Chapter Twenty-Three: The Miracle Cave
I don't know how long it took, Chen Xiaoyu, who was extremely bored, relied on the lighting of his mobile phone and drew a sketch of Duan Li'er on the ground with a wooden branch.
During his four years of college career, the eldest boy in the Chinese department also had a good job of painting, and the sketches made of only branches and dust on the ground were vivid. Although Duan Li'er couldn't understand it, she was shocked.
"Senior Brother Xiaoyu, is this what I painted?"
"Huh? I...... What did I draw? ”
Hearing Duan Li'er's voice in his ears, with a soft gasp, Chen Xiaoyu instinctively pushed off the sketch on the ground, stood up and held his head, threw away the wooden branch in his hand, and said, "Senior sister...... When did you wake up? ”
Duan Li'er hugged her arms in front of her chest, complained about Chen Xiaoyu's behavior of destroying the portrait, rolled her eyes and said: "I've been awake for a while, I see that you are scribbling, of course I don't dare to call you, no, I will ruin such a good painting by asking you." ”
After saying that, the little girl stood up and looked around, only to see the glowing bricks hanging on the stone wall and the passage running through the front and back, so she asked, "What is that glowing brick, and how is it different from the lighting secret artifact that Senior Brother Xiaoyu used before?" ”
One is a flashlight and the other is a mobile phone. How can that be the same?
Chen Xiaoyu pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly and explained: "One is the primary lighting secret method, the other is the intermediate lighting secret method, and the advanced lighting secret method, I will show it to you next time." ”
But nonsense is nonsense, Chen Xiaoyu picked up the mobile phone and found that the battery level of the mobile phone with the lights on for a long time was still 100%, which was very strange.
Just as he wanted to send a message to ask Chen Zhouzhou what was going on, Duan Li'er had already taken a few steps in one direction, turned around and shouted, "Senior Brother Xiaoyu, let's go here." ”
The girl's hand was holding the Sinan plate, the aura fluctuations were faintly visible at the fingertips, and the ten-ladle needle rotated rapidly on the Sinan plate, and finally stopped, and the pointer pointed to the entrance of the cave.
"What is this?" Chen Xiaoyu looked confused, he couldn't imagine that the compass could still guide the way like this.
Walking straight along the deep cave passage, I didn't find anything unusual by the light of my mobile phone along the way. Chen Xiaoyu also figured out that the Sinan Pan in Duan Li'er's hand was not a compass in the popular sense, but a kind of secret artifact, similar to the people of this era After getting lost, they rely on the aura to urge this thing, and this thing can provide a direction for the lost person to get out of a desperate situation. It is only possible to predict the embankment if there is any danger on the way to the direction position.
Sure enough, looking at the time on the mobile phone screen, after walking for about thirty minutes, the entrance of the cave in front of me was like a ray of light in the darkness, visible and visible.
Duan Li'er put away Si Nan, slowed down, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu, be careful, although there is an exit in front, but Li'er feels that there are many mortal realm breaths around here. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoyu, who was originally excited, suddenly became vigilant, took out the long sword in the spatial ring, and firmly grasped the hilt of the sword and followed behind Duan Li'er.
A burst of aroma mixed with the freshness of the grass and earth came to her face, and Duan Li'er, who had walked to the entrance of the cave, suddenly stopped, looking at the scene in front of her with an incredulous expression.
In the distance, there are mountains with heavy rocks, and in the near distance, there are green and neat meadows. The stream is murmuring, and the trees are different. The wide-eared white foxes all over the place looked at the entrance of the cave in unison, staring at the round grunts.
Chen Xiaoyu, who was following behind him cautiously, saw Duan Lian'er stop, thinking that he had seen some monster, and hurriedly held his sword and rushed forward and yelled Senior sister beware!
The delicate and cute broad-eared white foxes were frightened and fled without a trace.
"Stupid, you!"
Duan Li'er, who was also shocked, grabbed the corner of Chen Xiaoyu's clothes and laughed out loud. It suddenly occurred to me that the mortal realm aura she felt just now was this group of cute little guys!
"I guess it's coming out." Duan Li'er breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Yes, not yet."
Looking at the task prompt on the mobile phone screen or "in progress", Chen Xiaoyu muttered and replied.
The completed quest should be followed by a golden icon marked "Completed", just like the first quest that allowed him to find and enter the valley ruins, with three words shining golden on the back.
He withdrew his sword into the spatial ring, pointed to this paradise comparable to Tao Yuanming's writing, and said, "Senior Sister Duan, if it's okay, this should be the inside of the temple ruins." ”
These words came out of Chen Xiaoyu's mouth, and they were a little shocking.
According to ancient records, almost all the ancient ruins left after the collapse of the world 100,000 years ago were buried, and after about 80,000 or 90,000 years, the inexplicable world reappeared human beings, with the aura of the gods and gods, and constructed the current Kyushu continent. And those ancient ruins also appeared one after another in all corners of the Kyushu continent, and later there were a group of masters who reached the peak realm tried to explore the mystery of the ancient ruins, and countless people died, and they used their only remaining soul consciousness to tell the human beings living in the world that there are no caves in the ruins, just alive, don't explore, don't go......
Duan Li'er closed the "Runic Book Scroll", frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "According to what the scroll says, our current position should be the other cave in the ruins?" ”
"Yes......"
Chen Xiaoyu just wanted to answer like this, but suddenly both of them heard a voice at the same time.
"A cry for help?"
"Help!"
In the blink of an eye, Duan Li'er's body turned around, running in the direction where the cry for help came.
Chen Xiaoyu got up and patted his buttocks, and followed.
A girl in a pale yellow dress hurriedly ran towards the south, from the speed of the naked eye, it was a cultivation with the initial realm of mortals, but she was followed by a sawtooth tiger, grinning fangs, as if she was deliberately slipping this girl, because it could be seen from the pace that this sawtooth tiger could catch up with the girl at any time as long as she raised her speed a little.
"Evil beast!"
The space ring was imprisoned and contacted, and Duan Li'er selected a brand-new long sword from it and stabbed towards the little girl.
The girl who fled in a panic saw the person coming with a sword of cultivation that was at least one realm higher than her, and she fell directly to the ground in fright.
Yes! With a terrible roar!
The sawtooth tiger at the beginning of the entry realm fell to the ground in response.
Duan Li'er frowned, and used the blade of her sword to pick up the rune on the neck of the sawtooth tiger, there was a remnant of aura on this rune, it seemed that this sawtooth tiger was controlled by someone with runes, so she slipped away to the girl, thinking that after she was exhausted, she would kill the girl when she was extremely desperate.
It's vicious! Duan Li'er gathered her aura and burned the runes into ashes with a fire in her palm.
