"From now on, you have to be more vigilant!" Lin Dong turned his head and told Fang Yizhi and the others to be more vigilant.
"Let's walk in front!" Yun Jiyu suggested that she and Lin Dong walk in front.
"No, no, we have to walk in front. Otherwise, we will ask Chief Yan to dismiss us!" Fang Yizhi was shocked when he heard that. Was it appropriate to let them walk in front? If that was the case, why would they follow? They were here to be bodyguards. Was there any reason to let the bodyguards walk behind?
After the mechanism was activated.
The group of giant pythons immediately became restless.
The Yin energy that slowly seeped out from behind the stone wall of the mechanism had accelerated their mutation. After generations of mutation, they became what they were today.
Now that there was a huge amount of Yin energy seeping out from inside, the group of giant pythons naturally moved.
They changed their previous laziness and woke up from their sleep.
They swam towards the entrance of the stone wall and gathered.
Fang Yizhi and the others were shocked.
They were armed.
They stared at the group of giant pythons nervously.
It was not scary to encounter a small number of giant pythons along the way. However, there were thousands of giant pythons. Once they attacked, how could they protect the little chief and retreat safely?
"Let's go. They are just here to absorb some Yin energy. They won't dare to come in." Lin Dong waved his hand and gestured for the team to set off.
"Yes." Fang Yizhi was overjoyed when he heard that. As long as the group of giant pythons did not follow, there was really nothing to worry about.
They entered the newly opened passage in the stone wall.
At the beginning, it was narrow and only a few people could walk side by side at the same time.
After walking for a few miles, the passage became wider and wider. At the same time, the Yin energy inside became denser. It was obviously dry and without water, but it was like walking into a long ice cave.
The winding passage finally came to an end.
There was a flat ground at the end.
It was the size of a square.
The cave was a hundred meters high.
The surroundings were as dark as ink. They could not see their fingers in front of them.
Fang Yize led the special forces to investigate the area carefully, and discovered that there were many human skeletons and broken firearms in the corners.
"It seems that the legend is true. During the Republic of China, there were warlords who were greedy for secret treasures and once sent thousands of people into the cave …" Fang Yizhi gestured to the information collector in the team to take pictures of these scenes. "There are no other creatures here. These people died here, and their skeletons are intact. It doesn't look like they were attacked by monsters or killed after finding treasures. Strange, how did they die?"
"Could they have starved to death?" Xie Qingyang raised a doubt.
"This place is less than ten kilometers away from the cave. Can't they even last this distance?" Li Qing shook his head. He felt that the original owners of these skeletons did not starve to death.
"If people are starved to their limit, they can't even walk one kilometer, not to mention ten kilometers." Fang Yizhi did not agree with Xie Qingyang, but he rejected Li Qing's argument. After carefully observing the skeletons, he counted the number of skeletons found and shook his head doubtfully. "What I want to know the most now is not the cause of their death, but the number of people! According to the legend, during the Republic of China, a warlord once sent thousands of people into the cave to search for treasures. However, there are less than 20 skeletons left here. Where are the rest of the people? "
"It might be an exaggeration. Treasure hunting is a matter of profit. It is impossible to send thousands of people. Even if they sent a team of 100 people, there would not be much profit to be gained after dividing it up!" Yang Jingxin laughed.
"Even if there are only 100 people, the skeletons here are far from enough!" Fang Yizhi still felt suspicious.
"Maybe some of them were swallowed by the giant python outside!" Li Qing guessed.
"Let's ask the young chief. What's the use of guessing?" Xie Qingyang decided to let Lin Dong deal with the problem. He knew that he was not the kind of person who was born to use his brain to think about the details. He would not use his brain if he could!
Accompanied by Yun Jiyu, Lin Dong walked around.
They circled around.
When Fang Yizhi came, Lin Dong did not answer their questions. Instead, he assigned a task to Fang Yizhi and the others. "Send someone out of the cave and report to Elder Yan that we have found the mechanism to break through to the next level. It may take a few days for us to enter the underground world. Ask him not to worry! Let's make an appointment in five days. If we do not get out in five days, he will send someone to help us! "
"Is there a mechanism to break through to the next level?" Fang Yizhi and the others suddenly realized that there was a mechanism. In that case, more than half of the treasure hunting team should have died inside.
"It's inside the stone wall in the east!" Lin Dong nodded.
"I'll go back and report to Chief Yan. I'm the fastest!" Li Qing volunteered, knowing that Fang Yizhi was leading the team and could not easily leave Lin Dong's side. "Be quick.
Take five people with you and report back as fast as you can. If the giant pythons don't intend to attack, don't provoke them. If there's any movement, come back here. We can't break out of the encirclement recklessly. We'll think of something when we come back! "Fang Yize was very meticulous and repeatedly told Li Qing not to force his way in.
"Yes." Li Qing stood at attention and saluted. Then, he picked five members and quickly returned.
"While there is still time, you can set up camp here. I'll find out how to open the mechanism in the safest way!" Lin Dong assigned a task to Fang Yizhi and the others and sent them away.
"So there is such a strange space passage in our country?" Yun Jiyu was very happy. This time, she did not have to return empty-handed.
She could sense it.
There was a special sealed door hidden in the stone wall.
This kind of sealed door gave her a different feeling from the independent space in Bamboo Leaf Valley.
Lin Dong nodded almost imperceptibly. "The back of this place is different from the space passage that leads to Purgatory overseas, but I believe that it leads to a similar specific world. As for the specific situation inside, we still have to go in and take a look to know! Later, take your people and stand far away. When I open the seal, I need to cover up the light! "
"How did the subordinates of the warlords during the Republic of China get in?" Yun Jiyu was a little confused. This was not a space passage that could be opened with guns.
"It must be the work of a cultivator. Otherwise, how could a group of soldiers have the ability to open the seal?" Lin Dong was amused.
"If it was a cultivator, why did he bring so many soldiers with him?" Yun Jiyu was puzzled again.
"Sacrifice!" Lin Dong gently spat out two words.
"…" Yun Jiyu's hands trembled.
This.
It was an extremely cruel answer that was close to the truth.
Without enough human lives, it would not be easy to open the sealed door with the power of the sect masters and elders of the various sects.
Even if that person was far more powerful than the sect master of the Vast Expanse Sect and the sect master of the Riding Cloud Sect, he would not be willing to waste so much energy on a sealed door. After all, he had to save enough power to go in and search for the secret treasure.
Therefore, the sacrifice of human lives was almost the most necessary and the most effective method.
"No wonder there is a chilly wind here!" Yun Jiyu did not know how many people the guy who used human lives to open the door had sacrificed, but without a few hundred people, how could he successfully open the sealed door? Don't even think about it! According to these details, the greedy warlord who sent troops to search for the treasure was probably just a cover to deceive the world. The truth behind it might be that the warlord and his soldiers had long been controlled by someone else. The army coming here was just a sacrificial material for them to open the door!
Thinking about the skeletons found so far, there were no injuries on them. They must be the remains of the sacrificial offerings.
The demon who searched for the treasure left these bewitching puppet soldiers outside.
As time went by.
Abandoned here without anyone to take care of them, the puppet soldiers who had no independent thoughts and didn't know how to eat and drink naturally starved to death here …
Li Qing led the team back within two hours, and Lin Dong also opened the sealed door in a loud rumbling sound. He used a cloud of dust and black fog to completely cover the light and shadow of opening the seal. Fang Yizhi and the others stood fifty meters away according to Yun Jiyu's request.
They could feel a kind of biting cold power suddenly rushing out of the stone wall, almost blowing people away.
They thought it was the air pressure after the mechanism was opened.
They didn't know it was actually the power of the seal.
Moreover.
This was the result of Lin Dong completely blocking it. Otherwise, it was impossible for Fang Yizhi and the others to not be paralyzed on the ground for half an hour after being hit head-on!
"Be careful, it's possible to encounter any kind of monster here. Just treat them as the underground monsters under the Dragon Mouth Mine. If anyone is careless, it's likely to enjoy a free and fresh belly tour of the underground monsters!" Lin Dong told Fang Yizhi and the others to pay attention to safety and not to be careless, pointing out that the monsters here were similar in strength to the monsters under Dong Mountain.
"Yes." Fang Yizhi and the others were nervous and excited.
They were nervous because the completely unfamiliar environment was very stressful, and excited because they could finally show their skills and carry out a special hellish training.
Griffon and the others returned from Purgatory, their combat strength and mental state were improved at the same time. They were completely different from before. The harsh environment brought about rapid progress. Fang Yizhi and the others had been envious for a long time. Now, it was finally their turn. How could they not be happy?
Yun Jiyu had a good impression of this group of special forces members who could be regarded as nominal disciples. After all, every one of them had been under her guidance.
She reminded Fang Yizhi and the other captains, "If you encounter a powerful monster that you really can't defeat, you can retreat to my side! No matter what, I was your temporary instructor. If you encounter an enemy that you can't defeat and turn to me for guidance, it's very normal. It's not shameful! On the contrary, if you force yourself to sacrifice the lives of your subordinates, I'll think that you're incompetent and not qualified special forces members! "
Fang Yizhi and the others were almost moved to tears.
They gritted their teeth and shook their heads.
This senior sister, although she was called a senior sister, was actually their master.
They couldn't help but be grateful that their master cared for them so much. Of course, they knew that they were iron-blooded warriors who had to go through training. Unless they encountered a desperate situation where the team was in danger of being destroyed, no one dared to ask for her help!
As a master, caring for the disciples was a good intention. However, the disciples should not be weak in return, but constantly strive to improve themselves and make the master nod in satisfaction!
"Let's go. They'll show a good performance to prove themselves!" Lin Dong felt that under his secret care, if Fang Yizhi and the others still couldn't pass, then they wouldn't need to participate in the hell training anymore. It would be better for them to go home and hug their children!
Set off.
They walked for 50 kilometers.
The endless tunnel seemed to go straight to the center of the earth.
The tunnel became bigger and bigger. At first, it was only enough for a dozen people to walk side by side. Later, it expanded to accommodate a hundred people.
After crossing an underground river, all kinds of craggy monsters finally appeared in front of them. The tunnel disappeared completely without them noticing. Gradually, what appeared in front of the special forces was a pitch-black world that was as dark as ink.
The sky here was black. The ground here was black.
The stones here were black.
Even the water here, the fish in the water, and the strange plants growing by the water were all black.
The special strong torchlight could not illuminate a distance of 30 meters in this godforsaken place before it became dim and blurry. The infrared scanners that Fang Yizhi and the others were wearing were completely useless. There was no sign of heat in this godforsaken place. Fang Yizhi really didn't know what to say. They had painstakingly carried a lot of high-tech equipment to support the special forces, but only a few of them could be put to use.
"Captain!" One of the special forces members under Li Qing found something. He pointed to a rock in front of them on the left. "There's something there!"
"Oh my god!" Li Qing and the others followed the strong light of the torchlight to take a closer look.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of this creature.
Alien!
There was an Alien in this godforsaken place!
Of course, it might not be the Alien in the movies, but a monster that looked very similar!
Its ferocious and terrifying appearance caused the special forces members to shudder. Needless to say, this monster that looked like an Alien was definitely a carnivore!
"There's more over there, and there's more than one!" Next, the special forces members who were on guard in other directions reported that there were Alien monsters of different sizes appearing in different directions. A hunting game between the local natives and foreign invaders was about to begin …
