Volume 1 The Rebirth of the Hidden Dragon Chapter 11 The Mass Grave
There is an inconspicuous garden in Mingde Fang, but it is surrounded by the secret sentinels of the Paradise Sect, which seems to be calm, but once it approaches, it will immediately become a target for killing.
The pond had dried up due to the drought, revealing a hole that had now been dug to form a sloping downward passage.
"Childe's illness has not healed, but it will be handled by Yun Ye at this time, and we will wait here for good news, Yun Ye should be more careful." Qin Renpu took Yun Hao to the side of the passage and handed Yun Hao a luminous stone.
The fluorescence emitted by the luminous stone is limited, but it is enough to provide a ten-step view in the tunnel, and the soil layer in the first half of the passage is relatively new, and the further down you go, the soil color is much darker, and it is not excavated at the same time.
Further down, a number of corpses were found, and it was confirmed that they were from the Paradise Sect by their clothes, so it can be seen that they were in a hurry to flee for their lives after noticing something unusual.
It is also in this section of the tunnel that the skeletons appear from time to time on the cave wall, and the more skeletons are embedded in the soil the further back, the more skeletons are embedded, this is obviously a mass grave, but how can there be such a corpse pit in Baiyun City that can only be found in ancient battlefields?
The strange thing is that judging from the color of most skeletons, the burial time should be within ten years, which is even more unreasonable, it may be possible to say that Baiyun City was built on the ancient battlefield, but from the perspective of time, it is after the city was built, and it seems that the strangeness is worth playing.
"The corpse poison in Wen Huaiyu's house was triggered here, some people buried the poisoned people alive as nourishment, and the resentment of the people who were killed by the pit made the corpse poison ferment and finally seep into the soil, but the purpose of doing so did not achieve the purpose of actively harming people, it was more like a kind of protection." The Nine Shadows Ancestor analyzed.
Yun Hao said: "If there is an ancient tomb below, it does not match the time of the layout here, since it is not the owner of the tomb, it is the arrangement made by the latecomers who do not want the tomb to be excavated, so the treasure should still be in the tomb, and it seems that it is not a trip in vain." ”
Jiuyou Ancestor said: "Although the words are good, I think it's not so simple, because the deity didn't perceive the aura of the immortal tomb, but faintly felt the demonic aura. ”
Continuing down, the tunnel has become spacious, and the traces of manual excavation can be clearly seen in the tunnel in the front section, but there are no signs of man-made in the second half, but it is not a natural formation, it can only be said that someone has dug through a long-standing underground structure.
As he penetrated deeper into Yun Hao's hand, the luminous stone was already difficult to function, as the place he was in was already beyond the range of light within ten steps.
"Old ghost, what can you see?"
The Nine Shadows Ancestor said quietly: "The deity has seen the 'Immortal Tomb', the Immortal Tomb with a demonic spirit!" ”
This is a huge underground cave, and there are many large and small tunnels around the caves, and Yun Hao can only be regarded as one of the tunnels.
In the middle of the cave is a strange structure made of earth, which is made of large semicircular crusts, densely layered and shaped like a bunch of inverted grapes.
If the immortal tomb mostly refers to this strange building, since it has come, how can there be a reason to retreat, Yun Hao came to the side of the outermost crust and only patted it, the texture of the crust is still very hard, "What is this?" ”
"It's the nest of the Earth Devouring Beast, this is not an immortal tomb at all, the surname Wen has been deceived, you should hurry up or there will be trouble." The Nine Shadows Ancestor also remembered a legend he had heard.
It is said that this kind of monster that lives deep underground, they are afraid of sunlight but like warmth, and often build their nests near the earth fire, and survive by absorbing the heat of magma, and their fierce and aggressive nature is a very terrible variety of monsters.
When building a nest, the Earth Devourer will wrap its body in thick mud, and then curl up and gather to burn the shell of the nest with the heat of the earth fire in its body, which is very similar to the grape-shaped building in the cave, so the Nine Elders will speak out as a warning.
But the warning came a little too late, and from the surrounding cave walls came the sound of sharp claws rubbing against the soil layer, and its movement was as loud as hail hitting the ground, and the sound of "bang" was endless.
The dark cavern was lit up by red flecks of staring, as if countless pairs of blood-red eyes were staring at the intruder.
The adult Earth-Eater Beast God is one foot long and has a hundred legs, and the two huge claws in his mouth can divide gold and gravel, and these spots of light are the fire marks left by the Earth-Eater Beast's perennial absorption of earth fire in the carapace.
It was too late to retreat, the entrance that had been blocked by the hordes of Earth Eaters, the piercing grinding sound on the cave walls had disappeared, and the Earth Eaters were surging towards Yun Hao in a hurry.
In the face of the earth-devouring beasts that came from all directions, the Nine Shadows Ancestor rolled up the black mist and wrapped it around Yun Hao's body like a gauze coat, and the black fog spread outward like ripples around Yun Hao, and the color of the black fog that spread out turned red, which was the Nine Shadows Ancestor's martial arts killing move.
Blood Killing: The Blood Sea is Deep!
In front of the blood wave formed by the aura, the Earth Eater Beast was shot out like a fish and shrimp, and after the attack weakened, it was divided into several sections, and the rest of the Earth Eater Beast was immediately entangled with each other and wrapped into a huge sphere to attack again.
Although the power of the blood wave is not small, it can only knock out a few layers of earth-devouring beasts in the outer circle at a time, and the shrinking of the sphere cannot stop it from advancing, but Yun Hao has become a little weak, "Old ghost, what kind of martial arts are you, how can this gentleman think that he is hurting people with this!" ”
"Of course, blood killing must consume blood qi, if you weren't too weak, these earth-devouring beasts would have been solved long ago." The Nine Shadows Ancestor was still quite dissatisfied.
Seeing that the sphere composed of the earth devouring beast was getting closer and closer, Yun Hao could only climb up the layers of nest shells to avoid temporarily, and the more he climbed up, the more serious the aging of the earth shell became, and he was in danger of sinking at any time when he stepped on it.
Before he could climb to a high place, the Earth Devouring Beast ball slammed into the nest shell, and for a while the earth shell shattered and the Earth Devouring Beast also scattered, looking at the Earth Devouring Beast that writhed its arthropods and jumped up, Yun Hao's scalp was a little numb, "I didn't expect Ben Jun to feed the insects today." ”
"Not really." The Nine Shadows Ancestor once again emitted several black mist, whipping the Earth Eaters that swam up like whips, a round of violent whipping that caused the stumps of the Earth Eaters to fly in all directions, and the smell of blood stimulated them to fight for food and mess with each other.
They can eat each other!
This can be said to be an unexpected joy for Yun Hao, and he was thinking about how to use the characteristics of the Earth Devouring Beast, and the soil shell under his feet couldn't bear the weight and shattered!
Without support, Yun Hao fell directly into the crust, and when it touched the bottom of the lower layer, the crust was crushed because it could not bear it, and then smashed through and then fell down, this nest was like a honeycomb layer after layer.
I don't know how many layers I smashed through, and finally stopped and it seemed that I had reached the bottom, and before I could check the injury, the Nine Shadows Ancestor floated down from above and shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”
Years of fighting in front of the battle made Yun Hao's instinctive reaction extremely fast, and with just one roll dodge, he felt a huge object whizzing by his side, although he was not directly hit but was overturned by the swept wake again.
After Yun Hao got up and stabilized his body, he heard the sound of a hundred claws scratching the ground again, and when he looked closely, he found that it was an earth-devouring beast dozens of times larger than an adult earth-devouring beast, and the giant beast's body was too large to be able to strike a blow, and he was twisting his body and planning to attack again!
