Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

There are still people in this cave!

Yu Xiuhai said: "Go on."

"Yes!"

Everyone continued to walk in, and after a while, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them.Although there is no light in the cave, under the reflection of the fire, it can be seen that this is a nearly circular cave, which is much wider than the previous passage in terms of height and width.

There are also many vague figures in the cave, and if you look closely, there are really living people.

"Help……"

A weak cry for help floated out from the shadows, and Yu Xiuhai ordered people to check carefully, and sure enough, they found a dozen people, all of whom were dying.Some of these people are villagers in the mountains, and some are residents of Yongping Town and Qingyan County.

After the search was over, Yu Xiuhai assigned some people to carry the people out of the cave, and the rest followed them to continue exploring inward.

Moving forward, they rescued some people one after another.At the same time, some strip-shaped protrusions began to appear on the cave wall and the ground, criss-crossing.If you look closely, it looks like the root system of a plant.And the air in the cave is getting drier instead, not as damp and cold as it was when I first came in.

As everyone stepped deeper, the root system became denser and thicker, until they were no longer confined to the stone walls of the ground, twisted and knotted and grew freely in the underground caves, and the passage became difficult to walk.

"Be careful."

Li Quan clenched the horizontal knife in his hand and reminded everyone.

Yu Xiuhai nodded, and left some people on duty along the way.

Suddenly, dots of fluorescent light appeared in the air.The cold white light has hints of green, floating without wind, making the already quiet cave even more strange.

"God, what is that?!" A sergeant couldn't help but whispered.

At the end of the passage, a huge spherical lair appeared in the inexplicable light, like a giant monster quietly dormant, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.It turned out that the nest was formed by the entanglement of the root system, and strange fruits were vaguely strung in the root system. When I got closer, those fruits were actually human bodies!
The dots of will-o'-the-wisp phosphorescence and the stale and suffocating smell indicate that there are countless corpses here, and perhaps there are still many bones hidden in the invisible darkness around them.

And in the center of the nest, near the root, there is an oblong object emitting a faint light.The thing was about the size of a child, and its head and torso were faintly discernible. It seemed to be a giant insect like an ant queen, but the lustrous luster covering its whole body gave it a jade-like texture.

Numerous roots entangle it and pierce it. It is like a treasure carefully guarded by these huge roots, and it is sucked ruthlessly by them like an inexhaustible nourishment.

Yu Xiuhai also couldn't suppress the horror in his heart and was dumbfounded.

"This is……"

"The 'Saint' of the Longevity Sect is good at using Gu insects. I think this may be the Gu mother." Li Quan waved his hand and said in a low voice, "There seems to be someone below. Put out the torch first."

There were less than 50 remaining sergeants who followed. These people were well-trained, and after Yu Xiuhai's approval, they quickly extinguished the fire and quietly hid in the dim light.

The inner wall of the cave was not smooth, so Yu Xiuhai led people to stay on it, while Li Quan led half of the soldiers to find the unevenness and slowly climb down.

As he approached, among the densely packed roots, Li Guan slowly discerned that there was a person sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the cave. He couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he only vaguely thought it was a woman.

The woman seemed unaware of their arrival.She made a few strange gestures, the roots moved slowly, and then pointed to a certain place purposefully, ready to go.

And in the exposed gap, the directions where the tips of countless root systems are aligned——

The moment Li Guan saw the hanging figure clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost fell off the cliff.

Bai Sanxiu!
