"What kind of tribe is the Wugui tribe? Don't you know that there are people from the Wugui tribe here?" Mu Qingli asked Long Xu.
"I don't know! I've never heard of it. If I had heard of it, would I dare to come here?" Long Xu said with some fear.
He seemed to have an instinctive fear when he mentioned the Wugui clan, which made Mu Qingli feel awe-inspiring.
"What are you afraid of? Are the Wugui tribe very scary?" Mu Qingli asked in confusion.
"You don't know! The witch tribe is very cruel to those who break into their territory! In the mildest case, they will be beaten and thrown out, and in the worst case, they will directly scrape the witch to death!" Long Xu said fearfully.
"It seems that you are going to be scraped and sacrificed to the witch!" Mu Qingli joked with a smile.
"You're still laughing!" Long Xu said dissatisfiedly.
"There's nothing to be afraid of!" After Mu Qingli said that, she walked straight up to the statue and looked up at the seated statue in the middle.
The seated statue was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves like those of an ancient queen, a straight-collared smock with slits on both sides, and tasseled knee-pads hanging down the middle of the legs. The clothes seemed to be made of brocade, and in the candlelight, they sparkled with gold and looked quite impressive.
After looking at the clothes on her body, I looked up and saw the decorations that were hard to describe.
This witch didn't wear a phoenix crown or any jewelry on her head, but a piece of black cloth covering her head, like a hood. Her face was that of a witch with no flesh on her cheeks, big blood-red holes for eyes, and she was skinny like a devil from hell.
The background behind the witch was also entirely black. In the front row was a row of pointed spears. On the stone wall above the spears was a row of flags. Above the flags were skulls with ghostly fire in their eyes, which looked eerie and terrifying.
As for the standing statues on both sides of the seated statue, needless to say, they all have green faces and fangs, and the bulging muscles on their bodies are gray-black, just like the murals outside.
In front of the statue is a tall square tripod, which is carved with demons and monsters. If you want to see inside the tripod, you can only walk up the steps next to it.
"I'll go see what's inside the cauldron!" When Long Xu saw the big cauldron, curiosity overcame his fear and he said directly.
As he spoke, he walked towards the steps towards the tripod.
"Don't move!" Fu Hongzhou suddenly shouted, startling Long Xu.
Fu Hongzhou was still too late. Long Xu stepped on empty air and fell down.
Mu Qingli didn't bother to hide, and directly swung out the whip to pull Long Xu, so that he did not fall into the trap.
Long Xu, who was caught by the whip, looked down and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Inside this square trap, there were torches stuck on the stone wall, and at the bottom were rows of sharp spears. If a person fell into it, he would be pierced like a sieve.
"Someone has set a trap!" At this time, in a dim stone chamber somewhere in the sinkhole, an old man in black who was sitting cross-legged on a stone bed suddenly opened his eyes that were shining with brilliance.
Mu Qingli pulled Long Xu up, but Long Xu was still so frightened that he was paralyzed and couldn't stand up.
"Now, I'm afraid that the owner of this place has been alarmed!" Fu Hongzhou looked at the stone gate in the distance with a serious expression.
"Then we'll just wait for the master to arrive!" Mu Qingli glanced at Long Xu and said helplessly.
"Let's run!" Long Xu said fearfully as his legs were still weak when he stood up.
"Run away! Aren't you very scared? And you're curious! What the hell are you curious about?" Mu Qingli said angrily.
I originally wanted to explore this place quietly to see if I could find any clues about witchcraft, but who knew that this kid would ruin it.
In fact, when Mu Qingli heard the name Wugui, this was the idea that came to her mind. Wugui and witchcraft might be related.
"By the way, Hongzhou, after getting here, have you seen the little squirrel again?" Mu Qingli asked as if she suddenly remembered something.
"No! It seems that it disappeared after bringing us here!" Fu Hongzhou pondered for a moment and spoke.
"This is really strange. Could it be that it lives here?" Mu Qingli looked around but couldn't find the answer.
"Sister Li! Someone is coming this way!" At this time, Chanwazi ran over from a distance and said in a low voice.
Xiaobai hid in Shenwazi's sleeves and did not show up.
"Okay, got it! Let's just stand here and wait! No need to hide, let's see what kind of tribe the Wugui tribe is. Who are they?" After Mu Qingli finished speaking to Chan Wazi, he stood there calmly and waited.
"Sister Li, we really can't see them! Those people are so scary!" Long Xu still wanted to persuade Mu Qingli to escape.
"Shut up! You are not allowed to talk or move anymore!" Mu Qingli glared at him and ignored him.
At this time, the stone gate opened wide, and a group of people ran in from outside. They were holding wooden sticks, bows and crossbows and other primitive weapons, and they were wearing black linen robes, similar to the costumes of ethnic minorities.
After those people came in, they stood on both sides of the steps, and then an old man with a skull-shaped cane appeared.
Mu Qingli looked at everything before her. Why did it seem so bizarre? Had she accidentally traveled through time? Had she stumbled into the territory of the natives in the primeval forest?
"You are a distinguished guest of the Wugui Clan. Now that you are here, why don't you stay at our clan? Why do you directly intrude into our forbidden territory?"
The old man with the cane stood there like a military commander, leaning on the cane in both hands, looking at Mu Qingli and the others and said.
"Is this how you treat your most distinguished guest? You tie him directly to the stone pillar?" Mu Qingli asked coldly.
"He should be punished for trespassing into our Wugui tribe!" said the old man angrily.
"He didn't break in on his own. He was lured in by you using a treacherous scheme!" Mu Qingli defended Long Xu.
