"So, if this is only a burial pit, then how big would the entire tomb be? For a person with such an ability, would he simply dig a hole and bury himself along with the people who died with him? "
"No."
Baisu also understood what she meant. The owner of such a huge underground project must be very prominent, otherwise, he would not have the ability to dig it.
"Since it is the remains of the Immortal City, I think this should be a huge, abandoned underground city. And the place where we are now is probably a wide square or something like that. "
There were not many records about the Immortal City in those ancient books.
The only thing was that it used to belong to the Witch Empress and was extremely prosperous.
"Now that you mention it, I think so too. But Master, we have been walking in the dark for so long, how long do we have to go out? "
Darkness always brought depression and despair to people.
Fortunately, there were two of them, otherwise this place would be no less than a hell.
"I don't know, but the air here is still very fresh, which means that there are facilities to keep the air above the ground, and they are still working now. The ground is also very dry, so they must have used some means when they were building this place. If I'm not mistaken, this place should have been an extremely important place when it was still in use. As for the entrance to the palace, it should be the underground entrance that they really used. Could it be that the Xin family has been here for so long? "
The only thing she could be sure of now was that the fake hometown that Aunt Yue mentioned should not be here.
After thinking for a while, she felt that it was somewhat unlikely.
If the Xin family really came here, wouldn't they have emptied everything here?
She unconsciously looked at the direction of the only movement of the corpse puppet. Since no one had come here, why would they still —
"I probably know where their destination is."
"Huh? How do you know? "
Baisu was obviously a little surprised.
"If I am right, Xin Li and his men don't need to come here at all."
She stopped, secretly glad that she found out in time.
"Master, did they set us up?"
Lin Mengya said with a wry smile.
"No, they were not set up, but they thought they were smart. It's true that they found the entrance to the Immortal City, but everyone else is here to snatch things. Only they are here to deliver things. "
Lin Mengya's words alerted Baisu.
Now, in such a huge underground city, only the two of them depended on each other for survival. Clearly, it was as dangerous as it could be.
"Alright, let's take out the illumination stones. Although it's a little conspicuous, I'm afraid that there are no other living beings here apart from us. "
Hearing this, Baisu felt a little uncomfortable.
However, he still obediently took out the Illumination Stone from his bosom.
The gentle light was a little dazzling because it had been in darkness for a long time.
Lin Mengya felt that her eyes were sore. She squeezed out a few tears and gradually adapted to the green light.
"Oh my god, why are there skeletons everywhere!"
Baisu looked around with the Illumination Stone and couldn't help but exclaim.
Lin Mengya did the same. She squatted down slightly and carefully examined each skeleton under the light.
She found that all the skeletons were heading in the same direction.
And that direction was faintly the same as the direction the Corpse Puppet was heading in.
"Let's go and have a look first. If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, we can't avoid it."
Baisu nodded, and the two of them continued to walk forward.
After walking for a whole day, Lin Mengya felt that she was seriously exhausted. Even Baisu, who was a martial artist, felt the same.
"Master, isn't this square too big?"
The two of them found a relatively clean place and sat down to rest and recover their strength.
"Yes, it's a little big, but I always feel that something is missing."
Baisu also had the same doubt. After looking at each other, they said tacitly, "Stone statues!"
Yes, stone statues.
Generally, in every city in Lieyun, there would be a medium-sized square.
Except for the capital, there would be a stone statue in other squares.
Usually, the stone statues would not be a person. Most of the time, they were symbols of the city's totems.
However, there was no stone statue in this square. If they didn't see it because they had walked too far, then this square was too big.
Lin Mengya touched the ground and found that it was different from the place where she had fallen. It was not as cold as it was before.
It seemed that the place where they had fallen was not the square.
Lin Mengya muttered in her heart, "What on earth is this place?"
"Master, look, there seems to be light in front!"
Baisu sounded a little excited, but she was more on guard.
Lin Mengya was the same. She stood up and looked into the distance.
Different from the green light emitted by their illumination stones, the light there was a warm orange-red.
"Put away the stone, it might not be Long Tianhao!"
Long Tianhao had the same stone with him. Of course, they could not rule out the possibility that he had deliberately made the light to attract them.
But before they were sure, they could not relax.
Baisu reacted quickly. After putting away the stone, they did not rush over immediately.
Instead, they sat there and continued to rest until their strength was almost recovered. Then they got up and continued to walk.
In this way, even if the other party found them, it would be difficult to estimate their speed.
As they got closer to the fire, Lin Mengya heard suppressed crying in front of them.
She could not help feeling a little disappointed. It seemed that it was not Long Tianhao.
"Chief, we … we really can't get out?"
Chief? Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly pulled Baisu.
There should be no other person who could be called this way, except for that person, right?
"Xiaofang, we will get out, believe me. And don't call me Chief anymore. The spirit bear is gone. "
That familiar voice made Lin Mengya's heart rise with faint joy.
But she did not rush forward to acknowledge him. There was only a torch, but she heard several voices.
Moreover, if they rushed out now, they might be mistaken as enemies. That would be terrible.
"Boohoo, Patriarch, no, Big Brother Xiong Lin, if only we listened to you. It's all my fault. If I hadn't shouted to avenge my brother, you wouldn't have been implicated by me. "
The boy named Xiaofang continued to cry. Lin Mengya rolled her eyes in the dark.
She knew that Xiong Lin and the others would be killed. After all, it was because of the naughty boy.
"Alright, Xiaofang, don't blame yourself. This is my responsibility, but no matter what, I will get you out of here. "
Xiong Lin said with self-blame. As a man with a heavy sense of responsibility, he would naturally think so.
Baisu squeezed Lin Mengya's hand, as if asking if she should go forward to acknowledge him.
But Lin Mengya only took half a step forward, and before her feet touched the ground, she stepped back again.
Her body was a little stiff, and Baisu, who had been leaning on her, felt it.
It was a very instinctive reaction when faced with danger.
Baisu immediately realized that her master must have found something.
The firelight in front of them went farther and farther along with the sound of their conversation. Obviously, they were also sitting here to rest for a while.
Lin Mengya and Baisu stood there motionlessly until the firelight went far away, so far that they could not hear their conversation. Then Lin Mengya took a deep breath.
"No way, he actually came down?"
"Master, who are you talking about?"
Baisu was confused. Both of them were sure that the person in front of them was Xiong Lin, but judging from her master's behavior, it was obvious that he was an enemy.
"Xin Li, I felt Xin Li's presence in that group of people. However, his aura was very unstable, and even I was only able to catch it by chance. Strange, is the system malfunctioning? "
Lin Mengya patted her head gently. Because she had met Xin Li before, the Shen Nung system would automatically remember the information of the poison in this person.
In the past, Xin Li was a moving poison warehouse in the system.
But just now, the Shen Nung system suddenly caught a few poisons similar to the ones in Xin Li's body.
That was why she stopped in her tracks. Because the poisons in Xin Li's body were all rare things.
How could they appear in Xiong Lin's group?
"Master, do you smell something?"
Lin Mengya tried hard to sniff, but her nose was damaged by the smell, so she still could not smell anything.
"It's the smell of blood. It's not far away."
Because they suspected that Xin Li was in front, neither of them dared to use the lighting stone.
Fortunately, Baisu's sense of smell was still sensitive. After searching around for a few minutes, they found the source of the blood smell.
"He's dead."
Baisu squatted down and felt for the position of the corpse's neck, only to find that the neck had been twisted off.
Lin Mengya squatted down next to Baisu and touched the corpse's face along her hand. However, she felt sticky blood.
"The face is also destroyed. They did a thorough job."
She didn't hate blood, but she wasn't used to feeling around in the dark.
There were traces of a sharp weapon on the skin of the face, and even the bones of the face were broken.
Perhaps even this person's biological mother could not recognize him now.
"Who on earth is this person?"
Baisu's tone was a little nervous. After all, they did not know the identity of the murderer, nor did they know why he did it.
Lin Mengya wiped the blood on her hand with the corpse's clothes and stood up.
