Wolf corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed into the tunnels along the terrain.
Fatty Ming and his men were collecting wolf corpses, while Zuo Zhan and Gu Yuan were squatting at the entrance of the tunnel.
Gu Yuan observed for a while, pointed in a direction and said.
"After Fatty Ming cleans up, let's go forward in this direction!"
…
In the underground passage.
Deng Chong recruited three new teammates, Li Mi, Zhou Yuanshan and Kang Maochuan, plus Li Yutian, who was previously in the team, and reorganized his team.
The three of them are the captains of their own teams. After all the team members died, they became the polished commanders.
The three of them are not weak in combat power, and they are all elite disciples. They happened to form a temporary team with Deng Chong.
At present, these four people are walking forward together with Deng Chong, and the others are following behind with homemade torches.
Ordinarily, everyone is already at this level and fully capable of night vision.
Even in a dark place, you can still get a rough idea.
But the passage to the underground altar, for some reason, makes it difficult for everyone to see the road ahead clearly.
As a last resort, everyone had to make some torches for lighting.
But even with torches, visibility was extremely low.
As we walked, the road ahead became wider and wider, and the bluestone road was actually replaced by a dirt road.
Looking further ahead, the dirt road ahead continued to stretch. Under the light of the torch, the road ahead seemed to lead to a square.
On the square, there are many things that look like earthbags.
This means that at the end of this road, there is a large earth hole!
Deng Chong stopped, hesitating whether to continue moving forward.
Li Mi asked in a low voice: "Deng Chong, did we go the wrong way?"
Li Mi is also well-known on the elite list, and he is thoughtful and eloquent.
Since he joined Deng Chong's team, because of his high emotional intelligence and high IQ.
At present, he has replaced Li Yutian in Deng Chong's heart and has become the second-in-command in this team.
There were too many forks along the way, and sometimes Deng Chong would ask Li Mi for his opinion.
Right now, there is a dirt road ahead, which is not a good sign.
At the very least, it means that Deng Chong took the wrong road, but every time Deng Chong passed a fork in the road, he chose the intersection according to the terrain.
Ordinarily, Deng Chong's choice would not be wrong. Could it be that the path of this underground altar can go further and further?
Deng Chong looked at the dirt road in front of him and felt that the smell in this tunnel was too fishy.
But he didn't think much about it. After all, this place was an underground place with no sunlight all year round, so some strange smells were normal.
Li Mi took a step forward, came close to Deng Chong's ear, and lowered his voice again and said:
"How about we go back?
Anyway, there are signs along the way so we won’t get lost.”
As long as Deng Chong nodded, Li Mi would lead everyone back without Deng Chong saying anything.
Li Mi was different from Li Yutian. No matter when he discussed anything with Deng Chong, he always lowered his voice and asked Deng Chong what to do in a voice that could only be heard by two people.
Li Yutian has a carefree temperament. Many times he would ask questions loudly in front of everyone, and it would be difficult for Deng Chong to answer.
In this comparison, Deng Chong found Li Mi more pleasing to the eye, and thought that he would confirm the team after he returned.
Deng Chong nodded, agreeing with Li Mi's suggestion, but to be honest, Deng Chong actually wanted to take a look at the earthen square in front.
At this moment, Li Yutian, who was standing next to Deng Chong, suddenly squatted down, reached out and grabbed a handful of soil and said, "It doesn't seem right. Why is the soil here so loose?
Could it be that something is buried underground?"
As soon as he said this, the disciples behind him were very excited. Immediately, several more disciples came forward and each grabbed a handful of soil and studied it.
Everyone agreed that the soil had definitely been plowed. As for why it had been plowed, everyone speculated that someone had buried something in it.
This guess is in line with everyone's psychology and has been recognized by most disciples.
They all suggested digging up the soil to see what treasures were hidden underground.
Everyone was in high spirits, but Deng Chong didn't say anything, even if he acquiesced.
Of course you can't bring digging tools like shovels with you when you come to the secret realm, but you do have all kinds of weapons in your backpacks.
They each found a long sword suitable for digging, and began the work of digging the earth.
It's not like digging in one place. After all, there are dozens of people, and everyone spreads out to dig everywhere.
Afraid of damaging the treasure, these people did not choose spells.
Only a few teenagers who were good at earth spells used earth spells, and in the blink of an eye, several large deep pits appeared on the ground.
But what surprised everyone was that the soil under the pit was still very loose.
Deng Chong did not dig the ground. He and Li Mi stood among these people, but they always felt that something was not right.
As everyone continued to dig, the fishy smell he initially smelled became more serious.
His eyelids were twitching, and he had some doubts that what was buried underground was not some heavenly or earthly treasure, but a ferocious earth beast.
"Li Mi, did you smell any strange smell?"
Li Mi nodded, "I smelled it before I entered the area. After careful identification, it didn't smell like a large ferocious beast."
"And there is no smell of blood around here. I didn't say anything. Why, did you smell it too?"
Deng Chong frowned and said, "It's not safe here!"
Then, Deng Chongtai said in a loud voice: "Stop digging. Everyone exits this area. Let's go back!"
"ah?
Senior Brother Deng, are you leaving now?
Aren’t you going to dig around and take a look?”
The disciples around him were obviously reluctant, but Deng Chong insisted on leaving. Everyone straightened up and stopped digging.
But at this moment, everyone heard a rustling sound, as if there were reptiles walking on the ground.
Soon someone said in surprise: "Is there a ferocious beast here?"
"Well done, you won't gain anything if you kill it!"
"Maybe a big guy will come! We won't be able to defeat him, right?"
Immediately, a disciple raised a torch, looked up, checked visually and said:
“Although it’s a little more open here, it’s only about three meters high at the top, so what big thing can there be?
Big guys can’t move around here!”
"That's right. If it doesn't work, let's go back to the tunnel. It's only about two meters high there. Even if a big thing comes out of the soil, it won't be able to get in!"
"What are so many of us afraid of?
One person and one move killed him!"
"That's right, if it doesn't work, just use the magic talisman!"
Deng Chong originally wanted to retreat with everyone, but he hesitated after hearing these people's words.
It would be disgraceful to retreat without a fight.
These people followed him in such a large circle in the tunnel. If they returned and found nothing in the end, it would not be good for their reputation if word spread.
"ah!"
At this moment, a disciple standing outside suddenly screamed.
