Eye of Darkness

"Okay! Now that we have reached a basic consensus, I will tell you some news."

Yan Ming nodded with some interest.

"You said."

Mu Qili raised his hand and pointed in the other direction of the fork in the road.

"My little fire horse discovered that there is a special aura in that direction. There might be something good there."

Of course, there may also be dangers.

Yan Ming silently added what Mu Qili didn't say and looked in that direction.

It was also a coincidence that that direction was where Glitter Ghost wanted to take him.

In this case, that direction may be the area that gave birth to the Dark Stone. Fortunately, they just agreed to cooperate with each other. Otherwise, the destination is the same now, and I am afraid they will die of embarrassment.

"Are you sure? I've been wandering around this place for a few days. Except for some wild elves, the environment is similar."

Yan Ming stood up and expressed doubts about Mu Qili's words.

"Well, I'm sure."

Mu Qili chuckled lightly. She still agreed with Xiao Huoma's judgment. What's more, besides going to that place, there is no other choice now, right?

There are three roads, one is the road the other party came from, one is on your own side, and the only one left is that direction.

Thinking of this, Mu Qili greeted Yan Ming.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Yan Ming nodded and followed Mu Qili in that direction. Although they had the same purpose now, they both kept a certain distance with each other tacitly.

Because of the little fire horse, Yan Ming put the flashlight back, and after thinking about it, he took one of the pills he traded from Mu Qili.

The pill melted in the mouth. As the esophagus digested and spread, a warm energy quickly poured into the limbs and bones. In just a moment, Yan Ming felt that his body, which was still tingling, was as good as before. People feel very comfortable as if all their nerves have been released.

In addition to the partially exposed scarred wounds that still proved Yan Ming's previous injuries, Yan Ming doubted whether his previous injuries were fake.

Mu Qili on the side saw that Yan Ming finally took the medicine he had exchanged, and was speechless at the little guy's vigilance.

"Finally you are willing to take medicine? Are you not afraid that the medicine is poisonous?"

Yan Ming turned to look at Mu Qili, who had a joking expression on his face, and ignored him.

Seeing that this little guy didn't like him, Mu Qili felt a little depressed.

"Hey! What's that...Yan Ming, ah yes! Yan Ming, at least we are partners now, so we won't be like a bottle of oil without saying a word?"

"Oh, I know."

For strangers, especially the trialists on the trial island, Yan Ming had no desire to communicate. What's more, he was used to being alone. Unless it was necessary, it didn't matter if he didn't talk. He could only communicate with strangers. Elves talk more when they stay together.

Moreover, Yan Ming is currently imagining the situations he may encounter later in order to be prepared. He doesn't have much time to argue with the other party, but the other party's words reminded him that Mu Qili and he are still allies on the surface, even if they are later When encountering danger, the other party will also help, so a proper and good relationship is still necessary to prevent the other party from standing aside and watching the show when encountering threats.

Hearing Yan Ming's somewhat perfunctory answer.

Ok.

Mu Qili understood that the other party did not like to communicate, but Mu Qili was also a restless person. In addition, he had been alone for a long time in the past few days, and now he urgently needed someone to chat with, so Mu Qili turned his gaze Put it on the bandage wrapped around Yan Ming's upper body.

The opponent's ghost put a lot of pressure on him, how could he be so seriously injured?What has the other party experienced before?

"By the way, why are you injured?"

Yan Ming lowered his eyes. He was not prepared to tell the truth, and he was too lazy to make up an experience.

"Well, some minor accidents."

Mu Qili, who was on the side, saw that Yan Ming was unwilling to reveal it and did not force it. For her, although she was curious about what happened to the other party before, she only wanted to guess the other party's strength from the side when she inquired about it. Although the other party did not feel weak to her, she was confident in herself, and with the current injuries on her body, she could not threaten her.

The two of them continued forward and turned another corner. Yan Ming stopped, raised his arm to cover his nose, and frowned as he looked at the road ahead.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Qili also saw Yan Ming's strange behavior and asked quickly.

"Have you noticed that there is a strange smell?"

Mu Qili wrinkled her nose when she heard the words, sniffed the surrounding air carefully, and found that there was nothing abnormal, but with her years of caution, she still felt a little vigilant in her heart.

Looking at Yan Ming in a blink of an eye, he looked thoughtful, which made Mu Qili curious. Does this little guy have a keen sense of smell, or does the other person have a stronger sense of smell than others?

However, Mu Qili was not nervous. After all, the little fire horse didn't give her a warning. She didn't believe that no matter how strong the other party's sense of smell was, how could it be better than the little fire horse?Compared with the strange smell, Mu Qili felt more like the rags on the other person's body. Maybe that smell came from him.

"I didn't smell it. Did you find something?"

Yan Ming shook his head and put his arms down.

He just heard the telepathy of Flash Ghost, saying that he felt the aura of his own race.

Yan Ming was afraid that there would be gas here again, so he covered his nose, but after thinking about it, the appearance of ghosts did not necessarily mean that the surrounding environment was gas. It was also because he had experienced it at the ruins before that he subconsciously became vigilant. of.

"Well, there might be a ghost on the other side."

Ghost?

Mu Qili was a little surprised, but when he saw the ghost floating next to Yan Ming, he had a guess in his mind.

Mu Qili did not doubt Yan Ming's words, nodded, and then paid attention to his physical condition at all times and continued to move forward.

If it was just ghosts, then she wasn't afraid.

The two of them soon arrived at the end of the passage. At the end, Mu Qili's eyes fell on the dark cave entrance at the end.

Yan Ming looked at the cave with some hesitation. It was only wide enough for one person to pass through. If something went wrong, it would be difficult to escape. But he also knew that this was the only way, whether it was the exit or the possible darkness. The place where the stone was born.

The entrance to the cave was a bit narrow. The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. Immediately, Mu Qili put the little fire horse into the elf ball, and the flash ghost disappeared into Yan Ming's shadow. The two entered it one after the other.

The reason why Yan Ming chose to go in first was because the person behind him couldn't see what was going on in front, and it all depended on the reaction of the person in front. Yan Ming didn't want his own safety to be in the hands of others. As for whether Mu Qili would The other party also understood this when attacking from behind, so they acquiesced that Flash Ghost was still outside to protect themselves.

Yan Ming turned on the light. Not long after he entered the cave, he immediately noticed something unusual. The cave was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with the smell of rotting corpses. In just a few steps, Yan Ming and Mu Qi were able to Several bodies were found blocking the road.

This made Mu Qili behind him couldn't help retching, but the smell was not pungent. Yan Ming felt better. His wandering experience in this life made him more adaptable to harsh environments. After seeing these corpses, Yan Ming's heart became gloomy.

He began to hesitate whether to retreat. After all, Yan Ming could not guarantee that he would be intact if he was attacked in such a narrow environment.

But it seems like I have no choice, right?There are three roads, and this is the only one left... It seems there is no other way.

Thinking of this, Yan Ming smiled helplessly.

While Yan Ming was thinking, Mu Qili behind him didn't think so much. She didn't like the rancid smell very much, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she showed a look of joy after thinking of something.

After thinking about it, Yan Ming thought of Mu Qili's retching sound just now, and was afraid that the other party would vomit behind his back, so he looked back and saw Mu Qili's appearance, feeling a little puzzled in his heart. Mu Qili's demeanor changed, which made Yan Ming Ming was even more confused, wondering why the other party looked so happy.

"what happened to you?"

Yan Ming asked.

Hearing this, Mu Qili raised his eyes to look at Yan Ming and said in a somewhat excited tone.

"It's okay. Don't you think that such a strong smell of blood means someone has been inside?"

"so what?"

Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mu Qili dumbfounded.

"Regardless of whether there are still people inside, you should have smelled the smell of rotting corpses. With the concentration of blood inside, you wouldn't think that the other party would be easy to talk to."

As he spoke, the military knife in Yan Ming's hand was held in his right hand.

"You are really big-hearted when you are ready to rush in like this."

In Yan Ming's opinion, this chilling aura is much stronger than that of Mu Qili. This cannot be caused by more than a dozen lives. The kind of guy who makes Yan Ming feel uneasy even with his smell is definitely not simple.

Mu Qili was startled and didn't understand why the other party thought so.

In her opinion, it is normal for the testers in Team Rocket to have the smell of blood, which is also proof of their strength.

However, seeing that the other party's face was serious and did not look like he was joking anymore, Mu Qili still suppressed his thoughts, but still murmured.

"Whoever comes to Trial Island and survives to this day has no trace of blood."

Yan Ming listened to the other party's mutterings and looked at the other party with disgust. He was speechless in his heart. He just wanted to express that the other party was not simple and needed to be careful. He didn't expect that the other party's focus was so skewed. During the previous transaction, he seemed to be still... Quite clever.

Mu Qili also noticed Yan Ming's strange eyes.

"Yan Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Ming silently looked away and shook his head.

"fine."

After saying that, Yan Ming ignored Mu Qili and walked forward, while Mu Qili followed behind in confusion.

At this moment, Yan Ming's mind suddenly rang with the telepathic voice of the Flash Ghost.

"Flash Ghost, what's wrong?"

Under normal circumstances, Glitter Ghost would not disturb him in the presence of outsiders unless he discovered something he needed to know. Thinking of this, Yan Ming immediately asked.

"Yan Ming, I feel like I'm being targeted."
