Chapter 257 That cocoon is a chatterbox

257 Chapter 257 That cocoon is a chatterbox
After the blind man walked farther away, he pulled out the glasses-shaped pendant I gave him from his collar. He placed his left index finger on the lens, thinking about me, his little apprentice.

Not long after we set off, my earphones suddenly rang. I was hanging on the cave wall and thought to myself, luckily I put the earphones on my ears, otherwise I wouldn't be able to answer the call.

I freed up a hand and waved gently to answer the call. I was quite surprised when I heard the voice of Heixiazi. I asked him: "Hey, why did you contact me when you had time? Aren't you with them?" "

The black blind man said: "The mop group of fools are gone, and there are still two fools guarding the bottom of the cave. Oh, by the way, there is also your little clone."

I asked him: "Then you won't wait for us?"

He said lazily: "I've been working here for several days and I'm bored. Anyway, you guys should be coming down soon. Fenghuang and the others should follow. I don't have to worry about no one caring about them, so I just went for a walk." "

Listening to his tone, it seemed that he was really bored. I suddenly thought that since he was going for a walk, I could ask them to do me a favor, so I said to him: "Then...since you are going for a walk, why don't you help me?" How about I go somewhere?”

"I won't go." He said it very simply.

I was stunned and said: "I haven't said anything yet, so you can't say it..."

The black blind man chuckled and said: "As for you, Xiao Jiujiu, you still want to hide it from me, and it's for the sake of being mute, right? I saw that his knife was missing, so that's what happened."

I asked tentatively: "Well...is that okay?"

Heixiazi said: "You must know that your master's appearance fee is also very high."

When he said this, I felt dizzy. I had heard that the prices for hiring young men and black glasses masters were very high, but I didn't understand this. I asked him, "appearance fee? How much is that?"

He heard the blind man burst out laughing: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'll let you know if I find it."

When I heard that I agreed, I quickly said: "I will teleport you directly to that area. You don't have to run there by yourself. I will ask a few people to help you. Once I find it, I will send you back to Qilin Pavilion. I will treat you to a delicious meal." Yes, just tell Bai Hao what you want to eat."

The black blind man hissed and said, "No, I'm helping you. You should cook for me in exchange for wages."

"Ah" I thought for a while and said, "Okay, no problem. You tell me what to eat, and I will cook it for you. You can help me find a knife, and then we will meet at Qilin Pavilion."

The black blind man said: "That's it? Is there something missing?"

I thought to myself, what's missing... I said "uh" and said, "Thank you... thank you, master."

The black blind man said: "Yeah, I hear it."

"Master, I'll ask Chi Yan to pick you up, please wait a moment." I asked Chi Yan to rush over, leaving Bai Hao and Yu Jing to follow the three of us and continue moving forward. It felt like it wasn't too far away from the place in the dream. .

Wu Xie was about to collapse at this time. The fat man wanted to enlighten him, but it seemed to be of no use. The fat man looked at him and said: "Look at your face, it's enough to make someone look at you for half a month. Why are you so sad?" , be more open-minded and don’t go back and give yourself a hard time.”

Wu Xie frowned and sighed and said: "I have experienced all this, and I have reached this point. Even if there is not a perfect ending, there should be an incomplete ending. But look at it now, it has stopped suddenly, I Suddenly I realized that I was so stupid, what on earth did I do here? I... Anyway, if this is the end of everything, I will never accept it."

Fatty understood Wu Xie very well, and Wu Xie seemed to understand and be more open-minded, but he was extremely confused.

Crawling, we came to a cave entrance that was larger than before. I was very nervous. After a while, we all entered the cave. When we turned on the light and looked at it, I suddenly felt a little cold, and a feeling came out of my heart. Feeling a chill... I couldn't help but say: "Brother, this is it."

As expected, there was a half-human, half-snake female mummy sitting in the center of the cave. There were indeed circles of meteorite fragments and thick human skin surrounding her...

For the next period of time, the little brother watched in this hole and thought, I am afraid that he will touch the cocoon on the top, because I don’t know what the things in the cocoon will do to him.

Suddenly I heard Bai Hao shout: "Xiao Xun, do you want to drink?"

I looked back, and almost out of breath, I spat out a mouthful of old blood. I said to him, "What are you doing?" That guy Bai Hao was sitting leisurely on the ground, setting up a small folding stool as a small round table. A pot of wine and a handful of peanuts were put on the table...

Bai Hao looked at me, took a sip of wine, pinched two peanuts and said to me: "It will take him a while to read all the things on the cave wall. Take a break." He put the peanuts in his mouth. As soon as he started chewing.

Yu Jing smiled and said, "He started to let himself go when Li Yue was away. This means not being beaten for three days and then going to the house to uncover the tiles."

Bai Hao grabbed another mouthful of peanuts and mumbled, "Don't tell her." I couldn't help but laugh. This brother Bai Hao was not afraid of anything. He was only afraid of Li Yue blowing his beard and staring, because then Prove that he doesn’t want this month’s salary anymore.

I looked back at my brother and asked him: "Is it difficult to see it like this?" Then I pulled his arm, and he turned his head and lowered his body towards me. I said in his ear: "Does it take blood to do it?" See clearly, see faster?”

He nodded, and I added, "But how much blood will be needed to drain this area? It's better not to do it." After saying that, I winked at him.

He said "Yes" softly and used his two long fingers to touch the ravines.

After a while, Wen Jin called me: "Xiao Xun, come over and have a rest. He, it really takes a long time to see. Your fever has just gone away, so you still need more rest."

I looked at Wen Jin, then looked up at the little brother who was reading the information carefully. The little brother said softly to me: "Go and have a rest." "Yeah, okay." After agreeing to him, I went to find them. After resting, when he saw me coming over, Bai Hao took out a small cup from his bag, poured some of the small wine he brought and handed it to me and said: "Newly brewed bayberry wine can promote body fluids, quench thirst, regulate the five internal organs, and cleanse the body." Stomach and intestines, to remove annoyance, anger and bad odor." I stared blankly at him without taking the cup. He thought for a while and then said: "Ah! You were poisoned, injured, and had a fever before. You should nourish your blood, liver, and kidneys... You should now Drink mulberry wine, I'll get it for you." Then he took out a small flask and a small cup from his bag, and while pouring it, he said: "Mulberry wine, the best among fruit wines, it can nourish your health. It’s immune-boosting, suitable for our sister, come and drink it.”

Bai Hao usually makes some fruit wine and flower wine. When I was young, he would lie to me and say it was fruit juice.

I picked up the small cup and took a small sip. It felt pretty good. Suddenly I asked him a question: "Bai Hao, I came here recently, but I have no memory of it at all. Why? Haven't I been here before?" "

Bai Hao paused while sipping his wine and said, "Maybe I just didn't think about it for the moment. Don't worry, don't worry." But I always felt that when he answered this question, his eyes dodge for a moment. It seemed that he was hiding something. Look at me, but I didn’t ask any more questions, and then I drank some wine and looked at my brother from time to time.

Just like that, a few hours have passed. My brother has already watched a lot of things to read and think about, but it will still take some time to finish them all. He didn't even respond when I asked him to take a break. He was quite immersed in watching it.

When I got tired of waiting, Yu Jing and the others took out the equipment they had brought and laid out a sleeping bag for me. They were there to guard me, so I was allowed to have a solid rest.

When I woke up, I found a flickering fire in front of me. They cleared the ground and lit a small fire. My brother sat next to me and stared at the fire in a daze.

I saw them cooking food. They brought freeze-dried ingredients, including vegetables, meat, and grains. They also brought a complete range of commonly used seasonings. I didn’t feel very hungry at first, but as they cooked it, the aroma became more intense. Come on, I haven’t had a good meal in a long time, and the temptation is quite strong. I remember that the best meal I had last time was the pot of canned food cooked by the fat man.

We stayed in this cave like this for another two days. After seeing those things, the younger brother became more and more bored and didn't even eat much.

He was holding the food in his hand, and he was so stunned that he barely had two bites. He put down the bowl and ran to look at the things on the wall. He felt like he had lost weight. I fed him the most food. , I only ate one or two more. It was because he saw that I was worried about him that he ate so well.

Until that day, he finally finished studying the things on the wall, and his eyes began to move to the cocoon on the top... I thought to myself, no matter what, he still stared at it. There is really no way to avoid it, no. , this is what is delivered to your door... the sheep has fallen into the tiger's mouth!

I held his arm and looked at him pitifully. The little brother held my little face with his warm hands and stroked it gently a few times. Although his face was expressionless and he didn't speak, there was always a feeling that he was like this. It's saying "I'm sorry" to me.

The little brother hesitated for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself. I felt a little aggrieved and pouted helplessly, and my heart suddenly went cold.

Immediately after, he pulled me up and ran towards the annoying thing. I thought to myself, what is this, do I have anything to do with it?

I turned around and saw Bai Hao and the others all retreating. Then, just like he did that day in Lu Palace, he stared at the cocoon for a moment with a very serious expression, and then knelt down with a "grumbling" sound. At the same time, he grabbed my arm and pulled me down. Without warning at all, my knees hit the ground with a "bang" and hurt. The force went straight to the top of my head, but I didn't dare to say anything. The sound made me break into a sweat.

The little brother suddenly raised his hand and pinched the back of my neck to straighten it for me, pinched the back of my head, and took me to worship the cocoon with him. We sat there and kowtowed so hard that I even looked up with fear. Venus, tears of pain flowed down uncontrollably.

Bai Hao grinned, Yu Jing looked helpless, and Wen Jin looked puzzled.

As if I was beaten by frost, I put my hands on the ground to support myself so that I wouldn't fall down. The guy next to me stared at the thing with good eyes and started to whisper about it in a language that neither of us could understand. After talking for a long time, although I didn’t understand it, my hair stood up and I got goosebumps.

But as I talked, I saw the little brother's face getting paler and paler, and he was very nervous. Then I heard the thing in the cocoon making a continuous and creepy sound. Unconsciously, I also looked at that person. I was afraid that the thing inside could escape from the cocoon. When the thing made a sound, the whole cocoon was shaking, and the crumbs of skin on it fell down like big snowflakes, and we were completely trapped in the human skin snow. Trembling with fear.

Just before I was scared to death, the little brother next to me fell to the ground with a "gurgling" sound. He curled up and covered his head with his hands, his expression was very painful.

Upon seeing this, I immediately pounced on him. I kept calling him, but he didn't seem to hear me. He rolled on the ground in pain. I couldn't help him at all. He was very strong. Several times, I just managed to hold him. He was knocked to the ground by him. The strange sound of the cocoon did not stop, so Bai Hao and the others did not dare to rush over.

Now it is almost like seeing Tang Monk reciting a tightening curse to Sun Wukong. The little brother feels like his head is going to explode. The veins on his head are bulging, his face is pale, and he is sweating. He must be in pain.

He kept struggling, and I was so anxious that I really had no choice but to wait for the cocoon to stop. I hugged him with all my strength, fearing that he would hurt himself, but my strength was no match for him. He was so strong that he knocked me to the ground. I had no choice but to hold him tightly with my legs. In the process, I was hit by him and it hurt a little bit. I remember exactly how many times I was hit, and suddenly the smell of blood surged up my throat, and the extremely severe pain in my body had already made my brain a little numb.

The thing in the cocoon was like a chatterbox. It kept mumbling for a few minutes before calming down. As soon as the noise stopped, the little brother stopped rolling, but his condition was very bad. I supported him and rolled over reluctantly. When I got to him, I saw that his whole body was trembling and huddled up. I called him a few more times in a weak voice, but he still couldn't hear me.

Seeing that the cocoon was completely quiet, the three of them immediately ran to us. Wen Jin and Yu Jing helped me up, and Bai Hao went to see the little brother. He put his hand on his head. I could see that he had used spiritual power. I went to check him out and stabilized his condition. It was like giving him a sedative. The little brother quickly calmed down. I asked Bai Hao: "What's wrong with him?"

Bai Hao said: "Empty."

At this time, I began to feel a little dazed, repeating Bai Hao's words: "It's cleared..." I coughed twice and said, "Then he...is not in any other danger?"

Yu Jing was checking her little brother. She said to me: "His heartbeat is very fast and he is in a state of extreme fear. There is nothing serious about his body. He will get better after resting. But this state caused by fright It might be going on for a while.”

This means that the little brother's life is not in danger. I muttered: "It's okay, it's okay..." I felt relieved, but I couldn't hold it anymore. The smell of blood that surged up before suddenly surged. When he came up, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, and he felt like he collapsed instantly. He was covered in sweat and felt a little cold.

Wen Jin hugged me tightly, Yu Jing hurriedly took out the pills and stuffed them into my mouth. Bai Hao reached out and grabbed my arm, and quietly transferred spiritual power to me. The fox tail of the spiritual stone on my body was quietly helping me recover. .

Yu Jing looked at me worriedly and said, "With your small body, you can't hold him down. He's not hurt at all, but you killed him half-death. If he knows that you don't want to kill him, just wait." He's fine. See if he doesn't deal with you, he has no memory." When Yu Jing said this, she waved her hand, and I knew she meant that she could secretly gain spiritual power, and that my old habit of being brave has not changed.

I said, "But why was I anxious just now? It's not all because of those cocoons, which were chattering endlessly." After coughing several times, Wen Jin smiled and said, "Let them have a good rest first. .”

Bai Hao said: "I'll lay out another sleeping bag."

Soon, my brother and I were helped to rest on sleeping bags, and they placed us side by side.

We were curled up on the sleeping bag facing each other. I could reach him with my hand. I looked at the little brother in front of me in confusion. He was like an insecure child now. It was heartbreaking to see. I held his hand. , and gradually fell asleep.
