To Yu Zhao's surprise, the Changfeng team's request to take a look at the digging worm was actually agreed to by the Great Elder, and there were no difficulties at all as he imagined.

Shouldn't the digging bugs be the most important thing in this village, and how easy it is to get permission?

This progress was pushed too fast, making Yu Zhao and them feel a little unreal.

The next day, Toba personally brought food over, saying that after eating, he could take Yu Zhao and them to meet the digging insects.

The food in the village doesn't seem to be very varied, yesterday Yu Zhao and they got a blue-gray dough cake, and this breakfast is the same dough cake, there are no side dishes, only a clay pot of drinking water.

I don't know what kind of ingredients this dough is made of, but it was already a little cold when Toba brought it.

To their surprise, there was another way to eat this bread.

Toba poured some water on the bread, lit a brazier in the room, and baked it on it, and a strange aroma emanated from the bread, arousing the appetite of the people.

Yu Zhao and the others also drew a scoop according to the gourd, and made themselves a special breakfast of the underground village.

I have to say that this baked dough has a taste similar to sawdust's marching dry food, crispy and chewy, with a little sweetness between chewing.

Yu Zhao was chatting with Toba casually, and naturally kept the two flatbreads on the table as his own.

The old man Pei Hengwu was stunned when he saw Yu Zhao's movements, and then he also reacted, shouting loudly that Zheng Xuan wanted to lose weight, and unceremoniously put the two remaining two pieces of dough in front of her in front of him, so angry that Zheng Xuan rolled his eyes at him.

"If you don't have enough to eat, I'll have someone take it." Toba looked at Yu Zhao's behavior suspiciously, a little confused, could they still grab something to eat at the dinner table?

"No, no, no, it's just the way we get along." Yu Zhao was not embarrassed to tell the truth, and rejected Toba's kindness.

But what he thought to himself was: "Won't these few pieces of bread save some money to buy dry rations for the march?" ”

Last time, all his points were used to upgrade his skills, and without points to replenish, there were not many supplies on his body.

Besides, with such a great taste of bread, the marching dry food produced by this company can be eaten by whoever likes it.

Toba could only regard this behavior as a habit of these travelers, shrugged his shoulders, and did not continue to ask.

After breakfast, he took Yu Zhao and them to pick a passage and left the village.

Yu Zhao also subconsciously thought that this digging insect was raised in the village, and after thinking about it, he smiled dumbly, the size of the digging insect that can dig such a big hole must be not small.

If such a large size is placed in a village, it is estimated that the slightest movement will be a disaster for the village, no less than a small earthquake.

And the result of a small earthquake in the underground world makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.

As long as the digging insects toss once a month, this time it is enough for all the villagers in Panshi Village to work for more than half a month.

Toba took Yu Zhao and walked in the passage, and it took them nearly an hour to walk before they came to a cave that looked different.

Yu Zhao looked around, but found that the passage here was smoother than he had seen before, and the plants on the stone walls were more sparse, and it looked like they had not grown for a long time.

"This is the resting place for the burrowers." Instead of continuing into the passage, Toba pushed away the inconspicuous rocks on the side.

Only then did Yu Zhao discover that there was actually a hole hidden behind this rock.

Toba held the torch, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It has been more grumpy lately, so it's best not to disturb it, it doesn't pose much of a threat, and only eats metal ore." ”

Seeing that Yu Zhao and the three of them were all nodding, he took the lead in drilling into the hole.

At this time, Yu Zhao could already feel the difference, if the previous cave passage gave him a five-star experience, then this one now belongs to the level of a rural dry toilet.

The passage was extremely narrow, and it could only accommodate a person crawling forward, and it was extremely damp, and from time to time cool droplets of water dripped and rattled on the torch that he barely held.

I don't know what material the ground is, it's very slippery, and sometimes I feel like I'm slippery when I lie on it, and the speed of progress is extremely slow.

Fortunately, this distance was not far, and Yu Zhao and the others only climbed for less than three minutes.

When Yu Zhao climbed out of this "dog hole" with difficulty, he found that they were on the ground of a huge cave at this time.

Unlike the previous passage, this time, he couldn't see the top of this place as far as his eyes could see!

The bright torches could only barely illuminate the surrounding environment, but before the firelight could extend far, it was swallowed up silently by the darkness, and even Pei Hengwu, who had the best eyesight in the team, could hardly see how big this cave was.

"Come on, it's nearby." Carrying the torch, Toba looked around and walked in one direction.

After another short walk, Toba brought them to a rock wall and stopped.

"Still going to drill holes?" Zheng Xuan frowned, looked embarrassed, and asked.

Fang Cai's experience of drilling the dog hole made her remember it vividly, and seeing that Toba had come to a stone wall again, she subconsciously thought that he was going to drill another hole.

But this time, Toba shook his head, gently patted the "stone wall" behind him, and said to everyone: "No, it has arrived." ”

Yu Zhao subconsciously raised his head and held the torch high, wanting to see the top of the stone wall clearly, but he only saw endless darkness.

The burrower was out of his sight?

"So big?" Pei Hengwu frowned, according to its current size, the passage it had walked through before could not be accommodated.

"About a year ago, it went into hibernation and came here to sleep." Toba looked at the digging insect and said, "Actually, it's not that big, but it has this thick rock shell now. ”

"More than a year ago?" Yu Zhao frowned, this burrowing worm's sleep time was a little longer than expected.

"In fact, we're all waiting for it to wake up." Tuba looked up at the digger and muttered.

"Why?" Pei Hengwu felt strange in his tone.

"Don't you have doubts?" Toba smiled helplessly, his face looked extremely bitter in the light of the fire,

"We can't hold on anymore!"

At this moment, all three of them had a creepy feeling at the same time.

How is it possible that a huge village will be thought to be untenable by one of its own people?

Toba, a strong and capable man, actually showed a rare hesitation at this time, "In fact, the Great Elder and I are not optimistic that you can help us solve this crisis. ”

Yu Zhao nodded in understanding.

If, as Toba said, there is already an existential crisis in the village, who would gamble their lives on a group of people passing by?

"If you can, I hope you'll be able to take Thorne away, if possible." Toba looked at Yu Zhao.

The three anchors glanced at each other and shook their heads.

Even if they are willing to accept Thorne, once they leave this live broadcast, it is very likely that they will not be able to come back next time.

In the end, it was Thorne who was hurt by their departure.

Although they knew that once they nodded and agreed, it was estimated that Tuoba or the Great Elder would be able to give quite a generous reward, but the choices of the three were surprisingly consistent.

Toba's eyes dimmed a little, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "I know, I know ......"

His stature was a little shorter, and it was hard to imagine that the depressed person in front of him was the same person as the tough guy when they first met.

"Thorne, who are you?"

Yu Zhao was a little curious, according to Thorne's performance, he didn't look like Toba's son.

Tuoba glanced at Yu Zhao deeply, "Because he has a fate with you." ”

Pei Hengwu and Zheng Xuan frowned at the same time, what is this answer?

Fate?

Isn't that too ethereal?

Only Yu Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and only he believed in fate, and with his experience, he felt more and more the so-called fate, as if it was a certain number in the dark.

He was the only one who gave serious consideration to Toba's request, and then replied with the utmost seriousness: "We can't guarantee success, but we'll do our best." ”

He repeated what he had said before the Great Elder, but this time, it was not a negotiation, but a promise between men.

Tuba's conversation was definitely not instructed by the Great Elder, he secretly told Yu Zhao about them.

"You're so unconfident?" Pei Hengwu couldn't help but ask.

Toba didn't speak, just stripped his upper body naked and turned around slowly.

Under the reflection of the firelight, the three anchors gasped in unison.
