Mu Qingxiao's right hand caressed her smooth, snow-white cheeks. Lu XueQi's beautiful eyes watched his every move. She knew that this pervert was up to no good again, but her heart was filled with sweetness and enjoyment.
Although he liked beauties, he would not let them delay his business. He said, "My little beauty, once we leave the Ten Thousand Bat Cave, I'll eat you."
Hearing this, Lu XueQi's heart thumped. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shyness. She rolled her eyes at him flirtatiously and did not say anything else.
The reflections of the seven red stones slowly appeared. They looked like palms, floating quietly on the surface of the water. Mu Qingxiao aimed at them, reached out his right hand, and pressed down on the palms.
The pool was very shallow, and his right hand quickly touched the bottom of the pool. There was a thin layer of sand at the bottom of the pool. Soon, Mu Qingxiao felt that there were five slightly protruding places under his hand, which corresponded to the five fingertips of his fingers.
Mu Qingxiao knew that this was the mechanism to open the Dripping Blood Cave. He did not hesitate and pressed it down. In the next second, an ear-piercing and heavy creaking sound rang out in the cave.
The two of them looked at the source of the sound at the same time. They saw that behind the curtain of water, the once flawless and extremely hard stone wall had actually receded. Although it was moving slowly, it finally revealed a new entrance.
Lu XueQi came to the shore and stood beside Mu Qingxiao. Droplets of water slid down her cheeks. She was incomparably beautiful, and her beautiful eyes were filled with smiles and gentleness.
Mu Qingxiao held her slender hand and said, "Let's go in."
Lu XueQi nodded slightly and stepped into the water again. She passed through the curtain of water and followed him into the new cave.
This was a deep and serene tunnel. The fluorescent stones on the walls of the cave were clearly much fewer than the ones outside. The light was dim, but to Mu Qingxiao, it was as bright as day.
Both of them walked leisurely. Lu XueQi felt very safe while Mu Qingxiao used her Divine Sense to explore the way. After all, this was the first time someone had entered the Dripping Blood Cave in 800 years. The Black-Hearted Old Man was a Nascent Soul cultivator. No one knew if he had set up a powerful restriction formation in the cave.
After walking for a while, the road was quite peaceful and there were no accidents. However, this passage was quite winding, deep and long, and it went up slowly. Mu Qingxiao estimated that they were probably deep in the heart of the mountain.
The sound of footsteps disappeared. Mu Qingxiao stopped and said softly, "We're here."
They raised their heads and looked ahead. At the end of the tunnel, a bright light shone over. They could vaguely make out a large stone room. The two of them looked at each other and stepped forward.
As they approached, they could finally see the situation of the stone room clearly. The entire stone room was circular, and the tunnel was in the middle of the stone room. On the opposite side, there was another passage that extended inwards. It was not the only end.
On the left side of the stone room, there were two huge stone statues. One of them had a benevolent face and a smile. Her clothes were carved as if they were blown by the wind. She looked very lifelike, a little like the Guanyin Bodhisattva of Buddhism.
The other statue looked completely different. It was ferocious, with a black face and horns. It had eight arms and four heads. There was even a trace of blood at the corner of its mouth. It was a chilling sight.
In addition, there was a stone table in front of the two statues. There was an incense burner on the table and a few packets of incense and candles beside it. They were all covered in dust. Clearly, there had not been any incense in the past 800 years.
As for the other end of the stone room, there were only a few prayer mats that were thrown carelessly on the ground. There was nothing else.
Lu XueQi looked at the two statues and said, "Don't we need to worship them?"
A trace of disdain flashed through Mu Qingxiao's eyes. She said softly, "I don't even worship the Victorious Fighting Buddha. What right do they have for me to worship them?"
"The Victorious Fighting Buddha?"
"It's a monkey."
Lu XueQi smiled. He did not understand, so he followed her into the depths of the cave. Not long after, the two of them entered a spacious place.
However, this place was not renovated like the stone room outside. Instead, it was a cave with inverted stalactites and strange rocks. There were all kinds of strange stalactites in the cave, and their colors were also very different.
In front of the two of them, there was a huge stone tablet at the entrance of the cave. There were ten large words carved on it in flamboyant calligraphy: "Heaven and Earth are heartless, treating all things as straw dogs!"
These ten large words were almost half the size of a person. The strokes were simple and unsophisticated, and the strokes were bold and vigorous. They were like dragons and snakes, and they seemed to be rushing out and whistling through the heavens.
Mu Qingxiao's lips curled into a smile. Lu XueQi also noticed the smile on her face. He said gently, "Is this what you need?"
"That's right. Let's go elsewhere first and come back here later."
"Okay."
After leaping over the stone tablet, there was a smooth stone wall at the bottom of the cave. On both sides of the stone wall, there was a tunnel that led to an unknown place. However, under the stone wall, there was a bluestone platform. On top of it, there was a skeleton that was sitting there quietly.
Mu Qingxiao just glanced at it casually. It was covered with cobwebs and thick with dust. She said, "He must be the Black-Hearted Old Man. Let's go."
After that, Mu Qingxiao held Lu XueQi's hand and walked into the tunnel on the left. This tunnel was the same as the one outside, but it was much deeper and quieter. Looking into the distance, it was almost completely dark.
Mu Qingxiao was also secretly shocked. The tunnel seemed to be longer. He really could not understand how the people of the Demonic Cult's Blood Refining Hall opened up such a huge project. If he used the Soul Sword to open it up, it would take at least a few days and nights.
After walking for a while, the front gradually brightened. They saw that the end of the tunnel was emitting a gentle light. It was especially clear in the darkness, like a gentle tentacle, tempting the mortals of the world.
At the end, there was also a medium-sized stone room. On one side, there were many shelves, but on the other side, there was a pile of trash. Most of them were iron tools, such as swords, spears, and bows. They were all damaged beyond repair.
Mu Qingxiao just glanced at them and lost interest. These things were no different from scrap metal to him, not to mention that they were already damaged beyond repair.
After walking around, there were rust stains everywhere. Only the last shelf was empty, but it was relatively clean. Moreover, there was a small iron box on it. There was no label, so no one knew what was inside.
Mu Qingxiao held the iron box in his hand and casually glanced at it. He wrapped it with spirit energy and directly opened it. The moment the iron box was opened, there was a light "ka" sound, and a black gas suddenly came out.
Lu XueQi was shocked. Mu Qingxiao patted her shoulder, indicating that it was not a big deal. This black gas was probably the Ancient Corpse Poison. He could not help but look forward to what was inside the box.
Glancing at the Ancient Corpse Poison in the Yin Yang Spirit Shield, Mu Qingxiao dispersed it with a blow. Then, his gaze fell on the iron box.
