Not far away, Ling Feng glanced at Ling Yun: "Our master, could it be that he has fallen in love with Miss Liu?"
Ling Yun thought about it for a while: "To be reckoned with, the Lord has reached the age when love begins. If an ordinary person meets a beauty with both talent and beauty like Miss Liu, he will inevitably not be tempted, but the exercises that the Lord practices are most taboo on love. You shouldn’t go astray.”
The two brothers did not guess the reason.
The next moment, Shen Yanchu walked towards them, and the two brothers immediately fell silent and curled up their necks like quails.
"The sword tomb is under a sarcophagus. We will act accordingly when the time comes." He said through a message.
"I obey my orders."
There was no daylight in the mine, and the bonfire was almost extinguished, leaving only a few scattered flickering lights.
After a night of repairs, everyone was on the road again.
After passing through a large area of sand and gravel, there was actually a pool of water in front of us, criss-crossing from the soles of our feet. Hundreds of cattle and sheep bones were piled on the shallow water surface, and the original color could no longer be distinguished.
The strong smell of blood and rancid smell in the air was so unpleasant that some people even started retching while holding on to the stone wall.
Although Liu Ruyan was used to the blood on the battlefield, she was still deeply shocked when she saw the blood and bones in this pool.
It was like a large slaughterhouse, with corpses scattered everywhere and countless reptiles, rats and ants covering the bones, gnawing at the remaining remains.
"I knew I wouldn't have eaten so much just now." A Lan vomited for a while, but still felt unwell, so she covered her mouth and nose with a cloth.
Angelica dahurica is sensitive to smell, and he felt uncomfortable at this moment: "Could this be the skink's lair?"
"I don't think it looks like a nest." Liu Ruyan frowned and also wanted to put on a cloth, "This smells really bad."
Ling Yun covered his mouth and nose while standing in front of Shen Yanchu, "The filth in this pool must not stain the Lord's eyes. Please move away, Lord."
Shen Yanchu pushed him away slightly and said calmly: "I am not so noble."
Liu Ruyan's hands tied with a cloth paused, and she only revealed her eyes to look at him: "Not bad, you have made some progress. Your style is much better than that of Young Master Jin."
"A dog cannot spit out ivory from its mouth." Shen Yanchu said in a cold tone.
"I'm talking about Brother Liu." Jin Buhuan called lightly, with a pair of charming and sentimental peach-blossom eyes raised at the end, which seemed to be lingering and pathos, but his smile was neither yin nor yang, "You're going to lose, don't drag me in. Make people think you are thinking about me."
Liu Ruyan also followed suit and smiled: "Young Master Jin condescended to come here, but how are you going to get through this pool of blood next?"
Jin Buhuan was not good at lightening techniques. When he thought of the cattle, mutton bones and maggots in the pond, his face turned green: "I am deliberately disgusting, right? I don't believe you can't think of a way."
Liu Ruyan smiled noncommittally and looked at the blood pool in front of her again. Obviously, these animals were thrown into the pool half a year ago, and the skink's lair may be nearby.
She turned her face and looked into the void. Every scene in the cave was displayed on the system screen. Everywhere she went, she could unlock a map.
She gradually zoomed in on the picture, and finally discovered that there was a high ground outside the pool, and a narrow road that could lead to the other side.
"Go to the end on the right, there is a road there."
The bright and cheerful look on her face attracted everyone's attention. It must be that the bright moon shines brightly, just like Miss Liu's talent and grace.
It is said to be a road, but in fact it is just a stone path protruding from the water, mixed with blood, and rotten and blackened bones and mud can be seen everywhere.
Shen Yanchu glanced at it from a distance and said in a cold voice: "Trouble."
Liu Ruyan didn't even have time to react before she was hugged by his shoulders and flew towards the other side. Until her feet landed on the ground, Liu Ruyan was still staring at him with an expression of disbelief.
Shen Yanchu turned away from her probing eyes: "What do you think I'm doing?"
"Devil, have you lost your memory again?" she asked.
Shen Yanchu glanced sideways, but his tone was still arrogant: "How can you survive until now with such poor skills?"
Come on, this devil, even if his memory is restored, he can't change his harmful habits.
Liu Ruyan immediately retorted: "It's not a gift from someone."
Shen Yanchu continued to expose his shortcomings: "Even if you still have strength, your little effort is not enough to protect yourself."
She died unexpectedly in her previous life, which was true, but she did not admit defeat.
Just as Liu Ruyan and Shen Yanchu were bickering, several other people arrived one after another.
Everyone followed the previously trained formation, with Liu Ruyan as the crossbowman and Shen Yanchu walking in line with her to protect the safety of the crossbowman.
After leaving the pool, they walked into a stone alley. The dark, long and narrow alley extended to the end. The deeper they went, the more Liu Ruyan became more wary.
Judging from the traces on the ground, the skink passed by here not long ago, and there were fresh blood stains on the ground. She stopped, raised her hand, raised it above her head, and made a gesture.
Others understood and lit the arrow clusters in their hands.
As everyone continued to move forward, there was a faint rustling sound in the darkness, and two huge skinks gradually appeared, mouthing letters from time to time.
"Their nest is nearby." Shen Yanchu looked forward.
Liu Ruyan was ready and secretly glanced at the map of the sacrificial platform. Currently, there were only three gray areas left as unknown, which meant that the sword tomb, lair, and exit were included here.
More and more skinks were coming towards them, and everyone held their breath and did not dare to breathe out.
When Liu Ruyan raised her finger again and made another gesture, the eight crossbowmen immediately took position, aimed at the herd of animals, pulled the trigger, and took turns shooting arrows. In an instant, the arrows flew out of the string and shot at the skinks.
There was a continuous fire in the long and narrow passage. As the beast herd collapsed, everyone ran forward with all their strength. In the meantime, skinks rushed towards them and were shot by the crossbowmen's arrows. Even if there were some fish that slipped through the net, Dugu Yi and the others blocked it with their swords, and the end of the passage was right in front of them.
Liu Ruyan fired arrows one after another, forcing the skinks back a little, and then they moved forward a little. During this period, she finally saw clearly that the beasts crawled out of a crack on the side of the passage. It seemed that there was something behind the crack. It's their nest.
The eldest brother Tufuzi has sharp eyes, and he could tell at a glance that someone had tampered with this so-called crack, "Sure enough, someone wants to murder us. Hey, his thoughts are really vicious. If I get caught, let's see how I deal with it!"
"Brother, look, there is a stone door in front of you!" The second brother pulled his sleeve.
The third brother also shouted: "The treasure must be behind this stone gate!"
When everyone heard that there was a treasure, the crossbow formation began to slacken as they were distracted. One of the crossbowmen fired ten empty arrows in succession. Shilongzi waited for an opportunity to break through the defense line and rush in front of the crossbowman. Seeing this, Liu Ruyan had no choice but to throw away the arrows in his hand. The crossbow was aimed at the charging reptile, and when she loaded the arrow again, the skink opposite her was already approaching.
