Chapter Twenty-Six: The Rat Tide and the Sea of Fire
Wu Xie didn't know what was happening behind him, he was already under the guidance of Xiao Ash at the moment, and he had been moving quickly along the road, and it didn't take long to arrive at a blue-patterned stone platform, there were four stone pillars around the stone platform, which were carved with the patterns of birds and beasts, and a strange tall bronze container was placed in the stone platform, like a large gourd bottle, more than Wu Xie's head, rusty, and the patterns of double snakes and sacrificial activities were all on it.

Discovering this altar, Wu Xie immediately looked overjoyed, and it seemed that he was already very close to the ancient tomb. Xiao Ash didn't stop, and continued to lead Wu Xie towards the other side of the stone platform, along the stone steps that were ten people wide, winding down and continuing to move deeper.
Hundreds of stone steps, in the past, perhaps because he had to worry about what mechanism layout or possible changes, Wu Xie would spend a lot of time, but now that Xiao Ash led the way, he didn't have to worry about this at all, and soon came to the bottom of the ladder.
At this time, Lao Itch had already entered the stairs with the master who was almost half recovered, Wu Xie could clearly hear the sound behind him, couldn't help but hold his breath, and nervously hid in the shadows on the side.
You Fang is not in a hurry at this time, since Lao Itch has already caught up, then let them rendezvous, Lao Itch's target is undoubtedly the Bronze Tree, and it just happens to let Wu Xie see the true purpose of Lao Itch.
It didn't take long for Wu Xie to see that the person behind him was an old itch, and it was obvious that he had turned against the guest now, and he had changed from being a captive to a captive of others, so he walked out and saw each other.
Lao Itch lied that they were swept away by the torrent before, and Uncle Tai and several other people killed by him didn't know where they were swept away by the current, leaving only this master, who was knocked unconscious in the water, and was swept to a pool with him by mistake.
He had followed those people before, and he had heard from those people that the entrance to the tomb should be found along the iron cable, so he took his master to dive into the waterhole, and then found it all the way here.
Seeing that the two of them had to talk for a long time, You Fang didn't pay attention to the two, but controlled Xiao Ash and began to check the next route.
Not far ahead is a bare black stone beam, and beyond that, there is a cliff.
This landform may be that the where the underground waterway is located is a stepped downward structure, and in some places there have been mountain movements, causing a series of faults to form.
It was pitch black under the cliff, but you could clearly see that more than ten feet below the cliff was a large natural cave, which was densely packed with dry wood-like things, and if you looked closely, you could know that it was all bones, one by one, and in some places it was tired up several layers, there were tens of thousands of bodies.
In the center of the whole cave, about twenty or thirty square meters, was an open space without any corpses, and the open space was sunken downward, a pit.
From this pit, You Fang could already clearly feel the huge soul element and life essence, and it was obvious that the branches of the bronze tree had extended here through the rock formation.
Now that a part of the bronze tree has been found, the next step is simple, controlling Xiao Ash's urging 'squeak', and sure enough, it immediately attracted the attention of the three people, and then, at this time, You Fang no longer had any scruples, and he didn't care about the outsider of the master, three floating charms, let the three of them go down the cliff, and then guided the three of them all the way to the edge of the depression.
In this process, You Fang found that the way these corpses were piled up actually had the effect of confusing people's eyes and disturbing the sense of direction, but for him, the situation of the entire cave was seen by him, and that effect was completely negligible.
At the same time, You Fang also found that with the arrival of Wu Xie and the others, many small creatures in these bones were alarmed, and one of them was close, and he had been hiding behind Wu Xie and them for a short time, but he was afraid of the light emitted by the lighting talisman floating above the heads of the three of them, so he never attacked.
As the three of them continued to go deeper, there were more and more small creatures around them, and more than thirty of them had gathered.
You Fang can clearly see that these guys of the same race as Xiao Ash, each of them is as big as a lynx, compared to these same races, Xiao Gray is completely at the level of a newborn, and it is also the kind of cute attribute.
Seeing that the number of rats in this group was increasing, constantly shortening the distance between them and Wu Xie and others, You Fang knew that this group of rats was about to start, and the old itch who was being targeted had already noticed the abnormality, and his eyes kept peeking around, and when he finally saw those flashing shadows in the dark, he decisively approached Wu Xie: "We are being targeted by something...... Stared. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, in the originally silent pile of bones, perhaps a mouse inadvertently stepped on a dry bone, trampled it off, and made a crisp bone cracking sound, which suddenly fell into the fire oil like a spark, and countless squeaks and bone cracking sounds rang out from all directions.
Then Wu Xie and the others saw that in the pile of bones less than three meters away from them, gray figures flew out from the ground like sharp arrows, rushing towards them, and among the bones a little farther away, ten, hundred, thousand...... Countless gray rats rushed out like a tide, wave after wave, one after another, and the scale could not be described in human language!
Seeing that the three of them were about to be overwhelmed by the rat tide, You Fang was quickly looking for a route, while controlling Xiao Ash, running to Wu Xie's shoulder, and with a lift of his little paw, a golden light talisman appeared in front of it, the golden light shone, and the talisman boiled throughout, turning into a translucent golden light cover, turning the three of them upside down.
The next moment, a burst of 'bang' sounds was heard, hitting the golden light mask, and countless rats rushed forward one after another, and it didn't take long to consume the energy of the golden light rune, and the golden light mask was rapidly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There are a few of these rats alone, and Ash can kill them with a wave of his claws, but this number is really tricky.
In the face of this trendy rat swarm, if You Fang himself is here, naturally there is no problem, but with Xiao Ash alone, it has a strong body, and there is no problem in killing in and out of a few rounds, but if it wants to break through the encirclement with Wu Xie, then even if it exhausts its Yuan Force, it is estimated that it will not be able to kill it all, and then it will have no problem itself, but without Yuan Force, it will not be able to protect Wu Xie's thoughtfulness.
And at this moment, You Fang finally found a passage more than 20 meters away from the three of them.
"Squeak-" Mixed with the countless terrible and hideous rat cries and the sound of a drum's tink, Xiao Ash's voice was still very distinct, Wu Xie had followed Xiao Ash all the way for so long, and he understood Xiao Ash's meaning almost without pause.
Looking at the direction where Little Ash's paws were pointing, he immediately shouted, "Over there, run." ”
Burst!
At this moment, the light shield that wrapped the three people was finally broken, almost at the same time, Xiao Ash picked up from Wu Xie's shoulder, and raised his claws to be two talismans, which were pressed by the two claws, and the next moment, the golden light mask wrapped the three people again, and squeezed the rats that pounced in front of the three people in mid-air, and the other talisman turned into a huge fireball with a diameter of nearly three meters.
At the moment when the fireball appeared, outside the golden light shield, a flame suddenly burst out on the ground below the fireball, and in an instant, it spread along the path between the corpses to form a wall of fire.
The huge fireball was in the direction that Ash had pointed before, like a bulldozer, and all along the way, rats, and corpses, were instantly blasted away, opening up a flame channel, directly pointing to the passage to the bottom that the wandering party had discovered.
And, with the passage of this flame channel, the fire dragons that were originally just spreading along a path suddenly turned into dozens of fire dragons side by side, and with only a few breaths, all the fire dragons converged, and the entire cave completely turned into a sea of fire.
