Xue Li Yang threw the signal torch into the well mouth, and saw the dazzling light ball slowly falling down. It was estimated that it was no less than 40 to 50 meters from the well mouth to the bottom of the cave.

The torch did not go out after falling down, obviously there was no water.

"No water."

"What should we do now?"

"If we can't find the underground river, our water source will run out."

Yu Qi and others looked solemn. If there was no water in the desert, they could only wait for death.

"Stop arguing!"

Mu Furong was annoyed by their arguing and couldn't help but scolded.

"But there is no water - no more talking."

Yu Qi saw Mu Furong's cold eyes, and thought of the situation of stringing people together in his mind, so he immediately shut up and dared not say a word.

The Jade-faced Fox was also anxious.

Seeing that Lu Feng and his men were not panicking at all, she also controlled her emotions and followed Lu Feng closely, wanting to see if they had any way to break the deadlock.

Then.

She saw Lu Feng observing the stone platforms around him.

Each stone platform had two boat-shaped coffins, and in the coffins were dried corpses wrapped in fish skin.

The heads were roughly facing east, and they were all lying on their backs with their limbs straight.

The fish skin wrapped around the corpse had a curled cloud pattern as a whole.

The corners were spliced ​​with fine scale-patterned fish skin, and the seams were sutured with fishing lines, leaving only the head exposed, with a distorted face, maintaining the desperate struggle before death.

The Jade-faced Fox was thoughtful.

"What kind of burial method is this?" Yingzi asked curiously.

"This is a temple, and the dried corpses in the coffins are all used to sacrifice to the cave god... the fruit of living people!" Lu Feng said.

"The fruit of living people?"

"Living people used to sacrifice to the cave god."

"Living people sacrifice?"

Yingzi immediately understood that it was a different name for blood sacrifice.

"The relief on the stone platform tells that for thousands of years, the people in Yuansha Ancient City have eaten the fish in this holy well."

"But in their opinion, those fish should belong to the cave god."

"So they wrap living people with fish skins and throw them into the holy well year after year to appease the anger of the cave god."

"Cave god?"

"Maybe it really exists, or maybe it is a simulation of some inexplicable phenomenon."

Yingzi stopped asking after hearing this. There were too few clues to determine the specific situation.

"Let's go down the well."

Lu Feng came to the wellhead and jumped in directly.

There was fine quicksand under his feet, and he sank wherever he stepped.

The rock wall several dozen meters above the head is shaped like a dome, with layers of giant rock wrinkles, which may have existed for hundreds of millions of years.

The huge cave extends forward, and the searchlight cannot reach the end.

There is also a pungent smell floating in the cave.

"It stinks."

Wu Chan frowned.

"It smells like dead fish." Mu Furong said.

"This is all quicksand, where are the fish?" Yingzi said.

"There are really fish."

Lu Feng squatted down, grabbed the sand with both hands, and dug outA strange fish as big as a door panel appeared. Its mouth opened and closed, its fins and scales fluttered, and its eyes glared angrily.

"Oh my God!"

Yingzi was dumbfounded.

Mu Furong also opened her mouth in surprise.

There are actually live fish in this sand cave?

Wu Chan and Shirley Yang were slightly surprised. They had seen fish in the desert before and knew that there were fish that could survive in the desert.

"I have heard of fish that survive in the desert, but this is the first time I have seen one." The Jade-faced Fox was full of surprise, "But I have never heard of such a big one."

"Great! We can eat fish when we don't have water."

Yu Qi and others were surprised and happy, and they were so excited that they dug into the stream.

This time they dug out several more big fish.

"Fuck, there are more!"

"Look again!"

Just as they were digging, dozens of quicksands suddenly bulged, and thousands of big fish emerged from the quicksand.

The school of fish formed a spectacular spring, countless big fish jumped into the air, and then fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Fuck!"

Yu Qi and his friends were dumbfounded, their eyes were dull.

The places where Lu Feng's searchlight could reach were all fish with white bellies turned upside down, big and small, densely packed, covering hundreds of square meters of ground.

"What's going on?"

Yu Qi and his friends turned pale. One or two might be a miracle, but with thousands of big fish, the situation was not right. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Is there really a cave god?"

The Jade-faced Fox couldn't help but doubt it at this time.

"No." Lu Feng said.

"How can you be sure?"

"There is an underground river deeper in this ancient well."[]

"There are many holes connecting the underground river to the upper sand cave. At a certain moment, the erupting geyser will flush the migrating fish (bhec) to the upper sand cave."

"When the geyser stops, the quicksand will block those holes again, and thousands of big fish will stay in this sand cave waiting to die."

"So that's it."

The Jade-faced Fox was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly thought of something: "Where are the fish carcasses from the past? Are they all buried by the flowing water?"

"Eat them."

"Cave God?"

"Sand bugs, scavenging beetles that live in quicksand."

Sand bugs have a spindle-like body, with two digging feet in front that are covered with serrations, thick and powerful hind feet, and a hard carapace. They appear in groups under the quicksand.

"Don't stay here, stay away from the fish school. The sand bugs will come soon and treat us as food." Lu Feng said.

The Jade-faced Fox's face changed when he heard it: "Go quickly."

"Let's go."

Shirley Yang led the way in front.

Yingzi and Furong followed.

Lu Feng and Wu Chan walked at the back.

It would be a waste to leave these fish here, so Lu Feng collected some of them into the system space as food for the black python and pheasant neck.

Not long after they left the fish school, tens of thousands ofThe sand maggots of the plan emerged from the quicksand like a black tide and swarmed towards the school of fish.

No fish bones were left wherever they passed, and they ate most of the fish in the sand cave in a moment.

"Horrible."

Shirley Yang couldn't help but think of the desert marching ants. Wherever they passed, no one or animals were left, only white bones were left, which was extremely terrifying.

"Why don't you leave?"

The Jade-faced Fox was a hundred meters away from the sand maggots, but still felt very unsafe.

"Sand maggots also have natural enemies. I want to get a few of them."

Lu Feng remembered that there were many underground scavengers here. These strange beasts were huge and could serve as food for Bai Long and others.

As he was talking, he saw more than a dozen scavengers crawling out of the cracks in the cave. Each of these scavengers was as big as a calf.

There were more scavengers crawling out of other cracks in the rocks.

"I'll go catch some, you wait a moment."

"I'll go catch some too."

Mu Furong said excitedly.

"Don't."

Mu Furong's Nine Deaths Shocking Mausoleum Armor has corpse poison on its surface. If she catches the scavengers, she will let them carry the corpse poison. White Dragon and Blue Dragon may be able to withstand it, but it's hard to say for the others.

"Golden Light Curse."

Lu Feng raised his hands and pressed them down suddenly. More than 30 golden lines as thick as hemp ropes rushed out in different directions.

In an instant, more than 30 scavengers were tied up, dragged directly in front of them, kicked to death and thrown into the system space.

"Let's go." Lu Feng said.

Just after walking more than a hundred meters, everyone stopped again.

"We are in trouble again."

The Jade-faced Fox looked at a large earthworm in front of him with a very depressed expression: "We seem to have encountered a golden ring sandworm."

It has no head, face, hands or feet, and has hooked fangs in its belly. It is about the thickness of a rice bucket, more than ten feet long, red as blood, and has golden rings.

The mist it spews out is red like cinnabar, green like bronze, or white like silk, colorful.

Once a person touches it, he will immediately become numb and swollen!

The number of these golden ring sandworms is several times more than that of sand bugs. They are all on the road ahead, spitting poisonous gas on the sand. .
