The luster emitted by the spirit gathering lamp covered an area larger and larger, and after a while, Qin Hai and the others were all enveloped in it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the glow, everyone could still smell the aroma of the fruit.

The flower snake finally closed its eyes unconsciously, as if it had been guided by some kind of guidance, and its mouth was full of words, like a string of incantations. As the string of incantations came out, the light condensed, converging at one point, and it actually opened a hole in the ground not far away!

With the appearance of this hole, the light disappeared completely.

A few people ran to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, only to feel that the cave was very small and pitch black, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

"Only two people can go in. The flower snake suddenly said a word, and then, like a nightmare man suddenly woke up, he suddenly came back to his senses. When she saw that everyone was looking at her, she asked curiously, "What's the matter, why are you all looking at me?"

It was as if she hadn't experienced anything that had just happened.

"Don't talk much, Ran Xue, you go into the cave with me, and the others are guarding the entrance of the cave. After Qin Hai made such an arrangement, he took the lead in preparing to enter the cave.

Brushing aside the layer of rattan covered at the entrance, Qin Hai was in front and Ran Xue was behind, and the two of them went into the cave together.

The cave was just big enough for them to crawl in freely, as if it was tailor-made for the two of them. If Qin Hai or Ran Xue's body was a little bigger, the two of them would probably not have a chance to enter this cave.

The walls of the cave are very smooth, and there are no potholes that a normal cave should have, as if it has been forcibly squeezed out by some kind of tube.

After crawling for about four or five hundred meters, a faint light gradually flickered in the darkness in front of him, like flying fireflies, but Qin Hai knew very well that it couldn't be fireflies, not to mention that it was not the season when fireflies were active, and even if it was, it was impossible for them to live in such a deep cave.

After crawling forward for dozens of meters, those faint bits of light began to flourish, and the size of the cave began to increase, and later, it was directly able to accommodate Qin Hai and Ran Xue standing upright side by side!

This is not the most magical place, what is even more amazing is that there is a cave in front of them, and a huge space is like a paradise, appearing in front of the two of them out of thin air.

In the open space in the center of the space, a large tree with lush branches and leaves stood alone, and the star-like points of light were like swarms of fireflies, lingering in the roots, trunks, and treetops, like glowing clouds.

"It's so bright here!" Ran Xue took the lead in running towards the big tree in the center of the space, stretching out her fingers into the air, and those points of light crowded down on her fingers, and then stopped on them.

"It's so beautiful," she couldn't help but exclaim.

The firefly-like points of light seemed to be able to understand her praise, constantly rushing to all parts of her body, and then stopped on them, refusing to leave.

Qin Hai was also stunned by the scene that appeared in front of him, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there would be such a strange space underground.

"Qin Hai, come here, these points of light that I don't know what they are seem to be able to bring strength to people, I just touched them for a while, and I felt full of power. Ran Xue urged Qin Hai.

When there was no one else, Ran Xue always liked to call Qin Hai by his first name.

"Can it bring strength to people?" Qin Haiwan'er, "This is strange, then I really have to feel it." ”

With that, he walked towards Ran Xue.

"That's right, if you have more contact with them, you might be able to break through your cultivation soon!" Ran Xue said excitedly. As she said this, her voice trembled slightly, perhaps because of excitement.

Although Qin Hai noticed this, he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, no matter who suddenly found himself in such a magical environment, his feelings would fluctuate uncontrollably.

It's just that he had just approached Ran Xue, and before he had time to learn her previous movements, he stretched out his finger into the air, and Ran Xue's pale and somewhat terrifying face startled him!

"What's wrong with you?!" He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Ran Xue's shoulder, and was just about to shake it twice, when he felt Ran Xue's body trembling rapidly, the arc was very small, and it was difficult to distinguish it if it was only visual.

"I... I'm fine... I feel that my current self is full of strength..."Ran Xue's voice was still full of excitement, but her face was even paler, and her voice trembled even more.

"No, what's wrong!" Although Qin Hai was difficult to figure out the situation for a while, he was sure that the current Ran Xue's physical condition was definitely not as she said!

In addition, there were already spots of light that had begun to rest on his skin, and at that moment, he clearly felt as if an unrealistic pleasure was hitting his brain nucleus, forcing a kind of false information full of power to be implanted in his perception!

He didn't know why he was able to distinguish the falsity of this information, in short, he decisively shook off the spots of light that rested on his skin, and then stretched out his hands, clasped them on Ran Xue's shoulders, and forcibly dragged her in the direction away from the tree.

Sure enough, Ran Xue, who was dragged by Qin Hai, was like a puppet, obviously wanting to resist, but she couldn't raise the slightest strength to resist.

As the two of them gradually widened the distance between them and the big tree, the points of light that were parked on Ran Xue's body began to gradually dissipate, and then reunited towards the lonely tree.

After the last point of light on Ran Xue's body also left her, she finally collapsed to the ground as if she had fallen apart.

Fortunately, Qin Hai always paid attention to her situation, and hugged her body at the moment before she was about to fall to the ground, so that she didn't really fall to the ground.

"I... What's wrong with me?" she asked weakly while lying in Qin Hai's arms, half-squinting.

"It's okay, it's just that my physical strength is a little overdrawn, and it should be fine after a while. Qin Hai replied with concern.

"I... I want to sleep... Sleep..."After Ran Xue said this sentence intermittently, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Hai sighed, put her in the corner, and put her in the most comfortable sitting position before standing up, looking at the big tree that was still covered with spots of light all over his body.

This tree is by no means simple!

Based on what happened to Ran Xue before, Qin Hai did not approach the tree directly, but first circled around it, carefully searching for possible clues around the big tree. However, to his disappointment, there was nothing to attract attention except for the tree's bare roots, which were not strong enough and the skin looked too smooth.

He wanted to give up his plan to get closer to the big tree, after all, the changes that appeared on Ran Xue before were too weird and terrifying, and it was safer for him to go further to contact this strange big tree after she woke up and someone took care of her. But the moment he turned around, his gaze was attracted by a clear pattern on the root of the tree, and he could no longer take his eyes off it.

Is that...

He held his breath and walked uncontrollably towards the pattern at the root of the tree.

That's obviously... It's the skin of a snake. Evenly arranged in circles of alternating gold and silver rings, the number of rings is their age. This is obviously the skin color of the gold and silver snake that Qin Hai knows!

How so...

How can there be a pattern on the root of the tree that is exactly the same as that on the gold and silver snake?

At this moment, Qin Hai didn't want to wait any longer, he wanted to figure out the guess in his heart as soon as possible. He stubbornly drove away the points of light that wanted to move closer to him, and approached the bare roots.

Stopping, he was already standing in front of the pattern on the root of the tree, and he only had to stretch out his toes slightly to touch the pattern on the root.

Once a person has a strong desire, he will selectively ignore many other possibilities that exist at the same time, just like Qin Hai now, he only wants to figure out the speculation in his heart, and completely ignores the hidden dangers that coexist with his thoughts.

He lifted his toes, slowly approached the pattern on the root of the tree, and tapped lightly on it, and then, a cold chill from head to toe, made him unable to move for a long time.

That soft touch! It is clear that it is not the root of a tree! but the real flesh!

At the moment when he confirmed the guess in his heart, Qin Hai's first thought was to leave here as soon as possible. Such a huge gold and silver snake, disguised as the roots of a tree, and the numerous firefly-like points of light around the canopy of the tree can also suck people's physical strength, all of this is too weird.

obviously wanted to leave, but Qin Hai's body seemed to be ossified at this moment, and he didn't listen to the call at all. He turned his head with difficulty, looked at Ran Xue who was still lying on the ground not far away and had not woken up, and opened his mouth to shout loudly, wanting to wake her up.

The moment he opened his mouth, a large number of points of light converged and surged towards him, through his mouth and nose, and into his body!

He felt a burning sensation in his throat, which became more and more intense as more and more points of light poured into his body.

The burning sensation slid down his intestines, and in a short time, it accumulated in his stomach. The original feeling of hunger was instantly dispelled, and it was replaced by a feeling of fullness that was almost bursting.

At the same time, he gradually lost control of his body, and it became more and more difficult to even blink his eyes.

A large number of points of light continued to pour into his body, as if his body was a bottomless pit.

His mind began to become chaotic, and memories that didn't belong to him began to flash through his mind. Those strange memory fragments made him feel like he was in a dream. In his dream, Qin Hai felt that he was a gold and silver snake that had grown up for a hundred years...

As a gold and silver snake that has grown up for a hundred years, its strength is very strong, even if it encounters the human warrior team that enters the mountains to hunt in groups, they have always been careful to avoid it.

Deep in the mountains, the lonely life is quite boring for a powerful gold and silver snake.

Finally, one day, it couldn't bear the loneliness and decided to sneak into the human city to feel the breath of the human city up close. It chose to carry out its own project on a rainy night.

Nights and pouring rain can be its cover.

However, it never imagined that this plan had not really begun to be implemented, and it died because of its gluttonous nature.

That night, it was raining heavily, and he was on his way to the nearest human city when he was suddenly hit in the head by an object that fell from the sky.

After a closer look, I realized that it was a fluorescent book all over.

For the gold and silver snakes, their eyes are heat detectors, as long as there is heat, they can use it as food to satisfy their stomachs, the gluttonous nature of the gold and silver snake felt the heat from the book that fell from the sky, but after a little hesitation, it swallowed the book into its belly.

In the next moment, there was a cramping pain in the abdomen, and the cramping did not last long, and then it stopped, and an unbearable hunger pang followed.

The gold and silver snake is gluttonous by nature, and the most unbearable thing is hunger, otherwise it would not have swallowed a book with calories in its stomach just now.

It immediately canceled its plan to set foot in a human city that night, and instead rushed into the mountains to begin an endless hunting campaign.

No matter what kind of species it is, as long as it can be swallowed by it, it will not hesitate to open its bloody mouth.

That night, it swallowed a lot of food, but the hunger pangs stayed with it and showed no sign of disappearing.

It endured its unquenchable hunger pangs and returned to its cave. Waiting for death seems to be the only thing it can do.

It lay dying in its burrow, vaguely, it felt as if its stomach was being filled with something, and before it had time to rejoice, it really felt that its stomach was torn open from the inside by something, and then, a tender green sprout pierced through its steely flesh and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Its consciousness gradually faded away, and the last image it saw in this world was a towering tree growing on its body, surrounded by fireflies like smoke and rain...

Qin Hai's dream was here, and there were many fragments of memory in the rest, although they kept flickering in his mind, he couldn't see through them.

"Qin Hai... Qin Hai, what's wrong with you... Wake up..."Ran Xue's eager call sounded in his ears.

Qin Hai opened his eyes hard, only to feel that his eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, and a blink would consume all the strength in his body.

"Qin Hai, you finally woke up, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly faint on the ground? Why did that big tree disappear just now? And those fireflies..."Ran Xue asked one after another, making Qin Hai smile bitterly, he is also in the clouds now, where do he know the answers to these questions.

"You help me up first..."Qin Hai's voice sounded very weak.

"E-hmm. After Ran Xue answered, she helped him stand up from the ground.

As soon as he stood up, Qin Hai immediately swept his gaze to the location of the big tree just now, and sure enough, the big tree was long gone, leaving only a part of the "roots" that were still partially bare/exposed outside the soil.

"Qin Hai, don't you say it's strange, how can such a big tree be said to disappear when it disappears?" Ran Xue muttered curiously, "There is only one root left, could it be that someone just took advantage of my sleep to knock you out and then cut down the big tree?!"

Hearing this, Qin Hai had to admire Ran Xue's unbridled imagination.

"Help me over..."Qin Hai looked at the "tree root" with burning eyes, and said to Ran Xue beside him. The dream felt so real that he had to get a closer look at the "roots" that were still left in the soil.

Ran Xue looked at Qin Hai's serious expression at the moment, and didn't say anything more, but directly helped him to walk towards the "tree root".

After arriving in front of the "tree root", Qin Hai broke free from Ran Xue's support, slowly squatted down, stretched out his trembling right hand, touched the skin of the "tree root", and then did not move away for a long time. At this moment, his expression was unwavering, but only he knew what kind of scene he had in his heart.

"What's wrong Qin Hai?" Ran Xue asked curiously, "Isn't it just the root of the tree, why did you touch it for so long..."

As she spoke, she reached out and touched the root, and a shrill cry came out of her throat, and she fell to the ground.

"This is not a tree root!What is this?!" Ran Xue cried out.

Although Qin Hai already had the answer in his heart, he still shook his head at Ran Xue. The things he knew were too weird for anyone to believe even if he really said them.

"When we dig it up, we know what it is. Qin Hai said.

Ran Xue looked at Qin Hai with a strange expression and said, "Are you sure you want to dig it out?" ”

"It must be dug up, and whether we will return in vain this trip depends on it. "Qin Haidao.

Ran Xue didn't raise any further objections, and the two of them dug up the soil around the roots of the tree with their bare hands.

When the so-called "tree roots" revealed their original form under Ran Xue's digging, even if Qin Hai had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp, while Ran Xue directly shouted "wow".

I saw that the body of the snake exposed in the soil, a series of gold and silver rings with clear colors were arranged compactly, the body of the snake was at least as thick as a bucket, the snake's abdomen was torn, and the inside was empty, without any internal organs...

"Qin Hai, let's get out of here quickly, I don't want to stay in this hellish place anymore. Ran Xue said tremblingly.

Qin Hai didn't seem to hear her voice, and a solemnity gradually rose in his eyes when he looked at the golden and silver snake. The situation in front of him has basically confirmed the reality of the dream he had just had.

The hundred-year-old snake had an appetite after inadvertently swallowing a book, and even though it kept devouring food, it still failed to satisfy the demand for the book in its stomach, and ended up in a dead nest.

Where is that book now?

Qin Hai reached out and touched his abdomen, and an answer was about to come out...
