Wu Zhiyuan was stunned by this wild split, he used the wooden sword body as a board, and each split was equivalent to hitting a board on the snail's head, because it did not cause substantial damage to the huge snail, but only temporarily knocked it unconscious.

"Run!" The Moon Shadow Fuxian on the side suddenly shouted, signaling Wu Zhiyuan not to fall in love with the war, and the latter hurriedly put away his sword and followed the Moon Shadow Fuxian into the bushes.

The trees on the top of the hill are mainly pine trees and shrubs are scarce, and when the two men burrowed out of the circle of bushes around the swamp, they saw a pine forest with uneven layers, which were hardy and drought-resistant, and were mostly used in the northern mountains.

The woods were inaccessible and directionless, so the two of them could only run in the opposite direction of the swamp, and ran for four or five miles in one breath before stopping to breathe and rest.

The cool breeze on the top of the mountain, looking around, the pine trees are dark green, and the rest of the trees have already withered their leaves, coupled with the sunset, it looks particularly desolate and cold.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, it was very dangerous to walk around in this strange deep mountain at this time, so the two decided to find a place to avoid for the night, and then wait for the opportunity to go down the mountain at dawn tomorrow.

Wandering aimlessly, they soon saw a dark cave not far away, and the two glanced at each other and walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave.

The entrance of this cave is rocky, the stone wall in the cave is not smooth, it looks like a natural formation, the cave is pitch black, and the bottom is not visible, but the two of them just want to be able to stay away overnight, so they don't want to sleep in the wild, so they don't continue to explore the cave, only settle down in the inside of the cave.

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the wound on Moon Shadow Fuxian's left shoulder with concern, and found that those tiny needle-like wounds seemed to have begun to heal, and no blood beads were oozing.

"The snail has dense fine teeth in its mouth, which is why it leaves such a wound, but its saliva seems to have the effect of stopping bleeding, so it will not bleed even if it is bitten." Seeing Wu Zhiyuan's concerned eyes, Moon Shadow Fuxian couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness in his heart.

Wu Zhiyuan gently closed the clothes of Moon Shadow Fuxian, and also felt that what she said was reasonable, snails are blindly high-grade Chinese medicinal materials, and he had seen the fifth uncle prepare Chinese medicine containing snail carapace when he was a child. Despite this, such a huge snail will still make people tremble, Moon Shadow Fuxian picked up a bunch of branches, and asked Wu Zhiyuan if he had a fire fold, Wu Zhiyuan touched his whole body, only to find that there was no one on his body at all, I don't know when it was lost, but fortunately, the temperature on the top of this mountain at night was not too low, and the two of them leaned on each other, and they didn't feel cold for a while.

The moonlight was bright, shining on the rocks outside the cave, and it was a miserable white. Wu Zhiyuan hugged the Moon Shadow Fuxian, leaned his back against the stone wall, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, in fact, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and what happened in his mind was the strange things that happened during the day.

The wind was strong at the top of the mountain, but it was early winter at this time, and everything was silent, so except for the sound of the wind, the cave was really strangely quiet.

About the second watch, suddenly there was a slight "rustling" sound outside the cave, the sound was so subtle that if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all. Wu Zhiyuan suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, he saw that the light in the cave suddenly dimmed, and a huge shadow blocked the entrance of the cave.

Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback, and at a glance he recognized that it was the snail that was blocking the entrance of the cave, but he didn't expect it to be able to find here. He gently picked up the wooden sword that was placed aside, and at the same time gently shook the Moon Shadow Fuxian in his arms.

Moon Shadow Fuxian was only in a light sleep, and he woke up after being shaken, and he also saw the change in the entrance of the cave, so he hurriedly got up, and the two of them retreated towards the cave while guarding the entrance of the cave.

Judging from the height and width of the cave, it seems that the snail at the entrance of the cave can get in, which is extremely disadvantageous to the situation of the two people, who only hope to enter the dark part of the cave, and the snail's vision cannot perceive the existence of the two.

The snail just stuck in the hole, and it didn't seem to have any intention of entering the hole. The two retreated more than ten zhang into the cave, then stopped in place, observing the changes in the entrance of the cave.

Time passed by minute and second, and the two sides were at a stalemate, at this moment, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly asked A faint fragrance, this smell is strange, and it seems familiar, he is recalling where he smelled this smell before, and suddenly felt that the root of his ear and neck was lightly touched by a soft thing, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill all over his body, turned his head to look, and almost screamed.

I saw that behind the two of them was a huge carapace, the carapace faintly glowed with a faint blue light, and it was actually a snail again, perhaps because it was too close, this snail seemed to be bigger than the one at the entrance of the cave.

When did this monster run behind them? Its carapace glowed with blue, and it stands to reason that the two of them could not have been unaware. But at this time, the danger was abnormal, and there was no time to think too much, Wu Zhiyuan grabbed the Moon Shadow Fuxian and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.

The two stopped not far from the entrance of the cave, and the inside and outside of the cave were equally dangerous, so they could only stand in the middle of the two and wait for the change.

Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian were back to back, one staring at the entrance of the cave, and the other looking at the cave.

"These two snails are one male and one female, the one at the entrance of the cave is the male, and the one in the cave is the female." Moon Shadow Fuxian said in a low voice.

"How do you know?" Wu Zhiyuan stared at the snail at the entrance of the cave and asked without looking back.

"It's very simple, the carapace at the entrance of the cave doesn't glow, and the carapace in the cave glows with a faint blue light, which means that it lives in a deep and simple place, so the carapace is covered with a layer of glowing things, and if I guess correctly, these glowing things should come from the bones of dead people. The female inside the cave is responsible for giving birth, and the male snail outside the cave is responsible for foraging, and the snail likes to eat rotten things, so the male will throw us into the swamp, presumably to store food for the female in the cave. Moon Shadow Fu Xian explained, his eyes were always fixed on the glowing snail in the cave, and the snail was also immovable, but the two tentacles trembled irregularly, as if communicating with the snail at the entrance of the cave.

Hearing the explanation of the Moon Shadow Fuxian, Wu Zhiyuan instantly understood that the bones of the dead had been buried in the ground for a long time, and they could indeed emit a faint blue light, which was the most common phenomenon in cemeteries, and the blue light fluttered and was often mistaken for a ghost fire by uninformed people. Thinking of an ancient tomb in the middle of this mountain, it can be explained that this snail can emit light.

"In this way, those dense snails at the top of the Imperial Tomb passage below should have hatched from them." Wu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Moon Shadow Fuxian nodded, and said in a nervous tone, "It seems that we are in trouble this time, we have broken into their lair." ”

As soon as Moon Shadow Fuxian's words fell, he saw that the snail tentacles in the cave suddenly stopped shaking, and the huge carapace began to move in the direction of the two of them.
