"Tick-tock", a drop of water slipped from the upside-down cone rock and dripped on Gordon's toes, making him feel slightly cold.
The rocks on both sides are jagged and sharp, like the ferocious fangs of a ferocious beast. Occasionally, a few empty dripping sounds are heard, like saliva dripping from the tips of the fangs, especially in the deep and silent chasm. clear.
Along the way, Gordon silently counted his heartbeats to calculate the time. He walked along the ditch for about two days after leaving the drool monster. It was still dark along the way, but sporadic grass grew in the cracks of the ditch. He used this to To satisfy hunger and barely maintain physical strength.
Gordon has always been used to darkness and loneliness. But since he met Artest and Cicada, things have been a little different.
Sometimes, the surroundings were so quiet that Gordon couldn't help humming the song sung by the drooling monster. The cicada climbed on the Devil's Fate Tree, opening its small mouth and responding "one-one-one".
His steps were light as a result, and his hunger became less uncomfortable.
As he continued to go deeper into the ground, he discovered more plants one after another. They took root in the mud of the rock crevices, and their slender and prickly stems and leaves climbed close to the rock formations. The surrounding terrain also suddenly opened up, and extended out. Narrow ditches are like spider webs extending in all directions, and natural caves of various sizes are scattered on the rock walls.
Turning around the rock, a small pool came into view. The water was dark and turbid, surrounded by rocks, and was covered with a fragrant tuber plant. Gordon immediately ran over, broke off the fat tuber, and smelled it carefully. Smell it, bite a small piece and chew it slowly. The tuber tastes good, crispy, refreshing and juicy, and tastes a bit like a sweet potato.
"There is a thief! Someone is stealing potatoes!" A series of high-pitched screams sounded in the distance, and black shadows came out of the cave and ran towards Gordon.
Gordon glanced at the other party calmly, continued to break off the tuber, and swallowed it in large gulps.
"You little potato thief, shut up!" The shadows shouted and rushed to Gordon. When they caught a glimpse of his shriveled and wrinkled appearance, they couldn't help but be frightened and hurriedly backed away.
Gordon ate several kilograms of tubers in one breath, then turned around and walked towards the leading black figure.
"What do you want to do?" the leader of the black shadow said tremblingly, his arms shaking wildly, holding a crude knife made of rock.
Gordon looked at the other person's small face covered with gray-brown spots, dark green wrinkled skin, short limbs and round belly, and asked: "Goblin?"
"It turns out to be a human being." The leader of the goblin breathed a sigh of relief, waved his stone knife, and shouted arrogantly, "You humble thief, when you see the great Lord Columbus, why don't you kneel down and salute?
Gordon flew up and kicked the goblin in the wrist. The stone knife flew out of his hand. Gordon jumped up to catch it, and brought the tip of the knife lightly, pressing it against the goblin's throat. "Lord Columbus, I prefer to greet you in this way." Gordon said with a half-smile. Said. The combat power of goblins is not as good as that of an ordinary human being. Even if they are one ethnic group, Gordon can definitely defeat them.
Columbus's expression froze and he swallowed hard: "Human, please don't be impulsive. Let me go and say what you have to say. Otherwise, your end will be very tragic!"
Gordon suddenly swung his fist and hit Columbus on the belly. Columbus let out a shrill cry of pain, and Gordon punched him several times in a row until the opponent bent over and vomited. He screamed and begged: "Human warrior, please show mercy, I have been beaten by you." Conquered!"
The rest of the goblins held stone forks in their hands and looked at each other in confusion. One goblin whispered: "Isn't Lord Columbus the most brave and good at fighting? Why was he caught all of a sudden?"
Columbus raised his head and glared at the goblin fiercely: "Costa! If you dare to talk about the commander behind his back, I will give you some shoes to wear when you go back!"
Costa's face twitched, he quickly raised the stone fork, rushed towards Gordon, and shouted: "Sir, I'm here to save you!" The other goblins also waved crude stone tools and rushed at him with random shouts.
Gordon tightened his stone knife and strangled Columbus's neck. He was so frightened that he fell to his knees. A stink came out of his crotch and a large puddle was wet on the rock. "No, you idiots, stop it!"
Columbus screamed like a pig, "Costa, if you dare to murder the commander, I will give you little shoes to wear when you go back!"
Costa had just rushed in front of Gordon, and when he heard this, his face turned pale. Gordon knocked him down with a horizontal elbow, jumped out, and swept his legs through the group of goblins like a whirlwind. Each goblin leaned forward and backward, like a flying ball.
The sack fell to the ground, then he lay down motionless and began to pretend to be dead.
Gordon reached out with his back arm and grabbed Columbus who was about to sneak away: "Sir Columbus, I have a few questions to ask you. Just answer them truthfully and I will let you leave alive."
How can a goblin be honest? This human clearly wants to make things difficult for me. Columbus secretly cursed and said: "Don't worry, warrior, I try not to lie."
Gordon asked: "It is said that there is a river underground here?"
Who knows? Columbus forced a smile: "Yes, of course there is. There is such a big river, and there are many ferocious crocodiles in the river. I have conquered them all."
Gordon looked at Columbus calmly and asked: "Going further down, is there a patch of piranha flowers?"
"There are still a lot of dead people's bones!" Columbus blurted out, "Warrior, I'm not bragging this time! That place is gloomy, and there is also a cruel and terrible blind giant living there. Many of our tribesmen were eaten by him."
Gordon pondered for a moment. If the Blind Giant was really near the Piranha, he would have to solve this problem before he could successfully enter the Pit of Sin. "Okay, take me there." He patted Columbus's butt with a stone knife and motioned for him to follow him.
Walk.
Columbus was stunned and said with a sad face: "Warrior, you said you let me go."
"I lied." Gordon replied disapprovingly. He just needed cannon fodder. The goblins could not only serve as bait for hunting giants, but also give a try to the river of time.
After they left for a long time, the goblins climbed up carefully, covering their mouths and snickering. "They are going to the blind giant, and they must report this matter to the clan leader." Costa rolled his eyes and ran back to the cave.
Gordon led Columbus as he walked down. The front became more and more open. The rocks stood tall and became forests. Large plants covered the ground. From time to time, you could see flower moles, armadillos, stone turtles and some flying black beetles.
"This should be left by the blind giant." Gordon knelt down and carefully looked at the huge footprints printed in the grass.
The footprints were deeply sunk into the ground, about half a meter long, and had six thick toes. Columbus covered his eyes with his hands in fear, his whole body was shaking, and his teeth were chattering.
"You won't have to be afraid soon." Gordon smiled and struck out with a palm, cutting the back of Columbus's neck. The goblin staggered, fainted and fell to the ground.
