158 | Born in the same hole and buried in the ground.

Xie Ren said softly, “…… anyhow, it is impossible to sweep behind us without a little movement, and do such a big thing.”

Even if Xie Ren didn’t believe in his own insight, he still believed in Hua Cheng’s. What’s more, seriously, he trusted himself very much when it came to his intuition of danger. Hua Cheng said, “Go back. Take a look.”

Side by side, they returned the way they had come, and after walking for a while through the cavernous passage, they stopped in their tracks.

It was not that they wanted to stop, but that there was no other way out, and they were forced to stop. The cave they came from, although twisted and turned, but there is only one way, but now, not yet back to the head, but suddenly there is a cold stone wall!

Both of them did not change their colors. Xie Ren said, “Is this an illusion or real?”

A silver butterfly flew up leisurely, touched the uneven stone wall, nothing unusual, was bounced back. Hua Cheng said, “It’s true.”

Xie Ren nodded and said, “That would be tricky.”

Ghosts hit walls, commonly, in two ways: the first is to make you see an illusion. That is, you think there is a stone wall here, but in fact there is no, just an illusion. This is also very good to break, directly up to touch, or else to slap yourself, splash yourself with a pot of cold water, sober up a bit and then go up to touch;

The second kind makes your memory of the road, your sense of direction, and various other senses misplaced. This kind is slightly more powerful. For example, at a fork in the road, you think you have chosen the left, but in fact, you are in a trance and go to the right. There is also the so-called “ghost spinning”, but it is just a small trick: when a person steps on the left foot and steps on the right foot, there is already a subtle deviation in the distance between the steps, and the non-human object will confuse your mind and expand this deviation. So unconsciously, walk down you think is a straight line, in fact, is a big circle, after circling back will be strange: Hey, how to come back here?

But to the two of them, both of these doorways were carvings. This cold stone wall was actually the third: it was real.

Xie Ren was pondering whether or not to roughly punch through this stone wall to see what was going on behind, when he heard Hua Cheng say, “Brother, give me your hand.”

Xie Ren: “?”

Although puzzled, he obediently handed his hand to Hua Cheng. Hua Cheng gently held his hand and placed it in his own palm, covering it with his other hand and seemingly putting something on him.

Xie Ren’s breath was also held for a moment, and in a flash, he raised his hand and wondered, “This is?”

On the third finger of his left hand, there was an additional thin red line, which was tied on him by Hua Cheng himself. Moreover, this red thread stretched out sheepishly, connecting with the red thread between Hua Cheng’s fingers.

Hua Cheng raised his own hand and showed him the tiny butterfly-shaped red knot that was exactly the same on both of their hands and smiled, “Tied together.”

Hearing this, Xie Ren felt his face getting a little hot, I don’t know if he was too sensitive, he hurriedly rubbed his face twice as hard as he could, as if he was afraid of being perceived by Huacheng as his heart beating much faster than usual, and laughed, “Is this some kind of spell?”

“Hmm.” Hua Cheng slightly corrected his color, lowered his hand, and said, “Although we won’t actively separate, just in case. The thread won’t break, it won’t be short. If the thread isn’t broken, we know that the person on the other end is fine. Unless the person is gone, one can definitely follow this thread to find the person on the other end of the red thread.”

Xie Ren said, “No more means?”

Flower City said, “Dead or gone up in smoke.”

Xie Ren was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of vibrations faintly coming from the distance. He gazed and listened carefully for a moment and said, “Is that who’s boxing?”

This force and frequency, it was as if a person was smashing the mountain heavily with one punch after another. Xie Ren said, “This kind of power is definitely not an ordinary person, it must be a Martial God. Could it be General Pei?”

Flower City said, “It’s coming from the front.”

This “front” naturally refers to the front where they originally intended to go, but had no choice but to turn back because Pei Ming and the others disappeared halfway. But Pei Ming and the others disappeared behind them, how could they suddenly run to the front? And if it wasn’t Pei Ming, who else could it be?

The two looked at each other and walked side by side, accurately going to see the truth. Feasible to halfway, the sound of the fist hitting the mountain but suddenly disappeared, I do not know whether it is intentional or force exhaustion.

But having come, how could they give up halfway? Thus, Xie Ren and Hua Cheng continued to walk towards the place where the voice came from. A few silver butterflies fluttered in front of the blue and dark cave path, illuminating the way ahead for them. Suddenly, Xie Ren caught a sharp-eyed glimpse of a bit of abnormality on the stone wall to the side and said, “What’s that? A red thread?”

Looking at it from afar, I really don’t know what it is, but it’s weird as hell, like a red thread, but much thicker than a red thread, still twisting, more like a long red worm. Xie Ren slowly walked to the stone wall, took a closer look and said, “Isn’t this the Scorpion Tail Snake of the Half Moon?”

Sure enough, it was the lower half of a purplish-red scorpion-tailed snake, exposed outside the wall, constantly flinging and tangling. Its upper body seemed to be buried into the stone wall, and Xie Ren said, “It’s burrowed into a hole and can’t climb out?”

Flower City said, “I’m afraid not.”

This scorpion-tailed snake’s entire body is suspended in mid-air, and the snake does not know how to climb walls, so how can it swim to such a high place before drilling a hole? Moreover, there are many holes on the stone wall, even if you have to drill, why do you have to drill such a small one? This “hole” is also strange, and the shape of the snake’s body almost completely fit, which is why it is stuck alive.

Xie Ren wanted to grab the snake and pull it out to take a look, but the snake was very wary, flinging its scorpion tail wildly and zipping around, almost hitting Xie Ren. So, Hua Cheng flicked it, although it seemed to be casual, the snake seemed to be stunned by this, and didn’t dare to move a muscle. Xie Ren cried and laughed, and was about to speak when he suddenly shut up and said, “Did you hear that?”

Flower City chimed in, “I hear you.”

The two looked ahead in unison.

In the darkness, there was a low sound of breathing coming slowly, very smoothly, very peacefully.

The two Necromantic Butterflies played with each other and flew towards the place where the breathing sound came from, and the higher they flew, the higher that silver light rose. Gradually, it reflected a pair of hands.

It’s a pair of human hands. A man’s hands. The backs of the hands were bloody, bruised, and hung dead low. Further up, it reflected a disheveled human head, which was also hanging dead low.

However, there is no lower body.

Yes, the man hanging high on the stone wall had no lower body. He only showed the upper half of his body, which seemed to have grown out of thin air from the stone wall!

In the past, Xie Ren had seen some princes and nobles, who hunted rare prey, cut down the head of the prey, treated it with medicinal water so that it would not rot, and hung it on the wall of their residence for people to see. Now this situation, so that he can not help but think of those in the wall lined up tigers, deer, wolves and other beasts head. But the man was clearly still breathing, he was still alive!

Xie Ren took a step closer and said, “What is this thing? The body of a mountain monster?”

However, there was no sound of response beside him. Xie Ren’s scalp suddenly climbed up a chill, fiercely turned back, and sure enough – Hua Cheng had disappeared!

Xie Ren said, “Sanlang?!”

Naturally, no one answered, but the man hanging on the wall mumbled a couple of words, as if he was waking up from a nap and talking in his sleep. At the moment, Xie Ren didn’t care about him at all, turned around twice, and suddenly remembered the red thread that Hua Cheng had tied to his hand, and lifted it up with great joy. Sure enough, the red thread was still there, not broken. So, Xie Ren slightly assured, holding this red line, all the way to pull all the way to go, walking, that line to the end.

The other end of this red thread was actually connected into a stone wall!

Xie Ren unbelievable, tugged twice more, there is still a steady stream of longer red threads pulling out from the stone wall, it simply makes him doubt, could it be that Hua Cheng is in this stone wall at the moment?

Thinking of this possibility, Xie Ren, without saying a word, raised his heart to shatter the wall, who knows, his sword tip has not yet touched the stone wall, suddenly a black eye, in front of this stone wall as if suddenly opened a huge bowl of mouth, ow a bite, the whole person swallowed him alive!

This blackness before his eyes didn’t pass quickly, but turned into a constant darkness as Xie Ren was swallowed up. In all directions, there was gravel and dirt weighing down on him, incomparably suffocating. And these gravel soil is still in constant motion, the feeling is like being swallowed into the belly of a giant demonic beast, this demonic beast in addition to him also ate a lot of messy things, in order to digest them in the belly turned over; and like being caught in quicksand, there is no place to use the energy, the more you use your energy, the deeper you get stuck. Xie Ren just wanted to break through the wall and exit, but remembered that Hua Cheng might also be inside, not retreating but advancing, one side of the arm to break through the sand and cut the soil, one side of the red line tugging barely forward. At this very moment, a hand suddenly poked out in front of him and accurately grabbed his wrist. Xie Ren said, “Who?!”

As soon as he opened his mouth he took a mouthful of mud and spat it out bitterly. And the hand grabbed him with a tug, pulling him into an embrace as a familiar voice rang out from above, “Brother, it’s me!”

As soon as she heard this voice, Xie Ren’s entire body relaxed, hugged the other party with force, and said offhandedly, “…… Great, the red thread is not broken, I really found you!”

Flower City wrapped her arms around him hard as well and said with certainty, “It’s not broken! I found you too.”

It turned out that the strange things that the two of them had encountered just now were exactly the same. While Xie Ren was observing the half-body hanging high on the wall, Hua Cheng was observing the surrounding area to guard against anything lurking in the darkness. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, Xie Ren, who was standing beside him, had disappeared. There was also an inexplicable extra stone wall. Holding the red thread, Hua Cheng walked all the way to look for it, and when he realized that the end of the red thread was connected into the wall, he simply went in to look for Xie Ren.

In fact, there should have just been an extra wall between them at first, but both of them thought that the other was in the wall, so they went in on their own without a second thought. Xie Ren repeated for the millionth time in his heart that Hua Cheng really thought of everything in advance and said, ”Luckily you connected a red thread! Otherwise it’s hard to say if you can find it or not. No wonder General Pei they disappeared so suddenly, it turned out not to be a sneak attack at all, but …… they were swallowed by the mountain monster.”

Hua Cheng said, “Not bad, the location chosen was not coincidental, a shovel just happened to dig into the belly of the mountain monster.”

Xie Ren couldn’t help but cough lightly.

Yes, they must be in the belly of one of the three mountain monsters. At this moment, they must be in the “old, sick, dead” three mountain monster one of the stomach. At that time, Guiding Jade asked Xie Ren if he wanted to dig upwards, and chose a location that just happened to be the habitat of this mountain monster, and Xie Ren readily agreed, the world’s most wonderful luck is not I deceive. In all directions of the sand and soil pressure of the two people perched space is more and more narrow, more and more stuffy, Xie Ren deeply feel that this place is not suitable to stay for a long time, said: “How do we go out now?”

Hua Cheng said, “It was not too happy about being dug through the bottom and is digesting us, slightly troublesome. But brother don’t worry, we can always get out.” Joking again, he said, “This is probably what it’s like to die in the same cave.”

When Xie Ren heard this, he was slightly stunned, the corners of his mouth even rose slightly, and when he realized it, he hurriedly pressed it down again and said, “I’m afraid that the halfling outside was also swallowed in by the mountain monster. The sound of punches hitting the mountain that we heard earlier should have been made by him trying to escape and slamming on the stone wall. He, like that scorpion-tailed snake, wasn’t swallowed cleanly and was only half swallowed.” So looking at the effect was extremely creepy. Hua Cheng said, “But he is not the one who came with us this time.”

Xie Ren suddenly remembered the messy hair and said, “Wait, I know who that is. I’m afraid that’s Qiying!”

Hanagi seemed to think before remembering and said, “Oh, the curly-haired one. It’s him, isn’t it.”

Xie Ren said, “I don’t know if he’s alright, did he pass out? Fang just saw that he was already unresponsive.”

Flower City said, “It’s okay, fell asleep.”

“……”

Xie Ren said, “How did you know?”

Hua Cheng said, “I left a few silver butterflies outside and Fang sent them to fly over. My right eye can now see outside.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he let out a soft “huh?” He seemed to have seen something strange, and Xie Ren said, “What’s going on outside?”

Hua Cheng did not say anything, slightly lowered his head, gently lifted his lower jaw, and placed the two of them against each other’s foreheads. Xie Ren opened his eyes all at once, closed his eyes again, and then opened his eyes again, and said, “This is …… really magical to the extreme.”

With his right eye, he actually also saw a different picture than the one in front of him. Although it was dark, he could make out a rough outline.

This Silver Butterfly that spied on the outside world seemed to be hiding in a pile of weeds, while at the bottom of the screen, a dark shadow was slowly approaching. Xie Ren whispered, ”There’s someone coming, I don’t know who it is. Where did you hide your Silver Butterfly? Will it be discovered?”

Hua Cheng said, “It’s in his hair. It’s hidden from the light, so it won’t be noticed.”

The dark figure finally came close enough to lift its face, pale.

Xie Ren said, “Lead Jade?”
