But even if it is a mausoleum, who lit the fire?
Gu Jiu had not seen this fire before, which shows that it was not always there.
Gu Jiu didn't think too much and flew straight into the city.
He hadn't noticed it when he was flying in the air, until he actually entered the city. The further he walked in, he realized that the buildings in this city were much taller than he usually saw.
It feels like an ordinary house is more than twice as big.
The first thing that came to Gu Jiu’s mind was a long-waisted giant.
Because only a giant would need such a tall house.
These houses look strange, square and without tiles, just like coffins, except that at the diagonal positions of the roofs, there are two cat-ear-shaped sculptures in all of them.
The combination of "coffin" and "cat ears" makes the atmosphere even more eerie.
Gu Jiu walked inside while observing the surrounding environment.
He walked quite fast and quickly passed through most of the big city.
Then Gu Jiu discovered that the further he went in, the cleaner the city became.
It can even be said to be as clean as new.
Gu Jiu even had an illusion that the city had just been renovated and thoroughly cleaned, otherwise it would not be so clean.
Can you imagine that in this huge underground space, there is an underground city almost as big as Yanyang City, which is spotless?
Yes, spotless.
When Gu Jiu walked inside, he even felt that the soles of his shoes were dirty.
The reason these buildings have faint reflections is because they are too clean.
But think about it, it's impossible. This underground city is so large, and the architectural style is conservative and weird. It must have existed for a long time.
It was not until he heard the sound of water and cloth rubbing against each other that Gu Jiu realized he was wrong.
A light green river runs through the city. From Gu Jiu's perspective, the river seems very clear.
Not far ahead, more than a dozen tall-waisted giants were kneeling on the ground, wiping the stone path and the room with a large cloth.
Because they are very tall, at least a bit taller than these tall buildings, they look like ordinary people cleaning at home.
It turns out that there really are giants in this city.
Gu Jiu did not move forward. In order to confirm his guess, Gu Jiu came to a house.
The whole house had only one rather tall door and no windows. Gu Jiu felt that he would feel very suffocated if he were inside.
He walked to the door, and the energy flowed between his fingers, leaving a hole in the door like poking through a layer of paper.
Then Gu Jiu looked inside through the hole and saw only a mass of flesh.
Yes, a mass of yellowish meat almost occupied the entire view of the cave entrance.
There are giants in here!
But Gu Jiu didn't think this was their residence, but rather a prison.
Because it's too crowded.
At this time, a tall giant walked over, and Gu Jiu immediately moved and hid at the side of the room.
In his sight, he only saw a huge hand holding the cat-ear-like thing on the house.
Not long after, the top of the coffin-like house was opened, just like opening the lid of a pot.
Gu Jiu didn't expect that the cat ears were actually a mechanism handle, and it might only work with these giants.
Then, he smelled a fragrance.
He had smelled this smell before when he poked a hole in the door, but it was very faint. When the roof was completely lifted, the smell became stronger.
The aroma of cooked meat?
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jiu watched as the big hand dug out an eye from inside.
At this moment, Gu Jiu seemed to understand something and suddenly had an urge to vomit.
Chapter 36: Deep Darkness
Gu Jiu initially thought that those were houses, until he saw the tall-waisted giant digging out a huge eye from it, he realized that these might not be rooms, but a strange pot.
The thing in the pot was not a human, but a giant.
Do these long-waisted giants grow by eating their own kind?
Thinking of this, Gu Jiu suddenly felt horrified.
On the way from Pingbei County to Duanshui Sect, Gu Jiu and his companions couldn't understand why the appetite of thousands of giants was so astonishing, and there hadn't been many incidents of people being preyed upon near the north. How did these long-waisted giants survive?
Changing to a vegetarian diet?
Now it seems that these things are not only not vegetarian, but are even more perverted and eat the flesh of their own companions.
It turns out that this is how these guys survive, but where are there so many long-waisted giants for them to eat?
Gu Jiu quickly thought of the Gangpo, the thing called "the mouth of the underworld".
The reproductive ability of the long-waisted giants has always been poor. It is said that the males are a little weak. Now so many of them appear at once. It must be that thing's fault.
What surprised Gu Jiu was that after the tall-waisted giant dug out his eyes, he only ate a few pieces of his companion's flesh and then covered the roof again.
"It shouldn't be so little?" Gu Jiu guessed that the other party's appetite was too small compared to its body size.
Then, the tall-waisted giant put the two huge eyeballs into a jar at his waist, opened the roof of the second house, took out the two eyes, and ate a few bites of them.
It turns out that this is a case of accumulating little by little?
But what does this guy need so many eyes of the same kind for?
The tall-waisted giant kept closing his eyes and moving forward until the big jar on his waist was full, and then he walked into the depths of the city.
Gu Jiu knew there must be something strange going on, so he could only follow quietly.
His stealth was quite successful this time. The tall-waisted giants around him seemed to have their own things to do, either washing the streets or cleaning the houses. They looked like mechanical puppets, so they never noticed his presence.
Not long after, the building in front became more majestic, and it was quite suitable for the dwarf Gu Jiu to hide when he moved through it.
In this town of giants, he was naturally just a small man.
Ahead, a long staircase led to a high platform.
Even though Gu Jiu had amazing eyesight, he couldn't see the end of the stairs for a while.
Seeing the giant walking upwards, Gu Jiu couldn't help but follow him quietly.
There are straight stone walls on both sides of the stairs, which are difficult for flying monkeys to cross, but it is no problem for Gu Jiu.
It was as if there was a strong suction force on his feet, allowing him to walk on the ground as if it were flat ground.
After about a cup of tea, the upward stairs finally reached the end.
At the end is a huge platform in front of a palace.
Gu Jiu poked his head out slightly to look upwards, then immediately retracted it.
Because just now, he saw two rows of tall-waisted giants kneeling on the flat ground, like dogs, extending all the way to the depths of the palace.
Just by taking a glance, Gu Jiu estimated that there were at least two hundred giants on it.
He found a slightly better angle, poked his head out a little, and looked up.
At this time, these giants kneeling on the ground were like hungry dogs waiting for their food.
They stared at the long-waisted giant who had just collected the eyes with their huge eyes, their eyes full of desire.
This desire is naturally appetite, as if it were the appetite of someone who has been hungry for many days.
The tall-waisted giant really took out two eyeballs from inside like feeding a dog and threw them to the first tall-waisted giant kneeling on the ground.
After the giant ate the eyeballs of his own kind with a crunching sound, his body began to move up and down like a snake shedding its skin, which was very disgusting.
More giants experienced the same symptoms after eating the eyeballs.
Gu Jiu discovered a detail, that is, these giants never stood up from beginning to end. Could they be the same as those reptilian species outside?
The palace behind these tall-waisted giants was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.
Gu Jiu even had an illusion that the emperor of this dark world lived deep in the palace and controlled everything underground.
It is an existence that cannot be touched by human beings, and its appearance will only bring terrible disasters to the world.
So if the old woman is in there, Gu Jiu really wants to see it.
He wanted to see what the invincible woman described by Hua Ningfeng was like.
Now there is only one way forward, and it is extremely difficult for him to pass under the noses of so many long-waisted giants, especially when entering the palace.
At this time, there was already a rock layer on top, and it was not infinitely empty. It was only about twenty feet away from the bottom.
By the time he got here, Gu Jiu was already feeling a little tired.
Although he is a holy body, the saints in this world are also human beings, not those guys who control the world in mythology.
Gu Jiu felt that the word "land" would be more appropriate to describe the saints of this world.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Jiu seized an opportunity, jumped up like lightning, and then stuck to the top of the cave.
At this moment, the two rows of long-waisted giants lying on the ground below came into his sight. They looked like huge pythons, spreading all the way into the palace.
Gu Jiu was crawling along the wall of the cave without making any sound.
If a giant raised his head at this time, he would definitely discover Gu Jiu's existence.
Fortunately, these giants now seem only interested in eating the eyes of their own kind.
Not long after, Gu Jiu moved right above the palace and landed on the top of the palace like a ghost.
The palace was very large and tall, like a huge church, and was finally no longer square.
Its roof is sloped and covered with glazed tiles.
Maybe the thing inside really thinks of itself as an emperor.
Gu Jiu lay on the roof and gently pulled with his hand. A row of glazed tiles were suddenly pushed aside silently and overlapped on the side.
Through this gap, Gu Jiu could see the scene inside the palace.
This palace is quite tall, with a ceiling height of at least fifteen meters.
It was dark inside, as the light from the brick walls was much dimmer than outside.
In a daze, Gu Jiu saw many rough pillars standing there, like dragons and pythons, and a huge pearl curtain in the depths of the palace.
Because the palace has very high ceilings, the bead curtain is also surprisingly large.
Gu Jiu’s first reaction was the red cloth covering the stone wall in the underground academy.
If something is magnified many times, it will make people feel panic.
It's like there is a huge force in the dark that humans cannot control, which is dominating the world.
In fact, the impact of such a large bead curtain on people is no different from that of a sow-sized mouse or a pillar-sized python.
It’s just that the bead curtain won’t bite people, but those things will.
However, having learned from his previous experience, Gu Jiu would rather see rats that are five or six times bigger than sows, or pythons as big as these pillars, than see such a large bead curtain.
Because who knows what is hidden behind the bead curtain.
Gu Jiu thought for a while, and finally pulled open two more rows of tiles on the roof, and then jumped directly down.
At the moment before landing, the sword bracelet in his hand suddenly flew out and supported his feet, ensuring that he landed silently.
In fact, Gu Jiu was afraid of falling. If he jumped from such a high place without any support, what if he broke his leg?
Where to see an orthopedist?
After all, he had never practiced the light-weight skills he usually used in this way.
Standing in this empty and creepy hall, Gu Jiu looked back.
Outside the palace, there were densely packed rows of tall giants lying on the ground, which was quite terrifying.
