Chapter 1652
Huo Jilin thought for a while: "I think we should study the information we got from the ancient road again, maybe we can make new discoveries."
Wang Kaixuan swallowed the food in his mouth: "Oh, what are you still studying? I just want to live a peaceful life for a few days."
Hu Bayi glared at him: "Fatty, we can't just give up like this, maybe we can find a bigger treasure?"
When he heard about the treasure, Wang Kaixuan's eyes lit up: "Really? OK, then study it again."
So, the three of them returned to the room and took out some items and records brought out from the ancient road for careful analysis.
Wang Kaixuan took a stone tablet with strange symbols and asked: "Old Hu, what do you think is written on it?"
Hu Bayi took the stone tablet and looked at it carefully for a while: "I'm not sure, but it feels like some kind of guidance."
Huo Jilin was flipping through a tattered book on the side, and suddenly said: "Look, there is a place mentioned here, maybe it is related to the ancient road."
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan hurried over.
"This place is called 'Ghost Valley'. It is said that the secret of the ancient road is hidden in it." Huo Jilin said.
Wang Kaixuan frowned: "Ghost Valley? This name sounds unlucky."
Hu Bayi said: "The more mysterious the place is, the more likely it is to have what we want."
Wang Kaixuan hesitated: "Then...then we really want to go?"
Hu Bayi nodded firmly: "Go! But this time we must be fully prepared."
In the next few days, the three purchased various equipment and supplies in the town.
Wang Kaixuan looked at the full backpack and said: "This is enough for us to use for a while."
Huo Jilin checked the weapons and said: "I hope it will go smoothly this time."
After preparing, they set off again.
Along the way, the scenery is picturesque, but the three have no intention of appreciating it.
Wang Kaixuan complained: "Why is this road so difficult to walk? My feet are all blistered."
Hu Bayi encouraged: "Fatty, hold on, we will be there soon."
Finally, they came to the entrance of Ghost Valley.
A thin layer of fog filled the valley entrance, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
Wang Kaixuan said in fear: "Old Hu, why do I feel this place is eerie?"
Hu Bayi took a deep breath: "Don't be afraid, let's go in carefully."
The three of them walked into the Ghost Valley carefully, and just a few steps in, they heard a eerie laugh.
Wang Kaixuan was so scared that he almost jumped up: "Who? Who is laughing?"
Hu Bayi looked around vigilantly: "Everyone be careful, there may be an ambush."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At this moment, a group of black shadows rushed out from all directions!
Hu Bayi quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist and shouted loudly: "Everyone, stand back to back, be careful!"
Wang Kaixuan also forced himself to cheer up at this time, raised the stick in his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Come on, Fatty, I'm not afraid of you!"
Huo Jilin held the long sword tightly, staring at the black shadows with sharp eyes.
The shadows gradually approached, and the three of them could see clearly that they were all people with distorted faces and strange clothes.
Hu Bayi shouted angrily: "Who are you? Why are you ambushing here?"
One of the shadows replied with a strange smile: "Intruders, this is your burial place!"
After that, the shadows attacked again. Hu Bayi dodged the attack by leaning sideways, and stabbed the shadow with a dagger in his backhand, but the shadow dodged swiftly.
Wang Kaixuan swung the stick vigorously, but was a little confused because of nervousness, "Oh, Lao Hu, these guys are too difficult to deal with!"
Huo Jilin shouted: "Fatty, hold on!"
Hu Bayi said while dealing with the shadows: "Don't panic, find their flaws!"
After a fierce fight, the three gradually adapted to the attack rhythm of the shadows.
Hu Bayi found that although these shadows moved quickly, there were loopholes in their coordination.
"Fatty, Huo Jilin, let's focus on attacking the one on the left!" Hu Bayi shouted.
The three of them attacked the black shadow on the left at the same time.
The black shadow was unable to dodge and was stabbed by Huo Jilin. He fell to the ground and turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.
Seeing this, the other black shadows paused slightly. Wang Kaixuan took the opportunity to gasp and said, "It turns out that these guys are not invincible."
Hu Bayi said, "Don't be careless, keep fighting!"
As the battle continued, the number of black shadows gradually decreased. Finally, the last black shadow was subdued by Hu Bayi.
The three of them were so tired that they collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
Wang Kaixuan complained, "Why is there so much trouble in this Ghost Valley? I don't know what's waiting for us behind."
Huo Jilin said, "Since we are here, we can't retreat."
Hu Bayi stood up and said, "That's right, let's keep going and find the secret of Ghost Valley. "
They continued to walk into the valley, and the fog around them became thicker and thicker, and their vision became blurred.
Wang Kaixuan said anxiously: "Old Hu, the fog is too thick, we won't get lost, right?"
Hu Bayi took out a compass from his backpack, looked at it and said: "Follow the direction of the compass, it shouldn't be wrong."
As they walked, they came to an ancient temple. The door of the temple was closed, and some strange patterns were engraved on the door.
Hu Bayi carefully observed the patterns and said: "This may be some kind of mechanism."
Wang Kaixuan came over and said: "Old Hu, can you solve it?"
Hu Bayi shook his head: "It's not clear yet, I have to study it carefully."
Just then, a low roar came from the temple.
Wang Kaixuan was so scared that he took a few steps back: "This... There won't be any monsters in this temple, right?"
Huo Jilin said: "No matter what it is, we have to go in and take a look. "
Hu Bayi took a deep breath and said, "Everyone be careful and prepare your weapons."
They slowly pushed open the door of the temple, and an old smell came to their faces.
The temple was dark and damp, with a huge stone platform in the middle. There seemed to be something flashing on the stone platform.
Wang Kaixuan wanted to go over and take a look curiously, but was stopped by Hu Bayi: "Be careful of fraud."
Just then, a barrier suddenly rose on the stone platform, separating them.
Hu Bayi said: "It seems that we have to unlock this barrier to get the things inside."
They began to look for clues to unlock the barrier in the temple, and Wang Kaixuan found a stone tablet in a corner.
"Old Hu, come and see this." Wang Kaixuan shouted.
Hu Bayi and Huo Jilin hurried over, only to see some words engraved on the stone tablet.
Hu Bayi interpreted the words and said: "It says here that to unlock the barrier, you need to answer three questions."
Wang Kaixuan said with a bitter face: "You still have to answer questions, this is difficult. ”
The first question came up: "What has a face but no mouth, has legs but no hands, and has four legs but can't walk?"
Hu Bayi thought for a moment and said: "A table."
The barrier flickered slightly, as if it recognized the answer.
The second question followed: "Red fruit hanging on a stick, wrapped in sugar, tastes good."
Wang Kaixuan rushed to answer: "Tanghulu!"
The light of the barrier flickered again.
The last question: "One thing is born strong, and it is busy weaving a web every day. After weaving, it sits quietly, waiting for mosquitoes to hit it."
Huo Jilin said: "Spider."
As the last answer was said, the barrier slowly disappeared.
Wang Kaixuan ran over excitedly and picked up the thing on the stone table. It turned out to be a yellowed ancient book!
