road

Wen Yu took Xia Yuan's hand and walked cautiously on the narrow path, under the jump of the firelight, the stone wall on the side looked very damp, and the water droplets reflected the two people in the firelight, sliding down the uneven wall, flowing into the stone crevices, and disappearing.

There was the sound of water dripping in her ears, and every now and then a drop or two would rub against the tip of her warm nose and fall into her collar, and the cold touch ran through her skin, making her tremble.

"Hey, there's too much humidity in this place, isn't it?" Wen Mo looked at the fire fold in his hand, and began to feel a little wet, and the fire didn't seem to be as strong as it was at the beginning.

"yes, it's weirdly cold in this place." The wind that blew from nowhere, carrying the water vapor from the river, blew on Xia Yuan's legs, and in an instant, goosebumps spread to his entire body.

Wen Mo shone the fire fold upward, originally just wanted to look around casually, but she didn't expect to meet the countless pairs of eyes perched on the top of the cave, and her body was also stunned, and she almost shook the fire fold in her hand to the ground.

"This ...... What is this, bat? Wen Mu took a step back, just being picked up by Xia Yuan, and the fire fold pointed at those eyes on the top of the cave in her hand, and it was from such an angle that it looked like countless beads that emitted a strange light.

The bats seemed to sense that their habitat was threatened, and they all fluttered their wings and flew towards the two of them.

"Ahh Wen Mo looked at the darkness that came to her face, and instantly became confused, and hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands, and the fire fold in her hand also fell to the ground and went out because of her action.

Xia Yuan didn't think about it, so he panicked to protect Wen Mu, waving his hands indiscriminately, trying to drive them away, but to no avail, he kept throwing himself at the two of them, and had no choice but to squat down with Wen Lan facing the stone wall, shrank up, and prayed that the bats would leave the two quickly. Wen Mu also covered his ears and hid in Xia Yuan's arms, his eyes were closed, and his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.

I don't know how long it took, but the ears of the two of them finally quieted down, and there were no more sharp sounds of a large number of bats, only the initial sound of water flowing and dripping water, and occasionally one or two lone bats flew behind the two. Xia Yuan's coat had many scratches, and his hair had become messy, he grabbed Wen Yuan's shoulders, led her to stand up, and pulled down her hands that had been covering her ears, and said softly: "Okay, Ah Yan, it's okay." ”

"It's so scary to have wings, I should have thought there would be a lot of bats in this damp cave." Wen Mo finally eased up, cold sweat had soaked her back, and she noticed that her hands were already empty, and even in front of her eyes was already pitch black, the two of them had already walked to the depths of the cave, and the natural light of the world behind them could no longer penetrate, "Where did my fire break go." ”

"Did you drop it somewhere?" Xia Yuan, who had lost the light source, couldn't see anything, he could only stand in place at the moment, and he who was let go of his hand by Wen Mu began to be a little unable to distinguish where Wen Lan was, and he reached forward, but he could only touch the air and the stone wall.

"Ah, I found it." Wen Mu shook it off vigorously, and the light finally reappeared in front of Xia Yuan's eyes, "Fortunately, I didn't fall into the river, and I can see a little spark inside." ”

"Alright, Obuchi, let's keep walking." Wen Mu stretched out his hand towards Xia Yuan, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward and held her hand tightly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia Yuan felt that this road seemed to be getting wider and wider, and it could only be used by one person, but now even if the two of them walked side by side, they didn't feel crowded, and the sound of the water began to become quieter and quieter, and with the footsteps of the two, it gradually disappeared behind him.

Xia Yuan couldn't stand this quietness a little, and said, "Ah Yan, do you think this place seems a little weird?" ”

"Weird?"

"Don't you think you've been a lot quieter since just now?"

"When you say that, it seems that the river is indeed not as turbulent as it was just now." Wen Mo slowed down, and shone the fire fold on the surface of the river, and the dark river without water ripples was like a stagnant water.

"And the road has become much wider, and I don't even need to go with you one after the other."

Wen Yan looked around seriously, and couldn't help but guess: "Xiao Yuan, do you think it is possible for us to go further, and the river will disappear, and the paths on both sides will merge into one road?" ”

It's just that as soon as Wen Muan's words fell, there was a fluctuation in the river on the side, and the originally calm water was tumbling abnormally at this time.

The two of them involuntarily leaned against the wall and looked at each other: there seemed to be something coming under the water.

Their hands clenched tighter, and cold sweat began to ooze from their palms, Wen Mu brought the fire fold closer to the surface of the water, which at this moment seemed to be boiling hot water, and the sound of bubble explosions became more and more dense, and something was about to come out of the water.

Wen Lan's hand holding the fire fold was still shaking, and his eyes were staring at the water, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would be attacked by this thing.

The water splashed and suddenly exploded on the surface of the water, and the river fell like a torrential rain, falling in front of the two people who were clinging to the stone wall.

The heartbeat of both of them accelerated a little, and at this time, a big fish almost a person tall cut through the mist, opened its bloody mouth, and flew towards the two of them, the color of its body was no different from the stone wall, the whole mouth almost occupied half of the body, the mouth full of sallow but long-looking vampire-like fangs made people can't help but be creepy, there was an unknown liquid between the upper and lower teeth, and the top of the tentacles hanging above the head was lit up with dark green fluorescence, and the whole body exuded a disgusting smell.

Wen Mo looked at the strange fish that leaped up, his hand reacted faster than his brain, his eyes closed, and he threw the fire fold directly into the mouth of the fish, the fire fold was extinguished in the mouth of the strange fish, and it made a piercing "zizi" sound, hitting the eardrums of the two people, and its whole body fell back into the river again, splashing water splashed the two people's bodies, and then regained calm.

"How did this fish end up in such a creek?" Wen Mu patted his chest with some trepidation.

"Ah, do you know what kind of fish this is? It's really weird and scary. ”

"I don't know, it's a fish I've never seen before, but I've burned its tongue with a fire breaker, and it shouldn't be moving anymore for a while...... That's right! Fire Fold! ”

Wen Mo realized that the two of them had fallen into darkness again, and the only lighting tool had been put into the belly of the fish.
