I grabbed him and whispered: "Zhao Xie, you believe me, no matter how important you have tonight, please don't go out of your room, I will always pay attention to you and protect you." ”
"You ......"
The dwarf seemed to want to say something, but seeing my nervous expression, he stopped talking, and thought about it, presumably deliberating on what I had said earlier. But despite this, he chose to believe me.
"Okay, I trust you."
The dwarf walked slowly to his room, and with the gentle closing of the door, the stone in my heart seemed to be lowered, but when I remembered what had happened before, the loose thread in my heart was pulled tighter, and I prayed silently in my heart, praying for his safety, and at the same time fearing the coming of night.

Like in the previous world, I gently pushed the glass of the window open, opened to an angle that could reflect the position of the first floor, through the refraction of the glass, I carefully observed the situation downstairs, time passed minute by minute, but I didn't seem to feel the passage of time, as if it was still, my mood became extremely restless, and the flowing time was infinitely extended.
If time could pass faster, faster, faster...... Until the light of dawn spills through the end of the window onto the gnome's room, how nice it would be.
But looking at the darkness around me, my sweat couldn't help but drip from my forehead. The only thing I was thankful for was that the dwarf didn't leave his room. It seems that he kept his promise with me.
The wind gently blew the branches, and the leaves slowly fell from the air, like a cut of fate, and in an instant they became two halves and drifted in different directions.
But no matter how far you drift, you can't leave this vast land.
I looked at the fallen leaves intently, like Zhou Gong dreaming of butterflies, and the fallen leaves looked at me intently.
We laughed at each other, but neither of us gave in.
Suddenly, I saw Wu Han's figure in the refraction of the glass, and I saw him sneak into the dwarf's room, and I don't know what they said between them, the dwarf immediately stood up, followed Wu Han with a panicked expression, and walked out of the door with him.
Seeing this, I quickly called Arthur and Xiaoyu, followed them closely, deliberately did not dare to approach, kept a long distance, followed them through the beast area, went straight all the way, and finally came to the giant snake cave.
"Wow~Wow~Wow~"
The sea breeze was blowing violently in our ears, as if to tell us that something important was about to happen, and the sea breeze kept thinking in my head, as if someone had told me that I had no clue.
After thinking about it, Wu Han and the dwarf walked to the cave, the cave was dark, and the dwarf timidly hid behind Wu Han and said softly:
"Are you sure we're really going in?"
"Of course, I'm all set."
I saw Wu Han take something out of his pocket and throw it into the dark hole.
He and the gnome covered their noses with their hands and carefully observed the situation in the cave.
"Can we go in?" The dwarf asked.
"Wait a minute."
I heard a loud sound from the cave like a boulder rolling down the mountain.
"I'm pretty much there, let's go inside."
Wu Han and the dwarf walked straight into the pitch-black cave.
I patted Arthur next to me:
"Let's go in too, shall we?"
Arthur looked at me suspiciously: "Aren't they afraid of the big snake in the cave?" ”
"I think they must have figured out a way to deal with this big snake, let's get in quickly."
We quickened our pace and walked towards the hole.
Arthur and Xiaoyu followed me quietly, and I swallowed:
"Let's go inside."
The cave was dark and damp, with the faint sound of water droplets in the distance, and the smell of nervousness in the air.
Arthur suddenly slapped me hard and asked in horror, "What's that?" ”
I looked in the direction of her finger, and a huge black behemoth stood in front of us, and I stepped closer to look, "It's the big snake."
It fell motionless in front of us.
"Is it dead?" Arthur asked, his left hand gripped the corner of my coat tightly.
"No, and breathing, I think they probably put it to sleep."
We headed deeper into the cave.
"Why are they gone? Even the footsteps could not be heard. ”
Arthur shook his head, signaling that she didn't know what was going on.
"I want to ...... They...... Maybe some mechanism was found......" I speculated.
We explored the depths of the dark cavern.
"Why is there such a big rock in the middle of the road?" Arthur muttered to himself, pointing to the stone.
Stone? I thought to myself, the gravel in the cave should be on both sides, why is there such a big stone in the middle?
I fumbled around the stone, it was huge and very hard, and it felt like the texture was different from the stones around me, as if someone had put it here on purpose.
Suddenly, I felt a very noticeable bulging button in the lower right corner of the boulder, and I pressed it hard.
The stone wall behind Xiaoyu slowly moved.
"It seems that there is a way!" Arthur said, pointing to the stone wall.
I walked over to the stone wall: "Let's go in and have a look, they must have entered from here." ”
The passage that the stone wall had moved out of was just one person to pass through, Arthur and Xiaoyu followed closely behind me, there was a slight light in front of us, we quickened our pace, and at the end of the tunnel was connected to another cave, Wu Han and the dwarf stood in front of a huge stone door.
"We're finally here." The corners of Wu Han's mouth flashed with a smile.
"Great, we've found it, let's get inside." The gnome pushed open the stone door in a dazzling light.
In the bright light, I saw Wu Han and the dwarf walking into the stone gate.
What are they looking for?
I had a big question in my heart, and I couldn't help but walk into the stone gate.
"Shall we go in too?" Arthur was still standing behind me.
Suddenly I felt a headache, I felt like I was being beaten violently, the beast area, the sea breeze, yes, the sea breeze, why didn't I think of it, the place Yin Ji told me should be here, why didn't I think about it earlier, could it be that they went to find Yin Ji?
I'm standing in front of the open stone door, and I'm about to find you——————— Yin Ji.
