Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 465 Ants and Snakes

   "Uh... how did you and it... meet?"

  In order to resolve the embarrassment of finding an exit, Xiaolan pretended to ask the old man naturally.

"Is this little guy?" The old man straightened his body and tilted his head toward the face spider's right shoulder. "Speaking of... it's still a very interesting thing. When I just broke into here, My eyes were bleeding and rotting. At that time, I really almost died. One day, when I was scraping the moss on the wall to make food as usual, I suddenly felt my fingers stung. Then, I My fingers began to swell and my body began to itch. I slowly lost my breath. When I fainted, I thought I was dead. As a result, I woke up and my eyes were not swollen or painful. When I woke up, the little guy was lying on my body. I used to be afraid of spiders. I knew what it was, but this time I was not afraid. We have been together ever since."

  Through the green fluorescence on the cave wall, Xiao Lan glanced at the human face spider.

  In any case, this image is difficult to associate with the word pet.

  But in this case, it is already a great comfort to have a life that can accompany each other.

   "Ahead..." The old man raised his arm and pointed to the dark road ahead. "Cross this curtain of water and you are at the end of the cave."

The sound of pattering water came into Xiaolan's ears at this time. Sure enough, a thin curtain of water mist appeared in front of her, blocking them and the road ahead.

  Go through the water curtain and walk to the end.

  The platform here is the most spacious. On the left side of the platform, there is a black pool the size of a basketball court. The surface of the water is extremely calm, and the green fluorescent light shines on it. It is still pitch black and it is not clear what it looks like underwater.

  Except for the pond, the surroundings here are no different from the rest of the cave.

   Xiaolan looked left and right, desperately trying to make a difference.

  The old man stood quietly, reaching out from time to time to tease the cute face spider.

After a while, the old man opened his mouth, "Have you found it?"

  Stones are all stones.

  This is not as good as the place where the two of them fell in. Although the exit there is on the top, at least there is an exit.

   "It seems... I will look at it again."

  When Xiaolan was performing the second round of naked eye scanning, the human face spider suddenly raised its front feet, swung its black bean-like eyes from side to side, and crawled to the ground.

   "It..."

   "It's okay," the old man smiled, "It must have been a living thing."

   Xiaolan's line of sight followed the human face spider, and as expected, a line of big ants was climbing at the corner of the wall.

The human face spider drove the ants into a shallow ditch. The ants marched as usual, but did not see them. At the end of the road, a dense white cobweb was waiting for them to enter the urn.

  "It's so smart." Xiaolan couldn't help but admire.

  "Here, how can I live if I'm not smart? This little guy, he's almost perfect."

   Xiaolan nodded, her smile suddenly frozen on her face.

and many more.

   "Ant?" Xiaolan leaned back abruptly, the ant swarm ran out of the shallow ditch in fright, and the human face spider waved her forefoot condemningly.

"what's happenin?"

   "Where did this ant come from?" Xiao Lan followed the source of the ant brigade.

   "I don't know," the old man also leaned over, "but there are often ants here, so the little guy will prepare traps here."

  A string of black ants the size of a nail, lined up in an orderly row.

   Xiaolan followed the ant team and moved.

  She came to the black pond.

  "These ants actually crawled out of here," Xiao Lan was dumbfounded, "They actually came out of the water."

  ***

  The three of them stood at the place where the entrance to the ruins should be, and exchanged a firm look.

"go."

There were fallen planks and rocks everywhere, the giant moon was gone, there was only an ordinary moon in the sky, the moonlight was so faint, they could not see the details in the dark, they could only back to back, step by step cautiously towards the ruins. Go deep.

   "Is it really here?" Meili held up the wooden stick he picked up on the ground and stopped in front of his chest.

  Lu Qianqian picked up a spike casually, "We must not be there yet."

"Why do you say that?"

   "Because there are neither people nor bones here," Lu Qianqian wrapped a strip of cloth on the blunt end of the spike, "so we have not at least reached where they stayed."

  At this moment, Jasmine stopped abruptly.

  Her eyes are staring in one direction.

  Lu Qianqian and Meili stopped at the same time, and looked at Jasmine vigilantly, and then at the place Jasmine was staring at.

   "I seem to see a pair of eyes." Jasmine spoke slowly in the darkness.

   "Eyes?"

  "Green, shining," Jasmine raised her hand, "It's there."

   "Aren't they human?" Meili asked.

   Jasmine shook her head, "I don’t know, I just caught a glimpse of it, and it disappeared in an instant."

   Meili took a step forward, craned her neck and looked at the small **** made by the pile of broken planks, "Nothing."

   "I don't know..." Jasmine doubted herself, "It seems that there was only a flash, almost never..."

   "Jasmine!"

   Meili retracted her foot, and as soon as she returned her eyes to Jasmine, she screamed in horror.

  Jasmine’s back was instantly cold.

  She felt it, and a bit of chill, accompanied by a sizzling sound, quickly approached the back of her neck.

  Too late...

  Lu Qianqian disappeared instantly.

   Soon, Lu Qianqian's figure appeared behind Jasmine, her body still bowed in the air, maintaining a scorpion-tailed posture, raised the spikes in her hand, and swung it down fiercely.

  A thick, cold liquid splashed behind Jasmine’s neck.

   "Hi! —" The sizzle exploded for a while, and then stopped.

  All this is almost completed in half a second.

   Jasmine turned around abruptly, took two steps back, and Meili supported her behind her.

  Lu Qianqian had already stood still, holding the spike in his hand, and hanging from the spike, a...dead snake.

  The thorn was just seven inches from the snake. The blood of the snake was spilled all over the floor. The snake still kept its mouth wide open, its core spit out, and the snake's teeth were sharp, glowing with cold under the moon.

  "Tune the tiger away from the mountain." Lu Qianqian spit out four words.

  Jasmine’s back was cold again.

  Is this a way that this kind of thing can come up with?

  "It should be that we have three people. If it is not good to attack, we will first attract our attention, and then defeat them one by one." Meili murmured.

   "Then the eyes I see are also it?"

"I don't think it should be." Meili poked the snake's tail with a wooden stick in his hand to confirm that it was dead. "When it came, we didn't hear any sound, and you see, the snake's eyes are yellow. of."

  Indeed, the khaki of the snake's eyes had become muddy, and the last target that appeared in the eyes was Jasmine's neck.

  This means that...

   "There are still many snakes here," Lu Qianqian threw away the dead snake, shaking the blood on the thorns, "We must be careful."
