Logically speaking, this should be a desolate place where no one has ever set foot.
But now, judging from the deep and shallow shoe prints on the ground, it is obvious that more than one person has been there.
Shen Wuyou and the others followed the footprints and walked forward. The closer they got to the center of the mountain, the more they found that the footprints were becoming more and more dense and chaotic. Looking at the direction of the prints, they should have gathered from all directions in the west.
With doubts, they walked to a hidden cave. The cave was about two meters high. It was dark and gloomy inside and they could not see anything clearly.
Bai Yumo checked the messy footprints in front of the cave, and her eyes suddenly darkened:
“These people, once they went in, never came out again.”
The cave is so big, but there is not a trace of air movement. It is obvious that this cave has only one exit in front of it, the only exit.
An Lanqing twisted the dirt beneath the footprints with his slender fingers and concluded, "The oldest footprints are no longer visible. They're probably one or two years old. The latest was three days ago."
"If they don't come out for a year or two...even if there is water and food inside, they won't be able to feed so many people..." Yan Qingli looked at the footprints on the ground in confusion, then glanced at the dark cave, puzzled.
"So, what is in here that could make them give up their lives?"
Shen Wuyou leaned forward and peered into the cave, then tried to take a few steps forward. Then, pinching his nose, he emerged and said in a humming voice, "There's no miasma in there, but the air is a bit unpleasant. You can go in."
Hearing this, everyone walked inside without hesitation.
The ghost master and ghost general led the way in front, while Bai Yumo took out palm-sized luminous pearls from the storage ring. They were shiny and bright in color. They felt cool and comfortable in the hands.
Each ball had only one kind of light. The one in Bai Yumo's hand emitted a bright white light, as if it was surrounded by a layer of moonlight.
As for the others... Ling Wangqing's is blue and white, An Lanqing's is light blue, Yan Qingli's is blue-green, and Shen Wuyou's is fluorescent green. The brightness is very strong, enough to illuminate the road ahead.
Having said that, as they went deeper and deeper, they couldn't help but frown.
The entrance to this cave is quite secretive. After entering, you have to pass through a long and narrow corridor. It is pitch black, and bats scream and fly out from time to time.
This is normal in caves and nothing surprising.
What really struck them as amiss was the steep staircase, each layer rough and damp, covered in dark green moss. It was obvious that it couldn't have been formed naturally, let alone by the Ice Demon Wolf that once inhabited this place.
So, it is for the sake of people.
Judging from the situation, it should have been about two years.
So, who was so reckless as to come to this uninhabited Canglang Mountain and dig out such a secret passage?
What is the purpose of digging out such a gloomy and terrifying secret passage?
They continued to go deeper, descending the stairs layer by layer. The air below became increasingly foul, enclosed and dark, damp and hot, and mixed with the salty smell of moss, which was truly unbearable.
Shen Wuyou was a plant monster and was very sensitive to smells. She raised her sleeves and covered her nose with the red gauze, walking step by step with difficulty. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, but her eyes were becoming brighter and brighter.
She glanced at everyone's expressions. Even An Lanqing, who was always gentle and amiable, raised his sleeve to cover his nose in embarrassment. But Ling Wangqing next to him still had a normal expression, as if he didn't smell anything.
So she slowly approached him and praised him softly:
"Sir, you can do it!"
Ling Wangqing lowered his eyes, looking down at her condescendingly, and uttered a nasal voice: "Hmm?"
"Can you stand this smell?"
"Just hold your breath."
He answered her question briefly and pointedly, then turned his gaze away indifferently, no longer looking at her.
Shen Wuyou was dumbfounded, blinking her bright and moving black eyes, her eyes filled with confusion: "They can't even hold their breath for this long... How high must your cultivation level be?"
He lowered his eyes and glanced at her calmly without saying anything.
Shen Wuyou: “…”
OK, it's amazing that you have such a high level of cultivation.
As we went deeper, the cave gradually turned into a dungeon and the space became larger. There seemed to be a "tick-tick" sound of water in our ears, which made the cave even more eerie and strange in this dark and quiet dungeon.
Not only that, this underground cave seemed to have the intention of scaring people to death, and faint sobbing sounds could be heard.
Listening to the voice, it seems to be a woman?
Now they were even more frightened, and they couldn't help but walk more cautiously.
You know, in such a harsh living environment, a normal woman cannot survive safely.
Then consider the footprints outside that only go in but never out...
Is there a man-eating monster living in here?!
Shen Wuyou listened to the strange cries coming from inside, which were so shrill and sad that they made her scalp tingle and her hair stand on end. Suddenly, she shuddered.
Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind, and her round eyes rolled around. The next moment, she grabbed Ling Wangqing's sleeve in fear, as if unconsciously seeking shelter, and walked closer and closer to him...
She was very close to Ling Wangqing, so naturally her every move was in his eyes. The latter felt her trembling, glanced at her shivering body lightly, but didn't say anything.
He just moved his arm a little towards her, like an elegant gentleman waiting for his female companion to come forward and hold his arm, which made Shen Wuyou very happy.
It’s done! It’s done!
The iron tree finally blooms, and the straight man finally understands how to be gentle and considerate to women!
Shen Wuyu was secretly delighted, but he pretended to be more realistic on the surface.
While biting his lower lip and staring timidly at the road ahead with his big, sparkling eyes, his hands 'unconsciously' climbed up and hugged the outstretched arm, not even bothering to cover his nose.
She couldn't care about those things at the moment. The smell in the cave was a bit unpleasant, but she couldn't resist the fragrance of the man next to her!
I don't know what he used to take a bath, but his whole body had a faint cold fragrance, like the oldest agarwood sleeping in the cold abyss. You had to get close to smell it.
Moreover, it seemed to have a calming effect. As she sniffed it, she gradually felt sleepy...
Just as her eyes dimmed a little, a serious and low voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Hold your breath!"
Shen Wuyou was startled and immediately held her breath. She looked around bewilderedly and saw that the three people in front of her had the same expression. Shen Wuyou looked up blankly and looked at the serious-looking Ling Wangqing blankly:
"What's wrong?"
"There's a succubus."
His three short words caused the other four people to freeze immediately.
