Chapter 48: Blood Ants

While they were talking, there was a sudden sound of rustling outside the cave, Cao Xiaoyang took out a dead vine from the fire, and shone it over there with the firelight, only to see a red thing leaning towards this side little by little.

Cao Xiaoyang blinked, he really didn't see what it was, a bright red patch, flowing and spreading on the ground like blood.

When the thing got closer, Cao Xiaoyang finally saw clearly, it was actually a group of red insects, and then he saw them crawling over the corpse of the giant python, and in an instant, the corpse of the giant python turned into a bare skeleton.

Cao Xiaoyang's expression suddenly changed in fright. "Damn, what the hell!"

He didn't react to what was going on, but at this time, Chi Xiaoyue had already grabbed his hand, and then jumped into the pool next to him with him.

The spring is below the pool, but the resulting underground river leads to the depths of the cave, suggesting that the cave may indeed have another exit.

Cao Xiaoyang couldn't swim, and after entering the depths of the pool, he was suddenly deflated, and Chi Xiaoyue wanted to pull him into the underground dark river, but because Cao Xiaoyang was struggling desperately because of panic in the deep water, she really couldn't take him.

In desperation, she had to surface first to ventilate, and at the same time she looked at the edge of the waterhole, the red insects just now had covered all the places, and the whole cave became blood-red, but fortunately, they were afraid of water and did not dare to enter the waterhole.

At this time, Chi Xiaoyue took a deep breath and dived underwater again, Cao Xiaoyang had no strength because of the lack of oxygen for a long time, and finally came down honestly.

Chi Xiaoyue pulled Cao Xiaoyang and quickly swam into the underground dark river, the dark river was formed by a very narrow cave, and the pool water filled it all up, so on the way through the dark river, Chi Xiaoyue couldn't take Cao Xiaoyang up to ventilate, but she didn't know how long this dark river was.

At this time, Cao Xiaoyang was about to lose consciousness due to a long period of lack of oxygen, and Chi Xiaoyue knew that if he fell into a coma at this time, he would definitely be choked to death by the water.

In desperation, she had no choice but to hug Cao Xiaoyang and give him a mouth-to-mouth breath, at this time Cao Xiaoyang regained consciousness little by little, and was a little excited when she saw such a scene.

Chi Xiaoyue patted his face with her hand, signaling him to calm down, Cao Xiaoyang nodded, he knew in his heart that at this juncture, if he lost his mind and struggled again, then both of them might be drowned alive in this underground dark river.

So Cao Xiaoyang relaxed his body, trying to make himself and Chi Xiaoyue's pace consistent, and the two swam forward for about a minute, and the water in front of them lit up with a faint blue light.

Chi Xiaoyue hurriedly kicked her legs harder, and the two finally swam to the water.

Chi Xiaoyue took a big breath, and the whole person gradually recovered, and then swam to the shore little by little.

She looked around carefully, and found that this was a relatively large underground cave, and the pool of water still led to other places through the underground river, but there was another small hole next to the cave, and the wind was blowing out of it, which seemed to be an exit to the outside world.

Cao Xiaoyang is still in the water at the moment, without Chi Xiaoyue's support, he struggled like a chicken in soup, Chi Xiaoyue looked at the shore and laughed.

"So you're a landlubber. ”

"Helpβ€”lifeβ€”yawβ€”"

Chi Xiaoyue tore off a green vine on the cave wall and threw it into the water, pulling Cao Xiaoyang up.

Cao Xiaoyang gasped and knelt on the ground, feeling that half of his life was gone, and Chi Xiaoyue looked up at the top of the cave and found that there were many glowing micas hanging there.

I don't know how this thing glows, but it seems to be the only source of light in the cavern.

Chi Xiaoyue's flint and steel accidentally fell into the waterhole just now, and now she can't make a fire for a while, so she jumped, as if she could fly, and climbed to the top of the cave by stepping on the rocks protruding around the cave in three or two strokes, and then broke two mica pieces down casually.

The light of this thing is much stronger than that of the Night Pearl, and it can even hold up to a low-power fluorescent lamp in your hand.

At this time, Cao Xiaoyang came to his senses a little and stood up from the ground, because the temperature in this cave was much lower than there just now, so he unconsciously sneezed.

"I said what those red bugs were just now, why are they so scary?"

Chi Xiaoyue said: "That's a blood ant, they eat fresh flesh and blood, for them even an elephant is just a piece of cake." ”

"Damn, it's good we didn't go outside just now, otherwise we'd have become two piles of bones. ”

"The poisonous insects in the Worm Valley must have sensed us, this place should not stay for a long time, we must find a way out quickly. ”

"What are you afraid of, aren't they afraid to go into the water?"

"It's just that blood ants are afraid of water, but other poisonous insects are not afraid. ”

Thinking of the scene where the giant python was eaten in an instant just now, Cao Xiaoyang couldn't help but feel a chill behind him.

"Then let's go. ”

So Chi Xiaoyue used the mica sheet as the light source and took Cao Xiaoyang into the cave next to him.

This cave is very narrow, and the width is just enough for one person to pass through, so Cao Xiaoyang can only follow behind Chi Xiaoyue.

Because of the encounter with the wisteria python before, they tossed in the water again just now, and at this moment, Cao Xiaoyang and Chi Xiaoyue were not only soaked, but also had many large and small wounds on their bodies.

Chi Xiaoyue was originally wearing a Miao girl's headdress, but now the things on her head are basically lost, and her black hair naturally hangs down on her shoulders, for some reason, Cao Xiaoyang looked at her back like this, and felt that she was a lot more beautiful than before, maybe she was not suitable for the dress of Miao girls.

The two of them walked in the cave one after the other, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and all Cao Xiaoyang could hear was the footsteps of the two of them.

At this time, Cao Xiaoyang unconsciously remembered the underwater scene just now, and had an indescribable feeling for a while, in just two days, he not only gave her the first kiss, but this second time was actually her again.

Although Cao Xiaoyang knew that Chi Xiaoyue was trying to save him just now, such a coincidence always made him feel that what had happened in the past two days was really incredible.

He lowered his head and whispered to Chi Xiaoyue, "Just now...... Thank you. ”

"Just as a repayment, you ran away with me on my back regardless of the danger, and now we don't owe each other. ”

Cao Xiaoyang thought that Chi Xiaoyue would say something else, but listening to her words, it seemed that she was just taking what happened just now as a transaction.

Her answer made Cao Xiaoyang feel very uncomfortable, but some things seem to be like this, there is a big difference between what you imagine and what others think, and this kind of thing has to be natural, and it can't be forced at all.

The two were silent for a while, and suddenly Chi Xiaoyue said, "Do you care about what happened just now?"

The question was very vague, but Cao Xiaoyang instantly understood that she was referring to what happened underwater, but Cao Xiaoyang was still afraid that he would be wrong, so he asked a little contrivedly: "What happened just now?"

At this time, Chi Xiaoyue suddenly stopped. "What do you say?"

Cao Xiaoyang said hesitantly: "Thank you for saving me......"

Chi Xiaoyue sneered and continued to walk forward.

"I used to think you were quite honest, but now it seems that you are not honest at all. ”

Cao Xiaoyang knew what she was referring to, but now she really didn't know what to say, so she had to keep silent.

After a while, Chi Xiaoyue asked her again, "It seems that you seem to be very concerned, do you have a girlfriend?"

When it comes to the word girlfriend, the first person that flashes in Cao Xiaoyang's mind is Tang Wenwen, in fact, she is not a person in the strict sense, but her relationship with her seems to have reached this level, after all, they have all shared the same bed.

"Sort of. ”

"Oh, no wonder, if I'm lucky enough to meet her, do you think I should tell her about the two of us?"

Cao Xiaoyang found that Chi Xiaoyue seemed to have turned into a devil, because she always liked to ask questions that he couldn't answer.

made Cao Xiaoyang embarrassed and speechless, Chi Xiaoyue's purpose seemed to have been achieved, and she laughed there by herself.

"I think it's not like this, I think you're not bad, it just so happens that this girl also wants to find a good family, if you don't dislike it, this girl will marry you as a daughter-in-law after you get out of here." Don't worry, I don't mind if you have a girlfriend, I'll get along with her when the time comes. ”

Cao Xiaoyang couldn't believe his ears for a while, could it be that his charm was really so great, just two kisses conquered this girl?

But in the same way, this seemed to be a question that he couldn't answer, at this time, Chi Xiaoyue suddenly turned around, looked at Cao Xiaoyang with affection, and then leaned towards Cao Xiaoyang with slightly flushed cheeks.

Cao Xiaoyang knew that he should refuse, but he couldn't help but close his eyes, and suddenly he felt a cold thing touch his face, and when he opened his eyes, it was actually the glowing mica piece.

Chi Xiaoyue finally couldn't help but hold her stomach and laugh, Cao Xiaoyang was stunned for three seconds before she realized that she was tricked, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
