After saying that, I continued walking forward.
As I walked, there was a sudden creak under my feet, as if I had stepped on something crunchy.
I looked down and saw that it was a skeleton!
This skeleton had been dead for an unknown period of time. Its limbs were scattered, and half of its body had already been submerged in the ground.
What I just stepped on was the skull's head.
At this time, there were creaking sounds under the feet of Lonnie and others, and everyone quickly stopped.
I lit a fire to illuminate the cave, and then I realized that the entire cave floor was densely packed and completely covered with bones!
hiss-
After seeing this scene, I couldn't help but gasp, and I was extremely shocked.
Judging from the skulls exposed on the ground, it is estimated that the number of these skeletons is at least several hundred!
And this is only what is exposed on the ground. There are still many skeletons piled underground. I don’t know how many there are.
Who are they, and why are they buried in this underground tomb?
Although I was extremely confused, I finally figured out what the giant bat did for a living.
With so many dead people, let alone one bat, it would be enough to feed dozens or even hundreds of them.
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized another problem.
If there was so much food, how could there be only one bat in this catacomb?
Maybe, there are really hundreds of giant bats here, and they are also hidden in other places!
A single bat is not difficult to deal with, but if hundreds of giant bats appear in groups, the scene will be terrifying just thinking about it!
"Everyone, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly!"
I couldn't help but shudder, and quickly turned around to remind everyone.
His feet stepped on the thick layer of white bones, and the sound of creaking was endless, echoing clearly in the cave.
But we can't worry about that much now. We just want to get through this area as soon as possible and find Xuancheng.
We don’t know how long we’ve been walking, but the layer of bones gradually became sparse, but a thick stone wall appeared in front of us, making it impossible to move forward.
Liao Xian'er said with a puzzled look on her face: "That shouldn't be the case. We haven't found anything yet. Is this the end of the underground tomb?"
Liao Xian'er is right, I also think that there must be something else going on in this underground tomb.
After all, before, Tenzin and his wife found so many silverware just on the surface of the earth, but there was nothing in this tomb, which was a little unreasonable.
What's more, let alone the silverware, we haven't seen the coffin of the tomb owner until now, which also makes me very puzzled.
From this point of view, there are only two possibilities, either, we are looking in the wrong place, and this cave is not the real entrance to the underground tomb.
Or, there must be another mechanism here. Only by finding the mechanism can we possibly find the whereabouts of the tomb owner.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a few steps forward and start groping on the rock formation at the end.
The rock formations seemed to be naturally formed, with uneven surfaces and no rules, but soon, I noticed something was wrong.
In an inconspicuous position in the middle of the rock formation, I found a crack. Inside the crack was a round hole. When I shined a fire stick into it, I could see some irregular jagged marks below the round hole.
It would make sense to say that this gap is formed naturally, but I feel that the round hole inside is more like a keyhole!
As long as you can find a matching key and match the tooth marks inside, you might be able to open this cave wall!
But where to find the key? I was in trouble again.
I was searching around for the place where the key might be found. Suddenly, I heard a hissing sound coming from behind me, followed by a fishy smell.
I turned around suddenly and saw swarms of giant bats, flapping their wings and rushing toward us with their fangs and claws bared!
These terrifying monsters are indeed chasing after them!
"Be careful!" I couldn't help shouting, warning my companions, and blasting out with a palm.
Boom!
A giant bat that rushed over first was blown off its head by a thunderbolt from me. It instantly fell to the ground. After a few hits, it became motionless.
However, killing one bat did not make the other bats flinch, but instead aroused their ferocity.
The bat swarm made a shrill scream, and the attack became more violent. For a while, we were blocked at the end of the narrow cave wall, making it difficult to move.
Liao Xian'er slapped her head behind her head and saw white light flashing. A flying sword shot out and began to harvest the lives of the giant bat.
Bai Ze, Lonnie, and Jing Jing also transformed into their original bodies and started a fierce fight with the bats.
Each of these giant bats has rough skin and thick flesh, sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and they all have strong regeneration capabilities. As long as they do not hit their heads with a single blow, they can recover from their injuries in a very short time.
If ordinary people encountered such a difficult opponent, they would probably have no chance of survival.
Fortunately, the few of us have gone through a lot of big battles. With the cooperation of several people, relying on the rock formations behind us and cooperating with each other, we finally gradually gained the upper hand.
boom!
As I smashed the last bat's head with one palm, we finally wiped out all the hundreds of giant bats.
The white bones on the ground were covered with bat corpses, bright red blood spread everywhere, and the whole cave was filled with an extremely fishy stench.
Although we were not injured, we were still very tired. We all squatted on the ground, breathing heavily.
If such a huge swarm of bats appears again, we are really not sure that we will be able to escape unscathed.
Only by hiding behind the rock formations as quickly as possible can we possibly avoid the bat attack.
Thinking of this, I didn't dare to rest anymore. I stood up immediately and continued to look for the possible key.
Soon, I noticed that above my head, there was a stalactite hanging down.
Unlike other nearly vertical stones, the edge of this stalactite has some fine tooth marks that appear to be naturally formed.
I couldn't help but feel something in my heart. I grabbed the tip of the stalactite and pushed hard, and I pulled the stalactite directly from the top of the cave.
Immediately, I widened the crack in the rock formation a bit and slowly inserted the sharp end of the stalactite.
Unexpectedly, the tooth marks of the stalactite and the grooves on the round hole fit perfectly and were closely combined.
I grabbed the other end of the stalactite and applied a little force. As expected, the round hole began to rotate with the stalactite.
Soon, with a click, the rock formation slowly separated to both sides, revealing a brand new world.
This cave wall is indeed a door, and the real tomb is inside!
"Everyone, let's go!"
Looking at Liao Xianer and others who looked surprised, I smiled and walked in with the stalactite.
