Chapter 261: Buried
As he spoke, a scream cut through the silence. Hu Yingniang's face changed slightly, and she quickly ran towards the corner on the left hand side of the main hall, where there was a side door that led to the back.
I glanced at Huang Ying and hurriedly chased after him. As soon as I got closer, I saw a plaque hanging above the side door, which read the words "Out of the General".
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the sound was very strange.
Immediately after that, the side door was opened, and then three black shadows flew out of it at a very fast speed. Hu Yingniang's face became even more ugly, and she hurriedly greeted her.
The three shadows were all very small, and they were so fast that I couldn't see what they were.
Hu Yingniang caught the three things cleanly, and as soon as I stood still, I smelled a smell of blood, and I suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart.
"How are you doing? Why is this happening? What the hell is terrible in there? Hu Yingniang asked three questions in a row.
When I came over, I found that Hu Yingniang was holding three bloody foxes in her arms. The three foxes were covered in scars, and their eyes had dimmed.
Hu Yingniang sighed deeply, took out a white cloth, spread it on the ground, rolled up the corpses of the three foxes with white cloth, and placed them aside.
This scene looks really sad, but I don't know what to say, and I don't know how to comfort Hu Yingniang, so I can only watch quietly.
"What's going on?" Huang Ying asked curiously.
Hu Yingniang frowned and shook her head: "They can't do it before they make it clear, anyway, it's very dangerous behind this side door, they told you not to go in, otherwise there is only a dead end." ”
The Hu family has their own unique way of communicating, and they should have said something to Hu Yingniang before the three foxes took their last breath. It's a pity that the time is short, and Hu Yingniang didn't get any useful information.
"The other people must have entered the side door, right? Will they be in danger? Huang Ying asked.
After speaking, Huang Ying also frowned slightly, and looked at the side door in the other corner, her eyes flashing with cyan light. The Hu family is in the night, and their eyes can also see at night, but the cyan light is strange and scary.
There is also a plaque hanging on the side door, which reads the words "Entering the Phase". The plaques on both sides are connected with the words "out of the general and into the phase", which makes me very puzzled.
"Out of the general into the prime minister" is an idiom, generally used to describe a person who has both humanities and military skills, can be a general, and can be a prime minister when he enters the court.
But after this idiom is separated, it is most often used on the stage to ask for good luck. On one side is the door for the game, and on the other side is the door for the game.
If you analyze it this way, I guess that the side door with the "Entering the Phase" plaque should be the right path to the back. It turns out that my guess seems to have some truth, because none of the Hu family members who entered through the "Xiangxiang" door have ever come out.
At first, Hu Yingniang wanted to enter the "general" door, she was worried about the cause of death of the three people, and wanted to go in to find out what the situation was.
But under the persuasion of "Huang Ying", Hu Yingniang finally decided to enter another door first. After all, the other few people have all entered the "phase" door, and there has been no news so far, and now of course, it is the most important thing to find them.
After the three of us discussed, Hu Yingniang took the lead, and Huang Ying broke off. I'm the weakest in the world, but I'm probably more useful in the future, and I'm protected in the middle.
Pushing open the door, the scene behind it completely changed. Behind the majestic and magnificent hall turned out to be a narrow tunnel, and the road inside the tunnel was rough and very difficult to walk.
"Wait, what do you see on the walls?" I noticed some weird patterns on the inner walls of the tunnel.
The colors of those patterns are very light, and if you don't look closely, you probably won't notice them. It was only a while after I entered the tunnel that I noticed the pattern on the wall.
Hu Yingniang and Huang Ying turned their heads to look at them at the same time, but those patterns did not attract the attention of the two of them. In their opinion, those patterns may just be the lines on the stone, all of which are naturally formed.
I didn't agree with either of them, but I quickly ignored the patterns on the walls. Because the patterns are so weird that I can't read them at all.
On top of that, we didn't enter the tunnel to study the patterns, but to look for several other Hu family immortals, as well as clues to the place where the corpses were raised.
After about ten minutes, the tunnel gradually widened. Hu Yingniang, who was walking in the front, suddenly squatted down, rubbed her fingers on the ground, and then put it in front of her nose and sniffed.
"Blood! Several of them were injured! Hu Yingniang said in a deep voice.
Looking carefully, where Hu Yingniang squatted, there was indeed a trace of blood. The fox's sense of smell was also excellent, many times stronger than that of humans, and she concluded that the blood was left by her own kind.
The spirits of the three of us instantly tensed, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.
"Whoosh!"
The sudden sound of breaking the air made us feel like a great enemy. Hu Yingniang did not hesitate to block in front of me, and Huang Ying also pulled me and let me lean my back against the wall.
"Khooth!" sounded, as if something was blocked by Hu Yingniang.
After the thing fell to the ground, Hu Yingniang first glanced at it, and her face became even more ugly: "Oh no, it seems that a few of them are already more auspicious!" ”
"What's going on, who's attacking us?" Huang Ying asked suspiciously.
Hu Yingniang sighed: "The secret weapon just now was a fox claw!" If I'm not mistaken, it was Hu Liguo's claws. ”
The "Hu Liguo" in her mouth should be one of the few immortals who have just entered this tunnel. I sighed in silence for the poor brother.
We first saw bloodstains, and then we saw a "broken arm" of a horse fairy, and we don't need to think about it to know that this road is also full of dangers.
"What now? Do you want to keep going? Huang Ying asked with a frown.
Hu Yingniang's face was gloomy, and she glanced at me, as if she was asking me for advice, and as if she was simply informing me. From the look in her eyes, I could already read her choice.
"Keep going, we have to keep going!" Hu Yingniang gritted her teeth and said.
I didn't have any opinion on this choice at the time, my biggest purpose here was to find Uncle Yuan's corpse, rescue Uncle Yuan, and prevent him from being refined into an evil corpse. If the task is not completed, I will never back down easily.
Although Huang Ying was reluctant, we had both made a decision, and she could only obey unconditionally.
After the sneak attack just now, the three of us were more cautious and vigilant. After walking only a dozen steps forward, a strange noise approached quickly.
I smelled a strong smell of blood, and Hu Yingniang casually ordered Huang Ying to take care of me, and she stepped forward at a very fast speed to meet a "behemoth".
"Spiders? That monster...... Is it really a spider? "I was dumbfounded.
A spider the size of a basin came out of the depths of the tunnel. By size, I mean the spider's chest and abdomen.
The spider's abdomen has colorful patterns, and the patterns on that face are also very strange, it looks like a human face, with a nose and eyes.
If you add the spider's legs, which are as thick as an adult's arm and more than a meter long, this spider is enough to block the entire tunnel.
The spider's body was stained with blood, and the smell of blood was very strong. Presumably, the few horse immortals who came in just now should have had a bloody battle with the spider.
Hu Yingniang is able to create a charming illusion, and this method is used to deal with human beings, and it is invincible. But if you want this spider to be tricked, it's too difficult for a spider.
When rushing up, Hu Yingniang suddenly turned into a fox, much larger than ordinary foxes. Of course, compared to that spider, it may still be too small.
However, after Hu Yingniang turned into a fox form, she had fangs and claws, and she did not completely have the upper hand in the battle with spiders.
Despite the spider's size, its attack speed and movement speed are very fast. Occasionally, spider silk spits out, and once it is wrapped around Hu Yingniang, it will bring a lot of trouble to Hu Yingniang.
"Follow me, and we'll both keep going!" Less than a minute into the battle, Huang Ying dragged me forward.
To be honest, I was a little rejected. I can't help Hu Yingniang, I'm already quite guilty, throwing her here to face danger by herself, is it really a big husband's doing?
"What do you mean? Aren't you going to help Hu Yingniang? I asked, puzzled.
Huang Ying shook her head with a serious expression: "Don't worry, that spider is not her opponent." With you here, even if I want to, I can't do it. ”
I wasn't very satisfied with her explanation, but after thinking about it, I continued to follow Huang Ying. If I stay here, it is indeed possible to distract Hu Yingniang and affect her strength.
After walking forward for a short time, he suddenly made a big turn. After turning the corner, the area in the tunnel suddenly became much larger, and the yin qi in the vicinity became even stronger.
"There's a corpse over there!" I was keenly aware of several corpses, lying on the ground.
Huang Ying's expression tightened, and she hurried over to take a look: "Sure enough, a few of them are gone." Chen Fan, be vigilant, the injuries on these people are not entirely caused by spiders! ”
Before she could finish her sentence, I noticed that one of the corpses seemed to move, and quickly reminded me: "That one seems to be alive!" ”
Huang Ying turned her head suddenly, her pupils shrank, and she retreated without warning. I only saw the slightly moving corpse, suddenly jumping up from the ground and reaching out to grab Huang Ying's face.
"Chen Fan, be careful! These guys have all undergone a corpse mutation, don't be careless! Huang Ying said in a deep voice.
Even if she didn't tell me, I would have noticed. Several other corpses also moved, three corpses began to besiege Huang Ying, and two more corpses stared at me.
I quickly pulled out a few talismans, trying to use them to hold the two corpses that were about to attack me, and then examine them carefully to see what had happened to them.
"Definitely!" I threw two talismans out.
The two talismans landed on the foreheads of the two walking corpses almost simultaneously, and the corpses' movements did stop. However, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, the talisman slipped to the ground again.
I couldn't help frowning, it seems that these corpses are not easy to deal with!
