C69

In the dark cave, we stood at the foot of the stone wall and looked at the scene in front of us with our mouths agape. A wave of cold air rushed from the soles of my feet to my head.

It was an extremely wide cave, about the size of a basketball court. The floor was covered with stone slabs and was surrounded by walls. There was a huge stone pillar standing in every corner to prevent the entire cave from collapsing!

The stone pillar was as thick as two people. There were many carvings of human figures on it, and most of them were monsters that could push through mountains and rocks. Their ferocious faces were very conspicuous.

In the center of the cave, there was a square altar. On the altar, there was a small pond that was shining with green light. It was extremely demonic and was very different from the temples we saw outside.

Unfortunately, a corner of the pool around the four-sided altar had been broken, and it should have been exploded using gunpowder. The stone bricks were scattered all over the place, and it was unknown whether it was done by the Japanese or by the Drilling Team Two later.

However, what caused us to be extremely shocked, and we didn't even dare to move, was that the ground in front of us was actually densely packed with round amber spheres, and the inside was filled with ferocious looking monsters.

Because of the green light emitted by these amber-like spheres, they looked so demonic that one would not dare to touch them.

We were all completely stunned. We didn't expect this to be the monster's base of operations. At most, there were a few hundred round spheres.

The monk scanned the surroundings with the flashlight and said with a pale face, "There is a sealed space inside. There is no way out. We have to leave quickly!"

Hai Yang frowned. "Where do we go? It's already f * cking sealed. Where's the way out? "

I frowned as well. I thought that I would be able to find a way out of the stone chamber once I found the cave, but I didn't expect that I would be trapped in another sealed space and become even more dangerous.

If there were any other way out of this place, then those monsters wouldn't be able to pass through the mountains and force their way through the rocks to make a hole. Unfortunately, we have already blocked off the entrance with stone slabs, so even if we move the stone slabs away, we won't be able to face the monsters inside. And even if we can pass through the stone slabs and make it back, we are still trapped on the stone steps.

But that shouldn't be the case!

My mind was filled with question marks. The cave in front of me was constructed by humans, it's impossible that there was no exit. Could it be that when the workers finished building the cave, they sealed the exit as well?

I comforted the monks and the sea, telling them to search carefully first. There should be other exits.

Zhu Yingqiong, on the other hand, made us quieter in terms of movement and voice. Although the monsters in front of us seemed to be wrapped in a round ball and didn't do anything excessive, who knows if they are dead or not. If they weren't dead, then once we were surrounded by these monsters, we wouldn't have any strength to resist them!

Everyone understood the seriousness of the situation, so they didn't dare to speak out loud. They circled around the stone pillar and started searching according to the place where they could land.

This kind of silent search and speed is extremely slow, so after a long time, the four of us finally managed to find an inch at a time. Moreover, it is only the periphery of the entire stone cave, so we don't know how long it would take to continue.

It was only when we had reached the altar in the middle of the cave that I suddenly realized something was wrong. Although the altar in front of me looked squarish, it didn't look like a small pond at all. Because I was closer, I realized that the middle of the altar was caved in.

Furthermore, the interior of the stone pot was filled with densely-packed bones, like a burial pit for martyrs. Just looking at it, would cause one's scalp to go numb.

"Don't move first. Take a look at what's hanging on it."

Zhu Yingqiong suddenly said this and then moved the flashlight over her head. We all raised our heads and looked in the direction where the light was shining, only to see that right above the stone pot, there was actually a large square lid with several chains as thick as thighs. Crap, it really is a stone pot, what's hanging on top of it is the lid of a pot!

I was a little speechless, what was People of White Kingdom trying to do?

How could he create such a huge stone pot?

Could it be that he was like some ancient scholars, a large stone pot used to concoct pills?

However, all of them were human bones. How could they be used to concoct pills?

Human body? Bone? F * ck, could this be used to refine humans?

Just as I was lost in thought, Zhu Yingqiong suddenly took out the folded Engineer Shovel, and scraped on the inside of the stone pot. She then placed the Scraper in front of her nose and took a whiff, immediately frowning.

"What's wrong?" the sea asked.

Zhu Yingqiong shook her head: "I don't know, it seems to be oil!"

"Oil?"

We were all stunned. We all squeezed in front of Zhu Yingqiong and used our fingers to scrape the material that was scraped out from the stone pot. It was a thick liquid.

Hai Yang said dejectedly, "Oh my, this can't really be a pot for refining oil, right?"

The monk who was traveling around Fourth Uncle had a lot of experience. At this moment, he also frowned: "You are right, this is oil, and it is corpse oil!"

"Body oil? "Holy sh * t!"

Hai Yang cried out in shock, wiped the translucent liquid off her finger, and said with widened eyes: "People of White Kingdom is crazy, why are you refining the corpse oil?"

"Shh, lower your voice!"

Zhu Yingqiong stared at Hai Yang, and then looked around and said: "It's not Body Refining Oils, they want to live forever!"

"Longevity?"

We looked at each other in shock. We didn't know why Zhu Yingqiong would suddenly say that word, but we could only stare at her.

She folded the military shovel into her backpack and said, "This place is a sealed cave, but I can tell that it was constructed by humans. Why did the People of White Kingdom build such a sealed space? I couldn't figure it out before, but when I saw these monsters, I understood that there should be these monsters everywhere under the Wild Mountain. Furthermore, the People of White Kingdom admires them greatly! "

Hai Yang shook her head, "That doesn't make sense. If People of White Kingdom worshipped these monsters, why would he build a sealed cave to trap them? And what does it have to do with longevity? "

Zhu Yingqiong said: "Don't forget, these monsters are part of the murals in the temples we saw outside. The altars of the Underground City are also dedicated to these monsters, I think the People of White Kingdom considers these monsters to be mountain gods."

I recalled the sculptures on the wall and couldn't help but nod my head. Zhu Yingqiong was probably right, so I asked: "Then what are these things?"

Zhu Yingqiong said: Previously when I saw the frescoes, I had guessed it in my heart, but because it's a fresco, I did not think too much about it. Now that I see the real thing, it makes me even more certain that this monster should be the Jia Huai mentioned in the Classic of the Mountains and Seas. Its shape is similar to a human, its cry is like a chicken's, crying like a baby's, and its bloodlust is like a pangolin's.

We were stunned when we heard it, there was no such thing as a Jia Huai in our minds, we thought to ourselves, this is too f * cking mystical, does it mean that people who drink the blood of Jia Huai won't die?

But how did so many Jia Huai in front of him become like this?

Could it be that when the People of White Kingdom revived, he drank the blood of the Jia Huai?

Zhu Yingqiong continued to speak: "Look carefully, what are these things that are wrapping around Jia Huai?"

The monk said, "It's corpse oil. These monsters are all covered in corpse oil!"

Zhu Yingqiong nodded, and then moved the flashlight to the side of the stone pot: "Look, there are still many grooves here, what are they used for?"

I walked up and squinted, and sure enough, there were many grooves at the edge of the stone pot, extending all the way to the place where the stone pot was caved in, like a canal. After staring blankly for a while, I sucked in a cold air, "These are blood grooves!"

Hai Yang said in a daze, "What the hell, what do you want to say next?" Why is there another issue? "

I took a deep breath to cover the shock in my heart and said slowly, "Zhu Yingqiong is right, the People of White Kingdom did it for the sake of longevity. They probably found the Jia Huai underground and knew that it was bloodthirsty, so they built it here.

Hai Yang asked, "So what if I'm attracted to it?"

I pointed to the Jia Huai that was wrapped in a sphere and said, "When Jia Huai rolls into the stone pot, they become so immobile. Don't you see that there are so many skeletons inside the stone pot? To extract the corpse oil, as long as the Jia Huai goes in, it will be wrapped in the corpse oil. Then, the People of White Kingdom will fish out the Jia Huai and wait for the corpse oil to dry, and it will become a ball like the one in front of us, who would have thought that the People of White Kingdom would catch so many Jia Huai! "

Hai Yang immediately said excitedly: "Then what the f * ck are we waiting for? Let's pry open the shell and drink the blood of the Jia Huai. Although I don't care if I live for a lifetime, it's still okay to live for a hundred years or a hundred years."

I hastily stopped him and said: "God damn, can you use your brain? If the Jia Huai could really live forever, how would the People of White Kingdom be destroyed? Furthermore, some kind of accident happened that caused the People of White Kingdom to be unable to stop it, which was why Chen Jun lobbied for Loong Liaan to do it, and why the People of White Kingdom moved to the underground. I am now extremely suspicious that this stone pot, including the entire cave, was done by Chen Jun! "

Zhu Yingqiong said: "Not only is it this cave, even the circulating stone steps are probably used to guard against Jia Huai, but I never thought that we would be the ones who get infected!"

The monk suddenly asked: "Then according to your idea, the Anti-wall that we saw before was also to defend against these monsters? Can these monsters break through the city walls? "

I shook my head. It was obviously impossible, although Jia Huai could pass through mountains and rocks, and were as bloodthirsty as life, they could only live under layers of rock, so it was impossible for them to think about attacking People of White Kingdom. The reason why they built the circular staircase was to prevent Jia Huai from being discovered by others when they rushed out of the ground, but the role of Anti-wall was definitely not to defend Jia Huai.

But what was it that could actually cause the People of White Kingdom to build defensive walls?

Could this be related to the Nether Sea that Charles mentioned?

I shook my head and looked towards Zhu Yingqiong as I asked, "You are familiar with the Mountain Sea Scripture, do the scriptures mention anything else besides longevity regarding the Jia Huai?"

Zhu Yingqiong's face suddenly turned pale white. After pausing for a moment, she said, "There is, but it can't be true!"

Hai Yang impatiently asked, "What is it? This motherf * cking Jia Huai has already appeared. What's not real? "

Zhu Yingqiong raised her head and stared at us: "It's only because I saw the Jia Huai that I would rather believe that's not true, because in the early stages of People of White Kingdom, the Jia Huai was treated as a mountain god and was extremely respected. It was only in the later stages that I started to have a bad impression of the Jia Huai, all of this is related to the symbiosis of the Jia Huai!"

"Symbiosis?"

I blinked. "What symbiosis?"

Zhu Yingqiong took a deep breath: "Symbiosis means that whenever a Jia Huai appears, there will be another type of living being, and once that kind of living being exists, there will be many even stranger living things around it. I am truly worried that the People of White Kingdom's Anti-wall is built to defend itself!"

Hai Yang and I became anxious and hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Zhu Yingqiong took a deep breath, then spat out two words: "Candle Dragon!"
