Chapter 17: Being Clever and Being Mistaken by Being Clever (I)

"Which way do we go?" The two paths ahead seemed to be heads and tails of the same coin, and it was really difficult for me to choose.

Liu Jing didn't say a word, just shook her head.

Just when we were at a loss, I suddenly thought of a solution.

"Do you think the Hydra's Yin Qi is very heavy?" I asked tentatively.

"It's inevitable, after all, it's an ancient beast." Liu Jing answered me puzzled, and couldn't figure out my question.

"In this way, I can sense the yin qi, if which road is heavier, then let's just go another way, right?" I always had the feeling that I was a genius when it came to this great idea.

"It's a good idea to give it a try." Liu Jing also nodded appreciatively after hearing this.

I closed my eyes and focused. After all, there is training in spiritual mastery every day, and this is a trivial matter for me. Now with the assistance of the Yin and Yang Eyes, he is even more sensitive to the potential power around him.

I pointed to the road on the right: "Let's go this way, there is much less yin energy here than there there." ”

Liu Jing nodded again and walked with me down the road.

Although the ground inside is still very steep, the deeper you go in, the less yin qi there is. I can't help but feel like I'm such a genius.

"This time it's going well." I shook the candle in my hand, looking a little proud.

"Don't let your guard down, there may be even greater danger ahead." Liu Jing still said calmly.

I stuck out my tongue and stopped chattering. For some reason, I always feel that this woman has an aura, and this aura is not very strong. But I always felt like a child in front of him. Maybe it's a cold-faced beauty.

The surroundings are quiet, and this surprising silence can only allow us to hear our own heartbeat.

It feels familiar, like I've been here before......

As I walked, I found that the surroundings were suddenly wider, and it was of course a good thing that I could walk more freely in this closed stone cave.

Things seem to be going very smoothly.

Just as I lamented that my surroundings had grown, I raised a candle and shone on the roof of the cave. Oh my god, I held my breath all of a sudden. I saw piles of bats standing upside down on the ceiling, which was a nightmare for me, who has a phobia of denseness, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Shhh Many of the wood-dwelling bats migrate to warmer regions during the winter, sometimes flying thousands of miles. But burrowing bats in temperate zones here generally sleep in caves. Let's just tap it a little bit and don't disturb them. Liu Jing put her index finger on her lips and made a shush motion.

I nodded, slowing down even more.

You may feel very uncomfortable with thousands of bats hanging on your head, and the more you remind yourself not to look at it, not to worry. The more curious his eyes became, he glanced upwards.

I went, it was disgusting, did these bats still drip saliva, or make snoring sounds, which made me feel more and more uncomfortable. I remember correctly. Bats also contain some of the most pathogenic viruses in the world – including Ebola and SARS. If one doesn't pay attention to being bitten, isn't that going to die young?

As I was walking, I suddenly looked up again. The various bats that still live in their lives stand upside down on the roof of the cave, however, I inadvertently find that one bat after another is staring at me, as if this one has not fallen asleep. And I'm staring at it.

Damn, what are you looking at, I don't know if it's infiltrating to look at me with those two black eyes.

I grimaced for a moment, and made a look that I thought was terrible, but I just wanted to tell it one thing - I was terrible, don't bother us.

Sure enough, when the bat saw my expression, he closed his eyes as if he was pretending to be asleep.

Hmph, sure enough, I'm still very smart.

however

This time, I wasn't proud enough, and I was awakened from a sweet dream.

"Squeak" An animal cry came to my ears, like the cry of a mouse. But I know it's not the call of a mouse, it's the call of the bat just now.

I saw that it opened its eyes again, and the closed eyes just now seemed to be accumulating, and it was screaming desperately at the moment.

In this quiet cavern, the echoes are mixed with high-pitched chirps, which seem extremely eerie.

Khan, if you don't die, you won't die. Liu Jing and I were both startled by this voice and froze in place.

It's just that

At this moment, how I wish we would not be stunned for a moment, but continue to move forward at a brisk pace. Because at this moment, I suddenly found that other bats also slowly opened their eyes, and some of them flapped their wings from time to time. The "squeak" bat cries more and more, and it gets louder and louder. More and more bats were woken up by the shrill call.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the situation was not good, I hurriedly pulled Liu Jing to walk briskly forward, and I didn't dare to look up again.

Thankfully, the bats didn't fly down to attack us, they just stared at us with thousands of eyes.

Maybe bats are afraid of fire and light.

Although I feel helpless to hold us at the moment, but thinking of their greedy eyes, my heart is even more uneasy, and I don't let go.

As the screams invaded our hearts little by little, our steps grew faster and faster.

If you don't grimace at bats, you don't have to be so wolfy. Maybe it's because we run faster and faster, the candle flame in our hands flickered a few times, and slowly the spark spark became smaller and smaller. Seeing that the situation was not good, I hurriedly stopped, trying to take a break.

It's just that

Late!

The candle was ruthlessly extinguished, and the light of hope in my heart was extinguished with it.

"Run!" I shouted that I would give up on the idea because it was too late to take out the fire fold and light the fire. He pulled Liu Jing and strode out towards the darkness ahead.

And the bats on the top of the cave flew towards us with a loud cry from me.

"Squeak," the sound resounded endlessly throughout the cavern. They were flying towards us not far behind us.

I'm going, and I'm not telling you to run.

But legs and wings are two levels of things after all, like eggs and stones. The bats are getting closer and closer to us with ease. Every time I turned around, I felt like death was one step closer to me.

There were already several bats flying towards us. I swung my hands hard in front of me, just to keep them from blocking my little view.

"Why don't you go, I can't run anymore. Just enough to stay as bait. Liu Jing said breathlessly behind me.

I'll go, if you want to give full play to the spirit of the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, I don't object to it. But you are also a ghost who has lived for thousands of years, just because you ran a few steps to die in Huangquan, which is too bloody. Without Gu Liujing speaking, my hand grabbed her even more.

Perhaps it was our desire to survive that moved the heavens, and just when we were all too tired to do anything, we suddenly saw a stone gate in front of us. This door is my desire to survive, and it is even more explosive.

"Hold on for a while, there is a door ahead, and the past will be saved." Even though I didn't know what was on the other side of the door, I said hopefully.

Like the final sprint of an endurance run, we picked up speed and ran towards them.

As soon as I touched the door. My twinkling eyes dimmed again.

It took a lot of force to push the door open, and the time it took to dodge the bats was not enough.

Hey, God is so fond of jokes.

Life hangs in the balance, and my mind goes blank.

At this moment, Liu Jing patted me on the shoulder: "What are you frustrated, look at them." ”

I casually turned my head and looked,

I saw that the thousands of bats did not take advantage of this great opportunity to tear apart their prey.

Instead, he went to the roof of the cave hanging not far from the door and stared at us.

Why not approach us? Is it fear? So what are you afraid of?

Seizing every opportunity, I hurriedly took out the fire fold and lit the candle again with shaking hands.

Whew, I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't you think it's weird?" Liu Jing and his gang asked.

It's a little weird, but it's better than ending your life right now.

"Why don't you think they dare to move forward?" I asked her as I wiped my sweat and gasped.

"It's not like you're afraid of something over there, right?" Liu Jing pointed to the door.

"But I've sensed it, and the yin qi here is very sparse. Almost nothing. How can it be dangerous? I looked at her puzzled.

"I don't know, so are we going in?" She looked back and forth at the door, and then at me.

"You're not, if you don't go in, you're still standing here waiting to die." I gave her a blank look, rolled up my sleeves and started moving the dude.

"Ahhh~" Maybe it was really heavy, and I couldn't help but let out a shout.

And the stone door was also moved away by me little by little.

The swarm of bats flew away as they moved away.

"Isn't it strange, you say? Could it be that there really is such a scary thing on the other side of the door? Liu Jing asked again when she saw the situation.

"Anyway, I think it's scary right now." Removing the door through a small gap, I took a break and replied.

Just take a few breaths, and without stopping, I continued to move the door.

In a few moments, an opening was made for people to pass through.

Liu Jing and I glanced at each other and walked in.
