Shen Shi's brows were slightly raised, and his gaze immediately fell on the ordinary and unremarkable big stones in front of him. At least for the moment, the stones scattered randomly under the corners of the stone wall were nothing special, but they fit in well with the surroundings of this strange and secluded underground cavern, black and eerie, and even a light and damp layer of moss grew on the stone face.

The moss on this stone is naturally completely different from the corpse moss on the corpse king's body, it looks like it is just a common moss that grows in the shade and dampness, Shen Shi squatted down in front of these stones, looked at it carefully for a while, and at the same time actually muttered a little in his heart, thinking that although after the death of the corpse king, the smell and blood here have somehow thinned a lot, but the smell is still very strong, and I don't know what Xiao Hei's nose is made of, and he can actually find the breath of the Hou family in this environment.

There seemed to be five or six stones, of different sizes, but they were almost half a person high, and they were somewhat messily piled up in the corner, Shen Shi naturally didn't notice such a remote corner at first, but at this time, he was reminded by Xiao Hei that after careful observation for a while, he gradually saw some abnormal clues.

He swept his gaze over the stones, at the rough stone faces, and at the damp moss in the shadows, and then suddenly looked up and looked around, the ground near him was dry and flat, except for the strange hanging red river in mid-air, and there was no water source in this underground cavern.

But the Red River is at least dozens of feet away from this corner, and Shen Shi stood here for a while without feeling any special moisture, so how did the strangely damp and moist moss on these stones grow?

He fell silent, as if thinking about something, and after a while, his gaze returned to the stones, and then he stretched out the palm of his right hand and carefully placed it on the stone in front of him.

At the tentacle, a touch of coolness came back from his skin, and the moist and abundant moisture quickly stained his palms from the slightly prickly moss, which was cold and cold, not a very comfortable feeling. But other than that, there is nothing more unusual about these mosses.

Shen Shi's face remained unchanged, but his face was solemn, and he gently touched the surface of this big stone, the stone surface was uneven, and it seemed to be a little rough originally, but because of the growth of these damp moss, it became much softer.

However, after Shen Shi touched the front, side and even the back of this stone, he found nothing, as if this big stone was just an ordinary stone discarded in this corner.

The suspended red river was still flowing quietly, and the strange red light shone on this underground cave, making Shen Shi's face gradually begin to become a little weird in the dark red light. Xiao Hei, who was standing beside him, suddenly looked up at him, seemed to be a little uneasy, and snorted lowly.

Shen Shi glanced back at it and said calmly, "Wait, if we can't find anything here, let's go back." ”

Xiao Hei lowered his head and screamed twice, knelt on the ground, and then silently watched Shen Shi reach out again and begin to inspect the second moss-covered stone.

After a while, Shen Shi's palm was lifted with a slight cold water stain, and he didn't find anything at all.

Shen Shi's brows furrowed slowly, and he glanced sideways at Xiao Hei who was lying on the side, thinking that the smell here was too heavy and Xiao Hei's nose was out of order, or was it chaotic? But thinking about the spirit of Xiao Hei looking for spirit grass in the past, Shen Shi shook his head, thinking that it was just a few stones, and he really couldn't find anything to exit the cave as he said just now, but just like the half box of rare three-grade spiritual material "corpse moss" in the bag, it was enough to make up for the price of coming to Gaoling Mountain this time.

His mind moved, but his hand did not stop, and continued to grope for the next stone, which seemed to be the largest of the several stones in this corner, and the highest point was almost as close to Shen Shi's chest, but the stone body was a little slender and long, and it looked a bit like a gourd with a wide bottom and flat top.

After touching it for a while, it still didn't seem to have gained anything, Shen Shi also sighed in his heart, thinking that he was touching the stone like this, if he was seen by outsiders, he was afraid that nine out of ten would feel stupid, but Xiao Hei just pointed out here, and there were no other hints, except for this stupid method, there seemed to be no better way.

At this moment, he touched and touched, and his arm reached the back of the stone, and the backlit place was of course shrouded in a shadow, where the moss seemed to be more lush, and the moisture was more and more abundant, as if he could bring down the cold water in the palm of his hand if he touched it casually.

Just a moment later, Shen Shi's body suddenly shook, and his face immediately changed, as if he felt something, his body leaned forward slightly, but he stretched his arm a little longer, and groped carefully towards the back of this stone.

On the ground next to him, Xiao Hei, who was already a little drowsy at some point, was also suddenly startled, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Shen Shi, and the ears of the two little pigs that were originally drooping also stood up at once.

Under the damp moss, Shen Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, but in that cold wetness, he felt that his palm seemed to touch a completely different depression from before.

It was a moss-covered and hidden place, sinking about two inches deep on the stone face, Shen Shi slowly moved his palms and fingers, gently and carefully proofreading, and then quickly found that it seemed to be a pit completely similar to the palm of the human race.

To put it simply, deep in the moss on the back of this stone, there is a palm print.

※※※

Is there any special meaning to a palm print?

Is it some mysterious mechanism in this strange underground cave? Or is it just the natural stone marks of this big stone itself? Xiao Hei didn't look for other places, but found the breath of the Hou family here, does it mean that this palm print may be the key to tracking the Hou family?

The Hou family is said to have a shortcut secret passage in this birth tomb, which leads directly to the treasure, so will this palm print be the key to finding that shortcut secret passage?

At that moment, when Shen Shi put the palm of his right hand on the sunken place to finally confirm that it was a palm print, these thoughts passed through his heart, and in the next moment, almost subconsciously, he pressed it hard with a bit of temptation, trying to see if it would be where the mechanism was, and if there would be any changes.

Then, the change happened immediately.

A low "rumbling" sound, like wind and thunder rolling, and like a demon beast roaring, echoed in this underground cave, Shen Shi and Xiao Hei raised their heads suddenly, and looked around with a little surprise, but they couldn't figure out where this sound came from for a while, they only felt that this underground cave that was still in a gloomy and secluded underground cave not long ago suddenly fell into a roar, and their ears were full of strange sounds.

The mutation began in this strange sound, first the red light emitted suddenly dimmed, Shen Shi instantly sensed something, turned his head to look at the strange red river hanging in the air, only to see that the light above the red river was flickering and extinguishing, and the originally gentle speed of the red river suddenly became intense, and it didn't take long for him to see that in front of his eyes, this strange void red river was actually twisted in mid-air.

It was an extremely strange and indescribable picture, a red river of water floating in mid-air, unexpectedly twisted and moved like a twisted flower, and with the vision of this red river, the ground of this cave began to slowly tremble and vibrate.

The tremors grew from small to large, becoming more and more intense, and even the mountain of corpses made of the corpses of monks not far away was shaken and collapsed. Shen Shi's face changed greatly, and he called the little black pig and was about to run the way he came, but after only a few steps, he stopped in astonishment, looking at the cave road he came over in disbelief, the passage that once emitted a faint green light, was now gone.

The way back was so strange that it disappeared before his eyes, replaced by a rock wall that was almost indistinguishable from the surrounding stone walls, as if there had never been a cave passage there, only cold and hard stone walls.

The shaking under his feet became more and more intense, and with the roar like thunder, Shen Shi was even a little difficult to stand on, and the stones above the cave fell one after another, as if they would collapse at any time and bury all of them.

Is it going to be buried alive in this underground cave that has no light of day? Shen Shi thought a little dazedly, looking at the strange red river in the air that was flowing faster and faster, as if it was a big red water snake, spasming and writhing in pain, changing into various distorted postures.

Suddenly, the red river shook suddenly, from a distorted state to a sudden stiffness, and an unprecedented flow of abundant water surged down from the dark depths in an instant with a loud bang, and Shen Shi was shocked, because the direction of the river rushing down was the corner where he and the little black pig were standing.

"Boom!"

Like thunder, like angry waves, the water rushed straight down, almost at the same time, like the sky and the earth cracked, Shen Shi only felt that his feet were empty, and the originally solid ground was also cracked at this moment, opening a big crack or a big hole, under the unstoppable Yin Hong River water rush, Shen Shi and the little black pig almost had no resistance at all, and were directly washed down by the huge amount of water into the dark and huge deep hole on the ground, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

I don't know how long it took, the red light slowly calmed down, the roar gradually dissipated, and the cave on the ground gradually closed, tightly recondensing into a piece of ground, as if there was no trace at all.

In mid-air, the red river seemed to have dried up for a while because of too much water flowing out just now, and it slowly disappeared, and the cave gradually fell into a darkness, with only a little residual red light still emitting a faint light.

And in the passage that Shen Shi entered just now, there was still a cold and hard stone wall, it seemed that there had never been any road there, but it was very strange that on another stone wall two zhang away from the original passage entrance, I don't know when another passage entrance was opened, it looked exactly the same as before, and you could even vaguely see the faint green light that spread out in the passage.

Everything seems to have calmed down again.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from the passage, and not long afterwards a group of monks entered the dark underground cavern from the newly opened passage, and a fire lit up by someone in the crowd, and with the light of the fire, they soon saw the mess on the ground and the corpses lying lying all under the collapsed mountain of corpses.

Suddenly, an exclamation sounded from the mouths of this group of strange monks, and by the light of the fire, many people could see that many people showed a little fear on their faces, but soon, many people discovered the dark passage leading to the deeper part of the cave.

Someone took the first step, and those who followed quickly followed, perhaps because of the courage of the people, or perhaps for other reasons, but at last none of them chose to turn back, and all the monks walked into the dark passage with fervent hope.

In the process, no one has ever looked closely at the caves here, and naturally no one has found some large fallen rocks in the corners of a certain mountain wall.

The secluded cave fell silent again, and when the group of people walked far away, a red light suddenly flashed in the air, and a strange red light lit up again, and the crimson river flowed out of the dark depths at the top of the cave again, just like that, it was strangely suspended in mid-air, and even turned a corner, silently and quietly began to flow again.
