Following Bai Xiaohei's line of sight, Huang Yun's gaze also locked onto the location of the cave. This cave entrance was not on the ground, but was about three meters above the ground, and there was a wooden scaffold outside the cave entrance. It seemed to be used by the quarry workers to enter and exit, but at the entrance of the cave, Huang Yun actually saw a shadow flash past.

Just as Huang Yun saw the figure, Bai Xiaohei had already ran towards the cave entrance. With his strength, he did not even need to climb a ladder to reach the three meter height of the cave entrance.

Seeing that Bai Xiaohei was actually able to chase after him like that, Huang Yun frowned, then gritted his teeth and followed after him. He was not worried about Bai Xiaohei's safety, but was worried about what kind of danger he would encounter if he stayed alone in this strange city.

Bai Xiaohei did not care about whether or not Huang Yun followed him from behind, after jumping onto the scaffold, he immediately rushed into the cave, and inside the cave, Bai Xiaohei saw 4 to 5 human figures.

These people were curled up at a corner four or five meters away from the cave entrance and were all trembling. Bai Xiaohei looked over and was stunned, because he discovered that these people were all actually children.

The oldest of the group looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was probably not even ten years old. The oldest was standing in front of the other four, holding a stick in his hand, as if to protect his comrades behind him.

Bai Xiaohei stopped and asked: "Are you people from the city?"

"You … Don't come over! I... I... I'll hit you! " The eldest child did not seem to hear Bai Xiaohei's words clearly. His hands that were holding the staff trembled non-stop, and his voice even trembled a little.

Seeing that the children were extremely afraid, Bai Xiaohei frowned, and the expression on his face became much softer, only to see that after patting the bell, a bag of pastries appeared in his hand. This was all for Bai Xiaohei to take back to the auction house to eat, but after so many things happened, Bai Xiaohei had forgotten about it, so now that he thought about it, he could finally take it out for the children to eat.

Seeing Bai Xiaohei take out something to eat, the eyes of the five children all shone, and they even subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. It was obvious that these children had not eaten anything in some time.

However, perhaps it was out of fear, but these children still did not approach Bai Xiaohei, as their eyes stared straight at the bag of pastries in his hands.

Realizing that the children did not dare to come over, Bai Xiaohei placed the pastries on the ground, and then slowly retreated back three to four meters. At the same time, Huang Yun also climbed up, and the moment he stepped up, he saw the few children curled up in the corner, and heard Huang Yun say with an astonished tone: "There's actually a living person?"

Perhaps it was because when they saw Huang Yun appearing, those children who were originally planning to come over to eat suddenly stopped in their tracks once again, and looked towards Bai Xiaohei and Huang Yun with expressions of fear.

"Don't be afraid! We are not bad people. Are you all hungry? You all should eat these pastries! " Bai Xiaohei raised his hand to signal Huang Yun not to walk any further, and then said to the children with a smile.

The children looked at each other and then ran towards the pastries without caring about their fear. They gathered together and stuffed the pastries into their mouths. It was obvious that they had been starving for a long time.

Seeing the children eating the pastries that he had taken out, Bai Xiaohei's tense expression relaxed a lot. The children being able to eat his food was evidently because they were less wary of him, and it would be easier for him to get whatever information he wanted from these children.

Bai Xiaohei raised his hand, gesturing for Huang Yun to stand still, and then he once again carried Liu Li and slowly walked towards those children. The oldest child was staring at Bai Xiaohei from the corner of his eyes, and when he saw Bai Xiaohei walking over, he hurriedly stuffed the pastries into his mouth and stood up to block the children's path.

"Don't worry!" We have no ill intentions, I am just a traveler passing by Giant Stone City to rest. Who knows, I would see the city turn into this state, can you tell me what exactly happened here? " Bai Xiaohei stopped when he was still two to three meters away from those children, and asked while smiling. He even handed over a water bottle as he asked.

The eldest child stared vigilantly at Bai Xiao Hei for a long time. Just looking at the appearance of Bai Xiao Hei, who was even smaller than him, made his vigilance relax slightly. The child reached out to take the water jug from Bai Xiao Hei, opened the bottle and took a sniff.

The child took the water canteen and gulped down the water. The older child turned around and spoke to Bai Xiaohei with a serious expression: "This place is finished. Leave this place quickly, or else when that guy wakes up, you will all be turned into stones."

"That guy?" Who do you mean? Was it the existence that would petrify the entire city? "Then what is it?" Bai Xiaohei heard the child's words, and his eyebrows twitched, before he asked with interest.

"I don't know what that thing is called. Anyway, that thing suddenly appeared in the mountain three days ago and drove all the workers out. In order to drive that thing out, the mayor sent the city guards to go in and kill that thing, but none of the guards that went in came out alive. "That thing seemed to be infuriated. Last night, a large amount of gray smoke was released from the mine, and all those people who were covered by the smoke turned into stones!" The child replied with a face full of fear.

"..." How come you didn't turn into stone? " Bai Xiaohei heard the child's words and frowned, then asked!

"Our fathers were all guards of the city, but they never returned after entering the cave. Other than our fathers, who had no mothers, when we were missing our fathers, we sneaked into the mountain to find the whereabouts of our fathers. Unlike the ones outside, we were not petrified in the mountain. As for that thing, it's right in the middle of the underground cave, it's like a giant lizard, with two spiral-shaped horns on both sides of its head, and a horn on its nose. The child explained.

Bai Xiaohei nodded his head, and Shitian's surprised voice sounded in his heart: "Could it be Dilong Beast? But this kind of dragon-shaped magical beast should only live in the Demon Beast Plain, right? Why would it appear within a human country? If it really was the Dilong Beast, then things would become troublesome! Xiaohei! Let's get out of here! Otherwise, when that guy wakes up, he won't be able to leave! "
