That means danger.
But the atmosphere exuding from the scene before her made her instinctively feel that it was different from what she had seen before.
This narrow gap is only visible for a dozen steps. Going deeper, the rocks above converge and close together, and the ground below changes from fine grass to rocks. Those huge stones are intertwined with each other, and the gaps between the stones are bottomless, as if the gaps are the same for hundreds of feet below, leading to the deepest part of the earth.
The depths of the crack were so quiet that even the wind couldn't get in. The tangled branches and thick, wet moss within conveyed the weight of the years.
She felt a primitive and ancient sense of oppression, rotten and heavy, as if if she looked into the depths of the gap for one more moment, she would be sucked in and never see the light of day again.
Just like that muntjac.
Is she going to chase?
She hesitated for a moment, and just as she was about to take a step forward, a sharp voice sounded behind her.
"Xiao Nanhui!"
She suddenly came to her senses and turned around to see a short, fat and sturdy figure standing on a piece of broken wood not far behind her. The broken wood was making a low sound due to the heavy pressure.
It turned out to be the Shrike that had not been seen for many days.
She was a little exasperated, and her complexion didn't look as rosy as before.
"I called you three times before you turned around. Are you possessed?"
What? Did she just call her three times?
Xiao Nanhui was a little dazed, but he turned around and walked towards the other party.
"Why are you here? Where did you die before? I thought you didn't want to come with me."
Shrike's expression froze for a moment, and unusually, he didn't immediately fight back.
"It's a long story. Let's get out of here first."
Xiao Nanhui frowned.
"Leave here? Where to go?"
She was still thinking about the deer, and always thought that if she could get a bounty on it, she would be able to stand up to the emperor in the future. Although the bounty was also his money.
But the next second, after she saw what Shrike took out, she no longer had such thoughts.
It was a bunch of rusty iron keys, making a hoarse sound at the shrike's short and fat fingertips.
"Yu'an Old City, the former residence of the Xiao family."
******************
Deep in the narrow passage, it is dark and gloomy where no sunlight can be seen.
The golden muntjac sniffed around in the darkness and paced carefully among the rocks.
Suddenly, a skinny and shriveled hand stretched out from the darkness and grabbed its neck.
The golden muntjac struggled desperately, with wailing and neighing sounds coming out of its mouth. Its four hooves were waving in vain, its eyes were bulging, and after a long time, its pupils gradually blurred, and its limbs became stiff.
The skinny hand finally slowly loosened its grip, and then touched the beautiful golden fur.
"What a pity, one escaped."
