Chapter 163: The Strange Beast's Lair

As the mace fell, the stone looked around vigilantly, and there was no sound around it, but there was a strange place, and the more it fell, the more it felt that the temperature around it seemed to slowly rise.

After descending some distance, the stone body shook, and he saw a small stone cave on the stone wall not far below, and in the cave there were two small shining and deep eyes, and when he looked closer, it was a mouse the size of a palm.

With a sigh of relief in my heart, I continued to fall.

However, the next scene was something he never expected.

One, two, three...... In the darkness, the bright and dark light, faint and dark, slowly brightened up and around them. In the darkness, there seemed to be countless low gasps, and there seemed to be a low roar in the depths of the darkness.

Although the top of the black stone cave seems to be a barren land, there is no life, but below this cliff, deep into the ground where there is no daylight, there are countless creatures that surprisingly and unexpectedly multiply here.

Shocked in his heart, suddenly the stone's eyes lit up, and in a stone cave in front of him, he saw Li Qingyun's figure, and there was a creature suspected of being a cat next to him.

I didn't have to think about it, and the stone urged the magic weapon to approach.

Li Qingyun looked back at the stone and said, "Senior Brother Shi, you're here." ”

Stone nodded, looking at the creature in front of him, it was indeed a tanuki cat as he thought.

But why do tanuki cats live in this deep underground cave? Aren't they supposed to be napping in thatched huts?

"Senior Brother Li, have you found anything?" The stone looked serious.

Li Qingyun shook his head, looked at the tanuki cat, and said, "It seems that this place has become a lair of wild beasts, has the Black Stone Cave existed for a long time?" ”

Shi Shi thought for a moment and said, "The village chief also said that the Black Stone Cave originally existed, but there were no wild beasts living there, at most there were rats and bats. ”

Li Qingyun said: "In this way, the responsibility for the riot in Xiaochi Town really lies with the three-tailed demon fox, and she brought these beasts in?" ”

The stone shook his head to indicate that he did not know.

The two of them didn't say anything, didn't hurt the tanuki cat, and continued to descend, this time Li Qingyun controlled the landing speed and kept it in sync with the stone.

The darkness seemed to lift the eternal veil in front of their eyes, and with the inexplicable heartbeat, they saw more and more large and small stone caves on the stone wall, and then there was a hole almost a few feet apart.

And in that cave, there are all kinds of strange creatures: small mice, bats, as big as a human high, black apes, leopards, I don't know how they hunt on weekdays?

This was still the animal they had a little impression of before, but after descending a short distance, they were even more stunned to see that there were crabs on the stone wall that were originally born in the water, and this crab also had four pincers; Then there is the six-legged civet cat that looks cute but can't be named, and the two-horned monster with the word 'Wang' on its forehead but looks like a pig, and so on.

Countless eyes, as if converging into a sea of dark light, stared at the two people in the halo.

The more Li Qingyun looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that if this situation was seen by Zeng Shushu of Feng Huifeng, with his love for adopting rare and exotic objects, he was afraid that his mouth would be crooked.

It's just a little strange that the countless creatures around them saw the two of them, but they didn't make any offensive moves, except for a few irritable looking tigers and leopards roared twice, basically there was no movement, just silently watching.

The two of them frowned and continued to descend slowly, and after falling for about another distance of four or five zhang, the number of bioluminescent eyes around them gradually decreased, but it felt that the size of each glowing eye was much larger than what they had just seen.

Li Qingyun glanced at the stone, and the two of them silently approached the edge of the stone wall, and sure enough, with the light of the mace, the two found that the number of holes on the pitch-black stone wall was much less, but the size of each hole was more than twice as large as the top, and almost every hole was high for one person. Correspondingly, the creatures in this cave are also obviously fierce and vicious, almost all of them are quite large, with sharp teeth and fangs, and hideous faces, which makes people feel cold in their hearts.

Looking at such a ferocious beast, Li Qingyun was puzzled: "Why does she want to collect so many beasts to live here?" ”

The stone shook his head, also not understanding.

Puzzled, the two descended a few more feet.

At this time, from the cliff of the Black Stone Cave, they had at least penetrated nearly a hundred zhang deep into the ground, but looking down, this deep and huge black hole, except for the bright light emitted by the eyes of those strange creatures around them, was still deep and invisible.

What is even more different from the previous perception is that under this abyss, instead of feeling cold, on the contrary, the temperature here is much higher than above the surface of the Black Stone Cave, and looking around, it is still pitch black, and there is not even a sign of Martian heat, which is very weird.

The stone controlled his broken staff, and his big hand was like a fan in front of him, and when he slowly descended, he suddenly cursed in his mouth: "Ge Laozi, this dead fox actually found such a strange place to make a nest." ”

Li Qingyun couldn't help but smile when he heard the stone's abrupt complaint, for a tall stone, the temperature here is afraid that he doesn't want to stay for a moment.

Further down, the situation seems to have changed slightly, the hole in the stone wall is still slowly getting bigger, and the creatures inside are larger than those in the stone cave above, and they look bigger than ordinary people. But here, the two unexpectedly found that nearly half of the cave was empty. And in the air, which has always been relatively fresh, there seems to be a faint smell of blood at this moment.

The two of them glanced at each other, and there was a look of wariness in their eyes, but Rao did not slow down their descent.

In the boundless darkness under his feet, there seemed to be something, like starlight, like fire, quietly lit up.

......

Above the abyss, Zhou Zhou Xian and her granddaughter Xiaohuan finally walked to the edge of the cliff where Li Qingyun and the others jumped just now under the light of torches. Looking at this cliff with no way out, as well as the unfathomable bottomless abyss under his feet, Zhou Zhou Xian opened his mouth and was speechless.

Xiaohuan is not very old after all, although he has been wandering the world with his grandfather at a young age, but in this dark and silent black stone cave, he still can't help but feel a little scared in his heart. She glanced at the bottom of the cliff, immediately retracted her head, and whispered to Zhou Xian: "Grandpa, do you have a way to go down?" ”

Zhou Xian's eyes rolled a few times, and he said dejectedly: "We don't know the Dao, and we haven't prepared a rope, so it's bad now." ”

Xiaohuan breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his heart with his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian glared at her and said, "What's good, maybe there are gold and silver mountains and agate jade mountains waiting for us at the bottom, this time, but, but it's a big loss!" He lamented it.

Xiaohuan snorted, picked up the rock sugar gourd held in his right hand, took a bite, and said, "Return the gold and silver mountains, I think maybe the corpse mountain and the bone mountain are waiting for you!" Okay, since we can't get down, let's go quickly. Otherwise, if you run into one or two little demons, you, the thirteenth-generation descendant of the famous Qingyunzi Patriarch, will lose the face of the ancestor again. ”

Zhou Zhou Xian was furious: "Nonsense, what kind of person am I Zhou Xian, how can I lose the ...... of my ancestors"

Before the words fell, suddenly in this silent cave, on the road, from the darkness "instigated" twice, there were two flashes of light, as fast as lightning flashes, and in the blink of an eye, they actually fell in front of the two of them.

Zhou Zhou Xian shouted in surprise, pulled the small ring, stretched out his right hand into his arms, held the yellow paper talisman, and was about to cast a spell and escape.

Unexpectedly, the light shook twice, and two figures appeared, and the movements of the people who came were even faster like ghosts, and before Zhou Zhou Xian took out the paper talisman to cast a spell, he only heard a crisp sound of "hiss", and Zhou Xian's neck was cold, but it was already a thing on the side of his neck, and the cold hairs on his whole body stood up, and he cried out in his heart.
