Chapter 568: Grimace mask

Seeing that there was no mucus in the footprints ahead, I suddenly felt strange.
Celluloid said, "What shall we do now? Do you want to keep tracking these footprints?"
Gao Peng said, "Of course, we must catch Zhou Kejie quickly."
I also whispered, "There is no slime in the footprints, does it mean that Zhou Kejie will no longer pose any threat to mankind."
Gao Peng said, "Why is there no threat? Isn't the huge shootings he made a threat? As long as such terrorists exist, they are threats."
Li Yuantai nodded, "Yes, he must be found quickly." After that, he chanted the sniffing dog Mishid.
But after we followed the footprints for a while, we found that the footprints had disappeared.
The reason is very simple. The muddy ground under my feet has turned into a stone ground, and the stone ground naturally cannot make any footprints.
This time, even Gao Peng had no idea, "What are we going to do now?"
Li Yuantai said,
Let’s go back to the burrow and take a look. Since Zhou Kejie walked out of that burrow, I believe there is still a lot of mucus. The whole Baohui Mountain has changed."
Li Yuantai's words reminded us that the five of us in our party speeded up the pace to return.
After walking back to the newly dug hole, Gao Peng led the way with a flashlight. There was still a lot of mucus in the barefoot footprints in the hole. Some of the mucus had penetrated into the soil, and we immediately set fire to them.
For a while, the small cave was full of the scorching smell of protein burning.
We struck our footsteps in the hole in the ground with difficulty.
At the end of the cave, it was a cave.
We climbed into the cave and found many strange-shaped stones and a huge stone bed in the cave.
Feeling tired, I was about to sit on the stone bed and rest, but Li Yuantai stopped him, "Don't sit around."
There are obvious marks of fighting in the cave, and a lot of dried blood on the ground.
Gao Peng leaned over and took a closer look at the blood stains, "These blood stains are still very fresh."
I was stunned, "Who is fighting here? What happened here?"
Li Yuantai stood on the edge of the stone bed and watched for a long time, thinking thoughtfully, "We should be in the cave where the ancient corpse is sealed now."
The four of us all looked at Li Yuantai in horror.
Gao Peng said, "How can you see it? You mean we have crossed the barrier and entered the cave?"
Li Yuantai nodded, "Yes, this stone bed was originally placed on the ancient corpse."
"So now, where is the ancient corpse?"
"This is also a question I want to know. However, what is certain now is that the people who dig through this hole must be someone who does not understand spells. It is precisely because they do not understand spells that they will come up with a dumb method of digging a hole. Come to bypass the barrier."
"Once the banned ancient corpse runs out, what will be the result?"
"Unknown, it shouldn't be a good thing."
Gao Peng squatted down and continued to trace the slime-stained footprints. He lowered his head and burned the slime all the way, and found that the end of the footprints turned out to be a rock wall with a big hole in the rock wall.
The hole was as big as a water tank, and the footprints came out of that hole. There were many gravel directly under the hole.
Gao Peng looked at the gravel carefully and frowned, "This hole was obviously formed after something hit the rock wall. What exactly caused the rock wall to collapse?"
Dumb, who was following Gao Peng, turned around and greeted us, "Look at it, this hole leads to the outside."
I hurriedly ran over, put my head into the hole and took a look.
"Yes, come on, it looks like a stone house outside the cave."
The strong curiosity urged me to want to climb through the hole immediately. I supported the rock wall with my hands, jumped and fell into the house with a thud.
The landing of my feet aroused countless dust on the ground, which made me cough.
When I rubbed my eyes and calmed down, I immediately let out a scream. Nima, a white bone is leaning on the stone wall opposite me, a long snow-white hair droops from the skull where only the skull is left, and his hollow eye sockets are looking directly at me. Wucao, suddenly seeing such a skeleton, everyone was scared to pee.
I forced myself to calm down, and stammered out, "Come on, there is a corpse here."
Hearing my shout, the four friends also filed through the hole.
The five of us gathered around the dead bones and had no idea.
Celluloid said, "Luffy, don't touch the things inside."
I glared at her, "I didn't touch anything."
Li Yuantai leaned over and looked, "This person has been dead for a long time."
Celluloid said, "How long is it?"
Li Yuantai frowned, "I can't say that. Maybe it's hundreds of years, maybe it's thousands of years, it's possible."
Celluloid was speechless, "It's been dead for so long."
There were still a lot of slime-stained footprints on the stone house's floor, and we immediately set fire to burn all the slime.
What is puzzling is that there are many charms engraved on the walls of the stone house.
Li Yuantai stared at the symbols and examined them carefully.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a rich fruity fragrance came.
"It smells so good, it smells like apples."
I ran to the window of the stone house, only to find that there were fruit trees outside the window, and the branches were covered with heavy fruits.
"Wow, a lot of fruits, good fortune. Come on."
Before my friends could answer, I pushed open the heavy stone door and ran out of the house.
"Wait for me, wait for me." Celluloid and Dui who couldn't help but ran out of the house with me.
Gao Peng took Li Yuantai and said, "Go, pick the fruit first. If you are full, then study these strange symbols."
The fruits on the tree are all ripe, sweet and tempting, which makes our index fingers move.
We climbed up to the tree, picked a lot of fruit, and ate a lot. Only Li Yuantai was unhappy all the time, not knowing what he was thinking.
After eating the fruit, my mouth is sweet and greasy, and I feel thirsty, and there is a cool stream not far away.
The stream is clean and clear, and the current is ding-dong. It is impossible to see the source or where it will flow, but it nourishes the entire fruit forest.
I walked to the side of the stream, took the sweet and clear water, and drank it.
Now that my stomach is full, the sun is shining warmly on my body, and I suddenly feel sleepy. I was about to lie down on the grass and sleep, a white and miserable thing on the grass attracted my attention.
I nervously walked towards the white and miserable thing, and when I stepped closer, I saw it clearly.
That is a mask.
A grimace mask.
I bent over and picked up the mask.
