Chapter 40: The Secret Cave in the Water

Summer Night was crying sadly, when suddenly a living creature fell at her feet, it was as thick as a human calf, glowing with a faint silver-white light, fluttering and jumping, making great movements. She was so startled that she forgot to cry.

"This fish glows." The silver-faced man's voice was a little abrupt.

Summer Night jerked her head up and saw that he wasn't looking at her, but speaking to the struggling white shadow on the ground.

"It turned out to be a fish." Thinking in her heart, Xia Ye's stomach 'growled' for a while, and she swallowed and spat involuntarily.

"Go ahead and see if there's anything you can use to make a fire." As he spoke, the silver-faced man suddenly stabbed his sword at the fish's body, picked it up, and carried it on his shoulder. As if nothing had happened, he reached out to help Summer Night up, and then walked up in front of him without hurrying.

Xia Ye knew in his heart that he had already forgiven her, and he didn't dare to follow behind him honestly.

Along the way, with this faint white light, Xia Ye looked around, trying to understand the situation the two of them were in now. On the left-hand side, the sound of the water was naturally the river that saved their lives, and on the right-hand side, there was a craggy mountain wall, which was approaching the river bank for a while, and then retreating a long way away. Summer Night could guess that they had reached the underground river, and the river passed through the cave, and as long as they followed the water, they would be able to get out. I just don't know how far this journey will be......

In order to save the fire, the silver-faced man used the silver light fish as a light, not to mention, its hazy light just enough to illuminate the road under his feet. However, slowly, the light it emitted became dimmer and dimmer, and its body no longer moved so violently, and the summer night thought that it was about to die, and like a human, it would not have the glory to die.

The silver-faced man also noticed this problem, she asked Xia Ye to hold the sword, and said, "I'll go to the river again, you stay here and don't move." ”

Xia Ye nodded, but when she just took the sword in her hand, there was a sudden cramping pain in her heart, her body was crooked, and she involuntarily fell to the side, and in the hurry, she stretched out her hand and propped herself up on the stone wall, she half-bowed and took a few deep breaths, and then she felt better.

Turning her head, she saw the silver-faced man slowly walking along the riverbank, and thought to herself that this fish must be very rare, and it would be rare to meet one. looked at the dying silver fish on the tip of the sword, and couldn't help but shake his head regretfully, thinking that it would be better not to stab it if he knew this.

At this time, her eyes followed the faint white light emitted by the fish, and she saw that her hand holding the stone wall was very dirty, black and numb, as if she had touched the overturned ink.

"Huh, what's going on?" Summer Night strangely stretched out her hand to look in front of her eyes, and found that the entire palm was black, "Oops, could it be that the poison in me extends to the palm of my hand?" Is my hand going to rot? Am I going to make a decision and cut off my hand? ”

Thinking of this, Xia Ye shuddered and slowly raised the sword, but at this time, out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the hand holding the sword had not changed at all.

"No, it's not my hand, it's the stone wall." Summer Night immediately thought of this possibility, and she put her sword in the dirty hand and carefully pouted the stone wall with her other clean hand, and sure enough, she poured a lot of black powder from the stone wall.

"Is it carbon?" The first thing that came to mind in the summer night was it, and I felt a burst of excitement in my heart, "If it's really carbon, not only will it be illuminated, but it can also be used to make a fire, and there will be something to eat." Thinking about it, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva again.

Summer Night pulled the fish on the sword to the ground, and tried to use the sword to scratch the stone wall, but there was not much hope, just thinking that it could be rubbed down, and it was better than nothing. Unexpectedly, as soon as the sword pierced into it, it was like cutting on tofu, and it was about an inch into it. She couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to herself that even if this was a sword that sharpened like clay, it wouldn't be like this.

However, at this time, she didn't bother to think about this, so she raised her sword and fell, 'brush, brush, brush', and after a while, a pile of black stones fell on the ground, she took a piece and rubbed it repeatedly in her hand, and found that its material was a little soft, and it felt more like charcoal than carbon, but the fish was completely dead, and it was pitch black in front of her, and she had to wait for the silver-faced man to come back.

At this time, she was a little excited, if these black stones were really carbon, it would be great, just as she was thinking, she saw a faint red light of a bean not far away.

"Come here, I might have found something good!" Summer Night finally couldn't help but jump up, waving her arms and shouting in the direction of the red light.

The red light immediately trembled and drifted towards her, and in a short time, the silver-faced man walked in front of her.

"What did you find?" He asked, holding up the fire fold.

Summer Night didn't have time to answer, so he snatched the fire fold from his hand and threw it into the pile of black stones.

"Hey, what are you doing? That's ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that the pile of black stones actually 'fluttered' out of the spark and began to burn, and the silver-faced man was stunned. Suddenly, he laughed out loud and said, "The fire vector stone, you actually found the fire vector stone, summer night, where did you find it." ”

Summer Night didn't expect the silver-faced man to recognize this kind of stone, and hurriedly pointed to the stone wall.

"Great, we need to be more prepared, who knows if there is still one ahead, and I don't know how long the road will be." The silver-faced man said as he swung his sword and slashed more fire-medium stones from the stone wall.

Now they had a fire, and they lit a bonfire, washed the silverfish, and roasted it. This fish lives in the cold underground river, and the fat layer on its body is very thick, and when it is roasted on the fire, it is so fragrant that the nose is almost off.

When they had eaten their fill, they went to the river to fetch water to quench their thirst, and the two of them folded their clothes and lay down by the fire, and after a short time they fell asleep in a daze......

In a trance, Xia Ye heard a slight sound in her ears, intermittently, because she was too tired, she didn't want to pay attention to it, but her heart began to cramp, and she suddenly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a small, ugly triangular head in front of her, spitting crimson letters at her.

"Snake!" She sat up screaming, trying to run away, but found that her legs were limp and weak, and she saw the silver-faced man kneeling on the ground in front of her with a blank gaze, the muscles of his face bouncing inexplicably.

"You, what are you going to do?" Thinking he was having a nightmare, Summer Night asked with a trembling voice.

The silver-faced figure was startled, his eyes slowly looking at the summer night, and he raised his hand towards her, his hand wrapped around the two-headed snake, one of which seemed to be ready to move on her.

"You, run!" Unexpectedly, the silver-faced man spat out these three words in his mouth, and his body stiffened to maintain that position, but he kept twitching. It was as if he was fighting against some force in his body, and he was already exhausted.

Xia Ye slowly squatted up and asked with concern, "Uncle, what can I help you?" ”

The silver-faced man's ravine-faced face twitched suddenly, took a deep breath, and drilled a word out of his teeth: "Get out!" ”

Xia Ye was stunned, and slowly stood up, still hesitating to watch, when suddenly the silver-faced man stood up, raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed at Xia Ye. She shrieked and stepped back, but the sword stopped halfway through, as if an invisible hand had grasped the silver-faced man's arm.

The silver-faced man held his sword and kept fighting against the air, and although Xia Ye didn't understand what was going on with him, he could guess to stay away from him as much as possible.

Just as Summer Night was slowly walking towards the river, the silver-faced man suddenly ran towards Summer Night with a suppressed and painful sound from his mouth.

"You're crazy!" Summer Night tried to wake him up, but he seemed to be out of control.

They chased after me, getting farther and farther away from the fire, and the world was shrouded in darkness in front of them, but at this time, the summer night saw that in the river, those silver fish began to increase, at first they were two or so occasionally swim by, and then run forward, and suddenly there appeared a dozen or so bare-silver fish, they were leisurely swimming in the water, like a comet in the heavenly river, dragging a long tail of light.

These lights are not so bright that people can't see the way forward, but they also make the silver-faced man have a clear goal, and he is chasing closely, and he is getting closer and closer, and the tip of the long sword is almost pointing to the back of the summer night.

She didn't know why the silver-faced man was chasing her as if he had suddenly lost his mind, and there was no time to explain.

"Kill, kill!" The silver-faced man shouted muttered, and the sword slashed a silver light through the darkness and slashed at her.

Summer Night didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped headlong into the underground river next to him.

There was a 'bang' in his ear, and it should be the silver-faced man who jumped down after him.

Although Xia Ye was bent on dying at the beginning, but now she doesn't want to die, she is a little scared in her heart, but fortunately, she used to have a good water nature, and she can open her eyes and see things underwater, and the light of those silver fish under the water is brighter, and she simply dives into the depths of the water, hoping that the silver-faced man will not chase after her.

However, she was still discovered, and when she didn't know how to escape him, a silver fish suddenly disappeared into a place, and she found that there was a hole under the water that could be drilled into by one person. Relying on the good water quality, you can hold your breath for a long time, and the summer night will go into it.

In this horizontal waterway, silverfish swim through the edges, like cars coming and going on the highway, some fish swim out of here, others swim in with the summer night.

Summer Night had a hunch that it would be the base camp of the fish, so that there would be an open river where she could breathe.

Sure enough, after swimming a few feet away, the summer night suddenly swam out of the narrow hole, and the eyes suddenly opened up. But it's not like a flowing river, it's more like a pond. It was almost full of glowing fish, and they swam around so densely that they almost dizzled the eyes of the summer night, and she hurriedly poked her head out of the water and took a deep breath.

After coming out of the water, Summer Night looked around.

Because of the light provided by the many silver fish, she saw that she had swam into a closed cave with a high arc-shaped roof, and on one side of the pool there was a platform with steps that slowly rose from the water to the ground, and it was obvious that there were traces of artificiality.

At this time, he heard a loud noise in the water, and the silver-faced man gasped and floated out, and Xia Ye was shocked when he saw him, but he looked very tired, and he was about to sink like a sack in the water, and Xia Ye hurriedly grabbed him by the back collar and dragged him to the platform on the side.

The silver-faced man lay on the ground as if he was dead, and when he went ashore, he saw that the stone wall behind him was covered with green climbing vines, and there seemed to be a door under the shade of vegetation.

But at this time, the situation of the silver-faced man was very bad, remembering that he had helped her when she was poisoned, and coupled with his strange behavior just now, she believed that he did not really want her life, and something must have happened.
