Ling Chenyu followed closely, following Xia Yanxian's steps that seemed to come with its own BGM, and approached the strange old man who exuded the aura of "I am very mysterious".

Ling Chenyu took the lead and started talking a lot.

"Oh my god, these bones are piled up like a bone exhibition, and they are classified into categories, from antique to fresh, everything is available. It's simply a 'chronicle of human bones'!

Old man, tell me, did these people lose to you in a game of Landlord, and then, with a snap, they became part of your collection? "

When the strange old man heard this, his nose twitched, as if there were two small rocket launchers hidden in his nostrils, and he spewed out a foul smell that was enough to smoke down a forest.

Then he put on an attitude of "I am a prophet and I am afraid of no one" and hummed and hawed.

“Humph, you mortals, what can you do if you catch me? The wheel of fate is already rolling forward, and it will be as easy to crush you as it is to crush an ant! Gaga gaga…”

When Ling Chenyu heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Did this old man take the wrong medicine this morning, or was his head pecked by his own chicken last night?"

He suppressed his smile and asked in a serious tone.

"Destiny? Old man, are you sure you're not saying 'My fate is in my own hands, but I'm determined to go against it!'"

The strange old man looked at the expressions on everyone's faces and thought, "What did you say? The wind is too strong and I can't hear you clearly."

I was so proud in my heart, as if I had already seen myself becoming a legendary figure in Zhuanyun Town, and the corners of my mouth were almost stretched to the back of my head.

"Right, right, right. You are all small chess pieces on the chessboard of the universe, and I am just a real veteran who watches the game without saying a word!

Zhuanyi Town, Zhuanyi Town, what a clever name it is. It means to pass the fate of you unlucky people around like a baton.

In the end, hehe, maybe it will be passed to me, and I will become the mysterious boss who controls fate! Hehehe..."

At this point, the strange old man's laughter suddenly stopped as if the mute button had been pressed.

The whole person was like a mobile phone that had been drained of power and the screen went black.

Seeing this, Ling Chenyu stretched out his hand helplessly and gently placed it on the old man's carotid artery.

Then he shook his head at everyone with an expression that said, "I tried my best, but this guy has such a low sense of humor that he laughed himself to death."

The movements were so standard that it seemed as if they were performing a sacred ritual.

Everyone knew that the old man was dead.

When everyone heard this, they all showed expressions that said "the plot twists are more tortuous than a mountain road." Xia Yanxian even rolled his eyes and complained.

"Ling Chenyu, is your mouth blessed? How come even the weird old man can be amused to death by you when you speak?"

Ling Chenyu shrugged, put on an expression of "I'm helpless too" and said with a smile.

"I call this 'say what you mean', but this time I obviously used it in the wrong place. I wanted to make him laugh, but ended up making him laugh to death. Oh, what a sin. "

Just when everyone was preparing to hold a simple memorial service for this "master of laughter",

Ling Chenyu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a new world.

"Wait, look at these bones, they seem to be arranged in a certain pattern, could it be a secret treasure map?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately became excited and gathered around to carefully examine the bones.

Xia Yanxian even lay directly on the ground, scanning the ground inch by inch with his eyes that were comparable to those of a microscope, for fear of missing any clues.

"Oh, it's true! Look, the placement of these bones seems to be imitating an ancient formation."

A teammate who is usually quite knowledgeable about history suddenly shouted.

"Array? Are you saying that these bones are actually a huge mechanism, and as long as we arrange them in a certain order, we can open the door to the treasure?"

Ling Chenyu's eyes lit up, as if he had seen mountains of gold and silver waving at him.

"Yes, yes, that's right! But this mechanism is definitely not that simple. There may be some trap hidden inside."

Another teammate added.

"A trap? What's there to be afraid of? With Ling Chenyu's 'crow's mouth' here, maybe he can talk away all the traps!"

Xia Yanxian joked.

When Ling Chenyu heard this, he almost vomited blood.

"Hey, hey, hey, Xia Yanxian, are you praising me or insulting me? I'm called 'Word Spirit', okay? Stop making random accusations against me!"

Just as everyone was laughing and playing, suddenly, a low roar came from deep inside the wooden house, as if something was waking up...

"Oh no, there's something under this wooden house!"

Ling Chenyu's face changed, and he immediately called on everyone to prepare for battle.

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped smiling and became serious.

As the low roar grew louder and louder, the wooden house seemed to be gently shaken by an invisible giant hand. Dust fell from the cracks in the roof, adding a bit of oppression to the tense atmosphere.

Ling Chenyu picked up a seemingly ordinary bone on the ground, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

"It seems that our 'Master of Laughter' left us not only a joke, but also a real challenge!"

Xia Yanxian was not to be outdone. He took out a small dagger from his waist. The tip of the knife reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight.

"No matter who is down there, the four of us are united and can accomplish our mission!"

Everyone was infected by his heroic spirit and took out their weapons, ready for battle.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the floor of the wooden house, and a cold air surged out from the crack, making people shiver.

"coming!"

Ling Chenyu shouted in a low voice, and everyone immediately formed a circle, standing back to back, staring vigilantly at the ever-widening crack.

At this moment, a huge black hand suddenly stretched out from the crack and rushed towards Ling Chenyu.

Ling Chenyu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He rolled sideways and narrowly avoided the attack.

The black hand missed and hit the floor hard, shaking the entire cabin.

"What...what is this?"

Ling Chenyu was still in shock. He turned around and looked at everyone, only to see that their faces were also filled with shock.

"Whatever it is, let's go together and knock it back into the ground!"

Xia Yanxian shouted and rushed forward first. The dagger in his hand drew silver tracks in the air, aiming directly at the black hand's vital points.

Seeing this, everyone started to attack.

For a moment, the wooden house was filled with the flashing of swords and sabers, and sparks flew as various weapons collided with the black hand.

However, the black hand was extremely tough, and no matter how everyone attacked, only shallow scars were left.

"This won't work. We have to find its weakness!"

Ling Chenyu reminded loudly while dodging the attack from the black hand.

"Weak point? Isn't the weak point the part that's exposed?"

A teammate asked doubtfully.

“No, I think this black hand is just the tip of the iceberg, and the real monster is still deep underground.

We have to find a way to draw it out, or find the source that controls it!"

Ling Chenyu's eyes were firm, as if he had seen through it all.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ling Chenyu suddenly remembered the bones arranged into a formation.

"Wait, maybe these bones are the key! If we arrange them according to the order of the formation, maybe we can lure out the monster or destroy its control mechanism!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately took action.

They moved the bones carefully, fearing that they might trigger any mechanism.

After some effort, the bones were finally arranged according to the order of the formation.

At this moment, the roar under the wooden house sounded again, but this time it came with a strange rhythm.

The black hand suddenly stopped attacking and began to slowly retract into the crack.

Then, the entire wooden house began to shake violently, as if something was awakening from deep underground...
