Hey, wake up!

Lin Ye shook the hairy rat spread on the ground and pushed its body, and the hairy rat that was so frightened that it fainted on the spot finally opened its eyes and looked at Lin Ye in a daze.

"Squeak!" After seeing Lin Ye, the hairy rat screamed again and fainted again.

It's just cowardly, oh no, it's meant to be a mouse.

Lin Ye thought angrily, in order to prevent the hairy mouse from fainting for the third time. When its eyelids opened slightly, and when it was about to wake up, Lin Ye took a few steps back,

Quietly watch it. As long as enough space was maintained, the hairy rat finally did not faint again. It timidly looked at the pitch-black forest night, and although it couldn't see anything, it could still feel an invisible coercion that could crush it to the ground.

The hairy rat instinctively fell to the ground, trembling and not daring to move, and Lin Ye remembered that his coercion had not been put away after using it against the cave dragon.

Somewhat embarrassed to retract the coercion, the hairy rat was light, raised his head and looked at Lin Ye timidly.

"Huh?" Lin Ye tried to scream, he tried to release his kindness, and little by little he got closer to the hairy mouse.

The voice of the hairy rat that had regained its composure trembled, and it took Lin Ye a lot of effort to calm it down.

Do you know what's going on inside?Lin Ye tried to communicate with the hairy mouse.

Lin Ye was referring to the sealed passage, which contained a deep and dark mine containing natural stones. However, the hairy rat didn't know what Lin Ye was trying to express, and whenever Lin Ye took a step closer, it would take a step back, and it was a futile exchange after all.

It is a female hairy rat with a fine whisker on her mouth, is able to sense the movement of air around her, and is able to measure the size of her hole. It has a somewhat large belly and seems to be pregnant.

While staring at Lin Ye, the hairy rat still looked at the sealed passage on the side from time to time, and his forefoot occasionally leaned to that side, as if he wanted to go there. Its breathing was a little rapid, and in addition to Lin Ye's cause, it seemed that part of the factor was the mine.

The hairy rat, which has a sympathetic relationship with the cave dragon, came to the lower level at the moment with the same purpose as Lin Ye, that is, to pass through the sealed passage.

After Lin Ye pushed a small step, the hairy rat not only did not retreat, but rushed to the passage in a puff of smoke, quickly dug a small hole, and then fled.

The passage was buried about five meters long, and in just five minutes, the hairy rat dug through it and ran into the unfathomable passage.

Yes~

Lin Ye was stunned, he didn't expect this hairy mouse to run so fast.

Looking down at the hole dug out, it can be used for the hairy rat to pass through, but it is too small for Lin Ye, can't it be dug a little bigger? Lin Ye said in his heart, of course, the hairy rat can't hear it. His claws weren't made to dig holes, but they could be expanded.

In the intense start of construction, ten minutes passed, and Lin Ye finally dug a tunnel for him to pass through based on the tunnel dug by the hairy mouse.

Walking through the tunnel and stepping into the tunnel that had been sealed, Lin Ye suddenly felt a chill stand on end. He could still hear some of the cavemen chirping with each other, but now through the five-meter-long earthen wall, the sound was inaudible.

It was so quiet that even the sound of the heartbeat was clear. Whether it is the blue sky and white clouds or the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, these have nothing to do with the forest night at a depth of 100 meters underground.

Lin Ye's heart swelled up with some fear for no reason. Rather than being silent, Lin Ye preferred to hear some noisy sounds, so that he felt that he was not alone. Fortunately, there are footprints of hairy rats in front, and the delicate footprints are very conspicuous in the soil.

The birds here are unripe.

Lin Ye took a deep breath and felt that the air was a little humid. He put his heart to his throat and followed the hairy mouse. Enhanced night vision is like wearing an infrared detector and can only see clearly at a distance of five meters.

There are occasional fluorescent mushrooms overhead, and it is these that illuminate the forest night. There are quite a few forks in the road on both sides. In the path of the hairy rats, there is another passage blocked by stones and dirt. It seems that this is the second line of defense for cave dragons. And the hairy rat still dug a small hole here.

"Hosts are advised to explore the surrounding area. The system reminded at this time, it seemed to know more than Lin Ye.

Lin Ye of course listened carefully to the system's intimate prompts, and under the guidance of the system, he walked along a somewhat empty earthen wall, temporarily detached from the route of the hairy mouse, and walked on a wide avenue, and at the end of the road, there was an entrance for the troglodyte dragon to raise his head through.

Somewhat...... Familiar~

Lin Ye tilted his head, looked at this entrance, and suddenly realized that this was not the cave dragon's lair.

Didn't expect to have one here too!

Lin Ye was overjoyed, and he was about to rush in immediately, but as soon as his right foot entered the main room, he retracted again.

Dark, forested.

Lin Ye saw that the floor of the main room was covered with radial black patterns, and at the same time, the walls were densely covered with pitch-black liquid, like pure black oil, which had turned into a gelatinous shape at this moment. Unlike the black liquid that Lin Ye saw on the back of the cave dragon, these gels did not move, and it seemed that they had lost their activity.

There was not a single dragon in the lair, not even the bones of a burrowing dragon.

Deep and dark, silent, the entire main room was dozens or hundreds of times darker than the underground waterways in the dense forest area, and the fluorescent mushrooms did not grow around, Lin Ye's visual range was instantly reduced to three meters, and he could only see about one-fifth of the space of the main room.

Lin Ye raised his heart to his throat, and he cautiously passed through the main room, avoiding the black pattern under his feet. According to the structural model of the nest in his mind, Lin Ye went down the main room. His goal is to place a storage room with natural stones, hoping to have a corresponding harvest.

Then in the passage below, black gel filled the entire space, like a thick cobweb, with the wall as a fulcrum, and like a complex neural network connected to each other, filling the entire passage, leaving only a small gap.

The passage was diagonally down, and it should have been able to accommodate two troglodytes passing through at the same time.

Lin Ye's heart was pounding, and he slowly stretched out a paw and walked down little by little through the gap in the gel.

His vision was completely blocked by the gel in front of him, and if there was any creature hidden in front of him at this moment, Lin Ye would not be able to see anything.

He could only tense his nerves and pay close attention to his surroundings.

The environment has changed subtly because of Lin Ye's arrival. The humidity of the air, the temperature, and the flow of air have all changed slightly, and this is a disruption to the space that has maintained a wonderful balance.

Just about halfway through the walk. One of the gels connecting the upper and lower walls seemed to have reached its limit, and it broke violently like a taut muscle, and the broken end was swung right on the claw that Lin Ye didn't have time to retract because of the effect of the recoil force!

Oops!
