A vine under Shi Lingyao's feet supported her slowly to the end. Jing Hexuan's dagger was inserted into the cave wall, and it slid down with sparks and lightning.
They stood at the bottom of the pit, the ground beneath their feet was extremely hard.
The two looked at each other.
Shi Lingyao: "It seems this trap has been around for a while."
Jing Hexuan nodded: "The hardness of the ground under your feet is no worse than the frozen soil outside."
Each of them had a torch, Jing Hexuan took the lead, and they walked into the passage one after the other.
This passage is much larger than the crack just now. It is okay for the two of them to walk side by side. The height is just right for Shi Lingyao, but Jing Hexuan still has to lower his head and bend his waist.
"It seems that this is a passage that can enter the city." Shi Lingyao said.
Jing Hexuan speculated: "Perhaps it is for the convenience of transporting the prey back?"
She nodded: "It's very possible, but they just ran into the city without fear of prey?"
After speaking, I subconsciously looked back at the place where I just landed. There was no design that could imprison the prey. You can't hope that you can kill the prey from this height, right?
From a height of two to three feet, if a normal animal or human falls without any precautions, it may break an arm or a leg. If a mutated animal or zombie is caught, wouldn't it lead to a wolf entering the house?
Unless they are not afraid of these things.
She had doubts.
Even if Taoyuan City is not afraid of zombies, it still separates the inner and outer cities, and this small mountain tribe actually leaves the passage open like this.
She spread her mind, explored the path first, and determined that the target of this passage was the mountain tribe they had discovered before.
There was still nothing inside.
At this time, there were only two of them, and she confessed her doubts: "Why can't I detect those mutated animals in advance?"
Jing Hexuan turned to look at her: "Did you find nothing at this moment?"
She nodded.
Jing Hexuan's expression was a little solemn: "That only shows that these mutated animals are special."
He didn't even wonder if Shi Lingyao had made a detection error. All speculations were based on her judgment.
She liked this feeling of being trusted wholeheartedly, so she confessed her inner speculations one by one:
"Although I was in a hurry just now, I still took the time to observe carefully. Judging from the appearance alone, there is no difference from the mutant animals we see in daily life. Because there are monster zombies as a warning, I also paid careful attention to their eyes. They are just ordinary animals. The grayish-white color of zombies is not blood red.”
Jing Hexuan listened carefully and nodded from time to time: "But judging from the behavior of those mutated animals, they seem to be as manic as the monster zombies."
She nodded in agreement: "Ordinary zombies will wander around aimlessly almost immediately after losing their human target. They are obviously scattered individuals. Although these mutated animals also have limitations in the range of sensing targets, they are obviously one group."
She said, then added: "These animals are a whole group, all acting together. When they lose their target, they leave together in the same direction."
Jing Hexuan nodded when he heard this. He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly asked: "Which direction did you see them going?"
She paused and pointed straight ahead.
At the end of the fire, the dark hole looked like a huge beast's throat, spreading into the horrible hell of ignorance.
The two looked at each other.
Jing Hexuan asked again: "Have you entered the city?"
There was no beginning to the end of this statement, but she understood it instantly. Just as she was about to answer, she suddenly looked stunned.
Seeing the difference in her expression, Jing Hexuan asked her, "What did you think of?"
She stopped and seemed to be thinking, speaking slowly: "We were surrounded on the altar and I didn't notice anything unusual before the abnormal noise happened."
Jing Hexuan just nodded and didn't say anything to disturb him.
"Then we left the rift, and I monitored the whole process and tracked them until they left."
"At first, I just thought that the range was beyond my mental perception. After all, it was separated by the mountain. Now it is unknown what range my ability can reach across the thick mountain."
"But when you asked, I suddenly thought that I lost consciousness after those mutated animals entered the building complex."
She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Jing Hexuan: "Is there a possibility that the group of buildings blocked my perception?"
Jing Hexuan looked back at her: "You will know once you try it."
She frowned slightly and asked knowingly: "What are you going to do?"
Jing Hexuan smiled and deliberately tried to show off to her: "We're almost within range, right?"
She smiled and nodded.
Jing Hexuan then stretched out his arm: "Do you mind if I'm rude?"
She snorted and said, "Who was the rude person just now?"
"It's a small one." Jing Hexuan made an apology gesture, "It's really an emergency and I can't care about that much. But I still have some free time at the moment, so I have to ask for your instructions."
There was a hint of teasing on her face, she raised her hands slightly like a queen and raised her chin.
Jing Hexuan didn't seem to expect that she was so down-to-earth and generous. He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes, suppressed the playful expression on his face, took a step forward, and with a very serious look, stretched out his hand to stop her waist.
The bright light of the torch illuminated his brows and eyes. At this moment, his handsome and stern face like a mountain was immersed in the orange light, showing a warm, soft and caring attitude.
The scenery jumped instantly, and then it seemed like it didn't.
The flames danced.
The surroundings were still dark and man-made passages.
Shi Lingyao didn't care to keep his feet steady, and used his mind to explore the ancient city in the mountain cavity. It was half a mile away, and it was only a stone's throw away from the exit.
Jing Hexuan's arm tightened around her waist. After she stood firm, he immediately took his hand back, clenched his fist with restraint and then released it.
He took a step forward and asked, "How is it?"
She shook her head: "You can see the buildings very clearly, but there is nothing else."
Jing Hexuan pondered for a moment, then the halberd suddenly appeared in his hand, and with the sound of breaking wind, it hit the wall nearby.
"boom!"
A huge, dull sound echoed in the tunnel, leaving a lingering reverberation.
Shi Ling listened carefully, mainly relying on his mind to perceive.
The two waited in silence for a moment, and soon there was faint movement.
They looked at each other.
Jing Hexuan's hands had already wrapped around her waist again, ready to run away at any time.
Shi Lingyao was fully focused, her mind and perception closely "staring" at the boundary of the building.
"Whoosh——"
A black shadow shot out of the air at the edge of the building like an arrow, as if appearing out of thin air, as if that boundary connected another world, and these mutated animals were like products of each world, coming from the connection between the two worlds. Tearing out of the gap.
"Saw it!"
As soon as Shi Lingyao finished speaking, his waist tightened, and the scene in front of him changed instantly.
