Chapter 272

The so-called cave is just below the hill, between the roots of Yuliang wood. The son of the forest walked in front with his fingers raised, and a group of people followed. At the request of Xiaohua, Zhao Mai holds the flowerpot and takes her with him.

The road of the cave is curved and low, and ADO has to squat. If he carries bran on his back, he will wear him on the top of the cave. So the paralyzed boy is now on Zhao Mai's back. He widened his eyes and tried to look around through the shaking light and shadow. It is a place full of roots, moss and cobweb, and a lingering smell of earth in the air. Moist and cold combined to form a cold, continuous infiltration from the surface of the skin down, how are not like what a serious place.

The son of the forest walked in the front, the bark on his body and the leaves between his hair were rubbing and rustling. The underground passage was full of twists and turns, and soon he was out of sight. Zhao Mai has been carrying bran on his back, walking slowly behind the elder brother and sister. As long as bran is around, you can see the three eyed crow. He was always on the alert for fear that as soon as they separated, the crow would disappear.

Following the fire for a while, the cave bifurcated. The Branch Road on the left is as black as asphalt, and the fire lights up on the right, so even ah duo knows which way to go. Zhao Mai used his psychic powers as his eyes and went deep into the dark side of the road. The deeper it went, the colder it was, and soon there was a lot of ice. There are many black shadows in the ice. At a closer look, they are all frozen people.

I don't know how long they have been in the ice. Their clothes don't look like the northern residents. Where the eyes of the psionic eye could reach, they were all frozen people. The distance is too far. Zhao Mai takes back his eyes and continues to follow the torch.

Light and shadow flow, it seems that the wall is also moving. In their eyes, there are many creatures. Earthworms and centipedes wriggle from the cave walls and above their heads. They even see giant white snakes crawling in and out of the ground. Some insects that eat rotten things and corpses swarmed up and spread all over the people's feet. The insect is soft and pale, sticky and wet, with three sharp rings of small teeth.

The teenagers were frightened. Meila clenched her brother's hand. Ah duo also saw this scene. "Ah duo." He sobbed, squatting forward. Zhao Mai waves his hand, and a breeze blows by, dispelling the illusion in front of him. The so-called white snake is just a white tree root, and the insects on its feet are just wet moss and small mushrooms.

"Bran, you can learn anything. Don't learn the taste of the three eyed crow." Zhao Mai curled his mouth, adjusted the posture of his shoulders, and said, "it's clear that he uses the natural force, but it's like a necromancer. How can this attract good disciples?"

"What is a necromancer?" Bran is always curious.

"An evil caster who manipulates corpses, takes lives and plays with souls." Zhao Mai replied.

They continued to go deep underground, through one fork road after another, through one cave after another. There is a very open cave, which is enough to support 300 people. But now there are only countless stone teeth on the top of the head and a large number of stalagmites on the ground. The dribbling indoor raindrops make annoying music, and the son of the forest holding the fire is constantly urging in front.

After more caves and more forks, we have been walking in the labyrinth underground passage for a long time. Ah duo's stomach made a gurgling sound. "Ah Duo", he scratched his head, and then took out the mutton ham from the cloth bag in front of his chest. "Ah Duo?" He took the ham to ask the people, broke a piece for everyone, and then happily ate his own share.

The sound of people chewing reverberated in the cave, and sometimes even reverberated. Ah duo gave a belch, and then "duoduoduo..." was everywhere The sound of the sound. Teenagers and girls laugh, laughter also began to reverberate, dispelling the cold atmosphere of the cave. The son of the forest looked back, blinked his long and thin eyes, and made a smile just like them.

"How far is it?" Zhao Mai asked, "how deep are we underground?"

"It's coming soon. Just walk through the cave of bones." Said the son of the forest. Then he turned away, held the light of the fire and went on in silence, not answering their questions. Everyone is imagining what the cave looks like. Zhao Mai frightens them that it's a terrible place with skulls hanging everywhere and falling into a corpse heap when they step on it. "In the eyes of the skull, there is a yellow fluorescence, just like the light of fireflies, but it is more strange and colder. There are corpses everywhere, old, decadent and unable to bear. How can you crush bones, and then white corpse gas is squeezed out, floating like a hand, scratching your legs and ankles, leaving black scratches on them. The cold breath blew gently on the hair behind my ears, and a voice sounded: "I'm so wronged to die..."

They were frightened, but finally found that the so-called skeletal cave was not as terrible as Zhao Mai described. Although there are fragile bones at the foot, there is only a thin layer. No white cloud claws, no whispers in the ear. There are only bones of birds and animals scattered on the road. There are also other bones. The bigger one may come from giants, and the smaller one may be the son of the forest. On the walls of the caves on both sides, there are many stone niches dug out, with skulls of all kinds of creatures. Almost all the northern creatures appear here. In the summer, I found the skull of an ice wolf, ran to it and sniffed it, then sneezed.It didn't reach the atmosphere that Zhao Mai played up, which made the party a little disappointed. They went a steep way to the final hall. Through the curved arch bridge, they crossed the dark underground river to a platform. The son of the forest raised his hand. The fire was brighter and filled all the surrounding space. Along the direction of his fingers, everyone looked intently.

A pale, ebony decorated King appeared in front of them, his expression like a dream, the fishbeam woven throne around his dry limbs, like a mother embracing a child.

Although there is a throne, but there is no crown, only a Black Dragon Crystal paste in the middle of his forehead, like a third eye. His body is thin and frail, and his clothes are ragged. From a distance, he looks like a dead Buddha. But his chest is still undulating, breathing can also blow the slender beard of his mouth, we believe that he is not a ghost. Countless tree roots wrapped around his body and supported him. Many tree roots even penetrated through his body, but the wound and the tree roots had grown together, and they could not distinguish each other. It was not a wound.

The man on the throne has fair skin and a blood red birthmark from the neck to the cheek, which is the only color difference on him. White hair, white eyebrows and white whiskers are as delicate and slender as cobwebs, floating in the wind, separated from each other and not entangled. He and the tree root throne behind him are not separated from each other. It is possible that his bones have been replaced by tree roots, and maybe there are internal organs. Zhao Mai saw the dark red leaves growing from his skull, and countless gray mushrooms occupied the bare skin of his arms and thighs. It seems that he hasn't been active for a long time, because when he moves a little, a lot of dust and spores of mushrooms and mosses will fall.

He opened his eyes, but there was only one blood red eye without white eyes, and the other eye was pierced in by a white root and pierced out of his neck. He used this red eye to aim for a long time, and finally found a group of people.

"Are you the three eyed crow?" Bran asked.

"Wu Crow The pale King's voice was dry, his lips ripping from the mushrooms and moving slowly. He seems to have forgotten how to compose words, so it took him a long time to say: "yes, I used to be. Black clothes and black blood, I'm a three eyed crow
