Chapter 35: The Return to the Underground
Running out of the A-shaped room, the two of them rushed all the way directly to a remote and uninhabited place before stopping.
After Su Moyu stood still, he couldn't stop rubbing his feet, and when he looked around, he found that the two of them had come to the dry well that day again.
"What is this for?" he asked.
The dumb man tilted his head and pointed to the dry well.
"You mean to let me go down?" Su Moyu asked again.
The dumb nodded.
Su Moyu suddenly felt a little numb on his scalp, he still remembered the appearance of the giant wolf when he first saw it that day, and the undisguised murderous aura still frightened him.
"Don't you deliberately not go?" he asked.
But the dumb man didn't seem to intend to listen to him at all, grabbed his arm with one hand, and jumped directly into the dry well.
Thinking that the dumb child should not harm herself, Su Moyu didn't struggle too much, and after jumping into the dry well, she followed her back into the dark passage.
This is the second time he has taken this road, so Su Moyu seems to be familiar with the road, and he walked to the end of the dark road in a short time.
The dumb man in front put his hands on the secret door on the stone wall, and pushed it hard, and he heard a series of friction sounds, and the secret door was pushed open.
Almost at the same time, through that narrow gap. From the side of the secret door, extremely manic, sad and unwilling emotions mixed with naked killing intent poured out, making Su Moyu even feel like he was in hell for a moment.
He heard the howl of the giant wolf mixed with the clashing of chains, which was especially terrifying in the narrow and dark passages.
But the mute child standing in front of him showed no fear, and the eyes she opened shone with compassion and anger.
The two of them squeezed through the gap in the secret door, and Su Moyu was surprised to find that the giant wolf that was originally huge had now become the size of an ordinary wolf.
And the collar on its neck also became just enough to cover its neck, and the chain attached to the stone statue was now tightened, and there was a flowing light on it, which was injected into the white wolf's body like a liquid.
Then the white wolf began to twitch and howl incessantly.
"What's wrong with it?" asked Su Moyu almost subconsciously.
"It hurts. A slightly hoarse voice sounded in Su Moyu's ears, and it didn't attract his attention at first.
But after a while, Su Moyu turned his head in shock and stared at the mute's side face.
That's right, the voice just now came from her, but isn't she mute?
Su Moyu hesitated for a long time before he asked carefully, "Can you speak?"
The dumb man turned his head and bowed slightly, "Yes." ”
This time Su Moyu saw it really and confirmed that the voice was indeed dumb, he was very stunned, and stood there for a long time before asking, "But...... Why don't you usually speak?"
The dumb child thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid." ”
"What are you afraid of?" asked Su Moyu.
"Die. The voice of the dumb child this time was much quieter than the previous two times, and it seemed that he was really afraid of something.
Even the sluggish Su Moyu could hear her depressed mood, so he didn't continue to ask, but looked back on the white wolf in front of him.
At this time, the white wolf had also discovered the existence of two people, and when its eyes met Su Moyu's, this originally painful guy suddenly became manic, even if he was chained, he struggled to pounce in the direction of Su Moyu.
And almost at the same time, the dumb child opened her arms to block in front of Su Moyu, and when the white wolf saw her like this, he stopped with hatred.
The mute stepped forward and stroked its fur with her hand, and after a long time, the white wolf's trembling slowly stopped.
Then the dumb child got up, returned to Su Moyu and said, "Go." ”
"Where are you going?" As soon as Su Moyu exited, he was dragged by the dumb child towards the deeper part of the cave.
This time he didn't go far, and another secret passage appeared in front of the two of them, and the dumb man led Su Moyu into the dark passage, and after turning around, he arrived at a place even more underground.
At this point, the dumb child suddenly stopped, and then pointed forward with his hand: "Go." ”
Su Moyu looked in the direction of her finger and saw a hot spring in front of her. The water of the hot springs is a beautiful turquoise color and steaming.
"Let me soak in the hot springs?" he asked.
The mute nodded, then pushed him to the hot springs and pulled him into it.
As soon as his body touched the spring water, Su Moyu felt a tingling sensation, but after an instant, the tingling sensation disappeared again, and was replaced by a somewhat comfortable tingling sensation.
He lowered his head in surprise, and suddenly saw that the wounds on his legs were scabbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And the fatigue he had accumulated for a day seemed to be slowly disappearing.
"What kind of hot spring is this, so powerful?" Su Moyu looked at the dumb child in surprise, but the dumb child tilted his head to look at him and refused to speak.
Su Moyu felt a little embarrassed, smirked a few times, and suddenly asked, "It's been so long, I still don't know what your real name is?"
Dumb lowered his head and said, "Dumb." ”
Su Moyu was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "I asked for my real name." ”
The dumb child shook his head and said, "Don't let me say it." ”
Su Moyu said inexplicably: "Who won't let you say it?"
This time, the dumb child shook his head and refused to speak, so Su Moyu had to sigh and give up.
After a not-so-short silence, the dumb child suddenly stood up and asked, "Are you alright?"
Su Moyu was stunned, checked himself a little, and found that although the injury on his leg had not completely healed, it was almost fine.
And the body that was originally exhausted was also full of strength at this time.
"Alright!" he replied.
The dumb nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go." ”
"Where are you going?" asked Su Moyu.
But the dumb child did not answer, and walked forward on his own. Su Moyu had no choice but to hurry out of the hot spring and follow her closely.
Walking and walking, Su Moyu suddenly found a problem, the little girl who was originally lame and hunchbacked, was walking in front of her upright and steady at this time, where did she look a little disabled?
Thinking about the fact that she could speak, as well as her terrifying strength, and the relationship with the white giant wolf, Su Moyu secretly exclaimed in her heart: "Is it possible...... Dumb is a master of the world? Just like Tianshan Tong's grandmother, she looks like a little girl, but in fact she is hundreds of years old?"
The more Su Moyu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, the cold sweat on his head was dripping, and he hesitated for a long time before asking, "Dumb...... How old are you this year?"
"Fifteen. The dumb boy replied without looking back.
Hearing this answer, Su Moyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to ask again, but saw that the dumb man had already stopped and said, "It's here." ”
Su Moyu was startled for a moment, and walked a few steps to the side of the dumb child, and saw that the road in front of the two of them was cut off by intricate cracks, and they could no longer walk.
He didn't know why the dumb man had brought him here, but just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly heard a roar from underground, as if something was about to rush out.
