33. Ice Crystal Cave
"So I'm thinking about one thing, my sister went there to earn silver coins, right? But if we earn enough silver in advance, we can redeem her. ”
"But where do we have so many silver coins, and even if we find ice crystals, aren't they only 200 silver coins? And as you yourself said, the probability of a drop is slim to none. Huang Junming asked.
"Originally, it was like this, but yesterday Sun Zhi told me that he had discovered cryolite ore and found some traces of human beings, but unfortunately, he wanted to swallow it alone, so he came back injured."
"And how do you know?"
"I just asked casually, haha, probably because he thinks I won't grab ice crystals with him, right?"
"But his state is obviously frightened, and we can't ask about the whereabouts of the cryolite, right?"
"Well, I think he saw something, or was attacked by a monster, and was scared to the point of insanity." Qi Xin explained, "Anyway, there is only one way at present, and you also want your sister to come back soon, right?" ”
"Yes, but I can't go out now, the lord looks at me every day, and he sends Xiaonuo to guard my door, and the robot at the door will warn me when he sees me"
"It's okay, it's good to solve it"
"Who's going to solve it?"
"Me, I feel kind when I see my brother and sister. You are like your own brothers and sisters, and I can't bear to let you separate. So I'll help you."
"Okay, so when are we leaving?"
"It's better to hurry, now the lord must be in Sun Zhi's room, Xiao Nuo is also there, go now, it's the right time, I'll go and lure away the robot at the door, and you will come down in 5 minutes."
Seeing that Huang Junming was a little hesitant, Qi Xin added another sentence:
"There's only one chance, and if you miss it, you'll probably be waiting for your sister's corpse."
"Good! I'll go with you! ”
Zisin smiled and walked out of the doorway.
When Huang Junming went down, he found that the robot had fallen to the ground.
He didn't hesitate any longer, took a few breads and fruits from the table, put them in his pocket, and walked out.
The two left the village and walked eastward, for it was late at night and it was pitch black all around, and Zisin walked ahead with torches.
The next place to go is a makeshift shelter.
They carefully observed their surroundings so as not to encounter the monsters, and walked like this for about half an hour, until they finally arrived at a large tent made of linen cloth.
The tent was supported by wood on all sides, and it was large enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people at the same time, and there were also a lot of wooden carts, wooden bowls, and other things.
"Did you prepare these?" Huang Junming asked.
"It's not that these are already there, they are left by the previous people."
"Former people? Has anyone ever been here? No, there should be no one else but us? ”
"I don't know about this, I'll have to ask the lord, maybe he knows."
"Hmph" Huang Junming found a clean place and sat down dissatisfied.
Zisin walked around, found a lot of wood, threw them in the middle, and lit them with a torch, and the flame slowly rose to bring warmth.
"Let's stay here tonight for the time being, and then go find the cryolites tomorrow morning."
Huang Junming also agrees with him, not only is his vision impaired at night, but his movement is also inconvenient.
But camping in the wilderness was something he had never experienced before, and he inevitably panicked, so he proposed:
"Why don't we change the vigil, lest the monster come, and we won't be able to react immediately, huh...... One person kept watch for three hours, and it was almost dawn."
Qi Xin smiled:
"There's no clock here, how do you know it's three hours? It doesn't matter that monsters are afraid of fire, I light up all the torches around and surround us in the middle, monsters won't come close, trust me"
"Okay"
The two of them just lay down on the flat ground, which was wet and hard. Huang Junming couldn't sleep at all, on the one hand, the ground was so hard that his flesh hurt, and on the other hand, the previous experience of being attacked by the monster group left a shadow on his body and mind, and he was always a little apprehensive. It was a long time before he fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up the next day, he followed Qi Xin around with two panda eyes, looking for the entrance to the cave of the cryolite.
Whenever he encountered some monsters on the road, Huang Junming volunteered to fight them.
First, he has to overcome his fears and train himself.
Second, Qi Xin has already helped him a lot, and he can't cause trouble to others anymore.
They were busy for a few days, during the day, they went to find the entrance to the cave, made markers, killed monsters, and at night they returned to the tent to rest.
The food they had brought from Pal had long since been eaten, and they could only start eating some wild fruits, or roasting the monster's flesh and eating it.
Fortunately, there were bushes and dead branches nearby, and they did not lack materials to make a fire.
On the fifth day, there was still nothing, and both of them were lost.
Qi Xin also began to wonder if he had heard it wrong? There is no cryolite ore at all, it was Sun Zhihu who said, just when they were about to give up, they saw Huang Junming pointing to a big stone and saying:
"Look! Does it look like a hole? ”
When Qi Xin looked closely, he found that there was a huge rock protruding from the ground, the back of the rock was like an ordinary stone, but on the other side there was a black hole, and there were many messy footprints at the entrance of the cave.
"No wonder we haven't found anything in the past few days, I originally thought it was a cave in the mountain, but I didn't expect it to be a cave"
Huang Junming said with emotion.
"It should be here, you see, there are two flame platforms erected at the entrance of the cave, which look like they are built by people, and they should be to block monsters in the wild from entering the cave."
Huang Junming proposed to go in alone and let Qi Xin stay outside, he was afraid that there would be an ambush inside, so as not to cause Qi Xin to be seriously injured like Sun Zhi, but he was refused:
"Let's go in together, so that we can take care of each other."
So, the two walked in one after the other, only to find that there is a hole inside, the entrance of the cave is still put two flame platforms, the light is bright, the road looks flat, you can see some deep and shallow rut marks when you look closely, there are a lot of white stone pillars in the cave, there are many small holes in the stone pillars, and then look inside is a darkness.
The two of them each took a torch and walked slowly against the rock wall.
The surroundings are very close, and occasionally you can hear a strange "creaking" sound, like the sound of grinding teeth.
They dared to go inside, and after a long time, they did not find any trace of cryolite, there were a lot of blood stains on the ground, and it was obvious that they had recently experienced a battle, but strangely, there were no corpses.
Huang Junming wanted to go back and discuss with Qi Xin, only to hear Qi Xin shouting:
"Get out of the way! ....... behind you."
He looked back and saw a large mouth coming at his neck.
This is a crimson monster with two horns, triangular eyes, no nose, only two thumb-sized nostrils panting, and below is the mouth bigger than Huang Junming's head.
Huang Junming was so frightened that he sat on the ground.
Qi Xin hurriedly cast a spell to freeze the monster, and under a few blows from the magic ball, the monster fell to the ground, and he quickly pulled up Huang Junming:
"Brother, are you okay?"
"What a hammer! I'm going to be scared to death, how can there be such a thing? ”
"This is called a cave ditch, you see it has a long barb on the back of its head, they are monsters that like to live in groups, they usually don't go to the wild, plus this cave is put inside and outside the flame platform, they are afraid of the temperature of the flame, naturally they will not leave this cave."
