It is the first time for Yun Xi to travel freely in the monster's lair. Unfortunately, she does not have enough time to enjoy it. Now she must find a way to break the trial.
The strong smell of monsters rushed towards me, and the smell here was even more disgusting than that of the small tunnel.
When she stood on the top and looked down at the bottom just now, Yun Xi had already memorized the layout below, but due to the light and eyesight, it was still difficult to see everything clearly from a few hundred meters away.
‘Let’s go to the stone bowl in the middle first!’
Yun Xi stepped lightly and jumped up lightly. Relying on the shelter of the towering stone bowls around him, Yun Xi quickly reached the center position safely.
After looking around, Yun Xi jumped up and jumped into the giant lizard's nest shaped like a stone bowl.
There are no baby lizards or lizard eggs here.
Yun Xi stood among them, gently pushing aside the weeds and gravel underneath, and then saw several pieces of amazingly high-quality flame sulfur crystals.
I don’t know if this has something to do with the trial, but Yun Xi is too lazy to care about it! Anyway, I won’t suffer any loss if I accept it.
These lizards have chased her so many times, so it's understandable that she steals a few of their treasures.
Reciprocity is the long-term friendly way for living beings to get along with each other!
After finding nothing else, Yun Xi peeked out from the stone bowl and looked around. The prompt given by the system was only "dark night", so what happens after arriving in this "dark night" place?
She couldn't possibly inspect every lizard nest, right? By the time she finished searching, she would have been surrounded by the monitor lizards who had driven back, and she didn't want to be eaten.
With this idea in mind, Yun Xi began to think again.
If "dark night" does not refer to the dark night, then does the forest really refer to the forest?
Yun Xi began to analyze the meaning contained in "forest". If "forest" implies something else, what would it mean? A lush place?
Yun Xi looked at the narrow tributaries of magma flowing on the ground and had a guess in his mind.
‘Could it be a place where magma flows out?’
Yunxi decided to go and have a look.
Approaching the slow-flowing tributary of magma, Yun Xi judged the flow direction of the magma, and then ran upstream. Watching out the few old, weak, sick and disabled lizards along the way, Yun Xi quickly reached the upper reaches of the magma.
The tributaries meandered upwards and finally converged at one point. Yun Xi frowned as he looked at the lava river nearly ten meters wide flowing out from under the wall in front of him.
The source of the tributary continues to move forward, but there is no feasible way.
‘Do you want to jump?’
Yun Xi looked at the rolling lava and felt a gurgling sound in her throat.
With her current strength, she could probably survive for a minute and a half if she jumped into magma of this temperature, but the question is, can she find an exit in such a short period of time?
This is underground, and no one is sure how thick the wall in front of them is!
"Hiss..."
There was a slight hissing sound from behind, and Yun Xi slowly turned her head. Three half-human-high monitor lizards were watching her quietly.
"Thinking too hard...forgot to pay attention to the surroundings."
Yun Xi looked embarrassed. She waved to the monitor lizards with a stiff smile: "Um, hello, I'm just here to study the geological environment of the desert. Yun Xiaoxi, a geologist, could you please tell me how to go upstream of this magma?
”
"Hiss——"
The giant lizard spat out letters, with a pair of faint beast eyes.
Maple!!!
They suddenly raised their bodies and pounced on Yun Xi.
Yun Xi, who had expected it, quickly dodged.
"Bullying the minority with more, they are really a bunch of lizards with no martial ethics!"
Yun Xi is ready to pick up the sword.
But before she could fight back, she was surprised to find that the monitor lizards did not pounce on her again, but instead bumped into the wall.
Boom!!
Rubbles flew everywhere, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and a small hole slowly emerged.
Yun Xi opened her eyes wide.
The monitor lizards turned their heads and looked at her quietly.
Yun Xi seemed to understand what they meant. She pointed to the entrance of the cave: "You mean, go in from here?"
Whoops!
A giant lizard swung its big head in the direction of the cave entrance.
"Can you go to the upper flow of magma from here?"
Yun Xi still felt a little unbelievable.
The monitor lizard became a little impatient. It twitched its tail heavily on the ground, and then pointed in the direction of the cave.
It seems to be saying: "Can you stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get in."
"..."
Although he didn't quite understand why the behavior of these giant lizards was different from what he had guessed, Yun Xi still walked towards the entrance of the cave. Since it was a trial, it was understandable that some incredible things happened.
But when she reached the entrance of the cave, Yun Xi stopped again.
"What..."
The three monitor lizards tilted their heads in confusion.
Yun Xi took out the red flame sulfur crystals one by one. She said a little embarrassedly: "I just stole some of your treasures and gave them back to you."
The monitor lizard raised its head slightly and stared at Yun Xi.
One person and three animals just looked at each other quietly.
Finally, the giant lizard with rich body language took two steps forward. It stood on its legs and raised its body with an imposing momentum. It was more than half a body taller than Yun Xi.
Then he looked down at Yun Xi.
While the spiritual power in Yun Xi's body was secretly operating, the giant lizard's tail swept across the flame sulfur crystals on the ground. Dozens of flame sulfur crystals were recovered, leaving only four in front of Yun Xi.
The monitor lizard flicked at Yun Xi's feet with its tail.
"These four are for me?" Yun Xi was a little surprised.
The monitor lizard nodded.
Yun Xi took the flame sulfur crystal and put it away. The look on her face was still a bit puzzled: "But, not only did I steal your treasure, I also accidentally killed one of your compatriots on the ground before... Damn it!"
p>
Bang!!!
The giant lizard swept its giant tail towards Yun Xi. Yun Xi quickly dodged and rushed directly into the small hole.
Then the monitor lizard slapped its tail hard against the rock wall, the gravel fell, and the entrance to the cave was blocked.
Yun Xi took out a flashlight in the dark cave to illuminate behind her. Looking at the blocked entrance, she felt a rare sense of peace.
"Sure enough, this is a normal reaction."
With no way out, Yun Xi can only continue to move forward.
Just the opposite of when we came down, this time the tunnel slopes upward and winds up, making it difficult to walk. But the good news is that there is no strong smell of monsters here.
Holding on to the wall and walking forward, Yun Xi gasped slightly.
"I always feel like I'm like a gopher today, either in a cave or in a burrow."
Yun Xi smiled and laughed at herself.
"Come on, gophers can at least dig their own holes, and you can only drill holes made by others."
Yi Meng came out to taunt her appropriately.
"There's so much nonsense, go to bed!"
"Ha! I've already discovered it, Yun Xi!"
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows: "What did you find?"
"As a female Twoleg, you are not a lady at all!"
A dream complained loudly in her mind!
"Lady, you are so big! Before I became a woman, I was a man for thirty years! Damn it, get out of here!"
There was no one else around, and since Yi Meng knew her own confidence, Yun Xi was rarely able to be generous.
Lady?
She, Yun Xiaoxi, has never thought about being a lady when she grows up!!!
