Lou Jingzhong felt that since those bugs would not run outside the archway, they might as well take advantage here and have a big battle with the bugs, no, slaughter! Of course, all of this is based on the low IQ of bugs, what if bugs aren't so stupid?

Fang Shi was not interested in this proposal at all, who knows how many insects are in this cave? Who knows if the Dao bugs will be stationed in sections, or will play to lure the enemy deeper. And all they carry is insect repellent medicine, and if they have a plan like Molotov cocktail, gasoline cans, etc., it's a joke to want to carry enough firewood to fight the bugs on their own.

Xia Yuxin supported Fang Shi's opinion this time, it is definitely not a good way to fight with insects, and it seems that someone has also entered here, do you have to kill the insects first every time you go in?

The group slowly retreated along the way they came, the reason why it was slow was because Fang Shi asked everyone to pay attention to the surrounding environment to see if there were any traces of insect and snake activity, but after careful exploration, they did not find any signs of insect and snake activity, but found a stone pile of fire pond in the most open cave in the first half of the space, as if someone had spent the night here.

Compared to the outside environment, it seems that this place is much safer, but the cautious Fang Shi still decided to wait until he came in at night to explore, and no one knew what would happen inside this cave at night.

When cooking at noon and getting water, Xia Yuxin found the traces left by a giant python on the edge of the pool, and was startled, everyone couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Ashlar spent the whole afternoon studying the changes in the qi in the cave. Every hour, ashlar would go inside the cave. Go all the way to the torii. Carefully observe the changes in the breath opposite the archway, and by the way, also observe the situation of the outer section of the cave, although the yin and yang breath in the cave is slow, but the flow of air is still very normal, and the flow direction has always been from the cave entrance to the inside, which shows that there is a ventilation hole in the depths of this cave.

This also made Fang Shi have a bad association, did the old man Li Shangui enter the ancestral hall back then? He's not going to just get something in through the vent and he'll be done, right?

Of course, it is absolutely difficult to find this vent. For such a large mountain, it is a little too difficult to find a crack or hole.

It was finally dark, and the second night in the valley had fallen.

The fire was lit again, and Fang Shi used an exorcism charm to drive away the insects that wanted to come and open up the hunting ground, and the mushroom dried meat broth in the marching pot on the fire was tumbling, and the aroma spread, but they had been eating it for many days, and they were a little greasy.

"Fangshi, our water and food will last for up to three days. After leaving here, the water can still solve some problems, and the food can be saved for a little five days. If it doesn't come out tomorrow, we'll have to go back. ”

Lou Jingzhong said a very real problem, in fact, it is already very risky to calculate the supply to such an accurate point, in the field activities, there must be enough margin for the supply, and now Lou Jingzhong actually has to rely on the wild to find water and food to replenish the supply, which is indeed a bit dangerous.

Fang Shi nodded and said, "If there is no progress tomorrow, we will return early the day after tomorrow, anyway, we have already found the land, and we can send more supplies in next time." ”

Xia Yuxin hesitated: "But have you forgotten the people who met us on the way?" If they come with us, this place will be a dead end. ”

Fang Shi smiled: "Not necessarily, do you think that if there are more insects and snakes here, it will be beneficial to them?" ”

Xia Yuxin thought of Fang Shi's way of repelling insects, this is really hard to say, but the other party doesn't need to attack, he just needs to guard the exit of the valley, and he will trap his own people to death, can't Fang Shi think of this? Xia Yuxin looked at the steep hillside, and it was not impossible to climb it.

After dinner, Fang Shi wanted to go into the cave to check again, and Xia Yuxin also wanted to follow, but Fang Shi did not refuse.

The two of them turned on their flashlights and slowly advanced in the cave very carefully, the cave was still dry and quiet, without any snake and insect activity, compared with the daytime, the yin atmosphere in the cave at night was stronger, making people feel very cold.

"I'm afraid there's a crypt here?"

"The Crypt?"

"Well, the holes that lead to the underground waterways and the like, the evil aura does not come from the valley outside, but from the caves inside."

Xia Yuxin's sensitivity to breath was not so high, so she took out a Luo Geng from her pocket, looked at it carefully with a flashlight for a while, and nodded: "Indeed, to put it this way, the grievances of the inner section cave have leaked out at this time?" Those bugs"

"Hehe, those are willingness, they need to be relied on, how can they flow like breath."

Xia Yu was glad to know that she had made a joke, and blamed those bugs for being too annoying, but fortunately it was very dark here, and no matter how red her face was, she couldn't see it.

"Huh, Fang Shi, what you just said is true? Are you really ready to come back later? ”

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I always feel that those people are not simple."

Fang Shi sighed and said: "It's not simple, although this mountainous area is big, it should be familiar to people who live here all year round, there is no reason not to find such a place that is not too secret." ”

Xia Yuxin looked at Fang Shi in a daze: "What do you want to say?" ”

"I want to say, those people are waiting for us just outside the valley."

"If that's the case, then we're still there"

Looking at Xia Yuxin's anxious appearance, Fang Shi smiled: "We don't know that the Dao is dangerous, since we know the Dao, are we still afraid of them?" This is a mountainous area, we can go from anywhere, as long as we don't go out of the valley, it will be very difficult for them to set up an ambush, they have already suffered a loss in a head-to-head battle, do they want to eat again? ”

"But in case they have a weapon in their hands"

"In such a dense forest, the role of weapons is not as great as you think, if they really have high-precision sniper weapons, then there is nothing to say, the question is do you think this is possible?"

Xia Yuxin nodded reluctantly, this is really unlikely, and the other party is not a fool, after suffering a loss, he should know that he is not an ordinary person, and he will always leave some leeway in doing things.

The two walked silently for a while, and Fang Shi suddenly said, "Yuxin, will you blame me for bringing you into danger?" ”

Xia Yuxin replied without thinking about it: "How come? Actually, I think the expedition is very interesting, and if you don't bring me, I'll be angry when I find out about your experience afterwards! ”

Fang Shi sighed: "I've always been a little ashamed to involve you in this dangerous matter, I thought you only liked to study Dao art at ease?" ”

"I like them all, I like to study Taoism, I like to explore when I'm bored from research, I have run all over Qingcheng Mountain, but Qingcheng Mountain is not as dangerous as here."

Fang Shi smiled faintly: "Just these insects and the formation are not dangerous, the danger is always the human heart, I don't understand why they don't want to contact us first, in fact, we have no exclusive plans, if they are willing to cooperate, it is not impossible for us to explore and share the results together." ”

"Well, isn't this the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman?"

After a while, the two have arrived in front of the archway, Fang Shi shines a flashlight on the opposite side of the archway, where can you not see the insect swarm now, occasionally a few big ants crawl on the ground, they completely ignore the flashlight light shining on the body, leisurely on the ground and fly away.

"You don't rest at night?"

Xia Yuxin also felt a little strange: "The snakes and insects here don't seem to live according to normal rules." ”

Fang Shi frowned: "Perhaps, there may be something else affecting their daily routine, but I don't plan to sneak in while they are resting." ”

"Nonsense, those bugs are active during the day and at night, and even if they rest, they take turns."

"Hehe, just kidding, don't be so serious, you've been too nervous these days."

"Who, who's nervous."

"Okay, have you noticed, the breath behind the archway is rolling inward, and the yin energy is on the lower yang energy, what does this mean?"

"This hot spring is right, it is the earth fire hot spring, there is also such a situation on Qingcheng Mountain, and the yin and yang qi at night is very different from other places."

Fang Shi nodded: "I understand, the climate of this valley and the situation of the cave are understood." ”

"Is there a way to get in?" Xia Yuxin asked curiously.

"Huh? These are two different things, but I just want to say that there are probably a lot more snakes and insects living in it than we think. ”

"For what?" Xia Yuxin's face was a little pale, and she felt itchy all over her body when she heard this.

"I guess, okay, let's go out and return early tomorrow morning."

"What? Isn't it the morning after tomorrow? ”

"No need, there's no point in staying here, let's go back first, and come back when we're ready."

Xia Yuxin looked at Fang Shi suspiciously, Fang Shi smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand and gently tugged Xia Yuxin's wrist very naturally: "Let's go." ”

Xia Yuxin was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around and followed, she didn't want to be left alone in this terrifying cave.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Fang Shi and the others began to dismantle the tent and pack up, when the sun climbed the mountain, they began to march westward, not along the valley they came into, but to climb over the steep mountain in front of them, if it is an ordinary tourist to do this, it is indeed very dangerous, not to mention that there are many insects and snakes on the slopes, but Fang Shi has enough ability to climb such a mountain.

Standing on the high ridge, Fang Shi looked back at the mountain peaks to the south, a cold light flashed in his eyes, Xia Yuxin looked back strangely, but there was nothing but the lush mountain forest. (To be continued......)
