Chapter 39: Underground
Soon, the mobile phone projected a scene of an underground hall in the air, and a figure similar to the leader of the beggar gang appeared on the screen with some excitement.
It seemed that he didn't know that the mobile phone had communicated, and the "helper" chest rose and fell a few times, and his face became calm, and he should have taken a few deep breaths to pretend to calm down.
Xu Yi looked serious and pretended not to see it. When the other party seemed to calm down, but in fact, the excited and shining eyes had betrayed his mood, Xu Yi began to communicate with him.
The two sides had a very pleasant conversation, Xu Yi didn't care about the treatment at all, he just wanted to get the background information about this scene world as soon as possible.
Therefore, there was no refusal to put forward several conditions put forward by this "beggar gang leader", such as teaching knowledge, teaching martial arts, etc.
And the "Beggar Gang Leader" will also provide him with some very good treatment in the eyes of the underground Terrans, such as three meals a day, one cubic meter of pure water per day, and a separate residence.
When the five people on the side heard these treatments, their eyes were as red as if they had pink eye.
Especially the two women, when they heard that Xu Yi could get a cubic meter of pure water every day, their eyes burst out with a shining essence, looking at Xu Yi was like looking at a peerless treasure, and they couldn't wait to hold him in their arms and touch him every day.
After the two sides negotiated the conditions, Xu Yi, who was originally dressed in strange clothes and looked a little ugly for the aesthetics of underground people, suddenly became the object of envy and awe of the five people present.
"Since Mr. and the lord have negotiated, then let's go back to the tribe first!" The middle-aged man's address to Xu Yi immediately changed from the little brother just now to Mr., which means that Xu Yi has been in awe of them.
"It's fine."
Xu Yi nodded.
"Sir, please come with me."
Led by a middle-aged man, after bypassing an unknown number of garbage mountains, a buried hole was opened under a pile of rubble.
Xu Yi raised his eyebrows, the entrance is so hidden, it seems that the life of this group of people is not very good. In other words, it is a bit hard to survive here.
Walking into the entrance of the cave, different from the cold and dark in Xu Yi's imagination, the inner wall of the cave is flickering with a large faint starlight, extending from the exit to the depths of the cave, providing this dark underground with fantastic starlight, fantastic and gorgeous.
Xu Yi followed them forward, greeted by bursts of refreshing breath and faint fragrance of plants and flowers. Not only does it not feel cold and boring, but it also does not feel very depressed just because it is an underground cave.
After passing through a few smaller tunnels, a large cavern-like space appeared in front of them.
On the top of the cave, countless stalactite pillars hang upside down, and on the stone pillars, a little red light is inlaid in it, making it like an evil knife, like a magic sword, and the momentum is so steep that the five people who led the way, as soon as they entered this cave, they all became cautious.
"Be careful, sir, there is some danger here."
The middle-aged man walked in front of Xu Yi, cautiously looking at the stalactite pillar above his head, and his steps were very slow.
Xu Yi also looked up and took a closer look, and found that these stalactites that glowed red were not microscopic plants that glowed like in the inner wall of the tunnel before, but a group of bats with glowing eyes.
Look at this cave of more than thousands of square meters, as well as countless stalactite pillars, each stone pillar, there are hundreds of bats, you can imagine how many bats there are here, and once they are awakened, what will be the consequences.
Following the experienced middle-aged man, the cave soon passed without danger.
Not far from the cave, the five of them breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Xu Yi with some surprise, but they didn't expect Xu Yi to be so calm.
It wasn't until he walked out of the cave that the middle-aged man said with a scared face, "Sir, that cave just now is called the Spilling Blood Cave, and it is full of vampire bats, if we accidentally woke them up just now, it will be troublesome." ”
"With that cave as a barrier, your tribe will be safer."
Xu Yi said that although the group of bats was no threat to Xu Yi, it was indeed extremely dangerous for some fierce beasts or people with bad intentions. If there were no acquaintances to bring in, and they ran into each other and annoyed this group of vampire bats, it would have ended miserably.
"It's just a precaution."
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly. The function of this blood hole is to resist the invasion of a large number of enemies, for individual animals or people, its usefulness is not great, in this cruel environment, can survive alone, whether it is animals or humans, there is an extremely keen sense of crisis and enough caution.
After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, Xu Yi was somewhat counted in his heart.
It was also because after passing the cave, the tense nerves of several people were also relaxed, and the conversation box was opened.
Several people walked all the way, chatted all the way, and Xu Yi finally knew the names of these five people and their positions in the tribe.
The middle-aged man is called Iron Fist and is the captain of this team, two young men are called Lunhe and Shadun, and the two young women are called Huayuan and Tufang respectively.
The corners of Xu Yi's mouth couldn't help twitching when he heard this, this name really has some characteristics, full of the local flavor of the sixties.
"There is a labyrinth tunnel ahead, sir should follow closely, and don't leave behind me if you hear any sound or movement."
Suddenly, the footsteps of the iron fist slowed down, and he said with a solemn face. The people of Lunhe were also pale, and it seemed that not far away was an existence that didn't know how terrifying it was.
Slowly, several people approached the entrance of the so-called labyrinth tunnel, and at the entrance, there was a layer of semi-permeable black mist, if it weren't for Xu Yi's six senses being very keen, he would really think it was an illusion.
Walking into the labyrinth tunnel, all around, there was that kind of semi-transparent black fog, but because it was too dark underneath, they didn't pay much attention to it, or they were used to the existence of this fog.
Xu Yi frowned, and found that the several tunnels that his eyes saw through this layer of black fog did not seem to be the same.
"Does this fog still affect people's eyesight, is it a so-called labyrinth created through hallucinations?" Xu Yi thought in his heart.
I don't know how the iron fist chose the road, he took Xu Yi and a few people, walked around in a few irregular tunnels, and soon walked out of the range covering the black fog.
Xu Yi shielded the illusion created by this black fog through a powerful spirit, and in his eyes, the iron fist was always walking in a straight tunnel, and he had never changed other tunnels at all.
"Sir, our tribe is not far ahead. You wait here for a while, and the lord will bring someone to pick you up, and this is the end of our team's mission. Hope you can make our tribe stronger. ”
Said with an iron fist sincerely.
