Looking at the mountain of white bones in front of him, Wu Zhiyuan's heart felt cold, he had seen a lot of dead bodies and bones, but it was the first time he had seen such a number of dead people's bones. What is this place? How can there be so many dead people? Wu Zhiyuan looked around and found that he seemed to be in a wide pit, the reason why he said it was a pit was because he saw that there was a wall next to him, and there were traces of artificial excavation on the wall, but there was no deliberate carving, which looked very rough.

"Is this pit specifically for burying the dead?" Wu Zhiyuan stabilized his mind, cautiously moved his steps to the wall, held the torch high and began to look carefully.

The pit is roughly oval-shaped, and he is at one end of the oval, with a wall to his right and a large pile of bones on his left. Looking up, you can see the top of the hole, from the foot to the top of about five people high, at this time has been turned over the stone slab firmly covered, the stone slab and the wall of the cave are tightly integrated, it is impossible to imagine that I just fell from it.

With so many dead people's bones piled up in such a large pit, is this a mass grave? After thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan felt that this was unreasonable, although the mass grave was a place where the ownerless dead bodies were discarded, but this place was obviously a large pit dug by man, and judging from the gossip clearing at the top and the mechanism of the bronze swallow, it could be regarded as an ingenious design, could it be that this is an ancient tomb?

Wu Zhiyuan knew very little about the ancient tomb, only occasionally heard from the people in the village when they chatted, the ancient people, especially the princes and nobles, would slaughter or bury alive their former slaves and guards or a large number of livestock to accompany the burial when they were buried after death, but there are thousands of bones in the cave in front of him, who would have such a prominent position to slaughter so many living people for burial? Could it be that the owner of the tomb or the emperor is not successful?

Such a large number of bones in front of you is indeed terrifying at first glance, but after a long time, I also understand that these are just the bones of a dead man, and the fear in my heart is not so strong. Wu Zhiyuan stood against the wall for a long time, and only then did his thoughts begin to organize, thinking that the most important thing now was to find an exit and leave this place of death.

He held the torch tightly in his left hand, and when he raised his right hand, he found that he was still holding a thing in his hand, and when he looked closely, it was actually the bronze swallow that was taken out of the groove in the wall in the gossip clearing above, but he didn't expect it to fall down on it in a hurry just now, and he grabbed this thing like a life-saving straw, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but let out a wry smile, thinking that he could only blame himself for being curious, otherwise he would not have fallen into this step of the field, thinking, he reached out and was about to throw away the bronze swallow, at this moment, Suddenly there were two strange "clicks" at the other end of the pothole.

"Click-click-" The sound was not very loud, only twice, but the silence in this pit was abnormal, and Wu Zhiyuan heard it very clearly. He was startled, and the hairs on his body stood on end, and the sound sounded as if someone was chopping bones on the ground with an axe.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't dare to make a sound, so he tilted his ears and listened carefully, but after the voice rang twice, there was no movement. He was puzzled, convinced that he had not been hallucinating, so he took the torch and went to find out, and if he wanted to find the exit, he would inevitably have to walk to the other end of the pit.

Gently saw the crack on the pile of bones, but after the soles of the feet were stepped on, there would still be a "click" sound when the bones were stepped on, Wu Zhiyuan was shocked when he heard the sound, and thought to himself, could it be that the sound just now also came out like this? Could it be that there is something on the other side of the pit that wants to come over?

Wu Zhiyuan's mind first thought of the Ma Hu, this monster can be described as a ghost, from the underground undercurrent all the way to here, and it seems that it is not one or two, if there is also a Ma Hu in this pit now, it will be dangerous.

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the torch in his left hand and the bronze swallow in his right hand, the peachwood sword had been forgotten on the ground, and now there were only these two things at hand that could be used for self-defense. Emboldened himself, Wu Zhiyuan cautiously moved to the other end, his eyes staring at the scene in front of him.

Ma Hu has black hair all over his body, his body is huge, his head is as big as a bucket, his peculiar form and body color are diametrically opposite to the white bones in the hole, which should be seen at a glance, but the light of the torch is always weak, so the range of vision will still be limited, Wu Zhiyuan observed very carefully, and raised the bronze swallow in his right hand while walking, the swallow is flying high, and the tip of the wing is also sharp, if it hits Ma Hu's face unexpectedly, it will be able to smash it half to death.

However, Wu Zhiyuan walked all the way to the other end of the pit and did not find the shadow of Ma Hu, and there was nothing suspicious in this pit at all.

Where did that sound come from? Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, and at this moment, the strange "click" sound sounded again, and the sound was very close, just behind him. Wu Zhiyuan turned his head sharply along the source of the sound, and at the same time the torch shone against the wall behind him, and he couldn't help but be surprised!

I saw that there seemed to be a monster in the gap next to the wall, with his hair scattered, lying on the ground, his face was covered by the hair that was scattered, and only one eye was exposed, staring at Wu Zhiyuan between the gaps in the hair!

Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but scream, retreated a foot, and secretly said in his heart, what the hell is this?

At this moment, a dying cough came out from the wall, although faint but clear, Wu Zhiyuan was not only shocked, but also sure that the person lying on the wall was not a monster, but a person, and listening to that voice, it was still a woman!

In this kind of place full of corpses and bones, there is the breath of death everywhere, and this pit is well sealed, how can there be a woman here? Could it be that she also fell from this?

Wu Zhiyuan clenched the bronze swallow in his hand, only felt that his palms were full of sweat, and calmed down for a moment, he slowly stepped forward, and saw the woman lying on the ground with her face covered motionless, convinced that there would not be much threat to him, he walked closer, bent down and shone the torch at the woman's face.

The woman's hair was disheveled, and the roots of her ears and the back of her neck were covered with dirt, and it was evident that she had suffered a lot, and her clothes were in tatters, and she could not see the color or fabric, and her figure was slender, which made people feel pity at once.

Wu Zhiyuan was kind-hearted, he couldn't see such a cruel scene, so he wanted to rescue the woman, and was about to ask "Who are you", when he suddenly saw a black thing around the woman's neck, which was covered by scattered hair, and he couldn't see it clearly for a while, Wu Zhiyuan approached the torch, and when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but be surprised!

The woman's neck was actually covered with the same steel ring that she had seen in the cave of the mountain temple before!
