"Second brother, what's the matter?" After setting off from Heisongzhai, the second brother Yinhu looked solemn and behaved strangely. From time to time, he fell to the end of the team. He stopped and looked at the way he came. He looked very worried when he saw Yinhu.
Fox Mata hung at the end of the team without making a sound, while Bao Xiong turned back a few steps and asked.
"I had a relationship with that 'Crazy Scar' before, and I saw him looking unkind yesterday, so I'm afraid something might get into trouble." Silver Fox said with a heavy heart.
Silver Fox was extremely shocked when he suddenly saw "Crazy Scar" yesterday. The reason why he didn't commit the final murder was because he saw that "Crazy Scar" had been seriously injured and was not going to die soon, and the two of them usually had a good relationship, so he couldn't bear to kill him for a moment.
, let it fend for itself.
"Are you afraid that he will follow us secretly and cause mischief?" Bao Xiong did not ask what the grudge between Silver Fox and that "Crazy Scar" was, and said solemnly.
"Yeah!" Silver Fox nodded, "Crazy Scar" must have hated him deeply.
"Second brother, don't worry. Before you came back, the eldest brother and I were still very afraid of them. Now that you're back, I don't think they have the guts to come and make trouble." Yan Bao, the second leader of Yakou Village, and
Liu Yu and Xuanshan saw that the two of them were lagging behind, so they stopped and waited for them.
"Having said that, it's better to be careful. Dar, you stay behind and hide, and see if anyone is following us!" Even if the "Mad Dog Society" gang catches up, they won't be their opponents, but these
Everyone is a desperado, and the violent bear thinks it is better to be more careful.
"Yes!" Dar nodded in response. He is an elite member of Yakou Village. He is very familiar with the underground caves of "Fat Pig Ridge" and has been serving as a scout for the hunting team.
"If there is any abnormality, catch up immediately and report it, and be careful yourself!" Silver Fox warned uneasily and said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Silver Fox!" Dar said confidently, holding up his hand. He is the best scout of the hunting team. He takes the lead in searching and tracking prey on weekdays. If someone is following someone with ill intentions, he will definitely find it.
"What happened?" Liu Yu couldn't help but asked with a slight frown. Looking at this scene, combined with what he saw in the tavern yesterday, I'm afraid this trip will not be peaceful.
"Nothing, just leave a secret post to avoid being followed. Fellow Taoist, let's continue on our way!" Bao Xiong said with a laugh.
Afterwards, everyone continued on their way. They were still far away from the Flame Cave level and still had a long way to go. Daal was hanging far behind the group, and soon he slowly disappeared.
……
At the entrance of a narrow tunnel in an underground cave, Dahl hid in the shadow of a pile of rocks, holding his breath and staring at the long and narrow tunnel. The stone walls of the cave were dotted with various kinds of faint glistening lights, which were bright and dark.
Some fungi and mushrooms grow on special moss.
Dahl has been hanging far behind the hunting team. Several hours have passed and he has not found anything unusual. When he arrived at the narrow connection between the grotto and the mine, he stopped and hid behind a pile of rocks to see if anyone was really following them.<
/p>
The grotto in front is not big, and there are only some shrubs in the open area. It is clearly visible at a glance. If someone secretly follows the hunting team, he will be able to find it immediately.
"Sand, sand!" A quarter of an hour later, there was a slight movement at the entrance, which aroused Dar's vigilance. He saw a lazy "mourning dog" sniffing left and right in the grotto, then suddenly accelerated and pounced forward.
He pinned down a stone rat that sprang out from the bush.
"Ka, ka!" With the crisp sound of bone cracking, a plump stone rat fell into the belly of the mourning dog.
After a full meal, the mourning dog lay down on the bushes for a while, then stood up, shook its body, and slowly left the grotto backwards, gradually disappearing into the dark mine.
Dahl has been hiding in the dark and watching quietly. Evil spiritual beasts such as "mourning dogs" are not uncommon in underground grottoes. They often prey on various small spiritual beasts such as rabbits, rats, and minks.
It also likes to eat carrion, and its body is filled with a disgusting stench. When hunting this kind of dead dog in the village, its skin and flesh are usually sold for spiritual stones, and they are never kept for their own consumption.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, and seeing no other movement, Dahl walked out of the pile of rocks, affixed a "divine walking talisman" to himself, used the wind control technique with all his strength, and chased in the direction of the hunting team, thinking that he had waited so long.
It has been a long time, there is no abnormality, the hunting team should not be followed.
Because the various mines and forked roads in the underground caves are like a maze, and the spiritual consciousness here is interfered by the thick stone walls and various corners, it is extremely difficult to follow others.
It's fine for a short distance, but once the distance increases, it's too difficult to catch up. If you take a wrong turn, all your efforts will be wasted.
He has been waiting here for a full two-quarters of an hour. The hunting team has already gone far away. If anyone was following them, they would have appeared long ago. Otherwise, they would never have been able to keep up with them after being so far away.
You must know that the hunting team does not follow a straight mine road. Each mine road has seven or eight forks, and there are also forks among the forks. It is not easy to follow them.
Shortly after Dahl left, the mourning dog went away and came back again. Taking vigorous steps, he appeared at the entrance of the cave again, sniffed the residual scent in the air, and then moved in the direction Dahl left, as if
A ghost chased after him.
The group of people from Yakou Village walked in the underground grotto for nearly two days, stopping only twice to rest.
In the meantime, the temperature in the grottoes and mine tunnels is getting higher and higher, and the dense tree landscape is gradually decreasing. The wasteland landscape is mostly sparse bushes and piles of rocks. The further down you go, the more desolate it becomes.
Red hot magma began to flow out from the gaps in some of the cave walls. The overflowing magma gathered into a slowly flowing red "river", or accumulated into a pool to form a magma fire pool. It was obvious that everyone had arrived at the underground cave.
"Fire Cave Layer".
"We're almost there!" After walking for a long time in the intricately connected grottoes like a spider web, they came to a large canyon-like grotto. Yanbao said excitedly as he walked in the front.
"We're finally here!" Xuan Shankou said dryly after traveling for a long time in this hot and dry cave.
"Xiong Tou, you are finally here!" When a group of people walked to the corner of the middle of the grotto where there were lots of rocks, several people suddenly appeared from behind a pile of huge rocks.
"Are those two beasts still in the magma pool?" The violent bear stepped forward and asked hurriedly.
"It's still there. The male snake went out several times and dragged back a few "Red-haired Cave Bears". The female snake only swam out of the magma pool when she was eating." It turns out that these people are the sentinels who stayed here from Yakou Village.
Wei, monitoring the movements of the two "fire pythons" from a distance.
There is a narrow cave entrance behind the pile of rocks, and there is a large grotto inside the cave entrance. There is a huge magma pool at the bottom of the grotto.
The hot magma in the pool bubbles up from time to time. This magma pool occupies almost a quarter of this small grotto, turning the entire grotto into a natural furnace.
The stone wall above the magma pool has been scorched and cracked. If you look carefully, you can see fist-sized crystal stones glowing with dim red light through the cracks. They are fifth-level fire elements.
The weapon refining material "Red Flame Crystal".
It's just that the stone wall above has been baked by the heat of magma for many years, and the surface stones have solidified into gray-red, which is somewhat similar in color to the "Red Flame Crystals". If you don't look carefully, you really can't find these "Red Flame Crystals" embedded in the cracks.
”.
"Has anyone been here during this time?" Bao Xiong then asked.
"Several groups of people passed by. They didn't notice anything strange. They all passed by in a hurry." Among the few people staying here in Yakou Village, an old-looking man said.
"What are you waiting for? Go over now and kill these two beasts!" Xuanshan said in a loud voice.
"Fellow Taoist, don't be anxious. We have been traveling for so long and all the brothers are tired. Let's rest for a while to let the brothers recover some physical strength and mana. If something happens, we can take a long-term approach!"
The violent bear said soothingly, and then led everyone back a certain distance, away from the entrance of the cave, so as not to be smelled by the two "fire pythons" in the magma pool.
