Bypassing the wolf corpses everywhere, the seven people stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while, and after not finding anything abnormal, they walked in side by side. The terrible howl of the beast continued, and with the increasingly gloomy atmosphere inside the cave, even the fifth hearing cloud could hear the sadness in the howl.

Tan Lei and them, as an extracurricular research group, refused to let go of the great opportunity of the empty wolf cave at this time, which is understandable, after all, the extracurricular research project is completed with rich prizes and a lot of bonuses. But there was no need for the Fifth Tingyun to intervene at all, and although the wolves poured out, who could guarantee that there would be no other danger in the cave?

The fat man asked him why, but he couldn't say it clearly. In the end, he had to prevaricate the fat man with "curiosity about the reason for the jackal's mutation", but he didn't think of it himself.

"Fifth brother—fifth brother—" The group had just entered the cave less than ten zhang when a call suddenly came from outside the cave.

As soon as he heard this voice, the fifth Tingyun knew who was coming, and after a little explanation with Tan Lei, he turned around and ran to the entrance of the cave: "Why are you here?"

Dai Qinglian held an umbrella and carefully avoided the wolf corpse: "Didn't the fifth brother say that he would bring Lian'er with him?"

"Look here," pointed to the wolf corpses and blood all over the place, and the fifth Tingyun frightened, "aren't you afraid?"

"What's so much to be afraid of when you die?" Dai Qinglian innocently winked at the fifth Tingyun.

"How did you find here?"

"Lian'er followed Teacher He and them. ”

This Nizi obviously looked weak, and she couldn't even be in the Nayuan Realm, but she was able to follow He Yueming's trail to chase here. The fifth Tingyun looked at Dai Qinglian suspiciously, but her pure smile really made the Fifth Tingyun unable to raise more doubts.

"I don't know who was so scared last night that he hid behind a tree and didn't dare to come out. The fifth Tingyun muttered quietly, and he was not afraid of being heard by Dai Qinglian, and when Dai Qinglian approached, he told again, "Go in and follow us, there may be something else inside." ”

Dai Qinglian smiled gently, bowed her head slightly, went to the cave, put away the purple and black umbrella, and said, "Fifth brother, don't worry, Lian'er is much more courageous than last night." ”

"Really?" glanced enviously at the Sumeru bracelet on Dai Qinglian's hand, and the fifth Tingyun led her inside.

"Really. The cave echoed with Dai Qinglian's confident voice like a silver bell.

After meeting with Tan Lei's six people, the fifth Tingyun made a brief introduction, and then the eight people continued to walk inside.

After walking for another twenty zhang or so, the air became colder, and Chen Ya and Sun Huaqiong actually sneezed. The light also became extremely dim, and only a faint shadow could be seen in front of me, which seemed to have a road, and seemed to have reached the end. Moreover, the air inside became humid and sticky, and the fishy smell that could be felt outside the cave was even stronger.

"I can't see the front, do you still want to move forward?" Xiang Biying's voice sounded.

"Do you smell anything?" asked Sun Huaqiong.

"Why is the sound of the horse gone?" Chen Ya also asked.

There was silence.

In this case, the sudden silence is especially terrifying. The eight of them all listened to the breathing of the people next to them, and they all wanted to say something to break the silence, but none of them wanted to speak first.

"I ...... I can light the lamp......" In the end, Dai Qinglian said boldly. Then I heard Dai Qinglian rummaging for a while, and the fifth Tingyun could almost think of the way this Nizi rubbed the Sumeru bracelet and took out one thing after another.

"Found it. This Yuan Ming Lantern needs to be injected with Yuan Force to light up, hey, which of you will hold it?"

Tan Lei took the lamp and asked, "How to use it?"

"It should be able to hold it and run the Yuan Force, Lian'er hasn't used it either. ”

After waiting quietly in the dark for a while, the lamppost in Tan Lei's hand slowly lit up, and he groped for a while before he really mastered the usage. As his mind moved, the Yuan Ming lantern suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the cave as bright as day.

"That's how it works, it's pretty advanced. Tan Lei held the Yuan Ming lantern and said with a smile.

Except for Dai Qinglian, everyone else stepped forward, looked left and right, and then shook their heads one after another, indicating that they had never seen such a lamp. The Yanhua Empire still uses traditional lighting methods, such as torches and candles, and lamps like this with Yuan Force as energy are new technological products, and it is normal that they have not seen them.

"Let's go, I feel that the bonus is not far from me~" The fat man waved his hand forward, his fighting spirit was high, completely forgetting that he was still wrapped in bandages of different sizes and lengths.

The crowd marched forward again.

Now with the Yuan Ming lantern, the situation in the cave can be described as unobstructed. Only then did they discover that the cave was more than two zhang wide and about three zhang high, which was very spacious. And more importantly, along the way, the stone walls of the cave are full of small holes of different sizes, densely packed, making people's scalp hairy.

Those small holes are also extremely deep, and the Yuan Ming lamp can't see the bottom when it shines past, and I don't know what the depths of those small holes will be.

"Look! there's blood!"

Fifth, listening to the clouds more carefully, he first saw the crimson color on the ground.

Tan Lei squatted down, twisted a grain of wet soil with his two fingers, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and said, "It's blood, it's not dry yet." ”

"More on the front. "The Tang Dynasty was at the forefront, looking farther, and then noticing the ground, only to find that the ground further ahead was almost soaked red. If it's blood, then how much animal blood should it get?

"Let's go. Tan Lei carried the Yuanming lantern and hurried inside.

The remaining seven followed, and everyone felt that the reason for their painstaking visit might be ahead.

After turning two corners, a small pool of water blocked the way. Tan Lei raised the Yuan Ming lantern in his hand, looked around, and said, "There is no road ahead." ”

"Whew~" A horse neighed.

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see that there was a stone platform in the middle of the waterhole, and a white horse on the stone platform exhaled and looked directly at the eight people who broke in. Strictly speaking, this horse is no longer a white horse, because its legs are all crimson, and if it were not for some snow-white hair on its back, it would not be possible to tell whether it was a red horse or a white horse.

"It's shackled here, is there still anyone living here?" The fat man's eyes were sharp, and he saw at once that all four legs of the white horse were shackled, and the shackles were connected to four iron cables with thick bowl mouths, and the iron cables were divided into four sides and deeply embedded in the stone wall of the cave roof.

And the shackles were not ordinary shackles, they were covered with spikes. In other words, as long as the white horse moves slightly, it will cut the horse's leg and release the horse's blood. The horse's blood passed through the stone platform and all flowed into the waterhole.

This pool of water is a pool of blood!

It turns out that the source of the fishy smell in the air has always been here.

"Who is so cruel?" shackled horses, bloodletting, these can never be done by jackals, Sun Huaqiong's family has raised horses for generations, and she has had a special affection for horses since she was a child, "We have to let it go." ”

Roar!

Suddenly, a shadow burst out of the water from the pool of blood, and a wolf roar resounded through the cave.

Several people hurriedly retreated.

But as soon as he took a few steps back, there were also two wolf howls behind him. They turned their heads to see two jackals emerging from the two small holes in the walls near the ground, their eyes were scarlet, their backs arched, and they were more ferocious than the ones they had encountered before.

The small holes in the stone walls are actually the nests of the jackals!

"What's the matter?" the three wolves attacked, one in front and two behind, it seems that a big war is inevitable. Tang Chao's wrist flipped, and the weapon was already in his hand.

"What else can you do? This group of wolf cubs still has soldiers and generals guarding the old nest, and their intelligence is not low......" Huang He shook his shoulders, tried his injured hand, and found that he could still move. It's just that the pain is unavoidable, and he gritted his teeth and faced the three wolves.
