It's no ordinary cave at all, it's more like the entrails of a living thing, the surface of the rock face has fallen off, and the black stones inside are constantly churning...... At a certain moment, Hao Tianshuo thought that he had entered the abyssal mouth of the monster.

Shi Youqing, who was standing at the front, calmly looked at everything around him.

Behind was Guo Yalan, who slid down next, glancing around, looking vigilant.

"This ...... What is it? Hao Tianshuo stood up and looked away with nausea.

"It's a nest." The young teacher did not squint, and continued to walk forward, "Follow me." ”

Hao Tianshuo felt some indescribable restlessness in his heart, sensing that it was related to those black stones, trying to ignore the things on the wall and speeding up his pace.

While walking, his head ached, but every time he got closer to Shi Youqing, the uncomfortable feeling decreased, and after a while, he almost walked next to the young man.

Shi Youqing didn't care about his approach, only glanced at him with his spare eyes, walked through the low passage, and continued to move forward.

Hao Tianshuo's face was flushed, and he only dared to look at his silhouette.

During this period, he was also thinking about what kind of place this was, so he remembered that Shi Youqing and Zong Jinyuan had climbed out of the coffin earlier...... He remembered that the black stone at the bottom of the coffin was also like this, and couldn't help asking, "This is the secret passage from before?" ”

Shi Youqing nodded, and at this time they finally reached the end of the dark passage, Hao Tianshuo thought that he would go back to the wooden house directly like last time, but unexpectedly, the other party turned around and reached out to touch the rolling rock wall.

Hao Tianshuo was stunned, and the next moment, he clearly saw the eyes on the back of the other party's hand and blinked!

"Green ......"

As soon as he spoke, a particularly shrill sound sounded, and then the rock wall opened on both sides like a door.

At the same time, a fishy smell came to my face.

Guo Yalan sniffed with discomfort and said, "This is the well?!" ”

Shi Youqing stepped forward: "Well, it's the bottom of the well." ”

Hao Tianshuo was dumbfounded, and finally came back to his senses, he remembered the words of the monster before, and hurriedly stepped forward: "You, you really fell into the well?" ”

Shi Youqing didn't answer, he raised his hand and touched the rock wall again, the surrounding light was dim, Hao Tianshuo only heard a sound similar to the collision of stones, and soon, the oil lamp on the wall lit up.

Shi Youqing continued to walk forward, and the environment here was obviously much more humid than the dark passage at the beginning.

When he walked to a circular ground, Shi Youqing stopped.

Hao Tianshuo had a stomach full of questions, but before he could ask, he was frightened by a black stone statue above him, and his mind went blank.

At this time, Shi Youqing lit an oil lamp on the wall again.

In the dim light, the statue was embedded in the air of the wall, and it was so tall that it was carved with great precision...... For a moment, Hao Tianshuo felt that he was glared at by the statue.

The lower body of the statue resembles a twisted mass of tree roots, and the upper half of the statue is humanoid, with long hair, no eyes, and skin covered in scales.

Although the whole is weird, anything can appear in the dark world, which is naturally not the real reason why Hao Tianshuo was frightened.

"Why...... Why is it exactly the same as Qingqingge?! Hao Tianshuo took a step back, only to feel that his brain was about to explode, "What the hell is this...... What's going on? ”

Guo Yalan looked at Shi Youqing in silence.

Hao Tianshuo muttered to himself: "I know, they are imitating again!" They ......"

"Let's start with that well," Shi Youqing interrupted him and said calmly, "Do you remember Lin Yong and Zheng Ping?" ”

Lin Yong? Isn't that the player who has gone crazy? Zheng Ping, it is said that he died in the well to save Lin Yong......

As for the role of that well, Hao Tianshuo heard the other party say when Zong Jinyuan was provoked to madness by the impostor, that if you go into that well alone, you will definitely die! There is a good chance that the two of them will survive.

But Shi Youqing was really only one person at that time......

Hao Tianshuo was in a trance, and he didn't know what terrible picture he thought, and his vision was blurred.

But the young man in front of him still said in that quiet tone: "If the player wants to live from that well, he can do it alone." However, because those who went down alone died, and Lin Yong's two people survived, everyone subconsciously thought that the rule of the well was that one person died, and two people lived. ”

Hao Tianshuo was stunned for a moment, and asked in a dumb voice: "Isn't that so?" ”

Shi Youqing only showed a smile at this time: "You look up again." ”

Hao Tianshuo and Guo Yalan raised their heads at the same time, and after a while, he said in shock: "The top of the statue is ...... Shaking it?! ”

Shi Youqing: "That's not a top, it's a seesaw." ”

“…… Seesaw? ”

"You guys must have played in kindergarten when you were kids, right?" Shi Youqing lowered his eyes, and he used his hands to simulate the seesaw shaking from side to side when the force was uneven, "If there is a monster that needs nutrients under the seesaw, then once the seesaw cannot maintain balance, the person will fall down the inclined side and enter the monster's mouth." The area of the well is not large, and if two people fall into it at the same time, there is a high probability that they will step on both sides of the seesaw respectively, so that they will not fall under the board in an instant...... So, now we have to talk about how Lin Yong went back alive. ”

Hao Tianshuo looked at him, almost holding his breath.

"At first, I saw that he couldn't keep his balance when he walked, and he repeated the swimming movement with his hands, and when I thought of him escaping in the well, I naturally thought that he had been in the well for a while, in order not to drown, and kept swimming posture...... But I forgot at the time that when I fell into that small well, most people would cling to the rock wall and climb up, or just keep it from being flooded, right? ”

Guo Yalan: "Yes. ”

"The most important thing is that people don't jump into a well full of blood for no reason, and Lin Yong has always thought that I am an internal ghost, and later suspected that Zheng Ping wanted to take revenge on him, which shows that he is extremely vigilant, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to enter the well. The wellhead of that well is not flat, and there is basically no possibility of stepping into the air. So—Lin Yong was forced to enter the well, or someone pushed him down from behind, either way, if I were the one who harmed him, I would have guarded the mouth of the well until he was completely dead, or I would have covered the manhole and not give him a chance to survive. Even if he can swim below, his physical strength will be exhausted sooner or later, how can he go back alive? ”

Hao Tianshuo looked at him in surprise.

"So, Lin Yong didn't crawl out of the well at all," Shi Youqing said, "that means that in the space between the water and the seesaw, there is a waterway leading to the sea, and that well is adjacent to the sea, if he has good water quality, it is enough to swim to the sea and escape completely." ”

"If the monster uses that well to eat people, why do you want to make a waterway to connect to the sea?" Hao Tianshuo subconsciously asked this question, and after asking, looking at the young man's eyes, he suddenly remembered the words of those NPCs at the beginning, and suddenly understood, "It's for ...... Eat more people! ”

Shi Youqing nodded and said, "These people who believe in gods will throw all their dead relatives into the sea, and in the end, all the corpses in the sea will flow into that well and become nourishment for monsters." ”

"No wonder there are so many disgusting ...... in it," Hao Tianshuo couldn't go on, and looked at him again, "So you discovered the principle of the seesaw in advance, controlled the balance in the middle, and finally escaped from the waterway?" ”

If so, he couldn't imagine how much the other party had suffered in the process......

Then...... He shouldn't have left at all!

"No," Shi Youqing said in surprise, "I did plan to do that before I fell...... But as I kept my balance ready to go into the waterway, I ran out of energy. ”

Hao Tianshuo looked at him blankly, as if he was expecting what the other party would say next, and his heart trembled.

Shi Youqing looked at the statue again, and wrinkled his eyebrows in disgust: "In reality, there can only be one queen bee in a bee colony, and once the queen is lost, the worker bees will create a rush to build a king platform to cultivate a new queen bee...... Don't you think this place is like a bee colony? ”

"Really? So here...... Who is Queen Bee? Hao Tianshuo forcibly ignored the weirdness, "Are we going to find out that thing?" Black can't be on that thing, right? As he spoke, his gaze swept around.

Obviously, this is the space at the bottom of the well, but until now, I haven't seen any monsters, although those black stones are also strange...... I always feel like it's too safe here.

What about the man-eating monster?

Thinking like this, Hao Tianshuo suddenly couldn't move.

In the empty cavern, footsteps sounded softly.

His eyes widened, and he looked in disbelief at the source of the force that was suppressing him—Shi Youqing.

How could it be......

In the dark light, the straight and slender figure walked under the statue step by step, looking up, the silhouette was like a smooth line, extremely eye-catching.

The young man spoke in an ordinary tone and continued to talk about the fall into the well: "I was very hungry and tired, and I had no strength...... When I woke up, I found that I had eaten the new king they were bringinging. ”

“……”

"So—I should be the 'queen bee' now."

Qiao Mingcheng looked at the food offering in front of him with despair.

Zong Jinyuan has already returned, dragging that imposter with a disfigured one.

In the makeshift cave, there are eight bowls of rice at this time, and it stands to reason that six bowls are enough now - because Shi Youqing has an accident.

When he learned about this from the impostor, Qiao Mingcheng even felt dizzy for a second.

But the task still has to continue to be done, and when the meal is served, there is an extra bowl unconsciously served, but when he turned his head, Zong Jinyuan also served an extra bowl.

Zong Jinyuan's state was very terrifying, Qiao Mingcheng didn't dare to talk to him, so he had to stare at the food in front of him.

The impostor may have been abused and honest, and he stopped making trouble, just looked down at the ground, looking like a walking corpse.

Qiao Mingcheng and Xia Yue ate in silence, but Zong Jinyuan didn't move his chopsticks, staring at the imposter on the ground with a gloomy face, An Dong knew that the monster was useful, and he was afraid that he would kill the other party in a fit of rage, so he deliberately sat in the position between them.

The corners of Zong Jinyuan's eyes were blood-red, and his ghostly face was still staring in the direction of the other party.

Andong thought that he was still resentful of the monster for playing him, and he was always on the lookout for this person - some players would do anything once they lost their minds.

However, a moment later, he heard Zong Jinyuan say in a very restrained tone, "Is he still alive?" ”

An Dong looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Zong Jinyuan immediately sank his face, got up and went out for a spin, and soon came back, grabbed the imposter and left.

"You can't ......"

"I won't kill him! I don't care about you! ”

A few people didn't dare to stop them, and when they left completely, Qiao Mingcheng asked, "He, what is he going to do?" ”

An Dong shook his head: "The direction he went was the wooden house...... I don't know. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and soon they were silent again.

The news of Shi Youqing's accident weighed on their hearts like a boulder, and Hao Tianshuo and Guo Yalan, who went to look for Shi Youqing, never came back, Qiao Mingcheng originally maintained a normal appearance, but when he was packing up the meal, he unexpectedly found that Xia Yue's hands were shaking.

The girls who had been behaving normally and even more optimistically in front of them could no longer hide their fears.

Qiao Mingcheng didn't see it, don't look over, at this time, comfort has no effect at all.

For Xia Yue, now it is not only Shi Youqing who is acting together that has an accident, but even teammate Guo Yalan and Hao Tianshuo in the first room are also missing, and now they don't even see the shadow of black chess, in this case, it is impossible for anyone not to despair.

After a while, when Xia Yue was completely relieved, Qiao Mingcheng spoke: "Or, let's go ask that kid again, right?" He's a local, so he might be able to provide some clues. ”

An Dong also said in a low voice: "Ask other players on the way to see if there is any news of them...... It can't all be wrong. ”

Xia Yue nodded hurriedly, turned around and was about to get water, when a strong wind suddenly blew at the entrance of the cave, and she almost fell.

The wind was very strong, and the simple wooden door made last night fell directly to the ground with a "bang", and fell apart in a blink of an eye, and the items in the cave were also blown to pieces, and the noise of the branches beating wildly soon sounded outside, and An Dong and Qiao Mingcheng saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly went in to hide from the wind.

The three of them nested in the corner and waited for the gust of wind to pass.

"Why is it so windy all of a sudden......"

"I don't know!" The wind was too loud, Qiao Mingcheng had no choice but to shout and speak, "There is no warning at all......

"Wait, it's just the weather......"

"You ......," Andong looked at the ground and suddenly said, "Don't you feel some tremors on the ground?" ”

When Qiao Mingcheng and Xia Yue heard this, they lowered their heads stiffly.
