Chapter 282: Into Hell
After hearing the sound, Zuo Dengfeng rushed in front of the iron shoe, the iron shoe had consumed too much spiritual energy before, and Zuo Dengfeng didn't want him to waste any more spiritual energy.
The place where Thirteen and the boss made a sound was around the corner, Zuo Dengfeng flashed and found that the boss and Thirteen were besieging a strange creature, this animal has the size of a small mill for grinding tofu, it is round, there is no head and no brain, and its body is covered with many sharp bone spurs, the bone spurs are several inches long, a little like a hedgehog, but this thing is definitely not a hedgehog, because the hedgehog can't move after curling up, but the monster in front of him can roll quickly, not only can it roll quickly, but it also has a very purposeful surname, rolling left and right to attack Thirteen and the boss, Thirteen and the Boss must have suffered a loss before, but they didn't flinch, but attacked left and right to find an opportunity, but in the face of such a guy covered in thorns, they had nothing to do.
"Amitabha." The iron shoes followed, and when he saw this, he immediately wanted to go up and do it, he was reluctant to let the boss be stabbed, and the thirteen were chased and could climb the stone wall, but the boss couldn't go up the wall.
"I'll come." Zuo Dengfeng rushed in front of the iron shoes and sent out Xuanyin True Qi, he only emitted thirty percent of Xuanyin True Qi, the purpose was to make the hedgehog-like monster stretch out, to determine what kind of species it was, if it emitted ten percent cold qi, it would directly freeze the other party into ice balls, and there would be no way to figure it out.
When the cold air came, the monster that was still rolling wild before immediately slowed down, but it didn't stretch out, and Zuo Dengfeng was very puzzled when he saw this, could this thing be a thorn ball in the first place.
"Where did you get such a big hedgehog?" Iron Shoes looked at the thorn ball five paces away with interest.
"A hedgehog can't roll when it's curled up." Zuo Dengfeng increased the cold air again, and the thorny monster rolled more and more slowly, but there was still no sign of stretching.
"The colder it gets, the tighter it shrinks, and it's up to the old man to lower it." The iron shoes raised their hands sideways, emitting pure yang true qi.
When the heat came, the monster immediately let out a faint clattering sound, and after a while, the bone spurs subdued and lay down, and the iron shoes stopped the pure yang true qi when they saw this, and Thirteen immediately pounced on the monster whose bone spurs had been subdued, but it stopped halfway after feeling the temperature, and the boss was pierced quite badly before, and went up and scratched a paw in anger, the bone spurs were very hot, and it screamed and retreated.
No matter how powerful the animal was, it couldn't stand the hot and cold toss, and at this time the thorny monster was already half-dead and limp on the ground, like a deflated ball, and quickly deflated.
Zuo Dengfeng stepped forward to look at this animal that he had never seen before, what he didn't expect was that this animal was covered with thorns, even under the abdomen, there was a wine cup on its back, and there was also one at the back end, and the two holes were about the same size.
"Which is its mouth." Iron Shoes curiously leaned over to determine whether it was a mouth or a buttocks, but this thorn ball had no teeth.
"It should be the one above." Zuo Dengfeng looked sideways for a moment and said, in fact, he couldn't see which one was the mouth, but he just took it for granted that the ass should not be on his back.
"It's how it sees without eyes." Iron Shoes asked again.
"There's no light here, it's useless to have eyes, and what I don't understand now is how it eats." Zuo Dengfeng extended his aura and played with the deflated thorn ball, animals must have hunting organs, but this guy didn't, took a step back and said that even if it can stab its prey to death with bone spurs, it has no teeth in its mouth, how can it tear and swallow.
"I know, I know." Iron Shoes had a look of sudden realization.
"You know what?" Zuo Dengfeng does not think that Iron Shoes can participate in the analysis.
"Someone fed it." Iron Shoes said.
"Where are you from here, you better put on your clothes first." Zuo Dengfeng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but after laughing, he suddenly found that what the iron shoes said made sense, and the words of the iron shoes had a language problem, the so-called someone feeding should mean that there should be other animals feeding this thorn ball, this is not impossible, no matter which dynasty or generation, there are some gangsters who have no survival skills to help people fight for a living, this thorn ball is very likely to play this role, it provides protection for some small animals, in exchange for the other party to feed it.
Seeing that Zuo Dengfeng denied his guess, Tie Shoe muttered and tried to explain, but his thinking was broken and he couldn't express it clearly, Zuo Dengfeng still finished speaking, and then nodded in agreement.
"Thirteen, boss, open the way." Zuo Dengfeng put on his clothes and raised his hand to send out Xuanyin True Qi, completely freezing the thorn ball that was not yet dead to death.
"Amitabha." Seeing this, Iron Shoes couldn't bear it, his meaning was obvious, this thing no longer posed a threat to them, it seemed that there was no need to kill them all, once it died, the animals that depended on it for survival would also die.
"I have to make sure that the back road is clear, and if there is danger we can withdraw quickly." Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to glance at the iron shoes, and then followed Thirteen and the boss.
Thirteen got Zuo Dengfeng's instructions, and he would kill anything he encountered along the way, before that, Iron Shoes only saw a turtle and a thorn ball, when he saw the appearance of those animals killed by Thirteen and the boss, he had no compassion, because these animals are very different from the animals in the outside world, there is no sunlight in the cave, and there are no plants, all the animals are carnivorous, sharp teeth, and fishy.
There are five kinds of common animals here, one is the toad, which is different from the toad in the outside world, the toad here is very large and ugly, the foraging method is not predation, but the standard waiting for the rabbit, the large open mouth can emit a carrion-like stench, and some small insects that like this smell will automatically crawl into its mouth.
There is also a mouse, to be exact, a distant relative of a mouse, they are about the same size as ordinary rats, but they have no hair, their skin is pink, their eyes have deteriorated, their noses are pointed, their ears are large, their claws are webbed, their tails are flattened, they move very fast, they eat insects and small fish, they are located in the lower layers of the biological chain, and many animals can prey on them.
The third type is the beetle, these beetles are the size of a shoe, have a dozen gastropods and two stout chelicerae, their main food is rats and insects, the carapace is very hard, has no wings, and emits a strange smell when attacked.
There is also a small thing similar to a salamander, which moves slowly and is red in color, and the boss does not dare to provoke this kind of animal, and Thirteen is not afraid, which shows that this kind of animal is highly poisonous, and the poisonous surname is Yang.
The largest number is a bipedal running animal, three points like a bird and seven points like a lizard, with teeth in the mouth, large nostrils, white eyes, no matter whether it is predated by smell, it may be this animal that feeds the spiny ball, and the appearance of this animal also shows that this cave is isolated from the world can no longer be counted for thousands of years.
In addition to these animals, there are not many other animals in the cave, which shows that the ecological structure here is very simple, but the two have never encountered the kind of giant snake they saw before, this situation makes Zuo Dengfeng puzzled, there are two possible surnames that cause this situation, and they go to two extremes, one is the best result, the giant snake is dead, and the other is the worst result, and it has not yet reached the area where the giant snake is, and the giant snake seen before inadvertently broke into someone else's territory and was driven out.
The terrain of the cave is complex, it is not a single passage, and sometimes there will be forks in the road, but Zuo Dengfeng can always find the right way, he does not rely on memory, but accurate calculation, before coming down, he has drawn the direction of the mountain range and calculated the distance, every time the two of them turn around, he will mark it on the map, and the distance they walk is also calculated as accurately as possible, so he can roughly calculate the current location of the two.
The two of them can only walk in the cave, the speed is very slow, after calculation, at this time has walked out of about fifteen miles, close to one-third of the total distance, Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand to look at the watch, and found that he has walked for more than ten hours, at this time it should be about ten o'clock on the ground.
In a spacious area, Zuo Dengfeng froze a place to rest with Xuanyin True Qi, Thirteen and the boss sentry, he rested with Iron Shoes, in order to relieve the oppressive feeling of Iron Shoes, he took out the map, pointed out the location of the two to Iron Shoes, and emphasized to him that it was currently ten o'clock in the morning, the sun outside had risen, the temperature was very high, the people outside were hot and sweaty, and the underground was very cool, his purpose was to reduce the invisible pressure and absurdity caused by the dark and confined environment and strange creatures to people's psychology.
When he said these words, Zuo Dengfeng was also enlightening himself, this kind of environment is not a place for people, and he has not yet gone to the most dangerous place to feel like he is in hell, and then he doesn't know what terrifying and unacceptable things he will encounter.
In this environment, Zuo Dengfeng is not in the mood to eat at all, but he has to force himself to eat, people will have a sense of satisfaction when eating, which is what he lacks the most, when eating Zuo Dengfeng has been talking and laughing with Iron Shoes, Iron Shoes has experienced a lot of things, but he is not good at expressing it, some have forgotten, the thing he remembers most clearly is the glorious deeds of killing Shi Yousan and a battalion with his own strength, but whenever he talks about this, Zuo Dengfeng will find a way to divert the topic, If you don't divert from the topic, Iron Shoes will soon think of the experience of facing the wall.
"Amitabha, if only Cui Jinyu were here." Iron Shoes said coldly.
"Why do you say that?" Zuo Dengfeng asked, he also likes to be with Yufu in his bones, Yufu can not only make him feel peaceful, but also analyze problems with him and give him advice, but Zuo Dengfeng didn't dare to let Yufu follow.
"The old man is not good at words, Cui Jinyu can solve your worries." Iron Shoes spoke.
"How do you know she can relieve my sorrows?" Zuo Dengfeng asked suspiciously.
"You laugh a lot when you're together." Iron Shoes took a sip of liquor.
"I don't laugh less when we're together." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and spoke, when the jade whisk was there, Tie Shoe had always been a bystander, but he didn't expect this bystander to observe quite carefully.
"Much less, not only less, but also fake." Iron Shoes said.
Zuo Dengfeng was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, he never thought of how to get along with iron shoes, it was easy to treat a fool, but it was not easy to treat a madman, because a madman is sometimes smarter than a normal person.
"Otherwise, if you marry Cui Jinyu, she is a Huoju Daogu and can be married." Iron Shoes said very seriously.
"Are you a monk or a matchmaker, why don't you find a nun to marry." Zuo Dengfeng laughed when he heard this.
"The old man is a monk, and besides, bhikshunis are ......," Iron Shoe said and suddenly closed his mouth.
"Besides, bhikshunis are not as good-looking as jade whisks." Zuo Dengfeng quickly picked up the next sentence.
"Amitabha, the red face is all white bones, and there is only good and evil in the eyes of the old man, but there is no beauty or ugliness." The iron shoes were folded and opened, Zuo Dengfeng guessed wrong, he wanted to say that bhikshunis could not be married.
Zuo Dengfeng didn't answer the conversation when he heard this, the depression in his heart has not been relieved, and the pressure has not been relieved, he is currently facing two major difficulties, one is to find six Yin Inner Dan before the end of his yang life, and the other is to try his best to stay sober and restrain himself from becoming depressed.
"If you are thin-skinned, the old man will tell you." Tie Shoe spoke again, he was a Buddhist monk, he shouldn't have this kind of thought, and he shouldn't have said it, but he was an old man, Zuo Dengfeng was dozens of years younger than him, he always felt that Zuo Dengfeng was doing something wrong, but he couldn't say what he was wrong.
"Thank you for the kindness of the master, you also know that I had a wife before, and she died to save me, I can't be sorry for her, and I can't let her be cold under the Nine Springs." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and smiled, the real thing is not a gritted oath, that means that the will is not strong and the mind is uncertain.
"Amitabha, she has passed away, you are not doing it right." Iron Shoes shook his head and said.
"Why not." Zuo Dengfeng asked rhetorically.
"Amitabha, the Bodhisattva has a saying, everything is due to the Dharma, there is no reason to seek, there is no fate to stay, you are in love, the devil is stunned." Iron Shoes held back for a long time, and finally held back a sentence that he thought was appropriate.
"Which bodhisattva said this?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked.
"The words of the Heavenly Relatives Bodhisattva in the "Theory of Passing Away". Iron Shoes said casually.
"Master, you are misinterpreting the Buddhist scriptures." Zuo Dengfeng said with a smile, the theory of rebirth should be a scripture to persuade Buddhist monks to look down on the suffering of the world, and the iron shoes are obviously taken out of context.
Hearing this, Iron Shoes looked up, turned to doubt, and after a long time, the doubt turned into a sudden realization, "You are obsessed and have no connection with Buddhism." ”
As soon as the words of the iron shoes came out, Zuo Dengfeng immediately knew that the iron shoes were the real devil, but he did not refute it, but nodded again and again, pretending to be ashamed, he didn't dare to go against the iron shoes too much, for fear that he would pick a son halfway.
After taking a nap, the two set off again, and the further they went, the tighter their brows furrowed, because the passage was getting narrower and narrower, and it was no longer possible to walk upright, and after a while, it would be difficult to even bend forward.
"Thirteen, go ahead and see if there's a way." Zuo Dengfeng stopped and said to the thirteenth, the current terrain is like a horn, getting narrower and narrower.
Thirteen heard the words and ran forward first, Zuo Dengfeng kept looking at Thirteen, Thirteen didn't run far before stopping, looking left and right, and then looking down, this situation showed that there was a lot of space ahead.
At that moment, Thirteen suddenly retreated sharply, and at the same time, a thick black shadow flashed through the mouth of the cave......
