Chapter 242: Cave Secret Realm
The bee colony that followed the two was no more than a hundred, and more than half of them lost their goal due to the obstruction of branches and leaves.
After Ji Yuning landed, his figure paused slightly.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Xiaoting asked uneasily.
"It's okay, let's go!" It seems that he still overestimated himself, thinking that he could easily land with Su Xiaoting as before.
He no longer pulled Su Xiaoting, and the two ran down the mountain together.
The 'buzzing' sound was like a magic sound, which made Su Xiaoting feel a chill from her spine, even if there was no jealousy that everyone showed about it, she had always walked around these terrible species.
Several times, Su Xiaoting couldn't help but turn around to see if the poisonous bees were getting closer.
The forest is full of huge lime trees and yew trees, interspersed with man-tall branches, and the ground is covered with years of dead leaves.
As long as they put some distance between themselves and the poisonous bees, the two of them can ambush themselves and brake quietly.
When Su Xiaoting looked back again, suddenly there was a sound of branches breaking under her feet, and before she could react, she fell into the whirlpool of dead leaves.
"Whoa!" The voice came, and Ji Yuning saw that half of Su Xiaoting's body had fallen into the fallen leaves next to the big tree.
After a second of shock, he flew towards Su Xiaoting, "An Ting! ”
It's a pity, but it was a step too late, and I watched Su Xiaoting completely disappear into the collapsed leaf pit.
Ji Yuning's eyes shrank, no longer hesitated, and jumped in after him.
For a while, the branches and leaves fell, rolling in dust, and Ji Yuning fell quickly.
After a few seconds, suddenly his body loosened, and a feeling of weightlessness came, but fortunately, he quickly stepped on the soft mud.
Ji Yuning jumped to the side, avoiding the dust and fallen leaves that continued to fall.
"Are you alright?" Ji Yuning had already seen Su Xiaoting sitting on the side of the mound.
This was due to the fact that the place that had just collapsed revealed a hole the size of a football with light shining in.
"City Lord?" Su Xiaoting rubbed her eyes and looked at Ji Yuning in disbelief. She didn't expect that Ji Yuning would jump down regardless of the danger.
"Shh~" Ji Yuning stretched out a finger to his lips.
The "buzzing" sound of maggots like tarsal bones came again.
Su Xiaoting immediately froze, only staring nervously at the entrance of the cave with a pair of eyes.
I saw a few poisonous bees flying down around the pillar of light, hovering for a while without noticing any movement, and then disappeared at the entrance of the cave, and the world finally returned to quiet.
In the quiet space, two more exhalations sounded at the same time.
Ji Yuning laughed at himself, how long has he been, he hasn't been so embarrassed.
But the danger has not yet been lifted, Ji Yuning glanced around, and couldn't help but be shocked.
It's an underground cavity, there is no doubt about it, but ......
Such a scale is by no means a force of nature.
This hole is about 20 meters long, the top height is about 3 meters, the ground and the wall of the cave are quite regular, and there is a hole on each side.
"Where is this?" Su Xiaoting knew that this question was a bit silly, but she was also confused.
The roots of some large trees can be seen in the place where they fell, presumably because the roots of the trees have expanded over the years, causing the soil to gradually sink into the hollow, and the fall just now.
But this place seems to have been dug out by hand.
"I don't know, let's go over there first and see if we can find the exit." Ji Yuning looked at the collapsed mound and said.
He took out a lighting ring and placed it on his left index finger, the only high-tech product brought from the hunt.
The ring emits a bright light that shines through the hole not far away.
"Yes!" Su Xiaoting nodded, and saw that Ji Yuning's long hair, which had always been as beautiful as a snow waterfall, was stuck with a lot of grass clippings, and her heart was astringent, and she said softly:
"City Lord, thank you! I know those poisonous bees can't help you, you could have left me alone, and just jumped down like that to save me, like this...... It's so dangerous! ”
The moment she fell, the quicksand in the desert and the cave where the monsters were hidden flashed in her mind, if she had changed herself, I am afraid that she would not have jumped down without hesitation.
She was a guard, but in turn she became the one who was protected, and she dragged Ji Yuning into danger many times.
Ji Yuning shook his head, "Since I have promised you, I will naturally be responsible for your safety, not to mention, the situation is not as bad as imagined, is it?" ”
Without waiting for Su Xiaoting to answer, he pointed in the direction of the cave, "Let's go, maybe there will be unexpected gains!" ”
Su Xiaoting didn't have time to get frustrated, so she hurriedly followed.
Passing through this hole, there is a passage more than a meter wide, and the sunlight is gradually cut off behind you.
Su Xiaoting followed Ji Yuning's side step by step, although she was still a little apprehensive, she overcame the fear deep underground.
Out of the passage, the space suddenly became extremely open.
“…… Oh, my God! Su Xiaoting sighed unconsciously.
It was an underground cavern the size of a basketball court, and the light of the ring blended into a green glow.
The two of them tried to find the source of the fluorescence, and found that the soil above the cave resembled a green galaxy containing stars, shining with countless tiny bright lights, and merging into a magnificent nebula in the hollow.
What's even more amazing is that from the top of the cavity extend the roots of many large trees, which at first glance seem to be suspended in the air.
The green nebula shone ethereally, especially on the cave walls and tree roots.
"Am I dreaming?" Is this a mirage, or is there really a lair of elves? Such a beautiful scenery is that Su Xiaoting, who has experienced the holographic tourism project of the United States, can't help but be fascinated.
The man beside him laughed, and the nebula reflected his face even whiter, and his long hair showed an unreal light emerald color, like an elf from another world.
Su Xiaoting was even more dizzy, it turned out that he could look so good when he smiled, and he even had a hint of childishness.
"I can't imagine that there is such a magnificent scene underground."
Ji Yuning glanced at the hollow, as he had speculated, there were already more than a dozen mounds of different sizes, but none of them showed sunlight.
"This should be an artificial cave dug a long time ago, and it must have been abandoned for a long time!"
He walked to the root of a tree four or five meters long, as huge as a chandelier in the middle hall of the hotel, and looked up.
"The big tree on the top of the cave for a long time, gradually increasing the annual rings and extending downward, the stars shifting, and finally breaking through the top of the cave and extending into the current state. Those mounds should be the same as the one we fell, just a testimony of the years! ”
Su Xiaoting showed an expression of sudden realization, "But, why dig such a big cave?" ”
Ji Yuning sighed lightly, "I also want to know if ......" is what he thinks. "Want to go inside?"
"Yes!" After listening to Ji Yuning's explanation, Su Xiaoting put her mind at ease and became a little curious.
Ji Yuning had just taken two steps when he suddenly stumbled and knelt on one knee.
