The small hole was black and smelly. As Quiet Treasure's body slid down the passage in the small hole, she felt the sound of countless wings flapping.

It was as if many small birds were scrambling past her.

Some of the birds even hit her in the face, making her scream again.

I don't know how long it took to slip, but when she hit something soft hard, her body finally stopped.

The stunned Quiet Treasure was already in a frightened transition at this moment, instinctively curled up in a ball with her head protected, and sat on the ground to let the birds flying around keep hitting her body.

After a few minutes or so, the surroundings gradually quieted down, and the birds that had scattered the quiet treasures had finally flown away.

"Jingbao! Don't be afraid, it's me. Just as Quiet Bao was holding her head and sitting on the ground trembling and not daring to move, a familiar boy's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"You are? Hanyu! Is it really you? Great, what kind of birds were those just now? I'm scared to death. When Jing Bao suddenly raised his head and saw the familiar face of the boy in front of him, he said in surprise.

"It's me. If you hadn't bumped me, I don't know when I'd wake up. Those were supposed to be bats just now, and if you look at the stinky droppings on the ground, they belong to bats. Xiang Hanyu turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone, first shining his face to let Quiet Bao see himself clearly, and then shining on the black pile of things on the ground nearby.

"It's a bat, it's disgusting. By the way, Hanyu, what the hell happened before, how did we get here? Jing Bao looked at the feces on the ground with some disgust, and asked with a frown.

"I don't know what's going on, maybe it's a landslide, or maybe the big brother who is walking in the front has touched a certain mechanism." Shang Yusheng held his mobile phone and looked around, and replied with some uncertainty.

"Collapse? Are we not buried in the mountain? Can we still get out then? Quiet Bao said as he looked around worriedly.

"If it is a landslide, it will definitely attract the attention of other tourists, and as long as someone calls the police in time, we still have a chance to be rescued. But if it's a mechanism, it's troublesome, and if we can't crack it, we'll be trapped in it forever. Xiang Hanyu stood up and continued to look around with his phone.

"Organs? How can this tourist attraction have a mechanism? Jing Bao asked suspiciously, and also stood up and cautiously followed behind Xiang Yutian and asked.

"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's follow the direction where the bat flew out just now, we should be able to get out." You followed me closely, and we talked as we went. By the way, haven't you heard of the legend of the Phoenix Cry Grottoes? If the Phoenix Cry Grottoes were here, it wouldn't be surprising that there were mechanisms. Xiang Hanyu stopped suddenly as he walked, looked at the two cave entrances that appeared in front of him with his mobile phone, thought for a moment, chose the cave entrance on the right, and said as he walked.

"Phoenix Cry Grotto? Do you also believe that there is a Phoenix Cry Grotto? I read an old man's travelogue, saying that the Fengqi Grottoes are looking for Dragon Peak, so I suggested that Xiangni and Feifei come here to play. Quiet Bao asked with a look of surprise.

"I've read the travelogue you mentioned. However, that travelogue alone was not enough to convince me of the existence of the Phoenix Cry Grottoes. The reason why I'm a little convinced now is because my eldest brother accidentally bought a mutilated old map at an antique market last month. According to the above textual record, it is a bit like a schematic diagram of the Fengqi Grottoes. It's just that there are too many damages in this map, and it is no longer possible to accurately locate the location of the Fengqi Grottoes. I only know that it is near Xunlong Peak. So the four of us took advantage of the summer vacation to come here to try to find it. In fact, there is not much hope, it is just entertainment. I didn't expect the grotto to be found, but I fell into such a disgusting cave. Xiang Hanyu said with a wry smile.

"This Phoenix Cry Grotto is a legend thousands of years ago, and it is estimated that it is also a rumor, how can there be any magical spells or elixirs of immortality in this world. The map you have is probably also forged by later generations, right? Haha...... "Quiet Bao likes these topics with a bit of mystery the most, and when he heard Hanyu mention them, he suddenly became interested, and he forgot that he was scared for a while, and said with a laugh.

"In this day and age, the antique market is basically full of fakes and deceptions, and it is more difficult to buy a treasure map from ancient times than to win the lottery jackpot. Thousands of years ago, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. In addition, the current antique and old-fashioned technology has been very developed, and the imitation of antiques can almost be fake, so if you want to buy real antiques, it is pure fantasy. Besides, if it's a real antique, how can poor students like us afford it? Ha ha. Xiang Hanyu also laughed self-deprecatingly.

"By the way, Hanyu, why do you turn right every time you encounter a three-way intersection, not to the left, and you have never been here, how do you feel like you know the road?" As he walked, Quiet Bao asked with some curiosity.

"That's because the map I just mentioned to you has a written record that the surrounding area of the Fengqi Grotto is surrounded by a labyrinth cave. Once you enter the labyrinth cave, you can't walk around, and if you choose to go right at the first three-way junction, you have to keep going right to get out of the maze and vice versa. Otherwise, you will lose your way and be trapped in the maze forever. Although this may not be the labyrinthine cave on the outskirts of the Phoenix Cry Grottoes, I decided to do it just to be on the safe side. Explained to Hanyu.

"Then why did you choose to go to the right instead of the left?" When Quiet Takami came to a three-way intersection, Xiang Hanyu chose to the right again and asked puzzled.

"That's because I found that the cave bats on the right have a lot more droppings, which means that the bats also choose to go to the right. Generally, the passage that bats take to fly out to forage for food must be able to lead to the outside, so I chose to go to the right. Xiang Hanyu said, pointing to bat droppings on the ground.

"You are so careful, I am glad to have met you, otherwise I would not have been able to get out of this black cave, but I would have been scared to death. Even if I dared to walk, I would only walk around like a headless fly, and I would definitely be trapped inside. Quiet Bao said with palpitations.

"Jiren has his own natural appearance, a kind and beautiful girl like you, God will definitely arrange the best flower messenger for you, such as me. And no matter how good the flower messenger is, you also need to be accompanied by lucky angels, such as you. Right? In order to alleviate Quiet Bao's fear, Xiang Hanyu deliberately teased.

"I ...... How can it be...... By the way, what else does that mysterious and ancient map say? Although Quiet Bao was very happy to praise Hanyu for her beauty and kindness, after all, she was a girl who was just starting to fall in love, and shyness was their instinctive reaction, so Quiet Bao deliberately diverted the topic with a little blushing and asked about the map.

"It was also mentioned above that there is a tower on the periphery of the Fengqi Grottoes, and in order to successfully enter the Fengwai Grottoes, you must first crack the mechanism in the tower. And if you want to crack the mechanism in the tower, you must first find a book called "Love of Life and Death", but where that book is, there is no record. Xiang Hanyu said as he reminisced.

"What! The book of "Love of Life and Death"! After I fell down just now, because I was afraid of the dark, I panicked for a while, scratched and touched, and accidentally opened the door of a stone house. There is also a wall lamp in the stone house, which is quite bright, and there is a very old book on the stone table, and I remember that the title of the book seems to be "Love of Life and Death". There's a skeleton next to the stone table. After listening to Xiang Hanyu's words, Quiet Bao couldn't help but shout.

Because Quiet Treasure saw the skeleton move in front of the stone house before, and fell into the bat cave when he was so frightened that he fell backwards. But before the skeleton moved, she had clearly seen the title of the book on the stone table, which was "Love of Life and Death".

"What! Are you sure you're looking at the book "Love of Life and Death"? Yes! That's great! That means that we have really found the periphery of the Fengqi Grottoes. Xiang Hanyu turned around excitedly, stared into Quiet Bao's eyes, and asked eagerly.

When he saw Quiet Po nodding affirmatively, Xiang Hanyu jumped up happily.

"And do you remember where that stone house is?" Xiang Hanyu asked expectantly with his hands on both of Quiet Treasure's shoulders.

"I ...... I fell through a hole near the stone house, and then slid all the way to you. As for how long the black hole was, and where it was, I can't remember. Quiet Bao said honestly.

"It's okay, let's go back to where I met you just now, and we should be able to figure out where you slipped from. Climb back down the hole you slid down and you'll be sure you'll find the stone house you said. Xiang Hanyu said with confidence.

"Ahh Go back! I'm afraid! Why don't you find Feifei and the others first, and then go together. Quiet Bao said hesitantly.

"No, my phone is running out of battery. Didn't you say there was a wall lamp in that stone house? So we still go to the stone house first, grab the books, and then find a way to leave from the stone house. I'm sure there must be a secret passage from that stone house to get out safely. It's a hundred times better than us walking around like this. Maybe if a few of us want to get out of this Phoenix Cry Grotto alive in the future, we will have to rely on this book. Xiang Hanyu glanced at the phone screen and said decisively.

"yes, why didn't I think of it, okay, then hurry up, before your phone runs out of battery, get to that stone house and rest assured. I'm so afraid of the dark. Quiet Bao hurriedly said.

So, under the leadership of Xiang Hanyu, the two of them ran quickly along the direction they had come from before, returning the same way.

Just when the two finally returned to the place they met before, and just found the hole where Quiet Treasure slid down, the phone flashed a few times, and it was completely out of battery. Suddenly, the surroundings instantly became invisible.

What's even worse is that in the passage behind them, there are many voices of Si Suosuo, and it seems that many unknown creatures are crawling quickly towards the place where they are.

The situation has become extremely dire again......
