"Can we really get to the outside world?" Zhao Xin'er pulls the hem of Ning Xiao's clothes and says nervously.
"At least now this direction is toward the outside, but no one knows the specific direction of the crack inside..." Ning smiles and shrugs, he is telling the truth.
This kind of naturally formed crack is often zigzag. No one knows if it will be wound inside for a while, and then the crack will turn to the deeper part of the canyon.
"That is to say, we are faced with one more choice, which is to take the crack that now seems to lead to the outside, or to go deeper into the canyon, to face those terrible powerful beasts, to rush to the position that we can't reach at all, and then to escape?" Zhou Xiong looked at the crack in front of him and rubbed his chin.
"That must be the crack! At least there won't be any strange animals in this mountain, will there? If you go deep into the canyon, you'll be looking for death! " The dwarf didn't know when he was coming. He was so excited.
"Get out of here, there's no place for you to talk!" Zhou Xiong disgusted kick in the past, the dwarf directly kicked out.
The dwarf obediently got up from the ground, lowered his head and stepped aside. No one could see him. There was a trace of resentment in his eyes.
Looking at the mercenaries around, Ning said with a smile: "let's vote. This crack is a natural crack. No one can know what's inside. It's an unknown state. The only thing I can be sure is that there must be another exit in this crack. And if we continue to go deep into the canyon, there is an absolute way to escape from the sky, but we need to face the powerful beast, all the way to the canyon 15 miles! After all, we has the final say, and the minority is the majority.
He didn't incline to any road. Ning Xiao talked about the dangers of the two roads. After that, he looked at the mercenaries.
After a moment's silence, a mercenary said, "master Ning Xiao, don't say much. You decide. We'll follow you!"
"I've made money even now! Master Ning Xiao, if you decide, we'll follow you! "
"Yes! It's up to you, young master! "
"Yes, yes, it's the same anyway. It's luck on both roads, whatever!"
The mercenaries began to make a lot of noise, but they all expressed one meaning. They would rather laugh!
Ning Xiao had saved them twice before. In the hearts of these mercenaries, Ning Xiao was regarded as a leader. This kind of ambiguous choice, they directly chose to believe in Ning Xiao!
In the face of this situation, Ning Xiao did not expect that he could only smile bitterly, and then looked at Zhou Xiong and Zhao Xin'er.
"Look what I'm doing. Like everyone else, I believe you!" Zhao Xin'er smiles at Chongning and says confidently.
"Since everyone says so, you'd better decide, young master Ning Xiao!" Zhou Xiong opened his mouth and said, "we are all people who lick blood with the blade. We are not afraid of fighting with other animals or stepping into this unknown territory!"
Ning Xiao was moved, but also deeply felt a sense of responsibility, this kind of trust given to him by all people, is absolutely not experienced when he was a killer in the previous life!
"Well, considering the risk factors, let's take a night off tonight, collect enough fuel tomorrow, and then go into the crack to explore!" Ning Xiao thought for a while, and finally made up his mind, "even if it's wrong, we can return in time!"
In this way, the next action was decided. The mercenaries had no objection. After the decision, they began to rest.
There are five or six fires burning in the cave. All of them are asleep and snoring. Zhao Xin'er lies beside Ning Xiao, covered with wolf skin, and shrinks into a ball, just like a sleeping kitten. Zhao Lele sleeps with her head on Ning Xiao's thigh.
Looking at the crack in the distance where the breeze is still blowing, Ning Xiao threw a firewood in the campfire, hoping that this crack really leads to the outside world, so it's good!
It's no use thinking more. Ning Xiao closed his eyes and began to practice. Originally, he thought it would be better if he could practice in the Xishan gorge. He didn't expect that his wish would come true so soon
The aura in the canyon is very rich. When Ning Xiao wakes up the next morning, he can clearly feel his aura is so powerful!
The entrance of the cave has been opened, and the mercenaries are all busy. Some go out to look for fuel, and some stay to make torches. Only Fang Jun and his two dogs are still sitting there.
Fang Jun, a fool, didn't know that he passed out yesterday. It was his two good friends who did it and got along with them very well. He would rather smile than point it out, but just looked at it with a sneer.
Holding a bundle of torches, Zhou Xiong woke up with a smile and put down the torches. He said with a smile, "master Ning Xiao is really hardworking. He doesn't sleep this night. Has he been meditating all the time?"
"Ha ha, I'm used to it. How can I get rid of the title of waste if I don't work hard?" I'd rather smile.
"Who wants to say you are rubbish, young master? I'm Zhou Xiong's first one to disagree!" Zhou Xiong shook his head and handed over a wolf leg that had been roasted. "As far as you are concerned, I believe you will be able to prosper in the future."
"Thank you for your kind words." Ning Xiao took the wolf's leg and bit it.
Zhao xiner and Zhao Lele are also helping. They don't know how to make torches. They can only help carry them. Their hands are covered with ashes. Seeing Ning's smile, they smile at him and keep busy.
After eating the wolf legs, Ning Xiao also got up and joined in the production. The grease peeled from those silver moon wind wolves yesterday can be used. With this, the burning time of the torch can be doubled! It's a big help.
After tossing about for about an hour, all the grease was used up, and there were more than 100 torches in total. The mercenaries carried more than 10 torches on their backs, and they could use them for a long time.
All the people gathered in front of the crack. Looking at the dark crack, Zhou Xiong lit the torch and walked forward: "I'll take the lead!"
"No..." Ning Xiao stopped Zhou Xiong and sneered, "you two come here, go to the front, explore the way!"
Ning Xiao points to the two men, who are dwarfs and tall mercenaries!
Two people suddenly stare big eyes, can't believe of looking at rather smile, dwarf angry way: "why let us lead! You have abandoned us. We are not with you. You have no right to order us! "
"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Are you going to wait for us to explore the way first and then follow us?" Ning chuckled, "you've taken advantage of everything. I want to be beautiful! Either go in and explore the way, or I will kill you now! "
Just now when they were making torches, Ning Xiao helped them. Only these two guys and Fang Jun didn't work together. They made more than ten torches and hid them by themselves! The mercenaries have been upset for a long time. It's a great pleasure to say that now!
"We'll kill these two bastards without the young master's hands!" The mercenaries clamored.
Anger is hard to offend, two people can only stand up with a face of resentment, went to the position in front of the head.
"I'll follow them. Elder brother Zhou, behind you, Xin'er, Lele, you follow me. Everyone cheer up and use torches in groups of five. Take care of each other. Don't fall behind!" Ning Xiao lit the torch and sneered at the dwarfs. "Let's go in and light the torch yourself!"
Two people hate hate to see one eye rather smile, helpless light torch, stepped into the crack.
Looking at two people go in, rather smile holding torch, with some curiosity and some fear of two women followed up. Ning Xiao thought about it last night when dealing with these two guys. With the villainous nature of these guys, they would definitely follow behind to pick up peaches. How can Ning Xiao make them do what they want?
Let them find their way. If there is any danger, they will die first! If you see them stay in the last place, you can't be sure that they will run for their own lives and block everyone inside as their shield!
At the beginning, the crack was only one person wide, but after walking for a while, it was slightly widened, which could accommodate three people walking side by side. The stone walls on both sides were covered with water drops and moss. It felt slippery and disgusting, and there was some water under the feet from time to time, deep and shallow.
The inside of the crack is black. It's all illuminated by torch. At first, you can see the top of the crack, but after a while, there is only black above, and you can't see the top. Inside the air is very cold and humid, with a diffuse aura, but also with a cold taste.
This cold and humid aura seems to penetrate the bone marrow, which makes people feel chilly and shiver. Burning torch seems to have no temperature, in addition to light, a little temperature can not bring you.
"Hiss, it's cold!" Zhao Xin'er forced to wrap the wolf skin on her body, still shivering.
The dwarfs walking in the front are also shaking badly. Their lips are a little blue. The two of them were far away from the team, and they were at the front. Unlike the mercenaries at the back, they were crowded together and could be a little warmer.
Following the crack, you can't judge the direction at all. The only thing Ning Xiao can rely on is the compass in his hand. However, according to the compass, after they came in, they had turned more than 90 degrees in the short distance of a few miles!
That is to say, what Ning Xiao was most worried about happened. This crack, turning around, finally led to the inside of the Canyon!
But Ning Xiao didn't say it. Now that he has come in, he has to go to the end to see if there is any hope! Maybe the passage bends back and forth and finally goes out?
