Underneath the suspension bridge is a very wide stream of water, the surface of the water is dark green under the refraction of green light, and it flows slowly, which looks very deep.

The strange footprint disappeared here, and it looked like it had crossed the bridge.

Long Xiaoman and I glanced at each other, but decided to risk crossing the bridge.

Long Xiaoman was just about to go on the bridge, when I suddenly stopped her, "Wait a minute! ”

She turned her head to look at me suspiciously, and I walked in front of her, "I'll go up first, you can come up later, keep your distance from me, if anything happens to me in front of me, you will have time to escape." ”

After saying that, I grabbed a wire rope, squatted down and slowly moved towards the bridgehead step by step.

Long Xiaoman followed closely, I glared at her, and said anxiously, "You stay away from me, I'm exploring the way ahead, and I don't know if this bridge is strong!" ”

Long Xiaoman didn't speak, but he didn't listen to me either, and still followed closely behind me.

I sighed helplessly, so I had to pay attention to her while moving forward carefully, the water below looked very deep, and the bridge was at least dozens of meters away from the water.

Just as we were walking to the middle of the suspension bridge, we suddenly heard a bang on the surface of the water, and when we looked down, we found that the water, which had been calm just now, was tumbling up, and bubbles the size of a basketball were constantly bubbling up, as if it were boiling.

Then the suspension bridge also began to shake for no reason, I grabbed an iron cable with one hand, and instinctively grabbed Long Xiaoman with the other hand, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, I was grabbed by Long Xiaoman first.

The two of us held hands tightly, and our whole bodies were clinging to a few bare iron cables.

It took a long time for the rope to stop shaking, and we were already exhausted and panting, and we looked at each other, and then our faces turned red at the same time, and we hurriedly let go of the hands that were holding each other tightly.

Just as we were about to continue moving forward, we suddenly heard Long Xiaoman shout, "There's something down there!" ”

I looked down and saw a huge black shadow in the shape of a long strip on the surface of the water that had calmed down, which seemed to be at least a few dozen meters long, and its body was as thick as a water tank.

Like an oversized python, the shadow writhed, slowly swam directly below us, and then spun in circles there.

"What's that?" I asked curiously.

"Leave it alone, get out of here!" Long Xiaoman said.

We picked up our speeds, and finally reached the opposite side of the bridge safely, and when we looked over the water, we saw that the black shadow was gone.

Although the two of us were tired and out of breath, we were worried about Xiaohui's comfort, so we didn't have time to rest and continued to walk.

Suddenly, I felt an itchy shoulder, and I was getting more and more nourishing, and I thought it was the place where I was scratched by the bat ghost at that time, so I rubbed it a few times through my clothes and didn't pay attention to it.

But after a while, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, because I remembered that I was scratched by the bat ghost on my right shoulder, and my itchy place was on my left shoulder, and it was very itchy.

When I opened my clothes, I was dumbfounded!

I saw that on my left shoulder, I don't know when, a layer of scales like fish scales grew, densely packed, about the size of a palm, all over the area.

It's just that the shape of these scales is a little strange, it is diamond-shaped, and it also exudes a layer of metallic luster, which looks extremely weird.

When I touched it with my hands, it felt very warm, like the feeling of touching jade, and it was strange to say, when I touched it like this, I suddenly felt no more itchy.

I suddenly remembered that when I met the "archaeological team" in the forest, they found a scale on my left shoulder, and said it was a dragon scale.

I stopped Long Xiaoman and asked her to see what was going on, Long Xiaoman only glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly, as if he had seen something particularly terrifying, and his face turned white in a flash.

When I saw her like this, I panicked and hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. "Long Xiaoman is hesitant, not at all like her usual style, and then let me not think about it, now it's the right thing to find Xiaohui.

When I saw her like this, I thought she must know something, but there was something unspeakable.

But I didn't continue to ask, because I was used to it, I had too many secrets in me, and I felt like they knew them all, but for some reason, they kept them from me.

The monster's footprints never came again, but luckily there was only one path ahead, and we shouldn't be wrong to follow it.

The road became narrower and narrower, and when I reached the back, it became a gap that could only accommodate one person, and after passing through the gap sideways, I was suddenly stunned.

In front of me is a very large circular space, at least the size of a football field, at least ten meters high on the top of the rock, hanging a green night pearl, although the light is a little dim, but still enough for me to see everything nearby.

The ground was full of dense corpses, one after another, almost all over the ground, and there were many strange-shaped weapons scattered next to it, and it seemed that there had been a fierce battle here.

In addition to weapons, there were many charms scattered around, and I was surprised to find a lot of red charms inside, exactly the same as the mysterious man who rescued me in Baihuai Village at that time!

Long Xiaoman was also stunned by the side, picked up a red talisman from the ground and looked at it carefully, sniffed it lightly with his nose, and frowned, "Black Xuanshu!" ”

"What?" When I heard this, I was shocked, "You said that these red talismans are used in black occult arts?" ”

Long Xiaoman didn't speak, just looked around at the corpses on the ground, and suddenly seemed to have found something, picking up a palm-sized piece from a corpse, which was a bit like a token.

There is a word engraved on the sign: Qin.

Then I followed and found that many of the corpses had the same sign on them, but the words engraved on the signs were different.

But there are only four characters in total, which are Qin, Tang, Long, and Hua.

To my surprise, I found a black sign made of unknown material, shaped like an animal heart, on a corpse with red talismans scattered next to it, with no words on it, only a symbol: @.

I was taken aback, how could it be this symbol again?

Before the second uncle died, he drew this symbol on the ground, and not long ago, on the wings of the bat ghost, there was also this symbol, and now this symbol has appeared again!

Long Xiaoman took the black brand in my hand, frowned, and said, "Are they?" ”

I asked who it was, Long Xiaoman looked a little nervous, and slowly said four words, "Ten Thousand Souls Holy Sect!" ”

Then she explained to me that black occult art has always been a taboo in the orthodox Xuanmen, and those who practice black occultism are the mortal enemies of the four major Xuanmen families, and the Ten Thousand Souls Holy Sect is an organization of black occultism, and for many years, it has been fighting fiercely with the four major families.

It wasn't until more than twenty years ago that the four major families joined forces to launch a war to exterminate the Ten Thousand Souls Holy Sect, and the Ten Thousand Souls Holy Sect was hit hard before it stopped, and it didn't come out to do evil for so many years.

Then she looked at the dense corpses in front of her, "I didn't expect this to be the place where the fierce battle took place at that time." ”

I looked at the dense corpses in front of me, and suddenly I felt sad, this is countless human lives, just gone?

I asked Long Xiaoman, the black occult is also a member of the Xuanmen, why do you have to exterminate them?

Long Xiaoman said, "Those who cultivate black occult art are not good people, and it is the mission of our four major families to exterminate them. ”

I asked, "And what did they do?" ”

Long Xiaoman opened his mouth, but he didn't say why, he only said that those who cultivated black occult art were not good people anyway.

The ground was densely packed with corpses, and we walked cautiously in it, because it was too dense, and it was inevitable that we would occasionally step on some bones and make a clicking sound.

Suddenly, I noticed one thing, among these corpses, most of them were from the Hua family, which can be seen from the sign on the corpses.

And I also found a detail, many of the corpses of the Hua family did not look like they had struggled, as if they had been killed by someone with a single blow without defense.

And I also saw two corpses entangled, one of the corpses of the Hua family had a knife stuck in its back, and the one holding the knife was the corpse of the Long family next to it.

The head of the corpse of the Hua family twisted to the side, and a knife in his hand was also inserted into the body of the corpse of the Long family.

Long Xiaoman also noticed the two strangely shaped corpses, the two willow eyebrows twisted together, and the expression on his face was incredible.

"They, cannibalism?" I asked in disbelief.

I looked at the two corpses and made up the picture in my mind:

A member of the Hua family was fighting fiercely with the people of the Ten Thousand Souls Holy Sect, and suddenly someone sneaked up on him from behind, maybe he didn't hit the vital point, he instinctively stabbed back, turned his head and found that it was his companion who attacked him......

Long Xiaoman explained that it might have been an accident, but we found a lot of such corpses later, and judging from the mentality of the corpses, they should have been attacked from behind.

I vaguely feel that this fierce battle is strange, and the other three families are a bit like they are targeting the Hua family.

Walk through this clearing and enter a laneway, and at the entrance of the laneway, there is a triangular banner with some strange words on it. There were more corpses scattered next to it, stacked on top of each other.

"Ecstasy?" Long Xiaoman looked at the banner and said suddenly.

I suddenly remembered that there was also a Ecstasy Array at the entrance of our village, so I asked Long Xiaoman what was going on.

Long Xiaoman explained that this banner was the eye of the Ecstasy Array, and at that time, it was probably to prevent the people of the Ten Thousand Souls Holy Sect from escaping, so the Ecstasy Array was placed at the exit.

I took a closer look at the corpses stacked on the ground, and a terrible thought suddenly popped into my head, and I shook my head and said, "I don't think so. ”

Then I pointed to the corpses on the ground, "You see, all the people who died in the Ecstasy Array were people from the Hua family, and this was clearly a conspiracy called the Extermination of the Ten Thousand Souls Holy Sect, but it was actually a conspiracy against the Hua family!" ”
