In a secret room, two people were standing and talking. Under the dim candlelight, their expressions were somewhat dim and unclear.
The young man who was sitting was playing with the wooden sign at his waist with one hand and drawing something on the table carelessly with the other hand without saying anything.
The atmosphere became more and more oppressive, and the people standing bent their waists even more under the atmosphere of these words.
Young man: "Zhisou, have you forgotten the purpose of coming here?"
"Nature always keeps it in mind and never dares to forget it."
"Then why are the things sent here not growing?"
"They are all minor troubles. I have already solved them. The rest will naturally satisfy the adults."
"I heard that your place is not very stable recently. I wonder if you need help?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. They are just some ants. Just deal with them. I don't dare bother you."
"Really? Since Zhisou can handle it, we can rest assured."
"I will definitely not disappoint you all."
A smile appeared on the young man's face: "Then we will wait and see."
Zhisou also showed a rare smile: "We have recently acquired a few new treasures. I wonder if you can come and have a look."
"I still fully believe in Zhisou's ability."
The two people came out of the secret room one after another. Under the light from outside the secret room door, their faces were expressionless and their eyes were full of defense. Unfortunately, their expressions were quickly covered up, and both of them showed a trace of falsehood.
smile.
In the small pond outside the secret room, two goldfish were wandering carefree, not affected by the surrounding environment at all.
The flames of the candles in the dark passage were weak, but it did not hinder their progress at all. The young man observed everything around him calmly, and Zhisou carefully guided the way in front.
Fan Nuanyang in the cave closed her eyes and trembled, listening to the sound of flesh being eaten in her ears. She felt like she was going crazy now.
Why did a simple mission lead them to such an end? What was the monster they just saw?
Fan Nuanyang touched his ankle in fear and huddled up shivering.
The smell of blood around him was intertwined with the strong fragrance of flowers. Fan Nuanyang felt like vomiting when he smelled it. However, the monster was most sensitive to sounds. Thinking of his still aching back, Fan Nuanyang couldn't say anything right now.
regret.
Fan Nuanyang shouted nervously in his head: "Elder Xiong, can you save me?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here!"
Fan Nuanyang said sarcastically: "Elder Xiong said it quite easily. Look at my current appearance and the environment around me. Do you still dare to say that nothing will happen to me now?"
Elder Xiong's face was impatient, but his tone was still coaxing: "We have already bound a contract. If you die and I die, how can I not care about your life or death?"
“But what now?!!”
"Don't worry, wait until I think of a solution."
"Think quickly, think quickly, as long as you can get me out of this damn place."
"Don't worry, judging from the current situation, your life is not in danger for the time being."
Fan Nuanyang heard the sound of climbing and opened his eyes slightly in fear.
The surroundings have quieted down, leaving only the disgusting smell in the air, and the blood splashed on the flowers bear witness to what just happened here.
"I have to run quickly, otherwise it will be my turn sooner or later.
Elder Xiong, do you have any idea?"
"Lower your head." Elder Xiong thought with a slightly raised voice.
Fan Nuanyang subconsciously followed the instructions, even thinking that something had happened, and huddled together in fear.
There was no pain or roar as Fan Nuanyang expected, but Fan Nuanyang still dared not move while holding his head.
At this moment, my nerves were in a state of tension, so naturally I didn't notice an inquiring look outside an inconspicuous secret door.
The young man felt his arms feel slightly hot and asked casually: "Who is in that cage?"
"It's just a random person caught by his subordinates."
"Really? You really don't have much courage." After saying that, he seemed to have no interest in her. He continued to play with the wooden cards in a boring way, and listened casually to Zhisou's introduction about the monsters inside.
The young man casually echoed a few words without interest.
The two of them did not change their expressions at all because of the environment inside. The young man even praised the monster's appetite when he saw the monster above. He completely ignored the numerous cocoons next to the monster, and even the remains of some cocoons exposed.
The body also ignored it, as if it were just the flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.
Zhi Sou introduced him dutifully and was not angry at all when he saw the young man's perfunctory attitude. He closed the secret door and continued to lead the way.
Fan Nuanyang waited for a long time but there was no movement. His courage seemed to have recovered a lot, and he began to ask what happened.
Elder Xiong said enigmatically: "Of course you will be free soon."
As for how to do it specifically, Elder Xiong did not explain clearly.
The further you go in, the fewer and fewer the guards become, but the strength of the guards is much higher than before.
"Sir, please admire my latest new treasure." He said with a somewhat proud tone.
The young man said with some anticipation: "Really? Then I have to appreciate Zhisou's treasure."
The young man walked out from behind Zhisou and saw the motionless child hanging on the high platform.
The child looks a bit fat and pale, with his eyes closed and motionless. If it is just like this, there is nothing novel about it. It is no different from ordinary children.
But if you look down, you can see something is wrong. The most eye-catching thing is the dense holes in his limbs and torso.
There seemed to be something moving inside the hole.
The unsuspecting boy frowned unconsciously, after all, he could sense that the child was still alive.
The young man said lightly: "Zhi Sou, this treasure is a bit novel, but it is inevitably a bit uncomfortable."
Zhisou clapped his hands, and soon his subordinates walked in with tools.
The man skillfully picked up the knife and turned it, bringing the small bowl closer. Then he picked the tip of the knife into the hole, and the fat white worm that had been squirming was brought into the bowl intact, along with the remaining ones.
Some light yellow liquid.
The man raised the knife and quickly repeated the operation on both sides, then took out a medicine bottle from his waist, picked three sesame-sized objects with the tip of a needle and put them into the empty hole, and finally sprinkled the medicine powder skillfully.
Finally, he respectfully held the small bowl and offered it with both hands.
Zhisou pointed at the small bowl and said with a smile, "My lord, please give it a try."
The young man's fingertips moved slightly, and a small insect floated up and approached slowly. Then the insect began to shrivel up, until it finally completely disappeared into the air.
The young man realized it carefully and said, "It seems that my spiritual power has increased."
"That's what's so precious about him."
"Is there anything strange about this child?"
"I just caught it with my hands. I just accidentally discovered that he can keep these bugs alive."
"I didn't expect that mortal children could have such an effect."
"Of course, this can be considered an accident. I wonder if I could ask you to name it."
"Just call it a human nest. It will suit the occasion."
"How's the aftermath going?"
"Don't worry, sir, there is no one at home anymore."
"As expected, we can rest assured that you will do your job!"
"Zhisou will naturally not let down your lords' trust."
The young man quickly absorbed the spiritual power of the remaining two insects, and then sighed with some pity: "It's a pity, there is a little less."
