Chapter Seventy-Two: A Journey to the Underground
Zheng Xuan was stunned, she vaguely remembered that she had tripped up, and then it seemed that someone came over and helped her up.
It seems to be Yu Zhao?
She sat up on her temples, subconsciously looked around, and saw three people sitting not far away.
"Awake?" Yu Zhao was asking Thorne for more information, and when he saw her awakening, he asked casually.
"Where is this?" Zheng Xuan frowned and looked around, it seemed that she was in a cave.
Her head still hurt a little, and she felt that her body seemed to be sticky, and there were a lot of gray-brown silk threads, and she frowned and took these gray-brown silk threads off, and looked at one of them carefully.
Her instincts gave her an ominous premonition about what she was experiencing while unconscious.
"Tsk, during the battle, you were caught by a spider, and we chased you to the underground, so let's save some snacks next time." Pei Hengwu lightly skipped the entire fighting process.
"Did we escape?" Zheng Xuan asked subconsciously.
The scene at that time was Pei Hengwu and Yu Zhao dragging a cumbersome battle against two senior anchors like her, no matter how you look at it, there is no hope of winning.
"Kill them all."
Pei Hengwu tried to imagine in his mind the artistic conception of "the night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City, and the flying immortals outside the sky", and said in a tone that did not care.
This force, he pretended!
"Kill them all? Two? ”
Zheng Xuan's voice couldn't help but rise, which seemed to be so different from what she imagined.
Obviously, when she was there, it was quite difficult for the two anchors to fight, and she and Pei Hengwu were thinking about how to escape under such an attack!
What happened when she was unconscious?
Is it Yu Zhao?
She looked at Yu Zhao, who was communicating with Thorne, and probably had a guess in her heart.
Wait, what do you mean I've been caught by a spider?
Only then did she react, looked around again, and then saw the "soup dumpling" wrapped in spider silk.
She suddenly remembered the remaining unknown silk thread on her body when she woke up, and felt a chill in her heart - that is, she was wrapped in a dumpling by a spider just now?
"You can take a closer look." Pei Hengwu had a bad taste and snorted at the corpses.
Take a closer look?
Zheng Xuan frowned and took a closer look, and glanced at Pei Hengwu suspiciously, she didn't think there was anything strange about this, she only felt that the faces of these people looked a little flat.
Maybe it's an ethnographic issue, right?
Then, a small pebble quietly smashed into the face of one of the corpses......
Zheng Xuan's pupils dilated, and she almost didn't catch it in one breath, only to feel that her scalp was numb, and even her hair was about to explode.
What is this?
A drink wrapped in human skin?
She couldn't bear such a big stimulation when she just woke up, and she only felt a tumultuous feeling in her stomach.
It's not that she hasn't thought about her own way of dying, but who can accept this kind of death?
Her legs were a little weak, she couldn't stand steadily, and she almost threw herself forward and fell on the corpse, and the fear of the consequences of the fall helped her overcome the weakness of her flesh and held her from falling.
With a white face, she glared at Pei Hengwu fiercely, but only exchanged the latter's hehe smile.
That stone was thrown by the boring young Pei Hengwu, and by the way, it could also make Zheng Xuan feel the sinister of life.
Yu Zhao's conversation with Thorne was also coming to an end.
After a series of questions and answers from Yu Zhao, Thorne finally agreed to take Yu Zhao and his party back to the village, but for the safety of the village, they had to meet with the Great Elder.
This request was not a big problem for Yu Zhao and Pei Hengwu, so they agreed casually.
Moreover, there was nothing substantive that could be asked from Thorne, most of them were bits and pieces of information, and it was estimated that only the Great Elder could provide Yu Zhao with more detailed and complete information.
Yu Zhao is becoming more and more interested in the world he is in now, and it seems that there is a lot of room for exploration.
He never imagined that the underground could be so interesting, nor did he expect that he could actually go underground.
However, what worries him a little is, where is Tao Yifei now?
This live broadcast space is a bit large, and there is no suitable communication method in the team, if you are unlucky, it is very likely that you will not be able to touch it until the end of the live broadcast.
For now, all he knew was that the Sunstrider team had killed two streamers.
In a sense, as long as the Changfeng team can honestly complete the task and end this live broadcast, then they will earn blood.
However, the randomness of this live broadcast leads to the strength of the anchors is also uneven, if you are lucky, maybe one of the two anchors who have not yet shown up is the president Kuafu or other top combat power.
In that case, no matter how much Yu Zhao's talent defies the sky, no matter how strong the members of the Changfeng team are, they are destined to fill the trench formed by the strength gap.
That's not called crows to drink water, that's called Jingwei reclamation!
Therefore, Yu Zhao is now eager to make peace with Tao Yifei, and with Tao Yifei's combat power, he can live a smoother life in the live broadcast task and have a greater initiative.
It's just that Tao Yifei is still wandering in the underground world at this time......
In the intricacies of the underworld, it is not the surface world, and sometimes even a stone wall can be a long detour.
If you don't deliberately know the location information, or master one or two tracking methods, the encounter between Yu Zhao and Tao Yifei basically depends on fate.
Now that Tao Yifei has woken up, there is no need for the team to continue to stay where they are.
At Thorne's request, Pei Hengwu took some slime and poured it evenly on the three "soup packets" and lit them.
Several people stared at the burning flames and were silent.
Zheng Xuan's expression was complicated, staring at the beating flames, secretly afraid that if it were not for Yu Zhao and Pei Hengwu's search and rescue, in the near future, she might also become one of them in a coma.
I don't even know what I died for......
Pei Hengwu was staring at the flames on the surface, but in fact he was quickly counting the slime dropped by King Slime.
He heard Night Stalker accidentally mention that the company also provides equipment forging and enhancement functions, but he didn't know if the slime on King Slime's body could strengthen his gauntlets.
At this time, Yu Zhao was thinking about the words that he might use when he encountered the underground inhabitants in the future, since he was a self-proclaimed traveler, of course he had to continue to round out this lie.
Thorne was the only one who stared at the beating flames for a long time, and all the memories of the past came flooding back to his heart, and for the first time, the boy had witnessed life and death, and his heart was like a mess.
After a little more time, he finally adjusted his mood and said in a dumb voice, "Let's go." ”
When I returned to the village this time, I didn't know where I was going to go.
Whether it is to take the corpse of a companion or bury it on the spot, it is too much time waste, and in order to prevent the corpse of the companion from being eaten by other monsters, only the most rudimentary cremation can be chosen.
He could only use the dagger with the gap to cut off a strand of his companion's hair as a souvenir.
This was told to him by his teammates when he left the village, and at the time it was the default practice in the village, and they didn't pay attention to it, not noticing the cruelty of it.
Thorne didn't expect that this would be used in the blink of an eye.
Looking at Thorne, who was leading the way, Yu Zhao was actually quite curious, and he also wanted to see how people living in the underground world discerned directions.
However, after deliberately observing for a while, Yu Zhao had to admit that this discerning direction seemed to have become a skill that did not need to be learned for people like Thorne who lived underground, and it was already an instinct integrated into the blood.
Thorne and his team walked swiftly through the underground passages, occasionally encountering the likes of spiders or cave bats.
Before the change, Thorne would definitely only be able to hug his head and run away, but now, with the two powerful thugs Yu Zhao and Pei Hengwu, there is almost no need to deliberately dodge, just crush the past.
As the group gradually went deeper into the ground, Yu Zhao finally discovered some special places, for example, the passages began to become more and more regular, and even many tunnels were an elliptical or circular, which was not naturally formed at first glance.
"Who dug this passage? It feels very regular, not like a naturally formed ......" If you have a question, ask it, and be curious about the baby Yu Zhao online.
Underground, such a method of making holes and creating passages is the real core technology.
If it were only human digging, how long would it take? Besides, you have to worry about the landslide, if you dig and dig, the passage collapses, it will be a joke.
"These were dug by digging worms." Thorne glanced around the passage and said.
"Digging worms?"
"Yes, Digger." Thorne thought for a moment and added, "If you want to survive underground for a long time, you have to have a digging worm. Speaking of this, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "This is what my teacher taught me." ”
Yu Zhao nodded, while continuing to observe, and at the same time secretly analyzing in his heart - he didn't expect that this village actually had such a profession as a teacher, and it didn't look like a small village.
Besides, this digging insect doesn't know what it looks like, but it can dig such a large passage, and it looks quite large.
The passage they were passing through now looked like it had been formed for a while, at least there were some unknown underground plants growing on the rock walls of the passage, and the occasional sound of liquid dripping could be heard.
"If you walk in the passage and hear the sound of water, there is probably an underground river or a lot of water accumulated above it, so it's best not to act rashly here." Thorne added in time.
"The quality of the channel excavated by the digging worm can be supported for a long time, but the premise is that it cannot be destroyed, otherwise it is prone to accidents." He could see that Yu Zhao's group was indeed a traveler as he said, he had never been underground at all, and he was very curious about everything.
What does the world on the surface look like? Thorne didn't know, he had only heard from his teacher that there was a big light source in the surface world, called the sun, and that during the day, people could not light the lamp.
Thorne is a little envious of the thing called the sun, if he can bring this sun to the village, how much slime slime can be saved!
Unfortunately, everyone in the village is forbidden to go to the ground, and it is said that the ground contains ominous information, and those villagers who come back from the ground are often seriously injured, and basically come back by supporting each other, and die soon after seeing the last of their families.
He didn't understand a little, since the ground contained ominous, and since going to the ground would kill people, why would the Great Elder still ask the people in the village to go to the ground? And, why do so many people sign up every time?
He asked his parents, but every time they asked, they just laughed and told him that he wouldn't know until he was older.
What is the secret that needs to be known when he grows up?
