Copper Coins

He subconsciously froze for a moment, straightened up abruptly, and pulled Xuan Min's hand that was resting on the stone wall in front of him.

This was probably the first time he experienced what it means to be cautious, although he knew very well that Xuan Min was different from ordinary people, nor was his body made of paper, so he wouldn't fall apart with a little effort.

The back of Xuan Min's hand was scratched by the sharp stone wall in several places, some were pierced deeply, and some were just scratched the skin, but all kinds of them were quite shocking at first glance, and the blood quickly covered half of the back of his hand.

It's not that Xue Xian has never seen blood. He has seen wounds thousands of times worse than this, and even suffered them himself. However, when he saw Xuan Min's fine wounds on the back of his hand, he still felt numb in his heart. Yes, somewhat uncomfortable.

When he first met Xuan Min, the past that took the initiative to trip him up and cause trouble seemed to have become a matter of his previous life, and he almost couldn't even remember it.

"It doesn't matter." Xuan Min happened to be a person who didn't take his own wounds seriously just like Xue Xian. While he was about to withdraw his hand, he patted Xue Xian's shoulder with the other hand, saying: "Have you ever hit a bone in your shoulder?"

"It's missing a big part. How can there be any bone hit by it? Don't shrink your hands." Xue Xian replied perfunctorily, not thinking behind his back at all. The hand that was about to be withdrawn was pulled in front of him again.

Xue Xian frowned, and was about to lower his head, when Xuan Min swiftly supported his forehead with the other palm, and stopped him from continuing to lower his head.

"Don't mess around." There was a trace of helplessness in Xuan Min's tone.

"What nonsense?" Xue Xian raised his eyes in bewilderment with his forehead pressed against him and asked, "Why stop me?"

Xuan Min stared at him with dark eyes, hesitated to speak, and simply fell silent.

Xue Xian blinked his eyes, and then realized for a moment: "You think I'm going to..." Lick the wound twice like last time?

Xuan Min's eyes moved for a moment, but he didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

"Beautiful idea!" Xue Xian became furious, but when he saw Xuan Min's bloodshot back of his hand, he lost his temper, and said angrily, "I just want to get closer to see if I can find a way to make your skin rotten." The flesh heals quickly. It will be fine if I breathe out the dragon energy, after all, my whole body is full of treasures."

Xuan Min: "..."

Xue Xian felt that there was nothing wrong with this sentence, but Xuan Min somehow remembered something, and his expression was unnatural for a moment, but he recovered quickly.

He withdrew his hand and looked away, and pointed to the road ahead lightly, "It's just scratching, it's not hurt, let's hurry up and chase after him."

Of course, Xue Xian knew that scratching injuries were insignificant to both him and Xuan Min, so he naturally didn't insist on doing anything. After all, apart from Dragon Saliva, he really couldn't think of anything that could make Xuan Min's skin and flesh quicker. A way to heal.

He let Xuan Min withdraw his hand, and walked forward behind Xuan Min.

The place where the two fell was like a cave in a deep mountain. There was a deep stone path extending from where they stood. The stone path was extremely narrow, and the stone walls on both sides were inclined. The narrower it is, the top part seems to have grown together.

Xue Xian and Xuan Min walked one after the other, because they were both tall, they had to lower their heads while walking.

"Bloodstains." Xue Xian glanced at the sharp stones protruding from the side of the stone path.

The blood stain smelled of blunt rust, very sticky, black in color, definitely not fresh blood rubbed from Xuan Min's hand.It must have been accidentally bumped by the "person" passed on from earlier when he squeezed through this stone road.

Not only that, even the uneven ground seems to be soaked with this kind of old blood. When you step on it, you can always feel some uncomfortable stickiness on the soles.

"En." Xuan Min who was walking in front responded, and said again, "The blood on the ground is very thick, many people should have passed by."

The meanings of "more than one person" and "many people" are different. When Xuan Min said this, his voice was serious, and he obviously felt that the blood mud accumulated on the soles of his feet was a bit unexpected.

This is definitely not an effect that one or two people can get out of, nor is it seven or eight people.If half-condensed old blood dripped from the body while walking, if you want to accumulate the effect of the current stone path, you must have at least a hundred people, or even more.

Where Xue Xian and Xuan Min landed earlier, there was still some skylight leaking from top to bottom, but when they arrived at this narrow stone path, the daylight gradually dimmed.After turning a corner, the stone path suddenly became wider, but the gloomy sky was completely blocked out, and everything visible in front of the eyes was a blank darkness.

Fortunately, Xue Xian's eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people, so that in such darkness, he could still make out some vague outlines.He took two steps forward, wanting to switch order with Xuan Min, but just as he was about to jump forward, Xuan Min precisely grabbed his wrist.

Xue Xian: "..." That's really lenient, do you have eyes in your hands?

However, this feeling of being watched by Xuan Min all the time is not bad, so although he was a little helpless on the face, he honestly slowed down his steps, maintained the state of being side by side with Xuan Min, and did not stubbornly go around Go ahead and lead the way.

After the two of them rubbed shoulders in the dark narrow stone path and walked side by side for a while, suddenly a sudden step appeared under their feet.At the same time as the two walked down that level, the stone walls that squeezed their bodies on both sides suddenly emptied, as if they suddenly opened up.

However, Xue Xian's steps suddenly stopped.

He grabbed Xuan Min's arm and forcibly grabbed Xuan Min who was about to move forward, and quickly wrote the word "wait" on his palm with his fingers.

Xuan Min naturally understood, stopped and did not move.

The two of them took a low breath, and their eyes scanned around in the darkness.

It is not too difficult for them to do things quietly on weekdays.But the blood on the ground of the stone path that he walked just now was too sticky, even if he deliberately suppressed his steps, he still couldn't avoid some small sounds.And the stone path was extraordinarily quiet, even the slight friction sound of the cloth was amplified a lot.

As a result, those small movements were beaten back and forth by the dark stone path, forming overlapping echoes, which inadvertently covered up other small movements.

As soon as the movement stopped at this time, the slight movement of the rustling was highlighted, and it became more and more clear to the ears of the two of them.

It was a sound similar to that of a dragonfly touching water, light and fast, but very dense, one after another, as if there was no end.Maybe it was because the sound hit the stone wall and was repeatedly beaten back, or maybe it was some other reason, the sound was not only made in one place, but spread all over the place.

Whether it was the top of the head, the sides, or the front, the slight rustling sounds became more and more clear.

Xue Xian suddenly remembered something, his face changed, and he said to Xuan Min: "Is there any fire strip left? Light it up."

Even though he had lowered his voice, his voice still became an extremely abrupt sound, being beaten back and forth by various stone walls and overlapping three times, echoing faintly in the stone path.

Before the lingering sound faded away, the slight noises around suddenly stopped, and then suddenly became crazy, and even brought a "buzzing" vibration sound, as if...something was flapping its wings generally.

When Xuan Min took out the fire inch strip, he realized something.So the moment he struck the flame, he threw the fire strip out with his hands.

boom--

Too many flapping sounds sounded at the same time, and the sound was so loud that it made people sick to the stomach.

Countless black shadows rushed up from all directions and rushed towards the flame.Some even brushed the cheeks of the two of them, the wind blown by the wings carried a damp musty smell, and there was something like fine powder.

Xue Xian stretched out his hand to grab it with disgust on his face, and accurately pinched a black shadow that was passing by in the dark.

Just as soon as he touched his fingertips, he made a "tsk", and threw the black shadow out with his backhand.He twirled his fingers, only to feel that his fingertips were also stained with the dry powder on the black shadow's wings and became a little slippery.He frowned fiercely, and was about to speak, but he heard Xuan Min beside him say coldly: "Moth."

That's right, it's a moth.

Although the bean-sized flame was extinguished by thousands of black shadows in mid-air just now, Xue Xian still managed to see the general structure of this place——

This is a spacious stone cave, the surrounding walls are all curved, like a melon buckled on a stone plate.

There may be some holes and bumps on the curved stone wall, and these thousands of moths have been hiding on the stone wall before, or shrinking in the hole, or crouching on the stone, waiting for someone to come.

Even when Xue Xian was in the form of a dragon, he hated this kind of thing that circled around his body and disturbed people's quietness. Not only moths, but as long as it was such endless worms, he was very tired of it.

Not to mention the human form, when he thought of those moths still brushing past his face, his face became gloomy.

The fire strip Xuan Min threw was tightly wrapped in a ball of countless moths, and a moment later, with an uncomfortable crackling sound, the smothered moths fell on the ground one after another. land.

At the same time, more wings sounded from the surrounding stone walls.

"What the hell is this place with so many troublesome things!" Xue Xian said irritably.

"Stand back." Xuan Min said, and took out another fire inch, but at the same time, he sacrificed his string of copper coins.

chap——

A flame sprang up from the top of the fire bar between his fingers, reflecting his long and thin fingers.

boom--

There was another overwhelming sound of flapping wings, and a huge black shadow formed by countless moths rushed towards the two of them with their heads covered and their faces covered.

Xuan Min simply wiped the copper coin neatly, and then slammed the top of the copper coin with his index finger. There was a metallic sound of "buzz", and a strong wind gushed out from Xuan Min's wide sleeves. The flames suddenly elongated and expanded in the wind, like a fire dragon, rushing straight out, roaring and coiling in the square arched stone chamber.Wherever it passed, moths fluttered and fell straight down.

The brazen fire dragon fought with thousands of moths in the air, and the whole cave was bright and dark.

Xue Xian looked at the moths falling like rain, and felt so disgusted that he glanced away unbearably.

"Wait, there are characters engraved on the wall." His eyes happened to fall on the stone wall beside him, and he saw that the bumps where the moths hid were not holes, but characters that were carved on it at some time.

He pulled Xuan Min, moved his fingers down one by one along the characters on the wall, finally stopped at a certain place, and read out the words at the end: "Hundred Worm Cave..."

Hiss—where did you hear that?
