Looking around, I peeked inside a narrow cave. At the entrance of the cave was a simple mountain temple made of mountain stones, the size of my own shrine. There was a small clay figurine enshrined inside, with three heads and six arms, but the facial features could not be seen.
Clearly, there were no tributes, only a few scattered animal bones.
Shui Xiaowu took a sip of water, stood up and vented his anger towards a big tree. The heat was rising, he shivered, and he hummed in comfort.
Just as he lifted up his pants, he turned around and saw Ma Ningshuang standing at the entrance of the cave, her face turned aside and she shouted: "My little ancestor, come back quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, a strange vine-like hand suddenly stretched out from the hole and pulled Ma Ningshuang in.
After a scream, she calmed down again. The moment the strange hand pulled her in, I rushed forward, but only caught a section of her trouser leg.
I looked at the low mountain temple in horror. It was extremely dark inside, and my scalp was numb. What kind of monster could it be that could drag such a big living person in?
I unconsciously took a step back. At this time, Shui Xiaowu had already pulled out his sharp sword, patted his forehead with his big hand, and sighed dejectedly.
Looking at his appearance, he seemed to know what the monster was, so he quickly asked: "What is that rattan?"
"What a damn rattan, those are the hands of the Mountain God!" Shui Xiaowu said to me as he approached the entrance of the cave.
My weird clay sculpture, I don’t know what kind of evil god it is, and it shouldn’t be a master that is easy to mess with. Shui Xiaowu lay down at the entrance of the hole, trying to get in, but it got stuck at the entrance of the hole, so he had no choice but to pull half of his body back.
"What kind of mountain god is that? Why are you arresting people alive?"
"That's a hunter who hunts in the mountains all year round. He often encounters an evil beast in the mountains called the Barren Mountain Squid. It often robs living people. This is not autumn anymore. That damn Wanying is saving winter food!" Shui Xiaowu stomped his feet.
said.
When I heard that winter food was being stored, it meant that Ma Ningshuang was not in danger for the time being, but who knew whether the "squids" would be killed and dried, or whether they would be left to starve to death.
Even if she didn't starve to death, she would have suffocated to death in the hole. I was heartbroken and asked Shui Xiaowu for a flashlight. If I couldn't save her, I had to leave the girl's body intact.
Shui Xiaowu didn't hesitate. He handed me the flashlight, took out a hunting knife, patted my shoulder, and said, "Sure enough, heroes come from young. I'm too big to get in, so I'm counting on you."
"
I felt depressed for a while after listening to it. They say people are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong. They really thought I was a master. Unfortunately, I had already said the words and couldn’t take them back, so I took the hunting knife and flashlight, turned around and got into the low place.
A short cave, crawling forward.
The stench in the cave choked me and I couldn't breathe. I didn't know what was ahead. The huge psychological pressure and harsh environment made me lose my judgment on the direction.
I have been crawling for an unknown amount of time. I just want to hurry up and get out of the cave. The cuffs have been worn out at some point. If I keep crawling like this, I will wear it to the bone. I was thinking about it when suddenly there was a crackling sound on the cave wall.
When I heard it, I felt a chill in my heart. The "squid" must have known that I was coming.
When I shined a flashlight, I found a mouse crawling toward me, squealing, and I was so frightened that I couldn't help but step back. It wasn't because I was afraid of the mouse, it was just that if I encountered a mouse in a narrow path in this cave, it would not necessarily lead to death.
The mouse ran all the way and was about to hit my face. With a crackling sound, a vine-like tentacle grabbed the mouse in mid-air, entangled it, and tied a knot. The mouse opened its mouth wide and half of its intestines were cut off.
Come out of the mouth.
The vine dragged the dead mouse and slowly retreated. I was so frightened that I broke into a cold sweat and said, "What the hell is this? It's so damn evil!"
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and crawled forward carefully. I didn't see any animal carcasses along the way, and the bones at the entrance of the cave were all those of wild boars.
Narrow cave, dark future, depressive and tangible
I had quality, but after so many lives and deaths, I knew I had no way out. I bit the bullet and crawled forward, and suddenly saw a bright light in front of me. I felt secretly happy and tried my best to dig out. But I stayed in the darkness for too long.
My eyes couldn't adapt to the strong light for a while, so I opened a gap and saw a monster covered in tentacles. Its mouth was not as big as the clay sculpture, but it was full of fangs that were scary enough.
I took a step back hastily, my hand holding the hunting knife was shaking. Ma Ningshuang's face was covered with black mud, and she was wiping tears in the corner of the open pit.
When she saw me, she burst into tears. Her crying made me even more upset. The "squid" turned out to have another head somewhere, with only one eye, but it made me hairy. Maybe it didn't either.
I expected that there would be winter food delivered to my door.
Ma Ningshuang hid behind me, trembling uncontrollably. A calf-thick tentacle rolled up in the air, but before it could reach it, the thick body fluids hit me in the face. I saw the tentacle coming menacingly, and the two big mouths of the "squid"
Crying for food, the roll has to be filled into the mouth.
I hurriedly threw Ma Ningshuang down, and the tentacles were rolled up, but the remaining strength hit me on the back. I was so painful that the hunting knife fell out of my hand. The "squid" didn't give us time to breathe, and the narrow pit could not accommodate it.
We are not allowed to deal with it.
There is a strong wind in the tentacles, as if it is blowing away the human soul, and the will to survive is swaying in the wind.
At this moment, Ma Ningshuang fired a shot at this critical moment, hitting the "squid"'s largest head, and blood spurted out.
I picked up the hunting knife on the ground and rushed up to touch it, but the vitality of this "squid" was really strong. One of its tentacles swept across the ground and knocked me to the ground. Then I saw that the injured head shrank.
When it reached the cavity, another bigger head popped up, without eyes, but with a surprisingly big mouth.
Seeing me falling to the ground, Ma Ningshuang shot at the "squid" repeatedly, but because she was too nervous, she hit the side of the "squid". I took advantage of this moment to step back repeatedly, and the "squid" kept swinging its thick tentacles.
Waves of smoke and dust were blown out of the ground, and there was a constant crackling sound.
Ma Ningshuang held my hand and tried to avoid the tentacles that were lashing randomly. I took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the hunting knife, and an evil fire suddenly rose in my heart.
I shouted, raised my knife and rushed towards the "squid." But I was caught by a flying tentacle, and my eyeballs were almost squeezed out. I slashed the tentacle that wrapped around me with all my strength.
, after a few cuts, the tentacles became tighter and tighter.
I could feel that my internal organs were being squeezed to pieces, stars were popping out in front of my eyes, and my tongue was stretched out. Ma Ningshuang also cried and rushed towards the "squid." She was also wrapped up by a thick tentacle.
to mid-air.
The "squid." suddenly opened its big mouth and roared. My ears were buzzing, and a stream of mucus spurted out of its mouth and splashed on the face, blurring the vision. It was very uncomfortable, but suddenly
I felt my body slipping and I was freed from its tightly entangled tentacles.
I fell to the ground, covered in thick liquid, my feet slipped, and I was about to fall to the ground if I couldn't stand firmly. Only then did I realize that it must have been the greasy mucus that made the tentacles of the "squid." slip.
Ma Ningshuang, who was still in the air at this time, rolled up the whites of her eyes and put a piece of her tongue on her mouth. Seeing that she was about to die, I picked up the hunting knife again, and a tentacle rolled me up into the air again. This time it didn't hesitate.
, I swung it up and was about to stuff it into my mouth. I held the hunting knife tightly and kept twisting my body in the tentacle. Just when I was about to reach its mouth, my body slid into the air again.
At the moment of falling, I gritted my teeth and thrust the hunting knife into the "squid."
"He roared and let go of Ma Ningshuang, who was hanging in the air. A gap opened in his chest, and blood and internal organs immediately poured out.
And I was also slapped by a fallen tentacle. I wiped the mucus on my face and turned around to see Ma Ningshuang, who was also buried under a pile of internal organs and slowly stood up.
Stand up like a little bloody man.
Seeing the other party's embarrassed appearance, they looked at each other in silence, and just laughed inexplicably. He wanted to hug her excitedly, but he touched her hand, lowered his head and laughed dryly.
Ma Ningshuang suddenly threw herself into my arms and cried loudly. She was covered in blood when she rubbed me. I hugged her waist numbly. When I saw that "squid." my heart was not beating as fast as it is now. I felt like I was about to melt in that moment.
, a loud voice rang in my ears: "My living ancestors have found you two."
I hurriedly pushed Ma Ningshuang away, and when I turned around, I saw that it was Shui Xiaowu, with a flustered look on his face. He stood outside the pit and looked at the two of us anxiously. Although I could tell that he was worried about us, it still felt weird.
Shui Xiaowu climbed down a vine. I felt scared when I looked at the vine, but I didn't dare to delay. I helped Ma Ningshuang climb up first, and then I climbed up with difficulty with Shui Xiaowu's help.
I climbed up and breathed a long sigh of relief. Shui Xiaowu looked at me in surprise: "You disemboweled that wasteland squid?"
I nodded, Shui Xiaowu stretched out his thumb, nodded, and said to me: "I didn't expect you to be alive." After saying this, he stopped and laughed dryly, and said to Ma Ningshuang and us.
: "Oh, I can't even see the human form anymore. Let's find a bath to wash up first."
It was almost dusk, and I could see through the shadows of the trees that half of the sun had set. I didn’t know how Shui Xiaowu found the two of us, and I didn’t ask in detail. Maybe he had been in the mountains for a long time and was familiar with the terrain.
Shui Xiaowu said that this forest is called Tiefeng Forest, but there are not many trees, so the name is really undeserved.
We found a small stream in a mountain col. We simply wiped our faces and went to find the seventh-grade ginseng. It was very uncomfortable to be covered in sticky blood, but Ma Ningshuang couldn't stand the sticky blood stains all over her body. What can I say?
You also need to wash it clean. Shui Xiaowu also said that the seventh-grade leaf ginseng is hard to come by. In the forests of Changbai Mountain and Xing'an Mountains, there are only one or two ginseng, so there is no point in worrying.
Along the way, I have seen a lot of wild ginseng, but none of them can be considered top-grade, let alone the seventh-grade leaves of King Ginseng.
Ma Ningshuang was taking a bath by the stream, but we didn't dare to stay too far away. The lesson just now was too painful. We were chatting wordlessly when we suddenly heard Ma Ningshuang yelling. We got up and headed over there.
I ran away, thinking to myself, don't let anything happen again.
I ran over and saw Ma Ningshuang running towards me wearing Shui Xiaowu's fat cotton-padded jacket. I rushed forward to greet her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ma Ningshuang stared with big eyes and said angrily: "There was a child just now who peeked at me taking a shower."
I hurriedly looked towards the creek. There was no child there. Maybe she was frightened today. I patted her and whispered, "What child is there? Did you see it wrong?"
Ma Ningshuang looked at me aggrievedly, pouted her little mouth, and said to me angrily: "How could I get it wrong? That child is hiding..."
She glanced towards the stream and froze there, scratched her head and said to herself: "I just saw a child in a red cloth bag standing behind the tree, why is it gone?"
"The ginseng doll has appeared." Shui Xiaowu looked in the direction of the stream with a solemn expression.
When I heard it was a ginseng doll, I was surprised at first and asked Shui Xiaowu: "How do you know where it is?"
Shui Xiaowu sneered and said to me: "How can there be any children in this deep mountain and old forest? There must be evil beasts to protect the treasure. Didn't you see the big snake on the pine branch?"
I followed his eyes, and sure enough, there was a giant snake with thick thighs coiled on the pine tree, spitting out letters in its mouth as if to demonstrate.
I felt goosebumps all over my body when I looked at the big snake. The big snake I met in Zhuanxin Lake last time made me scared, but this time it was not as big as the last time I saw it, but it was not small at all. Shui Xiao
