Zuo Qing got up early to prepare, and the senior brothers and sisters in Nanyuan thought that he was going to Octagonal Rock to practice swords, and they were all used to it these days, and no one cared about Zuo Qing's specific actions.

Zuo Qing also came to the fire grotto on horseback, although he had heard of it, but he had never been here.

When I first walked out of Qianling Mountain, surrounded by trees, the grass and trees flourished, and when I bypassed a few mountain beams, the trees gradually became scarce, and the ground was full of low shrubs and grasses, and continued to walk westward, the bushes gradually disappeared, and the grass became more and more sparse, from a continuous patch of grassland gradually became a cluster of weeds, and the surface was filled with reddish-brown sand and gravel.

Zuo Qing followed the location on the map in his memory, and gradually walked to a barren mountain, the red soil and red sand were all over the barren mountain, and there was no vegetation on the mountain. The barren mountains are not low, and there are no roads, the steep slopes are full of quicksand, and the few stones that become the cornerstones for resting and climbing.

On the top of the mountain is a huge mountain stone, as if a big bowl is upside down on the mountain, Zuo Qing came to the front of the "big bowl", the cliff is several zhang high, Zuo Qing can not reach the top, according to the calculation, the fire grotto should be on the mountain, but Zuo Qing did not find the entrance.

In desperation, Zuo Qing walked along the cliffs around the "big bowl", and when he walked to the northwest corner, a hole appeared on the cliff, like a crack in the "big bowl". Because the sun is still in the east, the light in the rock crevice is dim, and the size of the space inside can not be seen clearly, Zuo Qing got closer, and suddenly a group of bats flew out of the hole, Zuo Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly lay on the ground, and a group of bats swept behind Zuo Qing.

When there was no movement, Zuo Qing got up from the ground, this crack was not big compared to the entire barren mountain, but it was not small, it was three or four people wide and two feet high, showing a sharp inverted triangle. Walking into the cave, it suddenly became clear that it was a natural stone shed, and the inside of the stone shed was much brighter than the entrance of the cave, because there were three holes of different sizes on the top of the stone shed, and three beams of sunlight shone obliquely in, and there was a lot of dust on the three pillars of light.

"What a bowl!" Zuo Qing said with a smile.

Zuo Qing patrolled in the cave, all around are layers of rocks, different heights, get closer to see, like a stone forest, and like a labyrinth, looking for a long time, at the top of a rock there is a black and secluded hole, the hole is located above the rock, if you don't look carefully, you will think that it is the shadow of other rocks, and the hole is very small, only more than a foot wide, more than half a foot high.

Zuo Qing hesitated for a moment, a little hesitant in his heart, because if he went in, he might encounter a lot of unexpected situations, he might get lost, he might not be able to get out, even if he was stuck in the middle, it was very likely that he would suffocate inside.

After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Qing looked up to the sky and smiled, then took a sip and scolded: "Damn fate, Lao Tzu fought with you!"

Zuo Qing climbed to the rock first, then took off his coat, left his coat on the rock, lit the fire fold prepared in advance, approached the entrance of the cave, looked carefully inside, and took a small knife to test a few times, feeling that there was no danger, and then grabbed the hole with both hands, climbed the rock with both feet, and climbed in little by little.

The inside is still so narrow, it can only accommodate the next person to crawl forward, fortunately Zuo Qing is relatively thin, but if Zuo Qing wants to come out, he can only go backwards little by little, and it is impossible to turn around. Zuo Qing climbed deeper and deeper, the passage was first up a slope, and then began to slowly go down, not only that, the narrow passage also had a place to turn, at first, Zuo Qing remembered to turn two small turns to the left first, and then turned a big turn to the right, but then Zuo Qing couldn't remember.

Moreover, Zuo Qing crawled along the passage, feeling more and more cold and even a little wet on the rocks. Continuing to crawl, I found that my hands and the corners of my clothes were already wet, and in some places I was still dripping water.

Suddenly, Zuo Qing just stretched forward with one hand, "snap", one hand was empty, in a panic, the other hand hurriedly pulled the rock next to him, fortunately Zuo Qing was lying on his stomach, the center of gravity of his body was in the middle, and his chest also played a supporting role, otherwise Zuo Qing would have fallen into the puddle this time.

Due to the panic, the fire fold held in the other hand also fell into the water, and it was dark all around, Zuo Qing withdrew his deep hand in the water, wiped the water on his face, gasped, and his heart palpitated, Zuo Qing tried the puddle in front of him, and couldn't touch the bottom with all his arms, Zuo Qing smiled bitterly: "I'm really crazy, how could I think of such a solution." ”

"Go back, or move on?" Zuo Qing hesitated. For him, there is unknown darkness ahead, but when he goes back, Zuo Qing is a little unwilling, calculate the time, and if he runs into Lin Shuai and them when he goes back now, he will also be a dead end.

Zuo Qing's mind was spinning wildly, he remembered that the introduction of the fire grotto in the book was not like this, why did he climb for so long and not enter the fire grotto?

While hesitating, Zuo Qing suddenly felt a gust of hot air blowing in front of him, and the airflow was very hot, which made Zuo Qing feel very uncomfortable. However, this heat flow made Zuo Qing feel a glimmer of hope, "Yes, the fire grotto is just ahead!"

Thinking about it, Zuo Qing groped in the dark, and crossed the puddle along the edge of the puddle, which was only more than a foot wide, and after going around, it was a wet rock again. Because there was no light, Zuo Qing touched the stone and moved forward, and accidentally knocked out several purple packets on his head.

Dark, damp, cold, and occasionally hot and dry air, the combination of cold and warm made Zuo Qing feel that his body was at its limit, Zuo Qing's heartbeat was accelerating, his head was buzzing, and he might even have hallucinations.

There is no end to this cave, and Zuo Qing's perseverance has been challenged like never before.

"Isn't that kid here yet?"

"Hehe, handsome guy, it is estimated that Zuo Qing's kid just deliberately said something big, and now he may be planting vegetables in the vegetable garden, so he can't come." ”

"Well, it's possible. ”

"Just like his bear, he still dares to argue with a handsome guy?"

"Hey, do you think it's possible for him to get the Fire Dragon Ball first and hide?"

"This ...... We've been looking here for so long, and we haven't seen the Dragon Balls, hey, maybe!"

"Then don't you look for it!

Zuo Qing thought it was an illusion at first, but the more he heard this voice, the clearer it became, and the more he heard it, the more familiar it became, and he was suddenly shocked, "This voice is Lin Shuai and his gang!"

Zuo Qing's heart was like beating a gong and a drum, "What's the matter? Where are they? Could it be that they are in the fire grotto? Where am I? Is this true?" Zuo Qing calmed down and was sure that this was true, but he also seemed to be sure that he was on the wrong path.

Zuo Qing continued to grope in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, a misty light appeared in front of him, "That should be the entrance of the cave!" Zuo Qing crawled towards the brighter place, the light became brighter and brighter, "Sure enough, it's the entrance of the cave!"

Zuo Qing was very excited, he could see the situation of the passage clearly at this time, the speed of crawling was getting faster and faster, and the sound of Lin Shuai and the others outside the cave mouth talking and rummaging for things was also heard more clearly.

Zuo Qing finally climbed to the entrance of the cave and leaned out slightly, "Whew-" A deafening voice suddenly came, shaking the rocks one after another, and then, "Whew!" A hot heat wave rushed to his face, Zuo Qing's face was hot and painful, and his whole body was originally cold, but in an instant, it seemed to be burning! Zuo Qing hit several spirits in a row, and got goosebumps.

At this moment, a behemoth swept in front of the entrance of the cave, because the entrance of the cave was small, the thing was too large, Zuo Qing only saw a flame rising into the sky, a big mouth under the flame, the length of the mouth was far beyond the height of a normal person, the pitch-black back was very broad, after a long time, it was a thick tail, two thick thighs were faintly seen on both sides of the tail, and there were sharp giant claws at the end of the thighs, and it was not a problem to hold a person with claws all the time, and it took a long time to see the end of the tail, and there were sharp bone spurs on the tip of the tail.

At that moment, Zuo Qing was frightened, he had never seen such a behemoth, was this - dragon?
