After walking along the mountain road for half an hour, cutting or picking, each of them carried a large bundle of dry wood. The two put down the wood and sat on it to rest, the summer sun shone on the two of them through the branches, wantonly dissipating heat, Shi Yi wiped a handful of sweat, looked at the sun, and saw that the hour was still early, and his heart couldn't help but be alive, "Hey, big head, the horned scale snakes around here have basically been caught by us, why don't we go over there and have a look, what's the matter?"

The big head followed his fingers, only to see a dense mountain forest, separated from them by a ravine, the big head hurriedly shook his head, and gestured towards Shi Yi, "I know, I know, grandpa said not to let him go, but think about it, we go into the mountains every day, isn't the most dangerous one is to encounter a panning mink, with our current strength, even if we can't beat it, it's always okay to escape, right?"

The big head still shook his head, "Think about it again, grandpa is so relieved to let me enter the mountain twice, which means that there is nothing on this mountain that I can't deal with, we secretly go over, you don't say, I don't say, grandpa won't know" Hearing this, the big head still hesitated, Shi Yi saw this and said, "Let's make an appointment, let's go over and have a look, catch a few horned scale snakes and come back, how about it?" Do you want to drink grouper stewed snake soup?"

Thinking of the delicious soup, and feeling that what Shi Yi said made some sense, the big head finally made up his mind, nodded, and gestured again, "Okay! I promise you, I will retreat immediately if there is any situation!" Shi Yi hurriedly responded, so the two of them carried axes, groped, went down to the ravine, and probed into the depths of the dense forest that their grandfather had always forbidden them to set foot in...

Turning over another hillside, the trees became denser, the sunlight had been completely isolated, and the whole mountain forest seemed extraordinarily deep, and the surroundings were quiet, only the squeak of the two people stepping on the fallen leaves could be heard.

The two of them looked around as they walked, "Big head, have you noticed that this place seems to be different from the mountains and forests we have been to before, you see that the exposed stones here are red" Shi Yi said, pointing to an exposed stone, sure enough, as he said, the color of the stone was bright red, the big head suddenly became nervous, took Shi Yi's hand, his palms were full of sweat, I don't know if it was because of the heat or because of fear.

Shi Yi turned his head to look at the big head, and comforted, "Don't be afraid, big head, no one comes here all year round, there are more fallen leaves, and the color of the stone is a little strange." After saying that, after walking for a while, there was no trace of a horned scale snake, and the two of them smiled bitterly in disappointment, spreading their hands, preparing to go home.

Suddenly, the big head pulled Shi Yi, his nose kept sniffing around, Shi Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he also smelled a special fragrance, which was very tempting. The two glanced at each other, full of doubts, where did the fragrance come from in this deep mountain and old forest, and it smelled delicious, and the two walked along the fragrance to the dense forest on one side.

After walking for a while, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, and the two found that the traces of animal activity on the ground gradually increased, and even saw a mountain rabbit squatting on the ground not far away, standing upright, facing the direction of the source of the fragrance, squinting his eyes, and a very enjoyable expression, like, just like the grandfather's expression every time he was comfortably lying on the chair and smoking a dry cigarette, the two of them were amazed.

Shi Yi picked up the small stone and smashed it at the mountain rabbit, hitting the door of the head, and there was no reaction at all, if it weren't for the rabbit's nose still shaking, he thought it was dead. Shi Yi touched his head strangely, "Big head, you see, how interesting the rabbits in this mountain are, squatting and not moving, I knew that the rabbits here were so stupid, we didn't have to spend so much effort to catch them everywhere before, just come here to pick them up", the big head was also confused, I don't know what's going on.

The further I went, I found that there were more and more animals such as mountain rabbits, horned scale snakes, and goats, but the strange thing was that they all squatted on the ground, and the appearance of the first mountain rabbit they met, as if they were fascinated by the fragrance. The doubts in the hearts of the two grew bigger and bigger, and they clenched the axe in their hands, stabilized their minds, and continued to move forward, wanting to find out.

Passing through a dense thicket, the two were stunned by the sight of a large flat clearing, densely packed with countless animals, hares, snakes, sheep, lynx, and even a panning marten! Shi Yi looked over and saw that there was a one-person high cave about fifty meters away, the entrance of the cave was full of vines and weeds, and there was a clearing where the cave and many animals were squatting, it was very clean, there were no animals, and the fragrance was coming from this cave.

Shi Yi said secretly, so strange, he was about to move forward again, but he was pulled by the big head, he glanced at the big head strangely, the big head shook his head vigorously at him, and his hand kept gesturing, which means that these animals were obviously attracted by the fragrance, but they just squatted here, not daring to go any further, indicating that there was something in front of them that made them afraid, and they couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance, so there was this situation that the two encountered.

Being reminded by the big head, Shi Yi felt a pang in his heart, indeed the situation was not quite right, he glanced at the pan marten again, this animal is not big, but it is very agile, with sharp teeth, aggressive, generally there are few opponents in the mountains and forests, it is considered a small mountain king, the two met once a year ago, and then its subordinates suffered a lot of losses, if it wasn't for the grandfather to arrive in time, the two would have to lose their skin if they didn't die.

Even if the two of them have made great progress in cultivation now, and they are only one foot away from the foundation building realm, it is estimated that they can only guarantee that they can retreat with their whole body, and no one can help anyone. But at this time, the pangolin was obsessed with smelling the fragrance, but it didn't dare to go any further, there must be something in the cave that even it was afraid of! Thinking of this, the two of them suddenly became nervous, and the enthusiasm that had been fascinated by the fragrance before had retreated most of it, and they withdrew! The hero did not suffer the immediate loss, and went back to move the rescuers, although the grandfather knew that the two of them had stepped on this mountain forest, so they would not be punished, but there might be a rare genius treasure hidden in the cave, and it was worth being punished. Determined to make up their minds, the two quietly retreated behind them, for fear of alarming the other animals and causing unnecessary trouble.

Just as the two of them were about to exit the area, a beast roar came from behind, and the two of them were startled, and turned around, only to see a huge head poking its head out of the bushes in front of them, and two long, narrow eyes were staring at the two of them, with half-foot-long fangs shining with cold light, and dark red blood stains on their faces, and they could both smell the stench coming from its mouth from a foot away.

This face Shi Yi has seen! Sharp-clawed lynx! Grandpa used to go up the mountain to hunt and bring it back! Grandpa said that this kind of lynx is enough to have the strength of a foundation-building realm monk! "Big head, run, let's run separately, grandpa said that sharp-clawed lynx is not good at speed, we have a fast wind step, it only has one, it will definitely not be able to catch up with us!" "Wind Walk" is a martial art that increases speed, not long ago he and the big head begged his grandfather for a long time to come, originally expected to chase people in the battle, but I didn't expect the first time to use the actual combat is to escape.

As soon as the words fell, there were two beast roars, and two sharp-clawed lynx came out of the bushes on both sides, and the three showed the momentum of the horns to block the retreat tightly, Shi Yi really wanted to slap himself a few times, his mouth was so smart, he was afraid of something. What should I do now? All three directions are blocked, and I can only turn back and retreat to the animal gathering place just now.

Obviously, this area is the hunting area of the clawed lynx, maybe that strange fragrance is also made by them, attracting nearby animals, and then hunting! These beasts are really cunning, Shi Yi scolded, and the big head back-to-back, and retreated. The three sharp-clawed bobcats in front of him had slowly approached, their paws hitting the ground with a sonorous metallic sound.

was about to retreat to the animal gathering place, and the animals behind him already felt the threat of death, and they seemed to be in a mess when they exploded, and they fluttered their wings in the sky a few times, and disappeared into the high part of the jungle, causing Shi Yi to be envious, how good it would be if he could fly.

But this is not the time to be obscene, the three clawed lynx in front of him can take their own lives, and they have to find a way to get out! The animals fleeing everywhere aroused the predatory desire of the clawed lynx, ignoring the existence of the two for a while, only caring about hunting, claws, teeth, and tails have become their weapons, and this place instantly became a slaughterhouse, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, Shi Yi suddenly remembered the red stone he saw on the road, it couldn't be blood-stained, right?

The big head noticed that the pangolin, which was equal to the strength of the two, could not escape, and was cut into two pieces with one claw. Looking at the broken pangolin in two, a chill came from behind, could it be that he was going to die here today? At this time, the big head's eyes lit up, and he found that the sharp-clawed lynx on the left side was busy culling the larger goats, so that a gap leaked out of the round-up circle, and many small mountain hares and horned snakes escaped from here.

Pulled Shi Yi and pointed over there, Shi Yi comprehended, and fled in the direction of the gap. Seeing that he was about to escape, two sharp-clawed bobcats came out in front of him, wiping out the only chance of life, Shi Yi wailed in his heart, "I*, I have met a clawed bobcat for dinner! I still have a dish!" I had to retreat, the eyes of the bobcats in front of me were full of mockery and bloodthirsty desire! With the addition of these two, the progress of the slaughter became faster and faster, and many small animals were frightened by the scene in front of them, lost the instinct to escape, and lay on the spot and shivered.

The encirclement of the slaughter is getting smaller and smaller, Shi Yi and Datou have no way to retreat, they are wrapped on three sides, and there is no enemy in the direction of the mysterious cave behind them, but even if these animals are culled, they will not flee in that direction, which makes the two of them even more worried, what is there in this cave that makes them so afraid? Besides, maybe this cave is the home of the sharp-clawed lynx, and hiding in it is to catch turtles in the urn!

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a clawed lynx jumped high and pounced on the two, and the cold light on the claws made the two of them tremble. "Why are you still stunned, run, don't care so much, it's a moment to live one more moment, fast wind!" Shi Yi shouted, using all the spiritual power in his body, two blue lights lit up under his feet, and his figure became erratic, floating in the direction of the cave.

Seeing this, the big head also reacted, because he had no spiritual vein, his swift wind step lacked a little spiritual power, and his speed was slower than Shi Yi's, but it was enough to deal with the clawed lynx who was not good at speed. The claws of the claw bobcat grazed the back of the big head, and hit the stone hard, and the splashed stone chips flew everywhere, and when the blow missed, the clawed bobcat roared angrily, and flew to slap the two of them.

The two of them worked so hard that they didn't care about anything else, and fled straight to the cave. The clawed lynx behind him, seeing the two of them burrowing into the cave, stopped in annoyance, looked up to the sky and roared, and the claws kept squiezing on the ground, but they did not dare to pursue again, and they were also afraid of this cave. Shi Yi and Datou didn't know the situation behind them, but they still didn't dare to slack off, and ran forward for a while, until there was no movement behind them, and they didn't dare to stop.

The two turned around to confirm that the clawed lynx did not follow up, breathed a sigh of relief, his body weakened, and he sat on the ground panting, Shi Yi took this opportunity to look around carefully, there was no imaginary black in the cave, but there was a piece of blue jade on the top of the cave at certain intervals, faintly glowing with blue light, the two looked at each other, this is obviously artificially inlaid up, could it be that this cave has an owner? Grandpa said that there are some monks who are tired of the world and like to go to the deep mountains and old forests, split a piece of cave, and concentrate on cultivation.

Shi Yi jumped up, "Great, big head, there are traces of human activity in this cave, it is definitely not the nest of the clawed lynx, it seems that those animals were afraid of the people in this cave before, we have been saved!"

The big head was also very excited, and made a gesture, "What? You guy, it's all this time, and you're still thinking about eating? You said that the fragrance is cooked by people?"

Shi Yi was speechless for a while, but saliva flowed out unconsciously, the two of them had breakfast and went into the mountain, tossing until now, I am afraid that it is already noon, and the fragrance is too tempting, if it is as the big head thinks, there is a person cooking in this cave, anyway, the two of them are going to rub some food.

The two patted their buttocks, followed the increasingly strong fragrance, and walked to the depths of the cave, and walked for a while, but there was still no end in sight, Shi Yi said, "Big head, this cave is too deep, isn't this person tired of living so far away from the entrance of the cave?"

The big head also nodded in agreement, these masters are really idle, and the place where they live is so mysterious. After turning a sharp corner, the fragrance suddenly became violent, inhaled into the lungs, and felt that the whole person was extremely refreshed, and the spiritual power in the body worked on its own.

Shi Yi had never heard his grandfather say that any master could guide people to cultivate when cooking! He was about to speak, but he saw the big head lying on the ground, one ear against the ground, and his right hand raised to make a "shh" gesture towards him, Shi Yi held back his words, and the whole cave became quiet, and after listening for a while, the big head straightened up and gestured, "You mean there is the sound of water? In this deep mountain and old forest, where does the sound of water come from halfway up the mountain?" Shi Yi said suspiciously, the big head must have nodded again, Shi Yi was even more confused, although the big head was a mute, but his ears and nose were very smart, and he would not be mistaken.

With a full of confusion, the two turned a corner again, and what caught their eyes was a two-person high stone door, ajar, and the fragrance and the sound of water came from the stone gate, and it was to the place.
