After Lu Xiu and the others decided to go into the grotto to explore, they prepared separately.

The grotto was pitch black, and there were no lighting tools to be found here. Therefore, Lu Xiu had to go around the neighborhood a few times and find a black dry wooden stick for pathfinding.

Holding it in his hand and testing its weight and feel, Lu Xiu nodded with satisfaction. Lu Xiu collected some rattan with the thickness of his fingers and tied them to his body in case of emergency. Carrying the fruit bag on his back, Lu Xiu looked around for a while, and felt that there was nothing to prepare, so he walked over to Fan Xiaoye, ready to see how he was doing.

"Hey, Lu Xiu, how did you tie that rattan, come and help me, I can't seem to get out." As soon as Lu Xiu came to Fan Xiaoye's side, he saw that he was learning to be like himself and wrapping some vines around his body. However, Fan Xiaoye tied it left and right, and after a while, he tied himself into a big zongzi.

"Hehe, you too. I'm just taking these rattans just for a rainy day, and I don't expect to use them, so don't bother around. Lu Xiu said as he helped the vines on Fan Xiaoye's body to untie them.

"Uh! Brother Xiu, who is not yet learning, forget it, then don't want this vine, if you want to use it, use yours!" Fan Xiaoye first complained with a bitter face, and then said with a big grin.

"Why are you Lu Xiu for a while, Brother Xiu for a while, when will I become your Brother Xiu?"

Lu Xiu said with some amusement.

"It's not because Brother Xiu you took such good care of me along the way, my dad said that he wanted to repay the favor. Isn't it?Brother Luo, hehe!" Fan Xiaoye heard Lu Xiu's words, immediately explained, and asked with a smile towards Luo Fu, who was walking over.

Lu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Luo Fu behind him.

"Hehe, Xiao Ye, Lu Xiu is joking with you, you call him the same thing. Luo Fu looked at Fan Xiaoye, first shook his head and smiled, and then explained.

"Got it!" Fan Xiaoye replied nonchalantly.

"Ready?"

Without continuing the topic, Lu Xiu asked Luo Fu.

"Well, almost, just wait for the others. Hearing Lu Xiu's question, Luo Fu also became serious and said seriously.

"Xiao Ye, I don't know what I'll meet inside after a while, you just stay by my side and Luo Fu, just follow closely. Lu Xiu said to Fan Xiaoye with some unease.

"I know! I know! I suddenly found that Brother Xiu, you talk a bit like my father, hehe!" Fan Xiaoye replied with a hippie smile, a pair of small eyes narrowed into a slit, obviously Lu Xiu's instructions still made him feel a little relieved.

"Hmm!"

Lu Xiu doesn't care whether Fan Xiaoye remembers it or not, just pay more attention to him later, and he can't be sorry for that "Brother Xiu", right?

"I don't know what's in the grotto?" Luo Fu sighed with some emotion.

Lu Xiu didn't reply, staring at the deep hole, also thinking a lot, guessing what they would encounter inside.

"We're ready. After a while, the others also packed up and came over. Luo Xi, who was walking in the front, said lightly to Lu Xiu and the others.

"Okay, let's go! Maybe there's a way for us to go back, maybe there's an explanation for all this, but whatever it is, it's up to us to uncover it ourselves. Luo Fu looked at some people who were still a little hesitant and said loudly.

Originally, there were still a few reluctant people, such as teacher Zhao Rou, nurse Meng Shuangshuang, Guan Qiang, etc., after listening to Luo Fu's words, they all showed a look of struggle, thought about it repeatedly, and finally stood firm. They all felt that this grotto appeared so strangely, even if there was no way to go back, at least they would find something.

Seeing that Zhao Rou and the others were firm, Luo Fu nodded and said loudly: "Let's go!"

With that, everyone began to walk in the direction of the grotto, looking at the outer wall of the grotto, which was as red as blood, and everyone showed varying degrees of apprehension and fear, as well as an indescribable sadness. There was only one person, and there was fear and uneasiness in his eyes, but there was no trace of sadness in the depths of his eyes, but a faint look of joy.

Crossing the rotten trees crisscrossing the ground, Lu Xiu and the others began to slowly approach the grotto. When he got closer, Lu Xiu found that the huge vines crawling on the stone wall were actually dark red, and from a distance, they could easily be seen as black.

Lu Xiu felt that these vines should have the same origin as the grottoes, not grow later.

"Perhaps that's why these vines aren't affected by the grotto. Stopped, looking at the huge dark red vines, and then at the twisted and dead trees around him, Lu Xiu guessed.

"Brother Xiu, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Lu Xiu stopped, Fan Xiaoye asked suspiciously.

"Nothing. Let's go!" Lu Xiu shook his head and didn't explain.

"Oh!" Fan Xiaoye didn't feel it, and continued to move forward in response.

But just after taking two steps, Lu Xiu suddenly felt something under his feet, stopped again, moved his right foot, and found a finger-sized thing with a black body embedded in the dirt and rotten wood. Lu Xiu picked it up from the dirt with some doubts, and under careful observation, the two ends of this thing were wide in the middle, and there was a small hole the size of a soybean in the middle, and the surface was depicted with dense fine lines. In the hand, there is a metallic texture, but there is no coldness of metal, but there is a trace of warmth.

"Brother Xiu, what is this?"

Fan Xiaoye also saw the things in Lu Xiu's hand and asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, forget it, let's go!"

I don't know what this thing is, Lu Xiu casually put it in his pocket and beckoned Fan Xiaoye to leave quickly.

"Hmm!" Fan Xiaoye responded, and quickly stepped forward to follow.

After a while, Lu Xiu and the others finally came to the grotto. Lu Xiu only felt an overwhelming sadness that was about to drown him, and Zhao Rou and the others couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice.

"Let's go, let's get in!"

No longer hesitating, Lu Xiu shouted. After saying that, Lu Xiu withstood the monstrous sadness and pulled Fan Xiaoye into the grotto at once. The moment he came in, Lu Xiu found that there was no sadness in the cave, and Lu Xiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If this place was the same as the outside, they wouldn't have to come in and investigate anything, and the sorrow alone would have tormented them. Immediately after, Luo Fu also walked in. Then there were Luo Qian, Hao Dong and others, and when Meng Shuangshuang and Zhao Rou's two daughters also came in, Lu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. The kind of sadness just now was really terrifying, touching the corners of his eyes, Lu Xiu found that he had shed tears at some point. Look at everyone again, they are all full of tears, and they look like they are broken.

Shaking his head, Lu Xian was about to turn around and observe the situation inside the grotto, when suddenly a person swept over the corner of his eyes, and saw that the person was also bowing his head with a sad face, but if he looked closely, the person didn't even shed a tear.

Just after a hurried glance, Lu Xiu turned around and didn't stay on that person for too long. However, that scene has been remembered by him.

"Have you finally revealed your feet?" Lu Xiu sneered in his heart, and immediately stopped thinking about it, now is not the time for a showdown.

After calming down, Lu Xiu carefully looked at the inside of the grotto. There is actually a light that is not weak in the eyes, and the scene inside the grotto can be seen at a glance. Raising his head, he took a closer look at the source of the light, which was actually some fluorescent stones embedded in the stone wall.

"It's amazing! Now you don't have to worry about the light in the cave. ”

Lu Xiu said with emotion. It can be said that what he was most worried about before was the light problem in the cave, and now everything is solved.

"I didn't expect it to go so well, it seems that the person who built this cave should also hope that someone will be able to come in. As for the sadness, it should have happened later. Luo Fu also saw the scene in the cave and guessed.

"Well, it's very likely. That's fine, maybe we'll be able to get something out of it. ”

Lu Xiu agreed.

"Hmm!" Luo Fu nodded.

"Lu Xiu, Luo Fu. Look at these stones, they glow, I don't know what kind of stone they are. Fan Xiaoye's voice came from the side, and he saw that he was constantly breaking a glowing stone with his hand, with an excited face, as if he wanted to get the stone down.

"Xiaoye, don't touch these things. ”

Seeing this, Lu Xiu immediately stepped forward to stop Fan Xiaoye and pulled him over. Seeing Fan Xiaoye's stunned appearance, Lu Xiu had no choice but to explain to him: "We don't know about this place yet, so be careful in everything." ”

"Oh, don't worry, Brother Xiu, I won't move anymore. Fan Xiaoye immediately patted his chest and said.

"Xiao Ye! Lu Xiu is right, be careful. Luo Fu also said on the side, and then turned to the crowd: "Everyone should also be careful, no one knows what will happen, don't mess with what you see." ”

"Yes. Hao Dong immediately responded.

Qian Hao on the side looked disappointed, originally he also wanted to get a few of these glowing stones to see, but now he had to stop doing it.

On the other side, although Luo Xi and the others did not speak, they all nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let's head to the inside of the grotto! Let's gather a little and follow closely. ”

Luofu organized again. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Rou, Meng Shuangshuang, Guan Qiang and others all subconsciously leaned towards the team, in this case, gathering together will make people feel more secure.

"Let's go!"

Lu Xiu, who was walking in front, took the lead and walked inside.

"Da-da-da! da-da!"

There was silence in the grotto, and the footsteps of the crowd echoed messily inside.

As the deepening progresses, the distance between the two walls of the grotto begins to increase, at first everyone still needs to march back and forth in turn, but now they can walk side by side, a piece of glowing stone densely embedded in the inner wall of the grotto, illuminating the grotto in a piece of light, as if day.

After walking nearly two or three hundred meters deep, Lu Xiu didn't see a trace of the existence of creatures, nor did he have anything other, which made people suspect that this long grotto was just an empty corridor, and there was nothing.

Letting go of the doubts in his heart, Lu Xiu continued to walk forward for a few hundred meters. At this time, the grotto began to twist and turn, and everyone kept bending around it. The silence of the empty grotto was terrible, and everyone did not dare to speak freely.

It was another big bend, as if the torrent was slamming against the stone wall and being beaten back. As if sensing something, everyone slowed down.

Lu Xiu pretended to look behind him casually, the person he saw earlier was looking around casually like everyone else at this time, but the excitement that flashed in his eyes betrayed it.

Turning the corner, a wider space appeared. Lu Xiu stood in place and looked at the space. It's about the length of several football fields, but it's about half as wide. The top of the space was inlaid with countless glowing stones like before, like a starry sky.

"Be careful, everyone, let's go in and have a look!"

After saying that, Lu Xiu took the lead and walked in, followed by Luo Fu and Fan Xiaoye. Not far behind, the others can't wait to walk towards this space, maybe there is an explanation for all this!

"Lu Xiu, look at the paintings on this stone wall!"

After walking a little forward, Luofu saw that there were many murals on the stone wall, and the characters and flowers, birds and animals in the murals were lifelike.

"Huh?"

Lu Xiu cast his gaze over, but he let out a surprise when he saw it. I saw that the figures in the mural were all dressed in brocade clothes, standing in the air, or holding swords, or sticks and other weapons. In front of each figure is more or less a picture of some huge creatures with strange shapes. Some have sheep-faced human bodies, tiger teeth and human claws, some have eyes under the armpits, and their heads are chamfered, and some look like lions and tigers, with wings on their backs.

Lu Xiu looked at it as he walked, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, these terrifying beasts were either baring their teeth or roaring, and they were extremely hideous, but they looked at the people in brocade clothes in front of them with a vigilant face. Walking forward for about fifty meters, Lu Xiu saw all kinds of unknown monsters, and also saw humans standing in front of the monsters. After a few more steps, a mural appeared in front of me, but this one was much larger and more magnificent. In the picture, the sky is dim, the earth is devastated, and a monster of unknown size lies in the middle of the heavens and the earth, with nine monster snakes and hideous faces. Lu Xiu stared at the mural, only to feel that the picture seemed to come to life, the monster writhed its huge body in pain, and actually shattered the earth. Looking closely, the monster was actually missing a head, leaving only a long neck writhing emptyly, and large swaths of black blood were sprinkled at the fracture, and the blood dripped down, and the shattered earth immediately turned into patches of dark green swamps.

The monster is not far away, the bronze giant tripod of the shape of the nine bottles is suspended in the air, the tripod body is engraved with countless mountains and rivers, the strange beasts are rare, and a bottle of tripod seems to contain a piece of heaven and earth. On top of Jiuding, a middle-aged man in a coarse linen robe put his hands behind his back, his feet stepped on the void, and a pair of deep black eyes looked at the monster indifferently. Between the nine tripods, a huge head covered with black scales was suspended silently, silently.

"Soyanagi!" "Soyanagi!"

Luo Fu and Fan Xiaoye in the back saw the mural and exclaimed at the same time.
