Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 172 You Fell into the Dung Pit That Year

Inside the dark and empty cave, there was a sudden deathly silence.

Ran Qing and Long Zongshu looked at each other and saw the horror on each other's faces.

Mo Li stood there stiffly, holding the flashlight, without saying a word.

Even the crazy cousin who had just been laughing and talking nonsense at the words on the stone wall shut up at this moment.

Even the dark-skinned young man, whose brain was filled with evil spirits and who was mad and stupid, realized something at this moment.

He stood frozen in fear, his eyes looking upwards in terror, his whole body trembling, not daring to make a sound.

And the heavy and slow friction sound slowly crawled across the ground outside the cave.

That thing actually came near them and was getting closer and closer.

Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle

The sound of snake scales rubbing against stone pillars was extremely harsh.

Many places in the stone forest are only wide enough for one person to pass through, and such space is obviously too cramped for the giant snake.

It crawled slowly among the stone pillars, its body constantly rubbing against them, making a harsh rustling sound.

With such a noise, it is hard to imagine how thick it is.

——A giant snake thicker than a human?
This association is simply creepy.

The terrifying and gloomy rustling sound was getting closer and closer, and finally came to the outside of the cave where the four people were.

In the darkness, Ran Qing tightly gripped the death hammer, nervously holding his breath and staring at the cave entrance.

Three flames slowly ignited on Long Zongshu's shoulders.

A dim flame flickered in the darkness, yet it emitted no light to illuminate it, nor did it have any warmth. It was as if the flame did not exist.

The tall and thin boy's face was pale and his body was shaking with fear.

It was the first time he faced such a terrifying evil spirit, and he was obviously extremely nervous.

But he still half-squatted and lunged forward, posing a very strange posture, as if he was ready to meet the enemy.

But neither Ran Qing nor Long Zongshu had the confidence at this moment.

All that filled their lives was a cold, gloomy fear...

Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle

The strange friction sound above my head lingered at the entrance of the cave for a while, as if it had sensed that there was someone in the cave.

But under the nervous gaze of Ran Qing and others, the rustling sound lingered above their heads for a while, and then did not stay and went away directly.

That thing didn't come in.

Only when the heavy and harsh sound of snake scales rubbing against each other disappeared in the distance did the people in the cave catch their breath.

Long Zongshu's cousin fell to the ground in horror, muttering with fear on his face.

"Snake God! It's the snake god!"

"The snake god is looking for his sacrifice! He wants to eat us! We are all going to die! We are all going to die..."

The crazy cousin was completely scared.

But it's not his fault.

Because even Ran Qing and Long Zongshu, two unorthodox people who specialize in exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts, looked grim at this moment.

Ran Qing murmured, "I can't afford to offend that thing outside..."

The giant snake did not come down, but just wandered around the cave entrance.

But this time the distance between the two sides was too close, and Ran Qing's perception of the Yin person finally took effect.

He clearly felt the huge gap.

Things outside are not something he can afford to offend now.

The evil ghost pointed to by the horoscope card is not the strange snake on the ground.

Mo Li looked at the stone altar behind him and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect the evil master's corpse to actually crawl out... That Taoist Zhang wasn't any good either. His demon-suppressing stone tablet didn't work."

This was an extremely bad situation. A wandering corpse of an evil master, even if it was at its most exhausted, was not something that these three rookies could provoke.

Ran Qing walked behind the stone platform with a flashlight and said, "There's still space inside..."

The stone platform is not far from the cave entrance, but the darkness behind it leads to nowhere. Many underground caves caused by karst landforms are interconnected and have huge spaces.

Like the Rhino Cave they had visited before, there were mountains and cliffs underground, and it was terrifyingly large.

The cave in front of me seems to have a large internal space.

After all, in ancient times, the natives worshipped the evil lord here, and the giant snake should have lived deep in the cave in front when it was alive.

Ran Qing looked at the cave ahead and whispered, "There's no chance to find any corpse flowers now. Let's first catch the ghost hiding in the cave, and then we can act based on the situation."

Although they didn't know why the giant snake didn't go underground, since it didn't come in, Ran Qing and the others had no choice but to continue walking into the cave.

The road ahead is dangerous and strange, but Ran Qing trusts Aunt Liu's judgment.

According to Aunt Liu's booklet, the evil spirits in the Huaga Tiankeng are not very dangerous.

At least Ran Qing can deal with the evil ghost in the cave.

Ran Qing walked around the stone platform and into the darkness.

The cave hall in front was dark and vast. The flashlight could not reach the edge of the cave wall when it shone around, nor could it reach the top of the cave when it looked above the head.

The boundless and deep darkness, like a pitch-black ocean, slowly swallowed the four people.

Long Zongshu's cousin was terrified. He grabbed Long Zongshu in fear and cried softly, "I don't want to go in!"

"That's the snake god's home! I don't want to go in there!"

"We'll die if we go in!"

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost in there!"

A crazy, dark-skinned young man, speaking incoherently.

Long Zongshu's repeated persuasion was useless. In the end, Mo Li stepped forward, glared at the dark-skinned young man and said, "If you don't come with us, then the three of us will go on our own and leave you here alone!"

"As soon as we leave, that snake outside will crawl in and eat you!"

After saying that, Mo Li directly pulled Long Zongshu away.

The dark-skinned young man who saw this scene was so frightened that he quickly got up.

"Don't leave me! Zongshu, don't leave me!"

The dark-skinned young man wailed, "When you were a kid, I was the one who fished you out of the cesspool. Have you forgotten? You can't abandon your third brother!"

The dark-skinned young man chased after Long Zongshu crying and grabbed the tall and thin boy.

In the darkness, Long Zongshu's face turned red.

He looked at Ran Qing and Mo Li awkwardly.

But he found that Ran Qing and Mo Li seemed to have heard nothing. Ran Qing pointed ahead and said, "If you encounter something later, if it is an evil ghost, leave it to me, and you can help from the side."

"If it's a witch or a zombie, I'll have to trouble you, Zong Shu. Mo Li and I will be there to help you."

Ran Qing brought up the old matter for the sake of conversation. This was the consensus reached by the few people before entering the mountain.

But his reaction made the introverted and timid tall and thin boy feel relieved.

The redness on Long Zongshu's face faded a little, and he said, "Okay, no problem."

The four of them continued to move forward, with Ran Qing walking in front and Long Zongshu following behind with his cousin.

The gloomy little wooden sign silently guides the direction in the darkness.

The light illuminated an area of ​​about two meters in the darkness, and the four people lined up in a row.

Their shadows followed one after another on the dry ground.

One in front and one behind, five shadows...

Ran Qing's face changed and he stopped abruptly.

He looked back behind him.

But under the dim light, there was an extra figure in the team of four.

Five people stood in the darkness, looking at each other.

But Ran Qing couldn't find where the extra person was!
