They were getting closer and closer to the place where the faint light was emanating.

Suddenly, Xie Shijin stopped.

Li Yunxi asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Xie Shijin didn't speak, but held her hand tightly.

The sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air came from directly ahead, and the expressions of the two of them condensed at the same time, flashing towards both sides of the corridor.

But soon, there was a cold light on the road on both sides.

Before the two of them could get closer, they forced themselves to stabilize their bodies and did not lean against the wall of the corridor.

"Phew, this is to tie us into a sieve......"

Fortunately, the sharp blades that came out from both sides stopped there, and the two of them steadied themselves, exchanged glances, and continued to walk forward.

"It's ...... The pearl of the night? ”

"Pearl of the Night!"

Both said at the same time.

It turned out that the light they saw just now turned out to be a night pearl all over the wall.

Yes, all over the wall.

Most of these night pearls have decayed, and they are as dark as ordinary stones.

But there are still a few of them, which still emit a very faint light.

"Be careful!"

Just when the two of them were shocked by the night pearl here, bursts of white smoke suddenly appeared from the place where the night pearl was placed.

At the same time, small holes appeared in the walls, and arrows flew out of them.

Xie Shijin's eyes were quick, and he pulled the little girl behind him.

I don't know when a short knife appeared in his hand, and the arrows in front of him were quickly cut off by him one by one.

Li Yunxi looked at his back, and he was in a trance again.

……

outside

It was already completely dark.

After Qi Heng and Lao Han's discussion, everyone decided to rest in the open space facing the entrance of the cave in the distance tonight.

Lao Han and the others quickly went over to set up a tent, and the two boys also went to help.

Lucy: "Hee-hee, why haven't they come back......"

Professor Dong also said, "Yes, it has to be an hour, right?" I don't know what's going on inside......"

Professor Xia was sitting there, but he wasn't too worried, he now had a mysterious trust in Yunxi.

He even took out a jar to boil some hot water, and the mountain had cooled down the other night, but it was warm for them to put on a coat and sit by the fire, but in this valley, they couldn't wait to put on their cotton jackets.

Unfortunately not.

Fortunately, there are still some dead branches outside that can be picked up, and Lao Han went out for a spin and found a kind of combustible fuel grease, which can be burned for a long time wrapped in a branch.

Lucy looked at her grandfather dissatisfied: "Grandpa, why aren't you worried about Hee Xi at all......"

And just now, when Xixi said that he was going to go in, his grandfather didn't even persuade him.

She regrets it now that she didn't go in with Hee-hee.

She's not a qualified fan anymore!

didn't live and die with Hee-hee!

Professor Xia glanced at his granddaughter, "I'm worried that you know it again?" ”

When Professor Dong heard this, he smiled and said, "That's your grandfather's protégé, how can you not be worried?" ”

Lucy: "...... I really don't see it. ”

As they spoke, they saw two rays of light appear at the entrance of the cave.

"Hee-hee!"

Lucy cried out in surprise, and Sa Yazi ran over.

Qi Heng's face changed, and he quickly chased after her, grabbed her by the back collar, and forced Lucy to stop.

Lucy was grabbed by the back of fate's neck, and was furious: "What are you doing? ”

She's going to pick up Hee-hee!

Qi Heng carried her and dragged the person back, "See the person clearly and rush again." ”

Lucy: "!! ”

She asked him angrily: "Only Xixi and them go in, will someone else come out?" ”

Qi Heng glanced at her lightly and didn't answer her such a stupid question.

Even they have been planted on this many times before, not to mention this doll that looks stupid.

But this time it was indeed Li Yunxi and Xie Shijin who came out.

When she saw the person clearly, Lucy shook off Qi Heng's hand and rushed over.

"Hee-hee!"

"Woo woo, you're finally out...... I'm so worried about you! ”

"That Qi Heng is so bad, he actually carried me and threw me ......"

Lucy hugged Li Yunxi's arm, and as soon as she finished pouring out her worries, she began to complain.

Li Yunxi patted the little girl's head and comforted: "It's okay, I'll beat him for you later." ”

Qi Heng who just walked over: "......"

Qi Heng looked the two up and down, and found that both his own boss and Miss Li were a little embarrassed.

This doll is really stupid, and she has no eyesight at all.

"Boss, you're not hurt, are you?"

Xie Shijin shook his head, "It's okay." ”

Only then did Lucy react and circled around Li Yunxi.

"Hee-hee, are you alright?"

Li Yunxi also shook his head, "It's okay, let's go, let's go to the teacher's side first." ”

Professor Xia, they also stood there looking forward to it.

When they saw the man returning, they were all relieved.

Professor Xia asked, "How?" Nothing, right? ”

The two shook their heads, and they didn't sell it, Xie Shijin said: "It's okay, it should be the place you are looking for inside, and the defense is very tight." ”

Professor Xia patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, then Lao Han will go and send a message, let the other two teams come over, and send some more people." ”

A few people took hot water, looking at the little dry food left, and tomorrow they had to let people in anyway, otherwise they might not be able to get out on their own.

The night is getting darker,

Everyone, except for Lao Han and Xie Shijin, went into the tent to rest.

Outside the valley, bursts of thick fog gradually filled, and this thick fog seemed to have grown feet, and it penetrated into the valley silently little by little.

In the darkness of the night, none of this was noticed.

Unconsciously, Lao Han felt that his eyelids were gradually getting heavier......

He seemed to realize something, and tried to cheer himself up, but to no avail.

……

Early the next morning,

When Li Yunxi woke up, he found that Lucy, who was supposed to be sleeping next to him, was nowhere to be seen.

She was slightly surprised, the little girl got up quite early today.

Li Yunxi pulled out the tent and walked out.

Outside, the sun was already in full bloom, but it was unusually quiet.

The elders who were supposed to be sitting by the fire talking and laughing disappeared at this time, and Lao Han and Xiao Xu didn't see anyone.

Xie Shijin was not there either.

Even the fire has been extinguished for a long time......

The relaxed expression on Li Yunxi's face gradually froze.

"Lucy?"

"Teacher?"

"Xie Shijin?"

Her voice echoed outside the empty cavern, and it was clear that there was no one else here but herself.

Li Yunxi walked out and walked to the valley outside, but there was still no figure in sight.

Her complexion changed and changed, and she couldn't understand why people were gone......

Finally...... What happened?

After walking along the path she had come from, she suddenly stopped and turned back.
