"I have an ominous premonition." After walking for a while, Jiang Xiao whispered.
Xia Yan on the side also had a serious expression. Indeed, it has been a long time since everyone has been heading north.
"I think we still..." Before Jiang Xiao finished speaking, Xia Yan stretched out her hand and blocked Jiang Xiao's chest.
"Hush." Xia Yan signaled Jiang Xiao to keep quiet, and at the same time bowed her body slightly.
Jiang Xiao bent down subconsciously, looked around vigilantly, and seemed to hear some "ding ding dong dong" sounds.
Xia Yan clenched her fist and raised it high, while Han Jiangxue and Li Weiwei behind them also lightened their steps.
Xia Yan hooked her fingers at Jiang Xiao, and tiptoed forward.
Under Xia Yan's leadership, Jiang Xiao lay on the ground, pushed aside the half-height grass, hid behind a big tree, and looked forward secretly.
There is a savage cooking?
It should be water, right? If it was food, Jiang Xiao should be able to smell the aroma before he heard the sound.
This also showed the strength of the four members of the team, and they were about to walk up to each other's faces, only to realize that there was something strange.
If Erwei was by his side, he probably would have discovered the situation around him early on.
"What's wrong, why is there only one person?" Xia Yan frowned and whispered, staring intently at the savage who was boiling water in a stone pot in the distance, "Did you find his companion?"
Jiang Xiao shook his head, and searched the surroundings carefully, for fear that he had already entered the encirclement, but after a while, there was still no sign of any enemies.
The male savage's face was resolute, with braids on the back of his head, bare chest, and various scars on his body, making him look extremely mighty.
His figure is also outrageous, he is sweating profusely, his strong body seems to be coated with a layer of grease, and Jiang Xiao is envious of his neatly arranged six-pack abs.
The male savage wore animal skin underpants, and stepped barefoot in the wasteland with sparse weeds. In front of him was a cluster of small bonfires, built with stones to form a circle, and a stone pot was placed on top of it.
There are also several stone bowls around him.
Such a picture is indeed a bit weird.
Han Jiangxue and Li Weiwei also touched it quietly, carefully observing the male savage in the distance.
"After I go back, I have to absorb a detection technique for everything I say, sight, smell, hearing, no matter which one is fine." Xia Yan whispered.
Han Jiangxue responded: "Don't be impatient. After you upgrade to the Galaxy stage, you will regret it later if you absorb the star detection skills of the gold grade and the silver grade."
"Then let Xiaopi..." Xia Yan's words stopped abruptly, and she suddenly thought that Jiang Xiao can improve the quality of star skills, so it doesn't matter if it is gold or brass.
But Xia Yan thought about it, Jiang Xiao only had 9 star slots, so she dismissed this idea. Jiang Xiao's star slots are indeed too precious, and one star slot should not be wasted on probing skills.
Unless Jiang Xiao wanted to, she shouldn't put any pressure on Jiang Xiao.
While everyone was secretly watching, the wild man stroked the long braid on the back of his head with both hands, grabbed the handle of the stone pot with his ruthless iron hands, and poured boiling water into the stone bowl.
He put the stone pot on the bonfire again, held the stone bowl in both hands, turned and walked back.
Everyone looked far away and saw a natural cave in the hill behind.
Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan looked at each other, but they heard Han Jiangxue beside him say, "Let's go and have a look."
Everyone touched it quietly, walked through the open area of the forest, passed the stone pot that was still boiling with mist, and quietly came to the cave beside the mountain bag.
Xia Yan poked her head out and looked inside, but she could only see darkness.
Li Weiyi looked at it and said, "This narrow tunnel is very suitable for us to rush in. There are at most 2 or 3 enemies in front of us, and we will not be beaten by groups."
Han Jiangxue nodded, understood what Li Weiwei meant, and said to Xia Yan, "Open the way."
Xia Yan looked at the width of the tunnel, tugged at Jiang Xiao's palm, and said, "Xiao Pi, stay with my sister. I will use a knife, and you will use a dagger."
"No problem." Jiang Xiao responded, holding the wooden blade behind his back, and took out a sharp dagger from the side of his leg.
Compared to the brass-quality Lv.6 Xia family's knife skills, Jiang Xiao's dagger proficiency is only silver-quality Lv.0. Compared with the knife skills, Jiang Xiao's dagger skills are more exquisite, and not even a little bit stronger.
There is a qualitative difference between silver quality and brass quality.
Xia Yan tiptoed forward, the tunnel route of this cave was not easy to walk, the ground was full of gravel, and she didn't know how that male savage walked in barefoot just now.
As everyone went deeper into the tunnel, the light gradually dimmed.
Xia Yan kept holding the giant blade on her shoulder with her right hand, and stretched out her left hand. A tiny fire snake crawled out of that slender white palm, and it moved between her fingers, dexterously moving back and forth.
In the end, Xia Yan's left hand was covered in flames, bringing a glimmer of light into the dark tunnel.
How long and deep is this tunnel?
suddenly,
Everyone felt the ground under their feet shaking slightly.
what's going on?
Everyone was shocked, indeed, the earth was shaking slightly.
earthquake?
How far is the earthquake center from the surface? That's why you're trembling slightly?
"Damn it, the army is crossing the border." Xia Yan's complexion suddenly changed, and she whispered.
Jiang Xiao: "What?"
Xia Yan hurriedly responded: "Did you forget the picture of the white ghost army crossing the border in the snow field?"
Jiang Xiao was speechless slightly, he will never forget that scene in his life.
What kind of army is it that can make everyone who goes deep into the cave feel the ground tremble?
"Shall we go out?" Xia Yan looked back at Han Jiangxue.
"No, keep going." Han Jiangxue made a quick decision, she didn't think there would be good results if she went out.
In comparison, in this cave, they can completely blow up the place and block the tunnel, and it is safe to go out after the army passes through the border.
only......
Hai Tianqing...
He is so strong, he should have noticed something is wrong, he will come in soon, right?
It's okay to turn around and flee, but considering the width of the lineup of the white ghost army in the snowy field, this is the safest place.
"Li Weiwei, go to the entrance of the cave and call Hai Tianqing. Go and return quickly. If necessary, you can directly blow up the tunnel after entering to block the entrance." Han Jiangxue said.
"Received." With a flame burning in his hand, Li Weiyi hurriedly returned to the entrance, lighting up the way he came.
In the team, Xia Yan and Li Weiyi both possessed the scorching star skill, while Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao did not have conventional lighting methods.
Han Jiangxue can condense fireballs, and Jiang Xiao can have blessing light and lighting, but the star skills of Li Weiyi and Xia Yan are more convenient.
Behind was the sound of Li Wei's leaving footsteps, and there was actually the sound of footsteps coming from the front. The sound of the footsteps falling was very soft, but the sound of kicking the gravel on the ground was very clear.
Han Jiangxue hurried forward, opened the broken space in front of Xia Yan, and then gestured to Xia Yan with his eyes.
Xia Yan understood, and hurriedly extinguished the flame in her hand, and the tunnel was plunged into darkness.
The light footsteps were getting closer and closer.
The three of them concentrated and held their breath, finally, they saw a pair of eyes exuding a strange purple light.
But although the pupils were emitting light, they didn't seem to have night vision function.
In the pitch-black tunnel, it seems that there are only two eyes floating in the air, and the picture is extremely strange.
The savage held the tunnel wall with one hand, seemed to be very anxious, and walked forward quickly.
Suddenly, the pair of purple eyes floating in mid-air stopped, and three meters away from the crowd, the pair of purple eyes exuded a strange light, and roared in the direction of the crowd.
In the darkness, the three of them couldn't see each other at all, and Xia Yan couldn't understand what order Han Jiangxue was going to give.
Therefore, the tunnel is still quiet.
Jiang Xiao clenched the dagger tightly, but saw the pair of purple eyes turn around, as if... turned around and ran away?
"Wait, I'll close the space!" Han Jiangxue said suddenly, breaking the silence.
She hastily closed the space fragmentation, if everyone in the team strayed into the space fragmentation during the chase, the fun would be great.
Han Jiangxue said again: "Chasing!"
Xia Yan's hands were burning with flames again, and she hurriedly chased forward.
At the same time, behind everyone, there was an earth-shattering rumbling sound.
The whole tunnel trembled.
Along with the trembling of the tunnel at the rear entrance, in front of everyone, in the tunnel of unknown depth and length, a female voice came from far away.
The woman's voice was stern,
It seems to be questioning something, and it seems to be cursing something,
The voice reverberated in the tunnel, lingering for a long time,
do not know why,
In Jiang Xiao's mind,
Already imagined the face of Ye Lanxiang, the teacher in charge...
