209 Friend or Foe
(Cat flutter Chinese) Qiuqiu silently labeled Huo'er.
Foodie.
The surrounding fog was thinner and thinner by it, and the insects really had no way to survive, and the fog dispersed as quickly as a strong wind to the edges, to the dark and hidden places.
On the contrary, Huo'er eats very happily, for it is very satisfied with the taste and density of the insect feast, usually it does not eat insects Qiuqiu did not find out, but even if it did, there were not so many such peculiar insects for it to chew and chew......
Perhaps for Fire, the insect mist that others are afraid of is as happy for it as swimming in a sea of chocolate.
When the fog cleared, the valley revealed its full form.
This place has nothing to do with the mountains and rivers at all, in fact, the strange rocks here are craggy, the places that can be seen are bare, scattered bones are scattered, and there is even a skeleton hanging on the mountain wall not far away, only a few rags are connected between the head and the body, but the rags are already ragged, but I am afraid that it will not last long.
Jin Kunyu unconsciously took Qiuqiu as the leader, and asked tentatively: "Qiuzhang Peak, let's ...... now"
Qiuqiu glanced at him a little strangely: "Elder Jin, you don't have a way to communicate with each other?" β
If there were no clues at all, Jin Kunyu and they wouldn't be able to find it.
Jin Kunyu's expression was bitter: "Originally, there was, but this induction disappeared in the evening today......"
In other words, they are afraid that their companions are now more than lucky.
And the danger of this valley was still beyond his expectations, if it wasn't for Qiuqiu, they were afraid that they wouldn't even be able to enter the valley.
Qiuqiu looked at Jin Kunyu, and after a while, Jin Kunyu was extremely nervous.
Qiuqiu nodded: "Okay." β
Huo'er crouched on her shoulder and took another big breath.
When tornadoes occur, there is a phenomenon called dragon sucking water - now the fire sucks up the mist. That's pretty much it. If the insects could make a sound, they would scream for mercy and run for their lives, but now they are like small boats caught in a big whirlpool, unable to break free from this suction.
Huo'er's little belly sucked so much into it, but it didn't bulge at all.
Jin Kunyu was amazed.
Qiuqiu is used to it. Because she knew that the current body shape was not the actual size of Huo'er, the real body shape of this guy was revealed when he was in the capital that day, and his body was only thicker than a water tank, and the length was like a small train. To it, this little bug is about the weight of a plug between its teeth.
The fire squeaked excitedly in one direction, and there was probably something there that was attracting it.
The group was directed by the fire to divert direction.
There are many strange rocks here. The underground is even more rugged, and when you look up, the sky is gray and foggy.
The fog also dissipated, and between two boulders that were very close to each other, there was a dark red round object. The insects that were originally surrounded by the ball were sucked clean by the fire in one breath. Reveal the true face of the orb.
Is that...... Cocoon.
A huge cocoon made of countless filaments, look at the size. You don't have to guess what's inside.
Don't wait for them to do it. The fire pounced on it, and bit down on the cocoon, tearing and biting the cocoon like a marshmallow, and breaking a big hole.
Qiuqiu was a little frightened when she saw it-
If Huo'er wants to lick her next time, should she rinse her mouth and brush her teeth before allowing her to lick it?
The people who emerged from the cocoon were a little familiar, and they were the two people who had just been ordered by Jin Kunyu to enter the valley mouth to explore the way, and then disappeared.
This time their men rushed forward without commanding. watched as the fire ate the cocoon, and then untied the people on it.
Thankfully, the person is still alive, just unconscious.
They came just in time. The bugs haven't had time to eat them yet.
This is probably a way for the bugs to eat.
But when I think of the dense and fine marks on the bones I saw beforeβthose should be bite marks, and how they were left behind, there is no suspense.
Extrapolating like that, the bugs are eating...... , it should be rushed up and gnawed directly.
Why are they now wrapping people in cocoons? Is this to be put aside as a reserve for the first time, or is there some other reason?
The safety of these two disciples made everyone feel more at ease, and they also had optimistic speculations about the safety of their fellow disciples who were lost here. Maybe they weren't poisoned by bugs, but they were all sealed in a cocoon.
Sure enough, I found a few more big cocoons forward, and the people inside were not people they recognized, they were also sealed in the cocoon, but they may have been sealed for a long time, so the breath was weaker, and the whole person was lying on his stomach. Judging by their clothing, they should be ordinary people living in the nearby mountains, perhaps they strayed into the valley and were trapped by insects.
The cocoon looked airtight, but the people inside were not suffocated to death. Bugs don't seem to like carrion, so try to keep the "food" fresh?
She could feel herself getting closer and closer.
She tried to call out to Shi'er in her heart like she had done last time.
After a while, there was no response either.
As they advanced, the red mist dissipated, but much slower than before. If the bugs fled just now, now they seem a little sluggish, or stubborn.
As if there was some reason why they would not be willing to back down, even in the face of such a terrible predator.
Qiuqiu thought, probably close to the core position.
These bugs will probably have a leader, just like a bee colony will have a queen.
More and more cocoons were found on the way, and two of them were from Jin Kunyu's side, which made them feel even more relieved.
And Qiuqiu has not found Lin Su guarding them until now.
She suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and her fingers stroked the antler-like horns that had been split on Huo'er's head.
No, you can't be impatient, and you can't be flustered.
She had to calm down.
Anxiety and anxiety do not help things, but rather affect her judgment and reactions.
Besides, there are still a group of people like Jin Kunyu by her side, although everyone is now temporarily turning enemies into friends, but if there is a chance, who knows if they will stab her in the back?
Qiuqiu doesn't know why. Suddenly remembered that when she first entered the seventh peak, she saw Shi'er's mother being plotted.
Then she remembered that in the dream not long ago, the paper figure in Shi'er was broken in front of her.
Qiuqiu took a deep breath.
Turning another corner, their eyes were a deep dark red.
The mountain walls, the ground, and the rocks were crawling everywhere with red insects, and they were densely gathered here, and it looked like a world paved with dark red sand.
Qiuqiu and Huo'er walked over, they didn't know how to run away like they were stupid.
Or maybe they have something more important to do than just save their lives.
Like what. The mother that protects the swarm, or the eggs, may also be something else.
The fire jumped into the swarm, and it quickly dragged a large cocoon chrysalis out of the pile.
In terms of size, it was a little bigger than the cocoon chrysalis they had just seen.
It's a fat guy in it?
No.
After the fire eats the bugs on the cocoon chrysalis. The cocoon shell was also torn a crack.
A silvery light peeked through the cracks.
The man in the cocoon was wrapped in a soft silver glow, and his expression was calm. Eyes closed.
Qiuqiu was right. The person in this cocoon was the young immortal master she had met once.
She watched as his eyes slowly opened.
Huo'er stepped back, not chewing on the big cocoon shell.
Yu Immortal Master's appearance is better than the last time he was separated, and he seems to have grown up.
It's not that immature, the appearance of a young man, and he looks a little heroic between his eyebrows. The soft baby fat on the face has also faded a lot.
Jin Kunyu had already led the people to kneel and salute: "Immortal Master." β
Immortal Master Yu nodded at them, then turned his head to look at Qiuqiu.
"Autumn Palm Peak. I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed. β
Qiuqiu returned the salute: "Immortal Master Yu." β
Qiuqiu's feeling just now was not an illusion, this was indeed the Immortal Master who had grown up and grown a little taller than when they were separated last time, and the two stood facing each other. He is already a lot taller than Qiuqiu.
"Is Qiuzhang Peak also here because of the strangeness of this place? I entered this valley a few days ago, and I also met Ji Yunting's palm peak. β
"Senior Brother Ji? Where is he now? β
"At that time, we separated, and Ji Zhangfeng went deeper."
"Immortal Master Yu has also seen other Jiufeng disciples?"
He shook his head: "I haven't seen it." β
So Lin Su, they came later.
Ji Yunting's whereabouts have been unknown for several days, but Qiuqiu had seen Lin Su a few hours ago.
Lin Su and Guan Wei should have also learned of Ji Yunting's whereabouts before rushing here.
"Fortunately, Qiuzhang came and relieved me."
Qiuqiu, of course, has to move forward. However, since Jin Kunyu and the others had already found the person they were looking for, there was no need to go in with Qiuqiu again.
In fact, in the situation just now, it seemed that Immortal Master Yu was not in danger at all, and those insects couldn't do anything to him at all. Perhaps Huo'er's reckless actions have ruined his original plan.
He didn't dare to receive Xie Qiuqiu, he was just a kind word.
"If Qiu Zhangfeng still wants to find Ji Zhangfeng's whereabouts, I am willing to help you." He continued, "These bugs should have a mother worm, and it's not far from here. β
"What kind of insect is this, and why is it gathering here, does the immortal master know?"
The man turned his head and looked at her quietly: "Qiu Zhangfeng doesn't need to be so polite, just call me by my name, I have a single name." β
This autumn will not fall.
It's too intimate to call them by name, and their relationship is nowhere near that.
No matter how gentle and harmless the immortal master in front of him looked, Qiuqiu had never let his guard down.
Qiuqiu didn't answer this, and the other party didn't force it. (To be continued.) )
ps: Bedside in the hospital ing~~~ Thank you for your blessings. I will be strong and optimistic to face each day. Cat flutter Chinese
