My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

The group of five returned to the entrance of the ancient tomb. At this moment, Li Yuanhao and the other two had serious expressions on their faces because they had heard the screams of the female ghost before.

Moreover, they saw that the female ghost appeared at a very short distance from them, no more than 5 meters, and they believed that it was not their illusion.

"Junior brother, do you know any rumors about this ghost cave?" Li Yuanhao asked.

"Never heard of it!" Chen Ze shook his head.

Chen Wenjin added: "I know a rumor that when Qin Shihuang was building his mausoleum, he dug up a human skeleton while digging a pit. The skeleton was tied to a tree with an iron chain."

"Then what?" Li Yuanhao asked.

"Then, this human-shaped skeleton was hung on the tree, so that everyone in the mausoleum can be monitored. Once someone breaks his oath and tries to steal or destroy the tomb, he can be killed instantly." Chen Wenjin explained.

After hearing this, Li Yuanhao and Fatty Wang exclaimed in admiration at the cruelty of the tomb owner.

But these things have nothing to do with them. Chen Ze and his team have only one goal, which is to rescue Wang Ruoxi as soon as possible and leave this hellish place.

Chen Ze, Chen Wenjin and Zhang Qiling walked in the direction Chen Wenjin said while paying attention to the surrounding environment.

No matter which direction the sound came from, they had to be extra cautious. After all, this was an ancient tomb, and if they encountered ghosts or something like that, even the three of them might not be their match.

Finally, after Chen Wenjin pointed out the direction, Chen Ze and others found the backpack that Wang Ruoxi had dropped.

It was already dawn, but the entire ghost cave was still pitch black. Chen Ze and his three companions could barely see the surrounding situation with the help of the faint moonlight.

"Master, what should we do? It's so dark, we can't see clearly!" Fatty Wang complained.

"Don't worry!" Chen Ze comforted.

Chen Ze took out a tinder and used it to illuminate the surrounding area.

Chen Ze discovered that the walls were covered with densely packed words, all of which were ancient Chinese characters.

"Master, what is written here?" Zhang Qiling asked.

"Ghost cave!" Chen Ze spat out these two words.

"What ghost cave?" Zhang Qiling asked again.

Chen Ze: "Ghost cave!"

Chen Ze repeated it, and then pointed to the pictures, which depicted some human-shaped objects and a group of people carrying a coffin towards the ghost cave.

After looking at these pictures, Chen Ze basically knew where this place was. Chen Ze had seen it in the movie "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is a place called Yincao Difu, which is the legendary entrance to the underworld.

But very few people have actually seen it, because legends about this place have existed since a long time ago.

But in the end it was confirmed that there is no underworld in this world.

So some people now believe that the records in Shan Hai Jing are not necessarily true.

"Is this really the legendary underworld?" Zhang Qiling asked in surprise. Although she studied history, she had never studied ancient history, and she didn't dare to delve into the mysterious things of ancient times.

When Chen Ze saw these patterns, his head was a little confused, and he said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be fake, right?"

"Let's go in. No matter what, the most important thing is to rescue Wang Ruoxi first." Chen Wenjin suggested.

Passed unanimously.

So Chen Ze took Chen Wenjin and Wang Ruoxi with him, and Li Yuanhao and Zhang Qiling were the last ones to leave.

The four of them walked towards the ghost cave together.

The air inside the ghost cave is very thin, and breathing is a bit difficult, but fortunately this ghost cave is not too spacious.

Chen Ze and others also encountered several shriveled skeletons along the way. It seemed that those mummies had wandered in from outside.

The deeper you go, the quieter it becomes, and you can't even hear the chirping of insects or birds...
This silence was creepy, but Chen Ze remained unusually calm.

"Chen Ze, be careful!" Li Yuanhao warned from behind.

Chen Ze: "Don't worry, I'm fine." After saying that, Chen Ze continued walking forward.

"Ah~"

At this time, Wang Ruoxi's screams came from behind Chen Ze.

"Xiao Xi, what's wrong?" Chen Ze turned around and asked. "I...something is wrapped around my feet!" Wang Ruoxi shouted in panic. Before Wang Ruoxi finished speaking, Chen Ze saw a giant python attacking Wang Ruoxi at a very fast speed.

However, the giant python's target was obviously not Wang Ruoxi, but Chen Ze who was standing next to her.

But Chen Ze was prepared. The moment the giant python attacked, Chen Ze dodged sideways and punched the giant python in the vital spot.

With a bang, the giant python was knocked away by Chen Ze.

"Hiss~" the giant python howled in pain.

However, it did not retreat, but quickly attacked Chen Ze. But how could Chen Ze be afraid of it? He kicked the giant python away with a sweeping kick, and then chopped the giant python at the seven-inch position with a knife, cutting the giant python in half.

"Ouch!"

With the death of the giant python, all kinds of shrill wolf howls were heard around, and Chen Ze and the others' ears were buzzing.

"Retreat quickly!" Li Yuanhao shouted quickly.

Everyone quickly evacuated the ghost cave.

There is a shabby stone tablet outside the ghost cave, with the words "Ghost Cave" written crookedly on it.

"This is the stone tablet of the ghost cave, and there are some ancient inscriptions engraved on it." Zhang Qiling said.

"I know a little bit about ancient characters." Fatty Wang said.

"Oh? You know ancient characters?" Zhang Qiling asked in surprise.

Fatty Wang smiled, then squatted on the ground and silently recited some ancient seal characters. After listening to them, Chen Ze and others suddenly understood.

"So the ghost cave is named using ancient seal characters. No wonder!" Chen Wenjin suddenly realized.

Chen Ze also nodded. The ancient characters they had just seen should have been used to warn future generations, but they did not expect that Chen Ze and others would accidentally break in.

At this time, a cry was heard from the ghost cave.

"Someone, I heard someone crying!" said Li Yuanhao.

"I heard it too!" said Zhang Qiling.

But apart from the howling of ghosts and wolves, there seemed to be no one else in the ghost cave.

"It doesn't sound like the voice of a living person!" Chen Ze analyzed.

"What should we do then?" Zhang Qiling asked.

"Let's go in and take a look first!" Chen Ze decided to explore the ghost cave again.

"Wait..." Li Yuanhao suddenly grabbed Chen Ze who was about to go in.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ze stopped.

"There's a smell of blood!" said Li Yuanhao.

"What? There's a smell of blood?" Chen Wenjin immediately ran to the edge of the ghost cave and looked down.

Just this one glance almost scared me to death.

All I could see was a pitch-black mass underneath. I couldn't see clearly what was inside, but the smell of blood coming from it was so real.

"Chen Ze..." Wang Ruoxi was a little scared.

Chen Ze: "Don't be afraid, it's okay!"

After saying that, Chen Ze took the lead and stepped into the ghost cave.

Zhang Qiling and Chen Wenjin looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and followed in.

"Chen Ze, I feel like we are trapped in some kind of illusion." Chen Wenjin said.

"Yeah!" Chen Ze did not deny it, because Chen Ze himself noticed it.

"Then...what should we do?" Wang Ruoxi was extremely scared.

Chen Ze: "It's okay, I will protect you two!"

As he spoke, Chen Ze reached out and grabbed Chen Wenjin's arm, protecting her behind him. (End of this chapter)
