My body fell rapidly, and after a few seconds, it fell to the ground with a thud, but it felt like it was falling on a soft mass, and it didn't hurt much.

It was pitch black, I couldn't see anything, I reached out and touched the ground, it felt slippery, and at the same time I smelled a strong smell of blood.

"Long Xiaoman!" I shouted, but there was no response, and I immediately began to panic, touching the soft mass beneath me, like a woman.

I thought it was Long Xiaoman, so I shook her body and shouted her name.

It was so dark that it was like ink had fallen in, and I couldn't see anything, so I reached under the man's nose and found that he was out of breath, and it was slimy, as if he had shed a lot of blood.

"Long Xiaoman, Long Xiaoman!"

I felt a sharp pain in my heart, as if I had been cut by a knife, and I began to cry, and just when I was feeling very sad, I suddenly heard a small moan from nearby.

"Zhang Zhanning ......"

It's Long Xiaoman's voice!

I'm glad she's not dead!

"Long Xiaoman!" I shouted, followed the place where the sound came from, and finally touched Long Xiaoman's hand.

"Are you alright?" I felt like I was about to cry, I never thought I would care so much about Long Xiaoman, the moment I thought she was dead just now, I was almost crazy.

I was about to lift her up, but I heard her say, "Don't pull, my foot is stuck!" ”

I hurriedly touched her foot and found that her foot was stuck under a stone, and pushed it hard, and found that the stone was very heavy.

"You hold on for a while, I want to figure it out! Rest assured, I'm here! ”

I comforted Long Xiaoman, and then groped around in the dark, fortunately, I actually touched a thicker stick.

"Bear with me, it'll be fine right away!"

I put the stick into the crack of the stone and pried it up hard, the stone was very heavy, I prying it for a long time, making me sweat profusely, but the stone did not move at all, and finally even the stick was broken!

I don't know if I was nervous or tired, I felt too hot all over my body, and just when I was in a hurry, I suddenly found that the surroundings began to slowly light up.

A faint green light shrouded the surroundings like mist, and the darkness dissipated, and it gradually became clear in front of my eyes, and I realized that this was a very large space.

There was a tall tree next to it, without branches or leaves, and on its huge trunk there were dense vines as thick as arms, which slowly wriggled like tentacles, like thousands of snakes gathered together, making people's scalps tingle.

And this pale green light that suddenly appeared in this layer was emitted by the vines on this tree.

But I don't have the heart to take care of these things at the moment, I have to rescue Long Xiaoman first.

One of her legs got stuck under a large stone slab, and I comforted her while trying to figure it out.

In the end, it took several sticks to pry off several sticks in succession to rescue her.

Pinching her ankle, she groaned in pain.

"It's okay, it didn't hurt the bone, it was just dislocated."

When I was a child, I was very naughty, I often climbed trees and climbed over walls or something, and I was dislocated not once or twice, and my second aunt knew a little bit about this, so I also knew a little about this kind of injury.

While rubbing Long Xiaoman's ankle, I suddenly asked, "Xiaoman, let me ask you a question." ”

Long Xiaoman looked at me with a puzzled expression, "You ask." ”

I grabbed her calf with one hand and her instep with the other, "What color do you have panties?" ”

Long Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, suddenly turned red, shouted hooligan, and then stretched out his hand to hit me.

At this moment, I grabbed her hand so hard that she screamed in pain.

I stood up and clapped my hands and said, "It's okay, you get up and move around and see if there's any problem." ”

Long Xiaoman looked at me in surprise, and then slowly stood up from the ground.

I saw that she was okay and smiled, "Don't mind what you just said, I just wanted to distract you, nothing else." ”

Long Xiaoman looked at me and bit his lip, his face was crimson, and he looked like a shy little girl.

It was only then that I slowly began to look around, and I realized that this place was surprisingly large, like a dungeon.

When I looked forward, I found that there were two corpses on the ground, which turned out to be Huang Li and Xiao Lian's. They each had a bloody cut in their necks, and the blood continued to flow out, looking like they had been hacked to death with a knife.

The strangest thing is that there is a palm-sized blood hole in their hearts.

"Look at their hearts!" Long Xiaoman suddenly said nervously.

I hurriedly found a half-cut stick that had just been broken, pulled it into the bloody hole in their hearts, and found that their hearts were indeed missing!

Long Xiaoman stepped forward to check the corpse, frowned and said, "The knife wound on their necks is not fatal, the real cause of death is that someone took out their hearts!" ”

I felt a chill in my back when I heard this, and quickly looked around vigilantly, "You mean, there is something in this dungeon?" ”

Long Xiaoman nodded, "When the Yin soldiers borrowed the Tao before, I saw that the group of Kuomintang soldiers had a blood hole in their chests, and they should all have died because their hearts were taken out. ”

"And the Headmaster!" I suddenly remembered that the principal was also killed by his heart, "Those group of yin soldiers, these two girls, and the principal, the cause of death is exactly the same, could it be the same person, or the same thing?" ”

Long Xiaoman exhaled lightly, "It was the heavenly pile that did it." ”

"Celestial stake?" When I hear that, my scalp goes numb.

Long Xiaoman continued, "Digging out the heart is the killing method of the heavenly pile, that group of Kuomintang soldiers has been in battle for a long time, and they all have weapons in their hands, only the heavenly pile can do it if they can collectively be taken out of their hearts!" ”

I asked if it was the one you had been secretly investigating in the Academy of Fine Arts.

Long Xiaoman shook his head, "It's still uncertain, although the conditions for refining the Heavenly Pile are extremely harsh, it doesn't mean that there is only one. But what is certain is that there is a celestial stake in this dungeon now! ”

I asked what to do now, and Long Xiaoman glanced forward, "Find Xiaohui and them first!" ”

As he spoke, Long Xiaoman walked forward, I paddled behind me, and suddenly stopped her, "Hey, why do I have to listen to you every time?" ”

Long Xiaoman turned around and looked at me puzzled.

I looked at her and said, "Every time you say anything, I know you have money and ability, but I'm not your slave, and you're not qualified to tell me!" ”

I remembered a lot of things I had with Long Xiaoman before, she always looked high in front of me, as if I was born shorter than her, and I should be called by him as a servant.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and pointed at her nose and scolded, "You stinky bitch, you look like you are cold and jade on the surface, but secretly you have a bad stomach, Lao Tzu will clean you up today!" ”

With that, I grabbed half a stick from the ground and hit her.

"You're crazy!" Long Xiaoman grabbed my wrist and twisted it gently, I felt a pain in my wrist, and the wooden stick fell to the ground.

"You still dare to fight back!" I yelled, "I'm going to kill you!" ”

As he spoke, he frantically pinched her neck, Long Xiaoman turned sideways to avoid my attack, I pounced, and was about to turn around and continue to fight with her, when I suddenly felt a numbness in the back of my neck, and an electric shock instantly filled my whole body.

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt dizzy in my head, thinking about what I had just done, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

I actually wanted to kill Long Xiaoman just now, what's going on?

"I ...... I ...... just now" I hurriedly explained to Long Xiaoman, but I didn't know how to express it, and I couldn't explain my abnormal behavior just now. I suddenly felt that Long Xiaoman was very hateful, and I had the urge to kill her.

"No need to explain, you just hallucinated."

Long Xiaoman looked at the strange tree, "The problem should be in this tree, before in the cave, you suddenly became crazy, it is estimated that this tree is also doing the trick." ”

I thought about it for a while, and it seemed like this was the case, so I asked, "Then why were you okay just now?" ”

Long Xiaoman frowned slightly, "I don't know about this, it's strange, is there another reason?" ”

I wiped the sweat from my head, I had worked hard to save Long Xiaoman just now, and now I still feel hot and dry.

Then I suddenly remembered something, slapped my thigh and said, "I know! ”

I swallowed, "Before, Xiaohui and I found a diary in the cave, and the contents of the front were normal, until the last three days, it began to become abnormal......"

I told Long Xiaoman about the diary, and then explained, "I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and now I remember a detail, the last three days of that diary, the weather recorded were all sunny. And the day we went crazy collectively also happened to be the day when the weather was clear. ”

"You mean, it has to do with temperature?" Long Xiaoman seemed to understand.

I nodded, "When we fell just now, it was still dark all around, but then the tree suddenly started to glow, and it was because when I was saving you, I used a lot of physical strength and my body was hot, so I was hallucinating, and you didn't!" ”

"And when Xiaohui and I entered the cave on the first day, nothing happened because it was cloudy. And the day we got the hallucination, it happened to be a sunny day, so I speculated that the appearance of the hallucination must be related to the temperature! ”

Long Xiaoman looked at me and suddenly smiled, "When did you become so smart." ”

I smiled, scratched my head and said, "Isn't this also forced, I am worried every day, and I can't have more brains!" ”

As we spoke, we suddenly heard footsteps in front of us, like someone running.

"Who!" Long Xiaoman shouted, and then the two of us chased in the direction from which the sound came.

Although the green light emitted by the strange tree was not strong, it was like a mist that filled the entire underground palace, and there was a faint green all around.

The sound of footsteps seemed far away from us, but it seemed close at hand, but there was no one in sight.

When I chased to a place, I suddenly found a row of footprints on the ground, which looked a bit like chicken paws, but they were not chicken footprints, like they were left by some monster.

And there is only one row, which means that this monster jumps on one leg.

I suddenly remembered that Xiaohui and I had seen the same footprints near the ancient temple at that time.

Following this footprint, Long Xiaoman and I chased all the way to the side of a suspension bridge, on which there were no wooden planks, only a few thick iron chains that were bare.
