Chapter 281 Ant Nest
"I'm fine..."
Pang Hongyue said in a very weak way: "Where is this?"
"This is the world of the world." Xu Yan replied very seriously.
The girl was so angry that she wanted to be happy, but the corners of her lips were filled with pain. It seemed that she was hit hard by the stones on both sides of the river like Xu Yan.
"Don't talk, take a break, I'll be walking around."
Xu Yan was able to walk around. After leaving Pang Hongyue, he began to walk along the river to the depths.
Being trapped in an underground cave is not a good thing. If you can't find the exit, you might encounter some danger.
The deeper he walked, the colder Xu Yan's heart became. When he reached the end of the cave, he couldn't help but sigh.
Dead end!
The cave is very large, but there is no exit to the outside. The waterway that runs through the cave has become the only way out.
Looking at the sinking terrain and the turbulent water flow, Xu Yan felt that the only way to survive was to swim back to the Hantan in Liulan Valley along the river and escape from the Hantan.
Swimming along the river water is basically a matter of seeking death. If you really get carried to the depths of the ground by the river water, that is a dead end.
The deeper the underground, the more dangerous it is. This is a practice, so Xu Yan is naturally very clear about it.
There was no other way, and Xu Yan turned back. Along the way, he kept observing the opposite side of the river. Because the river divided the cave, he only explored half of the cave. There was no danger here. Who knew if there were any ferocious beasts hidden opposite.
Fortunately, from the vague vision of the left eye, there were no living creatures in the cave opposite, at least there were no traces of large monsters.
Halfway through the walk, Xu Yan stopped, squatted by the river and frowned.
There are small gravels by the river, with some strange things mixed in the gravels.
It was a small earth-colored stone twice as big as the nails. The surface was very smooth and looked no different from other gravels. However, in Xu Yan's left eye, the small earth-colored stone vaguely exuded a strange smell.
Aura?
The puzzled Xu Yan was suddenly shocked, picked up a small stone and looked carefully. An amazing word gradually emerged in his heart.
Is it a spirit stone?
A stone that emits spiritual energy is just a spirit stone.
After looking at the river, Xu Yan grinned and giggled.
If it is a spirit stone, wouldn’t he send it? It’s all over the river. It needs to be transported out. Not to mention buying fishtail lotus, it’s enough to buy dragontail lotus.
Gaba!
Xu Yan's smirk was frozen on his face just as soon as it appeared. A slight sound from the opposite river almost shocked him.
What's it!
Bent down, Xu Yan stared at the other side without moving. Although the river channel was not wide, it was too dark. His right eye could not see the opposite side at all, and he could only rely on the blurred vision of his left eye.
The sound came from the gravel on the opposite river, but no matter how Xu Yan looked for it, he didn't find anything.
The rocks that rolled in the river?
Thinking of this, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to get up, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes again.
At this time, his left eye happened to catch a strange phenomenon. In the gravel opposite the river, something seemed to be crawling on a small earth-colored stone, because in Xu Yan's blurry left eye, the small stone was constantly wriggling.
A stone cannot move, but it can only be a living thing!
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Xu Yan lay down by the river and watched for a long time, until his neck was about to stretch, and then he roughly recognized what was on the stone.
It should be some ants or insects, crawling with the stone, which makes the small stone seem to be wriggling.
Ants gnaw on spirit stones?
Xu Yan felt his scalp numb. If he could even chew the stone, it would be easier to chew two living people to death.
It's not a good place...
With a bitter face, Xu Yan was not in the mood to collect the spirit stones. He took a small stone and returned to the place where Pang Hongyue was resting carefully.
"We're trapped here."
Xu Yan sat next to Pang Hongyue and whispered, his voice like a mosquito.
Pang Hongyue also recovered a lot at this time. Seeing Xu Yan's appearance, she couldn't help but wonder: "If you swim along the river, will you be brought to the ground by the river?"
"No." Xu Yan shook his head and said softly: "We will be taken deeper underground. If there is no cave, we will drown in the water and finally be washed into the sea to feed the fish."
"What's wrong with you? Your voice is so small?" Pang Hongyue was puzzled.
"Small sound, it's so dark here, don't attract lonely ghosts." Xu Yan not only had a low voice, but his tone was also sinister. He heard Pang Hongyue's pretty face turned pale, and he couldn't help but move to Xu Yan.
"Hongyue, have you seen the spirit stone?" Xu Yan asked, feeling the warmth beside him.
"I've seen it, my dad once taught me to identify the spirit stone."
"Look at this piece, I just picked it up, there are still many by the river."
"This is..." Pang Hongyue took the small earth-colored stone, frowned and said in confusion: "The shape is very similar, the color is very similar."
As he said that, the girl found a small piece of jade pendant from her close-fitting purse. Seeing the jade pendant, Xu Yan couldn't help but curl his lips.
Looking for Spirit Jade.
It turns out that the direct genius children of the aristocratic families would be given a piece of spiritual search jade by their elders to detect spiritual stones and spiritual herbs. Pang Hongyue also had a piece in her purse and would not be taken out easily. However, something like spiritual search jade was useless to Xu Yan because his left eye was much more convenient than spiritual search jade.
As soon as the small jade pendant approached the small earth-colored stone, it immediately became brighter. Although the halo was not too bright, it shone Pang Hongyue's surprise in full view.
"What a spirit stone?"
Seeing Pang Hongyue's surprise look, Xu Yan also felt lucky. He saw it very clearly just now that there were many such small stones in the pile of gravels by the river.
It was a blessing in disguise. This was Xu Yan's first thought, but before he could be happy, his face changed suddenly.
Bang!
He knocked away the spirit stone in Pang Hongyue's hand, and Xu Yan pulled Pang Hongyue up without saying a word, and the small piece of spirit-seeking jade became dim.
Xu Yan's sudden behavior scared Pang Hongyue. Just as he was about to ask, he found that Xu Yan's face became ugly.
The reason why the spirit stone was knocked away was because Xu Yan saw a big brown ant and silently climbed up the spirit stone along Pang Hongyue's arm.
"Does the spirit stone attract ants?" Xu Yan asked in a low voice.
Pang Hongyue shook her head for no reason. She had never heard of spirit stones that could attract ants.
