Back in the cave, I felt like I had recovered a lot and felt less uncomfortable.

Xiaohui thought that the reason why I was in this situation must be the problem of this strange big bat, and as soon as he entered the cave, he squatted on the ground and carefully examined the body of the big bat.

But I vaguely felt that it was not so simple, Zhang Ya warned me in a dream last night that I could not drink the water of the reverse flow.

Although my symptoms just now occurred after being scratched by a large bat, I drank the water of reflux before that.

Is that the problem with the big bats, or is it the reason for drinking the water from the backflow?

"Look!"

Xiaohui suddenly shouted, as if he had found something, I hurriedly went over to take a look, and saw Xiaohui tearing off the bat's wings with both hands.

When I looked at it, I found that there was a strange symbol on each side of the big bat's wings, and the symbol was circled, a bit like the "@" symbol in an email.

I think this symbol looks familiar, but not just because of the email symbol, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere.

Second uncle!

Suddenly, I suddenly remembered that before my second uncle died, he dipped his own blood and drew the same symbol on the ground!

At the time, I didn't care so much, but now I see the same symbol on the wings of this big bat, is it just a coincidence?

If it weren't for the coincidence, the symbol that the second uncle drew at that time must have wanted to hint at something for us, could it be that everything is related to the huge bat in front of him?

I continued to look closely at the big bat and noticed that it was not only large, but also looked different from a normal bat.

Except for a pair of meat wings, the bat's head turned out to be a bit like a snake's head, and a pair of fangs were like sharp hooks, and the hand touched the abdomen, and the fingers felt like pins and needles.

I shrank in pain, and found that there were many dense holes in my fingers, and it turned out that the hair on this bat was also extremely hard, like the tips of cow hair needles!

And the pair of sharp claws, only three fingers, and the strangest thing is that there is a tail about half a foot long, a bit like a snake's tail, except that there is a pinch of red hair on the tip of the tail.

"Is that legend true?" Xiaohui suddenly muttered.

I asked, "What legend?" ”

Xiao Hui frowned, touched his chin, and made a contemplative appearance, "I used to read in a book left at home, after eating human flesh, bats will evolve into something called bat ghosts, snake body and wings, hair is as sharp as spikes, I look at this thing a bit like a bat ghost." ”

I asked, "Could this bat eat the flesh of those archaeological team members and become a bat ghost?" ”

Xiao Hui shook his head, "It's not that simple, for a bat to evolve into a bat ghost, eating human flesh is only the most basic condition, and there are many harsh opportunities, and the most important point is that there must be a master who is proficient in black occult arts to create conditions for them to evolve into a bat ghost." ”

"Black occultism?" I listened confusedly, "What is it?" ”

Xiaohui said, "There are many categories of occultism, just like martial arts in martial arts movies, but according to the division of good and evil, there are two categories: white mystics and black mystics. The black occult techniques are ruthless, and cultivators will be disturbed and become ferocious, so it has always been a taboo among people in the Xuanmen. ”

"All orthodox Xuanmen disciples are not allowed to practice black mystical arts, as early as many years ago, Xuanmen patriarch Liu Bowen ordered all black occult techniques to be burned."

"But at that time, the person who was ordered to burn the book secretly left a part, and until now, there are still a very small number of people who are practicing black occult arts, refining heavenly stakes, and evolving bat ghosts, these are all methods that only exist in black occult arts."

"Over the years, our four major families have dealt with not only ghosts and unknown creatures, but also to guard against black occultism, people who practice black occultism are much more terrifying than ghosts, if we cultivate black mystical art to the Mahayana realm, the consequences will be immeasurable, and it may be another catastrophe in the world!"

After listening to it, I secretly smacked my tongue, I didn't know that there were so many Taos here, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I would definitely not believe these things before.

"It's just ......"

Xiao Hui stood up and glanced around, "It stands to reason that the environment in which the bat ghost exists is very harsh, and once it leaves the fixed environment, it will die, but how can a bat ghost appear here inexplicably?" ”

I said maybe it flew from somewhere else.

Xiao Hui shook his head, "It's impossible, there are no conditions for the evolution of bat ghosts in this vicinity, if you fly from a farther place, you will die halfway, and you will definitely not be able to fly so far." ”

I looked outside, and by this time the fog had cleared, and the sun had finally shone down after a long time.

It's just that because of the injuries on my body, although I have improved a lot, but the whole person is still a little weak, Xiaohui said to stay here for another day, let me take care of my body, and continue to set off at dawn tomorrow.

The corpse of the bat ghost was burned by us on the spot, and when it burned, it came out with a strange green flame, which looked very strange.

Taking advantage of the sunny weather, we decided to go out to pick some wild fruits as reserves, and the last time we encountered that insect mist, many of our supplies were lost, so we had to solve the problem of eating and drinking by ourselves.

The sudden sunny weather after the fog made the air in the mountains very humid and stuffy, it may be that there are too many things that have happened these days, and I am worried about Long Xiaoman's safety, my mood slowly began to become agitated.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the cave, Xiaohui and I had an awkward quarrel over the direction, and he seemed very irritable.

There is no shortage of wild fruits in the mountains, but it is impossible to distinguish which ones can be eaten and which ones cannot be eaten, and in the end only a few wild fruits that can be eaten are definitely picked.

When I returned to the entrance of the cave, I suddenly noticed many messy footprints, and the sound of people talking in the cave.

Xiaohui and I were wary at the same time, looked at each other, and then slowly approached the inside.

"Who!"

A voice came from the cave, and it seemed to have spotted us.

Xiaohui and I rushed over almost at the same time and saw seven or eight young people who looked like college students.

"Who are you and how are you here!" Xiaohui asked vigilantly.

The group looked at us, and one of them, a muscular man, walked up to us, looked up and down, pointed to the sleeping bag and other things in the hole, and asked, "Is this your thing?" ”

Looking at our vigilant looks, the man suddenly grinned with white teeth and laughed, "You are also travel friends, hello, my name is Luo Wu, a few of us are from the college student expedition team, we came here to explore and encountered the fog and got lost, this morning the fog dispersed, only to find this place to rest temporarily, don't you mind!" ”

Xiaohui was still very vigilant, and only after asking a few questions did he put his mind at ease.

After a brief exchange, I was completely unguarded and sure that they were really just here to explore, and that they weren't lying. The sturdy man named Luo Wu, with healthy wheat-colored skin, was their captain.

There are a total of seven people in this college student expedition, five men and two women, the two women are quite beautiful, Xiaohui looks like a cheap person and is close to others, and I don't know what means are used to make the two women giggle.

"I'll give you a question." Xiaohui said with a grin.

The two girls were very amused by him, and one of them said, "Say it! ”

Xiaohui said seriously, "Why do teeth hurt, why do leeks rot in the ground, why do women get pregnant?" ”

The two girls pondered for a long time, but in the end they didn't come up with a result.

Xiaohui smiled cheaply and said, "Because I didn't pull it out!" ”

The two girls were stunned for a moment, and immediately blushed, causing everyone to laugh.

I was speechless directly on the side, Xiaohui's appearance at this time is completely a pervert reincarnated, where is the demeanor of the four major Xuanmen families, if his parents know about it, he will definitely be smoked.

This group of college students have a cheerful and sunny personality, and they mingle with us after a while, and I envy them in my heart, and after experiencing many things, I know that this ordinary life is so precious.

I hope that I can be like them, an ordinary person, even if I am a little poor, I feel down-to-earth, it is better than worrying about it every day now.

In the evening, we gathered around the campfire, talking, laughing, and performing performances, which seemed very joyful.

"Alright."

Luo Wu stood up and clapped his hands, "That's it for today, we will continue to rush tomorrow, everyone rest early and save your strength." ”

Xiaohui looked cheap, and invited the two girls to go out for a walk in the night light with him.

But he was refused, Luo Wu was very appealing among them, everyone listened to him, he said to sleep, and everyone immediately prepared to rest.

"Now let's start counting it." Luo Wudao.

I've seen this rule on TV before, a team in the field, every day before going to bed and at dawn, they will count the number of people, so as not to get lost.

"One!" Luo Wu shouted first.

Immediately after that, the rest of the team also began to report the numbers: two, three......

Finally, there was a voice: Eight!

Luo Wu clapped his hands, "Okay, the count is finished, everyone is ready to sleep." ”

At this time, everyone was suddenly stunned, and Luo Wu's face suddenly sank, "Re-count!" ”

One, two, three......

When the count reached seven, a deep voice suddenly came again: Eight!

At this moment, everyone suddenly exploded, and Luo Wu glared at me and Xiaohui, "Please don't make trouble!" ”

Xiaohui and I had already seen the clues, and we didn't say a word for a long time.

I swallowed, "Let's count it again, this time counting the two of us." ”

Then there was a new round of reporting, Xiaohui and I were the first to report, and when it was reported to the ninth, a voice sounded again: ten!

This time, Luo Wu didn't suspect that we were making trouble, and the air in the entire cave instantly froze!

There were seven people in this expedition, and with Xiaohui and me, there were nine people in total.

But when the number is reported, how can there be an extra one?
