The rats were unaware of their presence.
"It seems that this is the credit," the Taoist priest patted the inner wall of the machine. "Thanks to it, our sound and smell cannot be transmitted out."
Xiaolan thought for a while, "Is that why they want to hide here?"
She was referring to the mummy.
Xiaolan just took advantage of the chaos to put the mummy's head back on, but it was a little bit incomplete. At this time, the mummy was leaning on the other end of the machine, with its head tilted on its shoulders, looking like it had lost hope.
The Taoist priest shook his head, "I still don't know what happened to these corpses."
The three of them stood by the glass and observed for a while.
From their perspective, they could only see the machine with Luo Jiutian in front of them, and they didn't know where Fool and Wen Ling had gone.
"But we can't hide here forever, right?" Qin Yin asked.
The Taoist priest turned the angle of the flashlight and checked it up, down, left and right.
"I'll go out and take a look first."
"Yourself?"
"Just in case," the Taoist priest grabbed the inner handle, "you guys wait here."
Swish——
The sliding door slid open, and a strange smell hit my face, but in any case, it was much better than the air inside.
The machine landed on a dark brown quagmire. The Taoist priest jumped down and half of his shoe fell into the quagmire and stopped sinking.
"Close the door."
The two obediently closed the door and quickly moved to the window.
The Taoist priest outside looked around with a stern expression. He shuffled towards the machine in front of him.
He reached out and knocked on the door.
no response.
"Is nothing going to happen in Jiutian?" Qin Yin's face almost touched the glass.
Something happened?
"No way." Xiaolan wiped his sweat.
Is something going to happen?
Through the glass area of the machine in front, they could see the back of Luo Jiutian's head, which was motionless against the glass, as if he hadn't heard the Taoist priest knocking on the door.
Did something really happen?
Both of them couldn't sit still. At this time, the Taoist priest opened Luo Jiutian's door.
He leaned in, and after a few seconds, he pulled back.
The Taoist priest put Luo Jiutian on his shoulders and walked back.
Qin Yin and Xiaolan opened the door in time.
"Come out," the Taoist priest waved to them before they could ask questions, "It's safe outside for now."
"What's wrong with Brother Jiutian?"
"fainted."
As expected, Luo Jiutian rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.
Xiaolan was shocked. Did she look like this when she fainted?
"Fortunately, I just fainted. It's okay. Just give me a slap and it will be fine..."
When Qin Yin and the Taoist priest woke up Luo Jiutian, Xiao Lan took a few steps on the muddy land.
The quagmire was not big, and they were almost at the edge. It was surrounded by towering black rock walls. Xiaolan did not dare to take photos on the rock walls, for fear that something strange would appear.
There were only two machines in the quagmire.
"Where are Brother Fool and Wenling?" Xiaolan asked.
The Taoist priest did not raise his head, "Not here."
When it was over, they dispersed.
Before being crushed by Qin Yin, Luo Jiutian gasped and woke up suddenly. He barely managed to save his important acupuncture points. He sat up with heavy breaths and retched.
"Oh my god...oh my god...all my life..."
The three of them patted his back together.
"Where is this?" Luo Jiutian finally raised his tearful eyes.
Qin Yin sighed, "Rat's nest."
The three of them told him everything they saw and what they surmised.
Teammate lost.
Uncertain future.
"Oh my god..." Luo Jiutian regretted waking up.
"Oh my god," Qin Yin grabbed Luo Jiutian from the ground, "Stand up and work quickly... Taoist priest, should we look for the fool and the spirit seeker first, or the mouse first?"
Although judging from the current situation, they can't find anyone.
The Taoist priest hesitated for a moment on this non-existent multiple-choice question, and then he pointed at the two machines.
"Let's move the two bodies out first."
?
There are question marks all over the heads of the three people.
Because we have lost two teammates, do we have to forcefully fill the vacancies of two people?
"Why?" Qin Yin asked.
"Don't you smell the smell here?" The Taoist priest scratched his right hand, "The mummy has this smell."
"So... they have been here?" Xiaolan understood what the Taoist priest meant.
Four people carried two mummies and walked to the edge of the quagmire.
Xiaolan looked at the world under the quagmire.
It was completely dark.
"Where have all those mice gone?" Qin Yin pointed to the black abyss under the quagmire and asked, "Did they disappear from here?"
The Taoist priest nodded.
"Then let's..."
"Go down too." When the Taoist Master said this, his tone was as natural as saying, "If you are strong, you must have breakfast."
Luo Jiutian was the most shocked.
First they woke me up, then asked me to move the body, and then asked me to go into the mud pit.
And he did.
"How do we get down? Just jump?" Xiaolan stretched out one leg, hesitated, and then retracted it.
"Of course not."
Seeing Tao Chang's confident appearance, the three of them felt a little relieved.
"Let's climb down."
Where does the Taoist priest's confidence come from?
Naturally, it comes from the affirmation of the strength of his companions.
A few minutes later, the three grumbling poor people clawed at the mud on the rock wall and climbed down along the edge of the slippery abyss.
Xiaolan held the flashlight in her mouth and unknowingly ate a lot of mud.
But to their surprise, it didn't take long for them to finish.
There were balls of soft velvet on the ground.
There were no mice or strange noises, just the sound of their muddy shoes scraping against the soft grass.
Xiaolan knelt down and smelled it, "It's really strange."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you smell it?" Xiaolan pointed to the grass, "The grass on the ground smells like milk."
"To be precise," the Taoist priest corrected Xiao Lan, "the area around here is filled with the smell of milk."
Why does it smell like milk?
Does rat milk also taste like this?
"Let's go forward first." The Taoist priest said and began to walk towards the wide flat land in the distance.
The rock wall was above their heads, and several people held up flashlights and walked carefully in this low but vast space.
The ground gradually began to slope, and they began to climb. At the end of the light, they could see a small mountain peak rising from the ground.
Grass velvet scratched the uppers of their shoes. Xiaolan reached out and touched it. It was soft and warm.
It doesn't look like a rat's nest at all.
The four of them walked so slowly.
A sound of murmuring in deep sleep reached their ears.
The four of them froze.
Immediately afterwards, there was another coquettish smacking sound.
That voice was right in front of them.
The four people started running in unison.
