Chapter 77: The Ant Cave (Part I)

"Huh?"

Shi Zhengyang was in a coma for a long time, gradually woke up, turned over, and suddenly found that the ground was cold, and the surrounding black rumbling, and exclaimed: "Yuejun, are you there?"

"I'm here. Crescent Moon Bai said: "You finally woke up!"

"What kind of place is this?" Shi Zhengyang gently snorted his right hand, and a soft white light bloomed from his palm, illuminating the entire cave thoroughly. He saw Luo Erniang at a glance and exclaimed, "Why is she there?"

Luo Erniang was already kneeling on the ground, her lips were pale at this time, and she bowed down and bowed: "The slave has seen the king of the south!"

"You are ......" Shi Zhengyang raised his eyebrows and looked at the crescent moon.

"She's my person. Crescent Moon Bai said lightly.

Shi Zhengyang nodded, saw Yun Tianjia again, opened his mouth, and said nothing. From a standpoint, Yun Tianjia is a person from a hostile country, and he is originally incompatible, but he has taken action several times to protect the crescent moon, which is reasonable, and he can only be regarded as a friend at this time.

Crescent Moon Bai said: "This is an underground cave. After we fell, the entrance to the cave was blocked by mudslides and trees, and we couldn't get out, so we had to find an open place to heal from our injuries first. ”

"It doesn't matter what hurts me. Shi Zhengyang smiled self-deprecatingly, "After this farce, there are too many lessons that can be learned." But now is not the time for reflection. We now have no water, no food, and even weapons and equipment. The longer you wait here, the more dangerous it becomes. It's better to find a way out first. ”

"That's it," Crescent Moon Bai looked at the wounded and disabled of the three people, and said, "I am the only one here who is not injured, you rest here first, and I will explore the way." ”

"Wait, I'll go with you!" Yun Tianjia said in a hoarse voice, "I was just poisoned, and now I'm basically fine." It's dark in the cave, and it's not appropriate for you to go alone. Luo Erniang's physical strength is weak, and Nanwang has not recovered from his serious injuries, so it is better for me to accompany you to explore the way. ”

The tunnels are low, and you can only bend over to walk.

Yun Tianjia turned on the spiritual detection, leading the way first, and the crescent moon white followed, following in the same direction.

After walking for a while, the tunnel forked.

Yun Tianjia made a number mark at the fork with stones, and then continued along the tunnel on the left.

Then we keep encountering forks, and the forks are not all only two roads, sometimes there may be three or four at the same time, some oblique up, some crooked downward, circling and winding, ups and downs, like a three-dimensional tunnel network.

The direction of the tunnel is not irregular, think about it carefully, this tunnel is like a big tree rooted in the ground, tangled and bifurcated, the more down the finer it becomes, but no matter how complex the root system, in the end it is concentrated into a bunch and emerges from the ground.

"Strange! A natural cave isn't supposed to look like this. ”

The two of them kept walking along the leftmost road, and after half an hour, they returned to the place they had marked, and Yun Tianjia speculated: "It's not a natural cave, and it's definitely not artificially dug." Then this should be the hole made by the beasts of the mountains. ”

"There was a sour smell in the air, and I thought it might be an ant's nest. But the nest of ordinary ants can't be so big, and since it's an ant's nest, where did the ants go?" ”

Yun Tianjia thought deeply: "If this is an ant's nest, then it must have been destroyed by other soul beasts. I have observed the habits of ants, and it is impossible for a simple ant's nest to dig like this. Nine times out of ten, there is still an anteater living here, which eats all the ants, digs the ant holes wide, communicates with each other, and then the dove occupies the magpie's nest. Our only exit is sealed now, so we can only find the closest place to the ground and dig another tunnel to get out. ”

The two of them turned around in the tunnel for a while, and Yun Tianjia suddenly smiled slightly, and said, "If He Dali and Long Yuandong are here, we don't have to worry." The two of them are experts at digging holes. Such a small hole was dug out in minutes. ”

"Minutes?" Crescent Moon Bai heard this kind of spoken language for the first time, and felt very fresh, and said: "He Dali and Long Yuandong are indeed rare talents. But you're even better than they are. ”

"Oh?" Yun Tianjia was surprised: "What have I done that deserves such a high opinion from you?"

"It's not something that can be said in one sentence. Crescent Moon Bai said: "Actually, I'm right, you have a lot of numbers in your heart." ”

Yun Tianjia stopped and looked back at the crescent-white eyes.

He couldn't see his five fingers in the tunnel, and if it weren't for the spiritual detection, he wouldn't be able to see anything clearly. However, under the surging heart, he is eager to understand the real world in the heart of Crescent Moon. I wondered, does she still have the memories of her previous life? Do you want to talk to her about it?

...... No, at least not yet.

If she didn't have the memory of her previous life, the two didn't have a deep relationship, and they were in the hostile camp of each other, and it would seem abrupt to talk too much. I had to find a chance to find out how much she remembered about herself.

"What's wrong?" Crescent Moon Bai touched his face, it was a little dirty, but in the tunnel, there was no way to do it.

"Nothing. Now that the situation is clear, there is no point in drilling back and forth. Let's go back to Shi Zhengyang and Luo Erniang first. ”

Yun Tianjia turned his head and continued to walk, when he suddenly heard a slight rustling sound, as if someone was digging in the dirt not far away, and it was extremely fast.

With his current cultivation, the spirit probe could not penetrate deep into the soil. He listened carefully to the rock wall, and thought, "He Dalilong Far East didn't know that we were buried here, so it wouldn't be them who came to save us. Then the sound of digging in the ground is probably made by an anteater. After listening for a long time, his heart suddenly palpitated, and he took the hand of the crescent moon, and at the same time activated the Imperial Heavenly Armor, shouting: "Run!"

After walking a few steps, I heard the rocks behind me tumble down, and then there was a loud bang, and the tunnel collapsed, blocking the way back.

"Let's go the other way. The crescent moon said: "Sure enough, there is an anteater! We are in the light, it is in the dark, and it is too late, and all the intersections in the past are sealed!"

Yun Tianjia suddenly detected a huge scale armor tail flashing in front of him, and hurriedly grabbed the crescent moon white, "There is a giant soul beast in front, and the rank is not low." Judging by what I just saw, it should be a long-tailed pangolin. ”

Before the words fell, the tunnel in front of him also began to collapse, and Yun Tianjia hugged the crescent moon white, rolled sideways on the spot, and curled up beside a raised rock.

The collapse at both ends of the tunnel was obviously intentional by the pangolin.

The rocks in the mountains are not integrated, and when they collapse on both sides, they lose support in the middle, and naturally they also collapse. The rock rolled down, bounced off by Yun Tianjia's Imperial Heavenly Armor, and piled up around. After about half a cup of tea, the collapse stopped.

The two were huddled in a narrow slit, unable to move, hugging each other, breathing audibly.
