It turned out that after Sanji pulled out the soul bead, he opened the secret door at the bottom of the sarcophagus, when the old Tao threw the soul bead into the sarcophagus, the bead fell directly into the cave, and directly woke up the hibernating yin viper, the old Tao just went to see the yin viper swallow the soul bead, he was in a hurry to shoot directly at the yin viper, but the passage below was too narrow, and it could not be opened at all, but it angered the yin viper to be forced step by step, and had to flee out.

At this time, the yin viper seemed to be dead, but Lao Dao was still a little uneasy, he first took out the spirit rune, hit the head of the yin viper, a blue light did not enter the body of the giant python, but there was no response, Lao Dao circled around the corpse of the yin viper for half a circle, and then walked cautiously.

In order to prevent accidents, Daochang Qingsong directly stabbed the sword into the snake's eye, and there was no hilt, obviously he used all his strength, and the blade of the sword pierced through the other snake's eye.

It was only then that everyone was relieved that the Yin Viper had indeed died completely.

Lao Dao pulled out his sword and slashed it at the snake's belly, only to hear a "ding" sound, although the tip of the sword pierced into the snake's skin, but it was caught just an inch, and I vaguely saw a string of sparks.

No way! The scales on the belly of this monster are so hard, and the hardness of the scales on its back can be imagined, if it were attacked at close range, several of us would definitely be killed or injured.

Lao Dao frowned and pulled out the sword, and began to try to pry open the gap between the scales, and then inserted the sword through the gap, and then successfully pierced into the snakeskin. As the scales were pried up by him and peeled off from the snake's skin one by one, the python's abdomen was slowly dissected by the old way.

In addition to the abnormally hard scales, the muscles and internal organs of the yin viper are very normal, and Lao Dao didn't take much effort to find the soul bead, and after repeated checking, he found that there was no accident, so he carefully put away the soul bead.

After putting away the Soul Bead, Lao Dao did not stop, he still looked through the abdominal cavity of the Yin Viper, and then cut off a bloody mass of internal organs with his sword.

He came back with the mass of entrails and asked me for some water to clean up the entrails.

I asked, confused, "What is this?" ”

Qingsong Dao Chang said with a smile: "This is the gall of the Yin Viper, it is definitely a treasure that can be met but not sought, use it to grind it into powder and add it to cinnabar, it can enhance the power of the spirit rune, and it can also remove all kinds of snake venom if you eat it directly." ”

As he spoke, he had already cut the snake gall with his sword, cut it into strips, and then pulled out the stopper of the wine gourd, and put the meat strips into the wine jug one by one, as if they were to be soaked in wine for preservation.

After doing this, Lao Dao said to us: "There is a passage in the cave, and this yin viper is in a stone chamber in the passage, it seems that it should have been there a long time ago, and there is no trace of others walking below. However, there are forks in the passage, and I don't know if there are any other traps or traps in it, so I feel that the environment is a bit complicated. Now that the Soul Bead has been recovered, I would like to discuss with the two of you whether we should continue to find a way out from here. ”

I understood what Lao Dao meant, and he said that the situation below was complicated, because he was worried that he would get lost if he went down, or he would be trapped underneath by the agency, and he would lose contact with us, and he would not worry about the safety of me and Sanji when we went down together.

I glanced up at Sanchi, just in time to meet her gaze, and before I could speak, Sanji said, "Daoist, can you tell me the direction of the fork in the road?" ”

Lao Dao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Sanji to ask this, but he still replied: "The situation inside is a little complicated...... let's put it this way, although there are three roads below, one of them has completely collapsed, and one of the other two has some cracks, only one is intact, and these two roads lead to these two directions respectively." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and pointed in both directions.

Sanji suddenly pointed to Lao Dao's left hand and said, "The completely undamaged passage you said is the one on the left, right?" ”

"Huh?! How do you know? Have you ever gone down? …… No, this can't be ......" Lao Dao was shocked by Sanji at once, and looked at her with amazement.

Seeing the exaggerated appearance of the old way, Sanji suddenly covered his mouth and smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to it and said: "How can I go down, this ghost place is also my first time, but well, it's easy to say, I'm just guessing, do you remember that passage like a trestle?" ”

The direction that Sanji was pointing in was the same as Lao Dao's left hand, except that she was pointing closer to the ground. I immediately remembered the narrow road, which was not really a road, but it was only because the rest of the country had collapsed, but the narrow strip did not collapse at all, which was particularly striking.

It was then that I figured out why Sanchi could guess which one was the best passage. And judging from the sturdiness of this passage, it doesn't look like a casual common passage, maybe it's the only way to survive here.

Sanji said: "Let's go down together, although there will be some dangers, but there will not be many accidents like the Yin Viper, because the passage below may have basically collapsed, and the danger level has been reduced to a minimum, if the only intact passage is not a way out, then we will return to the Phoenix Temple, and then think about it." ”

I agreed with Sanchi's idea, so I said to Lao Dao: "Let's go down and have a look, I guess, like the dryad on the ground, this yin viper should also have its own domain range, and under the other passages, there is a large area, and there will be no other monsters." ”

Lao Dao nodded in agreement with my speculation, and then he said: "Since you two have the same idea, then I have nothing to say, everyone will be more careful later, or I will explore the way ahead, let's go." ”

After that, Daoist Qingsong came to the location of the sarcophagus again, but now the sarcophagus has been broken into dozens of pieces, only the big black hole in the ground remains, but the stone tablet with the rope is still intact, and the rope has not been broken. This rope is specially made by the military, and I am not surprised that it was not broken, but the stele did not fall, but it was a little surprising, because most of the sarcophagus was directly hit by the yin viper, but it was stopped by the stele, and the result was that the sarcophagus was broken into several pieces, and the stele did not move.

There must be something strange about this stele, and Sanji also found out what the problem was, and was looking around the stele at this time.

I suddenly remembered the stone tablet at the mouth of the valley, could it be that the two stone tablets were made by ancient gods?

Sanji stretched out her hand and touched the inscription on the stele, compared to her eyes silently feeling, after a while she opened her eyes and said: "This stele is probably the center of here, but now that the formation has been destroyed, it may temporarily lose its function, let's go down first, this place has nothing to do with us." ”

Lao Dao nodded in agreement, he tested the strength of the rope, and then, as before, flew and jumped into the underground cavern.

Sanji and I didn't have that kind of stretch out, so we had to honestly climb down the rope slowly, and we quickly climbed it in just over 20 meters.

When I came below, the first thing I felt was a fishy smell, which should be the body odor left by the yin viper, and there was a stone chamber with a hole in the passage, which was the habitat of the yin viper that Lao Dao said.

I just used a flashlight to take a look inside, and found that this is a completely closed stone room, and there is nothing on the ground for dozens of meters, so it can be seen that this yin viper should have been in a state of hibernation, otherwise there is no food here to keep it alive. Although it can also devour the Yin Spirits to replenish energy, this large animal still needs enough protein and water to maintain normal vital signs.

Walking further, there were indeed three forks in the road, two of which were damaged and collapsed, only one passage appeared different, and the inside was clean and spotless, and when the flashlight shone through, it immediately reflected a piece of luster.

Seeing this vision, Lao Dao was also very interested, because before this, he only glanced at it slightly, and then he was attacked by the Yin Viper, and he didn't notice anything different here, he just thought it was an ordinary passage that had not collapsed.

When we got closer, we could see the structure inside the passage, and we were still stunned by what we saw.
