Chapter 139: Finding the Entrance
With the rupture of the isolation formation, Xiao Niannian finally sensed the tracking spell again.
Presumably, it was because she broke the formation, causing the caster to be counterattacked, and there was no extra spiritual power to hide her tracking spell.
After determining the direction, Xu Gongran recalled the officials again, and the group went deeper and deeper.
This time they were unimpeded, and the road was much easier.
It didn't take long for them to find the location of the tracking charm.
But in front of him was just an empty mountain field, only a few thorns and dry yellow dead grass, and no one was in sight.
Xiao Niannian sensed it carefully, and the location of the tracking spell was indeed here.
"I said Little Ancestor." Xu Gongran leaned his head up, "Is your tracking spell good?" We were brought to such a desolate place, and we didn't see anyone......"
Xiao Niannian stretched out his finger and pointed to his feet.
Xu Gongran suddenly realized, "You mean, those people are hiding underground?" ”
Xiao Niannian nodded.
The terrain here is high and the underground space is large, which is very suitable for digging a cave or something.
And hiding in a cave makes it easier to hide from people's eyes, and even if someone comes, they won't be discovered.
"It's worthy of a little ancestor, and I thought of the key point so quickly." Xu Gongran patted Xiao Niannian's ass, and then commanded the officials to dig the ground.
"You guys, come here and dig the ground, and you want to dig up this place if you say anything! I'd like to see what those people are doing in the ground! ”
Xiao Niannian looked at Xu Gongran speechlessly, if it weren't for her lack of height, she would have to give him a burst.
"You don't seem stupid, why do you dig up here, won't you go to find the entrance?!"
"Besides, they are digging a hole underneath, and it must be very deep from the ground, and you may not be able to dig it until tomorrow."
Xu Gongran laughed dryly twice, and embarrassedly picked up a handful of white rabbit fur in his arms.
"Yes, yes, what the little ancestor said makes sense."
As he spoke, he commanded the officials again, "Well, you guys, let me go to find the entrance to the cave nearby, remember, be cautious, don't startle the snake." ”
More people is more power.
It didn't take long for a servant to come and find a hidden cave entrance in the distance.
Xiao Niannian and the others hurriedly went over to check and found that there was indeed an inconspicuous small cave hidden in the bushes.
Although it was very hidden, Xiao Niannian still found traces of human activity around the cave.
It seems that the entrance to the cave is here, yes.
After determining the entrance, Xu Gongran ordered the officials to hide nearby and not show up, and planned to explore the road first.
He and Xiao Niannian both have mana and can go first to explore the truth and reality.
So many people went in together, but they startled the snake and attracted the attention of others.
It is also better to leave the troops outside so that it is easier to meet them.
"You take refuge in the woods over there, and you come back when I give the signal."
"Yes!" The officials whispered yes and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Xiao Niannian also agreed with Xu Gongran's plan, and quietly took out an invisibility talisman from the space and handed it to Xu Gongran.
This was painted by her in the early hours of this morning, and she didn't have enough spiritual power to paint it if she wanted to.
I have to say that with the power of Nuwa, it is much more convenient to do anything.
It's just that this is the first time she has drawn a talisman, and she doesn't know if it's good or not.
Xu Gongran took Xiaobai into his arms, and excitedly took the talisman and pasted it on his head.
It was the first time he had come into contact with a talisman as high-level as a talisman.
Not everyone can do a powerful spell like this.
He is a peacock essence, which is usually not touched at all.
This time, he finally saw the legendary invisibility talisman, how could he not be excited.
Xu Gongran finished pasting the charm, turned around in place, and said to Xiao Niannian excitedly: "Little ancestor, take a look at me, how is it?" Am I invisible?! ”
Xiao Niannian looked at Xu Gongran, whose upper body was hidden and the lower half of his body was still exposed, couldn't hold back his smile with difficulty, and then nodded at him and told a white lie.
It's her carelessness, it seems that this invisibility charm is not so simple, next time I have to practice it well.
Xu Gongran thought that he was really invisible, and his self-confidence was bursting, and he walked directly towards the cave.
"Hey......" Xiao Niannian wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, forget it.
Anyway, they have mana, and if they really encounter any danger, they can just do it.
She pulled out another invisibility charm and pressed it to the door of her head.
She was short, and the invisibility charm was just right for her body, hiding all of her figure.
Carefully picking through the bushes, the two of them slowly walked into the cave.
As soon as they stepped into the cave, they smelled a foul smell.
Xiao Niannian hurriedly took out the sugar gourd handkerchief embroidered by her mother to cover her mouth and nose, and then she felt better.
The inside of the cave was very dim, and by the light of the cave entrance, it was barely possible to see the inside.
When they first entered, it was a long and narrow passage, and the two of them walked along the passage, all the way unimpeded.
Xiao Niannian walked and felt the dissipated spiritual power breath, which was exactly the same as the spiritual power breath of the previous isolation formation.
It seems that there was also an isolation formation here before, and it was only because the caster was counterattacked that the formation was broken.
If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been able to find this place.
It's no wonder that there is no one guarding inside and outside the cave, there is an isolation formation, if there is no permission from the person who casts the spell, the people outside can't get in, the people inside can't get out, and there is no need for anyone to watch at all.
Further inside, the end of the passage suddenly opens up to a large cave.
As soon as she entered, Xiao Niannian felt a chill rushing to her face, making her shiver.
There were several holes in the top of the cavern, and the sunlight was shining through them, and she used the sunlight to look at the dim cavern.
"There's someone there!"
Xu Gongran pointed around the cave and exclaimed.
Around the stone wall, there are boxy iron cages.
Inside most of the iron cages, there was a person shrunk.
The iron cage was pitch black, small and narrow, and people couldn't stand up straight inside, so they could only squat in it.
There are dozens of these iron cages, to say the least, and there are not a few people who are detained.
But everyone was lifeless, squatting motionless in the cage, without a trace of life.
Xu Gongran made a sound, and no one raised his eyes to look at him.
Xiao Niannian walked around the cave and saw that the people in the cage were all skinny, and even a small child was also locked in the cage.
She found the bandit she had released back into the mountain yesterday, the thief was curled up in a cage with his eyes closed, covered in blood, and looked like he had passed out.
In an inconspicuous corner, there was a bunch of something.
Xiao Niannian walked over, and at the same time felt more and more cold.
When she looked closer, she realized that they were bones stacked on top of each other.
At the bottom are the bones that have been decomposed, and the middle layer looks half rotten.
The corpse on the top layer looked like it had just died.
No wonder she smelled a strange smell as soon as she came in, but she didn't expect it to come like this.
The bones are stacked very high, and it seems that many people have died here.
She endured her physical discomfort and silently took a few steps back, and at the same time, the bone-chilling cold was a little less.
There is no wind and no water here, it is still inside the cave, how can it be so cold.
Xiao Niannian looked at the pile of corpses in the corner again, and instantly figured out the key.
What made her chill was the resentment emanating from these corpses.
