Chapter 176: The Tunnel to the Underground

The layout of this village is extremely strange, and if I hadn't seen the layout of the houses and the curling smoke from a distance down the hill, I would have thought that this place would be completely deserted.

A group of five of us shuttled through the weeds more than a person tall, but all we could hear was the occasional intermittent faint bark from the dog named Mimi in front of us. But a few people didn't talk, just groped lightly, for fear of being discovered by the children in front of them.

I'm actually a little panicked, this is a village where scorpion spirits live in groups, and the demon hunter trespasses like this, not just to chat with them.

At this time, the voice in front of me suddenly got closer, and the child's voice poured into my ears very clearly, "Mimi, I told you not to run around." Let's go next time!"

It was a rather immature voice, milky, and it was impossible to tell if it was a boy or a girl.

Hongguan raised the peachwood sword in his hand and greeted Tingzhu and Tingshui behind him with gestures. The two of them pulled out a black rope from their wrists, tied a knot in their hands, and then the three of them touched it in a semi-encircled position.

"What are they going to do, do they want to catch that kid?" I said softly, a little anxiously. Bitter but rarely indifferent, he just patted me on the shoulder, and then leaned in behind them. For a moment, I didn't know what to do. I saw that the long weeds were removed, revealing a little boy in a blue cloth shirt who was hidden behind him, squatting on the ground. At the moment, he was petting the little yellow dog on the ground. There is no preparedness for these potential dangers.

A kind of love for children and the remnants of humanity suddenly came to the top of my head, I don't know if it's because I subconsciously felt that we demons were a family after I became a demon, so I had this feeling of being together, but at the moment I just wanted to help him escape.

So I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye out of the corner of my eye that there was a small puddle at my feet, which had been frozen by ice and snow, but there were still ice crystals at the bottom of the pit. So when I saw that they were already in an attacking stance, I stepped into the pit and screamed.

The child raised his head suddenly, and although the three of them reacted very quickly and shrank back into the weeds, the child still picked up the puppy vigilantly and ran away.

Although that Hongguan gave Tingzhu a look, Tingzhu also rushed out in a very short reaction time, but the child had already disappeared without a trace at this time.

Sheng Ku helped me up, but his expression was very strange, as if he was holding back a smile, but he seemed to be a little disappointed. But in front of Hongguan, I still have to pretend to rub my calves affectionately. "It's all my fault for not taking good care of you just now. ”

I shook my head apologetically, "It's all my fault, I'm nervous, so I didn't pay attention to my step." After speaking, he looked at Hongguan's face pitifully.

The rainbow face was not good-looking just now, gloomy, but since seeing my expression, it also forced out a smile, and twisted the long beard with the old fingers. "It's okay, it's okay. ”

It wasn't until Tingzhu ran back panting, and then shook his head at Hongguan with a disappointed face, that he really sighed.

"Originally, I wanted to ask where the kid could spend the night, you see, the terrain here is so strange, it looks like we're going to spend another night in the wilderness tonight!"

I knew in my heart that he was talking nonsense, but I couldn't expose it, so I pretended to be sorry and said, "Today is the little girl's accident and something bad." ”

Sheng Ku hurriedly patted me on the shoulder, "I don't blame you, you are pampered, and you are not used to such a place." ”

Seeing us like this, Hongguan could only laugh to relieve the awkward atmosphere, but what was in the air might not be just embarrassing.

The night here seems to come earlier than anywhere else, and we have just set up a sleeping place in the weeds, and the thick night that cannot be melted has come on our feet. Sheng Ku handed me the food, but I shook my head. It's not that we can't eat because we're tired, but we feel a little uneasy for the residents of this village because we are still in the realm of Shaozhen Village.

Later, amid the snoring of everyone, I gradually closed my eyes. It's just that tonight's life is a little strange, and he doesn't seem to have gone to bed so early before. I looked at his face, and suddenly a strange feeling hit me, so I quickly pretended to be soft and closed my eyes.

That is, ten minutes later, the first sound of rustling came in my ears, which came from the direction of Hongguan real master and apprentice. They first walked up to the two of us, and then they smiled and said, "This flower drunk is really a good thing, just a little bit on their food, and the two of them sleep so deeply." ”

Tingzhu seemed to pat him on the head, so Tingshui sighed softly. "Needless to say, you don't know how much this flower drunk is worth. ”

Then came Hongguan's voice, and he said in a low voice, "The apprentices don't have to talk much, and the teacher has already seen that this is a scorpion village during the day." You two will go with me to eradicate demons and demons, and you can bring enough magic weapons?"

Listening to the water, he patted the old package on his body, "Master, don't worry, it's not the first time we've done something like this." The apprentices know it. ”

"Master, what about these two people?" Suddenly, the sound of bamboo's footsteps approached, and it seemed to come to our side. "I just think the two of them are weird, but they don't have a demonic spirit. ”

Hongguan also snorted, "Yes, you can see this now." The two of them are indeed a little abnormal, but they have already eaten this flower drunk, there is no antidote, even if they are possessed by King Kong, they will not wake up!

Listening to the water and listening to the bamboo both answered yes, and then the footsteps of the three of them gradually disappeared. I was afraid that they would go and return, so I lay down for a while until there was no sound but the wind around me, and then I sat up carefully.

It was pitch black, and although there was still a big moon overhead, it seemed that this was a place where the moonlight could not reach. But I didn't dare to make any light, and I couldn't release my spiritual power to observe this place through the starry pupils of the Babel Tree. Therefore, it was only after the eyes adapted to the darkness for a long time that they could vaguely distinguish the surrounding scenery.

Suddenly, I saw a small figure standing clearly behind the tall weeds, his eyes glowing slightly indigo, but not bright. I was startled, even though I was a demon and shouldn't be so timid, this sudden figure still gave me goosebumps in an instant. The life and suffering around him moved slightly, but he didn't wake up.

When the boy saw that I was awake, he took two steps back, still staring at me blankly. I froze for a moment, but it became clear in an instant that he probably wanted me to follow him. Stand up lightly, for fear of stepping on the raw pain that is still asleep. Later, I suddenly remembered that this life should have been drunk by the flowers of the rainbow real person, so it shouldn't wake up at this time.

I don't know why, since I entered this village, I only felt that the same danger of suffering as Hongguan's master and apprentice, as if it would bring some unspeakable disasters to this village. So this time, I decided to take matters into my own hands. As for the bitterness, I don't believe that his poisonous physique will be defeated by this ** flower drunk. So, I stood up and followed the kid.

The kid and I had agreed on it, and we didn't talk along the way. Only occasionally, he would stop and look back to see if I was following up.

After walking for about half an hour, the child suddenly looked back at me, his features were very blurry in the night, but I could vaguely feel that he was laughing. Then, with his half-bent legs, he made a jumping pose. Then the whole person suddenly disappeared from my eyes!

I was a little surprised, and walked a few steps, only to realize that the place where the child had disappeared was a small dirt pit. Then the faint light looked down, and it was pitch black. It seems to be bottomless. I hesitated to follow him.

Then a small hand came up from under the pit and shook it at me, as if to tell me that it was not deep. I took a deep breath and stepped down with one foot when the little hand disappeared into the dirt pit again.

I thought the hole was narrow, but I didn't expect it to have magical powers, and it could change the size of the hole according to the size of the person. As soon as my foot went down, suddenly there was a cold touch at my ankle, as if the child's hand was grabbing me there, pulling me downward. At this moment, I suddenly regretted it. I just feel like I'm being dragged to hell by a demon. Although I have already seen evil spirits, although I have also been to Yellow Springs.

In my panic, I glanced down, but this glance began to make me regret it again, because I was now only a leg away from the child. Even though we were all in the dirt tunnels now, the child's eyes were still starting to glow strangely. Actually, I also know that it was just a pair of scorpion eyes.

At this moment, he was crawling backwards into the deeper part of the pit in a strange position, one hand still holding my ankle, while I, sitting in the pit, let such a little child pull and pull without any resistance.

I was amazed at how much I could cooperate with a child, even though it wasn't an ordinary child. But the woman's sixth sense is telling herself that this child doesn't seem to have the slightest malice towards me, so I'm so calm!

The tunnel seemed to be very long, and the boy began to run out of breath as he dragged me along for a while. I struggled slightly, and he looked at me.

"Just lead the way. I whispered as softly as I could, lest I suddenly startle him. He froze, but finally let go of the hand that was gripping my ankle.
