Origin Chapter 791: Critical blow

Judging from the sound of footsteps, this quadruped is not large in size, and its pace is very slow, and the footsteps are concentrated in a relatively fixed area and do not move around.

Because I didn't dare to use Reiki detection, I couldn't determine the species of the four-legged beast and whether it had Reiki cultivation.

In the world's cognition, the beasts that have matured are often proud of being able to change human form, but this is not the case. The beasts do not look up to humans, at least not at this time, and they are even more when no one is there. It likes to move with its original animal body, so it cannot be denied that this four-legged beast is not a demon king because it has not changed into a human.

Because the outside is a dry desert, the inside of the cave is also very dry, there is no damp and mildew, the cave is very large, and there are many small branch holes outside the main cave. The so-called small holes are only for the empty main cave. In fact, the small hole is not small, there are branches outside the small hole, and the whole cave is criss-crossed with branches.

Wu Zhongyuan held his breath and walked cautiously in stealth. At the same time, he carefully looked at the cave where he was located. This cave should be a natural achievement, and it was renovated the day after tomorrow. It is a cave between beasts and humans. There is a special pattern between the houses where we live. Because the cave is very dry and there is no moss growing, we can see that the corners of many fork roads are very smooth. The heights of the areas are different. Some areas with smooth fork roads are no more than a foot above the ground, while some areas with smooth fork roads are a few feet above the ground. From this, it can be seen that there are more than one species of beasts living here.

The dry environment also completely preserved other things in the cave, including skeletons everywhere and a large number of broken swords and remnants of soldiers. Incomplete weapons and white bones can be seen everywhere. He is not the work of a forensic doctor, so he can't carry out any investigations on the bones. A detailed classification can only roughly see that the bones in the cave are mostly beasts, and there are also human bones, but the number is not large.

There is no written record about the location of Wudao's old nest back then. What we already know is that the orcs are in Kunlun Mountain, the demons are in Sanxingdui, and the ghosts are in Fengdu. There are various indications that this place is likely to be the old nest of the demon clan, and the large number of bones and broken weapons indicate that fierce battles took place here in those days.

Fearing to startle the snake, Wu Zhongyuan moved very slowly. During this period, the sound of footsteps in the distance was intermittent, even if it appeared occasionally, it was only a few short-lived sounds.

Wu Zhongyuan had missed the hand before, but this time he became more cautious. As he walked forward, he thought about the details of the upcoming violent raid in his mind one by one, including how to draw his sword, how to approach, and what angle to carry out. attack.

Wu Zhongyuan saw the end of the cave at the end of the cave. At the end of the cave, there is a natural stone high platform. The high platform has also been polished and carved the day after tomorrow. There is a huge snake head close to the stone wall in the north. , The snake head is carved out of stone, showing the posture of opening its mouth and showing its teeth. Its shape is somewhat similar to the candle nine yin on the lintel of the orc altar, but it is also different. Said to be a seat, it is more like a wide stone bed, on which you can lie down and rest, or sit and discuss matters.

This large seat is undoubtedly the seat of the Demon King. There are five seats around the main seat, which are also stone, slightly smaller than the main seat, but larger than the dragon seat in the Zhongtian Temple. on many.

The demon king has five generals of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The one master, five pairs and six seats here further proves that this is the home of the demon clan.

The footsteps did not come from the end of the cave, but came from a branch cave on the right. After a brief pondering, Wu Zhongyuan did not immediately turn into a fork in the road, but continued to move forward to the end of the cave and carefully observe The seat that belongs to the Demon King.

According to common sense, if the demon king returns to his hometown, he will definitely come to his throne to take a look, and may even sit down to find the feeling of the past. If there are traces of walking or sitting, it means that he is walking on a fork in the road. The voice was made by the demon king.

Because it has been abandoned for many years, a lot of dust has accumulated in the cave. After careful observation, I found that there are paw prints and footprints near the Throne of the Demon King. The footprints are those of bare feet. If we use modern shoe sizes, it should be only thirty-five yards. , apparently the footprints of a woman. The paw print is in the shape of a melon seed, which is a characteristic of canine paw prints. If it is a cat, it will be in the shape of a very round plum blossom.

There are also traces of sitting on the throne, and there is a complete and clear woman's buttocks left. Two things can be determined by the imprints. One is that this woman is petite, and the reason why the tall and thin type is excluded is a combination of three With a footprint of fifteen yards, the taller a woman is, the bigger her feet will be. This is the case for most women. There are very few tall people who have small feet.

One thing can be confirmed from the prints, that is, this woman is not wearing pants, because the shape of the buttocks left on the seat is too clear, even if she wears gauze, it will not be so clear.

After a brief observation, Wu Zhongyuan left the Demon King's throne and moved slowly towards the fork where the sound came from. At this time, he was able to confirm that the Demon King had been here, and it was probably in the fork in the cave where the sound came from.

Not far away, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly found that a large amount of sand and gravel had accumulated in the northeast corner of the end of the cave. This pile of sand had obviously flowed down from the top of the cave and had already accumulated very high.

Looking up, you can vaguely see a square gap at the top of the cave several meters above the ground.

The stone wall is not straight up and down, but has a certain slope. There are a lot of paw prints on the stone wall leading to the gap at the bottom. These paw prints are very small and are probably left by yellow hair. The second is that he urinated into the hole from the gap above, which angered Huang Mao'er and was almost killed by someone's appliance.

As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three caves. In fact, the rabbit is far less cunning than the fox. There is a word called suspicious. , it doesn't seem to be the case now. According to the location of the entrance of the cave, the gap at the top of the cave is likely to be an emergency retreat left by the demon king for himself. Back then, it should have been a dense forest, and the entrance of the cave was hidden in a hidden area. As obvious as it is now.

While moving towards the fork where the sound came from, Wu Zhongyuan was distracted and sensed where Huang Mao'er was. At this time, Huang Mao'er had entered the edge of the desert, and it would not be long before he arrived here.

Wu Zhongyuan stopped when he arrived at the entrance of the Dezhi Cave. The rock at the entrance of the cave was different in color from other cave entrances, and was dark red. He had read the books about minerals left by Li Lanshan before he returned. The Taoist priest who lived to the present day and wanted to kill him, just because he read the books left by Li Lanshan, he learned about various minerals. This dark red color is ocher, which is called iron ore in later generations. stone.

A cave dug out of iron ore has the same properties as a closed iron tool. Once inside, there is a risk of being trapped.

Wu Zhongyuan has suffered losses before, so he is more cautious this time. There are branches in this branch cave. Previously, the footsteps of four-legged beasts came from the depths of the cave, and they could not be seen from outside the cave. It is too dangerous to rush into the situation.

Before going in, he had to figure out a few details. First, was there a demon king inside? Second, why does the demon king make a sound? Third, why did Huang Mao'er come here in such a hurry? Fourth, what was the motive for this iron ore cave to be excavated in the first place? Also, if there is a trap in it, can I get out of the trap before the trap starts?

Everyone knows that details determine success or failure, but there are still many people who ignore details. In the final analysis, it is because of laziness. Be the prey to be deceived and ravaged by others.

First observe the surroundings of the cave entrance. Like other cave entrances, it is very smooth. It can be seen that this cave was also frequented by beasts. It may not be used for living but for other purposes. In short, it is frequently used.

In addition, there are no traces of gates in the cave entrance, up and down, left and right, and the inner part of the cave visible to the naked eye, which means that even if you enter, it will not be blocked by people.

As for the motive for the excavation of this cave, it should have been just a coincidence at first. After all, the veins of this kind of iron ore were not created by humans. However, after the excavation is completed, the demon clan will definitely make use of the characteristics of this cave, which is not connected to yin and yang.

As for why Huang Mao'er came in such a hurry, it is very likely that the demon king touched something that made Huang Mao'er feel it.

Is there a demon king in it? If so, what is the demon king doing inside? You have to go in to know this.

Go in. If the situation is not good, you can teleport away.

During the time when Wu Zhongyuan was thinking, there was no sound of walking anymore, lest he would startle the snake, he did not dare to use the aura sensor to search, so he could only wait patiently.

A moment later, the sound of footsteps came again.

Hearing the footsteps, Wu Zhongyuan slowly entered the cave. Before that, he had not been breathing for a long time, and his concentration had also increased to the limit.

There are only two caves in this branch, one on the left and one on the right. The sound of footsteps came from the cave on the left. After Wu Zhongyuan entered, he adopted a lateral movement posture to ensure that he could see whether there was any change at the entrance of the cave at any time.

One zhang, two zhang, three zhang, I finally saw the scene in the cave on the left. The cave is long and narrow. There is a stone gate at two zhang. The little fox was staring at the pattern on the stone gate in a daze.

Seeing that the demon king is really here, Wu Zhongyuan's blood surged instantly, and he immediately implemented the steps of the forward-looking plan in his mind. He appeared and drew his sword, slashed back, and slashed down...
