It was obviously dug by someone, but who would dig such a deep cave? Besides, there were so many strange pythons and poisonous insects here!
After walking for another hundred meters or so, the two sides of the cave began to change. Square doors appeared on both sides of the cave. Looking inside, there were actually many strange beast furs and armor, and even the remains of many half-human, half-beast corpses!
However, it was obvious that many years had passed. The broken wind had already died. Lin Feng suddenly thought of a possibility. Chi You had gone through untold hardships to come here. Could it be that this was the old nest of the Chi You Clan?
These corpses really matched the remains of the Chi You Clan. Just as Lin Feng was thinking, his expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly squatted down and looked at the marks on the ground!
There were very fresh claw marks on the stones on the ground, and it wasn't just one and a half. Almost every hole had them. It was obvious that a living creature had just walked through here! And they were all heading towards the depths of the cave!
This place was called the Thousand Souls Cave. Could the so-called souls refer to the souls of these beastmen? In that case, were they resurrected now?
"Lin Feng, what's wrong? What did you find?" Chang 'e also bent down and looked at the marks on the ground. After a while, she said in astonishment, "Is there an ambush by Chi You here?"
Before Lin Feng could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound coming from the front. It sounded like a huge rock was rolling. Lin Feng and the others' first guess was that there was a collapse in front of them. If that was really the case, then they were like mice in a bellows. They were stuck on both sides!
Although it was not impossible for them to escape with their cultivation, if the whole cave collapsed, it would be very bad!
As soon as the rumbling sound was heard, a strong airflow came from the opposite side of the cave, mixed with heavy water vapor!
"Oh no! Chi You and the others are trying to drown us! " Lin Feng was the first to come to his senses. Then, he heard the sound of waves crashing into the cave. This time, everyone panicked. The cave was square, no more than five feet high and no more than three feet wide. There was no place to hide!
Before they could accept this cruel reality, the flood was already rushing towards them. Lin Feng hurriedly released a barrier of Dao, directly protecting the cave in front and behind them!
Just as the barrier was completed, the water arrived. The huge force of the water pushed Lin Feng and the others dozens of meters away. Lin Feng hurriedly increased the strength of his Yuan Qi. Only then did he manage to block the water from reaching the other end!
"This Chiyou and the Fiendess Holy Buddha are too vicious! They lured us into this underground cave step by step, so it turns out that they wanted to drown us in the flood! "Old Lord Taishang said while gnashing his teeth.
Chang 'e's face paled as she said, "What should we do? We're already trapped here. If we can't think of a way out, won't we be trapped here forever?"
Ah! Look at what that is!
Chang 'e screamed before she finished speaking. Looking in the direction she was pointing, everyone felt a chill down their spines. Just outside the barrier, there were faces in the water. They kept hitting the barrier and were desperately trying to squeeze into the barrier!
"That's a bat monster!" Thunder God shouted loudly. As expected, it was a bat monster. At this time, they seemed to be drowning. They kept rolling in the water, screaming, and every time they opened their mouth, a string of bubbles would come out. It looked very terrifying!
"Damn, these pests deserve to drown!" Juling Shen cursed. He gathered his courage and walked to the front of the barrier. He even made a face at the bat monster outside!
These bat monsters drowned one after another and stopped struggling. Their deathly pale faces were twisted and deformed. Their expressions were unexpectedly similar to those of humans who were dying in despair. Thousands of dead faces were squeezed outside the barrier. It was like there were countless ghost faces stuck to your window. It was terrifying!
His eyes were fixedly staring at Lin Feng and the others, as if he was complaining that Lin Feng and the others hadn't helped him. He was cursing them, "You didn't help me, you deserve to be trapped here. You're going to hell with us!"
Suddenly, something was pushed against the barrier by the water. It looked like a piece of animal skin. It was tightly stuck to the armor. Lin Feng saw the picture on it and was startled. He quickly moved closer to take a look. As expected, it was a picture, and it was a map!
However, the map was half rolled to the back. It was not complete. Lin Feng said to Chang 'e and the others, "You guys step back a little. I'll take this map in. Water might leak in …"
Chang 'e said worriedly, "Ah, don't take it. Look at the dead bat monsters around the map. How disgusting!"
Old Lord Taishang said, "What can we do if we don't take it? This might be the map of the underground cave. Whether we can get out smoothly depends on it!"
Lin Feng had them retreat to the back. Then, he stretched his hand through the protective barrier to grab the map. Just as he was about to grab the map, a bat monster next to him suddenly opened its eyes and bit Lin Feng's hand!
This sudden change scared Lin Feng so much that he shivered. He subconsciously pulled back and directly pulled the map in. However, he didn't expect that the bat monster didn't bite Lin Feng's hand. Instead, it bit a corner of the map and was directly pulled in!
As soon as it entered the barrier, it immediately fell to the ground and kept flopping, as if it was a drowning person who had finally caught its breath!
Lin Feng raised his hand and was about to kill it, but suddenly, the bat monster opened its mouth and said, "Have mercy, don't kill me …"
Lin Feng unconsciously stopped. He looked at the dying bat monster and asked, "What do you want to say? After you say it, I'll send you on your way!"
The batwoman seemed to have regained her consciousness at this time. She said with a sad expression, "Thank you for giving me the last chance to speak. We have been sealed for countless years. Today, we finally get our souls back, and we can finally remember all our history. But … everything is going to end again …"
As it spoke, it actually shed tears. Its emotions were sincere. It didn't seem like it was pretending. Lin Feng couldn't bear to kill it again.
"You must listen to me. After I'm done, you can kill me or cut me up …"
Then it stood up and shook off the water on its body. "I don't know who you are. I beg you to save our people. Our people have been sealed for who knows how many years. All of them have become like this. They can never be reincarnated. It's really painful!"
At this time, Chang 'e came over and said, "Speak slowly. If we can do it, we will definitely help you …"
It turned out that this group of bat people were originally normal humans. During the war between Yan Huang and Chiyou, they were forced to escape into the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains. In order to avoid the pursuing troops, they escaped into this mountain stream. They thought that they could stay away from the war in the world. However, they didn't expect that Chiyou's beasts would soon be defeated by Yan Huang. They also escaped into this mountain stream. As a result, the two sides directly encountered each other. Naturally, these ordinary people were no match for the Chiyou beasts. Countless were killed and injured!
In the end, the remaining tribesmen were all taken as captives. They were forced to dig this underground cave for many years. No one knew how many years they had been digging. Batches and batches of people died, generation after generation. Finally, the cave was dug through. Originally, the Chi You Beast Clan's elders had promised them that as long as the cave was dug, they would all be released. However, after the cave was dug, the tribe leader revealed his true colors and overturned all the previous promises!
He actually turned all of them into this neither human nor ghost appearance and locked them all in this underground cave. They were cursed to not see the sun and could only struggle at death's door in this cave!
The strange thing was that after they became monsters, they actually obtained the path to immortality that humans could never hope to achieve in the past. They didn't die after so many years, and as time passed, these bat people slowly forgot their past history and their vengeful hearts. They actually recognized the orcs as the same kind of people!
Until today, when Lin Feng and the others broke into this underground cave, they didn't know how to break this restriction. Only then did these bat people who had been lost for a long time regain their remnant memories. They originally thought that their tribe had met their savior, but they didn't expect Chiyou to open the underground river and flood the entire underground cave!
Lin Feng felt uncomfortable when he heard this. He didn't expect these bat people to have such a tragic history!
"Then … What do you mean by asking us to save your tribe? Are there any of your tribe members still alive? " Lin Feng didn't understand. At the same time, he looked at the numerous dead bat people outside. Could it be that these bat people could still be resurrected? The bat person said, "Not all of my tribe members are dead.
The bat man said, "Not all of my people are dead. There is a higher area in the depths of the cave in front of us. The water shouldn't be able to reach there. Our people are gathered there. Save them, you must bring them out of this underground demon cave. Our people are not bad people. If it wasn't for the curse of the beastkin elder, we would have been farming for a living!"
Lin Feng didn't really believe what he said. Could it be that he was a spy sent by Chiyou to deliberately lure the enemy in?
