Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Temple
"Hurry up!" Sun Yang's emotions suddenly became excited, and he tried his best to suppress his impulses, but he couldn't suppress them.
Huang Dou quickened his pace in front, but soon, a fork in the road appeared in front of them.
"Which way to go?"
The distance that the torches can shine at is limited, and both paths look equally deep and dangerous.
"Xiao Ling, Thunder Fire Talisman!" Sun Yang shouted.
Lu Xiaoling then threw a thunder fire talisman into each of the two holes, and the explosion of the talisman sounded several times louder than usual in such a space, and the echo kept coming back from a long distance. The lit rune paper floated in the air, illuminating the surroundings, exactly the same stalactite pillars, exactly the same steps and statues, and thick spider silk everywhere, but there was no sign that Cao Daoping had come.
Sun Yang hoped that Master Cao would hear the voice and send them a signal, but after waiting for a few minutes, there was no sound in the cave.
Is he dead?
A trace of fear suddenly spread in his heart, and he hurriedly expelled this feeling with force.
"Elder Barong?"
"I don't know." Baron shook his head. "As I said, I've never been here, this place has been inhabited by pythons for hundreds of years."
"Right side! It's better than waiting here! Lu Xiaoling said anxiously.
The group began to move towards the road on the right, and after walking for a long time, Huang Dou suddenly found something.
"Wait a minute!" He jumped into the darkness and picked up something black, a giant half-burned spider that looked like it had been dead for days.
"Fire Trick!" Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling said in unison, this is Master Cao's housekeeping skills!
"Quick!" Sun Yang ran to the front, and Lu Xiaoling grabbed Ba Long's clothes and ran forward with him.
The corpses of huge spiders began to appear on the ground, most of them were burned to death, but there were also some corpses that remained intact, Sun Yang knew that they were killed by Master Cao's homemade medicinal powder, Sun Yang's movements became faster and faster, leaving Lu Xiaoling and them far behind, and the flames on the torches also became dim.
There was a sudden rustling sound around him, and Sun Yang stopped abruptly.
He shone the torch forward, and in the darkness, something like a ball of sharp claws suddenly screamed and pounced, Sun Yang had already taken the dagger in his hand, and slashed it to the ground with a knife, the giant spider screamed and shook on the ground, and no longer had the ability to attack, but the screams of the twitter suddenly came to the sky, as if to drown him directly.
Dozens of large and small spiders pounced on him from the darkness, Sun Yang covered his face with his hand, and the dagger and torch in his hand kept waving, knocking the giant spiders that rushed towards his head, but there were still more than a dozen of them crawling onto him.
"Baron!" Lu Xiaoling shouted.
The piercing sound of insect flutes sounded, and the spiders in the darkness retreated, but those crawling on Sun Yang's body refused to let go, and quickly crawled up to his bare face.
Huang Dou and Lu Xiaoling ran over, grabbed them and threw them on the ground, a small spider tried to bite Lu Xiaoling's hand, she burned it with a torch, jumped up screaming and disappeared into the darkness.
Lu Xiaoling threw a thunder fire talisman towards the place where it fled, and the fire flashed, only to see that the stone wall in front of it was densely packed with spiders of different sizes, at least hundred! They let out a creepy scream and scattered away from the flames.
"Go back first!" Huang Dou grabbed Sun Yang and walked in the direction he came, but at this moment, Ba Long's flute suddenly changed, and the rustling sound sounded violently.
"Baron, you!" Lu Xiaoling exclaimed in surprise, but he was no longer where they were standing just now, and instead there were three giant spiders that were more than a meter tall, their chelicerae raised high, and they seemed to pounce at any moment.
"Hahahaha~" Barong's voice was quickly moving away. "You don't die quickly, and even if you are caught by them, you will live for at least ten days."
"You damn bastard!" Lu Xiaoling shouted angrily.
"There is only one way to die if you invade our holy land!"
Huang Dou's figure flashed, and the giant spider that was blocking the front flew out and slammed into the rock wall. But Barong was no longer there, and only a few wet stalactite pillars were seen.
Barong had already gone around from the side cave to the cave behind the rock wall.
"Don't die anymore." His voice spoke bitterly, but it was clearly moving away quickly. "Haha! Don't worry, I'll be here to collect your bodies! ”
Huang Dou hesitated.
"You go get him! We'll be able to hold out for a while! Lu Xiaoling said loudly.
The dagger had no effect at such a time, Sun Yang had already inserted it back, pulled out another torch on his body and lit it, and he kept waving the torch to drive those spiders away from him and Lu Xiaoling.
"Heaven and earth are natural, and filth is scattered. The gods of the eight directions, guarding my Xuan...... Disease! Lu Xiaoling shouted urgently, and a ball of fire exploded between them and the spider group, and several giant spiders that posed the greatest threat to them were blown away.
Huang Dou nodded and rushed in the direction where Ba Long's voice was far away.
"We've got to find a cramped spot!" Sun Yang shouted as he waved his torch.
Lu Xiaoling kept throwing the spell in her hand, and the giant spiders around her were constantly blown to death, and they also used the surrounding environment to observe by the firelight, looking for a place that could be used to temporarily resist.
"There's a hole over there!" Sun Yang shouted.
The two fought and retreated, fleeing that way.
Lu Xiaoling threw a thunder fire talisman into it, and there was unexpectedly nothing in it.
The two hurriedly rushed in.
The hiss chased after them, Sun Yang danced the torch at the entrance of the cave, and Lu Xiaoling also pulled out a few spells again, but to their surprise, those spiders actually stopped, and just raised their chelicera outside and hissed for a while, but they didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
"They're afraid to come in?" Lu Xiaoling said in surprise.
Sun Yang quickly took a look at the cave with the eyes of the sky, it was very empty, and there was a humanoid statue more than one person tall in the middle, and a row of hideous and terrifying monster statues on each side. It looks like the hall of a temple.
There is no ghostly spirit, and there is no evil spirit.
"Why?" Lu Xiaoling sniffed carefully, there was no strange smell in the air, and she didn't see anything weird around.
Sun Yang waved his torch at the entrance of the cave, and the giant spiders were in a commotion again, but they seemed to be controlled by something, and they didn't dare to cross the doorway.
"It's weird." Lu Xiaoling said.
This cave is also a rare place in the entire cave that does not have any spider silk or dried animal corpses, Sun Yang guarded the door, Lu Xiaoling lit a torch, and quickly checked the contents inside.
On the altar were delicate bronze vessels and decayed wooden vessels, covered with a thick layer of dust. Piles of round black objects were placed in front of those statues, and Lu Xiaoling carefully twisted them with her hands, thinking that they should be rotten straw. It should be a mat made of grass or something.
There were many rotten shelves that had fallen to the ground, and utensils of no apparent purpose were scattered all over the ground.
Lu Xiaoling cautiously approached the statue, and then she screamed in surprise.
"Sun Yang, come and take a look!"
Two dried corpses collapsed in front of the statue in the center, one of them with a dagger on his chest that had been almost completely corroded.
