Chapter 230
In Bai Haocheng's opinion, Dai Meitong is just Ye Ziyu's friend, this girl who doesn't talk much, and her expression is always faint, doesn't impress him deeply, it seems that the two of them have never crossed paths.
"What's the matter with the girl?" Bai Haocheng gave a polite salute.
"Last night, Ziyu and Wang Congyi didn't come back with you, so I want to ask about their situation."
Although it was a word of concern, in Bai Haocheng's ears, it didn't seem to have any deep feelings, and it seemed that the friendship between this person and them was not faint.
Although he thought so, Bai Haocheng still replied: "Don't worry, the two of them want to find Brother Ye quickly, so they stayed in the mountains." ”
Dai Meitong frowned slightly, made a worried look, and asked, "There are many beasts in the mountains, and the two of them won't encounter any danger if they stay there?" How could Young Master Bai rest assured that the two of them would be left alone in the mountains? ”
Bai Haocheng raised his eyebrows, what she meant was a bit intriguing, did she blame him for not putting their safety first, or was she curious that he was relieved to let the two of them spend the night alone?
"Miss Dai doesn't know that there are very few animals in the mountains lately, so they won't be in danger. And they should have found Brother Ye and the fox. ”
"Oh? Found it after only one night in the mountains? It's a miracle that so many of you went out for the first three days and got nothing. ”
"Hehe, Miss Dai's words are a little incomprehensible. Are you hoping they won't find it? Or do you hope they don't find it sooner? Bai Haocheng looked at her with a smile.
Dai Meitong smiled slightly, "Young Master Bai said that he laughed, of course I hope that the sooner they find Xiaobai and the pom-pom, the better." That way, they can come back sooner and be less dangerous. It's just that Young Master Bai doesn't seem to have gone to Ziyu and them today, how do you know that they have found Xiaobai and Pom-pom? ”
"I wonder if Miss Dai has two signal flares in the sky above the mountains before dinner today?"
"Yes, there is seeing. However, in the past few days, you can see that signals in the mountains pop up in the air from time to time. ”
"The difference today is that there are two consecutive shots. I don't have many flares left for them, if not for the discovery. They don't shoot two at once, so I think those two flares should be sent to you and me to see, so let's rest assured. ”
"Young Master Bai seems to care about Ziyu very much." Dai Meitong said tentatively.
"Hehe," Bai Haocheng smiled lightly. "You are my guests in the Black Forest Village. If the guest is lost or encounters any trouble, of course I, the host, care, this is the way of hospitality! ”
"But in my opinion, Young Master Bai's concern for Ziyu is not just hospitality."
"Those are just arrangements for the idle people below, I didn't expect the girl to care about these gossips."
"It's just that I saw Grandma Mo's angry appearance today, and I don't think it's groundless. So ask curiously, Young Master Bai should not be surprised. ”
"Where. If the substitute girl had nothing else to do, Bai would have taken the first step. ”
Dai Meitong turned sideways and watched Bai Haocheng leave.
Ye Ziyu didn't expect that they waited in the cave for half a month, during which Ye Baishuang went to the valley again, and those sleeping mutant beasts still did not leave.
It's not an option to wait like this, and if the pompoms are going to sleep in it until next spring, are they going to wait here forever?
If there is anything in the valley that is good for pom-poms, it is better to find out. In this way, the pom-pom can benefit at any time.
"You said that the valley was already crowded with mutant beasts, and I asked you, are they distributed throughout the valley, or are they concentrated in one part of the valley, and they are expanding outward because there are no more animals in that place?" Ye Ziyu asked Xiang Ye Baishuang.
"Well...... Come to think of it, the first time I went in with the pom-pom, it didn't just find a random place to sleep, but ran a long way inside, and then found a small clearing, and I tried to pull it out twice and couldn't do it, but a big reason was because the mutants in that place were too dense. I was afraid that I would anger the mutants around me in a conflict with it, so I couldn't in the end, and now that I think about it, they were scattered around that land. Well, that's right. That is true. ”
"Did you notice anything special about the valley at the time?"
"Yes! Didn't I tell you about a lot of animals? ”
“…… It's not about this, it's the special features of the valley itself, such as whether there are special rocks, plants, or other unusual places except those mutant beasts. ”
Ye Baishuang scratched his head. He shook his head again. "Didn't notice."
Ye Ziyu got up and walked two steps in the cave, clapped his hands, and said, "Then let's go to the valley tonight to have a look." ”
"Aren't you afraid of alarming those mutant beasts?"
"We can test it at the mouth of the valley first, and if it doesn't attract their attention, continue to walk inside, and if not, just come back quickly." Wang Yuyi said.
"That's right."
At night, everything is silent.
Ye Baishuang led Ye Ziyu and Wang Yuyi to quietly approach Taniguchi. The moon overhead was so tightly obscured by the branches that no moonlight could shine into the valley. The already long and narrow valley is even darker and deeper, like a tunnel lying between two mountains that will never end.
No matter how good Ye Ziyu and Wang Jiyi's eyesight is, on such a dark night, they can only vaguely see the scenery in front of them, and those who are a little farther away can only distinguish the shadows of the trees and the immovable rocks.
"A little further is the entrance to the valley, although the number of mutant beasts at the entrance is not as large as the inside, but there are quite a few, you must be careful!" Ye Baishuang reminded.
Ye Ziyu thought about it, took out three mushroom-shaped night lights from the space, and gave them to Wang Yuyi and Ye Baishuang.
"Although we have to try our best not to attract the attention of the mutant beast, but in such a dark day, it is inevitable that we will accidentally step on the mutant beast, these few nights are dimly lit, barely able to illuminate our body, although it will make us obvious, but it is still necessary to use it."
The three of them hadn't walked towards Taniguchi yet, and there was still some distance from Taniguchi, but they could already hear the heavy breathing of the mutant beasts sleeping inside and the snoring of some animals from time to time.
And as they got closer and closer to the mouth of the valley, not only did the sound become louder and louder, but even the temperature around them increased significantly, and I don't know if it was because there were too many mutant beasts inside, and their body temperature affected the temperature in the valley, or if the temperature in this valley was a little higher than that in other places.
When they actually entered the valley mouth, no matter how many mutant beasts Ye Baishuang described inside, it was difficult to calm the scene they saw in front of them through the faint dim light.
The larger mutant beasts prostrate on the ground one by one, their bodies falling to the rhythm of their breathing. The smaller ones are squeezed into the valley as much as possible. Those who can climb the walls are hung on the cliffs on both sides, and even the trees are full of mutated birds that look familiar but can't be named.
Except for the one hanging upside down on the tree, the rest of the mutant beasts all rushed towards the valley without exception, which undoubtedly proved Ye Ziyu's conjecture even more. There must be something in this valley that attracts these mutant beasts, and the attraction of that thing can even make mutant beasts living on the same food chain coexist here without incident, Ye Ziyu wants to know more and more what it is.
Carefully shuttling between the mutant beasts, Ye Ziyu felt like he had entered Jurassic Park.
There are wild boars with horns and bobcats with two heads. A monkey with a tail long enough to wrap its entire body around, a mouse as big as a calf, a wild wolf with wings, and so on. These are all things that can see their original appearance before they mutated, and there are even more indescribable mutant beasts that are beyond measure.
However, these are not the reasons why it is difficult for Ye Ziyu and the others to walk, and the mutated insects under their feet are the most troublesome for them.
A lot of the time, they have to walk on tiptoe to avoid stepping on it.
Fortunately, Ye Ziyu prepared a night light for the three of them, otherwise they would not wake up the mutant beast if they broke in so dark. The mutated insects under their feet were awakened by their stepping, and it was enough for them to stand it.
I don't know how many levels these mutant beasts are, if only I had a device like Bai Haocheng that could sense the level of these mutant beasts.
But fortunately, they walked all the way, and the mutant beasts around them were still sleeping soundly, without any abnormal movement.
"How far is it?" Ye Ziyu asked in a low voice.
"It's coming, it's ahead."
In fact, they didn't go far, but because they had to pay attention to their feet, it took a lot of time, and they felt that they had walked a long way.
"It's time to arrive, you see, I'm still asleep." Ye Baishuang put the night light in his hand in front of the face of a mutant beast at his feet.
There were bubbles on the tip of his nose. From time to time, the guy who smashes his mouth and curls up into a ball with his whole body is not a pom-pom.
This guy really only cares about his own well-being, and doesn't care about his master at all.
Originally, when he knew that Pom-pom followed Ye Baishuang to find him, Ye Ziyu was somewhat moved in his heart. Now this guy hasn't found himself, and in the end he has to find it himself, as a pet, it's really unqualified.
Ye Ziyu bent over to hug the pom-pom, but was stopped by Ye Baishuang.
"No, you think I haven't tried to take it away before. As soon as I picked it up, it would wake up and kick and kick me and jump around, waking up the mutants next to me. ”
Ye Ziyu straightened up, and the corners of his mouth curled. In the next second, the pom-pom, which was still sleeping on the ground, disappeared out of thin air.
Ye Baishuang was startled, and took a night light to shine around, but he didn't see half a shadow of the pom-pom.
"Don't look for it," Wang Jiyi said in a low voice, "She put it into the space." ”
"Huh? How do you know? Ye Ziyu was surprised, she hadn't told anyone that her space could now hold living lifeforms.
"Disappearing out of thin air, if it is not put into the space by you, it has such a ability, and if it really has such an ability, when Xiaobai wants to take it away, it will not conflict with Xiaobai, just disappear so that Xiaobai can't catch it."
"You're smart."
Originally, when he entered the valley this time, Ye Baishuang didn't think that he could get the pompom out, but because Ye Ziyu said that he wanted to come to the valley to see what was going on, he led them in, and by the way, he looked at the pom-pom to make them really feel at ease. I didn't expect Ye Ziyu to have a way to pack the pom-pom so easily, and couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied: "Since you have a way to take it away, why did you let us wait in that cave for so many days!" ”
"Shhh~ Let's talk about it when we go out." Ye Ziyu made a silent gesture, this is not a place for gossip, she still has something to do.
She crouched down, and then the dim light looked closely at the field where the pom-pom had been lying before, and there was nothing unusual except for the overpowered weeds.
She raised the nightlight under the bodies of the other mutant beasts, and found nothing special.
"Strange." Ye Ziyu muttered to herself.
"Huh? Did you find anything? Ye Baishuang leaned over curiously.
"Nope." Ye Ziyu shook his head, got up and looked around.
"Why are you still saying strange when you didn't find it?"
"It's just that there's no weirdness that it should be, so it's even weirder!"
"Ziyu." Wang Jiyi suddenly called softly.
Ye Ziyu hurriedly squatted down again, and saw Wang Jiyi holding a night light in one hand and groping back and forth on the ground with the other.
"Feel the land with your hands."
Ye Ziyu stretched out his hand and placed it on the only open space here, that is, the little open space left after moving the pom-pom to the space.
In addition to the feeling of tenacious vitality transmitted to her by the grass, there was also a slight warmth in the palm.
"That's probably the body temperature of a pom-pom." Ye Ziyu felt that this was normal.
"It's possible, but what if it's not just that?" As he spoke, he put the nightlight aside, and began to go to those weeds with both hands, but these grasses grew very tall, and now they were pressed under the mutant beasts, his movements did not dare to be too big, and he could only slowly pull out the grass roots, but this was simply a pediatric for the powerful Wang Yuyi.
After pulling out all the roots of the grass in this small area, he gently folded it aside and pressed a stone against it, so that a small piece of dirt was exposed.
The land was very soft, and Wang Jiyi put his hand on it for two seconds and smiled slightly. turned back to Ye Ziyu and said, "Come and help me dig the soil, I think there must be something down here." ”
Ye Ziyu wondered, does this guy have a perception ability that is more powerful than himself? You can perceive things that you don't even notice.
"How do you think there's something down here?" Ye Ziyu squatted down again and asked while rolling up his sleeves.
"You'll find out soon."
This vacant land is not large, only enough for two people to squat down, Ye Baishuang stood aside boredly, and muttered to himself: I don't know who said it just now, it is not easy to gossip here.
When Ye Ziyu's two hands touched the land, surprise was immediately written on his face.
If the temperature on the weeds is the residual temperature of the pom-poms, how can the ground covered by such thick weeds also be warm? (To be continued.) )
