In the dark cave, the undead seemed to have returned home, walking forward leisurely without any pause. The distance they advanced had long exceeded the 500 meters that Liu Xingxing had explored before. The undead still had no intention of stopping, and the cave still had not reached the end.
Click.
The crisp sound made Liu Xingxing's body stiffen. He slowly lowered his head and raised his foot to look. There was a broken bone under his feet!
"Boss!" Liu Xingxing looked in the direction of the bone and immediately shouted.
Li Ziyu, who was walking forward with the undead, was startled by Liu Xingxing's shout. He turned back in annoyance and said, "What's wrong? What a fuss!"
Liu Xingxing grinned awkwardly. He realized that yelling in a cave with a terrifying atmosphere would indeed scare people. But he still pointed to a place not far away and said, "Look over there, there's a body."
"Tsk, is it strange to have a corpse in the cave?" Li Ziyu muttered, and then he was stunned. If Liu Xingxing hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed it. Since entering the cave, he seemed to have never seen a corpse.
He walked back a few steps and came to Liu Xingxing, looking at the place he pointed. It was a skeleton that was mostly buried in the ground and had no flesh or blood. Judging from the appearance of the skeleton, it did not seem to be human, but should be a race like orcs.
Li Ziyu stretched out his hand and grasped a piece of dry bone buried in the soil. With a little force, he pulled the bone out. He called a skeleton undead and asked him to put his head closer. Then he looked at the dry bone in his hand with the light of soul fire.
"Judging from the color of the bones, it must have been dead for a long time. The color has changed, and the part I stepped on just now is brittle." Liu Xingxing came over, took a closer look, and said in a low voice.
After saying that, he looked down at the dry bones buried in the soil. He was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to sweep the ground twice, dug again, and immediately turned around, "Come here, undead, help me take a look!"
But... no undead paid any attention to him.
Liu Xingxing looked at Li Ziyu expressionlessly. Li Ziyu held back his laughter, pulled over a skeleton undead, took off the skull, and presented it to Liu Xingxing affectionately.
"Here, use this."
Looking at the skull in Li Ziyu's hand, with its upper and lower jaws opening and closing and cursing, Liu Xingxing's mouth twitched. After hesitating for a long time, he carefully took it and put it on the ground.
"What did you find?" Li Ziyu squatted aside and looked over curiously.
"There seem to be bones underneath." Liu Xingxing said as he continued to sweep the dirt on the ground while holding the skull in one hand for lighting.
Holding the compressed bone, he pulled it upwards with force. The soil was immediately turned over, and the thick leg bone was pulled out from the ground by Liu Xingxing. Because he used too much force, he fell to the ground with a fart and almost fell backwards.
Li Ziyu approached the earth pit left by the leg bones and took a look inside. His eyes suddenly fixed. Bones, and more bones underneath!
He stood up straight, frowned, turned his head and looked around, and had a guess in his mind: could it be that the ground around him is full of corpses?
"Boss, this isn't the bone of the corpse on the ground." Liu Xingxing held the thigh bone and could come to the conclusion without even comparing it, that the thigh bone did not match the exposed corpse at all.
"Keep going forward and see what's inside." Li Ziyu snatched the thigh bone, threw it aside, and signaled the undead to keep moving forward.
The cave ahead became winding, sometimes going up, sometimes going down. I didn't know how far I had walked, but I was definitely deep into the mountain, all the way to the end. It was a huge space, and even the soul fire of the undead could not illuminate everything around it.
It was dark and quiet. There was no road ahead, as if it was a monster's gaping mouth leading straight to the abyss. And below the abyss was where the singing and cheering that Li Ziyu heard came from.
Not knowing where the border was, Li Ziyu didn't dare to go forward for fear of accidentally falling in, so he directed the skeleton undead to go forward and check.
The completely fearless skeleton undead walked over carelessly, and then disappeared from Li Ziyu's sight with a loud noise.
Where did you go?
Li Ziyu's heart was already filled with anxiety, and he quickly sensed the presence of the undead. Fortunately, the undead were not in any danger and were still there. They just entered the abyss and sent a message that everything was fine and comfortable.
Wait, what the hell is comfort? What is ahead?
Li Ziyu could no longer suppress his curiosity and moved forward cautiously under the protection of the skeleton warrior.
Liu Xingxing hesitated for a moment, then with lightning speed, he plucked off the skulls of several skeletons and rolled their heads out like bowling. As the soul fire flashed, he could vaguely see his surroundings and was stunned.
The skull rolled forward, then fell into the abyss with a whoosh, falling and bouncing all the way down. The light of the soul fire appeared and disappeared, vaguely reflecting the scene below.
"Boss, Boss, Boss, don't go over there, really don't go over there, look at your feet!"
Li Ziyu, who was moving forward, heard Liu Xingxing's suppressed, trembling, and frightened voice from behind him. His teeth were chattering, and he seemed to see an extremely incredible scene.
Following his voice, Li Ziyu looked down, but it was pitch black and he could not see anything. He had to ask several skeleton warriors to bend down and use soul fire to illuminate the area.
He saw bones, bones covering the ground, or to be more precise, the ground was paved with corpses.
There is no soil around here. It's clearly a pile of bones!
Thinking of something, Li Ziyu leaned forward and looked at the darkness below. He saw dots of soul fire, and around the soul fire on the skull, there were flashes of white from time to time. That was the color of bones.
Li Ziyu was stunned.
No way, it’s not what I thought!
Oh my god!
He swallowed, took a step forward, tripped over something, tilted his body, and slid down the slope.
"Boss!" Liu Xingxing yelled and rushed forward desperately, trying to grab Li Ziyu's hand.
But just as he pounced, the "ground" around him collapsed. Liu Xingxing screamed and fell down with a loud crash.
“It hurts, it hurts…”
While screaming in pain, Liu Xingxing sat up, rubbing his head and the places on his body where he was bumped. When he came to his senses, he was startled and looked around quickly.
It was pitch black, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him. He subconsciously groped the ground around him and touched a long object. He held it and threw it away. He realized what it was, it was a bone!
I touched it again, and found a round object with a hole on it. Uh... a skull?
Oh my god!
Touch it again, it's still bones.
Liu Xingxing had given up hope, silently put down the bone, and screamed in a sobbing voice: "Boss! Where are you!"
Even though Liu Xingxing likes treasure hunting and often comes into contact with the undead after coming to the other world, it doesn't mean he isn't afraid of falling into a mass grave.
Human fear comes from the unknown.
"What the hell are you yelling about? I'm here!"
The voice sounded not far from Liu Xingxing, and then the light of soul fire appeared, illuminating Li Ziyu's figure.
