Labyrinth adventure? Well, children who don't know the height of the sky will find it very exciting. But Wang Xiaotian won't.

The caves here are intricately intricate, and there are many forks in the road, and no one knows where to go when you enter this cave.

Maybe you toss around and come out of another hole, maybe you go deeper and deeper, you don't know the way, you wander around in the labyrinthine hole, and you can't find the way out.

Besides, who knows if there are other dangers in the cave?

The Earth Walking Dragon was born and raised here, and it is most familiar with the roads in the cave. Although Zhou Ziheng and the others are all outsiders, they are all bold, well-equipped, and experienced, so they should not be trapped in this cave.

If he rushed in, even if he wouldn't be trapped in the intricate cave, but if he didn't chase Zhou Ziheng and them, he encountered the Earth Walking Dragon...... It's not very exciting, but it's terrible.

Wang Xiaotian glanced at Cao Lianyou, and she was also entangled. Obviously, the two of them wanted to go together.

"Are you going?" asked Wang Xiaotian. His combat power is slightly stronger, and he can resist and run when he encounters danger, Cao Lianyou is different, she is still in a weak state, basically has no combat effectiveness, and she is still a girl, it is necessary to ask for her opinion.

Cao Lianyou's little face wrinkled, "No." The Earth Walking Dragon is very ferocious and cunning, although it is wounded, its combat power is still much higher than ours, and the two of us are not its dishes at all, in case we encounter it, it will be troublesome. Moreover, it's so dark inside, who knows if there's anything else left, and there's something messy hidden. ”

Well, fear of the dark is the real reason, right?

However, Wang Xiaotian didn't complain about Cao Lianyou, because he was also afraid of the dark before. Back then, the first night Meng Kan left him in the forest, he was so frightened that he almost cried. It's human nature, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

At the entrance of the cave, the two of them found a clean stone and sat down side by side, ready to wait patiently.

Cao Lianyou folded a few grasses and tried to weave them into small toys, Wu Ling'er used to weave them for her, and she also learned several of them, and this time she had time to try it.

Wang Xiaotian took the sword in his hand and used the Force to warm the sword. This is a compulsory course in martial arts practice. Warming the weapon with the Force can make the user more familiar with the weapon, make the weapon more adaptable, and improve the user's Force frequency to improve the tacit understanding with each other, in order to achieve the unity of man and sword.

The black dog was tired enough to rest on the ground, and the little monkey was jolted, like falling apart, and was paralyzed on the black dog's back motionless.

After about an hour, Cao Lianyou suddenly exclaimed, "Look, what is that?"

Wang Xiaotian opened his eyes, followed Cao Lianyou's line of sight, and saw smoke and dust billowing more than ten kilometers away, and birds and birds were flying in shock.

"Someone!" Wang Xiaotian suddenly felt stunned. He had long guessed that this was a trap, and now it was confirmed.

These people who came, without guessing, knew that they must be enemies.

Wang Xiaotian took a closer look, the width of the smoke and the speed of advancement, and couldn't help but gasp.

The smoke and dust are three kilometers wide, and it is conservatively estimated that there must be dozens of people, and according to the speed of advancement, it is estimated that they will come here in about half an hour.

But that's the time it takes for most of those people to come over. For such a large-scale operation, the other party will definitely send scouts to sneak over in advance, and their scouts are already approaching.

Wang Xiaotian immediately made a decision, and immediately took Cao Lianyou's little hand, "Go!"

The two of them, a dog and a monkey, quickly got into the cave.

The cave is spacious enough to accommodate two steam locomotives in parallel.

After walking into the darkness, Wang Xiaotian felt that Cao Lianyou's little hands were trembling slightly. Wang Xiaotian knew that Cao Lianyou was a little scared.

Originally, Wang Xiaotian could see at night, and darkness was no different from day to him. But in order to take care of Cao Lianyou, he still picked up a dead branch and lit it as a torch for lighting.

The two continued on, and the cave became narrower and narrower. After walking for more than ten minutes, the cave was only more than two meters wide. There were still scattered traces of the blood of the Earth Walking Dragon on the ground, and the Force contained in them had not yet dissipated, and it shimmered faintly.

Wang Xiaotian judged that this cave was indeed the lair of the Earth Walking Dragon...... Entrance.

After walking a hundred meters, three forks in the road appeared in front of me. The left one goes down, the middle one goes up, and the right one is flat.

Wang Xiaotian took a closer look, and on the three forks in the road, there were no traces of the blood of the Earth Walking Dragon, no traces of the Earth Walking Dragon, and no marks made by Zhou Ziheng.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that on the way they came, there was a hidden fork in the road, and Di Xinglong and Zhou Ziheng actually entered the fork in the road?

Wang Xiaotian recalled it carefully and confirmed that there were no forks in the road along the way. That means that the Earth Walking Dragon has indeed come here, and the reason why it has not left a trace of blood is probably because the bleeding from its wound has stopped!

For seventh-level alien beasts, their strong flesh can withstand unimaginable injuries from humans, unless they directly attack the head, heart, and other fatal vital points. Otherwise, no matter how serious the injury may seem, it will not kill it instantly.

If so, it is indeed not good news for Wang Xiaotian and Cao Lianyou. The near-death counterattack of high-level alien beasts is already very terrifying, not to mention the Earth Walking Dragon, which still has quite strong combat effectiveness.

Even now, when Wang Xiaotian thinks of the near-death blow of the iron-armed ape, he is still covered in cold sweat, and his arms are faintly painful.

At that time, the Iron Arm Ape was a fifth-level intermediate level, and he was only one level short of the fourth-level peak. Now the Earth Walking Dragon is level seven, and he has only just been promoted to a level five cultivator, two levels behind.

With such a huge difference in rank, he was not much stronger than a small insect when he spoke to the Upper Earth Walking Dragon. Whether it was the dying blow of the Earth Walking Dragon or an ordinary attack, Wang Xiaotian and Cao Lianyou were all directly attacked

It's not appropriate to stay here either. Those people outside are definitely not kind-hearted people. If it falls into their hands, although it is not dangerous for the time being, it is very likely that it will be used by them to threaten Zhou Ziheng and others.

Even if they talk about benevolence and righteousness, and they don't have to threaten themselves and Cao Lianyou, Zhou Ziheng and others will definitely throw a rat trap and tie their hands and feet.

If you can't get the original crystal, you have to exchange it for the two of them. Yuan Jing is Cao Lianyou's life-saving thing, and it must not fall into the hands of villains.

So, don't let them catch it!

From the entrance of the cave to here, there were no forks in the road, no place to hide, and soon the enemy was in pursuit.

If they don't want to be caught, Wang Xiaotian and Cao Lianyou have only one way to leave here as soon as possible. He had to make a choice between three forks in the road right away. Which one to choose?

Wang Xiaotian did not dwell on it for long, and soon made a decision -- to take the fork in the road in the center! Because, in the old era, there was a non-famous (cousin) artist surnamed Guo who said many times, "The three major roads go to the center." ”

Wang Xiaotian decided to believe in the artist surnamed Guo once. He took Cao Lianyou's little hand and quickly drilled into the fork in the middle.

The fork in the road is a ramp up the road. It's not steep, but it's narrow, and the higher you go, the narrower the fork becomes, until you can only accommodate one person in the end.

However, Wang Xiaotian was also relieved, because with the huge body of the Earth Walking Dragon, he would definitely not be able to enter this fork in the road, and there was no need to worry about encountering the Earth Walking Dragon here.

After walking for ten minutes, Wang Xiaotian stopped, lowered his voice and said to Cao Lianyou: "Let's not go, what if there is a dead end ahead?"

Cao Lianyou whispered: "Wouldn't it happen to meet those people when you went back at this time?"

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while, "Let's rest here first, let Xiao Hei and the little monkey go to the front to explore the way, if it's not a dead end, let's go forward." If it's a dead end, I guess, they should also be scattered. Let's go back, we only need to deal with a small number of people, and the odds are still very good. ”

Cao Lianyou nodded in agreement.

Wang Xiaotian squatted down and touched the black dog's head, "Xiao Hei, you go to the front to see if there is a way out." If there is, come back immediately. ”

The black dog whimpered twice and ran forward with the little monkey on his back.

After a while, the torches were extinguished, and it was pitch black in the fork in the road. Cao Lianyou was very scared, clinging to Wang Xiaotian, her body trembling slightly.

Wang Xiaotian raised his right palm, silently using the Force, and flames erupted from his palm. With the light, Cao Lian's pale little face regained its blood color.

Wang Xiaotian asked with concern, "Are you better?"

Cao Lianyou nodded, "Much better." In the past, my aunt used to use Force flames to illuminate me. ”

"Why are you so afraid of the dark?"

Cao Lianyou was silent for a while, and said: "I often have a nightmare, dreaming that I am locked in a place where there is no light at all, no matter how I cry and struggle, no one pays attention. ”

"In that dark place, I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, except my own cries. Every time I wake up from this nightmare. ”

Cao Lianyou didn't know that the nightmares she said were actually her real experiences when she was a child.

Her mother is the eldest princess of the Canaan Federation, Nia Khahid. In that very conservative place (women must wear large robes, veils and no body can be exposed anywhere when they go out), if the news of unmarried pregnancy spreads, even a princess will definitely be sentenced to death.

Therefore, with the help of her personal maid, Princess Nia gave birth to Cao Lianyou, and could only raise her secretly. When someone came, they hid her in a large box with a Force array to ensure that she could breathe smoothly and fall asleep quickly.

When Cao Lianyou was six months old, the princess dismissed her personal maid and a loyal guard, and asked them to take her out of the palace.

It's just that there is no such thing as an impermeable wall. Cao Lianyou's existence was still noticed by people. For the Canaanite Commonwealth, she is a stain on the royal family that must be quietly removed.

For the Kingdom of Cilo, the blood of the noble Augustus family cannot be left outside, and must be secretly brought back to the country.

Therefore, Cao Lianyou and her adoptive parents were tracked down and killed by many unknown sources. They had to do everything possible to live in seclusion, escape, wandering, and then seclusion, escape, and wandering. It wasn't until Cao Lianyou was more than six years old that they met the hermit organization.

In the six years from Cao Lianyou's birth to the hermit organization sending them to the Eastern Chu Kingdom, most of the time, that box was Cao Lianyou's entire world.

Cao Lianyou actually has memories of these unpleasant experiences, but she deliberately chooses to forget. But these experiences, which have not been completely eliminated, still recur in the form of nightmares.

Wang Xiaotian hurriedly hugged her thin shoulders and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." I'm with you. Come, I'll teach you to light the Force flame. In this way, it will no longer be dark anywhere. ”

Cao Lianyou nodded excitedly.

The skill of Force Flame is actually not complicated. Cao Lianyou quickly learned, with two small hands, holding two orange-red flames, smiling very happily.

In the past, Wu Ling'er didn't teach Cao Lianyou this skill, on the one hand, because since Cao Lianyou came to the Eastern Chu Kingdom, Wu Ling'er has been with her. Cao Lianyou has nightmares, and Wu Ling'er will give her the most gentle comfort.

But she didn't ask in depth the reason why Cao Lian was afraid of the dark, after all, it is common for children to be afraid of the dark.

On the other hand, it is because Cao Lianyou's body has always been very weak, and the skill of Force Flame is very costly for the Force.

The principle of this skill is to eject the Force from the palm of your hand and at the same time cause the Force to collide with each other and cause it to burn.

Therefore, even if Wu Ling'er knew the reason why Cao Lianyou was afraid of the dark, she would rather use the skill of the Force Flame to comfort Cao Lianyou, and would not teach this skill to Cao Lianyou.

Because she was worried, Cao Lianyou's body became weaker by using this skill.

This is the difference in thinking between women and men. What the man thinks about is how to fundamentally solve the problem. For example, Cao Lian was afraid of the dark, Wang Xiaotian didn't even think about it, so he taught her the skills of the Force Flame to fundamentally solve the problem of fear of the dark. And Wu Ling'er will use this skill herself to solve the problem on the surface.

Cao Lianyou played for a while, the Force was consumed quickly, and she felt a little tired. Wang Xiaotian asked her to extinguish the Force flames and lean on him to close her eyes and recuperate. He himself used flames to illuminate Cao Lianyou.

After more than ten minutes, Wang Xiaotian suddenly heard footsteps.
