"It's more spacious here, let's rest here." Qi looked at an open tunnel in the canyon, then took a few deep breaths and sat down on a rock against the mountain wall next to it.

Bai Zhongzheng, Chen Fang, and Yan Gang immediately began to check the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no danger and no lethal mechanism, they came back and helped Xingshu, Lian Jiuqi, and Ma Fei set up the stove, made some hot food, and ate well and slept well.

Everyone was silent around the three stoves where hot food was cooking, because they were too tired, coupled with overconcentration and tension, in fact, everyone wanted to lie down immediately, don't care about anything, and fall asleep.

At this moment, looking at the flames under the stove in a daze has also become a luxurious way to rest.

Qi Guan got up and looked at the front of the canyon: "The Cast Iron Immortal must have discovered that there was such a strange underground world in this mountain first, so he decided to build Qimen here, no, it's not called Qimen, I'm afraid that the Cast Iron Immortal doesn't know that this place he built will be used many years later." ”

Lian Jiuqi poured himself a cup of hot tea: "I don't know what happened to Uncle Chen." ”

Xingshu took the hot tea handed by Ma Fei and took a sip: "I'm thinking, if there are really three roads, then what will be on the other two roads?" The purpose of the Cast Iron Fairy to build this place seems to be to tell a story to the people who come in along the way, but this story, as far as we can see, feels very ordinary. ”

Bai Zhongzheng said on the side: "Perhaps, the prophet himself is very ordinary. ”

Chen Fang nodded: "I agree, I have always believed that many so-called gods are artificially created, just like this prophecy and that prophecy, all of which were left by some prophets in the past, even if some prophecies seem to be true, but in fact, the way of interpretation is far-fetched." ”

Qi looked at Yan Gang, who was cleaning the dagger: "Yan Gang, what do you think?" ”

Yan Gang put down the dagger: "I am in favor of most of them, but I still have the same idea as the torture technique, I believe that there are indeed unexplained things in this world, at least not for now." ”

"Take the ghosts that everyone often says, so far, I haven't heard of any so-called ghost murder cases, only ghosts are scary, but, indeed, this can't completely deny the ghost god theory." "I feel that in the course of history, people tend to attribute the things that can be explained to science and the things that cannot be explained to ghosts and gods, so I am skeptical about the prophets, at least for now, the things we encountered along the way have nothing to do with divine power and magic." ”

Ma Fei also said: "The cult tragedy that happened in Tiandifu back then, the so-called magic power, was carefully planned by those few people. ”

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Qi Guan sat down, everyone else looked at him, Qi Guan said, "I'm thinking, the so-called prophet should be a person in the past, a kind of honorific title for the wise, the wise man sees things more thoroughly than the vast majority of people, and if he sees it thoroughly, he will have a certain degree of foresight, for example, there is a grenade here, put it in front of me and a primitive person, the safety of the grenade is opened, I will hide, but the wild man will not, why?" Quite simply, I know what it is, and the wild man doesn't. In the same way, between the wise and the mediocre, to put it simply, one understands and the other does not understand, and the latter must see and feel it with his own eyes to understand. ”

The torture technique took over Qi Guan's words and continued: "This is not the difference, I think the biggest difference is that when the wise man knows that something is dangerous, the wise man will stay away, just like our ancestors, in ancient times, they knew that the soldier is an ominous weapon, and they have to use it, but the mediocre person is different, they will think that it is a good thing, and will use this thing to achieve their own goals, and finally be eaten by this thing." ”

Ma Fei leaned on the shoulder of the torture technique: "Okay, can you not discuss such a profound and philosophical thing, how good it is to eat and drink enough and sleep well?" It's just that you have to spend the energy that is not enough in the first place. ”

Torture shook Ma Fei's hand: "You sleep, I'll be on duty first." ”

When Xingshu got up, even Jiuqi stood up, but was motioned to sit down by Qiguan raised his hand, and Qiguan said: "I'll be on duty with Xingshu first, and the others will rest first, and the total rest time must add up to 8 hours, so we are not in a hurry." ”

Xingshu knew that Qi Guan had something to say to himself, so he slowly walked forward with Qi Guan, Qi Guan sat cross-legged on a rock, looked at the people lying in the distance, resting, and asked: "Your master passed away, you were not so angry that you lost yourself, I am very surprised by this, no, I should say very relieved." ”

The torture technique looked at Qi Guan: "Uncle Qi, I don't know what you want to say." ”

Qi Guan sighed and looked up at the top of the cave: "Torture, let me ask you, do you think the profession of cargo chaser should still exist?" You'll answer when you've thought about it. ”

Torture also looked up at the top of the cave, and found that there was a lot of green light flashing there, which looked like a lot of fireflies had gathered, but in this environment, the top of the dark cave was like the night sky, and those fireflies were like stars in the night sky.

"I don't know, I don't think anyone who said it doesn't count, this profession is not a real profession in the first place, at best, it is similar to the court, but the court is inside, and the goods are outside. The courtiers of the past have become appraisers today, and perhaps the merchandisers will gradually evolve into other professions, and will not disappear completely. After the torture was finished, he looked at Qiguan.

At this time, Qi Guan was sad: "History is like a sieve, constantly shaking, there are always things that will fall from those small holes in the sieve and disappear. Not anymore. In the past, there were street performances, but now? It's gone. History will eliminate, merge, and transform some people and professions, and the chaser should not exist for a long time, in the final analysis, the chaser is a profession derived from people in the process of satisfying their own greed. ”

Qi Guan's words make it impossible to refute the torture technique, indeed, there is no selfishness without a cargo chaser, take himself as an example, on the first day he entered this business, he only had one word money in his mind.

As the saying goes, money is not everything, but no money is everything. Everyone understands this truth, no one will be disgusted with money, as long as the money is reasonable, the money is reasonable, those "full of copper smell" words will never be with you, of course, this is just a kind of self-cultivation.

If it weren't for desire, why would the chaser look for those strange objects?

Xingshu asked: "Uncle Qi, do you mean that we should not deliberately keep anything, but should go with the flow, if history should eliminate us, we should accept our fate?" ”

"Isn't it?" Qi nodded, "The chaser has brought too many disasters, and it is common for one person to destroy thousands of people and everything, after your master died, I also thought about it, after this matter is completely resolved, I will also wash my hands with a golden plate, and when the time comes, under the world, there will be you, your father, Taidong and Yuan Zhenba, these chasers, and the past, let them pass, it is just a story, I also thought about leaving these stories, but, after thinking about it carefully, I found that all the stories are tragedies." ”

The torture technique smiled: "Uncle Qi, tragedy is also a warning. ”

Qi Guan also smiled, and the torture technique raised his eyes again to look at the top of the cave, but found that there were more and more fireflies at the top, and some of them were slowly falling down the side of the cave wall, and some of them had reached the top of the canyon, and seemed to be preparing to "flow" down the canyon wall.

"What the hell is that?" Torturer raised his finger.

Qi Guan also noticed that something was wrong, and immediately got up, took out the telescope and looked carefully, but because the light of the thing was too strong in the dark, he could only see a blur of light when he looked over directly, and nothing else could be seen.

Qiguan put down the binoculars and said, "Something is wrong, hurry up and wake up the others!" ”

The torturer immediately pulled out his legs and ran towards the open field, shouting as he ran, and Qi Guan ran as he watched the "stars" that were sliding down the canyon walls, not knowing what they were.

Even Jiuqi and the others were awakened by the shouts of torture, and immediately turned over and got up, and as soon as they got up, they all found those "stars" that climbed down the mountain wall, and Chen Fang, who was sleeping in a daze, got up, and subconsciously said: "How can there be so many fireflies?" ”

Yan Gang handed him his weapon: "This is not a firefly, fireflies have wings!" ”

Ma Fei stood beside the torturer with a pickaxe, watching the green stars slide down the edge of the mountain wall at a rapid pace: "What the hell is that?" ”

At this time, Qi Guan at the front shouted: "Run"

After Qi Guan finished shouting, everyone hurriedly ran towards the front of the canyon.

In the canyon on the other side, Qian Xiuye and the others were also attacked by that kind of green star, and the automatic weapons in their hands did not play much role in the face of those things that were not very large.

"Grenade!" When one of the mercenaries pulled out a grenade, he shouted to warn the people around him of what he was about to do, but as soon as he took it out, he was grabbed by the wrist by the Twilight Bridge.

Inkwilight shook his head at him and pointed to both sides of the canyon wall: "If it blows up, we may all be finished!" ”

The mercenary had no choice but to put away the grenade, take the white phosphorus and pop it out according to the instructions of the Twilight Bridge, throw it towards the rear, and then hurry up to escape, but unfortunately, one of the mercenaries was directly drowned by the green thing that rushed in the sky because of the untimely retreat.

Several mercenaries who had retreated with cover stood there in amazement, watching the mercenary roll and struggle on the ground, screaming at the same time, his mouth opened, and the green thing went directly into his mouth, and then he could clearly see a touch of green crawling from his throat directly into his chest, and then spreading to his hands and abdomen, followed by his lower body. In the process, the mercenary's struggle gradually weakened, and finally he lay motionless on the ground, his whole body turning fluorescent green.

"Let's go! Come on! When Mo Duqiao turned around to urge the other mercenaries to leave, he saw a green monster that seemed to be alone on the mountain wall in front of him, he immediately pulled out the dagger, threw it directly, and nailed the thing to the mountain wall, stepped forward and pulled out the dagger, and looked carefully, only to find that the so-called green star was actually a spider that could emit green light all over his body!

Murwilight gasped and pressed the walkie-talkie to inform the others of the incident, leading the remaining five mercenaries on their way, and temporarily blocked the path of the glow-in-the-dark spider with white phosphorus bombs and incendiary sticks.

In the canyon in the middle, He Chenxue and the others, who came to their senses and left the blood-colored gallery and walked into the canyon, were surrounded by that kind of weird spider group after advancing less than a few dozen meters, unless they had wings, it was completely impossible to escape.

"Stand still!" Mu Tianjian, who was standing beside He Chenxue, shouted, "Don't move, just stand, even if these glow-in-the-dark spiders crawl on you, don't move, and once they crawl on your face, you must close your eyes and shut your mouth, once you scream and open your mouth, these things will crawl from your mouth into your body, then you will die." ”

Everyone had to obey Mu Tianjian's order, chose a slightly more comfortable position, and stood there motionless, watching the glow-in-the-dark spiders around them slowly crawl over.

Chen Taidong watched a few glow-in-the-dark spiders crawl to his feet, he looked down carefully, and asked, "What are these things?" ”

"Glow-in-the-dark spider." Mu Tianjian stiffened his body, opened his mouth and said slowly, "I have encountered this kind of thing in the jungles of the Philippines and New Guinea, this kind of noctilucent spider is a social insect, generally at least hundreds of them live in a nest, hunting and foraging collectively, but the range of activity is very small, basically waiting for the prey to walk past their place of residence before catching, usually crawling into the mouth of the prey, chewing from its body. ”

He Chenxue asked calmly: "If you stand still, you can avoid it?" ”

"Yes, I tried." Mu Tianjian looked at a few glow-in-the-dark spiders that had slowly climbed up along his ankles, "That time in New Guinea, our team strayed into the nest of luminous spiders, and I was the first to be trapped, I was frightened, standing there motionless and not daring to move, closing my eyes and mouth and waiting for death, but after those luminous spiders crawled around me, I left directly to chase others." ”

By this time, the glow-in-the-dark spider had crawled to the waist of all of them.

Fan Junyi said with some concern: "You also said before, under the premise that there are other prey, there are only a few of us here, if no one attracts their attention, will we be trapped here all the time?" ”

"Okay! Go get the attention of these glow-in-the-dark spiders! Xu You grinned, "These things crawl on my arm, it's so itchy and comfortable!" ”

Yang Zhengxia's face turned pale, and he glanced at Xu You, because the luminous spider had climbed up, he stopped talking, and when he felt the luminous spider crawling between his neck and chin, he even closed his eyes, just prayed in his heart that he was safe.

Xu You's words made Fan Junyi scold "perverted" more than ten times in his heart.

Less than a minute later, the surface of the bodies of He Chenxue, Chen Taidong and the other six people was already crawling with that kind of luminous spider, and everyone was enduring it.

Five minutes later, the glow-in-the-dark spider did not leave, and the six of them fell into deep fear, and at the same time felt numbness all over their bodies.

……

When the torturer saw the exit of the canyon, he immediately shouted, "Hurry up! The exit is ahead! Come on! Hurry up! ”

The speed of the luminous spider is always not as fast as the running of human legs, and the torture and others have already thrown off the distance of at least a few tens of meters from those monsters, but when the torture and others rushed out of the canyon, they stopped their steps together, looking at the flowing and turbulent river in front of them, and the underground river with a silver-white light shining at the bottom of the river.

"! How can a river appear? Yan Gang walked to the front.

Bai Zhongzheng and Chen Fang, who were carrying weapons in the rear, glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and prepared to fight with those glow-in-the-dark spiders who rushed up.

Qiguan squatted by the river, touched the river water with his hand, picked it up and smelled it again: "There is a smell of sulfur, and the water temperature is very high, it looks like a hot spring, it is no problem if it is a hot spring, it is definitely unlikely that there will be any monsters that will attack people, go down the river, hurry up!" Hurry up! Down the river! ”

After Qi Guan finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the center of the hot spring river, and the others followed closely behind, supporting each other.

At this moment, the torturers heard a few crisp gunshots from their left, and the gunshots shocked everyone who was crossing the river, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look to the left, and then they saw countless flashlights shaking on the river bank in the distance on the left, and there were also human shouts.

"Hurry up! Down the river! It's a hot spring! Someone shouted in the distance on the left, a voice all too familiar to Torture, Ma Fei, and Lian Jiuqi.

"It's Qian Xiuye!" Torture whispered, "How could they be behind us?" ”

Lian Jiuqi looked over there: "Uncle Qi is right, there are really different paths!" ”

Qi Guan said: "Extinguish all light sources!" Quiet river crossing! Fast! ”

Everyone extinguished their flashlights, supported each other, and slowly walked towards the other side of the river, while paying attention to the luminous spiders chasing behind, as Qi Guan speculated, those luminous spiders stopped when they came to the hot spring river, wandering left and right, not daring to enter the water at all, not even daring to get too close to the water, and always maintained a distance of at least forty or fifty centimeters from the river bank.

"We're safe!" Bai Zhongzheng in the rear breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Fang looked to the left: "You have also heard, Qian Xiuye's side, there are at least seven or eight automatic weapons. ”

Qi Guan walked slowly in front: "Having a gun does not necessarily mean that you have an advantage, in this environment, guns can only be used for self-defense, let's keep quiet, and observe first after crossing the river!" ”

Qian Xiuye and the others on the left hurriedly crossed the river, but the moment Mo Duqiao and Qian Xiuye rushed to the river, they also found flashlights shaking in the upper reaches of the river on the right, although those flashlights quickly went out, but Qian Xiuye immediately deduced that the team was either torture or He Chenxue.

Qian Xiuye asked while crossing the river: "Twilight Bridge, who do you think the people from the upper reaches are?" ”

"It's supposed to be torture them." Mo Duqiao supported Qian Xiuye forward, while gesturing to the other mercenaries behind him to pay close attention to the gestures around him.

Fan Meng subconsciously looked upstream, but all he could see was pitch black.

Yuan Zhenba, who was standing in the rear, couldn't wait to run over to meet Qi Guan and the others right now, because in Qian Xiuye's team, everyone had their own ghosts, and maybe they would be killed inexplicably in the next second.

Yuan Zhenba thought for a while and said deliberately: "Maybe it's not them?" ”

Fan Meng accosted: "Who could that be?" ”

After speaking, Fan Meng looked upstream again, it didn't matter, he just saw He Chenxue and a group of people running out of the canyon in the middle and jumping straight towards the hot spring river.

When He Chenxue was running, the flashlight shaking in her hand would shine on her face from time to time, so Fan Meng recognized her at a glance.

The moment he recognized He Chenxue, Fan Meng subconsciously extinguished the flashlight and hid it beside Yuan Zhenba.
