Chapter 37 River Marsh Bamboo Forest
Chapter 37 River Marsh Bamboo Forest
Yu Qing turned to look at Lin Mian.
Lin Mian was holding a corner of Bai Maomao in his hand, and his fingertips seemed to be a little tense because of nervousness.A panic flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Yu Qingsui felt her throat tighten for no reason.But he adjusted quickly, so that no one could see any changes.
"You keep it," he said.
"Oh good." Lin Mian was a little embarrassed, and wrapped the scarf around herself again. "I'm afraid that if senior brother is cold—if senior brother uses it, let me know, and I'll give it to you."
Yu Qingsui is not cold.I won't bring this kind of thing either.
But what would happen if he agreed to Lin Mian.
If you use this kind of thing with your junior brother...how ridiculous.Yu Qingsui drove this funny thought out of her mind, and continued to walk forward without saying a word.
Lin Mian followed beside him: "Brother, where are we going?"
"The middle of the bamboo forest. The more dangerous the place is, the more likely it is to hide there."
Lin Mian thought for a moment, then quickened her pace and came to Yu Qingsui's side, pointing to the direction where a bamboo grows sparsely.
"Brother, can we go over there?"
"Why?" Yu Qing raised the corners of her eyes.
Lin Mian replied, "Because...intuition."
"intuition?"
"Ah."
Lin Mian can't talk about his ability, but he hopes that his brother can find Xing Pei sooner. "I have a good intuition sometimes, and I have been like this since I was a child."
Yu Qing glanced over with questioning eyes and paused for a moment without refuting anything.
"Let's go."
From Yu Qingsui's point of view, Lin Mian does have something special.Although it is usually reflected in causing trouble.
But now that I'm here, there's nothing to worry about.
The meteorite-like thing that Lin Mian sensed through the sand was almost in the middle of the bamboo forest.The distance is not too short, and it took some time on the road.
Passed a swift river, a hilly country, and slippery marshes.
It's strange that they didn't encounter anything unnatural.
This is of course a good thing... but it makes people feel that something is not right.
I didn't meet any contestants, and I didn't encounter any strange animals. I didn't even meet the rumored difficult Westland plants.
——If this bamboo forest is just huge, then why did you choose this place for the competition?This is totally unreasonable.How to explain those seniors who have been here before and were injured or even disappeared later?
As a result, when Lin Mian found the place he was looking for, they finally saw a very unnatural scene.
It was a steep mountain range.Above it are seven caves as dark and deep as rat holes.Each one is dark and bottomless.There is a dangerous atmosphere everywhere.
Yu Qingsui stopped and frowned slightly: "You said here?"
He remembered the spot on the map.But drawing on a map is far less weird than appearing in front of your eyes.
Lin Mian nodded.
"It's almost in this direction...but this place looks... a bit scary." He murmured, "Brother, shall we go and have a look?"
Yu Qingsui grabbed his arm.
"and many more."
Yu Qing swept down with her gaze, and picked up a stone on the ground.Use a levitation spell to make it fly into the cave.
As a result, as soon as Shizi entered the cave, he heard an astonishing vibration in the cave—it seemed as if tens of thousands of birds were flapping their wings, which made people shudder.
Yu Qingsui vaguely sensed something, and then gathered his strength to pull the stone out of the cave.What came out along with the stones was——
"Hiss." Lin Mian covered her mouth and subconsciously took a step closer to Yu Qingsui.
Black polygonal wings, mouse-like face, scarlet eyes.
There are countless bats pouring out of the cave like a tide—at least tens of thousands of bats.They chased the rolling stones, and they slapped and collided one by one, forming a black hurricane.
It wasn't until the small stones stopped on the ground that they seemed to have lost their target prey. After staying for a while, they rushed back to the cave, hidden in the depths and disappeared.
After a long time, Yu Qing said coldly, "Sure enough, there is such a thing."
He looked sideways at Lin Mian: "Are you all right?"
Although Lin Mian did not like such animals, he was not afraid of them.The main amount was too staggering to make him a little physically uncomfortable.
"It's nothing." He replied, "It's just...how could there be so many."
"It's not just much." Yu Qingsui pointed out sharply, "Did you see the rock coming out of it?"
It was only when Lin Mian was asked this that he noticed the rock—unexpectedly, there were only a few fragments left.
This kind of bat can even eat rocks, let alone people.
He suddenly felt a headache.But...but according to the direction the sand pointed, the Xing Pei was probably inside these caves.
"Brother, I think we should either try to smoke them out with fire. Bats are afraid of fire. Or like just now, they seem to catch moving things, so we can manipulate something to make them chase them out, and then we will follow into the cave..." Lin Mian thought about a solution.
Yu Qingsui did not agree with this opinion.
"It doesn't have to be that much trouble," he said.
Lin Mian turned her head in confusion.
Even if it is a senior brother, such a number of bats cannot be dealt with by one person.
But Yu Qingsui has already unsheathed the sword, so that the sword reaches the sky.
"Come here," he said.
"what?"
"Stay closer to me." Yu Qingsui said again, "It's easy to accidentally hurt."
Lin Mian didn't understand what the senior brother was going to do, but after saying that, he obediently leaned towards the senior brother and stuck to his side.
With the sword hanging in front of him, Yu Qingsui put his index finger on the middle finger and recited the spell in a low voice.
The fairy gate spells are classified according to each person's spiritual root.Yu Qingsui has two spiritual roots, one is wind and the other is thunder.
He was chanting a spell that summoned thunder.With a rustle, a blue light shot out from the sword, calling the sword to the sky.In an instant, dark clouds rolled over the sky, and several golden lightning bolts lit up within the clouds. The lightnings drilled out of the clouds and immediately gathered into a huge golden ball of light, which fell towards the ground.
Only then did Yu Qingsui grab the hilt of the sword, and at the same time the power of the thunder struck the sword, the body of the sword turned into a scorching golden color, and streaks of lightning flashed everywhere.Yu Qingsui was worried that the blasted lightning would hurt the people behind him, so he turned his back to protect Lin Mian with one hand.
He swung his sword forward, and the lightning on the sword turned into several currents, which flashed into several caves in front of him at the same time.
If human ears can hear ultrasonic waves, then the miserable screams in the cave at this moment must make people instantly deaf.
But Lin Mian only heard countless wings flapping, terrified fleeing, and sounds like hitting a wall within a few seconds.
After the sound ended, the cave became deadly silent.
To be on the safe side, Yu Qing then threw in another stone.Except for the sound of the rock itself falling to the ground, there was no movement in the cave.
At the same time, Yu Qingsui found that there was no sound behind her.He couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and looked back.
Lin Mian's face was very stiff, and Yu Qingsui was a little worried.
"how?"
Lin Mian was dumbfounded: "Brother... I will never make you angry again."
With a puff, Yu Qingsui was rarely amused by these words.
"You should have known."
Yu Qing saw that Lin Mian was allergic to this kind of animal, so he said that he would not let Lin Mian enter the cave with him.But Lin Mian insisted on going along with him no matter what.
So the two entered the cave together.
The ground was covered with limp black bodies. For Lin Mian, this journey was like a torture.However, seeing Lin Mian thinking about his toes and trembling his calves, Yu Qingsui thought it was a bit funny and cute, so he didn't say that he could actually blow these things away with the wind.
When Lin Mian felt that his legs were about to cramp and wanted to give up struggling, the things on the ground were suddenly swept away by the unknown wind.Lin Mian froze for a moment, then looked at his senior brother suspiciously.
Yu Qingsui said with a serious face, "Go on."
Lin Mian touched the back of his head, and felt that the senior brother should not be a dark-bellied person.He left without saying anything.
The seven caves are connected internally, which is a very complicated maze.But under Lin Mian's "intuition", the journey went smoothly.At the third turn, Lin Mian turned right and came to a dead end.A black star pendant was seen on the ground at the end of the passage.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
Lin Mian squatted on the ground and picked up the star pendant, turning around to show off to his senior brother.But as soon as he turned his head, a slender hand patted the top of his head lightly.
"The sense of smell is very good." Yu Qing followed suit.
Lin Mian was silent for a while, wanting to quibble that this is not due to the sense of smell.But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he was right, because his current mood really wanted to wag his tail...if he had one.
Lin Mian puffed up and didn't try to quibble. When he handed the star pendant to his senior brother, he suddenly found a line of words engraved on the back of it.
"Hey, what does this say?"
Yu Qing turned over the star pendant to look at it.
"This is the writing used by the tribe left behind by Meteor, which is the same as the one that appeared earlier. Only their people can understand this kind of writing. But this thing should not be related to the content in the level."
"I guess it looks good as a pattern." Lin Mian didn't take it seriously, and got up to go out, "Brother, let's go out quickly, those bat monsters in the cave are disgusting... help me clear the way, okay?"
Lin Mian begged.
"Okay." Yu Qingsui narrowed her eyes slightly.
They didn't know that at the same time another thing happened outside the venue.
Outside the bamboo forest, there are many people patrolling for the conference. They cannot enter the bamboo forest, but they can guarantee the safety of people who leave the bamboo forest.
A patroller was turning around quietly when he suddenly heard screams in the forest.Then a young man ran out in a daze, his whole body was swollen as if he had been beaten for several years, it was very miserable.
"Help me, save me!" he yelled.
The patrol immediately tensed up.Then he saw countless bees chasing out from the bamboo forest... There were so many that it made one's scalp tingle.
However, as the elders of Sanmen, the patrolmen are all excellent talents.The man tried several forces, and finally covered all the bees with a ball of glue, making them stick to the ground.
After dealing with the bees, the patrolmen hurried back to the original entrance with the young man, and learned the identity of the injured young man.His name is Chen Fa, a member of the Demon Cult.The patrolmen hurriedly sent Chen Fa to the doctor.
The leader of the Demon Cult saw that his student was the first to be eliminated. Although the student was seriously injured, he was so angry that he couldn't even say a word of comfort.When he was about to leave the room gloomyly, Chen Fa tried his best to open his swollen eyes, and took out a black star pendant from his pocket.
"Teacher, leader, I took... I got a piece..."
These words instantly attracted everyone's attention.The leader Li Mengzhao immediately relaxed a lot, took the star pendant, and felt a little more balanced.
When he turned over the star pendant, he also saw that line of text.
"Where are the old gentlemen? Oh here—" he asked, "what does it mean?"
An old man with a white beard, a descendant of the Meteor Clan, came over.He originally looked kind, but the moment he received the star pendant, confusion and anxiety flashed across his face.
"This is written..." He stared at his old eyes, and read a little cautiously, "'When the first one is eliminated, everything has just begun...'"
The room was silent.
