Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

It turned out to be the case.

Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows, looked at the piles of white hair, and thought about how these people couldn't wait to take a bath in the hot spring after entering the cave, and smiled:

"This parasitic speed will be quite troublesome if I encounter it again."

There were at least a dozen people entering the mountain. Not only would all of them try to touch the hot springs, but at least half of them would go into the water.

This is an instinct, and also the temptation of snow mountain hot springs.

Without external interference, those people are equivalent to the breeding ground of this thing, and can turn a complete person into a puppet in an instant.

If they met, not to mention whether the creature could get close and parasitize, but in this small and broken place, once the number increased, it would be very troublesome and a waste of time.

"Yeah." Zhang Qiling took out the dagger from Qin Yuchen's waist, pierced a small hole on his index finger, let the blood flow out, and smeared it on the side of Qin Yuchen's neck.

“But they can only parasitize by entering the human body.

Just don’t let it come into contact with your mouth, nose, or wounds.”

He let go of Qin Yuchen, and silently cleaned and disinfected the wound under the man's gaze, then put on a Band-Aid before wiping the dagger clean and handing it over.

"Let's go."

Zhang Qiling did not waste it and threw the handkerchief he used to wipe the dagger to the place where they needed to pass. He saw the white hair and dodged instantly as if it had encountered a flood or a beast, and said to Qin Yuchen with a slight side glance.

"it is good."

Qin Yuchen saw Zhang Qiling bandaged his wound and was about to say something, but gave up after thinking for a while.

He walked quickly to the front of Zhang Qiling, no longer paying attention to those things that wanted to get close but didn't dare to, and climbed over the rocks to continue walking deeper.

When they reached the end, they stopped on a cliff.

When the stone kicked down by your feet first falls, you can hear some bumping sounds, and then it falls into the deep valley and disappears without a trace.

The light from the flashlight was limited, so Qin Yuchen took out a signal gun from his backpack and fired a flare into the air.

The moment the white light came on, the scene of a small area around the cliff came into view.

Their current position was a bit strange. Under their feet was a gravel slope that was just wide enough for two people to stand on, but it could slide down at any time. Some gravel would fall off every time they moved an inch. Apart from that, there was no other place to step.

In front of them was a bottomless cliff. The rough and uneven stone walls around them extended downward from the shadow above their heads until they disappeared into the deepest part of the cliff.

Behind them was the passage through which they came here.

The flares gradually went out. Qin Yuchen fired another one and squinted his eyes to try to see the opposite side clearly.

But the distance was too far, so he could only see some blurry scenes.

"How do we get there now?"

Qin Yuchen kicked down a larger stone at his feet. The knocking sound lasted longer than the previous time, and the sound of it hitting the ground could be faintly heard.

Going down seems unlikely.

Qin Yuchen moved a few inches to the edge, leaned out and looked down with a flashlight.

The ropes they brought were not long enough, and they couldn't find a place to drive stakes where they were standing, and there was a rock wall under their feet.

Although the stone wall is rough, there are not many protruding places to stand on, and judging from the nearest few pieces, it is not stable.

At this time, Zhang Qiling was looking around the small piece of land with a flashlight.

He did not choose to answer Qin Yuchen's question first, but instead finished looking around the place.

Then he reached out and gently tugged on the strap of Qin Yuchen's backpack, telling him not to look down anymore, and said:

"go back."

"Okay." Qin Yuchen glanced sideways, nodded, and moved back carefully, and re-entered the passage they came from with Zhang Qiling.

They followed the passage to a well-shaped fork in the road.

Qin Yuchen supported himself on one of the stone bricks in the passage, and ran his thumb over the brick, adding a new mark on it that he had carved with a knife.

This was carved after they left the group of white-haired people and encountered the passage.

The corridor of blue bricks and stone tiles contrasts with the road we came from. One is a rugged, narrow and difficult-to-walk group of rocks, while the other is a man-made passage.

There are many forks in the corridor, and you can go in almost any direction. As for where it leads...

They have no interest in exploring them one by one.

The road hidden in the darkness is deep and mysterious, as if in the next second, something will rush out of the darkness, making people panic, thus achieving some kind of intimidation purpose.

Zhang Qiling took Qin Yuchen and changed his route.

When you come to a fork in the road, don't turn, just keep going in a straight line.

Fortunately, we didn’t encounter any cliffs this time, but we stayed in the corridor for a little too long.

I don’t know how long I walked, but the road ahead finally changed a little.

The corridor that had a fork in the road every three steps at the beginning has now become a single road.

Moreover, the stone bricks around it are carved more exquisitely.

Especially the ones at the top of the channel.

Each stone brick is cut smooth and the pattern is carefully polished, and laid neatly together to make the pattern more complete.

Qin Yuchen took out a dagger and made a new mark on the stone brick, then put his backpack on the ground and sat down against the wall.

As usual, Zhang Qiling walked deeper into the passage to see if there was any danger.

After finding that there was nothing unusual for the time being, he returned and sat down next to Qin Yuchen.

It had been a long time since their last rest, so they decided to take a short nap.

Qin Yuchen and Zhang Qiling did not mention the question of who would rest and who would guard. They tacitly planned to continue to exploit 007 and let it guard.

After a simple meal, Zhang Qiling watched Qin Yuchen packing his backpack. When he saw the thing on his neck that was dry and about to disappear, he was about to prick his finger again, but was stopped by Qin Yuchen's quick eyes and hands.

Qin Yuchen put the flashlight in a position where he could reach it, sat upright with Zhang Qiling's shoulder to shoulder, reached out and pinched Zhang Qiling's hand that was ready to move, and said helplessly:

"Don't prick them anymore, or your hands will be full of tiny holes."
