Chapter 396: Rapidly Dropping Temperature
The mountain road is only half a foot wide, and if you are not careful, you may stumble and fall, and below is a bottomless abyss.
Hua Lan carefully held the stone wall behind her with one hand, and her other arm was tightly clamped by Ye Shura's powerful big hand, feeling that she was about to lean forward in the air. With a strong hand, the opportunity was to suspend her feet in the air.
Hua Lan was shocked, and at this moment, Night Shura had already grabbed the rope and dragged her to the hole below.
As soon as Hua Lan approached the entrance of the cave, his hand reached over and grabbed her wrist tightly, and pushed forward hard, and Hua Lan was dragged into the hole.
Soon, Hua Lan was dragged to safety, and at this time, Night Shura and Feng Fu also carefully climbed in.
Everyone came to safety and began to walk forward in silence.
This section of the road is a bit long, and the road ahead is getting wider and wider, but it seems to be bottomless, a black hole. The light of the torch could only shine a distance of more than ten meters, and after walking for nearly half an hour, there was not much space except for a few slightly larger curves.
Looks like I'm going to rest in this cave tonight.
After walking for a while, Hua Lan had to think about these problems, so she discussed them with a few people.
"Let's rest first, replenish our strength and eat something first."
She looked at Dongchen and said, her gaze falling on Night Shura's face.
Night Shura didn't have any opinions, and stopped to find a suitable place to sit down.
"Woo...... Whining! ”
The old goblin was originally behind Hua Lan, jumping and walking, seeing Hua Lan suddenly stopped, his body jumped forward, jumped in front of her, turned to Hua Lan and shouted loudly, screaming angrily while screaming two rows of big teeth, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Hua Lan's decision.
Night Shura had already begun to bend down, he found a very dry corner, and when he saw the old goblin's abnormal reaction, he looked ahead vigilantly.
Beidou in front of him had stopped holding a torch, and everyone's expressions were a little tired.
"Dude, or do you want to go one step further, or will there be a better place ahead?"
Night Shura glanced at the old goblin who kept waving his fist to protest at Hua Lan, and said lightly and softly.
Dongchen on this side stretched out his hand to stop the old goblin and stop its sudden mania, but before his hand reached in front of the old goblin, he was glared back by its very hideous gaze. His face changed, and he subconsciously looked at Hua Lan.
The old goblin's movements never left Hua Lan's sight, and such abnormal mania made her more vigilant.
The cave is full of dangers, and there may be variables at any time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, or there will be a more comfortable place ahead, and everyone can rest." ”
After Hua Lan finished speaking, the old goblin stopped making trouble. He turned around, reached out with his long arm, hooked a stone on the top of the cave, scurried forward, rushed to the edge of Nanyue, stretched out his claws, snatched the torch from his hand, jumped forward and ran out quickly.
Nanyue reacted extremely quickly and hurriedly chased after him.
The old goblin was extremely fast, scurrying into the darkness. Soon, the torch in its hand had flashed into a tiny point of light.
Hua Lan hurriedly quickened her pace and caught up with everyone.
The old goblin was indeed keen, and everyone chased for nearly an hour, and finally saw a very large cave.
However, this cave is extraordinary, as soon as Hua Lan leaned in, she found that there were very dense stone caves of all sizes on the stone walls around the cave.
The light of the torches was a little dim, and the shadows shining on the holes of various sizes in the dense rows were surprisingly strange.
"Is this place safe?"
The spring silkworm shrank carefully, grabbed one of Hua Lan's wrists tightly with one hand, and kept floating towards those holes: "There won't be any monsters crawling out of these holes, right?" ”
"Don't worry, there won't be monsters or anything like that here, otherwise the old goblin won't bring us here."
Dongchen was very sure, he unloaded the bamboo basket from his back and began to prepare everyone's dinner.
His words calmed everyone down, and it is true that since the old goblin came to this cave, he has quietly found a stone slab to sit on it in a daze.
This is probably the best hint, this place is very safe, please rest assured.
The old goblin's laziness relaxed everyone's vigilance.
The spring silkworm put his mind at ease and began to pile up the stones around the cave, lit a fire, and prepared to barbecue meat and steamed buns.
After a while, the aroma of barbecue permeated the cave, and Hua Lan knew that the old goblin not only ate white sparrows, but also other meats.
She was very curious, so she asked Dongchen: "Why does the old goblin can't wait to come over even if he is thousands of miles away when he smells the smell of white sparrows?" ”
Dong Chenqiu shook his head and said, "The ancestor has never mentioned these things, and we don't know about the old goblin. ”
"Don't know?"
Hua Lan lowered her eyelashes, hiding the surprise in her eyes. She didn't continue to ask, but reached out and took a browned roasted bun on the fire, sandwiched a small piece of beef and began to eat it slowly in small bites.
"Regarding the matter of the old goblin, Lao Zhu is forbidden. Only a few people know about it. ”
Dongchen explained, walked to the fire and sat down, and began to have dinner with everyone.
Hua Lan's eyes swept over Ye Shura, who was leaning against an abrupt stone, his eyes half-squinted. It looked like he was very tired, chewing the roasted bun slowly one by one, and he didn't see what it tasted like, and his face looked very flat in the firelight.
Everyone had dinner and began to prepare for rest. Because there was no water source, it was difficult for everyone to wash, and the water bladder they carried was limited, so everyone found a flat place with their clothes to rest.
The things in the bamboo basket are limited, only a thin sheet can be laid on the ground, the body lies down, the body is hard and cold, and in less than the middle of the night, Hua Lan is so cold that she can't stand it and sits up.
The temperature in the cave was gradually dropping, whether it was the reason for the late night or other factors, which made her have to be cautious.
In order to prevent the sudden special environment in the cave, everyone wore thick robes, and it didn't matter if it was hot, but it wouldn't work when it was cold. This is also an important reason why everyone can resist the cold air flow when they first enter the cave.
But at this time, the temperature was too low, so low that the cracks of Hua Lan's bones were frozen.
In order to save wood, only a small fire was built in the cave. Peony and Spring Silkworm were curled up by the fire, but it was okay, but Night Shura's side was obviously starting to freeze and gradually moved closer to the fire. Looking at it again, the four masters, everyone's face showed coldness, which was forcing the cold with internal strength.
There was only a small space next to the fire, and Hua Lan leaned over before leaving, so she could only lie down with her body upright.
If the head is towards the fire, the feet are cold through the bone marrow. But if you put your feet on the side of the fire, your whole upper body will have another hour, and you will have to freeze.
Frozen, Hua Lan didn't dare to guarantee that she would be conscious, so she decisively chose to curl up and hug her knees on the side of the fire, deliberately blocking the night Shura from approaching the fire.
It's no way to sleep anymore.
