Under the mountain, in the underground more than 100 zhang deep.

A furry little beast hovers its nose and wanders around in the rubble deep underground.

After a while, the beast's body found a small hole, and through a barrier that seemed to exist, it burrowed in.

Once inside, the little beast seemed to have received another command, raised its claws, and dug straight upwards.

The soil under this mountain has been very hard for many years, and there are many stones mixed in it, even if the little beast is very good at making holes, it took a lot of effort to open a passage from the ground to the surface.

Click-la-la-la.

In an unknown cave, it was pitch black and lifeless, and at this moment, on the ground in a radius of more than ten zhang in this cave, there was a sudden sound of the earth cracking.

I saw that a small beast with a rat head and rat brain broke through the thick layer of soil, came out, looked at the situation in the cave with a pair of curious round eyes, and squeaked twice.

There was no echo in the cave, and the little beast slowly crawled out of the passage it had just opened, prostrate on the ground, sniffing the nearby scents back and forth.

When he was sure that there was nothing out of the ordinary, the little beast landed on its feet and stood up, its head held high and squeaked.

Soon, a streamer flashed, and a delicate girl in black clothes and white hair appeared beside it out of thin air.

"Squeak."

After the white-haired girl came out, the little beast raised two mud-stained claws, gently placed them on the girl's legs, and tugged at her clothes, as if asking for something.

"Okay, I'll give you fruit to eat."

The white-haired girl who suddenly appeared here just wanted to observe the situation around her, but she had to take out a red fruit from her bosom and stuff it into the arms of the little beast at her feet, "Well, after eating, remember to check around to see if there is anything special." ”

As she spoke, she untied the thin thread wrapped around the little beast's body, and took the quaint jade pendant at one end of the thread into her arms.

After doing this, the white-haired girl turned around and muttered to herself, "Woo, why is it so dark here?"

Sighing, she took out a round glass bead from the cloth bag around her waist, and after injecting spiritual power into it, the bead quickly emitted a warm white light, illuminating this small cave world.

"Hey, that's."

As the light of the beads shone into every corner, a strange scene in the southeast corner of the cave attracted the attention of the white-haired girl.

She stepped forward with the bead in her hand, cautiously approaching.

When she got closer, the white-haired girl was shocked to find that it was actually a white skeleton in old clothes.

She was startled, and took two steps back like a bunny.

After jumping away, the white-haired girl soon summoned the little furry beast and drove the little beast that was still gnawing on the red fruit to the skeleton that I didn't know who left behind.

"Squeak."

Compared to someone's rat gall, this little furry beast, which was no more than two feet tall, was surprisingly bold.

I saw that after receiving the order, it was not afraid, and while gnawing on the fruit, it swaggered towards the bones, as if it did not take the other party in its eyes at all.

"Squeak."

In a matter of moments, the furry little beast walked up to the skeleton that was sitting on the stone platform, and with its agile body, it jumped lightly, jumped onto the stone platform with a click, and then circled the skeleton a few times.

After making its rounds, it turned its head to face its distant master and nodded spiritually, "Squeak." ”

"Is it really okay? Isn't there a mechanism or something? The white-haired girl still didn't dare to lean forward, and asked from afar.

"Squeak."

The furry beast gave a clear answer.

"Whew."

At this moment, the white-haired girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her chest that was rising and falling due to tension with her hand, and gradually calmed down.

"That's good."

After all, she was still a young girl, and when she suddenly saw a dead man's bones in such a confined cave, it was definitely impossible to say that she was not afraid at all, and she was already very courageous if she didn't turn around and escape.

After calming down, the white-haired girl started her thoughts, thought about it carefully, and said in her heart:

"How can there be a skeleton here, could it be that the owner of this ancient cultivation cave mansion left it after sitting here?"

With this confusion in mind, she mustered up her courage and stepped forward to the stone platform where the skeleton was.

The white-haired girl raised the bead in her hand and looked at the bones on the stone platform, and quickly confirmed the matter.

"Judging by his clothes, he seems to be a Taoist priest before his death, and there are no traces of fighting and bruises on his body, so he should really sit down naturally here after Shouyuan is exhausted."

"I don't know what kind of cultivation this ancient monk senior was during his lifetime, and the monk who can arrange such a powerful formation here will definitely not be in the Qi training period."

"Whew, I broke in so rashly. Is it a grave digger? It seems a little unethical."

The white-haired girl muttered to herself silently, and a pair of sensitive eyes pondered back and forth on the bones of the ancient cultivator in front of her, "But, since you are here, if you return empty-handed, wouldn't it be in vain to make such a big hole?"

She had never done such a thing as a tomb robbery before, and today was the first time, and for a while she didn't know where to start.

The bones and heads on the stone platform had empty eyes, and the white-haired girl subconsciously avoided her gaze, not daring to look directly at her.

She always felt that the other party was staring at her, as if questioning her arrival, and at this moment her whole body seemed to be crawling with ants, very uncomfortable.

Just let the other party look at herself, the white-haired girl was really embarrassed, and couldn't help but scratch her gray hair with her hand, and whispered:

"Seniors, seniors, today's juniors suddenly visited, and they came in a bit of a hurry, and they didn't bring any gifts with them. Look at how I have some fruit here to honor you, although the thing is not very valuable, but it is also a piece of the heart of the younger generation, don't be surprised by your old man."

Fortunately, there is no one here, otherwise if she is seen talking to herself to a dead man's bones here, most of them will think that she has gone wrong in her practice, and she will be stunned.

The white-haired girl piled a handful of fruits on the stone platform, and continued:

"Senior, don't you know, there is a group of tomb robbers digging holes outside your cave mansion now, and when they come in, they will definitely smash all kinds of treasures you treasure. I thought, instead of that, it's better to hand over the treasure to the junior for safekeeping."

“.” Gu Xiu's bones were hollow, and he sat there without moving.

"Don't worry, the juniors are just keeping it for you, and they won't be greedy. If you need it one day, just let me know, and the junior will send it to you, I can guarantee you this matter, and the seniors can rest assured! ”

“.” Gu Xiu's bones were silent.
