"How do you know I have no strength?"
"You...you are a little girl!"
"What's wrong, little girl?"
"..."
"Wait a moment," the long-haired boy stretched out his hand to interrupt the argument between Xiaolan and Lu Mao, "Aren't you two together?"
The two of them rolled their eyes at each other as an answer.
"Then you didn't know each other before?" the long-haired boy asked next.
If you know each other...it counts, but...
"I don't know." The two said solemnly.
The long-haired boy seemed a little more relieved, and his tense back relaxed a little, "Then I can consider it... but I think that if we cooperate, we must at least gain trust between each other. Right?"
Trust, Xiaolan has never felt that this thing is so far away.
But the two of them still let out two muffled "hmm" sounds from deep in their nasal cavities.
"That's it," the long-haired boy clapped his hands, "How about we tell each other a secret?"
Xiaolan looked at him hesitantly, "What secret?"
"The secrets related to the game," the long-haired boy's dark pupils revealed a confident light, "How about we tell each other the special props we have obtained so far?"
Xiaolan and Lumao both fell silent.
"You don't even have this bit of sincerity?" The long-haired boy narrowed his eyes.
Good guy, this guy just wants to do nothing.
Xiaolan absentmindedly shoveled the soil under her feet with her toes. After a while, she raised her head and said to the long-haired boy, "Then you go ahead."
Unexpectedly, the boy shook his head slowly, "I can't say it first...you go ahead and say it first. The little girl said it first just now. It's your turn now."
He pointed at Lu Mao.
Lu Mao was startled, then scratched his hair, "You... you will also say it, right?"
"Of course." The long-haired boy raised his eyebrows clearly.
"I...I only have one special prop now," Lu Mao put his hand into his pocket and took out a small mirror. "That's it, but I don't know what it can be used for yet."
This mirror is exactly the same as the mirror Xiaolan got in her dream not long ago.
The long-haired boy's eyes became darker. He nodded and turned to look at Xiaolan, "What about you?"
Xiaolan slowly took out her mirror and bone plate, "I have these two."
"You got a mirror too!" Lu Mao glanced at the small gold-green copper-framed mirror in Xiaolan's hand.
Xiaolan nodded, "But I don't know what its use is. I guess it can resist attacks or something."
"Then what is this for?" The long-haired boy pointed to the bone plate.
Xiaolan didn't want to lie anymore, so she shook her head ambiguously.
The two of them held the special props in their hands and looked at the long-haired boy with complicated eyes.
"It's your turn." Lu Mao reminded.
The long-haired boy sneered, "The special prop I got is to know what you all got."
His eyes struck them like cold arrows.
"So I know," the long-haired boy continued, "that neither of you are telling the truth."
The two of them were stunned for a while, and then they walked away half ashamed and half annoyed.
No wonder this guy would make such a suggestion.
snort.
Xiaolan pouted angrily.
The cooperation between the three failed and the relationship broke down.
The problem remains unresolved.
Gradually, the cave became dark, and the faint starlight reflected the dancing shadows of the trees outside the cave. Xiaolan sat in the corner, glancing at the two people who were equally confused from time to time.
I wonder if this night will be as peaceful as it looks.
Xiaolan tried hard to rely on self-comfort to gain inner peace.
At least since I fell here, I haven't encountered the terrifying giant snakes and worms again. Maybe this is a safe haven to avoid danger.
While the idea was still brewing, reality began to deny it.
Outside the cave, there was a subtle cracking sound as the feet crushed fallen leaves.
The footsteps were light and slow, accompanied by the low groan of some kind of beast.
The three of them looked at each other in horror and covered their mouths in perfect agreement.
Xiaolan seemed to hear the sound of the monster's saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth to the ground.
The monster's footsteps came straight towards the pit where they were.
Sniff sniff... sniff sniff...
It must have smelled them.
Xiaolan secretly took a breath and secretly prepared for a bloody battle.
However, at this moment, there was a strange whine in the distance, and the monster who was almost walking to the cave let out a low roar, and then the sound of hurried footsteps disappeared away.
Is it gone?
What was that distant wail just now? Was anyone else killed?
"it……"
Just as Lu Mao opened his mouth to ask, there was another messy footsteps approaching from outside the cave.
Why is it not over?
The footsteps came in a hurry and slowed down as they approached the edge of the cave, one foot to the left and the other to the right, as if testing.
This time the footsteps were really approaching their location.
Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat, her eyes widened and she stared at the sky above her head.
The footsteps stopped.
Xiaolan heard something like a person gasping.
A black shadow suddenly appeared directly above the cave entrance, covering the shadow of a swaying tree.
Xiaolan's heartbeat was so loud that she could hardly hear anything else. She saw the round black outline swinging from side to side.
"Xiaolan?"
The black figure let out a weak call.
Xiaolan's heart seemed to stop beating all of a sudden.
It was Baomu's voice.
Xiaolan stood up in confusion, "Brother Baomu?"
"Xiaolan!" The black figure also jumped for joy, "It's really you!"
Xiaolan ignored the envious looks of the green-haired and long-haired boys and waved to Baomu above her head, "It's me, Brother Baomu! How did you find me?"
"I actually didn't expect to find you," Baomu said as he began to work. He didn't know what he was working on. "I saw the body of a girl, but I smelled that although she was dead, she was still alive." The smell... left again. I followed the smell to find here. I saw three people in the cave, but there was only the smell of two people. Xiaolan, remember, I told you, I can't smell you. .”
Xiaolan nodded quickly, although Baomu couldn't see it.
"Wow, brother is so awesome," Lu Mao also stood up, looked at Bao Mu and admired, "Which level of props did you get? Can you smell people's scent?"
Baomu didn't answer, and his head disappeared from the hole for a while. After a few seconds, a rope-like thing was thrown in from the hole.
Baomu's head popped back again, "What did you say?"
"It's okay, it's okay," Lu Mao's eyes were shining as he stared at the rope, "Brother, be good. There are three people down here. You can't just take one away."
