C118 To Explore the Netherworld

Xiao Nanfeng was about to leave when. . . The man crossed his arms and asked, "That's not right. There is only one path here. I don't think we have taken the wrong path, right?" He looked at his companion, who nodded as well. "That's right. This is the only place the kitchen leads to, and you haven't even reached the fork in the road yet. How did you get lost? Tell me! Who exactly are you? "

Xiao Nanfeng was shocked in his heart, thinking that his scheme had been seen through. When he should not have made a move, he suddenly touched the silver in his sleeve. He hurriedly took out some silver pieces from his sleeve and said, "Masters, this is my first time coming to such a big house. I just want to see what this house looks like. It's enough for me to brag in the future. I really didn't mean to barge in. "

The two of them had already raised their vigilance and held their hands on their sabers. However, when they saw the silver in Xiao Nanfeng's hands, they suddenly became polite. "So that's how it is. That won't do. Our Dugu family has a strict security. It's all thanks to you that you met us brothers. If you met someone else. . . I think you'll really have to bear the consequences!"

Xiao Nanfeng nodded and quickly retreated. Fortunately, there was no conflict, because he had seen many deacons not far away. If they were discovered, it would undoubtedly alert the enemy, and it would be extremely difficult to find out about Dugu Kuang and the others' conspiracy.

After bypassing these people, Xiao Nanfeng successfully sneaked into Dugu Kuang's bedroom. He was looking for a place to hide. The layout of the bedroom was very elegant, so he could not find any place to hide. He had to take a step back and pick a fake hill in the garden next to the bedroom.

This fake hill was different from other fake hills. It connected the entire garden in one go. In other words, the entire garden was a fake mountain. And the fake mountain did not stop there. It was connected together.

Xiao Nan Feng had taken a liking to this point. The biggest advantage of hiding here was that he could enter Dugu Kuang's bedroom through the fake mountain at any time. He could also sneak into the fake mountain from his bedroom at any time. This way, he could come and go freely.

However, he couldn't stay here for too long because he didn't have any food to eat. Before he came, they had already asked around and found out that Dugu Kuang had already returned home. If he had something to do with the whole incident, then there would definitely be some unusual movements in a very short period of time, because something very important was about to happen.

This matter was very risky, so it had to be done by someone like Murong Ke. Xiao Nanfeng instructed Murong Ke to find out where the dungeons of the martial arts masters hidden in Taihu Water System were. This mission was very complicated and difficult. Because there were no traces to be found first, it was not easy to find them. Secondly, they had to find them in a very short period of time.

If they found the place and successfully rescued those people, Dugu Xiu would definitely come back and discuss with Dugu Kuang. Once she found out that the two of them were discussing, she could conclude that Dugu Kuang was also involved.

At that time, it would not just be dealing with Dugu Xiu alone. They would have to deal with the entire Dugu family. The Dugu family was considered the number one power in Gusu, so it was very difficult to deal with such a family. Therefore, Xiao Nanfeng didn't want this to happen.

He only hoped that everything was done by Dugu Xiu alone, it had nothing to do with Dugu Kuang. It was too easy to deal with Dugu Xiu. At least, Xiao Nanfeng thought so. But how was this possible? Could Dugu Xiu do all the things by herself? Impossible.

Xiao Nanfeng waited quietly. After Murong Ke settled Shen Qiutong down, he went straight to Taihu Lake. Taihu Lake was very big. He only wanted to go to a few small fishing villages. Other than that, there was no other place for anyone else to live. Moreover, the terrain here was extremely complicated. It was a good place to hide people.

Apart from that, Xiao Nanfeng also noticed that in the past, the Devil Cult had set up a dungeon here to guard prisoners. If nothing unexpected happened, the location would be nearby. As for the exact location, he had no idea.

Murong Ke slowly walked along the winding stream. The road formed by the rugged rocks was not easy to walk. Although Murong Ke was slow, he had never wasted his time. After ensuring the most basic safety, he walked forward as fast as he could. If he was not here, he would have to find another place to search.

After passing through the stream, Murong Ke, who had almost tripped over moss a few times, finally arrived at a shrub forest. The shrubs here were very short, and some of the shrubs' leaves fell directly into the water. Murong Ke looked up and carefully studied the terrain. He suddenly realized that there were no traces of anyone passing by.

If there were, then the moss on the rocks could not possibly not have left any traces of people passing by. Murong Ke thought that he did not have much hope of finding the entrance to the dungeon here.

He yawned, wanting to end this place as soon as possible and change to another place, so he hastily walked a few steps forward and looked back. Just as he turned his head, he suddenly realized that something seemed to have fallen between the cracks of the stone. Under the sunlight, it appeared exceptionally bright.

Murong Ke squatted down and took a closer look. Suddenly, he was shocked. Wasn't this just a copper coin! A copper coin actually appeared in the cracks of the rocks in the wilderness. What did this mean? Could this really be the place where those people were hiding? And this copper coin was the clue that they had given Murong Ke?

Looking at the color of the copper coin, there was no bronze green. In this primitive forest where water was developed, if a copper coin was exposed to the air for a long time, it would inevitably produce bronze green rust and rust. However, this one did not have any, which meant that this one had only fallen recently.

Murong Ke's heart was beating fast. He knew that he was close to his destination. He was just short of an entrance. He looked around and chose to pass through the bushes to try it out. Because at first glance, The moment he pulled open the shrubbery. . . Murong Ke suddenly realized that these were not simple shrubs. These shrubs were actually a natural curtain. And outside the curtain was the forest. Within the curtain, there were more signs of activity.

These people were too cunning. They actually thought of such a place. If Murong Ke had not found the copper coin earlier, he would never have been able to open the shrubs and vines, much less come here.

There were some footprints scattered on the ground, and they were stepping lightly on the soil. They looked like adults, and they seemed to feel that there was no need to guard against this place, so they relaxed. Murong Ke smiled and walked in the direction of the footprints.

After walking for about two miles, the footprints suddenly disappeared. There was clearly still a path ahead. However, there were indeed no footprints. Murong Ke looked around hesitantly. Other than the thick bushes, there were only rocks of different sizes left. The moss on the rocks were intact. Obviously, no one would do anything here.

Murong Ke was confused for a moment. He touched around and thought that the door of the cave might be hidden behind a shrub vine. However, behind the shrub vine was either a denser shrub or an unbreakable stone wall.

He could not detect any signs of the cave entrance. When he thought about how Xiao Nanfeng had already sneaked into Dugu Manor, he became extremely anxious. He couldn't help but lower his head and look at the footprints once more.

Although the footprints had stopped here, the footprints here were slightly different from the ones in other places. Because the footprints here were clearly much deeper than the ones in the previous places. Murong Ke took a closer look and suddenly discovered that the footprints here were formed by overlapping footprints of many people.

These footprints were facing a big rock in front of him. Murong Ke's heart was hanging up. He took a closer look at the big rock. Although he could not see anything special about it, Murong Ke was sure that this place must be the entrance to the cave!

The rock weighed about two hundred kilograms. Murong Ke did not want to use brute force, so he drew the knife from his waist. He leaned forward slightly, then stuck the knife at the bottom of the rock. He fell backwards again. With the help of his own strength, the huge rock easily bounced back.

Murong Ke smiled, because there was indeed a door under the rock. This door didn't seem like a door either, it was just two green vines hanging on the left and right side of the door. At first glance, one would think that it was naturally formed on both sides, because the green vines extended down from the shrubs above. The design was really too elaborate.

Murong Ke could not help but take a deep breath. He was more interested in the people of the Devil Cult back then. How much effort would it take to design such an elaborate cave?

In fact, he was wrong. If a person was trembling in fear and wanted to find a safe place to live, he would definitely spend all his time thinking about it. It was the same for the Great Wall and the terracotta soldiers.

Murong Ke tentatively threw a small rock into the cave. When he saw that there were no traps, he jumped down. This place could only accommodate one or two people. No wonder there were so many footprints at the entrance just now, so that they could line up.

After opening the green vine curtain, Murong Ke took about ten steps. Suddenly, he felt a chill from behind him. When he turned around again, he found that. . . The road behind him had already disappeared into the darkness. A foul smell that was caused by the humidity assailed his nose. Murong Ke covered his nose. However, he could not help but feel nauseous. This kind of place was really too boring for ghosts to live in. To think that they could think of such a place.

When he thought of what had happened to Second Uncle, Murong Ke's heart began to tighten. What he was curious about was why no one came out to stop him. Could it be that there was no one guarding this place?

This was clearly impossible, because if so many experts were to be detained. . . First, they had to solve the problem of these people eating, so there would at least be people cooking here. Murong Ke walked forward more and more. The fear under your feet gets stronger. Every step he took was extremely careful, even though his eyes were wide open. He couldn't see anything.

Just as he was walking, the knife in his hand suddenly hit something. Murong Ke unconsciously took two steps back. He tried to touch it again. It was a person! How was this possible! There was actually a person standing there, and he actually did not know about it at all. He couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.

Murong Ke pointed his blade at this person and was about to speak when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. It didn't seem to be a living person, because his body was stiff. No wonder the man didn't react or breathe when the knife touched him.

For the sake of caution, Murong Ke decided to take out the fire piston he carried with him. There weren't many fire piston with him. So he didn't want to use it when it wasn't important anymore. Now it seemed like it was time. The reason he had to use them was very simple. He wanted to see who this person was.

The moment the flame lit up, Murong Ke was stunned. Although he didn't recognize this person, there was a deep bloody wound on his neck. The blood had already dried up and was imprinted on his neck like a cinnabar scar.

However, looking at his face and skin color, it didn't change in the slightest. This was equivalent to saying that he had died a long time ago, but he hadn't decayed. Murong Ke suddenly recalled the scene that happened in Five Phoenix Brothel that day. Those living corpses were still lingering in his mind. Could it be that they were also living corpses?

Murong Ke sucked in a breath of cold air and shook the fire piston. In a flash, he completely panicked. The entire cave was filled with living corpses. Not only in front of him, but also on the road that he had just walked on. They stood motionless, as if they were waiting for a unified command.

Murong Ke swallowed his saliva. The light of the fire piston was disappearing bit by bit. At this time, he had some intention to retreat. Once these people were revived. Even if he had ten thousand lives, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave this place alive.

This was because he had experienced how powerful these people were. No matter how they fought, they wouldn't retreat, because they were already dead. They couldn't feel any pain at all. After that, he had also considered how to deal with these people. As long as he cut off their corpses, he might be able to completely defeat them.

However, he didn't do so, because this was simply too time-consuming. If he wasn't careful, he would be ambushed by others. Especially in this cave. If they rushed forward and didn't fear pain, Murong Ke's fate would be decided.

Murong Ke thought about it and decided to take a step back. Just as he was about to turn around, a ray of light suddenly flashed in the corner in front of him. It seemed to be coming very quickly and leaving very quickly.

He stopped and turned around to walk towards that place. With the light from the fire piston just now, Murong Ke already had a rough idea of the route in his mind. He walked along that path bit by bit, and the world in front of him seemed to be slowly lighting up.

Murong Ke's heart was beating faster and faster, because he knew that he was close to the truth. After walking past that place, Murong Ke changed his strategy. He decided to stick close to the living corpses and walk forward. Although this method was disgusting, it was very effective because the road ahead was not clear. Only these living corpses knew it the best.

As long as they stood in line, it was not difficult to understand that the road was flat. Murong Ke's eyes kept staring forward. The light ahead was getting brighter and brighter, and his breathing was also getting more and more rapid. Just as he was about to reach the light, Murong Ke suddenly stepped on empty air. He had no choice but to use his Light-body Technique.

These movements were clearly seen by the people inside. They quietly retreated. Murong Ke knew that he had made a fatal mistake, so he could only rush over. But at this time, a person appeared in front of him.
