Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Chapter 47 (Second Update)...

In the darkness, Lu Qiujin looked up at Cheng Yunshao.

Luo Shi really didn't think so much. He responded, took the rope and distributed it to the back.

Several of them were awakened. Although it was dark underground, it did not affect their strong night vision. After walking for about ten minutes, they still had not reached their destination.

"I see."

Qin Yinian walked along the winding road. "That wasn't a python just now. It was an earthworm. It's really good at digging holes."

Luo Shizhen didn't hear that this was a joke, and said seriously: "It might be a hole drilled by a Gu worm. Its tongue is a Gu worm."

That poisonous insect looks delicious.

Luo Shizhen touched his stomach and said, "Qin Yinian, do you have any more bananas? Can you give me another one?"

"Here, I brought them all for you. You can eat as much as you want."

A fire appeared in the darkness, and Qin Yinian extravagantly used his ability to bring the banana to Luo Shizhen.

Luo Shizhen held the rope in one hand and ate a banana with the other. After he finished eating, his stomach was full.

Even though my stomach was full, I was still hungry psychologically.

He always felt that there was something very fragrant deep in the cave.

It was even more delicious than anything I had "eaten" before, just like a dish of fried prawns.

The school cafeteria often cooks delicious food in different ways. Luo Shizhen had never eaten fried prawns before. After arriving at the school, he took a bite and was amazed.

The fried prawns are golden and crispy on the outside, but very tender and smooth on the inside when you take a bite. The school chef’s seasoning is very sophisticated, which not only does not cover up the deliciousness of the prawns, but also adds some spicy flavor.

Luo Shi really loves this dish. After the chefs found out, they often made it for him. Sometimes when he was exhausted after training, as soon as he entered the cafeteria, the chef would greet him with a smile and say that they had his favorite fried prawns today.

At that time, no matter how tiring the training was, it didn't seem like a big deal.

However, why did he feel that the poisonous insect tasted like fried shrimp?

Luo Shi really didn't quite understand, and just thought that he still had some knowledge that he didn't understand about energy users.

When they reached the fork in the road, they didn't know which way to go.

Luo Shizhen pointed precisely to the place where the aroma of fried prawns came from: "I think it's here."

Cheng Yunshao and the others were a little surprised.

Qin Yinian asked: "Shi Zhen, can you feel it?"

Luo Shizhen nodded: "I don't know if my feeling is right, but I smell it is here."

Wen Hu: "Then let's go this way!"

He spoke without any thought or hesitation, and his ideas were very straightforward.

If you want to pursue someone, of course you have to support the person you like at all times.

If you can't even do this, then why chase after others?

Cheng Yunshao thought about it and said, "Energy users are more sensitive to Qi. Since we can't tell which way to go, and Shi Zhen has a sense, let's go this way."

Of course, the others had no objections, and everyone followed the direction Luo Shizhen pointed.

After entering, there are even more forks in the road.

There were originally only two forks in the road, but they became four. Luo Shizhen chose one of the four, and then there were eight more, making sixteen in total.

Lu Qiujin gently touched the soil inside the cave, asked Qin Yinian to help light a fire, and observed for more than ten seconds by the firelight.

"It seems we are almost there. The soil on this road is still fresh. It must have been dug out by the python."

Qin Yinian, who was acting as a ruthless lighter on the side, clicked his tongue when he heard this:

"It's quite troublesome for it to return home. It seems like it wants to build a maze underground."

Cheng Yunshao frowned. "Strange! This is its base camp. Logically, it should have a route back long ago. The fork in the road we see now is basically a temporary creation."

"In this case, it's more like it's afraid of something, and to avoid being hunted, it's temporarily creating so many tricks."

Luo Shizhen also nodded after hearing this and joined the discussion seriously.

When he had a face-to-face encounter with the poisonous insect disguised as a giant python's tongue before, he felt that the other party seemed to be very scared.

"Yes, I think it seems to be afraid, but I can't tell what it is afraid of."

Wen Hu: "What are you afraid of? It's a level three, and the highest level among us is only level two."

Cheng Yunshao recalled over and over again the scene of the giant python appearing and leaving, and always felt that something was wrong.

It runs too fast.

There wasn't even a direct confrontation; he just ran away without any hesitation.

Now so many roads have been dug underground to cover the official route. It's impossible that the giant python had nothing to do while escaping and dug new roads to exercise, right?

Cheng Yunshao couldn't figure out the reason and could only reluctantly attribute it to the teacher who was responsible for protecting them.

"Maybe the teacher who followed us to protect us is a high-level awakener. This weirdo sensed it, so it wanted to hide."

Luo Shizhen suddenly realized.

"So that's how it is!"

That makes sense.

Maybe when they encountered the giant python, the teachers were watching quietly nearby.

Cheng Yunshao finished his analysis and looked at Luo Shizhen again:

"Luckily, we have Shi Zhen, an energy user who can sensitively detect where the strangeness is hiding. Otherwise, even if we found the underground, we would probably be wandering around in circles without making any progress."

Being praised.

Luo Shizhen smiled a little embarrassedly, but also a little happy that he could contribute to the team.

In the firelight, he looked at Cheng Yunshao and smiled, his eyes dark and bright, his smile looked a little shy because of embarrassment, the red firelight reflected on his face, making him look like he was blushing.

Cheng Yunshao was just doing a normal analysis, but he was stunned when he saw this scene.

No wonder Wen Hu likes him. When Luo Shizhen smiles, he really makes people feel safe.

Moreover, perhaps because Luo Shi really had the ability to purify, the two people obviously did not have much contact, just a distance of one in front and one behind, but the restless Qi in Cheng Yunshao's body seemed to become much calmer.

Cheng Yunshao only looked at Luo Shizhen's face for two seconds before the flames disappeared silently.

——The area around them became dark again.

Qin Yinian: "I think we are almost there, so let's save our energy and prepare for the battle."

When Luo Shizhen heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense.

"good!"

He touched the brick in his pocket and found that it was still there, which made him feel relieved.

After another round of twists and turns, everyone saw the light ahead.

We should have arrived at the place.

Lu Qiujin regained some strength, and several plants appeared. Instead of blocking for him, they stood in front of Luo Shizhen.

He leaned close to Luo Shizhen's ear and whispered:

"Be careful, if something goes wrong, call for help immediately."

They were too close, Lu Qiujin lowered her eyes and held her breath. If she moved a little closer, her lips could even touch Luo Shizhen's earlobe.

In the past, school teachers said that fighting was the best occasion to cultivate feelings between classmates, but Lu Qiujin disagreed.

At this moment, in the darkness, Luo Shizhen and I were holding the same rope, so close to each other, and talking together.

Lu Qiujin's eyes were a little dazed, and she thought that what they taught in school did make some sense.

Luo Shizhen nodded.

He thought this was some kind of preparation before the battle, so he immediately imitated him and whispered the same thing into Cheng Yunshao's ear.

Lu Qiujin: “…”

Following suit, feeling Luo Shizhen sticking to him, Cheng Yunshao, who was fully aware of the other person's body temperature, did not move, but his earlobe suddenly became hot.

He was usually calm, but now he even started to stutter when he spoke.

At this moment, Cheng Yunshao almost suspected that he had made a mistake.

Could it be that Luo Shizhen is not the serious and clumsy type, but the type who will take the initiative?

He turned his head to look. The awakened person's good eyesight allowed him to see that Luo Shizhen had a normal expression, his eyes were clear, and his breathing was even.

Cheng Yunshao, whose breathing was disordered by these words, was made to look particularly unserious by comparison.

Cheng Yunshao quickly turned his head back.

"Okay, okay."

Luo Shizhen waited for a second, but when he didn't respond, he whispered to him:

"Aren't you going to remind Wen Hu?"

Cheng Yunshao touched his burning earlobe and said, "Wen Hu has participated in combat, no need to remind him."

He thought that darkness seemed to increase people's imagination and make some seemingly ordinary actions more ambiguous.

This is not good. If I had known this earlier, I would have switched places with Wen Hu.

Wen Hu had been listening closely to the noise behind him. Seeing Luo Shizhen and Cheng Yunshao whispering to each other, he suddenly thought of the same thing as his temporary teammate and said anxiously:

"Cheng Yunshao, shall we change seats?"

Cheng Yunshao said calmly, "We've already arrived. Changing positions at this time might lead to accidents. Besides, your defense is the strongest among us. Apart from you, no one else can guarantee the safety of the team."

Wen Hu thought about it and felt that it made sense.

At least his tiger form is big enough to block damage for his teammates behind him. Although Cheng Yunshao's puppet can also block damage, it is a human-shaped puppet after all, so it can't block as much damage as he can.

Blocking damage for teammates is equivalent to blocking damage for Shi Zhen. Wen Hu thought so and no longer mentioned the idea of ​​changing positions.

Wen Hu transformed into a tiger form, and the group walked forward cautiously.

Inner room.

A middle-aged man seemed to sense something and looked outside suddenly.

"They're coming! The Guardians are chasing us!"

Another young man sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? My precious is here. This place is full of my precious people. Even if a fourth-level guardian comes, he will be devoured."

He waved towards the corner, his eyes full of enthusiasm: "Come on, baby, there is delicious food delivered to your door."

There was no movement in the corner.

The middle-aged man looked at him suspiciously: "Is your baby really as obedient as you say?"

"Of course, we have signed a contract."

There was a large rotten patch on the young man's face, vaguely shaped like a poisonous insect. He looked more like a ghost than a human.

That's the price of the contract.

He closed his eyes and called out to his baby: "My baby, come out and eat."

The shape of the poisonous insect on the young man's face slowly moved, and there was movement in the corner of the wall, and the head of a huge python crawled out.

After taking a look at the situation, he climbed back up and dug a path desperately, trying to escape.

They both: “…”

Middle-aged man: "You're causing trouble for me at a time like this? If the Guardian catches me, I'll be dead!"

The young man lost his composure and was about to continue calling when his eardrums were suddenly pierced by a sudden sharp and miserable scream.

He covered his ears and screamed in pain. Blood slowly flowed out of his ear canal. The young man's eyes blurred and he realized that it was the densely packed small poisonous insects on the wall that were screaming sharply.

"They're talking! They're talking!!"

He couldn't hear the sound, so he loudly conveyed the meaning of the insect.

The middle-aged man also covered his ears, in great pain: "What?! What are you talking about!!"

Neither of them noticed that the python, which was digging the hole desperately, opened its mouth and the giant black poisonous insect inside was trembling.

The poisonous insects screamed and followed the will of their "king", their wings trembling in fear.

The shrill cries of insects filled the cave, forming a huge echo.

“——”

“——”

The young man made a contract with the insect and could vaguely feel its fear, terror, and mad desire to escape.

“It’s coming!!”

"It said!! It's coming!!"

The middle-aged man's face was grim: "Who is it? What the hell?! Can you explain it more clearly?!"

"What did you tell me before? You said it was foolproof and no one would be able to find us! What's going on now? Doesn't your precious Gu worm obey you very well?"

The young man looked even uglier than him, and staggered to his feet.

"How would I know who it is? I only know that my insect sensed a terrifying presence approaching this way."

"It has never been so frightened. No, we have to run! Leave now!"

"Run?! Where to run now?! There must be a dragnet out there, where can I run?!"

The middle-aged man stood up shakily and looked at the stone platform in the middle. There, a boy was sleeping.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's so hard to capture someone with awakened abilities. If you want to run away, you can transfer his abilities to me first!"

——The sharp chirping of insects also reached the ears of Luo Shizhen and others.

Something was relying on the little insect to transmit the sound.

Twisted, filled with infinite fear, vaguely, it wanted to be sent to Luo Shizhen's ears.

——"I am willing to submit to you..."

——"Please forgive my mistakes and let me go..."

Luo Shizhen scratched his ears and said, "I think I heard some sound."

Qin Yinian: "What sound? I only heard insects chirping."

Luo Shizhen looked dazed and swallowed.

"That voice seemed to be saying..."

"Up ahead, there's a fried prawn made by Chef Wang. It's really delicious. Come and try some."
