Suddenly, I became deeply interested in the question of faith in Qiu Er Village, and I must find out why it is.

"That stone statue should be the Phoenix God that the villagers of your Qiu Er Village believe in, although I don't know how much power and destructive power it has, but I am sure that the villagers of your Qiu Er Village have never seen the true face of this Phoenix God at all, and it can even be said that the whole village has been kept in the dark and has been deceived."

There was a slight smile on my face, it seemed that the matter was finally a little frown this time, the high priest was a spore beast polluted beast, this was enough to surprise me, and now the stone statue in front of me was even more mysterious.

Or maybe there was some even bigger secret hidden in this remote hill village, and now I was like a hungry beast, and I wanted to make the whole thing clear.

The high priest must have nothing to do with this Phoenix God, and I think maybe it was a means she came up with, in order to gain the trust of the villagers, or brainwashing, and turn all the people in the village into believers in the Phoenix God, so as to unify their thoughts, and then they can freely manipulate their actions in the shadows, in exchange for their so-called tribute, human blood.

It's just that I haven't been able to figure out what the purpose of this spore beast is to go to such great lengths to hide its identity.

I shook my head.

"Lin Mu, let's go, this place is strange and cautious, and there seems to be something burning in this cave, and the ground is emitting a hot gas."

The girl observed it carefully, both the humidity and the temperature of the ground were different from the usual ground, and the red light in it must be strange, I slowly leaned down, gently grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground with my hands, and gently put it in my nostrils and sniffed.

His brow furrowed.

"This smell, mixed with the smell of limestone, could it be that the fire in here is emitted by the burning of magma?"

I couldn't help but wonder, and then looked around a few times around the environment and rock structure, and found no trace of a suspected volcanic eruption, could it be that my guess was wrong, the temperature of the ground was not caused by magma, so how to explain the unusually red fire.

"Lin Mu, let's get out of here quickly, that monster just now may have smelled here with our scent, maybe it's about to catch up."

The girl had palpitations, and she spoke with a frightened expression, but her tone was very serious. And what the girl said is very reasonable, since this high priest is formed by the spore beast, then her sense of smell must be very sensitive.

It's only a matter of time before you get here.

"Get out of here, where are you going?"

I asked suddenly, and the question made the girl hesitate for a moment.

"I'm going to go to the outside world, I don't plan to stay in the narrow village of Qiu Er Village, I'm going to go out, and now I'm all the same word, going back is death, if you don't go back, maybe there is hope, then it's better to follow the thoughts in your heart to act, even if you are eaten alive by monsters, it's better than staying here." At least I won't regret it. ”

The girl said very energetically, she was completely planning to give it a go.

I smiled and looked at her. Suddenly I feel that this girl still has quite a lot of personality characteristics, she is not only kind, but also has the judgment to be in danger, if this girl joins the revolutionary army, I think she will definitely become an excellent fighter.

I fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

"Girl, have you ever thought about a question?"

"What's the problem?"

Seeing me ask like this, the girl couldn't help but be puzzled and asked rhetorically.

"You can see the high priest, she is a bun polluted beast, this spore polluted beast is the most cruel creature in this world, they have ......."

I'm instilling a new vocabulary into the girl, about how ferocious and powerful Spore Beast is, but she's always thought it was just a big, ugly bug.

The girl interrupted me.

"What's the matter with that bun polluting beast you were talking about?"

I had no choice but to give up giving her a complicated explanation and said it simply and clearly.

"It's not a bun, it's a spore polluting beast, and she's not a big bug, she's an extremely terrifying alien creature."

I didn't even bother to introduce them to her.

I continued.

"That's just the level of intelligence, which means that you know her identity, even if you can successfully escape her clutches and avoid her pursuit. But the villagers of the entire Qiu Er Village may be wiped out because of this, and this spore beast deliberately hides its true body, presumably for her reasons. And I will definitely worry that you will tell her identity than you will slaughter the entire villagers of Qiu Er Village, although I don't know what her purpose is in hiding her identity, but I don't think she will spare you so easily when she reveals her identity. ”

Other villagers will be implicated! At this moment, the girl was stunned for a moment, she had just left the people in the village behind because of fear and hatred, but now when she thought about it, she only felt a burst of regret.

"How could it be, how could I have forgotten such an important truth, if I escaped, then everyone in the village would definitely be retaliated against by her."

The girl panicked and fell into a dilemma again.

"But what can I do if I am so weak, and what can I do to save the villagers in the village."

I shook my head and comforted her.

"Let it be, and now your most important task is to accompany me in and explore this wonderful cave."

I gently patted the girl's shoulder and said flatly.

"Why? I can't help you much, and I'm only going to make more trouble for you. ”

"You can help me, and it's important."

I said unusually firmly.

Surprised, seeing that I showed that relaxed smile, the girl felt that I was a very frivolous person, and I still had a relaxed expression at such a time when the sense of crisis was full. I really don't know if it's brave or stupid, she shook her head and sighed, I really can't help you.

I smiled.

Because of the special period of the past few days, I have always carried a saber and some simple field materials with me.

"Your job is to stay here for me to come back."

"Also, this thing is for your defense, it's short, but it's sharp, and I want it to be more useful than your worn-out scythe."

When I had finished giving an explanation, I left the girl alone at the door of the cave, and asked her to keep the statue in my sight, to keep no one or any animal near it, and to let her scream if anything dangerous happened, and I would rush back at once.

——

The further I went inside the cave, the warmer it became, and my body was already sweating hotly, and from time to time I heard the sound of water droplets dripping on the ground, making a crisp sound that drowned out the sound of my heartbeat. I walked cautiously forward, leaning on the stone wall of the cave, passing through a concrete mound that looked like a swamp, and then through a road of bat droppings about ten centimeters high, and came to a relatively spacious place.

This place is crystal clear.

After taking a look at the strange crystals around me, which were formed naturally for thousands of years, they have high collection value and economic value, and they are very ornamental, so I secretly picked up a small piece and stuffed it into my pocket, and then continued to walk forward.

After walking for about a minute, I came to a narrow hole, which could only be passed by crawling on the ground.

"This voice sounds so strange."

From the entrance of the cave came a strange sound, this sound was like snoring, but it was significantly different from the snoring of humans, could it be the sound of air flow?

The red light inside this cave is even more red and translucent, and the temperature is a few levels different from the outside.

"Go in and take a look."

I curled up, knelt on the ground, straightened my body, and then I slowly put my head into the hole, and suddenly I felt a burning sensation in my throat, and my face was also a burning sensation, hot.

As I tried to push my body into the hole, suddenly, I heard a familiar voice, and to my surprise, it was still a girl's.

"Lin Mu, what are you doing! It's not good, there are several monsters like the one just now chasing after them, and they are probably going to come in now. ”

The girl was sweating profusely, holding the saber, tired and panting, she said breathlessly.

The pupils of my eyes suddenly dilated at this time, and I said in surprise.

"Coming after you so soon?"

"Lin Mu, what should we do now, you should think of a way!"

"Now I can't help it, I'm stuck in this narrow hole, you kick me hard in the back, and then I'll pull you in, this hole is small, they are big, I think I can avoid them for a while."

As she spoke, the girl kicked my ass hard and kicked me in, but I didn't expect the hole to be an empty nest.

After I entered, I turned around and reached out to pull the girl.

"Hurry! Lin Mu, they're coming soon. ”

I did hear the sound of spore beasts walking, and I saw their shadows through the firelight, and one of them was about to turn the corner behind the girl, and at this moment I pulled the girl violently and pulled her whole body in.

"Whew."

The girl and I sat on the ground with our ass slumped at the same time, panting and looking up at the rocky cavern above.

……

This raised my head and made my pupils dilate to the extreme again, and my mouth was stiff and unable to move.

"Dragon!"

To my astonishment, the nest turned out to be a dragon's nest, and on the rock wall above my head was a creature that resembled the legendary dragon, with two huge wings, a large body, fangs, and an angry look in its eyes, and it gently moved its body and poked its head towards us, while its nostrils gave off a warm breath.
