Chapter 1098: A Shortcut in the Mountains

The old man's heart sank: the direction in which Qiuqiu ran went straight abroad, could it be that Lin Er and Xiaohua went abroad again? He let out a long roar as he ran, and his feet rushed to Qiuqiu's body like flying, stopping Qiuqiu, who was still about to run forward, and then took a long breath of true qi and ran in his body a few times, calming down the true qi that was running rapidly, and bent down to gesture at Qiuqiu a few times.

Yiqie happened so suddenly, the old man stopped the ball to ask what it felt? Are you going to run in the direction of the outside world?

Qiuqiu's eyes glowed with blue light, and he also stood up and raised his two front paws to gesture up and down, left and right. The old man frowned as he watched, sure enough, Xiaohua and Wanlin were abroad again! Qiuqiu said that it had just felt the rapid roar of Xiaohua, and the direction was exactly the direction of the foreign country.

The old man has been with Wan Lin with Xiaohua for more than ten years, and he has long been familiar with the language of the leopard, and now when he sees its gestures, he immediately understands the meaning.

He shook his head lightly on the dark mountain in front of Qiuqiu, this road is not the best route to go straight to the border, from here you have to bypass several mountains of nearly a thousand meters, and there is a lake with a water surface of dozens of kilometers, and you have to go around at least seventy or eighty kilometers from here.

He knew that Qiuqiu was still young, and although he was promoted to the king of the mountain, he was not very familiar with this mountain forest, and he was far less familiar with the grass, trees, mountains and rivers here.

He whispered to Qiuqiu, "Follow me!" Running to the side hillside, Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, and then understood that his grandfather was approaching with him, and immediately followed.

The old man took a shortcut to the border, which was still a hidden mountain road recorded in their family tree. In the past, when the Ancestors were hunted down on a large scale, they found an extremely secret cave in their escape, which led directly to the current border location through the Guò cave.

When he was young, the old man had walked through this secret passage, crossed the border and circled the other country, and only once out of curiosity. Later, after Xiaohua Chuxian, the old man also took Xiaohuawu alone to the miasma valley to collect herbs, and then went to a deep mountain outside the country through the hidden mountain road of guò, and collected some herbs that were not found here at that time.

The old man was running like a fly in front of him, and at this time he understood why he suddenly had such an uneasy premonition at night, it turned out to be the profound internal strength of Zi's body, and the skill of Wan Lin's body had established a connection in the dark.

The old man carried the ball and flew through the rolling hills with the ball, and soon came to the foot of a large mountain. The old man stopped around Kankan, took out a flashlight from his bag and shone it around, pulled out his machete and cut off a few dry branches on the hillside, then dragged a few vines around, quickly set up seven or eight torches, tied one vine behind him, and then lit a torch and ran towards a steep stone wall in front.

The old man knew that the battery of the flashlight in the dark cave would not last long, and he still had to rely on the power of nature, so he prepared a lot of torches for backup.

The torches were bubbling with flames, reflecting the stone wall in front of it, and the entire high stone wall showed a dark red color. On the surrounding hills, I saw that a light suddenly appeared here, and a few faint green points of light suddenly popped out, and a few wolf howls were faintly heard in the distance.

Qiuqiu turned his head to see the bright spot on the top of the mountain, raised the little naodai, and let out a sharp roar of annoyance, as if he was angry at these suddenly chuxian animals to get away, zi is annoyed now.

There was an immediate commotion on the mountain, and the flickering points of light disappeared behind the mountain in a blink of an eye, and the wolf howl in the distance also stopped abruptly. The old man stood under the high stone wall with a torch in one hand and a machete in the other, and searched for a while, and suddenly stopped in one place and slashed the tangled vines under the stone wall. Soon, a half-man-high cave appeared under the stone wall, and the cave was pitch black, and a cold damp air came out of the mouth of the cave.

A green light flashed in the ball's eyes, and with a sudden roar, he jumped into the dark cave. The old man then also held the torch to block the sight in front of his chest and got in.

The cave is dark and damp, the blue light in the eyes of the little flower illuminates the narrow cave wall in front of the hole, the cave wall resounded with a "rustling" sound, the stone wall is densely packed with countless scorpions, geckos, centipedes and other reptiles, are rapidly drilling into the darkness in the cave, the crowded stone wall keeps falling down with various poisonous insects, a group of bats inhabiting the cave "fluttering" inciting wings fly out of the hole in panic.

Those poisonous insects smelled the unique scent of the leopard when the ball drilled in, coupled with the blue pillar of light in the beastmaster's eyes and the burning torch in the old man's hand, they all rushed to the darkness of the cave.

There was a foul smell in the dampness in the cave, the old man ran behind Qiuqiu and took out a pill from his bag and put it in his mouth, this kind of cave has not been ventilated for many years, and it is dark and damp inside, all kinds of poisons have lived in the cave for a long time, and the air has long contained various deadly toxins.

The old man knew that Zi didn't have the ability of a leopard, and the leopard was born with a substance that restrained all kinds of poisons, so Zi could only take medicine in advance to prevent poisoning, but fortunately, he came out with a lot of antidote medicine.

A man and a beast flew quickly through the narrow cave, and the old man had already taken out a piece of animal skin to cover his head to prevent the poisonous insects falling from the roof of the cave from touching Zi's skin. Although the old man now has an antidote in his mouth, it is not a good thing to be bitten by a panicked poisonous insect by a poisonous insect.

They ran more than ten kilometers in the cave, and the cave in front of them suddenly became more and more spacious, and the sound of flowing water kept coming from the front. The old man knew that he was about to reach the dark river he had been to before.

Sure enough, the sound of running water in front of him became louder and louder, and Qiuqiu, who had been running in front of the old man, suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at his grandfather. The old man ran over quickly, and in front of him was a spacious stone cave, the top of which was thirty or forty meters high, and the area was four or five hundred square meters. There are many pitch-black holes on the edge of the stone cave, and the cave behind Zi is only one of the main caves, and the rest do not know where to lead.

The old man had wanted to explore the rest of the cave when he came before, but the pitch-black walls of the cave inside the kankan and the constant sound of poisonous insects crawling finally dispelled the idea of exploring, who knows where the inside leads? Although Xiaohua followed me the second time I came, so I wouldn't get lost in the dark hole, but it was very likely that there was an unknown risk inside, so I didn't go in.
