The mountain breeze is cool, blowing through the forest full of shadows. The branches swayed, and the green leaves fell, fluttering like feathers, and gently touched the forest ground.

Xiao Shizhu squinted slightly, staring at the vines hanging at the entrance of the cave in front of him, his fingers trembling slightly. He was a little impatient and eager to go inside and find out.

At the same time, the national teacher Ying Ying also slowly shook her head and said affirmatively: "It's really right, the depths of the cave are filled with the demon god's mysterious ghost energy full of anger and anger. And there is not the slightest breath of life in this cave, most of which is because of this ghostly aura. ”。

Yingying's perception is indeed different from ordinary people, and it should not be wrong. Xiao Shizhu asked more than one move, but he just felt that the appearance of the traces of the demon god here was very abrupt, but it also aroused his curiosity and interest.

Before she could speak, Xiao Shizhu raised her hand again and stretched out again, pushing away the dense vines.

The hole that looked like a giant beast's open mouth of blood basin was revealed to the ghosts little by little with his movements. Within a few feet behind the entrance of the cave, smooth stone walls and gradual upward slopes are also revealed.

If you go deeper, it's so dark that you can't see anything clearly.

But this cave is really abnormal. Other caves are gradually getting lower, but looking at the path in this cave, it seems to be gradually getting higher.

"Lord, with all due respect, we don't have enough time to stay in this yellow spring, and now it's time to race against time, and it is best to meet Ke Yun as soon as possible. Hovering around their heads, Qin Yuan, who squatted on Xiao Shizhu's shoulder after falling, watched the dark cave vigilantly, and before Xiao Shizhu took a step, Zhang Beak persuaded with good words: "And what will be inside is not yet known, we don't have to take risks." ”。

"What else can there be, it's just a group of dead things, haven't you heard the national teacher say that there is no breath of life?" Xiao Shizhu obviously didn't care about the danger, and he didn't think so, and said lightly to Qin Yuan: "A voice in my body told me that I should find a bed to sleep on now." And it's so secretive, it's a place to hide. Let's go first to explore the way, and after eliminating the danger, we will take Ke Yun over. ”。

"General Ke is leading an army of 100,000, and I am afraid that this small cave will not be able to accommodate it. On the other side, Tae-bong, who had reached through the vines, said as he stroked the smooth cave wall.

The walls of the caves were as smooth as mirrors, with traces of being washed and smoothed by the current, and the stone walls were slippery and cold, and it was clear that there was water in the cave before. It's just that time has passed, and the water that once flowed from it is now an underground river, and the water source is hidden in the rocks.

The damp and cold sensation seeped down Tae-feng's palm and flowed all over his body, making him shiver.

Xiao Shizhu laughed again: "Could the place where the palace be built may be small?"

After being reminded by him, Taifeng also suddenly realized. Recently, they have been walking through enemy-occupied areas, and their nerves are tense, and it is inevitable that they will be a little confused.

Fortunately, Xiao Shizhu still maintains a calm and clear mind, as well as reason.

"Unless these two imps lie to us. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu turned his head to look at the still enthusiastic Nulu and Shi Cassia and said.

"I'm also in favor of going in and having a look. Immediately afterwards, the national teacher Yingying said this, and injected the ghost qi into the spirit snake staff held tightly in her hand, and the body of the long staff that was as green as jade, smooth and round, immediately bloomed with a soft green light, illuminating the place around her.

Qin Yuan slowly turned his head over, and his stunned gaze fell on Ying Ying's calm white cheeks.

Since entering Huangquan, it has often been her calmness and sanity that has prevented Xiao Shizhu's crazy or emotional radical actions and plans. So that Xiao Shizhu and the ghosts can always steadily turn danger into relief, and survive again and again in this strange world.

For some reason, this time the national teacher Yingying is no longer calm and rational.

Qin Yuan knew that what he was worried about and feared, the national teacher Ying Ying must have thought of it. It is precisely in this way that the consternation in his eyes will increase over time. He couldn't understand what the national teacher Yingying thought before he decided to exit this time?

"Let's go. Xiao Shizhu didn't care about Qin Yuan, he directly took out the fire fold he was carrying, and was the first to open the vines hanging at the entrance of the cave and walked in, his face was full of excitement and excitement, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Qin Yuan didn't even react, and he was already in the cave. In front of me was the light of a bean fire lit up in the pitch black, illuminating the smooth cave walls around it with a somewhat reflective view.

Na Chin froze in his mind, and the look of vigilance and worry in his eyes flashed again, even more than before.

Qin Yuan is not a cowardly ghost, he has been in the battle of life and death dozens of times on the battlefield, so he will not be timid and afraid. I'm just worried about Xiao Shizhu's danger because of this seemingly extraneous move.

Before leaving, he promised the ghost mother to protect Xiao Shizhu well. If this Xiao Shizhu has any three longs and two shorts because of this, it will be difficult to explain it after returning to the underworld.

And now, Qin Yuan also knew that he couldn't persuade Xiao Shizhu, so he had to cheer up his spirits, looked around vigilantly, and his nerves tensed again, not daring to relax in the slightest.

The national teacher Yingying and they also followed, Yingying and Taifeng were behind the palace, while Nulu and Shi Cassia walked forward quickly, bypassing Xiao Shizhu and walking in front of him. One is to lead the way for the ghosts, and the other is to explore a way for Xiao Shizhu.

In case there is really any danger, they are also the meat shield in front of Xiao Shizhu.

I saw that on the open palm of the female lu, a cluster of flames appeared out of thin air, jumping and swaying gently in her palm, illuminating the path of the ghosts.

Slowly upward, the winding road became clear in the firelight, and in the deep cave, the sound of brisk footsteps continued to echo. The smooth stone walls around are constantly flickering with dazzling reflections.

By the light of the fire, I can see that these stone walls are naturally formed, and there is no trace of artificial carving and polishing. I don't know how many years have passed before it has become as smooth as it is now, without even a little bump.

And Xiao Shizhu and his group of ghosts threw themselves into the darkness without hesitation, and with the light of the broken darkness, they gradually moved away from the deeper part of the cave......

Yin Cao Difu, Nine Secluded Kingdom Yuque Palace.

It was late at night, but the front hall of Tianyang Palace was also brightly lit after nightfall.

The military advisers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who stayed in the city gathered together at this time, and they all sat around the round table in the middle of the main hall. In addition to Lu Wu Chunyun and other veterans of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, there are also ghost officials and ghost generals who came from Jiang Ziwen's Beiyin Dynasty to surrender to Cheng, as well as Wu Xiaoshen and a young official general.

Of course, the ghost mother who finally got the idea, and Xiao Fuling, the owner of the Weng.

They were all temporarily summoned to the palace, and some even yawned when the ghosts came. The reason why they were taken out of the warm bed was because the message from the co-workers had arrived.

The results of the interrogation of the water ape and the calculations and speculations of the co-workers shocked the ghost mother. If all this is true, then there is a high probability that Shuoyue Island will be lost.

She had to gather her military advisers overnight to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as these military advisers arrived at the palace, they immediately exploded when they heard the antecedents, and they began to argue, and the noise filled the whole hall, replacing the silence of the night.

Although most of these military advisors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom did not know that Xiao Shizhu followed the passage under Shuoyue Island and entered the Yellow Spring.

But in their hearts, Shuoyue Island is the holy land of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the place where they started, and it has a sacred meaning. They have always regarded Shuoyue Island as the holy land of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Once Shuoyue Island is lost, the mental blow to them will inevitably be not small.

So there was a lot of noise and arguments, also in order to find a better way, so as to reverse the defeat and prevent the materials from being transported to Gong Mingyi's hands.

And when they kept arguing, the ghost mother and Xiao Fuling were indeed silent. just silently looked at those ministers, kept talking and talking.

Although the ghost mother was anxious, she still wanted to listen to his ghost's opinion first, so that she would not be arbitrary. The more anxious she is, the more she should seek stability as a decision-maker.

Frizziness will only make the situation more and more unfavorable.

And Xiao Fuling is also pondering, looking forward to the time when she can show her skills and not disappoint her mother.

"It's definitely too late to let the Gonggong Navy Division turn around and fight not a suspicious soldier, but a real enemy fleet. And the sea is so big, it's not a way. After the ghosts argued loudly for a long time, Lu Wu, who had hidden worry in his eyes, raised his voice and said loudly: "Everyone, it is better to let the Gonggong Sailor return to Shuoyue Island." If this is true, it is not too late to make amends. ”。

His voice was very loud, like a loud roar, the sound was like thunder and deafening, and the words fell to the ground for a moment, and the aftermath was still echoing around the beam. The surrounding arguments and debates came to an abrupt end. The eyes of the ghosts also fell on Lu Wu's face.

"Uncle Lu Wu, this may not be a good idea. Regardless of the co-worker's speculation, whether or not the words of the prisoner of war and the Aqua Ape were true or not, even if what they said was true, this plan may not guarantee the victory of the war on Satsuki Island. At the same time, Xiao Fuling, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but speak, and said thoughtfully: "I have thought of a way, you elders might as well listen to my advice first?"

Asking this, Xiao Fuling looked around at the ghosts, and her eyes fell on the face of the ghost mother who was slightly jawed and agreed to her proposal.

Since the ghost mother agreed, the other ghosts naturally didn't dare to have any opinions, and even Lu Wu, who was in a high position in the middle of the court, nodded in agreement and asked Xiao Fuling, a little ghost, to talk about his suggestion first.

Above the front hall, it was very quiet for a while. The surrounding ghosts seemed to be frozen, and dozens of pairs of eyes brushed together and fell on Xiao Fuling's face.

"Our army can actually use the method of closing the door and beating the dog to greet the fleet of the Northern Yin Dynasty. Facing the gaze of the ghosts, Xiao Fuling said her thoughts and suggestions without hurrying: "Since you can't stop it, then put this huge enemy naval division into the sea stone forest around Shuoyue Island." Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of my father's painstaking efforts to spend more than ten years in that stone pillar and stone peak, and the heavy weight of the mechanisms he set up?"

At this point, Xiao Lingling looked around at the ghosts and stopped talking.

When she saw the ghosts around her, her face first flashed with a look of shock, and her eyes gradually widened. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lingling saw some of the ghosts, and after a little muttering, she cast an approving look at her again.

Xiao Fuling is right, the geographical advantage of Shuoyue Island lies in this stone forest on the sea. And Xiao Shizhu put a lot of effort into creating a lot of special mechanisms to deal with warships in this rocky peak forest, and now it would be a waste to use these mechanisms.
