My host is cold and scumbag

He Chengwu was shouting anxiously below at this time, and Yang Qiu suddenly shouted: "Brother Xiaowu, I'm about to jump, catch me."

He Chengwu reacted quickly, opened his arms, and caught Yang Qiu safely. He asked what happened.

People jumped down one after another. Yang Qiu explained succinctly: "A lot of skinny human-like things appeared above. They jumped on people when they saw them. Brother Shousheng is covering the rear. Now they all have to come down."

He Chengwu looked at the brothers who were coming down one after another, raised his head and looked up, and shouted: "Brother Shousheng!!"

"You go first." Shousheng said from above.

He Chengwu looked at the people crowded together, thought for a moment and said, "Come down and walk to the left. We will wait for you in front."

"it is good."

He Chengwu hurriedly led the people away, dragging the twitching corpse away. He wanted to see what happened to these people. He Chengwu did not walk far, but walked to a relatively safe corner and stopped to check on the man.

He quickly squatted down and turned over the man's limp body on the ground. His face was now a shocking purple color. He stretched out his fingers and touched the man's strangely swollen throat. His fingertips felt the unnatural bulge and heat under the skin. The Adam's apple was almost unrecognizable, as if something was swelling inside, but it was obvious that the man was dead.

Thinking of the experience in Mangshan, he quickly shouted: "Cover your mouth and nose!"

The brothers who had experienced it instantly understood what He Chengwu meant. The horror of suffocation made everyone panic. They covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs and clothes just in case.

He Chengwu tore off a piece of his clothes, gave it to Yang Qiu, and covered his mouth with it.

But He Chengwu was not sure whether he had been hit or not, and whether it was too late to make up for it now. But since it had come to this, he could only make amends first. He Chengwu and his men waited there for a while. Shousheng hurried over. He Chengwu looked at him, and without stopping for a moment, he ran straight forward.

As they ran, their footsteps echoed with dull sounds in the narrow and winding cave. Every step seemed to be a race against time and a contest with the unknown. Suddenly, the road ahead became clear. They seemed to have crossed an invisible boundary and rushed out of the oppressive darkness into a vast and empty land. At that moment, the air seemed to have become a little fresher, with a sense of long-lost freedom and joy.

The light of the flashlight flickered in the open space, the beam of light cut through the darkness, revealing the surrounding scenes one by one. The surroundings were undulating rocks, carved into various shapes by time, the light bounced on the surface of the rocks, reflecting a little light, adding a bit of mystery and fantasy to this dark space.

But they reached the end again.

But the treetops that suddenly came into view made He Chengwu and others involuntarily freeze in place for a moment. It was a feeling that was both familiar and somewhat inexplicably strange.

How to describe this tree crown? It grows miraculously in the narrow and rugged cracks of the stone wall, and it has carved out a space in the extremely hard stone wall. It grows luxuriantly, showing its tenacious vitality and endless vitality.

The light of the flashlight penetrated the darkness and shone on the leaves. The dark green color seemed even deeper under the light, as if each leaf contained endless stories and the accumulation of years. The branches and leaves of the treetops were stacked one after another, swaying in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if they were whispering.

What shocked He Chengwu even more was that the flowers on this tree were blooming densely. Red, like roses, like...

Like the one in his pocket...

His heart was inexplicably shocked, and he was unable to describe the feeling he had when he saw the tree canopy.

Shousheng stepped forward, and He Chengwu hurriedly said, "Brother Shousheng, pollen."

Shousheng didn't say anything, but walked to the root of the tree to check. He squatted at the root, the wind in the gap blew his hair apart, revealing his sharp eyebrows. He looked calm, turned his head and said to He Chengwu: "We drank blood."

At this point, Yang Qiu suddenly reacted. He Chengwu immediately understood what Shousheng said. He hurriedly supported Yang Qiu. Yang Qiu's face suddenly turned red. He Chengwu hugged Yang Qiu in panic: "Xiao Qiu, what's wrong with you..."

Yang Qiu started coughing violently. He Chengwu quickly looked up and asked Shousheng, "What should we do? Xiao Si is not here."

Shousheng frowned, staring at Yang Qiu who was lying on the ground with worried eyes, but he was helpless for a moment.

At this moment, a series of strange rustling sounds unexpectedly emanated from the originally silent stone wall. The sound was fragmented and rapid, as if some unknown existence was ready to move behind the stone wall. Then, a sudden scream pierced the tense and solemn atmosphere, sharp and piercing, making people's hearts tremble violently.

Just as the screams were still lingering, a figure suddenly fell from the top of the stone wall like a meteorite, and hit the place where a group of brothers were gathered behind Yue Qiu. People and horses fell to the ground in chaos.

He Chengwu was so frightened by this incident that he hugged Yang Qiu tightly, but Yue Qiu exclaimed: "He Shao, it's the Fourth Young Master."

He Chengwu straightened up when he heard this. Seeing Yang Taisui grimacing, holding his waist and twisting his body in pain, without thinking, he hugged Yang Qiu and cut Yang Taisui's hand. The blood seeped into Yang Qiu's dry lips.

Suddenly, he sat cross-legged on the ground as if exhausted.

As the saying goes, Yang Taisui fell from the sky. This was too much of a coincidence. He Chengwu stared at Yang Taisui who was surrounded and taken care of by Yue Qiu, and said in a muffled voice: "What's wrong with you?"

Yang Taisui was holding back his anger: "Damn, what the hell are those things in here? They all look like ghosts."

He Chengwu quickly asked Yang Taisui to tell him what he had experienced. Yang Taisui drank a sip of water, and when he found his team, his spirits suddenly perked up, and he began to talk and curse.

After walking in the cave with the old man for a long time, Yang Taisui would go to talk to the old man from time to time, but the old man was very smart and said nothing. Then, they met the Di Yu. This Di Yu was really cunning. At that time, Yang Taisui didn't know how to avoid this thing, and in a hurry he was pushed directly over by the old man. The thing rolled Yang Taisui away.

Yang Taisui screamed like a ghost but somehow in the end, the thing let Yang Taisui go and brushed past Yang Taisui and dragged the old man out. The old man grabbed Yang Taisui and begged him.

Yang Taisui wanted to say that he deserved it, but the old man said that he could tell him what happened here. Yang Taisui then took a knife, chased Di Yu and stabbed Di Yu a few times. After the old man was rescued, he began to tell the story tremblingly.

It turns out that there is a legend in the primitive tribe that a female monster is imprisoned here and cannot leave the underground. However, while she was imprisoned here, she used some unknown method to trick some people into doing things for her and created a small tribe belonging to her.

She cannot come out in person, but her invisible yet omnipresent power nourishes everyone who reveres her and prays to her like a sweet rain.

Those believers who are blessed by her have a life span beyond that of ordinary people. The years have left very little trace on them, and even the elderly still maintain amazing vitality and spirit. What is even more amazing is that these blessed people rarely get sick, and even if they occasionally have a minor illness, they can recover quickly, as if some mysterious power is silently protecting them.

As time went by, the legend of this female demon became widely spread among the people and gradually evolved into a series of fantastic stories. People began to believe that this seemingly untouchable female demon was actually a goddess who lived in seclusion in the mortal world and did not care about worldly affairs.

But she couldn't get out, and no one else could get in, and those who got in generally had no chance to get out again. But that didn't stop people from outside from admiring the female demon. They offered gold, silver, jewelry, and handsome men, and the female demon accepted them all.

But the glorious era of this female monster did not last long. The volcano erupted, and the tribe stationed outside disappeared overnight, and even the legendary female monster was never heard of again. The old man was the descendant who survived that ordeal.

Not much information was left to the old man. He knew that there was a bell in the back mountain of his village. In fact, the meaning of the bell's sound could not be explained until now. He only knew that he was only eighteen years old that year, and he boldly and playfully explored the area, met the woman, and reached a deal. By the way, he learned that there was an conservative tribe guarding nearby.

He spent his entire life dealing with the people of that tribe, and whether it was supplies or medical means, they were all his capital for communication with that tribe. And the fault line of this tribe was even more serious.

They only knew that they had to guard this place, protect the things in the cave, and refuse all outsiders from approaching.

When Yang Taisui heard this, he asked, "So what exactly are you after?"

The old man was dragged all the way, his flesh and blood were almost blurred. He probably wanted to live too much, and he could only rely on Yang Taisui in his current situation, so he spoke tremblingly: "That woman has a herb in her hand, which is the medicine that can make people healthy and long-lived."

When Yang Taisui heard this, his eyes widened.

It was really hard for him not to think about the stuff he ate every month.

"But it's very difficult to store that thing. You have to use a container made of those things to take it out. And you have to keep eating it." The old man said, even at this time, he was still greedy for this thing: "I don't want to come in, but they asked me to take you in, I can't refuse, so I thought, if I find the location of that herb, then... maybe I can..."

Before the old man could finish his words, Di Yu appeared again, this time carrying Yang Taisui and the old man together.

Yang Taisui fell into He Chengwu's arms, but Yang Taisui didn't know what happened to that old man.

Yang Taisui covered his head and said, "That clock is really annoying. It makes my ears hurt. When it rings, that thing comes out. And it has to come out. Once it comes out, it doesn't make any sense at all."

He Chengwu looked at Yang Taisui like a fool. What was he thinking when he tried to reason with that thing?

Then He Chengwu began to organize: "You mean, this old man wants a herb, and this herb must be in a specific container before it can be taken out?"

Yang Taisui nodded: "That's probably what it means. It's similar to what I eat every month."

He Chengwu suddenly understood: "No wonder..."

But he suddenly looked at Yang Taisui in confusion: "But how did you happen to fall here by chance?"

Yang Taisui was annoyed: "How should I know?"

Yang Qiu took a long time to calm down. She cleared her throat and said, "Your body should be marinated with Selaginella."

Yang Taisui has been using that thing to keep himself alive for more than ten years. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has been marinated. Yang Taisui looked around and said, "What is going on with you? I tell you, Xu Kun's people must have come in as well. You better be careful."

He Chengwu thought that the person coming in might not be related to us. Thinking of this, he began to worry again: "Have you...have you seen her..."

Yang Taisui frowned in confusion, looked around, and said cautiously: "She disappeared again?"

This "again" made He Chengwu inexplicably depressed. At this time, a faint call sounded.

"Mr. He... He Chengwu... cough cough cough..."

He Chengwu frowned as he heard the faint sound. Shousheng was very close to the treetops. He leaned close to He Chengwu's ear again and said, "Down here."

"I am Huang Yan..."

He Chengwu weakly introduced himself and quickly stood up and looked down the crack in the stone wall. There was someone hanging in the sparse branches. He Chengwu thought about it and decided to rescue the person.

Huang Yan was about the same number as his men at the time, and only two or three people were pulled up this time.

He Chengwu checked the news with Huang Yan again. Huang Yan had a gas mask. He said, "I found those people at the corner of the cave entrance a long time ago. I thought it should be similar to Mangshan, but there were fifteen people there at the time, so we were not affected."

He Chengwu splashed some blood on Huang Yan, who then lay on the ground with a bitter smile: "I was too arrogant."

He Chengwu asked about Huang Yan's experience.

Huang Yan was too brave, he still felt that there was something strange about the trap, so he went down, and after walking for a long time in the mountain corridor, they met the woman, the so-called blind woman in ragged red clothes.

The team experience of each branch began to slowly integrate.

Huang Yan said slowly: "That woman was crazy. She smiled and said she knew why they came and where they were. Then she ran away, so we chased her."

"The sound of the bell is really strange, and later we discovered some patterns. The ground jade appears after the bell. If you can find a hidden place, it's easy to hide. Once you get out, they must take something away before they stop."

Huang Yan said very briefly: "The wind gets stronger the further you go in, but the wind is weak here, you've noticed."

Yes, in the cave of this tree canopy, only the wind under the tree canopy overflows, but the gaps between the stone walls are not wide, and the wind in the cave is not as strong as in the corridor.

Huang Yan sneered, "I lost that woman. But Di Yu will appear again. We were dragged down and were lucky enough to get caught up there."

Jade is everywhere in the ground. This place seems to be their paradise.

He Chengwu's team suffered no casualties, but others did not seem to be so lucky.
