"I seem to hear my grandma calling me!" At this moment, Zhang Meng grabbed the hand of the man next to her and said excitedly.
Gu Mingtai looked at his extremely excited daughter-in-law and frowned. "Wife, did you hear it wrong? We are in a deep cave. How could grandma and the others be here? You must have heard it wrong."
Zhang Meng asked stupidly, "Really? But I just heard it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly became excited again, "I heard it again, grandma is calling me over there."
Zhang Meng let go of his hand and strode towards the place where Xiao Ling and the others had just gone.
Seeing this, Gu Mingtai frowned even deeper and glanced at You Hui and the others. "There's something strange about that place. Let's go take a look."
Without waiting for their reaction, Gu Mingtai took the lead and chased after Zhang Meng.
When they ran over, they found that the two adults and one child were behaving very strangely.
Xiao Ling and the little boy looked like they were eating. Although they had nothing in their hands, their expressions showed that they were enjoying it very much.
Zhang Meng's situation was also very strange. She was holding a stone and calling for her grandma.
You Hui was stunned. After a long pause, he looked towards Gu Mingtai and asked, "Comrade Gu, what happened to Comrade Zhang and my junior sister?"
Gu Mingtai looked around and said with a vigilant look, "There's something strange in this cave. It must be some master who has set up a dream barrier here!"
"Dream barrier!" Youhui's face changed when he heard these four words.
Youwu saw his senior brother's expression change, so he stepped forward and asked, "Senior brother, do you know about this barrier?"
You Hui nodded. "I've heard Master mention it before, but Master said that no one in this world would set up this barrier anymore! I didn't expect there would be one in this deep cave!"
"Wow, so much money, so much money, that's great, my family will have food to eat and won't be hungry anymore." At this moment, Yu the hunter who was standing next to them suddenly laughed while holding a pile of soil on the ground.
"He's treating this dirt as money."
Youhui looked at Yu the Hunter who looked like a madman, shook his head and smiled.
You Wu looked at the remaining three of them and said, "Big Brother, I don't understand why you, me, and Comrade Gu aren't bewitched by the outcome of this dream."
Just as You Hui was about to respond, Gu Mingtai's voice suddenly rang out, "This dream only creates illusions for those who have desires in their hearts. We have no desires in our hearts, so we are immune to the temptation of this barrier."
After saying this, Gu Mingtai immediately walked up and gently tapped Zhang Meng on the forehead.
Zhang Meng, who had just been holding a stone and calling for her grandma, was stunned, and her confused look immediately became clear.
Zhang Meng looked down and saw the stone in her arms. She was stunned for a moment, then she saw the man standing next to her and immediately asked, "Gu Mingtai, what's wrong with me?"
Gu Mingtai touched her cheek and said, "It's nothing. You were just affected by this dream barrier and mistook this stone for your grandmother."
Zhang Meng was startled and quickly threw the stone in his hand away, frowning, "Is there a barrier here?"
Gu Mingtai nodded. "Well, I don't know who put this barrier here, but fortunately it's not a harmful barrier."
On the other side, Xiao Ling, Yu Liehu and others also came back to their senses one after another.
"Let's get out of here quickly." Seeing that everyone was awake, Gu Mingtai said this and quickly left the cave holding Zhang Meng's hand.
"Hey, this stone is so beautiful." The little boy who was being led by Xiao Ling suddenly raised his hand and picked out a colorful stone from the wall of the cave.
There was only a crackling sound in the air.
Everyone was so scared that they immediately moved closer to each other.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ling hugged the little boy in fear.
Gu Mingtai's sharp eyes swept over the little boy in her arms, "He just triggered another barrier. Just now it was life, this time it's death."
The little boy shuddered when he received Gu Mingtai's glance. He threw himself pitifully into Xiao Ling's arms and cried, "Sister Xiao Ling, I didn't mean it."
Xiao Ling hugged him tightly and comforted him, "Sister, of course I believe you didn't mean it. Don't worry, no one will blame you."
At this time, You Wu, who had gone out to investigate the situation, came over with a worried look on his face. "We can't get out of the cave outside. It seems like there's something blocking us."
"What should we do? We won't die here, will we?" Yu the Hunter became extremely anxious when he heard that they couldn't go out.
Suddenly, everyone heard some sound coming from the cave.
Yu Hunter swallowed his saliva and said, "There seems to be a sound inside!"
Zhang Meng stared straight ahead and said with certainty, "It's not just a sound, there really is a sound."
"Could it be those poisonous toads?" Youwu looked at her and asked.
Zhang Meng shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Seeing this, Xiao Ling curled her lips and said, "What can you know by standing here? Just go over and take a look. If you are scared, just stay here. I'll go over and take a look." As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ling took the little boy's hand and walked inside.
"Xiao Ling." You Hui called out to her back.
But her back showed no intention of stopping.
Xiao Ling walked in, lay on the wall, and shone the flashlight inside. What she saw almost made her scream.
There were three shriveled figures huddled in the cave, gnawing on something.
She shone the flashlight on what they had in their hands, and she immediately couldn't help it. She pulled the little boy aside and started vomiting violently.
Seeing this, everyone behind her ran towards her. "Junior Sister, what did you see?"
Youhui looked at her worriedly and asked.
Xiao Ling spat out several mouthfuls of sour water, and pointed inside with trembling lips, stammering, "Inside, inside there are, there are zombies eating people, so, so scary."
As soon as everyone heard her words, they immediately picked up their weapons and looked inside nervously.
The hunter clutched Youwu's arm tightly and explained as if he was crying, "I remember, I remember the older generation said that this deep cave was used to hold lepers. These people must be those lepers."
