52. Crystal Cave
The sloping soil ridge is light and convex, and there is no grass. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A few sparse trees, standing on the slope, make this ridge finally show a little life.
On one side of the soil ridge, there is a cliff overhanging, and it is close to the river embankment.
On the other hand, it is quite moderate. At this time, the three of them easily stepped up the dirt slope.
Looking back behind them, the mine they had just come out of was hundreds of paces on the side of the slope, and the faint light of the fire in front of the grass hut in the distance was still faintly visible.
The blacksmith went a step further up the steep part of the river, and below he approached a cliff. He turned around and looked at the hazy river and the bright full moon in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "This place is so pure!"
Qin Longxiu also stood next to him and sighed: "It's also very desirable!"
The blacksmith thrust the iron gun into the wall inside, "The scenery is beautiful enough, but with these evils next to you, can you still enjoy it?" When the two of them turned around, they were surprised to see a hole in the messy earthen wall with eaves.
"What's in there, I can't wait!" Qin Longxiu looked at the black hole, which seemed to be so deep that he couldn't see anything at all.
"You wait for me here!" the blacksmith walked straight in.
"I've heard it's spectacular inside, and there's something exciting!"
Qin Longxiu smiled: "Since there is such a thing, it is worth taking a risk." ”
The sound of another stone trembling sounded, and the two of them saw the dark cavern, which slowly became dazzling.
It was certainly not the light from the torches. There seem to be multiple kinds of light inside, including white, green, and even purple light. These lights shone into the cave and illuminated it as day. The blacksmith was now standing in the middle of the hole that was more than two men wide, and he only looked inside and did not move.
The two of them glanced at each other and walked inside.
When the three of them stood in the cave and looked at the scene, two of the three were dumbfounded: this cave was actually a crystal stone cave—this mine several feet high and deep, full of countless large and small, clusters of various colored crystal gems. Purple, yellow, white, red, green, pink, blue, all kinds of colors make this cave dazzling.
Qin Longxiu walked over to a white crystal and picked it up to take a closer look. These diamond-shaped stones, I don't know what light they refract, pierced people's eyes. He put down the white crystal and went to the side to get a few citrines, which radiated a gentle light.
Shade also grabbed a handful of amethysts to the side to look, and his eyes also bloomed with brilliance.
"Wow, so many gems, we're rich!" Qin Longxiu couldn't help but laugh as he watched it.
Shade Sun smiled: "We shouldn't be dreaming, right?"
When they looked at the blacksmith with a smile, they saw that his eyes were looking at a hole on the other side of the mine for a moment.
When the two of them followed his gaze, they were taken aback, and at the same time their hearts tingled: two grimaces dressed in white jumped out of the door of the cave for a moment.
-- Those were two extremely terrifying faces. The skin on his face was yellow and shrunken like tree bark, and the outer layer of skin was tightly wrapped around the bones of the face. The face shrunk so much that even the nose was stretched. And his mouth, the corners of which opened at an eerie angle. And the most terrifying thing is that his eyes are faintly shooting blood-colored light.
"Kill this monster first!" the blacksmith walked over with his wooden gun.
Seeing this, the two dropped the crystal, also grabbed their guns, and followed him closely.
The grimaces glared at the strange eyes, and with their claws outstretched, they pounced on them—their hands with inch-long nails that looked like claws.
All three raised their guns at the same time. Three guns pierced the bodies of the two grimaces at once. The blacksmith's spear stabbed one, and the two of them stabbed one at the same time.
Looking at the two ghosts who fell to the ground and convulsed, Qin Longxiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Although this monster has no mind, I can't imagine that the means are so fierce, if it weren't for our powerful gun, where would ordinary people be their opponents!"
Seeing the blacksmith holding a wooden spear, he said, "Isn't there a magnet in this cave that will attract iron weapons?"
The blacksmith looked at the two stone walls: "There is indeed a strong magnetic force here, it will not only attract steel, but even people will be stimulated, do you feel some discomfort?"
Sun: "No wonder I said I'm a little dizzy!"
The blacksmith looked at the two ghosts underground and said, "These people just entered here, and they were forced by this magnetic force, and they slowly became like this." ”
Qin Longxiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Then we don't want to be like them, don't we have to get out quickly?"
Blacksmith: "There's no hurry to get out at this time, at least we have to bring something back!"
Qin Longxiu smiled: "Of course!"
The three of them were just about to turn around to look at the crystal again, when a gentle voice sounded: "Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to leave like this?"
The three of them turned their heads sharply and saw a young girl in a white dress standing in front of the hole.
The corners of the girl's eyebrows and mouth showed a smile, and she casually tied two ponytails behind her head, which made people feel happy at first sight.
Qin Longxiu glanced at the two of them and smiled unexpectedly: "I didn't expect us to meet such a beautiful girl here!"
The girl smiled playfully, "How did you come here?" and she walked slowly up to them.
Qin Longxiu said: "We came to this mountain to look for treasures, and if we don't want to, we will find this place unconsciously, but if we don't think about it, there is a hole in the world!
The girl said: "I'm lost, I don't know why, I also came here! It's great to see you, can you take me out with you?" Her voice was more beautiful than Huang Ying, and people couldn't help but feel inexplicably happy.
"Okay!" Qin Longxiu looked happy.
"Really, that's wonderful!" the girl looked cheerful, her mouth sweeter than honey, and walked straight towards Qin Longxiu.
The blacksmith looked at Qin Longxiu and just wanted to stop him, but he stopped. He saw that Koto Ryu-su had begun to back away, just as she was about to approach him.
"What's your name, how old are you this year?" asked Qin Longxiu.
"My name is Xiao Feng, the wind of the wind and snow, I am 20 this year, and I have never been married!" Xiao Feng faced him with a smile, girlish feelings, so full of vitality.
Qin Longxiu said, "Where do you live?"
Xiao Feng said: "I live in Chengdong Hexi Street! If you go back, take me with you! Ah, why are you avoiding me!" She also saw him retreating. With every step she took, he took a step back.
Qin Longxiu smiled bitterly: "You are such a hot girl, I'm a little afraid!"
Xiaofeng said: "Girls take the initiative, are you afraid?"
Qin Longxiu said: "The active girl, of course, is likable, but we are not familiar with it yet......"
Xiao Feng said: "Then you come over a little, once you are born, you will be ripe in two times!" She slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to pull him.
Qin Longxiu stepped back and said, "This is not a place to stay for a long time, let's talk slowly after we go out, okay?"
Xiaofeng stretched out her hand in front of him: "It's not good, I'm going to ...... it now" Her hand was revealed from her sleeve, and when Qin Longxiu saw it, she only felt a chill on her back and a tight scalp, and she couldn't help but scream: what she saw was a hairy hand, and the nails on the fingers were the same as the grimaces over there, an inch long.
As she screamed, she jumped out of the way at the same time - her hand grabbed him so hard that she grabbed a large piece of cloth from his shoulder.
"Don't you run!" Xiaofeng giggled and chased after him where he retreated. Jean Ryu-su no longer dodges, because the blacksmith and the sun-covering spear are in front of him. One of them fired a shot and stabbed her back.
She volleyed back into the air, and her posture was so light that the three of them couldn't believe it.
The sun looked at her and frowned, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Xiao Feng instantly turned back to them with an incredible movement, and faced them with a smile on his face: "Do you think I'm pretty?" she slowly walked towards the sun.
What is the difference between her youthful and beautiful appearance and the lively girls outside? Even when she looked at her, she was stunned. The breeze was approaching him.
Suncover couldn't help but raise the gun in front of her, and just as she wanted to speak, she had already grabbed his gun, and Suncover felt a huge force almost drag him over. But at the same time he raised his foot and swept forward, and the gun was again in his hand.
The little wind leaped backwards, dodging a shot he and the blacksmith had stabbed at her.
"She's enchanted! she's become a monster!" whispered the blacksmith.
Qin Longxiu said in disbelief: "Is there such a beautiful monster?
The sun also looked at the girl, and there was endless regret in her eyes: "We have to catch her, I also want to see her pulse, this mutated disease is the first time I have seen it, and I don't know what caused it!"
Qin Longxiu said: "Then let's hurry up and save her!"
The three of them saw her standing there, and immediately fanned around her. He looked at her and said, "Xiaofeng, you are sick, I am a doctor, you come and let me help you, we can give you some help!"
Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Can you really help me?"
Qin Longxiu said: "He is a miracle doctor, he may be able to cure your illness, come here quickly, let him check your pulse!"
Xiaofeng stared blankly at the sun, "Can you cure my illness?" she walked over.
Suncover held out her hand in a gesture of greeting, and she walked straight up to him. The blacksmith and Jean Ryong-so looked at her carefully, but at the same time they were very cautious and wary.
He didn't dare to be careless at all, he kept staring at her eyes, and he saw that her eyes revealed a kind of black and white clarity.
She stood quietly in front of him, and slowly stretched out her hand as well. Covering the sun looked at her face carefully, there was no problem on her face, and it was no different from an ordinary girl. He just wanted to look at her hand again, the hand she wanted to reach, but when he just turned his eye, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He looked up into her eyes again, and when he did, he couldn't help but scream in horror, and his body jumped back sharply - the little wind was already striking at him in an instant.
The sun rolled to the ground, and the breeze rushed past the spear that the blacksmith and Qin Longxiu reached out to block at the same time, and stretched out its sharp claws to hook straight at him.
Seeing her fluttering movements, she was so fast and fast that she almost followed her like a shadow, and she was shocked when she hurriedly dodged. He lay down on the ground, looked up and saw that her hands were in front of him, and he hurriedly raised the wooden spear with both hands and lay it in front of her.
With a "click", the wrist-thick wooden spear broke at once. The oppressive power of her hands made it too late for the sun to be surprised, and she swept her away with her feet, and finally got out.
The breeze rolled to the side, and she gently pushed her foot to the ground, and the body stood up in an unbelievable way. The two blacksmiths stood in front of her, two wooden spears lying across them.
"What happened just now?" Qin Longxiu asked, only glaring vigilantly at the little wind in front of him, but not looking back at the shadow behind him.
He stood up again, walked over to the two of them, and still stared at Xiao Feng: "There is something wrong with her eyes!" he tried to be as tactful as he could be of the horrific scene he had just seen.
In fact, the reason why he was frightened was that what he saw was that her originally clear eyes suddenly became cloudy. Her eyes were so cloudy that there were no pupils and iris, and only that whiteness remained.
What would your reaction be if you suddenly saw that a person's eyes were just two white balls? The look on Sun's face barely recovered, but now he saw that her eyes had changed back to their original shape.
"Is there something wrong with her eyes?" Qin Longxiu was also busy looking over, but where could he still see the abnormality?
The blacksmith then spoke: "Her mind is confused, her body has mutated, and she has become extremely powerful, let's not be paralyzed by her appearance!"
"Look at her belly!" Qin Longxiu suddenly cried. In fact, needless to say, both the sun and the blacksmith saw that outside her white dress, a piece of blood oozed out.
Was she hurt? That's the reaction of each of them, but they didn't stab her at all. Before they could figure out what was going on, the sun shouted, "Be careful!" The white figure, with its hands outstretched, stretched out its claws, and flew towards the blacksmith.
The blacksmith did not move, but raised his gun and met him.
Seeing this, Qin Longxiu hurriedly shouted, "Spare her life!" He stabbed the barrel of the gun to try to get her away, but she dodged the blacksmith's gun and held him with her backhand. Qin Longxiu only felt that as soon as his hand was loosened, the gun was taken off. In his frustration, he saw the tip of the gun stab back.
Jean Ryu-su dodges. He moved his body three times in an instant, and took three steps back, but the tip of the spear stabbed him in the chest accurately. If it hadn't been for the fact that he had held the gun she had stabbed out with his hand, he would have been pierced in the chest.
Jean Ryu-su falls. Xiao Feng turned his face and glared at the sun, let go of the gun, and the sharp claws hooked directly at him again.
Sunshade stepped back, reaching for her wrist at the same time. But the strength of those hands was so great that she twisted her wrist and grabbed his hand in turn.
Her movements were so fast that the sun couldn't even imagine it. He was feeling bad and tried to get out, but her other hand grabbed him directly into the chest.
Shocked, he saw the right hand, with thick black fingers, black skin wrapped around phalanges, and sharp nails. The hand was like five daggers, straight into his chest and abdomen.
If he had been stabbed by her hand, he would have cracked his belly open, and before he could catch her hand, he had kicked her several times and shook her arm several times. If you were an ordinary person, this counterattack, the other party might have already fallen down and couldn't move. But she was as painless as a punching bag, unmoved, and her hand grasped him like a steel tong.
With the last of his strength, Suncover gripped her claws. The little wind glared at him, a strange smile on his lips. She opened her mouth, and the smell was so stinking that he just wanted to hold his breath. And at this moment, he also saw an even more terrifying scene: she stretched out her blood-red tongue, and she didn't know what was born next to the tongue, her mouth was full of pus and blood black spots, and there seemed to be something wriggling there, one by one.
When he saw it, he only turned his eyes to her hand. At times like these, there is nothing more important than the hands that are about to kill themselves. He used all his strength, tightly trying to break her hand, even if he couldn't, he tried not to let her stab him in the vital point.
He put all his strength into his hands. But it didn't work, the hands were like an iron drill, and they grabbed straight at him. Even he didn't expect that such a weak girl would have such terrifying strength.
Xiao Feng stabbed his hand into his chest and abdomen, which was already in the blink of an eye. But at this moment, the sun had almost exhausted all his means, and he still didn't have the strength to resist her in the end. Since you can't resist, you can only hide desperately. He moved his body to the side, but couldn't dodge. As soon as he fell backwards, he felt a heart-piercing pain spread throughout his body. The sharp claw grabbed his right armpit, and the claw even grabbed the flesh and blood of his clothes.
Shade endured the pain, not daring to let up the slightest bit, and saw her stab her claws at him with even more ferocious force.
If it weren't for the two of them, he knew he would have lost any chance now. The opportunity is still grasped by people, as long as he resists the fatal blow, even if there is a more powerful killing in the future, he also knows that he still has a lot of leeway.
Looking at the girl in front of him, he didn't know why, but suddenly he felt a feeling of regret and even heartache. He saw that blood suddenly gushed out of her mouth, and her hand froze there. Because the blacksmith's gun had pierced her chest, and Qin Longxiu's gun had pierced her side. She fell to the ground with a thud and couldn't move.
"Selling medicine, are you okay?" asked Qin Longxiu, standing in front of him.
Shade got up from the ground: "I'm fine, just a little skin injury." What about you?
Qin Longxiu smiled bitterly: "It's just a little skin trauma! If you hadn't separated from that, that shot might have killed me!"
The blacksmith had drawn his gun from the maiden, and the two went up to see her. The girl's posture lay there on her back, and she could not see anything different about her.
"This is the woman who attacked us before!" the blacksmith stood there and looked at her coldly.
Shade looked at her abdomen and said, "She was injured by your men before, and now she has changed her clothes and come out, but the old wounds have obviously been treated!"
Qin Longxiu: "In this kind of place, she can still do such a knowing act, can an ordinary youkai do it?"
The sun looked at her and pondered, "Is it true that she has just lost her nature for a while and still has the original memory?"
The blacksmith said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that these ghosts were forced to be locked up here, and they all became this kind of monster in the end. ”
"By the way, who built this underground palace?" Qin Longxiu thought for a moment and asked the blacksmith, "And this ghost place, why did the living become like that? Who is so insidious and vicious? What is his motive?"
The blacksmith said: "This is a bit long, my head feels more and more painful, if we don't want to be like them, we better go outside first!"
Qin Longxiu looked around and said, "Don't say it, my head seems to hurt." If there is another witch like this, we can't afford it!" he looked at the crystals all over the ground, and his eyes lit up again, "but we can't go back empty-handed!"
