Sure enough, more than an hour later, a large number of black wind ants appeared, and the number of ants that continued to increase automatically climbed into the bronze winch, and the ground began to change from a black line to a black road, and then finally covered and submerged in patches, becoming a black wave rushing forward.

When the black wind ants that had formed a small frenzy gathered again, and the pungent fishy smell formed was already very obvious, those shrews began to appear one after another, and their numbers gradually increased, and they spread over with great overwhelming momentum.

When the shrew arrived, in addition to destroying the ants that had not yet entered the bronze winch, it also rushed into the bronze winch like crazy to prey on the black wind ants.

But once there are more shrews inside, it breaks the balance of the arrangement of the criss-crossing spiral chamfers, causing all the spiral crippled teeth in the cave to rotate, and in the abnormal sound of "clacking", the black wind ants and shrews continue to drill into the bronze winch, and all the shrews that go in front of them are hanged, and the bloody gas makes the later shrews more crazy, so the cycle repeats, the bronze winch rotates faster and faster, and gets louder and louder, just like an engine that has been turned on, entering a state of high-speed operation.

With the swarming of more and more black wind mosquitoes, like the black tide, those shrews in the vicinity are also pouring out of the nest, the bronze winch is already a dense layer, fluffy surge, the surface of the "blanket" formed by the black wind ants and brown shrews, began to gush outward blood, surging, like a spring, everyone was so frightened that they lay on the tree and did not dare to move, looking at the terrifying scene in front of them.

Immediately afterward, bright red blood began to flow outward from the sharp beak hole of the eagle's beak cliff, flowing into the deadwood trough, and flowing down the deadwood trough into the neck hole of the snake-bodied witch's neck, and into the body.

According to the huge insect mural at the bottom of the cliff, such as the sacrifice ceremony of the ancient witch tribe, a mighty bloody journey is being staged here, completing the sacrifice of the snake witch.

"It's done!"

"It really worked!"

Everyone cheered, but for fear of alarming these demons who could gnaw even mutant monsters to the bone, they only dared to lower their voices and cheer.

"Quick, get out of here!" Bai Yunfei also lowered his voice and greeted everyone.

"Where are you going?"

"The blood has gone into the witch's stomach, let's go down and see where it went, if there are other mechanisms, it should also be opened." Bai Yunfei explained.

So they climbed down from the trees in fear, and the rainforest was now full of ants and shrews, but it was slightly better than the clearing and grass outside, where there was now a sea of black and brown.

With the delicacy of the Black Wind Ants in front, the swarms of shrews were too lazy to take care of these nasty humans, and they didn't care about them at all, which made everyone breathe a long sigh of relief, and everyone dodged the "tide" under their feet, and went directly through the rainforest where Li Yulan had relieved them, and climbed down the steep slope again.

To everyone's disappointment, apart from the river beach and the rock walls, there were also some ants and shrews crawling and jumping, and no unusual changes were found.

"This ......"

Everyone looked at each other, could it be that all this was in vain?

"This fucking mile, go to the kiln and don't make the silver - play in vain!" Old Ghost Su scolded angrily.

Everyone didn't know what to say, but they heard Bai Yunfei retort firmly: "It's impossible, the ancient people were not stupid, they spent so much time, they wouldn't toss around meaninglessly." ”

"Hey, I thought I could shout 'Open Sesame' like "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves", and a secret passage appeared on this cliff. It seems that sweet dreams only exist in fairy tales. Han Debang said sourly.

"No, there's a door here, but we don't know how to get in yet." Bai Yunfei refuted Han Debang's words again.

"Oh? Where is the door? Cao Longxuan hurriedly asked.

Bai Yunfei pointed to the huge snake body witch statue: "She is." ”

Everyone was still confused, and Bai Yunfei continued:

"Everyone has already seen that her tail is drilled out of the mountain, where does so much blood flow down her body? It must have entered the mountain as well. The other possibility is to continue downward, into the ground beneath her. But this possibility is not very likely, after all, there is a riverbed below, even if there are many skilled craftsmen in ancient times, it will be very difficult to build a secret passage under the riverbed, and it will be difficult to solve the waterproof problem first. So, I concluded that the mechanism was in the mountain, but I didn't know why so much blood had flowed into it, and why the mechanism hadn't been activated yet. ”

As he spoke, there was a dull loud noise, no doubt coming from within the mountain.

The crowd was overjoyed and waited for something to change.

But after a long wait, and a long wait, and finally a full hour, after that loud noise, nothing changed.

In the end, even Bai Yunfei lost his patience when he waited, during this time, he kept looking up, on the top of the cliff about ten stories high, the blood flowing from the eagle's beak of the eagle's beak cliff was still flowing into the neck of the statue, and the loud noise must have activated some kind of mechanism, otherwise there would not be that kind of sound, but everything that had not changed in front of him, even he who had a mysterious computer in his head, was confused.

"Otherwise, my old cow will directly smash this snake's tail with a hammer, and let's take a look at what virtue is inside." Niu Gang couldn't hold back again.

"Never!" Bai Yunfei hurriedly stopped: "In that case, this blood will leak out, and we will waste all our efforts." I just came up with a solution......"

Yun Fei said quickly. Cao Longxuan was a little anxious.

"Let's ......" Bai Yunfei thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "We need to go home." ”

"Huh? Are you saying you're going back the way you came? Wang Ziming immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes."

"Then we've been tossing around here for so long, aren't we busy in vain?" Lu Wuyang asked.

"That's certainly not what you think, what we're doing here,

I believe that it is very useful. It's just that now, we can't easily destroy the passage inside this statue, and we can't do it under our current conditions, and it's impossible to get close. So, we had nowhere to go, but we overlooked one thing, and that was that there had been an earthquake here for more than a thousand years. ”

Bai Yunfei reminded everyone.

"You mean, we're going to drill back through that seismic rift?" Li Yulan frowned and asked.

"Yes." Bai Yunfei explained: "Before we drilled out of this inclined seismic fissure slope, you should remember that it was not a single fissure, in front of this inclined seismic fissure, there was a criss-crossing cress convergence, at that time, because we used torches to shine on, found that there was light shining in this side, because we felt that we had found a way out, so we did not explore along other seismic fissures at all." ”

At this time, the twilight was falling, and the eight people who had been tossing for a day were hungry and exhausted again, but they were still concentrating on exploring, tenaciously embodying the strength and persistence of the "Eight Immortals" expedition.

Bai Yunfei glanced at the huge stone wall crawling with snails and slugs, about to enter the night, the sky was dim, making the picture on the stone wall seem even more strange and evil, and saw that the blood was still flowing along the trench to the statue's stomach, and there were blood foam splashing out from time to time, all this was like a dream, although he guessed the final answer, but he was about to start a new journey.

"I have a hunch that when we go back to the seismic crack again, and follow the crack in the direction of the statue, we should encounter something that we are looking forward to, or something new." Bai Yunfei said.

Bai Yunfei's words made Cao Longxuan very excited, and he strongly supported Bai Yunfei's idea, and everyone no longer had any doubts, and began to follow the captain and the boss back to the steep slope and climb towards the exit of the earthquake crack.

"Brother Bai, I think what you said is nonsense, we haven't walked through other cracks, we can't talk about new discoveries at all, any discovery is normal, you don't take the credit on you just because you cracked the secret of this stone wall and drank blood for this snake witch." Han Debang climbed up the steep slope and counted the white clouds flying.

Bai Yunfei smiled "hehe", but he was thinking in his heart, he heard a dull loud noise from the mountain, it should be the sound of activating the mechanism, but why didn't the mechanism be activated?

Everyone drilled back to the exit of the earthquake crack, crawled back along the inclined earthquake crack, and slid downward, much faster than climbing up in a narrow space, and after a while, they slipped to the intersection of the earthquake crack, Bai Yunfei used the compass on his watch to determine the direction, and then chose a crack in the direction roughly the same as the direction of the crack they climbed down, and climbed forward.

It didn't take long to climb and see that the front of the torch light suddenly became wider, and it seemed that it was a place similar to a stone chamber that was artificially hewn.

Su Lao Ghost observed for a long time and said that this is a common anti-tomb robbery method in ancient tombs, called "Death Bell", which means that as long as a tomb robber enters the tomb and touches the mechanism, it is like ringing the death knell, giving the tomb robbers a fatal blow.

The thick stone apparatus that made up the "Mourning Bell" in this secret room was staggered, and it seemed that it had been damaged by an external force, resulting in the failure to function normally.

You don't have to guess, seeing the earthquake cracks behind you, you can also guess that it was for a long time that natural disasters such as earthquakes destroyed the balance of power transmission here, resulting in the inability to operate normally.

Next to the swaying stone instruments was a groove, and blood was flowing forward along the groove.

"I see, the loud bang just now was caused by these stone instruments hitting each other. Originally, this huge hammer-like object was supposed to open the mechanism and crash into the stone wall with the mural made of insects, and it opened the 'door' for people, but due to the earthquake, the internal linkage structure was destroyed, so after it was started just now, although it caused a loud noise, it did not start normally as envisaged in the design. Bai Yunfei said.

"Is it the mechanism opened by these blood? How does it work? Wang Ziming asked.

"It's very simple, the blood accumulates in the snake statue to a certain extent, and the weight will press the mechanism hub below, causing things like 'circlip' to be triggered, and then the circlip of the huge 'hammer head' that has been stuck is withdrawn, and the 'hammer head' is like a bell in a temple, hitting the stone wall, and the cave wall is broken, forming a living door." Bai Yunfei replied.
