Chapter 299 Tufutu
The four of them were walking in the cave, unable to use the ground to perform magic. Only then did Li San realize that the road to the source was so long, and the journey was boring for him.
He is a talkative person. He talks while walking, talks in the shower and toilet, and even sometimes talks in his sleep when he falls asleep, and forgets everything as soon as he wakes up.
At this moment, he saw several people walking in silence, only Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu whispered to each other from time to time, and he couldn't stop talking.
After all, these people don't seem to be embarrassing him for the time being.
"Hey, speaking of it, since I came to this underground world, which is Wujian, I feel like I have traveled through time.
It's like a perfectly good person is fed a pill, but his life is turned upside down. When he opens his eyes, he arrives in a completely different place and experiences a series of adventures. Do you know this feeling? "
Yin Xiu shook his head, "I don't understand."
"Hey, it's normal that you don't understand. I guess you don't read comics very much. Unlike me, I wasted my youth."
Li San sighed and talked about his experience again.
"I didn't know there were so many dangers underground before. After all, there are no carriages running around here, and there aren't so many community members coming to collect protection fees from you. Everything is just rocks, right? As long as you leave people, of the danger will go away from you. As for other things?There isn't even a loach here, so where do these ferocious beasts come from?
But who knows?Here is a [landslide] for a while, and a mudslide or something like that for a while.
There are also some very inexplicable things. For example, when you are walking, there is a road in front of you and a road behind you, but when you turn around, the road you came from suddenly disappears. The front is fine, but the back becomes a dead end.
Although it sounds strange, if you walk underground a lot, you will always encounter these strange things.
We underground, instead of calling it a ghost hitting the wall, which is unlucky, we call it "lost". "
"Is it like now?" Ma Xiaoyu said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Xiu turned his head in surprise and saw a scene that made him unbelievable.
In the distance behind them, they saw the passage that was originally large enough for three people to pass side by side. The rock walls on both sides had suddenly narrowed, and one person had to turn sideways to pass.
Before they could speak, Ma Xiaoyu held the ruler and was about to move forward. Unexpectedly, Yin Xiu gently held her sharp-knuckled fingers.
Ma Xiaoyu turned around and saw Yin Xiu shaking her head, signaling her not to worry yet.
Chun Dai also approached Yin Xiu at this time and asked tentatively: "Did we remember it wrong, or took the wrong path?"
Yin Xiu shook his head, "It's possible for one person to have some kind of illusion, but with four people, it's absolutely impossible."
After a pause, he took off his gloves and pressed his hands on the rock wall, but he did not feel any change in the surrounding rock walls. They were still as cold, wet and hard as before.
"Use this."
Ma Xiaoyu took out the grapefruit leaves and handed two pieces to Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu took the leaf and rubbed it on her eyes, and her eyes suddenly became clear.
On the rock wall behind them, there were pitch-black shadows, exuding a trace of black energy.
Those were obviously not Qi Practitioners using earth magic, but evil spirits.
"Do you still have helpers?" Haruyo glanced at Li San.
Li San didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, he just thought he was [lost], so he just shook his head.
"It's okay, it will be fine after a while. When some Qi practitioners encounter this kind of situation, they just need to take a detour, or simply take a nap and eat something, and then the road will open by itself. No one will use this method. Aimed at others, right?”
Yin Xiu was not as relaxed as him, but stared straight ahead.
"Then have you ever heard of or encountered a situation where you get lost on both sides?"
Hearing this, Li San couldn't help but widen his eyes, and cold sweat broke out from the tip of his nose.
In front of them, they saw that the originally winding but still wide tunnel had shrunk, and was even narrower than the narrowed cave behind.
There, there were also several shadows emitting black energy.
Ma Xiaoyu was already close to Yin Xiu, their feet were touching and their backs were leaning against each other.
"When I was in Malaysia, I heard that there are chieftains of some indigenous tribes who can communicate with trees. As long as an enemy enters the forest, they can command the trees to move around and grow, trapping the enemy to death in the dense forest silently. among.”
Yin Xiu frowned, "I seem to have heard some strange stories told by some neighbors when chatting, but it is not a tree, but a stone. To be more precise, it is a mountain stone."
"Mountain stone?"
"Yes, and it's a moving rock. I think it looks more like a spirit."
"A spirit? A monster, I think."
Ma Xiaoyu took out the talisman paper, and there was a silver light in his eyes.
Yin Xiu asked: "Should we still use the method just now? I don't think it will work."
"I know!"
As she spoke, Ma Xiaoyu took a step forward, which was the Bagua Gang Step, and the talisman in her hand trembled in response. "The Dragon God decrees that the land will be used by Sun Xing to punish evil spirits!"
As Ma Xiaoyu threw out the talisman paper, a stream of earthy yellow air overflowed from the talisman paper and penetrated into the cave wall.
Then, the strands of khaki air flowed along the cave wall like a flowing river, gathered, and began to flow deeper.
Several people held their breath and looked at the rock wall.
In the rock wall, those dark shadows began to move, retreating and moving along the cave wall, seemingly avoiding the place where the mana flowed.
But the effect of Ma Xiaoyu's talisman was limited after all. After overflowing for a period of time, the yellow gas disappeared and everything returned to calm.
After the shadows were driven away for a certain distance, they began to gather again, and the number became more and more.
"Brother, look!" Li San screamed.
Yin Xiu heard the sound and looked around, and saw a vague shadow of a "person" suddenly appeared on the rock wall in front of them. It looked like an ordinary person, but its limbs looked like melted maltose. It was a little twisted, giving off a strange aura.
Those monsters hiding in the rock formations dared to come so close.
Taking a deep breath, before Li San could react, Yin Xiu had already taken the lead in attacking.
Since these guys don't look like they're here to say hello, it's always a good idea to beat them up yourself first! The sharp sound of breaking wind sounded, and Yin Xiu's figure brought up a series of afterimages, breaking the cave wall with one punch, five fingers like five sharp swords pierced into the position of the palm of the hand, and the gravel flew!
At the same time, a faint muffled sound came from within the rock wall.
Yin Xiu felt as if she had broken or crushed something, and there was a gentle vibration on her hand.
At this moment, the black shadow that was so close suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed. Only a layer of viscous liquid like quicksand was left on the rock wall, and a hole for one person.
The enemy ran away, but the opponent's "blood" seemed to flow down.
Yin Xiu carefully dipped her fingers into the pile of blood on the ground, activated [Blood Sense], and a series of information immediately appeared in her mind.
Host: Tufutu.
Skill: Loess Patrol.
[Loess Patrol]: Demonic secrete a unique liquid from the pores on their bodies, which can soften rock soil and provide lubrication, allowing them to travel through caves at high speeds, attack or escape, silently.
"Tubudu?"
Yin Xiu read the name again. He cared more about the monster's name than his skills.
Sure enough, these guys are not monks, but monsters.
Yin Xiu paused and took out the demon elimination manual he carried with him from his pocket. At this moment, the yellowed pages in the manual were slightly curled.
"You haven't finished reading yet!?" Ma Xiaoyu's eyes widened.
"The whole article is so ridiculous that it gives me a headache. I'm either fighting or on the way to a fight all day long. Wouldn't it be nice to read more comics in my spare time? And..."
Yin Xiu quickly turned the pages of the book, and the tadpole-like words flew across his fingertips like a comic strip.
"It's not too late to see now. These guys are slow-witted. They have been waiting for so long and will definitely be willing to wait for us again.
When we mechanical technicians are working, no matter how skilled we are, we must turn out the checklist and confirm it again before starting work. This is a good habit that has been accumulated by many people in our industry. "
"We are fighting for our lives right now, not working."
"They're all the same. I don't know how many times the machines in the factory have been used. They don't maintain them. If they break down, they repair them before using them. I don't know when they will explode or pieces of iron will fly out and stick in people's heads. , What’s the difference between working like this and risking one’s life?”
"..."
Ma Xiaoyu was speechless. Although he was puzzled by Yin Xiu's practice of sharpening his gun before the battle, what Yin Xiu said was true. These guys called Tufutu seemed to be just watching them from a distance at the moment, if they had "eyes".
When Yin Xiu took action just now, the other Tufutu seemed to have no intention of attacking or helping, and just watched from a distance.
Perhaps it was because the reaction and speed of these guys walking through the rocks were not that fast, so Yin Xiu was almost pulled out of the cave wall just now.
After flipping through the entire book, Yin Xiu finally found a few lines.
[Tufutu, the ghost in the stone, often appears as a human figure in the rock wall, but it is actually some kind of sticky, thick spirit with no facial features and is afraid of light and fire.
He is good at the art of traveling and escaping from the earth. Miners under deep mines often meet him in groups.
If it encounters a lone miner, Tufutu will surround him and eventually trap the miner to death and eat his flesh and blood.
Therefore, in some areas, miners often bring fire torches when going down the mine, on the one hand, for lighting, and on the other hand, to disperse the tufu. 】
"End?"
Yin Xiu flipped through a few more pages, nodded and said: "It's over, there are only so many records left by the ancestor."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were sounds like copper bells ringing from the surrounding rock walls, one after another, as if there was some signal spreading underground.
