Chapter 377 Meeting is not as good as hearing about.
Cheng Feng didn't embarrass A Ning, who had run into their group.
Although they all look like a group of young people, in terms of actual age, Cheng Feng, Chen Wenjin, and the others are old enough to be A Ning's uncles and aunts.
However, if Aning really calls Huo Ling and the others "auntie," she'll probably get surrounded and beaten up by the three women.
A short while later, the group arrived at the large wooden box above, where the monster had been perched on the human-faced Buddha statue.
After Cheng Feng plucked its head from mid-air, its remaining body fell onto the wooden box containing the Eternal Radiance.
This caused the edge of the wooden box lid to warp from being smashed.
The wooden box was over two meters tall, much taller than the people in the box. To see what was inside, one would have to jump up to it.
"I'll go up and push the lid open first."
As Chen Wenjin spoke, she put her backpack on the ground, then quickly stepped forward, grabbed the top of the wooden box with one hand, and easily jumped to the edge of the box.
Ah Ning already knew about Chen Wenjin's situation, so she wasn't surprised by her skills.
Moreover, she was confident that, judging from Chen Wenjin's performance just now, she was no worse than her.
At this moment, Chen Wenjin grabbed the wooden box lid with one hand, which was sticking out from the edge, and then casually lifted it off the box.
With a loud crash, the lid of the huge solid wood box, weighing several hundred kilograms, slammed onto the ground, and the headless corpse that had been embedded in the lid rolled off to the ground.
Ah Ning remained outwardly calm, but the shock in her eyes betrayed her.
"Miss Chen, you have incredible strength!"
Chen Wenjin, standing above, glanced down at her but did not respond.
At this moment, Hei Xiazi, Zhang Qiling, and the others were all focused on the corpses that had fallen to the ground.
The body was very tall, exceeding two meters in height even without its head.
Hei Xiazi recalled the strange head that Cheng Feng had been holding and put it back on the corpse. He estimated that the head was about 2.3 or 2.4 meters tall.
"Boss, you said before that this corpse was going to eat the Eternal Flowing Clouds?"
Hei Xiazi asked, slightly puzzled.
Cheng Feng nodded: "That's right. I was able to hear its location earlier because it was trying to move the wooden box lid."
The monster reacted very quickly; it hid there the moment I moved.
As he spoke, Cheng Feng pointed to the giant human-faced Buddha statue above his head.
Hei Xiazi, Huo Ling, and the others looked up and suddenly realized that the human face seemed to resemble the monster's face in some ways.
"Only a monster like this could bring itself to eat this Eternal Flowing Clouds."
At this moment, Chen Wenjin, who was standing at the edge of the wooden box, spoke up.
The group snapped out of their daze; they had almost forgotten that they had come up here to witness the legendary Eternal Flowing Clouds.
Huo Ling and the other two women displayed their skills one after another, nimbly jumping onto the edge of the wooden box.
When the flashlight beam illuminated the entire box, Huo Ling frowned.
"This is what they call the 'Eternal Radiance'? It's true what they say, seeing it is not as good as hearing about it."
At this moment, only Chen Wenjin and her three companions were on the wooden box; Cheng Feng, Hei Xiazi, and the others did not go up to join in the fun.
In fact, Cheng Feng could tell from the stench permeating the air that the so-called "Eternal Flowing Clouds" was definitely not a good thing.
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
Looking at the silent Ah Ning beside him, Cheng Feng asked.
Ah Ning shook her head to indicate that she was not interested.
Soon Chen Wenjin and the others jumped down, and then Huo Ling came to Cheng Feng's side.
“Master, this ‘Eternal Flowing Clouds’ is nothing but a hollow name; it’s full of rotten spices and tattered bundles.”
Huo Ling's description was quite vivid; just now, she glanced inside the wooden box and saw it was filled with a pale red liquid.
The bottom was covered with spice residue that had been weathered and turned black.
On the water's surface were a dozen or so things wrapped in cloth, resembling beggar's chickens, arranged in the shape of a fish.
Moreover, exquisite bronze vessels for holding wine and beverages were placed around the four sides of the wooden box, making it a veritable large food box.
"Although it wasn't what I expected, it still satisfied my curiosity, so I should just take it easy."
Cheng Feng stroked Huo Ling's hair and gently comforted her.
Huo Ling nodded obediently.
"That's true, after all, I've personally witnessed the eternal flow of the sunset."
At this moment, some people who were also curious about the Wan Shi Liu Xia (a type of ancient Chinese cloud formation) began to approach the wooden box after they saw that Cheng Feng's group was no longer focusing on it.
After they peered inside the wooden box, they all looked disappointed.
By the time Wu Sansheng and the others caught up, those who had come up a step earlier had already lost interest in Wan Shi Liu Xia and were instead studying and examining the hole the monster had created.
"It seems the situation for Wan Shi Liu Xia isn't looking good."
Wu Sansheng glanced at A Ning next to Cheng Feng and spoke softly.
His business partner and half-brother, Xie Lianhuan, deliberately climbed onto the food box to take a look:
"It's that same old thing about worshipping evil gods. Those cloths are probably wrapped around the flesh of young boys and girls."
Wu Sansheng nodded. He had also realized that this feast of corpses was essentially what Mr. Lu Xun described as cannibalism.
They then turned their attention to the breach that was now surrounded by people.
Judging from the damaged edges, the inner layer is clearly made of wood, and the hole is deep and dark, its destination unknown.
Suddenly, Wu Sansheng saw a dark figure crawl out from within.
The next second, the people around the cave entrance scattered in surprise.
"A rice dumpling has crawled out! Everyone grab your weapons and take it down!"
Many of the lone wolves were fearless, and once they realized what was happening, some immediately picked up their guns and fired a burst of bullets at the shadowy figure.
A series of gunshots echoed through the air.
At this moment, Cheng Feng heard something unexpected through the loud noise, and he glanced at the cave entrance that was being targeted by the concentrated fire.
They discovered that the dark figure had been forced back into the passage, but the situation was not optimistic, as there was more than one dark figure inside.
As the shadowy figure fled, the group ceased their pointless shooting.
"Damn it, the rice dumpling has become a spirit! It can even run away!"
"I just saw that thing shriveled up into a ball, it's probably not just a rice dumpling."
As soon as the man finished speaking, a large number of slender black monsters poured out of the cave entrance and then scattered along the walls after crawling out of the cave.
Although everyone opened fire immediately, the bullets were not very effective, and the dark figures continued to crawl around at great speed.
"The gun isn't powerful enough, quickly bring me my explosives..."
"Retreat quickly, there are too many of these monsters!"
As a large number of dark figures emerged from the cave entrance, Hei Xiazi and his companions recognized the creature as the ancient python corpse.
Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling drew their swords, ready to face the attack.
At first, these ancient python corpses did not attack the group. Instead, they surrounded them in an orderly fashion and left the hole leading into the wall.
However, when they saw the headless corpse in the corner, their dark faces began to twist with malice.
"Be careful, they seem to be provoked."
