The two of them came to the cave again. Wang Long took out the orb for illumination and slowly walked towards the wide stone chamber at the end.
Wang Long suddenly realized that he took the orb from the sarcophagus, destroyed the bones of the ancestors of the snake demon clan, and even messed up the spiritual positions. These were definitely not things done by people from the snake clan.
And these may be the key. Only the Snake Clan people will place the ancestors' spiritual tablets neatly, close the lid of the sarcophagus, and pack everything properly even when they finally retreat.
When he told Jiang Xue this, the latter immediately woke up and took it seriously.
The two of them then stopped in the stone chamber where the sarcophagus was located. They planned to clean up everything and then go to the innermost stone chamber to see what changes there would be.
Jiangxue went to sort out the spiritual tablets, while Wang Long was preparing to sort out the sarcophagus and re-cover the coffin lid.
However, as soon as he looked at the sarcophagus, his face suddenly moved and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Jiangxue was so frightened by his shout that her hands trembled, and the spiritual tablet of the third-generation Snake Clan leader fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Come and see..." Wang Long pointed at the inside of the sarcophagus and said.
Jiangxue stood up and looked towards the sarcophagus. After forgetting, she couldn't help but froze in fear.
The dragon brilliance has disappeared, and more importantly, even the bones of the ancestor of the snake clan have disappeared!
"How can this be!"
"Could it be that after you took the orb, the skeleton lost some protective magic weapon and simply became weathered?" After a long while, Jiangxue managed to find a reasonable explanation for this strange scene, but these words
Even she herself didn't quite believe it.
Wang Long hesitated a little, nodded and said: "This may be the best explanation, but I always feel that something is wrong..." But he looked around, and the bones of the descendants of the clan leaders were still there, and their spiritual positions were intact, except for this
Nothing has changed except the bones of the ancestors.
He let out a long sigh, secretly thinking that this might be it, he was a little too worried.
Reaching out to securely close the coffin lid, and helping Jiangxue place all the clan leader's memorial tablets, the two of them took one last look here and entered the sealed stone chamber at the back.
As soon as they entered the stone chamber, they noticed the difference. Light came in from an unknown place, and the entire stone chamber was already on.
"Here it is!" Wang Long shouted, pulled Jiang Xue and ran over. Sure enough, in a remote corner, a stone door half a man's height was opened, and a light that was not very bright came in.
"Great, we can finally go out..." Wang Long smiled happily.
Jiangxue was still a little hesitant: "After all... is it because we arranged the coffin cover and triggered the mechanism to open the stone door; or... has anyone else been here?"
Wang Long was startled and said hurriedly: "You mean...the disappeared skeleton?!"
He thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "This is too unbelievable. Although this possibility cannot be completely ruled out, the first priority is to go out first. I don't know if Elder Mingyi has broken through, but no matter what, we still
We must first return to Dragon City and bring back the news here."
Jiangxue nodded, and the two of them entered the stone door one after another and climbed up following the light in the cave.
The stone cave opened almost straight up and down, making it difficult to climb. Although both of them had advanced cultivation and extraordinary skills, it took them nearly an hour to see the entrance of the cave.
Wang Long jumped out first and saw that he was standing on the top of a cliff. Below was a bottomless valley, with only one side leading to the bottom of the mountain. The mountain breeze was blowing and it was very cool.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand, gave Jiangxue a handful, and walked out of the cave.
"This seems to be opposite the cliff top when we entered the snake clan's lair..." Jiangxue looked around and concluded immediately.
Wang Long was not as sensitive to these things as Jiang Xue, and said with a smile: "In this case, we may have to go around in a circle before we can go back. Anyway, let's go down the mountain first."
Jiangxue nodded, and the two of them walked down the only mountain road, followed the trend, and slowly walked out of the range of Sangyou Mountain.
…
Wang Long stayed in the village at the foot of the mountain for a day to inquire, but there was no news about Zhang Mingyi. The two guessed that he did not stay here, and they were not sure whether he had fallen into the snake demon clan.
in hand.
Although they were a little worried, there were dangers lurking deep within the control area of the Snake Clan. Staying for one more day would be even more dangerous. After some discussion, the two decided to return to Dragon City first and inform the leader and the elders of the information they found here.
The two people were sleeping in the open air without stopping. They both used dragon skills and dragon methods to march rapidly towards the direction of Dragon City. After this close escape, they were far away from the influence of the Snake Clan and approached the territory of Dragon City.
boundary, and then slowed down and began to rest.
"Jiangxue, there seems to be a hotel ahead. It's time for us to take a rest after traveling such a long way!" Wang Long looked at Jiangxue.
Jiangxue nodded and walked forward first.
The two of them sat down at a place near the window, and Wang Long ordered some wine and food, and started eating and drinking. Although they brought dry food for the march along the way, the food was very unpalatable.
Jiangxue was not very interested in oral pleasure, so she took a few bites and then turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.
Wang Long was feeling interesting when suddenly a voice from behind said: "Little brother, the seats are full. Can I share a table here?"
Looking back, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt, with a very calm expression, and a pair of arms that shot out lightning like a poisonous snake spitting out messages. It was so strange that Wang Long suddenly had hair on his back after just one glance.
The illusion of coolness.
However, upon closer inspection, except for the extremely fair skin of the visitor, as if he had not seen the sun all year round, he was just like ordinary people in other places, there was nothing different about him.
Wang Long calmed down and looked around. Sure enough, the seats were full of people. He nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, we are destined to meet each other. We are almost finished eating. Please sit down."
The man stopped being polite, sat down next to Wang Long, nodded in greeting, and asked: "Looking at the attire of the two of you, they don't seem to be locals. May I ask where they are from?"
Wang Long didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, so he said casually: "My brother and sister are from Zhongzhou and are here to visit relatives."
The man in green shirt glanced at Jiang Xue, then at Wang Long, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister? They don't look alike to me. They look more like a young couple running away from home..."
Jiangxue's pretty face immediately turned red, and she even moved her right hand slightly. Wang Long was very familiar with it. This was a prelude to her intention to take action.
However, Wang Long felt that these words were somewhat useful and did not hide them. He smiled bitterly and said: "Why do you need to distinguish the true from the false so clearly? May I ask, brother, where are you from and what is your job here?"
"It's okay not to mention it. I was born and raised here, and I was imprisoned on this land. I don't know how many years have passed without seeing the light of day... I don't know if those old acquaintances are still alive. It's really that things are different and people are different!" The man in green shirt said
He looks like he is only in his thirties, but he has a very strange feeling about how the world has changed.
