Chapter 790: Named Xiaoling
Here is really as Lu Sanye and the others said, every time he walks a distance, he will see three holes appear in front of him, and after walking for less than half an hour, Lin Yi has already experienced more than a dozen choices, and he has seen almost nothing along the way except for corpses, not even a bat or lizard, which makes him feel that the hope of finding an exit is getting slimmer and slimmer. Could it be that the bones on the ground were all trapped here because of the people and creatures trapped here?
Lin Yi didn't dare to imagine, so he had to continue to speed up. He walked into a cave again, couldn't help but look back, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of confusion.
When you come in, you only choose one passage, and when you turn back, there are three more openings, and they look exactly the same. Lin Yi just walked all the way and didn't look back at all, but when he looked back, he didn't know which hole he had just entered.
He thought about it, and found a cave on the far left to exit, and there were still three identical openings on the opposite side.
Lin Yi realized that he was completely lost.
What to do?
He was a little overwhelmed, and the fear of facing the unknown in this cave was even more unsettling when he didn't have the slightest mana.
Lin Yi sighed in his heart, blaming himself for not making marks along the way, otherwise he would have been able to return the same way, blaming himself for being too careless.
In desperation, he had to choose to move on, and in this way, after walking for at least six or seven hours, his legs were about to break, and the cave did not seem to have reached the end of the cave, and he did not know how this intricate passage was formed, man-made or natural, he did not know.
However, after realizing that he was lost, he took out a dagger and marked the entrance of the passage along the way, but after walking for six or seven hours, he did not encounter a hole that he had walked through, which is enough to show that the space is unimaginable.
What's more, the corpses everywhere along the road have already explained the problem, Lin Yi roughly calculated, just the bones that he has seen in the seven or eight hours he has walked so far, add up to at least the population of a small county town, God knows why so many creatures appear here, and all die here.
Judging by the fact that there were almost no injuries on their bones, it was possible to guess that they were starving to death or thirst.
Lin Yi didn't have mana in his body now, and he was already feeling very tired and hungry, so he simply had some dry food in the Qiankun Ring.
But then, he was completely desperate, he couldn't use his aura to open the Qiankun Ring at all, so why didn't he do it?
Lin Yi hung his head and found a pile of bones, sat on the skull of a corpse, and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead while resting.
But at this moment, he seemed to sense some strange cry coming from an unknown place, and the sound was very small.
Like a dog and like a cat's voice.
Lin Yi's heart moved, it was a little unicorn. I spent a few hours only on the road, but I forgot about its storage. And the little unicorn's voice sounded in his heart.
The voice kept continuing, as if he wanted Lin Yi to release it, but Lin Yi couldn't manipulate the Qiankun Ring at all at this time, how could he release it?
Lin Yi took off the Qiankun ring on the index finger of his right hand, took it in his hand and looked left and right, there was no way to open it at all, Lin Yi couldn't wait to smash it with something. But thinking about it, no matter whether Lin Yishe is reluctant to smash it, just the material of this ring, it is estimated that even if the heavy hammer bombards, it will be intact at all, because it is a magic weapon after all.
"Little Kirin, don't be nervous, I'm in a little trouble for the time being. You can't be let out, and then you will be released after you get out. There are a lot of things in the ring, and you will find them if you look for them. Lin Yi tried to talk to the voice of the little unicorn he heard in his heart.
But unexpectedly, suddenly a red light flashed in front of him, and a small red-haired animal the size of a little poodle automatically appeared in front of him in the next moment, and then rolled twice in the air and landed on the ground very lightly.
Not only that, but it also had two unopened pieces of bread in its mouth.
Lin Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately got up from the bones and hugged the Qilin.
The little unicorn did not resist at this time, and let Lin Yi hold it, revealing attachment and pity in his two black bean-like eyes.
Lin Yi lovingly held it in his arms, and couldn't help but ask, "Little Qilin, how did you come out?" ”
The little Qilin still looked at him, as if he was trying to think about what Lin Yi said.
Lin Yi smiled bitterly, how could the little unicorn understand human language?
He put the little unicorn back down, then took down the two loaves of bread, opened one of the bags, and brought the bread to the little unicorn.
How do you know that the little unicorn pushed the bread to Lin Yi's feet with his two front paws, as if he knew that Lin Yi was hungry.
Lin Yi asked it, "You don't eat it?" ”
The little unicorn shook his head this time in understanding.
Lin Yi couldn't help but be surprised and delighted that this little unicorn could understand what humans were saying.
Lin Yi looked at the bread under his feet, although the bread was placed on the pile of bones and was covered with some dust, he still couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Without the support of mana, Lin Yi was already physically and mentally exhausted, so he immediately picked up the bread, wiped it on his clothes, and then began to gobble it up.
When the little unicorn looked at him, he couldn't help but wag his little tail.
Lin Yi finished eating the bread in two or three bites, and gave the remaining one a few bites, and finally felt a little better in his stomach, and wanted to drink water, but there was no water to drink at all, so he had to endure his thirst and hugged the little unicorn.
"Little Kirin, I'll give you a name! Since you're so psychic, I'll call you Little Spirit, how about it? ”
The little unicorn seemed to be very happy with the name after hearing it, and even stuck out his tongue like a dog and licked Lin Yi's face.
In this way, one person and one unicorn finally became friends in the true sense.
Lin Yi ate two pieces of bread, rested for a while, recovered most of his body, stood up and looked at the empty cave full of corpses, and looked at the three passages on the east and west sides of the cave, he couldn't help but sigh, and said to himself: "Xiaoling, I'm lost now, I can't even find an acquaintance, maybe I will soon starve to death like these corpses, and then my body and clothes will slowly decay, become one of them!" ”
In front of others, Lin Yi would never reveal a trace of helplessness and frustration, but in the face of this very spiritual little unicorn, he couldn't help but express his inner thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ling suddenly jumped out of his arms, fell to the ground and quickly ran towards a cave.
Lin Yi was stunned, he didn't know what was going on, he hurriedly followed, and shouted as he ran: "Where are you going, wait quickly!" ”
But Xiao Ling ignored him, and his four little legs ran fast, and after a while, he passed through a passage, and almost thoughtfully drilled into the hole on the left when facing the three holes in front of him.
Lin Yi had no choice but to hurry up, but to his surprise, one person and one unicorn ran for nearly an hour, and Xiao Ling almost didn't want to pass through one of the three holes that appeared in front of him every time, and there was no regularity at all, one would choose the hole on the left, the hole on the right, and the hole in the middle.
After an hour of running, Lin Yi began to pant, but Xiao Ling still did not show the slightest sign of stopping, as if his strength would never run out, but following Xiao Ling's running, Lin Yi found that the bones along the way had some changes, not as intact as the bones he saw at the beginning, but the phenomenon of bone cracking and bone fragmentation, some even had their skulls neatly cut in half by some sharp weapon, and some of the bones had criss-crossing fangs, which looked shocking.
In short, these bones must have had a terrible battle before they were alive for such a scene to occur.
Lin Yi's heart moved, and Xiao Ling seemed to bring himself closer and closer to the truth.
And how does it discern these intricate labyrinthine openings without getting lost? Lin Yi didn't have time to think about it, he had already seen a glimmer of hope in his heart, although he was very tired and sweating like rain, but the excitement supported him to continue to run with Xiao Ling.
Finally, Xiao Ling stopped and faced a cold and secluded cave.
This hole was very different from the previous one, there were not two identical holes next to it, but just one.
What surprised Lin Yi even more was that he saw two rotting corpses that had not yet completely turned into white bones lying next to each other in front of the entrance of the cave.
One is human, the other is covered with reddish-brown scales, the head is like an ant magnified countless times, and there are two antennae on the top of the head, one of which is cut off and the other intact.
It has a total of six claws, with slender black claws digging deep into the human body, peeking out from its back.
And this human looked like he thought he was an old man, although his face had long since rotted, but his hair was gray, and he also held a long sword in his hand, and the long sword pierced the other person's body like the other party's claws.
The smell of rotting corpses kept penetrating Lin Yi's nose, Lin Yi almost wanted to vomit in disgust, but he simply didn't see any signs of maggots on the two rotting corpses, otherwise he would definitely not be able to help it.
Just as Lin Yi was holding his nose and looking at it in a daze, a soft "whimper" woke him up.
It was sent by Xiao Ling, and he couldn't help but look at Xiao Ling. I saw that Xiao Ling had shrunk at its feet, trembling uncontrollably, and the two small black eyes showed a look of fear.
Lin Yi was stunned in his heart, and lovingly hugged Xiao Ling into his arms and asked, "What's inside?" ”
Of course, Xiao Ling couldn't speak, and he still couldn't stop trembling in Lin Yi's arms.
Lin Yi wanted to take him back to the Qiankun Ring, but he couldn't do it without mana.
So Lin Yi said to Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, don't be afraid, I'm here." He carefully put Xiao Ling into his coat, carried it in his arms, took a deep breath, and walked towards the cave step by step.
