Suddenly there was a "squeaky" mouse cry, and Xun Fei's sharp eyes saw a fat mouse running towards this side at a glance.

You can't hide in the tree in this place, Qiu Zhu looked around, and had a premonition that the snake would appear soon, so he pulled up Xun Fei and jumped to the top of a nearby big tree, as long as a snake climbed close to him can feel it.

As expected, soon there was a thick red flame snake rushing straight towards the fat mouse, and swallowed the mouse alive.

"Ah..." Xun Fei was about to exclaim, but quickly covered his mouth.

"Someone is training the Red Flame Snake." How could such a fat mouse have survived until now, and was swallowed by a nest of snakes early in the morning, unless someone released it in a fixed amount for the snakes to prey on.

Then a more spectacular scene appeared. In the grass on the ground, red flame snakes with various black and red patterns wandered around, some got into the water, some climbed on the tree trunks, spitting snake letters from time to time.

If they hadn't escaped in time, even if such a large group of snakes escaped, they would either die or be injured.

"Are we going to hide here forever?" Xun Fei couldn't sit still, but panicked when he looked at the Red Flame Snake below.

Qiu Zhu was extremely calm, holding Xun Fei's body with one hand, while comforting, "No, since someone has tamed them, they will not be allowed to be so lazy. They are just letting the wind go, and they will go back soon."

Sure enough, there was a strange sound of the flute, which was different from the ordinary snake flute, and even people felt a little dizzy when they played it.Qiu Zhu couldn't help but increase the strength in her hands and hugged Xun Fei tightly.

"So dizzy..." Xun Fei covered his ears, but it didn't help.

The Red Flame Snake wandered back quickly, and the red color faded instantly, leaving behind a piece of lifeless weed.

The two jumped, and when they landed, Qiu Zhu reached out and touched the other short knife behind his waist, which was often used for body protection.

"What did you blow just now? Why is my head so dizzy?" Xun Fei woke up in a trance. Fortunately, Qiu Zhu recovered quickly and stretched out his hand to support him, otherwise he would fall from the tree and become a red flame. The snake is on the plate.

"There is something wrong with the sound of the flute. It seems to be used to control the Red Flame Snake. With so many Red Flame Snakes, it is naturally not an ordinary flute." Xun Fei lacked skill. At the lowest point, I was in a daze, unable to react for a long time.

"It's really scary. There are so many snakes, but they obey a flute." Xun Fei let out a long sigh.

"Don't slack off. This is a snake den. Besides those snakes, there is also a very powerful snake master. If you go in rashly, be careful and become that big fat rat just now." Sure enough, Xun Fei immediately straightened up , stared wide-eyed, piercing.

Walking into the depths, there was a small hill standing in the middle of the mountain. As soon as he approached, a cold breath came over his face. When he walked into a cave, he didn't feel the movement of snakes nearby. It seemed that all the snakes had gathered in one place.

Leaving the weak sunlight, the place looks even darker. The uneven tree roots and stones under his feet make Xunfei often trip over, tightly holding on to Qiuzhu's arm, not daring to relax.

Qiu Zhu sensed that the strength on his arm was getting stronger and stronger, so he clenched that hand with his backhand, and strode forward.

The more they went in, the hotter and humid they turned around, as if they were trapped in a maze. They didn't stop until the path under their feet disappeared into a stone room.

"Gu..." That long and familiar sound, Xun Fei remembered it was the voice of the tortoise, but it disappeared again.

Leaving this empty stone room, looking for the sound just now, Qiu Zhu looked back at the road she had just walked, recalled it in her mind, and found that these roads were twists and turns, but they followed a certain method.

"Broken Star Array." Muttered, Xun Fei raised his eyes in bewilderment.

"It seems that this master snake master still understands the art of war." Qiu Zhu sneered, and led Xun Fei back. It is originally a method of deploying formations on the battlefield when fighting against foreign enemies, scattered but not gathered, like the stars in the sky, hidden in the chaos, it is difficult to find a breakthrough, and it is easy for the enemy to turn offense into defense."

"I understand. It's like you show me the astrology. People who don't understand can't see the difference between each star." Xun Fei looked around, but didn't find any connection with the astrology that Qiu Zhu showed him. .

He reached out and knocked on the stone wall beside him, and the echoes were all different. He walked a little further with Xun Fei, and heard a slight movement. When he walked back, the passage just now had turned into a wall.

"How did this happen? What should we do?" Xun Fei patted the solid stone wall, really wondering how such a large and heavy stone wall could easily be displaced.

"Don't be afraid, if you come, you will be safe." Seeing this, Qiu Zhu has no previous worries. Facing these mechanism formations, what worries him is the red flame snake that has no rules. "This kind of mechanism At most, it is used to scare people, to bang uninvited guests, making people think that they are in a ghost hitting a wall, if they really have the intention to deal with it, such a stone wall can't even trap mice."

"But the stone road is so changeable, how do we get out? Aren't we trapped to death?" Xun Fei wanted to push away the stone wall, but the stone wall was as stable as Mount Tai, motionless.

"It's not something that can be done in a short time to build such a large stone chamber. From the traces on it, I estimate that it took about a few decades. Someone used this place as the nest of the Red Flame Snake. , easy to defend but difficult to attack, a treasure land of geomantic omen." As she spoke, Qiu Zhu actually began to joke.

"Is there a mechanism? We must have touched something. It would be great if we knew the mechanism that can open the stone wall." Xun Fei squatted on the ground, thinking about it, quite distressed, "Unfortunately, there are stone walls and the ground all around. rocky ground, and nothing."

"The mechanism should be not far away. These stone walls think of each other, like the star-breaking formation, the enemy's gathering is used to form the enemy's retreat, and the enemy's retreat is used to form the gathering, but because of this, there are loopholes. As long as it is airtight, no matter how the stone wall moves, there is always a place where you can go out."

"But even if we go out and enter another 'Broken Star Formation' you mentioned, and we are led by the nose, it will be easy for the other party to kill us." Although what Qiu Zhu said is reasonable, but where is the exit? The owner of the stone room has the final say, and the whole stone room is like a well-behaved watchdog, recommending them to meet the owner along the way.

"That's not necessarily the case? Didn't you say that the stone wall will block the original road if we touch it. If we hit east and west, the original road will be opened, so we can go back the same way?" Such a simple method, But the authorities were obsessed, and Xun Fei suddenly realized.

Qiu Zhu tapped his head, "As long as your memory is good enough, you can go out the same way." He looked around, but compared the changes before and after the stone wall moved.

The stone wall is like a guard army, there are always fixed positions, and going back and forth is just a blindfold, as long as you find the direction in which the stone wall will move, the original stone path will naturally open.
