Chapter 70
Inside the stone gate is a room-like cavern completely made of blue bricks. In the middle of the cavern, near the wall, there is a large stalagmite nearly three meters high. There appears to be something hidden at the top.

"There seems to be something on the top!" Zhang Furong pointed to the top of the stalagmite and said to Qin Hong.

"Sister, look, there is an iron ladder at the corner of the door. Let's move it over and put it next to the stalagmite. I'll climb up to have a look." Qin Hong walked over with Zhang Furong after speaking, and moved the iron ladder to set it up. .Zhang Furong stabilized the iron ladder on one side. Qin Hong tested the firmness of the bracket with his hands first, then raised his feet and climbed up step by step.

"Be careful, brother." Zhang Furong said with concern from below.

Qin Hong turned his head down and winked at her, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister!"

Soon, he climbed up to the top, reached out his hand to take down the object, held it in front of his eyes, looked at it for a while, and said, "Well, this seems to be... It seems to be a map of the cave, and it looks quite complicated!" Qin Hong said, while Climb down the iron ladder.He brought the map in front of Zhang Furong, and the two of them stared at the faint blue light from the luminous stones all over the floor.Let's go into details together.

"Brother, look!" Zhang Furong suddenly realized something, "According to the mark on the map, push away the brown fake closet in the corner, there should be an area behind!"

"Yes, sister, you are really smart!" Qin Hong praised her sincerely.

So the two of them pushed open the fake cabinet together, and they found that behind it was another cave with a duplex structure with walls all made of red bricks. You could see that there were also many fists soaked in hot springs in the cave. Big glowing pebbles.

Without hesitation, Qin Hong rushed forward and let Zhang Furong follow behind.

They entered the cave, and just after a few steps, there was a strange "hissing" sound. From the hot spring water seven or eight meters away from the side, a red strange lizard the size of a baby crawled up unexpectedly, and it hissed. Unexpectedly, he swooped up and opened his bloody mouth——

"Oh!" Zhang Furong screamed in fright!
Facing the cold-blooded beast that was rushing towards him, the unarmed Qin Hong felt nervous.But the innate calm kept his mind from flustering. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the ancient magic formula was silently recited in his mind. As a result, his left foot rested on the violently vibrating magic ring. Under the traction, he swung extremely quickly and kicked a glowing round pebble on the ground!

"Pong-"

I saw a blue light rising from the ground whistling and rushing out, and shot into the wide open mouth of the vicious red monitor lizard. There was a tumbling in the hot spring water, and soon it became silent!
Zhang Furong held Qin Hong's hand tightly, and sweat leaked from her palm. She trembled slightly and shouted: "This place is too scary, let's leave now!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud rumbling sound behind her. The second stone door when they just entered was suddenly closed for some reason!

Zhang Furong shouted anxiously: "Oh, we can't get out!"

"Don't be afraid, sister, I just saw that there are other exits marked on the map." Qin Hong squeezed Zhang Furong's little hand and said, "If you come here, you will be safe. Let's take a look from the stone steps first."

"Well, I'll listen to you..." Zhang Furong, who was already a bit confused, nodded, and forced herself to calm down again.

Walking up the stone steps, I found that there was a long corridor in front of me. The ground was also covered with glowing pebbles, but there was no water.The door of the first grotto on the right was open. They walked in and saw a small vase on the stone table facing the door. Next to the vase was a "small key" and a small packet of medicinal powder. They thought it might be useful. , Qin Hong put the small key into his trouser pocket.

suddenly--

"what--"

Standing behind Zhang Furong let out a horrifying scream...

I saw——, at the corner of the wall three meters away from the side, a ferocious blood lizard was slowly crawling up!

Facing the cold-blooded monster that suddenly appeared, Qin Hong reacted swiftly. He had silently recited a spell in an instant, and then kicked out a pebble so quickly.

"Pfft!" The flying stone was accurately shot into the blood lizard's open mouth.The guy who came here with his mouth open and neighing non-stop, got stuck in his throat after eating this flying stone, and couldn't scream immediately.It wobbled and retreated two steps, then fell to the ground and rolled over with its claws and teeth bared.

"You are awesome, brother!" Seeing his bravery, Zhang Furong couldn't help applauding loudly.

A strange hiss came from behind, and she turned her head instinctively——

Zhang Furong saw an ugly blood lizard three meters behind her.As it opened its bloody mouth, her legs softened in fright, and she lay down on the ground. Out of the subconsciousness of self-protection, she fell on her side slightly, while the lizard rushed towards her like a shadow, her mouth and nose The stench emanating from her chest made her dizzy for a while, as if those sharp teeth were about to pierce her tender neck on one side!

Zhang Furong felt that she was about to be bitten by the canine teeth of this cold-blooded animal. She closed her eyes tightly and screamed in despair. Then, she heard a "pong--" sound in her ears.

At this moment, the blood lizard behind her suddenly tilted to one side, Zhang Furong felt her hand being grabbed and her body being pulled up.She threw herself into the arms of young Qin Hong, trembling all over.

"It's okay, sister..." Qin Hong's voice came to his ears, "It frightened you." After Qin Hong finished speaking, he pulled her out of the grotto, and came to the middle of the aisle scattered with cobble-shaped luminous stones.Most of the grottoes on both sides have closed stone doors, and the twenty-meter-long corridor looks very gloomy due to the dim light.

They had just taken a few steps forward cautiously, when a stone door five or six meters ahead suddenly opened slowly, and a pointed-headed, crocodile-shaped shadow appeared at the door, staggering towards this side. crawl.

The huge "hissing, hissing" jet sound accompanied by the chaotic crawling sound made a chill rise in the small space!Following the sound of "hiss - hiss", another large pale lizard with red eyes turned out from the stone door in front. Both lizards stared at the expressionless blood red eyes and swayed to this side Climb!

"Ah—" The scream of the woman and the sound of the pebbles being kicked by the magic foot almost rang out at the same place, "Pang—" The first red lizard in front was hit on the head by the flying back and fell to the side. The pale white lizard rushed over as if going crazy!
"Pong!" Another flying stone kicked out by the magic foot smashed the lizard's head, splashing a rain of blood, and the cold-blooded animal also fell to the ground with a "plop".

There was an intuition that made Qin Hong turn around suddenly——

I saw two large blood bats hanging upside down above the stone steps to the upstairs. They stared at their little red eyes, swinging in the air, as if they would come here at any time!

"It's the best way to strike first!" Qin Hong secretly chanted a magic spell while his mind was turning.

"Squeak—" With a cry, the blood bat on the left suddenly screamed impatiently and swooped down at an extremely fast speed!

"Pong—" The magic foot kicked the luminous pebbles under its feet, making a noise, and then the swooping bat also spun and fell to the ground. "Squeak—" Another blood bat swooped down defiantly the moment Qin Hong raised his foot and kicked another cobblestone!
"Pong—" Qin Hong's movements were a step slower, and this time the pebbles flew out!

With a "poof", the blood bat stabbed its head on the outside of Zhang Furong's neck, its sharp teeth pierced through her delicate skin, and began to suck her blood!
"Oops—" she screamed in pain, and at the same time, a powerful hand stretched out from the side without hesitation, tightly pinched the blood bat's small neck below its mouth, and forced it to loosen its teeth.I saw Qin Honglun raised his arm, lifted the captured blood bat high, and threw it to the ground with a "slap", the guy was bloody and bloody immediately!
"I was bitten by it, it hurts so much!" Zhang Furong stretched out her hand to cover her neck, almost crying.

"Let me see!" Qin Hong said, and took away her hand covering her neck, and he couldn't help taking a breath when he looked at it!I saw two rows of small red tooth marks on her pink neck where she was bitten by a blood bat, and Yu Zi appeared around the tooth marks, obviously she was poisoned!
"Sister, you seem to have been poisoned..." He said in a somewhat heavy tone.

"Then, what should we do then?" Zhang Furong looked into his eyes in horror and asked anxiously.

"We need to find the exit as soon as possible. I think there are dangers here every step of the way. Don't be afraid, there will be a way to treat him after we go out!" Qin Hong said decisively, then pulled Zhang Furong and turned around to walk deep into the corridor.

"Look, the door to the grotto on the right at the end is open, let's walk there carefully and go in and have a look." Qin Hong squeezed Zhang Furong's hand vigorously while speaking, which made her suddenly turn again. With courage, they walked cautiously into the grotto.

There are some writings and patterns engraved on the stone table in the middle of this grotto. Qin Hong observed it for a while, and immediately said with a bright light in his eyes: "It turned out to be Italian!".

Just listen to him read slowly "Special plants...pharmacological effects..."

Seeing his dignified expression, Zhang Furong hurriedly came over and stood aside. She admired the young Qin Hong for knowing Italian, but she didn't think about the reason.

Qin Hong's face gradually showed excitement.

"What do these writings say?" Zhang Furong asked curiously.

"It says that there is a natural plant growing in this tomb, which can be used together with a hot spring pool here to detoxify." Qin Hong looked at her and said excitedly, "Sister, this is great!"

"Yes, yes, let's go find that plant!" Zhang Furong said, and couldn't wait to pull Qin Hong's arm and turn around...

"Hiss—!" A strange sound of exhaling seemed to be right next to him.

"Be careful!" Qin Hong yelled suddenly, quickly reached out to pick up the candlestick on the table, and inserted it into the blood lizard's big mouth.

At the same time, with a sound of "Tearing——", the clothes on Zhang Furong's back were torn apart by two sharp claws. As she screamed, a bloodstain appeared on the back of her tender neck!
"Pong!"

This time, Qin Hong's magic foot directly kicked the blood lizard that attacked Zhang Furong away like a ball, slapped it on the opposite wall, and passed out.

"How are you?" Qin Hong asked with concern while supporting Zhang Furong's fragrant shoulders. "I...my back hurts..." Zhang Furong was about to cry as she spoke.

"We must find the herb that can detoxify as soon as possible!" After Qin Hong finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to hold her tightly and rushed to the aisle.

There was a turn to the right at the end of the passage, and they ran to it, only to find that there were stone steps leading down.The two continued to run down the stone steps. While running, Qin Hong suddenly found a palm-sized, green jagged leaf-shaped plant growing on one side of the clay wall. Same as described above.He couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly reached out and pulled it out and put it in his pocket.

Going down the steps, Qin Hong found that this was another larger cave, and the ground was still covered with glowing pebbles.A hissing sound raised their vigilance.Qin Hong followed the prestige and saw two larger blood lizards waddling, crawling and shaking in the middle of the grotto.Soon, the two cold-blooded animals found the two people who had just arrived, and immediately approached here with greedy bloody eyes...

"Pong!" One of the big lizards was hit on the head by the flying stone kicked out by the magic foot, and lay down on the ground, while the other suddenly rolled over madly.

"Pong!" Another lightning-like flying stone kicked out by the magic foot accurately shot into the open mouth of this cold-blooded animal. The blood lizard got stuck in its throat and fell to one side, rolling all over the ground.

After the two blood lizards were shot, the surrounding environment became quiet.

Qin Hong and Zhang Furong began to inspect this huge grotto carefully, and found that there was a mottled solid wood door on one side of the grotto.Qin Hong gently pushed open the solid wooden door, and saw a steaming pool two meters square inside.There is a small stone bed on one side of the pool, and a white long stone table on the other side, with some small bottles and jars on the table.

"Sister, does this look like the infirmary where you work?" The young Qin Hong couldn't hide his surprise and said.

Zhang Furong was amazed, and replied: "It's really similar."

Suddenly awakened, Qin Hong said: "Hey, that steaming pool should be the geocentric hot spring recorded on the stone table!"

So he turned back and locked the door, and came to the pool.Qin Hong squatted down, stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the pool water, and said, "It should be correct, the water temperature is between [-] and [-] degrees."

The clear hot spring water made Zhang Furong feel excited, how she hoped that the hot spring water mixed with magical herbs could really remove the poison in her body!

However, even though Qin Hong kept calling him sister, she still felt a little inconvenient when she went into the water in front of him.

How smart is Qin Hong?He had already guessed Zhang Furong's thoughts, so he turned around, sat on the stone bed with his back to Zhang Furong by the hot spring pool, and said, "Sister, I have already given you that magical herb." , you hurry down to the hot spring pool and use it to detoxify, I'll watch the door for you from here."

Zhang Furong finally took off her coat and quickly went down into the pool.

The faint steam rising from the surface of the hot spring surrounded her like a dream, making her feel indescribably comfortable.In this indescribable physical and mental joy, she put the herb just now into her mouth, and immediately felt a coolness spread throughout her mouth, she couldn't help chewing and swallowing the herb lightly.Not long after, Zhang Furong felt extremely comfortable all over her body. It turned out that the poison she had been bitten by the blood lizard had been unknowingly removed.

Finally, Qin Hong and Zhang Furong walked out of the medical room.

The two of them continued to walk around the big grotto while observing carefully, only feeling that the surrounding atmosphere was gloomy, which made Zhang Furong unconsciously lean on Qin Hong's shoulder.

Before they knew it, the two of them walked around the big grotto again.

Zhang Furong, who has eyes and ears, first made a new discovery. She said: "There is a hidden stone gate over there. Do we need to go and have a look?" came from the side.

"Something's wrong!" Qin Hong frowned, and kept on guard while talking...

I saw another big blood lizard crawling towards this side shaking its head. The moment it opened its mouth wide to the two of them, Qin Hong activated the power of the magic toe ring and kicked out a luminous The pebble was shot into the mouth of the blood-red lizard so accurately, it made it fall to the ground and twitched for a while, then remained still.

Then, the two finally arrived at the elongated grotto with the door concealed. They first saw a "cabinet-shaped key" hanging on the farthest wall.

"Hey, what's that?" Qin Hong said while thinking about going over to get it.Sudden--

With a "huh", a tangled tree vine attacked him from the corner of the wall!
It turned out that in a small pool in the corner, there was a strange plant that looked like a living creature, and it kept waving its branches like spirit snakes.

"Brother, be careful!" Zhang Furong shouted in surprise.Qin Hong deftly dodged the attack, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly thought of the bag of medicine powder he got earlier.So he had an idea and poured the powder into the pool.Standing far away, watching the changes intently...

The medicinal powder was sprinkled into the pool, and the color of the pool water gradually became darker.Soon, the water turned completely black, and at this time the strange aggressive plant withered.

"It's really amazing!" Qin Hong said as he walked over to take the "cabinet-shaped key".

"Look quickly, brother," Zhang Furong said, "there is still that magical detoxifying herb growing here."

"Great, with these medicinal herbs, we won't be afraid of getting hurt..." Qin Hong said excitedly, walked over and pulled out the medicinal herbs, and handed them to Zhang Furong for safekeeping.

They just came out of this room when they heard a scream from the side!
"Oh, big mouse!" Following Zhang Furong's terrified cry, a strange big mouse that was the size of a rabbit, covered in blood and fur, with a distorted head and face was staring at this side covetously!
