Chapter 118 The Bride in the Cave (5)
Cang Zhi came back not long after. He also felt the malicious demonic power, so when he went into the mountains to find Su Yue, he was very tactful and did not use his divine power to travel, but relied entirely on his two legs.
The malicious intent that was lurking around Su Yue was almost thickening into substance, and invisible tentacles were spreading around Su Yue.
If it's not impossible to touch, the opponent might just want to perform a tentacle play.
Cang Zhi walked in front of Su Yue and stopped immediately.
"You?"
He paused, frowning, "Be careful. That monster is very presumptuous."
The demonic energy can sense living things, but it does not have the same effect as a surveillance camera, so Su Yue and Cang Zhi don’t have to worry about being heard when they say something.
Su Yue smiled and said, "I know, but the most advanced hunters disguise themselves as prey, do you understand?"
Cang Zhi: “…Oh.”
It can be seen that Cangzhi does not support Suyue's behavior of using himself as bait to catch monsters, but Suyue can also completely ignore Cangzhi's secret lack of support.
Among the two of them, Su Yue has always been the one with more ideas, and it was the same before.
He would take some desperate and risky approaches in order to complete his work more efficiently, but Cang Zhi always had reservations about this.
Cang Zhi had no intention of discussing Su Yue's method of using himself as bait. He asked, "What should we do now?"
Su Yue replied: "Wait."
Now, the Cave God has regarded Su Yue as his prey. When Su Yue does not release any spiritual consciousness, he is just a weak mortal in the eyes of the Cave God, and naturally he will not be wary at all.
Then the cave god will definitely go hunting next, and Su Yue just needs to be hunted by him obediently.
.
After standing there for a while, a faint sweet fragrance came from the air. The smell was a bit similar to honey, mixed with the moisture from the rain and fog in the mountains and the fragrance of flowers and mushrooms. There was nothing unnatural about it at all, but Su Yue held his breath the moment the fragrance hit him, and at the same time made a gesture to Cang Zhi.
Cang Zhi nodded, indicating that he was also being careful.
This scent was undoubtedly a trapping agent for the Cave God. Even if Su Yue didn't unleash his divine power, with his divine body, this trapping agent wouldn't be very effective.
But to be safe, he only took a shallow breath through one-quarter of his nostrils to determine the location of the fragrance.
The fragrance was indeed leading them towards the depths of the hillside.
The terrain here appears to be just a valley on the surface, but in fact it has ups and downs, with many slopes like the waves of the sea. If Su Yue goes down this slope and looks back, Cang Zhi, who is only a few steps away from him, will be temporarily out of sight.
In addition, the cave god's trap can make humans fall into an illusion, so it is normal for a girl to disappear and other companions to be unable to find her.
It took about five minutes to walk over three slopes. In fact, it was all uphill and downhill, and the straight-line distance was very short.
Su Yue could even see the old tree covered with furry bright orange mushrooms next to them when they first stood there waiting to be hooked.
Then they saw the cave.
.
There are countless caves in the Ten Thousand Mountains. People have no way of judging the internal structure of the cave from the cave entrance. Otherwise, humans would not be able to conceive of the term "a different world".
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary cave. Condensed dew hung on the rocks, making them wet. Some of the stones were covered with a short, dense, and slippery layer of moss. Su Yue was suddenly startled because he noticed a sign hanging above the cave.
It is the kind of sign you often see in tourist attractions. It has a wooden base and red Weibei-style Chinese characters. The four big characters are also very tourist attractions:
Water Moon Cave.
Su Yue was confused. What the hell was this?
It can't be some low-quality marketing strategy to trick the two of them into spending money. It's impossible to trick two Feng Shui masters either. How could a Feng Shui master be fooled?
But now is not the time to discuss this. No matter why there is such a sign outside, the order from the Ministry of Gods and the malice that can still be clearly felt at this moment indicate that there are indeed monsters here, and we must first find out the situation.
Once you enter the cave, you’ll find that it’s indeed a tourist attraction, or at least it used to be.
Because the stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling and the stalagmites standing on the ground are all equipped with colorful cold light lamps, and there is also a built plank road on the ground.
Most of those cold light lamps were broken, but there were still one or two that were particularly brightly lit, dimly illuminating the terrain inside the cave.
The artificially trimmed plank road has been damaged every three steps due to lack of maintenance. There is an underground river underneath with an apparently abundant flow of water. The stalactites and stalagmites beside it stand up and down in an interlaced pattern like the teeth of a monster, so the entire cave looks like a bloody mouth that will close with a click at any time.
After walking a few dozen meters deep into the cave, the plank road ended. The terrain of the cave suddenly dropped. There were several stone pillars that had not been completely separated, forming a rib-like structure in the space together with the darkness.
Su Yue used the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate the area behind the "ribs". There was a bottomless darkness there, and the flashlight could only barely see the nearby area. There were white animal bones scattered on the ground.
But the trap did not lure them to their death.
As mentioned earlier, there are many forks in the road in a cave. In exaggerated cases, all the caves on a mountain are even connected. It is the same in this cave. In addition to the place of death, there is another fork in the road.
The smell of the trap became noticeably stronger at the fork in the road. Not only was the trap's sweet and greasy smell thicker, but even the subtle malice was so thick here that it was almost tangible.
This place was obviously the habitat of the cave god. Su Yue didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. He didn't do anything tricky and just pretended to be a human being who was bewildered and lost his mind, following the rich and sweet smell.
Cang Zhi moved a little behind him, and Su Yue made a "wait" gesture to him imperceptibly. He knew Su Yue's strength, so he waited outside.
.
Walking forward, the ground also went down and the road became very narrow, so narrow that Su Yue's hair was about to touch the top of the cave.
The humidity in the air increased significantly, dew could almost condense on the tip of my nose, and the rocks under my feet became more slippery, so I had to be extra careful with every step.
When he reached a corner, Su Yue suddenly stumbled!
He steadied himself very quickly, but his expression changed slightly.
Because even if the rocks here are slippery, it is impossible for him to slip. When he tripped just now, he felt very clearly that there was something round, like a small stick under his feet.
Su Yue had already seen out of the corner of his eye that an exquisite silver hairpin was rolling on the ground.
It is exactly the same ornaments worn by the four girls in the video.
.
Originally, Su Yue had followed this person who coveted him with malicious intent all the way here with the intention of teasing him, but when he saw the silver hairpin, his mentality changed.
He gritted his teeth secretly, and turned a corner under the guidance of the trap. Suddenly, his sight became clear and the cave god's lair was right in front of him.
This is a separate cave. Below the rock wall where Su Yue stands is a pool of water. In the mountains, such a pool of water is considered very large and can even be called a small lake.
There is a part of the rock inside the rock wall that emits a turbid green phosphorescence. This is a kind of natural luminous stone. The phosphorescence illuminates the pool water, which is almost pitch black and does not allow any light to penetrate. Just one look at it will make people feel creepy.
The smell of the trap became stronger, a mixture of the sweet scent of nectar and the fishy smell of water, making Su Yue feel a little nauseous.
The smell tempted him to jump right in, but of course he wouldn't do it.
He stayed on the rocks on the shore and didn't move. He seemed hesitant and confused about whether he should go down.
When the smell of the trap gets stronger, Su Yue takes half a step forward. But when the smell of the trap gets stronger, he seems to be about to wake up, frowns slightly, and takes another half step back.
Su Yue was already very beautiful, with a slender figure, and with her white clothes and white hair, she looked even more otherworldly and spotless standing in this deep and dark cave.
But his trouser legs were slightly stained from walking in the cave, like a tiny flaw on white jade, which made people want to defile him even more.
After pulling back and forth a few times, seeing that Su Yue still wasn't taking the bait, a string of bubbles began to appear in the water.
The cave god finally couldn't bear it anymore.
The beautiful prey was right in front of him, but he just couldn't get it. Even the cunning cave god couldn't bear it anymore.
Large strings of bubbles emerged in the small pond like boiling water. The young angler Su Yue glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, but his gaze was still beautifully empty.
The stalemate lasted less than half a minute, and then, accompanied by a heavy sound of water emerging, a huge, sticky tentacle rose out of the water.
Su Yue: Damn!
Aren’t they all said to be handsome guys?!
The cave god in front of him was not only worlds apart from the "handsome guy", but at least there was not the slightest resemblance between them. The huge tentacle looked a bit like an octopus in shape, but its texture was more like a slug, and it rolled towards Su Yue's waist in a sticky manner.
The stench of aquatic creatures hit his nose. Su Yue no longer hesitated. The large piece of salt he had asked the villagers for was already in his hand. Filled with anger towards the cave god, he slapped the salt all over the huge tentacle.
Suddenly, there was a roar like muffled thunder under the water, and the tentacles twitched violently. Then it was obviously enraged, and its tentacles rolled horizontally towards Su Yue's waist!
At the critical moment, a huge rock suddenly flew past Su Yue's eyes. With a loud "bang", the rock nailed the tentacles to the rock wall!
After its tentacles were nailed to the rock wall, it struggled even more violently, and the entire mountain wall seemed to be shaken by it.
Just when Su Yue thought that this attack would be met with a fierce counterattack, there was a "pop" sound.
The cave god's tentacles were actually broken.
The cave god was freed from the shackles of the rock and, with a broken leg, plopped back into the water. A string of fine bubbles emerged from the surface of the pond, and the cave god disappeared without a trace.
Su Yue: "..."
Are you going through so much trouble just to run away?
.
After the cave god disappeared, the water surface returned to complete calm. Under the illumination of the dim green phosphorescence, a human figure appeared on the ground next to Su Yue's shadow.
Su Yue turned back, and Cang Zhi approached. The two stood side by side in front of the small pond. The cloying smell of the trap had completely dissipated, leaving only the cold, hard smell of water, which filled the air. The rock Cang Zhi had thrown was still nailed to the rock wall, and below it was a large water stain left by the cave spirit's tentacles.
Su Yue: "You were so cruel just now."
Cang Zhi: “…”
Cang Zhi: "It's been too long since I last took action. I can't control myself."
