Chapter 220: Blood-sucking leeches

Black Dragon Pond, as the name suggests, is a place where a black dragon rests, but the black dragon here refers to something else, it is the place where a blood-sucking leech that has cultivated to perfection lives. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Li Tianqi heard Shura say that Black Dragon Pond was a place of poor mountains and bad waters, and many pictures had flashed in his mind, not a single inch of grass grows, there is no life, desolate and remote.

But in the evening, when the two came to the vicinity of the Black Dragon Pond, they were both surprised, although this place is remote, but it is not barren, on the contrary, it is full of vitality, birds and flowers, like a peach blossom source.

The tops of two high cliffs are next to each other, and between the two cliffs is a mile-wide pool, the water is clear but bottomless. The waterhole and the bottom of the two cliffs form a huge "hole", at this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shines obliquely on the water surface, and the reflected light is reflected in the "hole", but there is no light that should be dangling on the cliff wall, and it can be seen that the hole is abnormally deep.

There are several zhang wide tidal flats from the shore of the waterhole, and the water's edge is unusually calm, and there are no birds and beasts to drink water on the side, and around the waterhole are some weeping willows, and some poplars and all kinds of exotic flowers and fruits, and from time to time a group of civet cats are quickly eating sweet fruits.

The weeds on the ground seem to have been deliberately built, and the traffic is criss-crossed, if the two of them hadn't known that this was a barren mountain and a wild range, it would look like a courtyard for a rich family.

A large grass hut was built on the edge of the waterhole, and it was late afternoon, but the chimney of the grass hut had no smoke at all. There are also some fences around the edge of the cottage, and through the gaps in the fences, you can see that there are actually vegetables growing inside! On the other side of the fence, there are many pigs in captivity, running happily from time to time.

The two quietly dismounted at the foot of a nearby hillside, observing the movements of the Black Dragon Pool.

"This is Black Dragon Pool?" Li Tianqi asked strangely.

Xiao Shura looked around and said, "Yes, it should be here." ”

Li Tianqi glanced at her and said, "I didn't expect this place to be more like a fairyland on earth, and I can see that the monsters who live here are very leisurely." ”

Xiao Shura smiled lightly and said: "I didn't expect this, but I heard that this Black Dragon Pond is a place of poor mountains and bad waters, but it turned out to be like this." It seems that sometimes people often say things that have to be seen. ”

Li Tianqi said: "We have also watched here for a while, but we haven't found any strange situations, is it possible that we have been tricked again?" ”

Xiao Shura said: "It is true that there is no trace of those women in white. But if it's their ploy again, then what are they seducing us again and again? ”

"yes, that's what I've been figuring out all along." Li Tianqi said: "What is the purpose of them taking the trouble to rob your honored guest, that is, the demon girl, and bringing her here? ”

Xiao Shura took a few steps forward and said softly, "Let's go to the grass house and have a look." ”

"Wait." Li Tianqi said: "That grass house doesn't have the slightest intention of cooking at this time, maybe there is no one in it." My internal strength has not recovered yet, you go over and take a look first, so that it is not easy for people to find out, if there is no accident, you can send me a signal. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Shura nodded, "That's fine." So saying, she crept behind the poplar tree, and looked around for a moment with her eyes alert, to make sure that no one else was there, and in two or three strokes she jumped to the grass.

Xiao Shura listened carefully outside for a while, and after confirming that there was no one, he took out a short knife and gently cut the deadbolt inside the door, and opened the door of the grass house.

Xiao Shura pouted and blew a loud birdsong, and Li Tianqi heard the loud birdsong coming from the grass house, and hurriedly ran over.

When he arrived, Xiao Shura had searched the grass house inside and out, and she said, "I didn't find anything, it looked like an ordinary people's dwelling inside." It's not like the place where the legendary blood-sucking leeches live. ”

"Really? Wait for me to see. Li Tianqi walked into the grass house at this time, although the light was slightly dim, but after all, it was still dusk, and he could still see clearly as far as he could see.

The bedding on the wooden bed was neatly stacked, and the cups on a stone table were spotless, and it seemed that the master was also very diligent.

Xiao Shura said: "Maybe we were wrong in the first place, this place is not like the Black Dragon Pool, and this is not the residence of the blood-sucking leech. How can a monster be so particular. There are also vegetables grown outside, could it be that the monster is also a vegetarian, and there are so many wild beasts in this area, there is no need to keep them in captivity, but he has raised a lot of pigs, which is too strange. ”

Li Tianqi smiled: "Maybe he is a well-cultivated monster." It's just that because he is a monster cultivated by blood-sucking leeches, maybe the people will spread the rumors, but it seems that he is extremely vicious. ”

Xiao Shura shook his head and sat down on the seat next to the stone table, "You go and look for it and see if there are any clues." ”

Li Tianqi came to the kitchen, just looked at it for a while, and then shouted softly: "Xiao Shura, come and see, this ......"

Hearing this, Xiao Shura suddenly floated over, and asked urgently, "What, have you found out?" ”

Li Tianqi pointed to the stove and said: "Not only are there no fireworks here, but there are no traces of past use, which is very unreasonable." ”

Xiao Shura couldn't help but admire: "It's still your sharp-eyed and meticulous observation." I've just caught a glimpse of it, but I didn't think of it. ”

Li Tianqi said: "That means that this person doesn't eat cooked food." ”

Xiao Shura's heart moved, "You mean he's still a monster?" ”

Li Tianqi nodded slightly: "Maybe." He lifted the lid of the pot, and the iron pot was not rusty, but it looked like it was used regularly. He reached out and touched the iron pot, sniffed it again, shook his head and said, "This is strange, it stands to reason that if this iron pot is not used often, the bottom of the pot will have some rust, but it looks like there is none." ”

Xiao Shura asked, "Unless he uses a spell to promote fire, then maybe he won't use Chai He." ”

Li Tianqi said: "Well, in this way, it can be explained, but why did he use the pot for what to do? ”

Xiao Shura said, "Maybe it's used to boil water for bathing? But no matter what he does, just this can already prove that he is indeed a monster. ”

Li Tianqi smiled: "That's too." Let's go. There are no valuable clues in it. ”

The two were about to walk out of the cottage, Li Tianqi suddenly saw a deadbolt behind the door, but there was no lock in front of the door, he seemed to think of something for a while, so he asked, "How did you get in?" Is this door bolted from the inside? ”

Xiao Shura thought for a while and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it. This door was bolted from the inside before I came, and I removed it with a daggern......"

"Follow me." After that, Li Tianqi led Xiao Shura back to the stove, "There should be something strange in this." He reached out and was about to pull the iron pot.

Xiao Shura stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Wait for me to come, pay attention to the mechanism." ”

Li Tianqi thought of the previous scene, and immediately retracted his hand, yes, he was a little careless, maybe there was a hidden weapon hidden under the iron pot. He immediately stepped back a few feet and stood next to Xiao Shura.

Xiao Shura stared at the iron pot cautiously, his hands were in the air, and he snorted softly at the iron pot: "Get up!" ”

The iron pot was held up by an invisible hand and gently placed on the ground.

"Authentic!" Li Tianqi and Xiao Shura shouted in surprise at the same time. Although both of them saw a black hole about five feet wide under the stove at this time, neither of them acted rashly.

After waiting for a while, there was no abnormal situation on the stove, and then the two of them came closer to observe, and it was dark inside, and they couldn't see how deep it was.

Xiao Shura picked up a bamboo branch and flicked it into the hole, and the bamboo branch suddenly turned into a ball of fire, slowly falling down, only to see the firelight flashing, and the inside suddenly lit up.

It seems that there is a mechanism inside, too.

Li Tianqi cast a spell and put on divine armor for both of them, "Let's go down and have a look." ”

Xiao Shura nodded, "Hmm." ”

Li Tianqi jumped on the stove, his hands and feet were propped up on the wall of the cave in a large shape, and he slowly descended, there were no steps here, about two feet from the bottom, Li Tianqi looked down and saw that he was almost at the bottom of the cave and jumped down, he fell, walked a few steps, and the laughing Shura behind him also fell lightly, following him.

The tunnel is long and narrow, and it is gradually sloping downward, I don't know how far it is. On the side of the tunnel, there are permanent lights on the wall of the cave at intervals. Although the light of the fire was not very bright, it was enough for the two of them to see the road beneath their feet.

Li Tianqi said softly: "There are footprints everywhere here, and the footprints are quite small, it seems that the women in white have been here." ”

Xiao Shura only noticed those footprints when he heard what Li Tianqi said at this time, and sure enough, those footprints were about the same size as the footprints he stepped on, but they were quite different from the footprints left by Li Tianqi, so just by comparison, he knew that there were indeed some women who had been here. As for whether they are still here or not, it is only possible to know if they go forward.

Xiao Shura said softly, "Will they set up an ambush in front?" Or is it to plug us in here? Her fears were justified, given that she had already encountered two traps.

Li Tianqi said: "Either we withdraw and stop there, or we can only go down." I don't think this is their land, it should be the place where the blood-sucking leeches arech, so if they want to block us here, they can only intercept us at both ends, and since this is not their land, it will be difficult for them to get out unless they are ready to die with us. ”

Xiao Shura said, "You mean that the tunnel is only the only passage inside and outside? ”

Li Tianqi said: "It should be." Why else would you dig this tunnel? ”

Xiao Shura said: "What if they have already come out, but they are hiding outside, waiting for us to enter this tunnel before filling it in?" ”

Li Tianqi shook his head and said: "We have been in for a while at the moment, but they have not moved, there should be no one outside, besides, you can take a closer look at the footprints here, and there is no direction to go from the inside out." I guess they're still in there. ”

Xiao Shura laughed, "Okay. Then we'll give them a pot! ”

The two of them didn't stop any longer, and walked inside.
