We saw a clearing in front of us on the right that was full of dead people, and directly above it was the bones of a huge ancient creature, as if they had been eaten by this ancient creature.

When we looked closer, the dead men were dressed in different ways, with different degrees of decay, and were clearly from different eras. From the corpse, it can be seen that there are obvious wounds, as if they were caused by some kind of sharp blade, and they also appear to have been caused by some kind of animal bite.

I picked up a waist card with "Tiance Fu" written on it, which turned out to be the Datang Tiance Army. The glasses picked up an object that looked like an animal's claws, crystal clear, inlaid with gold wires, and engraved with the two seal characters of "touch gold", and even "touch the gold captain". The more we looked at it, the more frightened we became, it seemed that there had been at least five or six groups of people here, each of whom was not an idle person, but they all died here, what is going on? What is there here that attracts them?

"Brother Long, come on!" Xiao Fan beckoned to us. We hurriedly ran over, only to see six people lying on the ground here, looking at the clothes should be undoubtedly from the Kaoko team. Now all six are dead, covered in scars, presumably attacked by some ferocious beast.

Xiao Fan found a work log at the foot of one of the corpses and quickly flipped through it. I came up and asked her if she had found anything, and Xiaofan pointed to one of the pages to show me, which read:

"Today we finally got out of this strange labyrinth, thanks to Xiaolin accidentally found a fork in the road, although it took nearly two more days, but finally came out. This is like a cemetery of ancient creatures, and Ah Zhi said that these are ancient sea creatures, which also proves the saying that the Qinling Mountains were once the ocean. We found out that a lot of people had been here, but they were all dead, and something terrible must have happened. We decided to rest for the night and explore the next day, and somehow I always felt like there were many pairs of eyes staring at us in the dark, hoping it was my hallucination. ”

That's the end of the log, and there is no more to follow, and it is estimated that the person who wrote the log did not live to the next day. "Brother Long, do you say it's true that he wrote?" Xiao Fan asked with some concern. I smiled wryly, "We'll know right away, you look around." "Just as we were looking at the log, hundreds of green eyes popped up in all directions, slowly approaching us.

The glasses lit a burning stick and threw it into the distance, and as far as the eye could see, several small leopard-like creatures were quickly dodging. "Black Tiger." Beichen said in a deep voice. The black tiger is the clouded leopard, which is a rare animal endemic to the Qinling Mountains, but I didn't think there were so many here.

The clouded leopard's teeth are distinctive, the length ratio of canine teeth ranks first among cats, and there are two distinct blood grooves on the tongue and labial surface, similar to the prehistoric extinct saber-toothed tiger, known as the "little saber-toothed tiger". Now we understand how these people in front of us died, under the siege of so many clouded leopards, even if they have the ability to reach the sky, they will not escape.

Beichen turned his head violently and shouted, "Sneaky, come out!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" There was a strange laugh in the darkness, and on the skull of a huge ancient creature, stood a thin old man with a medicine basket on his back, "With the blood of a few of you, I can lure out the monsters in this cave, and then I can get the treasure!" ”

"You're the one who didn't die. All of this is a game you have done, deliberately attracting people here, in order to achieve some ulterior motives of your own. "I've come to my senses, and I'm a little angry.

The herb picker said proudly: "Yes, you are dying anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." He pointed sideways to his back, "There is also a hole behind this, and there are two beads in the hole, one black and one white, called Yin and Yang Beads." As long as you get it, grind it into powder and swallow it, and you can live for thousands of years. The bones you saw, they all came for this bead, but unfortunately they all failed, and they all died under the claws of the monster. ”

After listening to the words of the herb picker, we finally understood that the death of these people was caused by that monster, not the clouded leopard, so these clouded leopards were raised by him. "Hey, you raised these kittens? Quite capable! "I deliberately tricked him.

"Yes, I've been waiting for this opportunity for thirty years, and the clouded leopard's attack on you will lead to that monster, so I can take the opportunity to go in and get the treasure. Originally, the six people last time were okay, but I don't know why the monster didn't come out. I don't think I can do it this time, so it's my fault that you're not lucky. With that, he took out a bone-like object, put it to his mouth, and blew it.

We couldn't hear anything at all, but the clouded leopard was starting to get very irritable, grinning at us. "It's the sound of the beast." Beichen said in a deep voice, "Back to back, slowly retreat towards the entrance of the cave." ”

The herb pickers seemed to see our intentions, and all but the clouded leopards that surrounded us were blocked at the entrance to the cave. The clouded leopards began to attack, and these leopards were only about a meter long, and their bodies were extremely flexible, with their large mouths wide open, and they pounced on us alternately. We each took out our weapons to resist, but fortunately, everyone was experienced in a hundred battles, gathered together, leaned on each other, and every time the cold light flashed, the clouded leopard was damaged.

But there are too many leopards, constantly pounced, and the blood stimulated their wildness, and under the continuous fighting, except for Beichen, everyone else was a little panting, and the glasses were scratched on the shoulders, and the four shocking scars flowed blood.

"It can't go on like this. Yi Nan, if you hold on here a little longer, can you rush over and kill that old man? I said. Beichen let out a "hmm" and was about to jump up to make his move, when a roar resounded through the cave, and all the clouded leopards seemed to be frightened, desperately retreating to the side of the herb picker, as if the nemesis had arrived.

We were also taken aback by the earth-shattering roar, and I whispered, "Damn, what is this thing coming out!" "In the distance, there was a cyan whirlwind blowing from the cave, crashing directly into the place where the herb picker was." With a loud bang, the skull of the extremely hard ancient creature was cracked into several pieces, and the herb picker flew out more than ten meters and fell heavily to the ground.

The clouded leopard lost control and immediately scattered. The cyan whirlwind swept around, and everywhere it passed, the clouded leopards scattered and screamed, and within a moment, they were all killed and wounded, and finally this whirlwind stopped in front of the herb picker, slowly revealing its true face.

I saw that it was about five meters long, about three meters high, similar to a dragon and with a single horn, with green scales, an oxtail, and the most peculiar thing was its eyes, which were really black and white. The herb picker pointed at the monster and exclaimed, "No, it can't be, Qi, Qi ......", kicked his legs, and there was no life.

Having dealt with the herb picker, the monster began to walk towards us, and we were on full alert and slowly retreated. I asked Beichen softly, "What is this?" It looks a bit like a legendary unicorn, so it can't really be, right? ”

Beichen glanced at it a few times, "It should be." But no, I can't feel it. "I'm a little blindside," you wouldn't say it was dead, would you? ”

Beichen jumped up, "Don't move, I'll try." With that, he stabbed the monster with a sword. The monster was tossing just now, and it was estimated that it was about to find the next target for attack, when it saw someone attacking it, it roared and fought with Beichen.

Now we understand that the monster moves too fast, coming and going like the wind, and it seems to us that it has turned into a cyan whirlwind. We have all seen Beichen's methods, except for that fight, no matter how powerful the monster is, it is difficult to please him under his sword. There was a sound of "clanging bells" metal colliding, and Beichen and the monster retreated a few meters at the same time and stood still.

The monster shook its head and looked at Beichen, who stood opposite it with a sword in one hand. I asked in a whisper, "Yi Nan, are you okay?" "I didn't expect the monster to roll its eyes and pounce directly on me. I was startled, and instinctively dodged to the right, but unfortunately the monster was too fast, and I heard a "stab" sound, and the clothes on my chest were torn, and the "Ying Long Demon Avoidance Mirror" fell out.

The monster looked down at the mirror on the ground and slowly approached me. Xiao Fan and the glasses were about to tell me to be careful, but Beichen waved them not to speak. The monster approached me, rubbed its head against me, raised its front paw and pointed at the "Ying Long Demon Avoidance Mirror", and turned to walk towards the cave it came from. I was stunned for a moment, what do you mean? Let me go with you?

The monster walked a distance, turned its head and yelled at me, and I finally understood in my heart, picked up the mirror, and beckoned everyone to follow first. Beichen returned his sword to the sheath, and we followed the monster into this cave at the end.

Compared to the outside, this hole is slightly smaller, but it is also more than 300 square meters. The cave is brightly lit, with a high square platform in the middle, and a turquoise stone floating above it, shining brightly. The monster nudged me and pointed to a groove in the front of the table.

I got closer and compared it, and found that it was very consistent with the "Ying Long Demon Avoidance Mirror". I looked at Beichen, he nodded affirmatively, I slowly put the mirror into the groove, and there was a sound similar to the rotation of gears from inside the high platform, and the originally floating turquoise stone fell down and shattered into several pieces.

The monster roared, and two eyeballs, one black and one white, flew out of their sockets and slowly fell onto my hand, shrinking into two jade beads, one black and one white. The monster that had lost its black and white beads seemed to have lost its life, and fell to the ground with a "bang", and soon began to decay, and amazingly, there was something like a cog inside its body.

I pointed at the monster and stammered, "This, this, machine, mechanism?" ”

Beichen replied: "It's the Qilin." The black and white fisheye is the key to starting, and the greenstone is its driving force. ”

The three of us opened our mouths in amazement, what kind of person could create such an exquisite mechanism, and it seemed that this thing had existed for at least a thousand years, could it be that the ancients could really be spiritual?

We were still in shock, the whole cave began to shake, the rubble kept falling, we hurried out, only to hear a "boom", the entrance to the cave was sealed, and we were trapped inside.
