Murong Yunxuan was in front, Xiaoma and the others followed, all the way to the deep mountains and old forests, at the beginning, there were still hunters, woodcutters, monks and Taoists to walk around the path to walk, and gradually there was no way out. Thorns and weeds are overgrown everywhere, and ancient trees and vines are blocking the way, but fortunately, everyone is a martial arts practitioner, and their skills are agile, and although their actions are inevitably delayed, they have not encountered much trouble.
Shanyuan had already carried Zhen San on his back for the warmth, and Mother Wei and Wang Wan'er took care of Murong Yuxin left and right, and there was no difficulty in walking all the way.
It is the cold autumn, but the leaves are still lush in the old forest in the deep mountains, the grass grows and the vines are green, the light in the forest is insufficient, now the rain is hazy, it is more dim, stepping on the fallen leaves accumulated over the years, soft and damp, and a rancid smell comes to the nose.
After walking like this for about an hour, the trees gradually thinned out, and before I knew it, I had passed through the dense forest and reached the bottom of a cliff.
The cliff is more than thirty or forty zhang high, and a crack is wide and narrow at the top, winding upward, as if a giant axe has been forced to split a gap. From afar, it looked like a huge, ugly scar on the cliff.
There was no need for Murong Yunxuan to speak, everyone had already guessed that this was the place where the earth cracked and the mountain collapsed and the poisonous lizard appeared. Where the crack meets the ground, the entrance as wide as two or three zhang is blocked by a huge stone that collapses down, and the crack at the top of the pile of more than ten zhang is only one foot square, and so it gets narrower and narrower until the top of the cliff.
Murong Yunxuan looked at the cliff in front of him and said: "In the summer and June of the nineteenth year of Hongwu, it rained heavily for several days, and the flood became a disaster. After that, the woodcutter disappeared for no reason, and the eldest brother found the vision of this cliff after several twists and turns, and found the vision of this cliff, which had been blocked by rocks at that time, so he did not delve into it, and I did not know whether the two poisonous lizards came out of here, and what was the situation inside. ”
"Tianmu Mountain has never heard of such a monster in thousands of years, and it naturally would not have appeared out of thin air sixteen years ago. The entrance to the altar was destroyed, and it was able to appear in Tianmu Mountain, which naturally connected the altar to the outside world. It's too late to dig the entrance, so you have to find another shortcut. The Grimace Hall Master said.
Pony said: "Since we have arrived here, if we don't go in to find out, the hall master will obviously not stop, but in the altar, the danger is uncertain, and it is not necessary to go in, and it is much easier for the disabled to stay." I intend to leave Lord Zhen and Xi'er here, and Yuxin, Brother Wen, Mother Wei, and Wan'er to take care of them, I don't know what to do?"
"Before you arrived, I had them take the unique poison of the Blood Spirit, and they would die without my antidote within three days, so I don't dare to act recklessly. The wounded can stay, and the other four must go in together. ”
"If they don't leave anyone to take care of this situation, how can they rest assured? If the hall master insists on refusing, he will die horizontally, and it is a big deal to fight each other to break the net, and your blood hall will definitely not be able to bargain. The pony said coldly.
After pondering for a long time, the grimace hall master opened his mouth and said: "The Blood Demon Hall kills as you like, and never negotiates terms with anyone, today I make an exception and make an exception, I can leave two people to take care of it, and Murong Miss and the scholar must follow into the altar." ”
Pony knew that if he persisted, the situation would be worse, so he turned around and said goodbye to Wei's mother and Wang Wan'er. Everyone also said goodbye one by one, and successively found their way in the pile of rocks and climbed to the entrance more than ten feet high. The Grimace Hall Master asked Ma Liu to take twenty people and the wounded to stay, and all the rest followed after him and Qu Chuanyun.
The one-foot-square entrance only allowed one person to pass sideways, and the crack was dark and deep, and it was impossible to peek into it. The pony tossed a rock, and the echo came from beneath his feet. No longer hesitating at the moment, he took the torch that had been prepared by the Blood Monster Hall and walked in first, and everyone rushed in.
After walking down the pile of rocks for more than 30 zhang before reaching the field, the pony estimated that the cave was less than ten zhang lower than the terrain outside. Just as he was about to take a look at the surrounding situation, he suddenly heard someone exclaim, his voice was full of horror and fear, and the torch fell to the ground with a "snap", desperately retreating into the crowd.
By the light of the torches on the ground, the pony sees a behemoth standing upright, its fangs facing the height of its head.
"Poisonous lizards. The word flashed through the pony's mind, but he wondered why it didn't move. Holding the unicorn knife in his right hand, the torch in his left hand slowly moved closer, only to find that this poisonous lizard had been dead for a long time, except for the air-dried head, there was only a gray-brown skeleton left in the whole body. The hideous and terrifying appearance is really startling to see it suddenly in the dark.
"Don't panic, this poisonous lizard has already died, but it contains highly poisonous, everyone try to be careful. Before the pony could finish speaking, someone exclaimed, "There's one here, too." "Oh, what the hell is stumbling, my mother. ”
The pony looked around, rose into the air, and landed on a rock five or six feet high, and with a torch in his hand, he couldn't help but gasp, and the sight was too shocking and terrifying.
