Kuroko's expression became more and more gloomy, "I'm afraid that the old man Shi has already found a way to destroy the balance above, and wants to wash down the lake, destroy everything here, and completely wipe us out by the way!" That's why he wants to use those clay figurines as a delay, so that he can have enough time to kill the real killer! ”

No way! This old man Shi came all the way, pretending to be stupid, but he didn't expect that at the end, he actually showed such a fierce side.

"We must find the exit quickly!" Kuroko said and looked at Xiu'er.

Unconsciously, during the time I was talking to Kuroko, Xiu'er had successfully persuaded the nine-headed spirit snake to show its true body, and the lights of the two of us quietly shone through. I saw a small white snake with nine different heads spitting out letters, standing on top of the melted batter. And Xiu'er is just a stone's throw away from it!

Scare! At a glance, cold sweat immediately broke out on my forehead, and although Kuroko was a little calmer than me, his expression was not much better!

Suddenly, Xiu'er actually moved one step forward, and now it was almost face-to-face! No way! This Nizi, don't die! "Spirit snake, this bone flute is a very good friend, it is a gray white wolf, just like you, they are all animals, so there is really no way to give it to you. But if you're willing to come with me, you can get close to the bone flute to a certain extent. Presumably, you are tired of this kind of gloomy environment where you can't see your fingers! ”

When the words came out, the nine heads of the spirit snake swayed wildly, and the sound of the letter sizzling sounded, quite panicked. Thankfully, its frenzy only lasted for a moment, and the random snakehead swirled between Xiu'er and the bone flute.

Seeing that it hesitated, Xiu'er replied, "If you want, we can be friends!" ”

The word friend came out, as if the spirit snake immediately decided. The mind was decided, and the letter was withdrawn together, and the high head fell, making a well-behaved appearance.

Xiu'er saw that it seemed to agree, so she happily stretched out the bone flute and let the spirit snake hover over. Then he made a small cut in his finger, and a few drops of blood flowed out to the front of the snake's head.

The spirit snake looked at the dripping blood, and raised the middle head to look at Xiu'er for a while, as if to consider whether she was worth signing such a contract.

Only the last step was missing, and I was nervous with the sunspot on the high platform, for fear that something would go wrong at this time and all the previous efforts would be lost.

Time was turning second by second, and finally, the spirit snake lowered its head again. After smelling it for a long time, he stretched out the letter and licked a small drop of blood back into his mouth, and as Xiu'er's blood touched its lips for the first time, then, after a moment's effort, all the blood dripping from the bone flute was licked clean by the spirit snake.

Seeing this, the three of us couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it stands to reason that this step is finally done. Xiu'er excitedly put the nine-headed spirit snake coiled on the bone flute into the long side pocket of the backpack, revealing only a small gap for breathing. I wanted to pull out the bone flute. However, the spirit snake grabbed it too tightly, so I had to give up. They all went inside. "Just like a child, when you encounter something you like, you must hold it tightly and refuse to let go." Xiu'er's face seemed to be filled with the brilliance of her mother, which made me look a little dazed unconsciously.

Until Kuroko's words interrupted, "I can't ink anymore, and the sound of water is getting louder and louder." It won't be long before we rush down, and we'll have to find the passage quickly, starting from the place where Old Man Shi disappeared! ”

But before the three of us could successfully walk to the position of the first clay figure that Old Man Shi had kicked down before, the sound of the water above my head 'boomed' and suddenly loudened, and I heard this sound. The uneasy mood in the heart suddenly expanded, people who liked to play in the water when they were young knew that if they opened the water on the embankment, with the continuous impact of the water, the mouth would get bigger and bigger, and at a certain time, the water would suddenly become fierce, until the mouth was completely washed away, and the lake above poured down.

At the moment we are facing the same situation, according to my estimates, based on the area of the lake above, there is only less than a minute left at most to find the exit, and how far to run!

Xiu'er grew up with me when she was a child, so she naturally understood this truth, and her face changed greatly, and she asked in a panic, "In just one minute, it is impossible to find an exit, what should I do?" ”

What to do? Kuroko's face was tense and about to drip blood, his bloodshot eyes quickly looked around, the candlestick on the wall had begun to sway from side to side by shock, and even the lifeless candle flame had the idea of dodging.

Time is like fine sand between your fingers, the more you want to hold it, the more you can't hold it, Kuroko retracted his gaze, and said helplessly and sadly, "It seems that we can only wait for the lake to wash down, and we will swim up!" ”

"What about those man-eating water rats?" Xiu'er thought of the gnawed and messy corpse we salvaged, and her face turned horrified.

But indeed, there was no other way, and I hung my head in frustration, and my eyes fell on the puddle of wilted batter on the ground, when suddenly an idea popped into my head.

"Xiu'er, take out that nine-headed spirit snake, it is an animal, and it can understand human speech, and when it encounters an emergency that threatens its life, it will inevitably follow its instinct and flee to the exit! Maybe it's our chance!" I hurriedly shouted.

Xiu'er didn't wait for me to finish speaking, and the nine-headed spirit snake that had just fallen asleep was gently lifted out of the side pocket of the backpack and put it on the ground, and in the process of transferring, the spirit snake woke up, Xiu'er looked at it and said anxiously, "Spirit snake, help us find the exit!" Otherwise everyone will die! ”

When the spirit snake heard this, his body was stunned, and first the nine heads turned their heads to look at the place where the sound of water came from overhead, and then the snake galloped, bending left and right to avoid the mud scattered all over the ground, and rushed straight to the blue wall of the high platform.

When we saw this, we dared not doubt anything, so we followed, and the spirit snake swam to a stone that was exactly the same as the rest of the place, and then stopped moving, and made a rapid 'sizzling' sound from its mouth, as if it was roaring at the stone!

Kuroko's eyes were quick, and he flew up and kicked over.

The sound of the bricks and stones breaking was mixed with a loud sound of the collapse of the roof of the building, and a one-person-high black hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the high platform, and the spirit snake saw that the obstacle disappeared, and swam in without hesitation, and a large number of endless lakes with faint blue light behind him had already flowed straight down, and the water column hit the ground, the water splashed, and in the blink of an eye, our back was already wet.

As soon as the vanguard of the water rats arrived, as soon as their bodies hit the ground, they immediately rushed towards us with a burst of bounces.

"Quick!" Kuroko stood at the entrance of the cave with a green knife in his hand, shouting for me to enter with Xiu'er quickly, and only after we hurriedly ran in, he followed, and shouted eagerly, "Run!" Keep running! Don't stop! ”

The tunnel was pitch black, and after six or seven hundred years, no one had walked on it, and many places under our feet were potholes, and the top of our heads and sides felt that they might collapse at any time with our rapid running movements. (To be continued......)
