Chapter 31: The heart is pounding

In the dark, Liang Ruoyi and I held our breath, and Liang Ruoyi slowly turned around and faced the path.

We all know in our hearts that as long as we don't make a movement, those monsters won't be aware of our existence. They evolved in this dark environment, their eyes have been completely blind, but their sense of temperature or smell has also deteriorated, and the only one who is more developed than us normal people now seems to only have hearing.

"Rub-rub-" The voice got closer and closer, and finally after ten seconds, a white figure appeared in our vision, and the monster dragged a black thing, like the corpse of an animal.

It seemed that they had gone hunting, and the bones of the wild wolf found in the swamp outside should have been made by them. In that case, at least we can be sure that there is a way out here!

Because we were on this path, no more than seven or eight feet wide, they were coming towards us now, and if they hit it, they would be in trouble. Liang Ruoyi gently grabbed my hand in the dark, led me to turn around slowly, lightly pressed his back against the wall of the cave, and tried to hold his breath.

But at the same time, at the intersection, a second shadow of white flowers appeared, and in the surprised eyes of me and the ice beauty, the third appeared, followed by the fourth, and the fifth, and the sixth......

Damn, these monsters are still playing group attacks when they're hunting?!

It's really troublesome now, the six white monsters look very strong, if they are targeted, they will die for a lifetime!

Two of these monsters dragged their prey, but they did not walk quickly, and they seemed to be contented. From the intersection to me and Liang Ruoyi, it was about ten meters away, and they walked for more than ten seconds before they moved over.

Seeing the six monsters in front of me, I suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, and I didn't dare to make any movement, watching the first monster slowly walk in front of me dragging its prey.

The prey looked like a wild wolf. I thought to myself, these monsters are really powerful, and they must have their own tacit cooperation to be able to kill wild wolves without seeing them.

The first, walked over. Then came the second, the third, the fourth...... By the time of the sixth, he was also dragging a wild wolf, this monster looked the strongest, the muscles on his body were bulging, if it was a monster fitness champion, I would definitely vote for him!

He also walked smoothly in front of the two of us, but the wild wolf he was dragging had a problem.

Liang Ruoyi's feet were stuck to the stone wall in a zigzag shape, and I didn't notice this at all, and stood as usual. But something went wrong, and when the monster dragged the wolf passed me, its front leg tripped over my foot!

This caused the sixth monster to stop at once, and let out a low roar to stop his companion, and then, with an outstretched hand pressed against the stone wall, slowly touched me.

I forgot that if they walked this road every day, they would be very familiar with the terrain here, and they knew absolutely that there would be no stones or anything like that in my position to stumble the wild wolf in his hands!

Liang Ruoyi also thought of this, grabbed my hand and tugged it gently, motioning for me to follow her slowly towards the intersection.

At this time, I was already nervous and covered in cold sweat, and in the darkness, I couldn't see the monster's eyes clearly, but I only saw this white body slowly touching me, which was also an extremely terrifying scene.

I was pulled by Liang Ruoyi to move slowly to the intersection, small steps, light lifting, one step, two steps, three steps...... Maybe I was too nervous, and my steps began to get more and more messy, and finally, my outstretched right foot was too fast, and it tripped on the foot that Liang Ruoyi had just lifted.

Liang Ruoyi stumbled for a moment, took two steps, tried his best to minimize the sound he made, and after standing firm, he slowly turned his head to look at me, his face full of anger.

"Roar-" The monster naturally heard this voice, roared twice, and jumped over!

"Let's go!" Liang Ruoyi shouted, pulling me straight to the intersection, but we made a mistake again: obviously, the road that these monsters just went back from hunting is likely to be the exit, who knows that we are showing off, after running to the intersection, we actually subconsciously ran in the other direction, and when we ran a few steps and wanted to go back, those monsters had already chased after them......

We had no choice but to keep running. Liang Ruoyi reached out and took out two torches from his backpack, lit them and handed them to me: "They should be afraid of fire!" Take it! ”

I answered, and the monsters behind me were in hot pursuit, and in the darkness, only the sound of our messy footsteps and heavy wheezing could be heard.

After more than ten seconds, we came to a dead end again: there was a big crater in front of us, round, almost a foot in diameter, and there was still a road on the opposite side, but the contents of this pit frightened us all - including the group of monsters, who were also standing more than a foot away from us at this time, and stopped!

"W-What is this?!" I stared at the contents of the pit and involuntarily took a step back.

The pit was full of red liquid, and from time to time a few bubbles came out of it, which was creepy to look at. There is a fragrance in the air, which is refreshing, but the sight of those liquids makes people feel frightened.

"Ge Wei?!" I suddenly remembered what the Seventh Master had said before, the reason for Ge Wei's rot was that he fell into a pit in this Jinsu Mountain.

So, could it be here?! I turned my head to look at the six monsters, standing a short distance behind me and hesitating, and it seemed that my guess was correct.

"What should I do?" Liang Ruoyi also understood, looked left and right, and was a little helpless.

Going forward, there are pits that can make the whole body rot; Going backwards, there is a group of man-eating monsters.

"No wonder, they never come this way." I muttered, "Maybe there's another way over there." ”

"It doesn't matter if he has it or not, how can he pass it now?!" Liang Ruoyi glared at me and shouted.

"Pass from the side!" I pointed to the slightly protruding stone on the edge of the pit and said, "Speed up!" ”

"You think it's a 'happy rush'?" Liang Ruoyi can't wait to bite me to death.

I smiled wryly: "Then there is no other way!" ”

Liang Ruoyi looked at the surrounding terrain, and it seemed that as I said, there was really no other way.

After muttering for a while, Liang Ruoyi reached out and took out the rope from his backpack and tied the two of us together: "I'll be in front of you and you in the back, rush over together." These monsters will crawl over the cave walls, and I can tell you, if you want to die, you must not fall! ”

I looked at the protruding stones, which were just over a foot wide, swallowed, and nodded slightly.

"Let's go!" Liang Ruoyi saw me nodding, so he walked to the edge of the hole, patted me, and then ran over!

I didn't expect this beauty to be so fast, I wanted to step over step by step, but I didn't expect her to rush up directly, I staggered, hurriedly stabilized my body and followed, and threw the torch in my hand towards those monsters!

Those monsters are really afraid of fire, it is estimated that the temperature is not high here, and they have never seen fire, and they feel the torch thrown over, and the heat startles them, scatters in all directions, and then bypasses the torch and rushes towards us from all directions!

With a length of three meters, Liang Ruoyi and I successfully escaped by dodging the torches, and the monsters behind us also chased after them!

"This way!" Liang Ruoyi's eyes were quick, and he actually saw a dark path, pulled me into it instantly, and threw the torch in his hand to the other side!

With a "snap", the torch slammed heavily on the stone wall several meters away, and then fell to the ground again, and the monsters behind him chased after the sound, and the two of us stuck to the stone wall and escaped......

"Oh my God......" When I heard them running away and the footsteps were no longer audible, I let out a sigh of relief, hunched over and rested, trying to untie the rope with my hands, but I didn't expect my feet to slip, and I lost my center of gravity and fell down - the ice beauty god predicted, I really dragged her down......
