Chapter 17: Into the Abyss

Broken rocks piled up in front of the cave, blocking the place, but there was still a trace of cold air blowing from there.

Xiao Man looked around carefully, and felt that this place was very unusual, he was wondering where the creature had gone, why it disappeared with a howl, such a big guy, it didn't look like it had run away, but it seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air, which was unpredictable.

There was still blood on the ground, and I don't know if it was the creature's.

"Huh?"

Under a few pieces of rubble, Xiao Man found the broken arm, removed the stone, picked up the arm, and Xiao Man looked at it.

"Is this really that uncle's arm? Why is it so strong? Wow! It can't be a godfather, right?" Xiao Man's heart suddenly felt a chill.

Looking up at this strange mountain again, Xiao Man turned around, he wanted to take this broken arm to Ji Xiangyue to see if it was Uncle Zhong.

Seeing Xiaoman coming over without incident, Ji Xiangyue exhaled, she kept staring at Xiaoman's figure intently, for fear that something would happen.

"What did you find?"

"That guy was gone, he disappeared strangely, and he couldn't find any trace, until he found this. Xiao Man said as he handed the broken arm to Ji Xiangyue, and carefully paid attention to Ji Xiangyue's expression.

"This ......" Ji Xiangyue's pupils constricted, and her lips trembled slightly.

"This is Uncle Zhong's arm, I won't be mistaken. Trembling and taking that arm, Ji Xiangyue was already full of tears in her eyes.

"Uncle Zhong...... Have you already suffered an accident......" Ji Xiangyue thought that Uncle Zhong was dead, and tears poured down her face. He sat down on the ground and sobbed softly.

Xiao Man frowned and thought in his heart, it seems that he should not be a godfather, his true feelings are revealed! What a good girl!

He squatted beside Ji Xiangyue and accompanied her.

At this time, the big buffalo came slowly and arched the little man with his head.

"Moo-"

"What, this person is still alive?" Xiao Man looked at the big buffalo in surprise.

"Huh?"

When Ji Xiangyue heard this, she raised her head and looked at the huge bull head incredibly, her face was full of tears, and her eyes were red.

"Moo-"

"Yes, no wonder I didn't notice it. Xiao Man frowned and looked back at the broken foot of the mountain.

"What did Da Niu say?" asked Ji Xiangyue eagerly.

"Da Niu said that he could smell Uncle Zhong and that monster, and it was in that cave. ”

"What cave?"

"There are two mountains, and there is a big cave in the middle, which has destroyed half of the monster. ”

"I'll take a look. Ji Xiangyue said that she was about to go.

Xiaoman hurriedly stopped her!

"Don't go, since it's in that cave, maybe there's some danger, so I'll go, and the big cow will stay here to protect you." "This is my future daughter-in-law!

"No! I'm going too! I can't let you take a risk. Ji Xiangyue looked at Xiaoman firmly.

"I can do it alone, and I can escape in case of danger!"

"No! I must go with you! You don't know Uncle Zhong, only me. ”

"This ......"

Xiao Man looked at Ji Xiangyue's stubborn pretty face and firm eyes, and could only agree.

"Well, in that case, you stay here and wait for us. ”

"Moo!"

"Let's go!"

"Hmm!"

Ji Xiangyue wrapped Uncle Zhong's severed arm in bear skin, put it on the body of the big buffalo, and then followed behind Xiaoman, and the two walked towards the cave that was piled up with rubble one after the other.

Approaching, Xiao Man cautiously looked at the cave, worried that there would be any accidents, protecting Ji Xiangyue's body behind him, Xiao Man moved the gravel away, and gradually leaked out of the unfathomable cave, without the obstacle of the stone pile, the gusts of yin wind continued to surge, flowing away around the two.

Xiao Man looked inside cautiously, but he couldn't see anything, he turned around to look at Ji Xiangyue, took one of her hands, and held it tightly in his hand. Ji Xiangyue clenched Xiao Man's palm that was about the same size as herself with her backhand, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were firm.

Although Xiao Man's heart was also nervous, the Rouyi in his hand gave him a lot of confidence! Take the lead! Step into the dark and deep cave.

The two of them had already entered the cave, and it was dark all around, and they couldn't see the scene in front of them clearly, and Xiao Man regretted that he didn't make a torch, but he couldn't make a fire!

Ji Xiangyue followed closely behind Xiao Man, the whistling sound of the yin wind kept coming from her ears, her palms were already sweating, Xiao Man in front turned her head and pinched Ji Xiangyue's softness slightly, giving her an encouraging smile.

Feeling Xiao Man's encouragement, Ji Xiangyue's frightened mood calmed down a lot, and she moved her broken steps carefully; Xiao Man held Ji Xiangyue with one hand, and kept groping on the wall with the other hand, and the dark environment could only move forward like this.

After advancing for a while, it was already pitch black around her, and even you couldn't see each other, as if you had lost your eyesight; Ji Xiangyue pulled Xiaoman with one hand, and put the other hand on his back, at this time she only relied on Xiaoman.

Xiao Man slowed down his pace, the two of them estimated that they had walked about 100 meters, and the surrounding darkness was not visible, there was no light; I didn't expect this cave to be so long; as the smell of blood gradually appeared, Xiao Man cheered up and moved forward cautiously.

"Click!"

In the dark and quiet cave, this voice was unusually loud, making the bodies of the two of them tense suddenly, and they did not dare to move.

A drop of sweat rolled down Xiao Man's forehead, not hot, but nervous and frightened! He leaned down gently, and Ji Xiangyue, who was behind, couldn't see what he was doing clearly, and didn't dare to make a sound to ask.

There was no light, Xiao Man groped slowly, and just now he stepped on something and made a sound. He wanted to pick it up and see what it was, but it was too dark to pick it up and he couldn't see it, he took Ji Xiangyue's hand, clamped it under his armpit, groped with both hands, and felt what it was with his hands.

Ji Xiangyue understood what Xiao Man was going to do with her free hands, she grabbed Xiao Man's arm tightly and waited for him.

After groping for a while, Xiao Man pulled Ji Xiangyue's little hand and held it in the palm of her hand again, Ji Xiangyue also clenched it hard, as if it would disappear if she let go of her hand.

Xiao Man didn't dare to speak loudly, and poked his head to tell Ji Xiangyue what he had found, but it was too dark, and as soon as he probed, he felt that his mouth was touching a soft object.

"Hmm!"

Ji Xiangyue hurriedly covered her mouth and widened her eyes!

Xiao Man was stunned! This ...... This...... I kissed her just now? Absolutely! I kissed her! It was so fast that I didn't even have a memory, should I do it again! I can't see it anyway, I think it's accidental!

Xiao Man wanted to probe again, but his lips rolled over, and he had reached the limit length of human beings!

"Bump!"

It's not as soft as imagined, but it slammed into the head, the two are about the same height, Ji Xiangyue lowered her head in surprise just now, and she was about to shrink into the collar, and Xiaoman hit Ji Xiangyue's forehead directly.

Under Ji Xiangyue's soft call, Xiaoman hurriedly pretended not to know, and asked with concern:

"What's wrong?"

"I didn't ...... It's okay......"

At this time, Ji Xiangyue's cheeks were already ripe! He actually kissed himself just now! And he kissed himself on both lips! Ji Xiangyue forgot her fear! Her brain went blank.

Xiaoman's plan failed, hurry up and change the topic!

"I just stepped on something and found that it was a bone, it looks like some kind of animal, you touch it. ”

"Oh...... Good ......"

Ji Xiangyue came back to her senses and remembered where she was at the moment, but she still felt that her cheeks were hot and her lips were numb. She bit her red lip gently, groped her way a little bit, and touched the bone in Xiaoman's hand, Ji Xiangyue put away her thoughts and felt it carefully.

"It's like the mandibles of some animal. ”

Xiao Man held the bone in his hand, and the feeling that came from his hand was that this bone had been around for a long time, and it turned into powder with a little force.

I really want to thank the owner of this bone! Xiao Man thought in his heart, dropped the bone in his hand, and pulled Ji Xiangyue to continue to grope forward.

However, suddenly, Xiao Man stepped out of the air with his left foot, his body fell forward, and he was about to fall down with Ji Xiangyue. Xiao Man, who is agile, turned around in an instant, faced Ji Xiangyue, caught her delicate body, and did not let her get hurt......

Xiao Man's eyes widened!

Ji Xiangyue's eyes also widened, although she couldn't see anything clearly, the feeling of her free-falling limbs and the sound of the wind in her ears made her want to scream.

Xiao Man hugged Ji Xiangyue tightly, the whereabouts of the two of them were rapid, and they didn't know how deep, Xiao Man's mind turned quickly, and he was trying to save himself, otherwise the two would be buried here.

And before Xiao Man could think of a way, Xiao Man felt that his body hit the steep stone wall, and the sudden impact made Xiao Man's organs tumble violently!

"Bang!

The two of them changed from a falling state to a downward state, and Xiaoman kept hugging Ji Xiangyue and protecting her whole body.

I don't know how far I passed, there was suddenly a little light ahead, the light was getting closer and closer, and staying in the dark environment for a long time made my eyes unable to adapt for a while, so I could only close my eyes and recover briefly.

"Huh!"

The two flew out of a hole and fell to the ground.

Finally stopped, Xiaoman's body was dying, he let go of his hand, and didn't care whether the surroundings were safe or not, just lay there, letting his body organs slowly calm down......

Ji Xiangyue propped herself up from Xiaoman's body and looked around, the light was not very bright, but it was enough to see things clearly, and when Ji Xiangyue gradually saw everything in front of her, she was already there.

This is an underground space, unusually huge, a hundred feet in circumference, hemispherical, there are eight large holes in the stone wall around the arc, the two of them came out of one of them, a huge furnace in the center of the field, very huge!

The furnace body is pitch black, with five legs, two ears on it, and there are huge round holes on all sides of the furnace body, and you can see the blazing fire inside, and the top of the furnace is a stone gourd, which is full of cracks. The furnace was bigger than the mountain peaks, and clouds and mist were constantly pouring out of it.

In this space, the upper level is obscured by clouds, while in the middle level there is a lot of green mist that wanders back and forth around the great central furnace. The lower level is the ground, which is full of textured ravines, winding, densely extending in a huge furnace in the center.

Xiao Man got up slowly, breathing heavily, he was very uncomfortable, there were constant bursts of pain in his body, he supported his body and looked around.

"What is this place?" asked Xiao Man.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the central underground of Misty Cloud Ridge. Ji Xiangyue replied.

"What's that?" Xiao Man pointed to the huge furnace.

"It's a melting pot, I just don't know what it's for. ”

Xiao Man got up, raised his head and looked up at the huge furnace, as if he could refine heaven and earth, it was really spectacular, this world was more mysterious than he imagined. Xiao Man turned around and looked at Ji Xiangyue and asked:

"Da Niu said that the monster and Uncle Zhong's smell are here, but where is it, there is nothing but this furnace, it won't be in that furnace, right?"

After listening to Xiaoman's words, Ji Xiangyue set her eyes on the huge furnace, is it really in that furnace?

Ji Xiangyue gritted her silver teeth, clenched her fists, and made a decision. She came to Xiaoman's side and looked at him softly.

"Xiaoman, thank you! Desperately accompany me here, protect me along the way, and would rather be injured than protect me. ”

"Well, this is what I should do, aren't we good friends!" But I care about lewdness in my heart, you are my future daughter-in-law, how can you do it if you don't look at it.

She looked at Xiaoman and gently took his hand. This is the first time that Ji Xiangyue took the initiative to go to Xiaoman.

"Enough, you've done enough, I can't let you take any more risks, you're already hurt, sit here obediently, I'll take a look. ”

"No, let's go together. ”

"Listen to me and sit here obediently. ”

Ji Xiangyue looked at Xiao Man with unquestioning eyes.

"But......" Xiaoman frowned, his body was in sharp pain, and he couldn't move at all.

"No, but! stay here. We've been down for a long time, and there's not a bit of movement here, so it seems safe for the time being. I'm just going to go over and take a look, and if I don't find Uncle Zhong, we'll find a way to go back and don't get involved in danger anymore. ”

Ji Xiangyue didn't want to let Xiaoman take risks, she wanted to go first.

"Okay...... Be careful!"

"Yes!"

Ji Xiangyue turned around abruptly, staring at the huge furnace with a determined gaze.
