Chapter 54: Childhood Memories
"Okay, then it's settled, you set a trap outside, and then I'll go down and lure the monster out."
Jiang Lu said, and began to pull the vines and weave ropes.
Seeing this, the ghost-faced fox asked, "What are you doing here?" I don't need any of these traps. ”
But Jiang Lu didn't stop what he was doing, just glanced at him, and then explained: "This is used to tie it to me, if I encounter danger and don't have time to run out, you can pull me up." ”
"Huh? Oh. The ghost-faced fox suddenly realized: "It's still thoughtful." ”
Then I heard Jiang Lu continue: "You have to hurry, that's how I died when I was a child." ”
"Okay." Ghost-faced Fox nodded at first, then realized something: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about?" ”
Jiang Lu tied the rope around his waist and said with emotion: "I had a tortuous childhood, but fortunately, I fell in love with sports. ”
"It's nothing to do with twists and turns..."
"Precipitation, and then see you at the top!"
“......”
"Why are you stunned?" Jiang Lu pointed to the cave: "Set up a trap." ”
Ten minutes later.
Jiang Lu pointed to the inconspicuous gelatinous object on the ground and questioned, "What are you doing with so many glutinous, soft and sticky and drawn Juezi glue?" ”
Unable to grasp the true meaning of this, the ghost-faced fox explained seriously: "This is not glue, but a strongly corrosive venom, and due to the current situation, it is impossible to use a trap that is too powerful, this is the most suitable option." ”
"Zun Du fake 0.o?"
Seeing that Jiang Lu didn't seem to believe in the effect of the venom, the ghost-faced fox didn't defend it, and directly picked up a stone and threw it in.
In just an instant, the stone was melted inside.
"Huh."
Jiang Lu exclaimed, excitedly picked up more stones, and threw them into them one by one.
"That's so interesting!"
"You can't go down anymore?!"
......
Jiang Lu held the rope in one hand and the re-lit oil lamp in the other, slowly groping his way down from the rock wall.
Soon, his feet were on the ground.
But this place was already almost ten meters away from the exit, but it was far from the deepest part of the cave.
He had only just come to the first gentle slope of relatively flat terrain, and two or three paces away from him, there was an irregular hole that was one man high and about a meter wide, and the angle suddenly increased, extending into the bottomless darkness.
This kind of environment is oppressive and easily frightening for others, but for Jiang Lu, it is like going home.
It's just that he's a little confused.
As a monster lair, why is the door so small?
However, this kind of terrain is actually an advantage, when you pull with the monsters for a while, relying on this narrow passage, you will not be besieged by monsters from different directions at the same time, you only need to focus on the monsters in front of you.
So Jiang Lu didn't think much about it, and plunged into the darkness.
Leaning on the oil lamp, he cautiously made his way down.
As he went deeper, the slope beneath his feet increased, and in the end, it was more of a slide than a walk.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and Jiang Lu came to the underground smoothly.
After walking through a relatively gentle road, Jiang Lu suddenly opened up in front of him.
It's a huge cave.
Jiang Lu shrank around the corner, revealing half of his body, and looked inside.
At the bottom are countless natural stone forests, and at the top of the cave are the intertwined roots of the tall trees from the outside, which penetrate the soil layer, take root here, and become entangled with each other, like weaving a dense net hanging at the top.
But the strange thing is that in the huge space, there is no sound, and there seems to be no living creatures at all.
Jiang Lu frowned: "What about the monster lair that you said was good?" Nothing. ”
Just as he was about to try to explore further, he suddenly felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the Heavenly Spirit Cover.
A cold gaze watched him out of nowhere.
Jiang Lu turned his head suddenly, but he didn't find anything except the passage where he came.
His face became a little unpleasant.
This gaze made him feel the suffocation of a gaze that was infinitely close to that of a traitor.
As if facing a great enemy, he slowly leaned into half of his body, carefully scanning everything in the cave.
But nothing was found.
Until he thought of something and slowly looked up.
I saw a huge cat's head hanging upside down above the entrance, looking at Jiang Lu with a curious and indifferent eye, like a child watching ants nesting, as if he would get tired of seeing it in the next second, and then kicked over the entire anthill.
"It's... It's..."
Jiang Lu stared at the body behind the cat's head in shock.
It was obviously not the body of a cat, but in front of Jiang Lu was the leg of a slender arthropod with eight legs, and only one claw, sharp and slender, buckled upside down on the stalactites of the rock wall, supporting it and hanging like this.
Like cats, more like spiders.
But after being shocked, Jiang Lu suddenly became excited.
He knew the creature.
This rare creature in the underworld that exists in the flesh and can change the size of the cat-headed spider at will is called the cat-cat worm, which comes from the dark group in the depths of hell, and is known as the rarest noble pet along with the three-headed dog of hell.
Jiang Lu raised cats and insects when he was a child, but unfortunately because the claws of cats and insects are very sharp, they will inevitably cause huge damage when crawling, so after the cat and cat insects scratched Jiang Lu's childhood friend to death, he could only take advantage of the time when his friend was resurrected to send his beloved pet away, pretending not to have a cat and cat insects.
Seeing this creature again now, Jiang Lu naturally felt extremely kind.
"It's actually a golden gradient!"
Jiang Lu smiled and stretched out his hand to pull the beard of the cat and the insect, and said dotingly: "Ouch, my little girl, who do you want to be cute?" ”
Click!
"Where's my finger?"
Jiang Lu retracted his right hand, which had only three fingers left, and looked at the missing thumb and index finger, a little confused.
At this time, he recalled the knowledge that the owner had given him when he went to the largest cat and insect house in the underworld when he was a child.
Wild cats and insects are one of the most dangerous demons in the underworld, and only those who have been tamed and raised in the cat and insect house can be raised as pets, and they must sign a contract to ensure that they do not harm their owners.
Jiang Lu swallowed his saliva, looked at the cat and cat worm that was slowly approaching him, chewing his fingers in his mouth, and suddenly became nervous.
He remembered that the shopkeeper seemed to have told him how to tame cats and insects, but when he was nervous, he couldn't think of anything.
"Bad! Collapse! Send! Finish! ”
But at this critical moment, the cat cat seemed to smell something, and his gaze slowly moved down from Jiang Lu's face.
"Huh?"
Jiang Lu, who didn't dare to move, was confused for a while, and then thought of something, and suddenly opened his mouth.
"I remember!"
......
At the same time, the ghost-faced fox, who was waiting outside the cave, suddenly noticed that the rope, which had not moved for a while, suddenly began to slide and tighten rapidly, and there was a pre-agreed signal from the other end for him to pull.
"Are you coming?"
The ghost-faced fox cheered up, grabbed the rope and began to pull hard.
But to his surprise, after only a short pull, the ghost-faced fox received a new signal to let him relax.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he did it out of trust in Jiang Lu.
However, he had just put some length when there was a pull signal from the other end.
Pull, put, pull, put...
The ghost-faced fox became more and more agitated and worried.
"What the hell are you doing?!!
