The wind and sand are boundless, and the wind and sand in the dark sky are still roaring not far behind Chiyun.

Chiyun lowered his head and shook off the sand on his head, and then looked at the strip of cloth hanging on the dead wood fossil, waving in the wind in the gloomy wind.

Under the blazing flames on the torches, you can see that it is a rough strip of linen cloth, and most of the clothes and trousers worn by the ghosts of Huangquan are sewn from this linen.

Looking at the red clouds that had been pondering for a long time, he had probably guessed how Xiao Shizhu had passed through this vast quagmire.

In Chiyun's imagination, Xiao Shizhu must have jumped forward among the dead wood and fossils in the quagmire. It's exactly the same guess, there's no difference.

As for the strip of cloth he saw, it was obvious that when Xiao Shizhu and his ghost soldiers jumped on the dead wood fossil, some daredevils accidentally let their pants or clothes be hung by hard branches, and then they were torn.

But Xiao Shizhu survived in a desperate place in the swamp and found a way to live, which Chiyun never expected.

Not only him, but the other Huangquan ghost soldiers and ghost generals who were responsible for chasing and intercepting Xiao Shizhu didn't think of any of them.

"He really went in, so what are we going to do?" Chiyun's lieutenant stood side by side with him, looked left and right and saw the wind and sand not far away, and hurriedly asked: "The wind and sand are still so strong, we can't follow Xiao Shizhu's madman and enter this hundred-mile swamp." ”。

The adjutant general retracted his gaze and looked directly at the hundred-mile swamp in front of him, and all he remembered in his mind were the legends of monsters in the swamp that he had heard the old ghosts mention many, many years ago.

Of course, the monster is not just a legend, at least the ghost that entered, whether intentionally or unintentionally, failed to come back. The monster that had been heard of but never seen had already imprinted an indelible fear in the hearts of the ghosts of Huangquan.

Chiyun's lieutenant didn't plan to enter this boundless swamp with Xiao Shizhu. Xiao Shizhu is crazy, this general can't be crazy.

It's good to be alive, this is the strongest thought in Vice Admiral Chiyun's heart.

At the same time, they were secretly praying, praying that Chiyun would not order them to enter the swamp.

Once 'his wish is granted', Chiyun's lieutenant intends to kill himself on the spot with his sword. He would never want to give the monsters in the swamp a snack between his teeth.

"Signal the army, march along the edge of the swamp, first west and then north. After a moment's thought, Chiyun said to his adjutant, "There is no wind and sand within a few feet of the edge of the swamp, so we will march along these few feet." Without wind and sand, we can be twice as fast. ”。

His adjutant immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and silently thanked God and Earth in his heart, thanking Chiyun for being afraid of a swamp and not ordering them to go to the swamp to take risks.

"No. The lieutenant answered, and happily went to give the order.

Chiyun was still standing in place, staring at the vast swamp and smiling coldly.

The swamp was dangerous, even if Xiao Shizhu set off a day earlier than him and entered the swamp, it was impossible for him to reach the north shore now.

In the swamp, Chiyun thought that Xiao Shizhu couldn't get up fast even if he wanted to.

And he marched along the edge of the swamp where there was no wind and sand, and his command was all elite cavalry, and there was no wind and sand to hinder him; Chiyun thought that he would definitely be able to reach the north bank of the swamp before Xiao Shizhu. Thinking about this, Chiyun's heart surged......

The flames pierced the darkness and illuminated the underground passages, and the flames turned the top of the cave walls dark.

Under the swamp, the secret passage, which had been silent for thousands of years, once again ushered in the patronage of the ghosts.

Xiao Shizhu took all the ghosts who were willing to follow him and entered it. In the originally dead secret passage, it suddenly became lively.

The noise resounded through the secret passage, and it didn't go away for a long time, and it brought a burst of echoes.

All the ghosts of Huangquan were shocked by what they saw.

They never dreamed that under the hundred-mile swamp that they had been afraid of, there was such a secret passage that had been hidden for tens of millions of years. It's also very safe.

There is no cannibalistic quagmire here, no sun scorching. Along the way, I didn't encounter any man-eating monsters.

Moreover, the four walls of the tortuous secret passage are all polished and smooth, without edges and corners. It seems to be airtight, but in fact there are imperceptible vents and exhaust holes that make up for the dead wood fossils that stand on the mud pools in the swamp outside the cave.

In addition to the darkness of this underground secret passage, there is no suffocation of air circulation.

What surprised the ghosts of Huangquan was not only these, but also that this secret passage had existed for tens of millions of years, and after so many vicissitudes of life, it had not collapsed or collapsed.

Every inch of the rock wall is still new and strong.

The ghosts of Huangquan who walked in it were all surprised. As he walked, he looked around left and right, and the curiosity and surprise in his eyes did not dissipate for a long time. also talked about it while walking, Xiao Shizhu found this secret passage in this way.

has been at the forefront of the team, responsible for exploring the way for the ghosts is Xiao Shizhu. They were followed by Nulu and Cassia Stone.

The female squire glowed with an egg-sized flame in her palm as she walked, looking around at the rock walls around her. After a long time, he said to Xiao Shizhu: "My lord, the rock wall here has a lot of protective talismans and prohibitions engraved on the rock wall every other distance. Thousands of years later, they're still functioning normally, so it's no wonder that they haven't collapsed at all. Everything is as it was before. ”。

As she spoke, the female girl's eyes flashed with admiration, admiration for the Xihuang who built this place.

"All the details have been taken into account, and I have to say that the wisdom of the ancient gods is really beyond our imagination. Cassia Shi agreed.

They were chattering and a little noisy along the way. And the reverberations in the secret passage are even more harsh. But the two ghosts were still in high spirits and kept talking.

Xiao Shizhu was not as excited as them, he kept his eyes on the front, and walked quickly with his sword raised.

They have been walking in this secret passage for more than three hours, and they have not yet seen the end and exit. The twists and turns of the secret passage do not seem to be visible to the shoulders at all. But now, these ghost soldiers have already passed the place that Xiao Shizhu explored before, and he doesn't know what the road from behind looks like. He had always been wary of the path ahead that was immersed in darkness.

Although judging from everything he has experienced so far, the ghost who called himself Huangquan did not lie to him. Moreover, there are indeed traces of the ancient gods here, but Xiao Shizhu has always kept an eye on it, and he doesn't dare to believe the words of the Yellow Spring.

Unless he really took advantage of this to escape, he would fully believe Huang Quan's words.

"Father-in-law, I see that the soldiers behind me are also tired. Shi Cianming looked back, and several soldiers a foot away behind him were a little panting, and the beads of hot sweat and sweat oozing from his forehead and face were flashing in the firelight, and then he suggested to Xiao Shizhu: "Why don't we let them rest and rest." ”。

When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he stopped. Since they entered here, they have been walking until now.

Xiao Shizhu turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him, who also stopped, and nodded and shouted without thinking too much: "Rest in place." ”。

The soldiers had to make the latter cheerful, and after passing down his orders one by one, they sat down on the spot and rested.

The three-hour march was indeed a bit exhausting. If it weren't for the fact that they were all warriors, they would have some foundation. These three hours can tire them out.

Being able to sit down and rest is also a luxury for the ghost soldiers in the dark tunnel. After a while, a few ghost soldiers leaning against the rock wall took a nap, and the sound of snoring came from time to time, breaking the silence in the secret passage.

Xiao Shizhu was also a little tired, he leaned against the rock wall and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Now he is incomparable to before, even if the Xuan Power is still there, he has become a lot weaker with little ghost life left. This section of the road kept going down step by step, and the back of his robe and the armpits were already soaked. The energy in the body is also being consumed in large quantities.

After closing his eyes for a long time, Xiao Shizhu's physical strength recovered a lot, he also sat on the ground, stretched his legs hard, and then untied the kettle, and after taking a sip of water, he shook the kettle gently.

Listening to the sound of water in the kettle, you know that you are running out of water.

Although when they left the pass at the edge of the swamp, their line was filled with their own water bottles. Xiao Shizhu also asked thousands of soldiers to march with buckets full of clean water. But after a long march, the consumption of water storage is not small. If they continue to consume like this, it won't take half a day for their water storage to run out.

Xiao Shizhu feels that it is imperative to find a water source to replenish the water storage.

But in this cavernous passage, they have never seen anything but winding passages and smooth rock walls, and it is not easy to get water. After thinking about it, Xiao Shizhu still felt that it was better to go out quickly. According to what Huang Quan told him, the exit was not far from the passage. When the time comes, they can quickly enter the passage and go to the Netherworld.

So, after covering the kettle, he stood up and said to the female Lu and Shi Cassia beside him, "You go with me to explore the way." ”。

Shi Cassia nodded with the female leader and stood up.

"Rest in place, be on guard, and wait for us to come back. After Shi Cianming explained a sentence to the ghost soldiers behind him, he caught up with Xiao Shizhu, who had already walked a few steps forward, together with the female leader.

The footsteps that echoed in the empty secret passage gradually drifted away, and Xiao Shizhu and the others quickly walked out of a distance of hundreds of zhang, away from the ghost soldiers behind them.

After walking for another half an hour, after they walked forward for a few hundred zhang, Shi Cianming couldn't help but be curious again, and asked Xiao Shizhu tirelessly: "Father-in-law, where is the bottom of the exit of this secret passage?" After coming in, I forgave a few laps, and I couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. Are we really going all the way north?".

"That's right. Xiao Shizhu replied casually, and all his attention was focused on the front where his eyes had been staring.

Not far in front of me, in the darkness where the firelight could not shine, I don't know what it is. But Xiao Shizhu has never dared to let down his vigilance.

Then, after they turned a corner again, the female girl frowned, listened attentively for a moment, and said to Xiao Shizhu: "Lord, do you hear it? There seems to be a sound of water ahead." ”。

After Xiao Shizhu listened attentively, he also vaguely heard the sound of water flowing in the distance ahead.

The voice is very soft, and I can't really hear anything if I don't concentrate.

"There is water. This thought flashed through Xiao Shizhu's mind, and his steps also quickened, and as he searched for the sound, Xuan Li injected the Moon Destroying Sword drawn from the scabbard.

The sword body with flickering cold light flashed with white light after the injection of Xuan power. It illuminated the area around Xiao Shizhu about three or five feet.

"It can't be an underground river, right?" Shi Cassia, who had walked for a long time before hearing the sound of water, guessed.

"I don't know, it's possible. Xiao Shizhu, who was walking in front, replied casually, and wondered in his heart again.
