Chapter Twenty-Six: Black Smoke

It's like climbing a mountain, walking all the way up in the burrow, only to feel that the air is getting thinner and thinner. I was panting like an old cow, and I didn't know how long I had climbed, and I felt like I was about to collapse.

The girl let me pour a few more mouthfuls of the Yellow Crane Tower. When she took out the flask and handed it to me for the third time, I shook my head and said I couldn't drink it anymore, and if I drank it again, I would really have to lie here.

I was dizzy and dizzy, and I suddenly felt fluttery, and I didn't feel so tired anymore.

The scene around me was always a dark stone of dirt, so boring that I began to feel sleepy in a few moments. I looked at my feet, counting the steps to try to refresh myself, and after a while, I saw something black popping up on the ground from time to time.

The thing was slender, with fingers long, as if it still had feet and tentacles.

I got up and looked closely, and I saw that it looked like some kind of black bug, very strange, a bit like a stick insect, but bigger. What's even stranger is that these bugs are either all dead or hibernating? The corpses were lined up on this step.

There were so many strange things in this door that I was only curious for a while, and after a while I lost interest.

After walking for a while, my feet began to become slippery, and water flowed down the cracks in the stones. When I touched it, one hand was blood-red, and it was the cinnabar water.

After Xiao Rong Palace, he pushed me from behind from time to time. After crawling for a long time, I almost fainted from exhaustion, when my nose suddenly hit the girl's big backpack.

"What? How did it stop? I asked taking a step back.

"It's over." The girl looked at it for a moment, then turned around and said, "There seems to be an exit ahead." ”

As soon as I heard this, I started to get nervous again. I don't know if I will encounter greater and more terrible dangers after going out, but after going up for so long, it stands to reason that I should not be far from the ground. I didn't make a sound, waiting for the first few Xuanyuan people to make a decision.

In the distance, I saw those people tinkering for a while, and suddenly, a dazzling light came into my eyes. After staying in the dark for too long, my eyes could not adjust to the light, so I hurriedly covered it with my hands, and after a long time, I could dimly see that there was a circular exit from the top of the cave not far away, leading straight to the ground.

When I saw this, I was amazed and glad. The Xuanyuan people stepped on the steps and slipped out. The girl hurriedly followed, but her backpack was too big and stuck in the hole, and I pushed her hard underneath to push her out.

Standing at the bottom of the cave and being illuminated by the sun, I instantly felt like a spring breeze. I didn't think much about it at the moment, and climbed up in three or two steps.

The first second I got out of the hole, there was a puff of moisture on my face, and when I saw it, there was fog in the garden. Fortunately, the fog is not thick, gathering and scattering, through the mist around, I see that I am in a pavilion, there is a stone tablet in the center of the pavilion, and the stone carving is carried by Xuanwu. And we just got out of the hole behind the stele.

I saw a few big words written on the stone tablet - "Drink with whom", I don't know what the purpose is.

The pavilion sits on a small mound surrounded by green grass and a winding stone path connects the pavilion to the dense forest in the distance. As far as the eye can see, the forest is full of beech, ash, elm, etc.

Among them are also a few very peculiar trees, with red stems and long, narrow leaves, one on top of the other, stretched out like umbrellas. The branches of the tree are covered with red yul, which hangs down to the ground.

Seeing the tree, the Xuanyuan people suddenly became excited, and while saying something loudly, they rushed towards the dense forest.

I guess it must be the herb they're looking forβ€”horse chestnut.

The Xuanyuan people went to the bottom of the tree and hurriedly picked the leaves on the tree, and after the leaves were picked, they stuffed them into a small leather bag around their waists, and after a while, the small bag was stuffed with bulging bags.

"Where is this? After walking around the ground, I couldn't figure out the direction. The girl said, looking at me, "Mother, what now?" ”

Mommy...... Is this calling me? Why did you change my nickname again?! I was upset, and I said that the girl thought I was verbose or something? You call me that!

"Don't mess with nicknames!" I said angrily, "I'm not a nanny, I'm not a woman, I'm really angry if I talk nonsense!" ”

The girl ignored me and looked around, "Come on, in my opinion, let's rest in place first, and wait for those Xuanyuan people." Maybe they will come up from here in a while, and then we can discuss the next countermeasures together. ”

As she spoke, the girl had already put down her backpack by herself, sat down in front of the stone tablet, and then lit a bunch of signal cigarettes to signal Dadong. At the moment, I was also very tired, I couldn't care about it so much, and my legs fell down when they were weak.

Xiao Rong leaned against the stone pillar opposite us, resting with his eyes closed.

The fog slowly dissipated, and at this time the sun had set over the western mountains, and from this mound, I could only see the curling sky, and an orange-red sunset between the two mountains. On that day, the head was like a ripe persimmon, driving away the flying clouds and mist, and slowly dived into the horizon. The scenery was so beautiful, I was intoxicated by it, and I was feeling calm and peaceful, when I suddenly heard the girl giggling and laughing.

I looked at her and saw that she had a pair of headphones in her ear, listening to something. I was so disturbed by her shrill laughter that I removed one of her headphones and asked her what she was listening to.

"Guo Degang's cross talk collection." The girl said, handing me a headphone, "Are you listening?" It's funny. ”

My face darkened, and I waved my hand to say that I was not in the mood. I thought to myself, this girl lacks heart and eyes, or what's wrong? At this juncture, she doesn't even know if she will live or die in the next second, she still has the heart to listen to cross talk? It seems that a lot of babies are smooth, and they are in a good mood.

I'm not as heartless as a girl, and I can't sleep when I close my eyes, so I simply took out the seven-cornered compass to study.

Bright light outdoors and better sightlines. When I held the compass in my hand, I looked at it and found that it was actually two layers of fastened together. With a suffrage of his hand, it opened from the middle like a box.

The lower part was thin, like a lid, and the brass inside was as shiny as gold. If you look closely, there is also a row of small letters engraved on this lid.

I was so energized that I immediately squinted to make out the words. After reading through both sides, I pondered it carefully, and my heart suddenly became clear.

It turns out that this thing is really a compass! Back then, Jing Lianhong did leave seven "Tuli Gates" in the world, and this compass is a treasure used to point to the seven "Tuli Gates"!

This is written in small print like a manual, and if you point the peripheral pointer to the name of the "figure", the center pointer will turn to guide the direction.

I was curious and wanted to try it, so I didn't think much about it, so I turned the pointer on the periphery to the title of the picture, "Yin and Yang". In an instant, the pointer in the center turned and pointed in a certain direction. No matter how I move my body, the pointer always points in that direction, and it seems to be quite accurate.

I couldn't help but laugh.

I don't know what kind of technology was used to achieve this kind of positioning function in ancient times, but in itself, it is very unimaginable that people can enter the world in the "map", so it is not interesting to delve into this, that, and that.

But, as much as it's a good baby, it's not doing me much good these days. I can't just run around this "door" a few times when I'm fine, right? If I could, I would like to say goodbye to this hellish place for the rest of my life!

Leaning against the stele, I put the compass away, and there were a lot of things stuffed in my pockets, and it was already bulging. I pinched the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes.

I don't know if it's because the wound is a little infected, but I feel like I'm having a low-grade fever and my brain hurts for a while.

The sky slowly darkened, and the Xuanyuan people were almost busy, and walked back from the forest in high spirits. At this moment, I don't know if I was dazzled, but I saw a black mist rising from the sky behind the forest.

I rubbed my eyes, and my heart said that I was tired and hallucinating? How could I see that the black mist was so magical, and there seemed to be a golden flash in it, like a black flame burning in the air, slowly drifting towards this side.

I poked the girl and told her to see what it was. She removed her headphones and stood up to look.

"It's a mosquito, right?" The girl said.

Mosquito?

Hearing this, my heart trembled, and I said that such a large swarm of mosquitoes, if it really flew over, it would be terrible! Where can a few of us suck this little blood? You have to be bitten into a dry corpse. I hurriedly got up and shouted at Xiao Rong to wake up and find a place to hide, and then I heard the girl scream again.

"No, no, it's not a mosquito...... the girl wondered, "It's strange, what the hell is it?" How do you seem to have Mars? ”

The girl's words made me even more inexplicable, but I suddenly remembered one thing, and I remembered that the note my mother had left was written on it: You must go back indoors before dusk...... Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly waved to those Xuanyuan people, "Hurry up!" Hurry up! ”

It's a pity that they don't seem to understand, and they spread their hands and muttered something. At this moment, the black mist was already very close, and when I saw it, my hairs stood on end instantly!

I'm grass his grandma! Countless golden flame insects are overwhelming.

The golden flames burned brighter and brighter, and after a while, the sunlight was almost obscured.

I'm going crazy! I saw that among the black insects, there were many blue insects, and the fire on their bodies was also blue. The glasses weren't mentioned at the time, and I don't know what they are. Looking at this scene, my whole back was numb, and I yelled "go back to the hole", turned around and prepared to hide in the hole behind the stele.

But I was completely stupid when I saw it, the entrance to the cave disappeared at some point, and there were ordinary stone bricks on the ground. I stomped my foot a few times, but didn't move, thinking that it must be another trap door, and it closed automatically while we weren't paying attention.

Zhengjue was cornered, and at this moment, the golden flame insect had surrounded the Xuanyuan people who were walking at the end. However, the Xuanyuan man was also clever, and hurriedly released the white bird in his pocket. The birds flew around the Xuanyuan man, biting all the golden flame insects that approached, and he was not injured.

"Mom, what should I do?" The girl asked me.

"Go down the hill and find a house to hide!" As soon as I finished speaking, I turned around and saw another Xuanyuan man's face bitten by the blue bug.

He covered his face and ran towards us as fast as he could, but before he had taken two steps, his face began to change......
