Chapter VI: Relics
The cave was dark and cold, and the three of them chose to move forward quietly when they entered.
After walking a distance of dozens of meters, Li Chen's nose suddenly moved.
Seeing this, the three stopped.
"The smell of blood?"
Li Chen looked at his feet, and sure enough, he saw a few pieces of blood that were almost gone, he slowly looked up and looked forward, and saw more blood stains extending into the depths of the cave, and the more he went into the cave, the clearer the bloodstains became.
He focused on one of the blood stains, and then thought to himself:
"Paw prints, like?"
He beckoned, and the three of them continued to explore.
After walking more than thirty meters, the cave at this time was extremely dark, almost to the point where you couldn't see your fingers, the air in the cave became more and more humid and cold, and the three of them smelled a stronger bloody smell.
Gou Wuving, who had not spoken all the time, covered his nose quite uncomfortably.
The smell of blood was too great, and his already superior sense of smell made him uncomfortable.
Li Chen and Mu Yu also covered their noses.
But looking at the intensity of the smell of blood, it means that the target is not far away, so the three of them continue to move forward.
Sou!
A palm-sized black shadow suddenly swooped down from the top of the dark cave towards Mu Yu, bringing a slight wind sound in the quiet cave.
In the next moment, a flash of blue light flashed.
The black shadow froze in mid-air, then fell to the ground, splitting in half from the middle of its body before bleeding.
Li Chen put down the bloodless Qingling Sword and looked at the 'black shadow' that was split into two halves below.
It's a blue-black mouse.
"Ghouls. ”
Li Chen looked at its blue-black skin and frowned.
This ghoul rat generally gathers around the corpse and eats corpses for a living, and Li Chen has seen a lot of them in the Great Wilderness.
However, this also proves that there is indeed a corpse in front of it.
The trio moved on.
After walking a distance of about 20 meters and killing two or three more ghoul rats, Li Chen and the others finally saw the 'remains'.
No, it shouldn't be said to be a corpse, it should be said to be a corpse!
At the end of the passage ahead, a blood-colored skeleton in a tattered bloody suit was lying on the ground twisted, surrounded by bitten arms and bones, thighs, and other torsos, and even more disgusting, there were several blue-black rats chewing on the remaining flesh on top of these broken torsos.
This scene was really terrifying, and even Li Chen couldn't help but stand on end.
Mu Yu's body was also a little trembling, but Gou Wuving's face was normal, and there was only a calm scrutiny in his eyes.
"Squeak~"
"Squeak~"
These ghoul rats who were chewing human flesh heard the movement, turned their heads and saw Li Chen and them, and then they squeaked directly, and crawled towards Li Chen and them on all fours.
Li Chen saw this move and was just about to make a move on the Qingling Sword, when he saw more than a dozen cyan long vines suddenly flying out of his side.
These long vines flew towards at least forty or fifty corpse eaters like spirit snakes, and when the two collided, the long vines directly "snapped" the rats crawling on the ground and crashed into the wall!
This one alone has killed at least a dozen ghoul rats!
Then these long vines are withdrawn and pumped again!
Syllable!
More than a dozen ghoul rats were directly pumped to death.
After three or four times of this long vine, these forty or fifty ghouls have all been sucked to death!
Seeing this, Li Chen turned his head and looked at Mu Yu with some surprise.
This is the first time he has seen Mu Yu make a move, but he didn't expect her strength to be quite good.
After Mu Yu smoked the corpse rats to death, he quickly patted his chest with his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
When he saw Li Chen turn his head to look at her, she pointed her finger at these rats, and said with palpitations: "These rats are so scary. ”
Li Chen opened his mouth and said nothing in the end.
Well, rats, you died of ugliness.
The scene in front of them was really a bit bloody and terrifying, so Li Chen and the others didn't go over to take a closer look.
The three of them scanned around, looking for any 'goodies'.
"But don't find the wrong person..."Li Chen thought in his heart.
This place is not far from the Thunder Country, so there should be a lot of people who come here to practice, and it is not impossible for this person to come here if he is not the son of a city lord but another unknown experiencer.
The space in the cave was not large, and Li Chen and the others quickly saw the suspected item after seeing a broken big knife.
It was a palm-sized satin bag, underneath a stone in the cave.
"Muyu, can you use your long vine to bring it over?"
Li Chen, who found the bag, immediately found Mu Yu and suggested.
He didn't want to touch it with his own hands, if something got on it and he ran into it again, it would feel too 'cool'.
"Good. Mu Yu nodded directly in response, and then the imperial envoy Chang Teng took the silk bag to Li Chen and the others, and then directly opened it with Chang Teng, revealing the contents inside.
Li Chen and the three of them looked over.
The first thing that caught his eye was more than 20 round Yuan Qi Crystals, and Li Chen knew the specific number at a glance.
2 purple, 19 red.
"This thing again?"
"This should be a coin, right?"
Li Chen quickly had some guesses.
After all, the appearance of this thing is very close to what kind of gold coins, silver coins and the like, and it is normal for a person who is away from home to have coins in his bag.
I just don't know what the value of these things is.
Li Chen looked at the next item.
It was a brown round token with the word 'Zhou' engraved on it, and a vertical row of small characters engraved on it at the bottom right.
[See the lord of the castle]
Li Chen finally smiled when he saw this.
Looks like you've found the right person.
The last one is a jade pendant, the jade quality is ordinary, there is no aura at all, Li Chen and the others just glanced at it and didn't look at it anymore.
Receiving this thing into the system space, Li Chen and the others took one last look at the cave, and after making sure that nothing was missing, they turned around and left directly.
"Big brother, there's a cave here, should we go in and have a look. ”
Just as the three of them were about to leave the cave, a woman's voice suddenly came into the cave from outside the cave.
Li Chen and the others raised their eyebrows, and then without pausing, they continued to walk out towards the entrance of the cave.
......
Outside the cave.
The female cultivator in the Wang Luo mercenary group looked at this cave and then at Wang Luo.
"Big brother, shall we go in?" the woman asked.
Wang Luo carefully looked inside and outside the cave several times, and then nodded slowly.
"This cave does look like something is wrong, it looks like there are signs of a fight, let's go in and have a look. ”
"Good. ”
"Yes. ”
The other tall and thin men nodded.
Step ~ Step ~ Step ~ Step ~ Step ~
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the cave, which was not only clear but also very gentle, and you could hear that the people walking seemed to be calm.
But the people outside were shocked.
"Anyone?"
They immediately took out their weapons and were vigilant!
Soon.
A white-skinned hand lifted the climbing vines at the entrance of the cave, and then came out of the cave one by one.
It is Li Chen, Mu Yu and Gou Wuving.
"See you again. ”
Li Chen, who had just walked out, saw the tall man among the four at first glance and greeted him with a smile.
"Uh... You're good too. ”
The tall man was stunned for a moment by this greeting, and when he came to his senses, he just responded in embarrassment.
"You guys are on that path?" Wang Luo looked at the clothes of Li Chen and the others, and first asked cautiously.
"We?" Li Chen said, "We're here to carry out a mission." ”
"Mission, can you tell me what the mission is?"
"It's inconvenient to tell you. ”
"Good...... Can you tell me what's in this cave? We're here on a mission. He asked.
"What's ...... in the cave" Li Chen looked at him for a while, and suddenly smiled, "There is only one corpse surnamed Zhou in the cave." ”
The faces of Wang Luo and the three mercenaries around him instantly became extremely ugly.
Truncated!
