Don't run, there are monsters everywhere.

Lin Yi had seen insect eggs laid by flies before.

The white insect eggs were arranged together, and their elongated shapes looked like rice grains.

When Zhang Cheng arranged the egg fruits, Lin Yi immediately thought of the insect eggs.

"Don't eat them." Zhou Kai glanced at the two children who were wolfing down the food, and wanted to stop them, but was stopped by Zhang Cheng.

"Let them eat it." Zhang Cheng shook his head.

"Even if this thing is really insect eggs, it won't kill people if they eat it."

Although it sounds a bit disgusting, for the people in this underground world, this kind of thing may be their only source of protein.

But what Lin Yi cares more about is how big the insect is to lay such a large insect egg.

"When we came here, we didn't seem to see any large insects, right?" Lin Yi asked.

Zhou Kai shook his head and said, "No, in addition to the glowing mosses and mushrooms, there are only people living here, and the houses and fields they built."

"This place can't be investigated in detail." Zhang Cheng glanced out the window and whispered.

"Before, Zhu Lai said that the villagers here work in the fields. But if they grow crops, how can they grow without sunlight?"

"If they don't grow crops, what do they grow?" Lin Yi frowned.

At this point, Lin Yi turned his eyes to the egg fruit on the plate.

"Could it be that... the insects that produce these eggs were buried in the soil by them?" Lin Yi guessed.

"The so-called 'farming' is just providing nutrients to these insects so that they can lay eggs?"

Zhang Cheng nodded: "It's not impossible."

"Although this method sounds quite weird, this 'weirdness' is based on our current cognition."

"For them, this method may be an ordinary 'farming'."

"Compared to these strange foods, I am more curious about why people here can live in such a humid environment."

The light emitted by mosses and fungi is not real sunlight. Long-term lack of sunlight has a serious impact on the human body.

Although this underground world is not completely forbidden to go out, according to what Lin Yi and his friends have seen so far, very few people go out.

When thinking of this, a sharp voice came from outside the door, which scared Lin Yi and his friends.

"Hey, are you eating?"

The sudden sound made Lin Yi and his friends frown slightly. Looking back, they saw Ah Shu appearing outside the door.

This time, Zhou Kai still did not hear Ah Shu's heartbeat, and even did not hear his footsteps coming here.

"Then I came at the right time." Ah Shu's appearance at this time was completely different from when he met Zhu Lai before.

At this time, he walked in quickly like a gangster.

Ah Shu walked to the table and reached out to knock the fruit in the little boy's hand.

Then he grabbed an egg fruit and put it into his mouth. "Slurp" sound, and ate it into his stomach.

"Just when I was hungry, I came to your place to get some food." Ah Shu glared at the two children and said to himself, "I don't think you will mind."

The little boy frowned at Ah Shu and looked at him. It can be seen that he was very angry, but he did not dare to resist.

The little girl next to him was timid to begin with, and when Ah Shu suddenly came so close, he immediately hid his figure.

Seeing the little girl suddenly disappear, Ah Shu was not surprised, and he put all the mushrooms and fruits on the plate into his clothes.

"Well, I don't have a good appetite today, so I'll eat these." Ah Shu filled his pockets and turned to leave.

When he passed by Lin Yi, he glanced at him with his head, and then said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, thank you for your food, I'll come again tomorrow."

"My last name is not 'Zhu'." Lin Yi frowned.

"Oh, yes, I remember you said that." Ah Shu looked mean.

"I'm leaving first, bye."

Lin Yi looked back at the wooden plate, and Ah Shu took away all the fruits and mushrooms on the plate, leaving only the egg fruits.

Lin Yi frowned, thought for a moment, leaned close to Zhou Kai and said a few words, then quickly chased after him.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Yi ran to Ah Shu, very close to Ah Shu.

"What for?" Ah Shu asked.

"Are you reluctant to give up these foods?"

"No, I just want to ask you, how long have you been here?" Lin Yi said.

"About half a month." Ah Shu didn't seem to expect Lin Yi to ask such a question, but still answered, "I can't remember exactly how long it has been. Who has time to remember these things? Anyway, I don't remember."

"I live in the present, one day at a time, and never remember time."

"Then you..." Lin Yi thought for a while and continued to ask, "Do you think this place is a bit strange?"

Hearing this, Ah Shu seemed to be interested, his eyes turned, and he grinned: "Now that you mention it, it's really a bit strange."

"This place, I heard that it was the imperial tomb of a certain emperor a long time ago." Ah Shu deliberately lowered his voice, as if he wanted to make his voice sound a little more terrifying.

"You know the imperial tomb? It's a tomb, a place where the dead are buried."

"You'd better be careful when you sleep, this place... is haunted!"

Ashu's words seemed to be a joke, but combined with Zhang Cheng's previous analysis of his identity, Lin Yi always felt that he had something to say.

Ashu didn't care and said with a smile: "I'm joking, don't take it too seriously."

After that, he left with a smile.

After returning to the house, Lin Yi walked to Zhou Kai and asked: "How is it?"

Zhou Kai shook his head: "I didn't hear anything."

The reason why Lin Yi chased him was to verify the reason why Ashu had no heartbeat.

However, when Lin Yi approached Ashu, Zhou Kai not only didn't hear Ashu's heartbeat, but even Lin Yi's heartbeat disappeared.

Not only that, they seemed to have entered a space isolated from the outside world, and Zhou Kai didn't even hear the content of the conversation.

"So, his ability should be to isolate sounds within a specific range." Zhang Cheng touched his chin.

"That's right, if you isolate the sound you make, then you won't attract other people's attention during the investigation." This discovery made them more certain of their previous guesses.

"Ashu's purpose for coming here is not simple."

"But why did he take away these foods?" Zhou Kai was a little confused.

After knowing that these white egg fruits were insect eggs, Zhou Kai had no appetite at all.

Compared to these insect eggs, he would rather eat the mushrooms and fruits next to them.

However, A Shu took away these edible things.

"Does he also know that these egg fruits are insect eggs and take away other food because he feels disgusted?" Zhou Kai asked.

Lin Yi thought about it. If he remembered correctly, A Shu ate an egg fruit in front of them.

When he thought of this, the figure of the little girl reappeared.

She was holding a fruit in her hand, and it disappeared with her when she became invisible, so A Shu didn't notice it.

"Will it be..." Lin Yi had a guess in his heart, "He wants to save us?"
