Chapter 72 The Secret of the Water Cave [[-]]

"The whole body is composed of bones, but it can move freely and run like the wind. Could it be that this beast is a strange thing in the Soul Devouring Abyss, a beast-shaped skeleton?"

"If that's the case, how did this strange thing appear here? Why hasn't there been a word about this matter from the clan?"

The moon hangs high above the sky like a tooth, and the lake is shimmering and silent. Naturally, no one can answer Li Can's doubts.

With a light sigh, Li Can broke away from his contemplation. Since no one could answer this matter, he could only go to the cave to find clues.

When Li Can replaced the spirit stones for the formation plate and came to the bottom of the cave again, he took out the silk picture and took a closer look, then put it away and began to clean up the gravel.

In the silk picture, there is a cave behind the pile of rubble, and in the cave there are several mine tunnels all over it, intertwined with each other and it is very easy to get lost. Without the guidance of the silk picture, it is easy to be trapped in it and unable to return to the lake.

At the bottom of the silk picture, there are three black lines representing the intersection of the mine roads. The intersection point has been deliberately drawn, so the color is even darker and thicker. There are no other hints.

As for the corpse of the former patriarch and the 'return token' Li Can was not found, it seems that the corpse should be in the mine.

However, because the pile of rubble is so huge that there are dozens of feet away, Li Can urged the water snake to search for the corpse under the rubble to the best of his ability, and if he wanted to swim further, he would be unable to do so. Moreover, mana and spiritual consciousness are also consumed a lot, so they can only slowly clean up the gravel and move them outside the cave.

Cleaning up the rubble is hard work, even if the mobilization technique can only move some not too huge rubble, fortunately, Li Can doesn't want to clear them all, he just needs to create a path in the rubble pile that can swim through channel.

So Li Can spent five full nights, and finally opened a passage among the rubble piles that he could barely swim through.

When the last boulder in front of him was removed by Li Can with the repelling technique, revealing the dark cave behind, Li Can felt the extremely cold water gushing out of it, and if he swam into it, in order to resist the cold breath Protective mana will be consumed more quickly.

Li Can didn't enter rashly at this time, but calculated the time, and when he found that the spirit stones in the array were about to run out, he turned around decisively and ran away.

In the middle of the night on the sixth day, there was drizzle in the sky, which was slightly cool to the touch.

After passing through the pile of rubble and entering the cave behind, a mine tunnel with an extremely steep slope sloping down appeared in front of it.

The mine tunnel was extremely dark, and Li Can, who was fully on guard, could only wander through it cautiously. Fortunately, the mine tunnel was relatively safe, but he only found several decayed corpses.

Li Can used the water snake technique to rummage through these corpses, but unfortunately he didn't find what he needed. It seems that the corpse of the first patriarch is still deeper.

According to the effort of trying to escape for another meal, the terrain of the mine vein finally became flat, and after a careful search, Li Can finally found the intersection.

After sizing it up, Li Can found that the meeting place is quite spacious, and it can easily accommodate more than a dozen people.There are long-rotten torches inserted on the stone walls, and various pottery items for cooking and cooking are still left in the corners, but they have already been broken into pieces.

On the opposite stone wall, Li Can saw a crack that was narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. Entering it can only walk sideways.

Naturally, Li Can didn't dare to enter it rashly, so he used the water snake technique again. After a few breaths, a transparent water snake swam out of his palm.

The scene in the crack quickly appeared in his mind, and he saw that the inside of it was very tortuous, and the jagged rocks protruding from the stone walls on both sides were scattered in an orderly manner, like large crooked pincers arranged tightly, even giving Li Can a If the stone walls are closed together, it feels like a tight fit.

Seeing these, Li Can was naturally even more puzzled, and felt faintly in his heart that this crack was not made by nature, but was created by people with great magic power.

At this time, the water snake traveled quickly all the way and quickly swam across the twists and turns, and just after it turned around the last raised rock, a white light suddenly appeared in the water snake's vision, although it was faint, it was in the dark. And very eye-catching.

Li Can was taken aback for a moment, and at this moment, through the vision of the water snake, he also saw an extremely wide pool not far ahead, with algae all over the pool, and among the algae were faintly visible corpses. Densely packed, the sheer number makes one's scalp tingle.

Swimming closer, you can see that most of these corpses are huge animal skeletons, and the bones are all pieced together. They are of different lengths and thicknesses, but they can be connected together to give people a harmonious and natural look.

Li Can's sight moved along with the water snake's upstream. When it emerged from the water, he immediately discovered that there was a huge space hidden deep in this place, as if he was in an empty mountainside, which was too high to be seen and extremely dark. .

Turning his gaze, Li Can found a light shining in the distance. Looking sideways, he saw an extremely long stone step leading to the distance on the gravel bank, and at the end of the stone step was a white giant gate.

The giant gate stands in the shape of an arch in the stone wall, and the white soft light overflows and flows, as if there are inscriptions looming, but I don't know what lies behind the light gate.

But thinking of the countless animal-shaped skeletons in the pool, I'm afraid that the light gate is definitely not a good place, and the corpse of the former patriarch has not been found until now, maybe it has already entered the light gate?

Li Can thought for a moment in secret, then turned his gaze to the left side of the pool. Far away, there was a white waterfall flying down from the cave in the stone wall, falling into the pool and causing countless splashes of water. The steam was steaming, and there were rumbles, like thunder, without stopping.

On the right side of the pool, there is a gazebo on the shore of the gravel. Inside it stands a stone statue with hands behind its back, facing the pool in meditation. The shape of a bone.

"A Taoist immortal? Could it be that this place is actually an underground cave for an immortal?" Li Can was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and couldn't help thinking.

After Li Can's gestures changed and he made a few gestures one after another, the water snake swam under the gazebo on the bank, curled up in a ball, jumped suddenly, flew up and landed in the gazebo.

After the water snake landed, it coiled into a ball, tilted its head and stared at the stone statue. After a while, nothing unusual happened, and then the water snake stretched its body and continued to swim. In the blink of an eye, it came to the stone statue for a closer look.

Although this immortal old man looked kind, there were a few things that felt unharmonious. Upon closer inspection, Li Can finally discovered the clues.

It turned out that the incisors of the stone statue were slightly protruding, there was a crack on the upper lip, and the auricles hidden in the temples gave people a sharp feeling, but other than that, it was normal.

However, these small anomalies are irrelevant, after all, it is just a stone statue, and it is normal that the carving is not perfect.

But when the water snake swam around and turned behind the stone statue, Li Can, who was outside the crack, froze for a moment, surprised in his heart and said:

"One body with two sides. Behind this stone statue is a rabbit demon statue."

In the picture in my mind, the rabbit demon statue carved separately behind the stone statue has a pair of towering long ears, eyes wide open and awe-inspiring, a pair of sharp long teeth protruding from the protruding hare lips.

The body is stout and naive, with a pair of short limbs hanging on the chest, and the body is slightly squatting and sitting on the auspicious cloud. It is actually a vivid image of a rabbit demon ascending.

On the front of the stone statue, there is a fairy spirit, and on the back of the stone statue, the rabbit demon soars.
Could it be that this place is actually a big demon cave in the realm of transforming gods?But why are there so many animal-shaped skeletons in the pool?

It is said that animal-shaped skeletons can only appear in the Devouring Abyss, but why are there so many here?

What is inside the light gate?Is it the secret realm of the Great Demon Cave Mansion?Or is it another spirit devouring abyss that has never appeared in the world?
Li Can was at a loss for a moment, deeply afraid that he would accidentally enter it by mistake, and once he was in danger, there would be no room for turning around.

But at this time, a tingling sensation came from my mind, it was because the spiritual consciousness was consumed too much, and after thinking about it, the time was delayed a lot, it seemed that I had to turn around the lake and adjust my breath for a while before making any plans.
