Inside the cave, not only could I not see my fingers, but there was also a cold wind blowing from nowhere, whistling.
It makes people feel as if they are in hell and hear the cries of hundreds of ghosts.
This weird cold wind not only makes people's scalp numb with its sound, but is also bone-chilling.
When it blows onto a person's body, it feels like the skin and flesh are being blown open and the bones are being blown away.
However, the 'Black and White Impermanence' and Guizhan are completely unaffected by this strange cold wind.
They go against the wind and still go very fast.
It's just that this cave is unfathomably deep. The ghost team has been floating inside for a long time, but they still haven't bottomed out.
And there are many side roads.
No wonder the night watchmen and the army searched the mountain before but failed to find the tiger and his demons.
They only need to drill into this cave. Even if the night watchman and the army can find them, they will only get lost in it if they don't know the route.
Once you get lost, let alone killing ghosts and demons, whether you can get out alive is a question.
When Qin Shaoyou saw this, he prayed secretly, hoping that Su Jianqing would be more helpful and not go astray here.
After drifting for a while, the ghost team suddenly turned a corner.
The front suddenly becomes clear.
But they came to a huge cave.
What surprised Qin Shaoyou was that there was light in this huge cave!
It was not firelight, nor moonlight projected from the cracks in the mountains, but a dark green light.
Qin Shaoyou, who pretended to be asleep, closed his eyes and looked around quietly.
With the help of the [Bright Eyesight] talent, he soon discovered that this dark green light came from a type of moss growing in the cave.
It's a pity that there are no mobile phones or Internet in this world, otherwise Qin Shaoyou would like to take some photos of glowing moss. Aite called Teacher Tibetan Fox and asked what species it was...
In addition to glowing moss, Qin Shaoyou also saw a lot of "bacon" hanging on stone pillars in this cave.
If you look closely, they are all marinated human flesh!
Some have an arm and a leg.
Some are just a head, or half a body.
Looking around, this is a mountain of corpses and a forest of corpses, which is horrifying!
Qin Shaoyou also discovered a problem among these human flesh - they were all the limbs of adults, and none of them belonged to children.
Qin Shaoyou guessed that these were mostly people from outside the mountain who were collected by the tigers to pay for their passage after entering the mountain.
But, what about the captured boys and girls?
Were they eaten directly by tigers?
Or was it used for another purpose?
Just when Qin Shaoyou was guessing, he made some new discoveries:
On the ground in one part of the cave, there were many things scattered randomly, all of which were relics left by those who had been made into "bacon".
There are some goods, some clothes worn by the victim, and some other personal belongings.
Qin Shaoyou also saw some waist badges among the pile of relics.
Several of the waist cards made him say "huh" secretly in his heart, giving rise to a guess...
The ghost messenger carried the human bone sedan, followed behind the 'Black and White Wuchang', and floated to the center of the cave.
Here is a spacious large stone platform.
There is a carpet on the stone platform. Through the talent of [Bright Eyes], Qin Shaoyou can clearly see that this carpet is neither made of wool nor cotton and linen, but made of human hair!
How many human hairs does it take to make such a big carpet?
How many more people will be killed?
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Looking at the center of the carpet, there is a desk made of dead bones.
On the bone table were plates and wine glasses made of human skulls, filled with food and emitting a nauseating stench.
Next to the bone table is a huge human bone chair.
At this moment, there was a man half-lying in a human bone chair, and several pretty female ghosts and banshees kept feeding wine and meat from the bone table into his mouth.
Wine is made from human blood, and meat is made from human heart and lungs.
The skulls on the human bone chair are still "alive". Whenever the tiger half-lying on the human bone chair moves, they will scream in pain.
Looking around, there are still human bones hanging there.
The 'Black and White Impermanence' and the ghosts who come here will involuntarily look at these human bones, and they are not the same ones.
Qin Shaoyou secretly guessed that these skeletons were probably those of 'Black and White Wuchang' and Guizha.
I just don’t know, is it because the bones are in the hands of the tiger that they have to succumb to him?
"You're back? Why did you go so long today?"
Tiger, half lying on the human bone chair, narrowed his eyes and asked.
There was no emotion or anger in his voice, but Black and White Impermanence and the ghost servants were so frightened that they immediately fell to their knees and trembled.
'Bai Wuchang' took courage and reported cautiously: "Reporting to the tiger, a caravan came to Gumiao Village today to stay overnight. Among them was a man and woman who wanted to commit suicide, and they voluntarily took the place of the boy and girl prepared by Gumiao Village.
.In order to verify the identities of these people and absorb more Yang Qi and essence from everyone in the caravan and bring them back to the tiger, we wasted some time..."
Having said this, 'Bai Wuchang' turned his head and ordered to the ghost man crawling behind him: "Bring those three caravan members up!"
Immediately, ghost messengers floated up and threw the three night watchmen they captured along the way next to the human skeleton sedan.
"Caravan? Martyred men and women? Ha... Gumiao Village's luck is quite good. It's not in vain that I took great care of them back then."
The tiger, half lying on the human bone chair, opened his eyes and sat up.
His sharp eyes swept over Qin Shaoyou and others, and suddenly he sneered and said sarcastically: "Stop pretending, open your eyes."
Qin Shaoyou's heart suddenly thumped: Is this exposed?
He subconsciously wanted to touch the weapon hidden on his body, but he immediately endured it.
Because he found that the tiger had no intention of taking action, and the other demons and ghosts here only looked at them and did not pounce on them.
So Qin Shaoyou planned to stay put and see what medicine was sold in the tiger's gourd.
Su Tingyu and the three night watchmen also kept their composure and did not act rashly.
At this time, the tiger slowly spoke again: "The cold wind at the entrance of the cave has woken you up a long time ago? What, you want to pretend to be unconscious and dead, and then find a chance to escape? Stop dreaming, I am the king of this mountain.
!God of this mountain! You can’t go anywhere without my permission!”
When the tiger said this, he raised his head and laughed.
The demons and ghosts waiting around, as well as the "Black and White Wuchang" and ghost servants kneeling on the ground, and even the human bone sedan chair, human bone desk and human bone chair, all laughed strangely.
Such an environment and such laughter are really weird and scary.
Qin Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief: It turns out we were not exposed, okay, okay. This tiger was breathing heavily when he spoke, which made me almost take action in advance...
At the same time, he opened his eyes as instructed, pretending to be scared, but quietly looked at the tiger sitting on the human bone chair.
Under the reflection of the luminous moss, the tiger's whole body glows green, like a green light.
When he saw the tiger's appearance clearly, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but be stunned.
This tiger looks very familiar.
He is...the God of Earth?!
Qin Shaoyou thought of the earth gods enshrined in the ancient temple village.
The tiger's appearance is at least 60-70% similar to the earth god statue in the temple.
It's just that the tiger is younger, with black beard and hair. Although he has a smile on his face, he doesn't have a kind feeling, and it just makes people feel ferocious.
but……
Why does the tiger look like an earth god?
What is his relationship with the earth god?
Qin Shaoyou suddenly remembered something. In the ancient temple village, some villagers once said that their earth temple was originally very efficacious, but after the tiger trouble, it was no longer efficacious.
So, the tiger ate the earth god enshrined in the ancient temple village and transformed into his appearance?
