"This cave is dark and humid, and can't hear the wind. There must be no other exit..."
Xiang Shaofeng walked into the cave, searched for a while to no avail, and quickly retreated from it.
The inside is connected in all directions, with big holes connected to small holes. If you don't pay attention, you will easily lose your way. It is better to stay outside and wait for your brother Xiang Bao to arrive.
When the silver-spotted fox comes to help, Zhao Lin will have nowhere to hide.
In the tunnel of the cave, Zhao Lin didn't see anyone chasing him behind him, and he felt slightly relaxed.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring pepper and chili powder, otherwise I would choke the fox and maybe he could escape."
Zhao Lin sighed slightly, knowing in his heart that as long as he couldn't find a way out, he would be caught by Xiang Shaofeng sooner or later.
Although there was no direct confrontation, Zhao Lin could feel the powerful strength of the Blood Realm Warrior, and he was unable to resist it.
Although there are many passages in the cave, none leading to the outside has yet been discovered.
We can only take one step at a time.
The cave is deep, but not dark. The naturally formed rock walls are milky white, with many pits and depressions mixed in with some bright stones, emitting a glowing blue light.
Zhao Lin sighed in his heart, I'm afraid no one would have thought that there was something else in the mountain's belly.
"Ah sneeze!"
After walking for a while, he sneezed, and then he realized that it was extremely cold in the cave, a bit colder than outside, and it was already freezing his hands.
"No wonder Index Finger Peak is so cold. The cold air is probably coming from underground."
Zhao Lin tightened his clothes and continued to explore the tunnel.
Not long after, we came to a cave.
The cave is about the size of a living room, and the internal space spirals upward, like a snail shell.
There were many such caves in the underground passage. Zhao Lin didn't pay attention at all. He just took a casual glance and suddenly found a flower that resembled a lotus and a mushroom growing in the deepest corner of the cave.
The white leaves of the flowers and plants overlap and spread out, connected to each other, like an exquisite white porcelain bowl.
"Yin Candle Lotus!"
Zhao Lin's heart skipped a beat and he immediately stopped.
I was so preoccupied with finding a way out that I didn't pay attention to the smell in the cave. Now I lifted my nose and sniffed, and sure enough I smelled a faint milky fragrance, which was completely consistent with the legendary smell of Yin Candle Lotus.
Yin Candle Lotus is the best among medicinal herbs. It grows in extremely yin places and is one level higher than Lone Immortal Grass and Diluo Fruit.
Because it is so rare, Yin Candle Lotus is only included in the prescriptions taken by warriors in the Yuan realm, and there is no such herb in the prescriptions of the blood realm and below.
Zhao Lin raised his legs and was about to step forward to pick, but he immediately put the thought away.
He can't protect himself now. If he picks it now, he might end up benefiting the Xiang brothers.
Store it here temporarily and come back to pick it up after ensuring safety.
Zhao Lin thought for a while, took out the medicine storage box from the package and found a Shen Yuancao.
This Shen Yuan grass was snatched from the tall and thin disciple of the Fire Jade Department. The leaves have a unique smell and can be used for marking. Otherwise, the tunnel will be full of its own smell, and it will take a lot of trouble to find this place again. .
Zhao Lin pinched off a small leaf from Shen Yuan grass and planned to place the leaf not far away. This would make it easier for him to find it and prevent others from discovering the Yin Zhulian by looking for its smell.
At this moment, a gust of wind came.
The temperature in the tunnel suddenly dropped to freezing point, and a layer of hoarfrost formed on the ground inside and outside the cave at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhao Lin shuddered, realized something was wrong, and immediately raised his eyes to take a look.
I saw a hole in the ground next to the Yin Eclipse Lotus at some point, and a huge white worm that looked like a silkworm emerged from it.
The silkworm's body is like jade, without a trace of color, with a fat body and a round head, which is half a prick long, like a jade pestle for pounding medicine.
"The alien beast that guards the medicine, no, it's the alien insect!"
Zhao Lin had a sudden feeling in his heart. He had been picking herbs for the past two days, but he hadn't seen a decent strange beast. He didn't want to encounter one in the cave at the heart of the mountain.
Can'er climbed up to the ground and went straight to the entrance of the cave.
Although this object looks cute and naive, its speed is not slow at all. Wherever it passes, white mist fills the air, and a thick ice edge appears on the ground.
"Ice silkworm?"
Zhao Lin actually didn't know the name of this insect, but he had read about the Fire Cloud Silkworm in the Tianshui Pavilion's notes.
The silkworm in front of me had almost the same appearance as the Fire Cloud Silkworm, except that its attributes were opposite to that of the Fire Cloud Silkworm, so it was casually named "Ice Silkworm".
Zhao Lin subconsciously reached out and touched his waist. This was a habit he had developed for more than a year as a detective. He would only do this when he was in danger or when he was ready to take action.
After a moment, he turned around and ran away.
Although he was very interested in the spirit of this ice silkworm, he didn't know its strength. Judging from the battle it was in, it might not be easy to deal with.
The Fire Cloud Silkworm has highly toxic fire poison, and the Ice Silkworm may also have cold poison.
Leave here first and observe from a distance for a while!
While Zhao Lin was running, he did not forget to emit ultrasonic waves to pay attention to the movement behind him.
The ice silkworm seemed to realize that Zhao Lin was about to run, and its body suddenly arched, and it shot up from the ground, turning into a streak of white light. Its speed was several times faster than Zhao Lin!
Zhao Lin received the information from the echolocation and found that the Ice Silkworm had come behind him, and his heart tightened.
He simply clenched his fists and turned around to deliver a stone roaring fist.
No matter how powerful this little thing is, it may not be able to withstand this blow.
But this confident punch only hit half the target...
With the Ice Silkworm as the center, within a radius of five feet, the cold air reached the extreme, and ice, frost, snow and mist formed into a ball.
Zhao Lin felt an unparalleled cold air entering his body, and the blood all over his body froze, as if he had been immobilized, unable to move a finger.
A layer of frost quickly formed on his eyebrows and hair.
"Am I suffering from cold poison?"
Zhao Lin could only move his eyes. He glanced down and saw the ice silkworm landed on his fist, its mouthparts stretched out and pierced into his wrist.
The blood entered the almost transparent body of the ice silkworm, and its body gradually turned red and swelled.
My whole body was numb and I couldn't move. I watched helplessly as a stream of blood flowed into the silkworm's body.
Maybe it was due to numbness from the cold, but Zhao Lin didn't feel any pain and was very conscious.
Confirming that he was poisoned by cold, he calmed down and looked at the picture of the spirit beast in his mind.
Just as he expected, the spirit animal diagram's light flowed, and the five grids lit up at the same time.
The five spirits of bear bear, golden leopard, horse-headed bat, white-throated sharp-tailed swift and scented marten began to flicker, releasing white mist, constantly swallowing the cold poison that invaded the body.
Compared to the last time, the poisonous cold poison of the Mountain Leopard's Hundred Poison Needles was even more difficult to deal with, and it took a cup of tea to swallow it completely.
The white frost on Zhao Lin's eyebrows and hair disappeared, and the blood flow resumed...
At this moment, with a "click" sound, the ice silkworm fell from Zhao Lin's fist and landed on the ground.
