Chapter 77 Lost Three

"Is he dead?"

Zhao Yinger spoke out the guess in her heart, and the other two also had the same idea as her.

"It's been dead for a long time, let's go, don't look at him, it's scary."

Zhao Ying'er walked over quickly. After she walked over, she couldn't help looking back curiously, and saw a face that had been dried by the sun in her eyes. The eyes and nose were hollow, leaving only bones.

She turned her head quickly, and when she was about to walk away, she suddenly heard the sound of the system.

"Host, please accept the task. The system automatically detects that there are [-] points on the mummy, and you can get points if you touch it."

Zhao Yinger's eyes opened suddenly, did the system do this on purpose?Knowing that she is afraid of dead people, or people who have been dead for an unknown period of time, and the smell is still exuding from his body, it actually made her touch him.

"I reject."

"Host, don't regret it. If you do this task, there will be more tasks in the future. It is also because you have to travel back, so I have applied for additional tasks from the general system. Don't look at this task as scary, but it is I spent a lot of time to apply for it for you, if you don't do it, you can only do tasks around Chu Yun in the future."

Seeing that Zhao Yinger was still hesitating, the system continued, "Did you forget about Chen Zhe's mission? You got a lot of points, more points than the mission about Chu Yun."

The dog system speaks like a human.

Zhao Yinger's thoughts began to waver, and she had to admit that what the system said made sense.

"Do you have a tongue?"

The system laughed: "It's just a metaphor, I still have self-knowledge."

"Okay, I will do it, in order to get more points, I will do it, it will not be dangerous, will he suddenly cheat the corpse?"

Thinking of the system's style of doing things, Zhao Ying'er would really cheat her.

"Host, do you think I'm that kind of dishonest machine? I'm very upright."

"You said yes."

Zhao Ying'er heard the serious tone of the system's words, so she casually agreed, but the system became anxious after hearing it, and must argue with her.

"I am a very serious system. I have never been that kind of insidious machine. I will not play tricks on the host. The host should speak seriously and answer me with an affirmative sentence."

This made Zhao Ying'er answer its question, because if you say it is upright, it goes against your heart, if you say it is not upright, it blatantly refuses to give up.

Just as she was thinking about how to answer, she saw the other three people standing there waiting for her, so she said: "System, they are waiting for me, I have to go to the task quickly."

"The host, don't forget to answer my questions when you are free."

"understood."

Zhao Ying'er walked towards the mummy under the eyes of the other three, and only took two steps before being held back by Jiuye who rushed over.

"What are you going to do?"

But he heard that after some people die, their souls are not reincarnated, but stay in their bodies, and they will do things that deceive people's minds, that is, things that harm people.

"I'm just curious to see how this person died here."

"It's nothing to see. He should be trapped here and starve to death."

"It could also be murder. Someone killed him and brought him here to throw his body."

Jiu Ye thought Zhao Yinger's words were strange, he said: "No matter how he died, we can't find out now, even if he was murdered, we can't find out his name and address, so there is no way to find out his name and address. He found the murderer, this place is very strange, let's leave quickly."

Zhao Ying'er was still hesitating, but she heard Jiu Ye say: "Alian, Miss is tired, help her to walk."

A-Lian really doesn't understand, what's the point of a dead person, aren't you afraid?

"Miss, let's go, we don't know how long it will take to get out, so let's not worry about dead people."

Zhao Ying'er could only say: "Well, let's go then."

Her mind has been spinning several times quickly, and she has thought of several methods, but they all fail, because abnormal behavior will make them doubt themselves.

I can only follow them away first, and then take advantage of their unpreparedness to untie the cloth strips tied around their arms, and then sneak back to do the task.

When walking forward again, Zhao Yinger deliberately walked at the back and untied the cloth strips that bound her arms.

After walking about a few hundred meters, Zhao Ying'er took advantage of the fact that they were too tired to think about other things and retreated. After a certain distance, she walked back quickly.

She thought she was doing it in a secret way, and no one knew about it, but she didn't know that Xiao Ming had been staring at her out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw her walking back, he followed her example and untied the cloth strip , turned and followed.

All of a sudden, two people were missing, and Jiuye also noticed the abnormality. He looked back and saw Xiao Ming walking back, and Zhao Yinger was gone. He was startled, and blurted out: "Where did the princess go? Xiao Ming Where is Ming going?"

Only then did A-Lian turn around, her reaction was very flat, she was not in a hurry because of Zhao Yinger's disappearance.

"Perhaps the lady is going to do something else."

"What good things can be done here, it must be that the dead body just now is very weird, it has bewitched the princess's mind, let's go quickly, so as not to cause trouble."

"Then you go first. My foot is injured and I can't walk fast."

Jiuye ran back anxiously, but after only a few steps, the ground began to shake again.

The road started moving again.

He ran quickly, making sure to get to Zhao Yinger before the road moved.

But the road vibrated violently, making him sway from side to side and unable to stand still, let alone run forward, which was very difficult.

He managed to run tens of meters away and saw Zhao Yinger and Xiao Ming. Just as he was about to reach them, a stone wall suddenly appeared on the road ahead, blocking the way to Zhao Yinger.

Jiuye slapped the wall to vent his anger, and he was only a few meters away from Zhao Yinger's side. It was just a little short, why couldn't the wall appear later.

No, it should be said that he needs to run faster. If he can run faster, he won't be blocked by the wall here.

The wall was so strong that no matter how much he kicked or hit it, it wouldn't budge.

Jiuye was a little desperate. He was supposed to protect Zhao Yinger, but now he was not only trapped in this cave, but also separated from her. This made him lose his life no matter how he went back. It would be better to starve to death here.

A-Lian limped over, she was still afraid that she would be separated from them, so she hurried over, but when she saw that the road ahead was blocked by a wall, she said, "Where is Miss?"

"I don't know. When I rushed over just now, I saw her in front of me. I was about to pass when a wall suddenly appeared."

"Is the lady behind the wall?"

A-Lian yelled a few times, but didn't get any answer, and threw a stone at the wall, but didn't get any response. She knew that Zhao Ying'er was not on the other side.

"It's useless, she may have appeared elsewhere, we can't find her."

Jiuye sat on the ground dejectedly, his eyes became dull, and he carried dry food and water on his back. Without these things, Zhao Yinger might not be able to last for a few days.

Alian also felt empty in her heart. Although she was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Yinger now, after all, they had lived together for more than ten years, and she felt a little uncomfortable when they suddenly separated.

……

And Zhao Yinger was on the other side of the stone wall. She had already come to the mummy. Just as she was about to touch him, the road started to vibrate. She quickly touched the mummy, completed the task, and got points.

Just as she turned to leave, she saw Xiao Ming coming behind her and told her to find Jiu Ye quickly.

She nodded, and when she was about to leave with him, she saw a wall appear in front of her, and then the road she was on began to move, but luckily, no other walls appeared.

After the shock disappeared, they were still in a passage, which looked similar to the one they stayed in just now, but she knew in her heart that she was already in another position.

But fortunately, she was not alone, and Xiao Ming was beside her, so she cast a helpless look at him.

"Xiao Ming, do you know how to find Jiuye?"

Xiao Ming didn't want to disappoint Zhao Ying'er, but he really didn't know how to get out of here. Although he brought them to this place with selfish intentions at the beginning, he also stayed alone with her as he wished, but what was going on in his heart? I can't be happy either.

"I don't know, I can't figure out how the road moves here."

"Ok."

Zhao Ying'er looked at the mummy beside her, and took a few steps back in fear. It was because of him that she and Jiuye Alian separated. Now there are only two of them left, but how can they find a way out.

But whether she can find a way out is one thing. She must leave here now, because staying with a corpse still makes her feel scared.

"Let's go back and see if we find anything else."

Xiao Ming naturally listened to Zhao Ying'er in everything, his face was slightly hot now, and his breathing was a little messy.

The two walked for a while, turned to another road, and stopped.

The front and the back are all pitch black, staying here day and night is the same, after staying for a long time, I really want to leave here.

Xiao Ming has been following Zhao Yinger all the way, observing the road all the way, he guessed that there must be a very powerful mechanism here to move so many roads.

It's just that this is the first time he has encountered such a situation, so he still can't figure it out.

The two of them had no water or food, they were already hungry, and they didn't know if the road ahead would be the same as the current road, so they sat down and rested.

Zhao Ying'er hugged her knees with both hands, and buried her face in her arms. She opened her eyes and watched the faint fire dimming until it was about to go out.

Xiao Ming hurried to find a branch, but after searching for a long time, he found a small branch. It seems that there are few branches on this road.

Zhao Ying'er was a little ridiculous when she saw his clumsy way of looking for branches. She thought this cave was very interesting, because the roads inside were full of branches.

The plot must be imprecise.

She saw that the fire on the branch was about to go out, and Xiao Ming ran over with the branch she had just found. Suddenly, she saw the weak fire shaking a few times by the wind, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind.

There is wind here, which means that there must be an exit, whether it is connected to the outside or connected to the underground river, there must be an exit.

Why don't you just walk in the direction the wind blows, you can try this.

Zhao Yinger said to Xiaoming who was lighting the fire: "Do you feel the wind here? The wind means that it is connected to the outside world. But we couldn't get out just now. Maybe the person who designed this mechanism is very good and knows how to use it. Some visual illusions make us walk on several roads, but we can’t find the way out, we can try to walk in the direction of the wind.”

As soon as Xiao Ming heard it, he immediately expressed his approval. He felt that the woman in front of him was too clever.

"Then let's go now."

"Put out the fire, let's go by feeling."

Xiao Ming was amazed by Zhao Yinger's cleverness. He threw the torch on the ground and put out the fire with his feet. Without the light of the fire, the surrounding instantly became pitch black.

They started to walk along the cave wall. After walking for a while, Xiao Ming finally summoned up the courage to ask, "What's your name?"

"My name is Zhao Ying'er."

"It's a nice name."

"Xiao Ming, how old are you?"

"fourteen."

"Then you're still a child."

"I have grown up, and my mother said that I can marry a wife."

"Yeah, you're a man now."

Zhao Ying'er did not expect that people here would get married so early, only 14 years old, in modern times, they are still in school, at the age of learning, but here, they are about to get married and start a family to support their families.

She couldn't help expressing emotion: "It's really hard."

At a young age, I have to raise a family.

"what?"

Xiao Ming asked.

"It's nothing, I mean we walked very hard, by the way, Xiao Ming, do you have a date?"

"Object? What do you mean?"

"Are you engaged? Or a girl you like."

Xiao Ming hurriedly said, "No, I haven't liked girls before."

"Then you have to hurry up."

"There are girls in the village who like me, but I don't like them."

"Then what type of girl do you like?"

Zhao Yinger walked while touching the cave wall. Since she couldn't see anything clearly here, she was walking by groping, so it was good to have someone to chat with, at least she didn't feel so nervous.

Xiao Ming's face turned red again, as red as an apple. He really wanted to say that he liked her type, but he swallowed the words again.

He didn't dare to say it because he was afraid that if he said it, he would be disgusted by the other party.

In his heart, he is like a toad, and Zhao Yinger is a swan, he is not worthy of her at all.

"Why didn't you say it? Are you sorry?"

"No, not yet, so I don't know the type I like."

"Then would you like me to introduce you to someone?"

"No, I don't want to get married so early."

"Uh-huh."

The two of them walked forward with the wind, and the further they walked, the stronger the wind became, as if the exit was not far away.

Seeing hope, Zhao Ying'er became more energetic, and she didn't feel tired or thirsty. The only thing she was worried about was Jiuye, and she didn't know if they could find a way out.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, she heard the sound of dripping water, and it was obvious that there should be a river nearby.

Zhao Ying'er followed the sound of water drops and walked over, and sure enough, she found the cave wall soaked in water.
