"This is, this is the snake's lair." Zhuo Lin'er made a trembling voice.
"No, master, run!" At the same time, a chirping voice sounded in Yun Ruoyan's mind.
"Everyone, run, there are snake eggs on the stone wall, be careful not to touch them." Yun Ruoyan said while running forward.
But it was too late, densely packed little devil snakes drilled emerald green heads out of the eggs on the stone wall one by one, and even the rain of snakes began to rain on their heads.
Those little snakes that had just hatched their shells were still covered in mucus, and they fell down like a crackling rain, and the stench filled the entire cave in an instant.
Yun Ruoyan and the others ran wildly, but the little snakes all swam along the stone wall and walked in front of them as if they were commanded by someone. In front of them are densely packed, forming a thick wall of snakes.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked by the snake wall, several people had no choice but to run back. They finally reached the previous fork in the road, but the road behind was also blocked by the snake.
Now there is only the hole on the right left, there is no time to hesitate, and the few people turned their heads and ran in.
There is no magic snake's eggs in this cave, and the space seems to be wider than the other one, but the magic snake behind is chasing after it like a flood.
She didn't know how long she had been running, but Yun Ruoyan felt that her internal organs were aching from the excessive running.
You know, she had just fought against the giant-toothed tiger two days ago, and the loss in her body has not fully recovered.
Finally, a faint light appeared ahead.
"It's the exit, it's finally the exit!" Lin Qingxue had already reached the front while running, and she was almost exhausted at this time!
Because of the medicinal powder that Yi Qianying sprinkled on her body to attract snakes, those snakes became even more fanatical towards her, sometimes jumping over other people and jumping on her body, which made her who had been following Yun Ruoyan not want to. Desperately ran to the front.
Lin Qingxue ran out of the cave in a fit of anger, and lay down on the ground, feeling her whole body collapsed, yelling, "I can't run anymore, I can't run anymore, I won't run even if I'm eaten by a snake gone."
Even though she said that, when she felt something on her shoulder, her whole body bounced up, as if she was about to continue running.
"Don't run away, it's okay." Yun Ruoyan's voice sounded behind her.
Only then did she dare to look back, the entrance of the cave where they ran out just now, was densely packed with green magic snakes.
Under the moonlight, they are intertwined with each other, and the tiny scales make a scalp-numbing sound when they rub against each other. The red letter seeds that are constantly spit out can't help but remind people of some kind of disgusting bloodworm.
But the strange thing is that these terrifying-looking demonic snakes that can destroy everything stopped at the entrance of the cave, as if they were under some kind of restraint, and they didn't dare to step outside the cave at all.
"These snakes, why don't these snakes chase after them?" Lin Qingchen asked out of breath, half-sitting on the ground.
"Whatever it is... anyway... it's safe now!"
"How are you all, are you not injured?" Yun Ruoyan asked Zhuo Yifeng and Zhuo Lin'er.
Zhuo Yifeng had already put Zhuo Lin'er down, he was not panting like others, but his complexion was not very good.
"No." Zhuo Yifeng shook his head, "I just lost a tiger tooth!" There was a hint of heartache on his expressionless face.
While running, he had to protect his younger sister. Although he felt the tiger tooth fall from his body, he had no time to pick it up.
That is the treasure of an intermediate monster. It can forge at least twenty medium-grade arrows. How can it make him not feel sad.
"Brother Zhuo, just throw it away, of course life is more important in that situation!" Lin Qingxue comforted.
"Brother, there will be more babies in the future. Our lives are the most important thing."
Zhuo Lin'er glanced at Lin Qingxue, and said softly, the two people who have always been contradictory, this time their tone is rare.
"Are we out of the maze?" Lin Qingchen asked while looking around.
This is a valley-like place.
In the night, the sound of insects chirping and the breeze blowing slowly gave people a very comfortable feeling.
"Whether it's a lost realm or a secret realm, I have to get a good night's sleep first." Lin Qingxue wailed, and her words spoke out the hearts of everyone.
Several people found a place, lit a fire, and rested there. It was early summer, and it wasn't cold even at night, but a fire was lit for safety.
Zhuo Yifeng, who had the best physical fitness, kept vigil, and the others soon fell asleep. The night passed peacefully, and they only felt that the sky was bright as soon as they closed their eyes.
Yun Ruoyan woke up from a strong fragrance, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Zhuo Yifeng busy in front of the fire.
"Did you stay up all night?"
Yun Ruoyan came to Zhuo Yifeng's side, feeling a little embarrassed, last night it was agreed that Zhuo Yifeng would stay in the first half of the night, and she would stay in the second half of the night. But she was really too tired. It seemed that she had never slept so deeply in the previous life and this life.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Zhuo Yifeng was busy turning over the barbecue in his hands, and said without turning his head: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if I don't sleep for a few days."
Yun Ruoyan looked at his earnest side face, and found that not only his eyes were very bright, but his eyelashes were also long and slightly upturned, casting a row of shadows under the morning sun, which was a bit delicate .
"Okay." Zhuo Yifeng took the barbecue off the fire, turned his head and met Yun Ruoyan's big eyes, and he couldn't help being stunned.
Yun Ruoyan looked at Zhuo Yifeng with her body turned slightly. This angle just covered the birthmark on her right cheek, and her skin was as white as snow against the stand-up collar of the red dress.
At this moment, in Zhuo Yifeng's eyes, the three quarters of Yun Ruoyan's side face seemed to become another person, a beautiful, pure, unsullied woman.
Facing Zhuo Yifeng's dazed eyes, Yun Ruoyan didn't think much, she smiled slightly, and took the barbecue in his hand.
"What's this? Is it a chicken or a big bird?" she asked, a light smile on her lips.
"smell good!"
Lin Qingxue's voice sounded behind them, and the two turned their heads to look. Lin Qingxue had already arrived behind them at some point, but they didn't realize it because they were too relaxed.
"Sister Ruoyan, good morning Brother Zhuo!" Lin Qingxue greeted with a bright smile.
"Morning, wake up, here it is!" Yun Ruoyan handed the barbecue in her hand to Lin Qingxue, her face was still smiling, but her heart was trembling, how did her vigilance become low recently? .
When she was reborn, Yun Ruoyan was like a frightened bird, no one could believe it, and she was always vigilant.
For a while, she slept with one eye open and one eye closed, and she had to secretly try it with a silver needle before she dared to eat.
But since entering the secret realm, his vigilance has dropped unexpectedly at some point.
"Here, there are more here." Zhuo Yifeng handed over another barbecue, and Yun Ruoyan took it, thinking while eating.
When I was first reborn, I was alone and helpless, but now I have friends who I can trust with each other, so I unknowingly let down my vigilance.
This is not a kind of dependence! Once such relaxation becomes a habit, what should we do when we are again isolated and helpless? !
"Oh, sister Ruoyan, you ate both of them, sister Qingchen is going to be hungry." Lin Qingxue suddenly yelled strangely.
Only then did Yun Ruoyan wake up, and saw that the fat roast chicken in her hand had only a skeleton left, and that such a big roast chicken was eaten dry by herself. up.
"I ate half of it and I was full. Sister Ruoyan, how can you eat so thin?!" Lin Qingxue's round face was full of surprise, "How do you keep in good shape?"
"I... hiccup!" Yun Ruoyan opened her mouth and hiccupped loudly.
"Hahaha..." Lin Qingxue laughed unceremoniously, "Sister Ruoyan, you are so cute, hahaha..."
"Hic!" As if responding to Lin Qingxue's ridicule, Yun Ruoyan hiccupped again.
"Hahaha..." Lin Qingxue almost couldn't straighten up laughing.
For some reason, Yun Ruoyan kept hiccupping, her face turned from white to red, and then from red to white.
God! Has the image of aloofness that she has worked so hard to establish since her rebirth collapsed like this? No, I have to hold on! belch!
Zhuo Yifeng wasn't as dismissive as Lin Qingxue, he still had that paralyzed expression, but his bright eyes, which were unique to the orc race, were already full of smiles.
Then, throughout the whole day, Lin Qingxue hardly stopped talking. First, after Lin Qingchen woke up, she taught her vividly.
Then, she kept repeating this scene in front of everyone during the meal, and even the little girl Zhuo Lin'er was amused by her.
"I thought I was the only glutton. It turns out that Ruoyan is even more gluttonous than me. She hiccupped all day. Hiccup!" Lin Qingxue once again imitated it vividly.
Facing this innocent and somewhat crazy younger sister, Yun Ruoyan didn't like to get angry, so she could only lower her head and try her best to act like nothing happened.
It seems that I have to find a way to win over this little sister, otherwise as long as Lin Qingxue is around, her aloof image will definitely collapse from the secret realm to the entire imperial city.
Fortunately, her hiccups got better in the evening, otherwise she couldn't take it anymore.
They found a way in the valley in the morning, and it was the only way. A few people have been walking along this road in the valley for a day, and have not encountered any powerful monsters, but they have found a lot of precious medicinal herbs.
For example, Baicaotou and Juejiezi are middle-grade materials that can be used to refine ointments for treating trauma. Skystar Grass and Mulch Mushroom are high-grade materials that can be used to refine elixirs for internal injuries.
There are also other middle and low-grade medicinal herbs that are scattered all over the place. It seems that within a few steps, you can see a small piece of medicinal herbs that is worth hundreds of gold in the imperial city.
Several people were very happy to pick it, and Yun Ruoyan even took advantage of the few people's inattention to store a lot in the silver bracelet space.
"Sister Ruoyan." Lin Qingchen walked to Yun Ruoyan's side and said in a low voice, "Why are there so many elixir and spirit herbs here?"
"Did you notice something?" Yun Ruoyan asked straight to the point.
"Generally, the place where the elixir and spirit grass grow densely is often the center of a place where the spiritual power gathers. Do you think we have reached the center of the secret realm?"
Lin Qingchen expressed her inference. She had been studying medicine with Lin Zainan for some time, and she knew a lot.
In fact, this question also faintly arose in Yun Ruoyan's heart, did they stumble into the center of the secret realm by mistake
The Royal Secret Realm is a ring-shaped landform, the outer spiritual power is the weakest, and the grades of spiritual grass and monsters are also the lowest. The more you go inside, the stronger the spiritual power, the more spiritual grass and magical beasts, and the higher the grade.
Judging from the current situation, they have indeed entered the center of the secret realm.
"But why are there only spirit herbs here and no monsters?" Lin Qingchen asked again.
"Jiujiu, master!"
"Brother, brother!"
Jiujiu and Zhuo Liner sounded the alarm almost simultaneously.
There are monsters ahead!
