Dongqiao suddenly understood.

Xiuxiu shook the lantern in her hand back and forth a few times, and looked at Dongqiao puzzled: "Dongqiao, why don't you speak?" Did Xiuxiu do something wrong? ”

"No, you're doing the right thing." Dongqiao restrained his expression, and stopped Xiuxiu Dao, who was in a hurry to jump down the tunnel, with his hand, "I'll go first, you follow me." ”

Xiuxiu, who was confused, was stunned, and then watched Dongqiao jump down with agility.

The hole looks deep, but what you see is not necessarily true. After Dongqiao jumped in, he found that this hole was up to his waist, and the young Xiuxiu could climb down on his own without his help.

Because the tunnel is very low and narrow, he can only crouch down and move forward on all fours. But after only half a mile, the tunnel became narrower and narrower, so that the East Bridge could not advance or retreat, and it was stuck there!

Xiuxiu, who was following behind with a lantern, was so sore that she couldn't see Dongqiao move, so she muttered unhappily: "Dongqiao, you're so slow!" I knew that I would have let Xiuxiu go ahead! ”

"I can't move." Dongqiao, who was moving more and more tightly, had to ask for help, "Xiuxiu, you pull me." ”

Xiuxiu grabbed one of Dongqiao's legs and pulled it a few times.

Dongqiao soon understood that with Xiuxiu's strength alone, he was afraid that he would not be able to help himself, so he urged again: "Go back and call someone over!" ”

Xiuxiu hurried back to the lobby, and when she saw Master Gao lifting the heavy table and slamming the door, she ran straight over and called him: "Master Gao-Master Gao-you come and help!" ”

"Don't you see Lao Tzu busy?" Master Gao, who was sweating profusely, didn't have a good breath and said, "Go, go, the children's family should stand far away, so as not to accidentally smash the table for a while!" ”

The muscles on his shoulders shook as he spoke, and the lifted pear blossom wooden table was slammed against the door again.

Xiuxiu was frightened by the deafening loud noise, and after the endless aftermath of the beam had dissipated, she stomped her feet angrily and shouted: "Master Gao-Master Gao-Dongqiao is stuck in the tunnel and can't move, you go over and help!" ”

"What?" Master Gao, who raised another pear blossom chair, reacted slowly, and almost didn't hit the chair on his foot.

"Come with Xiuxiu!" Xiuxiu, who was in a hurry, didn't wait for Master Gao's mind to turn around, and urged repeatedly, "If you don't hurry up, the tunnel will be closed again!" ”

The lobby exploded in an instant, and before Master Gao could make a move, there were already monsters with sharp ears who preemptively picked up Xiuxiu and prepared to find the tunnel.

"Roll the calves for Lao Tzu!" Master Gao, who finally understood, snatched Xiuxiu back, and overturned a bunch of monsters in the way in three or two strokes, and then rushed towards the small warehouse with Xiuxiu in a hurry.

The others, fearing that they would be preempted, all pushed and followed him closely, as if they would be able to get out of danger by following him.

Dongqiao, who had been waiting in the dark tunnel for a long time, vaguely heard the noisy movement, and sighed for a while Xiuxiu really didn't have any eyes, but I was afraid that this was also the reason why the chattering bookkeeper deliberately leaked the tunnel to her.

Master Gao stretched his fingers for a moment, then bent down and grabbed Dongqiao's feet and neck, and finally shouted loudly: "Brother Dongqiao, pay attention-"

Before he finished speaking, he was like pulling a turnip in the ground, and he forced the East Bridge out of the narrow tunnel □□.

Dongqiao, who was dizzy and swollen, felt that his shoulders and back hurt badly, and it wasn't until Master Gao carefully placed him on the ground that he found that he couldn't stand still.

Master Gao is not a hard-hearted person, and when he saw Dongqiao staggering and almost about to fall, he reached out to help him with a straight face. It's just Fu Guifu, but there are still no good words in his mouth: "When did you become a soft-footed shrimp?" I just lay in the tunnel for a while, and I couldn't stand it like this! ”

Dongqiao pressed his right hand against Master Gao's arm, and then silently touched his backhand on his back.

"Yikes! Blood! Xiuxiu saw that Dongqiao touched a handful of blood, so she couldn't help but exclaim, "Dongqiao, you bleed!" ”

Dongqiao gritted his teeth and straightened his back, and it took a long time before he said in a dumb voice: "There is an abnormality under the inn, and I was trapped in it just now, and I found that this tunnel has been changing. It looks like in less than half an hour, this tunnel will be sealed. We're running out of time, so we're going to widen the tunnels as soon as possible. ”

As they spoke, several youkai were already scrambling into the tunnels.

They weren't like Higashihashi who were mortals, and they didn't understand the subtle art of transfiguration and shrinkage. No matter how small the tunnel will become, as long as there is a gap left, they will flatten all the bones in their bodies, and they will be able to pass through it.

When Master Gao saw that they were all biting and fighting each other like red-eyed mad dogs, in order to enter the tunnel first, he chirped with disgust: "What a powerful fool!" It's all in such a field, and it's still all about yourself! ”

With that, he lifted the waist of his pants and was about to go up and kick the guy who was in the way.

Who knew that before Master Gao could make a move, several terrible and frightened cries came from the depths of the tunnel.

The monsters who were still fighting to the death suddenly stopped fighting, and after listening carefully for a while, they avoided it with a sense of concern.

Both Master Gao and Dongqiao's faces were a little solemn, but blindly guessing was not the way to do it after all. In order to be able to see the Manniu Alang and his party as soon as possible, they could only grit their teeth and ruthlessly step forward to open the way.

With the help of a Gan Ji Li clansman, Master Gao soon expanded the tunnel more than twice. Because Dongqiao repeatedly told Ning Da not to be small, Master Yi Gao could only shovel the soil with all his strength.

During this period, boiling molten slurry seeped out of the cracks in the tunnel, and every time such a crack was found, Master Gao had to paste the crack with mud, and then the speed of opening the tunnel became faster and faster.

In this way, the narrow tunnel that could only accommodate Xiuxiu and the monster to pass through guò will soon be able to accommodate the people of the Ji Li Nation.

Master Gao, who was at the forefront, had to drive and be on guard, but he was so tired and out of breath along the way. When he finally came to the end, when he saw a stone wall in front of him, he scolded like thunder: "How is it a dead road? ”

"It's impossible to get through." Dongqiao, who had finished treating his wounds as he walked, frowned and said, "Otherwise, where did those monsters that came in before go?" ”

Master Gao felt that there was some truth, and after thinking about it, he went all out to move the boulder.

As soon as the heavy boulder shifted, the entire tunnel began to shake violently. Everyone secretly said that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a step back quietly.

Xiuxiu was held by the people of Tsing Yi and sat on his shoulder, and every time a clod of earth fell from the top of her head, she would make a face like a little adult, and reach out to touch her chest from time to time.

There was a treasure hidden in her arms, which was a small rhombic mirror that Kurosaburo had given her before. She doesn't know how to use it, but it's a baby!

"Dongqiao, are Sister Tsing Yi and Brother San Lang outside?" Xiuxiu, who missed Tsing Yi, asked in a low voice, "Are we going to see them soon?" ”

Higashibashi closed his mouth and didn't reply, staring at the widening gap at the edge of the boulder, as if something dangerous might come out of nowhere.

But to his surprise, until Master Gao completely moved the boulder away, he didn't see any movement on the other side.

Even the master Gao who was in charge of opening the road was a little surprised, they looked at each other with each other, and then leaned over and got into it tacitly.

In just a short step, the world suddenly changed.

At the end of the originally dark tunnel, a bright and bright huge crypt suddenly appeared.

The cavern is so vast that it is dotted with large and small caverns, and the golden-red molten lava dots the rugged ground and stone walls like glowing fluorite.

The rising flames swirled and twisted in front of their eyes, causing them to unconsciously feel a strange feeling, as if their bodies were writhing around like these flames.

When Master Gao and Dongqiao and the others stepped on the ground full of strange stones and molten pools, they seemed to hear a low voice floating gently past their ears.

Master Gao, whose scalp was numb, was a little afraid to continue walking.

"This place is clearly not outside the inn!" Master Gao vaguely guessed that he had entered a place where he shouldn't have entered, and suddenly regretted a little, "My Ge Laozi, we were yin by Mr. Ledger!" ”

"Do you know where this is?" Dongqiao vigilantly looked around, and soon saw that there were many bell pillars hanging densely in the side caves not far away, and there were golden molten lava falling along them, and at a glance, it was as magnificent as a water cave.

Master Gao shook the horizontal flesh on his face, and only after half a sound did he say in annoyance: "I'm not sure about it, but looking at the posture, it looks like a place to suppress the candle dragon......"

"Is that true?" The others were all startled when they heard this, and now they didn't care about being cautious, so they just blindly searched for traces of the candle dragon everywhere.

Master Gao didn't expect them to be so bold, and when they wanted to retreat alone, they were shouted by Xiuxiu again.

"Master Gao, are you going back to the inn?" Xiuxiu shook her feet and asked innocently, "Xiuxiu will go back with you!" ”

Master Gao, who was caught upright, coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then shook his head at Xiuxiu with his fat belly, and at the same time turned the direction stiffly and improved the nearest small cave.

However, heaven is not as good as people, and Master Gao turned a corner and entered the place that others were looking for.

Master Gao, who sensed that he had stepped on a foreign object, stood stiffly at the entrance of the cave, and his eyes were staring directly at his feet.

I saw that under the soles of his feet, there was a tail tip covered with golden-red hard scales.
