The water was so cold that I climbed ashore and found two dead snakes hanging from my body, both of which had broken skulls and had their brains sucked off and died.

As soon as I entered the cave, the Golden Silkworm Gu didn't say a word and shrank into my body.

The water ripples on the surface of this pool float, spreading out from the inside out. Standing in the darkness and looking at the light at the mouth of the cave, I saw the centipedes and poisonous snakes piled up on the shore of the pool, as if they had seen ghosts, and fled towards the way back.

Through the induction of the Golden Silkworm Gu, I could hear a low-frequency vibration in the air, and it was this sound that controlled these poisonous insects, which were already natural enemies of each other, to merge and hunt us down. Is it the dwarf mules, or the Gollum cavemen? In fact, I still remember that when I was dealing with Nanyang Descending Master Ba Song on the Jiangcheng Expressway, the Golden Silkworm Gu once controlled his centipede descending, and I believe that if we give enough time to the fat worms, we will definitely be able to turn enemies into friends.

It's just that what is hidden in this cave that can make the poisonous insects, as well as my Golden Silkworm Gu, so frightened?

I was heavily dressed, and when I was soaked in water, my whole body was a little heavier, and by the faint light, I took off my leather boots, and when I shook them, they were full of water. It was undoubtedly uncomfortable to wear such shoes, but I gritted my teeth and put them back on and looked inside.

It's dark, and I can't see anything clearly.

Yang Cao picked up the flashlight in his hand and shone it inside, the cave was full of twists and turns, lifeless, but the water next to him was gurgling, somewhat angry. Hu Wenfei was questioning why Jia Wei ran out alone, and the woman said nonchalantly: "There is a way out of here." "Yang Cao asked strangely, how did you know the Dao?

Jia Wei replied: Intuition.

Yang Cao and Hu Wenfei were speechless, twisting the wet clothes on their bodies, stomping their feet, shivering with cold. I looked around, and suddenly my heart moved, and I asked Jia Wei, where is your anteater Xiao Hei?

Jia Wei was stunned for a moment, and said that he didn't know what to do, maybe he lost it, right?

The three of us looked at each other, and we all saw a chill in each other's eyes.

Through the past few days of getting along, even I, an outsider, can see how deep Jia Wei's feelings are for Xiao Hei, pets, children or lovers? I don't know what to do, anyway, Xiao Hei is Jia Wei's dearest and dearest life, but at this moment, it comes out of this woman's mouth, it is so understated, like a very random object.

In this world, many things in the world are easy to pretend, only feelings can't be faked.

The atmosphere instantly became weird, and we all looked at the woman in front of us through the cold light. The muscles on Yang Cao and Hu Wenfei's backs were tense, their faces were solemn, and Yang Cao confirmed again: "Sister Jia, why did you come to this cave?" ”

Jia Wei casually moved a few steps to the side, and I moved to the front of her, and found that it was a completely different face: cold, arrogant, blind, dull as zombie muscles twitching, with an expression that did not look like a human being.

She suddenly turned around, pushed Hu Wenfei away who was blocking her way, and ran towards the depths of the cave.

The moment she turned around, I felt a chill like cold mineral water emanating from her body, and Yang Cao and Hu Wenfei drank loudly while chasing inside. I tried to reach out to stop it, but I didn't, and the two of them quickly chased after the bend in front of me, and were about to disappear from my sight.

At that moment, I hesitated.

As a person with accurate judgment, the wisest choice is undoubtedly to cross this deep pool, and then return to the Miao Village gathering point with the natural coercion of the Golden Silkworm Gu against poisonous insects. Then, I will face the accusations of all and live as a coward, a coward who has abandoned his fellow men—this is only a moral shackle, and the deeper question is: without the help of the three strongmen of the Religious Bureau, will we be able to find our own way out of this dangerous canyon?

Although I don't want to think about it, I have to admit that I can't do without them, and they can't do without me.

We are interdependent.

For now, all I could do was curse and vent my anger as I chased them to their heels and into the depths of the cave. The reason why this place is called "cave" is because the opening here is quite wide, and there is no ordinary cave narrow and stuffy, after walking dozens of steps, the waterway disappears into the darkness next to it, and the whole space suddenly opens up.

The cheerfulness here is not only spatial, but also has a faint green light, which comes from both sides of the rock wall.

The light was emitted by some bryophytes, and it was very low, but it was enough for me to get a rough idea of what was inside.

I ran late, and it took a lot of effort to catch up with Yang Cao and Hu Wenfei, but I heard heavy footsteps in front of the cave. There were several forks in the road, and the further I went, the more dreary the atmosphere became, and I felt a strong pressure coming at me. Finally, I saw the figures of the two people in front of me.

I walked forward quickly, and saw the two of them stop and look ahead as if they were demented.

We came to a stadium-like space that could accommodate two football fields.

The reason why there is such a figurative sense of space is that in the center of this space and in the eight directions, there are quietly burning flames. The flame was as constant as an electric lamp, pointing straight upward, and basically did not beat, reflecting the huge space as if it were dusk at night.

It's dim, but it's bright.

We stand on the edge of a high platform, under the feet are artificially chiseled steps, the whole space has obvious traces of artificial carving, circular high steps, we are here and the flat ground below the drop of more than two zhang high, more than ten steps, all of which are made of stone. On the flat ground in the center is a borehole, and then there are eight stone tripods around, which are divided into the eight trigrams of "Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, Kan" and are placed, and the style is simple and heavy; At the ears of each stone tripod, there is a bronze chain with the thickness of a baby's arm from above, which is connected to the borehole.

The bronze chains were tightened and straightened, as if wrestling with the borehole, and from time to time the sound of Titicaca wafted through the space.

The distance between the eight stone tripods is six or seven meters away.

On the periphery of this stone tripod is a silver ring river, about half a meter wide or narrower, like a silver line, which surrounds everything inside, and there are eight quaint stone bridges on it, with a three-meter-long arched span, connecting the inside and outside. And on the periphery of it all, behind the flatland, are lined with stone figurines, which are both human and animal - boars, bantams, bison, monkeys...... And so on and so forth. Looking at it, east and west, north and south, Lin Lin finally came down, there are more than two or three hundred complete statues, just like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, the troops are arranged, the long Ge is like a forest, and the momentum is magnificent.

Jia Wei had already rushed down the steps as if he was going back to his backyard, running towards the darkness opposite.

Hu Wenfei wanted to chase, but was stopped by Yang Cao, took out the instrument in his arms and showed him, saying that there seemed to be a big array below, and when he stepped in, the sky fell apart, and it was difficult to have a chance to escape.

Hu Wenfei pointed to Jia Wei, who was about to approach Shi Ding, and said why was she okay?

Yang Cao took out the gun on his waist and pointed it at the dead woman who deliberately brought us in, hesitating whether to shoot: "She...... Maybe it's not Jia Wei anymore. At this time, she should be another person, right? "I couldn't help but hit him, and said aren't you sure she's not possessed? Yang Cao smiled bitterly and said One foot taller, one foot taller, who could have expected this kind of thing, right?

Looking at the majestic space below, I said, what should we do? Do you want to go back?

Hu Wenfei hesitated a little, pointed to our bottom, and said that the reason why the entire canyon crack outside has been hidden for thousands of years and no one knows about it is because there is a formation to cover it, even if your bird wakes up, it may not be able to escape from this cage; You look here, it's like the eye of the great array, if you can find a way to crack it here...... Lu Zuo, our hope of getting out of the valley is here, maybe what Jia Wei said is not false.

I snorted coldly and said don't think about getting out of the valley yet, whether you can survive or not is still an unknown.

As she spoke, Jia Wei had already walked to the edge of the center of the space, and when she was just about to step on the bridge from the northeast, she suddenly flashed ripples, her body stiffened, and she couldn't move, and the corresponding "Kun" word Shiding began to rumble and turn. At the same time, a shrill brass bell rang out from the darkness, and then the entire space echoed with this strange siren.

Countless footsteps poured out of the black holes in all directions. It wasn't long before a bunch of cavemen appeared on the top of the stairs like the monster I shot and killed that day.

The nearest group, six or seven of them, all armed with metal weapons in their hands, or long swords or short swords, rushed towards us.

Looking at this situation, it is obvious that he is not here to invite us to dinner.

These cavemen had big heads and slender bodies, but they were quite agile and knew some fighting skills, and they rushed to the front three and rushed towards me, startling me. I was not going to use the pistol with only one bullet left, so I drew my knife, held it behind my back, and lowered my body, forcing myself to focus on the enemy in front of me.

The first caveman with flowing hair stabbed him with a sword, and I blocked it with my sword, and with a twist of my hands, I grabbed its hand and threw it down the steps, and the man flew away.

It doesn't seem to be as powerful as it seems.

The three of us resisted for a while, fought and retreated, and suddenly, a loud roar like thunder came from the center, and Jia Wei, who had been stiff and motionless, was shouting loudly in a rough and hoarse voice. She spoke in ancient Miao language, and I didn't really hear it, but Jia Wei shouted three times in a row, one more grandiose than the other, and the aftermath echoed throughout the space.

Then, something unexpected happened:

The cavemen who were desperately attacking us actually all fell to their knees, trembling in the direction of Jia Wei, kneeling down.
