Chapter 133 Underground Cave
Deep in the silent and secluded Changbai Mountain, a strange team kept shuttling through the forest.
A giant python over ten meters long, with a body as thick as a child's waist, led the way, followed by another big snake behind it, and several humans followed closely behind. A big bird was flying overhead, chirping all the way.
If someone saw this weird situation, their eyes would probably pop out of their head.
When did the relationship between snakes and humans become so good? Not only do they not kill each other, they seem quite harmonious.
"Where are we going? Haven't we arrived yet?"
Maogougou was puzzled and asked in a low voice.
"Just follow along, don't ask any more questions."
Huo Qinghuang glanced at him warningly, signaling him not to say anything more.
"oh!"
The hairy dog lowered its head and dared not make a sound.
Xu Zheng and others looked at each other.
It seemed that Master Huo had no intention of abandoning them, which miraculously made them feel much more at ease.
"arrive."
At this moment, Python Thirteen in the front suddenly stopped its snake body, turned its head and looked at everyone.
Huo Qinghuang stopped and looked forward.
When everyone looked up, they saw a slightly eerie swamp in front of them. The methane was rising, making the surrounding scenery a little blurry.
"Is this the place you mentioned? How do we find the entrance to the underground river?"
Huo Qinghuang looked at Mang Shisan with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Python Thirteen shook its head, signaling everyone to follow. It swam slowly along the edge of the swamp, and its huge body left a winding trail in the grass.
Everyone followed behind cautiously, and Mao Gougou and others didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that they would fall into the unfathomable swamp by accident.
When they reached a place, Mang Shisan stopped and pointed with his tail to a patch of water plants: "The entrance should be below here. I have sensed the sound of surging water."
Huo Qinghuang went forward to check, squatted down, and reached his hand into the water.
After a moment, she stood up and said, "There is indeed water flowing. It seems that the entrance is not far away."
"Walk!"
As she spoke, she strode forward.
Soon, they found the entrance to the underground river. The cave was dark and the water was rushing into it.
Huo Qinghuang went in first, and everyone followed closely behind.
As soon as we entered the underground river, we felt the temperature drop suddenly. The surrounding rock walls were wet and covered with unknown mosses.
The underground river varies in width. Sometimes you need to squeeze sideways to pass through the narrow part, and sometimes it suddenly opens up and forms a small pool of water.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, some light suddenly appeared in front of us.
Everyone was cheered up and quickened their pace.
After passing through a narrow hole, the view suddenly becomes clear.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was actually a huge cave!
Countless stalactites of various shapes hang from the ceiling of the cave, like works of art carefully carved by nature, sparkling with strange brilliance under the light in the cave.
“This place…”
The hairy dog widened his eyes and exclaimed in amazement.
“So beautiful!”
Huang Mingzhu's eyes lit up and she covered her mouth with excitement. She felt that all the hardships she had gone through along the way had disappeared at this moment.
The environment here is really beautiful.
Not far away is a pond. The water that gathers from somewhere is gurgling. The water vapor evaporates and forms mist in the air. It floats here, like a fairyland on earth.
Huo Qinghuang had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery as he searched for traces of the Red Flame Fruit in the cave.
She saw several places deep in the cave emitting a faint hot breath. She was moved and walked quickly towards there.
When I got closer, I saw that there were indeed several red flame fruits growing on the lava. The fruits were fiery red all over, like burning flames, and the surrounding air was distorted by the burning.
Huo Qinghuang showed joy on her face and was about to go forward to pick them, but suddenly she heard a sharp whistle.
Everyone looked up and saw a group of bats circling above the cave ceiling.
They are much larger than ordinary bats, and their fangs are extremely sharp. It seems that once you are bitten by them, even a person with skin of steel and bones will be torn apart instantly.
At this moment, they realized that someone had entered their territory and they became angry. Their sharp beaks and claws flashed coldly in the light as they swooped down towards the crowd.
“So many bats!”
"Oh my god, are these bats spirits? Why are they so big?"
Mao Gougou and others were trembling with fear.
Huo Qinghuang had a calm expression on his face as he swung the dagger out of his hand and hit one of the bats directly.
Bang!
The bat suddenly exploded into a bloody mist.
The rest of the bats were frightened and fled, but there were still a dozen or so bats flapping their wings and flying towards the crowd.
Some of them seemed to be extremely hungry, with green eyes, and they pounced madly towards Mang Shisan and Chang Ba.
"If you dare to mess with me, you're looking for death!"
Mang Shisan was angry.
Its huge head suddenly rose up, and its huge snake tail swept across, instantly smashing the bat that was pouncing on it into a pulp, with blood spurting out.
Chang Ba did not retreat at this moment. Perhaps he knew that these bats posed no threat to him, so he did not retreat but took the initiative to meet them.
"How dare you, a bunch of beasts, attack your Master?"
It opened its mouth and spurted out a mouthful of venom, which sprayed on the two bats. There was a hissing sound, corroding their feathers and flesh, and they fell to the ground with a scream.
Chang Ba's move immediately frightened the rest of the bats, and they no longer dared to move forward.
Huo Qinghuang looked at it in surprise. She didn't expect that although Chang Ba looked as timid as a mouse, its venom was so terrible.
It is true that you cannot judge a snake by its appearance, and you cannot judge the depth of the sea by its depth.
Seeing this, the remaining bats turned around and pounced on Mao Gougou and others.
"Master Huo, help me!"
"Ouch, stop scratching my face!"
“My ass!”
"You beasts! You bully the weak and fear the strong. I'll fight you!"
Mao Gougou and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they cried and cried.
"Shut up!"
Huo Qinghuang shouted coldly.
After so long, these guys haven't made any progress at all. They can only yell and scream when something happens. She doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to use these guys.
With Huo Qinghuang and Mang Shisan Changba taking action, bats fell wherever they went.
Soon, most of the bats in the group were killed or injured. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining few wailed a few times, spread their wings and fled.
"How about it, Master Ba, am I awesome?"
Chang Ba circled around on the ground a few times and said proudly.
"They are just a few bats, not even monsters. What a shame for you."
Mang Shisan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.
Huo Qinghuang ignored the quarrel between the snake and the python, looked at the cave, and thought to himself that since red flame fruit could grow here, there might be other rare medicinal herbs as well.
So she turned her head and looked at Mao Gougou and the others: "Go and find out if there are any other medicinal herbs. Whoever finds them will be allowed to have an extra piece of barbecue tonight."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mao Gougou and his companions became extremely excited. They rushed into the cave and started searching everywhere.
