heard it.
"Is it her?" Lu Qianqian looked at Jasmine.
"who?"
"Xiaolan," Meili asked, "is it Xiaolan?"
Jasmine's frown trembled.
She felt it was a bit funny, but she didn't think about it at all.
"Of course not," Jasmine said happily, "That's not her voice, and..."
And why Xiaolan would cry for help is unimaginable.
But Jasmine somehow made up that scene in her mind.
"And what?"
"And...it's definitely not her anyway," Jasmine crossed her arms, "Xiaolan should still be in the river now, unless she can find some way to climb over..."
***
Xiaolan is crawling hard.
The space under the black mist was much larger than expected. As Xiaolan walked, he suddenly discovered that there was a dark hole in the stone wall, and the ant queue walked out of that hole. Just as Xiaolan When they came to the edge of the hole, the last member of the ant queue walked out of the hole. Xiaolan looked inside, leaned down, and got in.
Then, Xiaolan has been climbing until now.
It was pitch black in this cave, and it was impossible to see forward or backward. Xiaolan's back hurt from crawling, and she almost wanted to lie down on the ground and sleep.
At this time, Xiaolan thought for a moment, I am just a child.
So she lay down.
Xiaolan lay on the ground and took a few deep breaths comfortably (not very comfortable actually), and then she discovered that with her deep breaths, it wasn't just her belly that moved.
There seemed to be something pressing down on the lower back.
A small thing was being pressed under his back, moving up and down and left and right.
Xiaolan jumped up suddenly, pressed against the upper wall of the cave, and looked at that location with wide eyes.
Nothing can be seen.
However, Xiaolan heard the sound.
Tiny rustling sounds were coming from all around the black hole.
Xiaolan felt her scalp numb.
Xiaolan's right hand, which was pressed against the cave wall, suddenly felt the claws of some kind of hard-shelled animal.
this……
A small force tickled the back of Xiaolan's neck.
Can't wait any longer.
Xiaolan immediately let go, landed on all fours, and ran forward while rolling and crawling.
Along the way, when his hands and feet came into contact with the cave wall, he felt the feeling of the movement of hard-shelled animals from time to time. Xiaolan couldn't imagine what this thing looked like, so he kept rushing forward.
Although he couldn't see anything, Xiaolan could feel that those things were still there.
When will it end...
A few seconds later, Xiaolan screamed, her feet were empty, and she fell straight down.
Fortunately, it's finally over.
Xiaolan fell into a ball of bouncy stuff.
Fortunately, he didn't fall to death.
Xiaolan sniffed and frowned.
The air around me was stuffy and smelly, giving me an indescribable feeling of suffocation.
Xiaolan stood up holding on to the ground. The things under her feet were uneven and a little soft. When she raised her hands, her palms were filled with thick and pungent mucus.
Why does it seem...not a good place?
Xiaolan raised her eyes.
At some point, countless pairs of green eyes appeared in the surrounding stars, staring at her eagerly.

"And Xiaolan is not afraid of snakes, how could she be bullied by a snake?" Jasmine waved her hand nonchalantly.
"Is that someone else?" Merry was a little worried, "Should we go and have a look?"
"Wait a minute," Lu Qianqian suddenly raised his arm, "I think... this may be the second plan of those snakes."
Jasmine also nodded, "Yes, some snakes can imitate humans and make certain simple syllables. They will imitate many animals to attract prey."
"Then we won't go?"
"We still have to go there," Jasmine blinked, "But we can't walk there directly. Let's find another way."
The resentful whimpering sound came from right in front of them. They only had to walk through the atrium of the ruins and look to the right. However, they decided to find another way, walked out of the main entrance, and went around the outside wall.
The three of them calmly walked around the right wall step by step.
I heard that cry.
Sure enough, the cry came from an abandoned garden behind the atrium.
The three of them lay on the edge of the wall and looked at the once exquisite garden.
The specific location of the cry seemed to be a barren land. On that land, there was an old tree root that had dried up, and there was nothing else.
It's indeed a trap.
So what exactly is that sound making?
The crying continued for a while.
Then, as if he noticed the strange silence around him, the crying began to stop intermittently, and a small earth bag was raised on the ground in the center of the flower bed.
It's about to appear.
A pair of scarlet eyes poked out of the soil, like searchlights, and began to look around.
The three of them immediately retracted their bodies and hid behind the wall.
None of their faces look very pretty.
This time the snake can not only speak human language, but also escape from the earth.
More importantly, judging from the size of the pair of eyes, the snake this time was not like the gadgets he had collected before.
This is a big guy.
At this moment, they wanted to communicate with each other, but the situation did not give them the opportunity, so the three of them could only stare at each other and use the basically non-existent tacit understanding to seek communication.
How to do how to do?
Will we have a chance of winning if we go together?
Calm down, calm down first...
Shhh——
Lu Qianqian made a useless silence gesture, then pointed at her ear with her finger.
listen?
I don't know when, the whimpering disappeared.
Instead, there was the sound of snake scales rubbing against the ground.
The sound was approaching them.
Although I didn’t expect to hide for the rest of my life, but unfortunately, I was discovered!
Lu Qianqian slowly raised the spike in his hand.
The breathing of the three people gradually became faster.
But the friction sound stopped suddenly.
Gulu gulu...
After that, there was the sound of a string of marbles falling to the ground and rolling on the ground.
Gulu gulu...
The three of them all turned their heads and looked over.
A pair of round marble-sized balls rolled next to them.
What's this?
The three of them were leaning on each other's shoulders, staring intently at the pair of balls.
The pair of round balls had a somewhat translucent texture, showing a turbid white color under the dim moonlight.
Meili, who was standing on the innermost side, couldn't see clearly. He muttered "What is this" in his mind and tried to stretch his neck to look over.
Lu Qianqian next to her suddenly grabbed her hand.
Merry opened his mouth and screamed silently.
Lu Qianqian turned her head, and Meili was surprised to find that her face had turned pale.
She opened her mouth and mouthed two words.
Merry frowned and mouthed back, "What?"
Lu Qianqian repeated it again.
Meri thought to herself.
She got it.
Cold all over.
She raised her head and looked at the pair of balls again.
Those are a pair of human eyes.
