Chapter 62: The Turtle in the Urn

The four of them held the utensils in their hands and slowly moved downward, no one knew what behemoth was under the hole.

I didn't know that after going down a hundred meters, this cave was oblique, and it continued to extend downward, and no demon beasts were found. Yun Chu was stunned, this cave had not yet reached the end......

All four breathed a sigh of relief. Li Qiuling glanced inside, held the glowstone in his hand, and said to Yun Chu's face, "Are you scared?"

Yun Chu said: "It's not that I'm afraid, but I didn't expect this hole to be so deep." ”

Li Qiuling said: "I didn't expect it either...... I ask you, what would you do if you were in a normal situation with a difficulty similar to this hole?"

Yun Chu knew the other party's temperament very well, how could he say something to retreat, and said, "Under normal circumstances, I would choose to continue walking. ”

"Then if I told you that there was something strange about this mine, would you choose to go on?" Li Qiuling's face looked extremely serious, and this kind of look was not common on her face.

Listening to the conversation between the two, he hurriedly said, "Captain, do you think it's strange too? Why don't we go in, I heard that there are a lot of corpses buried in the ground, and it is inevitable that there will be resentful spirits or something." ”

"Fuji, shut up!"

Zesheng stopped him and patted Fuji on the shoulder, knowing that the other party was afraid of those strange things, and comforted him.

Yun Chu paused and looked at Li Qiuling, this woman was still full of confidence before, but now her face was full of solemnity.

He said, "Don't you have a Xuanling Stone, if we are sure that there are no demon beasts in this cave, what else do we have to fear?"

"Good. ”

Li Qiuling took out the Xuanling Stone, and the four of them saw that it was still as white as jade, and there was no sign of finding a demon beast, but Li Qiuling smiled strangely, but threw the Xuanling Stone down.

said: "Fake, just now a bug flew past me, this stone has no color at all, how can there be this?"

Ze Sheng's face changed, and he said, "It seems that the breath I felt just now is real, what kind of demon beast is it?"

Li Qiuling was silent, and walked at the forefront to explore the way.

Seeing that Li Qiuling didn't want to give up, Ze Sheng didn't dare to retreat, so he said cautiously: "Xiaoqing, if you start later, you must not panic, you must listen to the captain's words, as long as it is not too amazing a demon beast, there is no danger." ”

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

The cave slopes down and is not too steep, just the mud is moist and easy to slip on. Fortunately, the further down you go, the more spacious the cave becomes, and now you can walk side by side.

The four of them went deep along the cave for more than an hour, and Li Qiuling, who was at the front, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Yun Chu saw that the other party stopped suddenly, and there was a bad premonition in his heart inexplicably. I thought I had encountered a demon beast and stepped forward, but I was stunned by the scene in front of me.

It turned out that when I got here, there was a fork in the road, and four caves were divided at once.

"Hey...... what's going on? Captain, Xiaoqing, why haven't you reached the end yet, if you go down, I don't know where you're going!"

After Zesheng finished calling, he glanced at Yun Chu, then waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you came for the first time." ”

Li Qiuling said with a straight face: "That demon beast is so cunning, for fear that someone will seize the treasure, it deliberately made it like this to disturb the enemy's sight." ”

Yun Chu said: "If this is the case, it will not be far from the place where the treasure is hidden. But which hole should we go into? Except for one mine, the other three should be traps?"

"Not bad. Li Qiuling stared at the cave in front of him and nodded.

It seemed that he wanted to fight back again, but seeing that his companions did not flinch, he could only swallow the words when they came to his mouth.

"I didn't see it, Xiaoqing, your eyesight is not bad. Zesheng Zhengse said: "However, choosing the right mine is the difficulty, and it is also the key. ”

Yun Chu sensed it, and secretly screamed badly, the cold qi in the aura was still draining, and if it went on like this, I don't know how much it would be diluted...... It is necessary to find the resources containing ice as soon as possible......

Yun Chu was puzzled: "You have the Qi of the Blue Spirit, and you can't use your perception to explore resources?"

Li Qiuling said: "Yes, as long as it is a naturally formed resource, it will have the ability to isolate the outside world. For example, like a spirit stone, there is a barrier on the surface to ensure that the breath does not leak. ”

Yun Chu suddenly remembered the crystals in the body of the demon beast, which were all wrapped in a layer of skin and flesh.

Li Qiuling observed for a while and said, "In order to save time, the best way at present is for the four of us to act separately, each enter a cave, and gather here an hour later, so as to determine which one is the mine." ”

"Well, I think so too. Zesheng replied decisively.

"Captain, I want to follow you......" Fuji's face turned blue when he heard that he was going to act alone.

Li Qiuling had a headache, glanced at Yun Chu, and asked, "Senior Brother Xiaoqing, what do you think?"

Yun Chu nodded the tip of his nose and said, "I think the safest way is for the four of us not to separate." ”

Li Qiuling gave him a blank look, obviously dissatisfied with the other party's answer. "Okay then, let's pick the first hole and let's go." ”

Zesheng glanced at Yun Chu and smiled strangely, it turned out that Li Qiuling didn't like others to refute his views the most, and now Yun Chu was hitting the muzzle.

Zesheng told him to be smarter, if it was usual, Li Qiuling would have been angry.

Subsequently, Yun Chu followed in Li Qiuling's footsteps.

Since this cave was most likely a trap designed by demon beasts, the four of them became much more cautious, and Li Qiuling, who was at the front, also stopped to observe every few steps before continuing to move forward.

The cave still stretched downward at an angle, and the four of them walked for nearly an hour, but they didn't find anything abnormal, so they gradually relaxed.

"Stop. ”

Seeing Li Qiuling suddenly give orders, the three of them stopped and immediately set up the weapons in their hands.

Zesheng said, "What's the matter, captain?"

"The road doesn't work, let's go back. ”

When the three of them took a closer look, they realized that the cave had reached its end, and they were now facing a bare cave wall.

"Strange, how can this be?" Zesheng cried bitterly, patted the cave wall in front of him with his hand, and judged by his voice that this cave wall was indeed solid.

Li Qiuling saw that Yun Chu's face was not wavering, and said, "Why, aren't you disappointed?"

Yun Chu said: "We easily eliminated a trap, but I hope the rest will be as smooth as possible." ”

Li Qiuling smiled: "You are calm, okay, let's return to that fork first." ”

"Okay, let's go back, I didn't expect it to be so easy. Zesheng said.

Li Qiuling turned around and walked, and Yun Chu and the three of them also followed.

However, before they could take a few steps, the four of them suddenly stopped their steps.

"How could this be? Why didn't we find out when we came in?!" Zesheng looked incredulous.

It turned out that this cave suddenly turned into a fork, similar to the previous fork, and also divided into four caves.

Yun Chu saw that Li Qiuling and Ze Sheng's faces were all different, and thought, "It seems that they haven't encountered a similar situation before. ”

Zesheng said: "Oh, captain, what is the situation?"

Yun Chu nodded the tip of his nose, he wanted to say to look at his footsteps, but he thought of Li Qiuling's personality, so he didn't say anything. Afterwards, I heard Li Qiuling say: "We came from here, let's go." ”

Zesheng looked at the footprints in the cave, smiled suddenly, and said, "As the captain, I'm a little panicked." ”

Yun Chu couldn't deny a smile, they were acting tens of thousands of meters underground, how could they not panic when they encountered trouble? ”

It took about half an hour to walk along the way out.

Yun Chu clearly remembered that when they came, they had been walking downhill, so the way back should be uphill, but after they walked for a while, the cave became flat.

The four of them all sensed that something was wrong, and Li Qiuling stopped and said, "We are going wrong." ”

Zesheng said: "It shouldn't be like this, we obviously chose the cave we came in before, and we didn't take any forks in the road, how could we go the wrong way for no reason?"

"It's kind of weird. Li Qiuling was thinking about something.

Fuji has laid a mine hole and has never said a word, which is really caused by nervousness. At this moment, Fuji took a few steps forward, lying on the ground, passing by the glowstone light, carefully observing.

Yun Chu saw that he was still looking for footsteps, and said, "No, we have made a mistake. After hearing this, he got up.

After a moment of silence, Li Qiuling said, "Let's return to the fork just now, and then make a decision." This time, we will not be wrong if we look at the footprints left in the past. ”

Yun Chu nodded the tip of his nose, and his intuition told him that it was right to move forward, but after listening to Li Qiuling's analysis, it was indeed very reasonable, so he didn't say anything.

After a short rest, the four of them returned the same way.

After walking like this for an hour, the four of them suddenly stopped again.

"How so, if we go in this direction, we should come to the end of the cave before, and why is there another fork?"

Zesheng looked at the four caves in front of him and broke out in a cold sweat.

Yun Chu stood in front of the four caves, glanced inside, his heart beat, and said, "There are footprints in these four caves, how can it be ......?"

Hearing this, Li Qiuling's pretty face changed slightly, and she came over to take a closer look, and said, "No...... These footprints are not left by us. ”

Yun Chu observed these footprints and licked his lips, which seemed to have been left for a short time, and they were much thinner than ordinary footprints, which could easily be eliminated from the four of them.

But when they went down to the hole, they never found any footprints, so could anyone have come out of the ground?

It is conceivable that trapped tens of thousands of meters underground, a large area of footprints similar to humans was found. On top of that, these footprints are clearly new, how horrible would that be?

Fuji said in a low voice: "We can't get out, they all say that the underground of the rotten land is inaccessible, and it will bring ominous, this time we really can't get out......"

Li Qiuling was quite helpless, and in his memory, every time he went down to the mine, he would say something inexplicable. said: "Zesheng, you can persuade him well." ”

"Yes. ”

Zesheng patted Fuji's shoulder and said, "Fuji, although few people have entered the underground treasure hunting in the rotten land over the years, in fact, the real reason is what I told you before, the demon beast is already very powerful, if you go underground to fight it, how dangerous it is, don't you say?"

Fuji shook his head and said, "No, I heard them say that there are many things hidden in the ground of the rotten land from the Suhei era, and they are some unclean things......

Yun Chu's eyebrows jumped, and he was curious, what is it?

"That's what the people of Black Mist Peak said, they are here to intimidate the people who come to the depths of the rotten earth to hunt for treasures, how can there be anything unclean in this world?"

Li Qiuling saw Yun Chu in a daze, and said such a thing, and at the same time wanted to cheer up Fuji, but when he looked at him again, he really felt hopeless.

After some discussion, they decided not to enter the fork again, and it was obvious that they could no longer find the fork in the road with the footprints left before.

For now, you can only rely on intuition and experience to find your way.

So, the four of them walked behind them to see what they could find.

After walking for a while, a scene that made the four people feel their scalps tingle appeared in front of them, and in front of them, another fork appeared, the same four caves.

"How is it possible, when we passed before, there was no fork in the road. How could this be the case this time? Where did this fork in the road come from?"

Seeing that Zesheng was a little exhausted, Yun Chu came to the cave and observed, and said, "It's still the same, there are footprints inside." ”

In this way, they have strayed into the trap designed by the demon beast, and now that they are trapped here, what will they face next?

What kind of creatures left those footprints that resemble humans?

Yun Chu really couldn't think of any beast that could leave such footprints. He felt a palpitation for some reason, and immediately glanced at both ends of the cave! He seemed to feel that in this silenced darkness, there was a pair of eyes quietly watching the four of them......

The mysterious and eerie atmosphere echoed in the cave and could not be dispersed for a long time......

The four of them were silent for a while, Yun Chu's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly thought of something, and said, "I have a way." ”
