Seeing the many scattered bones, Xiao Cheng and others couldn't help but look solemn: It seems that it's not that no one discovered the ruins here before, but that many groups of explorers who came after hearing the news were buried here.

I also thought about the screams I heard from my "companions" when I was climbing. Those guys broke away from the team and explored on their own. Now they are nowhere to be seen. I don't know whether they are dead or alive.

Speaking of which, this is a bit weird.

If the island was full of dangers, why did Xiao Cheng and his party go smoothly without any problems when others encountered them?

We are both going up a mountain, so it shouldn’t be a question of path selection.

The entire island is neither too small nor too big, so how could the terrifying unknown hidden in the mountains and forests just stay in one place?

It's not logical.

Or just good luck…

Wu Zhi licked his lips: "Brother Xiao, do you want to come in or not? We all listen to you."

Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice: "Let's take a rest here and wait for a while to count the number of people."

Calculating the number of people is easy, there are only a few people left.

Wu Zhi asked again: "Zhang and He, will they arrive first and have already broken in?"

This possibility does exist, after all, there are only one or two screams heard on the road.

Xiao Cheng looked at him: "You mean to tell us to move quickly to avoid others taking the lead and taking all the benefits?"

Wu Zhi did not deny it, he chuckled: "The ruins are right in front of us, it makes me feel itchy to look at them."

Xiao Cheng sighed: "I have been traveling for many years, met many people, and traveled with many people. Year after year, personnel changes, new people replace old ones, those people do not leave Daze, but all die.

I can survive to this day only because I have learned a very important lesson: be careful in everything.”

Wu Zhi looked very teachable: "Brother Xiao is right, let's just wait and see here. Anyway, if we are not in a hurry, it is impossible to fly away with such a huge ruins."

As he spoke, the sky gradually darkened, and gray fog rose and filled the surrounding area.

This island was originally shrouded in fog and looked ethereal, but now, the fog has become thicker, greatly obstructing the view.

The square in front gradually blurred, and stone pillars were erected in it. They looked vaguely ferocious, but they were actually relief shapes on the tops of the pillars.

These reliefs have different shapes, including birds, animals, and many ghosts and gods, which look strange.

Pan Daoren said in surprise: "Did you notice it? We have never seen so many reliefs before!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

It is indeed true. When everyone was standing here just now, observing the square environment, they saw scattered bones and rough-shaped stone pillars, but they did not notice the vividly carved reliefs on the tops of the pillars.

Was it careless neglect?

And perhaps, these reliefs did not appear originally...

As the thick fog envelopes the reliefs, the reliefs become clearer and clearer, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

"Look, that stone monkey seems to be alive. It just blinked at me!"

Wu Zhi screamed.

Pan Daoren shouted louder: "Be careful, these reliefs are all alive..."

As if to confirm his words, all kinds of beast roars came from the reliefs.

Immediately afterwards, many strange beasts stretched their bodies on the pillars, all pairs of eyes staring at Xiao Cheng and his party, as if staring at delicious meat.

"Be on guard, form formations, they are coming!"

Xiao Cheng shouted, making a defensive sword gesture with the long sword in his hand.

Everyone immediately formed a circle nervously, holding onto their weapons tightly.

Chen Youniao's sword was broken while practicing, and now his hands are empty. However, he has tempered his sword intention. As long as the intention is used, everything can be turned into a sword.

Unfortunately, this place is weird, with a large formation blocking it. Not only is the Yin Shen suppressed and unable to move, but even his thoughts are severely blocked, making it difficult to move flexibly.

In contrast, Xiao Cheng and others were not highly cultivated and relied purely on physical skills, but the martial arts moves they performed were not affected much.

"Roar!"

A one-horned ferocious beast suddenly rushed over, and the first person to bear the brunt was a tall warrior. He also used a heavy weapon, a nine-ringed sword.

Exhale loudly, raise the knife and drop it!

The blade struck the beast's head with a clanging sound, but it could not penetrate.

The warrior was backfired by the huge momentum and became unsteady, taking two or three steps back. Fortunately, the two people standing on his left and right took action in time, calling to the eyes and face of the vicious beast, forcing it to retreat.

But the second ferocious beast attacked from the other side. This beast had claws on four legs, a short body and a long tail. It looked like a crocodile but not a crocodile. It had a huge mouth and sharp teeth. It bit a warrior's spear in one bite.

, with a click, the fine iron spearhead was bitten off.

Although everyone cooperated skillfully, no one knew how many of these ferocious beasts there were. If there were only three or five, they could still withstand it. But looking at those reliefs, there were at least dozens of them. How could they fight?

No wonder the square is littered with corpses, most of which were eaten by these ferocious beasts hidden in the pillars.

The ferocious beast is not a monster, but a beast with the blood of the demon clan, so it has extraordinary speed and strength.

From beast to demon, there is a process of promotion and breakthrough.

When the age of mythology came to an end, not only Taoism declined, but so did the demons. The impact was even greater, and it became more and more difficult for them to become monsters. On the contrary, it was much easier for evil ghosts to form. After all, they did not rely on spiritual energy, but fierce evil spirits.

resentment.

Evil and resentment can be seen everywhere in the folk world.

Therefore, there are fewer demons and more evil spirits in the land of the current dynasty.

Not to mention monsters, even ferocious beasts are rare to see.

Xiao Cheng has been wandering in Yunmeng for many years, and has only encountered fierce beasts three or five times. But now, more than a dozen of them rushed out at once, as if this place was a nest of vicious beasts. And these beasts are much more fierce than those outside.

, the shape is weird, and I can’t even recognize what kind it is.

Xiao Cheng suddenly realized that since this place was a cave for the great demon, it was very reasonable to arrange for a vicious beast to guard it.

According to rumors, the great demon often raises many ferocious beasts. This is the same as the human race's nobles raising slaves and thugs.

It's just that the big demon is dead, why can the ferocious beast still survive?

This is probably related to the formation here. The ferocious beasts usually hide in stone pillars and sleep, and they will only wake up when they sense an outsider intruding.

After thinking about this, Xiao Cheng suddenly wanted to retreat and understood that it was impossible for them alone to obtain the Great Demon Cave. It was better to retreat as soon as possible and escape down the mountain. Return to Xianyi Town and report the matter to the Taoist Temple.

There are real people in the Taoist temple who organize a large team to come.

In this way, although you can no longer get your hands on the treasure hidden in the cave, you can at least get the relevant rewards and save your life.

Xiao Cheng, always cautious and calm, immediately shouted: "Everyone, nothing can be done. Before we are surrounded by ferocious beasts, we must retreat as soon as possible and go down the mountain."

However, before anyone could respond, with a cry, a giant shadow fell from the sky, about two feet tall, with black hair all over its body and eyes like lamps. It turned out to be a giant alien ape.

It landed in the circle of people, roared, and knocked one person away with one punch.

At this moment, the formation formed by everyone was immediately broken. No need to say anything, they immediately ran down the mountain.

But at this time, thick fog filled the air, and the path they came from was covered. There was no way to distinguish between east, west and north. Two or three people rushed into the thick fog, but soon their screams could be heard inside.

Xiao Cheng felt horrified and suddenly thought, how could he easily escape here?

The piles of bones in the square are proof of this.

When he looked up, he saw Chen Youniao and Huamei still standing there, with no intention of running away.

Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth and walked towards the two of them. Following him were Pan Daoren and Wu Zhi.

At this moment, they were the only ones left.
