In Longming Mountain, the swordsmanship learned by the second senior sister was rarely practiced by Chen Qiu. Most of the time, he served as a sparring partner.
Seeing that Chen Qiu didn't say anything else, Lu Yao wisely didn't ask any more questions.
In the dim cave, you can see a few people from time to time, but everyone maintains absolute vigilance and does not disturb each other.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, everyone was talking and laughing, trying to make the atmosphere less tense. However, a female disciple of Tianxuan Sect suddenly screamed "Ah", which instantly made the atmosphere tense.
Chen Qiu stepped forward, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
The female disciple's face turned pale and she was so nervous that she didn't know how to speak. Chen Qiu looked down and saw that she had kicked a corpse, but the corpse died in an extremely strange way. It was as skinny as a stick, and the muscles on the entire face were sunken.
It was as if his energy had been drained, and his eyes were wide open, full of fear. He had obviously experienced great terror before his death.
But what is even more puzzling is that there are no wounds on the body, so how did it die?
Lin Ruoxi frowned: "Is this a method of absorbing semen?"
The corner of Chen Qiu's mouth twitched, but he could not rule out this possibility, because the man died as if he had been used to absorb semen, just like the Qiao family had used it before at the martial arts conference, but compared with what he saw before him, it was
Somewhat pale in comparison.
Chen Qiu squinted his eyes, looked deeper into the cave, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that things are not so peaceful."
After walking for about two hours, the view became much clearer, but along the way, we encountered many corpses. Most of them died in the same way as the mummies we met earlier. Some of them were drained of their vitality.
People were killed using very cruel methods.
This seemingly calm cave was actually filled with turbulent undercurrents, which made Chen Qiu and others even more cautious.
Lin Ruoxi was not particularly afraid. After all, she was a close disciple of the Tianxuan Sect leader. It would be ridiculous if she didn't even have this courage.
She seemed to be still worried about the affairs of Lu Yao and others, and she poked Chen Qiu in the waist and asked him to go find out the news.
Chen Qiu had no choice but to step forward, walking side by side with Lu Yao, and smiled awkwardly: "Miss Lu, are you here to look for treasures in the cave?"
Lu Yao glanced at Lin Ruoxi lightly, seeming to understand, and explained with a chuckle: "Originally, we only planned to practice in Tianhai Villa, but then the master ordered us to come and have a look in the cave. It is said that there is really a treasure here.
."
Chen Qiu raised his eyebrows; "Oh? Then do you know what kind of treasure it is?"
Lu Yao shook her head: "I don't know the specifics. The master said it very vaguely. It is said that many well-known aristocratic families and sects have already sent people. In fact, we are here early."
Chen Qiu chuckled and said, "Isn't this a marketing ploy of the Bai family?"
"No." Lu Yao said seriously: "It's okay for the Bai family to deceive ordinary warriors. Those aristocratic families and sects are not something he can offend. Even if he relies on the Long family, let alone the people of the Long family.
We’re all here, do you still think it’s easy here?”
Lin Ruoxi curled her lips and said: "But we have come so far and still haven't seen it? And you haven't noticed that we only saw the people who were walking with us, but not the people who came out. Could it be that, as the outside world said, this
A life of nine deaths in the mountains, with no return?"
Lu Yao was speechless and didn't know how to explain it, because along the way now, she really didn't see anyone coming out of the depths of the cave, and she encountered so many mummies dying strangely, and she was really murmuring in her heart.
As for the treasure, there is no leakage at present, but countless forces are quietly heading to Tianhai Villa.
However, now we can only take one step at a time!
Just as the group was thinking wildly, Lin Ruoxi suddenly stopped and Chen Qiu raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
Lin Ruoxi did not answer, but after careful identification, she whispered: "Did you hear the sound of water?"
"The sound of water?" Everyone was stunned. They stopped and listened carefully. As expected, there was really the sound of water!
Chen Qiu narrowed his eyes: "This water should be under our feet."
"Underfoot?" Lu Yao was a little confused: "If there is water under the feet, then we... aren't we hanging in the air?"
Chen Qiu nodded: "I don't know, it's an underground river, it's a normal phenomenon. If you look carefully, the sound of the water flow is obvious, and it's also a bit empty, which means there's a lot of space down there!"
Lin Ruoxi was overjoyed: "Is the treasure down here?"
Chen Qiu was a little speechless: "It shouldn't be the case, right? Keep walking forward and see."
With the sound of water, it seemed that they had the motivation to move forward. Chen Qiu and others speeded up. As the pace progressed, the space became wider and wider, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, which was very intoxicating.
"Did you smell it?" Lu Yao closed her eyes, opened her arms, and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, her face was filled with relief: "It smells so fragrant, like the fragrance of osmanthus."
Lin Ruoxi said angrily: "There is no sun here, how can sweet-scented osmanthus grow in a place like this?"
"I'm so tired." Several other female disciples of Tianxuan Sect sat on the ground one after another, looking very tired, and some even dozed off directly.
I have to say that after driving for more than a day, I was really exhausted, and I also had to fight with the technology people. At this moment, even Chen Qiu couldn't bear it anymore. His feet seemed to be stuck.
I didn't want to move, I was exhausted.
Lin Ruoxi and Lu Yao did the same. They sat on the ground one after another, feeling the intoxicating aroma and dozing off.
Lin Ruoxi was lying in Chen Qiu's arms, her eyes a little blurry: "I'm so sleepy, I'm really sleepy, how about we take a rest?"
Chen Qiu's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and he couldn't even hear clearly what Lin Ruoxi was saying. He nodded: "Well... eat barbecue..."
"Huh? What's a good show?"
"Who's uncle?"
The two of them talked incoherently and fell asleep. After a while, they both fell asleep.
...
I don't know how long it took, Chen Qiu opened his eyes in a daze, only to find that Lin Ruoxi and others were gone. He was very energetic after a good sleep. He stood up and stretched, looked around, and couldn't help but scratch his head.
My head, I feel like I haven’t slept for too long either.
I seemed to have fallen asleep for about five minutes, but why were all the people gone?
"Where is Xiao Xi? Lu Yao?"
Even though Chen Qiu shouted, they were still nowhere to be seen, which made Chen Qiu feel very weird.
That shouldn't be the case. Even if they wake up, they will definitely call out to him. There is no way they will leave him here, and even if there is movement, he will be able to detect it.
"Chen Qiu!" At this moment, a shout came suddenly, and when he looked around, he saw a beautiful figure coming into view.
When he saw who it was, Chen Qiu was greatly shocked and said in disbelief: "Is it you?"
