Chapter fifty-fifth so unlucky

After a night of sleep, the hunting team packed up their things early the next morning and began to pass through the cave.

Shao Xuan slept well that night and did not dream of anything terrifying.

"Everyone must follow closely, especially A Xuan and Mao. The first time you left, you should pay special attention. If you get lost, you may never get out again." Mai said seriously.

This was not a threat, but a fact. Even the ancestors of the first few generations of those who opened up this hunting route paid a heavy price before finally finding the right path. In this big maze, I don’t know how many people went in and never came out again.

"Well, don't worry, we will pay attention." Shao Xuan said.

The spear nodded, and in the hunting team, he always abides by the rules and knows that listening to the older hunting warriors is right.

As we walked in, we were getting darker and darker, and there were people holding torches in the hunting team every few times.

After gradually moving away from the entrance of the cave, there was only the torch light in the cave, which was not bright, but it was enough to see the road beneath your feet.

Just like what Mai and the others said to Shao Xuan, the more you go in the cave, the more you will find that there are crisscrossing and there are many forks. Sometimes you will find two or three holes when you turn around, but the hunting team has only one of them.

Even if there are many Taos that are connected to the outside world, if you really enter and don’t know the way, you will soon get lost. Maybe you will turn several times and return to your original place.

Perhaps because there are many holes connected to the outside world, the hole does not make people feel suffocated, but there will always be some faint wind, and the rhythmic sound of some large animal breathing.

There are no other aggressive creatures in the cave for the time being, but I heard that some insects and spiders live in it.

The passages in the cave are not only curved, but also sometimes high and low, sometimes sliding downward, and sometimes climbing steep slopes. Be careful not to fall behind. Among the hunting teams, the ones who are most familiar with the road are basically those old soldiers with many years of experience. Younger people like Langga may not be able to remember such complex routes clearly.

It’s not that no one thought of marking the cave wall, but every time after marking it and leaving, the traces disappeared. Various events made the hunting team believe that the mountain must have been as speculated by the ancestors, and there was a stone worm king insect, but no one had seen it before.

Therefore, the later hunting teams no longer marked the cave walls, and they tried not to make loud noises when passing through the cave, for fear of disturbing the giant thing in the mountains.

In the tribe, stone insects do look harmless, but the stone insect king insects are different, otherwise how can they be called "king"?

Just like when the hunting team was traveling before, Shao Xuan and Mao walked in the middle of the team, which would better protect them.

Shao Xuan used his special ability to observe other places in the cave. Sometimes he would see some larger bugs. However, those bugs did not attack the hunting team, and the hunting team members would not provoke them. One is that they didn't know how many such insects were here. If they attracted a large group, it would be difficult to deal with. Another is that they didn't want to make too much noise. If they accidentally alarmed the big guys in the mountains, it would be a disaster.

If the cave is straight, it will not take long to get out of the mountain, but it took the hunting team almost half a day to get a sentence from Mai: "It's almost time to exit."

Turning around a corner and walking out, there are two intersections in front, one of which is the road leading to the exit, but at this moment, spiders are stuck on both intersections.

It is an eyeless spider. Perhaps because he has lived in a cave where he has not seen a trace of light for a long time, his eyes gradually deteriorated. Their torso is relatively not very big, but his legs are very long, and he can directly cover the entrance like a cover.

Mai and two other soldiers, who were walking in the front, silently threatened the spiders blocking the entrance with torches and spears. They could feel the scorching heat of the flames, and they would also retreat when the torches swayed.

There were only two eyeless spiders on the road leading to the cave. In comparison, there were more on the other side. Moreover, because of the shaking torches, the spiders at the intersections on both sides moved, waving their cervical limbs at the people holding the torches, and their teeth were opened, as if warning the people in the hunting team.

"Don't care about them, leave quickly!" Mai had already driven away the eyeless spider blocking the road, and called on the team members behind to follow. In his experience, eyeless spiders rarely fight with people persistently. Their food is other bugs in the hole, so as long as you are careful not to anger them, and take a step back, you can still avoid them smoothly.

But the accident happened at this time. Shao Xuan, who was protected in the middle, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He became alert and looked at the eyeless spiders waving their cervical limbs around him. No, it wasn't them!

Shao Xuan looked up suddenly and saw a black whip rolling down like lightning, but Shao Xuan had no time to block it with a knife, but the whole thing was tightened and pulled upwards.

All this happened in an instant. Most of the people in the hunting team were busy guarding against those eyeless spiders, but they didn't expect that there was another one above their heads, but it seemed that it was not an eyeless spider. The person who noticed it was still one step slower and could not stop it.

"A Xuan!"

"Mai, Ah Xuan was dragged away!"

"How come there is a hole above! I didn't even come last time!"

"What was that just now?!"

At this time, everyone didn't care about giving in and blocked the approaching eyeless spider and stabbed it a few times. However, Shao Xuan was dragged away from above, and it was a bit difficult to go up. Mai asked others to deal with the eyeless spider who was approaching, and he climbed up the cave wall. Not long after, Mai came back, his face looked ugly.

The creature dragged Shao Xuan away was too fast. When Mai chased after him, he was gone and could not hear Shao Xuan's shouting. Moreover, there was a fork in the middle of the journey. There were some people who went up, down or straight. After trying a few times, Mai could only return without success.

Yamauchi, those creatures who have lived in the dark for many years, know much more about the cave than they do.

He was worried that the rest of the hunting team would have to return first. After all, he was the leader of the hunting team and he had to be responsible for more than 30 other people.

He hated the hole wall, and Mai returned to deal with the more and more eyeless spiders with the rest of the team.

The situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to them. The hunting team had to rush out from the intersection first. This place was not far from outside the cave. The eyeless spiders would not chase them outside, and they did not like light.

It is common for hunting teams to break people. This time it is Shao Xuan, and there will be others in the future. But Lang Ga and the others are younger and less rational. They want to continue looking for it, but they are pulled away by others. Some old soldiers have long been used to such partings.

Many hunting warriors sighed in their hearts, why is Ah Xuan so unlucky? He encountered everything when he came out for the first time to hunt.

Not long after, the hunting team saw the light, and the eyeless spiders chasing behind them also stopped.

On the other hand, Shao Xuan, who was dragged away, was not feeling well.

What dragged him away was a bug living in a cave, slightly smaller than an eyeless spider, but his strength and speed may not be inferior to that of an eyeless spider.

What curled Shao Xuan was the insect's long tentacles. There was a serrated structure like a hook at the front of the tentacles. If Shao Xuan hadn't reacted quickly and blocked the serrated teeth with a stone knife, he might have been cut when he was wrapped. The serrated teeth at the front of the tentacles were cut on the stone knife and made a giggle sound.

After struggling hard, Shao Xuan only struggled a little and couldn't break free. When the turn changed rapidly, Shao Xuan directly hit the stone wall at the corner, and almost vomited out the food he ate in the morning.

After enduring the pain and relaxing a little, Shao Xuan pulled out the tooth knife with the broken tip and slashed it hard towards the tentacle.

Bang!

The tentacle that was wrapped around Shao Xuan was cut off. After the insect lost one of the tentacles, it also jumped around in pain. Shao Xuan, who was thrown, rolled up and fell into a passage next to him. The passage was facing down. Shao Xuan didn't have time to stand firm, but he slid down the slope again.

I don’t know how far I slid, but when I finally stopped at my feet, Shao Xuan was dizzy. He hit the hole wall several times and was dragged all the way. Now his whole body is in pain.

After gasping for breath, Shao Xuan still thought of returning along the same path. The longer he stayed here, the more dangerous it became.

Just as he was about to climb up the steep slope, Shao Xuan heard a whirring sound coming from a passage behind him, like the wind blew, but it was rhythmic.
