Chapter 566: Flame Cave Layer
"Second brother, what's wrong?" After starting from Heisong Village, the second brother Silver Fox looked dignified all the way, and behaved strangely, falling at the end of the team from time to time, stopping and looking at the way he came, with a look of heavy concern, seeing that the silver fox hung silently at the end of the team, Storm Bear turned back a few steps and asked.
"I had a holiday with that "crazy scar" before, and yesterday I saw that his expression was not good, and I was afraid that there would be trouble. Silver Fox said with a heavy heart.
Yesterday suddenly saw the "crazy scar", the silver fox was extremely shocked, the reason why he didn't have the last killer back then, was to see that the "crazy scar" had been seriously injured, and it was not long before he took it, and the relationship between the two was still on weekdays, so he couldn't do it for a while, so he let him fend for himself.
"Are you afraid that he will secretly follow us and make it bad?" Storm Bear didn't ask what grievances the silver fox had with the "crazy scar", and said with a solemn expression.
"Hmm!" Silver Fox nodded, "Mad Scar" must have hated him to the core.
"Second brother, don't worry, before you came back, my eldest brother and I were still afraid of them, but now that you are back, just rely on them, forgive them for not having the courage to dare to come to find trouble. Yan Leopard, the second leader of Yakou Village, Liu Yu and Xuanshan saw that the two were lagging behind, so they stopped and waited for the two.
"That being said, it's better to be careful, Dahl, you follow behind and hide to see if anyone is following us!" Even if the Mad Dog Club gang catches up, they won't be an opponent on their own side, but these people are outlaws, and Storm Bear thinks it's better to be on guard.
"Yes!" Dahl replied, an elite member of Yakou Village, who was extremely familiar with the underground cavern of "Fat Pig Ridge" and had been acting as a scout for the hunting party.
"If there is anything abnormal, immediately catch up and report it, and be careful yourself!" said the silver fox uneasily.
"Lord Silver Fox, don't worry!" Dahl replied confidently, he was the best scout for the hunting team, he was the one who searched and tracked the prey on weekdays, and if someone followed him with bad intentions, he would definitely find it.
"What happened?" Liu Yu couldn't help frowning lightly and asked, looking at this scene, combined with what he saw in the tavern yesterday, I am afraid that this trip will not be peaceful.
"It's nothing, keep a secret sentry so that you don't be followed. Fellow Daoist, let's continue on our way!" said Storm Bear with a laugh.
Then, everyone continued to hurry, still far from the Yan Cave layer, there was still a long way to go, and Dahl was hanging far behind the group, and soon he slowly lost his trace.
......
At the entrance of a narrow tunnel in the underground cave, Dahl hid in the shadow of a stone pile, staring at the narrow cave with bated breath, the stone wall of the cave was dotted with various faint luminescent lights, exhaling bright and dark, which were some special plants of fungi and mushrooms growing in the cave.
Dahl had been hanging far behind the caravan, and after several hours had passed, he had not found anything out of the ordinary, and when he reached the narrow junction between the cave and the mine, he stopped and hid behind the rocks to see if anyone was following them.
The grotto in front of it was not large, and there were only a few shrubs in the open area, which was obvious at a glance, and if someone secretly followed the hunting party, he would be the first to find it.
"Sand, sand!" A quarter of an hour later, there was a slight movement at the entrance, which alerted Dahl, who saw a lazy "mourning dog", sniffing and sniffing left and right in the grotto, and suddenly sped forward, pressing a stone rat that had escaped from the bush under him.
"Click, click!" With the crisp sound of bone cracking, a fat stone rat fell into the stomach of the mourning dog.
After resting on the bushes for a while, the mourning dog got up and shook its body, slowly left the grotto, and gradually disappeared into the dark mine.
Dahl has been hiding in the dark and watching quietly, the "mourning dog" is not uncommon in the underground grottoes, often preying on all kinds of rabbits, rats, mink small spirit beasts.
He also likes to eat carrion, and his body is filled with a disgusting smell, and this kind of mourning dog is hunted in the village, and the skin and meat are generally sold for spirit stones, and they are never eaten.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, seeing that there was no other movement, Dahl walked out of the stone pile, pasted a "magic talisman" on himself, and used his full strength to resist the wind, chasing in the direction of the hunting party, thinking that after waiting for so long, there was no abnormality, and the hunting team should not be followed.
Because the underground cave is like a labyrinth, and the spiritual consciousness in this place is disturbed by thick stone walls and various corners, it is extremely difficult to follow others.
It's okay for short distances, but once the distance is long, it's too difficult to catch up, and if you take a wrong fork in the road, you will lose all your efforts.
He had been waiting here for a full two quarters of an hour, and the hunting party had already gone away, and if anyone had followed him, he would have appeared a long time ago, otherwise he would not have thought of keeping up with the footsteps after being so far away.
You must know that the hunting team is not a straight mine, each mine has seven or eight forks, and there are forks in the forks, so it is not easy to follow them.
Soon after Dahl left, the mourning dog reappeared at the entrance of the cave with vigorous steps, sniffed the remaining scent in the air, and then chased after Dahl in the direction where he had left, like a ghost.
The group in Yakou Village traveled around the underground grotto for nearly two days, stopping to rest twice on the way.
During this period, the temperature in the grottoes and mines is getting higher and higher, the dense trees and landforms are gradually decreasing, and the wasteland landforms dominated by sparse bushes and rocks are the majority, and the lower you go, the more desolate it becomes.
Between some stone walls and crevices of the cave, red hot magma began to flow out, and the overflowing magma converged into a slow-flowing red "river", or piled up to the depression pond to form a magma fire pool, obviously everyone has arrived at the "Yan Cave Layer" of the underground cave.
"It's almost there!" everyone walked in the grotto like a spider's web for a long time, and came to a large grotto like a canyon, and the rock leopard walked in front and said excitedly.
"It's finally here!" said Xuanshanguchi dryly, after driving for most of the day in this hot, dry tunnel.
"Bear Head, you're here!" When the group reached the corner of the middle of the grotto, several people suddenly appeared from behind a pile of boulders.
"Are those two beasts still in the magma pool?" Storm Bear asked hurriedly.
"Still, the male snake went out a few times and dragged back a few "red-haired cave bears", and the female snake only swam out of the magma pool when it was for food. It turned out that a few people were the sentry guards left here in Yakou Village, monitoring the movements of the two "fire slurry pythons" from a distance.
There is a narrow hole behind the pile of rocks, and there is a small grotto in the hole, and at the bottom of this grotto there is a huge magma pool.
The hot magma bubbles upwards from time to time, and the pool occupies almost a quarter of the small grotto, turning the entire grotto into a natural furnace.
The stone wall above the magma pool has been scorched and cracked, and if you look closely, you can see from the cracked stone cracks one after another, you can see the crystals the size of a fist with a faint red mang, which are the fifth-order fire refining spirit material "Red Flame Crystal".
It's just that the stone wall above has been steamed by magma for many years, and the surface stone has condensed into gray-red, which is somewhat similar to the color of "Red Flame Crystal".
"Has anyone been here during this time?" Storm Bear then asked.
"When it came to a few groups of people passing by, they didn't notice anything unusual, and they all passed by in a hurry. Among the few people left here in Yakou Village, an old-looking man said.
"What are you waiting for, just go over now and slaughter these two beasts!" Xuanshan said with a huff.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoists, we've been on the road for so long, all the brothers are tired, let's rest for a while, let the brothers recover some physical strength and mana, and if there is a change, it's better to think about it in the long run!"
Storm Bear said soothingly, and then led everyone back a distance, away from the entrance of the cave, so as not to be smelled by the two "Magma Pythons" in the magma pool.
