Chapter 38: "Hope for Escape"

on the stele

Li Hang compared the route along the scratches again, and after making sure that there was no problem, he hurriedly ran to the stone room.

Mao Xiaomi looked at Li Hang's anxious departure, and hurried to follow.

The room where the mountain spirit was located was still the same old one, except for the crimson that was scratched by the cat Xiaomi, there was a dilapidated scene everywhere, and even the only two vases were broken by the cat Xiaomi I don't know when.

Thinking that the scratch disappeared in this stone room, Li Hang didn't dare to be careless, and looked at the entire stone room without letting go of it.

After a few careful looks, Li Hang slowly realized that this stone room was not ordinary, first of all, it was a little larger than other stone rooms, although it was not much, but if you didn't look closely, it was really easy to be ignored.

The second is that there seem to be too many piles of dust unevenly distributed on the ground, like some paper products that have been washed over time and finally fall into dust.

There is also the stone bed that looks gray, although there is a thick layer of dirt on the surface, but if you look at it a few times, you will find that the position and size of this bed are really a little abrupt.

After studying for a while, the cat Xiaomi, who followed up, saw that Li Hang had entered a state of contemplation again, and subconsciously walked to the crimson on the stone bed that was scratched by it, and stretched out her paws to scratch "crunch, crunch".

Li Hang hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, it had already been caught so big, and it was scratching it, what if it was scratched.

Forcing the little clouded leopard not to go near the stone bed again, Li Hang began to rummage through every inch of the stone room.

With a rough goal, it's much easier to look for it.

In front of the dust in the inner corner of the wall, Li Hang stopped, looked up at the wall, and there were two nails on his face, one high and one low, that seemed to be protruding.

He turned his head to look around, and there was a circle of nails lined up on the walls around him, all looking exactly like the one on the top of the two nails in front of him.

If he guessed correctly, these nails used to have calligraphy and paintings hanging on them, and only the slight bulge below was revealed when the calligraphy and painting turned into dust and fell to the ground with the passage of time.

After eliminating all the debris in the stone chamber, Li Hang was almost certain that if there was a labyrinth here, it must have something to do with the bulge below.

Without probing, he leaped forward, slammed his claws at the bulge, twisted his waist in the air with the reaction force of the shot, and landed firmly on the ground.

After a few seconds, nothing seemed to have changed in the surroundings.

Through the contact just now, Li Hang felt that the nail seemed to bulge and was actually a stubby stone nail, as if it had grown on the wall and was nailed inside.

He was not discouraged, and once again he sank down and flew up, slapping harder on the stone nail.

"Squeak, squeak~"

There was a slight sound from the stone slab under the other corner, and Li Hang hurriedly ran over and found that the thick stone slab had cracked a thin gap with the sound.

But that gap was too small, and at most it could allow Li Hang to stick a fingernail tip in.

But Li Hang is still very excited, as long as the method is right, things will be much simpler. He hurriedly turned around, ran up, and slammed on the stone nail the moment he jumped.

"Hiss~"

The sound of the slate cracking was even quieter than it had been before, and the cracks that continued to crack on it did not increase much.

Li Hang knew that this was caused by his lack of strength, but he wanted to open a passage for him and Mao Xiaomi to go out, and there seemed to be no other way than to keep shooting like this.

The stone nail was extremely hard, and after a few more shots, Li Hang's claws were a little unbearable, even if there was a mountain spirit that could help him recover from his injuries, the speed of healing was inevitably too slow.

can only take it slowly, as for the stronger tail, Li Hang is not sure that he can accurately draw the small stone nail when jumping so high.

In desperation, he leaned against the crimson edge of the stone bed, touched it for a while, and waited for the warm current to arrive.

The time for a few meals passed.

Li Hang finally figured out the law of the warm current emitted by the stone bed, that is...... It's completely irregular.

The warm current lasted for three to five minutes, and then became ten minutes, and the interval was about two to five hours.

After the injuries on his waist recovered a little, Li Hang brought half of the honey and fruit wine in the secret room in a warm interval. He planned to spend the next few days here until the crack was completely opened.

Because when the "Spirit of the Mountain" is emitting a warm current, even if it is not close, it can feel the warmth when staying not far away, Li Hang does not want to waste time, and plans to heal while training the cat and Xiaomi in the interval, and he can't let it go down like this.

The little clouded leopard finally knew where the source of his uneasiness was a while ago.

Since Li Hang had no teaching experience, and Mao Xiaomi couldn't understand what Li Hang wanted to express, he directly used the practical teaching method.

"Wow~ๅนบ"

was once again whipped to the wall by Li Hang's tail, and when it fell, the cat couldn't stand Li Hang's ravaging of it, so she simply rolled on the ground, no matter how Li Hang appeased.

Li Hang looked at its pitiful appearance, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. If it's still a long time, of course he wants to teach it slowly in a softer way.

But he was going to leave this world in less than a month, and when the time came, he would only be left with this half-grown little clouded leopard in this mountain range.

With its half-baked hunting skills, it will either grow up under the bullying of other animals in the future, or it will only have to eat insects, and if it is winter, it may not even be able to eat insects.

Thinking of the future appearance of the cat Xiaomi, Li Hang thought ruthlessly, instead of letting other animals bully, it is better to let it grow up under my bullying, and then bully other animals.

So, another round of ravages against and kitty has started again.

Mao Xiaomi is worthy of being a clouded leopard with extraordinary talents, and at first he could only hide in Tibet under Li Hang's pursuit, or play a scoundrel, but after many failed escapes and Li Hang, who was ruthless, finally understood what Li Hang meant.

Although he was never Li Hang's opponent, he slowly learned to imitate his deliberate moves, and he could fight for a while under Li Hang's release.

The gap on the stone slab in the corner of the wall gradually became wider and wider as Li Hang slapped it again and again.

Li Hang took the time to look inside through the gap, but he could only see a stone staircase that extended into the distance.

Mao Xiaomi was exhausted by Li Hang's daily special training, and as a result, the amount of food increased greatly, and his size also jumped up, and the strength of his whole body increased with the growth of his body shape, which surpassed Li Hang, who had recovered from his injuries all over his body.
