readx;? Feng Ruochen and the others are also confused, although this cave is beautiful, but what kind of danger is hidden behind this beauty, everyone does not dare to speculate, it is best to be able to figure it out clearly, I heard that Yang Jing has figured out the facts, and everyone immediately gathered around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏく．

Seeing the stone steps that extend down obliquely, everyone is more sure that there are definitely people living in this cave, and they can't hide the joy in their hearts.

And Yang Jing was half-squatting next to the stone steps, in front of him was a stone bamboo tube that was split in half, this stone was like white marble, and it was shining with a little starlight, it was actually made of stalactites condensed!

"How can there be a bamboo tube? Could it be the vessel they use to hold water?" Lu Baiyu couldn't help asking, but Yang Jing shook his head.

"It's not a bamboo tube... It's armour..."

"Arm armor?!!! do you mean that the people here use these ginger stones to make armor?" Wang Buliu was also surprised.

This ginger stone is also a stalactite, also known as a stone stalactite, in fact, it has been used in medicine very early, and it is recorded in Shennong's Materia Medica and other classics, and it is also a medicinal material for the alchemy of people who cultivated truth in ancient times.

Wang Buliu has never been in contact with the way of elixir, and he is naturally no stranger to stalactites, but he has never seen the original stalactites.

"My lord, this ginger stone is also called Tongshi, it is the root of yin, the thing that reaches the yin, the essence of the water stone, the middle is fragile and fragile, light and thin like the pipe of the goose feather, how can it be used to make armor?

Yang Jing saw that Wang Buliu was right, and he couldn't help admiring in his heart, Wang Buliu was a person who had never eaten pork but knew everything about pig running, although he had only seen fine stone stalactites in the medicine guide, but he knew so much about the shape and characteristics of stone stalactites, Wang Buliu really deserved to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

"What Elder Wang said is true, so I think that these people are not making stone armor for defense, but for decoration, Aunt Feng's hidden weapon hit not the stone wall, but this stone armor, the knife that was split earlier, also split on the stone armor, if I guess correctly, under this stone steps, there should be blood stains gradually. ”

As soon as Yang Jing's words came out, everyone was also surprised, he actually used this kind of stone armor as a decoration? Such a simple and original thing, probably only the barbarians in the deep mountains can do it, and the people inside are afraid that it is not easy to provoke!

In fact, Yang Jing was also worried in his heart, firstly, he didn't know anything about the terrain, and secondly, he didn't know more about this mysterious man, and he didn't even see what he looked like, and humans have an innate curiosity and fear of caves, and exploring underground is even more dangerous.

Fortunately, this cave is ventilated and breathable, and there is no need to worry about the lack of oxygen, which is why Yang Jing is a lot more relieved.

And Yang Jing still has one thing that he hasn't said, that is, the inside of the arm armor made of this stone stalactite has a lot of short and thick hairs sticking to it!

These hairs are mixed in the inside of the arm armor, and even integrated into the stalactite, which also shows a problem, these people do not know how to make molds, they directly melt the stalactite, smear it on the body, and wait for the stalactite to harden into armor, or they are like a stone, fixing the arm under the stalactite, letting the water dripping on the body and hand, and the perennial tiredness, then condense the armor.

Of course, if it is the latter, they may have been starved to death, and the stone armor may not be able to condense it, and if it is the former, it means that they have the ability to use stalactites and use stalactites as gypsum, if so, it means that they are not ordinary and barbaric, but have high wisdom!

In either case, it is not optimistic, because it is very difficult to survive in the underground cave alone, so it is very likely that these people live in groups, and this underground may be their gathering place.

And from the fact that this person attacked Feng Ruochen without hesitation, it is enough to show that these people have a strong sense of territory and are full of hostility towards Yang Jing and others, and this underground trip should not be too easy.

Li Zhun and the others also realized this, and when they saw Yang Jing standing up, everyone also cheered up, and their eyes were shining brightly, keeping vigilance.

Yang Jing raised the torch and said to everyone: "If you come, you will be safe, let's go down and take a look, if you can't do it, just quit." ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, Yang Jing took out the bronze ancient knife and walked in front with Wang Buliu, while Song Boren saw that Wang Buliu was old, so he guarded on the side.

After only a few steps, everyone really saw the bloodstains in Yang Jing's prediction, and they dripped on the stone steps, extending all the way down, looking a little gloomy.

The sound of dripping water and wind all around, and the faint sound of water, not only did not make the underground seem lively, but set off the more dead and silent, and the cold air entered the body, making people tremble lightly unconsciously, and it added a little fright.

The stone staircase is like a dug tunnel, twisting and turning, and I don't know where it leads, and under the light of the torches, the stalactites of the stone wall reflect a brilliant light, as if walking in a passage made of spars, if not for exploration, it is enough to make people marvel.

With the blood trail as a guide, everyone remained vigilant and walked around the tunnel, and their hearts became more and more worried.

Because the stone steps under their feet are all large stones one foot square, which have been chiseled and polished, which also reflects that there must be a lot of people underground, otherwise it would be impossible to build such a huge project!

After walking for about half an hour, everyone gradually lost their sense of direction, only Wang Buliu was still looking at the compass from time to time, babbling in his mouth, as if he was calculating something.

Yang Jing only knew that the team had gone down a long way, and the stone steps were generally spiraling downward, and at this time they should have entered below the altitude line, and they were already very deep from the ground.

And the sound of the wind and water in front of him is getting louder and louder, Yang Jing can even feel the strong water vapor in front of him, and he can vaguely hear the sound of the torrent in the east!

The tunnel became more and more open, and the team walked out as if they were walking through the trumpet's mouth, and the blood on the ground had long since broken off, and perhaps the man had stopped the bleeding.

As early as halfway through, the torches were almost burned out, and Yang Jing had also thought about going back the same way, after all, in this underground world, no torches were equivalent to looking for death, and he couldn't gamble with the lives of his companions.

But now that the tunnel is getting more and more open, Yang Jing finally decided to go on.

These torches were originally simple and could not be burned for long, in order to save, Yang Jing asked everyone to extinguish the torches, and led the way in front with the torches.

When he finished burning the third torch, the front finally opened up, but he saw a big river like a crystal dragon roaring in the ground, rumbling down, the waves slapping the stalactites along the coast, blooming crystal waves, beautiful!

And when everyone looked up, but saw that the top of the head was a huge wellhead, as if the stars were collected into this well, the stars were bright and dense, the starlight projected down, the wellhead seemed to have a focused effect, the starlight was concentrated, and scattered projection, the entire underground space was illuminated, after the refraction of the stalactite, the whole underground light was so bright that there was no need for torches!

But it was precisely because they could see it too clearly that Yang Jing and others felt the fear of scalp numbness in amazement!

Because on the wide river beach, there are countless stone armored dwarves, they are not wearing cloth clothes, stalactite armor directly covers the body, except for a messy sticky head that covers the face, other parts can be seen clearly!

Yang Jing's heart was suddenly shocked, and he subconsciously blocked everyone back!

As far as the eye can see, this river beach stretches for two or three hundred meters, and you can vaguely see that on the opposite river beach, there are many such stone armored dwarves walking at will, and the stone wall behind the river beach is full of large and small caves, and there are stone steps connected between the caves, it is conceivable that there are many such stone armored dwarves living in this underground space!

What surprised Yang Jing and the others even more was that there was a three-story lucky boat parked on the river beach, and countless dwarves were carrying the things on the boat, and there were bursts of strange screams!

For some reason, as soon as Yang Jing saw these stone-armored dwarves, the shadows of those murderous dwarf mules appeared in his mind, and Sun Erniang and Shen Tu both looked a little unwilling, which made Yang Jing even more worried.

Could it be that these stone-armored dwarves are all dwarf mule-like species? If so, then this time he really stabbed the hornet's nest, and he stabbed a dozen of them at once!

Yang Jing also saw everyone's shock, and Yang Jing gestured to everyone without hesitation, wanting to return the same way.

But at this moment, the stone-armored dwarves on the river beach all cheered!

"Oops! It's been revealed!" Yang Jing was horrified and was about to leave, but Wang Buliu gently pulled Yang Jing, pressed his hand, and signaled Yang Jing to calm down.

Yang Jing resisted the urge to escape, poked out half of his head, and looked at the river beach, but saw a group of slightly taller dwarves walking over from the other end of the river beach!

These dwarves are like armies, with regular formations and moderate marches, and one of them is wearing rusty armor, holding a simple halberd in his hand, and carrying a treasure knife at his waist, like a general who has come out of the ancient battlefield!

And the warriors behind him were very different from the stone-armored dwarves on the river beach, they were also wearing armor, although the armor was dull, but they also had iron blades in their hands!

The general was followed by a thin old dwarf with a ** upper body, and only some dirty black broken steps on his lower body, and he could clearly be seen covering his arms, with blood stains on his body and legs, which should be the one who was injured by Feng Ruochen!

"They're gathering a team, planning to hunt down and kill us invaders!" Yang Jing couldn't help but be shocked, but when his gaze swept to the general again, Yang Jing's gaze suddenly couldn't take his eyes off!

But I saw the dense stone armored dwarf, carrying a small chariot, the chariot was surrounded by black-clothed warriors, and the chariot was made of pure white jade to form a lotus platform, and there was a fairy in white sitting on the lotus platform, wasn't it the Tianxiang Holy Maiden!

Next to the step of the Tianxiang Holy Maiden, there is a Taoist aunt who will not leave an inch, and it is that Huang Zhenyun!

"It's the White Bull Sect again!"

Yang Jing saw that the dwarf handed Huang Zhenyun's hidden weapon to Huang Zhenyun, and after Huang Zhenyun looked at it carefully, he said something to the Tianxiang Holy Maiden, and then he saw that the general knelt down with the dwarf soldiers, as if he was following the instructions of the Tianxiang Holy Maiden!

Yang Jing couldn't sit still any longer, and urged Wang Buliu: "Elder Wang, if you don't leave, it's too late!"

However, Wang Buliu stared at the river beach deadly, and said to Yang Jing without looking back: "Wait a little longer!"

Wang Buliu squinted his eyes, looked at the Fulou for a long time, and then said to Yang Jing: "My lord, these people have carried down from the ship, in addition to food, there are also weapons and armor, and the White Bull Sect wants these dwarf mules to go up and rebel!"

Yang Jing looked at the countless dwarves, and he was also worried, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Elder Wang's words are wrong, the number of these dwarf mules is indeed considerable, but they are barbaric by nature, it is impossible to obey the command and dispatch, and they use their lives to fill the battlefield..."

Wang Buliu seemed to have expected Yang Jing to answer like this, so he immediately sighed heavily and said to Yang Jing: "The problem is that these are not dwarf mules... They... They... I hope the old man is wrong, otherwise Juzhou and even the entire southwest will not be able to be saved!"
