The next morning, the morning light was still dim.
They woke up early and packed everything they needed. When they walked downstairs with their bags on their backs, Lao Lu had already prepared the noodle soup and served it to them.
Yue Guanchao looked at the guest table, where four bowls of beef noodles were neatly placed. The soup was like amber, the noodles were as white as silk, and the braised beef was piled out of the mouth of the bowl.
He laughed and said, "Lao Lu, I haven't seen you all night. Have you made a fortune? You are so willing to spend money."
Lao Lu took off his apron and gave him a meaningful look: "It's not about getting rich, it's about being kind. People who leave the inn rarely come back, so I should practice it for you."
Yue Guanchao patted his chest and said, "Hey, from what you said, it seems like our last meal. I, Yue Guanchao, am different from others. When I get out of Witch Coffin Town, I will come back to have a drink with you."
"Let's wait until you come out!"
"Then we are not being modest. We are just trying to fill our stomachs."
A few people ate happily, finished slurping the noodles, wiped the oil on their mouths and said goodbye to Lao Lu.
After everyone left, Lao Lu whistled and wiped the wine jar: "You are still young after all, what a pity!"
…
Yehe Town, River Beach, Taniguchi
With Wu Tuman, the living king of hell, Yue Guanchao did not dare to waste time. Malier brought Lu Fengjian, Song Siyuan, and Aying to the river beach, followed the route on the Azabu map, and walked smoothly to the base of the Juma Wall.
As the saying goes, the distance is small and the distance is large. When everyone looked at the wall in front of them, they realized how terrifying it was!
The walls are all made of century-old wood. You can only see the top of the Juma Wall by looking up. They are tightly rammed together using a mortise and tenon structure. The surface looks like a rake and is densely covered with arrows!
When I got closer and smelled it, there was a vague smell of herbs, probably poison.
"How can we climb over such a high wall?"
Yue Guanchao tried to pick off the arrowhead, but Ah Ying knocked his hand off.
"This wall is filled with deadly poison, don't touch it. I know there is a secret passage, and I will take you there."
Ah Ying motioned for them to follow and carefully led the way.
They walked to the east wall of Juma Wall, and the exposed mountain gradually recovered vegetation and became lush and lush.
A Ying groped for it among the weeds and vines, and then her eyes lit up: "Here, we can enter the river valley from here."
Yue Guanchao walked into the weed vine and observed carefully. There was indeed a cave that was wide for one person. After they entered the cave entrance, they quickly restored the weed vine to its original state.
Black, still black!
As weeds and vines covered the cave entrance, everyone sank into darkness, and their heavy breathing gradually became clearer in the dark environment.
Snap!
Yue Guanchao turned on the flashlight, and the cold light instantly completely illuminated the dark cave.
The grotto has various flat cross-sections, which are obviously traces of artificial excavation. The gouge marks extend along the cave wall into the front. Occasionally, you can see mountain springs flowing along the cracks, spreading out a few pieces of moss, and then there are thick beams. , they are interspersed and riveted with each other, forming a "ten" shape to support the dome of the grotto. Many small chains hang down from the wooden beams, and the bottom is decorated with eerie cow skulls.
Yue Guanchao walked under the cow skulls and looked up carefully. Each cow skull was larger than a human head. The two horns were extremely sharp. The snow-white skeleton was covered with mysterious symbols. You could also see dried black blood stains on the cow's forehead. , looks like some kind of sacrificial vessel.
When they saw this thing in the eerie cave, their backs felt cold and even their breaths became softer!
Aying noticed the fear in their eyes and comforted:
"This cave was dug by me, Aweng, and the village heroes. The horse-proof wall not only prevents outsiders from entering, but also seems to prevent the things inside from getting out. These cow skulls are unique sacrificial vessels for the hunters of Xing'an Mountains, and I don't I know why it hangs here, it’s probably just a custom.”
"Let's leave quickly. It will be troublesome if I, Awen, catch up."
They sped up their footwork, and Lu Fengjian didn't pay attention to his feet. There was a click, as if something was crushed under his feet.
He looked down and saw that it was a beast that had been corroded and had only the remaining bones.
Everyone wanted to continue on their way, but there was a short creak in the cave, and strange movements came from all directions.
Could it be that the sound of breaking bones just now attracted some monster?
Yue Guanchao opened his backpack and distributed the long shotgun to the three of them.
In less than a moment, the cow skull hanging on the chain began to tremble up and down.
Then, the green eyes kept lighting up, flickering in the dark and deep cave. Thousands of cow skulls were like black cats with their eyes open.
This scene made everyone hold their spears tightly.
"What did we mess with!"
Yue Guanchao kept looking at the cow skull with a flashlight. The eye sockets of the skull were dark, and only the bright light was flickering.
"Squeak...squeak!"
The things inside the cow's skull seemed not to be sensitive to light sources. No matter how much Yue Guanchao shone on it, there was no movement. Could it be that he was only sensitive to noise?
Yue Guanchao is not sure about this guess!
He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the stone wall. Sure enough, the ghostly light jumped out of his skull and rushed towards the stone in an arc.
Yue Guanchao took the opportunity to turn on his flashlight. It seemed to be a kind of cave bat, with different sizes. The largest one was about the same size as a pigeon. Its brown-black fleshy wings fluttered in the air. Its plush ears kept catching the slightest movement in the cave. Its dark claws were firm. Grab the cow bone and dig your body into the bone shell!
