Chapter 71 The Secret of the Water Cave [[-]]

The water cave was so dark that he couldn't see it, so Li Can had no choice but to run away and spread out his spiritual consciousness a little bit, looking around to prevent accidents.

The spiritual sense is quite stagnant in the water and cannot reach far, but fortunately, the inside is similar to the entrance of a cave, only Zhang Xu is wide, and it goes straight up and down like a deep well, and the scattered spiritual sense can barely see the surroundings clearly.

In the spiritual consciousness, there are traces of chisel carvings all over the walls of the surrounding caves. The unevenness is extremely irregular, and it should be the painstaking work of generations of ancestors.

Every ten meters or so on the cave wall, there is an almost decayed metal object embedded in the stone wall, and several broken and decayed torches remain on it.

On the side of the torch, there are several thick ropes hanging from the stone wall, and rotten broken wood fragments are wrapped around them. It seems that a rope ladder was originally suspended on the stone wall, but it has decayed for a long time.

After observing for a while, Li Can saw that the ropes and other things were only rotten and not eaten, and he felt a little relieved and dived into the cave again.

After half a stick of incense, Li Can finally came to the bottom of the water cave, and what appeared in front of him was a cave almost filled with gravel.

This karst cave is about four to five feet high, and there are very few upside-down stalactites left on it, but these stalactites have been covered by algae. If it is not for spiritual exploration, it is impossible to find that under the algae, these sharp stalactites have already cracked Densely covered, a slightly stronger vibration will shatter and fall down again.

Li Can searched carefully for a while, and remembered the location of the stalactites with a little attention, then swept his spiritual sense towards the pile of scattered boulders.

"what?"

After a while, Li Can suddenly showed doubts and frowned.

In his spiritual consciousness, he found more than a dozen scattered corpses in the crevices of the stone pile, but these corpses were incomplete and corroded, with broken limbs and broken bones scattered everywhere.

It was nothing to find the corpse, after all, he had already prepared in his heart.

But among these corpses, there is a skeleton that looks quite weird, because the other skeletons are almost decayed, but this skeleton is still thick, and the degree of decay is obviously lighter than the other skeletons.

Moreover, the skeleton is covered with scars, and there are obvious marks of being cut by swords all over the body. Even so, the skeleton is still relatively intact. The only fatal thing is that the head is pierced into the ground by a sharp stone awl. At this time, the bones are completely broken into pieces look.

Upon closer inspection, Li Can found that the skeleton was not human, but had thick limbs and sharp claws, and a broken tailbone behind it.

Li Can pieced together the scattered skull fragments of this corpse in his mind, and suddenly found that the pieced together skull was [-]% similar to a tiger or a lion.

Moreover, the body of this corpse is much larger than that of normal humans. If it stood upright, it would even be taller than his younger brother Li Miao.

Why is there a corpse of a large beast in the mine?Li Can fell into deep thought when he saw this.

In an instant, he thought of several possibilities.

One is the mount domesticated by the previous patriarch, but there have never been such rumors in the clan. Taking the "virtue" that the Li clan likes to promote, how can such a good talk not be spread among the clan?
The second is that the beast broke into this place unintentionally, and then began to hunt the clansmen, and the patriarch, as the Houtian martial artist, was naturally the strongest fighting force in the clan, but when he was fighting the beast here, he died because of the collapse of the mine. perish together.

As for the third option, Li Can shook his head and smiled and rejected it after a little thought.

Just kidding, with all the strength of the whole family, the mine vein here is only more than a hundred feet deep. How could it be possible for a few sneaky and evil creatures to come out of the depths of the ground like the 'Spirit Devouring Abyss'?

So there are more than tens of thousands of mine veins belonging to the major sects and immortal cultivating families?And most of them are hundreds of feet deep, so if they can easily dig through the leylines and release evil things, then the human race in Yulong Prefecture would have been extinct long ago?

Well, it seems that the second is the most reliable.

Thinking of this, Li Can finally felt relieved, and after pinching his fingers and playing a few spells in succession, three transparent water snakes as thick as fingers rushed out of his palm one after another, and burrowed into the crevice of the stone.

With Li Can's state at this time, commanding three small water snakes to find him the corpse of the former patriarch and the "token of returning to the clan" is his limit, and at this time there is already a faint pain in his mind, and he wants to come to the spiritual sense It has already cost a lot, and it is difficult to persist for a long time.

Three water snakes shuttled non-stop in the crevices of the stone, and soon came to a corpse and rummaged through it, even the mud under it, but unfortunately there was nothing in the mud except a rusty steel knife Discover.

After a while, almost all the carcasses were searched, even the animal carcass was not spared. Unfortunately, Li Can didn't find what he wanted, and on the contrary, he became more confused.

Through the vision of the three water snakes, Li Can saw that most of the weapons recovered from the mud were broken into several pieces, and the damage was quite serious. He didn't know what kind of battle the ancestors experienced when fighting this monster.

But on that animal bone, Li Can saw an even weirder scene.

Previously, his spiritual sense had only roughly scanned the animal carcass, so he hadn't found anything strange.But looking again at this time, I found that the limbs, body and even the broken tailbone of the animal skeleton were all made up of various bones.

These bones are big or small, thick or thin, and have different colors, but they can be seamlessly joined together to form a real skeleton. Such a strange shape naturally makes Li Can quite curious.

Confused, Li Can drove the water snake to wrap around several bones, and then pulled it hard. There seemed to be a crisp "click" sound in the water, and the bones that were originally interlocking suddenly fell apart, and it was so easy tear them off.

Seeing this, Li Can pondered for a moment, but at this moment his chest was a little stuffy. Even if he had practiced water-type kung fu, he could breathe in water, but after all, casting spells in water would consume a lot of energy, and because of his realm, breathing underwater was not smooth. Free, still need to return to the lake for a while.

In this way, I also take care of the situation of the formation by the way, lest the spirit stones run out and the formation stagnates, and it will be very troublesome to trap myself here.

Li Can immediately ordered the water snake to pick up a few animal bones, and then urged the water escape technique to return to the entrance of the cave. When he came, he didn't know the situation in the cave, so he was cautious and slow, but when he returned, he was quite fast, but he returned to the entrance of the cave in time for a cup of tea.

At this time, the entrance of the cave is still as smooth as a mirror, without any ripples.

Returning to the outside of the cave was very smooth. When Li Can rose from the middle and appeared in the formation, he immediately stepped out holding the formation flag. At this time, the red spirit stone had already consumed four-fifths of the formation disk. , about half a stick of incense time will be exhausted.

Seeing this, Li Can nodded secretly, so that he knew it well.

On the surface of the lake, Li Can sat cross-legged as if floating on it, but held a few fragments of animal skeletons in his hand to watch carefully.

These broken bones were originally the spine of the animal skeleton, and they were connected together front and back, but at the moment they seemed to be unrelated, and even if they were pieced together, the original appearance could not be seen at all.

Li Can believed that even if he showed these broken bones to others at this time, no one would believe that these broken bones, which have nothing to do with their length, thickness, or even color, turned out to be a complete spine before.

But when he looked carefully, something suddenly came to his mind, and his body trembled, and his expression changed drastically, and he blurted out:
"Could it be that it's a strange creature in the Devouring Abyss, not a beast-shaped skeleton?"
