After Zhang Zhuxun finished speaking, Huo Xiaoli and others realized what was happening. They all ran to Yumai, turned on the flashlight, and put their eyes on it to look inside.
"It's still early." Zhang Zhuxun stoked the fire a little more, and then gave orders to Huo Xiaoli and the others, "Go, find some more rotten tree roots, and make the fire a little brighter."
Huo Xiaoli ran over, cut off the dry tree roots that had taken root in the cave, carried them to the gap in the jade veins, and lit the fire.
Zhang Zhuxun was warming himself by the fire while watching them accelerate their "slow suicide" with a smile.
Huo Zhixing looked at it, feeling that his smile was malicious.
At about the same time, Zhang Zhuxun stood up and stretched.
The little brother who was leaning against the stone wall with the knife in his arms, closing his eyes and concentrating, also opened his eyes.
Huo Zhixing had been paying close attention to the actions of Zhang Zhuxun and the two. Upon seeing this, he immediately called on Huo Xiaoli and others to put out the fire.
The younger brother stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and felt a few jade veins, then turned to Zhang Shuxun and nodded, "That's it."
Zhang Zhu found an OK, and then said to Huo Zhixing and others: "Hurry up and put on your protective clothing. There will be a tough battle ahead."
The protective suits were all in the waterproof backpacks they carried with them. After quickly changing into them, Huo Zhixing and others took out their alkali powder sprayers and stood ready at the edge. They only waited for Zhang Shuxun's order to start spraying.
Zhang Zhuxun put his hand on the jade veins, closed his eyes and felt it, then pointed at one of them and said, "Let's start here, rotate one by one."
Huo Zhixing didn't say much. After Zhang Zhuxun got out of the way, he immediately aimed at the dark green jade veins and sprayed the alkali powder in the cylinder.
The white powder rushed up, and the jade veins were quickly melted to create a large hole, and the roar of Milotuo hidden in it was getting closer and closer.
When Milotuo first came out, he was not that agile.
Coupled with the blessing of alkali powder, it is not a problem to deal with two or three in an instant.
Soon they came to the next cave. Huo Zhixing didn't have enough alkali powder, so he asked Huo Xiaoli to climb up to clear the way.
Next, follow the same pattern.
As the team went deeper and deeper, Zhang Shuxun could feel more and more Milotuo around him.
From three or two kittens at the beginning, it gradually became five or six, and even in the later stage, more than a dozen Milotuo swarmed up, surrounding them from front to back, left and right.
Huo Zhixing and the others soon couldn't handle it anymore. Zhang Shuxun and his younger brother could only help kill Miluotuo with their swords.
After a while, the number of Milotuo finally decreased.
There is a high probability that Milotuo nearby has been dealt with by them.
The exhausted people cleared a space to rest.
Huo Zhixing took a sip of water, gasped and asked, "Master Yu, are we almost there?"
Zhang Zhuoxun shook his head, "If it were really that easy, it wouldn't be called the Zhang Family Ancient Building."
Huo Xiaoli was confused, "But the number of times Milotuo appeared before has obviously decreased."
Zhang Zhuoxun chuckled, "You little brat, you still don't believe it. Let me tell you, the closer you get to the Zhang Family Ancient Building, the more Milotuo will be in number and the higher their agility will be. Just kill them while playing games with you." The monsters are the same, and the difficulty of the monsters will increase as time goes by, but you see, we have been trapped here for two days, and the Milotuo we met is not exactly the same, but it is not difficult to deal with in any way."
Huo Xiaoli scratched his head and thought for a moment, "You mean, what big move are these Milotuo holding back?"
Zhang Zhuxun gave him a hopeless look, and then said to Huo Zhixing: "Why is this kid as stupid as a pig? The old lady's taste in selecting people is getting worse and worse."
Huo Xiaoli was a little angry, "Hey, why are you still swearing? You can call me stupid, but you can't slander our head!"
"Aren't you also picked out by the eyes of our family master?" Huo Xiaoli looked very unconvinced.
Zhang Zhuoxun glanced at him lightly, "That's why I said that Mrs. Huo's taste in selecting people has become worse and worse since she selected a few of us. Is there any problem?"
Huo Xiaoli was so angry that he fell back.
Knowing that he could not speak loudly enough to talk to Zhang Zhuxun, he simply shut up and remained silent.
Zhang Zhuoxun clicked his tongue, which was really not a joke.
Huo Zhixing sighed, "It seems that our action this time was in vain, but it is not a bad thing to find a way out."
The food was consumed faster than he expected, and their stock of alkali powder was running low. With their current depleted state, no one could bear a few more Milotuos.
Seeing the frustrated looks on the faces of several Huo family boys, Zhang Zhuxun began to feed them chicken soup, "Don't be discouraged. Failure is the mother of success. Mistakes are the father of correctness. It's the same in the fields. Don't fail a few times. I don’t feel a sense of accomplishment even after I get the baby in my hands, I’m right.”
Huo Xiaoli and others all came back to find a few pairs of dead fish eyes for Zhang Zhu.
While he was talking, another Milotuo leaned out from the hole where the jade veins were broken in front of him. Its hollow eyes and ugly face gave people a gloomy and mysterious feeling for no reason.
Zhang Shuxun stood up and patted the dust on his butt, "Work, work, try to go back early and report the news to your old lady before you starve to death."

at the same time.
On the shore of the lake, Fatty caught Huo Zhizhi and cursed him.
Because he was so noisy, Huo Xiangu asked people to stop Fatty outside.
Without being able to see Mrs. Huo, Fatty could only vent his anger to the old woman's men.
"You brat, the fat man will give you an ultimatum today. If my two brothers haven't come out of the water tonight before dark, you will wash your neck and wait for death." The fat man said fiercely. He stared at Huo Zhizhi.
On the day Zhang Zhuxun and his brother were trapped underground, after the fat man came back from the mountain survey, he went to see Mrs. Huo for an explanation.
However, Huo Xiangu excused him because the underground water system was in a complicated situation and a delay of one or two days was normal.
The fat man had gone through it with Zhang Zhuxun and the others last time. He knew what was going on and could only temporarily endure the anxiety in his heart.
Unexpectedly, it was already the second day. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Zhang Zhuoxun saw no sign of their return.
The fat man couldn't sit still anymore and shouted that he wanted to take people to search the mountain.
Because there is a high probability that Zhang Zhuxun and the others will emerge from a place far away from the lake shore this time like last time.
But instead of being afraid of ten thousand, be afraid of what might happen. If something happened to the two of them, Tianzhen would not be able to strangle him to death if he found out.
As soon as this thought came out, the fat man immediately said, "Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled."
The fat man's cursing power was comparable to that of a machine gun, and he stabbed Huo Zhizhi from head to toe, "Hurry up and tell your old ladies, the fat man will take people to search the mountain tonight, otherwise don't blame me for calling him. The action on the innocent side also went to waste, leaving your old woman with nothing to draw water from."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the tent.
Huo Zhizhi watched him leave without saying a word. Then he took out his handkerchief with disgust and wiped off the saliva that the fat man had just sprayed on his face. After that, he still felt sick and immediately turned around and ran back to the tent to wash his face.
After that, he went to Mrs. Huo's tent to report the progress of the mountain exploration.
"Master, three-quarters of the mountain's exploration work has been carried out. If we continue at this pace, it will take about two days before we can find the correct entrance." Huo Zhizhi said.
Huo Xiangu stared at the information and drawings spread out on the table and sighed, "It's still too slow. We can't afford the delay at Siguniang Mountain. The cave entrance where Wu Xie and the others came out has still not been found?"
Huo Zhizhi lowered his head, "No, the hole seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever."
Huo Xiangu sneered, "Disappeared out of thin air? Humph, Wu Xie said that there was no trace of jade veins in the waterway, so there is no such thing as Miluo Tuo filling the hole. It all depends on man-made things."
Huo Zhizhi poured the cooked ginseng tea into a tea bowl, presented it to Huo Xiangu respectfully with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Our people also investigated and found out that not long after Mr. Wu Xiaosan and others were trapped underground, Wu Er I brought a lot of
Many of the guys made a special trip to Banai. "
"Wu Erbai." Huo Xiangu held the lid of the cup in her hand and stroked the hot air, "That boy has ignored the affairs of the Nine Sects for a long time, but he is still very concerned about his only nephew. Maybe, He knows more about Banai’s affairs than we do.”
Huo Zhizhi asked, "Should we send someone to visit Second Master Wu?"
Huo Xiangu shook her head, "No, he won't tell me even if I get there. That guy is just a smiling tiger, and his Tai Chi skills are rounder than those of a master. If he knew that I was hiring Wu Xie to do something, he would definitely get involved. Try every means to bring Wu Xie back."
The fat man's yelling came from outside the tent again, and a hint of impatience flashed across Huo Zhizhi's face, "This damn fat man's words are so unpleasant. I really want to shut his mouth."
Huo Xiangu smiled indifferently, "Just find a few people to follow him to the mountains and then come back. Don't pay too much attention."
She didn't think it would trouble those two people with just a simple wayfinding.
Huo Zhizhi said "Yes" and saw that Huo Xiangu had no other instructions, so he withdrew.
As soon as he got out of the tent, the fat man grabbed his neck from behind, "You brat, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you hide in the old woman's tent..."
Huo Zhizhi was almost furious, but he couldn't match the fat man's brute strength. The fat man held his neck and bent his waist in circles, but he couldn't break free.
He was so angry that he yelled, "You fat man, get out of here now, otherwise you won't even think about me sending people to the mountains with you to find people!"
"Huh?" The fat man pinched hard with his palm, causing Huo Zhizhi to scream in pain, "Why are you talking to your fat man?"
Huo Zhizhi cursed a few more times and was kicked by the fat man in the buttocks, causing him to lie on the ground. After receiving two punches, he completely surrendered, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong, don't hit me. Don't you want to?" Did you take people up the mountain to find your two brothers?"
The fat man then stopped his hand and snorted coldly, "How dare you show off in front of your fat master even if your hair is not completely shaved off? Remember to be more respectful next time, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."
Then he kicked Huo Zhizhi on the leg and urged: "Get up quickly, don't pretend to be dead, send eleven, twenty or thirty people up the mountain with me first."
No matter how angry Huo Zhizhi felt, he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he ran to call for help in despair.
The fat man packed up his equipment and came out. When he saw exactly ten people standing outside the tent, he immediately stared blankly.
Huo Zhizhi was afraid that this reckless man would strike again, so he quickly took a few steps back. Why didn't he want to lose face when he was beaten in front of so many guys?
"Why are there only these few people? Did you take the fat man's words as fart?" the fat man said dissatisfied.
Huo Zhizhi said with a grimace: "Everyone else has something to do, and these are the only ones who can spare their hands for the time being."
The fat man looked into the distance and saw that those people were indeed not idle, so he snorted coldly and said to the ten Huo family men, "Take everything with you and go up the mountain to find someone."
Huo Zhizhi winked at the guys, meaning they could just follow suit.
The fat man, who turned around and was already leading the way up the mountain, sneered in his heart. Do you really think that the fat man is easy to fool?

Underground, in Milotuo Cave.
After continuing to walk along the jade vein for two days, Zhang Zhu sensed that there were more Milotuos around them again.
After another round of fighting, Huo Zhixing and the others completely ran out of alkali powder.
The boys' legs were shaking from exhaustion, but they didn't dare to lean against the wall to rest.
Because before, there was a guy who leaned against a dark jade wall without seeing it clearly. As a result, Milotuo stabbed him directly from behind. He didn't even have time to scream, and he was choked in the lungs. The blood that went in was suffocating.
When he died, his eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to take everyone away with him.
The other guys were horrified. The partners who were fighting alongside you one second were bleeding on the spot the next. This huge psychological stimulation was naturally unacceptable to these newbies. .
one
This guy was already in a trance because he had been in this dark and depressing space for a long time. As a result, his face was splashed with the blood of his dead teammates. He could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and screamed wildly. He rushed into chaos and soon died in the siege of Miluo Tuo.
Zhang Zhuxun and his brother, back to back, withstood this round of attacks, and then retreated to a temporarily safe place with the remaining three people.
Huo Xiaoli's originally tender eyes were bloodshot at the moment. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had closed his eyes. In these days, they were fighting and fighting. The tears of fear had long since dried up. His brain was now completely trapped. In his numb state, he even forgot his original intention of coming here. His only thought now was to live and get out alive.
Huo Zhixing licked his dry and cracked lips and instantly tasted the smell of rust. He blinked his sore eyes and asked Zhang Chuxun in a hoarse voice, "Do you think we can still go out?"
Zhang Zhuxun took out a few energy gels from his backpack and threw them to Huo Zhixing, and stuffed a few more into the little brother, "I think I can, and of course I can, but you three may not."
Huo Zhixing smiled bitterly and said, "It's now here, but you still like to make sarcastic remarks."
"You guys can't even use poisonous chicken soup and milk." Zhang Shuxun was also helpless, "I'm still willing to pay attention to you, so you can have fun secretly."
