Chapter 345: Stone Chamber Remains

"It seems that there is something here that can absorb the light."

Gu Qianyin shuddered and looked around and said.

The radish seemed to be a little cautious when it arrived in this area, and its speed slowed down.

However, even so, Su Chen and his friends did not speed up to catch it, because the surroundings were too dark. No matter which direction, it was pitch black, like the mouth of an ancient beast, and it seemed that something dangerous might emerge at any time.

So, they would naturally not act rashly.

"Why did this radish bring us here?" Gu Qianyin asked.

"Maybe it wants to lure us into a dangerous place and kill us." Li Shitong curled her rosy lips and stared at the radish trotting in front with a bad look.

The radish seemed to feel the cold eyes of Li Shitong behind it, and shivered involuntarily, but its steps did not stop.

"I don't think so. This carrot can launch such a strong attack just now. If it really has ill intentions towards us, it would not need to go through so much trouble. It could have solved us just now."

Xue Yong, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said unexpectedly.

"Then why do you think it lured us here?"

Li Shitong said unconvinced.

"I don't know either." Xue Yong shook his head, "But it must have brought us here for a purpose. Just now, Young Master Chen saved it once. I think it should want to repay its gratitude."

"Repay gratitude?"

Li Shitong obviously didn't believe it. What gratitude could it repay by running to such a place.

Su Chen, who was standing aside, listened to Xue Yong's words and was thoughtful. Xue Yong seems to be a rough man, but in fact, his intuition and analytical ability are above ordinary people. Xue Yong doesn't talk much at ordinary times, but as long as he speaks, Su Chen will basically pay attention to it.

For example, what Xue Yong said at this moment, Su Chen felt that it was not impossible.

However, this place is pitch dark, how can you repay gratitude?

While thinking, he suddenly saw the carrot leading the way in front of him leap up and plunge into the darkness in front.

The four of them quickened their pace to catch up, but after a few steps, they hit an invisible wall, and all four of them were bounced back.

"I told you, that carrot must have bad intentions and just wanted to trick us." Li Shitong retreated more than ten steps before stabilizing her body, and said unhappily.

Xue Yong didn't say anything, and groped on the invisible wall with his hands. Soon, he turned to Su Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, this wall is continuous and very high, and we may not be able to get through."

"I think we should leave. It's too dark here and a bit scary." Gu Qianyin shuddered.

"Yes, yes, let's go quickly." Li Shitong said hurriedly. She had wanted to leave a long time ago. This place was pitch black, too creepy, and lifeless, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

Whoosh!

In the darkness ahead, a shadow came back. It was the carrot.

It saw Su Chen and the other four being blocked outside the invisible wall, and first scratched its head with its roots in confusion.

Then, it ran over quickly as if it had suddenly realized something, stretched out its roots and pointed at the four people, and suddenly spit out a few drops of white juice at them.

The white juice fell on the skin of the four people and was immediately absorbed by the skin.

"What kind of juice is this?" Gu Qianyin wondered, "When it enters the body, it turns into a stream of spiritual energy, and it feels quite comfortable."

The carrot raised a root and made a wall-pushing motion.

Gu Qianyin was confused, so he reached out to push the invisible wall, and found that the invisible wall had disappeared.

"You try it, the wall is gone!" Gu Qianyin said in surprise.

Su Chen seemed to understand something and said, "That's not a wall, but a barrier that can prevent others from entering. The radish sprayed its juice on us, which should let us get its scent. In this way, the barrier will be ineffective for us and we can go in."

"So it still wants us to go in with it. Is it possible that the inside of this barrier is its territory?" Gu Qianyin said.

"I don't know if it is its territory, but there is an uncomfortable smell inside, and I don't want to go in." Li Shitong frowned, looking like she was about to cry, obviously frightened by the surrounding environment.

Gu Qianyin also said, "I don't really want to go in either, Su Chen, how about we stay here and wait for you?"

Su Chen looked at the two women and nodded, "Okay, let Xue Yong stay to protect you."

"Okay, Master Chen." Xue Yong nodded.

"Su Chen, you go in alone? Will it be dangerous?" Li Shitong said worriedly.

"It's okay."

Su Chen smiled, said nothing more, and flashed into the inside of the barrier.

As soon as he entered the barrier, Su Chen immediately felt a completely different breath, that was a breath of death, yes, death.

Death is something that is difficult to describe in words. If a person has ever been to a mass grave with corpses everywhere, then he can roughly understand what death is.

Only in a place where there is no grass and no living things can there be dead air, and this alone is not enough to give birth to dead air. Only when the spiritual energy between heaven and earth stops circulating, nothing is absorbing spiritual energy, and nothing is producing spiritual energy, can dead air be born.

This also explains why the light in this area can't shine far.

Because there is too much dead air here, the dead air can swallow the light and prevent the light from shining out.

Su Chen looked down at the carrot jumping under his feet. It was hard to imagine why this carrot brought him to this place full of dead air.

However, thinking that this cave world was once an ancient battlefield, Su Chen had some guesses.

Could this place also be someone's tomb, whose burial place?

Soon, Su Chen's idea was verified.

Carrot led him all the way in. After walking for about an incense stick of time, a light suddenly appeared in front of Su Chen's eyes.

The light was very subtle at first, but the further he walked, the brighter the light became. After a while, when Su Chen's eyes finally got used to the light, he found that he had come to a stone chamber.

This stone chamber was about ten feet in radius. In the middle of the stone chamber, a skeleton much taller than an ordinary person was sitting cross-legged, with many carrion-eating flowers growing on it.

The light source in the stone chamber also came from the skeleton, which actually emitted a little golden light, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

Su Chen cast his eyes on the skeleton and found that at least a hundred bones in the skeleton were broken. It was obvious that the skeleton had experienced an extremely fierce battle before his death.
