"Brother... ”

"Brother. Wake up, wake up... ”

I don't know how long I've passed out, but vaguely, Qingyu only listened to Kiki's crying voice and kept shouting in her ear, and her arms were constantly pushed.

Qingyu struggled to open his eyes, but found that it was dark in front of him, and it took him a lot of strength to turn his neck to the other side, and he could vaguely see Kiki's small body leaning against his side.

"Where is this? ”

Licking his chapped lips, he found that his voice was hoarse, like a traveler in the desert who had not drunk water for a long time. As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that he was still under the threat of three monsters a moment ago, and quickly sat up stiffly.

"Brother, you're awake!"

Hearing Qingyu speak, Qiqi happily hurriedly helped him sit up, the little girl chattered about how scared she was since he fell unconscious, but she barabala for a long time, Qingyu didn't understand what's going on, he rubbed Qiqi's head, and touched the wall behind him, and couldn't help but wonder

"Where are we?"

"It's... This is.. ”

Kiki scratched her head with her little hand and thought about it carefully, before she organized the language clearly, and Qingyu understood what had just happened.

After tripping over that section of the root, the herring rushed forward with some force, and he flew forward two or three meters and directly knocked down a huge dead tree root and fainted. I never thought that this more than two meters high, about five or six people surrounded the thick roots of the tree with only a layer of skin, and the herring fish knocked this layer of bark away with one head.

Beneath the bark of the tree, there was a cave that did not know where it led, and Kiki kept clinging to the herring fish's neck and followed him all the way through the hollow, and finally rolled here. The little girl's body is small, and it is tightly attached to the back of the herring, and most of the damage is borne by the herring's head and shoulders when it hits back and forth, otherwise it may not be as early as the herring wakes up if it rolls into such a deep pit.

Hearing this, Qingyu rubbed his brows, and then he felt extremely swelling pain all over his body, especially his forehead and two shoulders, as if he had been knocked with a hammer, and touched the soil under his feet, Qingyu hesitated

"Me, how long have I been unconscious?"

"I don't know. ”

Kiki shook her head, her little head pressed tightly against herring's chest.

"What about the monsters?"

This time, Kiki didn't speak, but her head twisted from side to side on herring's chest, as if she was stunned and suddenly relieved, and her nose twitched and she began to cry. The herring pat the little girl's head helplessly and looked up.

I don't know how deep the two of them fell, and the upward passage distorted the sky overhead, and only the pitch-black dirt and some fine roots that grew through the dirt could be seen.

He was a little puzzled where those monsters went, it stands to reason that this hole is enough for the three of them to come in side by side, but he has fallen for so long and is still intact, listening carefully for a long time, there are no monsters on his head, and the herring fish secretly wonders if they haven't found this hole?

Or is it entangled in something else? Or is there something in this hole that makes them feel terrified? Thinking of this, the herring couldn't help but shudder.

The two of them happened to be on a gentle slope in the cave, and they didn't know where to go under their feet, and after the herring fish calmed Kiki, he struggled to get up and looked around in the dark, and only when he touched the handle of the knife did he put his mind at ease. He grabbed one side of the wall and tried to climb up, but the soil in the hole was extremely soft, and as soon as the herring fish's hand grabbed it, the dirt fell to the ground like loose sand, and after a while, the two of them were disgraced.

"Brother, what are you doing? ”

Kiki squinted at the sand that was accidentally picked up by the herring, rubbed it uncomfortably, and asked aggrievedly while pouting

"The sand is in my eyes, it hurts. ”

Qingyu had to give up the idea of climbing up, and squatted down to appease this little burden. He had seen it just now, and the diameter of the cave wall was wider than his outstretched hands, and he couldn't hold it up.

The two of them leaned together quietly, and there was silence in the entrance of the cave, so quiet that you could hear the hungry stomach of the herring fish for a long time, and a series of cooing sounds.

The little girl who was lying on the belly of the herring suddenly raised her head to look at the herring, her beautiful eyes narrowed into a slit, and she giggled.

"Uh... ”

Qingyu scratched his head in embarrassment, pinched Qiqi's fleshy face, and said fiercely

"Don't laugh. ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he himself laughed out loud first, in the memory of the herring, there are only a handful of times when he grew so big and starved himself, the last time he was hungry was when he was nine years old, the master and the senior brother forgot to keep food for themselves when they went down the mountain, the herring didn't know how to cook at that time, and after being hungry for three days, he looked at the chickens raised outside the gym and wanted to grab them in his hands and swallow them raw. Later, Mingyue, who had been squatting in the hall for three days, brought a pack of cooked ham from nowhere in her mouth, and saved her life.

Smash it, smash it, and the herring fish only felt that the experience of gobbling up in his childhood was the rarest delicacy in the world. But thinking of Mingyue and them, Qingyu stood up involuntarily, Qiqi, who was originally leaning on his arms, almost didn't fall to the ground, she grabbed Qingyu's pants and stood up, looking up a little puzzled why Qingyu stood up suddenly.

"Let's go, we can't stay here. ”

The herring fish rubbed Kiki's head and squatted on the ground. Kiki obediently climbed onto the back of the herring fish, put her arms around his neck and asked

"Brother, what are we going to do?"

Stretching out his hand to straighten the child, Qingyu stood up, stretched out his knife and probed the way in front of his feet, and replied casually

"Stay alive and get out. ”

The place where the two of them stayed was almost to the end, there was a gentle slope ahead, the herring fish used the handle of the knife as a crutch and carefully tested in front, the two of them walked slowly down in the dark cave for more than ten minutes, the road ahead was much smoother, and when they bypassed the twists and turns of the hole, the cool breeze in front of them came to their faces, and the front suddenly opened up.

The two Qingyu were blown by this cool breeze, and they only felt a shock to their spirits, but then they looked at everything in the underground space and were suddenly stunned.

There are strange rocks on the top of the cave five or six meters high, and in the huge space in the middle, all kinds of strange-shaped stones are naturally piled up, enclosing a few zigzag paths, which looks a little eerie and terrifying.

I don't know what is shining in this underground space, and there is a faint red light scattered in the deepest part of the stone, and the various strange stones in the illuminated cave are even more terrifying.

Kiki hugged her tightly in fear, hiding behind the herring and not daring to speak. Gently patting her little hand to soothe it, Qingyu looked at the path in front of her and couldn't help but swallow.

He lifted his foot and lightly stepped on the ground in front of him, but suddenly he stepped on something.

Like crushing a rotten bone, the sound was heard clearly in the silence of the subterranean space.
