After Dundee studied it, he decisively cast a spell, only to see that the huge iron lock was getting brighter and brighter under the magic, from rust to bright as silver ingots, he probably wanted to turn it into money to spend, right? Vanessa thought. But as the color of the iron lock continued to change, she immediately dispelled this idea, and admired the old man's imagination - the iron lock turned into a piece of frosted gingerbread, the cake was fluffy and soft, and when pinched, it fell straight and drooled.

"A piece?" Vanessa took the biscuit off the door and handed it to Matt, saluting Dundee approvingly, "It tastes good, it's just right." ”

The four of them had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, and Vanessa pulled a shimmer crystal from the wall and handed it to Dundee, "Turn back, I don't want them to know how we got out." ”

Simon and Matt looked at each other suspiciously, and the four of them stepped through the gate and streamed out.

Am I going to be so sensitive? Or is the real Solanda never so careful? The thought of trying to emulate her made Vanessa's stomach churn. But even at the risk of being exposed, you have to be thoughtful, and it is better to be questioned than to be caught and taken back as a human body.

The shimmering crystals in the ground gradually decreased, probably because few people walked so far, the pit was almost dark, Vanessa could smell the fishy smell coming to her face, it was different from the fishy smell of the sea, as if the blood had just flowed out of the body, the further you went, the stronger the bloody smell became, and along with this fishy smell, there was also a stench, and everyone was alert, it was the smell of corpses. "Be careful, everyone," the princess drew her sword from her waist, which had been found in Solanda's house, and the eldest sister was always on guard and calculating to kill herself, "There may be a magic trap ahead. ”

"Or an underground creature." Simon gently lowered the prince, drew his iron sword, and stood beside Vanessa.

The eyes of the four of them were focused on the glimmer of light at the corner of the passage at the same time, and they moved cautiously like cats, not even touching the rocks protruding from the stone wall.

Vanessa lowered her head, and from the corner she could see the glimmer of light, stepped completely into the darkness, her sword firmly in her hand. If there is any danger ahead, it will definitely be Solanda rushing to the front.

The wide space behind the corner shocked everyone, where is the passage, it is clearly a temple hall! The hall was irregularly shaped, large and empty, with a towering dome, dusty everywhere, and extremely gloomy. The ground was uneven, and from time to time rocks jutted out to restrain the travelers' footsteps, and the smell was so bad that everyone wrinkled their noses in pain. As Vanessa got used to the darkness, she found that countless lines of dark red blood crisscrossed the entire stone hall floor, stretching from her feet to the top of the hall.

In the faint light, just a few steps away, everyone saw the owner of the hall, a centipede blind newt with a gray-black carapace and countless pairs of thin feet.

The big creature was now lying dormant in the middle of the cave, with a corpse next to him that was still bleeding, its head had been pulled out by its powerful jaw teeth, and the internal organs in the abdominal cavity had been shattered and sucked dry, so that although it was still bleeding, the corpse's stomach was surprisingly deflated. The newt had just enjoyed the perfect meal and was resting and napping, not noticing the four new meat buns that had been delivered to the door.

Maybe it's an illusion, maybe it's too nervous, Vanessa always feels that there is a strange sound in this stone hall, fragmented, overlapping, like countless tiny teeth opening and closing biting, and like millions of ant soldiers in a dense formation, but maybe this is all their own psychological effect, maybe it is the sound of a giant centipede eating and drinking?

By this time, everyone's eyes had adjusted to the darkness in the stone hall, and they hesitated whether to continue forward, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Vanessa.

It was blind, Vanessa thought to herself, no wonder there were so many dark red blood lines on the ground, it turned out to be caused by dragging its prey, indicating that the oversized beetle did not have much strength other than being blind, perhaps, with enough care, we could get to its territory undetected? But just as she was about to take a step, Vanessa noticed the small sounds again, and her heart struck: since it had no combat power, why could it be entrenched in this good place where it was warm in winter and cool in summer, where it could eat and drink without being expelled?

Vanessa looked deeper into the cave wall, her eyes wide open and almost out of her sockets, and soon the princess got the answer, the sound of the back and forth of her feet turned out to be the countless trumpeted centipede and blind newts, which were now wandering and crawling on the walls of the stone hall, their flat, multi-legged bodies clinging to the walls and rock faces, greedily licking the leftover meat of their mother.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the demonic insects as dense and overwhelming, all of them have semicircular carapaces like those of the mother, and their bodies are like chains made of helmets, and countless tiny arthropods are arranged under this helmet to support their heavy bodies. The most impressive thing was the retractable mouthparts at the very front of their heads, and Vanessa saw that the one closest to her was sticking out of the top of her head with long, soft mouthparts to suck the flesh foam and blood, and the liquid food entered the body of the blind newt down the translucent straw, and after absorbing the light, the mouthparts retracted into the depression on the top of the head, continuing to disguise themselves as prosthetic eyes.

Vanessa looked at the worms full of holes and shook her head in her heart, no way, we can't get through guò.

But another voice objected: Why didn't you meet these monsters last time you came? The princess thought for a while, and suddenly realized: she didn't walk through the same passage last time!

Damn little man! Vanessa gritted her teeth and cursed, he deliberately brought us here! Maybe he has already guessed my identity, and what will follow is probably either Xue Lanwei or an undercover agent!

Am I really doomed this time?

A gust of wind blew, sending more and stronger stench to her face, and the princess's mood became more and more irritable, but she ordered herself to calm down, and there were so many people who depended on me for their lives, and I could not give up easily.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in my mind, what was the wind just now?!

Vanessa looked across the stone hall and saw a glimmer of light flickering somewhere there, not the light of the hedron, but the light of fire! And that gust of wind blew from that hole, and that was the exit!

Vanessa stretched out her hand to the exit, giving hope to her friends, although she didn't know how many people would lose their lives in order to pass Guò, but this move was imperative, and if you didn't enter, you would die.

The princess put away her sword, bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, handed it to Dundee, the magician, and whispered to him, "Turn it into a bell." ”
