Chapter 50: After several battles
After Zhang Qixun finished speaking, Huo Xiaoli and a few people reacted, and they all ran to Yumai, flashlighted, and put their eyes on it to look in.
"It's still early." Zhang Qixun turned the fire a little hotter, and then gave orders to Huo Xiaoli, "Go, find some rotten tree roots and make this fire a little stronger."
Huo Xiaoli ran over a few times, cut off the dry tree whiskers that had taken root in the cave, hugged them to the gap in the jade veins, and lit the fire.
Zhang Qixun watched with a smile as he lit the fire and accelerated their "chronic suicide".
Huo Zhixing looked at it, and felt that his smile was ill-intentioned.
At about the same time, Zhang Qixun stood up and stretched.
The little brother who was leaning against the stone wall with a knife and closed his eyes also opened his eyes.
Huo Zhixing has been paying close attention to Zhang Qixun's actions, and when he saw this, he immediately beckoned Huo Xiaoli to put out the fire.
The little brother stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and felt it on a few jade veins, then turned around and nodded to Zhang Qixun, "It's okay."
Zhang Ji found an OK, and then said to Huo Zhixing: "Hurry up and change into protective clothing, there will be a tough battle to fight next."
The protective clothing was all in the waterproof backpack they carried with them, and after quickly changing into them, Huo Zhixing and the others took out the alkali powder sprayer, stood on the side, and waited for Zhang Qixun to give an order.
Zhang Qixun put his hand on the jade vein, closed his eyes and felt it, and then pointed to one of them: "Let's start here, one by one."
Huo Zhixing didn't say much, and after Zhang Qixun got out of the way, he immediately aimed at the dark green jade vein and sprayed the alkali powder in the cylinder.
The white powder swarmed up, and the jade veins were quickly melted into a large opening, and the roar of Milota hidden in it was getting closer and closer.
When Milota first came out, he was not so agile in his movements.
Coupled with the blessing of alkali powder, it is not a problem to deal with two or three in an instant.
Soon came to the next cave, Huo Zhixing's alkali powder was not enough, so he let Huo Xiaoli open the way.
Next, the same is done.
As the team got deeper and deeper, there were more and more Milota that Zhang Qixun could feel around.
From three or two kittens at the beginning, it gradually became five or six, and even in the later stage, more than a dozen Milota directly swarmed up, wrapping up the front and back, left and right.
Huo Zhixing and the others couldn't cope with it soon, and Zhang Qixun and the little brother could only help kill Milota with a knife on the side.
After a while, the number of Milota finally decreased.
There is a high probability that Milota in the vicinity has been dealt with by them.
The exhausted crowd cleared a space to rest.
Huo Zhixing took a sip of water, gasped and asked, "Master Yu, are we almost there?"
Zhang Qixun shook his head, "It's really that easy, it's not called Zhangjia Gulou."
Huo Xiaoli was puzzled, "But the number of appearances of Milota before has decreased significantly."
Zhang Qixun snorted, "The little fart still doesn't believe it, let me tell you, the closer you get to the Zhangjia Ancient Building, the more Milota will be, and the higher the agility will be, just like killing monsters when you play the game, the more difficult the monsters will be upgraded in the future, but you see that we have been trapped here for two days, and the Milota we encountered is not exactly the same, but it is not difficult to deal with."
Huo Xiaoli scratched his head and thought for a moment, "You mean, what kind of big move are these Milota holding back?"
Zhang Qixun handed him a hopeless look, and then said to Huo Zhixing: "How is this kid as stupid as a pig, the old lady's vision of choosing people is getting worse and worse."
Huo Xiaoli was a little angry, "Hey, why are you still scolding, it's okay to say I'm stupid, but you can't slander our family master!"
"Didn't you also pick it out from the eyes of our family master?" Huo Xiaoli looked very unconvinced.
Zhang Qixun glanced at him lightly, "That's why I said, since picking a few of us, Old Lady Huo's vision of choosing people has become worse and worse, is there any problem?"
Huo Xiaoli was so hung up,
Knowing that he was stupid and couldn't talk about Zhang Qixun, he simply shut up and kept silent.
Zhang Qixun sighed, really unfunny.
Huo Zhixing sighed, "It seems that our operation this time has been in vain, but it is not a good thing that we can find a way out."
The food was consumed faster than he expected, and besides, their stock of alkali powder was not much, and with their current state of being sleepy and lacking, no one could eat a few more Milotas.
Seeing the depressed looks of several young men from the Huo family, Zhang Qixun began to pour chicken soup for them, "Don't be discouraged, failure is the mother of success, mistakes are right for his father, and it's the same for going to the ground, don't fail a few times, the baby is in your hands, and there is no sense of accomplishment, I'm right."
Huo Xiaoli brushed back a few pairs of dead fish eyes for Zhang Qi.
As he spoke, at the entrance of the hole where the jade vein was broken in front of him, another Milota poked out half of his body, and his hollow hole eyes, coupled with that ugly face, gave people a gloomy and mysterious feeling for no reason.
Zhang Qixun got up and patted the ashes on his buttocks, "Work hard, work hard, and strive to go back to report to your old lady before starving to death."

Meanwhile.
On the shore of the lake, the fat man caught Huo Zhizhi and scolded him.
Because he was so noisy, Huo Xiangu directly asked people to block the fat man outside.
Unable to see Mrs. Huo, the fat man could only find the old woman's subordinates to vent his anger.
"Stinky boy, the fat man will give you one last ultimatum today, if tonight before dark, my two brothers haven't come out of the water, you kid will wash his neck and wait for death." The fat man glared at Huo Zhizhi viciously.
On the day that Zhang Qixun and the little brother were trapped underground, after the fat man came back from the mountain survey, he went to Mrs. Huo to ask for an explanation.
However, Huo Xiangu prevaricated perfunctorily on the grounds that the situation of the underground sewer was complicated, and it was normal to delay for a day or two.
The fat man also experienced it with Zhang Qixun and the three of them last time, and he knew the following situation, so he could only temporarily endure the anxiety in his heart.
Unexpectedly, it was the second day, and seeing that the sun was about to set, Zhang Qixun had no sign of coming back.
The fat man couldn't sit still now, and shouted that he wanted to take someone to search the mountain.
Because of the high probability, Zhang Qixun and them will also come out from a long distance from the shore of the lake this time like the last time.
But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, if something happens to the two of them, you will not be able to strangle him if you know it.
As soon as this thought came out, the fat man immediately snorted, "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji."
The fat man's scolding combat power is comparable to a machine gun, and Huo Zhizhi burst from head to toe, "Hurry up and talk to your old lady, the fat man will take someone to search the mountain tonight, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for a phone call, and the actions on the naïve side will also follow the soup, so that your old woman's bamboo tube will be empty."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the tent.
Huo Zhizhi watched him leave without saying a word, and then he took out his handkerchief with a disgusted face, wiped off the saliva that was sprayed on his face by the fat man, and still felt diaphragm when it was over, and immediately turned around and ran back to the tent to wash his face.
After that, I went to Mrs. Huo's tent to report on the progress of mountain exploration.
"Master, three-quarters of the way through the exploration of the mountain, and it will take about two days to find the right entrance." Huo Zhizhi said.
Huo Xiangu stared at the materials and drawings spread out on the table, and sighed, "It's still too slow, the side of Siguniang Mountain can't afford to delay, and the hole where Wu Xie and the others came out still hasn't been found?"
Huo Zhizhi lowered his head, "No, the hole seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace left."
Huo Xiangu sneered, "Disappear out of thin air? Hmph, Wu heresy said that there is no trace of the existence of jade veins in that waterway, and there is no such thing as Milota filling the hole, and the matter is just man-made."
Huo Zhizhi poured the boiled ginseng tea into the tea bowl, respectfully presented it to Huo Xiangu with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Our people also found out that not long after Wu Xiaosanye and them were trapped underground, Wu Erye took them with him
A lot of guys came to Banai for a special trip."
"Wu Erbai." Huo Xiangu pinched the lid of the cup in her hand and stroked the hot air bubbling up, "That kid has ignored the affairs of the Nine Sects for a long time, but he is still quite concerned about his only nephew, perhaps, he knows more about the affairs of Banai than we do."
Huo Zhizhi asked, "Then do you want to send someone to visit Second Master Wu?"
Huo Xiangu shook her head, "No, he won't say it when he goes, that kid is purely a smiling tiger, Tai Chi is rounder than the grandmaster, if he knows that I am hiring Wu Xie to do things, he will definitely get involved and find ways to bring Wu Xie back."
There was another fat man's scolding outside the tent, and a trace of impatience flashed on Huo Zhizhi's face, "This dead fat man is talking so badly, I really want to close his mouth."
Huo Xiangu smiled indifferently, "Just find a few people to follow him to the mountains and come back, don't worry too much."
Just a simple pathfinder, she didn't think it would stump those two people.
Huo Zhizhi said "yes", and seeing that Huo Xiangu had no other instructions, he retreated.
As soon as he got out of the tent, he was grabbed by the neck by the fat man from behind, "Stinky boy, don't think that I can't take you if you hide in the old woman's tent......
Huo Zhizhi was about to die of anger, but he couldn't compare to the brute strength of the fat man, and he was hunched around by the fat man's neck, but he couldn't break free.
Angry, he scolded, "Dead fat man, hurry up and spread it for me, otherwise you don't want me to send someone to the mountains with you to find someone!"
"Huh?" The fat man's palm pinched hard, and Huo Zhizhi screamed in pain, "How do you talk to your fat man?"
Huo Zhizhi scolded a few more words, and was kicked on the ground by the fat man's buttocks, and only after receiving two fists did he completely soften, "I was wrong, I knew I was wrong, don't fight, don't you want to take someone up the mountain to find your two brothers?"
Only then did the fat man stop his hand and snort coldly, "The milk baby who has not faded clean, and dares to put on a score in front of your fat master, remember to be respectful next time, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat."
As he spoke, he kicked Huo Zhizhi on the leg again, urging, "Hurry up, don't pretend to be dead, send eleven, twenty or thirty people to follow me up the mountain first."
Huo Zhizhi was no longer angry in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it in his face, so he ran to call someone.
The fat man packed up his equipment and came out, and saw that there were no more than ten people standing outside the tent, and he was immediately stunned.
Huo Zhizhi was afraid that this reckless man would do it again, so he hurriedly took a few steps back, and was beaten in front of so many guys, didn't he want to lose face?
"Why are these people? Do you take the fat man's words as a fart?" The fat man dissatisfied.
Huo Zhizhi said with a bitter face: "Everyone else has something to do, and there are only a few people who can free up their hands for the time being."
The fat man looked into the distance and saw that those people were indeed not idle, so he snorted coldly and said to the ten Huo guys, "Bring the guys and go up the mountain to find someone."
Huo Zhizhi gave those guys a look, meaning that they just let them behave like it.
The fat man, who turned around and had taken the lead to walk up the mountain, sneered in his heart, really thought that the fat man was so foolish?

Underground, in the cave of Milothar.
After continuing to walk along the jade vein for two days, Zhang Qixun sensed that there were more Milotas around them again.
After another round of fighting, Huo Zhixing completely exhausted the alkali powder in their hands.
The boys were so tired that their legs were shaking, but they didn't dare to rest against the wall.
Because before, there was a guy who didn't see clearly and leaned against a dark jade vein wall, but was stabbed directly from behind by Milotus, and before he even had time to scream, he was suffocated to death by the blood that choked in his lungs.
When he died, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to take everyone with him.
The rest of the guys were frightened, the partners who were still fighting side by side with you one second, and the next second they were bleeding on the spot, this huge psychological stimulation was naturally unacceptable for these fledgling rookies.
One
The guy was already in a trance because he had been in this dark and oppressive space for a long time, but he was beaten by the blood of his dead teammates, and he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, screaming and rampage, and soon died in the siege of Milotha.
Zhang Qixun and the little brother were back to back, resisting this round of attacks, and then retreating to a place of temporary safety with the remaining three.
Huo Xiaoli's originally immature eyes were bloodshot at the moment, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't closed his eyes, these days they were fighting or fighting, the tears of fear had long since dried up, his brain was completely numb now, he even forgot his original intention of coming here, his only thought now was to live and get out alive.
Huo Zhixing licked the skin of his dry and cracked mouth, instantly tasted a rusty smell, blinked his somewhat sour eyes, and asked Zhang Qixun in a hoarse voice, "Do you think we can still go out?"
Zhang Qixun took out a few energy gels from his backpack and threw them to Huo Zhixing, and took a few more and stuffed them for the little brother, "I think I can, of course the little brother can, but you guys don't necessarily."
Huo Zhixing smiled bitterly, "It's all at this time, you still like to talk cool."
"You don't use poisonous chicken soup milk." Zhang Qixun was also very helpless, "Ye is still willing to take care of you, so you can steal the fun."
