Chapter 25, The Way Back

Hu Tu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said, "As I slowly approached the great circle of my people's siege, I saw a terrible scene! In the center of the big circle, this man with black wings was sucking the blood of my people! The people who had been drained of their blood immediately died and became scrawny. And the clansmen who form a circle are like being controlled, they will take the initiative to step forward in an orderly manner, and willingly let this person with black wings suck it up! And this person with black wings will suck dozens of people of our tribe every time, and when the blood is full, he will fly away, and he will fly back every few days and continue to suck the blood of my people!"

Hearing Hu Tu say this, Lin Luxian and the five of them were all panicked! Lan Bingyun asked Hu Tu, "Then your people's eyes have turned red and their behavior has become brutal, all because of this person with black wings on his back?"

"Yes, since he came, he has controlled the behavior of all my people, except me. Maybe I have a red eye disease, and I won't be bewitched by him... Well, you young people, if I hadn't found out, would you know the consequences? If I, the bewitched people, catch a foreigner, they will cut off all your tendons and tendons, and then slaughter sheep and cattle and perform sacrifices!" said Hu Tu with a sigh

Ao Yi asked in a low voice, "Sacrifice, what kind of sacrifice?"

"It's human sacrifice! Because you are not deceived, they will break all your tendons to prevent you from escaping, and then sacrifice you to this man with black wings on his back, so that he can suck your blood. ”

"This, this is terrifying! Thank you for your help, I, how can we thank you?" Zhu Xinyan said quickly

"Hey, I don't need any thanks at my age, if I need anything? My family left early, what I need most should be companionship... I've got red eye disease, and my days are running out... After Hu Tu finished speaking, his eyes were full of sadness.

Lan Bingyun asked in surprise, "Red eye disease, time is short, Grandpa Hu, will you leave soon?。。。 ”

"Yes, my red eye disease runs in my family, and I have had it since I was born. There is currently no cure for this disease, and people who have it generally do not live to be 60 years old. And I'm sixty-three years old... But lately, I have been dreaming of my departed family members, and I know that they are coming to pick me up... After Hu Tu finished speaking, there was still a little expectation in his eyes.

As soon as she heard the treatment, Lan Bingyun remembered that when she was in the Shen Smoke Rack, Lin Luxian was pressed to the ground by the mad savage, but Lin Luxian eliminated the murderous nature on its body, making its brutal temperament become docile and timid, and its red pupils also turned normal brown.

Lan Bingyun said to Lin Luxian, "Lu Xian, do you remember when you eliminated the murderous savages when you were in Shen Yanjia? I think you can try it against the Wuqian people in the cave!"

Dian Pu said, "What! Brother Lin still has this ability, then let's go to the cave and capture someone alive to try!"

Zhu Xinyan also said to Hu Tu, "Grandpa Hu, don't worry, even if you don't save us, we will take yours, don't worry!"

Later, the six of them went down the barren mountain, turned back to the vicinity of the cave entrance, and hid not far from the cave, where they saw that the stones blocked at the entrance of the cave had been removed by all the Wuqian people inside, and the entrance of the cave was re-guarded by eight Wuqian people.

Hu Tu asked Lin Luxian, "Since my clansmen were bewitched by this winged man, I no longer know how to be tired, and I won't sleep anymore. How are you going to capture them alive? ”

Hearing Hu Tu say this, Lin Luxian and the five of them were all stunned, they originally wanted to wait for the guards at the entrance of the cave to fall asleep and capture one of them alive. But if it is really according to what Hu Tu said, these bewitched Wuqian people will not sleep, then it will be too difficult to capture them alive! If they rush forward and are discovered by these guards and blow their horns, then when the primitive people in the cave come out, they may be the ones who will be captured alive.

Lan Bingyun sighed and said, "Hey, if Xiao is here, will the situation be better... ”

Zhu Xinyan next to him hurriedly apologized to Lan Bingyun, "I'm sorry, Bingyun, I didn't control the waterfall and let the waterfall run away angrily, if you want to blame me, don't blame the waterfall." ”

Dian Pu heard Zhu Xinyan say this, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, he recalled Xiao, after all, Xiao was a partner who had fought with him, and in order to protect Zhu Xinyan, he impulsively ran away from the partners who had fought side by side together. . .

Lan Bingyun said to Zhu Xinyan, "Don't say that, Sister Zhu, it's not your fault." Xiao's personality is quite cold, but this is related to his experience. He has been ostracized and discriminated against by his people since he was a child, and what he needs is more love. ”

Afterwards, Lan Bingyun asked Lin Luxian again, "But, did Xiao really say goodbye without saying goodbye? What about the curse on his body? He was willing to follow us in order to lift the curse on his body, but now he has left us... ”

Lin Luxian thought for a moment and said, "It is precisely because he has been cursed that he is not afraid of the sun. He was now the only one of the underworld who wasn't afraid of the sun. Do you remember how happy Xiao was when he came to the ground and basked in the sun for the first time after leaving the Ancient Underworld! Perhaps, he didn't need to undo the curse on his body, right?"

"Okay, I hope he will be fine in the future and won't be treated differently by the Hades!" Lan Bingyun said helplessly

"Well, he will definitely be able to live a very chic life in the future, he is a cool person himself!" Lin Luxian echoed

"Since we can't capture my people alive, let's run quickly, and when they find out, we will be in danger!" Hu Tu reminded

Although they were unwilling, the six of them left helplessly, and they climbed the barren mountain again. Under the leadership of Hu Tu, they went around and around dozens of barren mountains, climbing up and down, detouring and climbing mountains. Finally, before dawn, dozens of barren mountains were bypassed. After that, there is a big desert in front of me, and there is a small oasis not far from the desert, and the trees in the oasis are very sparse, and there is only a small tree two or three meters high every few meters, and all the trees add up, only thirty or forty. And next to the oasis, there is a small puddle.

After the six of them came to the puddle and drank the water, and watched the sun gradually rise in the west, Hu Tu said, "All right! Now we should stay away from the range of our people, everyone is tired, let's go to this oasis to rest and sleep well." ”

Then everyone fell asleep on the soft grass of the oasis, after all, everyone had not slept all night.

After more than three hours, everyone was gradually woken up by the scorching sun overhead, and the high temperature of more than 30 degrees made it impossible for everyone to sleep. Everyone was amazed to find that they were sleeping on a piece of sand at the moment! Everyone was covered with a thin layer of sand, and the oasis under their feet was gone! The small puddle half a meter deep next to them had also dried up!

Seeing such a change, everyone panicked. Hu Tu turned his head and looked at the barren mountains they had climbed in the distance, and said puzzledly, "No, the direction is not wrong, but the oasis under our feet has all disappeared, it's really strange!"

Lan Bingyun put his hand into the sand under his feet, pulled out a piece of withered bark, and said, "Look, everyone, this is the tree in the oasis before, right? Now, the whole tree seems to have withered and dissolved!"

After that, they kept pulling out pieces of bark from the surrounding sand, and they couldn't figure out how the oasis, which had seemed so vibrant a few hours ago, would dissolve under their own feet.

There was no oasis, except for the barren mountains they had climbed in the distance, and all that was left was the vast desert. Soon, under the scorching sun, everyone became thirsty and hungry, especially the eldest Hu Tu, who had already suffered from heat stroke.

Dianpu hugged Hu Tu, who was suffering from heat stroke, and said, "It's the endless sun and desert again, do we still want to move forward? We have no water and food, is it really meaningful to move forward aimlessly?" Dianpu began to doubt whether Zhu Xinyan's path was correct, and in order to find a tower of uncertain existence, several of them almost died! Looking at the endless desert in front of him, Dianpu had less and less faith in going on.

And now, not only Dian Waterfall, but everyone else, including Lan Bingyun, her belief has also wavered, several of them are too aggressive!

Later, after some discussion, everyone decided to go back the way they came, return to the city, and go to the Internet and books to find information about the tower in their dreams.

After returning to the foot of the barren mountain behind them, and after a short pause and rest, the six of them began to turn back again, and their destination was to return to the city.

The Hu disciple, who had fainted from heat stroke, walked on his back by the waterfall. When the seven of them bypassed several of the barren mountains and rested at the foot of a mountain near the center, Lin Luxian accidentally saw a cave a few meters above his head, and the entrance of the cave was just enough for a person to burrow into it.

Lin Luxian said to Dianpu, "Why don't we climb up and put Grandpa Hu into the cave, it's so hot outside, maybe it's cooler in this cave?"

"That makes sense!" Dian Waterfall climbed up the cave above, first went in to observe, and then poked his head out and shouted, "Come up, everyone!

After everyone had gone into the cave, Dianpu put Hu Tu aside. Zhu Xinyan hurriedly lit the staff. Under the firelight, everyone found that the cave was still quite large, and there were thousands of bats hanging upside down on the top of the cave, and the ground was also covered with bat droppings. There is a passage in the cave that stretches into it with no end in sight. The passage is so narrow that only one person can pass through it at a time.

Lan Bingyun said, "This cave is indeed quite cool, from time to time there is a breeze blowing out of it, it seems that this cave is ventilated, and this passage in the cave should also lead to the outside." ”

"I seem to hear the sound of water in the distance!" Ao Yi is particularly sensitive to the sound of water

Hearing Ao Yi say this, everyone came to the spirit, and Dianpu was also busy carrying Hu Tu on the side. Then, Zhu Xinyan walked at the forefront with the burning staff to lead the way, and everyone was next to each other one by one, slowly advancing along the narrow passage in the cave.

This passage in the cave is crooked, nine turns and eighteen turns. After walking along the passage for about 20 minutes, at the end of the passage, the scene in front of them suddenly opened up and the light became much brighter.

I saw that at the gap in the roof of the cave more than 30 meters high, a ray of sunlight shone in. Everyone saw that the space in front of them was almost circular, about 20 meters wide, and there was a small stream flowing on the ground. The stream is narrow, less than half a meter wide. When they saw the stream, everyone leaned down to drink water, and then everyone slowly fed the water into the mouth of the Hu disciple. A few minutes later, Hu Tu woke up, he sat up from the ground, looked around, his eyes suddenly became frightened, he said in a panic, "I, how did we get here? No! We must get out at once! Quick!"

"What did you say?" asked Dianpu, puzzled

At this moment, a lot of bats flew out of the passage that the six people had just walked through, and there seemed to be something approaching in the passage! And the gap in the top of the cave was also blocked, and if you looked carefully, there was a huge python that was getting in from the gap in the top of the cave, and then slid down the rock wall, and was approaching Lin Luxian and the six people! This python was thicker than a person's thigh, and it was nearly 20 meters long.

Seeing this, the six people hurriedly turned around and tried to escape into the narrow passage behind them. But it was too late, there was a shadow slowly coming out of the narrow passage, and it was actually a giant python more than ten meters long!

Seeing that the back road was also blocked by the giant python, the six had to quickly retreat and cling to the rock wall behind them. Everyone held all their weapons in their hands and prepared for battle. Hu Tu said with a crying voice, "I have taken you all the way, trying to get around here, just to avoid this cave! There are two giant pythons in this cave, just as you can see in front of you. Who knows, you actually came back and entered this cave, it seems that we are destined for this catastrophe!"
