Chapter 299 Entering the Underground Labyrinth
...Sorry, I have something to delay today, so the update is late...

One person and one fox entered the underground labyrinth along the hole dug by the tomb robbers. Guided by the red spirit, they naturally entered the innermost layer of the underground labyrinth without any effort.

At this time, the few people who went in earlier had long since disappeared. At the beginning, some footsteps and voices could be vaguely heard, but now there is not even the slightest sound.

It was pitch black all around, only the small flashlight in Su Qingdai's hand emitted a beam of light, illuminating the road ahead.Even with the guidance of the Red Spirit, Su Qingdai was still a little nervous, her heart pounding.Because she was in this dark underground palace, she could only hear her own footsteps and her heartbeat, which were clearly audible.

When a person is alone in the dark, a sense of fear will arise for no reason. People yearn for light, not because light can bring hope to people, but because people lack a sense of security in the unknown darkness.

Just walked into the maze step by step, but after a while, I have already encountered several organs.

Those traps are not indestructible, as long as you walk through the gate of life, you will not touch the traps, but ordinary people enter this underground palace like chickens without their heads, and rarely find the gate of life, so this underground labyrinth is terrifying.

But with the Red Spirit around, Su Qingdai naturally has no worries in this regard, she just needs to follow its footsteps behind the Red Spirit,
After the two entered the underground palace, they realized that the more they walked in, the more open the inside became. The stone walls on both sides gradually became uneven, and it seemed that water was seeping out from the stone walls. Su Qingdai and Hong Ling walked very fast. Very slowly, in the quiet underground palace, she seemed to hear the sound of ticking.

"What sound?" Su Qingdai looked forward vigilantly. The closer they got to the center of the underground palace, the voice became clearer and clearer. This made Su Qingdai nervous. After all, everything in this underground palace is unknown.

"Sound of water, there should be a spring in front." Hong Ling's spiritual intelligence can detect everything in this underground palace, but this time it has to be careful, because its spiritual power was unreasonably captured by the spirit beast at the moment of release. Sucked away most of it.

Su Qingdai couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when Hong Ling said it was the sound of water, and walked forward. Gradually, she couldn't help opening her mouth wide in surprise.

They actually came to a natural stalactite cave, where stalactites of different sizes hung upside down on the top of the cliff in a patchwork pattern. What surprised Su Qingdai even more was that there was something shining with colorful light on top of those stalactites.

"This is..." Seeing those stalactites actually inlaid with large and small crystals, Su Qingdai's first thought was to stretch out her hand and pinch herself fiercely, constantly hinting in her heart that those things must not be real!
"Hmph, you humans are really stupid. Diamonds and jewelry are nothing more than a pile of stones, but you treat them as treasures. What can really make you humans last forever is not these flashy things, but the elixir of life. It's a pity that you will never be able to understand the mystery of it, even the most talented Qin Shihuang can't figure out what is really valuable in it."

Seeing Su Qingdai staring at those shining colorful gems in a daze, Hong Ling couldn't help but sarcastically said.

Su Qingdai was a little guilty by what it said, she couldn't help turning her eyes away, and stared at it angrily: "What do you know, human beings like beautiful things, gems are like gifts from heaven, the rarer they are, the more valuable they are. As for you Speaking of longevity medicine, yes, your spirit fox family understands these far more than humans, but human beings are not without merit. All creatures have their own laws of existence, not every race is as perverted as your spirit fox, You can live for thousands of years without dying. Besides, what is the use of immortality? Tens of thousands of years are too long, it is better to seize the day and live your life well, isn't it better?"

Hong Ling snorted coldly after hearing Su Qingdai's theory, and said with disdain: "That's why I say that you humans are superficial, and becoming a fairy is the most noble belief of our Linghu clan for tens of thousands of years. Such a mission has been deeply engraved In our flesh and blood, Linghu has been fighting for this goal all his life, insisting on it for thousands of years, such a belief is beyond your understanding."

Su Qingdai doesn't want to talk to Linghu too much. The environment of the two primates is different, and the natural worldview and values ​​are different.Walking towards the stalactite cave, Su Qingdai fell silent and stopped talking.

After stepping into the stalactite cave, Su Qingdai felt as if she had stepped into a grotesque world.The so-called stalactite, also known as stalactite, is the long geological evolution process of carbonate in the cave.Their strange shapes require tens of thousands of years to form under certain conditions.

Su Qingdai looked at the scene in front of her. Countless stalagmites emerged from the ground, as if the bamboo forest had just revived in spring, and the stalactites hanging from the top of the rock were like icicles hanging from the eaves in winter.The stalactites oozed dripping drops of water, dripping down, forming small pits and pits.

Su Qingdai suddenly realized that the ticking sound she heard earlier was actually formed by the water droplets falling from these stalactites.

Going further in, Su Qingdai bumped into Hong Ling.Hong Ling stopped in front of him, stared ahead without saying a word.Su Qingdai was taken aback, and followed its line of sight.

A natural stone platform appeared directly in front of it, and on the stone platform, there was actually a giant python lying on it. The giant python opened its mouth and was glaring at a person and a fox. There seemed to be milky white saliva dripping from its mouth.

My God, why is there a giant python here? !Su Qingdai was startled, her face changed greatly, she took a step back instinctively, her whole body was tense, her hairs were flaring, and she stared at the giant python.

Sensing Su Qingdai's nervousness, Hong Ling turned his head and gave Su Qingdai a sideways glance, chuckled lightly, and said unhurriedly: "It's fake." I feel very happy to play tricks on Su Qingdai, a mortal.

Hearing this, Su Qingdai raised her head and looked at the giant python. As Hong Ling said, the giant python lay motionless on the spot, with a pair of round eyes without the slightest expression, it was clearly a The stone snake imagined by the evolution of stalactites!
Su Qingdai has also been to many tourist attractions in her previous life. She has seen many strange stalactite caves of various shapes. The Stone Flower Cave is full of strange rocks, the Thousand Buddha Cave is full of Bodhisattvas, and the Silver Fox Cave is full of foxes. It is the addition of people's imagination factors that make people feel that those things really look like something special.

But she had never seen such a realistic stalactite, the giant python lying on the stone platform, if the red spirit hadn't told her that it was fake, she would have been deceived, and she didn't even have any doubt about the giant python. The python will jump towards her in the next moment.

Although Su Qingdai saw many scenic spots in the last life, in order to attract tourists, the stalactites were transformed to make some stalactites more in line with reality, so as to increase tourism income, but this is not a tourist attraction, Su Qingdai can be very sure, The stone python in front of him is definitely a naturally formed stalactite.

Such naturally formed stalactites are so lifelike and ready to emerge, people have to feel that the hand of God is really amazing, and Su Qingdai is amazed to see it.

But for some reason, she always felt that the giant python was waiting here specially. The mouth of the giant python was wide open, and the saliva in the mouth was still dripping down, splashing like white mist. drops of water.

It was only then that Su Qingdai discovered that there was a sunken stone trough on the stone platform, and the saliva dripping from the giant python's mouth just happened to drip into this stone trough. The stone trough was about a foot square and not deep. Now the inside has been dripping with milky white liquid, and it is overflowing towards the surroundings.

What surprised Su Qingdai was not that the stalactites and the stone platform were properly formed, but the milky white liquid in the stone trough, which seemed to emit a faint fragrance after dripping from the mouth of the giant python.

Su Qingdai didn't know what words to use to describe the smell, but it was indeed a fragrance, and after smelling the fragrance, she seemed to become lighter and refreshed, as if even the vision in front of her eyes changed It became much clearer.

Su Qingdai was still in a daze, Hong Ling rushed to the opening of the stone groove without saying a word, stuck out her tongue and licked the white lotion, when Su Qingdai came back to her senses, the groove was filled with a foot square of liquid Hong Ling drank most of it.

Hong Ling seemed very happy, licked the corner of his mouth, and hiccupped with satisfaction.Su Qingdai saw that it looked very satisfied, and couldn't help but wonder, can the things dripping from the stone be eaten?

At this time, Hong Ling turned around and looked at Su Qingdai: "Why are you still standing there? This is a good thing. Don't you have a bottle in your Qiankun bag? Put all these leftovers and hide them!"

Su Qingdai was puzzled, but according to what Hongling said, she took out a porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag, scooped out the white lotion in the groove, and put it into the bottle.

When she filled the entire porcelain bottle, the remaining lotion in the groove had bottomed out. Hong Ling looked at the little lotion left in the groove, then looked back at Su Qingdai, and suddenly opened his mouth to her He ordered: "Open your mouth?"

"Ah? What are you doing?" Su Qingdai was very puzzled, and was about to ask, when she saw the remaining lotion in the groove suddenly soaring into the air, taking advantage of the moment Su Qingdai opened her mouth to speak, flying directly into her mouth Running over, without waiting for Su Qingdai's reaction, the thing quickly fell into her mouth.

Su Qingdai was taken aback, and couldn't help but want to spit out the thing that slipped into her mouth, but it was too late, as soon as the lotion entered her mouth, it slipped into her throat like jade beads.

Su Qingdai was startled and angry, couldn't help but widen her eyes, pointed at the red aura and said, "Bah bah, what is this thing? Why did you give it to me!" Thinking that it was the leftovers eaten by this coquettish fox Something, Su Qingdai felt nauseous for a while, bent down and coughed.
