Chapter 15: Cave Adventure: Siege by Poisonous Spiders 2
With the two small lanterns of the idiot ghost, there was a light in front of him, although this red tone made the black cave even more terrifying, but Tao Xiaozhi also wanted to take this opportunity to appreciate the structure in this cave. The inside of this cave is actually very spacious, much larger than the entrance of the cave, crooked, bottomless, sometimes narrow and sometimes wide, when narrow it is as big as a house, when it is wide, even hundreds of people can accommodate it! The walls of the cave are full of cobwebs, but there is no trace of spiders!
It's too strange, Tao Xiaozhi said, do spiders also live in such a dark cave, they can't see anything at all, it's pitch black here! Besides, there are no prey such as small flying insects that can be caught.
Suddenly, the cave in front of it forked and split in two. Tao Xiaozhi and the idiot ghost stayed stupidly, not knowing what to do.
"Which way are you going?" Tao Xiaozhi patted the idiot ghost on the shoulder, "Left or right?"
The idiot ghost doesn't care about your left and right, just close his eyelids, the two "red lanterns" are extinguished, and he still has two "red apples" on his face.
"Men on the left and women on the right," Tao Xiaozhi said, "Let's go to the left!"
The idiot didn't seem to tell whether he was male or female, but walked to the right. Tao Xiaozhi dragged him back, just took a step, patted his head and said, "How did I confuse the stupid star is obviously a woman, or are you smart, let's go to the right!"
Tao Xiaozhi and the idiot continued to walk forward, the hole was no longer flat, but oblique downward, and the slope was very steep, the ground was very slippery, if you were not careful, you were likely to roll down this dark hole that I don't know how deep, and I don't know which bone was intact if I fell. Tao Xiaozhi picked up a small stone from the crack in the stone wall and threw it down, and it sounded for a long time before stopping. This shows that there is still a long way to go.
Tao Xiaozhi and the idiot ghost held on to the cave wall and cautiously continued to grope forward.
It took them a long time to walk through this steep hole, and there was a fork in front of them. Tao Xiaozhi still walked according to the train of thought just now and continued to the right.
This cave is not as steep as when it just came out, but it is crooked, and they don't dare to go fast, for fear of hitting a wall, and second, for fear that a monster will suddenly appear around the corner, and they can't escape if they want to.
As Tao Xiaozhi and the idiot ghost continued to go deeper, the cave wall became more and more damp, and there were more and more spider webs on it, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, Tao Xiaozhi had to wipe it off with his hands to continue to move forward, but he still didn't see the shadow of the spider.
It's strange, Tao Xiaozhi thought, after forming so many webs, there are no spiders
The air in the cave was humid and cold, and Tao Xiaozhi's hairs stood upside down, and he shined a few colds one after another.
Why did it suddenly get cold, Tao Xiaozhi said, it was still sunny outside.
The sound of "dong dong dong" is crisp and sharp, and in the dark and quiet cave, it sounds particularly loud and emotional: blues, cold, terrifying.
This is the sound of water droplets.
"Is this the sound of water drops or the sound of blood drops?" Tao Xiaozhi's lips trembled, swallowed the cold saliva in his mouth, and said to the idiot, "It sounds weird and terrifying!"
The idiot ghost just likes the dark, he just likes horror, because he is a ghost, the more the environment is like this, he is excited, and the more excited he is, the more he wants to scream, but his tongue is tied in a dead knot and he can't scream, but this does not prevent him from grinning and smirking, and blood and tears of excitement flow from the corners of his eyes.
Tao Xiaozhi looked at the stupid appearance of the idiot ghost, holding his breath in his heart, wanting to laugh but unable to laugh, looking aggrieved.
"Alright, alright!" Tao Xiaozhi said, "Don't shed your horrible blood and tears anymore, even your white clothes are dyed red!"
Suddenly, Tao Xiaozhi's cervical spine trembled, and a drop of cold water dripped on it, which frightened Tao Xiaozhi to grab the sky and the ground, calling his father and mother.
"Help, help. Tao Xiaozhi found that the idiot ghost was grinning and laughing at him, so he suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "It turned out to be just a drop of water, even if a monster comes, I'm not afraid!"
Tao Xiaozhi found out that this place is not suitable for making noise, what should I do if I attract the enemy? Therefore, Tao Xiaozhi closed his mouth, held his head high, and continued to move forward.
Blood or water was still dripping, just like the fear in Tao Xiaozhi's heart, drop by drop falling in the darkness.
Tao Xiaozhi's cervical spine began to itch again, it was not a drop of water, it was probably a psychological effect, and he didn't want to pay much attention to it. But he soon paid a terrible price for his indifference, and this tragic price was actually a drop of blood!
There was a tingling pain in his cervical spine, his skin was like a layer of frost, and he suddenly felt that his hairs were standing on end, and the joints of his whole body seemed to be nailed with cold iron nails, and he couldn't move, and he was cold to the bone! Tao Xiaozhi's consciousness suddenly blurred, and his vision was also whirlpooling, and he couldn't see anything! He felt as if his body and mind had suddenly disappeared! But this pain quickly passed, like a gust of wind, swept by! The cervical spine is no longer tingling, the pimples on the skin are gone, the joints of the whole body are moving freely, there is no discomfort, the consciousness is also very clear, the vision is also very open and clear, and I can see everything that should be seen in the dark, and what should not be seen is also seen. It's like nothing happened, like a dream!
It's strange, Tao Xiaozhi said, I feel weird, it seems to hurt so much, and it doesn't seem to have that kind of thing!
Tao Xiaozhi touched the cervical vertebrae, grabbed a finger-sized spider in his hand, and was shocked at a glance: it, the black spider, has a circle of yellow rings on its eight limbs, these are not worth mentioning, the most shocking thing is that its eyes will glow, like two fireflies, but that kind of eyes are gloomy and evil! The glowing eyes will actually give people a gloomy feeling, what kind of eyes are this!
"You dare to bite me, damn it!" Tao Xiaozhi threw it to the ground in anger and trampled him into meat sauce.
"It's so bad to drink my blood as hot tea"
Tao Xiaozhi touched his cervical spine again, and a drop of blood was stained on his middle finger.
It's just a drop of blood, Tao Xiaozhi doesn't care about the tunnel, and the loss is not too big.
Although it was just a drop of blood, this tragic price had a significant impact on Tao Xiaozhi in the future, so I won't mention it here.
Tao Xiaozhi finally figured out why spiders live in the dark: because their eyes glow!
The idiot scanned the cold cave walls around him with his eyes like red lanterns, and found that although there were many spider webs, he could not see any other spiders.
Now is not the time to think about this, the most important thing now is to find the fire star and rescue the stupid star.
So, the fearless Tao Xiaozhi and the idiot ghost who was not afraid of the sky and the earth continued to go deep into the cave.
The cave is still crooked, and after walking for a long time, I suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water, which turned gracefully. There is also a river not far from the cliff, has it reached the exit?
So, Tao Xiaozhi and the idiot ghost quickened their pace. Soon, a golden glow shone through the darkness, and it shone through a hole! Where the sun shines in, it must be an exit!
