In places of absolute darkness, light is the only source of security.

As the flashlight ran out of power, the surroundings fell into boundless darkness and dead silence.

Although Liu Xiaojiao graduated from the regular school year, is well-trained and has strong mental ability, she has never experienced such a thing after all.

The moment the flashlight went out, she reflexively screamed, and the whole person instinctively leaned towards me.

It was dark all around, and I couldn't see my fingers, and it wasn't the first time I had encountered such a situation, and after a moment of tension, I quickly calmed down.

Then, I took out the lighter that Lao Fei had given me, turned on the switch at the end, and a faint light suddenly shone out, cutting through the darkness.

Through the bright light, I looked at Liu Xiaojiao, who was leaning on my arm tightly, and was speechless in my heart.

Women are really afraid of the dark, no matter what their identity.

When treating the old village chief just now, because there was no bandage, Liu Xiaojiao tore her clothes to make bandages, and now she is only wearing a wrap.

At this moment, the skin of the two of them is close to each other, especially her boobs squeezing on my arm, the touch is really indescribable.

But strangely, this time I didn't have any evil thoughts, I just felt embarrassed.

Liu Xiaojiao also realized that something was wrong, let go of my arm, and asked strangely, "Why do you still have a flashlight?" What is it? ”

"Lighters." I replied.

"Lighters?"

"That's right, the lighter flashlight is just a boo to increase the sales of goods. This little flashlight can't last long, and it's just a chicken rib in normal times, but now for us, it's undoubtedly a life-saving thing. I said.

After a break of more than ten minutes, we regained a lot of strength.

Lighter flashlights have a limited amount of power, and we can't afford to delay too long.

I don't know how long the rest of this passage will be.

The two of them lifted their spirits and continued to move forward.

After walking for about half an hour, I didn't even see the end of the passage, and I didn't meet Satsuki and the murderer who killed the old village chief.

"Gollum! Grunt! ”

At this time, Liu Xiaojiao and I were hungry and screaming, calculating that we hadn't eaten for a long time.

Walking in the passage takes almost as much physical effort as climbing a mountain.

"Tianyan, you see, there are trees on the mud wall with rhizomes extending down from above. In this case, it seems that we should not be far from the ground exit. Liu Xiaojiao pulled out a thumb-thick rhizome from the mud wall and said to me happily.

I nodded, but I didn't have much joy in my heart: "After walking for so long, it should be almost the end, which is expected." ”

As soon as my voice fell, Liu Xiaojiao, who was standing next to the mud wall, suddenly screamed, like a mouse seeing a cat, jumped over, and lost her voice: "Ouch! Something strange is crawling out of the mud wall! ”

"Didn't you have a lot of courage before? How did you become so timid now, what are you afraid of when you come out of the mud wall except earthworms or snakes? ”

I felt a little speechless, and walked to the place where she was standing just now to check, only to see that there was an arm-thick mud hole where Liu Xiaojiao had picked out the roots of the tree just now.

At this time, there was an object probe in the cave that slowly crawled out of it.

When it crawled out of the cave and saw its true face, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This thing is not an earthworm or a snake, but a thumb-thick, hundred-legged centipede more than ten centimeters long.

The centipede's whole body is red, and countless limbs grow under its abdomen, and it makes a subtle sound when crawling, which makes the scalp tingle when it is heard.

From the perspective of ordinary people, such a centipede is already considered big, and it is one of the five poisons in the legend, such a thumb-thick centipede is enough to poison an adult buffalo.

In fact, to distinguish whether poisons are powerful, it is not from their size, you can see it, most of them have to look at the color of their bodies, usually the brighter the color of the poison, the stronger the toxicity, of course, there are exceptions.

The centipede in front of me, in terms of size, is not much different from the little red snake parasitic in my body. But in terms of toxicity, it is still the little red snake that is powerful.

After all, he is the king of alien creatures, even if it is a Gu king cultivated by the Gu clan, he is not his opponent.

"It seems that we should really have arrived at Centipede Ridge, legend has it that Centipede Ridge has many centipedes, and it is true." I whispered to myself.

"Be careful, don't get so close." Liu Xiaojiao hid behind me, and also saw the hundred-legged centipede clearly, and reminded loudly.

By this time, the centipede had crawled out of the mud hole completely, raising its head like a snake, as if it were provoking me.

"A little poison, dare to be so arrogant!"

I was a little amused, and at the same time I swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, hungry in my belly, and I felt so fat and delicious when I saw the centipede.

In fact, although centipedes are poisonous, they are not incapable of being used as food.

There are centipedes soaked in wine, and it is a great tonic.

As the so-called medicine is divided into three parts, on the contrary, poisons can also be used in medicine.

I have a little red snake parasitism in my body, so I am naturally not afraid of this little poison.

Seeing that the centipede was provocatively not leaving, I was about to reach out and grab it, when a sharp pain suddenly came from my chest.

The little red snake, which had not moved since the injury, actually moved at this time.

In the faint light, I saw the red veins on my chest twisting and moving, and then I felt that something was about to come out of my throat.

This feeling of nausea and vomiting is impossible to get used to no matter how many times you experience it.

The little red snake came out, slowly burrowed out of my mouth, and then suddenly turned into lightning and rushed out.

When I came to my senses, I found that the centipede that had emerged from the mud wall was gone.

On the ground, the little red snake was entrenched in a ball, and in its mouth was holding a thumb-thick red centipede, swallowing slowly.

"Kick!"

There was a sound of footsteps behind me, and when I turned to look, I found that Liu Xiaojiao was retreating, looking at me with strange eyes, and her face showed a look of horror.

"You...... This...... Is that the little red snake that you said is parasitic inside you? It...... It's disgusting to get out of your mouth. Probably out of fear, her voice trembled.

"Or else? Didn't you envy me for having this ability before? How? Feeling sick now? I asked rhetorically, with a blank face.

Liu Xiaojiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, calmed down a little, and asked, "Didn't you say that it was injured in the Heavenly Secret Realm?" Why is it coming out now? ”

"I didn't summon it, although we are parasitic and host-dependent, but with its arrogant nature, it will not be controlled by me at all."

I shook my head, looked at the little red snake entrenched on the ground, and said, "It is indeed injured, you look closely at its body, the wounds on it are still there." ”

"As for why it came out suddenly, I think it's because of the stimulus from a foreign object, right? It is naturally in conflict with other poisons, and when it first encountered a group of ghost-faced crabs in the crystal cave, it also took the initiative to drill out. ”

"I want to ...... It may need to devour other poisons to heal itself, right? Liu Xiaojiao groaned, and then guessed.

"Perhaps!"

"Hiss!"

As we spoke, the little red snake had completely swallowed the centipede, and its belly was not swollen after swallowing the centipede, which was almost the size of its own size.

However, the little red snake is not a mundane thing, and what it does naturally cannot be explained by common sense.

Hiss......

The little red snake swam at my feet, and I bent down to hold it in the palm of my hand, and carefully examined the wound on its waist, and found that the wound had not fully healed.

At the beginning, it fought with the crab king, and it was almost broken in two, and such a serious injury could not be recovered in a short time.

Maybe it's because I saved its life, but it's not so repulsive to me now, at least it shouldn't be backfired.

The little red snake curled around my arm, and its little scarlet tongue swallowed and spat out, staring coldly at the mud hole that the hundred-legged centipede had crawled out of just now.

Depending on the situation, the little red snake is not going to return to my body for the time being.

Liu Xiaojiao observed from the side, and after being sure that the little red snake would not bite, she dared to approach, stared at the latter in surprise and said, "I guessed correctly, it must be unfinished and wants to devour other poisons." ”

"Shhh

As she spoke, the little red snake suddenly poked out of the snake's head like lightning and opened its bloody mouth at Liu Xiaojiao, which frightened the latter and retreated.

"Don't scare people!"

I glared at the little red snake and pouted: "You will choose the right time to appear, this place is Centipede Ridge, there are many poisonous centipedes, but ......"

Before I could finish my sentence, the little red snake suddenly spat out twice at me, and then sprang out like lightning, and the next moment I saw it burrow into the mud hole that the hundred-legged centipede had just drilled.

"How did it go?" Liu Xiaojiao was shocked.

"I should have gone hunting, but ...... I hope there won't be a centipede king here, otherwise with its current state, I'm afraid it will ......."

"You're worried about the safety of a snake......"

"No, I'm just worried about my safety, if it dies, I won't survive?"

"Why?"

"Have you heard of the same fate Gu?"

"Know a little bit, you ......"

"Yes, I am the same life as it, whether I die or it dies, the other party will not survive......" I said leisurely.

"It's crazy that you made such a pact with a snake!"

"I'm not crazy, I was surrounded by a group of ghost-faced crabs in the crystal cave, if it weren't for it, I wouldn't be alive now, and when we met again, it was already dying, and only this way can save it."

"But after all, it's just a snake, a snake's lifespan is limited, maybe it can live for ten or eight years, it's already considered a long life, if it dies by then, are you willing to die with it?"

"I'll talk about that later, but I want to make it clear to you, although I call it the Little Red Snake, it's not really a snake, and maybe it lives longer than us humans."

"But it's a snake, so why isn't it? What do you mean by that? Could it be that it has become a demon? ”

"This kind of thing can't be clear to you for a while, and I'll explain it to you when I have a chance in the future, let's go!"

"You don't care about it?"

"How? It's already in the mud, should I follow suit? Don't worry, when it's full, it will come to me. Now, if we have that mind, let's worry more about ourselves. ”

"The lighter flashlight is running low, we can't afford to delay here any longer, we have to get out of this place immediately."

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a deafening loud noise from the top of the passage.

"It's thunder, it's raining outside!" Liu Xiaojiao said: "The voice came here, it seems that we are really not far from the exit!" ”
