Zhuo Mufeng was worried about Wu Yuanyuan's safety, and hurriedly flew around to check. However, just like the previous inspection, he found nothing. It seemed that no one had set foot here for a long time, and everything maintained its original appearance.
Several venomous snakes hung between the branches, fell down, clattered, and landed on the rotten wooden pillars. They climbed around them and crushed the ants that came in and out. They were spitting poisonous messages towards Zhuo Mufeng.
.
A tiger roared in the distance, shaking the wilderness. A shadow quickly flashed across the forest. Zhuo Mufeng's eyesight was amazing and he could clearly see that it was a leopard covered in circular spots.
Thinking of Meng Jiuxiao's strange behavior, which all happened after he killed two golden leopards, Zhuo Mufeng's heart moved, and he used Nine Ghost Teleportation to follow him.
The leopard ran extremely fast, but it was faster than Zhuo Mufeng and was soon caught up. The leopard was familiar with the road, and with a push of its feet, it plunged into a raised earth hole in front of it.
Zhuo Mufeng, an expert in martial arts, was bold. He first broke off a branch as thick as an arm, then activated his power and boldly followed in.
The earthen cave was two feet wide, and there were traces of manual excavation all around. It was straight and deep. Although the light inside was dark, Zhuo Mufeng still saw the humanoid corpses piled up on both sides.
What only made him horrified was that none of the corpses were complete, or the skulls were missing and rolled aside. Or the limbs were missing and were thrown around. Or the ribs and sternum were shattered, or even the lower body was separated...
…
All in all, along the way, the corpses died in various strange ways.
What's even weirder is that they should have been placed here, with their bodies leaning against the wall in different postures, but the direction they were facing was vaguely concentrated. Except for those without skulls, the remaining corpses were all
They all looked up.
Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but raise his head, but there was nothing above except the earth wall.
The earthen cave was extremely long and seemed to have no end. The deeper it went, the darker the light became. From time to time there seemed to be strange sounds. Even though Zhuo Mufeng was highly skilled in martial arts, he began to feel hairy all over his body and was a little afraid to go deeper.
But the charming face that appeared in his mind and the decisive push gave him great courage. In order to find Wu Yuanyuan as soon as possible, he could not let go of any clues.
Because of the strangeness of this place, Zhuo Mufeng did not dare to light a fire rashly, so he could only continue to go deeper with fear. The corpses on both sides continued to stretch, and finally he walked several hundred meters further.
The front suddenly opened up, and with his eyesight that was much better than ordinary people's, Zhuo Mufeng guessed that this was a huge circular space, but the exact size was not clear.
The ground was reflected in a miserable gray white color. He didn't understand it at first. He picked it up with a branch in his hand, and then he saw clearly that it was also a corpse, and there were corpses underneath the corpse. It seemed that there were several layers, and the space on the ground was full of corpses?!
What happened here?
A gust of cold air went straight up to the Tianling Cap. Zhuo Mufeng had never been to such a gloomy and terrifying place. His eyes were pale, and there seemed to be some echo with the corpses on both sides of the cave behind that were placed in strange postures and looked up high.
.
Zhuo Mufeng looked up again. This sight caught him off guard and almost scared his soul!
It turned out that at the top of this circular space, against the dark background, there was a huge pale and ferocious face. It had two horns on its head, a wide mouth, a strange expression that seemed to be crying and laughing, and two obscure eyes.
He was looking down at Zhuo Mufeng.
Officer Zhuo yelled, and subconsciously slapped his palm towards the ferocious grimace. With a bang, the ferocious grimace shattered his jaw, but his expression remained the same, and the broken bones fell to the ground with crackling sounds.
It turns out that this grimace is also made of corpses!
Wait, where did the leopard go?
Zhuo Mufeng looked around and found nothing. Thinking that this should be the end of the earth cave, he finally activated his Lihuo Zhenqi. With a flick of his right hand, the branches suddenly burned, and the firelight illuminated this place that had not been touched for a long time for the first time.
A mysterious place.
Not to mention the corpses all over the ground, the ferocious face above his head seemed to have an expression under the dim light of the fire, and his eyes flickered, as if he would come to life the next moment.
By the light of the fire, Zhuo Mufeng could see that the place was about tens of feet in size, and there seemed to be something painted on the wall. He jumped up, landed in front of the east wall, and took a tree branch to shine.
I saw an extremely ancient picture painted on the wall. The whole picture was red, but many parts had fallen off, making Zhuo Mufeng suspect that it was painted with blood.
In the picture, a group of tribal people seemed to be performing some kind of solemn sacrifice. In the middle, two tribal men held down the third man and chopped off his head with a knife made of stone.
But because it was not sharp enough, the stone knife got stuck in the middle of his neck, causing the beheaded man to look extremely hideous.
Zhuo Mufeng's heart was trembling, and he walked lightly along the wall, and soon discovered the second scene. It was also a sacrifice, but this time, the victim's heart was dug out, and the eyes were miserable. The executioner
But he laughed.
In the third scene, the victim was tied with ropes between several big trees, and four tribesmen attacked at the same time, cutting off his limbs.
In the fourth scene, the victim is cut in half.
In the fifth scene, the stone knife cuts vertically into the victim's head, as if to split him in half. The victim's face is covered with blood.
…
The more Zhuo Mufeng watched, the more horrified he became, with chills all over his body, because he suddenly discovered that the death state of the tortured person in the picture was exactly the same as the corpses placed on both sides of the cave!
He lowered his head to look at the corpses on the ground, picked them with the other end of the branch, and soon discovered that the death state of these corpses matched those of the tortured people in the picture.
Thinking of the tree houses in the outside world and the remaining bows and arrows, Zhuo Mufeng secretly guessed, could this be the place where the tribe performed some kind of sacrifice?
His eyes suddenly fell on the middle of the place, where the corpses were piled higher, but there was only one layer. Zhuo Mufeng's luck flicked through the air, and the corpses fell below, revealing a circular altar, about three feet in size.
.
On the altar, the leopard that ran in earlier was inserted into the abdomen by a vertical pointed stone pillar. Its body was lying on the ground, and its blood was gurgling into the grooves on both sides of the altar.
Zhuo Mufeng took a deep breath, and his whole scalp felt numb.
There was obviously no one here, so how could the Golden Leopard be killed and penetrated while lying on the ground?
At this moment, Zhuo Mufeng's eyes peered through the firelight and saw the weird smiles of the executioners on the opposite wall. He felt that the murals around him seemed to come alive, and the executioners were staring at him like prey.
The corpses on the ground, the grimaces above the heads, and the mysterious gazes of countless corpses on both sides of the passage were like a dense evil net covering Zhuo Mufeng, making his heart tighten and making him feel the urge to run away.
Finally, he had gone through all kinds of life and death, and his willpower was as hard as steel, and he could barely stand still, struggling to suppress the fear in his heart.
It was also at this moment that Zhuo Mufeng glanced at the altar in front of him and discovered several exotic grasses as black as ink growing next to the leopard's body.
The exotic grass is smaller than ordinary grass, but it is so black that it seems to absorb everything around it. Strangely enough, when Zhuo Mufeng concentrated on looking at it, many strange pictures flashed through his mind, and he almost
Make him sink.
But soon, he quickly woke up again. At this moment, Zhuo Mufeng felt like he was enlightened, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
Looking at the black exotic grass, and then at the crucified leopard, he floated down on the altar and found that as the distance got closer, his mind became dizzy for a moment, but that was all.
Zhuo Mufeng squatted down, uprooted several black exotic plants, and used firelight to illuminate other corners of the altar. No abnormalities were found. He no longer wanted to stay in this ghost place, and quickly rushed towards the passage with the Nine Ghost Movement.
Not long after, Zhuo Mufeng saw the light of day again.
He followed the path he took in his memory, back to the big tree interrupted by Wu Yuanyuan, and finally came to the place where Meng Jiuxiao shot two leopards, and checked the area several times.
Sure enough, he found the same black exotic grass between a stone crevice. This time he paid close attention and also found some animal bones.
"It seems that it is because of this kind of grass. The eldest lady and I are immune to all poisons, so we are not affected."
There are so many unknown things in the world. Zhuo Mufeng thought hard, but he had never heard of anyone saying that this kind of grass existed. It was estimated that even Meng Jiuxiao didn't know about it.
Zhuo Mufeng returned to the tribal ruins and placed several black exotic herbs on the ground.
Soon after, nearby animals were attacked, and several venomous snakes twisted into a ball and bit each other. Several leopards appeared and rushed towards each other crazily, and the roars of tigers further away became more and more fierce.
However, there was also a little white rabbit who was not affected. It stayed contentedly next to the root of a tree, swaying its tail. Zhuo Mufeng quietly approached and found that not far from it, there was a long withered black flower.
.
Zhuo Mufeng threw the two leopards that were fighting over, and something strange happened. They immediately stopped agitating and even looked at their injuries strangely.
A leopard had a vicious attack and stretched out its claws towards the frightened little white rabbit, but was kicked away by Zhuo Mufeng. Once it was out of the influence of the black flowers, it became more animalistic again.
Zhuo Mufeng put a few black exotic plants into his bag, picked off the withered black flowers, then carried the little white rabbit and swept it far away, and then released it.
He has found a way to restrain the black exotic grass, but he still cannot explain the mystery of the disappearance of the former tribesmen, Wu Yuanyuan and Meng Jiuxiao.
The jungle is so big, where can he go to find it?
But Zhuo Mufeng was destined not to give up. He wandered around in the jungle. In the next few days, he searched almost all the nearby mountains, but still found nothing.
He discovered several tribes and asked the people inside about the situation. But one time, when he returned to a certain tribe, he was shocked to find that the place was deserted, with only ruins and ruins, and no one had lived there for many years.
"Hallucination? No, I have the power of the three gates in my mind, and I have never felt anything unusual. It's not like I was poisoned. What on earth is going on?"
Zhuo Mufeng felt cold from head to toe, and his whole body was shrouded in an indescribable sense of terror. He planned to leave this place first, and then bring a large number of people from the Sanjiang Alliance to search.
He remembered that Meng Jiuxiao had said that there was a town a hundred miles away to the west. After identifying the direction, he rushed west. With his skill, the distance of a hundred miles could only take two and a quarter hours.
However, after driving for an hour, we were still surrounded by wilderness. Even though we were five feet high in the sky, there was still no trace of human beings.
Zhuo Mufeng's heart sank as he realized that there was something strange in this mountain range. But at this time, he could no longer tell the way out. He was like an insect trapped in a spider's web, and could only keep moving forward.
At the same time, a hundred miles away from him, a group of three people, one man and two women, also went deep into the forest.
The man is wearing a dark red robe, a golden crown on his head, and his face is white and beardless. He looks quite handsome. The woman on the left is wearing a green shirt and has a slim figure. She is a rare beauty.
The woman on the right is even more beautiful and beautiful.
The exposed skin of her body is frosty and snow-like, with a shiny black hair hanging down to her waist, her eyes as sharp as water, a white ribbon tied behind her head, and she is dressed in white clothes and white shoes, not stained by dust, it is really clear between black and white
, like a peerless fairy who breaks into the forest and refuses to eat fireworks.
If Zhuo Mufeng were here, he would definitely recognize that this woman is the sister in white who once saved him.
