Chapter 26 "Good for peeling apples"



Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi had already entered the cave. As soon as they landed, Hei Xiazi realized something was wrong. Xie Yuchen was about to move forward when Hei Xiazi stopped him and said, "Wait, this smell is wrong."

"Huh?" Xie Yuchen was a little confused. After hearing what Hei Xia Zi said, he shone the flashlight around. This hole was stickier than the previous one. There were rats, lizards, and human bones hanging on the ceiling.

"How did they die?" Xie Yuchen asked.

"They died of suffocation." Hei Xiazi shone his flashlight on the animal corpses in front of them that were entangled in something, and twisted them with his hands. "Look, they are all entangled in this thing."

Xie Yuchen also used his flashlight to take a closer look after hearing this. "It's mycelium."

"Mycelium? Now we have something to eat!" Hei Xiazi glanced at Jie Yuchen, then turned back and pulled the mycelium.

"Stop messing around. Did you hear anything?" Xie Yuchen was helpless. This guy always loved to joke around.

"Of course, I'm blind, and we've been hearing this noise for a while." Black Blind Man responded.

"Not a human." Xie Yuchen frowned slightly.

"It's definitely not a human. How can a human slide?" Hei Xiazi still looked like he didn't care.

"What is that?"

Hei Xiazi put away his flashlight, turned around and said, "Big mushroom! I heard there's a kind of fungus that feeds on oil and secretes this kind of silk-like mycelium. Theoretically, it shouldn't be too big, but think about it, it's been here for at least decades, so it's hard to say how big it is."

Dong Shuangcheng in the dark looked at the man with glasses and analyzed it. The only thing he did wrong was that there was indeed a mushroom spirit here before, but she dealt with it when she came, and now it has uprooted it and run away.

She didn't notice it when she followed them at first, but when she got closer, she found that they had the aura of the little prince and might be the little prince's friends. That's why she didn't take any action. It was a pity to waste two good snacks. If she encountered such a thing next time, she didn't know how long she would have to wait.

Dong Shuangcheng took one last look at Hei Xia Zi and Jie Yu Chen, reluctantly looked away, and left quietly. She was going to find some food to go with the wine, and she didn't want to waste time with these two people who couldn't eat.

As the two were studying whether the giant mushroom would attack people, something suddenly rushed across the sand wall. Xie Yuchen asked, "What is that?"

"Gerbil..."

"That's easy!"

"Yes! If the gerbil can find a gap to get in, then we can get out!" Black Bear suddenly realized.

"Of course." Xie Yuchen smiled and looked around to see where the gerbil hole was.

Hei Xiazi suddenly realized, "No, you're not saying that you can get into this gerbil hole?"

"When you get out this time, you should practice shrinking your bones."

Hei Xia Zi shook his head and said, "That won't work. That's just childish skill. I can't catch up."

As the two were watching, a drop of Big Mushroom's saliva fell on Hei Xia Zi's sleeve. Xie Yuchen quickly grabbed his clothes and pulled them off.

"Why are you provoking it for no reason?" Xie Yuchen said unhappily.

"I'm just studying it. You acted too quickly and I haven't seen it clearly yet." Hei Xiazi said with a smile.

"Hurry up and get out, or you'll really have to hang here to dry."

Hei Xiazi slowly turned the flashlight towards Xie Yuchen and asked, "How do I get there?"

Xie Yuchen also shone the flashlight towards Hei Xia Zi with a smile on his face: "This depends on you."

"No... I can't walk anymore!"

Ji Huaichuan hung on Zhang Qiling's arm, and he followed Zhang Qiling as he walked a little. They walked too fast, and he really couldn't keep up!

The fat man laughed and joked, "Xiao Chuan'er, you were saying you couldn't walk half an hour ago."

"How can it be the same? Back then it was pure exhaustion, but now it's a sweet burden!" Ji Huaichuan said confidently.

Shen Tingsi, who was walking in front, noticed that Ji Huaichuan was about to start making trouble again, so he stopped and said, "Let's find a place to rest here first, and then we can continue on our journey. Fatty Panzi, you two should take a good rest too."

Ji Huaichuan waited anxiously but didn't get the greeting he wanted, so he frowned and said, "Mrs. Si, have you forgotten something?"

Shen Tingsi glanced at him and said lightly: "No."

"What about me? Don't you care about me?" Ji Huaichuan really didn't expect that the relationship between master and disciple would fade with age.

Shen Tingsi took out an ebony folding fan from somewhere and fanned himself while saying, "Why? It's not enough for me to care about two single guys, I have to bring you along too, the one with a partner?"

Pan Zi and Fatty: This is a personal attack! (′???)σ

Ji Huaichuan curled his lips and hugged Zhang Qiling, "Alright, alright, I understand, it's just that our feelings have faded, why bother explaining so much."

Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes to look at Ji Huaichuan, ruffled his hair, and said softly, "I can't."

Ji Huaichuan poked his belly. Hey, there are abdominal muscles! "I know you can't, I didn't say anything to you."

Zhang Qiling shut his mouth and pulled his hat. Xiaochuan always liked to touch him.

The fat man leaned over to Pan Zi and whispered, "Master Pan, look, this is the charm of love. Even the young man would be embarrassed. With his high energy, if he said he was going to dig wild vegetables one day, I would believe him."

Pan Zi tilted his head and whispered, "Hiss... No way, that's my brother."

"Hey, if you still don't believe me, just wait and see. I'm not talking nonsense, this guy is definitely in love!" The fat man said it firmly and patted Pan Zi on the shoulder.

"I still don't feel like..." Pan Zi expressed his reservations.

Shen Tingsi raised his eyebrows and felt speechless. Ji Huaichuan really hasn't changed at all. His acting skills are really better than his master.

"It should be almost noon now, and the sun is high in the sky. Excluding that person who is lagging behind, at our speed, if we don't rest, we should be able to walk about 40 kilometers before dark. If we are lucky, we can even find your young master." Shen Tingsi glanced at the sun and made such analysis.

Shen Tingsi didn't mean well, he was just bored. There were only a few people here, and they were all together. None of them could fight. If he started fighting with Zhang Qiling, the kid would definitely be the first to be dissatisfied and then angry. He didn't want to provoke him.

"Hey, who are you saying is holding us back?!"

Ji Huaichuan immediately understood that Chen Tingsi was implying something about him. He knew him too well and would feel uncomfortable if he didn't find an opportunity to say something bad about him.

Chen Tingsi tilted his head and smiled, "Ha, whoever takes over is the one who gets it, you little encumbrance."

Ji Huaichuan was furious and shook Zhang Qiling's hand, "Look, he bullies me!"

Zhang Qiling received the signal and looked up at Shen Tingsi. Shen Tingsi did not back down and raised his eyebrows at him. "I heard that you are good with knives. It's quite suitable for peeling apples."
