This is obviously not a human footprint, although it is also a five-finger, but the comparison is not right.

The length of the five fingers of the human foot generally accounts for only about one-fifth of the whole of the foot, and the toes of the foot occupy almost half of the length.

The soles of the feet are wide in front and narrow in the back, a bit like a gorilla's footprint, but not that large, only two-thirds the size of an adult's palm.

I didn't think much about it, I immediately blew a whistle to call for backup, this thing appeared at the wrong time, it felt like it was coming specifically for me.

After following Huang Mao and Hu Lai for so long, I also learned some tracking skills, and after leaving a mark of recognition in place, I immediately chased after it.

Every now and then, I could spot a clear footprint, and it was clear that it was not hiding from me, but seemed to lure me somewhere.

This walk, and soon left the 100-meter distance limited by Huang Mao.

About three or four kilometers deeper, the footprints disappeared, and I suddenly lost my direction and didn't know what to do.

"Meng Lei, what's the situation?"

Soon, Huang Mao and Hu Lai rushed to hear the news.

When I told me about the strange things I had discovered, they both became suspicious.

Huang Mao said with certainty: "That thing is deliberately luring you here, it has the same effect as Feng Daniu, be careful, there must be something strange about this piece." ”

I nodded, hurriedly turned on the flashlight and looked around, and found that there was indeed a difference between this place and before, there were a lot of rattans, and the rattans were entangled with each other, like nets one after another, everywhere, on and under the trees, on the ground, and between the branches.

At first glance, I thought I had entered a spider cave.

"What kind of vine is this?" I asked, the rattan is black, and the rattan knots look well-proportioned and strong.

I was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that there are such rattan stripes on my nine-star roulette wheel.

I hurriedly flipped over the nine-star wheel in the palm of my hand and found that it was very similar.

"I don't know, but I feel that this rattan is gloomy, especially the ones underground." Hu Lai shook his head and said suspiciously.

"That's not right!"

Huang Mao suddenly thought of something, looked at his feet, drew his iron sword, and stabbed the rattan on the ground fiercely.

"Whoosh!"

The iron sword bent slightly, and then stabbed violently.

Huang Mao's face changed, and he said, "It's empty below!" ”

"What?"

"Won't it?"

Hu Lai and I were taken aback.

Then Hu Lai pulled out the iron sword, and Hu Lai and I took a look, and it was really dark underneath, not dirt, but a cave.

Hu Lai suddenly realized: "We are standing on top of a cave, and the dense rattan covers this place, making us mistakenly think that it is the ground, and the yin qi below is slipped up from the cave. ”

"Alert, I'll cut it open." Huang Mao Road.

We nodded, each on guard, Huang Mao waved the iron sword, kept cutting, busy for a few minutes, and suddenly a black hole appeared at our feet.

It was really a hole in the ground covered with rattan, and the rattan was layered on top of each other, about three feet thick, and as solid as the ground, so that we didn't even notice it for a while.

"What kind of hole is this?"

I shone the flashlight into it, and found that there were dead rattan rotten things everywhere underneath, and there were many things that resembled saprophytes, very damp, about five or six feet high.

Huang Mao folded a few glow sticks and threw them in, illuminating a small area, Hu Lai took a closer look, and said: "The cave is smooth and flat as a whole, and there is a clear tendency to extend downward, a bit like a dry river. ”

"The river?"

I was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly, there were many rivers with very large water in this wilderness, all of which were poured into the Falling Demon Abyss and disappeared, feeling as if they had been swallowed.

If the river is diverted, it is true that there will be a dry channel.

But the question is, what's different about such a river?

"Let's go down the terrain and see where it leads." Hu Lai thought about it and hurriedly said.

"Okay." Huang Mao answered, and immediately pulled some dead branches and leaves, hiding the cut hole, and then the three of them walked all the way along the relatively low-lying ground.

After about twenty minutes, we reached the edge of the cliff, but to our surprise, there was no estuary on the edge of the cliff, and there was no trace of the water washing away.

In other words, the river didn't rush under the Abyss in this area.

"Going somewhere else every now and then?" I tried to explain.

"No, the places we walked were all the lowest-lying places, and judging from the direction of the rivers before, almost all of them went straight to the Falling Demon Abyss." Hu Lai shook his head, and then said: "There can only be one explanation, it used to be an underground river, it did not flow through the surface, but dived into the Falling Demon Abyss from the underground, and that mouth should be the section where it jumped out of the surface." ”

"You mean, that river leads directly to the Fallen Demon Abyss?" Huang Mao was taken aback.

I was also shocked, since we came to this secret realm, and after almost two days of circling around, we haven't found any way to the Falling Demon Abyss.

Unexpectedly, there was a suspicious path here, and it was a dry dark river. This is exactly the same as the situation that occurred when we robbed the tomb in Jinpen Township.

No matter how tightly enclosed the place is, it can't prevent the changes of the underground river, which is like a "BU" set by God.

In this world, there is no perfect existence.

"Based on this alone, I am only fifty percent sure, but combined with the fact that something just appeared to lure us there, I am ninety percent sure." Hu Laidao.

Huang Mao nodded, "That's right, that's the truth, we can't enter the door, and the existence that lured us to come has made arrangements for us at the most critical point." ”

"That'...... Should we go down? "I have a chill down my spine.

To be honest, this feeling of being calculated step by step is unpleasant and even more disturbing, because I don't know whether this temptation is good or malicious. Judging from the fact that Feng Daniu was so fascinated that he was tired of spinning in place and cramping all over his body, I am afraid it is difficult to call it kindness.

But Grandpa's letter said that his coming here was not accidental, but inevitable.

At this point, I didn't dare to stop, for fear that I would miss something, and after this village, there would be no more such shop.

"Now that you've found it, let's go down and take a look." Hu Lai said, "But not now, wait until tomorrow during the day, it will be safer." ”

Huang Mao and I both nodded, the yin qi was too heavy at night, so for the sake of caution, it was safer to wait until dawn to speak.

So we returned to the campsite, and Cao Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw us coming back, and said, "Damn, what's the situation, I'm scared to death?" ”

We briefly explained the matter, Cao Nan was also shocked, and said: "This is the lack of a door, in a bizarre place, there is also a way to arrive, if not, it is just that the road has not been found." ”

After that, we talked a little more, and we were already a little tired, so we planned to take turns to sleep at night.

I asked the three of them to sleep first, and in the middle of the night Huang Mao woke up to replace me, lay down, and fell into a deep sleep.

But I didn't sleep long before Huang Mao woke me up and said in a very small voice, "Don't move, there's a situation." ”

I was shocked, and immediately my pajamas were gone, but I didn't move, and I didn't open my eyes.

The yellow-haired fingers reached out to the palm of my hand, and wrote on it, forming a sentence: That thing appeared again, in the direction of five o'clock when you sat up, fifty meters away, and after a while I got up to relieve it, and you caught it while it was slack.

With a movement of my fingers, I wrote the word "good" in the palm of his hand. Yellow hair is very smart, this is paralyzing it with a meter.

Then Huang Mao got up and walked in the direction of twelve o'clock, away from the thing, and soon there was a sound of waterproofing from there.

I slammed the ground to my feet, turned around and ran in the direction of five o'clock.

And at the same time, jumping up with me were Hu Lai and Cao Nan.

Huang Mao, this is a bubble and three rings!

This strategy really worked, you know, we are all cultivators, and the distance of fifty meters is only a few breaths.

But we jumped out twenty or thirty meters before the black shadow reacted, turned and fled.

This time, it was finally clear that it was an ape-like thing, covered in dark red hair, and it ran so fast that the undulating terrain was flat to it.

I was the fastest, but I found that I couldn't close the distance, and I was a little anxious.

At this moment, Hu Lai shouted and said, "Meng Lei, don't chase it." ”

I was stunned, and hurriedly stopped, and with just one effort, the thing was completely gone.

"Come on, Leizi, it's left something." Cao Nan returned to Hu Lai and looked at it, and immediately beckoned to me.

I had doubts, immediately ran back, and when I looked, I saw that the bark of a tree next to me had been stripped off, leaving a line of words on it: Going down to the abyss overnight, there is trouble in the morning.

I was immediately surprised, this ghost thing looked like an evil thing, but this handwriting can be called calligraphy, the font is strong and powerful, and it is three points into the wood.

"Good word!" Hu Lai also praised and said, "This thing is not a human change." ”

"What do you mean, let's go down the abyss overnight?" Cao Nan said, and asked again: "Tianming is in trouble, what trouble?" ”

I also wondered, trouble, could it be that when the dawn comes, the dry dark river will disappear?

More importantly, should you listen to it?

Hu Lai groaned, his face was also uncertain, and he couldn't make up his mind.

After a pause, he said, "Go back and erase the words." ”

I nodded, pulled out my knife, and cut off the trunk of the carved tree, and the three of them returned to camp; After Huang Mao learned the content of the lettering, he also couldn't make up his mind.

Something written by something that doesn't gain our trust may be helping us or seducing us.

It's hard to decide.

After a pause, it was Cao Nan who opened his mouth and said, "Otherwise, ignore it, Feng Da Niu still has no ability to walk, so he can't be left behind, right?" ”

The three of us looked at Feng Da Niu, and all nodded slowly, Feng Da Niu has not fully recovered yet, it can be said that he is half paralyzed, we have no ability to move, unless we separate, leave one person to take care of Feng Da Niu, and the other two people go down.

But then the risk is high, our spells are all coordinated with each other, and none of them are indispensable.

Of course, there is another layer behind this, but we didn't say it, the existence that lured us here was calculating every step of the way, almost calculating us to death.

And the line just now shows that there seems to be something wrong with its calculations, it is in a hurry, we have "autonomy" for the first time, and in the face of such a situation, of course we have to jump out of the rhythm it sets and add or subtract some variables.

So, we chose to ignore it and continued to take turns keeping vigil and sleeping.

The second half of the night was peaceful, and we slept until the sun rose before we began to pack our things.

After a night's rest, we are all back in shape, full of energy, Feng Daniu is much better, and there are no major problems in terms of action.

After eating dry food for breakfast, we walked towards the location of the dark river.

As a result, when I passed by the tree where the words were written before, I was surprised to find that there was a new line of words on it: You are in trouble.

My heart jumped, and I had a very bad premonition, and Huang Mao and Hu Lai also frowned, shocked and uncertain.

"Boom ......"

"Rumble ......"

“……”

At this moment, on the distant skyline, a large tree fell with a bang, followed by a second and a third.

A huge ravine appeared in the ground, heading in the direction of the abyss.

In the rear, a number of figures faintly appeared, chasing behind the extended ravine.

"It's ......" Huang Mao's face changed drastically.

Hu Lai's eyelids jumped, looked at us, and slowly said two words: "Insect King." ”
