Mortal Mirror

Who would have thought that at this moment, in the darkness, the fox-wolf would suddenly rush out from behind a large tree. To Li Ergou's surprise, this guy's target wasn't him, but the yellow weasel.

The fox-wolf was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up with the white ape. Then, it leaped up and opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, biting down on the yellow weasel's leg. The yellow weasel let out a miserable scream as a large chunk of flesh was instantly torn from its leg.

After being injured, the yellow weasel was extremely enraged. It directly raised the bone flute in its hand and smashed it down on the fox-wolf, shouting, "Damn beast, you dare to betray your master! Go to hell!"

The bone flute in its hand suddenly grew larger, turning into a huge bone club over two meters long. It accurately struck the fox-wolf's head. Strangely enough, the seemingly light object instantly caused the fox-wolf to bleed from its mouth and nose.

The fox-wolf staggered a few steps as if it were drunk, then suddenly collapsed to the ground. Its legs stretched out stiffly, indicating that it was barely breathing and about to die.

Seeing this, the yellow weasel didn't stop to check the result but instead urged the snow ape to run faster.

Li Ergou chased after them. As he passed the fox-wolf, he saw a look of unwillingness in its eyes as it looked at him, as if saying, 'Avenge me.'

Li Ergou understood at this moment that this guy was probably also a victim. But even if you were a victim, you shouldn't have tried to bite my brother to death. Given the circumstances, I can't let you live.

So, he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. May you rest in peace."

Without thinking further, he didn't hesitate. With a flick of his fingers, the fish scale sword flew into the air and slashed down on the fox-wolf's head.

Upon seeing this, the fox-wolf couldn't help but widen its eyes, a look of surprise on its face, as if saying, 'I messed up.'

It immediately mustered all its strength and leaped up, trying to escape. After all that, this fox-wolf was actually playing dead.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Its head was severed by the flying sword, and it ran forward a few steps before falling down unwillingly.

At that moment, Li Ergou seemed to hear the fox shout, "You son of a..." He didn't know if it was a hallucination or what.

The fox died with its eyes wide open, staring at Li Ergou with resentment.

Li Ergou waved his hand and directly put its body into his Qiankun bag. After all, this flesh and blood was a good thing. If he took it back for his chickens to eat, they would definitely lay more eggs.

If the fox were alive, it would definitely be miserable at this moment, not even getting a decent death, its body not even remaining intact.

Zhao Si picked up the fox's head and said, "Master, if you don't want this fox's head, I'll take it."

Li Ergou asked in confusion, "What are you going to do with that thing?"

Zhao Si chuckled and said, "You don't know this, do you? Foxes are smart, and their brains are very nutritious. Their skulls can also be used to refine bone artifacts. I've heard that these kinds of bone artifacts are spiritual and very useful."

Li Ergou was speechless and quickly said, "Alright, if you want it, take it. Let's go quickly and catch up with them."

The two of them didn't hesitate any longer and quickly chased after the snow ape's footprints and the bloodstains on the ground.

The snow ape was incredibly fast, constantly running towards the peak of Old Man Peak. Li Ergou and Zhao Si chased closely behind, but fortunately, the snow ape was injured and couldn't run too fast.

Li Ergou and Zhao Si soon saw the guy's back. Zhao Si kept raising his bow and shooting arrows.

It must be said that Zhao Si's archery skills were super powerful. He could even shoot arrows at the snow ape while running. Perhaps it was because the snow ape's butt was too big and the target was obvious, but Zhao Si's arrows all hit the guy's butt.

The snow ape was hurt by the arrows and ran even faster.

But as they chased, they were about to reach the peak when they saw the yellow weasel take out something that emitted a blinding light, shining it into their eyes. This thing was very powerful, and the intense light instantly made their eyes go black.

By the time they recovered, the snow ape had disappeared before their eyes.

The two were confused and thought that the yellow weasel had used illusions again, so they became vigilant.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement. The two of them searched around. Zhao Si said, "It's strange. In the blink of an eye, they couldn't have gone up to heaven or down to earth, could they?"

As soon as he said this, a flash of light appeared in Li Ergou's eyes. "They can't go up to heaven, but they can go into the ground! Quick, look around. There must be a secret cave or something here."

Zhao Si thought that this was indeed the case. The two of them searched nearby. After a moment, Zhao Si exclaimed, "Master, come and see! There's something wrong with this big tree!"

Li Ergou immediately came to a large cypress tree. It could be seen that this cypress tree was huge, as thick as six or seven people could embrace. And at its roots, there was a layer of dense old bark. It could be seen that there was a slight depression in the bark.

Li Ergou reached out and sucked on the bark. The bark creaked and opened outwards, revealing a bark door. The two were amazed. This thing was really well disguised.

Fortunately, Zhao Si had good eyes. If you weren't careful, you wouldn't be able to tell in this dark place.

After the bark door was opened, it revealed a dark hole. The hole was huge and emitted a chilling air, like a man-eating mouth, making people shudder.

Zhao Si mustered his courage and said, "Master, I'll go down first, and you protect me from behind."

Li Ergou was moved. He didn't expect this kid to be so considerate. How could he let Zhao Si take the risk? He reached out and stopped him, saying, "I'll go. I have the Xuan Turtle Armor. Even if that guy ambushes me, he won't be able to hurt me."

Zhao Si didn't argue, but he was very grateful in his heart.

Li Ergou summoned his armor and walked inside. Zhao Si followed closely behind, the cold light of the Cold Sparrow Blade flickering, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

Li Ergou didn't expect that upon entering the tree hole, there would be a vertical shaft here. In the shaft, there was a spiral staircase leading downwards, paved with stone slabs. It was extremely dark below, like an abyss.

He quickly walked down. After walking down about two circles, he felt that he should have come down about forty or fifty meters. At this time, he could see a tunnel about ten feet wide ahead.

He walked forward for nearly thirty feet, and a cliff appeared in front of him. Below the cliff was a huge pit, and a red light shone from the pit.

Standing above, he could see that below was a huge circular platform. A circle of stone coffins was placed on the platform. The coffins had no lids, and one unconscious person after another lay inside. Roughly speaking, there were about twenty or thirty people.

And below the coffins was a groove, and drops of blood fell from the groove.

They flowed along the grooves on the platform to the red light in the very middle.
