Chapter Seventy-Four: The Place of the Dead
Guo Xu pondered for a while and said, "Little brother agrees with Sister Lian's opinion, let's act together, it's better to advance and retreat together." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Okay, then follow Yulian's suggestion and choose a passage to explore. Cheng Yixiu smiled slightly and no longer insisted.
"I'll go whatever way everyone goes. Zhao Hu also said.
"Since everyone agrees, we don't know where these passages lead, so let's choose one at random, how about the one opposite?" Bai Yulian pointed with her hand, it was the passage due east. The red sun in the east is dawning, and choosing this channel has an auspicious meaning.
The passage is dark again, and I have seen the wonder of the right talent, this deep and dark, cold and dead passage is very unaccustomed.
"Stride, stomp!" "Stride, stride!" the slight footsteps of the crowd were very clear in the narrow and cramped passage.
I don't know how long it took, Bai Yulian suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Guo Xu and the others: "There is a forbidden seal here, I can't get by." ”
"Oh, the forbidden seal. Cheng Yixiu stepped forward, observed for a long time, frowned slightly and said: "Indeed, this seal is very secret, and you can't really find it if you don't pay attention, but if you break it, will it startle the snake." ”
"Yes, I'm also worried about these, many prohibitions have an early warning effect, we are secretly investigating this time, if we make a rash move, alarm those zombies, I'm afraid that all the work will be wasted. Bai Yulian was also at a loss.
"Do you think that this time we are too calm and smooth?" Guo Xu threw out a question, saw that everyone was silent, and continued.
"If this is the secret stronghold of the Necrocalyptus, why are the precautions so lax? Except for a few iron-clawed black bats along the way, there is no decent threat at all. Originally, I thought that there would be a few fierce battles, but I didn't want to go all the way to here. Don't you think it's weird?"
"What does the little brother mean: Our trip was actually discovered earlier, did they deliberately let us in or they had an internal situation, and their defense was weak, which is equivalent to an empty shell?"
"Yes, no matter which of these two guesses you have, it is imperative to break this seal. ”
"Haha, Brother Guo really woke up the dreamer with a word, Lao Cheng admires!" Cheng Yixiu looked at Guo Xu's eyes full of brilliance, and as soon as he raised his hand after speaking, a forbidden talisman hit the forbidden seal like a meteor.
A burst of multicolored light flickered, especially bright in the dark night, and the forbidden seal was broken, revealing a black hole.
Cheng Yixiu walked in quickly, and the footsteps suddenly stopped, and after a while, he let out an angry roar!
Guo Xu and Zhao Hu looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, and hurriedly followed Bai Yulian into the room.
"This! this ......" Looking at the scene in front of him, Guo Xu was shocked!
This is another huge karst cave, much bigger than the one in Shicai!
It's just that the ground of this cave is covered with a layer of black turbid liquid that exudes an unusually fishy smell, and in this black turbid liquid there is a layer of dense corpses floating, roughly counting, I am afraid that there are no less than tens of thousands!
These corpses are all ossified, with pale faces and dark claws, but these zombies seem to be asleep at the moment and have not woken up.
Many of the zombies at the edge of the passage are mutilated, with obvious burn marks on their bodies, and it is obvious that the zombies who fought fiercely last night came from here.
No wonder Cheng Yixiu was so excited and out of control, I am afraid that the entire Shizhai people have been sent here to be made into zombies.
It is estimated that there is more than this stone village, and it has been rumored that the 100,000 mountain corpse disaster has spread, and many monks have disappeared, and I am afraid that many of these missing people are here.
The top of the cave is large and small, and the stone stalactites of different lengths are still shining with colorful light, like a rainbow, but at this moment everyone no longer feels amazing.
These stone stalactites and these weird zombies complement each other, the light is strange and mixed with a monstrous atmosphere, the smell is tangy, where there is still half of the appearance of the grand scene in the world, it is like Shura hell!
A cold light flashed, and Sensen's Cold Moon Knife was tightly held in Cheng Yixiu's hand, he was full of murderous aura, he had not encountered anyone from the Corpse Demon Sect at this time, if there was no doubt that Cheng Yixiu would cut him with a thousand knives.
"Yixiu, don't be impulsive, there is still a passage over there, we will go over to investigate and investigate, and maybe we can make new discoveries. Bai Yulian grabbed Cheng Yixiu's arm and comforted softly.
The passage she was pointing to was hidden in the right corner of the cave, and the crack in the dark and cold was like a beast opening its mouth, and there was no idea how many filthy sins were hidden inside.
Bai Yulian held Cheng Yixiu and walked forward slowly, followed by Guo Xu and Zhao Hu, silent.
This passage is not deep, about dozens of zhang deep, through the passage, what comes into view is a square stone room.
The stone room is not big, more than ten zhang square, there are no tables and chairs in the middle, it is empty, and it is very lonely.
Looking up, I found that there were more than a dozen swarthy coffins hanging from the top of the stone chamber with black ropes. The cold wind blows, the ropes sway, and the coffin creaks, giving people a very weird and strange feeling.
A silver sword aura pierced the night sky, and a coffin that was still floating in the air fell down quickly, but before the black coffin landed, a flexible energy appeared out of thin air, and with a soft "bang", the coffin slowly landed on the ground.
"What is this?" Cheng Yixiu took two steps forward, and the Cold Moon Knife in his hand lightly tapped the coffin, making a clattering sound, "Do you want to open it and take a look?" He turned his head to ask for everyone's opinions.
Bai Yulian's eyes wandered and stared at Guo Xu and said, "To open or not to open, what does the little brother think?"
Guo Xu smiled bitterly, how did he not know that he was targeted by this woman again, and said in a deep voice: "We are here to investigate the situation, since we have found this strange black coffin, of course we have to open it and take a look." ”
"It's just that the situation inside this black coffin is unknown, and you need to pay attention when opening it to avoid accidents. Guo Xu saw that Cheng Yixiu was about to start, so he hurriedly reminded him.
"Yixiu, your old injuries haven't healed, so I'll open it. Bai Yulian stepped forward. Hearing this, Guo Xu glanced at Bai Yulian deeply!
A red glow shone, and a huge ring-shaped ring of fire slammed into the lid of the coffin. With a bang, the lid of the coffin was torn apart, and sawdust flew away.
"Stride, stomp!" "Stride, stomp!" The sound of small footsteps sounded, and everyone slowly gathered around.
"This is an iron corpse in transformation!" Zhao Hu exclaimed.
I saw a strange middle-aged monk lying in this coffin, the middle-aged monk should have been dead for a long time, his breath was cold and cold, and he was soaked in a mysterious green liquid at this time.
The skin on his body was already black, but his face was extremely pale, the fangs at the corners of his mouth protruded three inches, and his dark claws were shining with black light.
"Boom!" "Boom!" A few times, Bai Yulian opened the black coffin a few more times, all in the same situation.
"These monks who are about to transform into iron corpses have a strong aura, and their cultivation during their lifetime is afraid that it is no less than the late stage of qi refining. ”
Cheng Yixiu's face was slightly disappointed, none of the monks in the coffins that were opened at the right time were from the stone village.
"These monks are probably some of the monks who have disappeared in Red Maple Town recently, but it's a pity. Bai Yulian shook her head, turned around and continued to Guo Xu and the others.
"This place has been explored, and time is limited, so let's continue to look at the back of the stone chamber. With that, he turned around and walked towards the passage on the right side behind the stone chamber.
There is a long and narrow passage on the right, which is secluded inside, and the bottom is not visible.
Cheng Yixiu and Zhao Hu turned around when they heard this, and were about to keep up, when they suddenly said, "Everyone, slow down!" made the three of them stop, and all looked at Guo Xu with burning eyes.
"This mysterious green liquor is quite magical, and the younger brother wants to take some of it back to the sect for study. ”
Guo Xu smiled slightly, and then several jade bottles flew up in the air, and streams of green liquid poured into the bottles.
Guo Xu didn't stop after doing this, and suddenly golden light came out from Guo Xu's fingertips, hitting the lower abdomen of the monks in the coffin, and disappeared in an instant.
One after another, the silver sword qi rose again, and the coffins hanging on the roof of the stone chamber all fell;
With more than a dozen loud bangs, all the coffins were opened by Guo Xu, and then a series of golden lights visible to the naked eye hit the lower abdomen of the monk in the coffin.
After doing this, Guo Xu stopped, but his forehead was already slightly sweaty.
He had already used the Qianyuan Finger of the Gang to destroy the corpse pills of these quasi-iron corpses, and these monks had no possibility of transforming into iron corpses.
"Brother Guo, who are you?" Zhao Humian was puzzled.
Cheng Yixiu's face was abrupt, his eyes looked at Guo Xu with admiration, and Bai Yulian looked calm, unable to see what she was thinking.
"Brother Zhao, since you have such a good opportunity to destroy these iron corpses that are about to transform, how can you let them go so easily. Guo Xu patted Zhao Hu's shoulder and followed.
The narrow passage on the right side of the stone house is very short, and in less than a pillar of incense, it has already walked out, but what everyone didn't expect was that the exit of this passage was actually a crack in the wall of another huge passage.
The crowd had just walked out of one passage and into another.
"Yulian, do you recognize the current position?" Cheng Yixiu asked in a deep voice.
The passage in front of me is completely different from Shicai, there are many forks in it, as well as hidden paths on the wall, one after another, like cobwebs, intricate, like a labyrinth, if the direction is unknown, it is difficult to get out.
Bai Yulian made a slight move with her right hand, and a strange compass suddenly appeared in her hand.
I saw her jade fingers gently flick, a burst of white light shone, the compass shone brightly, the pointer rotated rapidly, and the slow speed became slower and slower, and finally settled in the southwest position.
"Let's go this way. Bai Yulian pointed with a hand, led the way first, and continued as she walked: "This passage seems to have reached the core of this cave, and it is already shrouded in a magic circle, everyone follow my footsteps, remember not to make a mistake." ”
The ground of the passage is obviously artificially organized, and it is very flat, and there are faint lines shining on the ground from time to time, which is obviously a magic circle hidden in it.
Bai Yulian held the compass in her hand, and opened the way first, she seemed to have studied the formation, and this way she went deep into the passage, but it was very stable.
Everyone felt a little calmer, and they had confidence when they looked at this strange passage.
"Everyone beware!" Guo Xu shouted violently, and before his words fell, a huge black wind suddenly appeared in the passage, enveloping Guo Xu's figure in an instant.
The black wind swept away in a flash, and the passage returned to calm in the blink of an eye, but now that the passage was empty, where was Guo Xu's figure!
