We dived into the waterhole, the waterway inside is as Tian Ji said, there are obvious traces of man-made excavation on the stone wall, swim through the dark waterway, the top of the head gradually has some light, we follow the field chicken to swim towards the place where there is light, poke out of the head when the breath is just used up, take a deep breath on the water surface, wipe the water on the face, and are instantly stunned by the scene in front of us.

The waterhole and the inside of Yinzhu Mountain are actually parallel, and the middle is connected by a waterway, and the waterway layer is U-shaped, so the water in the waterhole will not overflow and dry up all year round, and it is excellent to cover the entrance, so it can be said that the design is seamless.

The field chicken pulled us up from the water, and there was a lighted fire path in Ginjo Mountain, which had already been lit by the time we arrived, and the entire ruins built in Ginjo Mountain were brightly lit.

This ruins from the width of the road under our feet, you can see that the scale is not small, the whole ruins are distributed in a rectangle, a stone road directly leads to the main hall, both sides of the passage are solemn and solemn stone figurines, look at the carving process of the stone figurines should be the Yin Shang period, although it has been standing here for thousands of years, it is still well preserved and lifelike, the expression is majestic and vivid, standing next to the stone figurines has a kind of illusion of returning to ancient times.

Gong Jue walked to the side of the fire trough and lowered his head and sniffed: "It's fish oil, it seems that Ling Xuan has already entered." ”

"Chaoge, very few ancient tombs from the Yin Shang period have been unearthed, and there are few records of the structure and layout, but I have never seen ancient tombs with this pattern." Ye Zhiqiu pulled the corner of my clothes and asked. "You and my dad have seen more ancient tombs than me, what kind of mausoleum does this belong to?"

"I haven't seen it either." I shook my head and replied.

In fact, this is not a mausoleum at all, judging from the layout, this ruin is more like a palace, the ancestors of the Peng family are not buried here, they should just sleep like Ling Xuan, waiting to be awakened by the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace.

"Come and see!" The field chicken was alert in front.

When we walked over, we saw the broken bones on the side of the road, Xue Xinrou squatted on the ground and picked up a wreckage, and was very surprised and said: "There is a hot spring in Yinzhu Mountain, which means that there is geothermal heat here, and the time for the bones to be preserved in such a temperature is very short, and the time from the wreckage is not long." ”

I half-crouched on the ground, took my hand and looked at it carefully: "These bones are no more than fifty years old. ”

"It's strange, that is, there are people who have been here besides us!" The palace lord was taken aback.

"There's one ahead." Tian Ji said, holding the lamp.

The further we went, the more bones we saw, and they were all torn apart, as if they had been brutally attacked.

"Could it be that some tomb robber stumbled upon this place?" Ye Zhiqiu turned around and asked me. "Maybe it's because of the conflict that led these people to kill each other here."

"The cross-section of the bones is not neat, it doesn't look like it was cut with a sharp blade." I looked around with a solemn expression. "If a tomb robber had been here, there would be no rumors in the industry."

"And guns and knives here!" Xue Xinrou summoned us in the corner of the road.

"This is the gun used by the hunters in the mountains, is it difficult to ......," Tian Ji said, looking back and forth at the corpses on the road. Brother Orion, who brought us here, said that although Yinzhu Mountain is a forbidden place in the local sacred mountain, there are still many mountain people who want to find out, but all the people who come here have gone and never returned, so they all died here. ”

"Since they weren't killing each other, what were they killed by?" I frowned and looked around alertly.

There are stone figurines on both sides of the road, I asked the field chicken to check, it is just an ordinary decoration, there is nothing special, although the road is spacious, but it is very bright under the light of the fire trough, everything here we can see clearly.

Tian Ji still took the gun he was carrying in his hand and beckoned us to follow, and did not go far, and there were dense vines hanging low above the road, which were scattered around the road.

"It's strange, the outside of Yinzhu Mountain is covered with ice and snow all year round, and not a single tree can be seen, why are there so many vines growing inside the mountain?" Tian Ji picked up a tree vine with a gun and said while watching.

"There is geothermal heat in Silverpillar Mountain, which is very different from the climate outside, and it is not surprising that there are shade-loving plants growing in it." Xue Xinrou explained.

"You know a lot, who is going to tell me what kind of vine this is?" Tian Ji is still very curious.

The vines in Tian Ji's hands were extremely rough, the surface was uneven, but they were quite soft, about the thickness of an arm, and Ye Zhiqiu and the others didn't know what it was after looking at it for a long time.

Ye Zhiqiu raised the lamp and looked up at the vines in Tian Ji's hand, these vines seemed to grow on the top of the mountain wall, suddenly, Ye Zhiqiu screamed in horror, her hand trembled and raised, and in the direction of her finger, we saw several skulls hanging on the vines on the top of the cave wall.

"How did the remains of these dead men end up on it?" I frowned, puzzled.

"It looks evil here, so let's hurry forward." Tian Ji let go of the tree vine in his hand and said with palpitations.

"Be careful......" Before I could speak, I suddenly found that the vine that had just been loosened by the field chicken shook slightly, and I was suddenly shocked, and I looked up at the top of the cave again, and subconsciously touched the knife with my hand.

Then he held the torch and cautiously approached the vines beside him, and when the flames burned the vines, the low-hanging vines curled back.

"Don't go near the vines!" I shouted a warning, or maybe it wasn't a vine at all, as if I had guessed correctly, and the mountain people who had broken into this place by accident had died at the hands of this thing.

Suddenly, the tree vine closest to the field chicken quickly wrapped around the neck of the field chicken, and the field chicken was caught off guard The gun in his hand fell to the ground, and his whole person was easily lifted by the tree vine.

Tian Ji tried to break the tree vine on his neck with both hands, and the whole person struggled desperately.

"Catch the knife!"

I shouted, threw the knife in my hand, Tian Ji quickly caught the knife, and then inserted it into the vine, and suddenly we heard a low scream from the top of the cave, the vine that wrapped around the field chicken was painfully injured, and the field chicken was thrown to the ground hard, he reacted fast enough, and when he fell, he also backhanded a knife, and the end of the tree vine was cut off with great force.

In the firelight, the vines that fell on the ground were still flowing in a pool of blood, that thing had flesh and blood, I didn't know what kind of monster it was for a while, Tian Ji picked up the gun from the ground again, rubbed his neck and looked up, the whole person was stunned with a shocked face, and we saw the low-hanging vines on the top of the entire cave curled up one after another.

Immediately after that, a pair of red points of light flickered on it one after another, and slowly moved towards us, and soon it became clear that those red points of light were actually a pair of eyes.

In the firelight, we saw a dense and creepy monster, which looked like snakes, but with wings on their backs and a baby-like cry, which looked particularly strange in this cave.

"It's a snake!" Ye Zhiqiu's voice trembled and said. "A fierce beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"It should be that the ancestors of the Peng family stayed here to guard the ruins." We were close together, and in an instant we were surrounded by snakes, and I looked at the snake that had just had its tail cut off by the pheasant, and the wound was constantly trying to heal and grow a new end.

What surprised me even more was that the severed tail on the ground continued to extend in the wriggling until a new snake grew, which showed that these monsters had exactly the same abilities as the witches.

"Is there any record in the Book of Mountains and Seas that the snake is afraid of?" I asked aloud as I watched the snake in front of me.

I haven't heard Ye Zhiqiu's voice for a long time, and when I turned my head, I was suddenly shocked, Ye Zhiqiu was too far away from us just now, and when she was attacked by the snake, she didn't have time to join us, and now she was standing alone more than a dozen steps away from us.

Ye Zhiqiu's face was pale, surrounded by dense snakes, and the whole person trembled and didn't even dare to speak.

"You stay to protect the others, and I'll save Zhiqiu." I panicked and said to Tian Ji.

As soon as he grasped the knife and was about to go over, he was stopped by Tian Ji, who seemed to be worried that the movement would be too big and stimulate the snakes around him, and he handed me a look at Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu was unarmed, judging from the corpses we found, these snakes were extremely ferocious, and they had incredible abilities, they stayed here to protect this ruin, but anyone who came near would be tortured and killed.

And now the snake is close to Ye Zhiqiu, densely surrounded by her body, once the attack is launched, I believe that she can be torn to pieces in an instant, we are still more than a dozen steps away from Ye Zhiqiu, even if I can break through the encirclement of the snake, it is estimated that when I rush to her side, Ye Zhiqiu will only be left with fragmented wreckage in a pool of blood.

I promised to protect her thoroughly, even if she was a descendant of the Guiru people, but as Gu Chaoge, that was my promise to her, and I shook off Tian Ji's hand vigorously.

"You're not the only one here who wants to save Zhiqiu." The field chicken grabbed me again, his hand holding me tightly like an iron pincer. "With the weapons in our hands, we can't deal with these monsters, we will only kill more and more, and before you can pass, you will be turned into a snake and broken into pieces."

"Zhiqiu, what are you afraid of?" I asked out loud.

"The snake is a water beast in the Book of Mountains and Seas, water and fire are incompatible, and you must be afraid of fire." Ye Zhiqiu's voice trembled and replied.

"Let it go!" I said to Tian Ji with a gloomy face.

"If you want to go, I'll go, you stay." Tian Ji didn't care about me getting angry at all, pushed me back with a palm, and pulled out the knife from his body to save Ye Zhiqiu.

Before Tian Ji could take a step, I took the torch in the palace lord's hand and walked to the other side of the passage without hesitation, I didn't go to save Ye Zhiqiu, but kept walking to the corner, the farther away from the others, the better.

"What are you doing?!" Tian Ji asked anxiously.

"Since these monsters were left by the people on that ship, the people I want to guard against the most are not the people who accidentally entered here, but the people who have been chasing their whereabouts, just like we are in Penglai in the East China Sea, Xiangliu can sense my existence, and I believe that the same is true of these snakes." I threw away the torch in my hand and slashed it in the palm of my hand, and the moment my blood gushed out, all the hooked snakes in the cave looked backwards.

Their mouths emitted violent and ferocious screams, like hoarse babies crying, especially strange and eerie, and in an instant the hooked snakes besieging other people quickly swam towards me, they should have sensed my blood, so as to determine my identity, these monsters stayed here, it was me who was on guard, and this was the only way I could save others.
