The discovery of Akang and the others made the originally peaceful night tense.

The darkness and silence around them was like the calm before the storm. The three of them looked at each other and tiptoed back to the campfire.

Nan Guo didn't know when he came back, he got into the sleeping bag, his face was rosy, and his previous paleness and listlessness were swept away.

Between the crevices of his nails was dried maroon flower juice, and the corners of his mouth were full of red flower juice that hadn't been wiped clean.

Jiang Kun looked at him without paying attention.

He had seen this man pick up a lot of fruits and fallen flowers before, squeeze out the juice full of hands and pour it into his mouth, he looked like a madman addicted to it.

After drinking a lot of juice in this way, Nanguo's condition has obviously improved, but Jiang Kun has no curiosity about those juices—

Just by looking at Nan Guo's appearance, you can tell that this thing is like a stimulant. Even if the state can soar to the peak, it will be a double-edged sword that will lead to addiction and accidents.

Jiang Kun and the others sat around the bonfire in silence, and the scenes of the giant snake slough they had just seen hovered in their minds, like a lingering nightmare.

"Ah, let me tell you, it's not necessarily that bad... so many snakes sloughed off in a short while, they might have left long ago." Jiang Kun broke the silence and looked at Luo Qi and Akon.

Luo Qi was silent for two seconds and then said: "What you said makes sense, but the time for each snake to shed its skin is not fixed, usually every one to two months. Do you know when they will come back?"

Jiang Kun: "..."

"You saw that the snake over there has sloughed. It is seven or eight meters long, more than ten meters long. This is only the length of the snake slough. The snake that has shed its skin must be bigger than the snake slough... Maybe they can really swallow an adult People." Luo Qi said in a low voice.

Jiang Kun remained silent. The most frightening thing about snakes is that their bodies will grow until they die, but their skin cannot grow with it, so they have to molt again and again.

If the snake sloughs here are all left by the same snake, then the snake does not know how old it is.

"Do you want to talk to Mr. Ke?" A Kang asked in a low voice.

Jiang Kun looked at Lu Liran and Ke Ji, hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Let them rest for a night, and it won't delay anything for just one night."

Akang and Luo Qi nodded, and Luo Qi said: "Everyone will take turns to watch the night, first Akang, then me, and finally Jiang Kun, is that okay?"

Jiang Kun had no objection, and immediately wrapped up his clothes and fell to the ground to sleep, seizing every second.

A Kang said: "Don't worry, I will definitely guard."

Luo Qi patted Akang on the shoulder: "Call us if you have something to do."

A Kang responded, and sat by the campfire, and soon there were even snoring sounds from the side.

This place is like a paradise in a fantasy story. Although it is tens of meters deep underground, there are incredible huge flora growing, and it also has its own ecological system.

If it wasn't for the discovery of those snake sloughs, Akang wouldn't mind resting here for two more days.

He thought, took a deep breath, the air here has a strange smell, rotten fruit deposits all over the ground, sweet and smelly, the smell is weird, but it is not disgusting, but has an indescribable addiction.

Akang squinted his eyes, picked up a whole small red fruit on the ground like a ghost, fiddled with it in the palm of his hand for a long time, and brought it to his mouth hesitantly.

Fresh fruit, he saw the professor eat it, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?

He thought to himself, just as he was about to stuff it into his mouth, a hand suddenly stretched out horizontally and slapped it away with a "snap".

Akang was startled, and quickly looked over, and saw that Luo Qi didn't know when he would wake up.

"I..." Akon opened his mouth awkwardly.

"Want to become like Nanguo?" Luo Qi looked down at him, "I have already lost many players, I don't want to add you to the list of victims."

A Kang nodded quickly: "I see."

"Go to rest." Luo Qi said.

…

Nothing happened one night, and a bright beam of light poured down from the entrance of the cave above, waking up Akang and Luo Qi.

It's another fine day outside.

Jiang Kun nodded to the two who had just woken up, and said, "Here, I just boiled a pot of water, drink some."

They had no food in their hands, and when they woke up early in the morning, they felt empty in their stomachs, so they could only fill their stomachs with water to suppress their hunger.

Lu Liran also woke up from a deep sleep all night. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ke Ji's chin with a little stubble, a well-curved chin, and light-colored thin lips with obvious bite wounds and congealed blood scabs.

"Are you awake?" Ke Ji said, his voice still a little hoarse as if he hadn't slept all night.

Lu Liran propped himself up, the soreness from the muscles all over his body could not be ignored, he let out a soft hiss, looked at Ke Ji, the memory before he lost consciousness last night gradually came back—

His face was a little ugly: "I..."

"It should be the smell and pollen of the fermented fruits after they rot. There are problems with your pheromone itself, and you are more likely to be affected and stimulated." Ke Ji interrupted Lu Liran.

He looked at Lu Liran: "After this is over, let's go back to Solto and do a thorough inspection."

Lu Liran nodded, Huang Xing's medical level is just like this, otherwise he wouldn't have been delayed until now.

"How do you feel now?" Ke Ji asked gently.

"It's okay." Lu Liran said, he moved a little, and felt that his body was very refreshed, not sticky after sweating, probably Ke Ji helped him clean it up, thinking of this, the tip of Lu Liran's ears turned red unconsciously.

He cleared his throat and suddenly thought of something: "Then you haven't been affected?"

Ke Ji paused, his steel-blue eyes darkened slightly, and he said, "It's a bit affected, but it's resolved."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and lightly pecked at the corner of Lu Liran's lips, intersected his fingers, and deepened the kiss: "It's enough to have a good time."

Lu Liran only felt that the air was heating up again. Fortunately, the inhibitor and neutralizer still restrained his impulse. He took a deep breath, and the strange smell came into his mouth again. He quickly regained consciousness and stood up abruptly. He coughed lightly and said, "Leave this ghost place first."

"Ok."

The two cleaned up on the spot, Lu Liran opened the live broadcast room, and walked towards Jiang Kun.

After the live broadcast ended yesterday, the system settled a total of 7.126 million available popularity points, with a total of 51.318 million available.

[Brother Lu, good morning, Brother Lu! 】

[Squatting up! 】

[I don’t know when Brother Lu will be able to get out of this hole, it feels so depressing]

[I hope that Mr. Lu can leave a coordinate QAQ here, which can be listed as the fourth miracle of Desolate Star! 】

[A research institute upstairs? 】

[Laughing, this speech is only given by a research institute]

【It's our QAQ】

[Actually, it can be deduced that the anchor's behavior trajectory after landing is all in the live broadcast, and when the time comes to review the replay, you can still find the direction]

Lu Liran saw such an active barrage in the live broadcast room, but no one asked about the temporary shutdown of the live broadcast last night. It seems that the shutdown was done in time, so that no one could see him being too embarrassed.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Hi everyone, to be honest, I can't remember exactly how many nights we spent in the Ghost Forest Swamp. The time spent underground is hard to estimate, so just ignore it."

"We stumbled into a mysterious place behind the waterfall by mistake, and found many mysterious plants that we had never heard of before." Lu Liran said as he walked towards Jiang Kun.

He also collected some fruits and fallen flowers of Arhat God Grass, and it is estimated that his elder brother would also be very interested.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Ke!" Seeing Lu Liran approaching, Akang immediately stood up and greeted with some excitement.

Lu Liran slightly raised his eyebrows: "Why such a big reaction? Are you resting well?"

Luo Qi smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "It can't be considered good, we discovered something last night."

The three of them took Lu Liran and Ke Ji to the place where the snake slough was found last night. It was a little far away from the camp, and they didn't know how Akang walked so far last night.

When I was looking for people at night, there was no obvious sense of distance. After changing to daytime, I realized that this place was two to three hundred meters away from the camp.

Jiang Kun looked at Akang with some surprise: "What are you doing so far to piss?"

"...It was peeing at first, but then I saw that there seemed to be light here, so I came here out of curiosity." Akang scratched his head and said.

"Light?" Luo Qi was puzzled and asked Jiang Kun, "Did we notice the light when we came here?"

Jiang Kun shook his head and asked A Kang: "No way. What light did you see?"

"Didn't I trip over later, and then I didn't see the light when I got up...Maybe it's something like a fluorescent bug, eh." Akang was dejected, he tripped and fell, and rubbed off a lot A piece of skin, curiosity killed the cat.

Lu Liran frowned, and while Jiang Kun and the others were talking, they finally saw the layered giant snake slough.

He stopped in his footsteps, and his pupils shrank severely.

[Fuck, snakeskin? ? 】

[My god... this snake skin is almost as big as a car, right? ! 】

[Do you think this snake is big, or is it the big snake that Brother Lu and the others encountered before? 】

[It's hard to say... What if it's the same one? 】

[That would be embarrassing, the enemy is extremely jealous when they meet]

[Bah bah, don't crow your mouth]

[Brother Lu, run! 】

"This snake shouldn't come back so soon in a short time, right?" Jiang Kun looked at Lu Liran with a hint of luck.

Lu Liran glanced at Jiang Kun and pursed his lips: "These snakes seem to have been shedding for some time, how long will it be until the next time it will shed its skin... It's hard to say."

"Then we have to get out of here quickly!" Akang said quickly, his face turned pale when he heard this.

"Where do you want to go? This place is so big, there are several caves on half of the mountain wall, which way to go?" Jiang Kun looked at A Kang, who was obviously about to collapse, frowned, and suddenly slapped him Marking the man's forehead, "Calm down! What are you afraid of!"

Jiang Kun did not forget what Lu Liran said to him a long time ago. The caves in these underground caves extend in all directions, and the probability of being able to walk to the outside world along the cave entrance may be lower than winning the lottery.

If he chose a random path because of panic, he might be trapped in it for life and death.

A Kang's forehead turned red in an instant, wanting to cry but without tears: "I'm afraid it's human nature..."

[Kunzi, you have become a tiger, who gave you the courage]

[Answer, it's Brother Lu]

[Brother Lu:? 】

Lu Liran nodded and said, "It's really hard to tell which way can lead to the outside with these holes."

"But there is a very clear path right now." He changed the subject and pointed to the camp where they had stayed before.

Over there, because the entrance of the cave above the head sheds a beam of light, it looks very different in the entire huge and empty dark underground cave, like a ladder to heaven.

Jiang Kun opened his mouth, and those clusters of towering giant plants were as high as seven or eight floors!

"Put away these snake sloughs first." Lu Liran said to Jiang Kun, "Don't you want to be a bounty hunter? If you don't even know the most basic things that can be exchanged for money, I think you will die at a loss."

Jiang Kun froze for a moment, then realized, and quickly put all the snake sloughs in this place into the terminal.

The terminal instantly displayed a red full warning.

"How much can these be exchanged for?" Jiang Kun quickly followed Lu Liran's pace and asked in a low voice.

"Go to Xianjia Merchant Fleet to collect it, they should give you a fair price." Lu Liran said.

Xian Yu in front of the screen was extremely moved, Brother Lu still remembers them!

[Yes, yes, Xianjia Merchant Fleet, it is good to use it! —Salted fish, fish and fish give the anchor 1x Buddha jumping over the wall]

When Jiang Kun heard the words, he immediately wrote down: "Okay! But, don't you want it?"

"The terminal can't be put down." Lu Liran said, the use of the terminal's storage function is prohibited in his mission conditions.

"Then I'll sell it and share the money with you." Jiang Kun said immediately, and then grinned at Luo Qi and A Kang, "Whoever sees it has a share, you all have it!"

Luo Qi twitched the corners of his mouth, and sometimes he was quite envious of Jiang Kun's mentality, as if the height of the ladder was not a problem at all.

When the group returned to the campsite, Nanguo had already got up. He didn't know if he ate the fruit just now, his mouth was covered with bright red juice, which looked very strange.

He seemed a little excited. Seeing Lu Liran and the others come back, he grinned: "You are all here, come on, let me introduce you, this is the Arhat God Grass..."

"It doesn't matter what kind of grass it is, it's good grass that I can climb up." Jiang Kun pushed Nan Guo away, curled his lips in disgust, raised his head and squinted his eyes, and asked Lu Liran, "Do you really want to climb?"

"The side branches are staggered, there are many places to stay, and they can climb." Lu Liran said.

The corner of Jiang Kun's mouth twitched, and he muttered in a low voice: "There is nothing here that crawling can't solve."

Hearing Jiang Kun's muttering, Akang took it for granted: "Mr. Lu thinks that the path he can walk...is not the same as ordinary people's definition."

Lu Liran glanced at those people: "If you want to follow, I'll go first."

Jiang Kun and the others looked at each other, and Ke Ji followed closely. The two of them climbed to the first branch in the blink of an eye. Hold the weight.

Jiang Kun gritted his teeth: "Follow! There is no other way to choose!"

The three of them looked at each other and climbed up the huge and thick stalks one after another.

These towering divine grasses grow in one place, and the higher you go to the sky, the more intertwined the branches are, supporting each other, and it is much easier to climb than the bottom.

Even Nanguo climbed up, the more the group went up, the easier it was, the light from the cave entrance was magnified in front of their eyes, and everyone couldn't help smiling.

"Hey, look at these flowers, they are much more colorful than the ones below." Jiang Kun picked one at random and stuffed it into his bag, "It is said that this arhat grass is only this month, and it will take decades for it to bloom."

"No wonder I've never seen it before." Akang panted, stopped on a branch to rest, and waved his hands, "I'll take it easy and catch up later."

"Okay, just don't be caught up by that professor, you don't feel ashamed and I do." Jiang Kun joked.

Hearing this, Akang looked underground, they had already climbed a few meters away from the entrance of the cave, and the exit was just around the corner, and the progress of Nanguo was not bad, they had already climbed two-thirds of the way to the cave. place.

A Kang twitched the corner of his mouth, it was really possible that the professor could catch up with him.

"This person's physical strength is too unlike a professor." He muttered, "Is it something to do with his eating this fruit? I think it's definitely..."

Before he finished speaking, the stalk under him suddenly trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

Lu Liran immediately looked down, but they were too high, and the branches below were blocking them, so they couldn't see anything.

"What's the situation?" Luo Qi frowned and asked.

A Kang swallowed his saliva: "I don't know, I can't see clearly..."

"Don't ask so many questions, hurry up!" Lu Liran shouted.

Nan Guo glanced down, and seemed to see a faint forest green flashing among the densely layered branches underneath, as fast as an afterimage hallucination.

A chill suddenly rose from the soles of his feet.
