By the time I got out of the woodland, my patience had almost worn out. And the more impatient one after another, he asked the madman angrily: "Can you make it faster?" The madman rolled his eyes at him, "What's the hurry?" ”

snorted coldly one after another: "I'm not in a hurry, your sweetheart is in a hurry." ”

The madman was stunned for a few seconds before he turned back to look at me, and asked, "Are you in a hurry, little box?" I took a deep breath and replied, "Yes, I'm in a hurry, can you drive it faster?" He looked up at the sky, then at the spider on the ground, and after four or five seconds, said, "Okay then." Seeing him bend down and pick up the spider, carefully hide it in his pocket, and then walk forward quickly, seeing that we didn't keep up, he turned back and beckoned: "You guys are fast." ”

The three of us glanced at each other, and Xu Jiu asked: "You can find it without that 'Huahua'?" ”

The madman replied, "It's been two years since the pollen was carried on my body, and you can't smell it, but I can smell it." ”

Glaring one after another, "Then what do you ask that ghost spider to find?" You just lead the way. The madman shrank his head and whispered, "I'm not here to prove to you that 'Huahua' is capable of it." The reaction was to go up and kick him in the ass, causing him to scream: "You can't kick this, it hurt before." ”

I grinded my teeth, a little annoyed, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't lead the way, I'll kick it too." ”

The madman gave me a plaintive look, "Got it." Then he walked as fast as he could, and we all followed in silence until we stopped and looked up at a mountain that was not too high. I thought in my heart I wouldn't be going to climb over this mountain.

But when he saw the madman walking around the bottom, his nose kept sniffing hard, as if he were really smelling the smell. Suddenly, I heard him shout: "There you are, here!" "I immediately ran over to it, but there was nothing but the bare mountain wall, not even a crack or a gap. If you climb from here, it's not as steep as the other side.

Xu Jiu beside him whispered: "Crazy, be clear." ”

I saw the madman stomp his feet and said, "The source of the smell has been found." ”

"What about the man?"

He stomped his foot again in a hurry, "Didn't I say here?" Grinding his teeth one after another: "Crazy, are you looking for a fight?" ”

I seemed to understand what he meant, and my eyes fixed on the ground, "You mean...... In this underground? ”

"See? It's still the little box and I have a heart, and the two of you are elm heads. ”

Ignoring him one after another, he squatted down and knocked on the ground with his hands, and found a sharp stone and planed it twice, and the stone was seen two inches down from the soil, and there was a stone layer underneath. The madman looked at it and laughed, "I have a way." He took an iron cone out of his sack and was about to chisel it down. Reaching out to stop it, the iron cone hit the back of my hand, and immediately blood gushed out of the skin, and the madman was directly dumbfounded.

Xu Jiu hurriedly dragged my hand and scolded the madman: "Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?" ”

The madman looked at me with round eyes and said, "Little box, I didn't mean to. I pulled my hand out of Xu Jiu's palm, wiped the blood on my pants and said, "Can't chisel!" If he is down there, we will definitely attract others if we have such a big movement up there. "That's right, we'll have to find another place to get there." ”

To put it lightly, people are below the surface, and it is obvious that Qiu Yuebai is not taking this road, and it is really very likely that the entrance is on the other side of the mountain. However, even if we do climb this hill and find the real entrance, it is impossible that there is no one guarding it, and it will be so difficult to get to the surface of the earth.

Suddenly, Xu Jiu whispered: "I have a way." ”

Turning her eyes, I saw her walk a little farther to the side of the mountain wall, whistling softly in her mouth. This whistle has a special melody, with intervals between long and short lengths, and a sharp tone, which is somewhat stimulating to the human ear. I don't understand what she's doing when she's blowing the whistle, but I can see that she is waiting quietly one after another, but her eyes are shining and searching around, and there is a big question mark in my heart.

A moment later, I heard the familiar sound of a snort, and my back felt a sensitive chill. When there was really a snake coming out of the crack between the mountain wall and the ground, I glared at Xu Jiu in astonishment, she was calling a snake? At the same time, she knew what her solution was, and she wanted to use the snake to find or directly punch through the hole below the formation, so that the stone layer was brittle and crumbling when struck, so as to penetrate the passage to the place beneath her feet.

As I watched suspiciously, the snakes emerged from the surface and the mountain walls, and then all shrank back. It wasn't until all the sneering silence died away that Xu Jiu stopped whistling and smiled softly when he looked at me, "It's just a skill." ”

I have heard of a person called a snake repellent, who has been with snakes all year round, understands the habits of snakes, and can drive them with special signals. Could it be that Xu Jiu is such a person? Skimming away the doubts in my heart, I walked to the area, and saw that the ground near the mountain wall and the stone layer had many small holes of different sizes, and I couldn't help but ask: "How can those snakes have so many holes carved out in a short time without steel drills on their heads?" ”

Xu Jiu shook his head: "The pores are already there, but the surface layer is covered with some rock ash." It was only when I saw the snakeskins in the grass that I thought that they might have been there before, and that there must be a group of snakes hiding nearby. ”

Suddenly, I thought of something, and I was stunned and asked, "Before that, the fire burned a piece, and you also drove those snakes into the sea of fire?" ”

"I lit the fire, but the serpent was not. This place is very similar to Heizhugou, and there is also a large area of Hell Demon Star, which is a pure black skull-like flower, and I suspect that there is a medical team here who is using this flower to study medicine. The drug was first used on snakes, then animals, and finally people. After the sea of flowers was ignited, it was probably attracted by the smell of the flowers, so the snakes rushed into the sea of fire one after another like moths to a fire. ”

Hell Star? My heart sank, could the medicine used on Gao Cheng be refined and developed by this flower? Wait, Xu Jiu's voice has its meaning, snakes, animals, people...... They entered here on a different path than we did, that is, they didn't go through that passage, that is, they didn't see Wei Dong's group of people who were locked in cages and disordered, so who was the person she said was being drugged?

Squinted his eyes and asked directly: "Have you ever seen someone who has been given this medicine?" ”

Xu Jiu nodded hesitantly, and I grabbed her arm tightly in my heart and asked urgently, "How is that person now?" "I've seen not one person, but a group of people, who have basically become walking dead," she said. ”

"Is there anything special about that?" I asked, holding my breath.

Xu Jiumo looked at me and replied lightly: "Yes." His name is Aman, and he is an outlier in this group. He has been with wolves since he was a child, and his life habits are the same as those of wolves, but he is the king of humans and wolves, and his IQ is extremely high, so people's sanity has not been completely annihilated, otherwise I would have died at his hands back then. By the way, the signal to repel the snake just now was learned from him. ”

"So what happened to this man? Is there any onset? ”

Xu Jiu's eyes showed realization, but he said: "Xia Zhu, judging from the symptoms you described Gao Cheng, I am afraid that it is different from Aman's condition. I'm not sure if they're using the same medicine, at least I haven't seen him sick since I met him, and I haven't seen his eyes turn blood-red. Because Aman's eyes grew up with wolves, they glow green at night and can penetrate the darkness. ”

It's not the same...... I can't tell if it's disappointment or emotion, it feels like it's empty somewhere.

interrupted us one after another: "How long are you two going to talk?" Can't get in? "I turned my eyes and saw that a gap had been carved into the place that was large enough for a man to penetrate, and the madman was blinking at me.

Nodding without any hesitation, the madman and I followed closely behind, because it was a honeycomb-shaped hole drilled by a snake, it could not be regular, so sometimes up and sometimes down, fortunately, the stone layer was thin enough, and it shattered with a light knock.

While marching, Xu Jiu's mouth kept whistling, which should be expelling the snakes. As the crawl became longer, a graph appeared in my mind, and it felt as if it was getting farther and farther away from the space that the madman had previously identified as the location of the high city.

Suddenly, the madman at the front whispered: "Ah! He asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"That's it."

"What's going on?" As soon as this question came out, I heard a grunt, followed by the madman complaining in annoyance: "Why are you squeezing me? The voice came from below. Through the gaps around me, I saw that there was nothing in front of me. I was actually carved out of a ready-made passage by a madman, and my heart skipped a half-beat, and then I began to beat wildly.

There is such a passage itself, and it must lead to the interior.

Finally, I can change from crawling forward to standing, this time with the first step in front and the madman in the back. After only a short walk, I judged that I was heading in the right direction.

At the end of the passage, there is a huge karst cave, so large that you can't see the end at a glance. There are many stalactites on the top, and the stalagmites on the ground are of different heights, and after walking around it for a while, I feel that something is wrong. Xu Jiu asked with doubts: "Eh, Ah Xu, we seem to have been spinning in place." ”

Everyone stopped, and it was true, the stalagmite on the right hand side grew about a meter above the ground, and it was the highest one in this stalagmite area, and it was impossible to make a mistake. Squinted one after another: "This thing has set up a maze, and we are surrounded by it." ”

I gritted my teeth, "Let me go to the front, and you follow." ”

I can't wait to try again and again to find the right route, and since the shadow can take me through the night cemetery and the garden maze, I will definitely be able to walk through this stalagmite area. Walking in the front and closing his eyes, the first thing that comes to mind is the route of walking the stalagmite maze just now, and his fingers are gently dancing in the air to outline, and he starts to step after he has a general range.

Once again, I experienced the transparency of painting, in the dark world, as if I was pointing the pen to the country, and the area full of stalagmites is my drawing paper, where I clicked, where flowers bloomed. When the last stroke was lightly removed, I opened my eyes, and there were no stalactites and stalagmites in front of me, but a vast karst cave with a deep and secluded front. <
