Chapter 3 "Death" Chapter 109 Recuperate and recharge your strength in the clear dew Comfortable but forget the people in the forest
Tired of traveling day and night, it was not easy to find the news of Mu Lingzhu, but they encountered extraneous branches, and Yuya and Yu Siya were always in a tense state. Although the conditions here are difficult, it is finally a place to stay, which makes the two of them sleep extra sweetly this night. Especially the drizzle outside, like a hypnotic music, is intoxicating, and like a pair of slender hands, gently rubbing in their ears.
Because of the rain, the sky was still a little gloomy, and I don't know how long it took for the two of them to get up lazily, simply take a few handfuls of rainwater and tidy up, and then they were refreshed. Yuya pushed open the wooden window, and was greeted by a slight coolness with the fragrance of earth, she wrapped her clothes and closed the wooden window again.
Although there was a lot of firewood in the wooden house, most of it was damp, but there were still some scattered branches on the ground, which allowed them to make a fire to add some warmth. The two of them sat by the fire with their knees crossed, rubbing their hands very comfortably, not knowing what they were thinking.
"I don't know how long it will rain... I just hope we don't miss our trip..."Yuya stared at the campfire with her chin pinched. Yu Siya yawned when she heard this, and the sleepiness came back to her heart under the warmth, and she said in a daze: "Yes... I don't know what this old liar knows... I hope we don't hurt us in vain..."
"Mu Lao'er!" "Old liar!" the two said that their spirits suddenly jumped up, no wonder they always felt that something was wrong, it turned out that they had forgotten about the Mu Fengchun, but now the rain is weakening, the two opened the wooden door and rushed out...
"Sister Yuya, the old liar is not here!What did you find over there?" Coming out of the wooden house, the two almost turned the position where Mu Fengchun was last night, but they didn't find half a figure after going around a few times, and Yu Siya could only follow the direction of Youya. Yuya shook her head, wiped the rain from her face, and said, "Mu Lao'er is not a fool, he won't rain outside all night, maybe he is looking for a place to hide from the rain, you see... There's a cave in front of us, let's go and have a look..."
It wasn't long before the two of them came to the cave, and they were about to cry inside, but they choked on the foul smell coming from the cave and coughed. "Sister Yuya, this old liar won't be able to stay like this, right?" Yuya frowned again and again when she heard this, and she was a little unsure in her heart, she covered her mouth and nose and looked inside, but saw that it was dark in the cave, and it was really difficult to judge, but there was nothing to provide light at the moment, and she was also a little impatient.
"Forget it... Just in case, I'd better go down and take a look first, Sister Yuya, it's not too late for you to get a torch and come back to support. "After all, Yu Si Aya's body is a snake, and she is used to being in the dark, she naturally has a unique way of perceiving the situation in the dark, and the reason why she was frightened by the clothes last night was also because she didn't feel the existence of living creatures in advance. There are many detours in the depths of this cave, and it is easy to get lost in it if you can't see the route clearly, which is really not good for Yuya to be so dangerous.
"That's... Aaya, be careful, I'll be back soon!" Seeing Yu Siya covering her mouth and nose and groping her way into the cave, she disappeared around the corner not long after, Yuya no longer hesitated, turned around and ran back to the wooden house.
When she fetched the torches and hats, and the sky was just clear, Yuya hid her mouth and nose and stepped into the cave. Although the entrance of this cave is not small, the space inside is not large, and the remains of various animals are also covered around. There is also a humanoid skeleton in this mixed animal remains that is very eye-catching, Yuya carefully examined it, and found that the surface of this skeleton is still covered with a layer of blackened flesh and skin, and this person's clothes before his life are stained with blackened blood There are no signs of decay, obviously he has not been dead for a long time, and the way of death is very strange, as if he has been hollowed out by something.
This man had an axe in his hand, similar to the workmanship he had seen in the wooden house, and he must have been the owner of the wooden house during his lifetime. After all, they could be regarded as borrowing for one night, but Yuya could not reciprocate, so she could only untie the hat on her body and cover it on top of the corpse, which could be regarded as avoiding exposing this person to the corpse hole.
Yuya continued to move inside, and found a hidden hole in an inconspicuous place at the end of the cave, although the hole was very rough, it was just enough for a person to enter, and there was an arrow carved in front of the cave, and the soil on the side of the arrow was still very fresh, it seemed that Yu Siya had left it behind, Yuya put the torch in front of him, and slowly followed in.
Yuya was surprised at first, for though there were so many bones in the cave, they had long since decayed, and it really shouldn't have been so foul, until she entered the hidden cave and realized that the stench came from the depths of the road. It's just that this road is staggered and complicated, and it keeps extending downward, as if stepping into a bottomless pit, if it weren't for the mark left by Yu Siya, I'm afraid Youya would have been lost in it.
Just as she was about to walk out of the last road, she suddenly felt some light in front of her, she looked over, but saw countless lights like phosphorus fire floating on the empty ground in front of her, emitting a light blue light, illuminating the whole space extremely gloomy.
Just as she was about to walk out of the cave to take a look, she suddenly heard a buzzing sound, and saw those phosphorus fires that had been floating aimlessly swarming in the direction of Yuya. While retreating, Yuya swept forward with a torch, intending to force back these phosphorus fires, but instead of retreating, these phosphorus fires gathered more and more, shining in front of Yuya, which was very dazzling.
As the phosphorus fire approached, Yuya finally saw its true face, her face changed suddenly, and she exclaimed: "Fireflies!
Although this firefly may not be the size of an ordinary insect, it is a formidable character. Although it is said to be a fire-eater, it does not feed on fire, but likes to eat calories. Normally, in order to ensure physical strength, this firefly will fall into a dormant state, harmless to humans and animals, emitting a faint shimmer. But as soon as heat comes close, they will show their fangs, sucking up the heat from their prey, and depleting their life.
But the living environment of this firefly is very special, and it cannot be exposed to the sun, so although it is terrifying, she is not too worried about it, but Yuya never thought that she would encounter this kind of thing one day, and then remembered the remains of the woodcutter in the cave above her head, and the posture of escaping from the cave, she suddenly figured out something, and her face was also difficult to see. However, there was no way back behind her, so she could only grit her teeth and fight desperately, throwing the torch in her hand towards the hole.
These fireflies have lived underground for a long time, the visual nature has long been degraded, and they can only feel the changes in the outside world through their tentacles, and at this time they feel the "good meal" suddenly fly away, and they buzz to follow, only to see that the light of the tail of these fire-eating fireflies is a little brighter after absorbing enough heat, and after a few circles of satisfaction, they will lie on the top of the cave, quiet, and the torch has completed its mission, exhausted into a wisp of white smoke.
This anomaly only happened in a short moment, but Yuya was covered in cold sweat and didn't dare to breathe, and quietly moved from under a few fireflies above his head, but these fireflies didn't react, they really slept when they were full, and the fireflies were comfortable, and Yuya also took the opportunity to bypass the insect swarm and go around to the other side. Although there were no torches, these fireflies also played a role in guiding the way, Yuya boldly tried a few times, and saw that these fireflies really did not react, so he completely relieved his mind and carefully looked for the mark left by Yu Siya.
Yuya didn't know how Yu Siya had avoided these fireflies, and she was very worried, but fortunately, there were no traces of a fight here, presumably she must be safe and sound, but the mark left behind was no trace at the fork in the road in front of her!
The ends of the two roads in front of her are hazy, Yuya really doesn't know how to choose, but she is afraid that she will choose the wrong path and get separated from Yu Siya, so she can only be secretly anxious, she tried to use the green mist to explore the surrounding environment, but found that the environment she was in was nothing but stones or dirt, or those fireflies that lived on it, and the underground space had a great impact on the green mist, and the green mist could no longer move forward after a few feet away, so she could only take it back.
Just as she decided to try her luck on a random path, she suddenly heard a sound that echoed in the empty passage, and she clenched the green snake staff and slowly sneaked towards the sound against the wall. As she went deeper, the fireflies gradually decreased, and finally she fell into a darkness, and when she groped in front of her eyes, she felt that the cold under her palm was incomparably cold, and it was already at the end.
Did you hear it wrong? Yuya turned her ears again, but she didn't hear that strange thing again, so she could only kick a few feet at the end of the front in frustration, and was about to turn around and go back to another way to try again, but just after a few kicks, that kind of sound suddenly sounded in her ears, and it was a little familiar!
You Ya was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped back a few steps, taking a closer look through the faint light on the green snake staff, but did not find any figures, and her heart was also very strange. She followed the sound again, and found that the stone wall here was actually very flat and smooth, but this stone wall was very heavy, no matter how many times she pushed and pulled back and forth, but it did not move, just when she was about to forcibly break the stone wall, but she felt that there seemed to be something above her head, she reached out and found that it was actually a hidden stone ring!
There is a saying: there is no place to find when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, but I didn't expect the mechanism to open the stone wall to be in such an obvious place, but it is just because the hole is dark and not easy to be noticed!
Sure enough, under Yuya's pull, the stone wall in front of him finally fell, and the light and stench poured in together...
