“............”

The silence lasted for ten seconds, until Zhuang Ze sighed: "This, it's too scary." ”

The stench continued to stretch outward from the grooves, and its roots were the lumpy corpses of countless beasts in the grooves. Judging from the blocky structure, these beasts can range from gray rabbits to dual-attribute beasts. There are those who have turned into white bones, and there are those whose fur has not completely rotted.

What makes Zhuang Ze terrifying is not the thousands of rotting corpses, but the pile of corpses, the big mass of living creatures.

Let it go, it is indeed a large-winged bat, but the vestigial wings that are as thin as paper on both sides, and the belly as large as a horse's body, the belly is lying together, and through the thin skin, you can vaguely see countless small groups dense together.

"I suddenly felt like throwing up. Gui Qingchen turned his head and said, "What the hell is this?!"

"Like the queen ant," Stormcloud explained, "other creatures that live in the nest, like this individual as the source of the colony, we are generally called 'nest mothers'." ”

At this time, Scarlet saw a white bone like a human hand under it, frowned, and turned away. Zhuang Ze asked where to go, but Scarlet did not respond, and stopped after walking some distance from the groove. She drew a flint arrow and shot it upwards with a sharp whirl, and with a whoosh the flaming arrow stabbed into the 'nest mother'. Wrapped in flames, it did not scream, did not flutter its wings and struggle, only flipped awkwardly from side to side, and this slight movement did not affect the raging fire on its body in the slightest, and in less than a moment, its abnormally bulging belly dried up, leaving only a charred corpse with empty skin.

“......”

There was silence for more than ten seconds, and after the fire was completely extinguished, Zhuang Ze approached Gui Qingchen: "Your brother-in-law, you seem to be a little angry?"

"Like, it's a little. Gui Qingchen looked at the back of the scarlet man walking towards the entrance of the cave alone, and replied, "But, why?"

"You ask me how do I know!"

Except for the scarlet who was already standing at the entrance of the cave, the others groped along the wall again, and after repeatedly deciding that there were no foreign objects, they gathered at the entrance of the cave and prepared to return. After everyone left the void, Scarlet extinguished the embers scattered on the ground for lighting, and in an instant the entire space became as dark and void as it had been.

The second time I walked the road, it was much smoother, and in a blink of an eye, I saw the light that led to the outside of the world. What people didn't expect was that after coming out of the ground, the sky was twilight, and everyone thought that they would stay underground for only an hour or two, but they didn't expect that they would actually stay for an afternoon. The fresh air and cool breeze greeted us, and everyone removed the bandages covering their mouths and noses, enjoying the beauty that they usually didn't care about. Suddenly, there was a grunt, everyone looked at Gui Qingchen, and Gui Qingchen smiled embarrassedly: "As soon as you relax, you will be hungry." ”

Not to mention this sound, then Feng Fengyun and Chongqiyuan's stomachs also rang as if they responded to the call, and the two of them pretended to cough uncomfortably to cover up the past.

"Haha, it just so happens that I'm hungry too, let's bear with it and go down the mountain first, there are good things on the carriage. Zhuang Ze said with a smile.

The group took advantage of the fact that the night had not yet come, and hurriedly went down the mountain, and the three people behind Zhuang Ze talked and laughed, completely without the restraint when they came, as natural as if they had known each other for many years. "Thanks to him, it makes us feel a lot less stressed. Zhuang Ze looked at Gui Qingchen, who was mingling with his teammates, and said to Scarlet.

"Yes, it's nice to be with him," Scarlet replied, pausing and chuckling, "Not like me." ”

Zhuang Ze felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, because his image of the scarlet man has been like this since the first meeting: arrogant and cold, and he does what he wants. I didn't expect her to have such an idea. Zhuang Ze thought about it again and said, "It won't be uncomfortable. ”

Scarlet looked at him, Zhuang Ze struggled for a moment and continued: "I don't know how to describe it appropriately, just like the sky, you are not the glow of the sun, not the leisurely clouds floating in the air, but the entire blue sky background, which is conspicuous and inconspicuous. But no matter what else changes, it's always indispensable, supporting the entire sky composition, reassuring and allowing people to play with it in the future. I think you're definitely that kind of character in the team...... Right, haha. Zhuang Ze scratched his head, he didn't know what he was talking about.

Scarlet blinked after hearing this, as if she understood and as if she didn't understand, but she probably knew what he wanted to express, and smiled softly: "Thank you." ”

"Yes, Brother Xiao is super strong!Super relieved!" I don't know when Gui Qingchen leaned over and said righteously.

"Wow Qingchen, don't eavesdrop on others!" Chong Qiyuan tugged at the placket of Gui Qingchen's shirt and pulled him back. Then he glanced at it and said to Zhuang Ze: "Zhuang, in fact, you can think of something similar to say to Xiao'er." ”

"Chongqiyuan! Are you embarrassed to say that others are eavesdropping?!" Zhuang Ze was ashamed and annoyed. Chongqi looked indifferent from afar, and shook his head.

In the midst of laughter, they walked down the hill and returned to the carriage.

Zhuang Ze took out a large package from the carriage, which contained square lunch boxes, which he said had been prepared by the restaurateur last night. Among them, there are rice balls, braised pork, and stir-fried, and the portion is enough. The hungry few people had all the food in less than half an hour, and when they were full, they were left with only deep fatigue.

The night passed in a blink of an eye, and during the day, after everyone had slept enough, they set out on the return journey. It was still Zhuang Ze who drove the carriage, and the remaining four people sat in the carriage and chatted with each other. "Then again, you should be from the Han Blade Group, right?" Chong Qiyuan asked.

"Han Blade, Tuan?" Gui Qingchen on the side excitedly shouted Brother Han Blade.

"Because the most famous person in Yuanguo is Han Blade, but the team under his command does not have a fixed name like other regiments, so we will directly call it Han Blade Regiment. Feng Fengyun added.

I didn't expect that Brother Han Jian was quite famous, Scarlet thought to herself, after all, the two of her didn't know anything outside the window, and only knew that Han Jian was the strongest hunter she had encountered in the Yuan Kingdom, and she naturally didn't know about all kinds of rumors in other countries.

“...... It doesn't seem to be the case, with the high talent of the scarlet family, could it be that he went to a better team?" Chong Qiyuan asked again, "But, the Yuan Kingdom is a stronger group than the Han Blade Regiment?" ”

Gui Qingchen wanted to say that he was going to enter the Han Blade Regiment, but he couldn't say it for some reason, he thought for a while and said: "We didn't enter the big group, and now it's a three-person team headed by Sister Xiao'er." ”

"A squad starting from scratch?!Isn't that a lack of seniors and a lot of resources?Combat skills and everything have to be figured out by yourself?" Feng Fengyun sighed, why didn't he want to set up his own team for the leader, but as a newcomer, he didn't know anything when he first arrived, and one or two people couldn't do most of the tasks, so he could only choose and the best choice was to enter a large group led by seniors.

"Ugh. It's not that there are no seniors," Scarlet said as he remembered the long who often invited them, "but it's uncomfortable to live in others." "For Scarlet Child, you can accept whatever commission you want, you can set off when you want, and you are most comfortable with everything in your own hands.

"It's not surprising," Zhuang Ze, who was driving outside, heard the conversation and said, "I think it's not normal for the scarlet character to belong to other people's teams." ”

"Yes. "The wind and rain answered.

“...... In that case, in which group are you from? Gui Qingchen was suddenly curious about what kind of people from other countries were of the same level as Brother Han Blade.

Chong Qiyuan suddenly stood up and said proudly: "Hehe, our group is the strongest hunting group in the country——— Pi Tianlian!"
