Chapter 392: I’ll die, I’ll really die
When they reached the mountainside, Su Chen calculated Dong Rongjin's horoscope again. It was still very vague, but he could determine the direction, which was northwest and downward.
down……
Su Chen turned around and looked at the height of the mountain.
This is on the mountainside, and it looks like the highest point is only about a hundred meters. It shouldn't be difficult to find, right?
It’s indeed not difficult to find.
Perhaps because of his trust in the divination results, Su Chen looked around and found several cave entrances on the mountainside. He then smelled a special fragrance.
Similar to the scent of wisteria.
This is... agarwood.
Su Chen followed the smell and soon saw the incense hairpin inserted at the edge of the cave.
He reached out and touched it. The incense hairpin was not cold yet, which meant that it had just burned out.
Su Chen took out a flashlight and walked into the cave.
The light shone on the wall of the cave, which was bumpy and looked like it was carved by humans.
After walking about twenty meters, I found another agarwood incense hairpin.
But there was still a little bit left at the bottom that hadn't burned out.
Su Chen frowned.
Agarwood has the effect of warding off evil spirits.
It can penetrate ordinary mazes. Master Zhang and his team plant one every ten to twenty meters to guide the way.
They haven't come back yet, so it's obvious that agarwood is useless.
It can be seen that there must be a big creature in this cave.
Su Chen quickly took out the thunder talisman from the cloth bag.
With his other hand, he lifted the peach wood sword at his waist.
After walking another thirty or forty meters, Su Chen smelled a faint stench of decay.
He stopped and the flashlight fell to the ground.
Slowly approaching, a deep pit of seven or eight meters appeared in front of him.
The pit was about two meters wide. Under the light, there were piles of bones, many pointed stalactites, and tattered clothes at the bottom.
On the top was a dog, but only a layer of skin was left.
Su Chen carefully observed the wall of the pit and found no holes, but there were several depressions. If his climbing skills were good, he should be able to climb out from the bottom of the pit along these depressions.
He looked at the edge of the pit thoughtfully, and there were indeed traces of trampling on the edge of the pit, which was less than ten centimeters thick.
I don’t know how many people are in the investigation team this time. There should be more than just Master Zhang and Liu Xian and the other four. Are they all so skilled?
Su Chen jumped with doubt in his heart and jumped to the other side of the pit. He continued walking forward and found another agarwood.
That’s right!
Master Zhang and his group did indeed continue moving forward.
On the road ahead, Su Chen's toes felt the pressure of his shoes, and it was obvious that he was going downwards.
After discovering six agarwood sticks in succession, Su Chen saw a thick black aura lingering in the narrow passage.
It really is evil spirit!
He didn't rush forward, but threw a thunder talisman over first.
When the thunder struck, the thick black aura only trembled, but it still lingered there and its color did not fade.
Su Chen's expression grew more serious.
Even harder to deal with than the previous three-headed dog.
But that's right.
Master Zhang and the others also took a dozen lightning-inducing talismans before leaving. Wang Haitao had already learned how to set up a lightning-inducing array...
What on earth is in here that even the lightning array can’t deal with it?
Su Chen sighed and drew out the peach wood sword.
The sword swung, and the peach wood sword shone with a bright blue light. The peach wood sword, soaked in divine thunder, struck into the thick black aura, and the surrounding aura dissipated a little in an instant.
Su Chen set up a formation around him and with a stern face, he immersed himself in the thick black aura.
In the pitch-black cave, the light from the mining lamp has a very limited range, only one or two meters around the body.
The sound of dripping water in my ears, echoing with the footsteps of the crowd, is empty and lonely.
Wang Haitao leaned tiredly against the rock wall, his eyes vacant as he stared at Zhang Qian, who was clutching the lightning-inducing talisman. "Master Zhang, how much longer do we have to go? This isn't how you fight against ghosts, is it?"
Dong Rongjin didn't say a word and silently supported Zhang Qian.
The latter looked a little pale.
He had to use magic tools to support the formation to protect the investigation team, and at the same time, he had to hold the lightning talisman to be alert to unknown things that might attack in the darkness. His Taoist power and spirit were being consumed rapidly. If he hadn't thought that he had already notified Su Chen before, he might be able to get rescued if he held on. He would have wanted to lie down at this moment.
He glanced at Wang Haitao weakly, and his eyes fell on Liu Xian who was floating above his head and helping him to hold up the formation. Only then did Zhang Qian's resentment lessen a little.
"It's not a ghost wall, it's evil spirit plus an illusion array."
Zhang Qian paused for a moment, taking a moment to breathe. He took a deep breath and began to explain, "I heard before that there's a fox spirit in this cave that can absorb people's essence. Could it really be a fox spirit? Liu Xian, do you sense the aura of the immortal?"
"No, this place is full of evil spirits. Even if the fox becomes a spirit, it is not an immortal."
Liu Xian slowly shook his head.
"no!"
After a pause, he added: "There's no fox smell either!"
Dong Rongjin wiped Zhang Qian's sweat with a handkerchief. Zhang Qian was very pleased and took a breath. "That's right. If it was a fox spirit, we might not be able to sense the smell of fox, but you, Liu Xian, would definitely know..."
"Then this..."
Just as Zhang Qian was about to ask Dong Rongjin to sweep around with the mining lamp, he heard two "puff" sounds.
Looked curiously.
Wang Haitao, who was leaning against the rock wall, looked at his hand in surprise, then stared blankly at the rock wall: "No, it's not so brittle?"
Then his hands turned into claws and reached up subconsciously.
Zhang Qian didn't know what he was thinking about, his face changed drastically: "Stop!"
But it was too late.
Wang Haitao's claws had already landed on the rock wall and scratched it quickly.
More rock fragments fell.
Wang Haitao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Master Zhang, Liu Xian, look..."
Before he could finish his words, his body was involuntarily pulled outwards two or three meters. Wang Haitao was stunned to see that the rock wall, which had been standing quietly, suddenly shook violently, and then began to shatter inch by inch from the middle.
"run!"
Dong Rongjin gave a reminder, and without caring about anything else, he picked up Zhang Qian and ran away.
Wang Haitao finally reacted and followed subconsciously.
Liu Xian wrapped up the remaining investigators.
"Boom!"
Su Chen felt the vibration under his feet.
He subconsciously thrust the peach wood sword into the cave wall and pressed his body against it. The moment he pressed his body against it, a chill crept up his back.
He was stunned for a moment, and without waiting for the vibration to stop, he turned around and carefully examined the wall of the cave.
A black aura is wandering.
Avoid the peach wood sword and wander away~
Is this evil spirit being controlled, or is it alive?
After a brief doubt, Su Chen quickened his pace in the direction of the evil spirit.
There was wind under his feet, and the thick black aura left only a faint layer of gray around him. From time to time, a blue light flashed on the peach wood sword, and the surging evil spirit was dispersed. In this way, Su Chen quickly moved forward another hundred meters.
"Cough cough cough~"
Smoke and dust billowed.
Dong Rongjin covered his mouth and nose, but it was no use and he started coughing violently.
Zhang Qian, Wang Haitao and others had the same reaction.
The formation was still maintained, but the light of the lightning talisman in Zhang Qian's hand weakened.
In a trance, one of the investigators felt a sudden chill on his neck.
His eyes widened in horror.
At the same time, my palm felt hot.
Looking down, there was only a smear of dust left.
The amulet... was destroyed.
The amulet that could withstand ten times of damage was destroyed just over an hour after entering here!
Regardless of the shock, the investigator quickly unzipped his backpack and tried to take out the spare amulet from it, but when he had only unzipped halfway, he felt his whole body completely stiffen.
Hurry up, pull it open quickly!
If you don’t get the amulet, you will die, really die.
He tried hard to move his eyes, but his body couldn't move at all.
Suddenly, those eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, as if they had lost their vitality.
At the same time, a blue light flashed in the darkness not far away.
