Chapter 160 Back Mountain Cave ([-]) Second Watch

Soon, Wu Chen cleared out a small hole that could allow people to slip in.

Holding a torch, Wu Chen was the first to enter the cave. He took a closer look at the entrance of the cave, but there was nothing special about it, and then he beckoned the people behind to come in.

The second year of high school came in last to take the torch, and Wu Chen blocked the entrance of the cave with stones. For Wu Chen, these stones were just a matter of picking up and putting them down, but for those people down the mountain, it would take some time.

Song Gu looked at the darkness in the cave, and felt very nervous, but he couldn't show it, so he asked a question that he couldn't figure out:

"There is such a weird thing guarding the entrance of the cave. I saw piles of bones at the entrance of the cave. You also said that thing can eat people. How did those men in black get in?"

Yu Shi'an, like Song Gu, was wondering what to say to distract himself from his nervousness. After hearing Song Gu's question, he immediately replied: "There are also those people who want to send people into the cave every month. How did they escape?" of?"

The sophomore held the torch for Wu Chen, turned his head and said, "There must be something worn on the body, maybe through the smell, maybe there is some kind of mechanism, if you want to count on that thing to recognize people, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it."

Yu Shian and Song Guqi nodded together.

Wu Chen blocked the entrance of the cave, turned around and took the torch and said, "Follow me closely, don't touch anything in the cave."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he walked ahead cautiously.

The entrance of the cave is a bit narrow, but after walking four or five meters, it widens immediately. A torch can't see the mountains on both sides at all. Wu Chen stood still and said softly, "There should be a mechanism to light a candle somewhere. At least you can see the road clearly, otherwise it will be troublesome for Su Chang to come back."

"If there is, it is at the entrance of the cave. Let's go back and look for it?" Senior Two asked.

Wu Chen said 'hmm', and was about to turn around when he heard a faint moan.

"Can you hear me?" Wu Chen hurriedly asked.

"Listen, what did you hear?" The sophomore asked nervously.

"It seems like someone is moaning. You can't hear it, because you are still far away from here, but the sound in the cave is so loud, you shouldn't be able to hear it!" Wu Chen couldn't figure out how big this cave could be?He could hear the sound coming from deep in the cave, but because of the close sound, he couldn't hear the exact location.

"Are you sure it's...a person?" The second year of high school asked again.

"Look for the agency first." Wu Chen turned around and returned to the entrance of the cave.

"Mr. Wu, wait a moment!" Song Gu stopped Wu Chen: "Is it possible that the mechanism at the entrance of the cave is not only for lighting candles, but what if another mechanism is a hidden arrow trap?"

Wu Chen said: "There is something guarding the entrance of the cave, people and ghosts can't get in, there will be no other things in this place, and only their own people can go in and out all the time, Su Chang is very confident in the evil ghosts, and won't come in again." Other."

Yu Shi'an hurriedly said: "The water in the Taoist temple is so miraculous, will others know about it? If it gets out, it won't be difficult for someone to break in."

Wu Chen hurriedly said: "The water in the Taoist temple is the same as that in other places, nothing special."

After all, Wu Chen held up a torch to check carefully on the mountain. It was like having a switch at the door when returning home. If it was true, it would mean that Su Chang hadn't been in the cave all the time, and he was alone. When returning to the cave.

Sure enough, after searching for a while, Wu Chen saw a smooth stone surface. He pressed it lightly without hesitation, only to hear a 'bang', and there was a faint light in the hole.

Wu Chen looked into the cave, and several candles were lit around the wall of the mountain.

Wu Chen stared at it. The cave was about half the size of a football field. The light wasn't enough to see the cave clearly. It was still dim. Wu Chen blinked a few times to get used to it for a while, and then looked carefully. Can't help but gasp.

The cave is not very high, it looks like an oval shape. There are dozens of pillars standing there irregularly on both sides of the cave. It is hard to tell whether they are made of stone or wood. There is a small channel like flowing water under the pillars. Winding around, there is a road in the middle of the cave, first downhill, then uphill after passing through those pillars, and there is another cave entrance.

"What's the use of placing so many pillars? It doesn't look like a decoration." Song Gu asked.

Wu Chen didn't speak, he was busy comforting himself.

The mountain in the cave didn't look like it was chiseled out, but it seemed to be formed naturally. Wu Chen couldn't see clearly and it was hard to judge. The vicinity of the mountain was clean, but he could see clearly the things between the pillars. Rao had seen bigger ones. In such a scene, Wu Chen's heart had to beat faster.

I saw countless ghosts floating between the pillars. It can be said that ghosts fight ghosts. Although the scale is not as good as that of the col, it is quite spectacular.

Wu Chen pointed to the group of ghosts below and turned around to share. He opened his mouth and only sighed.

The second year of high school keenly caught the helplessness on Wu Chen's face, and asked softly, "Is there a ghost in this cave?"

Wu Chen didn't answer, just sighed again, and said, "Don't move, I'll go over and ask."

Wu Chen said he went to ask, but in fact he just took two steps forward. The dim light in the cave undoubtedly made the scene in front of him a little more terrifying. It's so scary, colorful, and in different shapes, but fortunately, there are not many people facing him right now.

"Are you trapped by Su Chang's formation?" Wu Chen asked loudly.

The floating ghosts turned their heads to look at Wu Chen. Wu Chen took a step forward and closed his eyes, and hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

After waiting for a while, there was no movement. Wu Chen opened his eyes little by little, and quickly closed them again. He murmured, "Can't we unify the look?"

Just after finishing speaking, Wu Chen suddenly opened his eyes. He understood that those evil ghosts that can hurt people's lives basically have the same appearance, but ordinary ghosts have different appearances.

Wu Chen looked up at the top of the cave. The pillars didn't reach the top, and the flowing water below... In other words, the pillars and flowing water are part of the formation. No wonder the forest outside the cave is humid, and there is no river coming in or out. , that is, the water in the cave flowed out at will after leaving the formation.

"I break the formation, will you be able to leave?" Wu Chen asked again.

"Are you... talking to us?"

Wu Chen stared at the top of the pillar and nodded, "Yes! I can see you and hear you."

The ghosts were a little restless.

A ghost shouted: "If the formation is broken, we need to destroy our bodies before we can leave."

"Where are your dead bodies?"

The ghosts pointed at the opposite hole again.

Wu Chen frowned and asked, "Su Chang kept you in order to turn you into more powerful evil spirits?"

"I know this, he is training Yin soldiers."

After hearing these words, Wu Chen felt his hairs stand on end, and a picture immediately appeared in his mind: where the green-skinned and long-toothed ghosts passed by, corpses littered the field, and the soldiers were terrified and helpless...
