planter of the future

The conversation between the two did not avoid Thomas and the others. When Ares asked the two of them with his eyes, Thomas expressed his opinion without hesitation.

"Of course I will go with Lord Thain!"

That's Ares Sion, is there anything safer than following him?

Akakin looked much calmer. He glanced at Ares, and the two of them exchanged the meaning in their eyes before they knew each other.After a while, Akakin nodded with a smile and said, "I am also together."

Ares withdrew his gaze and said, "In this case, after dinner, I will count the supplies."

"it is good."

After a simple lunch, the four of them moved separately. Thomas and Akakin went to catch fish and pick wild fruits and vegetables; An Yi and Ares stayed to deal with the horned python and count the supplies.

"That Akakin, what did you two look at just now, what do you mean?" An Yi stood aside, playing with the little spider Nemo gave him, and asked casually.

"Jealous?" Ares immediately turned his head, the corners of his mouth curled up.

An Yi laughed, and lightly kicked Ares's leg with her toe: "I'm serious with you."

Ares shrugged and said, "He probably knows about my abilities."

An Yi was surprised: "What's going on?"

Ares: "Although the An family's practice method is not perfect, there are still families that have been insisting on it. Among them, the Liu family is the best. In the nearly 300 years before I woke up, the Liu family helped the Yuanzu faction a lot. But five years before I woke up, they disappeared. Akakin is probably a member of the Liu family, and he noticed that the ability I used was wrong."

"That's right, but his attitude is a bit strange."

Ares sighed, and said: "The time before I woke up was the most radical stage of the Federal faction, and both the Liu family and the An family were involved. After I woke up, the initial state of my abilities was very bad. If I was exposed The consequences are very serious, so I can only stand on the sidelines, which led to the Liu family and the An family... But I heard that there is an ancestor in the Liu family who is the highest in this set of exercises, but I don't know where he is now .”

The Liu family helped the Yuanzu faction so much, but Ares failed to protect them.If Akajin is really a descendant of the Liu family, then he really has no resentment towards Ares at all?

An Yi's heart was inevitably heavy. He stepped forward and hugged Ares, and said, "These crimes were made by those people, not your fault."

"Yeah." Ares smiled, and went to work again.

An Yi stood aside, glanced at Akajin who was fishing in the distance, and looked away after a while.

He didn't intend to get into it, the current situation is special, it's better to pierce the cupping pot than temporarily use the window paper.

Several people took care of the supplies at four o'clock in the afternoon.An Yi put the things into the space one by one, and asked everyone to bring the rest with them, so as not to lose everything after being separated.

The horned python cave is located ten meters high on the cliff, and Akakin and Ares each carried one on their backs, and they reached the cave easily.

"Huh?" An Yi looked at the cave in front of him, and couldn't help being surprised.

This cave is very similar to the one they stayed in before. It is very shallow, and the afternoon sun can still illuminate the bottom of the cave. It doesn't look like a horned python's nest - it is estimated that only one-third of the horned python can be coiled.

"Wait a minute." Ares finished and walked to the end of the cave.Xuan Lang Yan Lun Tan put his hand on the stone wall, several streaks of frost spread out like spider webs, and penetrated into the cracks of the stone wall. After a while, the frost expanded, and the rock made a "crack" sound as it contracted rapidly due to freezing.

When it was almost done, Ares reached out and patted the stone wall, and the stone wall shattered.A deep cave was revealed.

"You guys sealed this up?" An Yi understood.

"Well. When hunting, leave you two worried." Ares replied.

An Yi's heart warmed, she smiled and said nothing.

"Let's go." Ares said, and walked into the cave first.

The horned python has a very large cave - you can tell by the shape of the horned python.However, the size of this section is just enough for the horned python to enter and exit without being able to lift or fold its body.There should be more space inside.

The cave is damp, and the ground is compacted and polished so smooth that not even a single weed can be seen.

After walking meanderingly for about half an hour, there was a fishy smell in the air.After walking for another ten minutes, a huge cave space appeared in front of my eyes.

The cave was empty, and a lot of mud-like things were piled up here and there. There were four or five holes around them, which were about the same size as the one they came in.

"Is this the horned python's lair?" Thomas was a little nervous, the cold light in his hand kept shaking, and it was Thomas who was trembling.

"This is just a toilet." Akakin pointed to the ground and said, "These are the feces of horned pythons."

An Yi followed the light and frowned suddenly—the "mud" was a brown sticky substance, and it was vaguely discernible that there were some animal fur and bones in it.

"It's disgusting!" Thomas retched immediately, thinking that he was standing in the pit of the beast, he was going crazy: "Let's get out of here quickly."

"But where are we going?" An Yi looked at the surrounding openings, and finally focused on Akajin.

Among the four, Akakin, who had been a mercenary for many years, was the one with the most combat experience—he was also the one who mentioned the use of this cave just now.

Akakin shrugged and said, "Find the newest cave entrance with the most traces. The horned python has the habit of changing the cave exit regularly, and some old exits will be destroyed by themselves. For example, the cave we stayed in before."

"The cave before us..." An Yi didn't know what to say.

It was Thomas who frowned: "What! Akakin, why didn't you tell me, my God, I actually stayed in the horned python's cave for so long! What if it suddenly opened the cave again?"

"The horned python destroys the exit by collapsing, and it's not easy to open it again. Thomas, you should make up for the fierce beast course, you are too biased!"

As soon as the subject was mentioned, Thomas immediately raised his head to avoid it, waved his hand to send Akajin away and said, "Got it, I will. You should find the way."

Akakin looked at him helplessly, shook his head and left.

An Yi heard some signs, turned to Thomas and asked, "Have you known each other for a long time?"

Thomas nodded: "We grew up together."

An Yi blinked, recalled how the two of them got along with each other in the past few days, and said sincerely: "...I really can't tell."

Thomas coughed lightly and didn't explain anything.

Akakin quickly found the way, turned his head and said to the others: "There are two ways, which one do you think you should take?"

There is a hole between the two holes, and the direction is completely different.

This time, all eyes were on Ares.

Ares pointed to the one on the right and said, "This one. It's near the edge of the forest."

The others were stunned, and without hesitation, the group entered the cave again.

This time, the cave passage was even more humid than the previous one, and the moisture in the air wet the clothes, making people feel very uncomfortable.

The little spider in An Yi's pocket also got out and lay on his shoulder, shaking from side to side from time to time.

Ten minutes later, the ground of the cave became uneven, and many plant roots emerged from the soil, and there were a lot more insects and ants.

"This is a newly opened cave. It seems that we are lucky." Akakin raised his eyebrows, and at the same time drew his mechanical spiritual weapon - the great sword from his back.

Ares also became alert, and they couldn't help slowing down.

However, after walking for more than an hour, they didn't touch anything.

"We won't be unable to get out all the time, right?" Thomas couldn't take it anymore. The cramped and dark environment and endless roads tortured his nerves all the time.

If it weren't for the "spiritual pillar" of Ares, Thomas might have collapsed long ago.

"I feel something is wrong." An Yi tilted her head, instead of looking around, she was listening attentively.

In An Yi's mind, there is a thin line in his mental map, with small arcs beating, but each arc is sharp.An Yi already understood that such a sharp arc represented danger, and the size of the arc represented the degree of danger.

"What did you hear?" Ares had already had some guesses about An Yi's "danger prediction" ability, and when he saw it, he asked softly.

An Yi frowned and said: "There are some small noises. They have been following us, but they are not serious enough to threaten life. I don't know what they are."

"An, An Yi, don't scare me." Thomas was about to cry.

"Uh." An Yi was at a loss for words. If he wanted to say "what I said is true", it is estimated that Thomas would cry immediately.

At this moment, Ares raised his hand and made a stop gesture.

Seeing this, the other three immediately fell silent, and Thomas even covered his mouth with his hands.

Ares stood still for a while, then turned around suddenly, and punched out on the cave wall.His fist was wrapped in ice, like a giant hammer. With a "bang", the cave wall shattered in response, and behind the cracked hole was a hollow, and several black shadows flashed past.

But Ares' reaction was faster. With a turn of his palm, the ice cubes melted away in an instant, and a ray of flame rose from the icy water, pulling out a long strand, like an arrow shooting out of the string.

"grumble!"

A tragic hiss sounded, and at the same time there was a smell of blood.

"What's that?" Thomas' hairs stood on end, the size of the black shadow was obviously not a horned python.

No one answered, Ares directly kicked open the hole he smashed, and the surrounding soil clods collapsed, revealing a neat circle—it turned out that this was originally a hole, but it was blocked with mud in the middle.

Several people walked over, and at a glance, they saw a flame burning not far to the left.

It was a mouse, the size of an adult dog, covered in pitch-black fur; its body was pierced by flames, its flesh was scorched, and only a small amount of blood flowed out, and a cluster of flames was still jumping on the flesh at the edge of the wound.

Its limbs twitched slightly, and its eyes rolled, staring at Ares viciously.But after a few seconds, those eyes lost their luster and were completely dead.
