Chapter 179: The Shelter
Shen Xiu was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, and then laughed: "Don't worry, even if you can't cure An Xin, I will let him return his soul power to you, if nothing else, just for me to appreciate your temperament." ”
In fact, Shen Xiu had no hostility towards Yezhou in the first place, but they didn't want people around them to know about An Xin's affairs, and they were worried that Yezhou would expose the matter, so they had to be vigilant, but after getting along these days, Shen Xiu could also see that Yezhou disdained to do those tricks of the yin people, and it was trustworthy.
Yezhou indifferently retracted his gaze, looked around carefully, and said, "Let's go and have a look around, it's not a way to stay here all the time, although my body is poor, but I can still hold on, I don't want to wait here for death all the time." ”
Even if this is a treacherous hell, she has to die with a clear death.
Seeing this, Shen Xiu no longer stopped her, picked her up and walked forward together.
Because the light in the cave was too dim, the moonlight couldn't shine after a few steps outside, and Shen Xiu used his soul power to form a green light around him, which illuminated the way ahead.
They didn't dare to go far, but walked along the stone wall of the cave, which was so quiet that they couldn't see anything, but the night boat found some clues from the stone wall.
"This cave doesn't seem to have been formed naturally, you can see that the walls are very smooth in some places, and there are traces of piling up, so it should be thought to have been built. Yezhou said.
Shen Xiu followed her line of sight, and sure enough, she found a few gaps in the stone wall, which were traces that would only be left during construction, and they were very neat, so she was a little surprised.
"But I've been in Rongcheng for so many years, and I haven't heard of anyone building in the Forest of Delusion, and this location is already in the depths of the Forest of Delusion, and it is a place where demons are mixed, even if the people of the Heavenly Power Guild want to build a cave in the gathering place of demons, it is impossible. ”
"That means that there were no demons in the Forest of Innocence when this cave was built. "Night Boat Road.
"How is this possible? The Forest of Innocence has been a lair of demons for hundreds of years. ”
Yezhou shook his head, pointed to the marks on the wall and said: "You take a closer look at the lines on the walls and the plant cover on it, building a cave in the Forest of Innocence is not a small project, and it is not a large guild that has this ability but also a person with a strong family background, and according to the traces on it, the construction time of this cave must be more than two hundred years." ”
Shen Xiu became more and more puzzled when he heard this, he was not very familiar with the affairs of the Forest of Innocence, he had never heard of any caves or anything like that here, and he couldn't figure out how anyone could build a cave in such a remote and dangerous place.
"Then what do you say is the purpose of the construction of this cave? I see that the joints of these stone walls are very neat, and the builders must have treated them very carefully, and I think it must be of great significance. Shen Xiu said.
Yezhou shook her head, she couldn't see anything at this time, so she could only continue to look for clues around.
"Let's go outside and see if we can find anything more. ”
Shen Xiu agreed, and helped the people to walk in the direction of the outside, although they couldn't see the surrounding road clearly, but they followed the wall, and the two of them already had a rough topographic map in their hearts.
It's a little strange to say, there are many forks in this cave, extending in all directions, and it is very easy to get lost in it, but fortunately, Shen Xiu made a mark while walking, so he didn't get lost in it, but it didn't take long for several people to turn back and never find their way out.
Seeing this, Shen Xiu's expression became solemn: "Let's rest first, we've been wandering around there for almost two hours." ”
Yezhou frowned and didn't speak, she didn't tell the other party, she had a strange feeling in her heart from just now, for some reason this place seemed to give her a sense of familiarity, she seemed to have seen a similar cave somewhere before.
Shen Xiu saw that she didn't open her mouth and thought she was tired, so she helped the person aside and sat down: "Don't be in a hurry, you will always think of a way to get out, your face is a little pale, I'll get you some water." ”
Saying that, Shen Xiu walked towards the small pool next to him, Yezhou didn't look at him, and sat quietly in place, but it didn't take long for a burst of exclamations from Shen Xiu's side.
"It's ...... Ye Zhou: Come and have a look!"
Yezhou was stunned, walked towards him, and soon came to the pool: "What do you see?"
Yezhou was puzzled until Shen Xiu handed her a white thing.
Suddenly, Yezhou's expression changed, and she looked down at the bottom of the pool in front of her, the water here was so clear that she could easily see what was under the pool.
It was a piece of white bones, a whole pool of white bones piled up, I don't know how deep it is, but just this glance can see that there are no less than hundreds of people who have died in this place.
"Here...... What the hell is it?"
Rao is a person like Shen Xiu who has seen the world can't help but be shocked, so many white bones, like a human purgatory, how can there be so many corpses in such a cave? And looking like this, he should have been dead for many years, and it is impossible to even guess the specific year of death.
At this time, Yezhou suddenly said for no reason: "It's a shelter." ”
"What?"
Yezhou's face became ugly: "The shelter cave existed thousands of years ago, when the sky was not established, the war between people and demons was the most tragic time, people at that time did not have such a thing as soul power, they could only rely on their own bodies, in the case of a huge disparity in strength, in order to protect most ordinary people, the lord of the year ordered the secret construction of the shelter, and sent children, women and the elderly to live in the shelter. ”
"In order to continue the bloodline and avoid being completely wiped out by the demons, these people have lived in the shelter for decades, and they are not even allowed to come out, but I didn't expect ......"
"What didn't you expect?" asked Shen Xiu.
"Unexpectedly, they still died here. ”
Saying that, Yezhou closed his eyes, his expression became even more ugly, his legs were a little weak, Shen Xiu on the side noticed her strangeness, and hurriedly supported her, just when he was about to ask something, he found that Yezhou's face was extremely pale at this time, and even the corners of his eyes began to redden.
It's a little strange to say, there are many forks in this cave, extending in all directions, and it is very easy to get lost in it, but fortunately, Shen Xiu made a mark while walking, so he didn't get lost in it, but it didn't take long for several people to turn back and never find their way out.
Seeing this, Shen Xiu's expression became solemn: "Let's rest first, we've been wandering around there for almost two hours." ”
Yezhou frowned and didn't speak, she didn't tell the other party, she had a strange feeling in her heart from just now, for some reason this place seemed to give her a sense of familiarity, she seemed to have seen a similar cave somewhere before.
Shen Xiu saw that she didn't open her mouth and thought she was tired,
