Lin Hui was very anxious in his heart, although he had never seen anything in the world, but he had not only heard a lot of things like killing people and snatching treasures, he had experienced it twice. Fortunately, the people I met twice were not very good, and with their agile skills, they avoided without danger.

Ji Yao is different, although his strength is better than Lin Hui's, he rarely walks outside, and his slender body always gives people a feeling of being very slow to deal with things. Thinking that Ji Yao might be hiding in a corner crying, her pretty face was full of tears of grievance, Lin Hui blushed, and couldn't help but feel angry, anxious and resentful, but there was nowhere to vent.

Ji Kang, on the contrary, was very calm, searching the mountain road without saying a word, slowly and carefully, not letting go of any corner, and all suspicious places would be examined in detail. Ji Kang knew very well the strength of his sister and that team of servants, if someone could kidnap Ji Yao, he and Lin Hui would probably not be able to help each other. So he didn't think much about it, but tried to keep his mind clear and sharp, because he had a feeling that once he found his sister, he would probably have to face a dilemma that he had never encountered before.

But halfway through the search of the mountain road, no trace was found, and Ji Kang, who pretended to be calm all the way, couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

As if noticing something abnormal, Lin Hui leaned over and ran quickly, leaving the mountain road and running towards a four-zhang wide boulder in the distance. Ji Kang felt a hint of surprise in his heart, followed his footsteps to the big stone, and hurriedly asked, "What did you find?"

A large piece of the surface of the boulder in front of me was still very fresh, and it was obvious that it had just been turned out of the soil. Stones like this, washed away by the rain and peeled off the mountain without the support of the earth, can be seen everywhere on the mountain, and it is not a clue at all. It's just that the two of them searched for a long time and only found this abnormality, so knowing that there was not much hope, Lin Hui also ran over to check.

Ji Kang looked up all the way along the trajectory of the boulder rolling down the mountain, and found that there was a dark shadow behind several big trees in the distance, which seemed to be a cave, so he beckoned Lin Hui to climb up.

When I got closer, there was another cave behind the big tree. Looking down from the entrance of the cave, I only felt deep and cold, and there was no end in sight. The color of the stone wall outside the cave entrance was a little whitish, and seeing this, Lin Hui decided that the previous big stone should be covered on this cave entrance. For some reason, the boulder rolled down the mountain, and the hole was revealed.

The two looked around the entrance of the cave, Lin Hui suddenly let out a cheer, and sure enough, he found a few faint footprints on the soil outside the cave, and the length of the footprints should have been left by the woman. The toes of the footprints were pointing towards the entrance of the cave, and it was clear that the woman who had left the footprints had entered the cave and was probably still inside.

Compared with Lin Hui's joy after seeing a glimmer of hope, Ji Kang looked at the entrance of the cave in silence with a solemn face. Gusts of wind erupted from the cave, as if connected to the Netherworld. Ji Kang was worried in his heart, if his sister really came here, then this cave must be very dangerous, and his sister's whereabouts are still unknown is the best proof. The best option now is to rush back to Ji's house to mobilize manpower, and then send people into the cave to search.

However, it has been almost two days since Ji Yao disappeared, and the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. In the end, Ji Kang decided to let Lin Hui go to Ji's house to report the news, while he went to the cave to find it. As for the danger, there is no scruple about it.

Ji Kang was about to enter the cave, but Lin Hui turned his body over, pushed behind him, and smiled calmly: "It's better for you to report the news." I don't know much about the road down the mountain. ”

The two looked at each other, and the other's thoughts were clear. Letting other people take risks for his sister and do nothing himself, Ji Kang really can't say such a thing. Therefore, even though Lin Hui was far superior to him in all aspects of his body, Ji Kang still decided to go down to the cave to find it by himself. And Lin Hui simply thinks that he is stronger than Ji Kang, so it is most appropriate for him to go by himself.

Ji Kang suddenly laughed and shouted, "Okay." When you find your sister, don't rush out, live in the cave for a year and a half, and then you don't have to marry Chen Songbai, that bastard. Ji Kang knew that Lin Hui had lived alone for too long, so that his temperament was very peaceful, and even a little wooden, in the past, he was only interested in food, but now there is one more, a woman.

There are many pine trees on the mountain, Lin Hui cut down a few branches that are slightly thinner than his arm, scraped a small bag of pine resin, lit it and stood at the entrance of the cave. Although the cave was gloomy and cold, when he thought of Ji Yao's graceful appearance, he felt that his courage doubled, and he walked to the depths of the cave without looking back.

Ji Kang, who was outside the cave, watched the firelight in Lin Hui's hand disappear into a corner, then put away the smile on his face, turned around and ran down the mountain quickly.

**

The cave is a hundred turns, the cave wall is the same yellowish white, after a long distance, the stone wall is almost the same, and you can't find the slightest mark and texture that can be remembered. Lin Hui couldn't remember how long he had walked, but he felt that the cave had been stretching down, and the only sound he could hear was his own low footsteps.

The torch in his hand became dim again, and Lin Hui stopped to rest, lighting another branch by the way. Of the seven pine branches he had brought, two were left except for those that had just been lit. The cave was still silent, as if there would not be even a slight change in tens of millions of years. There was no sound around, as if falling into an abyss of nothingness, and the small place illuminated by the torch was the only real existence in the world. Fortunately, living in the mountains and wilderness has made Lin Hui accustomed to such loneliness in the dark, if it were Ji Kang, it is estimated that he would go crazy halfway.

Lin Hui decided to keep going down until all the branches burned out. Fortunately, when he came in, he didn't find any other forks in the road, as long as he went all the way up, Lin Hui was confident that he could go out without torches.

At intervals, Lin Hui could find deep or shallow footprints on the ground. Judging from the shape and distance of the footprints, the person who left the footprints should move forward on their own, which made Lin Hui feel a little comforted.

However, when only the last pine branch remained, Lin Hui's mood became very impatient, and he began to shout Ji Yao's name loudly, no longer caring whether his voice would attract the demon beasts and ghosts sleeping in the dark.

A sound as if two stones rubbing against each other came from the depths of the darkness, and Lin Hui was overjoyed, and his steps quickened. But when he heard the next voice, he hesitated. It was a chaotic sound of rustling, like many people walking on an inch deep of dead branches and leaves. Lin Hui concluded that there were many people or things in front of him, which might be fierce beasts he had never seen before, or ancient monsters that he had awakened from.

He remembered all kinds of rumors about the monsters and monsters that appeared on Tiangen Mountain, and the little fear that rose in his heart quickly merged into a deep water, slowly drowning his courage. But his intuition told him that Ji Yao was ahead, and he had to muster up the courage to move forward.

Where do fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers have much courage, most people only have some ruthlessness that they mistake for courage. So, Lin Hui mustered up the ruthlessness in his heart and moved forward slowly. Eventually, this ferocity will be used to consume the fear that continues to rise in the heart.

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old Lin Hui's understanding of the world is very simple, things in the world are divided into two kinds, harmful and harmless, and the criterion for distinguishing is whether it is possible to harm oneself. Most of the people he met were classified as harmful. Of course, there is a third category, but there are very few people who fall into this category. Among them are his parents and brothers, followed by Ji Kang, and Ji Kang's sister Ji Yao. Lin Hui called the people here his own kind, and for the sake of these people, he could do anything, just like his parents did for themselves.

Therefore, after realizing the danger ahead, Lin Hui untied the long knife at his waist and held it in his hand. The long knife made of cold iron had been left to him by his father, and had been with him since he could barely wield it. With the long knife in his hand, Lin Hui slashed twice in front of him, and felt that his courage increased greatly, so he continued to move forward.

The sound in the cave traveled far away, and Lin Hui originally judged that the place where the sound came out was only ten zhang away from him, but he walked for nearly half a mile, but he never found a ghost.

Lin Hui's spirit became more and more tense, as he distinctly felt that the wind blowing from the depths of the cave had become significantly colder. The surrounding stone walls have finally changed, from dry and smooth to rough and damp, and then a little water droplets have condensed on the stone walls.

After advancing about 100 zhang, the terrain suddenly became open, and an open space with a length and width of more than 100 zhang appeared in front of me. Among them, there are more than a dozen thick stalactite pillars, which are connected with the roof of the cave that is dozens of zhang high. The surrounding rock walls are inlaid with countless fluorites, emitting a little bit of light, like a canopy full of stars, although it is not bright, but it is enough for Lin Hui to see most of the places in the cave. On the stone pillar in the center and the largest, part of it was shoveled away, and two big characters were engraved on it, but they were too far apart to tell what the words were.

Lin Hui walked forward while looking around, approaching the center of the cave, only to find that the bottom of the stalactite pillar in the center was four zhang in diameter, and the word "treasure cave" was engraved on it.

But Lin Hui no longer had the heart to guess the meaning of these two words, and he saw many bright spots swaying from side to side in the distance. Lin Hui was very sure that his eyes were not flowering, and what was worse was that he heard a strange voice sound again, not only from the front, but also from the way behind him.

Lin Hui stood the long knife in front of him, and only then did he look back and see two skeletons with white bones walking towards him. There was no flesh and blood on the skeleton's body, and in the empty eye sockets, two points of emerald green ghost fire slowly floated left and right. The bones of their bodies were connected by some kind of force, and they formed a human form, slowly and clumsily walking towards Lin Hui. That fragile appearance gave Lin Hui the illusion that they would fall to the ground and shatter into pieces at any moment, but Lin Hui was not willing to let them get close to him at all.

There are many rumors about ghosts in the outside world, and they can even manipulate ghosts through some specific exercises. So even though Lin Hui saw these creepy things for the first time, he also knew how powerful and deadly they were. Most of the ghosts rely on soul power to maintain their activities, some of these soul powers are left over from their corpses, and some are artificially injected, and it is said that some high-level ghosts can even absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth like monks and transform it into their own soul power. In a sense, as long as there is enough soul power and aura, anything can open up spiritual intelligence and become a demon, but these ghosts and monsters are not tolerated by heaven and earth, and they cannot see the light of heaven, so they can only survive in the depths of the earth. Once they are exposed between heaven and earth, they will surely descend on the heavens and earth, and they will be destroyed by the thunder, earth, and fire.

There are many deadly places for ghosts, almost all of them are corpse poison that is extremely toxic from top to bottom, and high-level ghosts can also use most of the known magic spells.

Lin Hui didn't know how these ghosts came to be, but he knew that if he wanted to survive today, he had to rely on the Hundred Refining Cold Iron Long Knife in his hand to fight his way out. And looking for Ji Yao is something that can only be considered after he gets out alive.

Looking around, Lin Hui remembered the location of the ghosts around him, and a tortuous route appeared in his mind, which was the best route he had found in a short period of time.

A skeleton first approached within a zhang and raised its sharp finger bones to stab Lin Hui under his ribs. Lin Hui flattened his knife and cut off the skeleton's neck bone, and his head flew diagonally to five zhang away. However, the skeleton that had lost its head could still move, and Lin Hui only felt a sharp pain in his right rib, and he was injured in the first light. Lin Hui pushed the skeleton that only had its body left away from him, and the long knife slashed hard, cutting off the skeleton's left neck, and directly cutting it in half, turning it into a pile of broken bones scattered on the ground, unable to move again.

Lin Hui's eyebrows were upside down, and his face was full of cruelty, but his mind became more sober because of the injury. Through the price of blood, he knew that attacking vital points such as necks could not kill ghosts, and only by cutting off their torsos so that their bodies could no longer be spliced together, could they be incapacitated.

After that, the moves Lin Hui used were either oblique splits or heavy slashes, and all the skeletons in close range ended up in pieces.
