Everyone looked tense, gripping their weapons tightly, ready for battle.
But just then, the roar suddenly turned and headed in another direction, gradually fading into the distance until it disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their doubts only grew stronger.
Su Yaqi asked, "What exactly is going on? Could there be something else attracting it?"
Qin Xiaoxuan frowned as she pondered, "Perhaps there are secret passages in this cave that we don't know about, and it leads to other places."
Wang Fan looked at everyone and said, "No matter what, we still need to proceed with caution and keep moving forward."
The group nodded, rallied their spirits, and continued deeper into the cave.
As they walked, they spotted a faint light ahead. Xiao Meng exclaimed excitedly, "Is that the exit?"
Wang Fan shook his head: "Don't be careless, let's go and take a look first."
As they approached the light, they discovered it was a huge stone chamber.
The walls of the stone chamber were inlaid with many gems that emitted a strange light.
Su Yalin couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"
With curiosity and caution, the group entered the stone chamber.
Wang Fan walked ahead, carefully observing his surroundings.
Xiao Meng was attracted by the gems and couldn't help but reach out to touch them.
Qin Xiaoxuan quickly stopped her, saying, "Xiaomeng, don't move around, it's dangerous."
Hua Nianci carefully examined the structure of the stone chamber and said, "This place doesn't look simple. Everyone, be careful where you step and what's above you."
Su Yaqi chimed in, "Yes, there might be some traps or mechanisms."
After careful observation, everyone found no danger.
But the stone chamber was arranged so strangely that it made them feel like it was someone's home.
Xiao Meng asked curiously, "What kind of person do you think would live in a place like this?"
Qin Xiaoxuan guessed, "Perhaps it is some reclusive master."
Hua Nianci shook her head: "It could also be some kind of mysterious creature."
Wang Fan cautioned, "No matter what, we cannot let our guard down."
Just then, a mysterious light faintly emanated from a stone platform in the corner.
Little Black curiously leaned over and licked it, and instantly a bright light shone forth, enveloping everyone in it.
When the light disappeared, everyone found themselves transported to an unfamiliar platform.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with surprise and confusion.
When everyone saw the scene before them clearly, they gasped in shock.
The scene before my eyes was truly horrifying; it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The mountains of bones and the rivers of blood exuded a nauseating stench.
Everyone turned pale with fright at the terrifying scene, and Xiao Meng screamed, "Ah! Where am I?!"
Su Yalin was so frightened that her eyes welled up with tears, and she hid behind her older sister Su Yaqi, trembling with fear.
Wang Fan, suppressing his nausea, roared, "Xiao Hei, it's all your fault for licking things randomly and bringing us to this godforsaken place!"
Little Black whimpered pitifully, its head drooping.
Qin Xiaoxuan remained relatively calm and said, "There's no use blaming Xiao Hei now. We need to think about how to get out of here."
Hua Nianci gritted her teeth: "Yes, let's calm down first and see if there's a way out."
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to scatter, carefully searching for an exit.
They explored along the edge of the platform, leaving no corner unchecked.
However, after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find the exit.
Xiao Meng stamped her feet anxiously: "What are we going to do? There's no way out anywhere. Are we going to be trapped here forever?"
Su Yaqi looked up at the sky and said hopefully, "Why don't we see if there's any passage in the sky?"
Wang Fan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Silly boy, go up and take a look!"
The sand sculpture spread its wings and flew high, circling in the air a few times before flying back and shaking its head at the crowd.
Xiao Meng plopped down on the ground in disappointment: "It's over, it's over, there's really no hope now."
Hearing Xiaomeng's words, everyone felt even more disappointed.
Seeing everyone's dejected appearance, Wang Fan mustered his spirits and said, "Don't be so discouraged, we haven't reached the end of our rope yet."
Qin Xiaoxuan chimed in, "Yes, maybe things will turn around in the next moment."
Hua Nianci stood up and dusted herself off: "Then let's keep looking. We can't just give up like this."
At this moment, Su Yalin timidly asked, "Could there be an exit hidden in this mountain of corpses?"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
Wang Fan frowned and thought for a moment: "It's not impossible, but this mountain of corpses..."
Xiao Meng couldn't help but shudder: "Finding an exit in this mountain of corpses is terrifying."
Qin Xiaoxuan gritted her teeth: "We've come this far, we have to try no matter how scary it is."
So, they gritted their teeth and began the arduous search through the mountain of corpses.
Just then, a hand suddenly reached out from the pile of corpses and grabbed Xiaomeng's ankle.
Xiao Meng screamed in fright, and everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.
Wang Fan rushed over and forcefully pried the hand open, only to find it was just a false alarm.
It was a severed hand, which had slipped out as they moved it.
Xiao Meng patted her chest, panting heavily: "That scared me to death! I thought it was some kind of monster."
Su Yalin said with lingering fear, "Thank goodness, but this was still too scary."
After calming themselves down a bit, the group continued searching for an exit from the mountain of corpses.
Before long, they actually found an exit.
However, this exit was about two meters high, surrounded by a blood-red glow, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.
The exit appeared to be a teleportation array, its patterns shimmering with an eerie light.
The crowd stood below, gazing at the exit, their faces showing hesitation.
Xiaomeng said somewhat fearfully, "This exit looks scary, is it dangerous?"
Su Yaqi also worriedly said, "It's so eerie. What if it's even more dangerous inside?"
Wang Fan frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "But this may be our only way out. If we don't try, we'll just be trapped here."
Qin Xiaoxuan bit her lip: "I think Wang Fan is right. It's better than waiting to die here."
Hua Nianci nodded: "Then let's give it a shot!"
Having made up their minds, everyone entered the teleportation array one after another.
When they emerged from the teleportation array, the sight before them made them gasp in astonishment.
Compared to the mountains of corpses and seas of blood just now, it's nothing.
This is an incredibly vast space, seemingly without boundaries; the dark dome is so high and distant that it makes one feel small and helpless.
The mountain of corpses before us towered into the clouds, with layers upon layers of bodies piled together to form steep peaks.
The corpses were in various shapes and sizes, some with twisted limbs.
Some had shattered skulls, while others had shriveled bodies, as if they had endured extreme pain and torment.
On the mountain of corpses, mutilated limbs would occasionally slip off, making a chilling sound.
