Chapter 70: Little Hole
"Senior sister, where are we going?" asked Chan'er.
The day before yesterday, everything was arranged, and after Mu Xue'er said goodbye to Ye Xuan early this morning, she took Chan'er on the road, hoping to try her luck where to go, find something, and stay to make a thought, although she had been there before, but she returned empty-handed.
"Go up the mountain" Mu Xue'er said, without any extra words, and went towards the mountain.
Chan'er followed a little inexplicably, and she still didn't know what she, Senior Sister Xue'er, wanted to do
"Senior sister, what are we going to do, why are we going up the mountain," Chan'er said.
In fact, Chan'er is still very jealous, after all, it is very dangerous to go up the mountain at this time, and now that there is no Ye Xuan and Lin Yue with her, if she encounters someone or something, with the ability of her and Mu Xue'er, some tricky things cannot be settled.
"Remember, I said that there was a guy who saved me in a tree hole before. Mu Xue'er said, but now that feeling is much lighter than before.
"It seems that there is such a thing, senior sister, I know, we went up the mountain to have something to do with it. Chan'er said.
Mu Xue'er nodded, didn't say anything, the two continued to walk towards the Pregnant Spirit Mountain, and it didn't take long for them to come to the foot of the Pregnant Spirit Mountain.
The current Pregnant Spirit Mountain is still lush from a distance, but at the foot of the mountain, the former scene of green extension is no longer there, replaced by a scene of dryness and decay.
The two continued to walk along the road towards the Pregnant Spirit Mountain, this road was the road they took when they went down the mountain, and it was also the road that few people had ever known, because it was said that this road had a maze set up by the immortals.
"Senior sister, have you noticed that this place is much more decayed than when we went down the mountain" Chan'er said, the two stopped here to catch their breath, and Chan'er became interested in the dead tree in the interval.
She really didn't understand what was causing the plants here to be lifeless, and that there was a dead silence in large areas.
"Yes, that's true, it seems that the decay here has spread a lot to the mountains these days," Mu Xue'er said.
"What the hell is the reason for this?" Chan'er was a little puzzled.
"Isn't there some powerful insect here that eats these trees, or maybe these trees have some necrotic disease," Chan'er looked at the trees in confusion, trying to find out the reason.
"Chan'er, what are you doing" Mu Xue'er saw Chan'er groping in these trees, and suddenly stopped her.
"Senior sister, I'm just going to see how these trees die," Chan'er said.
"These trees are not normal deaths, you'd better not move around, in case there are some Gu worms that we don't know, your actions like this will be dangerous," Mu Xue'er said.
Chan'er's expression changed when she heard this, and her hand was immediately withdrawn, and she was indeed frightened.
"Ah, there are Gu worms," Chan'er said in surprise. These things were very terrifying, she hadn't thought of them just now, and she didn't protect herself with her anger at all.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's continue to hurry," Mu Xue'er said, leading Chan'er to continue walking deeper into the forest.
Chan'er heard Mu Xue'er's words, and was about to leave, so she casually glanced at it again, and left, but this time she accidentally caught a glimpse of a small hole in the position of the tree pole three feet above the ground, this glance was not tight, but she glanced at several other trees, the same kind of trees have such a small hole in such a position, but she didn't care, just wondered, didn't say anything, and continued to follow Mu Xue'er.
The two soon came to a shady slope, which was fine, it was already relatively deep, and the vegetation was intact, and there were only towering trees here where they stood, and under the trees were layers of fallen leaves, and there was hardly any grass growing.
"This is where I used to look for medicine, be careful," Mu Xue'er reminded Chan'er.
"Hmm"
Chan'er said, the two of them began to be vigilant and continued to move forward, beware of all the movements around them, but there was no other movement here except for some bird calls, and it was very quiet.
The two continued to walk forward, stopping in front of a giant tree.
"Senior sister, is the place you said here" Chan'er looked at the giant tree in front of her and pointed to the small hole.
"This is it," Mu Xue'er said, there were no weeds around this tree before, and now some weeds have covered the bare soil, but it can be clearly seen that there is a path that has been trampled here, there must be more people walking, but not many people dared to go deep into the pregnant spirit mountain before.
"We, do you want to go in" Chan'er watched Mu Xue'er prepare to walk inside, and pointed with her neck a little worried.
"That's right" Mu Xue'er glared at Chan'er, a little surprised to see Chan'er's expression, how could she be afraid when she was never afraid of heaven and earth.
"Senior sister, this big tree has been dead for so long, could it be that there are a lot of Gu worms in it" Chan'er swallowed.
It turned out that Chan'er was afraid of Gu worms, and she heard that Gu worms were pervasive, would bewitch people from the body, and would slowly be eaten away.
"If it was the tree worm that killed it, there would definitely be," Mu Xue'er said deliberately teasing Chan'er.
"Ah, then I think it's better for us not to go in," Chan'er said.
"Hee-hee," Mu Xue'er smiled lightly with the back of her hand.
"Look at what scares you, Gu worm is not stupid, won't he look for a new host, stay here and wait for death?" Mu Xue'er said.
Chan'er seemed to be the same when she heard this, so she followed in, and Twilight used fireworks as a lamp, illuminating the way, and walked down step by step, but when she reached the middle, she found that it was not dark at all, and some bright light shone down from above, and there were some holes in the top.
There was nothing here, except for some ashes on the ground and a small mound of dirt in another inner cave.
Mu Xue'er looked up, where could she still see some sword marks, and there was a deep dent on the sword marks, which seemed to be the mark left by a circular thing.
"Senior sister, what are you looking at, how can there be traces of a fight on it," Chan'er said.
Mu Xue'er didn't speak, she flew up, and after careful confirmation, she knew that this mark was a trace left by a long sword and a ring the same size as her yin bracelet, which she hadn't noticed before because the light was too dim. And now there was a hole a few feet above the sword mark, and the light was just shining in.
"Senior sister, it seems that something has been taken off the top of your head," Chan'er said.
She and Mu Xue'er have different thoughts, and their points are different.
Hearing Chan'er's words, Mu Xue'er looked up, and sure enough, this rattan is tied here, and there are some tentacles at the end of the rattan, but the suction cups of the tentacles have long been dried up, and some insects on it are netted and clothed.
Mu Xue'er came down from above and said to Chan'er, "Let's go, it seems that the things here have already been taken." "Actually, her purpose has been achieved, this thing was just discovered by accident, so she doesn't care.
"What the hell is this," Chan'er wondered.
"Maybe it's something formed by this giant tree, like Jingyuan, maybe it's something else, okay, let's go back," Mu Xue'er said.
"Senior sister, let's go back, don't you still have your own business," Chan'er said.
"Well, it's done, we should go back to help Ye Xuan, we have to go back to Aoki as soon as possible" Mu Xue'er said with a smile on her face.
Chan'er was indeed a little confused, Chan'er also glanced at the scene in the cave, there was nothing suspicious, except for these small holes in the tree, and she followed Mu Xue'er away.
When Chan'er took two steps, she just turned her head and almost bumped into Mu Xue'er, Mu Xue'er's eyes scanned the outside and stood there still.
"Senior sister, why don't you leave," Chan'er wondered.
"Shhhhhhh
