The changes before our eyes were too sudden.
All the torches were mysteriously extinguished at once, and people's vision suddenly darkened.
Then the raft sank.
Something is aboard...
All this happened in a short moment.
There was absolutely no chance of an emergency.
It smells like blood!
The blood is so rich that it makes you sick!
"Little brother!"
"Sharpen the sword!"
"Are you guys okay?"
In the blinding darkness, the urgent low shout of the old Taoist priest came from the stern of the boat.
However, when a person suddenly enters darkness from a bright place, the human eye cannot adapt immediately in a short period of time. The old Taoist priest only feels that in front of his eyes, there is still darkness in addition to darkness.
He was immediately blinded.
"I'm fine, old man. There's something on board. Just hide and don't make any sound!" Jin An's response came immediately from the darkness.
Jin An finished speaking.
There was a hot red horse that lit up in the darkness. It was Jin An who took action decisively.
He swung his knife directly in the vague direction of the thing boarding the ship in the darkness.
When the red sword light struck out, it also illuminated the raft in a circle.
call
Jin An's sword struck the air and only hit the air. The red sword light in his hand only illuminated the two red faces of him and the old Taoist priest in the darkness. The sword was sharpened and disappeared.
When the torch light was lit again, only half of the body was left standing on the raft where the sword was originally sharpened. The intestines and blood flowed all over the raft. Only the lower body and the body above the waist and abdomen disappeared.
It looked like something on the top of his head had bitten off half of his body.
The smell of blood in the closed cave became even stronger.
"If you sharpen your sword, you will die miserably!"
The old Taoist priest's eyes turned red, and he burst into tears immediately, and he went to hug the half corpse in grief.
But as soon as the old Taoist priest approached half of the corpse, he cried: "Little brother, that's wrong. The clothes on this man's body are not sword-cutting clothes. Why are they a dark gray long coat?"
"He's not sharpening the sword, old man, look above our heads." Jin An held up a torch and shined it at the top of the cave, as if he had made some important discovery.
When he heard that it was not a corpse with a sword, the old Taoist wiped away his tears and nose with the sleeve of his Taoist robe, and looked up at the top of the cave by the light of the torch in Jin An's hand.
"!"
The old Taoist priest was stunned.
The statue of the Tomb Beast that was hanging above their heads before disappeared, revealing a hole the size of a person.
The entrance to the cave was so dark that even with a torch, it couldn't illuminate what was inside.
Because it was blocked by the Tomb Beast before, I didn't realize there was such a hole above my head.
call
call
There is airflow blowing out of the hole, which should be connected to the outside world.
Just now, their torches were blown out by the wind blowing from the entrance of the cave.
"No wonder we went so deep into the cave and never felt that the air was stuffy or uncomfortable. The Cave of Thousand Corpses is still connected to the outside world. The torch was extinguished by the wind just now."
"Old man, I just thought I saw a ghost blowing out the lamp..."
When he learned that the person who died was not a sharp sword, the old Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, and then he also leaned his head to look at the hole above his head.
"Old Taoist, the body with only the lower body, if I guessed correctly, should belong to one of the Yin Yang Masters or Feng Shui Masters who came together with the people crossing the river. You see there is blood near the entrance of the cave. It was obviously taken away by a sneak attack.
He killed someone, dragged him into a cave, killed him, and was eaten."
Jin An held up a torch and carefully observed the entrance of the cave and said.
"It seems that we are not going wrong. We are taking the same correct route as the people crossing the river."
"The people crossing the river were walking ahead of us, and they also encountered a series of strange things exactly like us, and they also saw people and beasts suppressing tombs."
"Then, just like us, the torch was extinguished and we were attacked from above."
"As for the extra half of the corpse on our ship, it should be something hiding in the hole above our head. When they attacked us in the dark, they left behind uneaten human bodies."
The old Taoist priest was worried about the safety of sharpening the sword. He looked anxious and said: "Doesn't that mean that the person who took away the sharpening sword is the same murderer who ate the upper body of this man? Sharpening the sword is dangerous!"
"The Renxi Tomb Beast eats people. Sure enough, there will always be unknown strange things happening in the big tomb of the Renxi Tomb Beast. Isn't the sharp sword already eaten by the Renxi Tomb Beast..."
The old Taoist priest became even more worried about the safety of sharpening his sword.
Wandering around in a hurry on the raft.
Jin An frowned.
Now even he is in a dilemma.
The hole above his head is very large, and it is not difficult for him to enter alone. But now the sword has disappeared, and his life and death are unknown. If he enters the hole rashly, leaving the old Taoist priest alone in the Cave of Thousand Corpses, if another accident happens to the old Taoist priest, Chi
If the sword is not missing, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Sharpening swords and old Taoist priests are both important.
None of the three of them can have any accidents.
After pondering for a moment, Jin An said to the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, please wait for me for a while. I will go into the cave to see if I can find a sharp sword. If the hole in the top of the cave above my head is very deep, I will not be able to finish it in a while.
I will withdraw in time and then think of another way to sharpen the sword."
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest had no objection and hurriedly urged Jin An to find something to sharpen his sword.
Let Jin An not worry about his safety.
He has traveled alone in the world for so many years and knows how to protect himself in dangerous places.
Although the roof of the cave is a bit high from the raft, it does not affect Jin'an at all.
He jumped up lightly and already grabbed the entrance of the cave with his hands.
Use both arms hard.
The person has successfully entered the cave entrance.
As a result, just after entering the cave entrance, Jin An was almost suffocated by the smell in the cave, including the smell of blood, the smell of rotting corpses, and some other strange and unspeakable smells.
The cave is very dark and the space is so narrow that only one person can crawl forward. He cannot even turn around, he can only move forward or backward.
…
The old Taoist priest was the only one left on the raft.
He did not sit still and planned to draw spells on the raft.
It can be said that the old Taoist priests have nothing to do with copying, except that they are familiar with it.
But before the old Taoist priest could copy a few spells, Jin An, who had just entered the hole above his head, quickly retreated.
"No, the cave entrances above extend in all directions. Just like the Cave of Thousand Corpses, there are many forks. People can easily lose their way in it." Jin An returned to the raft and shook his head at the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest was worried about the safety of sharpening the sword. The longer it took, the more dangerous it would be to sharpen the sword. Jin An thought for a while and decided to try to leave the body.
Just when the two were discussing countermeasures and how to find a sharp sword, suddenly, they were alone in the silence, and in the dark cave of thousands of corpses, there was a splashing sound and splashing water.
The sound of falling water was particularly harsh in the empty silence and darkness, and echoed far away.
"Little brother! This time it's coming from behind us again!"
The old Taoist priest and Jin An turned around and looked behind them at the same time.
"Shh, listen carefully, there seems to be some movement!" Jin An made a silent motion toward the old Taoist priest, and then listened carefully to the movement in the darkness behind him.
The old Taoist priest immediately held his breath.
Wow
