Chapter 314

Village Head Hu himself has been down the mine three or four times, how could he not know the map in his hand was wrong?

Unless he gave it wrong on purpose. What kind of mind does this person have? Willow whispered: "I heard that reporting the mine crisis to Panlongcheng wasn't the idea of this Village Head Hu, but spread by two merchants, Village Head Hu was a bit unhappy about their unauthorized actions in the end."

A team member behind suddenly spoke: "Willow sister is right, the smell here is not good, a bit fishy."

Another person also said: "Seems a bit hot too."

Light can't shine in, like this bottom of the mountain should be cooler the further down you go. Some caves have cool wind blowing all year round, and surrounding residents go there to avoid the heat, and even have to put on long clothes if they stay for a while.

But this passage is actually getting hotter the further you go, and the air is stuffy, Willow's nose tip is slightly sweating, and the big men on the side also started to wipe their foreheads.

Could it be that there is geothermal heat below?

How is that possible, if the mine dares to open on a volcano, is it a rhythm of dragging everyone to die together?

Panlongcheng couldn't possibly not survey such a situation before opening the mine.

He Lingchuan suddenly raised the fluorescent grass and pressed it against the rock wall: "When did the tunnel wall become like this?"

Everyone looked closely, the originally pitch-black stone wall didn't know when it faded to gray-white, and countless roots were entangled, looking like blood vessels.

Pressing on it with his hand, he found that the stone wall was no longer cold, but very warm, and even had some elasticity.

Door Panel suddenly said: "We haven't seen fixed piles for a long time."

The safety factor of the mine is not high, after miners chisel out the passage, they often use wooden strips and wooden frames to support and reinforce it. They saw it every now and then along the way and didn't take it seriously, but they didn't seem to see a single one on this section of the road recently.

"We have been walking for more than a quarter of an hour, seems to have no end, always moving forward in such a passage." The team member behind said, "Could it be a ghost wall?"

"With Yuan power protection, magic is hard to do to us." Door Panel said in a deep voice, "Let's walk and see. Strange, if it's a maze, how can there be no side roads?"

He Lingchuan remained silent.

The strangeness of this mine passage has to do with the Jin Du ghost cubs. The two he hunted in Panlongcheng were not easy to fight, but they couldn't make such mysteries.

Can't even their Yuan power break such an illusion?

Sure enough, Dong Rui was right, "The later the ghost cubs are born, the greater their ability, all cheer up."

A section of uphill road ahead, everyone climbed to the top and found it was a ground crack opening, the height was only three feet, like a flat mouth.

To pass, you can only use hands and feet, crawl in on your stomach.

Willow, who had the slimmest figure, lowered her voice: "I'll go first."

Saying that, she supported with both hands and passed through the ground crack with a "whoosh," her figure as agile as a fish. If there were enemies ambushing on the side, they might not necessarily grasp the timing.

After she passed, she looked left and right, raising the fluorescent grass: "It's okay, come over."

Everyone then crawled over one by one.

He Lingchuan deliberately stayed behind to cushion.

When it was his turn, it was pitch black behind him, and there wasn't a single teammate left.

Prostrate on the ground means you can't draw weapons to defend yourself in this posture, so everyone must pass as quickly as possible.

He Lingchuan had just lain down when his lower leg tightened, something grabbed him and pulled him back violently! If others were grabbed by a ghost, the first reaction would definitely be to crawl forward desperately.

He Lingchuan didn't, his left hand pushed forward, and his body accelerated backward! The force pulling him was already great, and he added an acceleration himself, which was truly a double slide.

It was as if a fisherman was pulling the rod desperately, and as a result, a big fish in the sea jumped out and hit his forehead.

Whoever it was would be stunned.

The black hand pulling him didn't expect the prey to be so slippery, although it was a bit surprised, it didn't forget to scratch him.

It wasn't big, only three feet tall, very suitable for this narrow passage, but the claws that grew out were nearly one foot long, which could penetrate stone by three points, and it was even easier to cut open a flesh-and-blood body.

He Lingchuan didn't turn around, so it attacked his spine; if the prey turned around, it would be even better, it would send a big gift package of belly-splitting.

But it forgot a key point: short people have short hands.

He Lingchuan is a six-foot man, a pair of legs longer than its height.

This acceleration back was a kick fiercely on its belly! The monster's claws hadn't reached his hindquarters, and it was kicked seven feet away with a "ji" sound, crashing into the mountain wall.

He Lingchuan landed and spun, the knife was already in his hand, and a dim cold light lit up in the dark room.

Sharp, but without a sound.

The thing also knew it was powerful, turned over and hid, its movements as agile as a mouse chased by a cat.

But it still felt a chill and pain in its knee joint.

Below the joint, it was all cut off.

It screamed, the sound like a baby crying, that kind of high decibel superimposed in the refraction of the cave, shaking He Lingchuan's eardrums.

But this didn't hinder him from making the second cut.

The first cut was sharp, the second cut was full of spirit.

Keeping this thing alive was useless, he wanted to kill it with one blow.

Little did he know that this thing seemed to know it was powerful, and before it finished screaming, it leaned back and disappeared instantly.

He Lingchuan's cut hit the mountain wall with a "puck" sound, entering the stone by three feet.

Willow and Thin Guy heard the noise and hurried back, but left Door Panel and other patrol guards guarding the other side.

"Appeared?"

"Had one leg removed by me." He Lingchuan took out the fluorescent grass bundle and approached the stone wall, "It escaped from here."

"Here?" There wasn't even a crack on the stone wall.

Even if there was, it was just the knife mark He Lingchuan had just cut.

"It retreated into the stone wall, just like jumping into water." He Lingchuan picked up a broken vine with the tip of his knife, and as a result, dark red liquid flowed out of it.

All three smelled a strong bloody smell.

Willow was very surprised: "The mountain wall bleeds?"

Thin Guy pointed to the broken vine: "This is like a blood vessel."

All three were silent for a few breaths, and spoke at the same time: "This is real blood, not a trick!"

"This place is definitely not a mine!"

"Go back!"

He Lingchuan first denied Thin Guy's suggestion of "going back": "The other party designed us, I'm afraid there's no way back, wasting physical strength. The only way out is still ahead."

Not to mention this strange maze, if you encounter a ghost wall in the suburbs, the one you can't take is the way back.

Most dangers are behind you, people are just waiting for you to turn back.

He asked Willow again: "Is the liquid flowing out of the vine human blood?"

Willow sniffed carefully, even dipped a little with her finger to taste, and after a long time said: "A bit like, but not entirely."

"Where's the difference?"

"The iron taste is too strong. Although there is a rust taste in the blood itself."

"Go over." He Lingchuan pointed to the ground crack, "I'll still cushion."

This time everyone passed the ground crack again, and they were all safe and sound.

"At least we can be sure that the monster here is a Jin Du cub." Just one encounter, He Lingchuan had already seen the monster's face. Not to mention he had fought with its brother before, knowing that these monsters only had three fingers on their palms.

"Broken Blade, you are too arrogant, what if this monster digs your heart from behind?" Thin Guy complained, "If you unfortunately sacrifice, wouldn't I have to reluctantly be the captain?"

He Lingchuan glanced at him: "You don't want to?"

"Uh..." Is it too unmotivated to say no? He Lingchuan took out a broken shovel from his back and shook it in front of him: "Didn't you ask you to bring this?"

The low house outside the cave had nothing else, but a lot of production tools. He had fought with Jin Du ghost cubs more than once, and understood that these things liked to attack people's vital points, such as eyes, throat, heart, and abdomen, so he asked his teammates to bend an iron shovel before entering the cave, throw it away if there is nothing, and use it as a heart protector if there is something.

Willow didn't care about this, because she originally wore a small heart protector, exchanged for merit, with good quality.

He Lingchuan also decided that he would exchange for a set of high-defense armor from the Pengcheng Office when he went back this time.

Door Panel couldn't help but say: "Where the hell are we!"

"This is not an illusion, it should be the nest created by the Jin Du ghost, they are most used to fighting here, and can even come and go freely, hiding their shapes at will." He Lingchuan added, "Just now I chopped a knife on the stone wall, and I could feel it shrink suddenly, as if it were in pain."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone had a strange look on their faces.

Thin Guy screamed: "You guys shouldn't be thinking the same thing as me, right?"

Willow said irritably: "These are all newborn cubs, where else can their most accustomed nest be!"

Of course it's in the mother's womb!

That is to say...

Door Panel tightened his grip on the big axe, turned around and walked forward: "Hurry up and chop those little monsters, this place really can't stay."

A team member behind suggested: "If this place was created by the Jin Du ghost... that place, we are destroying it here, will they appear?"

Door Panel nodded: "Good idea!" He raised his hand and chopped four or five axes on the mountain wall.

Willow looked at his actions, wanting to speak but stopping.

Fresh blood flowed in the stone, and he also felt the feeling of the stone wall shrinking as if in pain, as He Lingchuan said.

Immediately, the whole passage began to shake, as if the mine was about to collapse.

"Okay, hurry up!" Willow pushed Door Panel, "Don't be crushed to death here!"

The passage began to shrink and roll, even worse than a collapse—standing in the wrong place might be squeezed to death.

Everyone ran wildly with all their might, and in the middle, they encountered the passage shrinking several times, Door Panel, who was the tallest and strongest, was almost caught, and it was He Lingchuan and other team members who dragged him out with all their might.

Otherwise, he would probably have been squeezed into meat paste.

Willow glared at him: "Good idea, huh?" Can this guy think more before doing it, don't follow others blindly.

Door Panel was in the wrong, touched his nose and didn't dare to make a sound.

Don't know if that Jin Du cub was scared by He Lingchuan, otherwise it should have come out to show its presence during the chaos, and by the way, add trouble to everyone.

Fortunately, the exit was ahead, He Lingchuan just rushed to the cave entrance when he felt his feet empty, and his body fell.

Damn it, there was a hollow space below suddenly.

Fortunately, he was prepared, his waist and legs exerted force, forcibly stopping the momentum of leaning forward.

The fluorescent grass bundle probed downward, and the space ahead suddenly opened up, actually a very wide space.

At least within the range of light, no end was seen.
