After drinking water, eating grilled dried fish, and sitting by the warm campfire, everyone was well rested, and their physical strength and 'spirit' were restored. Even the weakest Jing Xiaoran can now speak, and his 'spirit' state is obviously much better. Han Feng, Lei Ao and Xin Na knew that Jing Xiaoran had worked hard to save them, and their feelings of 'excitement' were beyond words. Jing Xiaoran said that there is no need to thank at all, since it is a team, they should help each other. She is also very relieved that her superpowers can help her partners, proving that she is worthy of this trip.

Speaking of this, Han Feng looked very excited: "Do you think that our 'Guardian Alliance' is simply a perfect combination!" Ji Kairui and Lei Ao, who have outstanding combat ability; Lu Hua, whose defensive ability is like an impregnable wall; Jing Xiaoran, who can bring people back to life, Sun Yuchen and Mi Xiaolu, who can 'perceive' the thoughts and emotions of the enemy, and of course, Hang Yi and me, who have ever-changing abilities - the combined abilities of our people are simply invincible! ”

Xina said, "If you say that, it's useless to be the only one. ”

Han Feng hurriedly added: "Where, Xinna's wisdom and judgment are our indispensable brains!" ”

"Alright, don't say nice things to comfort me." Sina laughed, "I'm kidding. In fact, I know very well that as an ordinary person, I definitely can't compare with you superpowers. But I'm not going to be presumptuous, maybe when it comes to a critical moment, I'll play an important role. ”

You're playing an important role right now. With you, I have infinite power. Hang Yi looked at Xinna, and his heart was 'tide', 'excited' and 'swinging'.

"Listening to you say that, it feels like we're characters in an RPG, and we all play an important role." Sun Yuchen said jokingly.

Speaking of games, Hang Yi is energetic. He immediately got into the groove and said, "Well, that's right! In the case of Final Fantasy 3, for example, I was able to find a class for everyone! ”

"Tell me about it!" Lei Ao is also a game enthusiast and is very interested.

"I'll talk about them one by one. Ji Kairui, who has strong attack power and can 'equip' various weapons, is undoubtedly the horn 'color' of 'warrior', while Lei Ao can both 'manipulate' the 'sex' of the longitudinal wind and have air superiority, and the corresponding profession is 'black magician' or 'dragon knight'. Jing Xiaoran is obviously an indispensable 'white mage' in the team, responsible for adding blood - that is, healing. ”

Everyone listened with great interest and found it very interesting about their respective careers. Lei Ao obviously felt that the handsome profession of "Dragon Knight" was too suitable for him, and he was excited, urging him: "Go on!" ”

"Lu Hua, of course it's the 'knight' with the high defensive horn 'color'. However, his wealth of knowledge and knowledge is also very suitable for the profession of 'scholar', and Sun Yuchen can 'manipulate' objects with his mind, much like the 'magic swordsman' who can use the sword master. ”

Sun Yuchen was very happy: "'Demon Swordsman'? Sounds so cool! He scratched his head. However, I can only '' small items with my mind, and it may not be of much use when I really encounter a sinister situation. ”

"It's okay, you're an auxiliary horn 'color', don't forget that you also have mind reading." Hang Yi's words about the game can't be closed when the box is opened. "In Final Fantasy 3, there is a profession that can use the terrain to attack, called 'Feng Shui Master', is there anything more suitable for Han Feng than this?"

"Hahaha, interesting!" Han Feng was full of interest. "What about Mi Xiaolu?"

Hang Yi said: "Xiaomi can 'manipulate' and control the enemy's emotions and minds, which is equivalent to the ''chant' in the game, and can use auxiliary skills to attach various states to the enemy." In the game, this is an indispensable class for boss fights. ”

Mi Xiaolu smiled faintly and did not speak.

"Okay, it's you at the end, what kind of profession are you?" Han Feng asked.

"I've thought about it a long time ago." Hang Yi said with a flushed face, "I can 'summon' things in the game into reality, which is equivalent to the 'illusionist' who can use summoned beasts in the game, this is my favorite class!" ”

Everyone laughed and thought it was very funny. Xina asked curiously: "I haven't played the game Final Fantasy, so which one is the strongest among the many classes you just mentioned?" ”

Hang Yi said: "In a well-made and well-balanced 'sexual' RPG game, there is actually no such thing as 'the strongest class'. Each class has its own advantages and disadvantages, and you must rely on teammates to cooperate with each other in order to beat the game. He paused, "But, strictly speaking, there is one profession that is the most important. ”

"What profession?"

"White Mage." Hang Yi said.

Jing Xiaoran was stunned: "You mean me?" ”

"Yes, in almost all RPG games, the class responsible for 'regeneration' is essential. Because no matter how powerful the horn is, there will always be a time when you are injured or defeated. Without the Healing Profession, the team would not have made it to the end. ”

"Really...... At first, I thought my abilities were the most useless. Jing Xiaoran said.

"Quite the opposite." Hang Yi said.

"That's right, so far, Ji Kairui, Han Feng, Lei Ao and I have all been able to save their lives because of Jing Xiaoran's treatment." Xinna smiled and looked at Jing Xiaoran.

Jing Xiaoran's face flushed: "Don't say that, everyone's ability is very important, if it weren't for your protection, I might have died a long time ago." ”

"In short, with you, we don't have to be afraid of all kinds of dangers on the road ahead!" Lei Ao patted Jing Xiaoran on the shoulder.

Jing Xiaoran seemed very happy, it was a happy thing to be needed and valued by others.

After Ji Kairui rested, he stood up, took out a flashlight from his backpack, inspected this 'hole' and 'hole' again, and said: "Don't you think that the number of fire salamanders in this 'hole' is really abnormal? ”

"Maybe the conditions of this karst 'cave' are particularly suitable for the reproduction and survival of fire salamanders?" Han Feng guessed.

"I believe that there are no less than a thousand 'caves' of this type in the country. But there is no other place in the 'cave' that has such a number of fire salamanders. "At least I haven't heard of it." ”

Lu Hua frowned: "By the way, it's really strange for you to say that." Not to mention the number – salamanders are amphibians that live in Europe. I've never seen reports of fire salamanders in China before. Maybe I don't know enough about ......, though."

Xin Na looked at Ji Kairui for a while, and then looked at Lu Hua: "So, what do you mean?" Someone breeds fire salamanders in captivity on this island? This 'hole' 'hole' is the breeding site? ”

Lu Hua shook his head and said, "I can't think of anyone who would do such a thing, and what is the point?" Since the salamander is a foreign creature, Chinese medicine experts have not studied its 'medicinal' value. And this disgusting animal, no one will want to eat them......"

"Not necessarily." Ji Kairui stood close to the wall of the 'cave' and interrupted Lu Hua's words.

Lu Hua made a very uncomfortable look: "Don't say such disgusting things, okay, I haven't heard of anyone eating fire salamanders." Not only are they highly poisonous on the surface, but also the terrifying color of their skin makes people feel 'hairy' just by looking at it. ”

"I didn't say that 'people' would eat them, maybe some other animal." Ji Kairui pointed a flashlight on the ground in front of the wall of the 'cave' and said, "Actually, I have already found traces of the fire salamander being eaten. ”

"What?" Everyone was startled at the same time and got up from the ground. "What did you find?"

"Come and see for yourselves."

The group walked towards where Ji Kairui was standing, and through the light shining on the ground, they saw an extremely horrific and disgusting scene—the stumps of some fire salamanders on the ground. Some were left below the waist, some were only left with their heads, and many more were torn to shreds. Lu Hua only glanced at it, then turned around, almost vomiting. Sina also had 'chicken' bumps all over her body. The rest were stunned.

Ji Kairui asked Lu Hua: "The fire salamander doesn't have the habit of devouring its own kind of 'sex', right?" ”

"No......" Lu Hua's face was pale, and he covered his mouth with one hand. Don't ask me again, it's disgusting. ”

"So, they're obviously being used as food by other animals." Ji Kairui said.

"In other words, there are other creatures living in this 'hole' and 'hole'." Hang Yi said.

"I'm afraid that's the only explanation." Ji Kairui used a flashlight to shine around. "But strangely, we didn't find any other animals."

Sina thought of something and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Han Feng looked at his watch: "Six forty in the afternoon." ”

"Will it ......," Xina guessed with fear. This 'hole' is the 'home' of some kind of large animal, which goes out to forage for food during the day and returns here at night. ”

"It's not impossible," Lu Hua said in horror, "Oh my God, since that's the case, let's get out of here quickly!" ”

"It's raining heavily outside, where are we going?" Hang Yi said to Lu Hua, "Besides, have you forgotten?" What are we doing on this island? If there really is any mysterious creature living in this 'cave' and 'cave', then it is worth investigating. ”

"Boss Hang Yi is right. The more we find these strange traces, the more we should wait here for the creature to appear. Maybe it's the monster I saw on the beach last night. Lei Ao said, "We have so many superpowers together, are we still afraid that it won't work?" ”

Lu Hua couldn't speak. Ji Kairui took the flashlight and walked towards the entrance of the 'hole' and 'hole'. He observed for a moment the underground river flowing outside the 'hole', and then 'shot' the beam of light from the flashlight into the underground lake. After examining it carefully for a long time, he said: "Another interesting phenomenon - the fire salamander on the wall of the 'hole' sometimes climbs down and enters the water. But in the underground lake, there is not a single fire salamander, not even approaching. ”

The crowd came over and watched for a while—and sure enough. Han Feng said: "It's really strange that these fire salamanders ignore this big 'swimming pool' and only enter that small river ditch. ”

Sun Yuchen said: "It's a pity that we are not fire salamanders, so we can't 'understand' their behavior patterns. ”

"Maybe they're trying to get out and about it through the stream." Han Feng said, "It may also be that the water in the underground lake is too deep for 'swimming'." Haha, fire salamanders are also afraid of drowning? ”

At this time, no one was amused by Han Feng's witty words, but his words made Hang Yi think of a question: "How deep is this underground lake?" Is there a way to measure it? ”

Jing Xiaoran shook his head and said, "We don't have anything like a long bamboo pole around us." ”

"No need for bamboo poles." Leo searched the ground around him for a while, and found a palm-sized piece of 'flower' granite. "Try it with it."

"How to try? Thrown into the water? Sun Yuchen asked.

"How do you try it out?" Lei Ao said to Han Feng, "I remember that there was a piece of rope in the backpack, right?" ”

Everybody understands.

Han Feng took out the mountaineering rope he bought from the outdoor goods store - this was originally for mountaineering. Lei Ao tied up the 'flower' granite with a rope and threw it into the underground lake, grabbing the rope with both hands and slowly lowering it.

The rope with the stone attached to the front submerged into the water foot by foot, and after a few minutes, the rope looked like it was about to come to an end, but it didn't look like it was at all. Xina was surprised and said, "How deep is this underground lake?" ”

Han Feng said: "I remember, it seems that I bought an 80-meter-long rope at that time. ”

Lei Ao was stunned and said, "It means that this underground lake is at least 80 meters deep?" Maybe it's not all, it's not even yet! ”

Lu Hua said: "In fact, this is not a particularly strange thing, many underground lakes in the world's 'holes' and 'holes' are very deep, because the groundwater contains slightly soluble 'sexual' calcium bicarbonate, and has been dissolved for many years, so it has formed a bottomless 'bottomless pool'." ”

Lei Ao has completely put the rope to the end. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt the climbing rope in his hand shake, as if something under the water was pulling the rope! No matter how bold Lei Ao was, he couldn't help but be surprised, his body trembled, and his hand holding the rope was released. The end of the rope slipped into the water like a snake out of control.

Han Feng: "Ah! The ground screamed: "Why did you let go?!" ”

"It's not that I want to let go," Lei Ao's eyes widened in horror, "underwater...... Something is pulling the rope down! ”

These words made everyone nervous and frightened, and they involuntarily took a few steps back. But after a while, nothing happened, and the underground lake was as calm as a mirror. Hang Yi said: "Could it be that there are fish in this pool and they have touched the rope?" ”

"I don't think so," Leo said, "it doesn't feel like it's 'bump,' it's something pulling the rope down." ”

"The rope is tied to the rock, and there is a downward pulling force." Sun Yuchen said.

Lei Ao frowned, the feeling just now was fleeting, and now he couldn't figure out what was going on. Maybe it's really a delusion? He wasn't sure anymore.

"Anyway, this 'hole' and 'hole' are really weird. Let's all be careful. Hang Yi said, "Han Feng and I will take turns keeping vigil tonight." ”

"Okay." Han Feng nodded.

Sun Yuchen thought for a while and said, "Han Feng, it's not that I can't trust you. It's just that...... Have you ever thought about it, if something suddenly happens in the middle of the night, how should you deal with it? Your superpowers seem to be difficult to exert in this 'hole' and 'hole'. ”

"I'm not weak myself, I'm a good hand at fighting, and I don't necessarily have to use superpowers." Han Feng showed the muscle 'flesh' on his arm.

"Don't be reckless Han Feng, what Sun Yuchen said makes sense. Your 'calamity' is indeed difficult to carry out in the 'hole' and 'hole'. Besides, we already anticipate that large creatures may come into the 'holes' at night. Those who will keep vigil tonight must be people with first-class combat ability. Lu Hua said.

Han Feng pursed his lips, it was hard to hold on. Lei Ao volunteered: "I'll come! ”

"I'd better come," said Ji Kairy, "and don't fall asleep again." ”

"I promise not this time!" Lei Ao said seriously, "This time I will keep watch in the middle of the night, absolutely no problem!" ”

"It's okay," Hang Yi said to Ji Kairui, "Your combat ability is the strongest, and you must rest enough to ensure your strength to the greatest extent." It's decided, tonight Lei Ao will keep the first half of the night, and I will keep the second half of the night. ”

"Again, don't forget to add wood to the fire." Ji Kairui said to Lei Ao.

"Don't worry."

There was nothing else to do in the empty hole, and everyone was tired. According to yesterday's allocation, they went to rest in the tents. In order to prevent himself from being sleepy again due to boredom, Lei Ao did not sit down, he paced back and forth between several tents, keeping an eye on the entrance of the 'hole' and 'hole', and did his duty to the extreme.

Hang Yi found that Mi Xiaolu was in a wrong mood since the afternoon, and he never found a chance to ask. After entering the tent, Mi Xiaolu was also expressionless, without saying a word, holding his 'legs' and sitting on his sleeping bag, not sleeping. Hang Yi couldn't help but ask, "Xiaomi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mi Xiaolu was waiting for Hang Yi to ask this sentence. However, he did not answer immediately, and still sat with his back to Hang Yi coldly. Hang Yi knew Mi Xiaolu most of the time, and knew that he was having a temper, but Hang Yi, who was simple in his 'sex', didn't know why Mi Xiaolu was angry, and it was impossible to understand Mi Xiaolu's thoughts. Scratching his head inexplicably, he asked again, "What the hell is wrong with you?" ”

Mi Xiaolu turned his back to Hang Yi and said coldly, "You are really great today." ”

Hang Yi groaned slightly, knowing what he was talking about, and also heard the irony in Mi Xiaolu's words. He didn't speak.

Mi Xiaolu turned around and looked at Hang Yi: "For her, you can die, right?" ”

Hang Yi was still silent. Mi Xiaolu said: "You want to save her, there is nothing wrong with this." But what's the point of exchanging your life for hers? Everyone's life is equally precious, does she have more rights to live than you? ”

Hang Yi said in a low voice: "I was just bent on reviving Xinna, I didn't think about it so much. ”

"I know you didn't think so much. You lost your mind completely. Mi Xiaolu twisted his face to the side, "That's stupid." ”

Hang Yi said: "But...... Didn't you do the same? ”

Mi Xiaolu was speechless for a while, and after a while, he said: "I'm different from you, I'm dizzy because of you." ”

"What do you have to be angry about?" Hang Yi asked puzzled.

Mi Xiaolu almost wanted to vent his inner emotions. He had wanted to do this for a long time, and he didn't want to pretend to be just a good buddy of Hang Yi anymore. But now he is not an ordinary person, but a superpower who can 'manipulate' "emotions", and he believes that as he rises in level, this superpower will one day produce miracles - thinking of this, he suppressed his emotions and replaced them with high-sounding reasons: "You don't know how important you are." The Guardian League can be without anyone, but never without you. ”

Hang Yi shook his head and said, "You overestimate my role, Xiaomi." I'm not as important as you say. ”

"No, you were the one who first proposed the Alliance. We are united because of you. Your 'spirit' god, who does not easily bow to fate, gives us hope, which is why we have the courage to confront the 'old god'. If you die, the blow to us will not be as simple as one less person, it will completely destroy our will and determination! Mi Xiaolu said solemnly, "So, do you understand?" You are not only living for yourself, but also carrying the hope and future of all of us on your shoulders! Your life is a hundred times more important than you think! You can't do that kind of stupid thing on impulse! ”

Hang Yi looked at Mi Xiaolu in a daze, and after a long time, he lowered his head and said, "Even if what you say makes sense, I can't watch Xinna die in front of me, you don't understand my feelings." ”

You don't understand how I feel. Mi Xiaolu thought sadly. You don't know how much you mean to me.

They were silent for several minutes. Mi Xiaolu said, "Brother Hang Yi, can I ask you a question?" ”

"What's the problem?"

"If I were the one who was poisoned today, would you do the same?"

As soon as Mi Xiaolu asked, he immediately regretted it. He was asking—are you willing to die for me?"

Hang Yi hesitated for a moment, and said in a flash: "Yes...... Yes. He patted Mi Xiaolu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Hey, why do you ask such a question." Do you know that I am not a person who values 'sex' and ignores friends, you were bullied before, didn't I help you fight? Okay, let's go to sleep. ”

Mi Xiaolu smiled reluctantly, but his heart sank into the bottomless abyss like the rock that fell into the lake at first.

He slipped into his sleeping bag and turned his back to Hang Yi, two lines of tears rolling silently down his eyes. Hang Yi replied with the sentence "Yes", and he heard the perfunctory and reluctance. Although he didn't report hope, he was still extremely uncomfortable.

Mi Xiaolu suddenly had an idea. He had never tried to change his emotions with superpowers. Because he felt that he was deceiving himself. But at this moment, his heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't care about it anymore. Let's give it a try.

Mi Xiaolu can't see the emotional ball on his head, but what is his mood, do you need to see it? He closed his eyes and activated his superpowers, imagining a small red ball floating around his head.

When he opened his eyes, his mood had changed completely. He happily pushed Hang Yi next to him and shouted, "Brother Hang Yi!" ”

Hang Yi turned around and saw Mi Xiaolu smiling, and felt inexplicable. Compared to just now, the contrast is too great. He asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just 'kind' happy. We've never slept in a tent together, hehe. ”

"Didn't you sleep in the tent last night?"

"I mean, never before."

"Hmm."

"We came to this island, although we have experienced some dangers, but it is still 'quite fun'."

"Isn't it fun...... If you think so, it's 'quite' good. ”

"I'm looking forward to seeing what interesting things happen tomorrow."

"Hmm...... yes, let's go to bed early today. Hang Yi really couldn't figure out the situation, so he muttered and turned to sleep. Mi Xiaolu is still stupidly happy, and the tears on his cheeks have not dried, but he is just happy, so happy that he doesn't care that this is self-deception.
