The hollow trunk gave me hope. This tree was the tallest in the neighborhood, and it was also the thickest, and it certainly couldn't be hugged by one person.

I looked down, and it was pitch black in the hollow, and I couldn't see what was going on below. I picked up a stone and threw it in, and it took several seconds to hear the sound of the stone falling.

That's right, this is it! Through this hollow tree trunk, there is a high probability that you will enter the catacomb, which is supposed to be the place where we have been looking for corpses for a long time.

"How could such a big tree ......" Huang Ying leaned over and muttered in confusion.

Of course, I also had the same doubts in my heart, this tree looked like it was leafy from the outside, and it didn't look like there was a problem at all. I even climbed up the tree just now, and I didn't feel anything unusual.

Perhaps this is a trick to find the entrance to the catacomb, which must be so unexpected. If I hadn't tried it out, I guess it would have been hard to find out the mystery.

I thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Huang Ying, you guard outside first, and I'll go down and take a look." If there is a problem......"

"Stop, I won't save you even if there's a problem. I ask you, be smart, do you really think you can enter the corpse breeding ground from here? Huang Ying gave me a blank look.

I shrugged helplessly: "Then you have a better way?" ”

It seems that Huang Ying still has a little prejudice against me in her heart, but I'm used to it now. I can understand what she means, she thinks it's a bit unreliable for us to find the "entrance" so easily.

After all, there aren't too many trees on this hillside, and the hollow trunk seems to be just that. When others enter the corpse breeding ground, they must not use this method, otherwise the tree would have been broken long ago.

But now, on the one hand, we don't have any more time to waste. On the other hand, I couldn't find any other way to enter the catacombs for a while, so I had to take the risk.

"That'...... Forget it, if you want to go down and die, just go, I won't stop you! Huang Ying muttered.

I smiled wryly, and when I was ready, I jumped straight into the hollow of the tree. This tree hole seems to be made for me, and I suspect that anyone who is a little fatter will definitely be stuck here if they want to jump.

Before I even touched the ground, I could already feel a chill that invaded my bone marrow. Even though I had the Five Elements Talisman Body, I was still shivering from the cold.

After a few seconds, I finally landed on the ground, down to earth. But the situation underneath was more complicated than I had imagined, and there seemed to be a lot of rocks on the surface of the underground, which almost made me stumble.

"Hey, what's next?" Huang Ying should have heard the sound of me landing, so she hurriedly asked.

I casually agreed, which was considered to be safe, and then carefully observed the underground environment. It was pitch black, and there was a big hole in the top of the head, but I couldn't feel the sunlight shining in at all.

Suddenly, it was as if something had touched me. I shuddered, and my mind became highly tense.

Suddenly I turned around, and the thing came again, like a large, rough-skinned hand, caressing over my face. My hairs stood upside down and goosebumps rose.

"Who?" I asked tentatively, and at the same time prepared for battle.

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a "whoosh" sound, and countless hands grabbed me. No, it wasn't supposed to be a hand, it was more like a rope.

My body was tied very tightly, which couldn't help but remind me of the last time I was caught by Aunt Chu's big net. I didn't dare to struggle hard, so I could only try to use my sword trick to cut off what was binding me.

"What's going on? What's underneath? Do you need me to help you? Huang Ying's voice became a little nervous.

With the use of the Qi Lookout technique, I couldn't get used to the darkness below for a short time. Huang Ying stood outside, unable to see what was going on here, and the unknown was often more frightening.

I didn't have time to explain too much to her, so I casually replied, "It's dangerous, don't act rashly first!" ”

Gradually, I was able to adjust to the light in the cave in front of me. I looked closely, and it wasn't a rope that was holding me, let alone a dry hand, it was a tree root!

The space in the entire cave is not large, and it is estimated that it is not much larger than the cellar where sweet potatoes are stored in the countryside. Looking up, it was densely packed with swaying roots.

And the "stone" I felt when I fell down just now was actually a pile of white bones. Miscalculated, there is no way to enter the catacombs here, it's just a trap.

Fortunately, the sword technique was still effective on those tree roots, and the golden light flashed, and countless tree roots were broken. The severed one fell to the ground, and it would "struggle" for a moment before it completely stopped moving.

However, the more troublesome thing is that there are too many roots in this underground, and it is too inefficient to use sword tricks to deal with tree roots. After a little hesitation, I prepared to burn the roots of the tree with the fire chamotator.

As soon as his mind moved, a fire exorcism talisman flew out of the dantian. Just as I was about to start the fire, I suddenly heard Huang Ying's scream.

"Wait, I'll come down and save you!" After saying that, she really jumped off it.

I was very depressed, and she jumped down, who would pull me up later? What's more, with her, I can't use the fire exorcism talisman.

No matter how big the fire is, I have the Five Elements Talisman Protector anyway, so I basically won't be damaged. Huang Ying is different, without inviting Ma Xian, she is just an ordinary person.

In addition, the area in this cave is very small, once a fire ignites, Huang Ying has no way to avoid it.

I can't help it, she's down, and I can't get rid of her anymore. Gritting my teeth, I rushed up and caught her.

"What are you doing down here? I can do it here! Don't move now, stay with me! I said coldly.

Huang Ying should also realize that her behavior was not appropriate, but she said stiffly: "I didn't come down to help you?" What if you die here? Then our task will definitely not be completed today. ”

The only thing that made me more relieved was that Huang Ying only muttered a few words, but on the whole she was relatively cooperative and didn't cause me trouble.

From time to time, there were flashes of golden light in the cave, and the roots of trees were constantly being cut off. Under the reflection of the golden light, Huang Ying saw the situation in the cave clearly, her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was open.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? Those trees are still bleeding when their roots are cut off? There are at least hundreds of people who have died here, right? Where is Uncle Yuan's body? Huang Ying's questions came one after another.

Her question stopped me, how do I know what the hell is going on? In total, I was only two or three minutes ahead of her, and I didn't know what was going on.

As for Uncle Yuan's body, I am sure it will not appear here. Although this cave is also evil, it is by no means a place to raise corpses, more like a trap.

Based on the previous speculation, I think that the underground burial chamber under this hillside was later tampered with, and then the feng shui layout was tampered with, and it became a place for raising corpses.

The tombs of some dignitaries and nobles will have all kinds of precious burial goods. And those funeral goods often bring great trouble to the deceased.

Some people who specialize in tomb robbing, the jargon is called touching the gold school captain, and the most coveted is the burial goods in the tomb. When it is dug up, it is an antique, and the value can be much more expensive than when it was buried.

Therefore, when some large tombs are built, they like to arrange some traps, and even create some fake tombs. If I'm not mistaken, this cave is also one of the traps, not the main tomb.

"Alright, don't be verbose! It's not a matter that we've been in a stalemate like this, can you invite some immortals who aren't afraid of fire? I'm going to burn this place down with a fire! I said in a deep voice.

Huang Ying frowned slightly, and recalled carefully: "Aren't you afraid of fire? Just kidding, is there anything in the animal that is not afraid of fire? Unless it's a legendary beast. ”

As soon as I heard her say that, I was depressed. Huang Ying is the immortal of the Hu family, and those who can be invited are generally "fox spirits", and foxes are also afraid of fire.

To put it mildly, if there is a fire in the mountain, whether it is a fox or a weasel, few of the small animals in the mountain can escape.

"So what now? I can't attack with fire, I'll die here sooner or later! I sighed.

At this point, I have already begun to use the power of the Five Elements Talisman, and if I rely only on the aura in my body, I am afraid that I will already be exhausted.

Huang Ying's brows deepened and deepened: "No matter, I'll invite one first, and then you can discuss if you have a problem." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Ying's body trembled violently, and she closed her eyes and was silent for a few seconds. When I opened her eyes again, I noticed that her eyes were glowing blue.

"What's the trouble?" Huang Ying spoke, but her voice became unfamiliar.

It was not Hu Yingniang she invited this time, but the other party's strength will definitely not be too weak. I paused and told the other person about the situation I was facing.

"It's easy, you have the five elements in your body, right? Hold her tight, and the fire won't hurt her. After briefly throwing out these two sentences, the cyan light in Huang Ying's eyes flashed away.

I almost cursed, what kind of solution is this? Holding Huang Ying, the fire won't hurt her? How did I not know that the five elements were so powerful?

"How's it going? Did you come up with a solution? Huang Ying has come to her senses.

I hesitated, I didn't know how to speak, if I told the truth, would she believe me? What if she misunderstands me again?

"Manly man, what's the ink! Isn't it difficult? If you really can't help it, even if you give up, I don't care, burn to death......" Huang Ying's words were like a cannon.

Well, the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, and if she continued to talk about it, it would become that I was going to burn her to death. In desperation, I told the idea of the horse fairy just now.

Huang Ying was still a little impassioned in the last second, and in an instant, she was stunned in place, and said, "You...... What did you just say? You have to hold me, and the five elements in your body will protect me? ”

I nodded: "That's right, I said it up front, I didn't mean to take advantage of you. That's exactly what the horse fairy said, but I'm actually very embarrassed. ”

The corners of Huang Ying's mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't believe it: "Are you embarrassed?" What are you embarrassed about, I think you can't wait! ”
