Where did these fireflies go?

Su Mai was puzzled for a while, but he couldn't figure it out, so he had to lie down in place, and only after confirming that the firefly was all gone, did he slowly crawl out.

However, to his surprise, when he touched the peach, the original sparkling peach was long gone, and in its place was a shriveled and somewhat stiff peach-shaped fruit, but it was many times smaller before, and it looked not far from the ordinary fruit.

And those shadow fireflies have long since disappeared.

Su Mai froze, then looked around again, and saw that there was no movement, so he cautiously summoned a fireball and looked ahead.

In the eye, the branches are horizontally oblique, the dense leaves are full, and further in, there is a thick darkness, but the glowworm can no longer find a trace.

Su Mai looked carefully for a long time, but still found nothing, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, could this thing still disappear out of thin air?

However, when he stroked the thick bark with his hand, there was a faint hint of strangeness.

No matter how powerful this firefly is, it is just some living creatures underground, and naturally it is impossible to escape, and most of the problem lies in this branch.

Then he tore open a thick layer of bark, and when the fire came closer, he found that under the bark, there was a simple imprint leading to the depths of the torso.

"Could it be that this insect crawled out from under the bark of these trees?" Su Mai looked at it for a moment, quite puzzled.

In order to confirm what he thought, he followed the branch all the way over, the bark of the ancient peach tree was very smooth, although after thousands of years, it was thicker and thicker than ordinary trees, but it was not difficult to tear hard.

After nearly half an hour like this, Su Maifang found the side of the trunk, only to see the marks of the firefly crawling, all the way inside, but it led to the trunk of the ancient peach tree.

Su Mai made the fire bigger, and then simply made a torch, lit it, and looked at the tiny wormholes for a long time.

The entrance to the cave was the size of a thumb, and it looked dark and dreary, and there was nothing like tree debris or anything like that, so it must have been around for a long time, not recently.

Su Mai had thought that the insect would crawl all the way to the treetops under the bark of the tree, and he had wanted to say, if that was the case, why not fly out of the stone wall at the entrance to the water, wouldn't it be much easier?

However, now it seems that this is not the case, this sky is full of fireflies, I am afraid that most of them are gushing out of the trunk, that is to say, the heart of this ancient peach tree is empty.

Since it is empty, there is a way out, at least, to the bottom of the ground where the fireflies live, and maybe there will be a way out.

It's just that even if the heart of the tree is empty, in the face of such a huge trunk, it is impossible for him to break through the tree, and with his cultivation, it is impossible to penetrate the body of the tree several feet thick.

Su Mai raised his sword and knocked it, only to hear a dull echo, as if knocking on a thick wall, the thing in his hand, blunt and without a blade, although it has the shape of a sword, but there is no sharp sword, it is a hard blow, in fact, it is not much different from a wooden stick beating.

If you have Miss Lu's Tianyuan Sword, you may be able to give it a try, of course, you have to have her cultivation!

Su Mai was silent for a long time, and suddenly thought of Lu Yunxi, remembering that in the Silkworm Mountain, in order to force Qian Jizi to appear, like a god descending, she broke the paddy field with a sword A gap several zhang deep, although this ancient tree is big, if she cultivates, it should not be difficult to dig a hole.

It's just that as a precious disciple of the Nanting Sect, at this moment, I am afraid that he is already proud of the spring breeze and has gained a lot.

Since he couldn't break the tree and go, Su Mai naturally had no intention of searching upwards, and after thinking for a while, he knew

No matter how much action the Tao takes tonight, it won't help, so it's better to rest early and wait for the dawn to make plans.

Thinking of this, Su Mai immediately turned around and crawled towards the tree house at his feet.

Knowing the purpose, it was much faster to go down, and Su Mai naturally climbed into the tree house, and lay down in the dry thatch, and in less than a moment, his stomach barked out a little untimely.

He hadn't eaten since he had eaten the pheasant in the daytime, and had been busy finding his way before, so he didn't care, but now he suddenly calmed down, and this hunger came with it.

In this tree house, there is naturally nothing to eat, Su Mai had no choice but to take a deep breath, sit cross-legged, and carry the magic of Tiansuizi.

Countless starving nights, Su Mai relied on it to survive the long night, when the familiar warm current once again flowed through the body, a feeling of fullness welled up in his abdomen, and soon, the hunger was swept away, like a full meal, and the spirit was much better.

"Listen to the true words, the old man's method of keeping out the cold, I am afraid that it is also an unusual technique, but I don't know why, resulting in the dantian can not store qi, it stands to reason that although the old man is grotesque, but there is no reason to harm me!"

Su Mai felt the magic of this technique, but on the other hand, he complained a little, if he hadn't practiced this technique before, maybe his Void Cloud Technique would have achieved a little success, even if he was able to do it, it was not impossible.

Naturally, if he practiced the Void Cloud Technique step by step like an ordinary disciple, then it would be impossible for him to miss the fire of He Shiyuan, and then this series of encounters after that, perhaps, would all be different!

"The world is like chess, and the moves are connected, even if the old man is known as a half-immortal, I'm afraid that I won't be able to have the difficulty I have now!" Su Mai sighed, and then smiled bitterly, but skipped the matter.

Rather than dwelling on it, it is better to think about how to escape, which is the right way.

Su Mai is not a person who drags mud and water, so although he is a little emotional at the moment, he will not hurt himself and pity himself, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think more, if he has the opportunity to see the old man in the future, he will have a lot of time to seek justice from him.

The surroundings were quiet, and the night was dark overhead, and the trunk of the tree was shaded by the thick branches and leaves of the ancient peach tree, so there was no night wind blowing in, and Su Mai lay under the floor, feeling very comfortable, at least compared to the stone wall under the tree, this place could still be regarded as a place to stay.

If there are no monsters hiding in this tree, you can sleep with peace of mind.

Su Mai had nothing to do, lying on his back, occasionally listening to the movement outside, but after an hour, he fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept, but when Su Mai turned around in a groggy state, his arm flipped over, but he pressed against a soft object.

At first, half-asleep and half-awake, Su Mai didn't care, but after a while, when he felt a cold neck, he subconsciously jumped up, and when he looked back, he saw a vague black shadow, squatting where he was lying before.

With a flip of his palm, a ball of fire immediately flashed in mid-air, Su Mai leaned over slightly, and looked at it, but it was a thin old man with unkempt hair and a dirty face, looking at him with a smile.

"......?" The strange scene in front of him made Su Mai not react for a while, he looked at the man fixedly, and forgot to ask.

He had been in this place for two days, and although he did not say that he knew it well, he had inspected it several times as far as he could reach, and that there was no human habitation in the valley and wasteland, and there was not even any trace of human activity.

And on this ancient peach tree, there is no other special place except this tree house.

"He's it

The owner of this treehouse?"

Su Mai reacted suddenly, and then doubts suddenly rose.

Where did this man come from?

His mind was racing, Su Mai was both surprised and delighted, since there was someone, it meant that there was a possibility of going out, but this person, looking like it, did not seem to be ordinary.

Su Mai stood stunned for a long time, and the man only looked at him fixedly, but did not speak.

"Senpai!"

By the time Su Mai reacted, the man had already stood up and was directly in front of Su Mai, Su Mai hurriedly bowed his hand and asked respectfully.

"Who are you?" the man asked, blankly.

"Senior Su Mai, who is the senior?" Su Mai replied and asked rhetorically.

"Who is the senior, why are you here?" the man replied inexplicably.

When Su Mai heard this, he tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, and secretly felt that something was wrong.

This old man, most of the time, has some problems with his head!

"I climbed up from under the tree, how did you get here?" Su Mai thought for a moment, then replied.

"Here, it's mine!" the man glared at Su Mai, a bit of a threat.

"That's right, here, it's indeed yours!" Su Mai was afraid of annoying him, so he hurriedly stepped aside and replied with a smile.

"What are you doing?" the man asked.

"I'm ......!"

Sumaila lengthened his voice, thought for a while, but suddenly replied, "I'm here to catch bugs!"

"Shadow Firefly!" the man seemed to know what Su Mai was referring to, grabbed a messy hair, and slowly replied with four words.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Mai was quite surprised when he heard this, since this old man knew about the Shadow Firefly, it seemed that he should not be crazy.

"You, why are you catching them?" the man took a step forward and looked at Su Mai fixedly, his eyes suddenly shining a little.

"Oh, I'm not trying to arrest them!" Seeing this, Su Mai faintly felt a little surprised, it seemed that this old man seemed to have something to do with the Ying Firefly.

Therefore, when he heard this, he waved his hand hurriedly, and then said hurriedly: "I saw that they were very wonderful, so I climbed up to take a look!"

"Oh!" the man didn't seem to care, and then he lay down on the ground on his own, as if he were about to sleep.

Su Mai was shocked in his heart, he finally saw a living person, so naturally he couldn't stop there, even if this person looked a little abnormal, but right now, it was his only remaining hope.

"Hey, senior!" Su Mai hurriedly squatted down, pulled the sleeve of the old man's coat, and asked urgently.

"What to do?"

The man seemed very upset, cocked his beard, and glared at Su Mai.

"Dare to ask seniors, how to get out of here?" Su Mai hurriedly replied.

"What are you doing with leaving?" the man asked with a frown, a little averse.

"I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry to leave, and I ask my seniors for advice!"

"I don't know!" the man replied dryly.

Su Mai thought to himself, this person doesn't seem to have a clear mind, if you ask him directly, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to ask the clue, so I can only guide the side to understand.

"Senior, do you know where that Shadow Firefly came from?"

"In the hole!"

"In which hole?"

"A hole is a hole!"

When Su Mai heard this, he suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, but he knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he took a deep breath, then eased up, and asked with a smile: "I also want to go to the cave, how can I get there?"

"Crawl!" replied the man with a blank face.
