The two quickened their pace, but the road was even more difficult, and everywhere there were huge overturned stalactites, and they seemed to be walking through a pile of rubble. The rocks under your feet are unstable, and from time to time rocks from nowhere will roll down.

Yao Fangyu was trying to climb over a stone ridge, and water droplets were dripping on her face. Nangong Jin held the torch in one hand and pulled her up the stone ridge with the other, and before she could stand firmly, she reached out and wiped it on her face.

Yao Fangyu was stunned, because he had never done such a frivolous action. Yao Fangyu reached out to wipe his face suspiciously, but was pulled by Nangong Jin, Yao Fangyu looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Nangong Jin laughed, "It's okay." ”

Another drop fell and landed on Nangong Jin's hand holding the torch - blood drops! The two of them looked up at the same time, and when they rushed to the eye, they saw a few feet away, half a horse's head with its mouth open, obliquely inserted into the stalagmite on the top of the cave. The horse's head swayed, and it seemed too heavy for the stalagmite to fit in.

Nangong Jin pulled Yao Fangyu away, and retreated very quickly, and the horse's head really 'snapped' and fell where they were standing before.

Yao Fangyu looked at the horse's head, a little stunned. Nangong Jin took her into his arms and blocked her gaze, "It's okay, it's okay, I guess it's our horse." ”

"Why—How are you here?" Yao Fangyu asked blankly.

"It must be those monsters created by Zhao Yingfeng, it doesn't matter, those monsters don't live long." Nangong Jin patted her on the back.

"If you know what it is, you're not afraid." Yao Fangyu said it again, trying to comfort herself.

"Yes, not afraid. Now the roof of the cave is only a kilometer away from us at most, so let's find a place to go out. ”

With that said, the two of them walked away quickly. Yao Fangyu seemed to have a shadow in her heart, and she didn't dare to look up.

Nangong Jin tried to raise the torch and look around for possible cracks in the ground, and the sound of 'click, click, click' in his ears started again, this time it was very close. Nangong Jin didn't want to know the source of the voice, and pulled Yao Fangyu away as soon as possible.

Yao Fangyu turned his head in the direction of the sound, and vaguely saw dozens of dark shadows behind them in the darkness. Yao Fangyu turned around in horror, covered her mouth tightly and pulled Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin seemed to know something, didn't look back, handed the torch in his hand to Yao Fangyu, and casually pulled out the heavy twilight sword. The sound of 'clicking' was louder and unscrupulous. Nangong Jin whispered: "Leave them alone, let's find a way to get out." If you dare to come up, you will burn it with fire. ”

Yao Fangyu looked at the small torch in his hand that flashed with a faint flame and nodded.

The lowest part of the top of the cave was less than a zhang, and Nangong Jin tried to poke it with a sword, but he didn't know if he wanted to poke a hole. Those figures may have been really afraid of the fire, but they staggered and kept their distance from them.

Suddenly, a fishy wind blew from nowhere, and the torches flashed and ignited again. Yao Fangyu didn't dare to stay here, and pulled Nangong Jin away in a hurry. There was another gust of wind, stronger than before, and before the two of them could react, there was another burst of urgency, and the torch was blown out in an instant!

Without waiting for his eyes to adapt to the darkness, Nangong Jin picked up Yao Fangyu and ran forward. The wind behind him rose, Nangong Jin staggered, and there was a 'snap' sound, as if something didn't pounce on them, and fell to the ground fiercely.

But the wind did not stop and surrounded it from all sides. Nangong Jin gritted his teeth, slashed his sword fiercely, and rushed straight towards one place. In an instant, the long sword in his hand froze, as if it had struck something, Nangong Jin's sword momentum did not decrease, and he forcibly split the things that stood in the way, and a fishy smell came to his face. Nangong Jin didn't care about it, he used the heavy sword to open the way, and flew out of this gap.

The wind disappeared, Nangong Jin didn't dare to stay at all, who knew that after dozens of zhang, he actually hit a stone wall and almost knocked himself unconscious.

"Ah Jin?!" Yao Fangyu hurriedly helped him and sat down along the stone wall.

Nangong Jin was knocked speechless, and there seemed to be a black shadow shaking not far away, Yao Fangyu took the long sword in his hand and got up to meet the enemy. But when the heavy sword came to her hand, it became a soft lying on her stomach again.

The sound of the black shadow stepping on the gravel was close, Nangong Jin still didn't stand up, Yao Fangyu couldn't meet the enemy when he lifted the heavy sword several times, so he had to retreat and lean against the stone wall.

"Give it to me." Nangong Jin leaned on and touched the direction of Yao Fangyu.

The black shadow was closer, Yao Fangyu touched the stone wall, and hurriedly stuffed the sword back into Nangong Jin's hand. Nangong Jin tried to stand up, Yao Fangyu continued to touch the stone wall and walked away to the side, and suddenly touched the air with one hand.

A group of black shadows had already swooped down on them in the air, and Nangong Jin took a deep breath and raised his sword to meet the enemy. I only heard Yao Fangyu whisper: "Bow your head, short body!" ”

Nangong Jin did it immediately without thinking about it, and as soon as his left arm tightened, he was dragged into the crack of the stone by Yao Fangyu vigorously. Outside the crack in the stone, the group of black shadows had no prey again, and they actually stopped on the stone wall and were reluctant to leave.

Inside the crack in the stone, Nangong Jin didn't dare to move, and Yao Fangyu patted him behind him and asked him to retreat in. Behind this stone crevice, there is still space.

The two sat and listened carefully, and finally a quarter of an hour later, the sound of stepping on the stones outside the crack in the stone crevice, gradually drifted away.

Nangong Jin sighed, and then he felt that the whole body hurt when he hit just now, but fortunately his head didn't hit.

"How?" Yao Fangyu asked worriedly.

"It's fine." Nangong Jin moved his hands and feet, "You can move." Are the torches still there? ”

"Yes."

The two of them were whispering, and they actually heard the sound of 'click-la-......' again, this time very close, in the crack of the stone!

Yao Fangyu took a deep breath, and Nangong Jin said very softly in her ear, "Torch." ”

The two of them were back to back, and the other side was close to the stone wall, and a dusky fire rose in front of their eyes, and Nangong Jin had already lit the torch in his hand.

This is a space that can stand on the edge of the fire, and there seems to be a figure. Nangong Jin stretched the torch in his hand forward, and the sound of 'click-la-la' stopped instantly.

It was a humanoid creature, very small, with a few tufts of yellow hair hanging from its head, and a decomposed inhuman-shaped head in its arms.

When they looked at it, it was also turning its head to look at them. I saw that one eye on its face protruded from its socket, its nose seemed to be crumpled and stuck at random, and the corner of one side of its mouth was cracked to the base of its ear, revealing its black teeth. On the other hand, if it weren't for the gray complexion and the broken bones in his mouth, it would be exactly the appearance of a ten-year-old child.

It's people! In the firelight, all three froze.

A child, what's going on?! Yao Fangyu's heart was sour, and after a while, he slowly stepped forward. Behind her, Nangong Jin grabbed her.

The child stared at Yao Fangyu with two completely different eyes. Yao Fangyu stretched out his hand, and after a while, the child also followed Yao Fangyu's example, stretching out his hand that was sticky with rotten flesh,* and shriveled like a skeleton. Yao Fangyu's eyes moistened.

The child violently threw the half-gnawed head in his hand at Yao Fangyu, and quickly burst out of the stone crack beside them, and ran away without a trace.

Nangong Jin had already taken precautions, and pulled her back, and the head fell to the ground and rolled to the side.

"How...... How so? How so? Yao Fangyu looked at the entrance of the cave, and finally tears fell.

"Now I just hope it doesn't lure those monsters over." Nangong Jin thought for a while and said, "Let's go." ”

"They're not monsters, they're all human......." Yao Fangyu looked back at Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin sighed, "Even if it is, it was once." These things are not smart. ”

"No, he has. He—he was scared in his eyes. Yao Fangyu looked at Nangong Jin and pleaded, "How can I save them?" ”

Nangong Jin wanted to shake her head, but when she saw Yao Fangyu in tears, she couldn't bear it. However, in the current situation, it is not those monsters who need to be saved, but themselves. So, he said ruthlessly: "I can't save them, I can only let them out, it's better to wait for us to go out and find a way." Let's go, let's change places. ”

Yao Fangyu was still in a daze, and Nangong Jin pulled her out of the stone crack.

This stone wall is huge, like the edge of the entire underground space, even if there is a gap in the stone wall leading to the outside, they can't see it at all in the dark, how can they get out? Go back to where you were and poke through the top of the cave? Nangong Jin had long known that this kind of possibility was not at all likely. What to do? The only stone crevice that leads to the outside is now known to be where they fell. Go back again? So high, is there any way to go up?

The two of them walked along the stone wall, torches in hand, trying to find another crack in the stone wall. Nangong Jin subconsciously took out the compass and looked at it, but this glance made him stunned. The hands are spinning wildly! Taking advantage of Yao Fangyu's lack of attention, Nangong Jin quickly put the compass back into his arms.

What to do? It's pitch black underground, and there's no possibility of going back.

Yao Fangwei seems to have been paying attention to one direction from the beginning of the stone crack. Finally, he pulled Nangong Jin, "Go over there." ”

But Nangong Jin walked a few feet and found that something was wrong, there was a small figure three feet away from them, like a rabbit, as long as they approached, they jumped a few steps, they slowed down, and waited in front.

Nangong Jin stopped, "We can't go with it." ”

"He won't hurt us." Yao Fangyu explained.

"It's not human at all!"

"No, he has feelings, what is he going to tell us......"

Nangong Jin looked at Yao Fangyu helplessly, "This kind of thing has no spiritual ......." ”

"Not really. He's waiting for us, he's calling us over, he's going to take us out! Yao Fangyu was anxious.

"Maybe they tried to trick us into going to ......."

"Liar? You just said that this kind of thing is not smart. ”

Yao Fangwei is also right, there is no reason to refute it. Nangong Jin looked at the small figure, as if she had been waiting for them for a long time, she was a little impatient, and actually took a few steps closer to them.

Nangong Jin was entangled, from the bottom of his heart, he would never follow that kind of thing, but .......

"Ah Jin, let's go take a look. Anyway, we can't find a way out now. I trust him, he doesn't lie to us, if not to take us out, but to tell us something. Yao Fangyu didn't know why he believed him so much, maybe it was the loneliness and fear in his intact eyes.

"Okay." Nangong Jin sighed. In case ......, no matter what, he would never let himself and Yao Fangyu become such monsters. He handed the torch to Yao Fangyu and drew his heavy twilight sword.
