When Yang Si woke up, he saw a face looking at him with a smile. He was so frightened that he yelled "Ghost", turned over and ran away, but as soon as he stood up, his collar was grabbed by a hand.
This time, he finally saw the face clearly.
A face that is white, plump and big, with a big mouth and light eyebrows. He is smiling, but his face is not smiling, as if his face will change in the next moment.
"Fourth Master Chen!"
He immediately recognized this person as Chen Si, known as the "Smiling Tiger", the helmsman of the Cao Gang's branch in Sanchuan County.
Chen Sidao: "Do you recognize me?"
Yang Si nodded like he was pounding garlic, and said: "I am Yang Si. On the day of your fiftieth birthday, I gave you a pair of little jade horses. They are great treasures."
"It's you!"
Chen Si was a little impressed, and then asked: "What are you doing here?"
Yang Si's little eyes were rolling, and he was just thinking about what to say, when Chen Si sneered and said, "Are you here for that elixir too?"
"Is there really a magic medicine here?" Yang Si blurted out.
At this moment, Chen Si pinched his throat, opened his mouth, and then stuffed a fishy and smelly black pill into his mouth.
Chen Si let go of his hand, and Yang Si was relieved. He quickly put his fingers into his mouth and dug and pinched, but the pill had already entered his stomach, so how could he spit it out so easily.
He looked at Chen Si in horror and said, "Fourth Master, what did you give me to eat?"
Chen Sidao: "It's nothing, it just makes you more obedient."
He slowly found a stone to sit down and said: "I heard that your boy knows how to disguise himself and is also good at qinggong. Keep an eye on those Linjiabao people and come back every three hours to tell me the situation. Otherwise... hum!"
In his heart, Yang Si scolded all the eighteen generations of this man's ancestors. The birthday gifts he gave him were all fed to dogs, and they treated him like this. But on the outside, he still licked a smiling face and said: "Fourth Master Don’t worry, I will definitely take care of it for you!”
"Go!"
Chen Si raised his hand, and Yang Si ran away immediately, but then he heard another voice: "Come back!"
Yang Si quickly ran back, nodded and bowed, and said: "Fourth Master, do you have any other orders?"
Chen Si said: "You are not allowed to call Yang Si again in the future!"
Yang Si didn't dare to refute, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes! Yes! From now on, the younger one will not be called Yang Si, but Yang Wu, no, he will be called Yang Xiaosi!"
Chen Si patted his face and said, "You are a teachable boy! As long as you get the elixir, you will be my godson, Chen Si! Follow me to live a good life and drink spicy food!"
Yang Si immediately changed his mind: "Yes! Godfather!"
"Go!"
After being pardoned by Chen Si, Yang Si quickly disappeared. In a deserted area, he broke out and cursed: "Fuck you Chen Si! I cursed you to give birth to a son without an asshole! You still want to be a young master." My dear, go ahead and eat shit!"
He reached out to pick it in his mouth again, spitting out the bitter water, but he didn't see the dregs of the pill.
"Why? Why is my life so miserable! Father! Mother! Your son has been poisoned! He is about to die!"
The ghost howled for a while without even shedding a single tear, but the rock wall not far away caught his attention.
Chen Si walked back and forth towards a rock wall, looking back and forth. The more he looked at him, the more he felt something was wrong.
The rock walls retain the sulfur lime left behind after the volcanic eruption, and they look like they are covered with leprous. There is one place that is different. Not only do they exist, but there are many of them, forming ditches and loops from top to bottom.
Chen Si grabbed the raised part and exerted force. With a click, a large rock on the rock wall slowly opened from the inside out like a door.
After a moment, a door more than three meters high and one meter wide appeared, enough for one person to walk in.
Yang Si couldn't help but exclaim: "Absolute! Absolutely amazing!"
No wonder Chen Si didn't come to check it out himself. Chen Si must have come to check it out before, but he didn't find this extremely hidden entrance, so he was asked to come.
Entering the stone gate, it suddenly becomes clearer and wider as you go inside. There are huge stalactites growing on the top of the stone cave. This is a natural cave!
There are colorful stones in the cave, which are beautiful and colorful under the refraction of light.
Chen Si was in the cave, as if he had entered a mythical world. He had never seen such a magical place.
Looking at the colorful stones, he burst into tears. He rushed to a red stone, touched and gnawed it.
He grabbed one piece after another, and soon his arms were filled with bulges. He lay on a large blue stone and laughed loudly, and the sound echoed in the cave.
Suddenly, he covered his mouth, looked around, and ran away like a rabbit.
Sure enough, not long after he left, a two-meter-tall young man returned here. Seeing that the stone gate was well closed, he found nothing unusual and left again.
Outside the cave, Yang Si was wondering whether he should go back and report to Chen Si. If Chen Si was lured over, they would not be able to count on the elixir.
But thinking that he was poisoned and his life was at stake, he could only bring Chen Si here.
Chen Si looked at the stone cave in front of him, nodded and said: "Not bad! I didn't expect you to find it!" As he said that, he threw a pill to Yang Si.
Yang Si took a slight sniff and found a faint fragrance, so he ate it boldly.
He asked again: "Godfather, can I leave?"
"Let's go? You don't want the antidote anymore?" Chen Si snorted coldly and entered the grotto.
Yang Si's face turned green and white. Damn it, he thought that was the antidote just now. After working on it for a long time, it was not a complete cure. He could only grit his teeth and keep up.
Because there are colored stones in the cave, the light inside is not bad. After walking a hundred steps, a large pond appears in front of you, bubbling and steaming.
The pond is connected to a small river, which extends deep into the cave. The river flows quietly.
The two walked hundreds of steps along the river, and two more corpses appeared on the ground. They were tall and strong, with bare arms. Judging from their attire, they were obviously from Linjiabao.
Chen Si knelt down and took a closer look. The faces and upper bodies of the two corpses were covered with blood stains. The blood on the wounds was not dry yet. It was obvious that they had died not long ago.
The fatal injuries were not these. There were two small holes in the necks of the two men, the size of steel needles, which should have been left by some kind of flying creature.
Chen Si stood up, his big and white face full of solemnity. Sure enough, there was an unknown danger hidden here.
This also shows that they are in the right place. The more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunity.
Yang Si retreated when he saw the corpse on the ground, but Chen Si glared at him and followed him obediently.
There is a natural tunnel leading inside the cave, which is long and rugged. The deeper you go in, the higher the temperature inside the cave becomes. It's like you're around a huge stove, and it's unbearably hot.
The feces of some creatures can be seen on the ground one after another. The further you go in, the more feces you get, layer by layer.
Yang Si pointed at the thick excrement, which was black and thick, just like dog shit, and exclaimed in shock: "What the hell did this shit come from? Why are there so many?"
"Snapped!"
Chen Si slapped him on the head and said angrily: "You kid, don't be so surprised that you attract those things in the cave. You won't even know how you died!"
Some of the excrement on the ground was still fresh. It was obvious that they had just defecated not long ago. They were getting closer to the unknown creature, and it was probably nearby!
Yang Si shut his mouth obediently, pinched his nose, and was about to go down.
"Wow!!!"
A shadow flashed before Yang Si's eyes. Before he could see what it was, a pair of huge wings flapped towards him.
He immediately raised his arms to block in front of him, and then felt his arms being slapped by a huge force. He yelled and fell to the ground on his back.
Both arms were in excruciating pain. He looked closely and saw that the two sleeves had been torn to pieces, and there were several blood marks on the arms, dripping with blood.
I saw the huge shadow continuing to rush towards Chen Si. Chen Si threw out a dart, and a wisp of smelly red blood fell from the air.
The shadow seemed to have lost its source of power and fell from mid-air to the ground.
The two finally got a clear look at the creature.
It looks like a bat, hairless, with a blood-red body and a human face. Two fangs are exposed, as sharp as steel needles.
It is much larger than ordinary bats, measuring forty or fifty centimeters, as big as a newborn baby.
After being hit by a dart, it didn't die immediately. It was still struggling there, flapping its huge wings and jumping. Yang Si was so frightened that he quickly got up from the ground.
You know, Chen Si is a genuine Dacheng realm martial artist. His attack was so powerful that he didn't kill it directly.
Chen Si threw out a dart again, and the dart sank into its body, and it completely stopped moving.
"Isn't this bat too damn big?" Yang Si's scalp felt numb, and his intuition told him that this thing could definitely kill him.
Chen Si said solemnly: "This is not an ordinary bat, it is a human-faced blood bat, a strange species among bats. It lives in a volcanic cave and likes to eat blood!"
"Is this a legendary beast?" Yang Si asked.
Chen Si nodded: "Not bad!"
There are countless creatures in the world, and there will always be some different individuals, and strange beasts are one of them. Compared with ordinary beasts, exotic beasts have a certain degree of intelligence, and most of them have strong attack power.
The two Linjiabao people we met on the way here were not as powerful as the warriors, but they were still buried by the human-faced blood bats, which shows that their strength is absolutely extraordinary.
"Daddy, this place is too weird. If there is no elixir inside and we encounter a bigger human-faced blood bat again, let's... or... why don't we go back?" Yang Si retreated.
"Hmph! You've finally found the right place, there must be some magic medicine here!"
A smile appeared on Chen Si's face. He had heard that elixirs were often surrounded by strange beasts and monsters to guard them. Now he was more confident and continued to go deeper into the cave.
Yang Si had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow. The antidote was still in their hands. He would leave now unless he didn't want to live anymore.
On the way, they didn't encounter any more human-faced blood bats, but they did encounter a few corpses of Linjiabao people.
After walking another hundred or so steps, the cave suddenly opened up, and a cry of killing came from the front.
