Well of Mystery

Despite all the reluctance, Luo Weilu was pushed in front of Huayin.But before he realized that the Gu worm had failed, Hua Yin took decisive action.

"do not move!"

She reached out and grabbed Luo Weilu's collar abruptly to force him to bow his head, then pulled out the hairpin for self-defense and pressed it against his neck.

Jian Tong was stunned for a moment, but his first reaction was to question Luo Weilu: "You didn't give her a heart-eating Gu at all?"

"..."

Luo Weilu didn't answer, but judging from his expression, this was the real reason why Huayin woke up so quickly.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Hua Yin interrupted viciously: "If you don't want him to die, you should take ten steps back, quick!"

As she spoke, she exerted force with her hands, and the sharp hairpin tail wedged into Luo Weilu's neck bit by bit, no blood flowed out from the wound, but tiny Gu worms.

Knowing the consequences of being stuck by these Gu insects, but letting go now is tantamount to throwing herself into a trap, and Huayin is in a dilemma for a while.At this moment, Jian Tong, who also understood this point, also walked towards her.

"Go!" Instead, Luo Weilu pushed her hard.

Huayin was pushed staggeringly, and then she came back to her senses and began to run stumblingly.Jian Tong originally wanted to chase after him, but turned his head and glanced at Tang Yilang who was still standing aside, stopped abruptly, raised his hand and turned his wrist.

"ah--"

Huayin screamed, because she hadn't run a few steps when she was suddenly stopped by two "living dead" standing by the cave wall.They are so powerful, no matter how much Huayin kicks and kicks, there is still no response.

Is it really impossible to escape?Just when Huayin was thinking this way, the person who should come finally came.

Simply and neatly knocked the two "living dead" away, Jiang Chenglu rescued Huayin, and handed her into the arms of Bai Xiuqi who arrived later.

"Okay, everything's fine..."

Bai Xiuqi gently patted Huayin's back, soothing her emotions like a brother.On the contrary, Huayin has come to her senses, anxiously telling the clues she got from the conversation between Luo Weilu and Jian Tong along the way.

"There is a terrible thing in this cave... more than 60 years ago. It left the ghost ship outside and hid in the sulfur mine of Rosefire Island. More than 20 years ago, the miners dug it out again..."

"What exactly is that?" Bai Xiuqi asked.

"I don't know..." Hua Yin shook her head in pain, "But whatever it is. Jian Tong believes it can help him get that ghost ship. They've been away for a while, you guys have to hurry!"

Time is running out, so I can't go into details.The cave ahead still looks deep and long, and no one knows what will happen next.

Leaving Li Mian and Huang Xiuqi to take care of Huayin temporarily, Bai Xiuqi followed Jiang Chenglu and continued to run inside.The further you go in, the shallower the sea becomes, and soon it becomes a dry cave.

"Look!"

Bai Xiuqi's flashlight pointed to the sides of the cave wall, and the original pitch-black basalt was gradually being replaced by another gray-white rock.

"We have walked out of the South Island, and the real drifting island is in front of us." Jiang Chenglu explained.

There is still no trace of Jian Tong ahead, the only thing to be thankful for is that there is only one road in the cave.They ran forward for tens of meters in one breath.I found that the surrounding scenery was still quietly changing.

Although there is no light in the cave, there are plants growing on the cave wall.Leaves that do not require photosynthesis, with wonderful colors of purple and blue, hang from the roof of the cave, or grow fluffy on the cave wall, and there is a refreshing fragrance in the air.

Being in such a wonderful environment.The originally anxious and tense mood also unknowingly relaxed.

"This is a little bit like overseas fairy mountains!"

Jiang Chenglu muttered, "I never thought there would be such a good place hidden in the belly of Rose Fire Island."

Bai Xiuqi ignored him, and glanced around with the flashlight on his own, and was shocked when he saw it.

"grave?!"

"What? Where?!" Jiang Chenglu immediately looked over.

Indeed, just five or six meters away from them, there was a semicircular grave hidden among the soft vegetation.Because the cave floor is hard, the mound is almost just a small bag of shells and broken sand on the flat ground, and it seems that a slide has occurred.

Who will be buried in this isolated paradise?

The crude wooden tombstone has fallen to one side.You can vaguely see the words "Tomb of Immortals" written in red paint on it.

Could it be that the gods from the ten continents in the world are really buried in the tomb?

Bai Xiuqi's flashlight scanned the grave back and forth.A little reflection quickly caught his attention.

"What... scales?"

He bent down and picked up a coin-sized strange flake with pearls on the front and back from the pile of shells. It looked a bit like the dragon scale on Jiang Chenglu's body, but it was several sizes smaller.

Jiang Chenglu also came over to take a look, and frowned after reading it, thinking about it, followed by a flash of inspiration.

"...Do you still remember that oil painting of your grandfather? That oil painting of Liuli Island!"

He didn't wait for Bai Xiuqi to respond, and continued directly: "The thing in the painting looks a bit like a shark. Does it look like the scales on its tail?!"

When he mentioned this, Bai Xiuqi immediately recalled that the mermaid looking at Rose Fire Island from a distance in the oil painting seemed to have similar scales.

"So. This is the mermaid mound?"

"It doesn't have to be a mermaid, maybe something similar to a mermaid came to this sea area with the wandering island. Before humans invaded this island, it should have lived here. The so-called Sea God Cave, in fact That should be where it hides."

Jiang Chenglu sighed a little again: "It's really desolate when you get a glimpse in the painting, but when you meet, you become a lonely grave."

"Now is not the time to be sad." Bai Xiuqi finally returned to the topic: "Why did Tang Yilang bring Jian Tong to the Yuren Cave?"

Just standing here and thinking about it is impossible to come up with an answer.After delaying for a while, the two quickened their pace and started to run.After leaving the Shenxian Tomb, about 30 meters later, the flashlight hit a high gray-white limestone wall from a distance.

Here is the end of the cave.

Bai Xiuqi carefully looked up, down, left, and right, only to find that under the high limestone wall was a pool of water, deep and bottomless.Could it be that Jian Tong and the others sank into the water?

Just as they were wondering, they suddenly saw a layer of ripples appearing on the pool, and it turned out to be strands of bright red blood floating out of the water.

----

"That's it."

Tang Yilang wiped off the water from his face, stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

Jian Tong was helping Luo Weilu get up from the water, neither of them had any lighting tools.However, the surrounding area is not completely dark at the moment.

They were in a completely enclosed white rock air pocket, and strange stones emitting faint green light were inlaid in the damp rock wall.With this layer of weak light, one can see that the ground of the cave is actually covered with a layer of shells and broken corals, flickering.

All of this is obviously not formed naturally.

Treasures are everywhere, but Tang Yilang's gaze stays above the air pocket.There actually grew a pitch-black cocoon as tall as a person.

"Wei Lu."

Jian Tong called the name of the person around him, grabbed his hand, and led him to touch the cocoon.

Judging from Luo Weilu's expression, he obviously hated such touching.But there was no choice, and he knew what he had to do next.

A palm-length purple-black Gu worm slowly crawled out from his sleeve, bit through the cocoon and got in.There was only a sticky sound in the cocoon, and then everything fell silent again.

Jian Tong helped Luo Weilu aside to sit down, then turned to look at Tang Yilang.Tang Yilang sighed, but he didn't act accordingly as agreed earlier.

Leaning against the rock wall beside him, he rummaged in his pocket and found a pack of soggy cigarettes.Take one and put it directly in your mouth to chew.

"You regretted it?" Jian Tong looked at him expressionlessly, as if not surprised.

Tang Yilang was not in a hurry to defend himself, he was still chewing the shredded tobacco slowly, and after a while he spat out a mouthful of dregs, and asked Jian Tong: "Did you see the immortal grave by the roadside when you came here just now?"

Without waiting for Jian Tong's answer, he continued talking on his own.

"I built that grave with my own hands. There is a woman buried in the grave, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life... No, I can't say that she is a woman, she is a fairy, and she sealed up the monster in front of you Fairy."

Having said that, he stopped and laughed a few times, a faint light flickered in his eyes, but unfortunately it went out again soon.

"It's a pity that she died the second day after I met her... It can be said that I killed her. In order to lock up this monster again, she was already seriously ill and eventually died of exhaustion. Before she died, she told me that this disaster was caused by me, and I have to be responsible to the end. So, from then on, I became the only guard on Rose Fire Island, guarding the cave in this cave. Monster. At the same time, I am also a prisoner, and I continued to undergo labor reform on this island because of my mistake back then. But who knows, now it is just another mistake..."

"Enough." Jian Tong had no intention of listening to him continue talking, and interrupted bluntly: "I just want a word from you now."

Tang Yilang laughed because of his impatience.

"Do you think I brought you here because I really intend to cooperate with you? Even if I get this Rose Fire Island, so what? As long as I feel guilty in my heart, the world is just a bigger cage. "

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled secretly, and pushed away part of the shells on the ground with his slippers-wearing feet, revealing the huge spell circle painted with red paint on the rocky ground.

"As a boring jailer, during this period of time, I have learned a lot from the experts on the island."
