【The Queen and the Knight】

…………

When Xia Ke opened his eyes, there was dim light flickering around.Judging from the situation, I should be in a narrow passage, with a bunch of flames burning every few meters on the rock walls on both sides.

Wait a minute, where's my sister?Xia Ke propped himself up and looked around anxiously, the only thing he saw was the chivalrous man leaning on the rock wall looking at her with the corner of his mouth curled up.

Xia Ke frowned, and looked away, "Where are the others?"

"It should have fallen into another passage. I checked just now, and there are only two entrances above. The surrounding stone walls are also very wet and slippery. There is no place to rely on, and it is impossible to climb up." The knight took two steps , came to Xia Ke’s side, “The wax oil on the rock wall here is very sufficient, which means that the flame will only ignite when the mechanism is touched. Once the people who come down, they can only follow the flame and continue to move forward. It seems that the design is very precise. What about the ruins?"

Xia Ke didn't say anything, just took a step forward.While understanding the environment is important, there is someone here with more experience than she does.

"His Royal Highness, wait for me." The knight continued to observe the surroundings, seeing Xia Ke walking up, hurriedly took a few steps to keep up.

Her Royal Highness?Xia Ke doesn't like this title very much now, especially after going through the computer power-on password incident. "Don't call me that."

"Then how can I call you?" The knight continued to talk as if nothing happened, and seemed to have completely ignored Xia Ke's emotional changes. "Calling that name can easily be misunderstood as me talking to myself, calling myself okay."

"You just need to shut up." Xia Ke didn't look at him again, and quickened his pace again.

"Alas, Her Royal Highness didn't treat me like this before." The knight disapproved.

Xia Ke stopped abruptly, turned his head, stared at the knight with both eyes, and said in a strong tone, "You don't think about it, what did you do to me before?" When his lips touched for the last time, Xia Ke realized that he had lost control of his emotions , After glaring at the knight, he continued to move forward.

She is an intelligence expert, a person who relies on her brain to eat, must not be impulsive.

The knight stayed where he was, looking at the girl walking away, the corners of his mouth curved deeper.What, you also started to care about my attitude towards you?

"Go slowly!" the knight yelled forward, and chased after him again.

The further you go, the greater the distance between the flames.After passing through a flame, only through a small section of dark darkness can one enter the next light again.

In fact, Xia Ke has been wondering whether he is afraid of the dark.Once in a strange corner shrouded in darkness, her body would tremble involuntarily.

If my elder sister finds out, she will definitely laugh at herself, what? You are probably the only one who comes out of Meteor Street who is not afraid of killing but afraid of the dark. 'That's not because I used to sleep with a fool by my side.

The darkness shrouded in front of him prompted Xia Ke to slow down, and his breathing rate accelerated slightly.All of this was seen by another person beside him.

"Your Majesty, you are not afraid of the dark, are you?" the knight joked, "If you don't mind, I can lend you a hand to hold."

Xia Ke didn't answer, let alone hold the hand extended by the knight.A certain fox could only continue to follow resentfully.

The darkness deepened, but at the same time, a light blue light gradually floated in, like fireflies dotted with blue light.But how could there be such a thing in the passage of such a small cave.

As it goes deeper, there are more and more blue lights. If you touch it unintentionally, it feels like a sticky feather. You need to use your fingers to remove it from your arm.

The light of the flame faded, and what appeared in front was a large piece of light blue dandelions, clusters stuck to the rock wall in front left, and the blue fluorescence illuminated half of the rock wall here.What's even more strange is that these dandelion-like plants move automatically without wind, and the feathers on large fluffy balls float around randomly.

At this time, the feathers on a large pile of pompoms were dangling in front of Xia Ke in groups, as if the dark side would pounce on them in the next second.Xia Ke was a little dazed, feeling that his brain couldn't keep up with the operation, how could such a situation appear in this kind of place.

Just when Bai Yu was about to bump into Xia Ke, an external force pulled her away, and the large cluster of Yu Xu brushed past her.The exception, no doubt, is the chivalrous man.

"Your Highness, it's not your style to be so unguarded."

It was only at this moment that Xia Ke realized that she hadn't figured out whether these plants were harmful, so she was almost touched by them on a large scale.

"Then, clever spider 'brain', please explain to me what plants these are." Xia Ke was actually very glad that the knight had pulled her away in the last second, but it's not her style to be grateful.

"It's very similar to a dandelion, but it's definitely not. It doesn't need soil to grow, and it can float and sow seeds by itself. It is very likely that it has self-awareness like the trees in that forest." The knight took out the little devil's phone and said to The strange plant took a photo, "Although I don't know what it is, it will never be a good thing."

"Oh? It's not a good thing? How do you know?" Xia Ke agreed with the previous point, but she didn't see the truth in the last sentence.

"Haha, of course it's... a guess." The knight stroked the back of his head and grinned.

"..." The corners of Xia Ke's face twitched, and then he realized something, "That, knight..."

"Huh?" Xia Ke was surprised that his name would be called.

"That..." Xia Ke pointed to the place on the front right opposite to the blue dandelion.

The plants on the left side are in full bloom, but there is no trace of life on the right side.But if you get closer, you can see a few black fungus plants clinging to the corner, and only there is still pitch black, without those feathers fluttering in the wind.

It really is a strange place, even the plants are divided into groups?Xia Ke sighed lightly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about these things, let's go." The knight suggested, "Let's talk to the leader first, they will talk to the most important thing."

Then you can die quickly, right?Xia Ke glared at the knight again, carefully avoided Yu Xu, and walked through the strange flora.

What am I doing wrong?The chivalrous man looked at Her Royal Highness who bowed his head and left in puzzlement, and touched himself all over.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If it is said that this is not a relic, but a botanical garden, Xia Ke believes it.

What appeared in front of the two of them was no longer a narrow passage, but more like a huge indoor greenhouse, with untended branches and vines occupying the entire ground.Several huge orange flowers spread thick petals, each occupying a place.

The two looked at each other, tacit understanding, walked through the field without flowers, and tried not to step on the long vines on the ground.

Is this too unchallenging?A sentence popped up in Xia Ke's mind suddenly.At this time, the vines on the ground began to move in a very face-saving way. After lifting up vertically, they swooped straight towards the two of them.

Whether it's Xia Ke or a knight, they are all intelligence personnel, and they are not good at melee combat, and all their energy can only be used on dodging.

"Her Majesty the Almighty Queen, do you have any good ideas?" Just as the knight dodged one vine, another came oncoming.

"I don't have any combat abilities. I'm an operating system." Xia Ke said honestly, leaning over a barbed vine.

"What a coincidence, me too!"

If the scene is changed, I believe the two of them can serve a table.

Without paying attention, Xia Ke's ankle was encircled by a vine and pulled up.She obviously does regular exercise, isn't it that the reflex arc is too thick?

The vine pulled herself towards the huge orange-yellow stamen, and seeing the white emulsion oozing from the center of the stamen, Xia Ke began to pray in her heart: It's not a piranha!Not piranhas!

If I die, will anyone miss her?Time passed very slowly at this moment, anyway, he couldn't break free, Xia Ke began to think about something.

The only ones who can count on now are knights, but there is no idiot who is in the mood to pay attention to others at the same time that his own life may not be saved.

Seeing that huge sucker-like stamen was still one meter away from him, the strength on his feet loosened.Xia Ke took the opportunity to push hard and break free.Putting one hand on the ground, he stood up.

Did the flower go wrong?Xia Ke looked up, only to find that the knight had cut off a section of the root of the piranha with a knife, and his hands were covered with wet mucus.

Just slightly stunned for a moment, the two moved again, and finally passed through the cave greenhouse after tens of seconds.

"Thank you." More or less, it was the chivalrous man who saved him, "Don't worry, the opal is fine." Xia Ke touched his pocket with self-knowledge.She felt that if it wasn't for the opal, Spider Brain would never have saved herself.

The people on Meteor Street only have room for their companions.

"Your Highness, if I say that I only wanted to save you just now, not the opal, would you believe me?" The knight's blue eyes blinked lightly, and he stared at Xia Ke seriously, without the previous indecent laugh.

Being stared at like this, Xia Ke felt a little flustered in his heart, and didn't know what to say.

Xia Ke looked at Xia Ke with disbelief written in his eyes, and then added, "I lied to you." Then he raised the corners of his mouth, continued to smile, and put on the disguise he was used to.

Xia Ke knew it, even on the Internet, and hardly saw him passing by.How can people from Meteor Street save people other than their partners?Then if it wasn't her, but a knight in distress just now, would she go to rescue him?No, probably...

Once again, an endless dark passage.

"Your Highness the Queen." Xia Ke heard the knight calling her, his voice was very suppressed, not as bright as before.

"What's wrong?" She turned her head slightly to look at him diagonally behind.

"If possible, I'm afraid Her Royal Highness will lend me a shoulder." He was still smiling, but the sweat on his face exposed him.

"You...what's the matter?" At this moment, the knight's face was covered with sweat, as if he was holding back something.

"It's probably the liquid in the rhizome just now..." As soon as he finished speaking, the knight's whole body began to shake, "I can't use my strength."

There was really nothing he could do about it, Xia Ke shook his head helplessly, and reached out to support the knight who might fall down in a second.

At this time, outside the ruins——

Nobunaga saw a ray of light and ran out excitedly, only to find that he was outside the ruins.

"Oh? Wojin, Franklin? Why are you here too?"

"I'm afraid some of those organs are traps. They lead to the outside, not the inside of the ruins." Franklin pointed to the high platform.

"Damn it!" Wo Jin waved his fist, "No matter how hard you step on the remaining mechanisms, they won't work."

"You too..." The three turned their heads at the same time, looking at Pike who came out.

"Okay, now there is no shortage of three, any of you brought playing cards?"
