Chapter 218 Living Human Skin
Chapter 218 Living Human Skin
The woman passed through the wall directly. Chang Qing hesitated for a moment and followed her.
What comes into view is a huge cave, which is completely black. The deep dome is inlaid with many glowing beads. The hazy white light is pouring down from above, but in this dark environment, it reveals a somewhat eerie gloom, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
The place was shrouded in a mysterious and eerie atmosphere, as if something was hiding in the dark and staring at them quietly, and a bone-chilling chill struck their hearts.
And those who were walking in it seemed as if they were about to be swallowed up.
Changqing discovered that his spiritual consciousness could not penetrate his body. There was a force here that was blocking the spiritual consciousness.
The empty sound of footsteps echoed, making the eerie atmosphere even more solemn.
"What on earth could have caused that drop of blood to resonate?" Chang Qing was on guard while looking around, trying to find the answer.
The two walked deeper into the darkness, and a huge blood-red altar suddenly appeared in their sight.
The patterns carved on the altar are extremely ancient. In every corner of the altar stands a dusty stone statue, holding sharp weapons and wearing armor. In a trance, these stone statues give people an evergreen feeling. They don't look like stone sculptures, but more like living people.
Looking up along the huge staircase, one can see all kinds of bloody offerings scattered there, representing something they are worshipping. Even after ten thousand years, these offerings are still fresh.
And right above the altar, the huge ebony coffin was suspended in the air by bronze chains, and an ominous atmosphere continued to permeate down.
The two men stopped in front of the altar, and a curtain of light blocked them.
"Formation?" Chang Qing asked.
Chang Qing took a few steps back and looked at the transparent formation that covered the entire huge altar with some surprise.
"Yes, this is the purpose of calling you here, to break this formation." The woman nodded.
Changqing nodded and flew up to observe the entire formation from a distance.
However, just as he took off, Changqing felt a chill running up his spine and his heartbeat quickened rapidly.
Changqing discovered the stone altar on the top altar. In addition to the offerings, there was another thing blocked by the offerings, which had not been noticed before.
There was only a bloody human skin with some flesh and bones still on it. The skin was still covered with drops of bright red blood that were slowly dripping down, and the eyelashes were still trembling.
"Living human skin?!" This scene made Chang Qing shudder, and he felt that the air around him became heavy.
"Is it the skin of the person in the coffin? Why do they not only suppress it but even peel off its skin!" Chang Qing felt a little uneasy.
Chang Qing immediately decided to pick up the wood and leave quickly. This place was too weird and he would lose his life if he was not careful.
His eyes lit up as he looked at the formation. The complexity of the formation was far more complicated than the formation in the dry well.
Changqing sat cross-legged, and it was estimated that it would take several days before he could figure out the structure of the formation.
At the same time, the people who entered the passage above were also running around like flies on their brows.
Naturally, some people have also encountered the road-eating lice.
"I didn't expect this tunnel to be like a maze. There's nothing at all. I really don't know what they're trying to achieve by coming in!" Two purple-clothed disciples of the Luosu Sect complained.
"That's good. Maybe if we come across a treasure, we can take it. Otherwise, those people from the first-class sects won't be able to survive." Another disciple of Luosu Sect said.
"Yeah, that's fine too."
"Wait! Did you hear anything?" the disciple asked, tilting his ear.
"Is there a sound?" Another disciple also listened carefully.
"Is this... a buzzing sound?"
"Could it be that we have finally found some treasure?" said the disciple.
The other person was a little worried: "It might still be dangerous. Our senior brother is not here, and our strength is not enough! How about calling more people?"
"Are you stupid? Don't you understand that wealth and honor come from risk? The eldest brother has been missing for so many days. If he wanted to come back, he would have come back long ago. He must have died in the mouth of a corpse. Besides, there might be inheritance inside. By then, you and I might become the eldest and second brothers!"
The disciple said with a look of disappointment.
"makes sense!"
"Did you hear it? It seems like the buzzing sound is getting closer and closer to us!"
"It's true. It proves that we are not far from the treasure. Let's go there quickly."
The two of them flew up and quickly headed to the depths of the dark passage.
Soon the two stopped walking. There was a constant buzzing sound and a light blue fluorescent light. The two were a little curious.
"What kind of bug is this? It looks quite ferocious!" A man grabbed a bug and wanted to observe it, but a bloody cut appeared on his finger as soon as he grabbed it.
"Hiss~ I give you face!" The man threw the insect in his hand to the ground and stepped on it twice, and then he felt relieved.
"I'm talking to you, why are you silent?" Seeing no one answering, the man turned around and looked.
What I saw made my heart beat faster than my throat. Cold sweat instantly soaked my back. I almost peed my pants from fright.
There were no fellow disciples around him. Only a half-eaten skeleton was left without any flesh or blood. If the jade pendant around his waist had not been eaten, he would not have been able to recognize him.
In a few breaths, he turned into bones without even uttering a scream.
Looking at these insects, he swallowed his saliva, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was about to stand up, but he stumbled.
Looking down, he found that his feet had disappeared without a trace. The moment the blood fell, it was swallowed by the insects. He wanted to scream, but the insects crawled through his mouth towards his internal organs.
When he was dying, he finally understood why he could not hear the cries of his companions. It turned out that they died in such pain and helplessness, and in terror.
After a few more breaths, nothing was left on the spot, not even a bit of bone residue.
Only a buzzing sound remains here.
Naturally, the louse accepted all the feasts that were delivered to their doorstep.
......
The turmoil in the outside world naturally could not affect the two people here. After a few days, Chang Qing let out a long breath and stood up.
"Finally cracked it?" asked the woman in purple, standing up.
Chang Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "The millions of changes contained in it may not be solved even after decades."
"I was so happy for nothing. I thought I had cracked it!" The woman was a little disappointed.
"But..." Chang Qing paused and looked at the woman.
Seeing Chang Qing was hesitant to speak, the woman said, "But what? Hurry up and tell me!"
Seeing the woman's anxious look, Chang Qing felt very happy and said:
"Although the operation of the spiritual power of this formation is extremely complicated, we can use the power of the terrain here and inject the dirty spiritual power into it to stop the formation for a moment. But..."
Chang Qing seemed to have some concerns, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "It takes me half a quarter of an hour to guide the filthy spiritual power into the formation, but the formation seems to have a defense mechanism. Once I come into contact with the formation, the defense mechanism will be activated immediately."
"What defense mechanism?" the woman said.
Chang Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know. I will need you to protect me when the time comes!"
The woman nodded and said, "Let's get started!"
"No hurry, I want to ask the girl one thing." Chang Qing's casual expression disappeared without a trace, and he stared at the woman with sharp eyes and asked.
