After Ye Wujin finished speaking, he stood on the edge of the cliff and observed the situation in the cave.
In a short period of time, several talisman masters who looked like casual cultivators came to the cave entrance. They seemed to be a little wary of each other. They stared at each other from a certain distance for a while, and then each of them found a different cave at the entrance of the maze and crawled in.
It seems that they don't know where the Earth Scale Monster entered the maze cave from, so they can only choose a random path and try their luck.
After standing there for a while and finding that no one else showed up, they walked down along the stone platform at the edge of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff.
Standing in front of the maze, Ye Li truly felt the shock of this huge cave. It was like a giant door leading to the underground world, full of attraction.
“Let’s take a look around first and see if there are any marks on the nearby cave entrances.
Since Fourth Brother and his companions came down from this path, they probably found a place to enter the cave nearby. It would be best if we enter from the place they walked. Otherwise, the terrain here is too complicated, and since everyone entered from different routes, the possibility of meeting each other is too low. "
Ye Wujin spoke to everyone.
Ye Li and the others nodded, and began to check the surrounding entrances separately.
Soon, Ye Li found the mark of leaves on a passage and shouted to the others: "Third Grandpa, elders, come over here quickly, I found the mark they left."
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Wujin and his three companions rushed over. Upon taking a look, they saw a leaf mark painted on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave.
However, this time the leaves do not have petioles, which is somewhat different from the previous ones.
Ye Li was about to ask Ye Wujin why, but Ye Wujin explained first: "Ye Li, this leaf means that they have entered this cave.
After all, it is difficult to distinguish east, west, south, and north in the cave. If they encounter a fork in the road, they will leave a mark on the road they have chosen. "
When Ye Li heard this, he nodded quickly.
Immediately afterwards, the group quickly entered the cave.
The light in the cave quickly dimmed, and Ye Li and the other four had to take out crystal lamps and hang them around their waists in order to see the surrounding situation clearly.
The cave was much more spacious than Ye Li had imagined, and even if five people walked side by side, it would not seem crowded.
Moreover, after entering the cave, Ye Li did not feel that it was cold at all. Instead, he felt a faint sense of warmth.
"Hey, what's going on? Could it be that the temperature of the magma at the bottom of the cave has risen again? It's even getting warm here.
It used to be very cold and damp here, but now it seems that all the moisture has been dried up, and the cave walls are also very dry."
Ye Wujin also discovered something unusual and couldn't help but speak in confusion.
Ye Li didn’t know what it was like in the past, but now it seems that there have been some changes here.
For some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something was about to happen.
But now is not the time to think too much. Ye Canglong and the hunting team are both under this cave, and they must find a way to find each other.
The five people walked along the cave entrance, quickening their pace as they went deeper into the cave. The team still maintained its previous formation.
Ye Li was sandwiched between the four people, which was relatively the safest place.
After walking for about half an hour, the group did not find anything unusual, let alone people and monsters, not even a single insect was seen.
They did see several leaf markings along the way, which helped them make a choice at the fork in the road.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, three forks appeared in front of them again. When the five people were about to look for marks at the three forks, Elder Ning suddenly exclaimed, "Look, there are bloodstains here."
Following his shout, everyone looked towards the fork in the road on the far right, only to see a pool of blood at the fork illuminated by the light.
The five people hurried to the fork in the road on the far right, and then suddenly discovered that there was not just one pool of blood here, but it extended all the way to the depths of the fork in the road.
Because the light from the crystal lamp could not reach farther, they did not know what was happening ahead.
"Whose blood is this? Is it from humans or monsters? Could it be from the hunting team?"
Elder Gan showed a worried look on his face.
Ye Li looked at the bloodstains around him, then raised his head to look at the rock wall. Suddenly, his face changed and he said, "The hunting team took this road, but the mark only marked half of the leaf. They obviously encountered danger and didn't have time to finish it!"
Hearing Ye Li's call, Ye Wujin and the three elders noticed the marks on the wall. Sure enough, the leaf was only half drawn, and the lines were messy. It was obvious that it was drawn very hastily.
This discovery made the five people's expressions change drastically, and their hearts were filled with worry.
Ye Li walked to the bloodstain and squatted down, gently touching it with his hand and found that although the bloodstain was sticky, it had not completely dried up, proving that the time interval was not too long.
"Third Grandpa, the blood hasn't dried completely yet. Maybe they haven't been away from here for too long."
Ye Li spoke up.
Ye Wujin said: "Yeah, I think so too. Let's catch up and take a look. But be careful, this is not a good place. There are too many unknown dangers."
After saying that, Ye Wujin took the lead and walked into the fork in the road. Everyone resumed their battle formation and began to move forward in the direction of the bloodstains.
Not long after they walked, they found a wolfhound-like monster covered in earth-yellow armor lying dead in the passage.
Judging from the traces around, the blood just now came from the monster in front of him.
There was a huge penetrating wound on the side of the monster, as if the attack had directly penetrated deep into its body, causing it to eventually die there.
Seeing that the bloodstains belonged to a monster, the five people immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression on Ye Wujin's face immediately became serious again.
"It seems that there is indeed something unusual here. This monster is a mole wolf, which is notoriously timid and cautious. It moves in groups. If it finds the enemy a little tricky, it will retreat.
But you see, even though this mole wolf was seriously injured, it still insisted on chasing the direction of the hunting team. What was the reason
Whether they have gone crazy or there is some other danger behind them, we don't know yet.
But either way, it doesn’t look good.”
Hearing Ye Wujiu's words, Ye Li also frowned.
He couldn't help but think of what Ye Xiangyi had said before, saying that the monsters had become a little violent recently, and this might be the reason why these moleskins had become fearless of life and death.
"Let's go, everyone, concentrate, the road ahead may not be so peaceful anymore."
Looking at the pitch-black depths of the cave ahead, Ye Wujin's eyes became more and more worried.
