Yan Shaoqing felt that Xu Ruyan's attitude was a little too enthusiastic, and there seemed to be a strange aura about him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

He raised his eyes and looked at the gurgling streams of water falling from the top of the cliff, and another guess gradually floated in his mind.

"Drag all these coffins out again and check them again." Yan Shaoqing said to the other players in a concentrated voice, "It's just that this time it's not about checking the coffins, but checking the stone wall behind the coffins to see if there is any hidden space. "

The name of the game is "Hidden Corpse in Hanging Coffin", which doesn't necessarily refer to hiding in a coffin.

Although the other players were skeptical of Yan Shaoqing's words, they couldn't think of other better ways for a while, so they could only try it for the time being.

Everyone checked the hanging coffin again. This time, the coffin had to be staggered from the gap in the rock wall, so it took more time and effort than before.

When I checked the eighth coffin from the left in the fourth row, the stone wall inside was knocked, and there was a hollow sound that was completely different from other places.

Yan Shaoqing completely removed the coffin that was in the way, and temporarily placed it on another protruding wooden board next to it.

He lay down in front of the cave entrance, groped with his hands on the side stone wall, touched a slightly concave smooth pebble with his fingertips, pressed it lightly and pushed it inward.

There was only a light "click", and the innermost stone wall was slowly opened outwards, revealing a dark and long secret passage.

The entrance to the secret passage is no different in size from a coffin, the inside is dark and damp, and there are water waves flowing on the stone walls on both sides.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the water on the stone wall does not flow from top to bottom, but from bottom to top in a strange way.

Everyone can see that there must be a mystery in the secret passage, but the corresponding inside is also full of unknown dangers, and it is easy to enter and difficult to exit in such a narrow passage. If you encounter a ghost attack again, you may directly confess It's inside, so for a while, no player dared to go in and check it out.

Ryan, the poodle, was originally left by Yan Shaoqing on the wooden bridge below, but he couldn't bear the dog's impatience, so he jumped up along the wooden plank, stretched out his furry head to look into the secret passage, and Like he can't wait to explore.

Yan Shaoqing touched Ryan lightly, thought for a moment, and said aloud: "Go into the secret passage first, and come out immediately if you encounter danger."

Ryan is small in size, flexible in stature, and can walk through narrow dark passages with ease. Moreover, this dog is already a dead ghost, and he is not afraid of being led by the dog again. At most, he will return to his original shape.

Receiving the master's order, Ryan let out a "bark" in response. With a flashlight in his thin mouth, he turned around and sprinted into the dark passage, his chubby feet made a series of "da da da" light jumps Voice.

The sound gradually faded away, and soon fell into silence.

Everyone was waiting outside. Compared to Yan Shaoqing's leisurely and calm expression, the other players looked very anxious. It would be too unreliable to ask a dog to scout the way.

Less than 10 minutes later, the sound of "da da da" footsteps appeared in the tunnel again, and Ryan jumped out of the shadows with his dog's head held high, barking at Yan Shaoqing's "bark" as if asking for credit for a while.

To other players, it was really just a "woof woof" with unknown meaning.

Mu Chenlong couldn't help being curious, scratched his head and asked suspiciously: "What is it talking about?"

Yan Shaoqing patted Ryan's high-spirited dog's head in admiration, looked deep into the dark passage, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "I found it."

The space in the secret passage is limited, and it is not suitable for all players to enter at the same time.

Yan Shaoqing was holding the silver coin in which the ghost of the thousand-year-old corpse king resided. If he wanted the soul to return to his body, he had to go in himself.

He weighed it in his mind, and decided to bring Mu Chenlong and Zhou Zeyan in together, so that he could retreat at any time. Too many people would get in the way.

Holding the flashlight, Yan Shaoqing walked through the narrow passage for more than ten meters. The space became wider as he went in, and he was able to walk normally with his body upright in the end.

At the end of the passage is a staircase leading down. The staircase is spiral, winding and bottomless.

Down the stairs, after walking for nearly a hundred meters, I finally reached the deepest point.

What appeared in front of us was an empty cave, the air was cold and humid, the lower part was filled with white mist, and the surrounding stone walls were hung with a curtain of water flowing down, behind which there were patches of dark green moss.

There is a pool of water in the middle of the cave, and the fog above the pool is the thickest.

The water pool is connected with a two-inch-wide waterway, which extends all the way to the cliff where the coffin is hung, and finally leads to the stagnant lake where the corpses were sunk.

Yan Shaoqing was about to step forward to check, but there was a burst of scattered footsteps above the spiral staircase.

Everyone became alert, immediately took out their weapons, and looked up, only to see Jiang Nali and Xu Ruyan walking down cautiously, one in front of the other.

Yan Shaoqing lowered Yan Hun's dagger, glanced at Jiang Nali and Xu Ruyan in turn, and asked in a concentrated voice, "Why did you follow?"

"I'm a little worried about you, and I don't want to wait up there, so I wanted to come down and take a look together." Jiang Nali stepped forward, her face worried and fake, she turned the back of her hand, took out a silver dagger in each of her left and right hands, and put With two sharp blades across his chest, he said with firm eyes, "In case something happens later, maybe I can help."

"I'm worried about you too." Xu Ruyan echoed in a low voice, with a bit of timidity in her concerned eyes, she walked slowly to Jiang Nali's side, pursing her lips nervously, "Nali is coming down Now, as her good sister, I will naturally come down with her. Although I am not as powerful as Nali, I promise that I will never hold you back."

Jiang Nali originally didn't want to bring Xu Ruyan, a new rival in love, down with her, but thinking that the other party's cowardice and incompetence was a great opportunity for her to stand out in front of Yan Shaoqing, she reluctantly agreed.

The two girls had already descended the [-]-meter-long ladder to the bottom, and out of good intentions, Yan Shaoqing couldn't open his mouth to drive them back directly, so he asked the two to follow behind them.

Yan Shaoqing walked slowly to the cold pool with Yan Hun's dagger in hand, and looked down.

The water in the pool is so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance.

Lying at the bottom was a familiar man with a handsome face and tall stature, no different from the human form transformed by the ghost of the thousand-year-old corpse king before.

There were also a few red kits with gold cicada tattoos scattered around the man, but they were empty, as if they didn't contain any silver coins.

It's a bit strange that the kit distributed by the village chief to the players appears next to the corpse of the thousand-year-old corpse king, and it probably has something to do with the seal.

But the strangest thing is the state of the corpse of the thousand-year-old corpse king. According to the deity, without the protection of the spirit coin, the body will rot slightly, but the corpse in the deep pool not only has no signs of decay, but the skin is white and clean, fresh It's like a living person falling into a deep sleep.

Yan Shaoqing took out the silver coin, rubbed it lightly three times with his fingers, and the translucent figure of the millennium corpse king immediately appeared beside him.

"Is this your body?" Yan Shaoqing frowned, pointing to the man lying flat in the pool.

The Millennium Corpse King stared at the bottom of the pool for a moment, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he gradually frowned, "The corpse is right, but I feel a depressing and disgusting aura. I did something to my body. But since I have found this place, there is no reason to give up halfway."

To be honest, ever since he went down to this cave, Yan Shaoqing had a very ominous premonition, he even faintly felt the aura of that unlucky man.

Yan Shaoqing picked up the silver coin with two fingers, and used the shiny surface to reflect the body in the pool, "How can I make your ghost that resides in the silver coin return to your body?"

"It's very simple." The Millennium Corpse King looked at the Yan Hun dagger in Yan Shaoqing's hand, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Just use a sharp weapon to draw a wound on your body, let the silver coin be stained with the black blood that flows out of the wound, My long-sealed ghost will naturally return to my body."

"Or let me come."

Mu Chenlong rolled up his sleeves, frowning deeply.

No one knows if there will be any accidents later, how can Mu Chenlong let Yan Shaoqing do such a dangerous thing at ease, naturally he, a thick-blooded meat shield, will rush to the front.

"No." The Millennium Corpse King's face darkened, and he glanced at Mu Chenlong coldly, "I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications. The last step of unlocking the seal must be done by the first person to take out the silver coin."

"Can't I finish such a simple thing?"

Yan Shaoqing smiled lightly as if joking, and walked into Tanzhong holding the silver coin in his hand.

The water in the pool was neither deep nor shallow, just reaching his waist, but it was so cold that Yan Shaoqing couldn't help shivering.

Mu Chenlong and the others stayed at Tan's side to guard, their nervous eyes locked on Yan Shaoqing's body, and they moved slowly with the opponent's advancing pace, not even daring to take a breath.

"Nali, I'm a little scared." Xu Ruyan leaned next to Jiang Nali, shaking her fingers awkwardly, "Can you lend me a dagger for self-defense?"

"Do you know how to use it?" Jiang Nali still had resentment in her heart, her tone could not help being a little cold, but she still threw the dagger in her left hand to Xu Ruyan, "Be careful, don't cut yourself."

Xu Ruyan caught the dagger and held it tightly in her hand, as if to relieve her fear, she moved a little closer to Jiang Nali's direction, her head drooping, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

The pool was only tens of square meters in size, and Yan Shaoqing quickly walked to the center.

He bent down, fished out the man's arm from the water, and was about to stab the tip of the dagger towards the back of the man's hand, when he suddenly heard the dull sound of a sharp weapon cutting the man's flesh.

The next moment, the originally clear and transparent pool water under his feet turned into a light red color.

Yan Shaoqing turned his head to look at the cutting sound, but saw Jiang Nali covering her gaping neck with both hands, hot blood pouring out continuously from the cut.

Jiang Nali's eyes were wide open, her eyeballs protruding, and she looked at Xu Ruyan next to her in disbelief. In Xu Ruyan's hand, she was still holding a blood-stained dagger.

Xu Ruyan smiled with gloomy eyes, raised his hand and pushed Jiang Nali hard.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Nali's body fell heavily into the pool, and the overflowing blood dyed the pool even more red.

Mu Chenlong and Zhou Zeyan's eyes had been on Yan Shaoqing before, and no one noticed Jiang Nali and Xu Ruyan's side at all. The unexpected situation shocked them both.

However, what surprised Yan Shaoqing even more was that the dead hand he grabbed moved by itself, and the cold palm turned over, tightly holding onto his wrist.

Sensing the danger, Yan Shaoqing immediately looked back, and the man lying in the pool opened his eyes at some point, and sat up from the scarlet water with the sound of "crash".

The man stared at him quietly with his dark eyes, and the raised corner of his mouth evoked a rich smile with unknown meaning, and his deep voice sounded like a deep valley, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
