Chapter 115: Soul Palace Secrets (Part 3)
In such an inky black environment, if it weren't for the faint green light of the ghost lights flickering at the entrances of the caves, it would be difficult to detect their existence even if one opened one's eyes wide.
Gu Shihan carefully sent a wisp of spiritual consciousness into the cave, and soon he keenly sensed a strong and disgusting smell of blood.
"Brother, in my opinion, we should go to the cave with the strongest bloody smell. Those people must have entered it just now!"
Gu Shihan spoke in a low voice, his tone revealing a hint of nervousness and excitement.
The two understood each other, exchanged glances, and then walked into the cave quietly and in tacit understanding.
At first, the entrance of the cave was so narrow that only one person could pass through, but as they went deeper, the road gradually became wider.
The cold and damp cave walls seemed to be covered with a layer of slippery mucus, emitting bursts of chill.
And on the damp and cold cave wall, countless vampire red bats were crouching densely.
These red bats stared with scarlet eyes, their sharp fangs flashing cold light, as if they were ready to pounce on intruders at any time.
Fortunately, Gu Shihan and Shi Qinghan were prepared. Not only did they wear invisibility charms that could conceal their bodies, they also wore breath-retaining charms that could restrain their breath.
Because of this, despite the large number of red bats around, their presence was never discovered.
In this way, the two of them groped forward in the cave cautiously.
About half an hour later, suddenly, a sharp "whoosh" sound came from far away.
Gu Shihan reacted very quickly. He reached out and grabbed Shi Qinghan beside him, and quickly squatted down.
Almost at the same moment, a flock of black crows flew over their heads like lightning.
"It was a close call! We were just a little bit away from being hit by this group of black crows. Once our whereabouts were exposed, the consequences would be disastrous!" Shi Qinghan said with lingering fear, a layer of fine beads of sweat already appearing on his forehead.
"That's right! But precisely because there are black crows here, it means we are not in the wrong place!" Gu Shihan responded softly while vigilantly observing the movements around him.
In order to avoid another head-on encounter with the black crows, they had to bend their bodies as much as possible and move forward silently in the darkness.
After turning several corners in succession, the road in front of us suddenly became wide and the space suddenly became larger.
An extremely strong evil spirit accompanied by a pungent smell of blood rushed towards me.
The two men quickly squatted down and stared straight ahead.
I saw an extremely huge pool of blood, which occupied nearly half of the space in the cave.
The blood in the pool was as thick as paste, with red bubbles constantly coming out and gurgling sounds, which was creepy.
There were countless small insects rolling in the blood pool, and countless black crows gathered beside the pool, greedily absorbing the blood energy emanating from the blood pool, as if it was some kind of unparalleled delicacy.
Looking at the stone walls around the cave, there are many small caves of different sizes.
There are black boxes placed in each stone cave. These boxes look very strange and make people feel scared.
A careful observation revealed that the box contained people, but no one knew whether they were alive or dead.
Gu Shihan frowned and immediately extended his spiritual sense carefully.
In an instant, her face turned pale.
It turned out that the people in the boxes were in different conditions. Some had already lost their breath of life, while those who were not yet dead were suffering from cruel torture of bloodletting.
Just as the two were astonished, a series of crisp "ding-ding-dang-dang" sounds came into their ears.
Following the sound, I saw a group of mysterious people in black robes leading some monks walking towards this side.
When the group of black crows heard the footsteps, they immediately flapped their wings and flew high, circling in the air, as if they were warmly welcoming the arrival of the man in black robe.
The man in black robe had no intention of stopping. He flew up like a ghost and landed steadily in one narrow stone cave after another.
He just looked at the people on the ground who had lost their breath with an expressionless face, as if their life and death had nothing to do with him.
They casually stretched out their hands and threw the corpses into the pool of blood next to them, which emitted a pungent smell of blood, as if they were discarding garbage.
Gu Shihan and Shi Qinghan, who had been observing in secret, became extremely anxious when they saw this scene and could no longer suppress the urge to save people.
The two looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and decided to launch a rescue operation immediately.
Xingbai quickly exerted a powerful restraining force, instantly blocking the entrance and exit of the entire cave, making it impossible for anyone to escape.
Yutong and Long made room, and in an instant, a raging fire started above the blood pool. The fire was so fierce that it illuminated the entire cave.
Gu Shihan and Shi Qinghan, holding swords, rushed into the enemy camp side by side.
As the sword flashed, a few screams were heard. After just a few rounds, four enemies fell in a pool of blood, unable to get up again.
Seeing this, the other enemies knew that the situation was hopeless and began to retreat, wanting to take the opportunity to escape and ask for help from the outside world.
The black-robed man's wishful thinking came to nothing, because with Xingbai guarding here, all their attempts were nothing but fantasies.
After a fierce fight, all ten enemies were subdued and firmly controlled.
Xingbai jumped up lightly and appeared in front of everyone. Its small and exquisite claws did not stop for a moment, tapping the bodies of the captured people at a very fast speed.
Not long after, several disgusting poisonous insects were removed from the bodies of these people.
Seeing Xing Bai's actions, Shi Qinghan couldn't help but feel very curious and asked, "Xing Bai, what do you need these poisonous insects for?"
Hearing Shi Qinghan's question, Xingbai raised his head with an expression that said "you're stupid".
The Star White Fox had a smile in his eyes as he explained: These poisonous insects cannot die now. I will take them out of their bodies, and then you can kill these people with confidence!
You know, if you kill a person infected with the poison directly, the person who put the poison in him will definitely notice something is wrong.
In this way, we will alert the snake! So, this trick is called "don't alert the snake". What do you think, isn't it very smart?"
"Indeed, Xingbai, you are so smart!" Shi Qinghan praised with a smile, then turned around and went to kill someone.
Gu Shihan took out the Qiankun House and waved his hand lightly, and the Qiankun House instantly became bigger.
He muttered something and cast a spell. A ray of light shot out from the Qiankun House, covering all the monks brought by the black-robed man.
In the blink of an eye, these people were sucked into the Qiankun House and disappeared without a trace.
