What is the world under the dunes like
Is it also the soft and endless sand and the darkness where you can't see your fingers? People are buried in it and can't breathe, and they can suffocate to death in an instant? …Actually speaking, it is more like a maze, with winding tunnels and hundreds of criss-crossing forks, sometimes open, sometimes narrow, some leading to life, and some to dead end.
A slightly wider fork, the walls are surrounded by dots of light, and it is unknown what luminous substances are contained in the rocks. In the faint light, the prostrate woman finally woke up slowly.
Lin Luoran felt that all the bones in her body were about to fall apart.
She supported the ground with one hand, and slowly sat up. The pain when she moved reminded her of what happened before—the ruins suddenly collapsed, and the ground under the feet of several people turned into sand, turning into liquid, and people were broken into pieces. Shi Du was sucked into the quicksand, which was much stronger than her "Hurricane Storm". Before they could react, they were all sucked into it, and then lost consciousness.
As for the injury on his back, it should have been smashed by the Scorpion King when he went mad with his pincers. Lin Luoran thought of the Scorpion King, and then looked around. The tunnel shone like gold powder, but he didn't see Wen Guanjing and others. It seemed that the four of them had fallen to different places.
Lin Luoran resisted the urge to go to them right away, threw a "Xiao Huan Dan" in her mouth, and held a piece of emerald in each hand to replenish her spiritual power. It took almost an hour to dissolve the medicine, and she felt that there was no tearing pain in her internal organs, and after replenishing a lot of spiritual power, she stood up.
In front of her, there were seven or eight forked roads, but they were less than two feet taller than a person, and sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, so she didn't know which one to choose.
However, why is there a faint smell of blood coming from this fork? Could it be that someone among them was injured... Lin Luoran was overjoyed at first, but then found that his consciousness was only tens of meters away in this tunnel, and he couldn't detect the bloody smell in the depths of the tunnel. Didn't she fall under the ruins, but went deeper into the desert
Lin Luoran was making guesses, but held Zhaojian in his hand, just in case he needed it from time to time.
She walked forward cautiously. The tunnel was wide and narrow at times. Although there was a twilight, there was the sound of dripping water falling to the ground from time to time. There was an empty echo in the puddles on the ground. Other than that, there was no sound. It was really beautiful. Test one's guts.
Lin Luoran walked forward for several hundred meters, and finally saw what the smell of blood was from a distance—it turned out that the Scorpion King also fell down together, lying in the middle of the tunnel, a small gap blocked by the small tunnel nothing.
The big scorpion died naturally and couldn't die anymore, but the bloody smell Lin Luoran smelled was because a group of gophers, which were smaller than cats, came down from the scorpion king's mouth and gnawed on the flesh under the carapace. Feeling deeply unlucky, Lin Luoran was about to turn back when a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred.
She remembered that Zhao Jian only cut a mark on the scorpion's shell hastily? Doesn't that prove that this is a first-class and hard thing... The whole scorpion is about seven or eight meters long. If the scorpion shell is removed to refine armor, everyone in the Lin family can probably have one! Lin Luoran's eyes lit up, and then he really felt a little happy.
Seeing a group of gophers looking at him vigilantly while busy, Lin Luoran spread his hands, and simply sat cross-legged nearby to rest. She has no intention of robbing these gophers for food, and even in her opinion, this is still free labor, so it's not for nothing!
Sure enough, as Lin Luoran expected, when she took the opportunity to recover her spiritual power, in less than an hour, these gophers used their sharp front claws and teeth to hollow out the inside of the scorpion, leaving only a complete The big scorpion shells, they really couldn't move, so they gave up.
But these gophers were obviously not satisfied, they left the scorpion shells on the spot, and chose to attack Lin Luoran, who looked more delicious here-after all, Senior Sister Lin is not a stubborn scorpion king, so she rewarded them with a few fireballs, The burned gophers scurried around and quickly disappeared into the intricate underground tunnels.
Only then did Lin Luoran put the scorpion shell into the space with difficulty, and placed it under the fruit tree, occupying a long place. But what Lin Luoran harvested was not only the complete scorpion shell, but also the poison sac of the scorpion left by the gopher. Lin Luoran didn't dare to throw this thing around, so he took out the jade box to pack it separately, and then continued Hurry up.
Since the fork roads are almost the same, we can only walk down the tunnel in front of us. The phoenix hairpin in Lin Luoran's palm was shining with blue light. If there was a difference in the way ahead, Zhaojian could violently injure the enemy at any time.
The sound of dripping water is not echoing, and the tunnel seems to never end. Lin Luoran didn't notice anything wrong at first, until she passed the same place for the third time, and finally found that she was repeating the tunnel she had already walked through.
Maze? Lin Luoran took a look at the scorched mouse skin on the ground. This is where she collected the scorpion shells and burned the gophers. No wonder she didn't find a new tunnel after walking for a long time. It turns out that she has been repeating this area.
She obviously didn't relax along the way, and her spiritual sense kept sending out warnings, unless this place was so weird that it could not only restrict the spiritual sense, but also disturb it... Ordinary mazes can only bully people's vision. Could it be that these tunnels were originally used to deal with monks? of
Lin Luoran simply withdrew his consciousness and just followed the tunnel with his eyes to see the road.
Sure enough, she had only walked for half an hour, and she didn't see the previous traces again. She seemed to have walked into another fork.
In the empty and long tunnel, there are only the sound of dripping water and Lin Luoran's slight footsteps, which are almost negligible. If you don't have a tough and strong mind, walking for a long time in such an underground tunnel with only faint light and you can't tell day from night will make you feel like you're in the dark. Life is crazy.
Lin Luoran walked underground for two days. In such an environment, the watch has long since stopped. It was she who deduced the time based on the maturity of the crops in the space.
In the past two days, apart from occasionally meeting a few gophers, or big and outrageous ants and insects, she didn't encounter any danger at all. She doesn't know how big the underground is. Is the Kalahari Desert not developed at all? How could such a place not be discovered... Lin Luoran moved his fingers slightly, and a figure flashed on the smooth phoenix hairpin beads. Seeing Lin Luoran stop, he quickly hid in the tunnel.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Lin Luoran's mouth, this little thing has been with him for almost a day, and it's time to show up.
With a thought in her mind, her whole body suddenly disappeared, the beads floated in the air for a while, and finally fell to the ground, dusty and inconspicuous.
After waiting for a while, a furry thing poked its head around the bend of the tunnel, as if convinced that there was no danger, and finally ran out on tiptoe. Seeing that there was no sign of Lin Luoran in the same place, it didn't seem to be in a hurry. It sniffed its nose and smelled it, but after it was still not sure which side road Lin Luoran was heading for, it scratched its paw and flicked its face, and became anxious.
It bounced three times to Lin Luoran's original position, and there was still Lin Luoran's smell in the space, a faint medicinal fragrance, it would definitely smell it wrong, but who was there
The little thing lowered its sharp chin, found the bead lying quietly on the ground, picked it up with its claws nimbly - it looked delicious, it was about to put it in his mouth to bite, the figure of Lin Luoran Appeared suddenly, the beads disappeared, not to mention, a pair of hands with flashing spiritual power grabbed its neck from behind!
The little thing chirped, Lin Luoran raised it to look, "It's actually a fox?"
The one struggling under her hands is really a blue-skinned fox. Although the rare blue fur color is different from ordinary foxes, Lin Luoran is confident that she can't mistake a fox for it.
It turned out that it was this little thing who followed her all day!
But who can tell her how the fox survived in the tunnel under the desert? Lin Luoran felt that he had a head as big as a bucket, a gopher as big as a cat, ants the size of an egg, and a large scorpion seven or eight meters long. This is the Kalahari Desert in Africa, not a place like a secret place , How could there be so many existences beyond common sense
Of course, there is one more fox now... What's the use of a fox, seeing how thin it is, even if Lin Luoran had the heart to kill it, he couldn't kill two catties of meat, so he had to let it go.
"Hey, I'll let you go, don't follow me, okay?" Lin Luoran felt a little confused after holding it in for too long, and actually started talking to a fox.
But what made her eyeballs almost fall out was that the green fox actually nodded and kept bowing to her to beg for forgiveness.
Forehead? Can you understand human speech? This is not a mortal thing!
Lin Luoran moved his clear eyes to probe into its body, the green fox seemed to sense something, and trembled uneasily.
"Good boy, I won't hurt you." Lin Luoran calmed down its uneasy emotions, not knowing whether the green fox really believed it, or felt that there was no hope of escape, it really shook its head and stopped moving .
"Huh?" This green fox is indeed a little abnormal. There is a faint aura flowing in the blood in its body, but it is less than the aura of the old monkey back then. It doesn't seem to have any powerful moves. I don't know what it relies on to eat. Survive here.
Lin Luoran thought about it, and put it down, "Little thing, don't follow me anymore, do you understand?" Even though such a fox is a little strange, Lin Luoran is not a picker, and goes home for everything. Take it, she still has business to do, and she doesn't have time to tease the little green fox, so she can only let it go.
As expected, the green fox could understand people's words, and was put on the ground by Lin Luoran. It didn't overpower itself to attack, but after hearing Lin Luoran's words, it shook its head for a while, as if it was desperate to follow her .
Lin Luoran was angry and laughed, and simply ignored it, and continued to search and hurry in the tunnel. The green fox followed closely behind Lin Luoran, not approaching, but also afraid that Lin Luoran would leave it too fast, looking very pitiful.
Lin Luoran turned a blind eye, eating when he should eat, and resting when he should rest. The green fox's small eyes rolled around, and disappeared into the tunnel in the blink of an eye.
Lin Luoran looked sideways, and finally left.
But just as she rested for a while and was about to leave, the green fox jumped up in front of her again, holding an object in her little paws and placed it in front of her, and jumped far away, looking at it with expectant and vigilant eyes. looking at her.
Lin Luoran lowered her head and saw that it was a tuber-like thing. She felt familiar, but she couldn't confirm it just by looking at it, so she picked it up and smelled it—a faint medicinal fragrance, which was indeed the medicine she knew. But who can tell her when Huang Jing grows in the bottom of the desert
This underground is so amazing...
