Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Mysterious Cave
It was dark and not yet bright, except for a faint shadow of the moon in the sky, and a bright morning star twinkling on the horizon. Except for the guards who kept vigil, everything in Bamen Mountain was still asleep.
"Mo Cong, hurry up!"
"It's coming!"
Mo Cong and Liu Yun walked out of the back door of the Shengmen Hall lightly, and took advantage of the hazy night when the two of them ran down the mountain, with the whirring wind in their ears. After a short time, we reached the small village at the bottom of the mountain, and the small village was also silent, and occasionally some noises of domestic animals could be heard.
"We won't be discovered by Teacher Taibai, right?"
"If you're afraid, go back!"
"How can I rest assured that you are gone. ”
"If you care about me so much, then don't talk nonsense!"
The two of them were noisy all the way, but their footsteps never stopped, bypassing the proprietress's small hotel for more than ten miles to the west, and the stone archway in Snake Valley was faintly visible. When they got closer, the Snake Valley was filled with mist, and the humid air of the morning lifted the spirits of the two of them.
The cave that Liu Yun found was hidden behind a huge mountain rock, and a waterfall rushed down from the rock, and although it was not spectacular, the water was also fast.
"Hehe, such a secret place can only be discovered by a day like yours. After passing through the waterfall, Mo Cong looked at Liu Yun's wet few locks of hair and grinned.
"Are you laughing at me?" Liu Yun glanced at Mo Cong, handed Mo Cong a torch by the way, took one and shone it into the cave a few times, then turned around and said: "The last time I came in, I only walked a short distance and found that there were many small snakes on the ground, be careful not to be bitten by them, follow me!"
"It doesn't matter if you bite it, I asked for a lot of antidote from Sister Xiaohua yesterday. ”
"You've done this wisely. Liu Yun glanced back at Mo Cong and said.
"Hehe!" Mo Cong smiled, he suddenly felt that it was a luxury to be praised by Liu Yun.
The cave was pitch black, but the space was large, and the light of the torches in the hands of the two seemed very faint, like a lone lamp in the night. The road leading to the inside was potholed, and the droplets of water dripping from the roof of the cave clanged and echoed crisply.
"Mo Cong, look!"
After walking not far away, Liu Yun suddenly stopped his steps and carefully stepped back, as if he was afraid of stepping on something. Mo Cong hurriedly stretched out his torch and shone it, and almost everywhere the firelight reached was the spirit snake they were looking for, entwined and bent into a ball. The air in the cave was damp and bitterly cold, and the little snakes were afraid of the cold, and when the fire hit them, they only shrank and shrank, but they did not panic.
Seeing this, Mo Cong's face showed joy, looked at Liu Yun, and said, "It's really good!"
"Look, if I hadn't discovered this place, how many years and months would it take us to collect enough Purple Soul!" After saying that, Liu Yun shivered.
Mo Cong hurriedly took off his clothes and handed them to Liu Yundao:
"Here you go, put my clothes on, I'm not afraid of the cold!"
Taking Mo Cong's clothes, Liu Yun bit his red lip, it was still a little cold, but after putting on Mo Cong's clothes, he suddenly felt warm, even though it was just a small gown that couldn't shelter from the wind and rain.
"Let's get to work!"
The two of them set up the torches in the stone crevices of the rock wall, and simply opened all the lids of the soul power collection bottles, back to back, and used all their resources to launch a fierce attack. For a while, the soul power of various colors was like fluorescent ghost fire, and it was continuously included in the bottle one after another. However, it is still mostly green and white.
In less than half an hour, the soul power collected by the two was several times more than what they collected in a day, and the two were overjoyed when they saw this, and then looked at the countless dead snakes lying on the ground, and most of those who survived fled to the depths of the cave.
"Let's go, let's go inside!" Liu Yun was already interested, took out the torch, hung up the small leather bag, and waved his hand at Mo Cong.
"Wait!This cave can't be a lair for spirit snakes, what if a snake king comes out?" Mo Cong cautiously looked into the cave, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers.
"What are you afraid of? Didn't the Snake King be killed by you? besides, there is me this time!"
"However, I'm afraid that if I encounter danger, it won't be worth the loss!" Mo Cong looked at the collection bottle that actually collected more than a hundred blue soul power, and felt satisfied in his heart, and really didn't want to take the risk.
"What are you afraid of when you come with me?" Teacher Taibai also said that he wouldn't let us enter this cave, how about it? Isn't it very rewarding?" Liu Yun showed off and shook his little skin in front of Mo Cong's eyes.
Looking at the bright smile like flowers on the girl's face, thinking that swallowing the purple soul bead can transform soul power, Mo Cong was also a little carried away, waved his hand, and said proudly:
"That's right!
The path in the cave becomes smoother and smoother, and the rock walls on both sides are sometimes narrow and sometimes wide, and the further you go, the deeper and more mysterious it becomes. Along the way, the two encountered two groups of snakes, and the soul power they collected was not much left to smelt a purple soul. However, the two of them were dizzy from the rich results and did not want to stop there. After a turn, a strange light suddenly appeared in the cave, and the road ahead seemed to be under the bright moon and starry sky, clear and clear.
"Hey!" Looking at the glowing stones on the rock wall, Mo Cong smiled, "That's good, I don't need a torch yet!"
"That might be the luminous stone! The Martial Arts Continent still regards it as a rare treasure! I can't think of so much here. Liu Yun was indeed a little tired, and the rock walls on both sides were too wet, so she leaned on Mo Cong's body very casually, this was the first time she leaned on Mo Cong's body so casually and without scruples, after a beating in her heart, she felt that it was very steady, and she also felt that the boy's back was really solid and powerful. Even though Mo Cong was sweating.
"Liu Yun, are we still going forward?" Mo Cong didn't dodge, he also knew that after a few battles, Liu Yun had already consumed the internal strength of the fight, after all, she was a girl, and he also felt that Liu Yun, who seemed to be strong and decisive on weekdays, was so soft in her delicate body.
"Let me rest for a while!" Liu Yun leaned his head on Mo Cong's back, pursed his red lips and said, "Let's take a look at it for a while!"
"Is this discussing with me?" Listening to Liu Yun's voice, which seemed to have a somewhat consultative tone, Mo Cong said secretly in his heart. But seeing that the road in front of me was so strange, it was really itchy not to go ahead to see, so he said, "Then let's go a little more!"
The cave was bright, and the road under his feet seemed to be as smooth as artificial rest. Mo Cong suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some vague patterns on both sides of the rock wall.
"Is this a mural?"
"It should be, look! it looks like some monster!"
"Look there's still someone here!"
Liu Yun was carefully pondering the patterns on the mural, when Mo Cong suddenly shouted and frightened Liu Yun's heart. In the blink of an eye, the girl trembled with fright again, and took a few steps back.
A human face appeared on the rock wall in front of Mo Cong, and when he looked at it coldly, it was almost like a real person's face.
"It's carved in stone, it scares you!" Mo Cong chuckled at Liu Yun's slightly pale face.
"No, Mo Cong isn't quite right here!" Liu Yun held his breath and looked around, suddenly feeling that there was something eerie and terrifying in the cave.
"Liu Yun, look!"
The two of them had been studying the strange shapes on the rock wall, and before they knew it, they had walked far away, and Mo Cong suddenly found that the cave in front of them suddenly opened up, like a wide courtyard, and the roof of the cave was also much higher, with countless stalactites hanging upside down in the air.
"This water is so cold!"
There was a small pool of water in the huge cave, and it seemed that the water was bottomless, and Liu Yun waved his hand and suddenly felt that his fingertips were cold.
"This seems to be the strength of the cave, there is not a shadow of a snake here, Liu Yun, let's go back!"
After Mo Cong finished speaking, he saw Liu Yun blushing, looked down at Mo Cong, and said, "Mo Cong, I, I want to make it easier!"
"Uh, I, I'd like to make it easier too. Mo Cong also blushed. But there was no shelter in the cave.
The two were in a stalemate, when they suddenly saw a strange ripple on the surface of the water, and a small whirlpool appeared in the water. The two of them froze, staring at the surface of the water, the whirlpool getting bigger and bigger, and the speed of rotation getting faster and faster
"Run!"
At that moment, there was a loud noise in the water, and a huge python jumped out, the snake jumped out of the water and bowed down, its back had touched the top of the cave, its tongue rattled, its eyes were like bright lights, and the two huge fangs on the side of its mouth were like bright hooks.
The two of them ran quickly, but they didn't want the giant python behind them to have flown out of the water, galloping in the fishy wind. Mo Cong took advantage of the situation to play a ball of energy, but unfortunately he was swallowed by the giant python.
The two of them had no intention of urinating, only caring about running for their lives, looking back from time to time, the beast's eyes flickered, and they chased after it, and they were close at hand.
At the moment of life and death, the two collided with the oncoming person again, and when the bullet fell to the ground, the giant python had opened its bloody mouth. Before the two of them could react, they suddenly saw a red air flow swept through like a strong wind, pushing the big python out of the way.
The giant python fled in a hurry, but the people who came did not chase after him, took off the wine gourd on his waist, stood in front of the feet of the two and drank a sip of wine.
