Chapter 9: Horror
Hu Yun carried the silver wire cage and walked in the dense forest for an hour, counting the time, it should be close to noon now, but the sky was overcast, and the heavy lead-gray dark clouds seemed to be about to fall, and the rain was heavier.
He was hungry in his stomach, his hands and feet were weak, and his wet clothes were attached to his body, so he couldn't say that he was uncomfortable, and he thought: "If you go on like this, you have to be tired to death, so you should find a place to rest." "I put my hand on the pergola and looked around, and I saw a huge tree in front of me, the trunk of which was surrounded by five or six adults, and the roots of the tree showed a dark hole.
Originally, there were more than one person tall weeds at the entrance of the cave, and it was very tightly shielded, but it was only because of the heavy rain at the moment that the weeds were bent and the hole was exposed.
Hu Yun hesitated for a while, he knew that there were likely poisonous insects and beasts in such a tree hole, but there was no other shelter from the rain around, so he could only go hard.
When I got closer, I found that the hole in the tree was so large that it was not a problem to lie down for five or six adults, and it was very dry inside. Hu Yun did not enter immediately, but carefully inspected outside the cave, and found that there were only some dead leaves and mud and sand in the cave, and there were no animal bones.
He was so tired that he took off all his wet clothes and lay naked on the dead leaves. He was about to close his eyes and sleep for a while, but he saw the silver fox suddenly turn his head and look at him. The eyes were purple, like two gems, glowing faintly.
Hu Yun felt that this look was extremely profound, and couldn't help but want to find out, and before he knew it, his mind was completely attracted to it, and just as he was gradually sinking, a trace of pain suddenly flashed in the fox's eyes, and he turned his head away.
Hu Yun jerked in his heart, came back to his senses, his head was full of cold sweat, and he thought: "This fox is weird, what that monk said, 'The second half of the generation will rely on it.'" Sure enough, I took it to Lin'an City and handed it over to Uncle Han to see, he should be able to know this fox if he is well-informed. ”
was about to continue sleeping, his eyes found that the silver fox turned around, the hind legs that were originally pressed under him were exposed, the flesh and blood on it were blurred, and it was soaked in rain and some suppuration, Hu Yun was in a hurry just now, and he didn't pay attention to the silver fox, only to find that it had already been injured, and thought to himself: "This injury must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be able to reach Lin'an City, even if it is expensive, what is the use of a dead fox?"
He got up again, wrapped his shirt around his waist, blocked his lower body, and went out of the hollow of the tree, and after a short time, he came back with a few healing herbs and some wild fruits in his hands.
He chewed the herb in his mouth and applied it to the wound on the silver fox's hind leg. The silver fox was very human, and knew that Hu Yun was helping it heal its injuries, so he didn't move. After Hu Yun applied the herbs, the silver fox turned his head to look at Hu Yun again.
Hu Yun had just experienced, and he was nervous in his heart, and he was about to take his eyes away, but he saw that the silver fox's eyes were just staring at him like jewels, and he didn't emit that faint purple light. Hu Yun found that this look did not sink his mind, so he put his heart down, grinned, and began to eat wild fruits.
In the next few days, the heavy rain was intermittent, and there was no sign of stopping, Hu Yun saw that the weather could not travel far, fortunately, there were many wild fruits and herbs around this tree hole, so he stayed at ease and waited for the weather to clear on the road, and the silver fox's hind leg injury was much better after a few days of treatment, and he could stand up and walk around in the cage.
That night, Hu Yun applied medicine to the silver fox as usual, ate wild fruits and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Hu Yun's chest seemed to be crushed with a big stone, and it became more and more difficult to breathe. Opening his eyes slightly, he saw a bucket-thick python wrapped around his body in the hazy night, Hu Yun was horrified and wanted to get up, but found that his limbs had been wrapped tightly and he couldn't move.
And the giant python found that the prey showed signs of struggle, the python's body immediately tightened, Hu Yun felt a huge force entangled, and the bones were about to be crushed, thinking: "It's over, it's over, I didn't expect me to die like this, father, sister, I'm coming to see you in the underworld." ”
At this moment, Hu Yun suddenly felt that the giant python had stopped winding, and at this moment his neck could still turn, so he hurriedly looked up, only to see that the giant python's eyes were purple, and the python's head trembled slightly. Hu Yun suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly looked at the silver fox, and sure enough, the silver fox's eyes were staring at the giant python tightly, and a faint purple light was emitting from the pupils.
Hu Yun thought that the silver fox almost controlled his mind with his eyes before, knowing that the giant python was also controlled by the silver fox at this moment, he ignited the hope of survival again, and after a short time, the giant python's body began to tremble slightly, and the python's body was weakly paralyzed on Hu Yun's body as if it had a broken joint. Hu Yun hurriedly crawled out with his hands and feet and hid to the side.
The giant python's body trembled more and more, as if it was struggling for something, and suddenly opened its big mouth and bit its body violently, under the great pain, the python's tail flicked, and with a bang, the ground in the tree hole hit the dead leaves and flew wildly, and the dust was flying.
The silver fox seemed unwilling to hurt the python's life, the purple light in his eyes gradually dissipated, and after the python recovered its nature, it immediately ran out of the tree hole.
All this happened in a short time, but Hu Yun circled around the ghost gate, he gasped, as if he was experiencing a nightmare, and it took a while before his mood gradually calmed down. When he looked up at the silver fox, he saw that it was in a circle and asleep, as if the matter was insignificant.
Hu Yun smiled bitterly, he couldn't sleep anymore this night, his back was leaning against the wall of the tree hole, and he finally survived until dawn. After a night of thought, he decided to leave immediately, and the tree hole could no longer be inhabited.
The silver fox also woke up and looked at him lazily, with a mocking look in his purple pupils. Hu Yun sighed lightly, walked over to open the cage, and said, "I, Hu Yun, am also a person who knows how to repay my kindness, since you saved my life last night, I can't lock you up anymore, you can go." ”
The spirit fox stretched its paws forward, as if stretching its waist, and then slowly walked out of the cage, looked at Hu Yun quietly for a while, turned around and ran out of the hole, and disappeared into the grass.
Hu Yun suddenly felt empty in his heart, after so many days of getting along, he was a little reluctant.
The tree hole was hit by the python, it was already chaotic, Hu Yun had nothing to pack, so he was about to leave, at this time, he suddenly found that the ground had cracked several holes, and he doubted in his heart, it stands to reason that even if the python has divine power, it can't smash the ground into cracks.
This aroused Hu Yun's curiosity, and along the crack in the ground, he walked to the position where he was hit by the python's tail. The ground here was full of cracks, Hu Yun stretched out his hand to pick it up, and the sand and gravel fell at hand, falling towards the crack, the crack became bigger and bigger, and finally formed a hole more than a foot wide, and there was even some light coming out.
Hu Yun stretched out his head to look down and immediately understood. It turns out that there is a huge karst cave in this mountain, and the whole mountain is like a cave shell. Originally, the soil layer of this shell was quite thick, but the rhizome of the giant tree where Hu Yun was located was thick and prosperous, squeezing part of the soil layer, and then the continuous heavy rain made the soil much looser, and finally the python flicked its tail and finally cracked the soil layer.
Seeing that it was a cave, Hu Yun was slightly disappointed, stood up and prepared to leave, but he didn't expect that the soil layer under his feet was very fragile, and it cracked with a click. Hu Yun felt the soles of his feet hang in the air, and his body fell into the cave.
Coincidentally, there was a huge crater where Hu Yun fell, and it rained heavily for several days, and the water seepage on the soil layer filled the puddle. With a plop, Hu Yun fell into the puddle, he choked a few mouthfuls of water, and crawled out of the puddle with his hands and feet.
He was frightened, looking at the hole above his head, which was dozens of feet from the ground, and thought that he was lucky enough not to fall to the ground, and he fell to his death.
Settle down, since the hole above is too high to get out, you can only find a way from elsewhere.
Looking around, the light in this cave is very good, and if you look closely, you will find that there are many unknown stones on the cave wall, emitting a faint white light. There are seven or eight passages on the stone wall of the cave, which zigzag and do not know where it leads.
