Chapter 6: Crisis!

"Come here... Come here..."

"Kano, are you calling me?"

"No, it's something else. ”

Kai patted his head that hurt a little, and looked at the black civet Kano, his eyes full of doubts.

"Come here..." The sound did not go away, it seemed to be more frequent.

"I hear that too, Akai, go out and have a look. The black civet jumped into Kai's arms. Kai came out of the tent with the black civet in his arms.

"Hey, Kay, what's wrong?" Paul looked at Kay quizzically, "Can't sleep?"

It was interrupted. Ken wondered, "Have you ever heard anything?"

"Come here..." Strange noises appeared.

"What? No, did you hear anything?" Paul looked at Kay inexplicably.

"Oh! no, I guess it's an auditory hallucination. Kai changed the subject, "I went for a walk around the neighborhood, and I couldn't sleep for a while. ”

"Well, don't go too far, remember to come back early. Paul reminded Kay.

"Okay. ”

The black spirit cat jumped to the ground and led Kai in front, Kai clenched the Tang knife with his left hand, giving himself a sense of security. I don't know why, Kai always seems to be unable to keep up with the black spirit cat, but he hasn't been thrown off either. Kano's eyes glowed with a faint blue light, as if he was looking for the source of the sound.

"It's close... Here it is..." The voice grew louder.

"Kano, what's wrong? What the hell is that voice?" Kay stopped panting, and the black civet Kano glanced back at Kai, turned and jumped into Kai's arms.

"This is it. ”

In front of Kai appeared a huge hill. It's as tall as a hill, but it's just weird. How can you put it? It's like a big mountain suddenly appearing on the plain, very unharmonious, very disobedient.

"It's out. Meow~" Kano shouted, "What's the matter with calling us over?" Kano looked at the black civet Kano in confusion, wondering who it was talking to? Appearing in front of Kai was a samurai in golden armor. It's an old man who is over the age of six.

"Are you calling me?" Kai remained calm, and looked at the old man who suddenly appeared, but still took a few steps back, and distanced himself from him.

"What are you doing here?" asked the old man. Snow-white beard fluttering in the wind.

"Look for the remnants of the Ancient Golden Country. ”

"The Golden Ancient Country, it's dangerous there. First of all, let me introduce myself: the last guardian of the Golden Ancient Kingdom - the Golden Lion. The old man introduced himself.

"The six-pointed adventurer - Kai, and the black cat Kano. Kai also introduced himself.

"Hexagram? I think I've heard of it somewhere? Forget it, I don't want to. It's very difficult to go to the Golden Ancient Country, and besides, the current Golden Ancient Country is no longer the country it used to be. If you insist on going, I can give you the key to break the space, but once you enter, whether you live or not is not out of my control. The old man gave Kai a red stone, "I am ordered to guard this place, and I am also ordered to wait for the people who can save the Golden Ancient Kingdom." This is the last key, with which you can open the mountain wall. Whether you live or die is up to you. After saying that, the old man seemed to be slowly fading and becoming transparent.

"Its mission is accomplished. Akai, we'll camp. The black civet struck the distracted Kai with his tail.

"Oh, what? Okay. Goodbye warriors of the ancient kingdom. Kay returned to the camp with the red stone.

"Is Kai sleepy?" asked Paul.

"Oh sleepy, sleepy. Then I'll go to bed first, good night. Kay walked into the tent. Putting down Kano, he sat down on the floor and looked carefully at the red transparent stone. After looking at it for a long time, I still didn't find anything.

"Sleep. You can't tell. Kano's elegant voice had a foolish laugh, but there was no malice.

"Well, okay. "Kai lay down and slept with his eyes closed, after all, he was really sleepy. The black civet crouched next to the red stone, its glowing blue eyes turning green. It seemed to have seen something: "Am I guessing right? Why is it happening? Remember to bring torches tomorrow, these fragile humans are really dead." Kano jumped onto Kay's chest and began to rest.

The night was calm and the day dawned.

"Morning, everyone!"

"Good morning, Kai," Lily said, taking the black civet away, rubbing her face against the black fur. Lena walked beside Kai, eating a light breakfast as she made her way to the smooth stone wall.

"I remember it was here. Jack looked at the black hole and recalled, "Did you have a collective hallucination yesterday?" Jack pulled out his cigar to clear his head.

"Let's go and prepare to prevent accidents. Kai glanced at the black civet and returned to camp.

"Akai, remember to bring the torches I prepared for you, there may be danger inside. The voice of the black civet sounded in Kai's head. Kai nodded.

Everyone packed up their tents and set off.

"What's in your wooden box, Kay?" Paul looked at the box in Kay's hand.

"Torches. Kai said lightly. The six of them had already arrived at the entrance of the cave, and it was dark and terrifying, "Let's light my torches." "Kai alone sent ten handfuls, just right. Because just now, Kai received a reminder from the black spirit cat that the darkness inside can only be illuminated by torches.

Not much to say. The group entered the cave, and the blue light emitted by the torches illuminated the cave. Looking at the receding darkness, the attentive Kai saw that something existed.

"It was a black fish, a spirit that swam in the darkness. My torches can restrain them. Be careful, though. They devour creatures in the dark. ”

"Don't go into the dark, everybody. Kai suddenly shouted solemnly.

"Okay captain. The others looked at Kai and didn't have any questions. Still, Jack threw an empty milk carton into the darkness ahead. Jack walks and walks only to find that the milk carton is missing, yes, missing. The others also stood in place, stunned.

"Akai, what's going on?" Lin Yun looked at Kai with a solemn expression.

"All I can say is that there is some unknown creature in the darkness that will devour anything in an instant. And my torches can dispel them. ”

"Kai, how do you know?" asked Lena.

"I don't know, it's just a torch soaked in wormwood juice. I heard that it can ward off evil spirits. Kai repeated the Black Grey Cat's excuse.

"Well, you have to be careful. Kay stressed again.

The group walked cautiously, no longer relaxed before. Instead, he looked solemn. As the torches looked dimmer and dimmer, Lily lit her own torch as well. The group kept moving forward, and the dimmer the torches, the more they were lit.

"Captain, what's going on?" Jack called Kay. Kay didn't reply. Because he was listening to the black civet.

"There are too many. Are you sure you want to move on?"

"Are we going to move on?" said Kay, looking at the team members with torches.

"Yes. Everyone was inexplicably firm.

"Grab as many torches as you can. Kay repeated Kano's words. About a dozen. The black cat walked next to Lena.

"Everybody keep going. ”

The surroundings began to light up again. It was only then that the group was able to see something nearby. The crowd should be in a hall by now. In the middle of the hall is a small pyramid.

"Pick up that pyramid and get ready for battle. The black civet suddenly said, "Light the remaining torches." ”

"Let's light the remaining torches. As Kai spoke, the crowd did not hesitate. See the torches illuminate the hall. The crowd also saw the face of the hall. Resplendent. Atmospheric architecture.

"Alright, let's get some sleep first. The black civet hypnotized the five people together and surrounded them with torches, "Akai, go get it." ”

Kai gripped the Tang knife in his left hand and took down the small pyramid floating in the middle of the hall with his right hand. At the same time, the entire hall shook. Kai put the small pyramid in his backpack and pulled out the Tang knife in his hand. The silver light protected Kai.

Dark. Devours everything in an instant. Out of Kai and the five men surrounded by torches.

"Kano!" Kai cried out, shocked to see Kano engulfed in darkness. Full of worries.
