When the morning light shone like the Buddha's light shining on the border city, the guardian camps were covered with mud, and the camps were tilted around. The camps facing the door of the stone cave were washed aside, piled up in a mess, covered with mud and sand.

The soldiers in the camp went into battle with shovels to remove dirt from the camp. Before dawn, Taidong and Liu Zhentian took a few elite soldiers into the cave to find out what happened. At this time, they had been in the middle of about an hour and still had not reached the end of the cave.

The ground of the cave was covered with thick mud and sand, and the sound of foot squeaking over it was made. Under the torch, the traces of being dragged by the things on the muddy surface were clearly visible, as well as dense claw marks.

Liu Zhen was struggling behind Taidong, and he looked at the crawling scars of unknown origin and felt the drums in his heart. The more he went inside, the more traces there were. Liu Zhen couldn't help it, and took the torch in one hand and approached Taidong and asked, "Brother, have you noticed the crawling scars on the ground? This is a bit like a big thing."

Taidong looked around and observed the environment inside the cave. He raised his head and looked deeper and said, "This trace should have been crawled by crocodiles. At the end of the cave, it leads to the crocodile pool outside the city."

"Yuanshan Crocodile Pond? Are you talking about the stone cave in our barracks leading to the valley?"

Liu Zhen's face was shocked, and the few people following him stopped at the same time. The sound of their breathing could be clearly heard in the quiet stone cave.

Frightened and panic, this is everyone's reaction after hearing Taidong's words. Under the raging torch, everyone's face looked very ugly.

They didn't know what it looked like in the depths of the cave, but when it came to Yuanshan Crocodile Pond, people couldn't help but feel cold on their backs.

Yuanshan Crocodile Pond is located in a valley outside the border town. It is a bottomless abyss. Below is a pool of green waters all year round. There are many crocodiles inside. People call it the crocodile Pond. The crocodile in the pond is cruel by nature. There are many people who accidentally fall into the crocodile Pond for countless years. There are many people who deliberately go down to explore, but they all have only one result, that is, there is no return.

The water level of the Crocodile Pond is even more volatile. Sometimes the water surface cannot be seen at all, but sometimes it can rise several feet from the edge of the abyss.

Taidong looked at the shocked people, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched and continued, "Yes, because of this, the stone cave has only detained death row prisoners for decades, and they are all locked with iron chains. Although the gate leading to the crocodile pool is blocked by sand, it is not guaranteed that the cave will suddenly open one day. Therefore, for the safety of the barracks, the stone gate outside has been in a semi-banned state for decades, and there is also a ban on entering several feet."

"So that's it, then do we have to continue in?" someone behind him asked, "This place leads to the crocodile pool, and the danger ahead is unknown. To be honest, they hope to stop there.

Seeing the dense claw marks on the ground, they were already covered with water. I guess they were left before the water receded. Taidong looked at Liu Zhen with his eyes and looked at the people following him and said, "Do you decide whether to go in or not. The water rise last night was obviously higher than before, otherwise it would not have rushed to the sinking sand and poured into the cave. I can't guarantee whether there are crocodiles inside. With the strength of us, it doesn't matter how many of them are, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with a nest."

What Taidong said is not without reason. Halfway through the stone cave, the mud and sand here have made it difficult for everyone to walk. The front will probably have to pile up thicker, and it will be more difficult to walk than here. If you encounter a crocodile, it will not be so easy to deal with.

Everyone looked at each other, sweating and spine under the hot torch. Liu Zhen showed a hint of curiosity on his face, and then looked at everyone and said, "I decided to look in, maybe Mu Xiao is in a corner inside."

Having said that, Taidong was naturally clear about what he was thinking. After years of bans blocking him outside the stone cave gate, this time with Mu Xiao’s excuse, it would be strange if he didn’t take the opportunity to investigate in depth. But Taidong didn’t say it, and he also thought so? Although he had heard of the story of the stone cave, he had never seen it with his own eyes. At this time, no matter how dangerous it was, he had to see what was going on.

"Okay, since everyone wants to look inside, then go. Exhaust half of the torch, and keep walking!"

Since entering Shidong, Liu Zhen put down his long-haired man's hair and listened to Taidong's words in everything. Taidong's understanding of Shidong is probably more familiar than Liu Zhen, so Liu Zhen has no complaints. As Taidong said, after half of the torch was put out, there were only three burning left, but it was enough to illuminate everyone's path forward.

Everyone walked forward for a long time, and it was safe along the way, but the more they went, the deeper the mud and sand, it almost didn't reach everyone's knees. Every step was very difficult, and even the help of true qi was used. Although it was faster to move forward with the help of true qi, it was not a good thing to consume too much true qi. In case of an accident, it would be difficult to escape unscathed. At this time, preserving strength is the smartest choice.

After passing through a cave entrance less than two meters high, Taidong and others finally came to a relatively wide place. This space was like a large room, and it looked like it was four or five meters high, about two meters wide.

The ground is filled with mud and sand, and the mud and sand left when the water recedes, form a funnel shape. In the middle, a small hole as big as a bowl, vague light shines in.

"I'll go and have a look." One of them stepped onto the light entrance.

Swish

Suddenly, the mud and sand suddenly flipped, and several crocodile tails exposed the muddy surface.

"careful!"

"Danger!"

Taidong, Liu Zhen and others shouted to the person who walked out, but it was too late. When the crocodile moved, the light mouth collapsed quickly, and the mud and sand flowed downwards and made a whirring sound.

Several crocodiles were several meters in shape, and they almost filled the open space below. When their mouths were wide open, the soldiers who walked out screamed. A crocodile several meters long bit his calf and pulled it off, and when he rushed forward again, he had already bit his waist.

Boom

In a hurry, Taidong and Liu Zhen rushed towards the crocodile at the same time, and the other three retreated to the entrance of the cave. At the end of the cave, several crocodiles attacked the two even more wildly. When they hit the biting crocodile with two palms, the mud and sand that looked like a funnel collapsed completely.

The light illuminated the space instantly. The crocodile that had originally rushed towards the people of Taidong suddenly fell down, and the soldier who had walked out earlier was also gone.

A hole the size of a dining table appeared in front of everyone, and a cry for help came from below.

Taidong and others walked into the entrance of the pit and looked down. A large splash of water splashed on the green water surface more than ten meters below. After a few moments, except for a touch of bright red staining the water surface, they never heard the voice of that person. They only saw rough heads floating on the water surface of the crocodile pond.

Above the Yuanshan Mountain, Mu Xiao was suddenly awakened and just now he heard the sound of someone calling for help. When he woke up, the sun was already shining on the mountain. He only slept under the corner of the stone last night and had not woken up for so long. When he was half-squatting out of the stone, Mu Xiao looked to the side and suddenly found that the woman in purple was sleeping soundly against the big tree. Her hair was scattered in the morning breeze, covering her face in a mess, and her white hands and palms were hanging from the sky. Her slender legs were stretched forward without the slightest reserve that a woman should have.

"Qinnian? Didn't she leave last night?"

Mu Xiao remembered that he pretended to be angry last night and wanted to come back to help her, but he actually ordered him to get out. Later, seeing Mu Xiao unmoved, Qi Nian left angrily. But now the sudden appearance of this place makes people wonder.

"Hey, aren't you leaving? Why are you back?" Mu Xiao said as he walked towards Qi Nian, but she did not wake up.

A cool breeze blew, covering her face and hair was gently blown away, revealing her white lips, and it was still a little purple. Mu Xiao strides out and squats in front of her, but he doesn't dare to reach out to shake her. After a few calls, he still didn't see her awake. When he reached out to explore her breath under her nose, a cold air made Mu Xiao nervous. At this time, Qi Nian was not asleep, but fainted. The cold air emitted from her body had already made the weeds beside her thin frost.

"Damn, this is the cold poison entering the body, it should be the reason for the crocodile bite." Mu Xiao muttered. Now he could not tolerate him thinking too much. It is important to save people first. But when he remembered the scene of being tyrannical in the cave, Mu Xiao's body trembled. This woman could not be touched, it seemed that she had to think about a way.

After looking around, there seemed to be no good idea. Mu Xiao gritted his teeth, took off her shoes, and when he untied the cloth, a stinking smell came from her feet. Mu Xiao couldn't help but turn his head and take a breath to the side.

"I'm so bad, I'm still stubborn!" Mu Xiao endured his vomiting and continued to untie the strip of cloth covered with pus and blood.

Qi Nian's heels turned bloody and bloody. It seems that the injury I had last night was not as simple as I saw. I am afraid that the crocodile in the pond lived in places with heavy yin energy all year round, and coupled with the cold air in the pond water, Qi Nian's injury attracted the cold air into the body.

Mu Xiao rolled her trouser legs upwards, and when she touched her ankle, a pool of blood flowed out of the wound on her heel.

The most important thing now is to force out the cold air from her body, otherwise the cold poison would have to be killed if it spreads to the internal organs. After all, she brought herself out of the stone cave. Although she almost died in the crocodile pond, she was still alive. Now, seeing that she is like this, Mu Xiao has no reason to be saved.

Mu Xiao stood up and looked on her head for a while, thinking in his heart: Shouldn’t the silver needle be on her head? Why didn’t you see it? But seeing her disheveled hair, Mu Xiao was too lazy to look for it.

call out!

He took out the dagger on his waist, pinched Qi Nian's fingers with two fingers, as if he didn't dare to touch her skin. He looked at Qi Nian with his eyes closed and said, "I didn't mean to take advantage of you. If I don't do this, you will be finished."

Mu Xiao said, holding her fingers tightly, and the dagger passed through it as quickly as possible. A trace of dark blood oozed out from Qi Nian's fingers. Then he cut all her fingers and Mu Xiao helped her up and sat upright. However, Qi Nian in a coma could not do it at all. As soon as Mu Xiao let go, she would fall to the ground.

There was no way, Mu Xiao cut down two tree branches to support her body on both sides, and finally supported her for the time being.

Mu Xiao sat cross-legged behind her, slowly stretched out his hands forward, and stopped two inches away from her body. A golden halo suddenly lingered in Mu Xiao's body and slowly poured into Qi Nian's back along his arm.

At this moment, I don’t have any energy to save me. I hope the girl in front of me will not destroy myself after waking up.
