Chapter 123: See You Again

With a "Peng", the chubby trap marmot Asha rushed out of the earth and rocks blocking the secret passage, and then a large number of stones and mud that had been twisted into fine sand poured out of the hole, leaving a hole that could pass just enough to pass through one person.

Shi Cheng and the three of them climbed out of the hole, and after looking at the structure of the surrounding walls, Shi Cheng became more and more convinced that they had come to the core of the underground palace, because both the quality of the wall tiles and the seismic design of the secret passage were a grade higher than the previous secret passage.

In addition, Shi Cheng and Tie Mian also clearly felt that in the depths of the secret passage in front of them, there was a strange aura that was rich and full of vitality floating and flowing.

"Let's go, we have to take the risk and move on, the aura ahead is not simple, I suspect that the young children who were captured by the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, and even the place where the forbidden area of the strange treasure sleeps, is at the end of this secret passage." Shi Cheng guessed and took the lead in front.

Now, the context of many things has also become clear, the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce is not only aware of the various information in the forbidden area, they even already know the specific location of the strange treasure, the monks who are searching the ground of the forbidden area at this moment will not think that the treasure they are bothering to find has already been taken preemptively.

The three of them continued to walk towards the depths of the secret passage, and after walking for a long time, a thin white mist suddenly appeared in the surrounding air, which made Shi Cheng and Tie Mian both vigilant, but what made the two of them feel strange was that these mist wandering in the secret passage were actually not poisonous, and even after taking a sip, they would feel energetic and regain their physical strength.

But after all, the three of them were in the hearts of the enemy at the moment, and Shi Cheng didn't dare to be careless about this strange mist, and hurriedly took out the anti-poison pill and wet cloth to distribute to himself and his companions.

The fog began to thicken, and Shi Cheng's nerves tightened a little, and just when the three of them came to a corner, the surrounding fog suddenly became disordered, and then, Shi Cheng and Tie Mian clearly felt that something was rushing towards them from the front.

"Be careful!" Shi Cheng shouted softly, he listened to the sound and identified his position, his body was short, and he avoided the unknown object rushing in front of him.

Tie Mian also hurriedly pulled Wu Neng to lean over to dodge, and after the unknown object passed by the three of them, he did not turn back, but ran towards the place where Shi Cheng and the three of them came from, like refugees fleeing from the disaster.

"What was that just now?" Wu Neng glanced around a few times before standing up, feeling palpitations.

"I don't know, it seems to be a glowing green object." Iron Mask said, his right hand still vigilantly clenching the long sword in his hand.

Shi Cheng frowned, thinking that there was a high possibility that the children who had been captured by the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce were imprisoned in front of him, but he still didn't pursue the unknown object in the end, "Let's move on first, everyone be cautious, I think soon we will figure out all their plots in the forbidden area." ”

The three of them continued to rush forward, this time they didn't encounter any more problems on the way, and even the mysterious white mist in the secret passage became thinner and thinner, and soon, the front of Shi Cheng and the three suddenly opened up, and a large-scale underground palace appeared in front of them.

At the moment when they first stepped into the underground palace, Shi Cheng, Wu Neng and Tie Mian only felt that their bodies were cold from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

The huge and strange altar in the center of the underground palace easily attracted everyone's attention, but at this moment the altar had lost the quiet and mysterious atmosphere before the sacrifice ceremony, the altar made of bricks and stones had been torn apart, the evil patterns engraved on it were also fragmented, and the wooden whiskers surrounding the altar had completely withered, as if all the essence had been sucked up by some mysterious existence. The most striking scene was the scene on the altar, where countless children were lying on their backs or lying on the cold masonry. The torn altar was dripping with blood, and about a third of the children's bodies were shattered and completely cold.

Wu Neng looked at the tragic situation on the altar, only to feel that his whole body was cold, and his head was roaring continuously, as if he had been hit with a heavy hammer in the back of his head, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat was like a ball of cotton cloth, and he could only let out a few dry and hoarse, muffled snorts that changed tone.

"We ...... It's late. Iron Face said in a deep voice.

Shi Cheng's face was expressionless, he slowly walked to the nearest child, squatted down and probed his snort, then measured his pulse, his heart was silent, he turned back and shook his head at the two companions, and said: "The snort is still there, but the heart has been exhausted, and there is no way to return to the sky." ”

Shi Cheng and the three of them were still unwilling, and checked a few children who were also in a coma, but all of them were like this, either they had died of exhaustion, and those who still had their breath not dead were all heart failure, and there was no way to treat them.

Shi Cheng knelt on one knee, hammered his left fist on the ground, and smashed the altar out of a deep pit, since he came out of the mountain, he had never had such a frustration in his heart, he had no cultivation, but he couldn't save anyone he wanted to save.

Wu Neng's low voice came from behind him, "Lao Shi, Lao Tie, look, this kid ...... It was like the child who brought us food every morning! ”

"What ......"

Shi Cheng and Tie Mian walked quickly to Wu Neng's side, and sure enough, they saw little Alido's thin little face with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Shi Cheng took a deep breath, squatted down, and gently lifted the little girl's thin body like a dead leaf, while gently patting her back, and transferring a very small amount of true qi into Alido's body. Shi Cheng called out softly in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Alido...... Wake up......"

After a few moments, the little girl's eyelashes finally moved, and her godless eyes opened slightly.

"Uncle ......" The moment he saw Shi Cheng, tears overflowed from the corners of the little guy's eyes again, and the strength that he had been pretending to be after being betrayed by his parents was gone at this moment, "My ...... Dad...... Grandma...... Don't want me anymore...... Woohoo......"

"Alido...... Don't be afraid...... Uncle has come to your rescue. Shi Cheng lowered his head, and the bangs on his forehead drooped slightly, covering his eyes, "Hold on...... Don't sleep just yet...... Is there anything you'd like to eat...... Uncle has candy in his pocket...... Very sweet. ”

"Want to eat...... The lamb bun soup that my uncle said...... Alido ...... It's so cold......" After insisting on saying two words, the little girl's voice weakened again, and her empty eyes gradually closed.

……

When Alido came to deliver food before, he had heard Shi Cheng tell a lot of interesting stories about the North and West Continent when he was chatting with Shi Cheng, one of which was the famous mutton bun soup in Shi Cheng's hometown, made of mutton, mutton soup and pasta, accompanied by chopped green onions, garlic slices, white vinegar and other seasonings, which were extremely delicious.

Alido has never seen sheep bun soup, she grew up in a tropical country, she naturally doesn't know what the real cold is, this life has only left her own small footprints in the vegetable and fruit shop and Kenbin King City inside and outside Alido just thinks that Shi Cheng's food is delicious, Shi Cheng's mouth of the heavy snow day is very wonderful.

It was only when it was time to say goodbye to this world that Alido realized for the first time what the coldness in Shi Cheng's mouth was.

……

"Uncle...... It's so cold......"

"Alido...... Pull yourself together......! ”

"It's cold...... Alido ...... So homesick......"

The little girl's faint voice was completely gone, like a fire in the middle of the night when a cold wind howled.
