Inside the channel.

Lin Xin held a torch in one hand and a sword in the other hand and slowly explored the way, stopping from time to time to listen carefully to the movements ahead.

Xiao Lingling followed behind him, and also carefully used her unique sensing secret method to sense the danger of the surrounding environment.

"Brother Linlin. She suddenly approached Lin Xindao softly.

"What's the matter. Lin Xin replied in a soft voice.

"Do you feel as if someone is following us all the time?" Xiao Lingling said in a gnats-like voice.

In this quiet environment, although her voice was small, the distance between the two was close, and Lin Xin could hear it clearly.

"Can you feel it?" Lin Xin didn't expect Xiao Lingling to be able to detect the traces of that person in the dark, he had been thinking about how to lure that person out when he met the big rooster just now, and now that Xiao Lingling said this, he suddenly had a trace of thought.

"Well, I can feel it. Xiao Lingling nodded. "I suspect it's the guy who deliberately threw flares to provoke that monster. ”

Lin Xin groaned for a while.

"Don't rush to find your chance. ”

Xiao Lingling didn't say more.

The two of them walked and stopped, resting every few hours to eat and drink. Then continue to hurry, the cave is basically unable to distinguish between day and night, only according to their sleepy physical state to judge whether it is time to sleep and rest.

The passage of the black cave continued diagonally downward, and it took about a day to walk. The temperature is getting colder and colder, and some thin layers of ice and hoar frost are gradually appearing on the floor of the cave wall.

But the passage also gradually began to appear some small branches and dry firewood, as well as a lot of blood-colored symbols on the walls, which looked a little weird.

"This should be approaching the gathering place of the blood beasts. Lin Xin walked to a set up a extinguished firewood pile, squatted down and touched the residual warmth of the ashes of the fire.

"It's been cold for a while. ”

"Can you still burn us? It's getting colder and colder in here. Xiao Lingling hugged her arms, and her face was a little bad.

"Find a suitable place to light a fire and rest. Lin Xin looked left and right at the lower passage. "The firewood is still unburned. ”

The whole passage is about more than ten meters wide and more than ten meters high, and the cave wall is full of pits, and there are many places that are sunken, like a very shallow cave.

He looked around, and by the light of the torches, he soon found a hole in the wall that was recessed.

"Come here. ”

The two of them picked up all the firewood they could collect around and piled it into the hole in the wall, and then lit some dry wood leaves with flint and steel at the angle of the depression to avoid the wind.

The fire soon lit up in the hole in the wall.

The orange-yellow halo swayed slightly, accompanied by bursts of smoke, quickly spreading through the passage and drifting to both sides.

Lin Xin stood at the mouth of the wall with his sword in his hand, concentrating.

"This smoke will definitely attract nearby creatures, so I'll keep watch for a while. ”

"Then I'll cook some hot water and food. Xiao Lingling hurriedly said.

Lin Xin answered, and was about to continue talking, when he suddenly fell silent and looked carefully towards the front of the passage.

I saw a black-haired horse man holding a scythe, slowly walking in this direction step by step, and hissing as he walked, as he walked, he made a hissing sound, as if he was following the smell of fireworks.

Lin Xin coldly held his sword to meet him.

"Just try the strength of this blood beast. ”

He drew out an ordinary long sword, and when the blood beast didn't react, he took a few steps and stepped forward, and a big pine yang needle shook his hand and struck out.

Six o'clock white light drifted towards the centaurs. Taking advantage of its untimely reaction, it landed its scythe-holding arms.

As soon as the Songyang needle was lit, Lin Xin felt that the blade of the sword was slightly obstructed, as if it was pierced in a very thick leather gum.

Didn't penetrate very deeply. I heard a growl from the centaurs.

'Mother!'

With the force of its arms, the scythe swept over fiercely, slashing towards Lin Xin's neck.

The huge black scythe turned into a black shadow and smashed over, like a black python, bringing gusts of evil wind.

"Yuanyang is angry!" Lin Xin did not flinch, the strongest sword move of the Wuyan Sword Technique was used, and a large amount of scorching air flow was encircled with a sword, and he met it fiercely.

The blade and the sickle collide head-on.

Boom!

The scorching air swept towards the centaur at the moment of collision, causing it to roar in pain, and its black hair was charred and curled up and stuck to its body, and its arms holding the scythe were also blistered at once, just on the previous wound.

The arm hurt, and it fell to the ground with a scythe.

The huge strength also made Lin Xin's side retreat more than ten steps in a row before he slowly stood up and unloaded the huge force.

His face flashed a hint of ruddy,

"That's a lot of effort. ”

At this time, the horseman's arms were full of hot and bulging blisters, and it turned around to escape, but before it took a few steps, it was caught up by Lin Xin, and a sword stabbed into the back of the neck.

The first sword stabbed in, but it was not dead, only a small part of it was pierced, and Lin Xin burst out of his internal qi again, and he strengthened it fiercely.

Laugh at.

The sword pierced through the centaur's neck, its tall body froze and froze, and after a few seconds, black blood poured down the wound.

Lin Xin pulled out the blade fiercely and shook off the black blood on it.

With a bang, the centaur finally fell.

"It took two tricks in a row to take it out, and with my innate fourth-layer internal qi, it was a bit difficult, not to mention other ordinary second- and third-layer disciples. He walked up to the centaur and kicked the big guy to make sure it didn't move. Then he slashed at the centaur head.

hiss

At this moment, the centaurs on the ground suddenly melted, quickly turning into a black liquid and evaporating, and the rising puffs of black smoke faded into the air and disappeared in a few moments.

Only a small piece of blood-red bone remained on the ground.

Lin Xin's sword also slashed into the air.

He was slightly surprised, and looked at the bone fragment on the ground.

The bone fragments are blood-red, half-crescent-shaped, and the whole body is as smooth and moist as glass. It's the size of a thumb nail.

Lin Xin picked up the bone fragment and observed it carefully.

"This is the so-called Blood Beast Skull?"

"Brother Lin, are you okay?"

Xiao Lingling shouted a little frightened behind her.

"It's fine. Lin Xin replied. sensed his internal qi and secretly calculated. "And half of the internal qi. This trick really can't be used casually.,It's good to use it twice to kill the centaur in seconds.,But it's also very expensive.。 It seems that the innate qi has only increased, but the total amount of internal qi is still not enough. ”

He remained in the passage for a little longer, feeling that there was no movement, and then he returned to the cave and sat down.

The fire had already burned, and the warm heat suddenly drove away the chill in the nearby air.

Xiao Lingling was taking out some prepared metal utensils, pouring out water and jerky, and hanging them on the fire to bake and cook soup.

After a while, when the water in the pot boiled, the jerky began to be boiled tossed and turned.

Xiao Lingling took out another stack of white dry cakes and gave them to Lin Xin.

"Brother Lin, this is a special dry food cake, one can be worth a full meal. ”

Lin Xin took it and pinched it, feeling that the cake was very thick and a little hard, and it seemed to be pressed very tightly.

He pulled it down and put it in his mouth, which was similar to a dry and hard steamed bun, some sweet, some pantothenic.

Xiao Lingling served a bowl of broth by herself, then took out her own kind of dark chocolate beans and ate them with the cake.

"You can eat it with hot soup, and the effect will be slightly better. ”

Lin Xin also took out the chocolate beans. This is the Du Shi Dan in Xiao Lingling's mouth.

The two quickly settled their way to eat and drink, cleaned up the food and its scraps, and sat around the campfire to warm up and rest.

"Brother Lin, you say, will those people from the drug gang catch up from behind?" Xiao Lingling at this time no longer had the charm of the past, but as if she had taken off her mask, she sat by the fire with her legs crossed, ignoring her dirty clothes, and stared at the flames in a daze.

"I don't know," Lin Xin shook his head slightly. "I don't know if that square is the only one where we get in, and if there are other passages, then they don't necessarily come in. ”

"It's just the two of us" Xiao Lingling's voice lowered, "Actually, Brother Lin" She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she paused again.

Lin Xin waited for her to continue to speak, and waited for a while, but saw her staring at the fire blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What do you want to say?" he began to slowly breathe his internal qi, turning the food he ate into internal qi replenishment, and at the same time recovering his strength as soon as possible.

Xiao Lingling looked a little lonely.

"It's nothing," she reached out and grabbed a strand of her hair on her right side, gently wrapping it around her hand.

"I originally thought that I could make good use of others, and use those lustful men to steadily improve my cultivation step by step and protect my own safety. It was only when I entered the cave this time that I realized that I was really naïve," a wry smile flashed across her face.

Lin Xin didn't know how to answer, this woman seemed to treat him as a good person who could be trusted, and he didn't say much, so he simply listened silently.

Xiao Lingling seems to have been holding back for a long time, and finally has a chance to talk.

"Brother Lin, in fact, you don't know that before you saw me, I was chased and killed by another monster who could pretend to be someone else, and I met Senior Brother Guang and another one, a guy who was kind to me in every way on weekdays. ”

She said this, paused, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

"With my small-scale light skills and strong sensing ability, I have avoided the pursuit many times and begged Senior Brother Guang to save me. But he also seems to be frightened by the kind of monster that can disguise himself as someone else, for fear that I am also disguised. No matter what I say, they won't let me come near or save me. ”

"Isn't this normal?" Lin Xin interjected softly. "You don't have to worry too much, after all, they won't be able to tell if you're real or fake for a while. ”

"But Brother Lin, you can!" Xiao Lingling suddenly raised her head, staring at him with bright eyes, and looked straight into his eyes. "They have been circling around me all day long, and they still can't tell whether I'm real or fake, but Brother Lin, you can recognize me at a glance. ”

There was something in her words, and there seemed to be something deeper that was not spoken.

Lin Xin didn't want to continue, so he just lowered his head to avoid her gaze.

"You're thinking too much. ”

Xiao Lingling couldn't help lowering her head, but her cheeks seemed to be a little red from the fire.

The two were speechless for a while, Lin Xin silently breathed to recover his internal qi, and Xiao Lingling concentrated on helping him sense the safety around him.

There was silence in the passage, save for the faint sound of a fire burning.
