Chapter Seventeen: The Land of Accumulated Corpses

  What's going on? Where is the latest chapter of "The Dark Cave"? I've already updated it! When I drilled into the crack, all I saw was a white blur in front of me. Except for the yin energy, nothing else was visible. What shocked me the most was that Sun Lao Gui's shadow had also disappeared!

  Where is Sun Lao Gui?

  I stood there in a daze, feeling my heart start to thump wildly, cold sweat pouring down like rain. It only took an instant to soak me through completely.

  I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and then softly called out: "Senior Sun?"

  There was no response, an eerie silence here, only my tense heartbeat sounded 'thumping' out.

  I'm a bit unbelievable, I and Old Sun almost came in at the same time. How come now, Old Sun is gone? Did something unexpected happen to him the moment he came in?

  But this is impossible, Sun Lao Gui is such a powerful figure, even if something unexpected happens, it's impossible for him to die without making a sound.

  It's still possible to shout out loud!

  The more I think about it, the more anxious I become. Taking a deep breath, I gritted my teeth and thought to myself, "Damn it, this place is too weird, let's get out of here first."

  Thinking of this, I didn't delay any longer and turned around to head back. But when I turned around and walked back to the place where I originally entered, I was suddenly stunned.

  The stone wall in front of me is smooth and glossy, where has the crack gone that we came in through?

  In an instant, I was struck by lightning, my eyes wide with a disbelieving expression. The latest chapter has been updated.

  How is this possible?

  I had just come in from here, how could that crack disappear in the blink of an eye?

  I swallowed hard and suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from behind me. The sound was sometimes clear, sometimes vague, and seemed to be floating around.

  I turned back without hesitation, but found nothing behind me.

  It's just that people are like this. The more you can't see or touch, yet still stimulate your senses, the more it makes one feel terrified. At this moment, I only felt my legs go weak, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat. If it weren't for all the strange things I've experienced recently, I'd probably have been scared to the point of wetting my pants.

  My back was stuck tightly to the stone wall, I didn't dare move at all. I stood still for about five or six minutes, and when I saw that there was nothing unusual, I let out a sigh of relief and began to feel my way along the wall.

  That crack can't just disappear for no reason, now it's gone, there are only two possibilities.

  One was that I walked in the wrong direction, and the second was that there's something strange here. After Sun Lao Gui and I came in, something triggered a mechanism, and the crack closed automatically.

  I continued to grope forward along the stone wall, but I didn't find anything. The stone wall was smooth and slippery, not even a ghostly shadow could be seen, let alone any mechanism.

  Just as I was wondering, I suddenly heard a rustling sound behind my head, and then my head hurt. I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, turned around to look, and saw that on the ground there was actually a wild fruit, which had just hit me on the head.

  Damn it, what thing, actually hit me with a wild fruit, could it be, that old devil Sun?

  I stared with wide eyes and looked around randomly, but it was nothing to worry about. However, as soon as I took a glance, I was startled.

  All I saw was a black figure standing not far from my side.

  This nearly scared the soul out of me, I had clearly looked around everywhere before, here, there was no one at all, and when did this black shadow appear?

  That figure stood quietly in front of the wall, his face facing the stone wall, and his body was less than ten centimeters away from the stone wall. It can be said that at this moment, he was almost standing against the stone wall.

  It's too strange, why does he want to stand facing the stone wall? Is there something on that stone wall that he is looking at?

  Could it be that he is Sun Lao Gui?

  I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy at this thought, and just as I was about to call out to him, a large hand suddenly clamped over my mouth from behind.

  "Waaaah!……" This sudden change came too suddenly, scaring me so much that my soul almost flew away. I struggled with all my might, but the big hand was like an iron claw, tightly grasping my mouth. Then I heard a voice in my ear say: "Don't shout, it's me, Old Ghost Sun!"

  What's up, old Sun?

  My heart skipped a beat, wasn't Old Sun just ahead of us?

  How did you appear behind me again?

  I involuntarily raised my head to look at the black shadow, and saw that it was still standing motionless in front of the stone wall, like a dead body.

  In an instant, I felt inexplicable terror, Sun Lao Gui was behind me, and what was that black shadow in front of me?

  "Now I'm letting you go, don't make a sound, got it?" Sun Lao Gui's voice whispered in my ear, and I hastily nodded. Seeing this, Sun Lao Gui slowly loosened his grip.

  I took a big gulp and turned around to see that it was indeed Old Sun standing behind me, but at this moment, his face was solemn and serious, staring at the motionless figure with a look of great enemy.

  "What's that thing?" I still couldn't help but ask in a low voice beside Sun Lao Gui, but unexpectedly, Sun Lao Gui also shook his head and said: "I don't know!"

  I don't know?

  Sun Lao Gui is over a hundred years old, has seen and known much, and has been practicing this way for many years. Is there actually something he doesn't know?

  Sun Lao Gui saw my pale face and added, "This place is very strange, the space is huge, it's a bit like a tomb chamber, but not quite. Logically speaking, a tomb chamber should have an ear room and the main room of the tomb owner, and there should be a burial pit for burying funeral objects, but here there is nothing, and the space is very large. Just now when I came in, a black shadow flashed before my eyes, so I chased after it all the way, but that black shadow was too agile, flashing away and disappearing, only then did I hurry back."

  I was shocked by what I heard, but none of that matters now. What I'm most concerned about is where that crack went. If we can't find that crack, how are we going to get out?

  Sun Lao Gui was also worried about this, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly exclaimed: "How is it gone?"

  I was taken aback by his words and followed his gaze. But when I saw the situation in front of me, I was shocked instantly.

  The black shadow that was originally motionless and standing in front of the stone wall suddenly disappeared!

  Where did that black shadow go?

  At this time, don't mention me, even Sun Lao Gui, who was playing tricks, was a little scared. His dry right face was covered with sweat beads.

  But as the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortune never walks alone. Just as we were standing there, frozen in shock, a strange "squeaking" sound suddenly echoed out, and then a black shadow flashed before us and vanished into the murky air.

  I went, that black shadow was very fast, and it was on all fours, scurrying past, just like a person, suddenly crawling in front of me, I was so scared that I retreated two steps, my whole body hair stood up.

  "What on earth is this thing?" I'm about to cry from fright, my voice is already trembling.

  Sun Lao Gui was also drenched in cold sweat, but after all, his age had passed, and he gritted his teeth, cursed loudly, saying: "Damn it, I really don't believe it, let's go and chase after him to see!"

  Sun Lao Gui said that, and then chased in the direction where the black shadow escaped. I didn't dare to stay here by myself, so I hastily followed him without any hesitation.

  This place is indeed very large, and Sun Lao Gui and I chased it for a long time without reaching the end. At this moment, the black shadow in front of us suddenly stopped moving. Looking at its movements, it seemed to be turning around to look at us. And the eyes of that black shadow were actually blood red.

  I subconsciously stopped in my tracks, feeling my legs go weak, and I didn't want to take another step forward. But then I heard Old Sun shouting: "Damn it! It's actually a monkey!"

  Having said that, he suddenly rushed out and pounced on the monkey.

  That monkey was extremely agile, and Sun Lao Gui suddenly pounced on nothing. Then he saw that the monkey had taken out a wild fruit and hit it on Sun Lao Gui's head. Sun Lao Gui was furious and wanted to pounce again, but at this time, he saw the monkey jump forward and his shadow fell down instantly.

  Sun Lao Gui chased for two steps, but immediately saw his body suddenly stiffen, and then said in a panicked voice: "Here, here is actually an accumulation of dead bodies?"

  What is this place of accumulated corpses, and how did it make even Sun Wukong so afraid?

  I was curious, so I plucked up the courage to slowly walk to Sun Lao Gui's side. But when I saw the situation in front of me clearly, I couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, my scalp felt numb all at once, and instantly went limp.

  What appeared before my eyes was a very deep pit, and inside the pit were dense and scattered skeletons emitting a green glow, and on top of the pile of skeletons was a group of monkeys, jumping back and forth on the mountain-like pile of skeletons, occasionally scratching and gnawing at the rotting flesh on the corpses.

  I stared in amazement, Sun Lao Gui was also shocked, but at this moment, I suddenly felt a strong force coming from my back, and I let out a loud "ah" as I fell towards the pile of corpses.
