After Gongjie and the others searched around the periphery of the forbidden place to no avail, Shu Xiaoen took the opportunity to walk all the way to the depths in the dark, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and he tripped over protrusions several times, but fortunately there were a few stout old trees beside him to support him.

But the deeper you go, the more wrong the atmosphere becomes, and it's very different from what you remember.

A building was shrouded in black fog in front of him, and from a distance, the eaves and earthen walls and strangely shaped stone carvings could be faintly seen through the moonlight sprinkled through the cracks in the trees. Shu Xiaoen walked forward for a while, and arrived in front of a ruined temple, when a woman's moaning suddenly came from the dark corner of the temple.

A black mist swirled around the ruined temple, and there was no other sound around it.

Shu Xiaoen stood and listened for a while, as if he had been poured fifteen buckets of cold water, jumping up and down, and only after enduring it did he stabilize his sense of horror, since the incident of the second fool, Shu Xiaoen knew that some things were better than asking for others and asking for himself. I looked around carefully, and although there was no fire, I still noticed something strange by the moonlight.

The front half of the stone beast on the left was smashed, and there was a bloody handprint on the tail, as if someone had once stained his hand with blood, holding the tail of the stone beast and leaving in a hurry.

Shu Xiaoen thought about it for a while, and decided that he still needed to go into the broken temple to see what the source of the sound was? Otherwise, if he ran through the strange forest in this area, and there were some savages and beasts behind him, he was afraid that he would not know how to die tragically at that time.

With the thought in mind, Shu Xiaoen immediately took action, carefully detouring to the narrow path behind another intact stone beast, hiding through the shadow of the stone beast, and listening carefully to the movement in the broken temple while leaning against the wall.

First, his heart was pounding, and then he heard the woman's moans that sounded from time to time inside, which seemed to be unconsciously emitted in a very painful state.

Shu Xiaoen stabilized his mind and asked stubbornly, "Who is inside?"

The air was stagnant, and there was no response for a long time. Shu Xiaoen picked up a dead branch, probably the finger-thick branch didn't have much effect, but it was just holding it in his hand to make him feel a little comforted.

Poke the two dilapidated wooden doors wide open with tree branches, step on the moonlight to enter, and at a glance you can see a standing bronze statue on the incense table in the hall, the facial features are carved very expressively, the eyes are lowered, the corners of the mouth are smiling, and the expression is calm and peaceful. If you look closely, the bronze statue is actually wearing a crown and wearing a robe, and the lines are smooth and delicate.

Shu Xiaoen's eyes were sharp, and he saw a bloody red stain left in the corner of the incense case.

Thinking of a battle that might have happened here before, Shu Xiaoen's heart jumped, and a sense of crisis came to his heart. Sure enough, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy suddenly ran out of the shadow on the left and rushed towards her.

"You demons...... Why do you want to kill my relatives!" the figure shouted, charging at her. I don't know if Shu Xiaoen flashed fast, or the young man was physically exhausted, with a plopping sound, the young man was hit to the ground by inertia, and then lay on the ground and cried.

"You demons!" the boy looked up, crying helplessly, one of his eyes gouged out with a knife, leaving an ugly scar. One hand was also cut diagonally from the left shoulder by a knife, and the scabbed wound poured out as he fell.

The teenager was thin and dark.

Shu Xiaoen was stunned, thinking that there were living people in this forbidden tomb. Glancing at it, there was a figure hidden in the left corner, and a groan of pain rang out from time to time.

Shu Xiaoen was sure that there was no other danger around, so he asked the young man who was lying on the ground crying and scolding, "What happened here?"

"Woo. The young man seemed to have suffered a great blow, and he cried bitterly for a while, and there was also a kind of resignation-like decadence that was silent, until he was tired of crying, and then he raised his head and glared at Shu Xiaoen with one eye, "Who are you?"

Shu Xiaoen remembered some things about Xunhuan from Gong Xunxi, so he replied seriously: "My name is Gong Xunhuan." A few days ago, I was detained for witnessing something in the forbidden cemetery. Now that I'm lost, I want to go in here and hide for a while. ”

The young man didn't expect Shu Xiaoen to answer his question, he was stunned, then lowered his eyes, and said with a lonely expression: "Then you are the same as us." The people in the cell have been killed by the demons, and it won't be long before they come back to kill us. ”

Shu Xiaoen was about to open his mouth to ask who those demons meant, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, it seemed that there were quite a few people, and at this time, the woman in the corner seemed to be frightened, screamed, couldn't get up in one breath, and died stiffly.

The boy noticed it, and looked in the direction of the female corpse with a numb expression. A few days ago, five armored warriors came and took out all the people they were locked up in the dark cell one by one and tortured them in various ways, his father was chopped to death, and others were also passively tortured alive with various torture instruments.

At that time, the boy's left hand was cut off, and he thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, a white-robed man appeared quietly, and then four of the five armored warriors died, and one escaped, and the three of them who were played and tortured escaped by luck, but one of them was seriously injured and died on the spot. The other companion was now scared to death, and in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left.

The boy opened his eyes, dazed and helpless. The sound of footsteps outside gave him a chill. He remembered the previous scenes, where the same people who were also in the cells were dead......

Shu Xiaoen heard the movement outside, and saw that a person had just died here, and this place was by no means a place to stay for a long time, out of pity, she asked in a low voice, "Are you willing to go with me?"

The young man was stunned and said dumbfoundedly, "Where are you going?"

Shu Xiaoen couldn't delay any longer, listening to the movement outside getting closer and closer, the sense of crisis became stronger and stronger, regardless of whether the young man wanted to or not, Shu Xiaoen reached out and grabbed his skinny wrist, dragged him with a belt, and quietly slipped out of the shadow of the stone beast by his shoulder.

A group of no less than ten people walked out from the other end.

Shu Xiaoen pulled the young man to hide behind the wall with bated breath, and slowly retreated quietly against the wall to hide in the shadows.

Under the firelight, Gong Xie and Yu Longhai stood at the front of the team.

Yu Longhai said: "This broken temple is so evil, don't go in." If you're worried, set fire to the ruined temple. ”

Gong Xie listened to it and knew that Yu Longhai had something to say, so he said: "It's just like this." After speaking, with a gesture of his hand, several people behind him rushed forward and threw the torch into the broken temple, which was mostly wood, and quickly burned with a little fire.

Shu Xiaoen originally planned to leave quietly with the young man, but he didn't want the young man to panic under his feet, so he fell to the ground with a thud.

When Gong Xie heard this, he chased after him and shouted, "Follow me!"

The young man knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he hurriedly pushed Shu Xiaoen's hand away and urged: "You go quickly, I can stop them here for a while." ”
