At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the scimitar is like the moon, hanging high in the air, laying a layer of light veil for the quiet and deep primeval forest of the Great Khing'an Mountains, revealing a hazy sense of mystery.

And in the depths of the Great Khing'an Mountains, a steep mountain peak facing east and slightly sloping is like a peerless sword stuck in the mountain range, blocking the east-west direction.

In front of the "Sword Mountain" is surrounded by a large group of wild wolves.

They sat or lay or howled, but their eyes were fixed on the cave in front of the mountain, but none of them rushed forward.

In the hole.

Everyone found a random place to sit down and endured the long night.

After a day's trek, everyone was attacked by wild wolves again, and they were exhausted after running all night.

After a while, one by one gradually fell asleep.

At this time, no one noticed that the vine seemed to be squirming slightly.

Zheng Jie squatted on a rock, his head resting on his arms, and his eyes closed to breathe.

I don't know how long later, he seemed to have come to a gray world, and a little girl about six or seven years old appeared in front of him, jumping and playing with the ball, and the sound of cheerful and pleasant laughter filled the whole space.

Xiaotong?

How did you end up here?

Zheng Jie stretched out his right hand and wanted to gently stroke her little head.

Slowly, slowly.

Suddenly, she turned her head suddenly.

The whole face was actually white and picturesque, without a trace of blood.

There is no sunny smile, no smart and mischievous little eyes, replaced by scarlet black and white eyes that seem to drip blood.

It just stares at you in a daze, with no emotion, only emptiness, as if staring at something that is dead.

Abrupt, unnatural, thrilling, and so on.

Zheng Jie's hands always maintained a forward posture, but he couldn't move a bit.

A chill couldn't stop rising from the dantian, and Zheng Jie fell into an ice cellar.

I don't know how long it took, but the expressionless face of the girl in front of me who looked like Xiaotong finally changed slightly.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and Sen Leng's eyes fluctuated a little, like two abysses, trying to suck in everything he witnessed.

"Accompany, me, play. The little girl's piercing and cold laughter echoed in her ears for a long time.

In this situation, Zheng Jie seems to be in a horror movie, and he can't extricate himself.

Looking back, it's just a gray world!

Jingle bells, jingle bells.

Whose phone rang.

Zheng Jie struggled to move his eyes, dazed.

Oh, it was just a dream!

Jingle bells!

Who? I don't turn off my phone at night, and I don't answer phone calls.

Zheng Jie has not fully woken up yet, between dream and reality.

The intermittent ringtone came into Zheng Jie's ears again,

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.

There is no signal in the primeval forest, and who will call in!

It's scary to think about!

So where does this bell come from?

He looked up, got up suddenly, and found that everyone was still asleep.

Jingle bells, jingle bells.

He carefully discerned the direction from which the bell was ringing.

Finally, he fixed his eyes on the purple vines in the corner.

This is a very ordinary vine, with well-developed roots, and it looks thick and powerful, and it is dark purple.

By the light of the trembling flames,

He noticed that the prismatic leaves seemed to have an unusually bright red color of blood.

He always felt that he had seen this plant somewhere, déjà vu, but he couldn't remember it.

"What did you find?" Professor Chen interjected abruptly.

Zheng Jie didn't seem to hear it, but after a while, he didn't answer and asked, "Did you hear any sound?"

Hey!

He calmed down, listened attentively, and finally shook his head, "No." ”

"Teacher Chen, do you know what kind of plant this is?"

"I don't know?"

"Oh. Zheng Jie thought thoughtfully and tried to recall.

"Xiao Zheng, were you looking for something just now?"

"That's it. ”

"What's so strange about plants?"

"I'm curious about the underneath it. ”

Below?

Soon, after everyone broke the vine, they found that there was a neat small hole here, and this hole seemed to cut diagonally into the mountain, tilting down, and penetrating through it.

It's a thief hole!

The ninth master squatted at the entrance of the cave, carefully observing the mud and knife work of the thief cave.

The openings are neat, sturdy, and have a regular surface.

I really didn't expect that in such a broken cave, there would be a thief cave hidden.

Say it, and who will believe.

"Since there is a robbery cave here, does that mean that there is also a tomb down here?" Qi Ge asked excitedly.

"There is a good chance that

Moreover, the incision of this thief hole is neat and neat, which shows the strength of the cave opener, and he is an expert. ”

The Ninth Master looked at the bottomless cave, and continued,

"There are two paths in front of us now.

One, continue to wait, wait until dawn, wait for the wolves to retreat, and we continue on our way;

Second, the lower cave, this thief cave is likely to lead to other exits. ”

Everyone was silent, as if they were all thinking about it.

The fat man moved to Zheng Jie's side and whispered, "Boss, what's the matter?"

"Go down the hole. ”

said that there were two choices, but look at Lei Jun's pale face and depressed expression, who still wants to go outside and face the pursuit of that group of monsters, but instead go into the hole, maybe there is a glimmer of life.

"Have you figured it all out?

However, let me say more, the rations we brought were enough for ten days and half a month. But after being attacked by wolves, most of them have been lost, and now, we can barely provide for three days. The Ninth Master took a puff of dry tobacco and announced a bad news.

"Three days?! Just kidding, how is this enough. Liu Tao put on his glasses and said in a panic.

He had originally proposed to stay in the cave and wait, after all, no one knew where the sudden opening of the cave would lead. If you hit a dead end, or if it's a labyrinth underground,

That's not even ten deaths.

But there were only three days of rations left, which shattered his illusions, and he lost the confidence to continue waiting. Maybe he wasn't eaten by the wolf, but he starved to death first.

The Ninth Master shifted his gaze to Professor Chen, as if asking for his opinion.

The professor frowned, thought for a while, and affirmed, "Go down to the cave." ”

"Okay, then we'll ......"

Before the ninth master could finish speaking, Brother Qi suddenly interjected: "Wait"

"Xiao Qi, what's the matter?"

"Ninth Master, since you said that there are only three days left for the rations, why don't you let us see what else there is. Shouldn't it be evenly distributed before entering the hole to avoid unnecessary trouble? Brother Qi smiled and said in a flat tone, as if he was telling an ordinary thing.

Hearing this, distrust gradually spread in everyone's hearts.

"Yes, he doesn't have the final say on how much food he has, who knows if he hides it or not. ”

"Isn't it his responsibility to find himself in this situation now? We didn't know how dangerous this trip to the cemetery was. ”

"The Forbidden Land. How much has this old boy buried us, does he really think we are fools?"

A pair of eyes were full of suspicion, pain, and regret.

Sure enough, people, it's easy to say that the wind and water are smooth, but once there are unforeseen circumstances, infighting will begin.

And clearly stirring up everyone's unstable emotions, what does this Qi Ge want to do.

The Ninth Master narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't believe me?"

It seems that Brother Qi said, but in fact, he glanced at the audience.

"Okay, since things have come to this point, Ninth Master, you can follow their wishes, and you will divide what you deserve. In this way, no matter if you want to wait or go down the hole, no one can complain about anyone. Professor Chen coughed, as if to avoid infighting, and suggested.

But for the first time, a trace of surprise flashed on the face of the Ninth Master Gujing Wubo, but it was fleeting.

"Give them food. The Ninth Master commanded sonorously.

Zheng Jie is like an honest audience, quietly watching the performance of everyone on stage.

suddenly

Jingle bells, jingle bells.

In the depths of the thief cave, there was another ringing of mobile phones!
