The name of a man is the shadow of a tree, and the Ghostly Underworld Cave really lives up to its name.

The women just looked at it for a few moments and then didn't dare to look at it again.

Looking at this, it was as if the bottom was connected to the Underworld House, and dismal screams came out from below from time to time, sending shivers down one's spine.

"This is the Ghost Underworld Cave, it's indeed a bit creepy, can there be an oudong branch there, could those two boys be lying to me?" Li Mu muttered in a low voice.

Lin Wan was closest to him and shivered as she asked, "Hubby, what are you chanting?"

Li Mu held her hand and responded, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, it's nothing, I just think this place is rather evil."

"Very wicked indeed, husband, shall we go down!"

Liamu couldn't decide what to do, his eyes looking around.

"What are you looking for?" Lin Wan asked.

"Rope, those two boys couldn't have gone down there without leaving a rope."

"Over there!" Sister Hong pointed her finger in the distance.

A few people walked over to check it out and found a rope tied to a boulder that ran down the mountain wall and into the Ghostly Underworld Cave.

"They went down here." Sister Red said.

Reimu tugged on the rope and gently lifted it upwards.

"Well?" Mrs. Red asked.

"There's no weight, the man's not on the rope."

"They've gone to the bottom?"

"It's also possible that something happened."

"Auntie, what should we do, should we go down?"

Li Mu didn't answer her right away, and after listening sideways for a while, he asked them, "You guys, do you think that the ghostly screams down here are the sound of the wind, or..."

The three women also listened carefully in defense, and Lin Wan responded, "It should be the sound of the wind, it sounds like a scream."

Sister Hong and Shen Xingyue nodded their heads together, agreeing that it was nothing more than the sound of the wind, not some ghostly cry.

Li Mu laughed, "That is to say, this place is just scary to look at, and there may not be any danger down there, so let's do it this way, you guys stay on guard up there, and Hope and I will go down to take a look."

As soon as the words came out, the women immediately objected.

Li Mu advised, "Look at what you are now before you raise any objections, in your current state, can you accompany me on this adventure?"

Lin Wan and the others looked at each other, and also felt that each other's appearance was clearly revealing.

To venture out in this state is no different from sending someone to their death, with weak hands and feet, not to mention coping with sudden dangers, it's probably not even possible to tug on the rope.

This place is very evil, Lin Wan and the others are not small in courage, but for some reason, the closer they get to the ghost cave, the more they will feel scared and fearful, all without the usual bravery.

On the side, Xiao Yuan also spoke out, "Master is right, you guys are just sending yourselves to death if you go down there, so it's better not to risk it."

"Hope, do you know why, why are we so scared?" Lin Wan asked in disbelief.

Xiao Yuan explained, "Female master, you are only mortals, the demonic aura here is very prevalent, since ancient times, good and evil are not two sides of the same coin, as evil is prevalent in this place, your aura will naturally be suppressed."

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"I'm a god, so naturally I'm not afraid of evil."

"What about him, why isn't he afraid too?"

Hope answered dryly, "Because master is a great demon!"

Li Mu scolded, "Stinky dog, if you dare to say I'm a great demon again, I'll throw you straight down."

Shen Xingyue suggested, "Brother Mu, let's not even go down and wait for those two to come back."

Li Mu laughed, "What if they can't come back, do we have to wait forever?"

"Maybe, maybe they'll be back in a little while."

"Even if they come back, what do you want to do, rob them of what they got, Star Moon, when this kind of thing is done, you have to kill and kill, if you guys agree to that, I'll put my hands up for it."

"Don't be ridiculous, we're not going to agree with you being evil."

"If we can't do evil, waiting is the least desirable way; if they don't come back, it's pointless for us to wait, and if they do, what excuse do we have for befriending them?"

"Auntie, don't beat around the bush, what are you going to do?"

"Hope and I will go down and find the Wu Teng branch before they do, and then we will find a way to destroy the other Wu Teng branches, so that we will have an excuse to hook up with them."

It was too late to allow them to discuss it carefully, and for the moment, Li Mu's idea was the safest way to go.

Lin Wan and the others had no choice but to agree to his adventure.

When they were about to leave, a few of the women inevitably gave another thousand instructions.

Li Mu pointed towards his back and said with a disdainful face, "I have a shotgun, and a plate-faced knife, this is like my home turf, that is, if I encounter that pig head again, I can still fight with it, don't worry, I am capable of defending myself."

They hadn't brought any ropes with them on this trip, and Li Mu decided that he would just borrow the rope in front of him and let Hope lie on his back and climb down the rope.

Gradually, he approached the vortex, and his heart was on edge.

In front of his eyes, a large black and gray smoke was slowly swirling, and those hissing sounds were like many evil spirits being tortured in hell.

After a moment's pause, he instructed Hope in a low voice, "Little one, run away when you see something bad, don't worry about me!"

Hope doesn't say anything, probably not listening.

As Li Mu began to traverse the vortex and his body gradually disappeared into the black mist, Hope said, "Master, the sense of oppression here is so strong that I'm having some difficulty breathing."

"How are you doing, if you can't, go up!"

"It's okay, I can carry it!"

Li Mu continued to go down, the visual distance at the moment was less than three feet, and it was hard to see anything but smoke around him.

The feeling of oppression around him grew stronger, and Hope wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and closed her eyes, her heart thumping one after the other.

Little Brother Li, however, was relaxed, and now he was as good as walking in a fog, except for his obstructed vision, but there was no adverse reaction.

The thickness of the fog was about twenty to thirty meters.

To him, this distance was nothing; he descended quickly, and in a short time, passed through the black mist quite smoothly.

The length of the rope was nearing its end, and seeing that there happened to be a protruding stone platform next to it, Li Mu jumped onto it with a long leap and raised his eyes to look around.

Hope is also gradually recovering and accompanies him, glancing around.

After looking at it for a while, Li Mu's attention was drawn to the stone wall.

The stone wall is dark in color, with a glossy surface and neat edges, as if it were cut with a knife to see the corners.

He used his hand to touch the stone wall, and it felt very special, resembling stone and iron, and compared to ordinary stones, there existed a great difference.

Li Mu drew out the plate-faced knife from his back and used the tip of the knife to dig into the stone wall, only to find that the stone wall was so hard that even though he exerted all his strength, there wasn't even a white edge.

He said curiously, "Huh, what kind of material is this, it's so hard, could it be some kind of treasure?"

Hope also stretched out her little paw to touch it and said to him, "It's just ordinary rock, not a treasure."

"Then why is it so tough?"

Hope groped carefully for a while longer, "Hmm, I see, the evil qi here is too prevalent, the grudges permeate the stone walls, and these rocks have turned into grudge accumulation stones."

"Accumulated Grudge Stone, is this thing worth anything?"

"It's neither valuable nor auspicious, and the object is so hard that it's not easy to mine, master, you'd better not hit it."

Since it wasn't worth anything, Li Mu didn't bother to pay any more attention to it and looked down towards the bottom.

Only the fog in the Ghostly Underworld Cave was filled with mist, and although it wasn't like the black fog where you couldn't see your fingers, the visibility was also very limited.

Li Mu scanned the area while saying suspiciously, "It's really strange, before we came in, we could clearly hear the screams, how come after we came here, it's silent instead."

Hope was puzzled by this.

After one person and one wolf observed for a while longer, Hope said to Li Mu, "Master, I didn't find any Wu Teng branches, and the surrounding area is bare stone walls with no epiphytes."

"That's not surprising, according to those two boys, the Wu-Teng branches grow deep in the Ghost Cave, and they certainly can't be found near the cave entrance."

Hope looked down, the darkness was so deep that she couldn't help but murmur, "The depths of the ghost cave, will there be danger there?"

Li Mu smiled and replied, "There shouldn't be any danger, the Ghostly Underworld Cave is just a passageway, no one knows where it ends, and some barren grasses have grown in the depths of the passageway, that is, the Wu Teng branch they are looking for!"

"Master, can grass grow on such a hard stone wall?"

Li Mu stroked his chin and said uncertainly, "That's what the news I heard said, and I don't know if it's true or not, but since I'm here, I might as well go down and take a look."

"Master, where are those two boys, can you find them?"

"I can't find them, they should have gone down, the distance is too far, I can't sense them."

With that said, a hand touched Hope's head.

"We don't need to pay attention to these things, since the Ghost Specter Vine grows in the depths of the Ghost Cave, let's go down a bit."

Hope obliged, still on his back, and let him lead the way down.

Surrounded by protruding rocks, it was easy to find borrowing points.

Li Mu's body is agile, arm strength is too strong, in this kind of stone wall climbing with bare hands, not dare to say as if walking on the ground, but also amazing speed.

He carried Hope on his back and quickly climbed towards the bottom, one person and one beast looking around from time to time, always keeping an eye on the surrounding movements.

After about a bell had passed, Hope whispered in his ear, "Stop!"

Immediately stopping his stance, Li Mu lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hope whispered, "Master, there are two people down there, hiding on the protruding rocks, sneaking around, I wonder what they're doing?"

"Is that the brothers and sisters?"

"It's a bit far away, I can't see clearly, but it's two young men, it should be them!"

Li Mu nodded, "Okay, let's go over and take a look!"

He continued to climb downward, almost another quarter of an hour had passed, Li Mu also found each other, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, these two people were not other people, it was Zhou Tian and Gao Song.

After another while, the pair of masters and brothers finally noticed them, gesturing and shouting in low voices, telling Li Mu to hurry over and not to go any further down, it was dangerous down there.

Li Mu hemmed and hawed and said to Hope, "Let's go over there, these two are kind of interesting, or hotheads."

He turned and crawled toward the rock where the two were hiding.

Not long after, coming to their side, Zhou Tian hurriedly asked, "You've got a lot of guts, carrying a dog on your back and daring to come down, don't want to die!"

Gao Song concurred, "That's right, we are so well prepared that we don't dare to go down, but you still want to keep climbing down, you really want money but not life."
