As soon as I entered the cave, I immediately blocked the entrance of the cave with a corpse that I had prepared in advance, but at this time I could only hope that the corpse would be of some use. After doing this, we couldn't care about anything else and started to crawl deeper.

It was difficult to move in the large stone cave with a dustpan, and it was difficult to stand and turn, so I wanted to crawl forward, but in that case, we would not be able to take care of the two tigers. In the end, the Taoist priest thought of a way, he lay down first, and then asked me to help the second tiger on his back and fix it with a rope, which solved the problem.

Because of the fear that there will be fog behind us to catch up, we have used the strength to eat, this stone cave does not know how it was formed, it looks like the python cave in Africa underground, I don't know where it leads, and the four walls of the stone cave are not smooth, there are many raised stone ridges, very sharp, but at this time, in order to escape, we can't care about this much, let the body be drawn out of a bloody hole, desperately crawl forward.

At first, the cave stretched gently, and in the panic we didn't know how far we had climbed, and finally when our desperate strength to escape was exhausted, the cave began to turn corners, bends and turns, and then climbed up sharply.

When we see this, we rejoice in our hearts, and if we go up, it means that we are close to the ground, and as long as we try to keep crawling, there will always be a time to go out.

When we got here, the Taoist priest and I were both relieved, because there was no gray mist chasing after us, and we didn't know if it was the corpse blocking the entrance of the cave that played a role, or if we crawled far enough away to shake off the gray mist? Either way, it doesn't matter to us anymore, the most important thing now is to get out of the ground and go back to the surface, and stay in this dark and claustrophobic environment, I always have a very depressed sense of unease.

The stone path up is not easy to walk, because the slope is very steep, almost 60 degrees of inclination, it is easy to slide down, we have to use the surrounding stone ridges as support points to maintain our shape, but in this way, the chance of the limbs coming into contact with the stone ridges is greatly increased, and the probability of being scratched is also increased.

After crawling like this painfully for more than half an hour, the texture of the stratum changed from stony to earthy, and we finally did not have to continue to suffer from flesh and skin, but this does not mean that the road ahead has become easier, on the contrary, we have climbed extremely hard in the back section, and it is more dangerous. The loose soil replaced the stones, and the mud scattered from time to time in the crawling process, rubbing our heads, and the clothes were full of fine mud, which was very uncomfortable, and there was a danger of being buried alive at any time.

We climbed very cautiously, and our speed naturally slowed down, deep underground, we no longer had any idea of the position, and we didn't know how far from the ground, but since the tunnel had turned into dirt, it must not be far from the ground.

At this point, I couldn't think of anything else that could threaten us except for the sudden collapse of the soil and burying us alive, and my spirit couldn't help but relax, and after being in the stratum for a long time, my consciousness became chaotic, and I had an urge to stop and rest. I shook my head, and in order to refresh myself, I talked to the Taoist priest while climbing, and of course, what we said was basically about the Hell Tree, about Yeling.

Compared to me, the Taoist priest has a much stronger ability to accept these strange things than me, and his vision is also different. After chatting for a while, I suddenly thought of a question that I had to face later, and couldn't help but ask him: "Hey, I said, how can we get out when it gets to the ground?" ”

This is the most practical problem we are about to face, the strangeness and mystery of Yeling can be glimpsed through the Hell Tree, although we escaped from the sinkhole, but in the end we still have to face Yeling head-on, whether we can get out or not, it is still two words, and the fog that forced us into Yeling is still a huge shadow in my heart.

The Taoist priest didn't think about it so much, he was about to drive the sinkhole crazy before, and he only thought about escaping from the sinkhole in his mind, how could he think about it so much. At this time, after I reminded him of this, he immediately came back to his senses, but he was still not too worried, and reassured me that as long as he could go up to the ground, he would have a way to leave.

He said this with great confidence, and I couldn't help but be a little curious, and hurriedly asked him what he could do. The Taoist priest didn't want to say it now, saying that it had to be kept secret, but he was annoyed by my questioning, so he didn't have so many scruples, "If you want the Taoist to say, you guy is sometimes very smart, but sometimes, his brain is always not open." What do you think, what did we see outside Yeling? ”

The Taoist priest's tone was very mysterious, which made me slightly stunned. Isn't it just the traces left by grandma? Wait a minute... traces, I suddenly thought of the key to this, and asked in exclamation: "You mean, those thousand-legged centipede Gu?" ”

"Hehe, it's not too stupid," the Taoist priest laughed, and then said, "That's right, it's those millipede centipedes." At that time, you also confirmed that it was the Gu raised by your grandmother, but now it seems that your speculation at that time was problematic. ”

"Questions? What's the problem? "I don't understand, I know that the Taoist priest said that the speculation refers to the fact that after we saw the direction of the Gu worm at that time, we judged that it was a distress signal sent by my grandmother, and her old man should be in trouble and couldn't get out, what could be the problem?

The Taoist priest stopped, turned his head and shone a flashlight on me, in the dark tunnel, the flashlight was very dazzling, I was illuminated by him and couldn't open my eyes, and my heart was suddenly unhappy, and scolded: "What the hell are you doing, you are full, what are you doing according to Lao Tzu's eyes?" ”

"Hehe, don't do anything, it's just that this road is too quiet, and Dao Ye feels a little strange." He smiled obscenely, removed the flashlight from my eyes, and then went to shine on the third child behind me, and said while continuing the question just now: "What Dao Ye said is problematic, it means that your speculation at that time was wrong, and your third uncle we met should be true, Dao Ye has spiritual sense, and it is impossible to admit mistakes." In other words, your grandmother did have a stalemate with the gangsters in the ancestral hall of the village, and as for those centipedes, they were indeed put by your grandmother, but they were not used to call for help, but to show the way. ”

"Ahh How do you know this? I looked at the Taoist priest suspiciously, how could this guy know so much? But as soon as I saw the face of the Taoist priest, I was shocked, I saw that this guy's face was extremely unsightly, and his eyes were staring at me deadly, no, no, that angle should be behind the third child.

"Don't look back!" The Taoist priest's expression and reaction made me subconsciously want to look back, but I was stopped by him the moment I turned my head.
