After passing through the secret passage, Zhang Yicheng actually heard a faint sound of running water. "Is there a spring here?" After turning two corners and going down a few steps, a larger secret room gave Zhang Yicheng goose bumps all over his body. This secret room is twice as large as the previous one. The traces of artificial repairs on the four walls are obviously much less than before. The potholes on the ground are also naturally larger than those of human soil. There is a spring in the center of the secret room. The spring water flows through an artificial waterway to a small cave more than half a meter high. A ray of sunlight shines into the secret room through the cave. Although it is not strong, the lighting effect is much better than a flashlight. With the help of the sunlight, it is not difficult to find that next to the waterway, there seems to be a person lying in the dark… a feeling of sudden enlightenment. The waterway in the cave, the people beside the waterway, isn't this the scene that the immortal dreamed of not long ago?
"Dad! Is that you?" Zhang Yicheng took two steps at a time and rushed to the waterway. He almost vomited after a closer look. The person lying on the ground was a human, but a dead person. Judging from his clothes, he was definitely not a modern person, but he didn't look like a Qing Dynasty person either. Not only did he look miserable, but his death was also bizarre. The dead man had a hideous expression and a dagger stuck in his mouth. Judging from the strength of the dagger, it seemed to have pierced the dead man's neck and nailed him directly to the ground.
Standing next to the corpse, Zhang Yichen carefully took out the compass, but found that the reaction of the compass needle was completely different from when he was just put down by Boss Dong. When he just went down the tunnel, the reaction of the compass was relatively normal, but at this time the plate was like a seismograph, and the frequency of the needle shaking was almost catching up with the electrocardiograph in the hospital.
"Could it be… this is the so-called Yin and Yang in the mountains?" Seeing that the compass was not responding normally, Zhang Yicheng did not care too much. All along, his father Zhang Guozhong had been telling him about the special nature of the Yin and Yang environment in the mountains. The Yin and Yang in the mountains is based on the mountains, which is very different from the Yin and Yang environment of most plain cities that is due south and due north. In the Yin and Yang system in the mountains, caves are the most special. Because of the closed environment, there is only Yin but no Yang in the caves. No matter where it is, no matter how high or low the altitude is, as long as it is a cave or a similar environment, the compass will fail at the least, and the Juque sword may also fail.
"Forget it… It's better to leave quickly in this kind of place…" To be honest, Zhang Yicheng had never seen what the so-called compass failure looked like before, so the abnormal reaction of the compass at this time seemed to Zhang Yicheng to be a failure, so he didn't take it seriously. Although he didn't take the failure of the plate seriously, the huge yin energy in the cave that was enough to cause the compass to fail also made Zhang Yicheng nervous. In addition, Tong Guohu had said before that there might be something in the cave, so Zhang Yicheng simply sheathed his knife and prepared to go home immediately. At this time, there was a loud bang, like a bomb explosion, which shook the whole cave three times, and even shook Zhang Yicheng so much that his ears tinnitus, dizziness, and blue veins were exposed, and he almost collapsed on the spot. To ordinary people, this loud noise sounded like the explosion of a hundred kilograms of TNT explosives, but to Zhang Yichen's ears, this was not the explosion of explosives, it was clearly the huge sound of "sky breaking ". In Taoist theory, one is that the evil spirits are eliminated, and the other is that some formation is destroyed, which will make the sound of sky breaking. The size of the sound varies according to the degree of cultivation of the evil spirits or the size of the formation. The stronger the evil spirits and the more evil the formation, the louder the sound when it is broken. There is no evil spirit at all at the moment, and the sound of sky breaking came for no reason. It must be that the formation has been broken. Such an atomic bomb-like movement, what kind of shocking evil formation must it be…
Hearing the noise, Zhang Yicheng's legs went weak, but his first reaction was to draw out his precious sword Chidori-kiri as a reflex. After scanning the surroundings and seeing that there was no movement, he immediately flew back to the cave entrance at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and was about to climb up while holding the rope. When he looked up, he was dumbfounded again, seeing a big butt with a hip circumference of four and a half feet falling down the rope from high altitude towards him.
"Damn it… Boss Dong… hurry up!" Zhang Yicheng was about to cry. Why are you coming down at this critical moment…
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Hearing someone talking down below, Boss Dong quickly tightened the rope and shone the flashlight down to find Zhang Yicheng jumping around and shouting. It seemed that nothing had happened. He immediately looked relieved. "Fuck you, you scared me to death. I thought Du Wenxiu had put explosives in there! What was that noise just now?"
"You go up first! Go up quickly! That thing is more powerful than dynamite. Go up quickly!" Zhang Yichen grabbed the rope and climbed up without saying a word.
"What the hell? What do you mean? What did you encounter?" Seeing Zhang Yicheng so panicked, Boss Dong also became nervous. He pulled the rope and started to climb up again, but he was more than an order of magnitude heavier than Zhang Yicheng. For Lu Zhishen, it was easy to airdrop, but without the help of the earth's gravity, it would be difficult to climb up. No matter how anxious Zhang Yicheng was, he could only follow him slowly and climb up bit by bit. To be honest, the feeling of driving a Ferrari on Beijing's East Second Ring Road during rush hour was just like this.
"Boss Dong! Grandpa Dong! Hurry up! Hurry up!" Zhang Yicheng's heart was about to jump out of his chest. In order to speed up, he even threw away the backpack containing the magic tools. For some reason, he always felt that something was following him when he was running away just now. Seeing that Boss Dong had only climbed two meters after half a day, it seemed that it was as if something was holding him up from the bottom to climb together.
"I want to go faster, too!" The veins on Boss Dong's neck were popping out. He also wanted to crawl faster, but this was the fastest he could go.
"Master Dong, when we get back to the inn later, I will buy you two courses of slimming pills at my own expense. You must follow the prescribed dosage…ah…Dong…" Before Zhang Yicheng could finish his joke, he felt someone grab his ankle and pull him down. The force was much stronger than the one that grabbed him in the cave in Lotus Mountain. It was obviously not a living person, so he was pulled off the rope before he could even finish the three words "Boss Dong". He fell heavily to the ground with a plop.
"What's wrong? Xiao Zhang?" Boss Dong felt that the rope shook violently and something seemed wrong. He looked down and saw that Zhang Yicheng had disappeared. "Xiao Zhang! Zhang Yicheng, we can't play like this! Zhang Yicheng!!" After shouting a few times and finding no movement, Boss Dong simply changed from climbing to rappelling. He raised the electric baton and flashlight and entered the secret room…
Zhang Yicheng's reaction was relatively fast. When he fell to the ground, his first reaction was to turn over and draw out Chidori. But a quick reaction does not mean a quick action. Compared to the speed of dragging himself, Zhang Yicheng's action was like a slow motion in a movie. In the short time it took to turn over and draw the knife, he was dragged more than ten meters away.
"Fuck you…" Xiao Buqie pulled out the Chidori Knife and swept it horizontally under his feet. He only felt a puff. Although the feeling of the ankle being grabbed was still there, the dragging force disappeared instantly, as if the arm of the resentful person was cut off. A precious sword is a precious sword. Although this Chidori Knife is not as old as the ancient treasures such as the Giant View Seven Stars, it is much younger and the blade is sharper. Even Zhang Yicheng didn't expect that this devil's sword would be so easy to use. Judging from the earth-shattering sound of the sky breaking just now, it might be some evil thing that pulled him. Unexpectedly, it was cut off so easily.
"Zhang Yicheng!" At this time, Boss Dong also rushed over with a flashlight. In the flashlight, he seemed to see a black shadow flash, and it disappeared in a few tenths of a second. "What happened! What was that just now?"
"Shh…" Zhang Yicheng stretched out a finger and raised the knife with one hand to signal Boss Dong not to speak. Bai Ji also took out the flashlight and shone it on the ground for a long time. He saw a palm-sized piece of mucus on the ground, and then he looked at it, "Strange, I clearly cut it…"
"What are you looking for?" Boss Dong didn't know what to do, so he just shone the flashlight around randomly.
"Forget it, let's not look for it anymore. Let's retreat first…" Zhang Yicheng held his arm and the two of them slowly retreated. When they were about to reach the cave entrance, Boss Dong suddenly felt something dripping on his face, "What is that?" Boss Dong wiped his face with the back of his hand, and then instinctively shone the flashlight upwards. He was almost scared to death when he saw a "person" lying on his back above their heads. The whole body, including the face, was pitch black. This black was different from the black of Africans. It was completely pure charcoal black. Only the teeth were white. The reason why the teeth could be seen was because there were no lips at all.
"Ah!" Anyone would collapse when seeing such a thing. Boss Dong was no exception. While shouting, he threw the flashlight and electric baton in two directions, seven or eight meters away.
"What the hell!" Boss Dong was frightened by the guy on the roof, but Zhang Yichen was also frightened by Boss Dong. He suddenly raised his head and got goose bumps all over his body. He swung his arm and flew out with a knife. The guy on the roof disappeared in a flash, and the precious sword bounced on the rock wall above his head with a clang, sparks flew.
"Run this way!" Zhang Yichen also saw through it. With Boss Dong's speed in climbing the rope, it was impossible for him to climb out from the patio. The only hope now was the small cave with flowing spring water in the other secret room.
"Which way?" Boss Dong also came to his senses. He quickly picked up the flashlight, then raised it and started looking for the stun baton.
"Don't look for your thing! Run!" Zhang Yichong picked up the sword, pulled Dong Laofan and ran towards the archway. As a result, as soon as he reached the entrance of the archway, he felt a cold wind behind him. Turning around, he saw a black thing standing behind Boss Dong.
"What's wrong?" Boss Dong was also stunned. He turned around instinctively and happened to come face to face with the person behind him. He was frightened on the spot.
"Boss Dong! Lower your head!" Zhang Yicheng swung his Chidori Cut horizontally. Boss Dong closed his eyes and squatted down desperately. He felt a cool breeze brushing his scalp. "Damn it, be careful!" To be honest, Boss Dong also collapsed at this moment. No matter whether it was Zhang Yicheng or the black grandfather opposite, neither side was safe. At least now it seemed that he was more likely to be killed by this kid first…
Holding his head and opening his eyes, Boss Dong collapsed again. He saw a head thrown by Yuan Guliu facing him from bottom to top. At such a close distance, with the help of the flashlight, Boss Dong could see clearly that the head of Hei Yeye seemed to have been chopped off by Zhang Yicheng's knife just now. It seemed that it was just a thin layer of black skin wrapped around the bones, no hair, no eyes, "Fuck…" Boss Dong stood up in shock. "What the hell is this thing!?"
"Why are you still pretending to be stupid? Let's go!" Zhang Yichen pulled Boss Dong to enter the archway, but before he could move forward, he was dumbfounded again. He saw that the buddy whose head he had just chopped off was standing intact in the archway opposite. When he lowered his head to look for the head he had just chopped off, it was gone.
"Damn, I've run into Piccolo…" Zhang Yicheng was also confused. Where did this African guy come from? Could he be the one who was lying on the ground with a dagger stabbed in the throat? No, he didn't look that black when he first saw him. How could he have a genetic mutation?
Just like that, the Black Grandpa on the opposite side suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yicheng, and it was too late to cut him. Zhang Yicheng didn't stop there, and stabbed Black Grandpa's chest. He felt a puff , and the Chidori cut pierced into Black Grandpa's chest. Unexpectedly, this guy was not hurt by the knife, but hugged Zhang Yicheng and jumped into the archway. Before Boss Dong could react, the two brothers disappeared.
"Zhang… Zhang… Zhang Yicheng!" Boss Dong was stunned. After the two brothers disappeared into the archway, he finally responded and shouted twice, but there was no response from the archway.
"Fuck you. I really don't believe this!" Boss Dong spat on the ground, picked up the flashlight and the electric baton, turned back, picked up Zhang Yichen's backpack containing magic tools, put it on his shoulder, took a deep breath, and strode into the archway.
