Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 161 Underground Cave
In a dark underground cave, four people and a dog sat on the edge of the cave to rest.

The bags they carried were too heavy and they were already extremely tired after walking all the way.

And there are countless monsters in the cave ahead.

At this time, everyone must conserve enough energy and get enough rest.

If monsters attack, you can respond in time.

Long Zongshu and his third brother sat together. The dark-skinned young man had already gotten over his initial fear.

He held up the flashlight and scanned the cave from time to time, feeling a little uneasy and curious.

"I didn't expect that what Grandpa and the others said was actually true. There really are changelings in the world..."

"Zongshu, tell me honestly, you guys didn't come here to do any kind of investigation, did you?"

The dark-skinned young man nervously grabbed his cousin and asked, "Are you here to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits?"

"I heard my second grandfather and his friends say that our ancestors used to work for the government to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits."

"Is the sinkhole ahead really haunted?"

Long Zongshu's third brother looks to be around thirty years old, but his personality is still lively and he is full of curiosity about such magical and strange things.

He was terrified, but also excited.

Ran Qing and Mo Li looked at each other and took the initiative to reveal their identities.

"I am a Yin-walking person, and my master is Mo Baifeng, a Yin-walking person from Zangke."

"I am Mo Baifeng's daughter."

The two men introduced themselves.

But Long Zongshu's third brother was extremely curious: "What is a ghost walker?"

He doesn't know much about the evil ways.

Long Zongshu gave his third brother a brief explanation and explained the purpose of their visit to the tiankeng.

After hearing this, Long Zongshu's third brother nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, if there is an evil spirit in this tiankeng, please make sure to take it away."

"Otherwise, if that thing gets out, it will be dangerous for us who live nearby."

"Last time, Liu Laoyao from Sanjia Village just stood on the top of the tiankeng and took a look, and he became seriously ill for more than a month."

"If that thing gets out of the tiankeng, someone might die."

Long Zongshu's third brother was terrified.

Everyone had rested enough by now, so they packed their bags and continued on their way.

The cave ahead was enormous, and even when the flashlight was shone overhead, it couldn't reach the top of the cave.

In the darkness outside the flashlight, a strange rustling sound slowly followed Ran Qing and the other three.

The monsters seemed to know they had been discovered and no longer hid.

There was a rustling sound, and Long Zongshu, who was walking at the back, faced backward and moved backward.

Long Zongshu's third brother was still walking in front to lead the way, but he was obviously much slower and more cautious.

He muttered in a low voice: "Classmate Ran Qing, when the witch comes out later, you must protect me..."

As a ghost walker, Ran Qing's eyesight is definitely the best among everyone.

Even in the darkness outside the flashlight, he could vaguely see a range of about five meters.

This is also the reason why he discovered the trace of the witch in the first place.

The four of them continued forward, followed by rustling sounds in the darkness.

Mo Li suddenly said, "It seems that there is more than just a transformation..."

The rustling noises were noisy and chaotic, and I didn't know what kind of monster it was.

But it was indeed as Mo Li said, there was more than one kind of monster following them.

The four people walked forward in the darkness, attracting other monsters to follow.

Ran Qing frowned and listened for a while, then said, "There's the sound of flapping wings...could it be a bat?"

He remembered Long Zongshu's third brother, who said there was a bat nest in the sinkhole.

The dark-skinned young man leading the way said, "It can't be bats. Bats stink. If there were bats in the cave, the ground would be covered in bat droppings."

"There are other caves in the tiankeng, but we have never been in. Those bats are in another cave." At this time, Long Zongshu's third brother suddenly stopped and said.

"There's a cliff ahead, be careful."

In the darkness, the wide, rocky ground suddenly broke apart, and boundless darkness stretched out in front like a huge mouth.

After a few people carefully climbed up, they found that it was a vertical cliff with no bottom in sight.

A chilly wind blew in from the bottom of the cliff, making several people's faces numb.

"This section of the road is a bit difficult to walk on. Please follow me closely and don't miss a step."

Long Zongshu's third brother walked along the edge of the cliff with a flashlight and found a steep path leading down.

The path is extremely narrow and can only accommodate one person.

The four of them lined up and walked down, with Long Zongshu still walking at the end.

A cold wind blew in from the bottom of the cliff, and the four of them walked carefully down the winding and steep path, all of them were very cautious.

If you miss a step on this road, you will fall directly off the cliff.

Although because you can't see the bottom, the fear of heights is reduced.

But because I couldn't see the bottom, the endless darkness beneath my feet seemed like the huge mouth of a monster that was devouring people's hearts. After looking at it for too long, I felt dizzy, as if I would fall into the darkness and be swallowed up in the next second.

Long Zongshu's third brother said, "We're almost at the bottom, hold on a little longer."

Although he was afraid of the monsters in the cave, he still acted as a guide, reminding everyone to be careful at all times.

When everyone finally managed to reach the bottom of the cliff, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Carrying such a heavy bag, I came down this dangerous cliff path, the entire road was almost vertical.

This experience was simply terrifying.

Ran Qing looked up at the cliff behind him and murmured, "This is probably over a hundred meters high..."

Who would have thought that there would be such a large space underground in the belly of the mountain.

There are even cliffs.

Long Zongshu's third brother said, "We're almost there once we reach this cliff. We can walk out a short distance ahead."

"But it's getting a little wet here, be careful of slipping."

Long Zongshu’s third brother reminded him.

Ran Qingcai noticed that the ground was wet. The four of them continued to move forward. The sound of dripping water could be faintly heard from the dark cave in front of them.

Those are the stalactites dripping from the top of the cave.

Tick-tick-tick-

The rhythmic sound of dripping water echoed clearly in the darkness, and there was an inexplicable silence here.

Mo Li said in surprise: "Those witches didn't come with us?"

Ran Qing also noticed it.

The strange rustling sounds that had followed them all the way had now completely disappeared.

In the humid cave, only the faint sound of dripping stalactites can be heard.

It was dead silent underground, and there was no sound of monsters following.

Those monsters seemed to be blocked by the steep cliff that was over a hundred meters high.

Long Zongshu said in surprise: "The Bian Po won't go downhill?"

Ran Qing shook his head solemnly: "No, the witch is more flexible than a living person."

That kind of monster is extremely powerful and flexible. Ran Qing and the others can walk down that cliff, but they definitely can't stop Bian Po.

There must be some other reason why the witches dare not come down...

While Ran Qing was thinking, the third brother Long Zongshu who was walking in front suddenly screamed in fear.

Ran Qing subconsciously rushed forward, shining the flashlight forward.

In the darkness, a pale face stared straight at them...
