In the calm and not too wide well, suddenly there were many fine churning blisters for no apparent reason, as if something was swimming underneath, with a series of ripples, but there was really some quiet and ordinary, as if the light breeze in the mirror flowers and water moon could always blow some insignificant waves.

However, on the surface of the well, which is only less than two or three feet wide, such ups and downs are really a little strange and inexplicable.

It's just that everything doesn't matter.

Because after all, it is just a well that no one cares about, and naturally there must be no terrible waves rolled up.

"Whew-" The exhausted Shi Liang gently surfaced.

Although the greatest danger at this time, the bird monster has flown away, the warrior who has always been cautious still habitually maintains the caution that he has always maintained after entering the combat state, resisting the incomparable desire for fresh air at this moment, controlling his chest, and slowly inhaling a breath of fresh air that has not been fully absorbed for a long time with the smoothest breathing.

To be honest, it wasn't as easy as it seemed for anyone to break a relatively tight, well-sealed metal mechanism under such a narrow waterway as just now.

If it weren't for Shi Liang's years of military training, he had a very solid foundation for tempering and accumulation, which made his heart and endurance far superior to ordinary people; At the same time, it also happened that his current body was reduced due to the approximation of the depletion of the key energy, and he was like a child, and he happened to be in that narrow waterway, which was enough to let go of his hands and feet, and I was afraid that it would not be as smooth as it is now.

It is very likely that the master of the water network in charge of the design mechanism himself never imagined that one day many years later, there would be such a Predator the size of a child of seven or eight years old, who could be suffocated under the water, spending half an hour before and after, just to pry a lock that he had designed with regret many years ago.

However, the biggest reason why Shi Liang's operation has been successful so far is that it was not until yesterday that he finally woke up.

In the cold night, after everyone finalized the escape plan, Shi Liang did not waste the remaining time, but withstood the fatigue after a busy day, maximized the use of leisure, and learned as many tricks as possible that could temporarily control his strength.

The battle was about to start, and Shi Liang didn't dare to be careless.

Yes, during this trip to the Fire Crystal Valley, the soldiers of the Fierce Armor Legion who had no choice but to become 'children' were already frightened by the several times in distress that they were unable to resist due to their lack of strength, so they were extra concerned about their control and recovery of their existing forces.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to give full play to what he had learned underwater to a great extent, and successfully broke the metal lock that had been soaked in the water for many years and had no one to maintain before he could die.

And now, he's succeeding again!

He believed that he was careful enough, and only needed a little more rest and recovery, and he would be able to sneak up the nest along the shaft, and then sneak into the Bloody Clothes Camp from the back of the mountain...

"Who!"

While the boy was thinking, a dry and hoarse woman's exclamation sounded from outside the well above, and the man, who was still panting in fright, suddenly widened his eyes and completely tightened his body before he had time to relax.

'How could anyone?' ’

At this moment, Shi Liang's heart was like a bell, surprised more than doubtful, uneasy and confused, but he didn't know where his omission was.

At this moment, it was as if the flow of time and everything else around it had completely stopped in that second.

"yes, how could anyone else be in a place like this?" The slightly terrifying pale female voice spoke again, and the stalemate only lasted for a moment, but the voice that had gone through the vicissitudes of life was more like self-ridicule, but between the words, it seemed to be mixed with a lot of unspeakable loneliness and disappointment.

"Squeak-quack-"

This time, the sound was made by the harsh sound of the metal ring sleeve of the axle rubbing against the gasket, as if to tell the 'thief' who was hiding in the well that there was actually a door outside the wellhead that had not closed smoothly because it had not been oiled and waxed for too long.

'How can there be such a thing as a door in a strange bird's nest?' ’

Shi Liang, who was dormant, was confused, but in order not to cause unnecessary turmoil, he still chose to put aside the uneasiness in his heart for the time being and continued to swim and wait.

'One, two, three... ’

There was silence outside.

‘。。。 Two hundred and ninety-eight, two hundred and ninety-nine, three hundred! ’

The boy, who had been forcing himself to calm down, finally raised his head again.

"Tired of swimming, aren't you? Child. A dry and hoarse voice sounded at the right time.

The shadow of the rear projection obscured the small amount of light in the well, and the long silver-white hair was scattered along the edge of the well, and a strange face that was so white that it was a little distorted, and the corners of the mouth were a little dry and peeling.

A woman, laughing is more ugly than crying: "Giggles, don't be afraid, little brother, sister, I won't hurt you." ”

'Ahh

。。。。。。

After all, Shi Liang was still a warrior with a strong enough heart, and since he had already been discovered by the other party, he didn't continue to cover up, and slowly climbed out of the well with the help of the bucket hemp rope that the woman then threw down.

Yes, he went ashore.

Outside the shaft, the walled courtyard, the grass and trees are sparse, and it seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time; White walls and black tiles, carved railings and paintings, it is still a wealthy family, but in the range that can be seen within easy reach of this patio, it is because of disrepair, and there is still some dilapidated and lonely feeling that the scenery is not as good as in the past.

No! Wrong! Very wrong!

Although it is like a family here, it is still a bleak cave that cannot see the light of day at a glance, outside the walled courtyard, the rock wall covers the roof, although there are occasional pearls shining, diffusing colors, but after all, it is not as sufficient as the light under the blue sky.

Who is doing this?

In the small hole in the ridge of this barren wilderness, you can outline such a mansion that is not like that of ordinary people. In particular, the design and production of the glorious glaze on the dome is beyond the reach of skilled craftsmen.

Looking at everything in front of him, Shi Liang was already a little speechless, but he still held back his curiosity and pulled his thoughts back.

In front of him, there was an old woman in palace clothes who was wheezing for breath, her white body was extremely thin, but she was dressed in a gorgeous dress with excellent workmanship, silk and silk, and she was dressed better than the noblewomen in the wealthy family.

It's just that her dying body seems to have been drained of all its energy by the years, and it has a withered body like a candle in the last years.

This woman didn't know if it was because she helped Shi Liang out of the well before, and after being busy, he didn't think he would have a lot of strength, so his face was extremely embarrassed now, and his breath was very unstable.

"Auntie, are you alright?" Shi Liang's previous experience of pretending to be stupid was once again used at this time.

"It's okay... Good boy, call me sister in the future. Don't look at this woman, her voice and appearance are old, but she still has a deep boudoir little woman's playfulness, "You, this child... How did you get to such a place? ”

"This place?" Shi Liang pretended to be confused.

The woman was also kind, and showed a slightly embarrassed and dry smile: "Little brother, don't you know, here, there are man-eating monsters everywhere."

"Huh?" Shi Liang opened his mouth, pretending to be ignorant and afraid.

"Tell me, who are you?" A cold glint flashed in the woman's eyes, although her body was weak and her speech was a little light, but as soon as she spoke, she had already asked the 'boy' in front of her.

"Doll, don't say you don't know anything. It is absolutely impossible for a child of seven or eight years old to come here alone through the barren land; Moreover, others don't know about the mechanism at the bottom of this well, but I know it in my heart, say, who are you? What are you doing here? ”

Shi Liang was really stopped at once.

It's not that he's so stupid that he can't find any suitable excuse to prevaricate the incomparably frail old woman in front of him.

It's just that because this woman's state at this time is too papery, for Shi Liang, it can really be said: there is no threat at all, but it makes him unable to open his mouth for a while.

After all, with the old Li Zhuyu in front, Shi Liang always had an inexplicable sense of indebtedness to the people who helped him, and when he thought of what a price this woman had paid for helping him out of the water before, Shi Liang was a little reluctant to lie: "Sister, my name is Shi Liang." I am... I don't know what to say. ”

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, those damn killers are just heartbroken! Now he doesn't even spare a child, he's doing evil, cough! Cough! Cough! ”

Unexpectedly, this woman's eyes instantly warmed, and she didn't care at all about the hesitation hidden in Shi Liang's words, and suddenly she seemed to be happy and angry, her face was strange and distorted, and she couldn't cry or laugh, but because of her lack of qi and blood, she parted for a while, and coughed non-stop.

"Sister, are you okay?" Shi Liang stepped forward a few steps, wanting to support the old woman who was a little unsteady.

"Ahem. Cough. Cough... Shi Liang is right, my sister is fine. The withered woman gently rubbed the head of the 'child' beside her, "Don't be afraid, you will stay here with my sister in the future, by the way, I have an apricot character in my name, you can call me Sister Xing." ”

The woman didn't tell Shi Liang her full name, but she didn't push Shi Liang's support, and with the help of this 'child', she stood up tremblingly: "Sister Xing, I don't have much ability, I can't take you out of this pickled place, but I can finally let you have no shortage of food and drink, and come with me." ”
