Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, and the old coachman had woken up from his healing, and when he woke up, he showed a smile on his face, and even a little excited.

"Grandpa Mu, are you awake?" Liu Shu and Ye Qiu quickly walked over

Seeing the old coachman's excited smile, Ye Qiu couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked, "Mr. Mu, have you broken through?" ”

The old coachman was seriously injured three days ago, but after healing, he showed an excited look, which made Ye Qiu immediately think of the other party's breakthrough, because the old coachman's aura at the moment is a lot stronger, could it be that this old coachman was a blessing in disguise, so he broke through to the late stage of the Void Realm?

The old coachman smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How can it be so fast, I have been in the middle of the Void Realm for a few years, but I have never broken through the barrier in the late stage. After this injury, I did have some insights, although I didn't break through to the late stage of the Void Realm, but I think it's probably not far from a breakthrough. ”

Ye Qiu smiled, yes, the old coachman is now more than sixty years old, and at this age, he only has the strength of the middle stage of the Void Realm, and he is afraid that there will not be much breakthrough in this life, and it is a comfort to be able to break through to the late stage of the Void Realm.

Cultivators and monks are the same, the higher the realm, the more difficult the level you encounter, as long as you can touch the threshold of breakthrough, then you can break through, this requires a high level of talent. This is also the reason why some cultivators can only wander in the subtle realm for decades, and some have broken through to the realm of dissolving in just a few years.

It's the same with physical training, although most of them rely on external objects to stimulate the body to achieve stronger strength, but it still requires talent, if you don't have the perseverance to persevere, and you don't have a deep understanding, you will not stop in the end. Now Ye Qiu doesn't know what realm he is in, and in the body training cheats left by the old guy, there is no exact mention of the realm of body training. As long as Ye Qiu will make some progress, then he will definitely encounter the level, and it is unknown whether he can break through by then.

After three days of healing, the old coachman's injuries finally stabilized, but after all, the injuries were too strict and not suitable for hurrying, but there would be a fierce beast sneaking up at any time in this deep pit, and the three of them were also a little worried, so they had the idea of leaving this deep pit, but speaking of the giant praying mantis, the old coachman was also a little strange.

"This giant praying mantis is indeed curious, not to mention that there is no record in this book of the world, even I have lived for dozens of years, and I have never heard of it! However, anything can happen in thousands of worlds, maybe this is a mutated beast, maybe it's a problem with the environment, or maybe this beast accidentally eats the spirit fruit and finally transforms into this! ”

The old coachman's statement is the same as Ye Qiu's idea, but this giant praying mantis seems to have been living in this deep pit all along, which can be seen from the bones of those dead fierce beasts.

Ye Qiu said his thoughts, and the old coachman was surprised, "What the lone wolf brother means is that that cave is most likely the cause of the giant mantis mutation." ”

"I'm just guessing, but that cave gives me a strange feeling, so I want to go in and find out, but Mr. Mu, you are injured now, if you really can't do it, I'll send you up first, and then come down to have a look!"

The old coachman groaned for a moment, in fact, he also had an urge to go in and have a look, but she was worried that the young lady would be in danger when she was alone outside.

"Let's go in and have a look! You let us stay on top, in case we encounter a powerful beast, you can rest assured! Liu Shu muttered, and then felt that he had made a mistake in his words, and couldn't help blushing, turned sideways and said in a panic, "I mean, if something happens to Grandpa Mu and me, you won't be able to get the five thousand spirit stones." ”

Ye Qiu smiled, he was curious and wanted to go in and join in the fun!

"Okay, Miss and I will also go in with you, fortunately there are no other fierce beasts in this pit except for the giant praying mantis, otherwise the cave will definitely be dangerous." The old coachman nodded.

The three of them stood up and quickly walked towards the place where there were many vines, and not far away, in the dirt next to a giant ruler, a triangular head slowly emerged from the earth, and when they saw these three human cultivators walking towards the entrance of the cave, they immediately showed a panicked look, and then the murderous intent loomed and buried themselves in the soil again.

For example, deep pits, which reach a depth of more than ten or twenty meters and cover a wide area, are not uncommon in the world, and this phenomenon is called 'sinkhole'. There are many legends about the origin of the sinkhole, and the sinkhole is also a natural formation, and there are many peculiar places in it, and some of the sinkholes have been developed into tourist areas.

The cave was unusually cool, there was moss all around, and the cave was relatively humid, Ye Qiu and the old coachman slowly followed the entrance of the cave to the inside.

"This giant praying mantis lives in this cave!" Ye Qiu muttered, in one of the places in the cave where the soil was relatively loose, there was a small hole, and it seemed that the giant praying mantis often entered and exited from this small hole.

After walking for a long time, the three of them found the bones of some small beasts, and it seems that this giant praying mantis had also hunted smaller beasts and transported their corpses to the cave for preservation. The temperature inside the cave is low, and the corpse can be stored for a long time.

This hole is all naturally formed, sometimes it becomes extremely narrow, only enough for one person to pass, and sometimes it is wide like a basketball court, but Ye Qiu found that they are getting lower and lower. In other words, the cave is gradually and slowly going deeper into the ground.

Although there was no problem on the surface, they had been walking for so long, and judging from their senses, they were walking in parallel, but Ye Qiu knew that they were leaning down, because the cave wall began to get more and more wet, and the sound of rushing water was getting closer and closer, which also showed that they were getting closer and closer to the underground dark river.

Of course, Ye Qiu didn't just come to see the appearance of the underground dark river, he had always felt that there was something in it before, but after walking for so long, he was almost to the underground dark river, and he didn't find anything.

Did I guess wrong? Ye Qiu smiled slightly bitterly, if they didn't find anything, they would have come for nothing.

Just as he was about to tell the old coachman and Liu Shu and return the same way, a voice sounded. It was the sound of a stone falling to the ground, Ye Qiu turned around instantly, and immediately saw a leg coming out of the wall more than ten meters away, and a triangular head, which was the giant mantis.

When this guy saw that he was discovered by Ye Qiu and others, he immediately retracted his head and legs, and hurriedly fled.

The three of them walked to that place, there was an extra hole in the wall, obviously just now, without Ye Qiu and the others knowing, this giant praying mantis had been watching behind. The old coachman sighed, "This beast is so cunning that it has begun to spy on us, and there is nothing to be found in this cave, so let's go up quickly." ”

"No, just now I had the same idea as Mr. Mu, and I didn't think there was anything to be found here, but now I don't think so!" Ye Qiu grinned.

Liu Shu walked over and asked softly, "What did you find?" ”

Ye Qiu turned around and looked in the direction of the underground river, showing a mysterious smile, just now Mr. Mu said, this fierce beast is spying on us, since it is spying on us, then there is something in it, which makes it very nervous, it is best not to let us not find that thing.

"Maybe it's spying on us and stalking us, and then find the right time to sneak up on us?" Liu Shu frowned.

She is actually right, and many people will also think so, some cunning beasts quietly follow the cultivators, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, this explanation is also reasonable. However, Ye Qiu didn't think so, a cunning beast would indeed do that, but in fact, this was no different from looking for death.

Ye Qiu's strength itself is much higher than that of the other party, and in addition to him, there are also Liu Shu and the old coachman, plus the hole is already narrow, and it is not that there is no place full of mud, some solid stones, this giant mantis can't get in, if it dares to sneak attack, isn't it looking for death? So it is absolutely impossible for the latter to choose to sneak attack here.

Moreover, Ye Qiu always felt that this giant praying mantis was not so simple, in the past three days, this thing would make some noise from time to time, such as grinding stones at night, or suddenly bursting out of the dirt when you were inadvertent, revealing a fierce appearance, but when you were about to make a move, the other party suddenly burrowed into the dirt and so on.

There are many similar strange moves, on the surface, it looks like they want to deal with Ye Qiu and the others, but in fact, as long as you pay attention to the details, you can guess that this giant mantis is scaring Ye Qiu and the others, one purpose is to let Ye Qiu leave here as soon as possible.

In this way, Ye Qiu was even more curious, if there was nothing in this, he wouldn't believe it.

After listening to Ye Qiu's analysis, the old coachman also felt quite reasonable, only Liu Shu said in disbelief, "Is this beast really that smart?" Isn't this similar to us humans? ”

Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, if he guessed correctly, I'm afraid it would be so! This giant praying mantis may really have a terrifying IQ.

Whether it is in the small heaven realm or anywhere, animals and fierce beasts are all species with low IQ, even in the small heaven realm, the higher the level of the fierce beast, the higher the IQ, but the IQ of this giant mantis is too high, right? Although Ye Qiu had never seen an eighth-level or ninth-level fierce beast, he dared to conclude that even these powerful fierce beasts might not have the same IQ as this guy who drilled into the ground.

"Let's go further, if it's really as the lone wolf brother said, maybe there is really some treasure in the depths of this cave!" The old coachman said with a smile.

The three of them continued to move forward, but the closer they got to the underground dark river, the more careful they became, although it was true that there was only this giant mantis in this deep pit, it was difficult to guarantee that there was no danger in the depths of this cave, not to mention, if this giant mantis really didn't want Ye Qiu and the others to continue to move forward in order to discover the secrets in the depths of this cave, maybe they would sneak attack and stop them on the way.
