My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Sun Pingkuan's symptoms are a bit like claustrophobia. People with claustrophobia will have faster breathing and heartbeat in the dark, and may even be at risk of shock.

Zhang Hao had no choice but to search his body to see if there were any blank talismans left so that he could draw a fire talisman himself.

At this moment, there was a sudden vibration from above, and then stones on the wall fell down and hit them.

"Fuck!!"

Fatty Wang rushed forward subconsciously, grabbed Zhang Hao and Hao Xie, pressed their heads under himself, and used his back to block the stones.

Sun Pingkuan was left behind alone. The double impact of the boundless darkness and the shaking from above almost made him collapse.

"Fuck, can you guys please control me?"

“Can’t you just pounce on me?” the fat man retorted subconsciously.

The two almost quarreled in such an environment.

"Enough, it's already this time, why are you still arguing?" Zhang Hao shouted at them, unable to bear it any longer and asked them to stop arguing.

Sun Pingkuan groped along the wall and finally found them, then held them tightly.

The shaking above continued. They had no flashlights and didn't know where they fell, so they could only continue walking down the wall carefully.

Now we can only go down because the shaking comes from above, and something may have happened up there.

"Has there ever been an earthquake here before?" Zhang Hao took the time to turn around and ask Sun Pingkuan.

Sun Pingkuan shook his head.

"I don't know. As far as I can remember, there has been no news of earthquakes here. Although this is a mountainous area, the mountains are not high, so there shouldn't be any earthquakes here."

In other words, if it wasn't an earthquake, then there must be something terrible going on up there.

"If it's not an earthquake, then it's a monster!" the fat man said suddenly.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Hao Xie actually turned around and prepared to go upstairs, and Fatty Wang tried his best to stop him.

"The little brother is still up there!"

"Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous it is up there?"

"But the little brother is also in danger. We left him up there alone."

When Hao Xie was excited, he was very strong and Fatty Wang could not stop him. Fortunately, Zhang Hao turned around and patted Hao Xie on the shoulder.

"Calm down. We left Zhang Qilin up there to let him deal with this situation. Don't you know what his skills are? If you can't even handle him, what's the point of you going up there? If you're really worried, you might as well find out the truth down there and then go meet up with Brother."

Although the words were spoken seriously, Zhang Hao could understand Hao Xie's panic and helplessness.

They had been separated for so long because of the Demon Lord's matter, and now they were suddenly separated again after only a few days together, and in a completely unfamiliar place. The other was in danger, but he was powerless to do anything. For Hao Xie, this was the most painful thing.

Zhang Hao was not much better off, but there was nothing he could do. The overall situation now was that he had to find out the truth about Sun Pingkuan and the conspiracy in the ancestral hall.

They continued to walk down by feeling the wall, and as they walked, Zhang Hao suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why was it so strange? The footsteps of the four of them were chaotic, but they were all very light.

But just now Zhang Hao clearly heard another voice, which was very drawn out and very soft, and it would be impossible to detect it without listening carefully.

It was like someone was walking barefoot on the ground, the footsteps were extremely heavy, and the feet almost rubbed against the ground with every step.

Zhang Hao slowly slowed down his pace, and the footsteps of several people became clearer. Hao Xie also noticed the extra footsteps.

Hao Xie felt cold all over in an instant.

This voice... doesn't belong to them at all!
There's a person sneaking in among them!

If he spoke rashly now, it would most likely alarm the other party. Hao Xie wanted to remind Fatty Wang, but Fatty Wang has always been slow to react to such things.

Zhang Hao suddenly said, "Let's put our hands on the shoulders of the people in front of us so that we don't get separated when we walk. Let's all be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hand fell on Zhang Hao's shoulder.

"Row."

They walked forward, and except for Fatty Wang who was walking at the end, everyone had a hand on their shoulder.

Generally speaking, if something sneaks into the team, it should be at the end of the team.

But in the end, Fatty Wang didn’t notice anything wrong, so it could only be the front.

Suddenly, Hao Xie asked, "Sun Pingkuan, did you put both hands on my shoulders? It's not easy to walk like this, right?"

After hearing this, Sun Pingkuan was silent for a few seconds. When he spoke again, his voice trembled slightly.

“But I only let go of one hand…”

Hearing this, Hao Xie stopped subconsciously.

——There are two hands on my shoulders.

If Sun Pingkuan only let go of one hand, whose hand was it?
At this moment, everyone noticed this and stopped all actions involuntarily.

Zhang Hao moved his foot and unexpectedly kicked something.

The thing rolled down the steps like a stone, and the echo became stronger and stronger. After about half a minute, everything returned to silence, which indicated that they might have almost reached the bottom.

When approaching the bottom, one more person quietly joined the team. Zhang Hao couldn't help but recall that when he visited the water cave in the past, ghosts in the lake often possessed people, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Once people turned around, they would be replaced by them.

"Which of you turned back just now?"

No one answered, so Zhang Hao continued, "From now on, everyone should just put their right hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them."

The three people behind him did as they were told, but Hao Xie felt two hands still on his shoulders.

Under extreme tension, Hao Xie's breathing became faster and his heart beat like a drum, as if everyone could hear his heartbeat in this silent space.

At this moment, Zhang Hao turned around suddenly and grabbed the hand on Hao Xie's left shoulder like lightning.

The touch left Zhang Hao speechless.

The hand was as withered as that of a centenarian, shaped like a dry claw, covered with only a thin layer of flesh and blood, without any temperature and icy cold to the bone.

The moment it was touched, the hand suddenly retracted.

"Don't run away!"

Tangtang yelled loudly, and in desperation, she bit her finger and drew a spell on the wall!
In an instant, an orange-red light illuminated the small space. Zhang Hao caught a glimpse of a black shadow flashing by, and it disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't even see its face clearly.

After the hand left, Hao Xie leaned weakly against the wall.

Fatty Wang rushed forward while there was still light.

"Are you OK?"

Hao Xie’s heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his chest.

"I'm fine. That hand that was on my left shoulder just now...did you see clearly what it was?" Hao Xie asked Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao shook his head and stared at the direction where the black shadow left.

“I didn’t see it clearly, but I’m sure that this thing is inside the ancestral hall. It’s definitely not the abyss monster that Sun Pingkuan mentioned.”

They didn't know what it was specifically, but they were certain that although it was close to them, it didn't attack them, so it must have other purposes.

Sun Pingkuan was obviously also very frightened. His expression was dull. He leaned against the wall and looked at the three of them quietly. The emotions in his eyes were complicated and unpredictable.

After Fatty Wang confirmed that Hao Xie was safe and sound, he suddenly grabbed Sun Pingkuan's hand.

"I won't ask anything else now. Just tell me, what we just saw, is it related to you?"

"I was scared too. I'm really scared of this place. You can continue to doubt me, but don't abandon me... Let me follow Zhang Hao."

So Hao Xie and Sun Pingkuan exchanged positions, and the leading and trailing groups were still the same. Zhang Hao felt Sun Pingkuan's hand on his shoulder tremble slightly.

It was a trembling that he tried to hide but to no avail.

In other words, Sun Pingkuan might really not know about that thing just now, or maybe he knew about it, but that thing was definitely not his accomplice.

On the way, Zhang Hao drew a talisman on himself, and a faint light emanated from his body. Although it was not strong, it could at least allow him to barely see the road and others clearly.

With the help of this light, Sun Pingkuan leaned even harder against Zhang Hao.

His reaction made Zhang Hao wonder whether Sun Pingkuan had experienced a dark time before, which was why he was so scared.

After continuing to go down for a long time, Zhang Hao saw a door.

It was a wooden door with no mechanism on the side and no idea how to open it.

"Do you know how to open this door?"

Sun Pingkuan took a closer look, then shook his head and stepped back.

"I do not know."

"Then come and take a look. Even if you don't know, this is your Sun family's door after all. Maybe you can see some clues."

Under Zhang Hao's gaze, Sun Pingkuan had no choice but to step forward, squinting his eyes and trying to find clues on the door.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a strange symbol.

It was a pattern formed by two crossed squares. This symbol... seemed to suddenly trigger a switch of memory in Sun Pingkuan's mind.

He covered his head and slapped it hard, uttering strange words from time to time.

Although Zhang Hao couldn't understand what he was shouting, it was not difficult to tell from his expression that he was in great pain.

Then he punched the sign on the door so hard that blood instantly gushed out from his joints.

Oddly enough, after the drop of blood fell on the door, it mysteriously disappeared, as if it was absorbed by the door!
Then, the door slowly opened, and a strange fragrance wafted into the air, exactly the same smell as in the coffin before!
When Sun Pingkuan smelled the scent, his body began to tremble involuntarily, and then he rushed towards the door frantically, and Hao Xie almost couldn't stop him.

"Quickly pull him aside! Let him walk in front and we will follow behind."

Zhang Hao vaguely felt that he might be about to lose control, so he let him go first.

Sure enough, not long after, his body trembled violently, and then ran forward uncontrollably.

If there was someone in front of him, he would definitely be knocked down.

Zhang Hao and others hurriedly caught up, only to see him running like a madman, muttering something, but no one could understand him.

puff--

There was a sound of water in front, and Zhang Hao stepped into a small puddle. Then, circles of light appeared around his feet.

It's the water that's glowing!
Soon, the fluorescence spread from the puddle to the surroundings, illuminating the entire cave!

Where exactly is this place?
Zhang Hao knew at a glance that the water must contain fluorescent plankton.

He usually only saw such creatures at the seaside.

However, this is a deep mountain place with no sea around, so how could such a thing be there?
Sun Pingkuan had rushed to the deepest part. This place was vast and boundless, and it was pitch black all around. Only the silver light illuminated some of his vision, but he didn't know where the edge of the light was.

Fatty Wang was exhausted and fell behind, panting. After walking for a while, he finally couldn't help but stop.

"Wait a minute! Let me stay at the end or wait here, I really can't walk any more!"

With no other options, Zhang Hao had to let Fatty Wang wait there.

"Don't run around. If anything happens, shout at any time. This may be the end."

At this moment, Fatty Wang didn't dare to joke. After making an OK gesture, he stood quietly where he was, taking steps from time to time to make the faint fluorescence brighter again so that Zhang Hao and others could notice its location.

After a while, Sun Pingkuan finally stopped running.

When Zhang Hao caught up, he saw that the fluorescent light in front seemed to be connected into a line, as if blocked by something. Was there a wall in front?

As Zhang Hao got closer, he finally saw what was ahead of him...

It is a huge cage. No one knows what is inside. Just by getting close to it, one can feel the huge threat it exudes.

"Owner……"

Sun Pingkuan muttered to himself.

"Here I am, Master. After going through so much hardship, I finally came to your side..."

When he spoke, his expression and tone were dull, even cold, but Zhang Hao could still feel the indescribable longing from his words.

What is he longing for? What is in the cage?

-

Zhang Qilin covered the wound on his arm, leaned against the wall, and fixed his eyes on the creature in front of him.

Yes, at this moment the woman in front of me can be described as a living being.

Not long after Zhang Hao and others left, the man who was lying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes.

After seeing Zhang Qilin, she suddenly attacked. Zhang Qilin was caught off guard and his arm was scratched. The wound was poisoned and the pain was unbearable.

The woman in front of him was grinning, with a strange red light in her eyes. She was definitely not any kind of zongzi he had seen before.

The green fluorescence of the bead in his mouth became stronger and stronger. Zhang Qilin vaguely felt that this thing might be the key to controlling this woman, but its fighting power was too strong and difficult to approach.

His knife was already stained with black blood, which dripped onto the ground...

The blood came from the woman's body. Although her body had not decayed, the blood was no longer the normal bright red, but dark brown, and emitted an indescribable strong smell.

This smell is usually associated with sweet or refreshing things, similar to fragrance and rot.

However, this smell... can only be described as dangerous.

Suddenly, the woman paused, as if she heard something, and tilted her head slightly to listen.

Soon, she seemed to be sure of something and began to walk around frantically, wanting to escape from this place, but she didn't know how to leave, and her movements were chaotic and disorganized.

Zhang Qilin realized that perhaps Zhang Hao and the others made some noise downstairs, which made the woman so excited.

This woman must have some secrets. If you want to help Zhang Hao and the others, you must defeat her first.

Zhang Qilin held on to his body, gripped the knife tightly again, placed his left hand on the blade, and slid it slowly.

The sharp blade cut the palm, leaving a long blood mark.

Now, he can only use his own blood as a guide to mobilize his strength...

The Qilin tattoo on his body was slightly hot. The previous battle had almost exhausted his strength. At this moment, he could only... could only risk his life.

-

Zhang Hao's body froze in place, not because of any external force, but because he couldn't believe it.

What on earth is this?

In the cage before him was a gigantic beast with a long dragon tail, huge wings, sharp scales, and a weird upper body and face.

The giant beast opened its mouth wide, and light green saliva dripped from between its teeth and fell into the water, like water dropping into an oil pan, instantly making the entire area boil.

The green fluorescence suddenly became violent, especially those surrounding the giant beast.

They were just a group of small creatures. Zhang Hao couldn't guess their emotions at the moment. Were they in pain from joy, or in pain with joy? (End of this chapter)
