Jiang Jinjiu was basically fine after replenishing his food, and he only needed to bask in the sun quietly for a few hours to be alive, so Qin Zhaoyun got Qin Xuan down from the pavilion and stayed with everyone.

During the break, Jiang Jinjiu and Li Er talked about their experiences in the cave in detail, and Qin Zhaoyun was eager to try the Bronze Man Array.

Gongsun Zhi used pen and paper to record the key points and drew a map of his vision. Although Jiang Jinjiu and Li Er feel different, they are generally not much different.

Gongsun Zhi and Qin Zhaoyun studied it carefully, and based on the area and height of the forbidden land they saw on the high mountain in their memory, they came to the conclusion that Jiang Jinjiu and Li Er had only been to the second basement floor, between the halfway point of the mountain and the horizon.

As for how many layers there are below, the two of them can't estimate, after all, the people of Quemu Mountain can dig deep strata.

There is also one question that needs to be explored the most, how did Jiang Jinjiu and Li Er come to the square from the underground cave.

They were at a loss for what it was, and they couldn't even remember the approximate time of losing consciousness.

Gongsun Zhi recalled the situation when he found Jiang Jin drinking, although there were dirt marks on his body, it was caused by rubbing dirt. The lack of mud embedded in the grooves on the soles of his shoes indicates that he has not set foot in the maple forests of the secluded mountains.

Then there are only two possibilities, one is that Jiang Jinjiu was sent here by something, and the other is that it came out of the tunnel.

If it is the first case, it is most likely that the two giant sheep are the two giant sheep, but Jiang Jinjiu has no miscellaneous hair on his body, so the possibility is a few points lower.

If it is the second case, then the tunnel exit is likely to be near the square.

Qin Zhaoyun volunteered, and Li Er also joined in, but after searching for two hours, he found nothing.

Although they did not give up, it was almost evening, and it was even more important to make dinner and prepare for the night.

After dinner, it was already dark.

They decided to spend the night in the gazebo, not to light a fire, fearing that the light of the fire would cause trouble, but they found a lot of dead branches and piled them up in the earthen pit in the center of the square, just in case.

And since Li Er put on the Netherworld Dun Armor, he feels energetic and doesn't need to go back to the bottle to rest. After nightfall, the spirit is more energetic, so the work of the vigil is handed over to Li Er.

They couldn't sleep for a while, and they chatted until half-past eight.

Li Er was alone in the quiet night, half-lying looking at the sky, looking at the countless stars, and couldn't help but recall the past. Whenever I think of the voice and appearance of my comrades-in-arms, I want to take two sips and sing a few words.

A gust of wind blew, bringing a few maple leaves, and Li Er picked up a maple leaf, unable to taste it.

The moon gradually rose overhead, and the bright moonlight fell on the stone face of the square to become brighter, but the woods became darker and darker.

There are also a lot of small clouds in the sky, and I always want to get close to the moon.

Every time you get closer, a large shadow appears on the ground.

This is normal, but I don't know when it started, Li Er was a little uneasy, especially when the shadow came, he felt that something was stirring his nerves.

It's a familiar feeling, it's the feeling of the enemy sneaking in.

Li Erban squatted, maintaining a vigilant posture. Eyes gaze into the dark woods, looking for the most likely place to hide.

After a while, nothing unusual was found. But he felt more and more uneasy, and there was an additional sizzling sound that passed through his ears from time to time, as if spider silk was stuck to his head, which could not be seen and could not be removed, and it was wrapped around his head and made his neck itch.

The moon is gradually falling, the moonlight is getting brighter and brighter, and Li Er has always been vigilant.

Suddenly, a few dark shadows flew in!

Li Er clenched the flashlight and stared closely.

They got closer and closer, flying lower and lower, and the result was a false alarm, just a few maple leaves.

But Li Er did not relax, he still felt a sense of crisis.

After a while, a few more maple leaves flew in, and within two minutes, some flew again, which made Li Er feel that something was wrong.

These maple leaves flew down from the top of the tree, but the maple trees were all about the same height, and the wind was not strong tonight, so it could not be the wind that blew the leaves into the sky. Most likely, then, the maple leaves fell from the halfway up the mountain. But if there is no strong wind, why is there so much drifting?

Li Er followed the trajectory of the maple leaves and found that there were several places in the mountains and forests, and from time to time a ball of maple leaves flew up and then fell down.

Looking at the way the maple leaves fly, it should have been carried up by a small whirlwind. But how can there be a small whirlwind in the dense forest? Is there open space in those places?

Just wondering, Li Er suddenly felt that he saw something in the afterglow, looked down, and suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

The ground of the square is full of moths bigger than pumpkins!

They're copulating in the moonlight!

One by one, they spread their wings to reveal their white and fat torsos, and they kept shaking tail to tail, and they tilted their heads and shook their grape-sized eyes, reflecting the moonlight, as if all eyes were looking in the same direction. And the sizzling sound that came from among them!

Although Li Er didn't know what dense phobia was, he was really stunned at the moment, and if he had goosebumps, he would have fallen more than three times.

He had never seen such a big moth, and it seemed to have a strange hand drawn on its wings, and there were short spines on the edges of the wings, and he wondered if he had seen a monster.

Qin Xuan sat up and stretched, so frightened that Li Er almost slipped. Seeing that Qin Xuan was about to open his mouth and yawn, he rushed to Qin Xuan's back and covered her mouth.

Qin Xuan was so shocked that he hit his backhand. Li Er hurriedly dodged and brought his face in front of Qin Xuan, and pointed to the square while signaling for silence.

Qin Xuan saw that it was Li Er, and was surprised and delighted. However, when I saw the picture of the square, I couldn't help but gasp and was stunned.

Seeing that she was no longer silent, Li Er woke up the others one after another.

Everyone's reaction was shocking, and Gongsun Zhi even took out a mask for everyone to wear.

He knew that the more beautiful the moth's wings, the more poisonous the powder on them was. Moreover, it is known that poisonous moths are no bigger than a rice bowl, and the toxicity is not weak. These moths, which are bigger than pumpkins, are afraid that their toxicity will be increased exponentially.

More and more moths crawled out of the maple forest and into the square, and soon it was so crowded that some places were stacked into small hills, and some were clustered into a ball.

The visual inspection has already exceeded a thousand, and Gongsun Zhi is very worried about tomorrow's trip, and the moth will definitely become the most terrible resistance.

Catching a glimpse of the pyre in the square between his thoughts, a fierce light flashed in the corner of Gongsun Zhi's eyes.

After a while, no more moths emerged from the maple forest. Gongsun Zhi quietly took out four Yang Yan Beads and two yellow broken stones and scattered them under him, then took out a red talisman with his hand, and suddenly turned around and threw it out.

The talisman spun at high speed, and sparks flashed halfway through, and after shooting into the pyre, it spewed out fire, igniting the pyre in the blink of an eye.

The moths in the square watched the fire in unison, and then flapped their wings and flew off the ground.

However, when the six beads shot into the fire at the same time, there was a heavy muffled sound, and in an instant the flames soared into the sky, roaring in all directions, burning everything that came into contact. Most of the moths in the square were devoured by the flames, those near were charred, and the farther ones were broken and their limbs were broken. The shock wave shook the entire square, and those who were near were torn apart, and the far ones were bursting with tears, and only a few survived, thrashing half-dead.

Everyone couldn't see such a scene immediately, and the next moment when Gongsun Zhi threw the beads, he opened the mechanism in the umbrella, and the umbrella cloth opened in an instant, almost covering the entire pavilion cover. After withstanding the shock wave, the umbrella cloth wrapped around the roof of the pavilion to block the dust that came to the face.

But they could smell the scorching stench in the air, and they knew how terrible the scene was.

Qin Xuan looked at Gongsun Zhi incredulously, she didn't understand Gongsun Zhi's approach, but she didn't expect him to do it so quickly and decisively. The light of the fire was about to be extinguished after penetrating the dense umbrella cloth, and it shone faintly on his face, making him look cold and cruel.

This is the first time Qin Xuan has suspected Gongsun Zhi, the senior brother who has taken care of her since she was a child, although she is half-baked with each other, she has always been an amiable, intelligent and wise, majestic and decent senior brother in her heart. Facing this cold face, she couldn't help but ask herself if she really knew Gongsun Zhi.

The thought flickered through her as something landed on the umbrella cloth and disturbed her.

At first, everyone thought it was the remains of a moth, but after a while, after taking away the umbrella cloth, they found that it was all maple leaves.

Somehow, the explosion caused a lot of maple leaves to fall on the square, almost completely covered, as if covered with a red carpet, reflecting the firelight very gorgeous.

But in the eyes of everyone, this is like a scene of blood-stained mountains and rivers.

Gongsun Zhi couldn't help but look up at the sky, feeling melancholy in his heart, did he do something wrong.

Jiang Jinjiu suddenly said: "Look! ”

He pointed to the maple leaves on the ground, which were rotting at a rate visible to the naked eye. Within a moment, the maple leaves shrank into clumps, turning dark brown in color and oozing a drop of liquid from the stem.

When the liquid falls on the moth's torso, it immediately tumbles and bubbles, and the skin it touches instantly turns black and is constantly corroded. And the foam rolls more and more, and after coming into contact with the moth's abdominal fluid, the foam gushes like shaking cola.

"Not good! Poisonous! Li Er shouted and stopped in front of the three of them: "Hide!" ”

The brother and sister said in their hearts that this was simply the palm of Father-in-law Hai's bones, and they felt furious in their hearts.

As soon as the brother and sister got up, Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and said, "Don't move, according to my observation, the wings of the moth should be poisonous, but the fire burns seventy or eighty percent, and the poison of this strong acid rot should have another reason." ”

The three of them looked at it, and there were indeed many maple leaves that had not changed color.

Qin Zhaoyun's eyes were sharp, and he found that there were many pieces of pale yellow viscous liquid on the ground, and after a little recollection, he knew that those were the things produced when the moths mated their tails.

When he told everyone what he had discovered, Qin Xuan blushed and snorted at him, saying that he was whimsical.

But in fact, if it weren't for seeing it with their own eyes, who would have thought that the tail liquid and maple leaves could produce such a strong venom, no wonder the square has been abandoned for many years but there are few fallen leaves, and dare to "clean" it every month.

It took less than three minutes for a large moth to corrode into a blackened, empty shell that looked like it would crumble into slag at the slightest touch. The foam also spread throughout the square, corroding everything on it.

Suddenly, Li Er jumped down from the pavilion, ignoring the inquiries of others, ran straight to the fire, and turned his hand and showed his big knife into the flames.

After a moment, he drew his broadsword, and the blade of the knife was glowing with blue flames. He raised his sword to the sky, and then swung a set of open and closed knife techniques, his feet moving indefinitely, round or square, leaving a burning trace every time the blade slashed across the ground, and swam to the edge of the square, forming a long flame rune.

Li Er drew a total of six flame runes, which together with the fire resemble blooming flowers.

Gongsun Zhi and the brother and sister were very surprised, Li Er's painting method was clearly a Taoist method, but they didn't know runes. More strictly speaking, it is recognizable and illiterate. They knew it was ancient writing, but they hadn't seen it.

The moment Li Er stopped, the flames of the fire turned from red to blue, and the fire exploded twice.

For a while, the air flow surged, and after a while, a cyclone formed, and the corpse of the leaf crushed moth on the ground flew into the blue flame, turning into flying ash in an instant, and slowly drifting into the maple leaf.

However, as there were more and more moth corpses, there was a black gas in the blue flame.

Seeing this, Li Er took a step forward and sang: "My lord has passed the order in his tent, and the soldiers have taken Dongchuan." Annoyed that the military advisor was shallow, he said that I can't beat that Xiahou Yuan. Zhang He was frightened by a certain person, abandoned his armor and helmet and walked away from the barren mountain. Sitting in the carved saddle of the three armies, the big and small children listened to me: all the merits of the front are shown, and the heads of the people who retreat are hung with high poles. Shouted and urged to stand forward......"

Although he was out of tune, every time he swung his knife, a little golden light floated on his face, and the black qi stained with the light disappeared.

After a song, the black gas faded.

Gongsun Zhi stood up suddenly, and said in surprise, "Liuding Hellfire Array!" ”
