Looking forward in the direction of the bearded man's finger, as he said, in the densest place of the pile of corpses, the corpse lying on the top was pressed on the wall next to it with his right hand. Four fingers penetrated into the wall without pointing their fingers, as if they were really picking something in the crack of the wall.--./-./

Seeing this phenomenon, we all knew that the place must be extraordinary. So the three of us walked over the corpse under our feet and walked forward step by step. Then we climbed up the pile of corpses, gradually approached the strange corpse, and finally stopped one meter beside us.

The light of three flashlights hit the wall at the same time, and three vague gaps appeared in front of you, obviously three seams of a secret door. This is exactly the same as the secret door we found downstairs just now. Whether it is the height and size of the secret door, or the width and depth of the joints, the two secret doors belong to the same craft, which means that there are more than one secret door like this in this passage.

The fingers of the corpse happened to be inserted into the gap on the left side of the secret door, but the secret door was completely closed as the moment his fingers penetrated, resulting in the four fingers being tightly clamped. The finger bones were clamped into comminuted fractures, looking like four flat and flat strips of flesh.

Looking at the closed secret door in front of me, I gradually sorted out a clue in my mind. Then I jumped down the pile of corpses and continued to walk up the stairs, widening my eyes and looking for traces on the walls as I walked.

When the prince saw me rushing up alone, he hurriedly shouted at me: "What are you doing? Be careful of the mechanism!"

I turned around and waved my hand to him: "Even if there is a mechanism, it should have been triggered by these blood demons. These corpses are like our wayfinding stones, and they should be absolutely safe now."

Hu and Wang also felt that what I said was reasonable and knew that my actions must have no intention at this time, so they walked down the pile of corpses with me and followed me closely to prevent accidents from happening suddenly.

As I expected, after walking upwards for about a hundred meters, traces of a secret door appeared again on the right side of the stairway passage, which was exactly the same as the two secret doors I had discovered before. And around the secret door, the number of corpses increased significantly, while the number of corpses slightly far from the secret door was relatively small.

Walking upwards, similar secret doors appear one after another, one will appear every distance of one or two hundred meters. At the same time, a large number of corpses are piled up next to each secret door. The death status and traces of the corpses appear exactly the same as the pile of corpses behind them.

At this moment, I don’t need to explain in detail. Hu and Wang could also see some clues from it. The prince took the lead in breaking the silence and said, “Look at this point. These blood demons wearing armor all rushed out of the secret door. They gave the masters wearing animal skin a front and back attack."

The bearded man nodded and added: "But these beast-skinned blood demons seem to have stronger abilities. Although they have died a lot, they are not completely caught in the stage of being beaten, and the number of people killed is several times greater than their own."

The analysis of both of them was exactly the same as what I thought, but I was considering not only these issues at this time. Instead, based on the design of these secret doors, I infer the architectural structure of this demon cave.

I held the secret door in front of me and thought for a long time. After the whole idea was roughly straightened out, I explained my thoughts.

According to my judgment, we did not go astray. The so-called second way out should not exist. The road under our feet should be the only way to the top of the tower.

The reason for this inference is that after I walked through the long stairwell several times, I had a very intuitive feeling of the length and circumference of the entire staircase. In addition, I had been staying in the three-story space downstairs for a long time. Therefore, I had a rough understanding of the size and scope of this magic cave.

This staircase was obviously built around the entire mountain, and the arc it produced coincides with the arc of the outer contour of the peak. Why did it take huge amounts of manpower and material resources to build such an extremely long and seemingly useless staircase? This is an important question that I have never figured out in my heart.

Now when I face the hidden secret doors in front of me, I finally understand the actual purpose of this approach and roughly understand the specific structure inside the demon cave. These secret doors are to resist the important links of foreign enemies. The internal guards can quietly cover the enemy's back from the secret doors, and form a favorable situation of front and back attacks in such a narrow and long space.

This approach is completely in line with Huiling's nature. This person is not only insidious and cunning, but also good at using troops. His interpretation of war always has outstanding features. He seems to like to attack the enemy by surprise. He used groundwater routes to mobilize troops and let his excellent troops take the lead in sneaking into the interior of Jiulong Royal City. The secret door he designed now has similarities with the battle back then.

According to my guess, assuming that the diameter of the cylindrical peak is 300 meters in diameter, the width of the stairwell and the thickness of the walls on both sides should only occupy about 40 to 50 meters. This narrow passage is like a giant dragon wrapped around the outside of the peak, circling upward according to the outline of the peak.

Behind the inner wall of the stairwell, there is another space hidden in it. Its shape should also look like a cylinder, which is basically the same as the outline of the mountain, except that the diameter of the space is shortened by dozens of meters accordingly. This space is located in the middle of the three floors inside the mountain.

This architectural structure is like adding a partition inside a cylinder. The ones separated on the periphery are only the narrower passage part, and the largest and most important activity space is the largest and most important activity space. It is used to hoard troops and mobilize commands, so that any group of troops can wander through the secret door to any position in the passage.

At that time, many blood demons in the beast-skinned area entered the entrance below and groped up the stairs. But when everyone arrived at this position, a large number of guards rushed out of the secret door and immediately broke the blood demon of the beast-skinned area like a long snake, and divided it into several small battle groups to fight.

This was originally an excellent way for King Huiling to kill the enemy, but he never expected that these beast-skinned blood demons came prepared, and even their weapons were specially made against the blood demon clan, so both sides were hard to separate. In the end, they all died here. Judging from the number of deaths on both sides, the beast-skinned blood demon and the armored blood demon were about 37. The armored blood demon occupied most of the corpses. In comparison, the death toll of the beast-skinned blood demon was much smaller, which shows that their combat ability was quite powerful.

While he was talking, he suddenly saw the bearded man standing beside him staring at the pile of corpses in front of him and frowned, as if he had noticed something unusual. He then took two steps in the direction of the pile of corpses, reached out and grabbed a piece of red thing, and pulled it out hard. A loud noise sounded, and a large number of corpses were brought to a skew by the red thing. The piles of corpses that were originally stacked together had already slid down in a mess.

I looked at the things in the bearded man's hand again. It turned out to be the corpse of a giant red snake. Although the snake's head had been cut off and it had severely shrunk with the weathering of thousands of years, even so, it still could not hide its huge size. I could recognize at a glance that this was the terrifying snake monster with strange appearance.

As the pile of corpses dispersed, three or four snake monsters were exposed. There were also traces of the remaining pieces of the crushed emperor butterflies. It was obvious that these two creatures had also joined the battle group at that time.

Seeing this scene, a sudden enlightenment appeared in my mind, and I felt that I had touched the truth of the matter. So I hurriedly called Hu, and Wang and the other two returned the same way, and opened several piles of corpses piled up next to the secret door. Sure enough, exactly what I guessed. There were several snake monsters buried in each pile, and the traces of the giant butterfly being crushed were clearly visible, with special patterns on their wings everywhere.

The prince murmured to himself as he looked at the corpses of these snake monsters: "Why are the strengths of these two blood monsters so different? The armored ones, the snake monster and giant butterfly, could not beat those who wore animal skins, and obviously the armored ones died more. Could it be that the breeds of these grandsons are not good?"

After hearing him say that, I shook my head repeatedly: "Looking at the problem, you should not just look at the surface, nor do you have to be bound by a certain factor. You should open your thinking as much as possible and make inferences from both positive and negative directions. Both sides of the offense and defense are blood monsters, and even if there is some gap in abilities, there is no big gap. If you really fight with each other evenly, half of the casualties account for each other. What's more, these armored blood monsters suddenly rushed out of the secret door and raided around the enemy's back, which should be more beneficial to them."

Then I pointed to the many corpses under the stairs and continued: "Look at the beginning of the battlefield, the death toll of blood demons wearing beast skins is not much different from that of blood demons wearing armor, and even blood demons wearing beast skins will die more. This shows that the beginning of the matter was developed according to the trend I had just predicted. But later, as long as there are snake monster corpses, the armored blood demons will suffer heavy casualties, and the number is obviously higher than that of blood demons in beast skins. Think about it carefully, what is the reason?"

The prince had already heard the clues from my words, but he could not believe the bizarre answer. He stuttered in surprise: "Is it difficult... these snake monsters... are they the same group of people wearing animal skins?"

I nodded and replied, "From the scene, this possibility is very high. According to common sense, the beast-skinned blood demon was attacked by the opponent. With the difference in numbers of people, it is difficult for the beast-skinned blood demon to break through. But not only did they not wipe out the entire army, they killed all the opponent's defenders, and only lost a small part of them. They could not be so powerful, and you can also see that Huiling's subordinates have a clear advantage in the war with Jiulong. How could they easily lose to these foreign blood demons? Without the help of the snake monster and the giant butterfly, this matter would not make sense."

The prince asked me suspiciously, "But the blood demons in the beast-skinned downstairs were obviously dead at the hands of the snake monster, which means that these people and the snake monster are hostile. Why did they turn around when they arrive in this passage? These stinky snakes have no brains, so can they know how to rebel?"

I shook my head and sighed, "This is exactly what I can't figure out. Whether it is a snake monster or a giant butterfly, they need to be driven by someone to attack. Judging from the remains of the scene downstairs, the snake monster is clearly attacking these beast-skinned blood demons, but when they get here, they turn their heads to attack Hui Ling's subordinates. This is really hard to understand. I preliminarily speculate that there may be a beast-driver with more superb ability in these beast-skinned blood demons, who snatched the control of the two creatures from the other party's hands. Just like the ticks on the second floor, they were still attacking the other party at first, but they were completely controlled by the other party's corpse bells soon."

The three of them were discussing each other, and at this time, Ji Minhui, Sun Wu and others also rushed up. Seeing that we were reluctant to return, everyone would naturally feel relieved. Then they heard our voices and knew that the three of us were not too far from them, so they groped all the way and followed them.

Seeing that there was nothing else around, I regained my spirits and led everyone along the way across the pile of corpses to continue moving forward. (Your support on this site.com is my greatest motivation.)
