Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 528
The steps leading to the Zhushen Cave are all made of dark yellow stones. Due to the age of existence, most of them have changed from dark yellow to dark brown.There are a total of 99 of these stairs. The reason why they know such details is that Zhuang Muqing told Liu Xing.

Zhuang Muqing also told Liu Xing that the end of the stairs is the entrance to the third floor of the Zhushen Cave.

But ordinary people can't go there, because there are many organs and checkpoints along the way, this is a test for the descendants of the bamboo gods, and only when they pass the test can they continue to move forward.

Moreover, this ladder is not static. After a certain trial is triggered, there will be changes in time and space, and the person who is in the trial will be transferred away.

Trials succeed, people live.

If the trial fails, the person dies.

This is the rule in Zhushen Cave.

No one can go beyond.

There is nothing special about the Bamboo God's succession.

Hearing Zhuang Muqing's rambling narration, Liu Xing smiled lightly and shook his head, but he didn't speak out to refute, but listened seriously.

After all, what Zhuang Muqing said was not fabricated.

It is the experience handed down by the Tie family.

If he dares to fall on deaf ears.

Then there will be trouble later.

Seeing that the stairs are long and endless, it is not an option to go down.Liu Xing immediately stopped and looked at the people who were following behind him: "You have to follow closely, this ladder is not 100% safe, and there are various traps hidden in it."

"That's right, pay special attention to the color of the steps under your feet. If there are blood red steps, you must avoid them. Generally, where there are blood red steps, there will always be broken feet!" Zhuang Muqing added.

The mechanism of cutting off the foot comes from the same source as the mechanism of cutting off the hand.

But the power is much more terrifying.

Although Liu Xing has not seen it with his own eyes.

But I heard from Village Chief Wang.

But he was not afraid.

Because it is illuminated by oil lamps on both sides.

The color of the ground steps has long been seen.

He will not make this basic common sense mistake.

And Zhang Qiufa and Yue Furong are the successors of Luban's mechanism technique.

Even if Zhuang Muqing didn't say anything, he vaguely knew the inside story.

So after seeing the expressions of Sikong Lei, Deng Qi, and Taoist Pufeng change after hearing the words, the two couldn't help laughing.

"Hush!" Liu Xing suddenly looked around cautiously.

"Brother, look quickly, there seems to be an oil lamp moving in front of you." Little Peanut, who was sitting on Xiao Bai's body, suddenly reminded timidly.

"I saw it!" Liu Xing frowned.

He not only saw the oil lamp moving, but also heard the sound of gears speeding up underground.This is not a good omen for him, and if he fails, he will be caught in a trap and be in danger.

"Then what should I do next?"

Sikong Lei hurriedly brought Deng Qi closer to Liu Xing.

"Don't panic, there should be a checkpoint ahead!"

Zhuang Muqing reminded.

The checkpoint is used to prevent outsiders from entering, but it is useless to the descendants of the bamboo god.

Only when you encounter an agency, you have to be careful.

After all, organs can kill people, but checkpoints can only stop people.

"Everyone go there together, remember not to disperse!" Liu Xing said, then took out the ten-arrow bamboo crossbow, and took the lead to continue walking towards the front stairs.

The trend of this ladder generally extends underground.

Although there are oil lamps for lighting, there is always something wrong.

It was like walking into a maze, and everyone became headless chickens.

And the further you go inside, the fewer oil lamps there are.

So much so that in the end, the sparse oil lamps could not illuminate the stairs, let alone illuminate the color of the stairs.

Seeing this, Liu Xing had to stop. He turned his head and looked at everyone behind him: "The light source of the flashlight is forbidden in the Zhushen Cave, so use the flashlight as little as possible."

"Then there are so many of us, so it's not too much to use three flashlights, right?" Daoist Pufeng didn't wait for Liu Xing to agree, he took out the flashlight from his backpack and turned it on. He wanted to see the stairs ahead, but the next Miao Miao was frightened, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Tie Hanhan stretched out his hand to support Daoist Pufeng.

"The steps in front seem to have disappeared, and a platform made of stone appeared, but there are many bones on the platform!" Daoist Pu Feng replied with a frown.

"Really?" Sikong Lei turned on the flashlight and looked in disbelief.

When he saw clearly, the whole person's face changed.

Because he found that what Pu Feng said was true, and there were purple-blue and purple-red bugs crawling on many of the bones, which made the scalp numb.

If nothing else, these bugs are most likely 'corpse weeters'.

One bite and you'll be poisoned to death.

"These corpses should be left by outsiders who entered the Bamboo God's Cave without permission, but don't worry!" Zhuang Muqing looked at Liu Xing: "If I remember correctly, the front is the first level of the third floor outside the Bamboo God's Cave gone."

"How to pass the checkpoint?" Liu Xing asked softly.

Sikong Lei, Deng Qi, Zhang Qiufa, and Yue Furong also held their breath and looked at Zhuang Muqing.

"I don't know, there are a total of 36 checkpoints on the first floor of the third floor outside the Bamboo God Cave, and each of them can change according to the time. It is now a quarter past twelve noon. If there is no accident... the checkpoint should be a tide of corpses. !" Zhuang Muqing calculated in her heart, and when she got the answer, she said it subconsciously.

And when she said this, Sikonglei, Zhang Qiufa, Yue Furong, and Daoist Pufeng were frightened.

Because they also encountered a wave of corpses in the Zhushen Cave before.

If it wasn't for running fast, I'm afraid it would have turned into a corpse long ago.

As for the Lin family, more than a dozen were directly killed in the attack of the corpse tide.

When they thought of the tragic scene at that time, they felt lingering fear.

Liu Xing was also apprehensive about corpses. After looking at the time, he said, "Why don't we go back and rest for a while, and come down after lunch?"

Since the checkpoints on the outer three floors of Zhushen Cave will change with time, if you miss the most dangerous time at noon, you should be able to avoid the tide of corpses perfectly.

At least you don't have to face the disgusting insects like corpse beetles.

"Brother, we don't seem to be able to go back." Little Peanut suddenly reminded timidly.

"That's right! There's no way ahead!" Qianqian blinked her big eyes and said.

"What?" Liu Xing turned around.

Sikong Lei, Daoist Pu Feng, Zhang Qiufa, and Yue Furong also looked behind them.

When they found that not only the stairs disappeared, but also the bright spots at the entrance disappeared, they all stood there dumbfounded.

Zhuang Muqing didn't panic at all: "Master, if you want this ladder to reappear, you must first pass through the barriers on the outer three floors, or you will be trapped forever."

"Why didn't you say this earlier?" Liu Xing said helplessly.

After all, Xiao Peanut, Qianqian, and Deng Qi have all followed in now, and if they are in danger, if they can't take care of them, the loss outweighs the gain.

"I thought you knew!" Zhuang Muqing laughed.

"Okay!" Liu Xing scratched his head. He didn't want to argue with Zhuang Muqing, so he took the lead and continued to walk forward.

Sikong Lei followed behind with a flashlight.

However, Xiaobai and Dabaihu crawled on the spot, unwilling to leave.

And there was a look of anxiety in his eyes.

"What's going on?" Liu Xing thought it was Xiao Peansheng who was getting emotional, which made Da Baihu unwilling to leave, so he turned around and asked.

"The big white tiger sensed danger, so it's not willing to move forward, it's normal!" Zhuang Muqing said slowly.

"Where is the danger?" Liu Xing asked, spreading his hands.

"It may be the corpses hiding among the corpses, or it may be..." Before Zhuang Muqing finished speaking, there was a rustling sound from the ground.

Standing tall, Sikong Lei could see far away, so he quickly raised his flashlight to look.

When he saw the purple-blue and purple-red corpses all around him, his eyes widened in bewilderment and he couldn't speak.

"Run!" Daoist Pu Feng, despite his age, was very nimble. He jumped two or three meters away and ran towards the exit of the stairs.

But soon he ran back again.

Because the surrounding environment is dark, there is no exit at all.

And there are densely packed corpses all around.

These corpses formed an encirclement circle with ferocity, surrounding everyone.

"Brother, I'm afraid!"

"I'm afraid too, there are so many disgusting bugs!"

Little Peanut Qianqian had never seen such a battle before, so she was so frightened that she yelled out.

Xiaobai and Dabaihu roared in a low voice, trying to use the power of the tiger to drive away the corpses, but it was to no avail.

"Don't be afraid!" Zhuang Muqing reached out and hugged Qianqian.

Tie Hanhan picked up Little Peanut and stood beside Liu Xing forming a triangle, watching more and more corpses around him vigilantly.

There was no fear in the eyes of their mother and son, and some were dignified.

The husband and wife Zhang Qiufa and Yue Furong had seen this battle before. Although they were a little scared, their reaction was to face it calmly. The two of them quickly took out the oil bottle they had prepared earlier from their backpacks and prepared to use Oil bottles burn a way out.

However, in the next second, the two of them were dumbfounded.

It turned out that Deng Qi, who had never seen a wave of corpses before, was so frightened that he passed out at this moment. No matter what Daoist Pufeng shouted, he didn't respond at all.

"Liu Xing, think of a way!" Sikong Lei had no choice but to carry Deng Qi on his shoulders in desperation.

There is no way, if Deng Qi is left alone like this, then if he gets out alive later, he will be ashamed to explain to Liu Lao.

"You all be quiet!" Liu Xing was more anxious than anyone else at this moment. It wasn't that he wasn't thinking of a way, but that there was no good way to think of it in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that there were more and more corpses emerging in the darkness, none of them dared to come within five meters of him, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhuang Muqing also noticed this scene, she glanced at everyone in surprise, seeing that there was nothing unusual, she was confused for a while.

Because corpse weeters are born naturally, they live by sucking human internal organs and flesh and blood, and they have never had anything to be afraid of.

"Could it be because of the invisibility robe?" Thinking of this, Zhuang Muqing was about to open his backpack when he suddenly froze.

Tie Hanhan, Pu Feng Daochang, Sikong Lei, Zhang Qiufa, and Yue Furong were also dumbfounded, because they found that the pure white finger on Liu Xing's left thumb, that is, the ice dragon finger, suddenly bloomed at this time Dazzling white light.

The white light became brighter and brighter, to the point that it illuminated the surrounding area of ​​[-] meters like daylight.
