Origin

Judging from the footsteps, this four-legged beast is not large and its pace is very slow. Moreover, the footsteps are only concentrated in a relatively fixed area and do not move around.

Since I didn't dare to use aura sensing, I couldn't determine the species of the four-legged beast and whether it had aura cultivation.

In the world's perception, beasts that become spirits are often proud of being able to change into human forms, but this is not the case in reality. Beasts do not look up to humans, at least not at this time. They prefer to use themselves when no one is around. The original beast body moves, so just because this four-legged beast has not changed into an adult, it cannot be denied that it is not a demon king.

Because it is a dry desert outside, the cave is also very dry, with no moisture or mold. The cave is very large, and there are many branch small caves outside the main cave. The so-called small caves are only for the empty main cave, but they are actually small caves. It's not small, there are branches outside the small cave, and the whole cave is criss-crossed with branches.

Wu Zhongyuan held his breath and carefully moved forward in stealth. At the same time, he carefully looked at the cave he was in. This cave should be a natural creation, and it has been repaired and transformed the day after tomorrow. It is somewhere between a cave where beasts gather and a house where humans live. A special pattern between houses. Because the cave is very dry and there is no moss growing, you can see that the corners of many fork roads are very smooth. This is not polished by humans, but is caused by years of living. The smooth areas are high and low. Different, some areas with smooth forked roads are no more than a foot above the ground, while some areas with smooth forked roads are only a few feet above the ground. This shows that there was more than one kind of beast that lived here back then.

The dry environment also completely preserved other things in the cave, including corpses and skeletons everywhere and a large number of broken swords and broken soldiers. Broken weapons and bones can be seen everywhere. He is not a forensic doctor, so he cannot classify the bones in detail. It can only be roughly seen that the bones in the cave are mostly beasts, and there are also human bones among them, but the number is not large.

There is no relevant written record of where Wudao’s lair was. What is known so far is that the Beast Clan is in Kunlun Mountain, the Demon Clan is in Sanxingdui, and the Ghost Clan is in Fengdu. As for the God Clan and Monster Clan, there is no discovery, but various signs indicate that This is probably the home of the demon clan, and the large number of bones and incomplete weapons indicate that fierce battles took place here.

For fear of disturbing the situation, Wu Zhongyuan moved very slowly. During this period, the sounds of footsteps in the distance were intermittent. Even if they appeared occasionally, they were only a few short ones.

Wu Zhongyuan had missed before, and he became more cautious this time. As he moved forward, he thought about the details of the upcoming sudden attack one by one, including how to draw the sword, how to approach, and at what angle to attack.

Walking a hundred feet forward, Wu Zhongyuan saw the end of the cave. At the end of the cave was a naturally made stone platform. The platform was also polished and carved. There was a huge snake head in the due north close to the stone wall. The snake head was It is carved from stone, with its mouth open and teeth exposed. Its shape is somewhat similar to the Zhu Jiuyin on the lintel of the orc altar.

But there is a difference. There is a large stone seat in the middle of the stone-carved snake head. It is more like a large stone bed than a seat, where you can lie down and rest, or sit upright to discuss matters.

This large seat is undoubtedly the seat of the Demon King. There are five more seats around the main seat. They are also made of stone. They are slightly smaller than the main seat, but much larger than the dragon chair in Zhongtian Hall.

The Demon King has five generals under his command: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The presence of a master, five auxiliaries, and six seats here further proves that this is the lair of the demon clan.

The sound of footsteps did not come from the end of the cave, but from a branch cave on the right. After a brief pause, Wu Zhongyuan did not immediately turn into the fork in the road, but continued forward to the end of the cave and carefully observed the picture belonging to The demon king's seat.

According to common sense, if the Demon King returns to his hometown, he will definitely come to his throne to take a look, and may even sit down to find out how he felt back then. If there are traces of walking or sitting here, it means that the sound of walking in the fork in the road is. Sent by the Demon King.

Due to being abandoned for many years, a lot of dust has accumulated in the cave. After careful observation, it was found that there were paw prints and footprints near the demon king's throne. The footprints were barefoot footprints. If calculated using modern shoe sizes, they should only be 35 yards. It was obviously a person. Woman's footprints. The paw prints are melon-shaped, which is a characteristic of canine paw prints. If it is a feline, it will be in the shape of a very round plum blossom.

There are also traces of sitting on the throne, and there is a complete and clear shape of a woman's buttocks. Two things can be determined from the traces. One is that this woman is petite. The reason why the tall and thin type is excluded is because of the combination of size 35 The taller a woman is, the bigger her feet are. This is true for most women. There are very few tall people with small feet.

One thing that can be determined through the impression is that the woman was not wearing pants, because the shape of her buttocks left on the seat was too clear, and even if she was wearing gauze, it would not be so clear.

After a brief observation, Wu Zhongyuan left the Demon King's throne and moved slowly toward the fork in the road where the sound came from. At this time, he was able to confirm that the Demon King had been here, and was probably in the cave on the fork in the road where the sound came from.

Not far away, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly discovered that a large amount of gravel had accumulated in the northeast corner of the cave. This pile of sand had obviously flowed down from the top of the cave and had accumulated very high.

Looking up, you can vaguely see a square gap at the top of the cave a few feet above the ground. The gap is not big, and there is a faint light coming through.

The stone wall is not straight up and down, but has a certain slope. There are a large number of claw marks on the stone wall leading to the gap at the bottom. These claw marks are very small and may have been left by Huang Mao. Wu Laoer was his own child back then. He urinated into the hole through the notch above, which angered Huang Mao'er and almost caused him to be electrocuted to death.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. In fact, rabbits are far less cunning than foxes. There is a word called suspicion. The biggest character trait of foxes is suspicion. He talked about this with the old blind man that day. The old blind man once guessed that the entrance to the cave was the chimney of the ancient city. Now look at it. This was not the case at first. Judging from the location of the cave entrance, the gap in the cave roof was probably an emergency escape route left by the Demon King for himself. Back then, this place should have been a dense forest, and the cave entrance was hidden in a secret area, unlike now. So obvious.

While moving towards the fork in the road where the sound came from, Wu Zhongyuan was distracted and sensed Huang Mao'er's location. At this time, Huang Mao'er had already entered the edge of the desert, and it wouldn't take long to get here.

When he arrived at the entrance of Dezhi Cave, Wu Zhongyuan stopped. The color of the rocks at this cave entrance was different from the rocks at other cave entrances. It was dark red. Before his return, he had read the books about minerals left by Li Lan Mountain. Li Lan Mountain is the one who has survived to modern times. The Taoist priest who wanted to kill him learned something about various minerals precisely because he read the books left by Li Lanshan. This dark red color is ocher, which is what later generations called iron ore.

The nature of a cave dug out of iron ore is the same as that of a sealed iron tool. Once you enter, you may be trapped.

Wu Zhongyuan had suffered losses before, so he became more cautious this time. There were branches in this branch cave. Previously, the footsteps of the four-legged beasts came from the depths of the cave. The situation inside could not be seen from outside the cave. He rashly It's too dangerous to enter.

Before going in, he had to figure out a few details. First, was there a demon king inside? Second, why does the Demon King make a sound? Third, why did Huang Maoer come here in such a hurry? Fourth, what was the motive for digging this iron ore mine in the first place? Also, if there is a trap inside, can I escape before the trap is activated?

Everyone knows that details determine success or failure, but there are still many people who ignore details. In the final analysis, it is because of laziness. There is a saying that "if you are lazy, you will be blind." People who are too lazy to spend energy thinking and figuring out details will definitely become deceivers. and ravaged prey.

First, observe the surroundings of the cave entrance. Like other cave entrances, it is very smooth. It can be seen that this cave was frequently visited by beasts in the past. It may not be used for living but for other purposes. In short, it is frequently used.

Moreover, there are no traces of gates on the upper, lower, left, right, and visible parts of the cave entrance, as well as the visible parts of the cave, which means that even if you enter, you will not be blocked inside.

As for the motive for digging this cave, it was probably just a coincidence at first. After all, iron ore veins like this are not man-made. However, after the excavation is completed, the demon clan will definitely take advantage of the fact that the cave is blocked from yin and yang. It can be used as a treasure house to store important things, or it can also be used as a prison to imprison prisoners.

As for why Huang Mao'er came in a hurry, it was probably because the Demon King had touched something, which made Huang Mao'er feel something.

Is there a demon king inside? If so, what is the demon king doing inside? This will only be known after entering.

Go in. If the situation is not good, you can teleport away.

During the period of time Wu Zhongyuan was thinking about it, there was no sound of movement. For fear of alerting others, he did not dare to use aura induction to search, so he could only wait patiently.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came again.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wu Zhongyuan slowly entered the cave. Before that, he didn't breathe for a long time, and his concentration was raised to the limit.

There are only two caves in this branch, one on the left and one on the right. The sound of footsteps came from the cave on the left. After Wu Zhongyuan entered, he adopted a sideways movement to ensure that he could see if there was any movement at the entrance of the cave at any time.

One foot, two feet, three feet, and finally I saw the scene in the cave on the left. The cave was long and narrow. There was a stone door two feet away. There were complex patterns on the stone door. In front of the stone door, there was a little red fox squatting. At this time, he was staring at the pattern on the stone door in a daze.

Seeing that the Demon King was really here, Wu Zhongyuan's blood surged instantly, and he immediately implemented the steps of the forward-looking plan in his mind. He showed up and drew his sword, held it behind his back, charged forward, and slashed down...
