"You guys wait here, I'll go up and take a look first."

Ye Bai took two steps and jumped into a cave dwelling containing a lucky bag.

The man in green robes and thatched grass was placed at the entrance of the cave, and there was a withered skeleton deep in the cave.

This dead bone is transparent in color and has a jade texture. It is obviously the remains of a heavenly being.

It seems that when King Wuyang finally built the underground palace, he collected all the bones buried in Coffin Gorge and relocated them.

I just don’t know what the role of this green-robed thatched man is?

Partridge Whistle and Chen Tianyou also found a cave dwelling at the bottom of the canyon to observe. Partridge Whistle seemed to have discovered something and said: "Second brother, this green-robed thatched man seems to be a thatch fairy. I have heard of customs and legends in Shaanxi.

, According to legend, at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was a severe drought in the world and a plague of locusts. A Taoist wearing a green robe cast a spell to tie grains and thatch into a human shape. The man immediately came to life. Later, the people followed suit and the locust plague was quelled."

"Of course, this is just a myth and legend, and even the Qin Dynasty does not match the time when this underground palace was established." Partridge Whistle added.

Ye Bai nodded. This underground palace of King Wuyang has a history of at least four to five thousand years. It can be said that it was built when the Chinese civilization was just developing. It seems to be incompatible with the thatch fairy of the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Qingpao Taoist priests from the Qin Dynasty once came here, and for some reason, they set up these thatched fairy fairies at the entrance of the cave dwelling.

Since he couldn't tell the calendar, Ye Bai stopped tracing the source and jumped to the entrance of the cave that contained the lucky bag and bronze treasure chest, and put these things into the system first.

Ye Bai discovered that not all the more than fifty cave dwellings contained human remains.

Some cave dwellings are empty, and the bones in some cave dwellings are not those of gods, but the bones of ordinary people.

Generally speaking, Ye Bai did not find the pattern why the lucky bags and bronze treasure boxes were distributed in specific cave dwellings.

"Let's go and have a look inside."

Ye Bai took Chen Tianyou and Partridge Whistle and continued deeper. In front of them was a tunnel that penetrated into the valley without a trace of light.

After a hundred meters, the three of them came out of the tunnel.

In front of you is a sliver of sky, with a little light seeping in from a height of a hundred meters.

There are mountain walls on both sides, as if one side collapsed, forming a long passage in the shape of "in".

A faint black mist floats in the passage, and the end is deep and terrifying, like a giant beast devouring darkness waiting for food to arrive.

Ye Bai frowned slightly, and his consciousness discovered that there were small milky white eggs adhered to the mountain wall, one by one, in huge numbers.

Seeing Ye Bai stop, Chen Tianyou turned his head and said, "Uncle Third, have you found anything?"

Ye Bai said thoughtfully: "I probably know why there is a thatch fairy guarding the entrance of the cave. It is because he is afraid that something will disturb the remains. You follow me closely, I am afraid that there will be danger later."

The three of them slowly entered the "enter"-shaped passage.

Ye Bai was in the middle, spreading out his consciousness, always alert to accidents.

Whoa!

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of the three of them, and Chen Tianyou decisively drew his sword.

The sword light struck the exposed rock and missed.

The black shadow flutters and disappears into nothingness.

Ye Bai said coldly: "Ignore it and keep walking."

The three of them sped up, and the black fog in the passage gradually became thicker.

Zhizhizhi!

A strange sound echoed in the empty valley, like the sound of an insect flapping its wings.

Immediately after the eggs hatched, the sound of flapping wings sounded in their ears.

The sound was dense, as if they were surrounded by countless larvae.

Under Ye Bai's consciousness, he discovered that the eggs adhering to the mountain wall were absorbing the black mist, and then quickly broke out of their shells, turning into finger-sized locusts.

It only takes a few seconds from birth to adulthood.

Even female locusts take longer to ovulate than this.

Catalyzed by the black mist, the faint light from the sky above the original canyon was instantly obscured by millions of migratory locust swarms, creating a huge momentum.

These locusts have hard head shells and are iron-green in color. The mouthparts behind the two split incisors reveal a metallic light, which seems to be extremely sharp.

Ye Bai swatted away the two locusts that were attacking. Feeling how special the locusts were, he put the Golden Spirit Bead on his head.

After supplying the true energy, the Golden Spirit Bead emitted a yellow halo of light, like an inverted golden bowl, and was placed on the heads of the three people.

Among the black locusts, the light of the Golden Spirit Pearl seemed extremely dim.

The locusts began to attack, sometimes turning into big hands, sometimes turning into mountain peaks, and smashed into the golden bowl.

Boom! Boom!

But the golden bowl stood still, and Ye Bai, who supplied the true energy, never felt the slightest discomfort.

Ye Bai shook his head slightly, no matter how hard these locusts attacked, they could not break through the defense of the Golden Lingzhu.

But just letting it attack is not the answer.

So Ye Bai controlled the thunder and threw out a purple thunder whip, which smashed into the dense swarm of locusts and black smoke suddenly appeared.

Wherever the thunder whip went, locusts exploded one after another, emitting the last burst of fireworks in their lives.

This scene is like an electric mosquito slapping a mosquito, which is quite spectacular and interesting.

Chen Tianyou and Partridge Whistle inside the bowl became theatergoers.

After a while, the locust swarm decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that there were no more locusts near the golden bowl, Ye Bai took away his magical powers and continued moving forward with the three of them.

At this time, the figure in the black mist appeared again and rushed towards the partridge whistle.

Phew!

In desperation, the partridge whistle used the king's arm to cover it.

Click!

A ball of flesh and blood was torn off, and the partridge whistle muffled and took a few steps back.

Ye Bai's Geng-gold sword had been hidden under his body for a long time. As soon as his consciousness moved, the sword shot out with golden light.

It's a pity that the black shadow seems to be able to dissolve in the black mist, and disappears into the void before the Geng Jin Xiaojian is activated.

"Second uncle, are you okay?" Chen Tianyou came forward.

Partridge Whistle shook his head and saw the blood and flesh of King Xian's arm squirming, and it soon returned to its original shape without even leaving a scar.

Chen Tianyou couldn't help but joked: "Second uncle, with your ability, you can probably make a fortune just by selling meat."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Partridge Whistle shook his head and smiled. Then he looked at Ye Bai and said solemnly: "Third brother, did you see what it was just now?"

"I can see it clearly. It's a humanoid monster that looks like a blue locust. Unfortunately, it emerged from the black mist both times, making it difficult to catch."

"How about I serve as bait and try again?"

"Forget it, this thing will probably come out again." Ye Bai shook his head.

The three of them continued to move forward, and the deeper they went, the thicker the black mist became.

There were no traces of the locust swarms around. These locusts bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing that the three of them were not easy to bully, most of them flew out.

Some flew to the outside world from the valley gap in the sky, and most of them were killed by the strong wind in the eye of the storm, while the rest became food for the lapis lazuli flock.

More flew into the cave dwellings.

These locusts are overwhelming and ferocious, eating whatever they see, as if they were in a deserted land.
