Seeing that Li Xiang didn’t refuse, he immediately followed.

Li Xiang didn’t say anything. He directly went to the cave entrance and jumped in. Ye Qiu jumped after him, followed by Alice, Alicia, and the others.

As soon as they entered, they followed the current and quickly slid down.

However, they were all extremely powerful and could even fly. They did not care about this small difference.

“Woo…”

Suddenly, a whimpering sound came from the depths of the cave. Accompanied by a berserk suction force, it swept through everyone.

This suction force was extremely strong, especially in the narrow and cramped space of the cave. It was almost impossible to resist.

Li Xiang said, “This suction force is strange. Be careful!”

Then, he was swept into the water flow by this force and surged into the depths of the cave.

This cave was not straight, but curved. There were even all kinds of reefs and sharp objects blocking it. If one didn’t have enough strength, one careless mistake would cause one’s head to bleed, or even die.

Li Xiang and the others were very strong. Even if they crashed into the tunnel, it would not be Li Xiang who would be crushed, but the rock. However, the huge impact was still unable to be removed. The tunnel was filled with potholes after crushing. It was very embarrassing.

“Bang!”

After another collision, Li Xiang felt that the suction force had disappeared. There was nothing below him. He opened his arms almost instinctively, and he landed lightly on the ground.

The ground beneath his feet was still very slippery, but this was no longer a narrow tunnel.

The surroundings were pitch-black and one could not see anything.

Of course, this kind of darkness was not an obstacle for transcendents. If one could not even see at night and still dared to enter such a dangerous place, it was simply courting death. No one could save them.

However, when he swept his gaze across, Li Xiang’s expression changed slightly.

The surroundings were filled with countless white bones. The number was simply uncountable. As far as the eye could see, there were white bones. It was like an ocean made of white bones. There were no less than a million of them.

What was even more shocking was that these bones were all human. There were no other races or beasts. They were all human.

“Bang!”

A muffled sound came from behind, accompanied by a cry of pain.

“Hiss! It hurts so much! Which wicked guy dug this f*cking hole? Not only was it long, but it was also so crooked. He was trying to trick people to death! Luckily I’m a cultivator. Otherwise, I would have been smashed into minced meat! I’ve almost fainted!”

Ye Qiu also climbed up from the ground with a bruised and swollen face, full of complaints.

But compared to Ye Qiu, Alice, Alicia, and the others who came in later were completely sound.

Not only were their bodies strong, but their control over their strength was also very exquisite. The only thing was that there was a bit more mud and water on their armor. With a shake, they had already returned to normal.

Li Xiang raised his head and looked at the entrance of the cave, “It’s easy to enter this cave, but hard to leave. I think it should be a passageway that can only be entered but not exited. Of course, if we insist on getting out from here, it would only be a little more troublesome. We might be slow but it’s not impossible. The strangest thing is the suction force. If we don’t solve it, then we won’t be able to get out of here!”

Ye Qiu suddenly shouted, “Oh my god! What on earth happened here? Why are there so many white bones? Good lord, there are at least a million of them! It’s too cruel. Even if there were grave goods, it shouldn’t sacrifice so many people! It’s too tragic. The owner of this tomb is definitely an extremely cruel person. He’s completely inhumane!” It was clear that after seeing the situation around him, he was incomparably shocked.

Li Xiang shook his head. He didn’t know much about the culture of tombs, but this was the myriad world continent after all. Anything strange could happen here, so he couldn’t jump to any conclusions.

“Friend, the resentment here is sky-high and the negative aura is threatening. Something bad will definitely happen here!” said Ye Qiu with a solemn expression. A strange light flickered in his eyes. It was not just a guess!

“These people died in a very strange way. They were all beheaded and their heads were separated. There are no exceptions. The tomb owner built such a large tomb and killed so many of his kind. It’s simply impossible to describe how cruel he was.”

Hearing Ye Qiu said this, Li Xiang noticed that these corpses were abnormal. Just as he said, their bodies and heads were separated. Moreover, the parts where these corpses were decapitated were very sharp and smooth. It was clear that they had been cut off by sharp weapons.

“These people should have been decapitated by very sharp weapons!”

Hearing this, Ye Qiu squatted down and looked carefully. He nodded his head, “It’s true. It seems like the owner of this tomb didn’t bury living people with him. Instead, he used sharp weapons to kill people to be buried with him. No wonder the resentment here is so thick. It’s too savage. This is a population of a million!”

Ye Qiu’s tone was trembling. It wasn’t just because of the owner’s savagery. It was also because, after countless years of accumulation, such resentment would inevitably spawn terrifying evil creatures. It would be extremely difficult to deal with them.

At this moment, Li Xiang also activated his Starlight Divine Eye and looked around but he didn’t find any demon or evil creature. With the resentment and negative aura of the millions of people here, it didn’t spawn a terrifying evil creature. Was this reasonable?

It was too f*cking unreasonable!

There must be something fishy!

There must be some sort of mystery hidden here.

“There isn’t a demon here right now. There’s only a negative aura and resentment, but there’s no ghost or evil aura. This is too abnormal. Either the demonic energy that was born isn’t here, or there are other methods to suppress the growth of demonic energy.”

Looking around, Li Xiang realized that this was a huge pit that could hold the bones of millions of people.

After crossing the deep pit, there was a cliff that was almost completely perpendicular to the ground. It was not an easy task to climb up.

Other than that, there was no other passage in this underground space.

There was a gap of two to three meters wide in the middle of the cliff. There were no ropes. For many people with common strength, they could only climb up bit by bit.

However, such people were only a minority. Many people had their methods.

Li Xiang saw a blonde woman take out a scroll. After activating it, her body immediately floated up. She casually grabbed the stone wall and used the force to jump up. Then, she flew up rapidly.

This was a levitation spell scroll. It was not considered precious but it was impressive.

He had only seen people who used a floating scroll to fall from a high place, but he had never seen someone who could use it to climb up.

Someone took out two daggers and inserted them alternately into the stone wall, climbing up at high speed.

There was also a middle-aged man. A golden rope appeared in his hand. With a casual toss, the rope quickly extended and appeared at the top of the cliff. Then, it automatically wrapped itself around the top and tied a knot.

With a slight tug, the middle-aged man was pulled up by the rope. He caught up and reached the top of the cliff faster than the woman who had used the levitation spell.
