Chapter 69: The Underground Cavern
King Slime, who had severely shrunk in size, was naturally no match for Yu Zhao and Pei Hengwu.
Although Pei Hengwu's fighting spirit has now consumed most of it, he can still tear through the tough skin of King Slime.
Each time the epidermis is torn apart, it means that King Slime has an extra spot on his body that temporarily flows out of the mucus, and his size continues to shrink.
In the end, under Pei Hengwu's perseverance in "releasing water", its last one had turned into three balls of luminous colloids the size of a fist.
The light curtain pops up a prompt in time: "King Slime's gel, material, function is unknown." ”
This ball of colloids is warm and moist in the hand, and it also has a little elasticity and toughness, Pei Hengwu threw this ball of colloid to the ground, and even bounced up, like a children's ball.
Pei Hengwu took one ball casually, and the remaining two balls of colloidal body were thrown to Yu Zhao.
Facing Pei Hengwu, Yu Zhao was too lazy to be polite, and casually put this gel into the backpack, since it is a light curtain that can be popped up and introduced, it must be a good thing.
"I found this too." Pei Hengwu handed the gray silk thread he found to Yu Zhao, "It seems to be a bit like spider silk." ”
Yu Zhao pulled it tentatively, this inconspicuous small piece of silk thread has amazing toughness and high ductility, about the length of the index finger can be at least stretched into the length of a forearm, and there is a little stickiness in the hand, a bit like a little solid glue.
Yu Zhao observed it, but found nothing, approached with a torch, but found that the silk thread was burning rapidly, and after a while, it was gone.
At this time, his face looked a little better.
This silk thread is a high-quality material at first glance, and it is obviously produced by living organisms, so it is very likely to be used as a weapon or a trap, if you can't find a corresponding restraint method, then Yu Zhao will have to think about whether to save Zheng Xuan.
Don't Zheng Xuan didn't save it, and then get in by yourself.
Pei Hengwu took advantage of Yu Zhao's efforts to test the silk thread, and also tried to test the flammability of the slime slime, and also discovered the New World.
He simply urged the fighting spirit directly on the spot, dug up a big tree little by little, then took a part of the stump, dug up several simple bottles with his bare hands, and stored the collected slime inside.
The only downside is that the lid of this bottle is very rough in workmanship, which is equivalent to a disposable, and once pulled out, it can never be stuffed back.
Fortunately, Yu Zhao and the others didn't plan to use this wooden bottle for a long time, just to deal with it temporarily, and hurriedly collected some wooden sticks on the ground to use as materials for torches, and the two of them walked towards the depths of the cave with torches one after the other.
"You say, what about Tao Yifei?" Pei Hengwu held the torch and asked while looking at the clues that might appear under his feet.
In this battle, there was a lot of movement, especially the few jumps of King Slime, like a small earthquake, and it was impossible for the people nearby not to find out.
That can only mean that Tao Yifei is trapped in a certain place, or far away from them.
"Maybe it's underground." Yu Zhao said casually.
Of course, both men knew that there was one last case, and the worst case scenario - she died.
Whether it was at the hands of the Sunchaser streamer or at the hands of monsters, it was not good news for the Changfeng team.
The two men wisely did not pursue the issue further, and began to exchange information with each other about what they knew.
It's just that Yu Zhao and Pei Hengwu are just newcomers and have not made any breakthrough discoveries.
As the two of them went deeper into the cave, there was indeed a new discovery, and a shallow mark appeared on the ground, as if something had been dragged into the depths of the cave.
Yu Zhao didn't think that this inconspicuous-looking cave went all the way down, and the two of them actually walked in this cave for about ten minutes and still couldn't see the end.
These ten minutes or so are also the result of his silent heartbeat estimation.
Before I knew it, some shimmering mosses and ferns began to appear on the rock walls deep in the cave, emitting a cold light in the cave.
It didn't seem to be as dark as Yu Zhao had imagined.
After walking for about a few minutes, the two men stopped at a three-way intersection with torches.
The traces were broken here, and the three forks were all rough stony ground, and there were no traces to be seen at all.
The one on the left is slightly upward, Yu Zhao took the torch and put it at the entrance of the cave and tried it, after a few seconds, the flame of the torch trembled, there was wind, the one in the middle had no wind, and the one on the right was also windy.
If there is wind, it means that at least it is not a dead end, but which one to choose?
Of course, Yu Zhao can't act separately at this time, and he can also meet him, as long as he chooses the wrong direction, not to mention the question of whether he can save Zheng Xuan, but they may be lost in the ground, and then starve to death or die in the monster pile.
Even worse, they may not have completed the live broadcast task and were forcibly increased by the company or simply obliterated!
For the sake of Zheng Xuan, whose life and death are unknown, is it necessary?
No matter what Yu Zhao thought, Pei Hengwu retreated anyway.
He did not hesitate to risk his life to help Zheng Xuan break off, he did everything he could and should do, and now this time it is no longer his responsibility.
After the big battle just now, the state of the two of them was not particularly good, and if they went inside, they would be inexplicably gambling with their lives.
What's more, Zheng Xuan may be a dead person now, and if he works hard to find Zheng Xuan's body, it will be a lot of fun.
Thinking of this, by the faint light of the torch, he quickly glanced at Yu Zhao, the flames were uncertain, and Yu Zhao's face was also uncertain.
Yu Zhao is hesitating, Pei Hengwu's thoughts are actually his thoughts, but he wants to think more far-the world of this live broadcast seems to be very big, and there seems to be another layer underground, according to the company's urine, what will it do?
He tried to think about this problem from the company's point of view, and finally made up his mind, took a deep breath, reorganized his thoughts, and said to Pei Hengwu: "Go to the right." ”
Pei Hengwu didn't refute directly, but frowned and said, "Reason." ”
When the rest of the team was there, of course he would choose to agree with Yu Zhao's proposal, but at the moment there were only two people, no one else, and he wanted to get more information.
"First of all, this cave already hints at the underground world, and at the same time, we haven't met Tao Yifei until now, and we have reason that she is now underground.
Secondly, the silk thread proves that this unknown enemy is very likely to be spider creatures, generally speaking, they will not choose to kill the prey in the first place, but will choose to anesthetize the prey as a reserve food, Zheng Xuan still has a chance to save. ”
Yu Zhao finished speaking in one breath, paused, looked at the dark passage, and sighed, "When you encounter this situation, you always hope that your teammates will come to save you, right?" ”
Pei Hengwu was silent, and silence sometimes did not mean acquiescence.
Yu Zhao pondered for a moment, and only said two words to Pei Hengwu, "Believe me." ”
He knew that it was almost impossible to convince Pei Hengwu theoretically, so he could only choose this way that seemed quite unreasonable.
Pei Hengwu glanced at Yu Zhao deeply, the previous experiences flashed quickly in his mind like a marquee, "Just this time, if that gel is useful, I'll ask for another one." ”
Yu Zhao agreed, it didn't matter what he wanted at this time, it was just a saying that he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.
"Then why go to the right?"
"Feeling." Yu Zhao's answer was extraordinarily confident, and his intuition strengthened with the lucky attribute, and he felt that it was unlikely that there would be a big problem.
