Su Ruojin stood up and picked up Mao Mao: "You lead the way."
"Woof woof~~" Mao Mao barked twice, as if in response, and then raised its little paw and pointed forward.
But the cave was so clear that there was no way forward.
Although Su Ruojin was puzzled, she still followed Mao Mao over.
Reaching the cave wall, Mao Mao jumped down from Su Ruojin's arms and kicked a corner of the cave wall with its hind leg.
Rumble~~
The cave wall receded, revealing a secret chamber.
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu looked at each other in surprise. If it weren't for the little guy leading the way, they wouldn't have noticed that there was a secret room here at all.
Where Mao Mao kicked, there was a rock the size of an adult man's fist, deeply embedded in the wall.
Su Ruojin hadn't expected the little thing in her arms to have such strength.
As we followed Mao Mao into the secret chamber, a cool breeze swept over us, instantly relieving the intense heat of being by the lava pool.
The contents of the secret room surprised the two of them once again.
The secret room was very large, with stone bookshelves, stone tables, stone chairs, stone beds, and even a piece of land covered with bright red grass and white flowers.
A stream of water flowed into the wall above the land, irrigating the land.
"Woof woof~" Mao Mao barked in front of the red grass, gesturing for the two to come over.
Then, Mao Mao used its little paws to pluck a blade of grass and put it in its mouth to eat, looking very satisfied.
It quickly finished eating a blade of grass, then plucked another and flew to Su Ruojin's side, handing it to her.
Does this mean she should eat it too?
What kind of grass is this?
Su Ruojin had never seen it before, so naturally she wouldn't eat it.
However, she couldn't bear to refuse Mao Mao's kindness and bent down to accept it.
"Wow~"
"Ah Jin, watch out!"
Xiao Yanchu leaped forward to shield Su Ruojin, but a human-faced snake, appearing out of nowhere, bit his right chest.
Xiao Yanchu let out a muffled groan and his body slowly slid down.
Damn it!
It was that lingering, human-faced snake.
Presumably, after the formation was broken, the human-faced snake fell here along with them.
The temperature here is high, and the human-faced snake that had been frozen into a deep sleep by the cold has gradually woken up.
I don't know if it has learned its lesson, but it stopped making noise, quietly crawled here, and then suddenly launched an attack.
After biting Xiao Yanchu, the human-faced snake turned its head to continue attacking Su Ruojin.
At such close range, Su Ruojin had no way to avoid it.
The next instant, Mao Mao flew over and bit the human-faced snake. Its two little paws gripped the snake's face tightly, dragging it to the ground.
Then Mao Mao hugged the human-faced snake and started gnawing on it, as if it were eating something delicious.
Su Ruojin didn't even have time to look at Mao Mao; she hugged Xiao Yanchu, who had been bitten, and her eyes reddened.
There is no cure for the venom of the human-faced snake!
"Xiao Yanchu, hang in there. I'll give you acupuncture to detoxify you right away. Just hold on, the poison will be gone soon."
Su Ruojin tore open the front of Xiao Yanchu's clothes and saw that the place where he had been bitten by the human-faced snake had no blood except for two tooth marks.
The muscle around the teeth marks visibly turned grayish-green, and when pressed with a hand, it was as hard as a stone, with the grayish-green color slowly spreading outwards.
