is amazing.." Xiao Zheng praised it, followed Jiang Cang into the tunnel, and kept looking behind, afraid that the rest of the monsters in the pit in the back hall would chase after him.

Jiang Cang walked all the way, and after walking for nearly 30 meters, he came to another cave similar to the original square.

But.

The scattered rubble, the three forks in the road ahead, and the monster pits that were not on the surrounding mountain walls all proved that he had not been hit by ghosts.

It's just that there is a cloud of evil qi in the center, or a twisted humanoid ghost, when he sees the three of them walking in, it is like a strong wind, suddenly rushing towards him!

"This is the ghost..?" When Lao Yao and the others saw each other, they didn't know how to solve it with physics.

But when Jiang Cang saw the ghosts, he slashed them with a knife and scattered the wind, which was easier than solving the five monsters.

"Is this still a level?"

Jiang Cang said with a smile, regardless of the old Yao and the others' stunned eyes that they could kill people and get rid of ghosts, but instead walked a few steps forward and came to a stone wall.

Looking up, the stone wall looks as if it has been carved, with dozens of blurred drawings.

Including Lao Yao, after the two were surprised, they saw Jiang Cang walking forward, and they also trotted to follow, and they also saw this 'weird mural?' ’

For the first of them is of five 'ancient men' dressed in leaves and rags, coming to a pit the size of a truck, and there is something in the pit, depicting a rectangle, more than a man tall, as if it had fallen from the sky and smashed a hole in the ground.

In the second picture, these ancient people saw it, as if praying, and worshipped one after another.

But from the eyes of modern people, isn't it an 'extraterrestrial meteorite'?

Only in the third picture, but the 'rectangular meteorite' opened, as if melting, and drew ripples, revealing a fist-sized 'egg'. ’

In the fourth, a man was amazed, and together with his companions, he brought the egg back to the rock, but instead of eating it, he learned some kind of animal and held it in his arms, as if it was hatching something.

The fifth, there is no record of the time, but it should still be this person, who finally hatched the egg, holding a monster that looks like an 'alien' but is even more hideous than the alien, not the 'mouse' just now. ’

Because in the sixth painting, this monster resembles a human being, and can walk upright, except that it looks like a carapace on its whole body, and the twenty fingers of its hands and feet, and it looks like a sickle, it seems to be indistinguishable from a human?

However, in the next dozen murals, this monster is killing humans.

Except for the one who hatched him, this monster has to kill people every day, like nature, the instinct to kill.

But these ancient people regarded monsters as gods, and although they hated them in their hearts, they did not stop them.

In addition to eating people, this monster will also 'hatch' a 'stone' in the heart every day, so that people can absorb and strengthen the body.

Other than that, this monster doesn't eat or drink, and doesn't know how to survive.

It's just that these stones, which the monster hatched and ate by himself, were not left for these people, including the 'father' who hatched him. ’

But in the nineteenth picture, perhaps because of the growing hatred, the person who hatched the egg at the beginning wanted to kill the monster while it was asleep.

Although the monster noticed it and cut off only one of its arms, the monster seemed to be badly injured, and in the twentieth picture, it roared into the sky a few times, and hibernate like an animal.

But the blood it left behind seeped the soil and contaminated some rat-like animals, allowing them to evolve into the 'mutated carapace monsters' in the hall. ’

And when these people found out, they originally wanted to kill it, but they found that the mutated rat was very obedient? Because it took out the food it had gathered from its cave and offered it as if begging for mercy.

And when this monster saw these people let it go, it often went out of the mountains and forests to help them find prey.

See this scene.

The people of the tribe were delighted, and the monster was sealed in the cave by them, and used as a tool to obtain the 'spirit stone'. The rat monster was called the 'Guardian', and took the place of its own tribesmen for hunting.

Over time, as there are more and more guards.

The people of the tribe do not have to hunt, they also have more time to 'cultivate', and then as their strength increases, they polish the rocks, gradually extract, and smelt the clay pots, and they are moving towards the 'Neolithic Age' little by little, wanting to use these forging skills to build their own dwellings and build a building that can resist dinosaurs.

It's just that the good times don't last long,

The heavens and the earth are getting colder and colder, and many mountains and rivers are frozen, causing many creatures to gradually become extinct.

The tribesmen, in order to withstand the bitter cold, tended to the guardians to dig underground, hoping to create an underground kingdom and survive the 'Ice Age'. ’

However.

Although the kingdom was built, the earth did not warm, but it became colder and colder, and food became scarce.

Some powerful clansmen who can withstand the cold, for the sake of the tribe, brought some 'spirit stones' and some guardian eggs, walked out of the underground kingdom, stepped on the wilderness glacier, looking for a place without ice, and wanted to find a new habitat for the tribe.

And before they left, they also smelted a 'heavenly stone' with the leader to seal the road of the underground kingdom to resist the cold outside and maintain the spiritual energy.

When everything is done.

The people who are looking for a habitat take a 'part' from the stone, and if they can come back, or find a habitat, they will take the 'key', open the mountain tomb, and tell the people.

The last one is these people in the mountain tomb, hoping to use the gathering of the spirits of the 'visitors from outside the sky' to fill the entire mountain tomb with aura, and then get 'eternal life?' 'and live until the return of the outgoing people.

The jade tomb 2,000 kilometers away should be the habitat built by the outsiders.

This mountain tomb is the underground kingdom.

Maybe it was the people after the Ice Age who noticed something strange and opened a passage for the mountain, and finally couldn't open the stone gate and returned lost?

So since they can dig a mountain for tens of meters, why don't they continue to dig it?

Are you afraid that the mountain will collapse and bury them alive?

If you think like this, once the mountain falls, there is really no way.

Because people don't die, not to mention, the 100-meter-long mountain has really collapsed, and it's hard to find any entrance.

The people who can find the mountain tomb should not be some organization, or they are also people from a long time ago, and there are no high-power machines to move the mountain.

Jiang Cang thought about it, and looked around, there was not even a single dry bone or weathered bone on the ground of this cave.

Perhaps the dead have become food for their 'guardians'.

But this eternal life, they also really obtained, became a twisted 'ghost', and gasped into this world, a new era.
