Chapter 140 That Place 6

  Everyone heard the sound, and they all rushed out of the tent with their weapons. Because of Wei You's matter earlier, no one had slept well, and it was only a short while after falling asleep that they were suddenly awakened by the commotion.

  When Wen Baiyu rushed out, he saw Qiong Qi running out of the next tent, shouting: "My mother, so many spiders! This is the voice of a spider!"

  Everyone hasn't seen the thing that makes a "rustling" sound, but as soon as Qiong Qi said it, it really did seem like a large number of spiders crawling on the ground, rapidly rushing over in this direction.

  That black figure rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant, it was right in front of them. Wen Baiyu was startled and opened her eyes wide, saying: "Ming Gui?!"

  The black shadow that rushed over was Minggui. Minggui's body was covered in dirt and looked a bit disheveled, with several bruises on his face. He rushed over quickly, spotted Qiongji standing among the crowd, and suddenly charged over. Before Qiongji could even speak, he was swept into Minggui's arms.

  Qiong Qi was almost strangled by Ming Gui, but at this moment the rustling sound behind them rushed towards them like a tide. Ming Gui suddenly let go and swung his arm backwards, and a series of "dang" sounds were heard as several golden needles flashed through the air, pinning all the spiders that had pounced over to the ground.

  "Spider wouldn't be chasing after you, would it?"

  Ming Gui didn't say anything, but he also tacitly agreed and immediately shouted: "Get the torch!"

  The spider was afraid of fire. When everyone heard the shout, they immediately rushed to the bonfire and scrambled to grab those burning branches.

  Spiders "pounced" over, in large pieces, black and oppressive, pouncing over, directly crushing the tent from above, the aluminum rod of the tent actually made a "bang!" sound, and collapsed directly. Wherever they passed, all the tents were gnawed out with holes, and the fabric on top made a "hissing" sound, it was clear that the spider's venom had strong corrosive properties.

  The crowd waved their torches, and the black feathers kept the seven drums that wanted to rush out behind them. The seven drums had a very violent expression, once they let out a loud roar, as if stimulated by the spider, wanting to rush out and fight, but the spider was not another beast, small and agile, and now already in groups, the seven drums rushed out absolutely can't get a good result.

  The torches could only ward off a portion of the spiders, and that was a passive defense. Those spiders, although unable to move forward, soon began to arrange themselves in a formation, surrounding them in a large circle, encircling all the people inside.

  Then the spider began to push/pull the big circle loosely and tightly, trying to turn the big circle into a small circle.

  Some spiders are like a daredevil team, disregarding the fire and rushing straight up. These spiders are like they have grown wings, jumping high into the air as if they can fly, and pouncing on people's faces.

  Wen Baiyu held the phoenix bone dagger in his hand, having already killed several spiders that had pounced over. Everyone was gathered together back to back, and Qiong Qi yelled out: "What the hell did you do to attract so many freaks!"

  Ming Gui's face was very calm and he said, "It's a long story."

  Suddenly, there was an urge to throw Minggui into a group of spiders.

  At this time, Qin Pei shouted loudly, and everyone looked over at him. They saw a spider suddenly jump up and pounce on him. Qin Pei dodged backwards, but his ankle bone was still not fully recovered. Just now, he had risked his life to save Wei Cui Shui, and now with this sudden movement, his ankle bone throbbed in pain, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

  Wei Qiu Shui rushed over from the side, suddenly raised his gun and fired at the spider "Bang!", but this spider was so cunning, and in mid-air it could change direction, making a Z-shaped curve, and actually dodged the bullet, still rushing straight towards Qin Pei.

  Qin Pei's face turned pale, at this time Wei Qian Shui suddenly pounced over, shielding Qin Pei under his body, while his hand swiftly struck back, the spider was knocked flying out, and a large lump immediately swelled up on the back of Wei Qian Shui's hand.

  Wei Baiyu saw it and said: "This is poisoning!" The people around him shouted loudly: "Brother Wei! Brother Wei!"

  Someone set up a water frame and hid behind it.

  Those spiders seemed to have found a breakthrough and all rushed towards Wei Youcai.

  "What's to be done? There are too many spiders!"

  Wan Kuang's eyes quickly swept across the ground and he suddenly said: "I have a way."

  He said, throwing the torch in his hand directly into the spider group. The spiders immediately dispersed, but their torches were not real torches, just temporary tree branches that would soon go out on the ground.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Throw them all away, throw them in one place!"

  Wen Baiyu first threw the torch in his hand, also throwing it at the place where he was about to extinguish it. The spiders had no choice but to disperse and surround the torch.

  Others also threw out their torches one after another until Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Enough!"

  Immediately, General Wan Xi Jing Hou picked up the camping gas cylinders on the ground. The camping gas cylinders contained compressed gases used for lighting stoves and cooking. Generally, after using up the camping gas cylinders, they would be tapped to release any remaining gas to prevent explosions in case of accidental ignition.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou rushed towards the spider group and directly threw the air tank over, the spiders of course did not recognize what an air tank was and didn't know to dodge.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou threw it out and immediately shouted: "Run, run!"

  Everyone watched as the gas tank was thrown out. Luo Kai's eyes widened and he said: "Damn, it's still intact and hasn't been used yet!"

  But before anyone could react, they all tightened their hearts and rushed towards the direction behind them. Those spiders saw that they were going to escape and began to compress the circle. At this moment, Wan Qi Jing Hou shouted: "Get down!"

  Everyone immediately covered their heads and lay on the ground, the gas tank was thrown into the fire, and another whole one, heated up, directly making a "Boom!!" sound, exploded.

  Under the moonlight, the colorful spider was blown up by the powerful air flow of the exploding gas cylinder and flew into the sky with a "whooshing" sound, as if it were raining spiders. The spider's corpse flew high into the sky before quickly falling back down. Many spiders were blasted to pieces, their internal organs flying everywhere, and venom splashing out in all directions.

  Everyone pulled over the collapsed tent, some pulled the blanket beside them, and they all covered themselves to avoid the toxic liquid like rain.

  Wan Kuangying pressed down on Wen Baiyu and said, "Don't lift your head."

  Wen Baiyu was held tightly by Wan Jingshou, with no gaps at all, and everything was pressed under his body. He didn't feel anything, but soon heard Wan Jingshou let out a "hiss" sound, definitely because the toxic liquid had splashed onto him.

  The ground shook violently from the explosion, and soon the sound of the explosion disappeared. After all, it was just a small gas tank, and there were no other things that could be detonated.

  The spiders died in large numbers, but some of them still pounced on the crowd. The people got up from the ground, grabbed the unextinguished torches, and for a time, the sound of gunfire and screams was continuous.

  A spider crawled up to the back of Qi Duan's neck and bit him, causing a large swelling. Qi Duan suddenly went mad, let out a loud roar, slapped the spider on his neck to death, threw it to the ground, stood still, stared with his eyes wide open, and made "hiss-hiss" sounds with his mouth.

  Qī Dǔ stared with his eyes wide open, and soon he lifted his head again, gazing at the sky. The blood moon hung high in the air, shrouded by the tree branches, making it appear hazy, yet a deep crimson color. Qī Dǔ's eyes became extremely profound, and a violent aura swept over him. He suddenly swung his hand and slammed it onto the trunk of a nearby tree.

  Just then, "Crack!" A loud noise was heard, and the thick tree trunk suddenly snapped in half, crashing down instantly, crushing a cluster of spiders.

  However, the spider's head was very small and couldn't be crushed to death. Wen Baiyu quietly stretched out her five fingers, and suddenly a spark flew from the fallen branches, igniting the flames as if they had met with oil. In an instant, the fire spread along the branches all the way to the trunk, and the huge flames scared everyone back several steps. Just then, the sound of "crackle! crackle! crackle!" was heard. The spiders that were pressed down hadn't even crawled out yet, but they had already been engulfed in the sea of fire. Only a small portion of the spiders remained, and those spiders seemed to sense that the situation was unfavorable, so they quickly retreated.

  Luo Kai saw that the fire was too big and was about to spread to other trees, so he shouted: "Quickly put out the fire!"

  Many people brought fire extinguishers, but they were too heavy and had been abandoned at the campsite earlier. When Wen Baiyu and others arrived, they also found them too heavy, so they only picked up food and water.

  They have very little water and absolutely cannot use water to put out the fire, but this is a forest with too much vegetation. If they don't put out the fire, they will also be burned to death later on.

  Just as everyone was in a state of panic, Wen Baiyu secretly withdrew her five fingers, and the flames that had been burning fiercely earlier slowly went out, extinguished by the wind.

  Everyone looked at each other in confusion, some of them staring at the large tree that had automatically gone out.

  Qin Pei supported Wei Qian Shui and said: "He seems a bit off, is the spider poisonous?"

  Wei Qiu Shui could no longer sit still, collapsed to the ground, his hand swelled up a big chunk, panting with effort, making "hēng-hēng" sounds from his mouth, as if he was about to stop breathing.

  Ming Gui immediately walked over, took out a few golden needles, and stabbed them into Wei Qiu Shui's body. The toxins in Wei Qiu Shui were immediately suppressed, and Wen Bai Yu also dripped some of Ai Ai's tears onto his wound. Ai Ai's tears were very effective, and the swelling quickly subsided. The toxins did not spread further, and Wei Qiu Shui's breathing gradually stabilized.

  It's not just Wei Yu who was poisoned, others were also poisoned. Everyone shared some egg tears and then went to help others detoxify.

  Seven steps back, "thud!" A sound leaned against a tree trunk, revealing sharp fangs, panting heavily, he reached out to touch the swollen lump on the back of his neck, the pain made him furious, the temperature in his mouth was very high, and the air he panted out carried white mist.

  Kuroba saw Nanatsu standing on the side, and Nanatsu didn't show too many signs of poisoning, nor did he become weak like others after being poisoned, but his emotions were extremely unstable.

  Hei Yu Mao looked at Qi Du, beckoning him over. Qi Du leaned against the tree trunk and swallowed hard, calming his breath before running over to Hei Yu Mao with a eager gaze.

  Hei Yu Mao glanced at the bite marks on Qi Duan's neck, which had been hidden by his growing hair after several days in the desert.

  Hei Yu Mao stretched out his hand and brushed aside the scattered hair below, his fingers grazing against his neck, and Qi Bai immediately let out a "hiss".

  "Does it hurt?"

  Qī Dǔn immediately shook his head.

  Black feather grasped his shoulder and said: "Turn around."

  Qī Dǔ immediately obeyed, turning his body around to face away from Hei Yu Máo, who still had his hand on Qī Dǔ's shoulder. Suddenly, he lowered his head slightly.

  Qī Dǔn immediately let out a "Hoo—!" sound, his throat continuously slid/moved, his chest rapidly rose and fell, the wound on the back of his neck was burning with a fiery pain, there was a strong burning sensation, the black feathers surprisingly stretched out their tongue/head to gently lick his wound.

  Qī dǔn hadn't felt any pain, but he had a strange feeling that all his blood was gathering in his lower body, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. His eyes were getting darker and darker, and suddenly he turned around and hugged Hei Yuemao tightly.

  Black feathers collided with his deep blue eyes, narrowing his smile and saying: "The wound is not healed yet, turn around."

  Qī Dǔ was panting heavily, opening his mouth to reveal his sharp teeth, wanting to kiss Hei Yu Mao. However, Hei Yu Mao tilted her head back, and Qī Dǔ's anxious kiss landed on her chin instead, which only made him more agitated.

  "Heishu said: 'Shh... listen, turn around, let me take a look at your wound.'"

  He panted heavily, but still couldn't help it, his sharp teeth chattered and bit his lips, suppressing the urge to move, honestly turned around, lowered his head, and let Black Feather see the wound on his neck.

  The wound has subsided and is starting to heal. For the past seven years, she had not seen sunlight as she was locked in a tomb, so her skin was very pale. However, over the past few months of following Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou around, coupled with Qidie's active nature, her skin has started to take on a slightly wheatish hue.

  Black feathers fixed gaze at the wheat-colored skin, which had completely dissipated, and his neck seemed to have not been injured at all. Black feathers lowered its head again, stretched out its tongue/head and licked/kissed his neck back and forth, occasionally sucking a few times.

  His body trembled violently, his breathing grew coarser and coarser, and there was even a low growl in his throat, but he didn't move at all, honestly carrying his back.

  Hei Yu Mao smiled with his eyes narrowed at this time, stretched out his hand to pinch Qi Kun's chin, looking into Qi Kun's deep blue eyes and said: "Alright."

  Seven pairs of eyes stared at the black feathers, opened their mouths, stretched out their tongues and licked their fangs, which were all covered in blood, as were their lips, definitely from biting themselves earlier.

  Qī Dǔn just stuck out his tongue/head, and Hei Yǔmáo immediately opened his mouth and took in Qī Dǔn's tongue/head. Qī Dǔn's eyes widened, a pair of narrow wolf-like eyes that were staring intensely, almost unbelievably so. The two tongues entwined with each other, Qī Dǔn's breathing grew heavier, he reached out to grab Hei Yǔmáo's hair, grasping it tightly in his hand, rubbing it back and forth in his palm, making "Hā——hā——" sounds with his mouth.

  The black feather's tongue/head just withdrew, and the seventh tongue/head caught up, but only lightly licked the black feather's lips twice, and then remained still, staring at the black feather's eyes, with hands still kneading his hair.

  Hei Yu Mao seemed very pleased with Qi Yun's obedience, reaching out to ruffle his hair.

  Wen Baiyu was treating the wound for someone when he suddenly heard a strange noise. He turned his head and was shocked, his mind racing with "thumping" sounds. He saw Hei Yu Mao and Qi Duan embracing each other, kissing passionately.

  Wen Baiyu rubbed her temples and quickly treated the wounds on her hands.

  Everyone finished dealing with the aftermath and sat around in a circle, rekindling the fire. No one dared to sleep again. Wen Baiyu asked Ming Gui: "How did you provoke so many spiders?"

  Ming Gui let out a sigh, it turned out that after they got separated from the campsite, Ming Gui had been searching for others but hadn't found anyone. He headed northwest, hoping to reunite with the main group, but there was no sign of them. Not far away, there was a temple, which looked strange - it wasn't Tibetan Buddhism, nor Buddhist, nor Taoist, but rather seemed like an ancestral temple. The walls around it were made of skulls. After Ming Gui entered, he stepped on a brick, which collapsed, and countless spiders poured out from underneath.

  "What kind of temple is this?" asked Wen Baiyu upon hearing "the walls all around are full of holes".

  Wan Xi Jing Hou also shook his head and said: "We can go take a look early tomorrow morning."

  Everyone looked at their watches, and it was almost dawn. Although it was almost dawn, it was still very dark, and the dense forest made people afraid to move forward in the dark, so they could only sit together and wait for daylight.

  Qiong Qi and Ming Gui both told each other how they got separated, it seemed that the big fog was to blame. Qiong Qi said that at the time he heard Ming Gui's voice calling out to him, telling him to run forward, but as a result, he fell into a flower thicket.

  Ming Gui listened with a look of astonishment and said: "I couldn't even find you at that time, how could I let him run forward?"

  It seemed that both of them were hallucinating at the time, but Qiong Qi was more unlucky and stepped into a poisonous flower cluster, while Ming Gui lay down in a spider's nest.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This place is too eerie, I don't know how others are doing."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou said: "How did you come out of the ancient city's underground tunnels?"

  Ming Gui said: "Return by the original road."

  He paused, saying: "I originally thought that the predecessor of the Mo Pai was in the Western Queen Mother's country, but after entering that cave, I realized that I was wrong. No wonder the classics of the Western Queen Mother's country recorded these mechanical skills very vaguely. I thought it was deliberately mysterious, but those mechanical skills were not from the Western Queen Mother's country, but from those tribes that worshiped the full moon."

  Wen Baiyu doesn't know much about Qigong and hasn't read any classics of the Mo Pai, so he's not very familiar with these things.

  Ming Gui seemed to have discovered some major secret, but for this mysterious tribe that had disappeared from history for nearly three thousand years, he was even more unclear, except for the pit, there was no place to start investigating.

  Everyone was exhausted, they had encountered too much that night, repeatedly injured, and paralyzed on the ground. Although they wanted to sleep, no one dared to sleep.

  Wen Baiyu raised her head and saw Hei Yu Mao, who was using a branch to stir the fire. Qi Du was squatting on one side, his deep blue eyes staring at Hei Yu Mao, not blinking or moving his eyelids.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but feel a little worried thinking about Hei Yuemao and Qi Duan's kiss earlier, neither of them understood anything, they were both innocent.

  Wen Baiyu coughed slightly and wanted to take advantage of the time before dawn to educate his young son.

  Wen Baiyu coughed, and Hei Yuemao immediately turned his head around. Before Wen Baiyu could even greet him, he walked over and sat down beside him, taking a blanket to drape over Wen Baiyu's shoulders.

  Wan Baiyu thought to herself, her little son was indeed considerate. Wan Baiyu then thought about where to start, and as a result, she saw that Hei Yu Mao's hair was slightly disheveled. She turned around and rummaged through her backpack, digging all the way to the bottom, before finally pulling out a comb. This was still a disposable comb they had brought from the hotel. As big men, after entering the desert, no one had used this kind of thing, so it had been stuffed at the very bottom.

  Wen Baiyu held the comb, and Hei Yu's eyes blinked once before he voluntarily turned his back to her, then sat cross-legged on the ground, as if asking Wen Baiyu to comb his hair.

  The black hair is straight and long, slightly combed to be smooth, with a soft and silky feel, yet very elastic, indeed a feeling that makes people love it.

  Hei Yu Mao was very honest, sitting still and quiet, as if combing his hair was a novel and meaningful action. As he combed, it felt quite comfortable. Hei Yu Mao closed his eyes, his voice low and husky, with a deep sense of maturity, saying: "Dad has something to say?"

  Every time Warm White Feathers hears Black Downy call him "Dad", he feels his liver trembling. Although he knows that Black Downy is the youngest son, this visual and auditory impact is too huge, just like an earthquake, no, it's a heaven-shaking and earth-splitting event!

  Wen Baiyu coughed slightly, and when she raised her head, she saw Qi Duan squatting beside the fire heap, staring at her with wide eyes, fixated on her black hair, seemingly wanting to comb it as well.

  Qī Dǔn stood up, and Hei Yu Mao didn't move, only placing his hands on his knees, tapping his index finger slightly. Qī Dǔn immediately showed a dejected expression, then quickly curled up beside the fire pit again, still staring at this side with wide eyes.

  Wen Baiyu rolled her eyes and said, "This is no wolf god, this is clearly a big dog!"

  Wen Baiyu coughed again and said, "Do you like Qi Duan?"

  Hei Yu Mao tilted his head back, leaning against Wen Bai Yu's shoulder, his hair falling to both sides, revealing a pair of narrow eyes and a slightly angular chin. His face, unobscured by his hair, looked somewhat cold and detached. A hint of puzzlement flickered in his black eyes as he asked, "What is liking?"

  Wen Bai Yu Xin said, indeed!

  The son is too young, although he is taller than himself, but he absolutely doesn't understand anything, and the seven-year-old doesn't understand either. These two people are completely relying on instincts to get along with each other.

  Wen Baiyu was heartbroken, thinking to himself that he must be a good father and educate Wan Qi Xiaohei, telling him that kissing is only for people you like.

  Wen Baiyu put on a benevolent elder's demeanor, and before he even opened his mouth, he heard Xiao Hei say: "I just want to kiss him, every time I kiss him, I feel uncomfortable down there, is that wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu's old face suddenly turned red, and he pulled Wan Jingshou, who had a "none of my business" expression on his face, saying: "Look at your son, as soon as he was born, he has the same behavior as you!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled slightly and kissed Wen Bai Yu's lips, saying: "Who let the son inherit my excellent genes?"

  Wen Baiyu muttered to herself several times, then turned her head and said "kindly" to Hei Yu Mao: "Little Black, you can only do this kind of thing with someone you like, understand? Liking someone means... you want to spend your whole life with just that one person, and if they're not there, it's hard to bear..."

  Wen Baiyu was suddenly at a loss for words, while Wan Qi Xiaohei still had an expression of incomprehension on his face. However, he listened very seriously, with a perfect and mature face that looked similar to Wan Qi Jinghou's, staring at Wen Baiyu with great pressure.

  Wen Baiyu looked at Wan Jijinghou with a pleading expression, and Wan Jijinghou was smiling slyly. Wen Baiyu discovered that his four eggs indeed inherited more of Wan Jijinghou's traits. Although Wan Jijinghou rarely narrowed his eyes to smile, when he did, it bore an 80% resemblance to Xiao Hei, both exuding an air of deep scheming.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and placed it on the shoulder of Hei Yu Mao, because their height and build were almost identical, they didn't look like father and son at all, but rather like brothers...

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "I ask you, if you see Qi Yue and someone else being intimate/kissing, how do you feel?"

  Wen Baiyu's eyes twitched as soon as he heard it, and he always felt that Wan Jinhou was not educating his children...

  Hei Yu Mao was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth didn't curl up, instead they were pursed and slightly downturned, making his whole face look very gloomy. A cold glint flashed in his dark pupils as he said, "I don't know."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou raised an eyebrow, and Hei Yu Mao said: "I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now, a bit... I don't know how to say it either."

  As he spoke, his hands, which had been resting on his knees, suddenly clenched into fists, causing the joints to crack with a loud "crack" sound. Wen Baiyu's temples throbbed even more painfully, and in his heart, he thought: Son, this behavior of yours is not just uncomfortable, it's a manifestation of extreme rage!

  Seven lazily lay by the fire, and when he lifted his head, he found that Black Feather was staring at him. His eyes lit up as he looked over, almost sticking out his tongue/head. However, Seven soon discovered that Black Feather's gaze was a bit off, staring at him with an icy coldness, mysteriously flashing with a chill...

  Wan Xi Jing Hou patted the back of Hei Yu Mao and said: "You're uncomfortable in your heart, it's a sign that you like Qi Du. Conversely, if Qi Du likes you, he won't want you to do this kind of thing with others. If someone really thinks they like another person, then it's a lifelong matter. Perhaps our lifetime is very long. What do you think?"

  Hei Yu Mao didn't say a word, but quickly stood up and walked away, heading towards Qi Duan.

  Wen Baiyu grabbed the back of Wan Jie's neck from behind and pulled him backwards, saying: "Wan Jie, you bastard, I'm educating my son here, why are you dragging me down!"

  Wan Jingshou tapped on Wen Baiyu's elbow, and his strength immediately loosened. Wan Jingshou stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms, pressed him onto his leg, and kissed him twice, saying: "Son really likes Qi Du, do you want to be a mandarin duck?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "I don't have any, I'm just afraid they won't understand anything!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou smiled and said with his nose tip touching Wen Bai Yu's, "Bai Yu really has more and more of a fatherly feel to him?"

  Wen Baiyu's face turned red because his four sons were all quite special, and as their father, he was almost a absentee landlord, making it seem easier to do things this way, without worrying or exerting himself.

  They were talking, and the black feather had already walked past. Qi Duan happily jumped up from the ground, but before he could speak, the black feather said with a gloomy face: "Come here."

  Qī dǔn somewhat puzzled, deep blue eyes staring at the black feathers, but still honestly followed the black feathers into the tent.

  Wen Baiyu looked up at Hei Yuemao's gloomy face and said, "The analogy you made earlier, did our little Black really become true?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou raised an eyebrow and said: "It's just a simple analogy."

  Wen Baiyu's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he said, "But our son is a bit too serious..."

  Wen Baiyu silently gave Qi Duan a wax point in her heart, looking at Xiao Hei's face. Qi Duan didn't have a good time tonight, and she didn't know if she could see the sun an hour later...

  Wen Baiyu thought to herself, it's all Wan Kuangjinghou's fault, he doesn't care about his own affairs...

  Danzi was sitting in Xiao Chonglong's arms, and said to the small feather that poked out of his backpack: "Brother, brother, my little brother and QiQi went out to play, I want to go too!"

  The little feather finally has a younger brother, and in the eyes of the little feather, the younger brother looks very cute. The little feather is always a younger brother control, and also fights to enter the account tent.

  Xiao Chui Long and Xiao Xue Mu Hua each held one, blocking the two little ones from rushing into the tent, pulling them back with all their might.

  Soon, a low growl was heard from inside the tent. Dan Dan blinked his big eyes and said: "Is brother fighting with Qi Qi?"

  Xiao Chui Long rubbed his temples and said, "Go to sleep quickly, it will be dawn soon."

  "Stop fighting, it's not good for kids."

  Xiao Zhu Long: *silence*

  Because of Wan Xi Jing Hou's analogy, Qi Di suffered a bit, he didn't know what he did, anyway Hei Yu Mao's attitude was somewhat violent/cruel, fiercely biting his lips until they bled, the bloody taste excited Qi Di even more.

  Hei Yu Mao only knew to kiss Qi Ba's lips, the two tongues entwining back and forth. At most, they kissed Qi Ba's neck, holding his Adam's apple and licking it back and forth. Qi Ba's lips were covered in hickeys, his neck was a mix of blue and red, both people were panting heavily. Qi Ba was being sucked on the neck by Hei Yu Mao, he suddenly shuddered violently, and directly went limp on the ground.

  Hei Yu Mao also had the blood of a dragon, so his physique was naturally very strong. Qi Duan just fainted after being kissed by him. After all, Qi Duan had been locked in prison and didn't understand anything, nor had he experienced these things before. A pair of deep blue eyes couldn't withstand the fatigue and fell asleep directly. Hei Yu Mao looked at his difficult yet comfortable expression, kissed Qi Duan's forehead, still feeling uncomfortable below, took two deep breaths to restrain his emotions, looked at Qi Duan's sleeping face, and slowly calmed down.

  Everyone was dazed, and after dawn broke, they all woke up immediately. Wen Baiyu stared at the tent for an hour, wondering what had happened inside. His little black bird had just cracked its shell, it wouldn't be that easy to get rid of Qi Duan, would it?

  In the morning, everyone started to make a fire and cook breakfast. Wen Baiyu couldn't help but want to take a peek inside the tent, but was afraid of seeing an awkward scene. In the end, she still lifted up one corner of the tent and took a sneak peek inside.

  Qī Dǔn lay on the ground, with a "haggard" look, Wēn Bái Yǔ had never seen Qī Dǔn looking haggard before!

  Qī Dǔn's lips were swollen, his neck was covered in hickeys, and he had almost reached the level of Wàn Qí Jǐng Hóu. His pants were still a bit wet.

  Wen Bai's eyelid twitched and she said, "You won't really go through with it, will you? Is Qi Duan running a fever?"

  "What's going on after all?" said Hei Yu Mao strangely.

  Wen Baiyu looked at him like that, seemingly unsure of what to do, and only then slightly put down his guard, saying: "You heat up some hot water and have Qi Duan wipe himself clean, he's all..."

  Wen Baiyu's old face turned bright red, and he really couldn't say anything more.

  Hei Yu Mao nodded and came out of the tent, bringing back some hot water, but their water was limited and they couldn't get much.

  Wen Baiyu and others came in, then went out, Qi Du was still not awake.

  Qī Dǔn was the first time to vent, can't help but react a bit more, and accumulated too much, I guess the physique is also different from ordinary people. His pants were wet, Hei Yu Mao changed him into another one. Qī Dǔn felt warm all over his body, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Hei Yu Mao bowing his head to wipe his body with a damp towel, his movements very gentle, his black hair falling down, covering his sharp and cold face.

  Seven couldn't help but reach out and scratch the black-haired one's head, then put his hair in the palm of his hand and rub it, before grinning foolishly.

  Wen Baiyu walked out of the tent and let out a deep sigh. Wan Jijinghou asked, "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "The son understands too quickly, don't teach him anymore, did you hear that?!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou smiled and said: "I only teach good things, I never teach bad things."

  Hei Yu Mao helped Qi Duan wipe his body, put on his clothes, and the two of them came out to eat. Dan was being held in Xiao Zhan Long's arms and fed, saw Hei Yu Mao and Qi Duan come out, immediately "ah"ed twice, then stared with big eyes, saw the mark on Qi Duan's neck, pouted, frowned, and said with a disapproving face: "Why did you fight with Qi Qi?"

  Hei Yu Mao was taken aback for a moment, reached out and touched the egg's forehead, saying: "We didn't fight."

  Seven enthusiastic nods of approval.

  "Egg/Egg pouted and said: 'Still want to cheat Egg/Egg, let's fight! QiQi's neck is all bruised! Fighting isn't good for kids, brother/brother hurry up and apologize to QiQi! Mmm..."

  Xiao Zhu Long: *silence*

  Xiao Chong Long couldn't help but dig up a spoonful of rice and stuff it directly into Egg's mouth, blocking all his words.

  The egg looked at Xiaolong with an unfulfilled gaze.

  Qī dǔn was a bit unnatural on his face, stretched out his hand to touch his neck, and it seemed to be quite painful.

  Hei Yu Mao narrowed his eyes and smiled, grasping Qi Kun's wrist. Qi Kun's hand wasn't small either, but Hei Yu Mao's large hand gripped it tightly, saying: "Sorry, I was a bit uncomfortable yesterday, next time I'll be gentler, okay?"

  His face looked even more unnatural, but he still stared at the black-haired man's face in a daze, reached out to ruffle his hair, and then nodded honestly, smiling foolishly.

  Wen Baiyu watched from the side, feeling that Qi Du was beyond salvation. It seemed like Hei Yuemao had devoured him whole, and yet his own little Hei had only hatched less than a day ago, but already knew how to say "sweet nothings". He was molded from the same template as Wan Kuang Jing Hou, speaking without even a slight stutter, smooth as silk. Adding to that, Hei Yuemao's naturally mischievous face left Qi Du completely defenseless.

  Egg/Egg saw his younger brother/younger brother apologize, only then did he nod in satisfaction, with a big-brotherly attitude...

  After everyone finished eating, they prepared to continue on their journey.

  Minggui led the way in front, and the crowd continued to head northwest. They walked for a whole morning without finding the cave wall that Minggui had mentioned earlier.

  According to Meiko's recollection, he stepped on the switch, spiders swarmed out, and then ran all the way here. The fact that Meiko was able to run over means it wasn't too far away. Even if Meiko had incredible physical strength, she wouldn't have been able to run too far.

  But they walked for a whole morning and didn't find the skull wall. The explanation is actually very simple - they got lost...

  The poison on Qiu Qi's body hadn't been completely cured, he was so tired that he couldn't move, and sat on the ground saying: "Dead Face, are you going to make it or not?!"

  Ming Gui held the compass in his hand, but it was very unstable. There must be some kind of interfering magnetic field in the woods that made the needle point in a different direction than before, causing Ming Gui's brow to furrow.

  Wen Baiyu looked and said, "Have we taken a wrong turn?"

  Ming Gui said: "No, there's interference here."

  Others also took out their compasses, the needle of the compass was shaking constantly, and strangely, everyone's compass pointed to different directions, it was like seeing a ghost!

  Wan Ji Jing Hou said: "The overall direction is not wrong, but we have already walked into a trap."

  "What does this mean?"

  Wei You's body was somewhat weak, it was unclear whether it was due to old age/illness that weakened him or if he had been poisoned by a spider and was weak, after walking a few steps he would break out in cold sweat, his face deathly pale.

  Wei Qianshui said: "There's a mechanism here, which means we've already found the general location. Otherwise, why would they set up a misleading trap here?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou raised his head to look at the sky, and the trees here were indeed very cleverly arranged, growing in a complex and intricate manner. It was extremely difficult to see the sun on top of their heads, and it had been like this for several days now, with the sun hiding behind the clouds all along, making it impossible to use it to determine direction.

  Also because there are too many trees, the direction cannot be identified by the growth of the trees. This is a clever layout that traps them here.

  Everyone was somewhat exhausted, and the compass pointing in different directions created a terrifying atmosphere. Many people in the team were not experts, they just followed Qin Pei to play around, rarely opened ancient tombs, let alone survived in the primitive forest, each one was weak and powerless.

  Many people sat on the ground panting, while others were distinguishing directions. Qi Du suddenly shouted loudly, and Hei Yu Mao frowned, saying: "There's a sound."

  As he spoke, a burst of fireworks suddenly shot up into the sky, and after they exploded, a large golden character actually appeared.

  Ink.

  Everyone could only recognize the characters made of fireworks through the gaps in the trees.

  The bright ghost didn't need to look carefully and immediately said: "It's a distress signal from the Mo faction."

  Wen Baiyu said: "What is Mo Yi?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "The signal is near, let's hurry."

  The crowd rushed forward immediately, and others followed, pulling their luggage to run forward, fearing that if they fell behind, they might encounter some strange things again.

  The crowd kept running forward, and soon they heard a "whooshing" sound. Wen Baiyu felt the wind on his head, as if something had flown over him quickly. Wan Jiahao hugged him from behind and both of them rolled to the ground, rolling forward quickly at the same time. Meanwhile, Wan Jiahao's hand swooped down and grabbed something.

  Wen Baiyu fixed her eyes on it and took a closer look, and indeed it was a snake!

  The snake was about three or four centimeters in diameter, with a very large head. Wan Zongjinghou pinched the snake's mouth shut, forcing it to open wide and reveal its fangs, which were unable to close, and could only keep spitting out venom.

  At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the front, and someone rushed towards them. It was indeed Mo Yi, who was holding An Ran in his arms. An Ran lay in his arms with one hand hanging down, looking a bit dazed, with purple and green marks on her hand that extended upwards, and two blood holes on the back of her hand, obviously bitten by a snake.

  Mo Yi saw everyone and immediately widened his eyes, then rushed over, saying: "Wen Baiyu, quickly save An Ran!"

  Mo Yi put An Ran on the ground, and An Ran seemed to be forcing herself to stay awake, but she was already at the edge of exhaustion, her expression extremely dazed.

  Mo Yi put An Ran down, and then a hissing sound came from behind, a group of snakes curled up and chased after them. Ming Gui's hand shook, and a row of golden needles were thrown out, directly pinning the snakes to the ground. The snakes struggled and rolled their bodies, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't shake off the golden needles, and were pinned to the ground, constantly growing fangs and roaring.

  The golden needles of the Ming ghost were limited, and those hidden in his hands and wrists had been used up. There weren't many left on his body either. However, there were a lot of snakes, appearing in droves, weaving a large net that kept pouncing on them.

  At this time, the sudden sound of "shasha" was heard again, as if someone was rushing wildly. The snake coiled over and a dark shadow rushed out from behind. Xie Linxiao and Ye Liuxiang suddenly rushed out of the dense thicket, stretching out their hands to grab something. Xie Linxiao looked weak, but he had a tall and strong build. Everyone had seen his skills in the ancient well before, and he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

  Xie Lin rushed over, grabbed the snake that was pouncing on him with one hand, grasped the snake's head with the other to prevent its sharp teeth from biting down, and at the same time, his other hand grasped the snake's seven inches. His palm turned into a claw, and with a "pa" sound, he directly tore the snake's seven inches apart. With a flick of his wrist, he threw the mangled snake to the ground.

  Immediately following were four "dang" sounds, countless steel balls fell from the sky, knocking down all the snakes that had fallen from the tree to the ground, and the snake heads were all flattened, some of them were smashed into a pulp, it can be seen how great the arm strength was.

  Qī Sān Yé also rushed out of the thicket, holding a small white fox in his arms. The little fox's leg was injured, and its white fur was covered in blood. It didn't look like it had been bitten by a snake, but rather scratched or clawed.

  Wen Baiyu was no longer surprised to find that everyone had gathered, An Ran's condition was not good, the snake venom seemed very overbearing, and An Ran had previously entered "that place" and suffered a shock, not only did she have no memory, but her body was also extremely weak, now she could no longer withstand the torture of the snake venom.

  The crowd quickly surrounded Wen Baiyu and An Ran, Wen Baiyu quickly used a knife to make a cross-shaped cut on the back of An Ran's hand, squeezed out blood with force, then quickly lowered her head and sucked hard on An Ran's wound.

  Because of the pain, An Ran suddenly shook violently and quickly regained consciousness. "Huh?" she exclaimed in surprise, saying: "Wen... Wen Baiyu?"

  Wen Baiyu let out his blood, saw An Ran was conscious, breathed a sigh of relief, then dripped the tears of the egg on An Ran's wound, and found the antidote in the backpack, injected it into An Ran.

  Tears and plasma both worked, Anran soon calmed down, her breathing no longer so urgent, but still very weak.

  Because there were many people, the snakes rushed over and were quickly eliminated. The remaining snakes all ran away.

  Poor Qi saw a group of snakes running away, wiped the sweat and said: "When the dead face comes, it brings a group of spiders. When you come, it brings a group of snakes. It seems that I am still the most worry-free."

  He finished speaking, and Qi Di was the first to protest. Jin Qi didn't bring any moving creatures, but he brought a bunch of poisonous thorns instead, and wanted to waste Hei Yu's blood to neutralize the poison.

  Everyone was exhausted, especially Mo Yi, who had been holding An Ran and running wildly. His face was covered in sweat as he rushed over to her, grasping her hand and asking, "An Ran? How are you?"

  An Ran himself had already fallen asleep, but was woken up by Mo Yi's shake. With tired eyes, he said: "It's all right, Master..."

  An Ran spoke with great difficulty. Wen Baiyu said, "Don't disturb him, let him rest. An Ran is physically weak now, and you're also injured. Come and get bandaged."

  Mo Yi seemed extremely worried about An Ran and didn't even want to go bandage his own wound.

  After a fierce battle, the crowd was exhausted and sat down on the ground. To prevent the snakes from coming again, they also lit up the fire pit. It happened to be noon now, so they set up their cooking utensils and cooked rice over the fire.

  Qī Sān Yé hugged the little fox, and the little fox's leg was also injured, it was a scratch wound. Looking at the little fox's leg, it seemed to be numb, probably due to the White Skin Dumpling. Qī Sān Yé nodded when asked, saying: "This place is very evil, with many Guan (a type of supernatural being) and White Skin Dumplings."

  Wen Baiyu listened and felt that Wan Kuang Jinghou was right, perhaps there was something around.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Have you found Luo Qifeng and Xie Yan?'"

  As soon as these two people were mentioned, Xie Linxiao and Ye Liuxiang both looked ugly and shook their heads.

  Wen Baiyu took out Xie Yan's wooden plaque, and Xie Lin first jumped up from the ground, saying: "Where did you find this?! This is Xie Yan's, how could he throw away his wooden plaque? Xie Yan must have encountered danger!"

  Xie Yan encountered danger, so he and Luo Qifeng were together, and it's estimated that Luo Qifeng's situation was not good either.

  Wen Baiyu looked at An Ran, who was still sleeping soundly, and said: "Since we've all arrived here, plus Xie Yan's wooden plaque, that makes six in total. Why don't we combine them to see if we can see any map? Maybe we can find Xie Yan and Luo Qifeng. Besides this, I couldn't think of any other way."

  That day, everyone said they would meet at a small restaurant, actually wanting to put together the wooden plaques they had obtained. They had six in total, but one was missing. That one should have been inside the annual ring coffin/wood on Mount Kuangtu, but when they opened it, there was no wooden plaque inside. However, when they first opened it, a blood sacrifice was required, indicating that it was the first time it was opened. The wooden plaque had mysteriously disappeared for some reason.

  Wen Baiyu thought, maybe he could piece together six blocks and get a clue, but because Xie Yan wore the wooden sign into the desert, it was delayed again and again.

  They haven't found Xie Yun yet, but they have Xie Yun's wooden tablet in their hands, which can be pieced together.

  Everyone took out their wooden plaques, and Mo Yi removed An Ran's plaque from her neck and placed it on the ground as well.

  There are special patterns on the wooden board. These patterns seem to be disorderly and not words, but they can really be pieced together.

  None of the wooden boards were exactly the same shape, and they just happened to form a hexagon with an empty space in the middle that could fit another board. Judging from the pattern of the grain, it should be the missing piece they couldn't find.

  Ye Liu Xiang was a bit disappointed and said: "After messing around for half a day, it's still missing a big piece, the most important part is in the middle."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou carefully examined this "puzzle" that lacked a center, and suddenly tapped two of the wooden plaques, saying: "Look here."

  Everyone lowered their heads to look, and Wan Qi Jing Hou pointed to the place where two wooden plaques were spliced together. However, no matter how they looked at it, they couldn't tell what it was, but when spliced together, a shape actually appeared.

  The ghost narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a skull wall."

  Everyone looked at Minggui, and Minggui said: "I have a deep impression of Skull Wall. Although the painting here is simple, as long as you've seen Skull Wall, you can recognize it at a glance."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou pointed at the skull wall carved on the wooden sign and said: "This is a gate."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "You're saying that Xie Fengzi wants to find 'that place'?"

  Mo Jie Jing Hou said: "It's very likely that from this gate, we can find that place."

  The skull wall painting on the wooden board is very simple and abstract, mainly the roads connecting the skull walls, and there are many marks on the wooden board, which look like roads at a glance.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This is good enough. Although we don't have the intermediate wooden sign, at least we can find the entrance. There's also a simple map."

  A map has appeared here without a compass or guide, it's like a pie falling from the sky.

  Everyone heard that they had found the way, which was absolutely great news. They were all invigorated and even had more energy to eat. They decided to have a big meal and then continue on their journey.

  Lu Kai carefully filled a bowl with food and handed it to Qin Boss, his smile as fawning as a dog's leg.

  "Let's eat? How's your wound? I'll feed you, okay?"

  Qin boss rolled his eyes and said: "My hand is not injured, and I am not a woman, don't use those tricks you use to flirt with girls on me."

  Lu Kai smiled and sat down, saying: "Then you can tease me, I don't mind."

  Mr. Qin: “......”

  Mr. Qin was speechless for a moment, then he clutched his bowl and chopsticks, subconsciously touched his neck, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no!"

  "What's wrong?" Luo Kai said.

  Mr. Qin touched his neck and said: "My necklace is gone."

  He said, quickly knelt down on the ground, and repeatedly felt around on the ground.

  "What necklace?" Luo Kai said.

  Mr. Qin said: "What my mother left me, a gold one, with my mother's photo inside."

  He said, not minding the messy floor, repeatedly searching, they had just been entangled in a fight and didn't know where it fell. Wen Baiyu remembered that necklace was taken from Xie's coffin, inside which there was a joint photo of Qin boss and his mother, looking very old-fashioned. Such an old thing might have broken directly.

  Qin boss looked very anxious, Luo Kai also helped to find, Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou had seen the pendant too, and they all helped to search around.

  Qin Pei saw Qin boss acting like a madman, afraid he would run far and get into danger, with an unwilling expression on his face. However, he actually had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and went to help search around. Wei Cangshui was afraid he would get lost alone, so followed Qin Pei.

  There were many snake corpses on the ground, and they had already been piled up for sale. Qin Pei muttered to herself: "Didn't we bury them together with the snakes? It's just a necklace, if it's lost, I can buy another one."

  Wei You pinched Qin Pei's face, and Qin Pei glared at him, saying: "What are you doing!"

  Wei Qiu Shui said: "You're obviously the most enthusiastic one, yet you still have to be stubborn."

  Qin Pei hummed and said: "I'm willing to say."

  He said, squatting down and searching around the mound where the snake was buried, even using a branch to dig into the soil, and indeed saw a gold chain that had already turned black.

  Qin Pei immediately reached out to dig the soil, and after digging for half a day, the gold chain was indeed mixed in here, and it was almost buried without anyone knowing.

  Qin Pei pulled up the gold chain, and also pulled up the pendant, but it might have been shaken off, the pendant was a bit damaged, the photo box's latch couldn't be used, it was clearly closed, but with just a light touch, the photo box opened.

  An old photo appeared in front of Qin Pei and Wei Chongshui, at that time the boss Qin was still very young, Boss Qin's mother looked very beautiful and elegant, with a noble air, no matter how outdated the clothes were, it felt exceptionally beautiful.

  Qin boss and Qin Pei are half-brothers, Qin Pei probably inherited his mother's looks, and doesn't look like Qin boss at all. Qin boss has a 50-60% resemblance to his mother, especially in the eyes and nose, they almost look identical at first glance.

  Wei Qiu Shui suddenly "slapped" and snatched the pendant, staring at the old photo on it carefully.

  Qin Pei was slapped on the hand by him, and her palm hurt immediately. She looked at it and saw that it had turned red. Glaring at him with wide eyes, she said: "You Wei family's member have gone mad!"

  But Wei Qiu Shui didn't pay attention to him at all, still staring intently at the old photo, then looked up to compare with Qin Laoban, who was in the distance, kneeling on the ground and searching back and forth without realizing they had already found it.

  Wei Qiu's eyes narrowed, constantly staring at the old photos in his hand, then looked at Qin Laoban, with a very complex gaze. Qin Pei's heart skipped a beat, Wei Qiu's gaze was too focused, making him wonder if Wei Qiu actually liked Qin Xia?

  Qin Pei thought for a moment, and suddenly a wave of anger surged up.

  Wei You Shen hadn't noticed at all, still reeling from the shock, and suddenly said in a daze: "So that's how it is......it's just like......"

  Wei Qiu Shui was not young, about thirty years old, much older than Qin Wei. Qin Wei couldn't help but think, what did it mean to be too similar? Did it mean that Qin Xia and her mother looked too alike? Had Wei Qiu Shui seen Qin Xia's mother before?

  Qin Pei's doubts grew more and more, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Suddenly, he stepped on Wei Qiu Shui's back with one foot, snatched the pendant from him, and said: "Wei Qiu Shui, go to hell!"

  He said that while kicking his foot over, Wei Qiu Shui was thinking about something and happened to be kicked in the abdomen, completely unaware of what had happened to Qin Pei.

  Qin Pei snatched the pendant and quickly rushed back to the camp, then threw the pendant at Old Man Qin.

  Mr. Qin let out a sigh of relief as soon as he saw it and said: "Great, I thought it was really lost, thank you."

  Qin Pei Zheng was unhappy and when he heard Qin boss thanking him, he didn't have any happy expression either, shrinking to one side without speaking.

  Wei Qiu Shui walked over and sat down beside Qin Pei, who glared at him fiercely. There was still a grey footprint on Wei Qiu Shui's abdomen. He pinched Qin Pei's chin and said, "What are you doing? Your foot doesn't hurt anymore, yet you're kicking people?"

  Qin Pei swung open his hand and said: "I agree."

  Wei You said with a smile: "Is your temper getting better?"

  Qin Pei glared and said: "My temper has always been this big, it's just this bad. You'd better go find someone else, whoever you like!"

  Wei Youshui was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered his absent-minded words earlier, and didn't expect Qin Pei to have heard them. He pulled Qin Pei back and said, "You misunderstood."

  Two people are naturally quarrelsome, Luo Kai is already used to it. Wen Baiyu rubbed her sore head, just now the two were fine, don't know why they started arguing again.

  After everyone rested for a while and had lunch, they extinguished the fire and prepared to continue moving forward according to the map. Wen Baiyu copied the map from the wooden plaques onto paper, which was more convenient. The other wooden plaques were still worn on their bodies to counteract the poisonous effects of the wooden plaques.

  An Ran woke up for a while, ate some food, but didn't eat much and fell asleep again. When everyone was ready to set off, Mo Yi picked An Ran up on his back. An Ran woke up dazedly again and softly called out: "Shifu..."

  That voice was especially small, just like a kitten's cry, the hot air sprayed on Mo Yi's ear, and Mo Yi's heart immediately ignited with anger, burning to the point of unbearable pain. However, now is definitely not the time, so he smiled and said: "You rest, I'll carry you."

  An Ran was really too sleepy, nodded slightly, and didn't know if Mo Yi saw it or not, then fell asleep on Mo Yi's shoulder.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and grasped Wen Bai Yu's hand, slowly walking forward. Because the trees were dense on this side, the road was not easy to walk, and everyone didn't think it was a big deal holding hands.

  Wen Baiyu initially felt a bit embarrassed, but soon got used to it, possibly due to being trained by Wan Kuangjing's thick skin. As a result, when he turned his head, he found that Xiao Hei was also holding Qi Duan like this, and Qi Duan had an extremely obedient and honest expression, as if he wanted to put his other paw in Hei's hand as well.

  The crowd followed Wan Qi Jing Hou, the map was very simple, many places were actually very vague, and the trees grew too lush/dense, they spent a lot of time identifying the map, around 4 pm, amidst the crowd's exclamations, they finally rushed out of the oasis.

  Before my eyes is again the endless desert, without a single blade of grass or tree, the ground is all black and yellow sand, looking extremely desolate. Today is overcast, at 4 o'clock it's already getting dark, the wind makes a "whoooo" sound, as if crying.

  An Ran suddenly woke up with a start, grasped Mo Yisi's shoulder and exclaimed: "Someone... someone is crying!"

  An Ran suddenly shouted, startling everyone. Mo Yi comforted him, saying: "Nothing, just the wind, you had a nightmare?"

  An Ran took a deep breath and said: "I... I vaguely heard the sound of crying, and thought that something had happened again..."

  Before me was an endless desert, and in the desert stood a black thing, faintly erect, like a wall...

  Ming Gui raised his binoculars, but the light source was too dark and he couldn't see clearly. However, he had been here once before and recognized it at a glance, saying: "Right, this is the place."

  Wen Baiyu also raised his binoculars to look, vaguely unable to see clearly, but with a bit of effort, he could see individual skulls in the darkness, their eyes black and empty, the moonlight shining down, as if they had all been absorbed, appearing extremely eerie in the local mirror tube.

  With a flick of his wrist, he took down the telescope and said, "It's really a skull wall."

  Lu Kai looked at everyone and said: "The sky is going to be dark soon, what should we do? Should we go now?"

  They stood at the edge of the oasis and the desert, it was already four o'clock and had turned dark. In the winter desert, they had to find a place to set up camp before four o'clock, otherwise when night fell, the temperature would drop to minus twenty or thirty degrees, which could be fatal.

  Suddenly advancing forward, in front is a strange skull wall, and it's very likely that hundreds or thousands of spiders will emerge.

  Should we stay in the oasis and have a bonfire tonight?

  Everyone's mind is inclined towards the latter, after all, going out doesn't know what will happen, but there are two problems. First, their food is already insufficient, and delaying time is equivalent to consuming life. Second, they have found the skull wall, and the seven wooden plaques record "that place", the two treasures of the Queen Mother of the West's country.

  The allure of treasure may not be great for Wen Baiyu, but Xie Yan and Luo Qifeng are likely to be inside "that place".

  Wen Baiyu glanced at everyone and quickly looked towards Wan Kuang Jing Hou.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou thought for a moment and said, "Let's set up camp in the oasis and head out again at dawn tomorrow. The skull wall is likely to be used for sacrificial purposes, and rushing past it in the dark of night may result in even greater losses."

  Wan Qi Jinghou said it was very reasonable, and the crowd also tended to the latter, so they all stayed in the oasis, preparing to set up tents. Xie Linxiao and Ye Liuxiang looked extremely anxious, but there was no way out. They had never been to Skull Wall, only seeing it from binoculars made them feel very eerie, and absolutely could not venture in.

  Everyone began to set up camp, and Wen Baiyu carefully looked at the skull wall. Every time he looked at it, he felt a thrill of fear, but he didn't know why. He always felt that the skull wall seemed to be staring back at them...

  Wen Baiyu finally put down the telescope, shook his head and drove away the strange thoughts in his mind.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou called Wen Bai Yu over to eat, Wen Bai Yu sat down, Wan Jie Jing Hou touched his cheek and said: "Your complexion doesn't look good, are you tired?"

  Wen Baiyu shook her head and said, "It's nothing, just sleep it off."

  "Come on, eat quickly and then go into the tent to sleep. Get a good rest and don't think too much."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, feeling a bit unenthusiastic about eating, but still forced himself to eat a lot to recover his energy. After eating, he went into the tent and fell asleep directly.

  Wen Baiyu was sleeping drowsily when she heard the curtain being lifted. She opened her eyes to find that it was Wan Jiahui who had entered.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou patted his forehead and said: "I'll keep watch tonight, you can rest assured."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said, pulling out a quilt from his backpack and adding another layer to cover Wen Bai Yu. Normally, Wan Qi Jing Hou would hold Wen Bai Yu in his arms, as his body temperature was relatively high and Wen Bai Yu wouldn't feel cold. Now that Wan Qi Jing Hou had to go on night watch, he added an extra quilt for him, then touched Wen Bai Yu's forehead and found no fever, only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

  Wen Baiyu nodded and soon fell asleep again.

  Wan Kuang saw that he was sleeping soundly, so he lifted the curtain and walked out. After going out, he also tucked in the tent curtain, making it airtight.

  Wen Baiyu was sleeping drowsily when she heard a sound from the next tent. The tents were all crowded together and tied up, which could block the wind and also made people feel safer. So there were two layers of tents between her and the next one, but the sound still came through clearly.

  Qin Pei's voice was clearly in a moan, somewhat painful, and scolding loudly: "Wei Qiushui, I'm going to kill you, it hurts so much... Don't... We still have to rush tomorrow, I hurt, I really hurt..."

  Wei Youxin smiled and said, "Who do you want to frame?"

  Qin Pei's voice was already in tears, unable to bear it and begged for mercy, saying: "Don't mess with me anymore, I was wrong, it really hurts, don't believe me try it! What are you doing..."

  Wei You's voice suddenly dropped low and murmured vaguely: "Qin Pei, I like you... I like you..."

  Qin Pei's loud scolding stopped, and she started to moan continuously, as if she had changed from feeling pain to feeling comfortable. Her mouth muttered disjointedly: "Don't say it, don't say it! You're too mushy!"

  Wei Qiu Shui kept repeating "I like you" over and over, like a broken record, but it seemed to be working as Qin Pei quickly became obedient and stopped scolding people. The remaining words made Wen Bai Yu's face turn red with embarrassment.

  Wen Baiyu gazed at the top of the tent, glanced sideways at the little ones lying on one side, who were still sleeping soundly. Hei Yuemao was also asleep beside them, with a very regular sleeping posture, lying on his back with his hands placed on his chest, his black hair scattered on both sides, revealing his entire pair of eyes that seemed cold and seductive.

  Seven curled up on one side, lying beside black feathers, also slept very much like, as if not hearing the sound from next door.

  Hei Yu Mao suddenly flipped over, lying on his side with his back to Wen Bai Yu. He was facing Qi Duan, who had just been dozing off and suddenly opened his eyes to find Hei Yu Mao's black eyes staring at him, as if he hadn't slept at all.

  Qī Dǔn's heart skipped a beat, and Hei Yǔmáo's hand, like in a dream, naturally landed on Qī Dǔn's back. His palm pressed against Qī Dǔn's lower back, and with a gentle push, the two bodies were pressed together. Hei Yǔmáo was filled with warmth, just like before he had cracked open, and his cold face was nowhere to be seen.

  Qī Dǔ took two deep breaths, his lips brushing against Hei Yu Mao's hair twice before gently biting down on it. Hei Yu Mao leaned in closer, covering Qī Dǔ's mouth with his own, both of their mouths filled with hair as they entwined together. Qī Dǔ seemed even more excited now, but he didn't dare to breathe heavily, afraid of disturbing Wēn Bái Yǔ.

  Wen Baiyu had no idea that Wan Xixiaohei and Qi Du were playing intimate games under her nose, and they even played various ways...

  It's unknown how much time had passed when Qin Pei's voice disappeared, probably because she had calmed down. Wei Youcai's voice was very soft as he said: "Qin Pei, I like you and really want to be with you forever, but I can't..."

  Wen Baiyu herself was about to fall asleep, and vaguely heard a sound, which made her slightly wake up. However, the next room had already fallen silent, so Wen Baiyu thought she was just having an auditory hallucination from a dream, and didn't take it seriously.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou and Qi San Ye were on watch for the first half of the night, while Wei Qiu Shui and Luo Kai took over for the second half. As the latter half of the night wore on, Luo Kai emerged from his tent, stretched his waist, and looked like he hadn't slept much during the first half either. His eyes had dark circles under them, but he smiled and said, "Thanks for your hard work, both of you."

  Luo Kai walked over, sat down by the fire, and pulled out his gun. After waiting for half a day, Wei Qianshui still hadn't come out. Luo Kai said, "What's Wei Ge doing? I'll go call him."

  Luo Kai got up and quickly walked to the side of the tent, saying: "Wei Ge? Don't sleep, get up for night watch, it's time to change shifts."

  However, Luo Kai called out twice, but there was no sound from inside the tent. Luo Kai couldn't help but lift up the curtain and take a peek, only to find that Qin Pei was alone inside the tent.

  Qin Pei was blown by a cold wind and shivered, saying: "Huh... what's wrong?"

  Lu Kai's eyes swept around and landed on the hickey on Qin Pei's neck, he burst out laughing and said: "Sister-in-law, where is Wei Ge?"

  Qin Pei heard vaguely, didn't understand what Luo Kai said at all, stretched out her hand to pull the quilt and covered it on her head, saying: "I'm going to die, my waist hurts so much..."

  Lu Kai: "......"

  Luo Kai turned around in a circle and still couldn't find Wei Qiu Shui, finally feeling that something was off. Wan Xi Jing Hou also furrowed his brow upon hearing this.

  The camp lights all lit up at once, and Wen Baiyu also crawled out of the tent, saying: "What's going on?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Wei Qiu Shui is gone."

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback, today is Wan Kuangjing's shift in the first half of the night, but Wei Qian Shui has disappeared?

  The camp lights were all on, and everyone was woken up. They thought something unexpected had happened and crawled out of their tents. Qin Pei was fully awake at this time, hastily pulling on her clothes, and as soon as she came out of the tent, she heard Luo Kai say: "Wei Ge is gone."

  Qin Pei was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was unlikely, after all, Wei Qianshui had just been with him, how could he disappear suddenly.

  It can be confirmed that no one has come to the camp, nor have there been any attacks by wild beasts or poisonous insects. Moreover, Wan Jie Jing Hou and Qi San Ye are two dragon candles, it is impossible for something to be taken away from under their noses, and yet nothing has been discovered.

  There is only one possibility.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly remembered what Wei Qianshui had said in his dream, but he couldn't do it...

  Wen Baiyu said: "Did Wei Youzi go by himself?"

  Qin Pei said: "How is this possible! The luggage in the tent hasn't decreased, he didn't bring food and water, how could he have left on his own?"

  Luó Kāi said: "Will it be more convenient if we go?"

  Luo Kai finished speaking and also felt that something was not quite right. They were shining their lights and making a big show of searching for Wei Qiu Shui, but even if Wei Qiu Shui had gone to the bathroom, he should have returned by now. Yet there was no sign of him at all.

  Everyone fell silent, thinking about Wei Youcai in their minds. The first time they met, he suddenly rushed out of the desert, and at that time, the situation was chaotic, and everyone ignored a problem.

  That's when they rode camels for four or five hours, Qin Pei Luo drove their off-road vehicle for four or five hours, while Wei Qiu Shui rushed out alone, without a backpack, food, water, equipment, none of the essentials, how did he cross the desert?

  There is also Wei You's sudden madness on a Blood Moon night.

  Now Wei You suddenly disappeared too.

  Qin Pei's lips trembled slightly, and a possibility suddenly rose in her heart. Perhaps Wei Qianshui came to the desert not to find herself, but for other things...

  Wen Baiyu said: "Has Wei You recently shown any particularly unusual phenomena?"

  Luo Kai shook his head and said: "Wei Ge doesn't talk much, he usually won't say anything, and there's nothing strange about his behavior."

  Qin Pei suddenly said: "There is, I know."

  He said, looking at Qin boss, Qin boss was somewhat surprised, and didn't know what Qin Pei was staring at him for.

  Qin Pei said: "Wei Qiu Shui knew your mother, he saw the photo in the pendant, and then he was very abnormal, he said 'so it is, too similar'."

  Mr. Qin was even more suspicious and said: "This is impossible, my mother disappeared a long time ago, how could Wei Qianshui possibly know my mother?"

  Wen Baiyu was also very strange.

  So that's how it is...

  Too much alike...

  What does it mean?

  Is it because Qin boss and his mother look alike? But according to Qin boss's age, he is only a few years older than Wei Cangshui. If Wei Cangshui knew Qin boss's mother, she must have been just a child at that time.

  Everyone didn't understand what Wei Qiu Shui was saying, and suddenly Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Our thinking has entered a strange circle, maybe what Wei Qiu Shui said is not that Qin boss and the person in the photo look alike."

  Qin Pei said: "Impossible, he was holding a photo at that time, looking at it while also looking at... ah, my brother."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "There is another possibility, perhaps Qin boss and his mother are like another person at the same time."

  And this person is related to the desert.

  Wen Baiyu's mind suddenly flashed, and she had a bold guess. The year Qin Lao's mother suddenly disappeared, many people spread that she had eloped, but in fact, she was taken away by Xie Kuangzi. Xie Kuangzi was obviously interrogating her with some questions, but Qin Lao's mother kept saying on the recording that she didn't know anything.

  Wen Baiyu had a guess that perhaps it was because Qin's boss's mother looked like someone else, which led to Xie Fengzi's misunderstanding and questioning the wrong person.

  But there's another unconvincing part, if Xie Feng/Zi Kao/Wrong asked the wrong question, then how did he find "that place", the key is still on that tape, but the tape has exploded, and everything becomes speculation.

  Wen Baiyu always felt that this puzzle was actually a bit transparent, and Wei Qianshui's sentence "too much like" had already given him enough inspiration, but it was just separated by a layer of gauze, making Wen Baiyu think about it.

  Wen Baiyu took a deep breath, rubbed his temples with his hands, and felt somewhat tired.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou reached out and supported him, saying: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt dizzy, and a buzzing sound echoed in her mind. At the same time, Qiong Qi also took a deep breath and pressed his hand against his chest.

  "What's wrong?" Ming Gui said.

  He waved his hand in distress, unable to speak.

  Xie Lin said with a roll of her sleeves, "It's poisonous."

  Xie Lin's arm was covered in green tattoos, which had already become very dark. Under the pale light of the camp lamp, they looked even more sinister and terrifying.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's eyes narrowed, and he immediately tore open Wen Bai Yu's clothes. On Wen Bai Yu's body, the poisonous flower pattern of the Gu poison began to slowly grow again, as if it were alive...

  Wan Xi Jing Hou supported Wen Bai Yu and said: "What's going on? The wooden plaque is clearly worn."

  Xie Lin's heart was racing, she narrowed her eyes and stared at the poison spreading from her wrist to the back of her hand. She took two deep breaths, and some scattered memories came flooding in like a tide, opening the floodgates, but were quickly washed away, and some escaped capture.

  Xie Lin panted heavily and said: "Perhaps... it's because 'that place'... is near."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou was taken aback, and then quickly picked up the telescope that had fallen to the ground. He looked towards the skull wall, but the night was too dark. However, Wan Kuang Jing Hou was not afraid of the darkness, as his eyes could easily distinguish objects in the night.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, but soon fell silent, furrowing his brow.

  Wen Baiyu was all too familiar with this expression of his. One look and he knew something was up, and every time he wore this expression, it was always a big deal.

  "What's wrong? What did you see?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou fell silent for a while, and did not speak immediately, but instead repeatedly verified what he saw.

  Just as everyone was waiting anxiously and wanting to urge him on, Wan Gui Jing Hou suddenly said in a low voice: "The cave wall is gone."
