After hearing the words coming out of the 'Snake Girl's' mouth, the expression of the young man with spider legs slowly relaxed.
But looking at the snake girl, his expression was hard to describe.
"Brother Huo, why are you like this now? Could it be..."
Zheng Huo's face darkened instantly. He knew what the boy was thinking, so he immediately spoke up to stop him from saying the next word.
"Take me to see the others first, and we'll explain it together later."
The boy had no choice but to shut his mouth and swallow the words "has a special fetish".
Finally, he looked at Zheng Huo strangely, then turned around and walked towards the depths of the tunnel.
After turning many corners in the tunnel for more than ten minutes, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.
The cave in front of him was no longer in the shape of a long corridor, but a very wide oval space like a hall.
The walls around here are no longer made of hard stones. Many dark green vines grow on their surface, bringing a touch of vitality to the barren cave environment.
In addition, this cave is obviously carefully decorated. Many popular electronic devices in China can be seen inside it. There is an estimated 100-inch electronic screen in the center playing TV programs.
On the sofa not far from the TV, five half-grown children sat in a row, staring at the screen intently, as if unaware of the arrival of Xiaochun and Zheng Huo.
However, calling them children is not quite appropriate, because each of them has spider legs of different colors growing on their backs.
The figures of several children were reflected in Zheng Huo's emerald snake-like eyes, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
But the next second his expression changed slightly, as if he had discovered something was wrong.
"Where's Xiao Caiyi?"
Xiaochun glanced at the children on the sofa and guessed, "Maybe they are in their room?"
The sound of their conversation finally attracted the attention of the children on the sofa.
One of the young boys with black spider legs and a somewhat cold and arrogant expression looked at Zheng Huo next to Xiaochun strangely.
"Xiaochun, where did the beautiful sister next to you come from?"
The little girl with purple spider legs seemed to be staring at Zheng Huo's face with some envy.
"This sister is much prettier than my doll."
"Azi, your dolls are not pretty at all. Every time I see them, I have nightmares at night. Can you please remake them?"
"Feiyin, do you believe that they will appear at your bedside on time at night?"
Children's attention shifts quickly. Originally, their focus was on Zheng Huo, but before they could say a few words, the two of them started arguing with each other.
"Azi, on this issue, I support Feiyin. It's indeed a bit scary." Another little girl with red spider legs chimed in.
Of course, there was also a boy with blue spider legs who had no expression on his face. He just stared intently at the screen, and it seemed that nothing could attract his attention.
The quarrel between several young boys and girls seemed to bring a lot of vitality to this empty and deep cave dwelling.
Zheng Huo smiled silently. This was the 'home' he had always wanted to protect.
The boy with black spider legs stared at Zheng Huo intently. Noticing that no one answered his question for a long time, he had to speak again.
"Brother Xiaochun, who is this woman?"
Xiao Chun looked at Zheng Huo and said with a strange expression: "He is the Huo brother you have been thinking about."
…
The air fell into an eerie silence. The boys and girls next to them stopped arguing, and the boy with blue spider legs shifted his gaze from the TV screen to Zheng Huo.
The girl with red spider legs laughed, "Brother Huo must have learned some illusion skills recently, which is why he became like this."
The boy with silver-white spider legs called Feiyin flashed in front of Zheng Huo, approached him curiously, and pinched his arm.
He said with some curiosity, "If it's an illusion or transformation skill, then it's too advanced. Even we who live with Brother Huo can't discern any flaws."
Zheng Huo slapped away the hand that was groping around on his body in silence.
"This is a long story. You can understand that I'm going through a critical transformation. For now, I can only maintain this appearance to see you."
"Does it hurt?" A childish but somewhat ethereal voice sounded.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound, a girl about eleven or twelve years old standing in front of a wall covered with dark green vines.
She also has eight spider legs behind her, but her spider legs are made of jade-like material, and each spider leg is mixed with various colors.
The light emanating naturally from it is like a layer of colorful clouds covering it.
At this moment, the girl was staring at Zheng Huo not far away. Her eyes were very special, like two gems made of colorful glass embedded in her eye sockets.
Although no emotion could be seen in her eyes, her face revealed a deep sadness.
Hearing her words, the other teenagers felt a little strange, but Zheng Huo suddenly fell silent.
He could easily fool others, but he couldn't fool Caiyi at all.
To Caiyi, who could see through fate, his lies were like bubbles in the air that burst apart with a poke.
