Mystery Leaks

Chapter 426

I was terrified when I heard it, that thing actually attacked us, but it didn't work?
It's not unreasonable to think about it. When the thing cut off the head of the unlucky guy, it said that no one could walk out of the abyss alive. It meant that it wanted to kill everyone.

However, the existence of the blue lantern created obstacles for it. On the way here, I could feel its cold eyes many times. It must be staring at us, and it is understandable for us to attack us.

The question is, since it attacked us, how did it fail?
It was discovered by the iron-headed Buddha and other experts, so it destroyed its plan, but this cannot withstand scrutiny. If the iron-headed Buddha and others can destroy the plan of the black shadow, why didn't they wake us up, but left in a hurry?

"How could this be?" Cao Nan was bewildered.

I was also surprised and looked at the fat man.

The fat man shrugged and said, "I don't know what happened, but we were left behind. That thing must have attacked us."

"Could something interfere with it?" Hu Lai asked suspiciously.

There was a flash of lightning in my mind, and I thought of an existence—the organizer who led me here.It must have a purpose for bringing me here. Sombra wanted to kill me because he was messing up its layout, so it had no choice but to make a move.

Soon, Hu Lai and Huang Mao both thought of this possibility, looked at each other, and both looked at me.

I nodded imperceptibly, indicating that I was thinking the same as them; since the planner can arrange an evil spirit to guide us to find the way to the devil's abyss, then he will definitely be able to reach into the abyss, and even if it doesn't work, it will In the abyss, watching us from the depths of the forest.

Then, everyone who was still asleep woke up.

Looking at where they were, I was instantly more convinced of this.

Because they are all people with themselves as the center of the circle, about seven or eight steps away, the black shadow must have cast some kind of secret technique that prevented us from waking up, and the core of the spellcasting is himself.

Others are just joint and several.

At this time, the green light was still on, burning faintly.

I turned it off and put it in the bag. At this time, the other five or six people also woke up. Like us, they were all in shock, and Qi Donghai was also there.

"The corpse demon is behind, it's coming!" Soon, someone pointed at the back and screamed.

We immediately turned our heads and found that the corpse demon had indeed appeared behind, slowly walking towards us.

My scalp is numb. We are not a large team at this time, but a small team of only 11 people. If the corpse demon rushes over, the eleven hearts don't know that the dog is not enough to eat it. "We have to go on the road. If we don't walk, the corpse demon will pounce on us." The fat man changed his expression and said hastily.

We all nodded, and immediately ran wildly away from the corpse demon; this thing is too scary, even if we are ten times stronger, we will not be able to match it.

After running for quite a while, we stopped because we had to hear that there were five forks in front of us.

The ground is full of stone roads, without even a footprint, and I don't know which way to go.

"I gonna go see."

Huang Mao immediately ran to the intersection to observe carefully, looking for traces. Soon, his face changed drastically, and he said, "No, no traces were found."

"How is this possible? More than 100 people passed, how could there be no trace?" The fat man couldn't believe it.

"Really not." Huang Mao walked around again, and expanded the range, shaking his head with an ugly expression.

"You killed the Qing family!" The fat man hugged his head, his face turned pale, and said, "Either the traces have been removed, or they never came here at all."

"They haven't been here before, how could it be?" I was stunned, and said, "There is only one way to come."

"It's impossible. We are obviously being targeted. We missed the other party's cover-up." The fat man was anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Huang Mao was thoughtful, and his face changed drastically, and he immediately led us back. After walking for a long time, he stopped to observe the road, and his face became uglier the more he looked: "No, there are only traces left by us, other people's No."

"Then we must have missed the intersection, we are the only ones here." Hu Lai's eyes twitched.

"Then go back quickly, maybe you can find the intersection." Qi Donghai immediately suggested.

"late!"

Fatty, Hu Lai, and Huang Mao said at the same time, their eyes looked at the way they came.

A skeleton in ancient costume walked out of the dense forest, it was the corpse demon.

"Well, it's a big blow this time." Cao Nan turned pale with shock.

Qi Donghai also said: "There is no retreat, we can only go one way to the dark."

"But there are five ways, which way to go?" I wondered.

Hu Lai and Fatty looked at each other and shook their heads.

The fat man said: "This is under the devil's abyss, covered by flowing clouds and mist, I can't tell the direction, and there is no basis for judgment at all."

The crowd immediately looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while, but behind, the corpse demon approached step by step, staring at us with scarlet eyes, maybe it would pounce on us at any time, if it was hungry.

"Choose one at random, if you don't choose again, you're screwed." Qi Donghai said anxiously.

"I have the dragon-finding ruler, you can try it." At this time, Xiong Daweng, who had been silent all this time, said in a low voice. After speaking, he put down the big wooden plaque and leaned against his body, and took out a very delicate dragon-finding ruler from his pocket.

The dragon-seeking ruler is a kind of thing similar to a compass, except that it does not have the function of indicating the direction. Its purpose is very simple. It is used to distinguish good and bad when the direction fails.

Grave robbers love this stuff.

Because in general, tombs of normal size will obscure the secrets of the heavens, not to mention the direction. Inside, a simple dragon-finding ruler will be easier to use than a precision instrument such as a compass.

But there are many problems with this simple thing. Many times, it fails, and the failure is not obvious, because its direction has no reason to say.

In many cases, it is better to say that it is a dice than a dragon-finding ruler. I will choose whoever the little cock touches.In fact, it is not much different from the decision of flipping a coin. It is completely random. I just seek a kind of psychological comfort, thinking that this is the guidance of God.

When Gong Tianyang went to the tomb, he used a dragon-seeking ruler, but it was so big that he had to carry it by himself, and the direction it pointed was not auspicious.

Unexpectedly, this time, the Xunlong ruler appeared again, and it was a very delicate Xunlong ruler with many beautiful patterns engraved on it. The longest pointer was only half a foot long, and it was inlaid with some colorful gems. It looks very fancy, like a little girl's toy, and it really doesn't match the bear's big arms and round waist.

"Is this thing reliable?" The corners of Cao Nan's mouth twitched, and the others also showed suspicious expressions.Even Hu Lai and Fatty have doubts.

"Don't worry, my dragon-seeking ruler is very effective, it was given to me by my grandma, and she told me not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary." Xiong Da said confidently, "Isn't it just a last resort now? "

Fatty was speechless, sighed and shook his head, said: "All right, a dead horse will be a living horse doctor."

We all nodded, there was nothing else we could do at this time.

Xiong Dashi straightened the Xunlong ruler, facing the five forked roads, and recited in a low voice: "The formulas of Xunlong are not passed on much, and the ancestors can be recognized in the mountain by looking at the sharp circle. The screens are listed and the accounts are often dropped, and the hall down the stairs. The dragon with the waist of the bee and the knees of the crane wears and changes, and the remaining branches are pinched and sent to the ring. The living dragon and the snake dragon swing and fold, and they are broken and connected together. Take the warehouse and the storehouse to walk from the dragon, and pass through the gorge to protect yourself. Front welcome and back send There is no interruption, the lotus root is broken and the thread is continuous and mysterious."

After the voice fell, a miraculous scene appeared.

The dragon-finding ruler automatically shifted without wind, pointing to the penultimate intersection on the right, and it was very accurate, pointing right in the middle of the road.

"Well, is this really possible?!" Cao Nan's eyes widened.

I was also amazed, it's amazing that this bare pointer can really guide the way.

The others were also amazed.

Cao Nan still felt that it was not enough, so he said to Xiong Dao: "Do it again, if the two times point to the same intersection, we will go on the road."

In the end, Xiong Da shook his head resolutely, and said: "That won't work, my grandma said that the dragon-seeking ruler can only be used once, and you have to do it after you use it up, otherwise it won't work in the future."

"Sincerity makes spirit?" said the fat man.

"How do you know, my grandma said so too." Xiong Da's eyes lit up, as if he had found a bosom friend.

The fat man twitched his mouth, and turned to us, "Just this one, there's no need to pick a head."

So we nodded and walked to the penultimate one on the right. At this moment, the corpse demon was already very close, and there was really no time to hesitate any longer.

We trotted for a while, and stopped when we knew that the corpse was out of sight.

Originally, we abducted in with hope in our hearts, because the performance of Xunlongchi was so amazing, but the more we walked, the more we felt sad.

Because we found that the dense vegetation next to it gradually became thinner, and the ground surface began to show a burnt-like color, and at the same time exude a strange smell.

Looking up at the sky, the flowing clouds and white mist in the sky gradually turned gray and dimmed.

After walking for a while, a round skeleton appeared on the side of the road ahead. The bone color was black, and I don't know what it was. Half of it was outside, and half was in the soil. Buried obliquely in the soil, about two people high.

"Our direction seems ominous." Cao Nan swallowed and said.

My eyelids were also jumping, the color of the sky, coupled with the increasingly "desolate" scene, made people feel uneasy, and the appearance of a skeleton in front of my eyes was a bad omen.

"What is this? It's quite big." Qi Donghai asked.

"Could it be a big worm?" I said, of all the big guys I've come into contact with, the big worm impressed me the most.

"no!"

In the end, Hu Lai and Fatty said at the same time.

I looked at Hu Lai, as a cultivator who was born as an insect exorcising master, his understanding of big insects is absolutely unrivaled.

Hu Lai said: "Big worms travel underground all year round, and the resistance is very high. Although there are all kinds of strange things, no matter how long they are, their bodies are streamlined, and generally the bones of the limbs are underdeveloped, while the tailbone is well developed. If you look at this corpse again, there is no one is consistent."

Suddenly, I compared it, and it really wasn't. This thing has very thick leg bones, but a very thin tail, and the overall skeleton is not smooth. It should be a beast on the surface.

"The legs of this thing are very strong, and the bones of the neck are also thick. The head must not be too small. It is good at running and biting. It must be some kind of predatory beast in ancient times." The fat man analyzed, and then said after a pause: "And the bones After such a long time, it has not completely decayed, this thing must have been extraordinary in life, and it is by no means an ordinary beast."

"That's... a monster that has been trained?!" Huang Mao said tentatively.

Hu Lai nodded: "Nine times out of ten."

It dawned on me that in the age of mythology, not only humans can cultivate, but other creatures can also cultivate, including beasts, and the best ones can even cultivate into human bodies and become demons.

The body of the Goddess Nuwa seems to be a snake demon.

This may seem unbelievable now, but in the age of mythology, this is a real thing. Nuwa led the human race and other powerful people with her demon body to resist evil spirits, sealed the passage of evil spirits with great magic power, and finally fell.

The human race has praised her merits and virtues no matter in the Dharma practice or in the secular world, and even honored her as the mother god. The story of Nuwa's creation of human beings is well-known and written in textbooks.

After saying a few more words, we continued to move forward. Soon, the second skeleton appeared. It was also a beast. It looked a bit like an elephant, but it was much bigger.

Then came the third, the fourth... the tenth...

The number is increasing and denser, and at the same time, the vegetation slowly disappears completely.

Half an hour later, a huge wasteland of bone burials appeared before our eyes.The densely packed bones of all kinds are like a forest, extending from the front to the distant skyline.
