Chapter 359: The Labyrinth Hides Traces
When the timer turned around, Lin Shu turned with Lao Wang and Li Xiaoxin again.
"Alright, we can take a break. ”
Lin Shu's words made Li Xiaoxin and Zhou Minxuan breathe a sigh of relief, the two girls were tired after walking for so long in a row, as soon as Lin Shu's words fell, the fatigue of the two people immediately surged, Lao Wang casually found a place to sit down, turned out the high-energy food in the bag and ate it, and drank a sip of wine from time to time, looking extremely enjoyable.
Lin Shu glanced at it with disdain, the powerhouses of the eighth order don't use high-energy food to supplement their physical energy at all, they can completely draw energy from the outside world, and they can just drink alcohol, it can be said that they enjoy the food, but the high-energy food has a sweet taste, so what's so delicious?
Li Xiaoxin glanced at Lin Shu, pulled Zhou Minxuan to the side, sat on the ground and whispered, the so-called whispering in front of Lao Wang and Lin Shu did not exist at all, it was just self-deception, but now Lao Wang didn't have the time to eavesdrop, and Lin Shu was not interested in listening to the little secrets between the girls.
"Got rid of it?"
Lao Wang glanced at Lin Shu with some dissatisfaction, Lin Shu didn't see it, nodded and said, "I haven't followed for the time being, but this can only delay, and it can't completely get rid of their tracking." ”
"Isn't that what you want?"
Lin Shu snorted: "I don't have this expectation at all, I just hope that nothing happens, so that I can pass the time in the library laboratory with peace of mind, or follow Chairman Xiang to explore the ancient ruins, have you forgotten that I am not a battle mage?"
Lao Wang smiled, but he despised Lin Shu in his heart, how many battle mages would be ashamed to death by such words.
"Don't talk nonsense. What are you going to do, young master? In fact, they don't seem to give up on their mission. It's a matter of time before you're facing each other. In any case, there must always be a decision, in fact, I thought about it, young master, you seem to have only one helpless choice, and that is to kill these three guys! In that case, why don't you just start early?"
Lin Shu nodded, hesitated for a while, and said, "Yes, it's true, in fact, their fate was doomed from the beginning. The only difference is only a matter of time, but it's still a big difference, and if they've gone deep into the cavern before losing contact with their companions, what do you think of being killed within a known range?"
"I see, it's always making the people above suspicious!"
"That's right, we have no way to grasp the situation above, we can only try to keep the original state as much as possible, can we still make a hole to go up?"
Li Xiaoxin, who had been listening for a long time, asked strangely, "Why can't you dig a hole to go up?"
Lin Shu turned his head and said, "Girl, how deep have we gone underground now. And with the sea overhead, you can't expect anything to happen if you dig a hole. If this risk could be avoided, I would love to avoid it, don't you think?"
Li Xiaoxin stuck out his tongue and walked for a full day, and it is conceivable how deep he has gone into the ground with the footsteps of several people.
"Lin Shu, sir, where are their traces?"
Zhou Minxuan's question reminded everyone of their purpose for coming here, since entering the cave, the mutations again and again have made everyone seem to have forgotten the original purpose of coming here, and now they are finally awakened by Zhou Minxuan's words.
"Hehe, everything is under control. ”
Lin Shu's answer seemed too relaxed, so relaxed that it made people feel not very steady, imagine it, Li Sixian and his wife entered the cave two days earlier than Lin Shu and the others, and in order to avoid tracking, they must try their best to eliminate their traces, in fact, those guys who are proficient in tracking have not been able to find their traces, so what magical skills does Lin Shu have to easily say what he just said?
However, the three people who listened to this were all strangely convinced, and of course, their reasons must be different.
"Actually, I'm more concerned about another thing. ”
"What?"
"How did you say this cave was formed?"
Lao Wang's face was also a little heavy: "The eldest young master also thinks this matter is very important?"
"Well, if it's artificial, it's fine, but if it's not, things might be in trouble. ”
Li Xiaoxin and Zhou Minxuan couldn't keep up with their train of thought, and they were a little inexplicable when they heard what the two of them said, but soon they thought of what Lin Shu wanted to express.
It's okay if it's artificially excavated here.,No matter who excavated it, it seems that they're not there now.,But if this isn't man-made, then it can only be made by Warcraft.,Thinking about the Warcraft that can do such a huge project, it doesn't seem to be a good person.。
What's worse is that the Warcraft that can do such a big project can only be a large group of Warcraft that lives in groups, and once the Warcraft is in groups, it means trouble!
Lao Wang knocked on the hard ground and said, "The eldest young master has been paying attention to the situation on the ground, right?
"No, what about you, what do you see?"
"I've seen a few caves of this size, once when we were exploring the nest of giant legionnaires, and we lost three of our companions, that..."
Lao Wang's tone was very light, but the heaviness contained in it weighed on everyone's hearts like a boulder, Lao Wang paused, this moment of silence made the air freeze, as if Lao Wang's deep emotions had penetrated into the surrounding air from some mysterious channel.
"The second time I saw such a complex labyrinth was in the northern steppe, where a kind of social demonic beast, the Tibetan Golden Rat, also likes to dig huge labyrinths, for them, the underground is the whole of the world. ”
"Tibetan Golden Rat, as far as I know, the size of the Tibetan Golden Rat doesn't need to dig such a huge tunnel, right?"
"Young Master, what you see is an ordinary Tibetan gold rat, there is a mutated Tibetan gold rat in the northern grassland, the size is like a calf, the diameter of the hole dug out is more than two meters, and the cave wall is also reinforced by magic, some like this, but not so smooth. ”
"Listen to your tone, this cave wasn't built by these two monsters?"
"It's not quite like that, the diameter of the legionnaire ant's burrow will vary, the main road is wider, the side branches are narrower, and as for the Tibetan gold rat, the tunnel they built has obvious paw prints. ”
"Is there anything closer to this kind of tunnel?"
"Speaking of which, this is a bit like the masterpiece of the magic worm, but the body surface of the magic worm has obvious secretions, which are easy to see after the cave wall dries, and there is a strange fragrance, two young ladies, the perfume you like Mystic Seven is said to be the main material of this magic worm's secretion. ”
Li Xiaoxin smiled, she didn't like perfume or anything at all, because working in a laboratory, using perfume is not a good habit.
Lin Shu nodded, although Lao Wang couldn't judge what kind of masterpiece this mysterious cave was, but he also thought that this was a magical beast, and in addition, Lao Wang's words implied that this regular circular cave should be made by an animal with a regular and smooth body.
Lin Shu thought about the cave he saw, especially the location of the bifurcation, it seemed to be a little interesting, and the subtle corners of many bifurcations could indicate that the body length of this animal might be relatively long.
"So, maybe it's a new species that hasn't been discovered?"
"Hehe, this world is so big, it's not surprising that it's a new species, not to mention, this is the bottom of the sea. ”
"You mean, maybe it's a creature in the sea, and if that's the case, there's water here, right?"
"Who said that the creatures in the sea must be water, as far as I know, there are several creatures that will leave the seawater environment when they reproduce, and besides, we know very little about the creatures in the sea, so don't jump to conclusions!"
Lin Shu nodded: "Okay, you're right, Xiao Xin, Min Xuan, you can sleep or meditate to refresh your spirits, the time is four hours, I'll go to the front to set up a warning device, Lao Wang, you go to the back to check." ”
The two left quickly, and there were only two girls left at the fork of more than ten square meters, the two glanced at each other, and they both had some speculation in their hearts, but now it's better to hurry up and rest, sleep is definitely not going to sleep, both of them chose to meditate and cultivate, Zhou Minxuan is practicing magic energy, and Li Xiaoxin is practicing the magic trick.
When I woke up again, four hours had passed, and everyone who had recovered their mental and physical strength began to set off again, and walked for more than an hour under the leadership of Lin Shu, Lin Shu suddenly pointed to the corner and said, "There are insects there." ”
Everyone stopped, and Lao Wang looked at it carefully and said, "It's an ordinary black ant, but there will be a black ant in such a deep position?"
"Black ants are omnivorous, and they have extremely strong vitality, isn't it surprising that there are?" Although Li Xiaoxin studies plants, he also has an understanding of the symbiotic animals of plants.
"Miss, what do they eat? Is there anything to eat in such a deep ground? Plants? There are only scattered plants in the beginning of the way, and there is no life after that. ”
Lin Shu squatted down and looked at it carefully for a while and said: "It's fungi, there are fungi here, maybe there is groundwater here, there are still fungi that can grow in places where there is no light at all, but it feels very strange, why is it only here?"
Lao Wang said: "What does the eldest young master want to say?"
"I would say that since there is life, then there should be more life, and if the place we have walked before is a place that has been abandoned, it is likely that this is close to the area where they are active. ”
"Senior brother is talking about the master of the cave?"
"Yes!"
A trace of uneasiness flashed in Li Xiaoxin's eyes, although Zhou Minxuan tried her best to endure it, her clenched fists still exposed her nervousness, and Lao Wang also put away his smile, looking a little heavy.
"Senior brother, my parents, them"
"Don't worry, I guess the uncle and aunt are probably the ones who came down from this kind of animal, and it is even more telling that they dare to go deeper, the two elders are well-informed, what we can think of, they must also think of, so Xiaoxin, you don't have to worry at all, I think, the uncle and aunt even have the idea of using these animals to snipe the pursuers behind them."
