CHAPTER XXIII

The desert was full of fires, and the three of them took advantage of this time to fly to the water's edge of Lop Nur, and in the dark desert there was a figure standing with an unusual height.

"What is this?" Yu Ji blurted out, but the giant didn't speak, his arms shook, and there were two more 7-foot-long leather whips in his palms, which swept towards Yu Ji's waist with gusts of wind. Yu Ji turned around, grabbed the leather with his right hand, twisted it with his backhand, and turned it into a stick, resisting more than ten moves of this giant in a blink of an eye.

The giant, relying on his height, raised his whip, and whipped it down as if it had fallen from the sky. The giant's strength in the waist and abdomen was so great that with the toughness and inertia of the whip he could whip the sand in all directions.

At first, Yu Ji couldn't figure out this person's routine. At first, he could only let the whip fall like a fallen leaf, and all he could do was resist and dodge. Gradually, Yu Ji observed something, and he found that although this giant had great strength, his body was very slow. After a few ups and downs, the giants couldn't catch up with him. It's just that this man doesn't chase him, he just guards in front of a hole, and he doesn't want to waste a little more strength on you after you jump five battles away.

Wu Zhiheng and Lin saw that Yu Ji did not have much trouble dealing with this person, so they decided to take the first step and leave Yu Ji to deal with him. They were going to go around the giant's back to find a way into the hole. It's just that the two of them just walked behind the giant, and the giant suddenly seemed to conjure two hands again, the essence in the palm was shining, and as soon as a short sword was shot, the light of Sen Han had already arrived in front of Lin He.

Although this sword qi is fast, it's a pity that Lin He shot faster, her waist bent back a great bend, not like the arc that a person can bend, flew up and kicked the short sword, twisted the giant's arm with his backhand, and the force sank into the dantian, taking root under his feet, pulling and dragging, he actually dragged the entire giant down.

Soon, three dwarfs came out of the giant's clothes one after another, one with a whip, one with a scabbard, and one with his hands on his waist.

"What the hell is this?" Yu Ji asked as he looked at the little potato on the ground.

"Rude! We are Zhang Tian", "Zhang Di", "Zhang I, three brothers!" The three of them reported their names in turn.

Lin couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, she couldn't stop laughing, so she had to giggle and ask, "What kind of combination are you?" Stacked Arhat Combo? ”

"Hugh is rude, our name is far and wide, the people in the rivers and lakes are called the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, the third in me, and the three brothers in the ground."

"Long up, long up, then can you give way and let us into the hole?" It's strange to hear it, how can Lin ask patiently.

"Naturally, it's impossible, unless the sky falls and I'm not there, otherwise you don't want to go over." The little potatoes said with their heads tilted.

Unfortunately, before they seemed to finish speaking, their powerful statements were muffled by a loud voice coming from behind. At this moment, Lin heard the sky behind her begin to rumble, and even the earth shook, and then a large dark cloud flew out from the sky. There was a person running in front of the dark clouds, and this person was Wu Zhiheng.

Wu Zhiheng shouted at Yu Ji as he ran, "Let these birds go away." ”

Yu Ji pursed his lips and shouted with a wry smile, "Big brother, this is a bat, it's a mammal, it's not under my control." ”

It turns out that there are millions of large bats inhabiting this cave, and every time dusk comes, the bats will pour out of the cold and dim cave. At this time, the Turks entered the cave, and it was not until dawn the next day that the bats returned to the cave. But today, the fire outside was soaring, and the temperature was rising, and the bats thought that it was about to be dawn, so they rushed back in advance.

"It's the sky falling." "It's subsidence." "That's why I'm not here." Zhang Tian, Zhang Di, Zhang I, and the three brothers shouted to perform the Escape Gong and burrow into the desert, only to see that the three small drum bags quickly disappeared.

Lin He was stunned for a moment, the words of these three gadgets were really speechless.

After she came back to her senses, she immediately got up and swept in the direction of Wu Zhiheng, and the three of them had already flown out five feet away in the blink of an eye. Then they burrowed into the burrow, but the bats behind them were faster, they spread their bodies, and moved forward with all their might, but no matter how fast they used, the distance between them and the bats was always four or five feet away, and they couldn't shake off. In addition, there is a lot of bat droppings in the cave that have not been cleaned up, which is disgusting and difficult to walk.

After running a little further, Lin He's eyes had adapted to the dark light, and she saw a large slope in front of the cave, so she jumped into the air a few times in a row, and gradually distanced herself from the bats. She had time to look down, and saw that the hole was deep, and there was a faint light coming from below. Lin thought, since there are Turks coming in this cave, then this light source may be left by the Turks.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Wu Zhiheng and Yu Ji both looked at Lin He, only to see Lin He gesticulating, signaling them to look ahead. Wu Zhiheng looked at it and found that there were two rows of ropes in front of him, and there were rows of steps in the ropes that went down all the way down to the bottom of the cave.

The three of them did not use the steps to descend slowly, but climbed a rope with their hands and feet, and then moved quickly and slid down the trend. The bat, however, only stayed in the upper part of the cave and did not follow. Even so, when the three of them saw the rope swaying, they didn't dare to stay too long, and slipped to the low end of the rope alone.

Signs of human activity are evident below, and ropes, wheels, and bamboo baskets for mules and horses are neatly placed on the ground. A row of iron pickaxe tools were nailed to the wall. However, looking around, there is no ventilation shaft underground, indicating that this is an underground cavern with natural ventilation. At the same time, there are no planks or stakes used for support, and it seems that there is no threat of collapse in the roadway. The walls of the cave are also nailed to the top of a row of lantern plates, on which are placed a row of night pearls of different sizes and shapes. The yellow fluorite emits a beautiful phosphorescence of yellow-green and reflects the stalactites in the cave, which is dazzling and dazzling.

Wu Zhiheng gently knocked on the charcoal curtain with his hand, and immediately there was a crisp and pleasant sound. "This is supposed to be a naturally occurring underground cave, not artificially mined." The formation of such a large natural cave, as well as the shape of stalactites, suggests that this place should be related to the water of Lop Nur.

Lin turned his fingers, and the air flow that popped up gently hit the Night Pearl. The night pearl shook slightly, and the three of them listened for a moment, and there was no other movement. Lin nodded, and Wu Zhiheng took off the three night pearls and put them in the baggage.
