"Holy shit, why is it him!" Chen Tao looked at the man on the ground in surprise.
No wonder it looked familiar to me.
That body, that shape, and that chicken coop-like hair style.
This guy from Te Niang is actually Liang Shaokai!
"Uh..." Chen Tao rubbed his temples, "Why is this guy here too?"
"You mean him?" Ye Rong chuckled. The face that looked like Uncle Long made Chen Tao really uncomfortable.
"He insisted on coming here. Speaking of which, you have to thank him."
"I'm so grateful to him, it'll be fine if I don't slap him!" Chen Tao became angry when he thought of Liang Shaokai's cheap stuff.
At this time, Liang Shaokai was still unconscious. Chen Tao asked with some confusion, "Is this guy dead?"
"We were ambushed by Bloom and were captured by them. Before you came to rescue us, Liang Shaokai had escaped, but for some reason he was discovered again. When we saw him again, he had already Passed out."
"Why did he pretend to be me?" Chen Tao was a little confused.
"He dressed up like you to lure those people out, but I didn't expect that you would also come to Tatunaan." Ye Rong turned to look at Ye Ling'er, who blushed and lowered his head. He crossed his fingers and muttered.
"I'm also anxious, to save you..."
"Let's talk about your matter after we go back and see Granny Ji."
"Ah...I don't!" Ye Ling'er looked depressed, as if meeting this Granny Ji was a very scary thing.
"Strange, why hasn't Liang Shaokai woke up yet?" Chen Tao frowned and looked at Liang Shaokai on the ground. According to what Ye Rong and others said, this kid has been unconscious for a while, but there is no sign of waking up at all.
At this time, Liang Shaokai's face was a little pale, and his eyes were tightly closed. If his chest was not still heaving, Chen Tao would really think that he was dead.
Liang Shaokai's breathing was heavy, as if something was blocked in his throat, which sounded very uncomfortable.
Chen Tao noticed something strange about Liang Shaokai. This heavy breathing gave him a vague feeling of bad premonition.
He opened Liang Shaokai's mouth with his hand, and his expression changed.
"It is indeed this!"
At this time, there was a black mass in Liang Shaokai's mouth stuck in his throat, squirming from time to time with Liang Shaokai's breathing.
"How could this happen!" Ye Rong looked at what was in Liang Shaokai's mouth, and a disgusted expression appeared on his face.
"I didn't know either. When Haozi was unconscious before, he had something like this in his mouth."
"Holy shit, you're so damn good!" Haozi rubbed his neck and retched, with a weird expression on his face, "Is this what I had in my mouth before?"
The one in Liang Shaokai's mouth looked much smaller than the one in Haozi's mouth at that time. Human life was at stake. Although he was 180 times unwilling, Chen Tao still begged Ye Ling'er to help remove the big sticky one in his mouth. The worm was pulled out.
"This seems to be some kind of voodoo insect..." Ye Rong frowned tightly, "I have read in some ancient books at home that there once was a group of people who were good at making poisons and raising voodoos, called The Witch Clan, they know how to control insects and ants, and are best at raising some weird poisonous insects, snakes and beasts. It’s really strange, the Witch Clan has been exterminated for more than two thousand years, is there anyone who still knows this kind of witchcraft? "
"Ahem..."
Liang Shaokai, who had the black worm taken out, suddenly coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes.
His voice was very weak. Ye Rong handed him a kettle and said calmly: "How do you feel?"
Liang Shaokai didn't seem to be completely awake yet. He was stunned for a long time before saying, "Where am I?"
"Jiaer Cave." Chen Tao replied calmly.
"Oh...what!"
Liang Shaokai suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at Chen Tao next to him in disbelief, and subconsciously touched his face.
"Little... little brother?"
Then he looked around blankly, "What the hell...what's going on?"
"It was Chen Tao and the others who saved us." Ye Rong said.
"Ahem..." Liang Shaokai coughed a few times and stood up from the ground while shaking his body. Regardless of Chen Tao's expression, he hooked his neck.
"Little brother! My dear little brother! I know that you are still thinking of me in your heart. If you find anything good when you go in later, I will reward you with one!"
Looking at Liang Shaokai's big, mean face, his smile was even uglier than that of a monkey.
"Go away, who is your little brother!" Chen Tao slapped Liang Shaokai's arm away angrily.
"What happened after you escaped?" Ye Rong asked with a frown.
This is also the issue that Chen Tao and the others are most concerned about.
Liang Shaokai lowered his head and glanced at the armyworm, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, as if he recalled something extremely terrifying. He looked a little horrified, covering his head and trying to recall the situation, but he couldn't remember anything.
"I don't remember." Liang Shaokai shook his head in confusion, "I didn't escape very far at that time, and I fainted without a trace. I don't know anything about what happened after that."
"Don't you remember either?" Haozi looked at Liang Shaokai solemnly. He had eaten this kind of bug inexplicably before, but when he tried hard to recall all this, he found that his mind was blank. .
"I seem to have seen a woman..." Liang Shaokai rubbed his head and said, "A woman with big breasts..."
After a little rectification, Balohad led everyone into the low Rat Temple, which was almost four meters high. In the middle was a huge statue with a rat head and human body, which was the legendary Rat God Dogkarna. .
There are many stone sculptures of rats standing around the Dokarna stone statue, and the top of the temple is also covered with various images of rats. There are still many stone carvings and murals remaining on the surrounding stone walls, recording the scenes of the rat god Dogkarna leading a group of rats to help the Tatunaan people fight, and the scene of King Tatunaan leading the courtiers to worship.
Chen Tao looked at everything around him and seemed to still be able to feel the glory at that time.
But the strange thing is that from the beginning to now, he has followed Balohard through several halls, but he has not seen even a mouse.
"Is there any Holy Rat alive here?" Chen Tao asked.
Balohad shook his head, "Since Tatunaan was buried in the desert, the Holy Rats have also disappeared, leaving only the dilapidated Gar Cave temple complex."
Everyone said nothing and followed Balohad through the main hall. Behind it was a relatively open sand dune. In the middle was a large altar with a statue of the Holy Rat carved from a single boulder. .
This statue of a holy rat stands upright on its legs, with its slender tail coiled under its feet. It is as big as a van.
Its carving is very delicate, and even the hair lines on its body are clearly visible. On the head of the Holy Rat, a clear strand of long hair extends all the way to its back.
"This is the true form of Rat God Dogkarna."
Balohad walked up to the altar and bowed respectfully to the stone statue. Then he walked under the statue of the holy rat and searched carefully around the stone statue. Finally, he stopped under the lower abdomen of the statue of the holy rat. .
Clang!
Balohad pulled out the long knife from his waist, inserted the blade into a gap in a stone slab under the statue of the Rat God, and began to pry hard.
Seeing this, Suoke and others on the side also drew their long knives and went to help.
Click click click......
The stone slab was slowly lifted up, and a gust of cold wind blew through, revealing the dark hole below.
"This is it!" Balohad said to everyone.
Sok handed over a torch, and Balohad took it, explored the entrance of the cave, and then threw the torch directly in.
Chen Tao poked his head and looked inside. The torch fell straight down the black hole, and finally stuck to the ground and burned.
This secret passage is not deep. It is about three or four meters high from the ground. The entrance is very narrow and only one person can pass through.
Through the dancing firelight, you can see that there is a lot of sand accumulated underneath. It is pitch black inside and there is no end in sight.
"Everyone, be careful." Balohad told everyone. He jumped down first, followed by Thok, Barr and others.
"Let's go, let's go down too!" Chen Tao nodded towards Haozi and jumped down too.
The secret passage is so short that people can barely stand and walk in it.
The group of people walked in the low secret passage, with hard stone slabs under their feet. Due to the passage of time, sand had accumulated on the stone slabs, making their feet rustle when they stepped on them. Occasionally, they could see some broken bones and shriveled rat corpses. .
According to the location, the temple is only a few hundred meters away from the Gal Cave. This secret passage connects the inside and outside of the city. Chen Tao estimated that it should be a secret escape passage left by the royal family for themselves just in case. .
Judging from the traces around it, some battles seemed to have taken place here. There were some scattered bones and rusty weapons in the secret passage, which should have been from thousands of years ago. When Chen Tao's foot touched, those bones shattered into pieces. Scumbag.
"It seems like something happened here..."
Chen Tao looked at the rats. It was true as Barrohad said. Although the corpses had been dried, it could still be seen that the size of this thing was several times larger than the common rats. Thinking about it, he was Is it possible that there really is some reason between the soul-catching rats encountered at the Man-eating Valley?
"Commander Barlow, why do we have to wait for Bruno and the others to dig out the body of the great wizard? Wouldn't it be better to stop them directly?" Chen Tao really didn't understand Barlow's plan.
"The main reason why the great wizard's soul is trapped in Tatunaan is that his body was cursed by the wizard group. You don't know the horror of the great wizard. No one can kill him, so you put his body with The soul was divided. If we want to kill the great wizard, we must first turn him back into an ordinary person. Thirty years ago, Bruno released the soul of the great wizard, but his body was not found. Therefore, although the demon He was awakened, but still unable to leave the temple. It was also because of this that my father and your grandfather failed to kill the great wizard and could only seal his soul again. "
"According to what you say, don't you have to wait eagerly for them to resurrect the great wizard?"
"If you want to kill him completely, this is the only way." Balohad looked solemn, "We have been a group of people carrying a curse for three thousand years, and it is time for this to end."
"Are you sure you can kill him?" Chen Tao asked.
"No." Balohard replied decisively.
"What?" Chen Tao stopped and stared blankly at Balohard in front of him.
Are you kidding me?
Chen Tao suddenly stopped, and Hao Zi behind him bumped into Chen Tao, and the torch in his hand almost lit the back of Chen Tao's head.
He cursed and said, "Damn it, Taozi, you damn girl, don't stop, there are a lot of people behind you! Do you want to try what it feels like to roast chrysanthemums with a torch?"
"Hey, I know this. Talking about my little brother's anus is really..." Liang Shaokai interrupted the topic with a mean look, and finally shut his mouth honestly under Chen Tao's murderous eyes.
Seeing Liang Shaokai's wretched face, although Chen Tao felt upset, he was still a little surprised.
When it comes to Haozi's physique, Chen Tao knows it. Even though he is not tall, his physical fitness is definitely much better than that of ordinary people.
It took Haozi a long time to recover after taking out the bug, but Liang Shaokai had recovered 50% to 60% in just a short while, almost like a normal person, which was beyond Chen Tao's expectation.
But now, Chen Tao has no time to think about this problem.
"Wait a minute!" Chen Tao grabbed Balohard, "If you can't kill the great wizard, doesn't it mean that you are asking everyone to die?"
"The envoy from the East once left a message that the descendants of the Soul Burial Guard with ancient power can end all this. But after so many years, we haven't even figured out what the Soul Burial Guard is, let alone its descendants. ! Until..." Balohad looked back at Chen Tao, "Until we met your grandfather."
"My grandfather?" Chen Tao was stunned. Does his grandfather have anything to do with the Soul Burial Guard?
"That time, he gave us hope of killing the great wizard." Balohard looked at Chen Tao with a look full of hope, "Although he failed to completely kill the devil, we all saw it. Your grandfather’s attack caused damage to him!”
"The descendant of the Soul Burial Guard who possesses ancient power..." Chen Tao was stunned, and an electric current seemed to pass through his mind.
The great wizard who cannot be harmed by ordinary people, the prophecy of Qianshu Hongde, grandpa...
Could it be!
Chen Tao looked at Balohard in disbelief.
Grandpa is a descendant of the Soul Burial Guard?
So, is that great wizard a spirit?
A spirit living in the real world, a spirit that can be seen by everyone!
How is this possible!
"You are a descendant of Senior Chen You, and we believe that you can do it too!" Balohard asked Chen Tao solemnly: "Please help us end this!"
Chen Tao was a little at a loss. How did he know how to kill the great wizard? Even if he really had some relationship with the legendary Soul Burial Guard, Chen Tao had never heard these things from his family before?
The gazes of Balohard and others made Chen Tao feel a little panicked. This was not a trivial matter. Balohard was putting everyone's lives on his own head.
But how does Chen Tao know how to deal with that great wizard?
"No, to tell you the truth, I really don't know how to deal with that great wizard, and I don't know if our family has such awesome skills. Anyway, no one has ever told me about these things. If I really agree You, that is no different than leading everyone to die."
"Alas..." Balohard sighed, "Brother Chen Tao, you only need to promise me one thing. If we fail, take my mask out and hand it over to Bawu Town. The owner of Tatu Hotel.”
"Lord Barlow, things have reached this point. No matter what, I will do my best, not only for you, but also for me. I still have many puzzles to solve, so I must not die here! "Chen Tao's eyes became determined. Even if he didn't know how to deal with the great wizard, he would continue on.
It is better to die in pursuit of the truth than to live with a mystery for the rest of your life.
The group of people stepped up and walked quickly through the secret passage. Chen Tao calculated that they should have passed through the Gal Cave and arrived under the wall of Tatunaan King City.
There is still darkness ahead, and from time to time you can feel a gust of wind blowing from the front, which is timid and cold, making people shiver all over. It was as if the wind was blowing up from the eighteenth level of hell.
Chen Tao followed Balohard with a torch. He raised his head and looked at the end of the secret passage. Suddenly his expression changed and he lowered his voice.
"Be careful, there's someone in front of you!"
