Watching the "tentacles" dancing all over the surrounding hills, it was a chilling scene.

I glared at Lantern Xiao, "Thanks to your crow's mouth, you really got right!" ”

"I didn't know if there really were," Lantern Xiao scolded: "What the hell is this TM!" How can there be so many? ”

A voice next to him said, "I once saw something similar in an ancient book," we followed the sound and looked over, and it was Wenmo who spoke, "This thing should be called the Yin Snake Vine, a species left over from ancient times." This thing belongs to yin, and it generally grows around large tombs, specifically absorbing the yin qi in the tombs, but it is really unheard of to have such a large-scale snake vine. ”

Qi Feng asked, "Then why does it attack people?" ”

"It doesn't just attack people," Wenmo continued, "and anything that comes close to it, it attacks." They can even move slowly underground, which explains why those five-trick stone people move, because the snake vines in their bodies are moving. ”

"I see." I listened to Wenmo's words and nodded. "No wonder you just now knew to use a burning stick against it."

Wen Mo said lightly: "I wasn't sure it was the Yin Snake Vine just now, I just tried it, but I didn't expect it to work." "Listening to Wen Mo's words, I was in a cold sweat, if this thing wasn't a Yin Snake Vine, I would have hung it just now.

Everyone stared closely at the countless snake vines around them, and although we were all coated with charcoal ash that restrained them, no one dared to enter this group of snake vines, because there were too many of them.

I asked the second uncle next to me in a low voice, "Second uncle, what should I do?" ”

The second uncle didn't make a sound, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Wen Mo looked at the snake vine below the hill and said, "I'll try it." ”

I hurriedly stopped, "No, it's too dangerous!" ”

Wen Mo had already walked out and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm just trying." ”

"But," I wanted to continue to say something, but the second uncle next to me pulled me, "It's okay, Wenmo is not a reckless person." ”

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut, and everyone nervously watched Wen Mo approach those Yin Snake Vines step by step. Wen Mo's footsteps stepped on the "rustle" sound brought by the wild grass, which made those yin snake vines dance even more violently.

I saw Wen Mo cautiously walked to those dancing snake vines, fortunately, Wen Mo's body was covered with charcoal ash, these snake vines did not attack him immediately, Wen Mo hesitated, then raised his hand again to test it, and then turned around and walked back.

I sighed softly, is it really not working?

It wasn't just me, everyone had a look of loss on their faces.

I suddenly remembered that just now, An Ye seemed to know more about this Yin Snake Vine, and I clearly remember reminding us at that time that the person who was afraid of charcoal ash was him.

"An Ye, your old ......" I turned my head to ask An Ye, but suddenly found that An Ye was gone, along with Qi Feng.

I exclaimed, "I'll go!" Where have they been? ”

Hearing my shout, the others turned their heads, and everyone was surprised to find that An Ye and Qi Feng were really gone.

The second uncle frowned and thought for a while, "Just now, all of our attention was on those snake vines and Wen Mo, and we didn't notice the movements of An Ye and Qi Feng at all. Has any of you noticed? ”

Hearing the second uncle's question, the others also shook their heads.

"Hey! That's weird! Where can these two go? Lantern Xiao looked around, and in addition to the dancing snake vines, there were also the shadows of those two people.

"Holy!" Lantern Xiao suddenly patted his head and said, "These two people won't find out, and then dump us!" ”

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily, could it be that when we didn't pay attention just now, they were attacked by these snakes and vines?" ”

"This shouldn't be," the second uncle shook his head and said, "Even if they are attacked by snakes and vines, it is impossible for two big living people not to make a sound at all." Actually," the second uncle looked at Lantern Xiao, "Actually, I think what Yuan Ding said is very likely, Yuan An has done similar things before, which is why I no longer cooperate with him later." ”

"Uncle's!" Lantern Xiao scolded, "This old guy! When I go out, I don't care what the Yuan family does not care about him, I will definitely kill him! ”

"Okay, okay," I patted Lantern Festival, "Lantern Festival, don't get excited, it's come to this, let's think about what we should do next, right?" Lantern Xiao listened and nodded.

Zhou Cheng searched the ground around him, "Can we find out the traces of the two of them leaving, so that we can also follow them." ”

The second uncle waved his hand, "An old Jianghu like Yuan An has a way to hide his traces, and there is definitely a way for you to find the route they left." Moreover, even if he finds it, there is no guarantee that he will not stumble in it, so to be on the safe side, it is best for us to figure it out ourselves. ”

We all agree with the second uncle's statement, but the current problem is that we can't do anything.

Wen Mo looked at the snake vines around him, "Have you noticed that there are a large number of snake vines around, but in this area under our feet, there are not a single one." ”

As soon as the text says this, we notice that this is indeed the case. The second uncle also nodded, "It seems that we didn't know the true face of Lushan just now, and we only because we were in this mountain." ”

"Second uncle, don't drag the poems at this time, hurry up and think about what to do." I urged the second uncle.

The second uncle reached out and took out the compass from his bag, looked along the mountain, then turned the direction again, then nodded and said, "This place is really a little weird!" ”

I hurriedly asked the second uncle: "Second uncle, what's so strange about this?" ”

The second uncle squatted down and touched the ground, "Yuan Ding, is there a Luoyang shovel?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Lantern Xiao agreed, and at the same time took out the shovel head and shovel handle from the bag, "Second uncle, let me tell you, my equipment is absolutely complete, much more complete than when I went to Qilian Mountain." ”

"You!" I looked at the Lantern Festival, "When we went to Qilian Mountain to prepare equipment, it was mainly to save people, but now it is for the inverted bucket, can the equipment be the same?" ”

When Lantern Xiao heard my words, she was embarrassed for a moment, and nodded again and again, "Ah, yes, yes, hehe......"

At the beginning, I didn't understand the industry of inverted buckets, but now that I look back and think about it, some of the equipment prepared at that time was indeed used for inverted buckets, and I had doubted this before, so it seems that when Shi Tao was preparing the equipment, he took into account the possibility of going to the grave.

And now that I heard Lantern Xiao say something like this, an idea suddenly popped up in my mind, did Lantern Xiao also know the purpose of that time? In this case, it was only me and Kong Xue who were kept in the dark at the beginning, and Kong Xue was Uncle Kong's daughter, and I even felt that it was possible that the only one who didn't know anything was me!

I was thinking about it here, when suddenly the second uncle's voice interrupted my thoughts, "There is a problem with the soil layer here, and," the second uncle grabbed a handful of soil and said: "In these soil layers, a layer of charcoal ash has been added, obviously to prevent the invasion of the Yin Snake Vine, I am afraid there is something underneath." ”

Lantern Xiao opened her mouth and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

The second uncle stood up, gestured on the ground with a Luoyang shovel in his hand, frowned, his face changed, and looked up at us, "This may be the entrance to the underground palace?" ”

"Entrance?" Hearing the second uncle say this, we were all a little surprised.

"No wonder, Yuan An and the two of them will get rid of us here, have they already found the entrance to the underground palace?" Lantern Xiao said hatefully.

The second uncle nodded, "We don't care how they got in." Now that we know the location of the dungeon, we only need a thief hole to enter. And the location of this thief hole is probably in ......" The second uncle groaned for a while, and then thrust the Luoyang shovel in his hand into the ground, "That's it!" Then he raised his head and looked at Wen Mo, "What do you think of Wen Mo?" "The second uncle, who has always done his own thing, is actually asking Wenmo's opinion, which makes me a little surprised.

Wen Mo looked at the location determined by the second uncle, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"Okay, let's get started!" The second uncle pulled out the Luoyang shovel on the ground and beckoned a few of us to start stealing holes.

I, Lantern Xiao, Zhou Cheng and Wen Mo, the four of them took turns to move their hands, and soon the thief hole was diagonally down and hit very deep.

I handed the shovel to exchange for my Lantern Festival, climbed up to the cave and took a long breath, then sat down on the ground to rest. Looking at the surrounding Yin Snake Vine, it gradually became still again, becoming like a clump of dwarf trees. Such a scene makes me feel even more gloomy.

Suddenly, we heard the Lantern Festival below shouting: "There is a thief hole down here!" ”

All of us were alert at once, and we all went down to the cave. In the diagonal downward position of the Lantern Festival, a layer of soil has fallen off, revealing another thief hole below, which is very deep and does not know where it leads.

We looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. The second uncle sighed, "It seems that this is a meeting with a peer, and even the location of the Dingbai Cave is the same." I look at this thief hole, it didn't take a long time to dig out, that is, it was within ten years, and I don't know if there is anything left for us in it. ”

Lantern Xiao sighed, "Uncle! Truncated! ”

Zhou Cheng said: "Anyway, since it's all here, let's go in and have a look." ”

The second uncle nodded, "You must enter, and Yuan An and the two of them probably found this thief hole, so they sneaked in while we weren't paying attention." ”

When Lantern Xiao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Let's hurry up, otherwise if the two people of the Yuan family are in front, there will be no more of us!" ”

The second uncle nodded, "Then let's go in, but be careful when you're done, Wenmo and I will walk in front!" ”
