Chapter 66: Danger lurks
Under the worried gaze of everyone, Xiaoqiu did suddenly burp, lazily patted her round little belly, and then squinted her little eyes, and actually fell asleep.
Seeing this, Zhao Wan'er couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Xiaoqiu...... Xiaoqiu, what's wrong with it?
Xiao Ling also carefully examined it with some concern, but Ling Xiao said at this moment: "Don't worry, I wasn't sure before, but seeing Xiao Qiu's appearance, I dare to assert that those poisonous fruits did not do Xiao Qiu any harm, but made Xiao Qiu absorb a lot of energy, and at this moment he was asleep, he must be consuming the energy in those fruits." ”
Hearing Ling Xiao's words of affirmation, Xiao Ling was relieved.
And Xiao Ling's explanation also made Zhao Wan'er breathe a sigh of relief, and then gently hugged Xiaoqiu in her arms, for fear of disturbing it.
After Xiaoqiu's episode, the sky also became extremely dark, Xiao Ling stacked a pile of dry firewood together, and then lit a fire, and everyone rested around the fire.
After a night's rest, everyone also swept away the fatigue of the previous escape, thanks to the figs they ate yesterday.
Yesterday, Xiao Ling also asked Zhou Ziming to take him to the place where these figs were collected, to see if he could find some more.
It's just that yesterday when Zhou Ziming was picking these wild fruits, because he didn't understand the reason, he specially picked those good-looking fruits, as for those figs, they just happened to grow nearby, and Zhou Ziming picked them back.
Therefore, when the two returned to the place where they had picked figs again, they naturally found nothing.
"Xiao Ling, where are we going now?" Zhao Wan'er walked for a long time, looking at the scenery around her that had barely changed, and couldn't help asking.
Xiao Ling said as she walked: "Didn't I tell you yesterday, I came here once, and I have the impression that there is a cave not far in front of me, where I used to live for a year, and now it has only been a few years, and it should still exist." ”
While saying this, Xiao Ling quickly led everyone through a piece of grass, and there was no danger along the way, except for the occasional encounter with a few unknown mysterious beasts with small size, but with Ling Xiao's help, everyone also avoided in time.
There were no dangers along the way, Xiao Ling followed the instructions in Ling Xiao's memory, and quickly found the location of the cave.
This cave was taken by Ling Xiao with the help of his father after killing a fiery bear.
At the beginning, after Ling Xiao's father Ling Tianhong defeated the explosive bear, he did not kill it, not because he was soft-hearted, but because the skin of the fierce bear was as thick as stone, even though Ling Tianhong was already a long-famous Tianxuan powerhouse, but he couldn't break through the defense of the explosive bear, and could only beat it to the point that he couldn't stand.
Later, Ling Tianhong thought of a way, which was to take a few of those poisonous fruits picked by Zhou Ziming yesterday and feed them into the belly of the explosive bear, and the result was self-evident, the explosive bear with extremely strong defense turned into a puddle of corpse water in the blink of an eye.
This is also the reason why Ling Xiao is so impressed by those poisonous fruits.
When he came to the vicinity of the cave, seeing that the nearby weeds were overgrown and there was no trace of any creatures staying, Xiao Ling was also immediately relieved.
The group made their way through the haystack to the cave.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the cave, the two wooden beds that Ling Xiao had left here were still there, but a thick layer of dust had formed on them.
Next to the bed, there were several sets of clothes that Ling Xiao and his father had changed in, as well as some simple utensils for daily needs.
"Great, I didn't think you still have so many things here. Zhao Wan'er said with some joy.
Xiao Ling carefully looked at the surrounding environment, this cave was obviously specially built, very suitable for human habitation, staying in it did not feel stuffy, and there was enough light.
Obviously, Ling Xiao's father and son must have spent a lot of effort to transform this place back then.
In fact, they haven't walked much since yesterday when they have come all the way here, and this place belongs to the outermost part of the Netherworld, so naturally there will be no danger.
But in the next few days, Xiao Ling and his party really appreciated the horror of this netherworld death place.
The reason is that after two days of rest, although everyone has temporarily calmed down, they have not eaten during this period, and their stomachs are already hungry.
It's not that they didn't want to catch food, but because of this Ling Xiao's reminder, Xiao Ling asked everyone to stay in the cave, and he was responsible for finding food.
At first, Xiao Ling found that there was a clear river behind the cave, so she planned to catch some fish to satisfy her hunger.
But when Xiao Ling was about to make a move, he didn't expect that the seemingly lethal little fish in the river actually jumped up from the water and spit out a water arrow at Xiao Ling in mid-air.
This sudden scene also scared Xiao Ling a lot, but fortunately, he was not slow to react, and rolled in an extremely embarrassed way before avoiding the water arrow.
And the water arrow finally landed on the ground in front of Xiao Ling, instantly smashing out a fist-sized hole.
This scene suddenly made Xiao Ling break out in a cold sweat.
Ling Xiao, seeing that Xiao Ling was so embarrassed by a mere arrowtooth fish, he couldn't help but say angrily: "It's just a silver arrowtooth fish, what are you panicking about." If people see you like this, my reputation will be tarnished by you. ”
When Xiao Ling heard this, she rolled her eyes, and at the same time scolded angrily: "You bastard, since you know the origin of this thing, why didn't you inform me earlier, I was almost hit by that guy's water arrow." ”
"Hmph, this arrowtooth fish is the lowest-level beast here, if you can't even deal with it, I think you'll starve to death here." Ling Xiao said in a salty tone.
"You said lightly, if I starve to death, you will die too. Xiao Ling muttered.
Who knows, Ling Xiao said lightly: "It's okay to die like this, so I don't have to let you go out and ruin my reputation." ”
Xiao Ling was speechless for a moment.
After several attempts, Xiao Ling found that he was no match for the arrowtooth fish at all, and had no choice but to give up the idea of catching it.
After two days like this, Xiao Ling couldn't help it anymore, so she had to say to Ling Xiao: "I can't do it, I'm dying of hunger, do you have any good way, otherwise I will really die." ”
"No future!" Ling Xiao scolded angrily.
He seemed to be very unaccustomed to Xiao Ling's appearance, but after thinking about it, he said helplessly: "You let people knock you out, and I will control this body at that time, and I will go out to find some food." ”
When Xiao Ling heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and then she said, "Why didn't I expect that you are really a genius." ”
Ling Xiao directly filtered his words.
So, Xiao Ling quickly returned to the cave, found Zhao Wan'er who was resting, and said, "Miss, hurry up and knock me out." ”
Zhao Wan'er couldn't help but prove it at first glance, and then looked at Xiao Ling suspiciously, and then asked, "Xiao Ling, are you okay?"
"What can I do, knock me out quickly. Xiao Ling said urgingly.
"Okay, why do you want me to knock you unconscious? Did you eat something bad and cause you to become delirious?" Zhao Wan'er asked nervously.
After all, Xiao Ling is now the backbone of their group, if Xiao Ling has any accidents, others really don't know what to do.
Seeing Zhao Wan'er so nervous, Xiao Ling couldn't help crying and laughing.
So, I had to patiently explain to Zhao Wan'er.
Of course, Xiao Ling naturally didn't say anything about Ling Xiao, but just told Zhao Wan'er that once she was knocked out, she would briefly recover a lot of strength.
After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, Zhao Wan'er didn't suspect it, but she just asked her to knock Xiao Ling unconscious, but she still couldn't do it.
Just when Xiao Ling was looking at him, a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of his head, and then Xiao Ling's whole person fell softly into Zhao Wan'er's arms.
But it turned out that Zhou Ziming, who had been watching from the side for a long time, saw that Zhao Wan'er still refused to do anything, so he had to reluctantly take action for him to knock Xiao Ling unconscious.
Some hurriedly hugged Xiao Ling, and when Zhao Wan'er was about to blame Zhou Ziming for her recklessness, Xiao Ling in her arms struggled to stand up from Zhao Wan'er.
At first glance, Zhao Wan'er had a slight hallucination for a while, and Xiao Ling in front of her gave her the feeling of being a different person.
is no longer the Xiao Ling she is familiar with, but like a stranger.
This feeling made Zhao Wan'er frown, and for some reason she felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, this is not Zhao Wan'er's illusion, but the one who controls her body at this moment has been replaced by Ling Xiao.
For Ling Xiao, Zhao Wan'er also had some contact with Zhao Mansion in the few days when she fled, but the situation was chaotic at that time, and Zhao Wan'er naturally didn't think about it so much.
But now it's different, I have to say that sometimes a woman's intuition is very keen, and she suddenly noticed the changes in Xiao Ling's body.
Ling Xiao has always disliked dragging mud and water, and after taking control of his body, he said coldly: "I'll come when I go." ”
After speaking, he ignored Zhao Wan'er, carried the Shadow Dance Sword he had captured last time, and went outside to hunt the mysterious beasts.
After half a day's effort, Ling Xiao had already returned, and he was carrying a dead mysterious beast in his hand.
"Okay, that's our food for the past two days, it's very dangerous around here, if you don't have to, stay inside, don't run around. Ling Xiao coldly instructed.
Then he walked to the corner by himself and sat down.
Everyone was uncomfortable with Xiao Ling's indifferent attitude, and they all looked at Xiao Ling in disbelief for a while.
Ling Xiao closed his eyes and remained motionless, and it was not until a long time that he reopened his eyes, revealing a look familiar to everyone.
"What's the matter, why are you looking at me like this?" Xiao Ling said as she looked at everyone puzzled.
