At this time, the light gradually dimmed, and there seemed to be something more indescribable in the air, dark and gloomy, as if a fog shrouded the originally quiet and peaceful underground world, and there was a roar of beasts in the distance, at first it was only one or two, and then more and more, sharp, heavy, loud, not the same, endless, and you can see from a distance, there are some places on the ground that there is a faint blue light, like a ghost fire ghost hovering there.

Jiang Xiaobei and the second girl glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of doubts and fear.

"How can this be, when the sky is bright, it seems that there is not even a single mouse and ant, and when it gets dark, all the ghosts and ghosts come out?"

Jiang Xiaobei stretched out his hand and shook it in the air in front of him: "You see, there are more black fogs in the air, it should be fog, although it is also a little dim during the day, but there are no such things, could it be that these black fogs are suppressed during the day, and they can only come out at night? And these beasts will all come out to move."

The second girl frowned slightly: "No matter what, just by hearing these roars, I know that these monsters are not easy to deal with, and besides, the place where the bones of the beasts are buried when we passed, those beasts are afraid that their heads are not small, originally we only thought of guarding against the old man, but now it may not be very safe to see here." ”

Hearing these roars, Jiang Xiaobei couldn't help but feel a burst of irritability in his heart, these voices seemed to be amplified many times in his mind, buzzing and echoing, and he took a few steps irritably and said: "Now we have no way to retreat" But at this time, his eyes inadvertently crossed the trunk of the giant tree behind him.

"Hey, what's that?"

Then he walked a few steps and found a black hole in the trunk of the tree, the entrance of the hole was only one person high, and it was irregular and circular, because the hole was at the junction of the trunk and the branches, half of the hole was flat, so it seemed inconspicuous, and the two of them did not find it just now.

The second girl also leaned over: "There is a hole here? Could it be that there are insects growing in the sea except for this giant tree, and it is bitten open by insects?"

Jiang Xiaobei stretched out his head and sniffed the hole, and then touched the wooden wall of the tree hole: "It was carved by some kind of beast or insect, you see, these lines are bitten out with claws or teeth, but the beast will not choose to build a nest on the tree, and the smell is very normal, the lines of these trees seem to be abandoned for a long time."

"No matter, I can only go in and have a look, it's getting dark like this, I have a very bad premonition."

The second girl frowned: "Well, let's go in together."

Jiang Xiaobei glanced at her, her face seemed very quiet, no nervousness, no anxiety, and she didn't say let me go in alone, if there was no danger to come out to pick you up, now the second girl is seriously injured, and it is already very good to be able to walk, if something goes wrong with herself, I am afraid that she will not be able to survive in this dangerous place.

I didn't dare to think about it at the moment, I found out the lighter and jumped into the hole, and then helped the second girl down, and the two of them helped forward to grope the past, fortunately, the lighter is not a windproof lighter, otherwise now I can only use it to light a cigarette, walked ten or so steps, then stopped, extinguished the fire extinguisher, to avoid being too hot to burn out, and there is only such a device in my hand that can be illuminated.

Because the tree hole is not very regular, the highest point can only make people stand upright, most of the time you need to bend some waist, and there are some debris wood scattered on the ground, as the two of them gradually go deeper, the nose gradually smells a faint fragrance of plants, which is refreshing, the spirit is much better, and the temperature has become a little warmer.

"The smell of good fragrance, is it emitted by this tree?" Jiang Xiaobei said strangely.

The second girl stroked the wooden wall, "It should be, it smells quite similar to the plant flavor I bought, if it is refined into flavor, it should be very marketable."

"......" Jiang Xiaobei was speechless, bent down and picked up a piece of wood chips half the size of a palm, the heavy weight If it wasn't wood on it, the grain would have been clear, and he might have thought it was some kind of metal.

"The quality of this wood is very tight, I guess I can't split it with a knife, and I don't know what kind of monster dug this cave" Jiang Xiaobei was a little strange, and dropped the sawdust in his hand: "Also, it's not appropriate for me to call you the second girl, I've known you for several years, and you haven't told me your name"

"It's all called smooth by you, right" The second girl rolled her eyes: "Remember, my name is Lin Xiaomeng."

"It's very nice, why don't you tell me earlier" Jiang Xiaobei replied to her: "It's the same as my name, it's small."

"Please, it's the dawn of spring"

"Hehe......"

The two stopped and walked, and went dozens of meters deeper, and found that the tree hole had branched out, and two holes were separated.

"Where to go?" Lin Xiaomeng asked.

Jiang Xiaobei observed it and said: "The one on the left, if we don't find it, we should stop and rest, we are going out at dawn, otherwise the fireboat is out of gas, there is no need to take this risk."

"Well, listen to you" Lin Xiaomeng nodded.

After walking for a while, when he stopped to let the lighter rest, Jiang Xiaobei said: "Xiaomeng, did you find it, there seems to be a bright light in front, there seems to be a light in front......

"How can there be a bright light, hey, it's really," Lin Xiaomeng said in surprise.

The front was meandering, but it was only visible because the fire was extinguished, and a faint green light came.

"Isn't it dangerous, otherwise we can retreat?" Lin Xiaomeng asked.

"No, go up and take a look, just don't make a sound, if it's a beast that can't emit light, it shouldn't be a human, after all, we haven't seen a ghost shadow during the day, and this light is green" Jiang Xiaobei asked her tentatively: "Otherwise, you stay here and don't move, I'll go alone?"

"No, I'm afraid, I want to be with you" Lin Xiaomeng shook her head resolutely.

"Well, take a light step," Jiang Xiaobei looked at her.

There was no lighter at the moment, and the two walked forward step by step against the wall of the tree hole, gradually getting closer, and the green light gradually became clear.

I knew that when I walked in, I realized that the tree hole had come to an end, and the end was a little wider, like a small house, and the light was originally emitted from a piece of wood debris the size of a head.

The two of them were a little relieved at this time and put away their vigilance.

Jiang Xiaobei stepped forward and lay down: "Hey, come and see, feelings are not the light of wood hair, they are this thing." As he spoke, he took out the knife and plunged it into the piece of wood, and with a vigorous prie, a small piece of crystal rolled to the ground.

Jiang Xiaobei picked it up, because the side of this small crystal embedded in the wood was also exposed, the soft light of the oil green spread out, shining so that the whole hole was clearly visible, the whole crystal was only the size of a fingernail, and it was still a sheet, as if it had peeled off from a large crystal.

"You should be careful, most of the things that can naturally emit light are radioactive, and most of them are harmful to people" Lin Xiaomeng was a little worried.

"This thing looks like it grew out of this tree, it should be fine, so let's put it in the corner, block it with a wooden block, and leave a little light to come out" After speaking, Jiang Xiaobei threw the crystal into the corner, lifted the piece of wood and pressed it, and the surrounding light dimmed a lot, but he could still see it clearly.

Lin Xiaomeng nodded and sat in the corner opposite the spar, but the whole person relaxed but was a little tired.

Jiang Xiaobei sat next to him: "You are tired and take a rest, I will watch, and it will be fine after tonight".

Lin Xiaomeng nodded, she had been running around all day, and she was injured and had too much blood loss, and it was very good to be able to survive until now.

After a long time, Jiang Xiaobei saw that Lin Xiaomeng had fallen asleep, and his eyes narrowed, but he was still vigilant, although women's intuition is stronger than men's, men's premonitions of danger are more acute than women's.

The green light emitted by that spar Jiang Xiaobei didn't know if Lin Xiaomeng felt it, maybe she was seriously injured and couldn't notice it, but he knew that this spar was extraordinary, the green light shone on him, and the whole person had a warm feeling, and he became more and more energetic, tiredness and sleepiness were swept away, and he didn't dare to assert whether it was beneficial or harmful at the moment.

Moreover, I vaguely felt that something was secretly peeping at me and Lin Xiaomeng, that feeling was indescribable, but it was to make myself believe that the thing that was secretly peeping didn't know what its purpose was, this feeling began to exist when I entered this tree hole, but I thought it shouldn't be a very powerful thing, otherwise I wouldn't just peep in the dark but didn't get into trouble, this kind of awareness didn't tell Lin Xiaomeng, I was afraid that she would be too nervous.

There were still faint voices outside the tree cave, all kinds of strange sounds, chaotic, Jiang Xiaobei even wanted to go out to see the scene outside, but he didn't worry that Lin Xiaomeng was here, so he could only sit and close his eyes all the time.

Then, I don't know how long it took, but the chaotic sound outside gradually subsided.

Just as he was about to stand up and take a few steps, suddenly a small black shadow swept towards the spar that emitted green light, and suddenly lifted the wooden block that was pressed on the spar, and picked up the spar.

Jiang Xiaobei didn't want to pounce and shouted, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The black shadow grabbed the spar and turned around and was about to escape, but found that the way in had been blocked by Jiang Xiaobei, and he took two steps back with the spar in his mouth, and made a "boom" sound in his throat.

With the green light emitted by the spar, Jiang Xiaobei could roughly see the black shadow in front of him, the round body, the four small short legs, but there were no canine teeth that carnivorous animals grow, and the eyes of the copper bell looked like a cat, but there was no fur on the whole body, and the brown skin was wrinkled, which looked very ugly.

Lin Xiaomeng also woke up, got up and quietly leaned against the tree wall and walked towards Jiang Xiaobei, standing behind him, and the two blocked the entrance to the tree hole side by side.
