When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ye Mu in great surprise, and no one understood why Ye Mu would suddenly send the cook back to that terrible village.

Lu Xin couldn't help but ask, "How can you put it back and live with those monsters?" ”

Ye Mu turned his head to look at Lu Xin, and said: "You haven't become like this, you don't understand, they eat and drink well every day, they don't have to travel long distances in the dangerous forest, they don't have to be ready to face death at any time, for them, living in the village is the happiest thing." ”

"Then you see what they eat and drink, it's all disgusting!" Lu Xin couldn't agree with the answer given by Ye Mu.

"That's what you think is disgusting." Ye Mu sighed and continued: "Those things are human delicacy to him, and from a certain point of view, they are no longer human, just like humans can't understand that shells like feces, you can't force human aesthetics and likes and dislikes to demand them. ”

Dai Qing understood what Ye Mu meant, and said: "Just like the ancients said, Zi is not a fish, and Anzhi is a fish? We think they're miserable, but they're actually happy themselves. ”

Lu Xin was still unwilling to say: "But he is a human being, he was originally the same as us!"

Ye Mu was confronted by Lu Xin one after another, and he was also a little impatient in his heart: "Their bodies and even their minds are already different from ordinary people, they have their own ideas, we have our ideas, why do you say that your thoughts must be right?" If you eat the fruit and I don't let you go back to the village, then you should hate me!" Do you understand?"

Lu Xin stared at Ye Mu's eyes and asked seriously, "Then if Dai Qing eats the fruit, will you let her go back to the village?"

Lu Xin's question was like a hammer hitting Ye Mu's chest, Ye Mu's body shook, and after half a ring, he replied in a low voice: "No." ”

How could he let Dai Qing become such a monster, how could he let Dai Qing live that kind of life like a wild man eating and waiting for death.

"Then why do you treat Uncle Cook differently?" Lu Xin accused.

Ye Mu snorted coldly and stopped talking, he didn't want to argue with people about these meaningless things.

This Japanese uncle just met him in Pingshui, and he didn't have much affection, how could he be compared with Dai Qing? He is not a saint himself, and he is not capable of doing everything.

Liu Wen glanced at Lu Xin and sneered, "You have the ability to take care of him?" Or do you want to exert the spirit of unity and friendship and let Ye Mu and Qin Aowu help take care of him? ”

Lu Xin was choked by Liu Wen and couldn't speak, but her eyes were still staring at Ye Mu.

Seeing that Ye Mu didn't mean to ignore Lu Xin, Dai Qing said to Lu Xin: "Sister Lu Xin, if one day, you need to sacrifice yourself to save a person who meets in Pingshui, will you sacrifice yourself?" ”

Lu Xin turned to look at Dai Qing, her eyes were firm, and she replied categorically: "I will!" ”

"Heh..."Liu Wen sneered when she heard this: "What a good person." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere in the team suddenly became awkward, Qin Aowu shook his head helplessly, he lit the wooden stick in his hand and distributed it to everyone, and said softly: "Let's take the chef into the cave first, if you can find a way to recover, restore him, if you really can't let him go." ”

Ye Mu nodded slightly, and Lu Xin stopped talking, this is the only way right now.

As soon as the chef heard the results of the discussion, he was immediately unhappy, and kept making a sound of 'mmmmmmmm', and writhed wildly in protest.

These people who eat the fruit have a stubbornness in their bones, and no matter how many people coerce and lure, the chef has no intention of compromising at all.

But his protests had little real effect.

Everyone decided to leave the cook alone in the cave for the time being, and after Ye Mu fed him some food, he took everyone into the depths of the cave.

The cave is pitch black, and the wind is swishing, which makes people feel creepy.

At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, and only then did it pass people, and it was dozens of steps back, and it suddenly became clear.

The rocks and dirt around it were all pale red, and the further you went, the more bright red the soil became, and when you got there, the entire passage turned a bloody scarlet, and occasionally one or two turtles crawled out of the depths of the cave.

"Do you smell the fruit?" Ye Mu sniffled, now he was quite sensitive to the smell of fruit.

Qin Aowu also closed his eyes and sniffed carefully, and nodded after a moment: "It does have this smell." ”

After walking a little further, I faintly heard the sound of dripping water. Milky white stalactites appeared on all sides, and water droplets slid down the stalactites and dripped to the ground.

'Tick'

'Tick..

Ye Mu held the torch and shone it above his head, he reached out and dipped a drop of liquid that slipped from the stalactite, put it in front of his eyes and observed it for a while, his face suddenly became ugly: "It's not water, it looks a bit like juice... Don't put this liquid in your mouth. ”

The cave suddenly became empty and open, except for the white stalactites, the cave was scarlet, and even the feet were covered with red viscous liquid.

Ye Mu held the torch with a solemn expression, he felt that this place seemed to be more terrifying than he imagined, and a feeling of palpitations floated from his heart.

Directly in front of them, there was a red rock doorway more than two people wide, and the cold wind in the cave blew from this doorway.

Ye Mu lit the torches, all at the front, and he stepped on the viscous red liquid, carefully poking his head out of the door.

What he saw made him stand on the spot!

"What kind of monster is this!" Lu Xin, who was following Ye Mu, exclaimed.

Behind the doorway, there is a huge space that cannot be seen, the bright red walls on all sides are covered with viscous red slurry, and the cold wind blowing in all directions makes a strange sound like a ghost crying wolf in the cave.

In the middle of this huge space, kneeling sat the corpse of a terrifying giant, the corpse was not a single wisp, shriveled and thin, but its body stood up to the sky, the size of a small mountain.

"It's... This maybe... This may be the origin of this strange mountain. Ye Mu looked up at the giant corpse dumbfounded: "This red liquid is his blood..."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, who would have thought that there would be such a terrifying monster corpse inside this mountain.

The huge monster didn't know how long he had been dead, his limbs were firmly bound by jet-black chains, his body was pierced by countless steel spikes, and the blood in his body continued to flow down the steel thorns.

Qin Aowu looked at the monster in front of him suspiciously, and said, "He's still bleeding?" Did you just die? ”

Ye Mu shook his head: "I don't know how long this weird mountain has existed, and I don't know how long this monster has been nailed inside, this unheard of monster... It may have been dead a long time ago, or it may still be alive. ”

Between the words, the monster's shriveled and wrinkled skin was suddenly stretched out of countless large and small pitch-black holes, dense meat turtles drilled out of the holes in the monster's skin, like insects crawling out of human pores, the skin that was stretched out quickly contracted and recovered, and Ye Mu's scalp was numb when he saw the strange scene.

As soon as those meat turtles crawled out of the monster's body, they began to bite each other, and one by one the dead meat turtles fell from the monster's mountain-like body, and fell into the blood pool under the monster, and the scarlet blood pool continued to splash one after another, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

This scene frightened Lu Xin's face pale, and she stood behind Qin Aowu with a torch, trembling uncontrollably.

"These turtles... Is it a parasite on its body? Ye Mu suddenly felt a tumult in his stomach, if he remembered correctly, he had eaten this disgusting meat turtle in the village yesterday.

Ye Mu finally understood what was going on, and he muttered, "The blood of this monster has made the whole mountain full of red fruit trees, and the meat turtle lives in its body like a parasite, and every once in a while it will emerge from its pores, and then disperse to all parts of this mountain..."

Dai Qing glanced at Ye Mu and continued: "Those who drink its blood will be assimilated into monsters by it. ”

Ye Mu smacked his tongue and said, "This monster looks like it should be trapped here, it's really terrifying... The blood that flowed from his body alone changed a mountain. ”

Qin Aowu looked at everything around him vigilantly, and slowly spoke: "It's better to get out of here as soon as possible, if he doesn't die, we will be in danger." ”

Everyone nodded, no one wanted to stay in this eerie and terrifying place for a moment, if this terrifying existence was still alive, it could crush them to death with a move of their toes.

The cave was open in all directions, and there were countless passages to the outside world, but the thought that the cook was still at the entrance of the cave made everyone have to go back the way they came.
