Ye Xi grabbed the feathers of the old swift and lowered his body.

In the underground passage, the cool breeze with a strong earthy smell blew his hair, and the python skin coat was vibrated with a rattle.

Although this old swift is old, it is still beautiful, and its pure black feathers are too soft and smooth, it looks like it has been greased, and it glides in the dark like a black leopard, silent and elegant.

During the flight, Ye Xi occasionally raised his head to look around.

There is no dead silence in the underground passages.

There are a lot of insects and even large insects here.

In Wu's sight, a small insect like an ant is a small dim blue point of light, a large insect like a giant earthworm is a bright line-like light, and a small guy like a mole is a fist-sized ball of light. This is bright or dark, large and small, representing hundreds of millions of turquoise points of light in life.

This passage is so old that every inch of soil has life, and a thriving underground ecosphere has been formed.

Ye Xi is not the only one in the team who can see these insects and animals.

The people sent to protect Ye Xi this time are all ninth-level warriors except for the stone pan, so although there is no light source underground, they can still see things with their super night vision ability.

And the birds on which they ride.

Considering that they have to fly in the underground passage, the ferocious birds sent this time have strong night vision, and when they fly, they even pecked at delicious insects when they found them.

"Huh!"

The old swift swooped slightly, lowered its head, and accurately dragged out a three-meter-long black centipede from the ground.

It sucks like a noodle, swallowing the big centipede as it flies.

Just swallowed a large centipede.

"Huh!"

The old swift flew high again, and then raised its head and slammed it against the wall of the cave overhead.

On the roof of the cave there was a large earthy brown spotted spider, the size of a basin, quietly and motionlessly ready to hunt, but such a hidden insect still did not escape the eyes of the old swift, and was caught in the beak like lightning.

It flew with the spider in its mouth for a while, and when the spider's legs gave up not moving, it shrank its neck and swallowed it.

Ye Xi was bored and silently counted the insects swallowed by the old swift.

Within five hours, the old swift ate thirty-five spiders of various sizes, fourteen large centipedes of different species, and fifty-two strange insects that I don't know if they were mole crickets or whatever, and finally seemed to have a full burp.

When the team stopped to prepare for food, the old swift and the other birds refused to eat because they were too full.

This time, in order to take care of Ye Xi, a distinguished guest, the team stopped to trim and eat in the morning, noon and evening, and left enough sleep time at night, and did not rush away.

But Rao stopped and stopped, and with the terrible speed of the ferocious birds, they reached their destination in two days.

"Lord Cangxin, it's here. ”

The stone pan patted the back of the bird's head and made it stop.

The stone plate that hit the head stopped, and dozens of fierce birds followed suit.

The crowd jumped off the back of the ferocious fowl and gathered together. A group of Hayabusa swifts moved their claws to their vicinity.

Cang Xin took out a small Yao Stone.

It is a superb stone that shines like the sun, and when it is reflected on the cave walls, there are irregularly ripples of rainbow colors.

Cang Xin held the Yaoshi and looked around, and listened carefully to the outside.

"What kind of terrain is out there?" she asked.

Stone Plate: "There are many mountains outside, and this passage is located inside a high mountain. ”

Cang Xin cautiously listened to the movement outside again before nodding and saying, "Okay, you go and clear the entrance of the cave." ”

"Yes!"

Stone Pan commanded.

He grabbed a few rocks protruding from the cave wall, climbed to the top of the cave like a gecko, and hung upside down with his back down. Then the muscles of his arm swelled slightly, and he grasped the rock with the palm of one hand to fix himself, and with the other hand free, he moved the boulder that blocked the roof of the cave little by little.

Click-click-click.

The sound of rocks grinding slowly.

A hole three meters in diameter was revealed, and a dim light cast it.

The stone pan crawled out of the hole, and after looking around the outside to make sure it was safe, he leaned down at the entrance of the cave and gestured to them.

Cang Xin: "Let's go." ”

Ye Xi was just about to leave, Cang Xin glanced back at him, and said uneasily: "Xiwu will come out later." Listen to Green Ear, a few of you will guard the Xiwu in the cave first, and let's go outside and have a look. ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Several fighters took orders.

Ye Xi retracted the foot he had taken, blinked, stayed obediently without speaking, and then raised his head to send Cang Xin and them away.

......

After about ten minutes, Cang Xin returned.

"It's safe outside, come out!"

"Good. Ye Xi just came out.

Of course, instead of clinging to the rock like a gecko, he climbed up like a stone pan, but bent his knees and jumped directly to the ground with his jumping ability.

Except for the stone pan, the rest of the warriors sent to protect Ye Xi were all ninth-level warriors, and their jumping ability was only stronger than Ye Xi, and none of them were weaker than Ye Xi, and they also jumped out directly one after another. That relaxed appearance is almost suspicious of the spring spirits.

In the end, only a flock of ferocious birds remained in the team.

Among all the fierce birds, the old swift has the strongest strength and the highest status, and the other fierce birds all stepped aside and let the old swift come out first.

Old Swift walked to the bottom of the hole.

It can't bounce well, and it can't jump dozens of meters high like the fighters and jump out of the hole directly.

Of course, it is difficult for a bird to jump high.

"Can you come out?"

Ye Xi squatted at the entrance of the cave and looked inside.

The bottom is not the main passage, it is a small passage that extends out, so it is not spacious, and with the size of the fierce birds, it is impossible to spread its wings, so he is a little worried.

"Squeak. ”

Old Swift whispered in response.

It hesitated for a moment, then turned its head to look at the ferocious bird next to it.

All the falcons and swifts folded their wings and stood on the ground in a circle, looking at its predecessor with black eyes.

Ye Xi: "Why don't you stay here and wait for us." ”

Cang Xin said on the side: "No, this is a long way from the territory of the substitute cephalic larvae, and we still need them." ”

"Do you have rope with you? let them hold the rope and we'll drag them out. ”

Cang Xin: "I didn't bring it, they should have brought it." ”

"Lord Cangxin, I brought it!" a Cang warrior shouted.

"Wait, it looks like it's ready to come out on its own!"

Seeing that he was about to be dragged out, Old Swift finally decided to let go of a little bit of face in front of the younger generations of the fierce birds. It walked to the cave wall, pierced the rock wall with its sharp claws, and moved to the entrance of the cave step by step, as if it were climbing.

The movements are clumsy and somewhat cute.

The falcons and swifts below all held their heads high, sitting in rows staring at the old swifts, their dark eyes shining.

Old Swift didn't look underneath.

It couldn't get out of the cave with one last step to go, so it hung upside down like a bat.

Cang Xin lay around the entrance of the cave, stretched out his arms and hugged the old swift's claws, trying to drag it out. Old Swift still stubbornly refused to be dragged out.

Finally it sticks one of its wings out of the hole, and crawls out of it with difficulty.
