It was already afternoon when Chen Yao took Yina back to the new camp. As soon as the two returned to the camp, the atmosphere was a little strange.
"Don't you explain?"
Yun Xi just glanced at it, and then continued to maintain the bow string without raising his head and said calmly.
"Brother! Where did you kidnap the little girl? This is not something you want to do..."
"Huh? My brother turned out to do such a thing alone!"
Veins popped up on Chen Yao's forehead. He took two steps forward and his brain collapsed.
"Oh! Why did you hit me! Brother Xiaohu obviously said it first!"
"Telling you not to learn well!"
"You can't... hit people..."
Yi Na, who was close to Chen Yao with only half of her head sticking out, tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"Okay, okay, I'm just playing around with my sister."
Sensing Chen Yao's differential treatment, Yue Li frowned, but as soon as she heard the girl defending herself, her head stopped hurting and she started to circle around the girl.
"Brother Yao! Tell me what's going on!"
"Ahem, this is..."
"Yina, please wait for your brother here for a while!"
"Um!"
Chen Yao then pulled several people aside and briefly described the process, including matters related to the girl's mother.
"Ah! Sister Yina is so pitiful, she is so young, ugh..."
Yue Li was a little moved when she heard that, and almost dropped the little pearl again.
"...From now on, just take care of her as a family member and don't bully her!"
Yun Xi said seriously.
"I know, hey, it's a good thing she met us, isn't it?"
When several people returned to Yina again, their eyes changed when they looked at her. They were no longer wary, but full of care and love.
"May I have your name?"
"....Yina."
"Your name is Yina? You're so cute! Look, sister, there are delicious fruits here, try them!"
Seeing several people chattering around Yina, asking questions, asking questions, and trying their best to make her happy, Chen Yao then showed a happy smile and ignored Yina's pitiful look for help. Yao walked into the church ruins minding his own business.
After all, it takes time to integrate into everyone...
Chen Yao had not explored this ruins carefully before, and this time Yao wanted to take a closer look.
The most conspicuous thing among the ruins was the half-ruined statue. After walking around the statue, he finally found some small words on the base behind the statue, but they were not the words he recognized. Chen Yao opened his voyeuristic eyes and wanted to read. After trying to figure out the reason, no information was identified for a long time.
However, as Chen Yao's eyes swept around, a piece of information suddenly flashed across, and then disappeared. After many attempts, Chen Yao locked onto a corner of the ruins.
--------------------------
Secret entrance: a covered entrance leading to an unknown space. (from special roll)
--------------------------
Chen Yao came to the corner of the ruins and after searching carefully, he found something unusual under the rubble. A corner of a stone door was revealed, but it was not conspicuous.
Just when he was worrying about how to turn it on, a cry of surprise suddenly came.
"ah!"
"What happened?"
Chen Yao exited the ruins and found that the three of them were tightly surrounding Yina in the center. They pulled Jiang Hu out. Chen Yao stepped forward and found out the reason for Yue Li's exclamation.
I saw that Yina's hood had been taken off, and her long blue hair lay down smoothly like a waterfall. However, what made Chen Yao's eyes widen was not Yina's blue hair, but a pair of cyan hair on her forehead. Little sharp corners!
No wonder her hands ache when she touches her head, no wonder she can eat anything. Now it all makes sense. Yina and her mother are not ordinary people at all!
Chen Yao had learned some knowledge about other races in books, but today was the first time he had actually seen one.
In the end, Chen Yao couldn't suppress his restless curiosity, and stretched out his hand to touch the corner of Yina's head.
Well, it's hard, but it's very smooth. I thought it was a rough texture at first, but the more Chen Yao touched it, the more he became addicted.
"Well...brother...don't touch there..."
At this moment, Yina's face was slightly red, and she was squirming as if she was feeling unwell.
"Ah! Brother Yao is so bad! He only knows how to bully girls! Go away, go away!"
Qiu Yueli seemed to understand something and knocked off Chen Yao's dirty hand. On the other hand, Chen Yao touched his nose with some hindrance.
After escaping from the clutches of the devil, Yi Na quickly put on her hood, and then looked at Chen Yao angrily.
"Mom...said...to hide her horns...and tail so that they cannot be discovered...and a girl's horns cannot...be touched...otherwise..."
Before Yi Na finished speaking, Chen Yao suddenly became interested when he heard the key points.
"Ha! Tail? What? Yina, you still have a tail!? Show me quickly!!"
Chen Yao grabbed Yina and was about to lift the hem of her burqa like a hungry wolf, but suddenly! Chen Yao suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, causing his whole body to stiffen.
"Chen Yao, do you want to die?"
Yun Xi cocked an arrow, and the arrow was pressed against the back of Chen Yao's neck, gritting his teeth.
The cold and sharp touch combined with the resentful tone suddenly frightened Chen Yao, and then the boundless fire of exploration in his heart quickly cooled down...
This also scared Yina who was in a dazed state. Yina hugged Yun Xi's thigh and said with a trembling voice.
"Sister...can't hurt brother..."
Under Yina's childish pleading, I am afraid that anyone who is truly murderous would be able to put down his butcher knife, not to mention that Yun Xi was just scaring Chen Yao.
"Hmph, if sister Yina hadn't begged for mercy, I would have chopped off your dirty hands today!"
"Ahem, I just want to see what the tail looks like. I haven't seen it before..."
"Oh? You mean you're going to open up a little girl's clothes and look at her tail?"
The expression on Yun Xi's face gradually changed from cold to disgust. This feeling of restlessness made Chen Yao's face turn red.
"No, no, no...don't dare..."
"You can't... quarrel..."
Hearing Yina's voice, Yun Xi's expression quickly cleared up, and Chen Yao was stunned by the speed of his face change.
"Okay, Yina, be good! If he dares to bully you in the future, just tell your sister, okay? My sister will beat him for you!"
"Um..."
Then Yi Na tightened her burqa and glanced at Chen Yao with some fear.
(Hey! What a look! I’m really just curious and want to see the tail! Damn it!)
Chen Yao had a bitter look on his face. Yun Xi might have threatened to beat him before, but in the future he was afraid that he would really be beaten. This was like bringing back an ancestor.
"Speaking of which, I just discovered a, uh... strange stone door over there in the ruins."
"Go over and have a look."
The few people who arrived at the location gathered around the corner of the ruins. The biggest problem at the moment was to clean up the accumulated rubble. The pressure was on Jiang Hu and Chen Yao...
"Hey, let's just keep in shape, Xiaohu, come on!"
"Okay, big brother!"
The two of them worked hard and spent about half an hour before the entire stone door embedded in the ground was fully displayed in front of everyone. The stone door looked extremely heavy, and there were holes in the middle and left and right sides of the door, which seemed to be handles. In the middle of the door is a pattern that has become blurred due to weathering.
"It looks like the only way to do it is to pull it up."
"Xiaohu, do you want to try?"
"Hey, look at me."
Jiang Hu rolled up his sleeves, clasped the holes with his hands, and gave it a push!
"Hey!"
As a result, Shimen didn't move at all, which made Jiang Hu feel a little embarrassed.
"I still don't believe it!"
Strong body! open! Juli! open!
"Open it for me! Hey!"
An extremely thick aura instantly exploded on Jiang Hu, and Chen Yao and others around him were slightly shaken back!
It's a pity that this stone door is not generally hard. Jiang Hu sat down on the ground in frustration.
"Hoo Chi, Hoo Chi, is this... the way you drive it wrong? I feel like I'm pulling up a big mountain..."
At this moment, Chen Yao raised his eyebrows as if he suddenly thought of something.
"Well... I once learned some knowledge in a book about physics. I won't explain it to you in detail. Xiaohu, use your hammer to hit this position and hit it hard."
Chen Yao pointed to the center of the stone gate.
"oh oh."
Jiang Hu stood up and raised his strength again, holding the hammer in both hands, turning on the huge force, and then smashed it hard!
"Keng!!!"
At this moment, Chen Yao leaned down and began to check the center of the stone door, and then stood up.
"continue."
"Hey! Keng!!"
................................................................. ...
The girls had already retreated far away after the first drop of the hammer. After all, the sound was inevitably a bit harsh.
As Jiang Hu's fifth hammer fell heavily, an inaudible cracking sound passed into Chen Yao's ears.
"stop!"
At this moment, Chen Yao leaned down to look at the stone door, and was surprised to find that a gap had appeared on the stone door, which evenly divided the stone door into two pieces.
"It's done!!"
The three women heard the sound and rushed over.
"Wow! It seems really different! Brother Yao is so awesome!"
"Haha, this stone door has become like this because it has not been opened for too many years. It's nothing, thanks to the knowledge in the book."
"Brother, can I pull away now?"
"Yes! Don't worry, it's not because our little tiger is not strong enough. You can try to pull it under normal conditions now."
"Hehe, okay!"
After locking the two holes, Jiang Hu lifted it hard, and with a rumbling sound, the two half-meter-long stone doors were easily opened.
Chen Yao looked inside, and a strong smell of dust came, almost suffocating him.
"Cough, cough, cough...wait, wait a while and then go in again, scatter the smoke and dust, it will choke me to death..."
................................................................. ...
After resting for about half a week, Chen Yao explored again. After making sure that the dust had cleared, he called a few people to prepare for exploration.
However, Chenyao was not idle during this half-star period, and made a few simple torches for lighting later.
Taking Xiao Qing from Lili's shoulder and putting it on his own, Chen Yao held a torch and groped down the steps. He took a look around and after confirming that there was no danger around him, he waved a few people down.
Several people held torches and looked around the area... This is an underground secret room of about 40 square meters. The strange thing is that except for a few rotten hooks on the wall and piles of dust on the ground, there is nothing here Almost nothing.
"I'm afraid...it's too old, and time has turned everything into dust."
Chen Yao sighed, it was a pity that he had put so much effort into this, I was afraid it would be in vain this time.
"There is something over there."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yao immediately became energetic.
"Where is it?"
"Front wall, left corner."
"Come over and have a look!"
When several people carefully touched the corner, they were startled by Xiao Xiao. The thing in front of them was a skeleton dressed in rotten clothes!
"Strange... Theoretically, this skeleton and clothes should also turn into dust..."
"Brother Yao, it...will it suddenly come to life?"
"Of course not, look!"
Chen Yao picked up the hammer and gently poked the bones in front of him.
"Kakaka!"
The skeleton suddenly leaned forward!
"Hey! No, no, no! Senior, I didn't mean to offend you, please..."
Chen Yao was so frightened that he quickly backed away, clasping his hands and bowing and chanting.
"puff!"
Before she finished speaking, she heard Yue Li laughing.
Of course, Chen Yao's response was only a large amount of dust.
"Look at how cowardly you are! Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf! Humph!"
Qiu Yunxi's curses also followed.
"Brother...idiot..."
Yi Na grabbed Yun Xi's clothes and whispered.
At this moment, Chen Yao was ashamed, but after all, he was a boy who had to be strong in his life. He took a step forward and squatted down, groping for the dust and muttering to himself.
"This is respect for the dead! Alas... you don't understand at all. I just over-expressed my respect for the dead... um... yes... this is called awe..."
Chen Yao fumbled around for a while, but unexpectedly he actually touched something.
"There's something!"
Several people heard the sound and gathered around, curious and at the same time shining a light on Chen Yao.
Chen Yao carefully took out two things in his hand. One of them was a bell-shaped rattle. Under the light of the fire, the bell reflected the green light, which made several people panic. Then Chen Yao checked the other thing. thing.
"It looks like a book. I like this."
But just when Chen Yao wanted to open the book and check its contents, suddenly! After a few rinses, the whole book shattered into countless small pieces in Chen Yao's hands, and then turned into even finer dust.
However, when the dust in his hands cleared away, an ancient page of paper was gradually revealed.
This ups and downs of development caused Chen Yao's mood to fall from high to low, and then gradually rise again.
Just as he carefully picked up the paper with great anticipation, his mood hit rock bottom again...
He didn't recognize any of the words on it!
"Brother, what's written on it? Why are they all filled with ghostly symbols, and I can't understand any of them."
"I don't know either. Let me identify it."
The Eye of Secret is opened and item information is revealed.
--------------------------
? ? ? ? ? ? One of the pages: 3% recognition (from tactile sense)
The content on the paper is unrecognizable. The paper has a special texture and a slightly moist feel.
--------------------------
"It's a page from a book, hiss...this paper is still wet, even the remains have obviously turned into ashes..."
Yun Xi also touched the paper after hearing these words.
"It's really strange. It feels like...skin."
Puzzled, Chen Yao scratched his head and put the paper away.
Then he took out the rattle and looked around. There was no problem with the structure of the rattle and it was not damaged. Chen Yao tried to shake it.
"My ears are broken? Why is there no sound?"
"There is indeed no sound. It's not a problem with your ears."
"Hmm... It's too old? Is it broken? That's not right either..."
While Chen Yao was studying the ringing bell, Jiang Hu and the others who were a few steps away from them suddenly saw an extremely horrifying scene!
A strange white smoke slowly emerged from Chen Yao's mottled shadow. The white smoke gradually took shape and began to transform into a head, arms, and body. A humanoid shadow suddenly appeared behind Chen Yao! !
The shadow turned its head completely at a twisted angle and made a silent gesture towards several people. The people who looked at it suddenly found that they had become unable to speak, and even their movements were restricted, leaving only a look of horror on their faces. expression!
This shadow's face had no facial features, it was completely blank!
At this moment, Chen Yao was still studying the ring bell when a cold touch suddenly came from his shoulder...
Chen Yao turned his head and was stunned for a moment. Yun Xi also noticed Chen Yao's abnormality and turned around to look, also stunned for a moment.
What's this?
This is the common question between the two of them at this moment.
Youying pointed at the rattle, and then gently hooked his fingers at Chen Yao. Something terrible happened... Chen Yao uncontrollably slowly stretched out the hand holding the rattle... .
At this moment, Chen Yao was very conscious, but he felt that a chilling cold force gradually took control of his whole body...
At this moment, Xiaoqing on his shoulder emitted a stronger green light than before!
In an instant, the white shadow began to twist in pain, and at the same time tried to block the green light that was close at hand with its pale hands. As if it realized that doing so would not help, it completely dissipated like evaporation.
saved!
This was everyone's first thought after returning to action.
"What it is?!"
At this moment, Chen Yao's back was completely soaked with sweat! He had never encountered anything so weird!
"Did it disappear?"
"No, I feel like it's still around, hidden in those darkness."
The reason why Chen Yao was so sure was because he felt a feeling, a feeling of being watched, because what he wanted was the rattle, and the rattle was still in his hand.
At this moment, the torches in everyone's hands began to shake and flicker at the same time, probably because of the influence of that thing.
"Everyone gather together!"
"Lili! When the flame goes out, turn on the light of life immediately!"
"Brother Yao...I'm afraid..."
"The light of your life is its nemesis! Whether you can defeat it or not depends entirely on you!"
"I...I know..."
Several people gathered around slowly while being vigilant. Suddenly, everyone's torches were extinguished at the same time! Only Xiao Qing's green light was slowly blooming, but I'm afraid it wouldn't last long.
Taking a deep breath, Qiu Yueli spread her palms flat and released the light of life upwards. The advantage of doing this is that the light can cover a large area, but there is a blind spot of light around a few people. Time passed bit by bit in the light, but Chen Yao became more and more anxious.
"This is not the way to go... Let's move towards the entrance, don't mess up the formation."
In this way, everyone slowly moved towards the entrance in the light. They arrived at the entrance safely, but a fatal problem appeared...
Who should leave last?
"You guys go up first, hurry up!"
"how about you?"
"Qiu Yunxi! There is no time to waste! Xiaoqing can't hold on for long! Get out quickly!"
".....Walk!"
Watching several people except himself leave the basement one after another, Chen Yao gradually let go of his hanging heart.
"Come out quickly! Chen Yao!"
Yun Xi shouted anxiously.
"late."
The light emitted by Xiao Qing began to flicker on and off, and Chen Yao turned around directly to face the darkness.
He actually knew that he couldn't leave, that cold gaze had been locked on him from beginning to end.
Even though he could leave just now, he didn't dare to gamble with everyone's safety.
"Come out, don't you want this?"
Chen Yao held the rattle tightly in his left hand and the hammer in his right hand, and said calmly.
"Brother! It's too dangerous! Come out quickly!"
As Chen Yao finished speaking, the shadow suddenly appeared in front of Chen Yao, but it tilted its head, as if wondering why the human in front of it didn't escape.
"You want to wait until the light runs out and attack me when I leave, right?"
"Ehehehehehehe!"
The shadow didn't answer, but let out a creepy laugh.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Chen Yao's forehead, he was gambling.
Regardless of the outcome, there was no escaping this battle, and he already knew it from the moment the shadow asked him for the rattle.
