My host is cold and scumbag

Chapter 72: The Tomb is Heavy and the Alley is Deep

He Chengwu and the others squatted there until their legs were numb, and they didn't dare to move. The thing carrying the corpse was too scary. And the thing in the dark that took the corpse away.

But the voices of people chasing behind were getting closer and closer. He Chengwu's heartbeat, which was about to suffocate, slowed down again, and his consciousness and body returned to normal. He quickly stood up and checked the route left and right. In the end, he chose the left and started their escape again.

The main reason was that hiding in this dead end was too dangerous. He Chengwu always liked to lead the way for others. Yue Qiu pulled He Chengwu several times. He Chengwu said it was okay. Finally, Yue Qiu whispered: "He Shao, don't run like this. If you run like last time, once you get into an accident, the others will scatter."

He Chengwu panted a few times and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Why think about these things now? The most important thing is to get rid of the people behind us."

Shousheng held He Chengwu and whispered, "This terrain is not right. The people behind are chasing too close. There is a dead end here. It may be dangerous to go forward. Moreover, this is a slope going down. It is too dark. It may be dangerous."

He Chengwu turned his head and looked at Shousheng: "What suggestions do you have?"

Shousheng pointed to the tree, and He Chengwu immediately understood what he meant, but he couldn't help but worry. Shousheng continued to whisper: "We can't go any further inside, it's too dangerous."

He Chengwu looked at the place and calmed down to think for a while. It was very dangerous to wander around aimlessly in the deep mountains and old forests. Moreover, the signal here was very weak, and they had limited food and water with them.

If the cruelly placed corpse was undoubtedly a sacrifice in a tribal ritual, its existence was like an invisible barrier.

He Chengwu looked back at the road he had come from, feeling mixed emotions. Along the way, Yue Qiu and other brothers had not complained at all, as the Yang family had arranged for them to be brothers who were not afraid of death.

He Chengwu realized that no matter which path he chose, he could not escape the shadow of death. This dilemma made everyone feel extremely depressed.

But Shousheng was right. He couldn't go any deeper. After taking a last look at the place that frightened them, He Chengwu waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

The appearance and disappearance of the woman meant that there must be another way over there. At least it could hide people. As for the danger, they had to go one step at a time. He Chengwu led his men to walk under the tree, while Yue Qiu led his men to disperse and look for the place where the woman disappeared.

He Chengwu first shone a flashlight on the tree, then touched it with his hand, making sure that this was the tree in Mangshan that could not be dug up. At this time, Yue Qiu ran over and said, "Mr. He, we found a cave entrance. A brother just went in to take a look and is about to climb in. There is no danger for the time being."

He Chengwu said without hesitation: "Let's go in first."

Yue Qiu quickly crawled in front, and when he heard the howling sound from behind, He Chengwu quickly pressed Yang Qiu's head to let her go in first. When everyone had gone in and only Shousheng and He Chengwu were left, He Chengwu nodded to Shousheng, and he was relieved when He Chengwu got into the cave.

Yue Qiu panted in front, "Mr. He, it's a little deep in the front."

The entrance of the cave was so narrow that only one person could pass through. The stone walls on all sides were close to the body. In such a depressing environment, everyone's movements became extremely slow and cautious. They had to crawl, using both hands and feet, and slowly move forward along the winding and uneven ground.

He Chengwu bit the flashlight. He paused for a moment, picked up the flashlight and shone it forward. He could only feel the breeze, and his elbows and palms were rubbed sore. He gritted his teeth and responded, "Keep going."

He Chengwu looked at his watch again. It was one in the morning. He held the flashlight in his mouth and continued to climb. After about half an hour, everyone was very tired. Yue Qiu said in surprise: "Mr. He, we are here."

He Chengwu's chest rose and fell with his deep breaths, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little. Yue Qiu's words were like a sweet rain in the desert, making everyone unconsciously speed up their crawling.

When He Chengwu finally struggled out of the narrow, dark, suffocating passage, he casually sat at the entrance of the cave, closed his eyes and breathed lightly. There was wind in the cave, and He Chengwu unconsciously looked in the direction of the wind. The wind blew softly on his face, and He Chengwu felt a little confused and lost.

Yue Qiu held up the flashlight high, and the flashlight emitted a blurry white light. Although it was not very clear, the weak wattage was enough to illuminate the situation at the moment. The geographical structure inside the volcano is surrounded by the magma chamber. It is the path that the magma takes from the magma chamber to the surface. It can be a vertical pipe or an inclined crack or fault.

This is a group of extinct volcanoes. He Chengwu could smell a faint smell of sulfur, which was brought by the wind. The wind inside was compressed by the narrow and complex rocks in the cave, and it was very comfortable to blow on his face. At this time, there was only one road in front of He Chengwu. He asked everyone to sit down and rest for a while, but he took a flashlight and walked forward a few steps to explore the road. Little girl Yang Qiu wet the towel and wiped her face casually. At this time, she called He Chengwu: "Brother Xiaowu."

The sound echoed here, and the crisp sound scared Yang Qiu herself. She quickly lowered her voice and said, "Brother Xiaowu, don't run around."

He Chengwu laughed and said, "I'll go over and take a look. It's right here."

Yang Qiu hummed: "Then don't run too far, I'll watch you."

He Chengwu's mind moved when he heard this, and he nodded with a smile. Apart from the "dog hole" they had just crawled in, they were at the entrance of a passage, and there was only one way to go.

Going forward, it was still an extremely steep downhill road. Just now it was also a downhill road outside, and it was still a downhill road here. He Chengwu bent his knees slightly and walked forward a few steps. When the flashlight was shone, it was still pitch black. He Chengwu felt that it was very deep inside and was a little hesitant whether to go in.

The flashlight swept across casually, and just when He Chengwu checked and was about to go back, the flashlight suddenly swept across a green area. He frowned. Can plants grow in here?

He Chengwu walked closer out of curiosity. This thing looked a bit like a giant spider growing in a crack in a rock. A bit like...

A bit like Selaginella.

This idea made He Chengwu's heart skip a beat. How could this thing appear here?

He was a little surprised for a moment, and just as he was about to approach, his feet slipped. He fell on his buttocks and began to slide down. He Chengwu groaned, and Yang Qiu suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Xiaowu!!"

The steep slope was very dangerous. He Chengwu admitted that he was not careful enough or cautious enough, but the Selaginella was Yang Taisui's life-saving medicine.

He Chengwu's body was still sliding down. Every protruding stone was like a sharp blade. He Chengwu's palms were covered with fine beads of sweat due to nervousness. He tried his best to use his fingertips to grab those gravel that seemed stable but could loosen at any time, leaving long and thin bloodstains.

But his feet were suddenly suspended in the air during the slide, and an ominous premonition came to his mind, but it was too late to react. His body lost support in an instant, as if being pulled by an invisible force, and He Chengwu fell into weightlessness. He instinctively wanted to grab something, but there was nothing to grab except those cold and sharp rocks around him. With a terrified cry that was quickly swallowed by the wind, he could only watch himself fall, and the world around him became blurred and distant in the rapid rotation.

But the next moment, he fell into someone's arms.

In a very ambiguous princess hug, he held the flashlight tightly in his hand, looking at the white hair and the eyes that had turned dark green due to the bad environment. He was momentarily absent-minded.

Oh, look what a big treasure my baby caught.
