Chapter Eighty-Four: A False Alarm
The first feeling of entering the cave is an unprecedented oppression, the place as far as the eye can see is red, even the rock wall seems to be stained with blood, exuding a strange atmosphere; first the visual shock, followed by a strong fishy smell, this fishy smell is different from the smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, but like falling into a pit of ten thousand corpses, wrapped in blood and corpse stench.
Before the nostrils could get used to the stench of the cave, the sound of 'coo, coo, ......' sounded in the ears;
The sound was like the gates of hell opening, and the evil spirits that came out of the Fengdu ghost snort were terrifying.
Before seeing the owner of the cave, just the terrifying rendering of sight, hearing, smell, and the trinity of sight, hearing, and smell had already made Shen Mo's heart start to drum, and Marita and Lin Xuanqing beside him also had serious expressions on their faces, which seemed to be the same as Shen Mo's thoughts, and they were full of vigilance against the unknown cave.
As he went deeper, the originally hard ground began to become soft, and even a foot on it would sink directly, and when he squatted down and pinched a small handful of soil in front of his nose and sniffed it, after a short period of stunnedness, he was extremely surprised to find that the soil was filled with extremely thick bloody gas, and the color of the soil was also dark red.
"Could it be...... The ground deep in the cavern is soaked with blood?" said in a silent voice.
Hearing this, Marita also squatted down and pinched a pinch of soil to sniff, and after a while, she said: "That's true, and the blood in the soil doesn't seem to be from the blood demon, but from ordinary humans." ”
"Ordinary humans?" was silent.
Lin Xuanqing next to him seemed to think of something, and said with a solemn face: "When I was caught, in addition to the villagers of Heishui Village, there were many surviving ordinary people in the village, but the next morning, these ordinary people all disappeared, could it be that they were sent here as sacrifices?"
"In other words, all the blood in this soil is from those ordinary people?" Shen Mo frowned, surprised and angry at the same time, those villagers of Heishui Village looked sanctimonious on the surface, but they didn't expect their hearts to be so vicious, and they actually used living people as sacrifices.
And the splash of blood can even soak the ground, indicating that the number of people who died here is definitely a staggering number.
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Shen Mo's mind, and while thinking, he said: "The soil has a strong absorption power, unless the blood flows like a river, the blood will never stay here, and now the soil under our feet has obviously been soaked with blood, which means that some people have died under our feet......"
"Not good!" Shen Mo suddenly found a very serious question, and immediately let out a low sigh.
Although the silent words were not finished yet, Marita and Lin Xuanqing had already understood the answer, and said in unison: "The blood demon has been here?!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent instantly, three people, you look at me, I look at you, and their eyes were full of unbelievable fear.
Isn't the Blooddemon fully resurrected? Since he hasn't been fully resurrected, what can he walk around as he pleases? Where is the Bloodfiend now?
A series of questions sprouted in the minds of the three of them, and the atmosphere that was already very tense instantly condensed again, and the three of them didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing the blood demon who was hiding in a dark corner.
"Marita, you should be more vigilant, once there is any wind and grass nearby, be sure to notify me and Lin Xuanqing as soon as possible. The silence kept her voice so low that even Marita, who was standing nearby, had to listen carefully to hear it.
Marita answered, using eyes several times sharper than humans, like a scout, constantly scanning the surroundings, not letting go of any clues.
Under Marita's leadership, the three of them continued to go deeper, but compared to the recklessness just now, the three of them seemed to be much more cautious at this time, almost step by step, stopping and observing every distance they walked, and it took twice as long to advance the same distance as before.
Gollum ...... Gollum ......
As he went deeper, the strange cooing sound became louder and louder, and before Shen Mo could guess what the strange sound was, a red point of light suddenly appeared in front of him.
Although the cave where Shen Mo was in was red almost everywhere, the red point of light in the distance was extraordinarily blinking, and if nothing else, the flickering red point of light should be the deepest part of the cave.
The three of them glanced at each other, the expressions on their faces became more solemn, and after a short pause, they cautiously touched the end of the cave.
The point of light is getting bigger and bigger, the fishy smell is getting stronger and stronger, when the silence appears in the deepest part of the cave, the eyes suddenly open up, the end of this cave is actually a tomb with a huge space, more than 30 meters in length and width, five meters high, in an irregular octagonal shape; and in the center of the tomb, is a big pit, the pit flashes with strange light, needless to say, the red light just now is emitted from this big pit.
Due to the short separation and the deep depth of the big pit, it was impossible to see the situation inside from a distance, but instinctively told Shen Mo that this pit should be the habitat of the Blood Demon.
Shen Mo let Lin Xuanqing stay in the same realm, and he and Marita slowly approached the big pit; when they reached the edge of the big pit, they looked down and looked inside, Shen Mo and Marita couldn't help but be stunned, their eyes widened, as if they were living a ghost.
Instead of the Blood Demon, they saw a pit full of severed limbs and broken arms, blood mixed with broken corpses, swirling regularly in the pit, like a pot of boiling flesh and blood.
"It's disgusting. ”
Marita couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she didn't find the blood demon, but at the same time, her attention was attracted by this pit of flesh and blood, her brows furrowed, and she covered her mouth and nose with her hands, disgusting.
Even Marita, who is a dragon, is like this, Shen Mo is naturally not much better, his face is pale, and a strange warm current rises from his stomach and goes straight to his throat, if it is not for the fact that he has not eaten for most of the day, I am afraid that Shen Mo will vomit on the spot.
Gollum ...... Gollum ......
Strange gurgling sounds kept coming out of the pit, as if there was a big mouth under the pit, gulping and drinking.
"Shen Mo, what's the matter? The Blood Demon is not in the pit?" Lin Xuanqing, who was standing guard at the rear, asked in confusion when he saw Shen Mo and Marita standing motionless at the edge of the pit.
Shen Mo's eyes stared at the miserable pit, and he whispered: "I can't see it at all now, if you want to know if the Dao Blood Demon is in the pit, I'm afraid there are only two ways." ”
"What's the solution?"
"Either jump in and dive to the bottom of the pit, or scoop up all the flesh out of the pit. "When Shen Mo said these two methods, even he was a little incredulous; if he chose the former, once the blood demon was in the pit, it would undoubtedly be an act of seeking death, and if he chose the latter, it was more difficult to implement, after all, it was not easy to scoop out all the flesh and blood in this big pit, and even the most basic problem of what to 'scoop' could not be solved.
And just when Shen Mo was a little undecided, suddenly, the whirlpool-like flesh and blood in the pit suddenly stopped spinning, and calm was restored in an instant. Just as he was silently wondering, a seemingly inconspicuous but actually amazing bubble emerged from the flesh.
"Silence, look!" Marita's eyes were sharp, and she saw the bubble at a glance.
"I saw it. Shen Mo frowned, took Marita's hand, and took a step back.
Seeing this, Lin Xuanqing, who was standing in the back, wondered, "What's wrong?"
Although Shen Mo didn't want to say this, it seemed that the facts were in front of him, and after a short hesitation, he still said word by word: "It seems to be coming out." ”
Hearing this, Lin Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood in front of him with the Xiaofeng Demon Breaking Sword in his hand, always ready to meet the stormy attack of the Blood Demon;
Time passed minute by minute, and every second that passed, it was like a year for the three of them.
Under Shen Mo's gaze, a bloody hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the pit, although only one hand appeared in the sight of Shen Mo and the others, it still made everyone's hearts throb violently, and then, the second hand appeared, and then the two hands were driven, and the arms and the messy hair that was stuck together due to blood gradually appeared in the field of vision of Shen Mo and the others.
It's coming!
Although this monster that seemed to crawl out of hell was very shocked by Shen Mo's heart, but at this moment, Shen Mo did not hesitate at all, his lips moved slightly, and with a slight low drink, the light under his feet suddenly appeared, and he directly cast the Vajra Protector;
The Xiaofeng Demon Breaking Sword in Lin Xuanqing's hand behind him also let out a soft groan, and the sword sound represented that Lin Xuanqing was also ready to attack, and Marita next to her lips moved slightly, and her throat began to emit a faint red light, which could spew out flames that could burn everything at any time.
And just as everyone was about to strike first and launch the most fierce attack, suddenly, a human voice sounded.
"Help!"
Help me?
Shen Mo's fist, which had already begun to emit black light, hurriedly retracted its momentum, and under Shen Mo's surprised gaze, it was not a purgatory-like blood demon that crawled out of the blood pit, but an ordinary man.
"Liu Hong?!"
Before Shen Mo could figure out the situation, Lin Xuanqing behind him suddenly shouted, and then rushed to the edge of the blood pit, grabbed the man's arm, dragged him out of the blood pit, and said happily: "You are not dead yet?"
This strange plot made Shen Mo a little confused, and he frowned and asked, "What's the matter?
