There is no way up to the sky and no door into the earth in that place. Facing such a huge Teng Snake, it is most likely a death situation!
Moreover, there are many Golden Ancestor Gu alive on the big tree in the mineral vein. These poisonous insects can control people's bodies and kill people instantly. Even this Teng Snake dare not provoke them easily!
Therefore, the Teng Snake seized on the idea that Zhang Fan and others would never dare to confront those Golden Ancestor Gu head-on, so it set up an ambush under the big tree.
Therefore, this thing possesses high intelligence, excellent hearing and vision, and even sensing ability. Once this thing lurks in the dark and attacks, it will be very dangerous for everyone.
“Sure enough…there is a cave here!”
Old man Jiang Hai paused and suddenly stopped!
"What did you see?" asked Taoist Zi Jin!
Old man Jiang Hai shook his head: "Well, I can't guarantee it! Because I just caught a glimpse and seemed to see a person in the cave!"
"What? Someone..."
Nangong Manyun behind was startled, and Brother Chongzi and others in the back also changed their expressions.
This place is so deserted that even ghosts don't want to stay here for long. How could someone actually live here? Are you kidding me!
"That's right... Even though I don't want to believe it, I really saw a person wearing animal skins, and he disappeared in a flash!"
Old man Jiang Hai took a step back and spoke in a serious tone.
"Master Zi Jin, you walk in the front! Everyone else, protect each other and don't give anyone a chance to take advantage!" Zhang Fan was at the back, and when he saw a few people hesitating to move forward, he finally spoke up to give instructions!
“It’s the master!”
Taoist Zi Jin nodded, put his hand on old man Jiang Hai's shoulder, and tapped the tip of his toes lightly on the plank road. However, he made a flexible rotation on the narrow plank road and circled in front of old man Jiang Hai!
“Good skills!”
Brother Chongzi was watching from behind, dazzled and mysterious. Any mistake in this place could cost someone’s life!
But Taoist Zi Jin was like walking in his own backyard. This skill made people envious and heartbroken, but they just couldn't learn it!
"Master Zijin is so agile and brave, and he is far more courageous than ordinary people. I would like to thank you and Mr. Zhang Fan for clearing away many troubles for us."
Mr. Fei was sincerely grateful, and even Mr. Jiang Hai looked at Zhang Fan with gratitude.
Zhang Fan was unmoved and didn't care about the thanks or gratitude of several people. He cared more about what kind of secrets were hidden in this deep mountain!
And the person discovered by Mr. Jiang Hai, is he the descendant of those former grave keepers?
Perhaps I can learn some secrets about this place from this person.
Taoist Zi Jin had no taboos and walked several times faster than old man Jiang Hai. He almost jogged through the road. Then they turned a corner and saw a huge cave in front of them, like the mouth of a ferocious beast. Strong winds blew past the entrance of the cave, causing strange roars to come from deep in the cave, as if a wild beast was warning them not to get close.
Taoist Zi Jin jumped onto the platform and looked around. This was a huge cave formed completely naturally. There were many mineral veins on the surrounding mountain walls. The surface was covered with a thick layer of limestone, like white bone powder, which spread on the platform, making people mistakenly think that they had come to a bone cave!
"This place is very weird!" Taoist Zijin sniffed and smelled a human scent, but this scent was mixed with the scent of Tengshe Mountain Ghost and even some unnamed monsters. It seemed that this person lived with those monsters! He was their accomplice!
"How is it?" asked old man Jiang Hai!
"No one, nothing to do, you can come over now!"
Taoist Zi Jin shouted, then took a step and walked into the cave!
He raised the flashlight and shone it around, and saw a strange stone building inside the cave. The stone building had a hideous and ferocious posture, and a pair of ghostly eyes stared at the cave entrance, intimidating anyone who wanted to step in!
Taoist Zi Jin snorted coldly, took a big step and rushed inside!
However, just as Taoist Zi Jin entered the cave, his entire body was swallowed by darkness!
Suddenly, the sound of a rope sliding was heard, and behind and above Taoist Zi Jin, a burly man wrapped in animal skins fell to the ground with a thud!
At the same time, a cold light flashed, and a sharp dagger was pointed at the neck of Taoist Zi Jin!
"Don't move! Boys...you guys are really capable. You can actually walk here!"
Hearing the voice, Brother Chongzi, Mr. Fei and others quickly jumped over from the plank road. Zhang Fan was the last one to arrive here, but he was the first one to step forward!
His eyes were fixed on the figure in animal skins, anger surging in his eyes!
"Haha, no wonder I always feel like someone is spying on me. You are such a clever guide. Not only did you fake your own death and escape, you also arrived deep in the mountains earlier than us. It seems like you are really the gravekeeper of this mountain. Tell me, am I right, Ma Dali?"
Zhang Fan spoke loudly, and at the same time, the man in animal skin clothes tilted his head slightly, with resentment flashing in his eyes!
At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pressed a mechanism on the wall. In an instant, more than a dozen blazing candles lit up in the originally dark cave!
It makes this place bright and clear!
"You...you're not dead? You are...you are the guide we hired before, Ma Dali from the Ewenki ethnic group!"
Old man Jiang Hai was greatly surprised, with shock flickering in his eyes. There were not many things that could surprise a centenarian. This Ma Dali was really unexpected, and his method of covering up his tracks was very clever!
Others also turned their attention to Ma Dali!
At this time, everyone recognized him. Although Ma Dali had a low presence and behaved more like an honest and ordinary anonymous hunter on the boat, his eyes now flashed with viciousness and malice. His originally simple and honest face was now covered with frost and paleness, making him look like a monster that blended with the surrounding bones. His narrow eyes, with a bit of scrutiny and cruelty, passed across everyone's faces.
"Who was it I thought? It turned out to be you, this old immortal!" Ma Dali turned his head and said, "I thought you, an old thing, would definitely die in the fish's mouth, but you actually came out alive!"
The corner of Mr. Jiang Hai's eye twitched: "Ma Dali, what do you mean? Why did you suddenly leave on the boat? We all thought you were dead. You are really a hidden talent. Your means of hiding your tracks are so clever that even I, an old man of nearly a hundred years old who has seen all kinds of things in the world, have been fooled by you!"
