Mutated Tao Chapter 231: Ding
In the cave that meanders down, everyone is silent. They have been walking for a while, and they haven't reached the bottom yet. Maybe this place has no bottom at all. Maybe.
Fortunately, as we went down, the hole was getting bigger and bigger, and it was no longer as depressing as it was when we first came in.
"Wait, stop." It was Li Huowang who said this, and he knelt on one knee keenly, looking at the footprints on the ground with a slight frown.
"This is not the footprint of a child, but the footprint of a normal adult. It seems that other than Sun Baolu when he was a child, someone else has been in this cave."
"It's nothing, let's go." Li Huowang stood in and continued to drill down the hole. In fact, compared to Xie Chong, he is more taboo to meet people.
If someone can freely enter and exit a cave full of evil spirits, it means that his strength is absolutely outstanding.
The cave turned a corner, but Sun Baolu stopped at the corner. He swallowed nervously and said: "After turning this corner, one of my playmates suddenly disappeared. "
Sun Baolu's fear began to infect everyone's heart, and everyone cheered up at this moment.
Li Huowang put his hands on Sun Baolu's shoulders, pulled back hard, and took the lead through the bend in front.
He stood there holding the hilt of his sword, looking around at everything outside. But Li Huowang, who was already prepared, did not receive any attack.
"Are you sure it's here? There is nothing else on the ground except two dead sheep."
"Dead sheep?" Sun Baolu and others came behind Li Huowang cautiously, held up the fluorite in their hands, and looked inside.
Ahead of the darkness, there are really only two dead sheep, nothing else.
Looking at their shriveled faces and dusty but still intact bodies, they should be lost in this cave and trapped to death.
With a sound of "click", the two dry sheep corpses on the ground were instantly torn in half by Li Huowang's sword, and the dry internal organs, which were black like coal balls, rolled out.
Li Huowang didn't give up, and stepped on it directly.
He didn't intend to leave these two mummified corpses behind him, it would be too dangerous, if they suddenly got up and attacked him, it would be dangerous.
Although this is too cautious, Li Huowang feels that in this environment, he can't be too cautious.
After completely crushing the bones of the two sheep, Li Huowang put the long sword in its sheath and continued to walk inside.
The whole cave got deeper and deeper and more empty, but Li Huowang couldn't see anything in the dark distance.
The darkness here is darker than other places, and the fluorescent lights in their hands can only illuminate the surrounding area in front of them, even with Li Huowang's vision, they can only go farther away at most.
Not long after they left, there was another sheep carcass on the ground. This time, Li Huowang couldn't cut it down, because there were too many on the ground, densely packed with eight hundred if not one thousand.
"One or two may be said to be lost, but so many are man-made. This is to drive a group of sheep here to die. Who did it?" Li Huowang looked at these sheep and thought with.
And the carcasses of these sheep are very complete, without any signs of biting or devouring.
From this point, it can be judged that Hei Taisui should not be nearby, otherwise Hei Taisui, who eats meat, would not be able to easily let go of these foods.
Li Huowang pondered for a while again, took out the dead skin of Hei Taisui from his bosom, and put it in front of the steamed bun again.
"Steamed buns, sniff, go and see where there is this smell nearby."
"Woo~" After licking the steamed bun, he raised his foot and walked forward with some hesitation.
As Li Huowang waved his hand, others quickly followed. "Follow closely, don't fall behind in this place."
"There is a small short circuit in front of me. It's okay. After walking for half a stick of incense, I will reach the place where I encountered the brush. That is the last place I arrived." Sun Baolu, who was very nervous, continued to remind.
The dead sheep on the ground still did not disappear, spreading densely towards the inside.
Finally, after two cups of tea, it was no longer a sheep, and something new appeared in front of it. It was a huge bronze tripod, which seemed to be as tall as a floor.
The huge bronze tripod is covered with green rust and dust, it seems that this thing has existed for a long time.
"I didn't have this thing when I came here." Sun Baolu's words made Li Huowang frowned.
He first looked at the tripod, and then turned his head to look at the densely packed dead sheep behind him, always feeling that they were connected together. As far as he knew, something like a tripod should be an important ritual vessel for offering sacrifices to gods.
Li Huowang slowly turned around the huge tripod, and when he saw the white jade plates behind the tripod, and the three animals that were rotten to the bone, Li Huowang found that he was right. Someone really sacrificed in this place.
"Didn't it mean that this place is all evil spirits? Why is there such a solemn worship ceremony? Could it be that these evil spirits did it? If it is true, then what are they worshiping?"
Li Huowang cautiously approached the huge cauldron and looked into it. There was nothing inside but some ashes.
"Ah!!" A woman's scream made Li Huowang's scalp tingle instantly. He quickly turned his head to look, and saw the panicked Bai Lingmiao tightly hugging the red hijab Ershen.
"What's wrong! What did you see?" Li Huowang rushed over and asked hastily.
"Sheep! Sheep!" Bai Lingmiao tremblingly pointed to the darkness on the left. The two gods hugged him even tighter.
As Li Huowang walked over there vigilantly, the fluorescent stone in his hand illuminated something in the dark. Some sheep carcasses.
But the sheep corpses here are completely different from the previous sheep corpses. The mummies here are all half-human, half-goat deformities!
An old man fell at Li Huowang's feet, with spiral horns protruding from his cheek. Before he died, he desperately tried to touch his face with those two hooves, but in the end he died at the last moment of struggling.
Beside him is another sheep corpse, or a human corpse. The upper body is a skinned lamb, but the lower body is a twisted deformity, with crooked hooves and twisted kneecaps. One forward and the other backward, stretching randomly like tree branches.
And this is just the beginning, as the fluorescent light shines past, corpses that are more disgusting and terrifying than this are everywhere, such a weird scene, it's no wonder that Bai Lingmiao was so frightened before.
As the light illuminates these half-human, half-goat, Li Huowang subconsciously thinks of those sheep corpses before.
"No! Those are not the corpses of sheep, those are people! They were converted into sheep by others, and they are all sacrifices for worship!"
Li Huowang quickly rushed to the tripod, staring wide-eyed, looking at the rows of sheep corpses in shock.
After realizing that these sheep are all human beings, the whole nature is completely different. Some people killed thousands of people here, and they actually did it to worship something!
