Chapter 223: Searching for the Medal

Entering the barren stone cave, the light dimmed, and a humid and sultry breath came to his face, Yue Yi carefully looked at the situation in the cave. The space inside the cave is large, and the rocks inside the mountain wall are not smooth, making it ideal for climbing. On both sides of the mountain wall, there are traces of deliberate carving, I don't know what weapons and methods were used to directly dig the mountain wall, forming stone stairs of different sizes, extending to the top of the cave.

The stone staircase has been smoothed out, and it seems that it is frequented by many explorers every day. Yue Yi didn't rush to go up, but walked out of the cave, and the more he walked inside, the more he felt that this barren stone cave was magical. There are countless stalactites of all sizes in it, the forms are different, such as the humanoid Buddha image, like birds and beasts, such as the vine hanging, like the glacier snow ridge, the wonder is natural. There are also many stone branches, stone flags and exquisite stone flowers growing in the cave.

Yue Yi observed the structural characteristics here while walking, there are mountains and rivers in this cave, the cave is undulating, secluded and tortuous, sometimes narrow and rugged, sometimes grand and open, stalactites have different shapes, which can be called wonderful. These places can block the view, and it is a good place to hide treasures, and perhaps by accident, you will dig up a treasure in the stone flower or in a corner.

There are also a lot of stone trees growing in it, and finally they are connected into one, dividing the originally wide barren cave into several small caves, barely enough to accommodate one person to walk into it, similar to a natural cave maze, and one is likely to get lost in it if you are not careful. Yue Yi stood in front of these holes, looking at the people who came in and out, some were lone wanderers, some were mercenary teams, and some were treasure hunters who were improvised patchwork together, no matter who they were, they would be very vigilant about the surrounding environment, and they would look very carefully everywhere they looked, for fear that if they were not careful, they would miss any treasures.

To find the palm-sized Earth Medal in such a large cave, Yue Yi is powerless to complain in his heart, this city lord will really think that he can use this Earth Medal to increase the popularity here, if someone finds the treasure, it will attract more people to come here, no wonder the Wasteland City can become one of the five major cities, which is indispensable to the credit of the mysterious Wasteland Cave.

"Until now, no one has found the three major forces, and it seems that if you want to go to the bottom of the cave, you must enter this labyrinthine small cave. Touching his chin, Yue Yi was thinking about which cave to enter, when he suddenly sensed a group of people walking towards him behind him, he raised his eyebrows, turned around, and carefully looked at the group of people walking towards him.

This group of people are all about the same age as him, about ten, and the first one is a man with a folding fan and a proud look, this person looks ordinary, but the clothes on his body are extremely luxurious, and he is the son of a big family at a glance. In this barren stone city, some small and medium-sized families need to be born by relying on the big family, so the younger generation will also divide the power, usually a few people are in groups everywhere to show their identity, and it can be seen at a glance that behind this man should be the children of some small and medium-sized families.

A pale-faced man walked out of the crowd, glanced at the green cow next to him, and then looked at Yue Yi and said: "Under Yu Xiuyong, this is one of the top ten families in our Wasteland City, the son of Yan Hong of the Yan family, this time he entered the cave to find the Order of the Earth. Looking at your appearance, you should also be looking for the Order of the Earth, you are good, you can join our team and go to find it together. ”

I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, this seemed to be an inquiry and discussion, but it was actually a tone of command, which made Yue Yi very uncomfortable to listen to. These people are also in the bronze mirror stage, and the highest strength is still the son of the Yan family, but he is similar to himself, but he doesn't know if this foundation is solid. With the lineup of their group of people, if they just look for the medal of the earth, it should be more than enough, it is estimated that in addition to looking for the medal, they will also go on an additional expedition, which seems to be a temporary decision, otherwise how could the children of these big families not bring some bodyguards with them?

"Sorry, I'm used to it alone, farewell. ”

Yue Yi didn't bother to pay attention to these people, the children of this kind of family, they would only think about their own safety in times of crisis, and if they wanted him to join the gang, they would undoubtedly be the first to explore the way, and they would just have a helper when they were in danger, and they really thought that he was a fool? Even if he found the Order of Earth, it must be obtained by this Yan Honggongzi, he didn't have the time to accompany the disciples of this kind of big family to explore and hunt for treasures, after speaking, he patted Xiaotian's bull's head, turned around and walked directly past this group of people, he decided to go to the top of the cave first to look carefully.

"Hehe, in Xia Yan Hong, but also ask a friend to sell face, we just came down from the top of the cave, and did not find any soil medal, so we decided to enter the bottom of the cave, in such a large barren stone cave, one more friend, is equal to one more road. Yan Honggongzi only smiled at Yue Yi's refusal, and the corners of his mouth had an inexplicable meaning.

In this regard, Yue Yi just nodded flatly, and walked towards the direction of the stone stairs in front of him without the slightest stop, leaving only everyone with unhappy faces.

"Yan Gongzi, this person's strength is okay, if he is dragged into the gang, he can become our thug when the time comes, and when he discovers the Order of the Earth, he can also be forced to hand it over with our joint efforts, just within the control range, can you just let him go?" Yu Xiuyong, as the number one master in the team, said respectfully to Yan Honggongzi.

"It's okay, but no one in this barren stone city dares to take my Yan Honggongzi's words as wind in their ears like this, if you meet this person at that time, you want this person to remember us. Yan Honggongzi sneered, beckoned, and led everyone into the small hole.

Yue Yi took Xiao Tian to step on the stone stairs, and then walked towards the top of the cave, the places that his hands could touch, were polished smooth by these explorers, and he was immediately stunned, it seems that these explorers are really like locusts, and wherever they pass, they want to move away even the stone steps and stone walls.

This stone staircase is not too wide, it can only accommodate the distance of three people in parallel, don't underestimate this detail, even with Yue Yi's strength, if you want to make a stone staircase, it is estimated that it will take an hour. This cave is dozens of zhang high, and it seems that the ancestors also took great pains to make such a huge project.

After walking for about a stick of incense, Yue Yi didn't know where he was already in this kind of mountain, when he looked to the side, it was like an endless abyss below, pitch black, if it was a misstep, it was estimated that he would have to fall into meat sauce. This is not the most terrible, what makes people the most nervous is when someone on the opposite side comes down, the moment the two pass by, if one of the people against the wall has a bad heart and pushes you out, then he will definitely die, this kind of thing occasionally happens in the barren stone cave, Yue Yi heard this kind of thing when he eavesdropped on the conversation outside, so he will be vigilant in his heart.

Whenever the two sides meet, they want to choose the side of the wall, which is safer, if both sides do not give in to each other, it is a very tossy thing. Of course, the probability of this kind of thing happening is not too high, the moment the other party falls, they will also subconsciously pull you, then the final result is that the two of them fall together, so the people against the wall do not dare to have this kind of evil intentions, and at the same time joke about other people's lives, they are also irresponsible for their own lives.

With Xiao Tian following behind him, Yue Yi enjoyed the honorable treatment, those who came to him looked at Yue Yi very vigilantly at first, and did not want to give up the position of the mountain wall, but after seeing Xiao Tian behind him, he smiled bitterly directly, and then took the initiative to give up the position of the mountain wall and let Yue Yi and Xiao Tian go together. At first, Yue Yi was still a little surprised, but when he walked over, he saw that the other party was relieved to understand what was going on, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

As a strange beast, Xiaotian is slightly larger, occupying space for two people to walk alongside, only enough for one person to walk over. These people would rather risk falling and choose to go outside than pass them by from the outside. With Xiaotian's weight and volume, in case these people accidentally fall down, they can also catch Xiaotian as soon as possible to save their lives. If Xiao Tian fell from beside them, maybe the oxtail flicked and hooked their thighs, it was impossible to pull Xiao Tian up with their strength, and the final fate would definitely fall together, so they had to make a humble concession to Yue Yi, even those short-tempered mercenary teams.

After another half an hour, Yue Yi began to gasp, the heavy gun behind him was still very heavy, it doesn't mean that you are used to the weight, you can ignore the existence of the heavy gun, in the continuous uphill journey, Yue Yi did not stop to rest once, it is also very good. He paused for a momentary rest, and then he noticed a detail with a keen spirit.

Above the stone wall next to him, about a foot away, there was a hole the size of a thumb, and if he hadn't stopped, he wouldn't have been able to find this small hole without his keen spirit, after all, on this stone step, no one would look for anything a foot above him, at most he would just touch it back and forth where his arm could reach. Yue Yi looked behind him and found that there were holes similar to the size of his thumb not far away, arranged very irregularly, some of them were one zhang away from the stone steps below, and there were two or three zhang away from each other, and these holes were not too dense.

Yue Yi suddenly had a whim, stepped on Xiaotian's cow's back, stood up, and with a slight jump, the index finger was inserted into the thumb-like hole, and when he withdrew his finger, he scraped some of the remaining dirt with his fingernails, stepped on Xiaotian's back steadily, jumped down, and then rubbed the dirt with his fingers, put it on his nose and sniffed it, his face changed suddenly, and his eyes became solemn at this time.

"This smell is blood......
