A group of five people returned to the door of the ancient tomb. At this moment, Li Yuanhao and the other three had solemn expressions on their faces because they had heard the screams of the female ghost before.
Moreover, the place where they saw the female ghost appeared was very short, no more than 5 meters away from them. They believed that this was not their illusion.
"Junior brother, do you know any rumors about this ghost cave?" Li Yuanhao asked.
“Never heard of it!” Chen Ze shook his head.
Chen Wenjin added: "I know a rumor. It is said that when Qin Shihuang was building the mausoleum, he dug a pit and found a human-shaped skeleton. This skeleton was tied with iron chains and hung on the tomb. ”
"Then what?" Li Yuanhao asked.
"Then, the humanoid bones were hung on the tree so that everyone in the tomb could be monitored. If anyone breaks the oath and wants to steal or destroy the tomb, he can be killed instantly." Chen Wenjin explained.
After hearing this, Li Yuanhao and Fatty Wang lamented the cruelty of the owner of the tomb.
But these things have nothing to do with them. Chen Ze and the others have only one goal, which is to rescue Wang Ruoxi as soon as possible and leave this hellish place.
Chen Ze, Chen Wenjin and Zhang Qiling walked in the direction Chen Wenjin said while paying attention to their surroundings.
No matter which direction the sound comes from, they must be extra cautious. After all, this is an ancient tomb. If they encounter ghosts or the like, even the three of them may not be opponents.
Finally, after Chen Wenjin pointed out the direction, Chen Ze and others found the backpack that Wang Ruoxi had dropped.
It was already dark at this time, but the entire ghost cave was still dark. Chen Ze and the four of them could barely see the surroundings clearly with the help of the weak moonlight.
"Master, what should I do? It's so dark, we can't see clearly at all!" Fatty Wang complained.
“Don’t worry!” Chen Ze reassured.
Chen Ze took out the fire folding device and used it to illuminate the surrounding environment.
Chen Ze discovered that these walls were actually covered with densely packed characters, all of which were ancient Chinese characters.
“Master, what is written on this?” Zhang Qiling asked.
“Ghost cave!” Chen Ze spit out these two words.
"What kind of ghost cave is it?" Zhang Qiling asked again.
Chen Ze: "Ghost cave!"
Chen Ze repeated it, and then pointed at the pictures, which depicted some human-shaped objects, and a group of people carrying a coffin to the ghost cave. Go to the hole.
After reading these pictures, Chen Ze basically knew where this place was. Chen Ze had seen it in the movie "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a place name is mentioned, called Yincao Underworld. This place is the entrance to the legendary underworld.
But there are very few people who have actually seen it, because there were legends about this place a long time ago.
But in the end it was confirmed that there is no underworld in this world.
So some people now believe that the records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are not necessarily true.
“Is this really the legendary underworld?” Zhang Qiling asked in surprise. Although she majored in history, she had not studied ancient history, and she did not dare to delve into the mysterious things in ancient times.
When Chen Ze saw these patterns, his head was a little confused, and he said uncertainly: "It can't be fake, right?"
"Let's go in. No matter what, it's important to rescue Wang Ruoxi first. ." Chen Wenjin suggested.
Passed unanimously.
So Chen Ze took Chen Wenjin and Wang Ruoxi, Li Yuanhao and Zhang Qiling to cut off the rear.
The four of them walked towards the ghost cave together.
The air inside the ghost cave is very thin and it is a bit difficult to breathe, but fortunately this ghost cave is not too spacious.
Chen Ze and others also encountered several shriveled skeletons along the way. It seemed that those mummies had wandered in from outside.
It's just that the deeper you go, the quieter you get. You can't even hear the chirping of insects and birds...
This kind of silence makes people feel chilling, but Chen Ze behaves extremely calmly. .
"Chen Ze, be careful!" Li Yuanhao warned from behind.
Chen Ze: "Don't worry, I'm fine." Chen Ze continued walking forward after saying that.
“Ah~”
At this time, Wang Ruoxi's screams came from behind Chen Ze.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?" Chen Ze turned around and asked. "I...there is something entangled under my feet!" Wang Ruoxi shouted in panic. Before Wang Ruoxi finished speaking, Chen Ze saw a giant python attacking Wang Ruoxi very fast.
However, the python’s target was obviously not Wang Ruoxi, but Chen Ze who was standing next to him.
It’s just that Chen Ze was well prepared. The moment the giant python hit, Chen Ze sideways dodged and at the same time punched the giant python’s seven inches.
With a bang, the giant python was knocked away by Chen Ze.
"Hiss~" the giant python whined in pain.
However, it did not flinch, but quickly attacked Chen Ze. But how could Chen Ze be afraid of it? A sweeping move kicked the giant python away, and then slashed the giant python at seven inches, cutting the giant python into two halves.
"Ouch!"
As the giant python died, all kinds of shrill wolf howls came from around, and Chen Ze's ears were buzzing. .
"Quickly retreat!" Li Yuanhao greeted quickly.
Everyone quickly evacuated the ghost cave.
There is a dilapidated stone tablet outside the ghost cave, with the word ghost cave crookedly written on it.
“This is the stone tablet of the Ghost Cave, with some ancient inscriptions engraved on it.” Zhang Qiling said.
“I know a little bit about ancient writing.” Fatty Wang said.
"Oh? You know ancient writing?" Zhang Qiling said in surprise.
Fat Wang smiled, then squatted on the ground and silently recited an ancient seal character. Chen Ze and others suddenly understood after listening.
“It turns out that the ghost cave is named after ancient seal characters, no wonder!” Chen Wenjin suddenly realized.
Chen Ze also nodded. The ancient characters they saw just now should be used to warn future generations, but they didn't expect that Chen Ze and others would break in by mistake.
At this time, there was a cry from the ghost cave.
"Someone, I heard someone crying!" Li Yuanhao said.
“I heard it too!” Zhang Qiling said.
It’s just that except for the howling ghosts and howling wolves, there seems to be no one else in the ghost cave.
“It doesn’t sound like there’s a living person’s voice!” Chen Ze analyzed.
“What should we do?” Zhang Qiling asked.
"Go in and have a look before we talk!" Chen Ze decided to explore the ghost cave again.
"Wait..." Li Yuanhao suddenly grabbed Chen Ze who was about to enter.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ze stopped.
“It smells of blood!” Li Yuanhao said.
"What? Does it smell of blood?" Chen Wenjin immediately ran to the edge of the ghost cave and looked down.
Just this one look almost made me pee.
I saw only a dark mass underneath, and couldn't see clearly what was inside, but the smell of blood coming from inside was so real.
"Chen Ze..." Wang Ruoxi was a little scared.
Chen Ze: "Don't be afraid, it's okay!"
After that, Chen Ze took the lead to step into the ghost cave.
Zhang Qiling and Chen Wenjin looked at each other and followed after hesitating for a moment.
"Chen Ze, I feel like we have fallen into some kind of illusion." Chen Wenjin said.
“Yeah!” Chen Ze did not deny it, because Chen Ze himself noticed it.
"Then...what should we do?" Wang Ruoxi was very scared.
Chen Ze: "It's okay, I will protect you both!"
As he spoke, Chen Ze reached out and grabbed Chen Wenjin's arm, protecting her behind him. (End of this chapter)
