Chapter Ninety-Nine: Strange Painting and Dead Remains III

I looked up at the top of the main hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe thick withered vines hung dead and silent, and there was still a little life, but the cold water droplets still dripped down the vines, and it seemed that they never stopped.

The air was a little cool, filled with the fishy smell of the fish-headed monsters.

Thirty years ago, the Seven Great Sects joined forces to attack the Immortal Hall, and the Immortal Hall suffered a catastrophe, and today, thirty years later, the Immortal Hall has suffered the same fate, almost never to recover. So, ten or twenty years, or another thirty years later, will the Immortal Hall be reinvigorated and make a comeback?

I guess it will be.

I let out a long sigh, confused.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, a scream came from afar, as if coming from a certain cave, and spread to the main hall. I was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped up, and the disciples of the Immortal Hall who were clearing the vines from the stone wall around me were also busy surrounding.

The sound came from behind the huge statue, but the torches in our hands had faded to the back of the statue.

The surrounding Immortal Hall disciples reacted extremely quickly, and before the aftermath fell, they had already set up a small battle formation, surrounding Fang Wenwen, Gu Tai, and the two elders of Black and White in the middle, everyone was trembling, and their faces were pale. This cry was clearly that of a fish-headed monster. Although most of the fish-headed monsters rushed out of the Shenlong Cave, there are obviously still fish-headed monsters left here in this cave, but we don't know how many fish-headed monsters are here, maybe a dozen, maybe more than 10,000. No one dared to be careless, and I felt a pang of anxiety in my heart.

At this time, a disciple of the Immortal Hall with a torch in his hand ran over from the darkness behind the stone statue, and we were all relieved to see that it was a person. The man ran to Fang Wenwen, knelt on the ground, and said, "Qiqi Hall Master, Pang Tan Master has arrived at the Spirit Cave. ā€

Fang Wen said: "Can the spiritual cave be intact?"

The man's body trembled and said, "Back to the hall master, the spiritual cave is intact, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

The man hugged his fist and said, "Master Pang Tan asked the hall master to come over, and the hall master will know at a glance." ā€

Could it be that the lair of the fish-headed monster was discovered?

This immediately crossed my mind. I saw Fang Wenwen nodding slowly, and suddenly said: "The Protector of the Sun and the Lord of the Sheep Altar, you two will go with the deity." The rest of the people and so on acted according to the plan. ā€

The surrounding Immortal Hall disciples responded in unison and said, "Yes!"

With that, Fang Wenwen, Yang Zhixing, and the old man in white among the black and white elders walked towards the back of the stone statue, and the disciple of the Immortal Hall who came to report the news hurriedly followed with a torch and led the way.

I've long been curious about these fish-headed monsters. Whether it's the poison and the unknown blood on them, or the fact that they can't get out of the valley and are nurtured by people, it haunts me like a mystery. Who is the sacredness of the people who can raise such ghosts?

The people around scattered out.

I thought about it, and with the shadow chasing sword in hand, they chased after them.

Fang Wenwen They didn't go fast, and Fang Wenwen didn't care about me at all. Following them, I began to walk unhurriedly, as I began to look behind the statue.

The stone statue was originally standing in the center of the main hall, so the scene behind it is basically the same as the scene in front, in addition to the thick stone pillars standing everywhere, there are also many rattans hanging from the top, but they are still tighter and withered, more like a deep grass standing upside down.

After only two hundred or so steps, we came to the other end of the main hall, and in front of us was a square passageway.

The passage is about 10 zhang high and almost 8 zhang wide, so it can be said that it is a very spacious passage. But compared to the passage we entered, this passage was pitifully small.

On both sides of the entrance of the passage, there are stone carvings of human heads, all of which are three zhang in size. The one on the left is carved with a man's head, and the one on the right is a woman's head, both with their mouths open and their long, curved tongues extended. Coupled with the moss covering the stone carvings, the two skull carvings are even more terrifying than the blue-faced and tusked ghost stone carvings I saw before, but the carving is still very delicate and delicate, and the eyes on the two heads are carved very vividly.

As soon as I walked into the passage, I felt that the air was much cooler, and the smell of fish was stronger than that of the main hall. However, this passage is much more refreshing than the passage and the main hall outside, with no hanging vines on the top, no water dripping, and no moss growing on the stone walls. But on the floor of this passage, I saw stone pillars, rubble, weapons, and worn clothes that were almost rotten. Back then, the Seven Great Sects rushed into the Divine Dragon Cave, and it was impossible for no one to die here. Probably the passage and the main hall outside were covered with vines and thick moss, so we didn't see the bones and scattered weapons, but we had an unobstructed view of it. Only, there are no bones to be seen.

Was it eaten by a fish-headed monster?

I couldn't help but shake a little. The fish-headed monsters can even eat their own companions, and there are human bones here, and they will never leave a single bone behind.

After a hundred or so steps down the passage, I felt like the ground was starting to slope down a bit. At this time, the Immortal Hall disciple brought the torch closer to the stone wall on our right, and said in a slur voice, "Hall Master......

The light of the fire was close, illuminating the stone wall around us, but eight feet above the ground, there was a large black hole the size of a zhang hanging on the wall. The hole was rounded, and the edges were not very smooth, as if it had been scratched by sharp claws, and there was a long stream of yellow slime running from it against the wall. I've seen such caves, and they've been dug by the fish-headed monsters, but the caves I saw in the waterhole were on the ground, but this one was on the wall.

I looked into the cave, and in the light of the fire, I could see a little bit at the edge of the hole, and beyond that it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly, but the smell was very strong. Fang Wenwen frowned and said, "Have you found the fish-headed monster?"

The disciple holding the torch hugged his fist and said, "Back to the hall master, I found one in the spiritual cave, but it has been killed by the master of the altar. As he spoke, he couldn't help but look up at the stone wall to our right.

I wondered in my heart, this disciple's behavior was a little strange, when he came here, he asked us to look at the stone wall on the right, and now it looks like this is swallowing, is there something wrong with this stone wall?

Fang Wenwen also seemed to think of it, he glanced at this disciple, then turned his head to look at the stone wall, and when he looked forward, he seemed to find something, snatched the torch from this disciple's hand, and walked forward with the fire.

It's just that he didn't take two steps and suddenly stopped.

I was even more curious, and I followed one step at a rapid pace. Following his gaze, he saw that not far from the first cave, a large black hole eight feet above the ground appeared on the stone wall, all of the same shape and size as the previous one. However, at the edge of this dark cavern were two green human legs.

I was shocked, and the sheep beside me had already exclaimed, "The Gu poison has attacked!"

Fang Wenwen looked at the two human legs that showed the entrance of the cave, frowned and said, "Seizure?"

Yang Zhixing nodded, stepped forward, raised his right arm and pointed at the two green legs, and said, "Hall Master, look at the hole in this leg, it was left by the fish-headed monster cub when it came out, and this person is afraid that the flesh and blood have been sucked dry." ā€

I didn't dare to look at Yang Zhixing's appearance, and a left eye the size of an egg was almost as wide as the fish-headed monster's big eye, and now it was close again, and the big sarcoma on his shoulder shook as he nodded, as if there were two heads on it.

Fang Wen moved the torch closer. I deliberately avoided Yang Zhixing's body, and followed his fingers to look at the two green legs, but I saw that these two green legs were indeed exposed with dense small holes, the size of a fingernail, and the edges were scattered with small pieces of minced meat and red skin.

Fang Wenwen looked around, pondered for a moment, and suddenly turned his head and said, "Pull this person out." ā€

The Immortal Hall disciple hurriedly hugged his fist and said, "Yes." He stepped forward, grabbed a green leg with one hand, and pulled the corpse out of the hole, only to hear a soft "bang", and a shriveled green body with a red face landed at our feet.

This corpse had indeed been hollowed out, and it didn't weigh much at all when it fell to the ground, just like the disciples of the Seven Great Sects who had the poison of the fish-headed monster in their bodies that I had seen, a face had already become hideous, and even the shriveled appearance of this face was even more terrifying. The corpse rolled on the ground, and the green skin suddenly appeared before our eyes, and in the light of the fire, I saw more holes rotten all over his body, arms, neck, and face, and I couldn't count how many.

Fang Wenwen looked at this corpse for a long time, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Sheep altar master, this is the worm Gu you told the deity?"

I frowned. Shaobai Dao and Su Qingyao were also studying the venom in the fish-headed monster's body and those poisoned disciples, but the two of them never said what kind of worm Gu this was. I looked at Yang Zhixing, thinking that this ugly old man also had a lot of research on witchcraft, and even I vaguely felt that he was more proficient in witchcraft than Su Qingyao and Shaobai Daoren.

Yang Zhixing looked down, raised his head and said slowly: "Hall Master, this is indeed a worm Gu, one of the most evil Gu techniques in the Western Regions. However, what Yang is worried about now is not this kind of Gu technique, but these newly-born fish-headed monster cubs. And ......" He paused, turned his head to look at the round hole in the stone wall, the body was pulled out, and at this time there was a little yellow slime left on the edge of the hole, and he said: "And Yang thinks that these cubs are still in our main altar, and it is very likely that the other end of this cave is even at the bottom of the spirit cave." ā€

At this time, the old man in white named Lieyang said: "Sheep altar master, this is also unlikely, right? The Spirit Snake Cave is full of natural diamonds, and the walls are as strong as the Divine Dragon Gate, even if those fish-headed monsters can dig holes, how can they dig there?"

Yang Zhixing said: "Elder Lieyang, I'm afraid of what happens. Didn't we expect these monsters before we saw them?"

I looked at Fang Wenwen, his brows were already tightly furrowed, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

This is an internal matter of their Immortal Hall, I don't want to interject, but it is not difficult to see that they have long had a dispute about the fish-headed monsters in the Divine Dragon Cave, compared to the Seven Great Sects wanting to eradicate their Immortal Hall, I am afraid that in the past few days, they are more concerned about the situation in the Divine Dragon Cave and the origin of these fish-headed monsters, right?

At this time, the disciple of the Immortal Hall suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Hall Master, if there are only these two caves, the Pang Tan Master will not order his subordinates to report down, ...... There are many more such caves ahead. ā€

And also?

We were all taken aback, and Fang Wen didn't say anything more, and ran forward quickly.

As I walked on, I could clearly feel that the passage was facing diagonally downward, but the smell was getting stronger and the air was getting colder. The dim light of the fire stretched our shadows wide, and we didn't know how long the passage was, and we could only hear our footsteps as we went.

When he ran forward for a distance of more than fifty zhang, Fang Wenwen stopped again, and the hand holding the torch suddenly trembled.

We also stopped. Looking sideways, I only felt a "buzz" in my head, and my scalp was numb.
